Chapter 150: Rivals

Remember [78] in one second., wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

In the early winter of this year, the snow in Ling Tian City seemed to be denser than in previous years, the snow had not yet melted the day before yesterday, and new snow had fallen again.

Fortunately, it was not very big, and it was all sprinkled, so that the carriages, horses and pedestrians slowed down. Less of the usual rush and busyness, more leisure.

There was an endless stream of vehicles entering the city from the south gate, among which there was a two-horse car, sandwiched among the many vehicles, slowly entering the city.

The car was not very conspicuous, and the curtains were tightly covered, even as the car swayed, there was not a single gap.

The driver of the chauffeur did not squint, as if it were a stone carving, because the horses driving were so docile that they hardly had to be driven by him.

Sandwiched between many ornate carriages, this car is ordinary and ordinary, but there is a faint temperament that cannot be ignored.

"Miss, it's been ten years, and we're finally back in Ling Tian City!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old beautiful maid in the carriage said happily: "If the old lady sees the young lady, she must be very happy." ”

"I've been away from home for so long, I don't know what my father's health is, I'm so unfilial." The woman who was called Miss sighed without a trace, her voice was extremely pleasant, like the sound of the water flowing in the glacial river, cold and slightly sweet.

"Miss, is your stove still hot? I'll add two more pieces of charcoal to you! The little maid asked earnestly.

"No, I'm going to get to the house soon," said the young lady, "but you, when you get off the bus in a while, put on your clothes more tightly and don't get caught in the wind." ”

"I'm not afraid of the wind," the little girl said with a smile: "There is a goddess doctor with Miss, and the medicine for minor illnesses and pains will be cured." ”

"You're so naughty, how can I be so good at medicine?" The young lady said with some disgust: "What's more, even if it can really cure the disease, how can it not be sick?" ”

"Miss's words are all right, but this sentence may not be right," the little maid shook her head and said, "I remember when I was on the mountain, how many people did not hesitate to freeze themselves in order to let Miss treat them." ”

"Those are all fools, what do you want them to do?" The young lady's expression was visibly displeased, and she seemed reluctant to mention those people.

The little maid stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and regretted her speech. But she had a lively temperament, and after a while she put this unhappiness behind her.

Keep chattering, like a little sparrow just out of the nest.

"Miss, if the dignitaries in Ling Tian City know that you are back, I don't know how many people will come to the door to propose! I'm afraid that the threshold of welfare will be broken in three months. The little maid said happily.

"Mei Xiang, you can't say this again in the future," although the woman's voice was gentle, the meaning of the warning was very obvious: "This Ling Tian City is not as good as being in the mountains, and the rules in the mansion are very great, you must not make mistakes." Don't talk nonsense about these words, the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and it is not good for you after all. ”

"I see, miss," Mei Xiang nodded hurriedly, "No more nonsense." As soon as she thought of the faces of those stewards in the house, the little maid couldn't help but tremble.

"You don't have to be too nervous," the woman comforted her with a gentle smile: "If you look at everything more and talk less, you won't suffer, just remember to follow the rules in everything." ”

"Miss, why didn't we see Master Yun Bing when we went down the mountain? Her heart is really hard, she has been a master and apprentice with Miss for ten years, and now when she goes down the mountain at parting, she can bear not to see the last face. There was a hint of resentment in Mei Xiang's tone.

"Master doesn't say goodbye to me, so naturally she has a reason. She was a master of the world, not bound by the world, and as soon as I left, I don't know what year and month I would be able to see her again, I think she couldn't bear it, so she hid and didn't let me resign from her. The woman's tone was full of reverence and understanding for her master.

"Miss, you are Master Yun Bing's most proud disciple, when you insisted on going up the mountain to apprentice, how many people objected, only the master supported you, and now that you have returned from study, the master should be the most gratifying."

"My father has always raised me as a boy, and my family is thin, so as a daughter-in-law, I naturally want to help my father share his worries, which is my duty. It is only natural for children to serve their parents as courtiers serve the monarch. The woman said eloquently, and Mei Xiang showed a look of reverence.

The young lady of his family has always been like this, she knows the general situation, takes the overall situation into account, and knows how to read and etiquette, and her appearance is marked, I am afraid that I will never find a better woman in this world than her young lady.

"Miss, although you dislike Mei Xiang is too talkative, but Mei Xiang still has to say more," the little maid couldn't help but say: "Miss Shaohua is in his prime, this time back to Ling Tiancheng, whether you want to or not, the lord will definitely choose the next family business for you, looking at the entire Ling Tiancheng, there are only two or three people who can match with Miss, one is Yuwen Zhengji, the richest man in Great Qin, one is Prince Ruyi, and the other is Prince Zhaojing, according to the knowledge of the slave, Prince Zhaojing is the most suitable." ”

"You girl is really crazy," the woman interrupted Mei Xiang, "How can this be said by a girl's family?" ”

"What are you afraid of, anyway, there is no one else," Mei Xiang shook her little head and said: "Miss, I heard that the marriage branch of Prince Zhaojing has not sprouted for ten years, and it has actually produced buds since this year, isn't this just the right time for you to return to the city?" Otherwise, why didn't it germinate for a long time, didn't germinate early, but sprouted this year? ”

"You must not say these words again," the woman's tone became a little more serious, "let people hear about it, and I don't know what rumors will come out." ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth, Miss is really, this is obviously a good thing, why don't you let yourself say it?

The carriage walked unhurriedly through the streets, and finally stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Several gatekeepers came out to check, and one of the oldest recognized the coachman at a glance, so he hurriedly ordered the people next to him: "Hurry in and tell the prime minister and the lady that the young lady is back." ”

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted by a pair of slender hands, and the first to get out of the car was a beautiful little girl, combed with double buns, wearing a cotton robe inlaid with rabbit fur in light blue, a pair of eyes were crooked, and she seemed to be laughing when she was not smiling.

After the little maid got out of the car, she stood firmly and turned around and handed over the young lady who was supporting the car with both hands.

A pair of plain hands with even flesh and bones were handed to Mei Xiang's hands, followed by a pair of jade-colored embroidered shoes, delicate and delicate, like lotus petals.

When her face was revealed, the sky seemed to clear all at once.

This is really a rare beauty, graceful, temperamental, natural beauty is extremely beautiful, and what is even more unforgettable is that there is a little red cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which adds three points of enchantment to her.

This person is Xiao Liuli, the daughter of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.
