Although Luo Shiyuan hated the people of Xifu very much, but in the face of the same innocent victims, there was still a trace of pity in his heart, thinking that he had a reputation at a young age, and he must be a person with great ambitions. ”

Luo Sicheng's eyes flickered, and he said secretly: This old man wants to pull me into the water, but now I have to pretend to agree first, and then make another plan.

"Is Uncle Cousin's words true? Although the little nephew is famous, that is, he will be a jinshi in the future, but there is no backer in the family, presumably no one will be promoted, if he can be a running foot and miscellaneous uncle for his cousin, he will be an official and enter the knighthood in the future, but don't forget to promote the little nephew. ”

Luo Shiyuan was overjoyed, he didn't expect him to be so upright, and said with a smile: "Of course, I can't write a single word, although the East Mansion has a grudge with the West Mansion, it is also the grievance of the previous generation, if the little nephew really helps me, he will be added to the rank of knight one day, and you will naturally be indispensable." ”

But I forgot that rabbits are in a hurry to bite.

"Sicheng ......" Grandma Gu looked at him with teary eyes, but now she has become a drag on him.

Luo Sicheng gave a reassuring look and smiled faintly, "Grandma, I'll send you home first." ”

……

County Lord's Mansion.

"Did I get what you delivered?" Lin Meiti was writing the recipe and said as she wrote.

"Back to the master, the slave maid has been personally sent to the Xiao family in Wutong Lane according to your wishes, but Lord Xiao is not there, it is his housekeeper who accepted the gift." Qi Niang said with a smile.

It doesn't matter who collects it, as long as you accept it, Lin Mei said secretly. raised his head and smiled slightly: "We've been here for a while, it's time to leave, you go and inform Zilong and Aqing, let's go back to Luoyang tomorrow." ”

"No", after Qi Niang finished speaking, she turned around and retreated.

Lin Mei picked one of the most precious Zhu hairpins from the box rewarded by the Queen Mother, put it in a brocade box alone, and brought it with a few prescriptions, and went to the county lord of Kyaukyue to say goodbye.

"County Lord, Lin Mei has also been bothering in the house for many days, seeing that the New Year is coming, it's time to go back."

The county lord had just gotten up, and before he had fallen asleep, he was groggy and let the maid fiddle with her to make up, when he suddenly heard that she was leaving, he immediately woke up, and glared at her with eyes, "You have no conscience, you are leaving?" ”

Lin Meiwaner: "I can't stay in the princess's mansion for the rest of my life." ”

The county lord also knew that this was impossible, pursed his lips and turned his head away from her.

"No, this is something for you, if you don't want it, then I'll take it back."

The county lord looked at her from the mirror with a stingy look, and hated her teeth, "How can there be a reason to give away something and take it back." ”

Lin Mei smiled, and saw that the maid had already wrapped her hair in a bun for the county lord, opened the brocade box, and directly took Zhu Hai and inserted it on her head, and couldn't help but read: "When the window is cloudy and sideburns, the mirror is yellow." ”

The county lord glanced at her and said with a smile: "Poor mouth." ”

After speaking, he looked at the recipe in her hand and sighed deeply.

"Why is the county lord bothered?"

"You don't know, what I'm most afraid of now is the Spring Festival, but unfortunately you can't see it, in two days, the locusts in the princess's mansion to fight the autumn wind will come to the door again, you can't beat it, you can't scold it, you have to provide it well, you have to pay attention, you can wait for good wine and food, and you are annoyed to death." The county lord finished indignantly.

"You mean the Fan family?" Lin Mei raised her eyebrows.

"Who else? I think that I had Concubine De to support me, and I lived in the palace, on the first day of the new year every year, that is, I went through the motions, went to Fan's house and left, no one dared to bully me, and now that Concubine De is deceased, I moved to the princess's mansion again, those people are elders, and they all want to bully me, and every time they come, they eat and take like locusts, and it is annoying to think about it. ”

"The county lord is the lord of a mansion, and his status is noble, if you don't want to see them, you can take care of them."

"Have you ever seen the face of my aunt's family, my grandmother is seventy years old, under the guise of thinking about me, and I come to the princess's mansion every year, don't you see, where is the identity of my grandmother, if it is passed out, the imperial history that has nothing to do after eating is not allowed to mix with me to be ruthless and disrespectful to the elders. It's that I'm dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't say anything about my suffering, or you can make an idea for me. Instead, the county lord poured bitter water.

Lin Mei couldn't help but have a big head, and persuaded: "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that she is still the grandmother of the county lord, how can there be a reason for outsiders to come up with ideas to deal with it." ”

"Miss Lin, don't you know, although Mrs. Tai is old, kind-hearted, and good to the county lord, if she really receives the princess's mansion to raise, the county lord will not have a second word, but the lady of the big house and the third room is not easy to talk to, and she wants to meddle in the affairs of the princess's mansion around the corner, or she wants to ask the county lord to enter the palace to plan a good future for their children and grandchildren. Phantom Bamboo on the side said indignantly.

The affairs of the Fan family, Lin Mei also learned more or less from the mouth of the county lord, the second child of the Fan family is the father of the county lord, less than two years after the death of Princess Xiangyang, the second child of the Fan family also passed away one after another, leaving only the county lord alone. The first emperor was merciful, not only did not take back the princess's mansion, but also gave it to the county lord together with the princess's dowry. The Fan family also rose, and Fan Lao Er not only bought real estate and a grange for them in Chang'an, but also paid for several children to study. After the death of Fan Laoer, the eldest and the third child separated.

"It'll be fine after the county lord gets married, once and for all, can they still go to the county lord's in-laws?"

"Marry? Hmph, I wish I couldn't get married, if I get married, this princess's mansion will be taken back sooner or later. The heart will also be towards the in-law's family, how can there be a bargain to take advantage of. ”

"So, it's better for the county lord to marry quickly."

"I also want to marry, but who can I marry, those dukes' children, all of them have high visions, small families, and want to climb high branches, I have no power and no power, but I have the name of this county lord, who can look down on it."

Lin Mei figured it out in an instant, this is worrying about herself, and she will explain something in disguise. "Look at what the county lord said, the county lord has a good relationship with the queen mother, and he grew up with the emperor since childhood, just with these two points, if he looks down on anyone, it is not his blessing? On the day of the county lord's wedding, I will come to ask for a glass of wine. ”

"Really? If, if that person ever liked you, wouldn't you mind? The county lord glanced at her weakly.

Lin Mei smiled: "It's that he likes me, and it's not that I like him, the county lord doesn't mind, what do I have to mind." ”

The county lord finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, I don't say it, you also know who it is, I heard you talk about the matter between the two of you yesterday, and I broke off this idea." But I also have my difficulties, Concubine De Niangniang is the most uneasy thing about her deathbed is my lifelong event, so she entrusted me to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother saw that he was both talented and beautiful, and he was the grandson of the Xiao family, and wanted to be the master to marry us. I always want to get married, if I refuse the queen mother this time, annoying her old man, then I will be married to anyone, it is better to happily agree to marry him. ”
