As the march of the army back to Beijing approached, the door of the Guogong Mansion was bustling and lively, but anyone who could have a relationship with the Guogong Mansion sent the lady of the back house to find an excuse to hand over the post.

Sheng Mingzhu had just finished breakfast, and heard the concierge come over to spread the word, saying that the lord of Ling'an had brought several noble ladies to visit him.

The lord of Ling'an County is under the knees of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is a fellow of the current holy mother, and is deeply favored by the emperor, so she naturally became the head of many noble daughters.

There was also such an incident in my memory in my previous life.

It's just that she was blind at the beginning, and she didn't see through Meng Zhaoyue's ambitions, leading her to know the nobles in Beijing one by one, and Meng Zhaoyue's methods were also good, but after a few meetings, she swam among the nobles and won everyone's praise.

At that time, she was happy for her for a while, she could be liked and recognized by so many people so quickly, and she didn't have to be alone in the house in the future.

Now that I think about it, my face hurts!

"Miss, hasn't the county lord of Ling'an been talking about a few persimmon trees in our backyard? It just so happens that the persimmons are red at this time, and the red is gratifying, so why don't you set up a seat and gather under the tree? ”

"That place is spacious, with soft cushions, snacks, fruit and tea, all familiar with each other, and there is no need to be too formal."

"Just look at the arrangement."

Sheng Mingzhu's expression was faint, she couldn't see any emotion, in her previous life, she was good friends with the lord of Ling'an, a large part of it was in Xie Yan's face, Xie Shizi of the eldest princess's mansion, gentle and handsome, elegant and dusty, is a Zhilan jade tree as bright as the moon in the sky, is the object of the love of the noble girl in Beijing, and she Sheng Mingzhu is no exception.

She always followed the excuse to find the county lord of Ling'an, and even tolerated the ruthlessness of the county lord of Ling'an again and again, just to let her say a few more good words about her in front of her brother.

Unfortunately, today is different.

What Meng Zhaoyue said on the mass grave put a thorn in her heart.

Jade looked at Sheng Mingzhu's mood was not high, and she was a little puzzled, since this injury, she always felt that their young lady had changed a lot, and her temperament was also a lot dull, she had been holding back for so long in the past, she should have been noisy and asking someone to play with her, and the lord of Ling'an should be happy when she came over!

However, there are a lot of things that should be prepared, and in any case, these are the most famous in Beijing, so don't be lazy. In the past, the lord of Ling'an would often bring people over to play, and for these things, Jade and Liuli have long been familiar with it.

The lord of Ling'an and his entourage came to the backyard in a mighty way, the girl in the cardamom years is the age when the buds are waiting to bloom like flowers, that is, the eyebrows and hairpins are not depicted, and it is also the brightest painting, not to mention that it is carefully dressed, the bead hairpin ring, the silk brocade, the fragrance is fragrant.

The subordinates who led the way did not dare to raise their heads, leading many nobles to the Xianggui Courtyard where the pearl was shengming.

The Lin family also received the news, but they didn't take it seriously, and ordered the maid in the backyard to watch more and not make any trouble.

Sheng Mingzhu was guarding the gate of the courtyard, and when she was far away, she heard the sound of everyone chattering, the first was the lord of Ling'an, and next to her was Qin Xianxian of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lin Xinrui of the Uncle's Mansion, and the few people who followed behind could not see their faces clearly, thinking that their status should not be bad.

"I heard that you were injured before, I still don't believe it, if my brother hadn't gone back and said it, maybe I wouldn't have known it now, why didn't you send someone to say anything about such a big thing?" When the county lord of Ling'an saw Sheng Mingzhu from afar, he quickened his pace and looked up and down around Sheng Mingzhu, seeing that she was tied with bandages on her legs and holding a hard board, and a trace of worry appeared on her white goose egg face, "Will there be sequelae?" If the girl's family hurts her leg and is lame, she will suffer. ”

The expression on the mellow goose egg face is simple and sincere, and the worry in his eyes is not false at all, that is, what he says is not very good.

Several noble ladies behind her had different expressions when they heard this, although they felt that the words of the county lord of Ling'an were not appropriate, but because of her identity, no one dared to question it.

Qin Xianxian next to him stood up and said with a smile: "What is the identity of Mingzhu, the fourth lady from the Guogong Mansion is really lame, and she is also a noble girl that others can't seek." ”

"Isn't it? Others can't envy it. "The daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette, Su Mengdie, is good friends with Qin Xianxian on weekdays.

Lin Xinrui snorted coldly, the malice in her eyes was obvious, she had never been on good terms with Sheng Mingzhu, if she hadn't been able to resist the invitation of the county lord of Ling'an this time, she would not have been able to come over.

This leg broke just right.

When the others heard this, they also chimed in, telling her to recuperate in peace and not worry...... As for how sincere and how fake it is, it is not known.

Sheng Mingzhu chuckled, as if she didn't care what they said, her eyes fell on Qin Xianxian's body, she had never taken her in her eyes in her previous life, but she was such a woman, and in the end, she actually married Xie Yan.

Qin Xian is extremely beautiful, but compared to her, it is still slightly inferior, today seems to have been carefully dressed, wearing a plain dress with fresh water and blue color, lining her figure more and more tall and slender, the skirt corner is embroidered with pear blossoms like clouds, the hair ornament is simple, only holding a peach hairpin, there is a fresh and elegant natural beauty, her appearance is not the best among many nobles, but she is very good at highlighting her advantages, relying on herself to read a few books, can read two poems, and on weekdays she is a pair of poems and books from the high.

Sheng Mingzhu only saw the plain color of the water on her body, and she had already looked away in disgust, one Meng Zhaoyue was enough for her to be disgusting, and she finally knocked her down, so there was another one.

Could it be that those sinister women are sinister? Do you like this kind of dress?

"It's just a few minor injuries, and I'm lame, so I might be going to disappoint everyone." Sheng Mingzhu smiled on his face, and he generally pushed back the words in a joking way.

There was no change on the face of the King of Ling'an County, as if what she said just now was just an unintentional remark, but Qin Xianxian's face suddenly became ugly.

"It's okay, what are you talking so for, what is disappointment? If the county lord and Sister Qin weren't worried about you, why didn't they come to see you with a bother eye, and be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs. ”

Lin Xinrui looked down on Sheng Mingzhu's arrogance the most, and couldn't help but choke with her.

Sheng Mingzhu seemed to have just noticed that there was such a person here, tilted his head, and said with a puzzled look on her face; "Who are you from? Why don't I remember that there is such a person as you by the county lord's side? ”

Sheng Mingzhu frowned, thought for a long time, turned his head and said to the county lord of Ling'an: "County lord, your status is noble, and you are also the most vulnerable to villains, and the people with bad intentions around you can't be guarded against, the eldest princess doesn't restrain you, but you should be careful yourself, don't want any cats and dogs to take with you, especially those who have no mouth and no handle, they don't have any education at first glance, and if you bring the county lord to it, you can't say that it will ruin the reputation of the county lord." ”
