Qin Qing's rental contract was about to arrive, but during this time, Gu Mansion celebrated Master Gu's promotion, and secondly, Gu Xiyan was going to participate in the selection of concubines, so he was so busy that no one went to Aunt Qin to talk about it. Regarding Gu Xiyan's proposal, although Mrs. Gu said that she was against it, she actually thought it was reasonable in her heart. Which of those men doesn't say benevolence, righteousness and morality in their mouths, when they meet that beautiful woman, who cares what your background is, hold it in your arms and don't let go...... I think back then, Gu Chaorong was still a female official when he entered the palace, and the rules of the Xizhao Dynasty were that female officials were not allowed to enter the palace as concubines, what happened in the end, such a cowardly emperor, he never said a word in front of the queen mother in his life, and he didn't desperately accommodate Gu Chao into the harem, and in just five or six years, he went from a seven-grade selection to the imperial concubine. In the nearly 300-year history of Emperor Xizhao, only five women have enjoyed this honor...... Thinking about Gu Chaorong's appearance and posture, it is not as good as the second girl Gu Xiyan...... Maybe the girl from the Gu family has this talent......

And so it was settled.

Mama Tian brought a gift and went to tell everyone Qin, and everyone Qin agreed very happily.

Gu Xiyan was greatly taken aback when she saw Qin Qing for the first time, she and Gu Xiyan's imaginary amorous style were completely incompatible.

Qin Qing is very tall, a head taller than Gu Xiyan, her figure is very thin, her relative curves are not so exquisite, she has a goose egg face, very high sideburns, sparse eyebrows, big eyes, a very high nose bridge, a little thick lips, very good skin, fair, ruddy and shiny, which makes her person look very lively and energetic.

Aunt Qin was also taken aback when she saw Gu Xiyan. There is no doubt that her appearance is outstanding, and her posture is so beautiful that she did not expect. Extremely slender legs, enlarged breasts, thin waist and hips, such a woman is rare in the Jiangnan Fengyue field, what makes her feel special is the temperament of the second girl of Gu Fu, there is no difference in raising in the deep boudoir, nor the arrogance of the Gaomen clan, the bright eyes are sparkling, gorgeous as the spring flowers in March, the corners of the curved mouth are silent and smiling, cordial as the winter in the cold nine miles, and the whole body reveals a sweet and soft atmosphere.

She asked suspiciously: "The girl's body is not one in a thousand, but also one in a thousand, why do you have to ......?"

Gu Xiyan blinked his big eyes and smiled: "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, outside the building, who can say the things in this world clearly." Aunt Qin doesn't need to be restrained, just pass on some secret recipes to me, I promise that I will only use them for myself, and I will never pass them on. Her words were generous and her appearance was pretty, which made Aunt Qin laugh: "Look at what the girl said, my little insect carving skills, as long as the girl can afford it." ”

Mama Tian saw that the matter was done, and made an excuse to leave, Aunt Qin led Gu Xiyan into a bathroom, Mo Ju waited on the side, first gave Gu Xiyan a fragrant soup bath mixed with roses and lily petals, and then gave her a kind of oil massage with the scent of grass, which is quite a bit of a modern SPA mold. After washing, he instructed Gu Xiyan: "Come once a day, and after seven days, it will gradually have an effect." ”

Gu Xiyan had neither the opportunity nor the money to enjoy it like this before, so he pulled Aunt Qin's sleeve and made a childish gesture: "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, and auntie might as well pass on the secret recipe to me." ”

Aunt Qin smiled silently.

Since then, Gu Xiyan has come every day, chatting with Aunt Qin when taking a bath, and talking about some beauty tips that she has heard before, Aunt Qin gradually introduced Gu Xiyan as a confidant: "There are no ugly women in the world, they are all three points of talent and seven points of dress." Some women think that there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly, and they disdain this decoration, and the rhyme is lost, the shape is like a withered thread, and no matter how knowledgeable, it is also a yellowing bead......"

Gu Xiyan laughed, remembering Cui Baoyi's words next door: "Treat people with color, and love when color declines." A woman's foundation is wisdom and learning. Only with wisdom and talent can a woman shine across the long river of time......"

These two women, one teaches and teaches the Tao like a famous ling, and the other blows and plays and sings like a professor...... What two interesting people.

From the bottom of her heart, Gu Xiyan is more willing to come to Aunt Qin and learn from her how to make fat powder from rice, how to make pancreas with caustic soda, and how to make lipstick from petals in a fragrant atmosphere...... It's like playing house, everything is fun and fresh.

Cui Baoyi still goes there every three days, and once Cui Baoyi suddenly asked her in the middle of her speech: "What does the second girl think is the most important thing in this world?" ”

Gu Xiyan replied without thinking: "Of course it's family!" ”

As soon as she finished answering, she was stunned.

Where are your family, your own family?

The Gu family is so complicated, Master Gu is so dirty, such a family, do you have the confidence to get along with them?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan added: "There is also wisdom! ”

Yes, what I need most now is not my family, but wisdom and strategy.

There's one more big thing waiting to be decided by yourself!

Cui Baoyi nodded, did not comment, and continued to lecture.

Gu Xiyan was in a trance for a while, and quickly reined in his thoughts, threw this question into his mind, and listened carefully to Cui Baoyi's commentary on the Analects.

Speaking from the heart, Cui Baoyi's Analects are difficult to understand, and they are not as good as those of her college professors. As soon as it was time for the end of class, she couldn't wait to say goodbye to Cui Baoyi, and she was going to go to Aunt Qin in the afternoon to see if the fat powder she made by herself was lumpy.

Gu Xiyan took a step forward, and a woman wearing a light purple hat and wearing a Wei purple dress walked out from behind Xiao Xuan's bookshelf, and Cui Baoyi respectfully saluted the woman: "This one who was in class just now is the second girl from Gu Mansion." ”

The woman whispered, "There is Aunt Lao Cui", and then walked out of Daoxiang Xiaoxuan with light steps.

There was a carriage parked outside the door, with a simple green curtain, majestic and sturdy horses, and a calm and restrained groom. Seeing the woman in purple come out, a stunning woman jumped out of the blue-curtained carriage, with hair like crows, face like spring flowers, and eyes like autumn water, it turned out to be the comb moon that Gu Xiyan had met that day. Comb Yue took a footstool and waited for the purple-clothed woman to get into the carriage, and the coachman whipped a whip in the air, and the carriage began to gallop out of the alley of the Gu family.

In the carriage, the woman in purple had already taken off her hat, her snow skin was icy, her eyes were bright, and her eyes were shining brightly, even the brightest gem in the world was about to be robbed of her brilliance, and the comb moon sitting beside her immediately turned into vulgar powder.

Comb Yue took the hat of the woman in purple, and frowned slightly: "Girl, is this good?" I don't think that Gu girl has even ...... the girl's appearance."

Who else can make Comb Yue shout "girl", except Fang Shaoying.

Fang Shaoying closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows, leaning on the pillow with a somewhat tired expression.

Amid the sound of the carriage and horses, her thoughts drifted far away...... The cold plums bloomed in the imperial garden, and she and Comb Yue went to pick the first plum for the Queen Mother, and there was a low laugh from time to time between the light fragrance and sparse shadows...... The high peach woman wearing a navy blue palace robe has an ordinary and ordinary face, always with a kind and warm smile, and the fifth prince Yang Yu walks on the snow and laughs...... Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, chanting to the plum vase, 'plum blossoms are still with snow, and I haven't tried spring clothes', Yang Yu's face like the first snow gradually melted in the chanting, like a wisp of wind in spring, but it made her heart hurt like being cut by a knife...... All of this was on the tip of her heart...... A of the Shang Yi Division, how dare to ......

Fang Shaoying's hand hidden in the sleeve gradually tightened, and her nails hurt in the palm of her hand.

Everything in the world is the same, blocking, it is better to sparse ...... It's better to block than to sparse......

Fang Shaoying said to herself over and over again, her hand gradually loosened, let go...... Gu Xiyan has the same soft and sweet temperament, but she is a hundred times more beautiful than her...... Yang Yu, don't you like it, then let me see how much you like it......

When she saw her girl's thoughtful and uncertain appearance, she knew that she was thinking about things and didn't dare to disturb.

These days, she has followed Fang Shaoying to run from east to west, and met with all the girls who are qualified to participate in the selection of concubines...... The girl is most optimistic about the second girl of the Gu family and the fourth girl of the Qin family's family in the east of the city.

But why?

Comb Yue shook her head in confusion, and muttered out in her mouth: "Girl, I still don't understand, isn't it difficult for the girl to answer that the most important thing is 'loyalty'?" ”

Fang Shaoying sighed secretly, she still has one less helper! Lian Fanghua didn't answer badly, but answered too well...... went to Xiaoxiang Girls' School to study, a well-arranged chance encounter, and answered confidently...... It's too much, it's too obvious......

She opened her eyes and saw that Comb Yue was looking directly at her, full of trust, and her heart couldn't help but be sour. I'm about to enter the palace, and there will be a lot fewer opportunities for everyone to meet in the future, although Comb Yue is outstanding, but her temperament is too straightforward, otherwise, it is not impossible to let her enter the palace to be a female official...... I'm going to have to find a way out for her......

Fang Shaoying groaned: "Comb Yue, I want to marry you to the Xu family, ......what do you mean?"

"The Xu family?" Comb Yue was not confused, "Which Xu family?" ”

Fang Shaoying said word by word: "Lord Xu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Ahh Comb Yue was surprised, "Lord Xu, did you write "Night Stay in Lingnan"? ”

Fang Shaoying nodded.

Comb Yue's face turned crimson, and she lowered her head shyly.

Fang Shaoying said: "Although you are a concubine, you are beautiful and proficient in poetry, so you can add love to Lord Xu with literature." Old husband and young wife, Lord Xu will definitely love you...... If you give birth to a boy and a girl, I will definitely make the decision for you when the time comes......"

Comb Yue lowered her head, and only after a while did she murmur: "Slave, slave and maid, all depend on the girl." ”

Fang Shaoying let out a long sigh of relief.

Brother did such a lack of morality, the Xu family is now shocked and angry, once the matter passes, with Xu Zhen's old scheming, he will inevitably investigate the source, and when the time comes, I don't know what kind of action will be made. Although the Fang family was not afraid of him, why force others to jump over the wall...... That day, he met Xu Zhen in the small garden of his family, and his eyes burned like the sun when he saw the moon......

Fang Shaoying smiled sarcastically.

Let's hope this move is the right one. When the time comes, it will be able to make up for the two departments...... and the shiso that my brother wants to marry, why does he look so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, and his demeanor is generous and decent, not like the daughter of a little Jiupin Si Prison at all......

Comb Yue knew that Fang Shaoying's entry into the palace had been arranged a long time ago, and she was different from other family girls' personal maids who could be accepted by her future aunt, and the girl was going to enter the palace when she grew up, and she couldn't take her maidservants privately when she entered the palace. But since he was married, the Ninth Young Master often used excuses to pester her, and he lay on her bed two days ago regardless of etiquette...... Everyone knows what it means, but the Ninth Young Master is a person who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and comes to everything, and the Ninth Young Grandma is not a person who can tolerate people. She has always been worried about Fang Shaoying's way out after entering the palace...... Although Xu Zhen is almost thirty years older than himself, he is a person of merit and fame, and he is also known to be honest as an official, which is better than following the Ninth Young Master...... Comb Moon kept comforting herself.
