"Alas, I'm glad you posted on me, otherwise I would have been exhausted." Li Yue took the tea from the table and drank several sips in a row.

"What's going on, it's like I've been out there for days and nights." Shen Li hurriedly picked up the teapot and refilled it for her personally, and moved the dim sum aside again.

"It's not all kinds of banquets, you look at my face, I'm almost smiling. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the winter solstice, and the New Year, I am annoyed. Lou Yue picked up the small potato cakes and ate them one by one, and sighed heavily.

"You are in the palace, and there is only one elder above the prince, but you still don't go home in the military camp for eight lifetimes, how do you know the pain of those of us who are daughters-in-law in ordinary people. My mother-in-law is quite compassionate, she didn't ask me to go to her early every morning to set up rules, you didn't see Wei'er, you are more miserable than me. ”

"Vier?"

"It's Grandma Qiusan, Zhongyuan's daughter-in-law." Li Yue finished eating the snacks in his hand, wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief, and took another sip of tea, and then breathed a comfortable sigh. Although she is a side branch, she has few rules in the Lou family, and she is also pampered and raised at home. But her mother-in-law, who claims to be a famous girl, must follow the rules she says in everything she says. If she is a daughter-in-law before dawn every day, she must personally serve her mother-in-law to freshen up and eat. ”

"You mean Mrs. Xun?" Shen Li remembered that he saw Mrs. Xun that day, and he was a little surprised.

"yes." Li Yue nodded, and said indignantly: "You said that if you talk about etiquette, isn't our side as good as this?" But I've never seen a person with proper manners come up with such a send-off. has always been only in the tricky and mean family, in order to embarrass the people below, they will pull these sour and rotten rules. I usually see this Mrs. Xun, but I didn't expect that she would be that kind of person in private. If I hadn't happened to catch up the day before yesterday, Vile would still be hiding from me. ”

She poured beans like a bean, and finished her stomach with a sigh of anger, and then she remembered to get down to business. "Why did you suddenly remember to ask me to come to the house, I was still thinking that I would be more relaxed in a few days, and I asked you to go to the chrysanthemum garden to eat crabs."

As soon as Li Yue came in, Shen Li had already asked Qing Xing to send out the people who were serving around him. Seeing that Li Yue finally asked, he couldn't help but be a little solemn. "I don't know if I'm looking for my sister about this, Tang is not abrupt. It's just that I'm new to the Southern Regions, and my sister is the only one who can rest assured that I can speak. So I can't do it, I can only take the liberty of one or two. ”

As soon as Li Yue heard it, she knew that what Shen Li wanted to say was not anything idle in the boudoir, and she hurriedly removed a few points of her previous ramblings. "What's so hard about you, just say it. If I can help one or two, I will naturally do my best, if not, I will come two or three years before you, and there will always be more places to inquire. ”

"Okay, I'm not polite to my sister." Shen Li nodded, and didn't do much twisting and testing. "I want to ask the Yun family about thirteen years ago, how much does my sister know."

"Thirteen years ago......" Li Yue groaned, and suddenly looked at Shen Li with wide eyes. Are you referring to the matter of the third master of the Yun family, or are you referring to the relationship between the Yun family and the Gu family that suddenly turned indifferent? ”

"Both things." Shen Li hesitated, and then said, "I encountered something that caused me a lot of trouble. My sister came before me, so I wanted to ask her to help me take a look. ”

Li Yue lowered her head and recalled seriously, before she raised her head and said, "I don't know much about what happened back then. It's just that before I came to the Southern Regions, the elders specially told me not to make friends with the Yun family. Have you heard of the eight founding surnames? ”

Shen Li's eyes flashed, "Of course." ”

"Although our family is now taking the civilian-official route, our ancestors also broke down from the battlefield of real swords and guns. At that time, the eight surnames, Wei and Lu were respected, the Rong family was a plan, and Gu, Xie, Li, Meng, and Xu were divided into two classes of civil and military, how high-spirited they were; It's a pity that power destroys people's hearts, and no matter how good the relationship is, it can't withstand the toss of time; Now that the Lu family has become an idle prince, the Rong family has retired, and the remaining lords are suspicious and arrogant. "If Li Yue's complaint when she just entered the door, it was a small vent in her daily life. So at this moment, it is already a sincere sigh.

"Don't look at our Li family, who still occupies two points in the court, it is actually precarious, it is just a superficial scenery. His Majesty has been supporting the upstarts all these years, especially the Shen family, the Fu family, and the Lang family. The upstarts want to take the position, how can the older generation watch themselves being replaced; At this time, if you don't enter, you have to enter, otherwise even if you don't do it above, your side will be chaotic sooner or later. No one is willing to be a stepping stone. ”

Shen Li was silent, Li Yue said very plainly, but she could hear the sword light and bloody urgency in it. Thinking of Uncle Rong's judgment of the eight surnames, she couldn't help but sigh.

In this world, fame, fortune and wealth can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of many people. To be able to retire calmly and neatly like the Rong family, it is already rare to find one out of a hundred people, not to mention an old family that has enjoyed all the conveniences of the privileged class.

"I'm talking a little far." Li Yue seemed to be a little aware of her digression, and hurriedly came back to her senses and smiled. "The reason why I compare the eight surnames is not for anything else, but I just think that the Yun family is similar to the Rong family back then. It's just that the Rong family retreated calmly, and the Yun family retreated in a hurry. ”

"You just asked me if there was an inside story about what happened to Master Yun San back then. I don't know how to answer you about this, because I don't know much about it. The only thing I know is that before this incident, the Lou family and the Gu family were still very general friends. After the accident of the third master, my father-in-law rushed to Lingzhou in the starry night, stayed there for four days before coming back, and never sent anyone to go again. Outsiders thought that Master Yun San had a strange temper after being disabled, and he didn't want to see his former friends again. But what is very interesting is that from that time on, the Lou family began to get close to the Gu family. To be more precise, it is to begin to get close to the son. ”

Shen Li's eyes lit up, she glanced at Li Yue carefully, and the other party nodded.

"It's interesting, the Lou family has been rooted in Qingzhou for decades. Although it is not as powerful as the four families of Gu, Yun, Wei, and Zhong, it is also one of the few upstarts second only to these families in the Southern Regions. Before that, their family members rarely sided with one family in the open. It is said that the old prince once said with a smile that if the first child of the two families was a boy and a girl, the children would be in-laws. But the old lady of the Lou family refused on the spot, bluntly saying that the threshold of the palace was too high, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to take a step. ”

Shen Li looked at Li Yue and smiled, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth followed a deep dimple, causing Li Yue to reach over and poke directly.

"You see, many things in this world are predestined. Your family made a decision back then, and you are not a couple now. Li Yue pouted again as she spoke, "But it's not necessarily, with the virtue of the imperial court, maybe I will send you over as a side concubine." At that time, it will be another good show. ”

Shen Li blushed and patted her, "You go on, how to turn to this." ”

"What else to say, I just brought those out to tell me. You also know that our family will put some people around. However, not every place can seep in, and some can only be circled around the corners. Anyway, I'm not going to ask you what you want to know. I'll just tell you everything I know. Anyway, if you think things are in my way, you can give me a shout; It doesn't matter, so you don't need to let me know. My original mission was to gain a firm foothold in the Lou family and have a speaking identity. This TOEFL has already been done. Don't tell me about those big things, I don't want to know 10,000. I'm a person who doesn't have much ambition, and I'm most comfortable with what comes my way. As long as it's not about life and death, it's a matter of not using your brain. In my uncle's words, he was a little clever, but he couldn't take it seriously, so he couldn't go to the capital. ”
