Ling Mei has always been loyal, but she doesn't explain much, Xie Yuanniang believes that as long as she orders her business, Ling Mei will not say it.

Ling Mei said, "Rest assured, girl, the slave is awake." ”

Yesterday, the county king's mansion bullied the girl, and today's girl asked the little lord to clean up the brother of the concubine of the county king's mansion, Ling Mei seems that this is the right way, and she can't let people bully all the time, but she doesn't think much about it at all.

Xie Yuanniang has her own intentions, in the spring of March, there will be a major event in the capital in April, and her father was also involved in her previous life, but her mother asked her to ask her grandfather, and her grandfather came forward to rescue her father, which is why after General Liu overturned the case in his previous life, his father still could not be reinstated.

If it weren't for Jiang Cai's gang coming over to make a fuss today, Xie Yuanniang would have almost forgotten about it.

Before, I wondered how Jiang Cai went to the second room, and knowing that Jiang Cai secretly liked calligraphy and painting, Xie Yuanniang also figured out that Jiang Cai came stupidly by himself.

"Girl, the little lord only said that the seal was engraved with a private seal, but he didn't say what was engraved? So what do you engrave? Ling Mei suddenly thought of this.

The brain is a little slower, but it's not too stupid.

Xie Yuanniang patiently explained, "He said that he would give it to him before the end of March, and it must be used later, I remember that Old Lord Jiang's birthday is April, and he should have sent it as a birthday gift." ”

In her previous life, she designed Gu Tingzhi before the spring boudoir, and after her reputation was bad, she didn't go to the birthday of the Jue Mansion, and at that time, her father was demoted, and Xie Fu was logically not qualified to go, and her sister also went with her grandmother.

Xie Yuanniang can remember the old lord's birthday so clearly, it was still that birthday banquet Jiang Cai beat Ma Shoufu's grandson, Jiang Cai was impeached by the imperial history, and the saint was furious and sent him to the frontier, who knew that Jiang Cai would show the style of a general and become a general.

"So that's the case, I can't imagine that the little lord is messing around, but he has filial piety." Ling Meigao looked at it a few points.

I have already seen the courtyard gate of Jing'an Courtyard, and the master and servant have temporarily stopped the topic, and when they enter the courtyard, they will be greeted by people, and Man Yun has a few words of greeting and led Xie Yuanniang into the main house.

In the main room, Kong was talking to Liu's mother, as soon as Xie Yuanniang came in, the two of them closed their voices, Xie Yuanniang walked to the other side of the soft couch and sat down, Liu's mother said hello and withdrew, and Manyun asked the little girl to have snacks and fruits or something.

Xie Yuanniang saw that her mother was happy, and said with a smile, "Brother Ming came back today, hasn't he arrived home at this time?" ”

"He asked people to send a letter back, saying that they would not be back until before dinner." Kong smiled gently, "The tenth day of the first month is the day of the triennial clan debate, and the letter sent by your grandfather's family has also arrived, and your fourth cousin brought Sister Yan to Jinling to participate in this debate, counting the day after tomorrow." In the past, your sisters were Shuangshu in the capital, and Sister Yan was the first talented woman in Jiangnan, this time it was rare to get together, and now your father has such a thing, and there is such a rare opportunity, this year's ethnology debate, you and your sister should also prepare well. ”

The hundred-year-old family has a family study in Jinling, and the fame of the family also represents the heritage of the family, so this family debate will be held before the spring boudoir, the day when the talented people of the Taiyuan Dynasty gather in Jinling.

The spring boudoir is held once every three years, and the ethnology debate is also held once every three years, and it is held by the century-old family study, which shows how famous and spectacular it is.

In her previous life, Xie Yuanniang had a bad reputation because of the shame at the banquet, so she felt ashamed of the debate of ethnology, so she didn't go, her sister went, but she was inferior to her in terms of literary talent, and the ethnology debate was a day when talents from various families gathered, and my sister was just mediocre in the crowd.

Just now seeing that her mother was happy, Xie Yuanniang mistakenly thought that Brother Ming was happy when she was coming back, but now she realized that she had misunderstood, "The clan study debate will gather many literati and great Confucians, and it is naturally good to be able to go to my grandfather's family to see the world this time." ”

"It's knowledge, but you also have to work hard, you and your sister are Jingcheng Shuangshu, you can't bury this head." Kong's family wants to be strong, and expressed his thoughts, "Sister Yan was taught by your grandfather's father when she was a child, and she has great talent, and when the day after tomorrow arrives, you should also ask her for advice, don't think about not being able to let go of her body at this time, her cousins are not outsiders." ”

"My daughter knows." Mother has always felt that she can't do anything, this is how she was in her previous life, Xie Yuanniang is used to her mother's view of her.

The mood is not very good.

As for Sister Yan, Xie Yuanniang didn't know much about it, but she didn't like it either.

Sister Yan was in the limelight at the Ethnology Debate, after the debate, she went back to Jiangnan Grandparents' house directly with her fourth cousin, she was in a bad mood in her last life, Sister Yan lived in Xie Mansion for a few days, Xie Yuanniang did not interact with her, only met once, or after the Ethnology Debate, she was jealous that Sister Yan's fame overshadowed her, and there was no less cynicism at the dinner table, Sister Yan and Gao Leng were stingy and didn't even look at her more, but this attitude angered Xie Yuanniang more and more, and in the end it was only himself who was embarrassed, so that Sister Yan didn't speak to her lightly, but was scolded by the fourth cousin, Sister Yan had red eyes, the fourth cousin did not accuse her of being wrong, but also comforted her, the meal broke up unhappily, and the next day Sister Yan and the fourth cousin left.

She and Sister Yan both grew up pampered in the family, Sister Yan is a noble girl in the boudoir taught by Kong Daru, talented and understands etiquette, naturally she is not used to Xie Yuanniang who does not know the rules, Xie Yuanniang is the top-notch lord, naturally neither of them likes each other.

has lived two lives, and in the last life she was a woman in her thirties, Xie Yuanniang understands her dislike for Sister Yan, she has no rules but is always taken care of, and she can live so arbitrarily, her grandfather's family has a large population, and Sister Yan is spoiled by everyone, but she is constrained everywhere.

Kong also saw that his daughter was unhappy, so he was a little unhappy, "You have always been used to being top-notch, and you usually mess around outside, but now it is no better than in the past, your father was demoted, and you offended people outside, so that your father was also arranged, and it was more difficult to deal with yourself in the Zongren Mansion." On weekdays, you can see how your sister does it, and you can make me have less gray hair. ”

As soon as he said this, Kong's face was even more worried, "This year, you two sisters are going to marry each other, although the women of the Taiyuan Dynasty are married late, there are noble families who will see each other more after the marriage is set in advance." In the past, although your father was a vacant position, he was also an official position of the second grade, and he could still be looked at by some high-ranking people, but now I am afraid it is difficult. ”

"This time there is an opportunity like the Ethnology Debate, if your sisters can shine, it will be easier to find a good marriage."

"Mother, I see." Xie Yuanniang didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging anymore, and her attitude was more sincere than before.
