"I don't believe that there are seamless walls in this world, and the Lu family is clearly guarding against me. I really didn't see that she could have such a mind. Zhong Xiaoniang's face turned blue.

"I heard that it was the idea given by the second girl, and the lady did not agree with it at the time, but as soon as the second girl walked on the front foot, she did so on the back foot."

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she was furious, and slapped her palm on the desk, and the teacup on the desk was shaken and gurgled, and she said angrily: "This prodigal hoof is bad for me." Now, the head of the family's heart is listening to Xue Pavilion, it's time to let Su Shuyan be cheap. The people came out and added to the fire. ”

The two were chatting when Sima Daiyuan suddenly broke in.

When Zhong Xiaoniang saw her coming, she pretended to be indifferent and put the teacup on the table in her hand.

Sima Daiyuan walked up to her, sat down beside her, and began to crackle: "Auntie, how can I listen to those maids in the courtyard chattering that the Yufu side will send a dowry to the door the day after tomorrow?" Didn't you say there must be a way to stop such a relationship? ”

"Grandma, look at you like this, where do you look like a lady. Joy and anger are invisible, don't you understand such a simple truth? ”

"Auntie, don't divert the topic and answer my question." The color of anxiety is overflowing.

"Grandma, A-Niang has tried her best, but she can only take one step at a time."

"Take it one step at a time? Does that mean that marriage is a sure thing? ”

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she nodded slightly and was silent.

"In that case, do you still have the leisure to drink tea?" Sima Daiyuan glanced at her, her face full of disdain.

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she glanced at the teacup in her hand, and then had no intention of drinking tea, so she put the teacup on the desk and said, "Mother Wen, the tea is cold, let's withdraw it!" ”

Sima Daiyuan stood up from the soft couch and wandered around the room twice, looking thoughtful. Then, he stopped violently, sat back on the soft couch, and said in a low voice: "A-Niang, since this is the case, then the daughter will go out in person!" I want to see how dare Yu Mochu dare to be my Sima Dai's pillow person. ”

"You?" Zhong Xiaoniang looked at Sima Daiyuan with suspicious eyes, Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Don't mess around, if you make any trouble, your father won't spare you." ”

Sima Daiyuan held Zhong Xiaoniang's hand, patted the back of her hand twice and said, "Ah Niang, if you put your heart back in your stomach, your father will never know, I want Yu Mochu to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and I can't say anything about my suffering." ”

"Really? What's the solution? Speaking of which, A-Niang will analyze and consider it for you. ”

Sima Dai pursed her lower lips, hesitated for a moment, and leaned into Zhong Xiaoniang's ear to quietly inform her of the plan.

After that, Zhong Xiaoniang frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and said, "In case ......"

"A-Niang, there is no case, you can just set up the carriage for your daughter tomorrow." Sima Daiyuan forcibly interrupted Zhong Xiaoniang's words and didn't let her say more.

After that, she picked up a piece of candied fruit on the table and put it in her mouth, muttering "It's so sweet" in her mouth, and swaggered away with her eyebrows.

Zhong Xiaoniang was still preoccupied and looked restless. After a long time, she instructed Mother Wen, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Mother Wen, early tomorrow morning, you prepare a carriage for the eldest girl." ”

Mother Wen was just about to respond, but she added: "Two, prepare two." ”

Mother Wen responded and didn't ask much.

The next day, the sky was not good, it was drizzling and there was a light breeze, and the weather that had just warmed up became a little chilly again.

On a rainy day, it was supposed to be a guest day. Sima Guansheng originally thought that Old Madam Ling would stay and postpone her return to Luoyang, but the result was beyond her expectations.

Early in the morning, Old Madam Ling sent someone to urge her to prepare quickly, so as not to miss the time to set off.

Looking at the foggy outside the window, Ling's mother, who was helping her with her makeup, said, "Girl, why don't you wait for the rain to stop before leaving?" ”

Sima Guansheng's gaze moved from the bronze mirror to the window, and he said in a low voice: "It's drizzling, don't get in the way." Leave early and leave late, you have to leave sooner or later, and if you return to Luoyang one day earlier, you will find Cui's mother one day earlier. ”

When Mother Ling heard this, she sighed, said no more, and continued to comb her green silk with a peach wood comb.

Bihua packed up on the side, came lightly, and when she returned, it was like moving. Big bags and small bags, piled up.

The gold and silver jewelry, brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes that Mrs. Ling prepared for her were all brought back to Luoyang. She had no reason to refuse, besides, if she didn't take it away, she would only have to stay here to get moldy, if she let Old Madam Ling see it, see things and think about people, it would affect Old Madam Ling's mood.

After dressing up, packing up, and having breakfast, Old Madam Ling and her maids and daughters-in-law sent the four of them to the door of Ling's mansion.

Ling Wencheng also came with his wife to send it, and at the gate of Ling's mansion, they exchanged parting words.

After some reluctance, two richly decorated carriages marched to the door. Behind the carriage were two pairs of soldiers in armor, and there were many maids and women waiting next to the carriage.

Liu Yuwan and Feng Bozhong got out of the carriage, and the maid next to the carriage held a colorful oil-paper umbrella for them and walked towards the door of the Ling Mansion.

Oh, my God! Why are they again, it's really a bad scenery, and the good mood of returning to Luoyang has been disturbed by them.

Old Madam Ling and her entourage hurriedly stepped forward to meet them, and Sima Guansheng was forced to be helpless, so he could only reluctantly follow.

After each of them saluted, Old Madam Ling smiled and said, "County Lord, this is the old woman's handwritten letter, and when the time comes, you will hand it over to the old woman's useless son-in-law." ”

My grandmother is really, why should I let an outsider hand over the letter to my father, just give it to me. Seeing this, Sima Guansheng muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart.

Liu Yuwan put the letter away, and said with a smile: "Let the old lady bother." With that, she turned back to the servants waiting by the carriage and shouted, "Come on, don't put Miss Sima's clothes into the carriage yet." ”

Those servants were ordered to come forward and take the burden from Bihua and Zhengwu.

Sima Guansheng didn't understand what it meant, frowned slightly, leaned over to Old Madam Ling's side, took Old Madam Ling's arm and asked in a low voice, "Grandmother, what is this doing?" ”

"Sheng'er, you are in a hurry alone, how can I rest assured, it just so happens that the county lord and Bo Zhong are also returning to Luoyang, so I will make my own decision and let you go with the county lord and them, and there will be more or less people to take care of them on the road." Old Madam Ling grabbed Sima Guansheng's hand and said with a smile.

Sima Guansheng stretched out his jade hand to the outside of the oil-paper umbrella, let the drizzle fall on the palm of his hand, and said a little far-fetched: "Grandmother, it's raining, why don't you stay with you for a few more days, let the county lord and the prince take the first step!" ”

Old Madam Ling didn't see her reluctance, patted her jade hand and said with a smile: "Silly child, what nonsense, how can the county lord's carriage be afraid of this drizzle." ”

Liu Yuwan stepped forward and grabbed Sima Guansheng's hand, and also echoed: "Miss Guansheng, you can rest assured, if it rains again, we can find an inn to rest on the way." "There's no county lord at all.,Very approachable.,Full of amiable smile.。

Sima Guansheng has never seen any big names in this life, but she has seen it in her previous life. Most of those high-ranking nobles are arrogant, and even if they are not, they are strict and fierce, trying not to lower their figures.

As the saying goes: Reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

She looked at Liu Yuwan's smiling face, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

What's worse is that the rain suddenly stopped, and even God was playing tricks on her.

"Mother, the rain has stopped." Feng Bozhong suddenly stepped forward and said, he interrupted a few people to speak.

The maids and women who were in charge of holding the umbrella stretched out their hands to make sure that it was not raining again, and then took back the oil-paper umbrella in their hands.

Old Madam Ling and Liu Yuwan looked at each other and smiled, Liu Yuwan looked at Sima Wansheng with a smile, and said meaningfully: "It seems that it is the beauty of heaven, and it is destined that Miss Wansheng will walk with us, and fate is destined." Someone, please Miss Sima to get into the carriage. ”

Liu Yuwan no longer gave Sima Wansheng a chance to refuse, and turned around and gave stern orders to the maids behind him.

The maids got the order and stepped forward to respectfully invite Sima Guansheng to get into the car.

Sima Guansheng looked at Old Madam Ling helplessly, and Old Madam Ling smiled and nodded to her, signaling her to do so.

She is simply dumb and eats coptis, and she can't tell if she has bitterness. She said goodbye to Old Madam Ling, bit her lower lip, frowned slightly, and under the guidance of the maids, she walked towards the carriage helplessly.

Liu Yuwan saw her heading towards the carriage, said goodbye to Old Madam Ling, and followed her in the direction of the carriage.

Walking to the carriage, the maids neatly placed the stool and helped her into the carriage.

Feng Bozhong's face was filled with a happy smile, and he stepped on the bench in a panic, and wanted to get into the carriage.

Seeing this, Liu Yuwan hurriedly stopped, "Zhong'er! ”

Feng Bozhong turned around suspiciously, "Mother, what else do you have to tell your son?" ”

"How can you be so rude?" Liu Yuwan said sternly, casting her eyes on the other carriage and motioning for him to go to the other carriage.

Feng Bozhong suddenly realized, hurriedly stepped back from the seat, bowed down and thanked Liu Yuwan: "Thank you mother for your clear statement!" With that, he headed for another carriage.

Liu Yuwan got into the carriage and sat in the same carriage with Sima Guansheng, and after she gave orders, the carriage began to drive slowly into the distance.

The carriage of the county lord's family is different, not only is it three horses, but the carriage is also very spacious. The furnishings inside are extremely luxurious, a small case with yellow flowers and wood carvings, some pastries on the table, and a set of purple and gold tea sets.

The soft seat next to the desk is also embroidered with brocade, and there is a heavy warm mink fur next to it.

Although the carriage was comfortable, Sima Guansheng felt like sitting on a needle carpet, and she felt particularly embarrassed to be in the same car with the county lord.

An old woman sat on her knees beside the desk, holding a basin of hot water in her hand.

Liu Yuwan put her jade hand into the basin to wash it, and said with a smile: "Miss Wansheng......"

"The county lord can call the little girl Guan Sheng."

"Okay, then I'll be out of sight. Guan Sheng, can you be interested in tasting my clumsy tea ceremony. At this moment, she was already holding the tea set on the table and began to make tea.

There are many small plates on the table, and there are various kinds of tea leaves in the plates. Although the carriage was bumpy, she was very happy.

Mother Wen helped hold the kettle on the charcoal stove, for fear that the water in the teapot would splash out if she was not careful.

"The county lord laughed, it was the honor of the little girl to be able to taste the tea made by the county lord himself."

Liu Yuwan stopped squeaking and seriously pounded those cups and saucers.

Sima Guansheng watched the county lord make tea nervously, clasped his hands, and seemed a little nervous.
