Li Jingyi received Zhou Yan's post, gave the eldest princess of Jinyang, and came to the Xiuwu Marquis Mansion early the next morning.

Zhou Yan picked her up at the gate, and the two of them walked to the courtyard where Mrs. Quan lived, Li Jingyi looked at the layout of the Hou Mansion and exclaimed, "Or you will clean up, I remember that the Hou Mansion was not like this before." ”

To restore the Xiuwu Marquis Mansion to the appearance of the second-class Marquis Mansion, Zhou Yan's effort is not something that can be said in a few words, "Don't you look at who I am, what I want to do, what can't I do?" ”

"My favorite thing is your temperament," Li Jingyi pursed her lips and smiled, "And Sister Zhou, they all refuse to admit defeat, unlike me,"

Zhou Yan glanced at Li Jingyi, "How else to say what is missing?" You like our sister's fiery temperament, and I like your quiet and elegant nature,"

"It's boring, isn't it?" Thinking back at this time, Li Jingyi couldn't understand what evil she had fallen into at that time, thinking that being quiet and elegant and having no quarrel with the world was the style of a noble girl in the family, and she must cultivate herself to that before she gave up.

When Li Jingyi and the others arrived at Mrs. Quan's courtyard, Mama Guo was already waiting at the gate, she saw Li Jingyi and Zhou Yan, a little helpless, "The slave has seen the county lord, the county lord forgives the sin, my old lady got up a little early this morning, and she was not very comfortable,"

So I didn't go to the gate to greet Li Jingyi.

"It's okay," Zhou Yan's mother-in-law is inevitably a little lonely because she is widowed as a young man, but also because she is guarding the Hou Mansion to raise Su Shuyan who is still in infancy, so she is very respected by everyone, and she is still Zhou Yan's mother-in-law, Li Jingyi will not really care about the crime of disrespect with her.

Mrs. Quan didn't even want to do basic face love for Li Jingyi, first, she believed that she was Zhou Yan's mother-in-law, and she was not satisfied with the baby kiss that her husband ordered for her son before his death, and she didn't even have any enthusiasm for the guests brought by Zhou Yan, and secondly, she looked down on Li Jingyi and her departure home, and felt that she had lost her woman's morality, so Zhou Yan invited Li Jingyi to enter the main hall and sit down, and Mrs. Quan helped the maid to slowly come out of the inner room.

"Well, here," Mrs. Quan said hello lightly when she saw Zhou Yan and Li Jingyi, and sat down on the top, "I'm a little uncomfortable today, if it weren't for the county lord to come, I wouldn't have planned to get up." ”

Although Zhou Yan has been getting along for several years, she is clear about her confused mother-in-law's temperament, but she is still angry with her rudeness and arrogance, when she came to greet Mrs. Quan in the morning, she was still fine, and ate three buns in one go, but in front of Li Jingyi, she had to save face for Mrs. Quan, "County lord, forgive me, my mother is not in good health for a while, and it is getting colder and colder this day, so it is inevitable that she can't hold ......"

Li Jingyi nodded with a smile, "I see, too, I heard in the Eldest Princess's Mansion that the threshold of your Xiuwuhou Mansion has been stepped on by three inches, the old lady has a spring and autumn period, and it is common for her to not be able to hold on, but you, as a junior, should be blocked, and you must be able to do it, and you can't make the old lady so tired, otherwise something will come out, say that you are not filial, forget it, what you don't know outside, and then it is rumored that Su Hou is incompetent, and it is not good to ask the female dependents to interfere in the affairs of the court." ”

This girl, sure enough, has changed, Zhou Yan was amused by Li Jingyi's lesson of "righteousness and strictness", but she made a sincere and frightened look on her face, and got up and said yes, but the old lady Quan couldn't listen to it anymore, when did this Xiuwuhou Mansion take Li Jingyi's turn to speak?

"Who I see, what does it have to do with Shuyan? is also meddling in court affairs, the county lord's hat is buckled quite big, looking at us are such ignorant women? ”

Li Jingyi was not angry, and said with a smile, "This day the family is selfless, and the emperor's decree to draft the draft is for the heir, which is even more important, otherwise how could he deliberately order Su Hou to be a flower and bird envoy?" It can be seen how much the emperor and Niangniang attach importance to this matter,"

She took Zhou Yan's hand affectionately and said, "It's good for me to play with Sister Yan, so I said more, this document is certainly a merit, but because of this, the court is watching it, if there is any negligence, wouldn't it be a matter of giving people a handle?" ”

"What the county lord said is that now there is only one Gyeonggi, and there are enough 160 people whose names are reported to the Ministry of Rites, and only 20 show girls are selected, and there are more monks and less porridge, where does this beauty and virtue come from? My lord's hair is almost gray,"

Zhou Yan glanced at Mrs. Quan, who was sitting upright with a cold face, her mother-in-law did not refuse to come, and no one would let go of her courtesy, as long as she coaxed a few words, she had to pat her chest to ensure that the daughter of that family would be selected, Zhou Yan couldn't stop her from the side, sometimes she was really worried that when the list was announced, would someone knock on the door? !

Li Jingyi sighed with her and comforted, "I heard that Master Hou was originally in the Weapons Bureau?" He has always been in charge of martial affairs, and he was temporarily arrested by the emperor to receive this messenger, if it is really not in line with the holy will, it is a big deal to return to the weapon, Xiuwu Marquis Mansion is a second-class marquis, is it possible to still count on the errand of this son to be a little silver? ”

What is this called? Mrs. Quan is still counting on her son to do this matter beautifully, and she can take advantage of the situation to come out of the place where birds don't in the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, she coughed lightly, "My family Shuyan will definitely choose a few girls with both ability and political integrity for the emperor to come out, and I won't bother the county lord." ”

Persuaded by herself, Li Jingyi beat, it seems that her mother-in-law can't hear it, Zhou Yan stood up helplessly, "The concubine's mother still needs medicine, why don't the county lord go to the concubine's courtyard to sit?" ”

Mrs. Quan didn't plan to stay with Li Jingyi longer, so she didn't deny Zhou Yan's words, but only made a tired look, "Yes, ask Shuyan's daughter-in-law to talk to the county lord, and I won't accompany the county lord." ”

Zhou Yan accompanied Li Jingyi out of the Quan's courtyard, and said to Li Jingyi helplessly, "My mother-in-law has a lonely temper, Jingniang, don't take it to heart." ”

Mrs. Quan is Zhou Yan's mother-in-law, how could Li Jingyi care about these vulgar etiquette with her, she smiled and took Zhou Yan's hand and said, "How good is this, I'm really afraid of falling into the eyes of the old lady and being kept to talk, how good is this?" ”

"It's just that my mother doesn't understand what you mean," Li Jingyi beat Mrs. Quan with words, in fact, it was also Zhou Yan's meaning to give her through, but Li Jingyi, the wicked person, did it, but it didn't work at all, "She only thought about me going out every day to be very beautiful, and she wanted to overpower me everywhere, but she didn't know where I came from, it was all well thought out,"

Zhou Yan shook her head and sighed, "I hope that the Hu family's affairs can have a good result this time," If you can make this great achievement, it will be something wrong in the future draft, and I think that with the character of Emperor Longwu, I will definitely not blame it."

Li Jingyi patted Zhou Yan's arm and comforted her, "As long as the candidate who Hou Ye finally reported is not a big mistake, the others are all small sections, and the villain is not what you invited to the mansion, right?" ”

Li Jingyi teased Sister Huan and Brother Qian in Zhou Yan's Chuyang Courtyard for a while, and when she saw Zhou Yan come in and say that Yun Chi was coming, she handed Brother Qian into Zhou Yan's arms, "Where do I see him?" ”

Li Jingyi's casual attitude really scared Zhou Yan, there is still a defense of men and women in the big Zhou, even if Li Jingyi's identity is relatively free, but Yun Chi is a foreign man of a similar age after all, she looked at Li Jingyi, who had elegant eyebrows and eyes, and a thought suddenly popped up, "Jing Niang,"

"Well," Li Jingyi straightened out the placket that was messed up because of Brother Huqian'er, and put on a cloak for her by Huansheng, "What's wrong?" But Yun Hou is talking to your Hou Ye? ”

"No," the more Zhou Yan looked at it, the more she felt that Li Jingyi was actually a good match for Yun Chi, she walked over and looked at Li Jingyi, "You wait,"

As he spoke, he turned around and ran back to the inner room, took out a pair of bead flowers from Nanzhu from his makeup box, and came over to personally insert Li Jingyi in his sideburns, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it's not good to be too simple." ”

Li Jingyi let Zhou Yan put the bead flower on her, but she refused to listen to her and went over to apply lipstick, "I'm done like this, it's too grand and deliberate," Yun Chi saw her, she came, and it was not good to dress up too fancy to make people feel frivolous.

"Okay," Zhou Yan responded in her mouth, and she quickly swept Li Jingyi's eyebrows twice with Luodai in her hand, before she nodded with satisfaction, "It's more energetic to clean up people, isn't it?" You were rescued by Yun Hou Ye, and he was happy to see that you were already very good, wasn't he? ”

"That's what my sister says, now we can go, right? If I ask Yunhou to wait for a long time, I'm afraid that I will think that I am rude," Li Jingyi reluctantly let Zhou Yan help him straighten the long hairpin between his hair.

"Okay, let's go," Zhou Yan finally looked Li Jingyi up and down again, and felt impeccable, so she motioned to the maid to lead the way, and accompanied Li Jingyi to the warm flower dock in the house.

Yun Chi saw two beauties, one red and one emerald, coming slowly from a distance through the glass window of the warm flower dock, and Su Shuyan beside him had already stood up, "They are here." ”

Zhou Yan is a long-faced person, with fair skin and blazing eyes, standing with her, even if she is wearing a big red cloak, Li Jingyi looks quiet and graceful, which will make people feel that her momentum is insufficient, Yun Chi felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, thinking that Li Jingyi had suffered a great physical and mental injury at a young age, and she had hurt her foundation.

"Master Hou," Su Shuyan saw Yun Chi staring blankly at his wife and Ruihe County Lord who came over, a little strange, "That Cuiyi is Clumsy." ”

"Well, I heard that Mrs. Zhou and the county lord are good friends, and when I saw them today, sure enough," Yun Chi said with a self-deprecating smile.

Su Shuyan nodded, "The two of them don't look at the different temperaments, but they have been good since they were children, I heard my wife say that the county lord is weaker, and she doesn't like to compete with others, she sometimes can't look at it, so she will talk more to help." ”

Even if you are the county lord and your temperament is not strong, you are still bullied, Yun Chi nodded, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is used to being kind to others, and after a long time, many villains will forget the dignity of the monarch and the minister." ”

"Ahem, isn't it," Su Shuyan scratched his head, heard his wife's voice outside, and hurriedly stepped over to pick up the curtain himself, "You're here!" ”
