In the summer heat, hot people are bored. Mama Lin and Li Yue were frozen outside the courtyard gate, and no one was willing to give a step. After Li Yue's eyes glanced at the maid behind Mama Lin, she was even more vigilant.

"Even if I'm not a big girl now, I have to listen to the girl in this Qingxue Courtyard. Mama, you say yes. ”

"Miss Fourth doesn't have a big girl by her side, so she naturally relies on you. In the future, you can honestly be a second-class maid. ”

After saying this, Mama Lin crossed Li Yue and led the maid onto the bluestone road in the courtyard, and walked up the stairs to the door of Li Jiangwei's room.

"Fourth Miss! The old slave has sent someone to you! ”

Li Jiangwei pushed the door with a displeased expression and said, "What are you doing in my courtyard?" Don't know the communication? ”

Mama Lin saluted perfunctorily and said, "Madame knows that there are no first-class maids in Qingxue Courtyard, so she specially sent Yun Xin in her courtyard. ”

Li Jiangwei responded indifferently: "There is no shortage of maids in my hospital. ”

Mama Lin smiled and said, "Fourth Miss, I'm afraid I haven't seen the pomp and circumstance of the noble family of the world, and there are few five or six maids." If others knew that there were only two maids in the young lady's room, they would be laughed at. ”

"Jokes are jokes." Li Jiangwei didn't care much, "Anyway, it's the face of An Yuanbo's mansion that is lost." ”

Mama Lin's smile dissipated, and she said coldly: "Miss hasn't left the pavilion yet, and it's not good for you to lose the face of Uncle Anyuan's mansion." Before leaving, he said: "This is Madame's intention, and the fourth lady can't refuse." ”

Just as Mama Lin turned to leave, the little maid frowned and looked up at Mama Lin's back. The small mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something. Suddenly, a spirit hurriedly withdrew his gaze and obediently saluted Li Jiangwei.

"Slave Yunxin, I've seen the girl."

Li Jiangwei blocked her breath, and even looked at Yun Xin's eyes with displeasure.

"Mama Fang Cai said that you are the person next to your mother. But why haven't I seen you at my mother's? ”

Yun Xin's cheeks were dyed crimson, and his gaze was evasive.

"If it's really my mother's side, I shouldn't call myself a slave in front of me."

Yun Xin hurriedly replied: "The slave maid has never deceived the girl, and the slave maid has indeed done something in the lady's courtyard!" ”

"Is it a second-class maid or a maid who does chores?"

Yun Xin looked at Li Jiangwei a little anxiously, and her voice quickened: "Is it the slave who did something wrong?" Why should the girl be so aggressive? ”

"Keep your mouth clean! The girl just knows your details, why is she aggressive? Li Yue said dissatisfiedly: "Since you have come to this Qingxue Courtyard, you should abide by the rules of Qingxue Courtyard, and you should also maintain the girl's reputation." ”

Li Jiangwei glanced at Li Yue with relief, and then said to Yun Xin: "You first learn the rules in Qingxue Courtyard with Li Yue." On weekdays, you don't have to serve me. ”

Yun Xin frowned, and said, "The slave is the big girl!" How can you let a slave and maid learn the rules from others! ”

"So what?" Li Jiangwei said as a matter of course: "In Qingxue Courtyard, there is only a difference between the monthly money between the first-class maid and the second-class maid. But if thou shalt not be satisfied, go and tell thy mother to go back to her yard. ”

Yun Xin's hanging hand grabbed the hem of his clothes, endured his grievances, and answered yes. Li Jiangwei looked uncomfortable, turned around and went back to the house and closed the door.

The person sent by the Qian family, Li Jiangwei didn't dare to use it after all, afraid that this was another means for the family to use themselves to deal with her sister.

With a cloud heart here, you have to be careful even when sending letters.

Fortunately, this letter changed hands several times and was finally delivered to Yu Yongyi. After receiving Li Jiangwei's letter, Yu Yongyi smiled heartily.

Above the court, all the officials are men. After Yu Yongyi's imperial sister Yu Yongqing was named the imperial concubine, there were always some rumors, saying that women could not govern the court well, and some said that women should not go to the court.

This kind of rhetoric about the royal family has also reached the ears of the emperor, but the emperor was unmoved, nor did he order rectification. The emperor's indulgence confirmed the rumors that he didn't like the emperor.

It wasn't until Lu Jiangfeng became the prince that he got better.

After listening to Li Jiangyun's deeds, out of selfishness, he hoped that there would be a woman who had come up from the scientific examination in the court. Such a woman can share the pressure for the imperial sister.

Yu Yongyi came to the East Palace with the letter, and as soon as he entered the study, he shouted: "Sister Huang! ”

There are a lot of folds neatly stacked on the desk of the East Palace, and I am afraid that I will not be able to read it for half a day. Behind the table, Yu Yongqing, who was wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe, was looking at today's new arrival, and ignored Yu Yongyi.

"Isn't there a lot of twists and turns in the past two days?"

Yu Yongqing didn't raise his head and snorted. Yu Yongyi squatted down, saw Zhen Yongqing's tightly knit brows, and became nervous for a while.

"Has something big happened lately?"

Yu Yongqing handed over the fold in his hand, and Yu Yongyi hurriedly took it and saw that it was news that there had been no rain in the south for a long time.

"Such a big thing! Why wasn't there any news before? ”

"There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is less rain than in previous years, and there is no major drought. The harvest will be slightly lower, and there will be no grains. As far as the situation is reported, this is the best. ”

Yu Yongqing leaned back, closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.

"As the saying goes, there will be a big flood after a great drought, and the Xiajiang area is the granary of Gongguo, so we have to beware of it. I have used the rhetoric of drought prevention to draw attention to food prices. Then it's a headache to talk about flood control. ”

"What the imperial sister can think of, it is impossible for the people of the six departments not to think of it."

"What about the thoughts? The key is that the father agrees! ”

Yu Yongqing exhaled a heavy breath.

"My father is becoming more and more harsh on me. He was reluctant to accept any of my proposals. When will you come back to the court and mention it in your father's ear? ”

"I'm not going to do that!" Yu Yongyi resolutely refused, "There are so many ministers in the East Palace, you go to them!" I just want to run a small bookstore, read books, drink tea and walk birds every day. I don't want to touch politics! ”

"Okay. Since you don't touch political affairs, what are you doing in the East Palace? Sister Huang doesn't have time to play with you right now. ”

After resting his eyes a little, Yu Yongqing opened a new book.

"Sister Huang and Mr. should have a connection, I want to take him to meet someone."

"What are you looking for to do with your husband? You just met Mr. the other day. Want to send a book to your husband again? ”

Yu Yongyi motioned with his hand to the guards guarding the room to bring a chair and sit down beside the imperial concubine.

"Sister Huang, is there no woman in the local area who has passed the imperial examination, or is there no woman who has passed the imperial examination?"

Yu Yongqing glanced at Yu Yongyi with a strange expression, and said helplessly: "Even the capital does not have an academy that is willing to recruit women, do you expect it to be in the locality?" How can they participate if they don't have a student status? ”

Yu Yongqing's eyes signaled and asked the subordinates to retreat. When only the two of them were left in the room, they continued: "When the Holy Ancestor was restructured, there were still women who took the exam. It wasn't until Gaozu carried out the imperial examination reform that this women's examination slowly became extinct. If you don't let go of your student status......"

Yu Yongqing looked at Yu Yongyi, who was not reluctant, and suddenly smiled: "Why are you so concerned today?" It's looking for Mr. again, and it's asking about the imperial examination. Who are you running this trip for? Did someone say something in front of you? ”

Yu Yongyi nodded honestly and said, "I learned that a woman wanted to take the exam and was stopped outside the exam room by her student status. I just want to ask Mr. if there is a way. ”

"It's not easy to ask Mr. to do things for you."

"My husband asked me to meet an author. I thought I'd take this opportunity to let them meet. ”

"Author? The author of "Overseas Lost" that you mentioned earlier? ”

Yu Yongyi nodded.

"What is the relationship between the author and the woman who is going to take the exam?"

"The two of them are sisters. I just have to invite the gentleman here, and as for whether the gentleman is willing to help, it depends on their ability. ”
