"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. After leading everyone to thank him, Jiao Lihe took the holy decree handed over by the old man with both hands, and then got up from the ground.

"Lord Jiao, although the emperor said that he would choose a day to get married, but after the New Year, the beginning of spring is the time when the emperor chooses, and the marriage of the whole country is suspended, so Prince Jing can't marry the princess before the selection." The old man said softly, "The emperor means that after the selection, the Jiao Mansion will be able to have a happy event with Prince Jing's Mansion." However, presumably Master Jiao also knows the situation in Prince Jing's mansion, so this marriage still has to be done by Lord Jiao, so as not to humiliate the emperor's face. After all, this is the emperor's marriage. ”

"Father-in-law Xie mentioned, I know how to handle this. After all, this is also a happy event for our Jiaofu to marry a daughter, and we will definitely do our best and do it decently. Jiao Lihe nodded again and again, although Jiao Yuzhen married a poor and disabled declining prince, but in the end, he is also a prince, and he was married by the emperor, he can't embarrass himself, and he won't embarrass the emperor, this marriage is just to buy face.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Jiao Yuzhen, who had an excellent appearance, and couldn't help but speak: "Mrs. Ling is actually sick, don't let her worry about the marriage of the third lady, after all, this is the future Prince Jing and Princess, and she must not make a mistake." Master Jiao also knew that the emperor had not given Prince Jing such a big deal in marriage before, but he still worked as a matchmaker, but those girls had a bad life and went early, and it was not strange for the emperor to be angry with their mother's family for this. For the sake of himself and for the sake of the third lady, Lord Jiao must protect it well. ”

When Jiao Lihe heard the words of the old prince, his face was also a little difficult to look at, what a glorious thing it was to give marriage, but when he thought that if Jiao Yuzhen did not marry smoothly, or died violently on the wedding day, it would be too unworthy for the emperor to be angry with Jiao Mansion, so he responded: "Father-in-law, don't worry, my wife is sick, I will let her stay away from the capital to recuperate, and I will definitely not add any variables to this marriage." ”

"That's for the best." The old man smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at Jiao Yuzhen again.

Jiao Yuzhen has always been good at observing words and feelings, and before Wang's husband made his mouth public, he came out and bowed in one step, and made a blessing ceremony: "Little girl Jiao Yuzhen, please say hello to your father-in-law." ”

The old man smiled and said: "The third lady is very smart, she won the first place yesterday at the year-end poetry banquet of the county lord of Wenyu, and the emperor is very happy to know it, but it is a pity that the third lady must have given up the opportunity to enter the palace to face the saint because someone made it difficult, so the emperor issued a holy decree early this morning for the miscellaneous family to send over." At the palace banquet at the end of the month, the third lady can also go to participate, this is ...... The Emperor's will. As the old man spoke, he took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Jiao Yuzhen, "Third Miss, this is the invitation to the palace banquet at the end of the month, and the third lady can enter the palace with this invitation." ”

"Grandpa Xie." Jiao Yuzhen respectfully accepted the invitation, but found that the head of the invitation was written with the words "Prince Jing and Princess Jing", so she couldn't help frowning slightly, it seems that she can't avoid this marriage, and it's not easy to avoid this palace!

******

Jiao Lihe really won't let anyone bully Jiao Yuzhen anymore, because the first thing he did when he returned to Jiao Taifu's mansion was to order someone to send all the Wang family and the henchmen around the Wang family led by Mama Li out of the capital and send them directly to the Jiao family courtyard in Qingzhou, without even saying when he could come back, but the second thing was to take Jiao Yuzhen out of the small courtyard where she originally lived, but moved to a gorgeous courtyard where her biological mother Aunt Liu lived before her death. Even the Wang family didn't let him live in the past, which can be regarded as the only compensation for him, a father, before his daughter got married.

Jiao Ruzhi is completely on the same front as Jiao Yuzhen, but Jiao Youhan seems to be crying because her mother was sent away, and said that she was sick and didn't even come out of the door, but Jiao Youhan is not the person Jiao Yuzhen pays attention to, she just pays attention to Jiao Hongfu, because this child is so strange, he didn't feel sad because his mother was sent away, nor did he come to ask for some benefits because he helped Jiao Yuzhen, he seemed to just look at everything, and then stood far away and watched.

took a comfortable bath, Jiao Yuzhen lay on the soft bed, although she spent some money to ask the children on the street to bring a message to Jin Er to report safety, but she did not let Jin Er come back, in fact, it is the best and safest to let Jin Er and Gongsun Yi'an stay outside the house now, because what she has to do next is to take advantage of the advantages that no one can bully now, can manage her advantages, make good money, and then run away from marriage!

"Third Miss, your new clothes have been delivered."

A twelve-year-old girl walked in with a large stack of clothes and a little shaky steps, but because her vision was blocked by the clothes, she almost tripped over the threshold under her feet, but fortunately, Jiao Yuzhen stepped forward to help her quickly, and took off the large stack of clothes by the way.

"Don't take so much at once, what if you fall?"

The little maid nodded a little panicked: "It's Xiao Shu who is not good, Xiao Shu is new, I'm afraid that the housekeeper will say that I'm not diligent, so I take too much...... I'm sorry. Excuse me...... Can my sister help me bring it in and give it to Miss Three? ”

Jiao Yuzhen laughed out loud, and then took the clothes in the little girl's hand, although her body was not fifteen years old, but she was taller and stronger than most women of the same age, and even her figure had shown exquisite curves, except for that childish face, her figure was more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, so she could pick up all the clothes at once and go directly into the inner room, put the clothes on the bed, and picked up the top one casually and looked at it.

"Sister, don't be like this, if you let the master find out, you will be angry."

Xiao Shu seemed to be very nervous, she hurriedly trotted over, wanting to get back the clothes from Jiao Yuzhen's hand, but Jiao Yuzhen raised her hand, making her pounce.

"Don't be afraid, I won't be angry because I moved my clothes." Jiao Yuzhen saw Xiao Shu's face flushed because of his words, and he smiled even more cheerfully.

"Third Miss is so ......" Xiao Shu blushed and saluted with an embarrassing blessing.

"No need to be polite." Jiao Yuzhen stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Shu, the little girl who was only on her shoulder was delicate and lovely, "Your name is Xiao Shu?" When did you enter the house? ”

Xiao Shu nodded, and said respectfully: "I entered the mansion today...... In fact, as early as half a month ago, the housekeeper had already received the deed of sale, but to work in a large family's house, it was necessary to learn etiquette from the grandmother's side, so I officially entered the house today, and the housekeeper said that there was a shortage of people in the courtyard of the third lady, so I asked Xiao Shu and a few sisters to come over. ”

"How many people are there?" Jiao Yuzhen didn't let Jin Er come back, and the Wang family was driven away again, Jiao Lihe told the housekeeper to obey her in everything, she naturally understood that the housekeeper would definitely send someone over, but she didn't expect that the person sent by the next person didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, and it actually made a little girl a diligent errand.

"Including Xiao Shu, there are a total of six maids, five family members, the family members are in the outer courtyard, and there are two rough maid sisters in the inner courtyard, in their twenties, the steward said that they can be called grandma, one is Yang, the other is Chen, and they are all young women who come out to work, and they can cook. And the four maids, including me, are the serving maids of the inner courtyard, namely catkins, green plums and begonias. Xiao Shu said honestly, "The sisters said that they wanted to familiarize themselves with the yard, so I came to give the lady clothes." I heard that there was a personal maid Jin Er by Miss's side, so I regarded Miss as Sister Jin Er just now......"

Seeing that Xiao Shu was talking more and more quietly, and her shy appearance was very cute, Jiao Yuzhen grinned: "Jin'er, I sent her to do something outside the house, and she won't come back for the time being." Xiao Shu, you just stay by my side and be my personal maid. ”

"Yes, miss." Xiao Shu nodded vigorously, "Xiao Shu will take care of Miss." ”

"Well, okay, then you wait here, I'll try on clothes......"

"Miss." Xiao Shu stopped Jiao Yuzhen, "Miss has a wound on her forehead that is still very red and swollen, Xiao Shu has always carried a family heirloom plaster, what if Miss wants to do it?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Shu took out an ordinary porcelain box from his arms very attentively and handed it over, Jiao Yuzhen opened it, the plaster in it was far from what Xin Pengyi gave her, but there was an extra fragrance of flowers, the fragrance was very special, she had never smelled it, after all, she was also a woman, and she liked flowers in her past and present lives, but this flower fragrance ...... It's frighteningly strange.

Xiao Shu seemed to be afraid that Jiao Yuzhen would not like this ointment, so he hurriedly said: "There are several kinds of flower juice in this ointment, so it has a floral fragrance, and it can reduce swelling and scars when applied to it, and it also smells very good, Miss can try it." ”

"How could Xiao Shu have such an ointment? If this is an ancestral heirloom...... Xiao Shu Zushang is a doctor? ”

"Xiao Shu's grandfather is a doctor, and his father has also learned some fur, but he can only look at ordinary minor diseases, and he also treats livestock in the village, but Miss rest assured, this ointment is made by grandpa, and it is definitely for people!"

Jiao Yuzhen's eyes looking at Xiao Shu were still very kind and peaceful, but the golden light circulating in her eyes told her that this Xiao Shu's heartbeat had accelerated a lot, maybe she was worried that she didn't like the ointment, or maybe it was ...... It's lying.

"Thank you Xiaoshu, this ointment will be put on the dresser first. You go and call the other maids in the inner courtyard, and I'll have to recognize them. Jiao Yuzhen, who was going to try on clothes, sat back on the chair instead.

"Yes, miss." Xiao Shu nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.

Xiao Shu called the other three maids in the inner courtyard over, all of them were fifteen or sixteen-year-old young girls, all of them were very delicate, but compared with the beautiful and lovely Xiao Shu, there was a distance, but with the sixteen-year-old willow catkins as the head, the rest of the green plums and begonias were all fifteen years old, and they looked very dignified and elegant, but they didn't look like scheming women.

"Say hello to Miss." The three of them had trained a lot of training to make a greeting to Jiao Yuzhen.

"Hmm." Jiao Yuzhen nodded lightly, and looked at the three people in front of him before speaking, "Xiao Shu will be my personal maid in the future, and the three of you will wait in the inner courtyard." You are all clever, and I, the master, will not treat you badly. There are twenty taels of silver here, Xiao Shu, you and they have divided it, five taels of silver per person, as a gift from me to you. ”

"Yes, miss." Xiao Shu obediently stepped forward to take the silver in Jiao Yuzhen's hand, and then distributed it to everyone in turn.

"Catkins." Jiao Yuzhen took out another bag of broken silver and handed it to Liu Wu, "You go to the outer courtyard and divide the silver equally among the family members and grandmothers in the outer courtyard." Come back and call me back when it's done. ”
