Jiang Shuqi did not answer Jiang Shuli's question, but straightened his back, looked at the old lady with a smile and dignity.

The old lady looked at the granddaughters one by one kindly, and her eyes fell on the neatly cut window flower paper-cut on the table, "Well cut, all well cut." ”

"This blessing word is cut by Shuxue?" She smiled and picked up the slightly rough window flower and teased Jiang Shuxue.

"Back to my grandmother, it was cut by Shuxue herself." Jiang Shuxue raised her head happily, her white little face full of pride.

"That's good!" The old lady couldn't help but bend down and touch Jiang Shuxue's fleshy face, straightened up and said, "It's not early, I will have lunch at my grandmother's place and then go back to rest." ”

Jiang Shuqi was the first to respond, stepped forward to grab the old lady's arm, walked to the dining room, and said with a smile, "Grandmother's meal here is the best." ”

"The second sister said this, it must be the four happy balls from my grandmother," Jiang Shumiao said wittily, "A while ago, the second sister was still talking about not eating the four happy balls for a few days!" ”

The old lady laughed happily when she heard this, and Mama Li on the side hurriedly said, "Old lady, there are four happy balls for lunch, which the second lady likes." ”

The group sat down with a smile, and the old lady looked at her granddaughters with satisfaction, "This year's New Year is approaching, and the college and the clan school are on vacation, and it is a good thing that the sisters have time to get together." ”

She looked at Jiang Shuli and Jiang Shuxin, "Shuli and Shuxin's results in the final exam of Lanshan College are quite good, and they deserve to be commended. ”

looked at Jiang Shumiao and Jiang Shuqing again, "Shumiao and Shuqing are also working hard in ethnology, especially Shuqing, this time they won the first place in ethnology, and they did a good job." ”

"You two sisters are eight years old this year, and you can take the entrance exam of Lanshan College after staying for more than a year," the old lady said with satisfaction and severity in her eyes, "Remember to guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to study well." ”

Jiang Shumiao and Jiang Shuqing hurriedly got up and respectfully agreed.

"As for Shuqi," Jiang Shuqi, who was named, hurriedly got up and stood upright and bowed his head slightly to listen, and the old lady said with satisfaction, "In the past few months, I have also performed very well in learning the rules in the house, and my grandmother is very satisfied." ”

"After the beginning of spring after the New Year, Shuqi, you can go back to school together."

Jiang Shuqi's eyes lit up, and he bowed happily in response, "Shuqi thanked Grandmother!" ”

"Grandmother," Jiang Shuqi saw that the old lady was in a good mood, and whispered with his fingers, "Shuqi has a request......

When the old lady heard this, she asked with a smile, "What request?" ”

Jiang Shuqi paused, a little nervous, "Shuqi wants to go to the palace together to pay New Year's greetings." ”

The old lady looked directly at Jiang Shuqi, did not immediately respond to her request, and said slowly after a long silence, "Shuqi, if you enter the palace again, are you sure that you will not make a mistake?" ”

Jiang Shuqi felt hopeful, and nodded busily, "My granddaughter promises that nothing will go wrong." ”

"You," the old lady let out a long sigh and instructed, "you must know that it is not only you who represent outside, but also your sisters, and the face of the Hou Mansion. ”

The granddaughters hurriedly got up and looked up.

"The truth of both prosperity and loss should be understood without grandmother teaching you."

The old lady had a serious face, "In another year or two, it will be time for you to discuss marriage." Your every move outside is in the spotlight, and you must not ruin your own reputation, your sister's reputation, or the reputation of the Hou Mansion for the sake of momentary anger. ”

The tone of these words was quite heavy, and Jiang Shuqi was even more nervous when he heard it, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Shuqi," the old lady looked at her, "you can get up from where you fall, and grandmother will allow you to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings together." ”

In front of Yuning Palace.

Xue Shi knelt honestly for half an hour, but he was still not announced to the palace to meet Concubine Shu.

Since the embroidered tribute meeting, Xue Shi has repeatedly asked to see Shuguifei without success, and today Shuguifei announced his entry into the palace, and couldn't help but have all kinds of thoughts in his mind.

Magnolia Fang's business has become more and more depressed recently, and the noble mansions of various families have basically not placed any more orders, all relying on the second place in the embroidered tribute meeting, and the royal family has no more orders to support.

To say that the royal family's order is also reluctantly thrown to Yulanfang for the ranking of the embroidered tribute society, most of them are the clothes of the concubines who have fallen out of favor, which is really frustrating.

He was full of ambition, and he planned to hug the big tree of Concubine Shu to show his strength!

How do you know that Concubine Shugui's mind is unpredictable, and she actually turned against Yingyue Lou at the embroidery tribute meeting, and he didn't understand this matter for a month.

Is it the unpredictable mind of the superior, or does Concubine Shu have other plans?

He pondered and pondered, and finally heard the sound of the passage into the temple.

"Shopkeeper Xue has been in contact with Roche recently?"

Concubine Shu looked at Ko Dan slowly, glanced at Xue Shi, and asked lazily.

Xue Shi hurriedly responded, "Back to the concubine Niangniang, the little one has not been in contact with the Luo family recently, but he is very clear about the situation of the Luo family. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Shu was quite satisfied, and the corners of her mouth hooked, "Then talk to the palace." ”

"Roche is now more than five months pregnant......"

Xue Shi sent out the news of the inquiry one by one, and carefully observed Concubine Shu's expression.

After hearing this, Concubine Shu was silent for a long time, and only after Xue Shi waited until his back was soaked, did she say slowly, "Steward Xue has recently resumed contact with the Luo family." ”

"This ......" Xue Shi was a little confused, and said tentatively, "I don't know how to do it specifically if the concubine needs to be small?" ”

Concubine Shu glanced at him and moved her lips, "At least three or four times a month, I have to exchange letters at least three or four times a month, as for what to say, with the relationship between Steward Xue and Luo's family, does this still need to be taught by this palace?" ”

Xue Shi suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "Guifei Niangniang, what do you mean?" ”

"Say whatever you need to say, this palace is lacking, go down."

Xue Shi was full of confusion, but Concubine Shu was obviously unwilling to give out her bottom thoughts, so he could only respond first, "May I ask Concubine Niangniang, how long will the little one keep in touch with the Luo family?" ”

"Just ......," Shuguifei smiled weirdly, "until she gives birth." ”

After Xue Shi left, Concubine Shu's personal mother was puzzled, "Concubine Niangniang, didn't you say that the fetus in Luo's womb can't be kept?" If you stay, I'm afraid you will become the grandson of the Marquis of Changning in the future. ”

Concubine Shu smiled, "That's exactly what I planned. ”

She stood up, walked gracefully to the window, picked up a plum blossom and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, "It's just that this palace believes in Buddhism and has the virtue of a good life, so I changed my mind at this time." ”

"Niangniang means ......," Mama asked.

Concubine Shu stretched out her hand to pinch off a plum blossom and said with a smile, "Mama also knows that in the countryside Zhuangzi, Xue Shike had an unclear relationship with my sister. You say, once this matter is known to the Marquis of Changning, what will happen? ”

She smiled meaningfully.
