The two brothers of Zhennan Wang sent Uncle Fu, the housekeeper of the letter for enrollment, to Yunlu Academy. On the day when Nanling Xuan entered the palace, Yunlu Academy replied with a letter, saying that Yunlu Academy had approved the admission applications of three people. However, Nanling Mo and Nanling Mao need to take the entrance exam on the eighth day of the second lunar month, and those who meet the requirements can stay in the academy to study.

It was Nanshen who sent a housekeeper to send books to both of them, so that the two of them could study well in the house. Regarding Nan Lingxuan's recent fame, Nan Lingmo didn't care at all. In addition to reading quietly in her yard, she occasionally went to Shulan Pavilion to see Nanling Xiang's leg injury.

On this day, Nanling Mo was reading a book in the small study, and Mei Qian came to report: "County Lord, the prince is here, and he is waiting for you in the front hall." Nanling Mo put down the book, walked quickly to the front hall, and saw Nanling Xiao sitting there drinking tea. Big brother, have you been feeling better lately? ”

"Little sister, the last time you told me about Hongni Town, you have eyebrows." Nanling Xiao said, "I have already chosen the place, you are always reading books in the house, why don't you go to the eldest brother tomorrow and take you to the suburbs to take a walk in the Zhuangzi?" ”

"Okay." Nanling Mo almost forgot to discuss the white porcelain business with Nanling Xiao years ago, if there was no reminder from Nanling Xiao, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing.

"County Lord, who are you going to take to Zhuangzi tomorrow?" Mei Qian asked, Nan Lingmo looked at her shining eyes, and knew that this girl couldn't stay in the house, so she smiled and said, "Take you and Mei Shuang to let Mei Xi and Mei Xue take care of the house." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid will go down with Meishuang to prepare the things that will go to Zhuangzi tomorrow." Mei Qian was overjoyed, and went to clean up her things with a smile.

"Mei Xi, this time the county lord went to Zhuangzi, you take the opportunity to check everything in the small kitchen." Nan Lingmo commanded in a low voice.

"Is the county lord suspicious?" Mei Xi asked in a low voice, "It's impossible, all the food has been tested by the hands of the slaves." ”

"If it's not a problem with eating, it's those pots and pans." Nanling Mo pondered, "You take advantage of the absence of the county lord to check everything, and if there is anything wrong, deal with it quietly, don't alarm others." And the eldest brother's side, whether it is a medicine jar or something, it must be carefully checked, the eldest brother's illness is still not good, I can't rest assured. ”

"Yes. The slave understands. Mei Xi retreated, and Nan Lingmo explained a few more words to Mei Xue and continued to read the book without mentioning it.

"The county lord, the slave maid heard that the prince plans to take the county lord to the hot spring courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing for two days. The ancestor meant that there were still a few days before the opening of the academy, so it was better to go to the other courtyard to live for two days. Xiuxia hurriedly came in to report.

"What's the fun of going to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing at this time? If the county lord doesn't go, you go back to the ancestors and say that the county lord has been feeling cold recently, so he won't go. Nanling Mei muttered.

"County Lord, the slave maid thinks it's better for you to go," Xiuxia persuaded in a low voice, "The county lord and the third lady will enter the academy with you on the first day of the first month of next month, the reputation of the third lady is now very loud in the capital, and it is also quite liked by the ancestors in the mansion, if you don't show the harmony of sisters, let outsiders see your gentle atmosphere, wait until the school starts, how can you gain a foothold?" ”

Nan Lingmei thought about it, felt that Xiuxia's words were very reasonable, and said: "You are still thoughtful, then you can also go down and prepare, tomorrow you go with Bang Dong, and leave Huichun to guard the courtyard." ”

On the second day, the royal family got into their own carriages and went to the hot spring annex on the outskirts of Beijing. The minions in the annex had already gotten the news and were waiting at the gate of the annex.

"Mother, this is the hot spring annex on the outskirts of Beijing? It's so beautiful! Nan Lingqing is young after all, and she has never been to the hot spring courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and when she got out of the car and saw a different scene from the palace, she clapped her hands and smiled with fresh and excitement.

Zhao got out of the car and saw this hot spring courtyard, and he was also full of feelings. She married into the Zhennan Mansion for nearly 20 years, and she came twice with Nannuma in the two years she was married, and then the children were born one after another, and then she went to Hunan for ten years, and almost never set foot in the hot spring courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

The steward of the other courtyard stepped forward and replied: "The courtyard of the old lady and the masters has been arranged, please move." Mrs. Jiang nodded and took the lead in entering the courtyard.

Jiang Lao Taijun still lives in the former residence of Yuhuaitang, Nanling Xiao is weak and lives in Chunze Zhai, which has a separate warm soup, and Nanling Mao and Nanling Ce live in Hanxu Stream; Nanling Mo lives in Xiangzhou, Nanling Mei lives in Linglong Pavilion, Nanling Xuan and Nanling Qing live in the relatively large Yingyue Zhai with Zhao. And when they had settled down, they rested in their own courtyards.

On the second day of coming to the courtyard, Nanling Xiao and Nanling Mo took advantage of the gap between everyone going out to play together, and secretly rode their horses to a secluded Zhuangzi not far from the courtyard. Yanqiu was already waiting there, and there were two middle-aged men with slightly gray hair behind him.

"I've seen Miss Childe." Yanqiu did not reveal the identities of the two, so the three of them saw the two of them and asked for peace together. Yanqiu then said: "Master, miss, this one in the blue shirt is Uncle Zhong, and this one is Uncle Li. Both of them are well-known kiln craftsmen in Hongni Town, but the local people don't pay attention to them. The subordinates have invited their family members to help in Zhuangzi, and they have also ordered people to start construction of two kiln holes/holes day and night. ”

Nanling Xiao and Nanling Mo went to see the two caves that had been built together under the guidance of the three of them, and Nanling Mo asked, "Li Bo, Zhong Bo, are you two satisfied with this cave?" The two nodded in unison and said, "Thank you, Miss, for giving the old slave family a way to live." ”

"That being the case, you two are now here to make white porcelain. Here's a picture I made, try to see if you can burn it. Nanling Mo handed the picture to the two, and the two looked at it for a long time, asked some detailed questions, and said with satisfaction: "Miss rest assured, the things that Miss wants will definitely be burned on time." It's just this red clay ......."

"It's all arranged, you just have to concentrate on the cooking. Once you succeed, you will be rewarded. As for your relatives, my son has also arranged it, and I will live in this village, and my son will ask the head of the village to take care of you more, and the wages will be paid to you on time. But there is one thing, at present, this matter can only be burned by the two of you yourself, what to say and what not to say, this son hopes that you understand. ”

"How many days will my eldest brother and I stay here, but I wonder if the two of you will have finished products within three days?" Nanling Mo said casually.

"This ...... Miss, the picture you drew has never been burned, and there is no guarantee that there will be a finished product, but the simple style of the vase should not be a big problem. After looking at each other, Uncle Li and Uncle Li said in unison.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Nan Lingmo nodded, "Yanqiu, there are some other things, eldest brother should want to ask clearly, you come along!" ”

"Yes," Yanqiu followed behind the two and went back to the courtyard together.

Harusawa Zhai

"Yanqiu, can you talk to my eldest brother about the transportation of red mud?"

"Yes, County Lord." Yanqiu whispered the transportation route and plan one by one clearly and concisely, Nanling Xiao was quite satisfied, and said: "Yanqiu, in the past few years by the side of this son, you have really experienced well. But Yanqiu, have you ever thought about regaining your father's dart game? ”

Nanling Mo thought that Yanqiu would agree, but he didn't expect him to shake his head and say, "Shizi, county lord." Subordinates are not born to be dart materials, but their interests lie in doing business. In the past two years, I have learned a lot of business experience from Uncle Jiang's side, and my subordinates are very satisfied. ”

"Don't you want revenge?"

"My subordinates don't want to, since they have broken off their six relatives, why should they cling to the past?" Yanqiu seemed to be thinking about something, "If a subordinate wants to revive the family lintel, he naturally has to focus on the will of his subordinates, so why should he be obsessed with revenge and make himself miserable all day long?" ”

The Nanling Xiao brothers and sisters didn't expect Yanqiu to say such a thing, which surprised them. Especially for Nan Lingmo, the reason why she was reborn was for revenge, in order to clear the grievances of the Zhenguo Mansion, and in order to seek justice for the more than 300 lives of the deceased Zhenguo Prince, it is not easy to give up.

"The shop in Jingzhong has been almost installed before, and it should reopen after the year, and it will be inconvenient for you to come out from time to time in the academy at that time, if there is anything to send a message to me, the rest of the big brother will naturally take care of it for you." Nanling Xiao looked at Nanling Mo dotingly and said.

"Then it's hard brother!" Nanling Mo said with a mischievous salute.

"Yanqiu, do you want to meet Mei Qian?" Nan Lingmo said, "After the third year of junior high school, you have been busy non-stop, and the county lord has already brought Mei Qian to the courtyard." Why don't you two brothers and sisters meet? ”

"There's no need for the county lord, the matter of the kiln has just started, and there are still many things that have not been dealt with in the shops in Beijing, and the little sister has nothing to worry about following the county lord's subordinates, and the subordinates have retired." After saying that, Yanqiu strode out.

"Don't worry, Yanqiu has grown rapidly in the past two years, and you don't have to worry about the shop. The academy will open in a few days, how are you prepared? Nanling Xiao asked with concern.

"Don't worry, big brother, there will definitely be no problem." Nan Lingmo replied confidently, "I will definitely be admitted." ”

"That's good, if you still don't understand any questions in the past two days, just ask Big Brother." Nanling Xiao said softly.

Nan Lingmo nodded, sighing in her heart. She knows very well that Nanling Xiao is a young man who is amazing and gorgeous, and he won the first place in Tongsheng at the age of ten. If it weren't for his poor health, he would have entered the court as an official a long time ago. "Big brother, now that you've come to the hot spring courtyard, you're afraid of the cold, although the hot spring is good, it's not appropriate to soak more, please pay more attention to it."

"Hehe," Nanling Xiao chuckled and shook his head, "In the past, Xi Feng was by my side, always nagging, but now that you have changed, you are the same......"

After two days, Yanqiu sent a pair of simple white porcelain plum bottles fired to the other courtyard to Nanling Xiao and Nanling Mo to see, both of them smacked their tongues after seeing the craftsmanship of the two craftsmen, Nanling Mo did not expect that the porcelain bottle fired by red clay was so good, the color was soft and bright, smooth and clean like jade, and it was not lost to the porcelain of Xishu tribute. After reading it, Nanling Mo nodded and said, "Yanqiu, I am very satisfied with you telling Uncle Li Bozhong that I am very satisfied with this porcelain vase, let them fire a set of them first!" ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

Nanling Mo gave this pair of white porcelain vases to Nanling Xiao and said: "Big brother, this pair of bottles will be given to you, and this porcelain business will have to worry more about the big brother in the future, so of course this pair of fired porcelain vases is the first to please you, big brother!" ”

"Hahaha, okay, big brother will accept it."

Five days later, the group returned to the palace, and as soon as Nanling Mo returned to the courtyard, Mei Xi came up and whispered: "County lord, the slaves and maids have been touched and arranged in the past two days that you are away. You're right, it's okay to eat, it's the lid that is the problem. ”

Nanling Mo sneered and said, "You really look up to me and use such a vicious method." Have you found out who it is? ”

"It's the moon." Mei Xi whispered.

"Picking the moon?? She has always been a rough maid since she entered the palace, and she was transferred to be a third-class maid when the county lord returned to the palace, how could she have always understood such an ingenious method? Nan Lingmo was surprised, "Go check her background, she has no father and no mother, so the collateral relatives must find out." ”

"Yes, the slave will arrange it."

"The county lord, the prince sent a message that the silver tickets used by the people who spent the money were deposited by the money village in Jiangnan, and there was a semicolon in Beijing." Mei Xue came up and whispered.

"It's Jiangnan again, hehe, it seems that he really hates me to the bone." Nan Lingmo sneered, "It's poisoning and buying my life, there are really a lot of tricks." ”

"Go and send a message to the prince, let people recall the appearance of the person who exchanged the silver ticket, it is best to have any characteristic tokens or something, and then hold on to the soldiers, and I will deal with it."

"Yes."

As soon as she came back, Nan Lingmo dealt with these messy things one after another, and she had a headache, so she ate a snack casually and stopped.
