"What about Lord Li? Why don't you talk to me when you leave? ”

Liu Pingle saw that no one paid attention to her, so he chased and asked, this time Liu Yongxu also reacted, patted his thigh and said: "Oh, I forgot about this person, he is gone?" ”

Yu Yuanyuan nodded: "Yes, I'll leave after eating." ”

Liu Yongxu stroked his beard and wondered: "He is the person sent by Xu Qiqi, how can he be so easy to deal with?" After a long silence, he turned his face and instructed everyone, "In the future, Xu Qiqi will send someone over, I don't care how you feel about other colleagues, but if he sends someone to ask, you must be consistent with the outside world, and you are not allowed to say anything to them, you know?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then nodded silently: "Got it." ”

In the second half of the day, Liu Yongxu called everyone to the study to inquire individually, the main question was the night when Zhang Lianfeng counted the Lu, when everyone left, and also called the steward to ask, but every time the steward went to the afternoon, he left first if he was generally fine, and everyone in the Dibao Mansion also had the key to the door in their hands, and they could not be judged simply by who left last.

So in the evening, there were no clues, and everyone in the Dibao Mansion left one by one.

An Ge and Liu Pingle went back to their residence, both of them were thinking about things, and they didn't speak until they finished taking a bath and lay down on the bed, Liu Pingle couldn't help but ask: "An Ge, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Well......" An Ge lamented, "I think I was impulsive, and I made the newspaper uneasy for a dozen or twenty taels of silver, and I don't know why the people in the newspaper next door also heard it...... Otherwise, I would have gone into the palace to see the queen mother, explain to her that all this was a misunderstanding, and ask her to order the people who called the court newspaper to stop checking again...... If you check it again, it's really not good for the entire mansion. ”

"Why don't you check? Why should you suffer? There was no light in the room, and it was dark, but even though he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, An Ge could imagine the indignant expression on Liu Pingle's face at this time.

"When I used to be at home, there were more than 100 people in Liufu, big and small, my mother was in charge alone, up and down were in good order, which little maid was deducted silver, and everyone who went down to track down had to be implicated, sometimes my mother had to go to my father to ask for punishment in front of him, and the Di Bao Mansion was still in chaos with these few people, if it wasn't checked, this hole might get bigger and bigger in the future!" Liu Pingle snorted coldly, "Why do you want to suffer a loss to settle things?" ”

"......" Ange had heard that Liu Pingle was the only concubine in Liufu, and she had no brothers and sisters or anything, she thought that the master of Liu Pingle's family was also Master Liu, Mrs. Liu and Liu Pingle......

"In my opinion, there is nothing to check," Liu Ping was happy to see that An Ge didn't speak, and said, "The person who has been dissatisfied, and the person who has been dissatisfied, must be that Guo Caiping, she must be jealous of you taking so much money, so she sneaked back in the middle of the night to change your fortune." ”

An Ge thought about it carefully and said noncommittally: "Then I'll observe and observe...... By the way, what are you worried about today? Is that Mr. Li? ”

"Hmm......" Liu Pingle suddenly didn't see Fang Cai's pungency, his voice was much softer, and said, "More than two months ago, he went to visit my father at my house, I saw him once, he was kind and elegant, I ...... I'm a little interested in him. And Do you know An Ge, he is a new science tanhua, he took a tanhua at such a young age, what a capable person! I also found out from my father that he worked in the Dibao Mansion, so I pestered my father to beg Master Liu to give me a position too. But...... I don't think he's interested in me today. ”

Well...... Li Ling does have the ability, many people can't pass the exam for more than ten or twenty years, he became a tanhualang at one time, even if he marries a princess, he can marry it. Although his position is not high now, as long as he works hard...... No, he is so young to explore flowers in high school, obviously he has a talent that others can't match, so not to mention working hard, as long as he doesn't float, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Seeing that she seemed a little lost, An Ge hurriedly comforted: "I heard Master Liu say that this matter will not be easily solved, that Li Gongzi may come to our mansion in the future, you can dress up in the next few days, wear some beautiful clothes, and talk to him more...... If Li Gongzi takes a fancy to you at a glance today, and then harasses you regardless of etiquette, then he is not a good man! ”

Liu Pingle pondered for a moment, and said with a "hmm": "What you said makes sense, I will call Xing'er to come over tomorrow to serve me personally and put on makeup for me, and I can't do it myself." After a pause, he got up again, got out of bed and touched An Ge's bedside, held her hand three or two times, and said, "An Ge, then you must not go to the queen to complain, if it is really like what you just said, the queen came forward to solve this matter, and Li Gongzi will not come in the future......"

"......" An Ge is really a little embarrassed, she is afraid that further investigation will really affect Liu Yongxu's career, she doesn't want to hurt Liu Yongxu, so she just said that she went to the queen to intercede, but Liu Pingle is also her best friend after coming to Beijing, how can she be embarrassed to refuse her request?

After a few breaths of silence, An Ge still couldn't bear it, and responded: "Good ......" As for Liu Yongxu, if it really affects him, it's a big deal that he will take all the charges, protect him well, and repay the kindness of appreciation.

Liu Pingle smiled and went back to his bed to lie down, and muttered to An Ge: "An Ge, you are so good, my father loves me so much, he also wants to say that I am a girl who is too active and shameless, not only do you not talk about me, but also help me, and you are both companion and free, and when I get married to Li Gongzi in the future, I will definitely ask my child to recognize you as a godmother......"

An Ge didn't say anything, just listened with a smile on his face, and the two fell asleep unconsciously.

After dawn the next day, An Ge opened his eyes and saw the maid who often came to wash Liu Pingle's clothes in front of the dressing mirror to put on Liu Pingle's makeup.

Liu Pingle noticed from the mirror that An Ge got out of bed, and said busily: "An Ge, you don't have to wait for me today, I'll be over later." ”

"Oh......"

An Ge took a curious look, when she was in Yangzhou before, there were not many opportunities to put on makeup, but when she went to the Beijing draft first, many of the show girls in her company had to put on big makeup almost every day, so she also knew something...... Liu Pingle today seems to be called wine smudge makeup, there is a saying that "the thick one is the wine smudge makeup, the shallow one is the peach blossom makeup, the thin one is applied, and the powder is covered with it, which is the Feixia makeup." "Wine smudge makeup is the thickest makeup in red makeup, and An Ge thinks that Liu Pingle has a good foundation, so there is no need to wear such heavy makeup...... But maybe the thick one is more eye-catching?

Anyway, she was just a layman, and she didn't say anything, and after washing up, she went to Di Bao Mansion, and spent some time eating some steamed buns on the way, and by the time she arrived at Di Bao Mansion, many people had already arrived first.

An Ge noticed that Guo Caiping also wore makeup, but it was not as rich as usual, only a thin layer of powder was applied, and she changed into a red brocade mattress embroidered with peach blossoms, and a moon and white cloud pattern satin skirt...... Guo Caiping has never worn such good materials on weekdays.

Not only An Ge noticed it, but Yu Yuanyuan also noticed it, and quipped: "Cai Ping, you are so red today, it's really festive, is there something good happening?" ”

Guo Caiping replied angrily: "What good things can happen to me?" You wear red, green, and green every day, and I can't wear it? Saying these things ruins my reputation! Yuanyuan, you really look like a matchmaker who talks everywhere every day! ”

Yu Yuanyuan looked at her in surprise: "I...... I'll just say it casually, and besides, although I usually like to be a matchmaker, there is still a difference between a matchmaker and a matchmaker......"

An Ge held up the book and hid the sneer on his face...... Speaking of nonsense, who can compare to you Guo Caiping in this mansion? Rumors about her and Lord Liu were spread outside, but fortunately, no one believed it, and he didn't bother to care.

After a while, Liu Pingle, who was wearing big makeup, also came in, and as soon as she came in, she attracted everyone's attention, and even Yi Yinhao, who usually doesn't speak, looked brighter...... Yu Yuanyuan was the first to call out: "Pingle, what are you going to do today?" Wearing such heavy makeup? ”

Because Liu Pingle's face was so bright with makeup, she couldn't see her blushing at the moment, she shyly hammered Yu Yuanyuan and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, don't make fun of me!" ”

Yu Yuanyuan raised the handkerchief to cover his mouth, and was about to continue to joke with her, when the steward led Li Ling in again, Li Ling stood at the door of the side hall and looked inside, and saw that it was full of women, so he stopped and said to the steward politely: "Since Lord Liu has not arrived yet, then I will wait for him in the courtyard for a while, there are all female dependents inside, I am afraid it will be inconvenient for me to go in." ”

The steward hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, all of us adults here are reading sage books, and this broad daylight, it's nothing to talk together with the door open, Lord Liu has explained, saying that he is going to enter the palace today, so if Lord Li comes, he will go to the side hall to sit first." ”

Li Ling stopped being polite and entered the side hall.

He was about to find an empty seat to sit down, so Liu Pingle got up and greeted: "Li Gongzi, come and sit here, the light is good here, it just so happens that I want to ask you for some articles." ”

Li Ling smiled slightly, and was about to go over, Guo Caiping got up again and said, "Li Gongzi, on a hot day, what are you doing sitting under the window and under the sun?" Let's do it here. As he spoke, he pushed the stool in front of him directly.

Li Ling was a little embarrassed...... He was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a while, he bypassed the stool, but he didn't go to Liu Pingle's side, and sat directly down the aisle from Guo Caiping, and then patted the stool handed out by Guo Caiping and said to Liu Pingle: "Pingle, you can come and sit too." ”

An Ge watched from the sidelines until now, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, this Li Ling is really powerful, and he has taken care of anyone's face.

Although Liu Pingle was not very happy, but the moment of hesitation passed, at this time Guo Caiping began to behave again, looking at Liu Pingle's face and said in surprise: "Pingle, your makeup is so beautiful today, I really envy you for having time to make up early in the morning, I have to rush to Ying Mao every day, and I came over with a bare face, look at my face, compared with you, it is really overshadowed......
