Early the next morning, Yuzhu dragged the sleepy-eyed county lord up from the bed, and coaxed softly: "County lord, today you are going to Xiaoyaohou Mansion to celebrate your birthday, can you sleep until the third pole of the sun, get up quickly, Ziyu has learned a new hairstyle, just for you to try." ”

Qingluan couldn't, so he had to move to wash, sat down in front of the rhombic mirror again, and was served by Ziyu and Yuzhu dejectedly.

"I don't want to go." Qingluan said with annoyance. I knew that guy had such thoughts, so I shouldn't have agreed to go to his house.

"By the way, did you send Li Lan back to the house?" She went to bed early yesterday, and she didn't have time to ask about Li Lan's condition.

In a fit of anger, he ran back to the capital alone and left Li Lan in the other courtyard, which was really rude when he thought about it now.

Yuzhu helped the county lord carry the pearl flowers, and replied: "Miss Li Lan went back to Beijing with us, and the maid listened to your instructions and sent a few good ayaluo to Miss Li. ”

Qingluan nodded with satisfaction.

Next time, I'll personally apologize to Li Lan.

Ziyu sighed and said, "Look, I am afraid that Miss Li Lan is having a hard time in the General's Mansion. ”

Qingluan has heard others say before that Li Lan's mother is jealous and doesn't treat her children well, but she can't ask Li Lan about it, so she often takes Li Lan to play together, and she has the name of the eldest princess's mansion, and her mother-in-law is somewhat jealous and doesn't dare to belittle her too much.

It is said that Mrs. Li was born in a businessman, illiterate, mean and unkind, and is well-known in the noble circle in Beijing.

In her previous life, Li Lan was married by her mother-in-law to a squire in her thirties and made a house, and she didn't know how she would live in the future, because at that time, she had already left the capital with Xiao Boyan.

Yuzhu: "Yes, the maid sees that the clothes on her body are not suitable, and she must have borrowed them from her sisters." ”

Qingluan frowned and asked Yuzhu: "Is that really the case?" She hadn't paid any attention to that.

"Not really." Ziyu helped the county lord pull his hair in a bun, "The maid looks at Miss Li and doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry, and she still wears an old and dull silver bracelet on her wrist." ”

Yuzhu sighed, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, in the eyes of outsiders, those official ladies seem to be magnificent, noble and unapproachable, in fact, the hardships inside can be imagined.

Yuzhu looked at the gold-inlaid ruby gold bracelets on her two wrists, and secretly sighed that her life was good, and she entered the princess's mansion to serve the county lord since she was a child.

The princess's mansion treats people kindly, and the master's temperament is also kind and kind, she and Ziyu are two people who are clothed and fed by the county lord's side, and they are not much worse than the official lady, or even better.

What does the county lord eat, they also follow together, and there is no intrigue in the house, and they live a relaxed and comfortable life that the official ladies do not have.

Now, Yuzhu is nineteen years old, and Ziyu is eighteen years old, but they don't want to go out of the house to marry at all.

The best thing is to serve the county lord for the rest of his life, and in the future, like Aunt Mei, he will comb himself and not marry, and be the housekeeper in the county lord's yard.

Qingluan didn't know Yuzhu's lofty ambitions, so she tied a begonia red twined silk embroidered skirt, wore a soft lotus-colored short Confucian shirt, and covered it with a light green tulle shawl, and went out of the house with her mother.

The eldest princess and her daughter sat in a golden-roofed mulled carriage and walked on Shenwu Street.

The people in the streets were driven to the sides by the guards, still looking in the direction of the carriage with their necks straightened.

"Which noble family is that?"

"Which one else? I didn't see the emblem, it's from the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”

"Ah, no wonder, it looks like the princess is sitting in the golden chariot......"

"Who else is so arrogant and uses Jin Wuwei to open the way......"

The people don't understand that those soldiers are just the honor guards of the eldest princess's mansion, and they were given to the eldest princess by the emperor.

In an official sedan chair that avoided the frame of the eldest princess and was forced to stop, there was an old man in his fifties, with half-white hair and a resolute face.

"Unorthodox!" Fang Huai scolded with a cold face, his expression gloomy, "Sure enough, the world is declining, the Li royal generation is not as good as the generation, and sooner or later, this great Qian dynasty will fall into the hands of these ridiculous royal descendants!" ”

A married princess who has nothing to do actually uses Jin Wuwei to disturb the people to open the way, and only the Li royal family can act so rashly.

Mrs. Fang snorted coldly a few times, and couldn't help flashing Xiao Boyan's shadow in his mind.

Compared with the cowardly emperor who only knew how to write and paint in the palace, Xiao Zhen, the descendant of the Xiao family, was more suitable to be a wise monarch through the ages.

Xiaoyao Hou Mansion.

The moment Qingluan walked into the Xiao Mansion, he felt in a trance that it was the feeling of stepping in again from his previous life.

Her heart trembled slightly, and she looked indifferently at Xiao Boyan who greeted her.

Xiao Boyan was wearing a red brocade robe, a gold crown, and a leather belt inlaid with sapphire around his waist, his face was handsome and elegant, not at all like an iron-blooded general who had fought on the battlefield.

"Eldest Princess." Xiao Boyan saluted the eldest princess.

The eldest princess looked at Xiao Boyan with a complicated expression and sighed in her heart. What a good man, it's a pity that Ah Man doesn't like it.

Qingluan glanced at him coldly, then looked away. No matter how good the skin is, when he learns that this person is cold and ruthless to him, he can no longer mention the slightest affection.

Love and hate are mutual, if she had understood that he didn't love herself, she wouldn't have rushed to paste it, it was clear that this guy was about to leave herself, and she looked like she wanted to talk about it, so that she was deeply trapped in her previous life.

She Wei Qingluan has always had a clear love and hate, but no one mentioned it in her previous life, and she understood it too late, and now that she thinks about it, she can't blame herself for having no eyes.

"Jianing, let me take you to the back garden, Yan'er is also there." Xiao Boyan looked at Qingluan with his eyes and said softly.

Xiao Yan, Xiao Boyan's sister-in-law of the same mother, the youngest daughter of the county lord of Anping, is seventeen years old this year, and has already married Zhang Zhuo, the second son of Zhang Kaiwang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Qingluan knew that it was not good to give Xiao Boyan no face in front of many guests, which would embarrass his mother, so he nodded and agreed.

But he was holding back a fire in his heart, deliberately falling behind Xiao Boyan, and didn't say a word to him all the way.

The eldest princess was naturally led to the flower hall in the inner courtyard, and she didn't care that the county lord's cousin didn't show up to greet her, but Aunt Mei's eyes flashed with displeasure.

An angry county lord who has no father and mother doesn't take his own master seriously, the princess is really kind-hearted, even if she is such a woman who doesn't know how to be polite! It's no wonder that the county lord of his own family doesn't like the Xiao family.

With such a mother, what a good son can be taught!

Aunt Mei didn't dare to say these words to her master, but for the first time in her heart, she agreed with the willingness of the county lord of Jianing to withdraw from the marriage.

Xiao Boyan walked on a flower path, as if there was no one behind him, so he turned around and looked at Qingluan, who was slowly moving.

Qingluan saw that he couldn't stand still, so he also stood up, and raised his eyebrows: "What do you see!" ”

Xiao Boyan sighed in his heart and said softly: "Jianing, where did I offend you and make you so displeased." ”
