Thirty-two, the princess of the palace

"Okay, just let my eunuch and palace maid follow Mama Hua in, and they have followed me for the past few years," Li Yi said busily.

The princess didn't even look at the eunuch and the palace maid, and then agreed.

Yan Ran and Shu Yu can't help but feel sad for this Li Qian's concubines at this time, they have such an irresponsible father, they haven't even seen their daughter's face a few times, and so is this mother-in-law, it's just a routine greeting, I'm afraid that I haven't even seen these concubines and concubines, but I just set aside a piece of silver to support them every month.

Yanran glanced at 138 and looked at Shu Yu and pursed her mouth, obviously angry, because Mama Hua had Mama Li and the princess's eldest maid, she didn't say anything, she just gave Shu Yu and Yan Ran a look.

Mama Li gathered the age-appropriate concubines and their biological mothers into the flower hall, counted them, there were seven young ladies and six aunts, and said: "Today, the Holy One is merciful, and I want to propose marriage for you, you are all dressed up, and after a while, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will personally come to pick someone." ”

"Ouch, Mama Li, I don't know who the other party is? I also want today's saint to personally point out the marriage, but even if he personally points to the marriage, there is no reason to point to a concubine, and I hope that Mama Li will say it in detail. "An aunt hurriedly pulled off the golden hairpin on her head and secretly stuffed it into Mama Li's hand.

"I heard that the other party is the Lin family of the five-grade righteous official, and the groom came back from studying abroad, although it is only the fame of a showman, but he is the uncle of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, where else can he go? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and whether you can seize it or not depends on your creation. ”

"I've been happy for a long time, it turned out to be just a five-grade righteous official's family, and the poor sour show is that in the future, I won't be able to live on a little ancestral property in my family, if it's a good one, can the emperor think of us?" Another aunt pouted disdainfully.

Yan Ran suddenly opened her mouth and said sweetly: "I once followed our master to the Lin family, and this Lin family is not as unbearable as you think." ”

At this time, these six aunts suddenly surrounded Yan Ran and asked, "Tell me quickly, what is their family like?" How many children do you have in your family, is your family wealthy? ”

"The Lin family has four sons and a daughter, the eldest 2 has already married, these four sons, all of them have been abroad, therefore, it also cost the family a huge amount of money, especially this third child, he was not admitted to the public school of the national eunuch, and threatened to go to the West to see even if he spent the dowry of marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, he also wanted to go to the West to see, no, now I heard that I have come back from school, I heard that I am planning to start from scratch, I originally wanted to wait until I have saved enough money for my daughter-in-law to marry, but our master is in a hurry to get married, and I can't wait for him to make money slowly. However, where is the daughter of an ordinary official eunuch to find for a while, the emperor thought of ideas for him, and then he thought of the young ladies. ”

"So that's the case, and there's no incense anymore, so I'll just say, where is there such a good thing?" Yan Ran's side retreated from the two aunts for a while.

Actually, it's no wonder that they are lonely and unheard, the women in this backyard don't have much knowledge, plus their background, they are either maids or small families, but they are a little bit of a look by Li Qianxiang and brought into the palace, such an identity is destined to their isolation from the outside world, so what Yanran said, of course they believed it.

"However, I heard our master say that although the Lin family is not rich and expensive, but it is also worry-free, the third child of the Lin family, I heard that he is the most ambitious, what to go with their classmates, what factory to open in Songjiang Mansion, I heard that this factory, to open to some remote mountains, therefore, the Lin family will be anxious to let him get married, and there is someone around him to serve him."

After Yanran finished speaking, she stared at these aunts, two of them, and after saying a few words, she also flinched, so that there were only two aunts around Yanran.

Shu Yu stared at these young ladies, he also took a fancy to two, these two girls, they didn't have any special reaction to Yanran's words, their expressions were indifferent, as if they were thinking about something.

Suddenly, I saw one of the younger ones say to the older one: "Fourth sister, why don't you go, I'm still two years younger, you can't wait." You listen to your sister's words, since the daughter of the Lin family can marry into the royal family, she is not an ordinary family. Moreover, you haven't heard that the boys of the Lin family have all gone abroad, and their knowledge is naturally different, and those rich sons who only rely on the family property left by their ancestors to live a bad life, and serious good people, will not be able to take our turn, this son of the Lin family, after all, is a righteous person, is an ambitious person, and wants to create a career with his own ability. Whenever I can go out, I will go out early, and it is better to see the outside world than to sit in this courtyard all day long, and only see a small piece of sky overhead. ”

At this time, the fourth sister said: "Eighth sister, my sister knows your mind, and you are also tempted, such opportunities are not common, and the fourth sister can't be so selfish." I only hate, born in this palace, no one at all, if I had a choice, I would rather be reincarnated in a farmhouse, just ask for food and clothing, but also my father loves my mother, where is like now, in the past 17 years since I was born, I have only seen my father twice, and my aunt also left me early. ”

"Because of this, you should seize this opportunity, I still have my aunt's love, what about you? You are seventeen now, and if you don't marry, do you really have to stay in this courtyard wall for the rest of your life? "Miss Eight is in a hurry.

Shu Yu looked at Yanran, he really had a bad choice for a while. The big one is pitiful, and the small one is also sensible.

At this time, I saw an aunt come over, took the hand of the eighth lady, retreated to the corner of the wall, and scolded: "You dead girl, what are you marrying, the old lady worked hard to give birth to you, is it for you to suffer hardship?" I also point to this, in the future, you can pick up a tall branch, fly long and far up the branch, and take some of your unsuccessful brother with you. Otherwise, who else could I point to? ”

Yanran shook her head, walked up to the fourth lady, and asked, "Miss is really willing to marry into the Lin family?" But if you think about it, even if it is a golden hairpin cloth skirt and eating bran vegetables, it is wrong, it is wrong, it is not enough to eat bran vegetables, and there is always a bowl of full rice. ”

The fourth lady looked at Miss Eight, and Miss Eight was grabbed by her biological mother, and then said, "I am willing, but I don't know if the Lin family can look down on me?" My aunt left five years ago, I only know a few words, I don't know any piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, my mother, only taught me some housekeeping skills, but I haven't tried it. I don't know anything else, oh, yes, I can cook and do laundry, I do this myself. ”

Yanran grabbed her hand, there was really a callus on her hand, and she couldn't help but be very strange, "Don't you have a maid?" ”

The fourth lady bowed her head and was silent, Yanran sighed, thinking that she had no biological mother, and she didn't even want to see the maid, and she had to cook and wash her own clothes.

"What did your birth mother do before?" Mama Hua asked suddenly.

"My biological mother, who used to be the daughter of a declining official family, only because of an accident at home, had to enter the palace, and was depressed all day long, so she left me early, my mother, she, very bitter, often said to me, in fact, if she had a choice, she would rather give up all this, even if she married into a peasant family, and worked hard for three meals a day every day, it was better than waiting for death all day long." Speaking of which, the fourth lady's eyes were full of tears.

"Then why did you refuse, and this will happen again?" Yanran asked.

"I know, such an opportunity is rare, and the eighth sister also thinks about it, the eighth sister is the only warmth I have in this palace, and I can't ignore her."

"Fourth Miss, you still care about others, don't be sold and help count the money, you still take care of yourself." Mama Li said a word.

After Mama Li finished speaking, she whispered to Mama Hua: "It's not my wife boasting, this child is indeed a bitter but painful person, her biological mother is a sick man, her heart is higher than the sky and her life is thinner than paper, that little moon silver, filling in the medicine money is not enough, it is all up to the young lady to take the personal maid to do some needlework and secretly sell it, in exchange for some supplements, otherwise, it will not last at that time." Our master thinks she is hard-hearted, and he refuses to see her, no, now, seventeen, only to the point where no one cares. ”

"Your biological mother is a young lady from the official family, why didn't she teach you some piano and chess 138 read the book Yu Yu asked.

"Back then, her biological mother was caught by our prince because she played the piano well, so she swore that she would never let her daughter touch the strings, and she would end up with the same fate as her in the future, only teaching her daughter some basic life skills, and in the future, if the child falls down one day, she can also have something to eat." Mama Li seems to be quite sympathetic to the background of these four young ladies.

"Dare to ask Miss's name?" Yanran asked.

"You are a maid, why do you ask the name of our fourth sister?" There was a young lady next to him who said.

"Ask for our master." Yanran replied generously.

"It's okay, my name is Li Ping, Ping of duckweed." Li Ping also said generously.

At this time, Li Yi came in, among these individuals, few people have seen Li Yi, Li Yi looked at a few young ladies and said: "I really don't know, my cousin of the uncle Wang's family is really a lot." ”

Mama Li said: "This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, still don't you salute?" ”

"No, it's all a family, you don't need to see outside. It's okay to call me a second brother. ”

"Second brother, do you remember the eighth sister and me? That year, you entered the house and gave a birthday gift to our mother, and I accidentally bumped into it, I was scolded by my mother for a long time, or did the second brother intercede for me? Miss Eight saw Li Yi and hurriedly rushed to her.

Yanran shook her head at Shu Yu, Shu Yu nodded to Mama Hua, Mama Hua naturally knew what it meant, and said to Li Yi: "Master, the person has been chosen, it is these four young ladies, and please explain to the princess." ”

Mama Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes when she heard this, and everyone turned around and walked out, at this time, Yanran suddenly whispered a few words to Mama Hua, and Mama Hua asked Mama Li: "Dare to ask what kind of temperament this eighth lady is?" "To be continued.
