Chapter 91: Quotas

(Four pink additions for Wenlan Heart)

Qian sipped tea, her face was gloomy, she didn't know what the old lady was doing, didn't she just want her daughter in the second room to marry well, and she was still thinking that there was one less invitation, and it was best for the concubine not to go at all, but she also came to occupy two places, and she thought it was quite beautiful!

Qian put down the teacup, his eyes fell on Zhiwan's invitation, picked it up casually, and went to the rosin courtyard, of course, Qin Zhixue and the others also wanted to follow, they had to win this post!

Zhiwan deliberately walked behind, Poria followed step by step, her eyes were full of stars, and her face was even more smiling, banquet, the girl can finally go to the banquet, or the invitation personally ordered by the county lord of Jining!

In Zhao's house, Qin Zhiwen and Qin Zhishan were diligently helping Zhao beat his legs and pinch his shoulders, and Zhao's face was full of smiles, and Xiao Zhao was even talking homely, and when he saw Qian coming in with a big red post, he hurriedly greeted him.

The Qian family didn't appreciate it at all, and lightly stepped forward to greet the Zhao family, and went straight to the point, "Old lady, I can let the second room go to the hibiscus banquet, but I can only go to one at most!" ”

Xiao Zhao was immediately unhappy, "Sister-in-law, the people who went to the hibiscus banquet are all concubines, the eldest girl has already married, there are only three concubines in the second room of the big house, if you don't go, who do you want to go?" ”

As Xiao Zhao spoke, Qin Zhirou was a little unhappy, "Second aunt, who said that concubines can't participate in the hibiscus banquet, the county lord of Jining specially sent a post to the fourth sister!" ”

Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and the Buddha beads in Zhao's hand paused, and asked Qian, "There are two invitations in the house?" ”

Before Qian could answer, Xiao Zhao was even happier, "Two is better, bring both Sister-in-law and Shan'er, in addition to Zhiwan, you can also bring two more." ”

The Qian family is not angry, and it is not her turn to point fingers at the affairs of the Hou Mansion. Qian sat down and sneered, "Brother and sister are thinking too simply, except this time." I haven't seen anyone have two invitations in the house, and the invitation of Zhiwan is different from Zhiyu's, I don't know if I can bring someone, in case I go to six people, and I can only go in four when the time comes, who will come back? ”

Xiao Zhao's face changed slightly, to put it mildly, she just didn't want to give her two daughters, she really had the final say in the Hou Mansion, and Xiao Zhao stopped talking. As long as the old lady is coaxed, her two daughters will be able to go, and she will not be guilty of smiling in front of her.

Zhao looked at the two invitations, and sure enough, there were some differences, to be precise. Zhiwan's one is superior in terms of material and style, and there is a gold line on it, but the two are indeed different, no one really knows if you can bring three people, no one has received it before, Zhao said, "Send someone to Princess Liuhua's mansion to ask in a while." Let's see if this post can bring people, if you can bring three people, bring the second girl and the seventh girl. ”

Qin Zhixue looked at each other, her eyes were full of anger, if it weren't for the two places in the second room, they wouldn't have to go at all. Well, now, if the fourth sister can't bring people, there will be nothing to do with them!

They have never hated the second room so much!

The Qian family didn't want to reject the Zhao family openly, making everyone lose face, but let her take the two daughters in the second room with her. That's wishful thinking, everyone in the room is discussing what to wear to the hibiscus banquet, of course, it is Qin Zhiwen and Qin Zhishan and Qin Zhiyu who are discussing, as for Zhiwan, she has no right to speak, but Zhiwan knows that even for the sake of the face of the Hou Mansion, she will not dress too badly.

Seven days later, I participated in the hibiscus banquet, and I didn't have to go to the Reclining Buddha Temple anymore in the evening, and I returned to the Sandalwood Courtyard with joy, but no one was unhappy, the Reclining Buddha Temple could go at any time, the two children, Yao's mother could visit, and they were all taken care of by caring people, so I didn't worry at all, the hibiscus banquet was not something that I could go to if I wanted to.

In the morning, Zhiwan practiced calligraphy for a while, and after lunch, he took a nap, and when he was asleep, he was woken up, and it was no one else, it was Qin Zhiyu.

Zhiwan had a lot of anger to get up, and when she opened her mouth to scold Qin Zhiyu, Poria was busy interrupting, making Qin Zhiwan think that it was actually Poria who was scolding, so she didn't find trouble with Zhiwan, Zhiwan washed her face, and then looked at Qin Zhiwan, "Sixth sister has something to do with me?" ”

Qin Zhiyu's ruddy face was full of unhappiness, "Of course there's something!" Mother sent someone to Princess Liuhua's Mansion to ask, you can take someone to the post, no different from mine, in addition, these days Princess Liuhua Mansion is preparing for a hibiscus banquet, you can go to the Princess's Mansion to find the Lord of Jining County to play, you can also take one more person to go, tomorrow, you go with me. ”

Zhiwan didn't think it was a big deal, so she answered softly, and asked casually, "Can you not go?" ”

Qin Zhiyu's face was pale, her eyes widened, how many people were looking forward to going, but she didn't want to go, if it wasn't for the post for her, who to take with her will, she thought she was willing to go with her! It's really embarrassing, I really don't know how the county lord of Ji Ning invited her!

Qin Zhiyu didn't want to talk to Zhiwan more, "Ming'er will go out after asking her mother for peace, remember to dress up beautifully." ”

After saying this, Qin Zhiyu left.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yao's mother came back, and after selling her jewelry, she bought two sets of medium headdresses, and the remaining two thousand taels of silver, all of which were given to Zhiwan.

After a while, someone from the embroidery workshop came to tailor her clothes, although Zhiwan had a lot of new clothes because of marriage, but the previous Zhiwan was very thin, and it was okay to wear those clothes, but it was a little inappropriate to participate in the banquet, and outsiders could not laugh at it.

On this day, the Hou Mansion was very lively, and several groups of people came, all for the quota of the hibiscus banquet, in addition to Qin Zhiyu and Zhiwan, there were four places, Qian only gave one place to the second room, and there were three left, and two outsiders could be brought to go, no, Qian's sister-in-law came to the door with a gift, and coaxed one softly, Qin Zhiyan came back specially and asked for one for her sister-in-law, Zhao was not happy, there was a quota for outsiders, and she would not give the second room, but Qin Zhiyan was Qian's baby daughter, if she didn't give it, How Qin Zhiyan gained a foothold in Ning Guofu, under the pressure of the Zhao family, the Qian family gritted his teeth and gave it, and there was only one left.

This one, the second room is fighting again, and several girls in the house are also fighting, in addition to being courteous in front of the Zhao family and the Qian family, they are also dedicated to Zhiwan here, the first one is Aunt Mei, holding Zhiwan's hand and saying, "I know that your fifth sister can't live with you, and she also admits her mistake, the hibiscus banquet is related to your fifth sister for a lifetime, and the county lord of Jining specially gave you a post." Ming'er, when you go to Princess Liuhua's mansion, you can help your fifth sister say a good word, right? ”

Mother Yao came in with tea and said with a smile, "Aunt Mei." The county lord of Ji Ning gave a post to the four girls, who can go, can the four girls be the master? You let the four girls go to beg the county lord of Jining, and in the end I don't know who will let you go, in case you miss the wife or something, the four girls can't afford it, you better go and beg the wife. ”

Aunt Mei's face was gloomy, this old man, every time she came out to stir up the situation, if she hadn't taught her badly, she would have been late. Will she not listen to her?

Zhiwan shook her head and said that she didn't dare, tomorrow she would go with Qin Zhiyu, she didn't know if there was a chance to speak, but she would try. It's just that she can't do it, she can't guarantee it, she can be regarded as coaxing Aunt Mei back.

As soon as Aunt Mei left, Aunt Lan sent pastries, and Zhiwan also sent them back, and if someone came later, Zhiwan would avoid guests.

Zhiwan didn't expect that he didn't want to get into trouble. As a result, Huan Jiao was turned away.

In Meixiang Courtyard, Huan Jiao brought a gift, she came back very unlucky, and was mistakenly thought that she was also here to ask for an invitation, after all, Zhiwan was going to marry her eldest brother, and Qin Zhiyan could come back to ask for it. It's nothing for her to come, Qin Zhixue and a few people are angry because they are angry, and their words are much more difficult to hear, and they are sarcastic and sarcastic, which makes Huan Jiao very embarrassed. Busy said, "I'm not asking for an invitation, I'm sharing an invitation with Yuan Ran and Qingxu, and I'm here today to find the fourth girl for something." ”

Qin Zhixue saw that she didn't want to be invited, her face was much better, "The fourth sister is unwell, and she doesn't even see us, it's too unfortunate that you came, the fourth sister of Ming'er wants to go to the fifth sister to play with the lord of Jining County, you have to come the day after tomorrow to see her." ”

Huan Jiao was really anxious, "But I'm really in a hurry, can I be accommodating, I'll see you." ”

Qin Zhixue frowned, how could she say that she was also a big girl in Huan Mansion, it was too strange to be so low in order to see a concubine, right?

Qin Zhiyu was also puzzled, but Huan Jiao's posture, if the Qian family didn't let her see Zhiwan, she really couldn't say it, so she instructed Wang's mother, "Take her to see the fourth girl." ”

By the way, she gave Wang's mother a look, and Wang's mother understood, and then respectfully led Huan Jiao to the Sandalwood Courtyard.

At that time, Zhiwan was holding her chin with her hand in a daze, Huan Jiao stepped forward in three steps and two steps, the footsteps were louder, which alarmed Zhiwan, and Zhiwan was slightly stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

Huan Jiao almost cried, and she didn't care about anyone being there, and the first thing she said was, "My eldest brother lost his sight in the morning and took a cup of tea." ”

Zhiwan frowned, Mother Wang looked at Huan Jiao, is the young master Huan blind? Should I go to the doctor for this matter, what should I do with the four girls, or does the young master Huan want to find death again, or do I want to look at the four girls more before I go blind? If this is really the plan, you shouldn't tell the four girls clearly, but you put down a post to invite the four girls to go to Huan Mansion to enjoy flowers and drink tea, but everyone knows what to do?

Zhiwan comforted Huan Jiao and said, "Don't worry, your eldest brother won't really be blind." ”

Huan Jiao bit her lip and looked at Zhiwan, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

Zhiwan smiled, "You don't need me to swear, do you?" ”

Huan Jiao only then believed that Zhiwan, Yao's mother brought tea to Wang's mother to drink, Wang's mother didn't move at all, she came to watch, she didn't dare to make a mistake, she had the advice of his wife, Wang's mother didn't leave, no one could do anything about her.

Huan Jiao looked at Zhiwan, she had a lot of things she wanted to ask, but she knew that Zhiwan didn't allow others to divulge her medical skills, she couldn't ask, but in addition to Huan Zi almost losing her sight, there was a more important thing she didn't know what to do, she didn't care about Wang's mother's presence, she took out a small brocade box directly from her sleeve and handed it to Zhiwan, Zhiwan opened it and looked at it, her brows furrowed, "Why are there only three?" And one more is broken? ”

Huan Jiao twisted the embroidered handkerchief and said, "Dad told the craftsman in the palace that it was ten, but when I went to get it, the craftsman said that it was too difficult to get it, and it broke several roots, so let my father find someone else to do it, I took one out of curiosity today, but I didn't think about it for a while, and it fell to the ground, and it broke into two halves......." ”

Zhiwan picked up one, bent it lightly with his hand, snapped, and broke it into two, and the broken Wang's mother was heartbroken, this was made by the craftsman in the palace, and the four girls were broken like this?

Zhiwan glanced at the needle, shook his head and said, "This one doesn't work, it's too brittle." ”

Huan Jiao pursed her lips, "What should I do then?" ”

"Is there steel?"

Huan Jiao blinked, there was a shock in her eyes, her father also mentioned steel, and the craftsman said that unless it was steel, the things made were too brittle, "The craftsman said that the steel can work, but the steel court has very strict jurisdiction, and private possession is a capital crime, even if you can get it, the craftsman will not dare to do it." ”

"......." ”

Is it a capital offense to possess steel? In her previous life, wouldn't she want to connect the nine clans, knowing that the black lines on her face were too backward, right?

Huan Jiao really didn't know what to do, so she came to find Zhiwan, looking at Zhiwan's expression, Huan Jiao didn't know what she meant, it seemed to be contempt?

Zhiwan looked at the needle, picked it up, snapped it and broke it, and then said, "You go back first." ”

Huan Jiao stirred the handkerchief, "But this needle ......." ”

Zhiwan gave her a reassuring expression, I will find a way, Huan Jiao left with peace of mind, and gave Zhiwan a purse before leaving, and Zhiwan couldn't accept it if she wanted to.

Wang's mother watched it for a long time, but she didn't understand what she was talking about, but she still told Qian the truth, Qian heard the craftsman and the needle, especially the needle was rare, and it was broken by Zhiwan, and there were even two words of steel, Qian's eyebrows were raised, she didn't think that Zhiwan could get steel, so she didn't take it to heart, as for whether the young master Huan was blind or not, it had little to do with her.

Besides, Zhiwan, after Huan Jiao left, opened the purse and took a look, and found that it contained a silver ticket, with a large denomination, so that the corners of Zhiwan's mouth twitched, her rule is that there is no charge for treatment, and now she has not been treated, so she will pay the consultation fee first?

That's right, that's 10,000 taels of silver tickets!

Poria looked at Zhiwan and said worriedly, "What if you don't have that kind of needle?" ”

Zhiwan was also worried, she didn't expect that steel was so precious, even if there was, the craftsman didn't dare to make it, for fear of losing her life, Zhiwan thought about it, she could only find Ye Guiyue for this matter, she was not afraid of death, she didn't put the law of Dayue in her eyes, she only knew him!

But how to find him, Zhiwan is entangled.

Zhiwan took the purse and went around the yard, looking at the tree, hoping that there was someone on the tree, but he shouldn't have sent someone to spy on her, right?

Zhiwan walked back and forth several times, except for finding that there was a bird's nest on the tree, there was nothing, Zhiwan had no choice, so he had to write a letter and ask Poria to send it to the side courtyard, where there were secret guards watching the dust.
