In Weiwei Mansion, the housekeeper brought the gift sent back by Xiao Rongyue to Zhao Wan: "Mrs. Xiao over there said that she wanted to thank the lady for the tents she sent, and she asked her to pick them up and send them." ”

Mother Zhong opened the box and saw two pieces of benzoin inside, and a few pieces of clothing were wrapped next to them, and frowned in disgust: "Sure enough, it is a merchant who can't be on the table, and it is not good to inquire about other people's preferences, so I picked and sent them at random." ”

"When did the lady use the spices outside, the incense in the room was made by the lady herself."

Zhao Wan frowned, and asked people to open the bag of clothing, she naturally didn't look down on the clothes sent by Xiao Rongyue, but she was curious about what kind of clothes this lady Xiao would pick for her as a return gift.

But she didn't care that when she saw the clothes in the baggage, she changed from time to time, and even her face turned blue, and she raised her voice: "What is this?" She sent it to you! ”

Mother Zhong was startled, looked over, and saw the jade brocade of the lotus-colored curly grass pomegranate flower exposed inside, and turned it over suspiciously, but she didn't see anything wrong, so she had to say: "This clothing is still smooth and soft to the touch, but the pattern is too old-fashioned, it is already fashionable in the Ming Dynasty, how can anyone still use this style now." ”

But when she looked at Zhao Wan, she was shocked, at this time Zhao Wan stared at the box of incense and a few pieces of clothing, her face was terrifyingly white, she sat on the couch for a long time and couldn't speak, as if she had seen a ghost, and hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong with the lady?" What's wrong with the fabric? ”

Zhao Wan slowly came back to her soul and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Take it all, quickly!" ”

Mother Zhong hurriedly asked people to take all these down, and brought her hot tea, she ate two bites before she calmed down, but she didn't want to say more to Mother Zhong, so she waved her hand and sent them down.

It wasn't until the room was quiet and she was the only one left that she let out a breath and leaned softly on the table, stunned.

It was the twelfth year of Ming Cheng, she and Dou Mi were both fourteen years old, the seventh year of raising the queen, the first emperor and the queen have been called the two saints in the court, but the relationship between husband and wife is becoming weaker and weaker, the first emperor is not in good health, and everything in the court is the queen's decision, but Sima Song, Gu Huizhi and other old ministers are more and more resistant to the queen's interference in the affairs of the court, and secretly support Chen Guifei, for a while, the harem of the former dynasty is turbulent.

She grew up next to the queen, and the Qin family is the queen's kinship, and the grandmother was afraid that she would be involved in the palace fight, thinking that she would set a family affair for her earlier, and she could get out of the palace as soon as possible to marry safely, so she wanted to choose a marriage for her.

It's just that at that time, her grandfather was not a Wei Wei, just a Zhongsan doctor who led the five grades of leisure, even if he was a family member, he was just an ordinary official Langjun who was the right person, and her grandfather was not born in the noble mansion, and the clan refused to marry her family because of the queen, so she chose to go to the grandmother's fancy was the young Yin Yao family of Jingzhao Mansion.

But she wouldn't.

She entered the Daming Palace since she was a child, raised by the queen's side, and what she eats and uses is top-notch, how can she endure her marrying into the Shaoyin family of Jingzhao Mansion, which is only a four-grade grade, and bows her head to the ladies and ladies who have flattered her in the past. Since the empress praised her for her intelligence, saying that she has a decisive temperament and is thoughtful, how can such a look and talent be a daughter-in-law in Shaoyin's mansion just to bow her head!

After all, when A-Niang entered the palace, she tried her best to stop it, dragged it and didn't let her mention family affairs, and she paid careful attention to it for a long time, and picked the prince of the British Mansion.

The British Mansion is the honorable of Gaozu when he founded the country, and the old British Duke followed Emperor Taizong to fight in the south and the north, relying on the merits of the war, and later supported the first emperor to ascend the throne, so when many noble mansions were gradually declining, the British Mansion was becoming more and more prosperous, and the prince Zhang Liang was also outstanding, and the first emperor was quite appreciative, and he was rewarded several times, and the future is promising.

It's just that at that time, the British government was already going to discuss marriage with the Maoguo Mansion, and the two families were very suitable for marriage, and even the queen heard about it, and said it to them as a happy event.

How could she give up so willingly, gritted her teeth and was ruthless, let people inquire about the news, I heard that the two families were going to see each other at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, she found a reason at the palace banquet, and asked Dou Mi to help her cover up, and she went to the Jingui Guilin behind the Ziyun Tower, and grabbed the front of the Maoguo Mansion.

It wasn't until she held the small seal given by Zhang Liang in her hand and watched him accept her handkerchief that she covered her fluttering heart and hurried back to Ziyun Tower.

Later, it was the anger of the Maoguo Mansion, the surprise of the British Mansion, and the helplessness of Zhang Liang, she just lowered her head and said to Dou Mi aggrievedly, she didn't know why it became like this, how could she have thought that her new dress was so similar to the six ladies of the Maoguo Mansion, the jade brocade of the curly grass pomegranate flower is the fashionable pattern of Chang'an, no one can find out what is wrong with her, everything can only be blamed on too much coincidence, so that the British prince recognized the wrong person, and then he could only make the mistake of this marriage.

The night before the queen issued the edict to give the marriage, she was summoned to the greenhouse hall, but she didn't say a word, just let her kneel in the palace for two hours, she went back and fell ill, even if she begged Dou Mi to intercede with the queen, she still couldn't sleep peacefully every night, and often woke up from nightmares, even if she got the edict of marriage, she didn't dare to rejoice, or Dou Mi begged benzoin from the Shanggong Bureau, so that she could close her eyes and sleep for a while.

She has long stopped recalling these past events, and they have been sealed for many years, if she hadn't just seen the familiar clothes and fragrances, how could she think of them again, and she shouldn't have remembered them, those things should have been forgotten long ago.

But why did Xiao Rongyue send these two things, is it difficult...... No, these things have been going on for a long time, now she is the lady of the Weiwei Mansion, and she is going to marry to the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, the British Mansion has also fallen, Zhang Liang has been dead for many years, Dou Mi is also dead, and the six ladies of the Maoguo Mansion have long been married to Jiangnan, who will remember this, she is just a businesswoman from Jiangning Mansion who came to Chang'an, and it is impossible to know what is going on.

But how did she send these two things by chance? Is it really a coincidence?

Zhao Wan thought of the two return gifts sent at this time, as disgusting as swallowing a fly, like a fish in her throat, her heart was always irritable, and she sat alone in the room for more than half an hour before calling Mother Zhong over: "Calculate that the wedding date of Cheng Wulang and Xiao Niangzi is approaching, and it won't be long before it will be time to add a box, you ask someone to send a message to Xiao Niangzi, just say that although I have a late relationship with her, it can be regarded as a sight at first sight, and I will definitely go over in person on the day of adding the box." ”

If she was just close to Xiao Rongyue before, at this moment, she wants to take a good look at this merchant girl and see if all this is a coincidence.
