The shock in the eyes of the two was undisguised.

"I told the two of you about picking a maid, you must have told the general, and then told the chief horse, right? Does anyone else know about this? Qin Ranran picked up a few medical books on the kang and slowly sorted them out.

"We only told the general that Manager Li was going to follow him into the palace at that time, so this matter was entrusted to Manager Ma." Mother Liu was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Qin Ranran meant, "Madam, are there any problems with those selected maids?" ”

Qin Ranran chuckled: "Whose maid in the tooth shop will have the smell of condensation dew on her body?" ”

"Ningxiang Dew is generally unaffordable for small households, let alone the maids in the tooth shop. Besides, his hair is black and shiny, and his waiting posture is standard and graceful, and he looks like he has been specially taught. Qin Ranran's fingers flipped over a page of the book and lightly swiped it on the page.

"Madame's eyes are so good, I didn't see it at all......" Mai Sui looked at Qin Ranran with a look of adoration.

Qin Ranran's eyes were fixed on that line of handwriting and did not move, but a smile appeared on her mouth: "Go and tell your father, we have to prepare early." ”

"Hey!" The ears of wheat said yes crisply, got up and gave a blessing, turned around and ran out.

Mother Liu sat in place and didn't move, she hesitated for a while before she asked, "Madam, don't you doubt the two of us?" ”

When Qin Ranran heard this, she seemed to see the day when the snow was falling again, Mother Liu and Mai Sui were so cold that their faces turned purple, but they didn't have a word of begging for mercy, nor did they have any look of fear.

It seems that it is really enough to live and die with the General's Mansion.

"I believe you." That's it.

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Liu's face returned to that kind smile, "Then I'll go and prepare clothes and jewelry for you to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Qin Ranran smiled and nodded, Mother Liu blessed her body, and went to the cage to prepare carefully.

Front yard study.

"Did you send the gift from Grandpa Liu?" Lu Chengan's expression was solemn.

Manager Li also looked serious: "I sent it, a genuine handiwork of Mr. Qishi in the previous dynasty." But ......" said this, and his face showed hesitation.

"What?"

"I didn't see Gonggong Liu himself, it was accepted by a small chamberlain under him, and the little chamberlain seemed to be very disapproving." Manager Li said in a low voice.

Lu Chengan frowned, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Gonggong Liu has a lot of affairs in the palace, and there are also cases where the little chamberlain doesn't know the goods." ”

"Tomorrow, I will enter the palace with Ranran, you go to find Cheng'en Gong......"

The voices in the study grew lower and lower until it was getting late.

As soon as Mr. Li walked out of the study, he saw a pair of resentful eyes outside looking at him in the dim light.

"You Nizi, don't wait by Madame's side, what are you doing here?" Manager Li was startled, and after a closer look, he saw that it was his daughter Mai Sui, patted his chest in shock, and reprimanded.

Mai Sui waited for half an afternoon, dinner was useless, and he was already hungry with his chest against his back, and he said angrily: "Dad, you and the general are too slow to talk about things, I have been waiting for a long time." ”

"I'm talking to the general, can you talk too much!" Manager Li's tone became stern.

Mai Sui saw that Manager Li was angry, so he didn't dare to talk anymore, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Madame asked me to bring you a message." ”

Manager Li's heart jumped: "What did Madame say?" ”

Mai Sui carefully observed left and right to make sure that there was no one else, and then approached Manager Li and whispered: "Madame asked you to send someone to keep an eye on Manager Ma's actions, especially the contact with the Hou Mansion. ”

"Daddy, you have to take care of your body in the outer courtyard, don't let your daughter worry." After Mai Sui finished talking about business, he suddenly blessed Mr. Li and said loudly.

Manager Li immediately put away the doubts in his heart, and said in a serious and serious tone: "You put away your frizzy temperament and work well at Madame's place, if you go out of the pool, I will definitely not intercede for you." ”

Mai Sui made a grimace at Manager Li and turned his head to leave, but suddenly said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, you are here." My father said that he would not intercede for me, in case I upset my wife, Uncle Ma, you have to say a few good words for me. ”

Mr. Ma stood at the intersection outside the study with a puzzled expression, and when he heard Mai Sui's words, he also smiled: "You are a good errand boy, how can you make Mrs. unhappy?" ”

Mai Sui stuck out her tongue at the two of them and bounced back.

Manager Li said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this kid has been spoiled by me, and he is not in shape." ”

Manager Ma smiled: "Brother Li finished talking to Master Hou?" I'll go tell the Hou Ye about entering the palace tomorrow. ”

Manager Li arched his hand: "Oh, it's over, it's not a big deal, I'll go back." ”

With that, he departed along the same road from which the chief steward had come.

Mr. Li walked all the way, turned a corner at a fork in the road, and turned towards a small courtyard on the west side of the house.

"Lu Er, give you a job." Manager Li walked into the small courtyard and happened to see Lu Er squatting on the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

Lu Er jumped down from the tree with an excited face: "Finally have my life?" Say it quickly, say it quickly. ”

Manager Li looked left and right, whispered a few words, and then patted him on the shoulder: "This is the first task given by Madame, you have to complete it well." ”

"Just wait and see!" Lu Er grinned, "This is what I am best at." ”

Manager Li looked at the sky and stretched: "Let's eat." ”

"Madam, what do you think of these clothes?" Mother Liu looked at it for a while, picked out two of them, walked over and asked.

Qin Ranran looked at the small jacket embroidered with flowers and butterflies and the matching peach scattered flower pleated skirt, and had a little headache.

"Mother Liu, will this dress be too bright, after all, it is entering the palace, it is not good to be too ostentatious." Qin Ranran asked tactfully.

Mother Liu sighed for a moment and nodded: "That's what I said, no one in the palace is easy to get along with, let's change it again." It stands to reason that you are only on the third day of marriage, so you should be dressed more festively......"

Qin Ranran smiled and listened to her chatter, and walked to the cage together and picked it up.

"It's not early, Mai Sui hasn't come back yet, Mother Liu, go to the kitchen and let them prepare dinner." Qin Ranran saw that Mother Liu's eyes had been looking at the festive red, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Mother Liu turned her head to look at the sky, and finally turned her head: "Mai Sui is a clever person, she will definitely go to the kitchen to arrange it when she comes back, I better help Mrs. choose clothes first." ”

Qin Ranran: "......"

"What are you doing, setting up this kang." As soon as Lu Chengan entered the house, he was startled by Yikang's clothes and jewelry.

Mother Liu immediately bowed: "General, my wife and I are choosing clothes to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Lu Chengan saw Qin Ranran's wry smile at him, and suddenly became interested: "I'll take a look too." ”

Mother Liu pointed to a magenta carved silk jacket embroidered with peony patterns and said, "General, look, how is this one?" It is both festive and flattering. ”

Lu Chengan turned his head to look at the apricot peach blossom dark flower silk jacket skirt next to him, covered with a pink tulle overcoat, smiled secretly in his heart, and pointed to Liu's mother's set: "Liu's mother chose this set well." ”

Mother Liu straightened her back proudly when she heard this, while Qin Ranran was dumbfounded.

"But, after all, it's entering the palace, so you can't dress too conspicuously, so it's better to wear this lighter one."

Qin Ranran: ......
