Chapter 86: Candidates

After a long night, Song Yaoxian woke up in a deep dream, and there were two heavy green shadows under her eyes.

She hugged the warm and soft brocade quilt hard, and forcibly suppressed the panic and grievances in her heart, but there were still two tears crackling and falling, falling on the brocade quilt and making two points of darkness.

Simply, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed by herself, sat by the flower window and looked at the twilight sky, and was stunned.

Under the corridor, there was a sudden sound of two mothers-in-law talking in a whisper. "Yesterday, the six-girl in the second room got the old lady's red treasure head again, and I heard that the old lady liked it very much when she was young. Ouch, this six girls are amazing! ”

Another mother-in-law said, "Yes! The little girl who is only in her early teens will be more pleasing to people. In my opinion, the son of the second room will not be able to point to him, but he will point to this daughter! ”

As soon as the woman in the front heard this, she became energetic, and hurriedly asked: "I heard that the second master left the third master to run away alone in order to save his life?" The second room has been bad since then, and the old lady is disgusted? ”

The mother-in-law who was questioned had obviously been in the house for some years, and she knew a lot more than the other party, so she lowered her voice and said: "My son is favored, it is the same in any house, but our third master is not a spoiled and boundless gentleman, it is like a Wenqu star in the sky!" Since childhood, he has been a good seedling of reading! It is very important to the house, and it is raised according to the pillars of the Song family! It's a pity that he is a weak scholar in the end. If it weren't for the old lady's thoughts, let the third master go out to practice, it wouldn't have been worse! ”

"Is it really bad bandits? Or ......"

"Be quiet!" The woman hurriedly made a silent gesture, "You can't say this!" We are the people of the big house, the uncle is okay when he hears it, if it reaches the ears of the lady, he will have to peel off a layer of our skin! ”

The questioning mother-in-law was startled, opened her mouth, and swallowed back the words in her throat.

Seeing her frightened like this, the other party smiled and said, "However, if you think about it, so many people died back then, but the second master lived, isn't it strange and strange?" Therefore, there are indeed many people who speculate that it was the uncle's hand that saved the second master's life with love...... But whether it is or not, the third master is gone. After the old lady carried the body of the third master back and collected it, she was fated and was not allowed to mention the matter again. It's been more than ten years, and the taboo in the house about this matter has gradually faded. ”

"I heard that the Song family has been supported by the Queen Mother all these years, and the eldest and second masters can't count on it at all?"

"Yes, at that time, our aunt and grandmother were still Concubine Song Xian, and later became the queen, and the Song family had this support, and the old lady's heart gradually calmed down."

"However, this can't be blamed on the second master, why can't the old lady look down on the second room?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because the second master failed to save the third master. If the second master was also gone at that time, maybe the second room would be more prosperous now. The mother-in-law pursed her lips and sighed: "In the past, the second master and his wife were two, and it was rare to see even the old lady!" Later, there were six girls in the second room, and it gradually got better! ”

"No, these six girls' clever mouths, I really don't know how they look, that. What my son said is better than anyone like me who has cut half into the loess. ”

"Shhhh You don't want to talk nonsense, what do you compare with the six girls. Not to mention comparison, even those who come forward to serve are not qualified! The woman glared at the other party with a smile, and then lowered her voice and said, "If you want me to say, the girls in our house, except for the eldest girl, are the six girls who win the heart of the old lady the most." The four girls all had to pull aside. ”

"The fourth girl is the eldest girl's own sister, why do you have to step aside?"

"The eldest girl is the eldest daughter of the long house, and her status is one level higher, and she will be sent to the palace to be the queen in the future! Although the fourth girl is also the daughter of the long house, relatively speaking, she is not much different from other concubines in the house. I see, if it weren't for the young age of the sixth girl, the old lady would definitely give her to the prince of Du, and still be able to turn the fourth girl? ”

"I looked, the fourth girl's temperament followed the uncle." When the woman heard this news, she was very excited, and she was a little confused for a while: "Although people are beautiful, their temperament is too soft, and they have to cry at every turn, no wonder the elders don't hurt." The old lady is old, and she likes those talking and happy Nizi. ”

Song Yaoxian, who was under the attic window in the house, had a white face, and when she heard this, she couldn't even hold the teacup in her hand, and fell to the ground with a 'pop' and fell to pieces.

The two mothers-in-law outside were so frightened that they trembled, and it happened that Danyun led a group of little girls back with their washing things, and heard the next two sentences. Immediately said angrily: "Okay, you two don't know what to do, eat inside and chew the girl's tongue, and die!" ”

The two mothers-in-law immediately accused themselves and ran away.

Qingyun also came back with a group of little girls to get breakfast, saw the puffing light clouds, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Danyun explained a few words angrily, and then said: "Hurry up and go in to see the girl, I'm afraid I heard it." ”

The two of them pushed the door in lightly, and saw Song Yaoxian's eyes crying like walnuts, and there were broken porcelain pieces under his feet. ”

The two of them were relieved to see that she was not injured by broken porcelain.

Qingyun quietly walked to her side, brought warm water, and knew that what she cared about most in her heart was Du Wangye, so she persuaded: "Why should the girl suffer herself, Du Wangye's family affairs can't be his own master, those are just the girl's conjectures, where did things come to this point?" ”

All the expectations in Song Yaoxian's heart came to naught under the conversation she heard unexpectedly and the blow she received last night. She reluctantly took a sip of warm water to moisten her lips, then pushed it away, and asked, "Sister must have gotten up at this hour?" ”

"The eldest girl has always gotten up early, and she must have had breakfast at this time, and went to Madame to say goodbye."

Song Yaoxian was silent for a moment when she heard this, she was really worse than her eldest sister. She said, "Serve me to wash up, and I'll talk to my big sister in a while." ”

The autumn sky is high and vast, clear and bright.

When Ji Erlan came back from the women's school, Yuexi took Ji Tianjiao's letter and handed it to her. She took a cursory look at it and said, "Give this letter to Ji Rujun and Lu Lintel in its original form." ”

Yuexi nodded in agreement, and said: "This big girl just said a few words over and over, it was useless to write to the master, and I thought of my sister and maidservant again." The girl said, can the three girls and the green frieze help her? ”

Ji Erlan said with a smile: "Big sister is willing to say everything like this, so it is easy to deal with, if she is the same as Ji Rujun, it will not be easy to do." Moreover, no matter whether Ji Rujun and Lu Lintel can help or not. It's almost time for the big sister to come back. ”

Yuexi let out a soft 'huh' in confusion and asked, "Why?" ”

"Ruan Ning has been hit by the autumn and will soon go to Beijing. The Ruan family's business became bigger and bigger, so they took this opportunity to move their family to the capital. Ji Erlan suddenly felt that something interesting would happen in the near future, so he smiled and said: "Ruan Ning and Ji Tianjiao have a marriage contract, and there will definitely be contacts between the Ruan family and our mansion at that time. ”

At the right time in the night, Ji Erlan once again entered the Duwang Mansion with the moon's breath.

Lei Cheng stood in the distance and stared at the two of them swaggering down from the wall, hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to say, "Miss Ji, the prince is eating in the flower hall......

"Well, lead the way." Ji Erlan said lightly.

Lei Cheng was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to say that he would report it first. But seeing that Ji Erlan's voice fell, he had already walked forward, and the direction was accurate, so he had to follow quickly. I wondered in my heart, when did she become so familiar with the palace?

In the flower hall, the king of Du is holding a green jade porcelain bowl in his left hand, holding it in his right hand, and is quietly and leisurely using his meal.

Lei Ze was guarding the side, and when he saw several figures coming over from outside the hall, he immediately said, "Lord Wang, Miss Ji is here." ”

Yang Zhen stretched out his hand with chopsticks, looked up, and saw Ji Erlan coming straight to the flower hall step by step, Lei Cheng followed her and trotted all the way, with a slight smile in his eyes, and said to Lei Ze: "Add a pair of chopsticks." ”

Lei Ze subconsciously agreed, had already taken a step, and then paused, looked back at his master with a stunned face, and added a pair of dishes and chopsticks?

Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What?" You can't find where the chopsticks are? ”

Razor was so frightened that he immediately jumped to his feet.

Ji Erlan entered the flower hall and said with a smile: "The prince is eating so late?" ”

She looked down at his table, a plate of roasted shrimp roe, a plate of crab roe crisp, a rouge goose breast, and a few jasper shrimp rolls. There is also a drawer of fish and dragon bags. She asked with a smile: "It turns out that the prince likes to eat some 'shrimp soldiers and crab generals'?" ”

Yang Zhen smiled at her description. "Shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"

"Fish, shrimp, crab everything, not shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Ji Erlan followed the direction of Yang Zhen's finger and sat opposite him, Lei Ze took the dishes and chopsticks back at this time, handed them to Ji Erlan, and greeted: "Miss Ji!" ”

Yang Wei looked at Lei Ze with a flattering look, and then looked at the bowl he handed over, which was the same green jade porcelain bowl as himself, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise high. He was a little suspicious that if Razor had a tail, he would be waging at this point.

Ji Erlan said: "I have already eaten it. ”

Yang Wei remembered the appearance of her mouth full of oil stars at the market last night, so he pointed to a jasper shrimp roll in front of him and said, "You can taste it, the taste is slightly different from the taste outside." It was the chef I brought back from Chaozhou, where there are a lot of fish and shrimp, and this kind of dish is better than the chef near the capital. ”

When Ji Erlan heard him say this, he reached out and picked up the chopsticks very naturally, and grabbed a shrimp roll. Bian said: "I have an idea about the selection of the princess mentioned by the prince last time, but I don't know what the prince thinks. ”
