After six days of hard work at the fourth elder brother's place, I finally got out of the customs - in fact, most of the time it was my sister who was working hard, and I was supervising the work on the side - supervising my sister not to write the words well, so that the fourth elder brother would be troublesome to recognize them. In the end, for the sake of insurance, I asked my sister to wait for me to return to the Niu family before handing over the things we copied to the fourth elder brother, and even if he saw anything, he wouldn't be able to catch me at that time.

When I returned to the Niu family, I received a warm welcome from Mrs. Tong, and even the second lady never mentioned that I had slapped her, which shows how strong the Niu family's desire to give me a political marriage is. However, the eldest lady also asked a few words about my sister's condition (mother and daughter), and I casually passed it by.

Mrs. Tong was even more hands-on, insisting on teaching me about the etiquette of the court every day, and striving for perfection in every gesture. Fortunately, her logistics service is quite good, and she supplies me not only with delicacies from the mountains and seas, but also with delicacies every day, so that I swallowed all my grievances against her - eating people with short mouths!

What's even more strange is that the fourth child didn't get very angry when he saw my indiscriminate work, and sent someone to send someone I didn't expect-Tian Tian, saying that it was the maid who was originally serving me in the Sibeile Mansion and gave it to me to continue. It turned out that the person who picked up Tiantian that day was the fourth, and it must have been the day when I said that I was saving people. He didn't say a word about it in the Four Baylor Mansion, and only now did he send someone to me, what a deep scheming! Could it be that at that time he knew about me and Yinxiang, how long had he been staring at us?

However, I have to say that the fourth child did a good deed, and it is not good to be in the Hou Mansion compound without a caring person. What's more, after this period of training, Tiantian is more beautiful than me, which is really a rare good helper.

In the blink of an eye, the sky in the capital began to drift with snow, and the plum blossoms in the courtyard were about to bud. I stood quietly in the snow in my luxurious fox fur coat - I had been in this dynasty for almost a year, and the modern life of the twenty-first century was getting farther and farther away from me, but I was getting more and more accustomed to ancient life. After Mrs. Tong's careful construction, I am now a standard style head from my hair to my toes, how can I have half a shadow of Zhang Xiaoying's heroic posture back then? I can't go back, I really can't go back!

With my current status, I am destined to marry a certain elder brother. That is to say, in the future, I will not only have to accept a large group of big wives and small wives that he already has, but also a steady stream of latecomers. I can't say no, in such a society, I can already be considered a traitor after drinking once, let alone not allowing my husband to take a concubine. Fortunately, I have been heartbroken by him in the 21st century, and I have no more desire for affection in this life.

"Gege, Gege!" The maid Sister Qiao (Sister Qiao is a maid specially sent by Mrs. Tong to serve me) saw me standing in the snow in a daze, startled, and quickly helped me back: "Gege himself is more important, if he suffers from the cold, the slave and maid will be punished small, and Gege must focus on his body!" ”

Yes, my body is tied to the lifeblood of the Niu family in the future, of course I have to take care. I ignored her persuasion and asked myself, "Does Grandma have any other instructions?" ”

"If you go back to Gege, there is nothing else, just Gege, you take the time to try on new clothes, pick up some jewelry or something." Alas! Mrs. Tong's actions remind me all the time of the fact that I am just a pawn.

"You go and tell grandma that I will choose the clothes and jewelry for entering the palace." Even if it's for the sake of my life for decades to come, I'm going to have to be prepared this time – even if my goal isn't the Eighth Brother.

"Tiantian," as soon as I walked into the house, I said to the girl who was lighting a fire to keep me warm, "Dare to accompany me to the Splendid Workshop, I will choose the clothes myself." "The harem is full of beauties, competing for beauty, although my appearance is not bad, it is not easy to stand out. If you want to make a splash, you can only be surprised.

Mrs. Tong immediately agreed to my approach, and I immediately started to do it the next day. The color must be plain, compared to the glamorous Fujin Gege, the elegant outfit can stand out - but not white, first, the queen mother and her old man have always liked festivity, and they will not like white; It's that white is too tall and easy to be targeted. "The base is dark green, the lining is light green, the cloak is azure, and all the jewelry is made of jasper jade."

"Miss, wouldn't this be too monotonous and dull!" Tian Tian said worriedly: "Otherwise, I will use this pink one for my shoulders, which is especially suitable for you!" ”

"Okay, you don't understand, what I want is not a momentary surprise, I want to show the connotation." Looking at her confused eyes, I knew that she couldn't understand these modern words, so I explained them one by one: "The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there is the incident of Concubine Dong E's seizure of favor back then, she will not like women who are too charming and beautiful (she herself was not very beautiful back then, and she lost her husband, how could she like other beauties?) Even when I was in Zhang Xiaoying's time, because I was unkempt, I also sneered at the modern girl with exquisite makeup - who doesn't have a jealous heart? ）

"No matter how beautiful you are, the Queen Mother is good on the surface, but she will scold the fox behind her back." I patiently taught my future helper: "So-"

"So Miss wants to vote for the Queen Mother's favor and build herself into a lord who is as old as the Queen Mother, silent and introverted, right?" Tian Tian is really a little bit clear, much smarter than when she was in Yangzhou, probably a lot more experienced.

"It's so smart, so that the Queen Mother will really pity me in her heart!" I hope I can use this to leave a good impression on the Queen Mother, and I can point out a slightly better marriage in the future.

"The embroidery on the clothes should also be embroidered with threads of the same color, not any peonies, lilies, and bamboo."

"Miss, give me the shoes! I can embroider blue and white. Tian Tian volunteered.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Forbidden City, I didn't have time to take a good look at you when I was studying in Beijing, but I didn't expect to be reborn from the dead, but I had the opportunity to see your mysterious veil, or completely undestroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, I am so happy.
