Although the Lin family has left, Lin Ziwan still has lingering palpitations. She knows what kind of person her mother is, since she was a child, she has been required to do the best, in Daqi, the daughter of ordinary people who has not been lingering among the looms since childhood, sending food and water to the father and brother who work on the ridge, just because the woman is talentless.

But her mother is different, Lin Ziwan doesn't know how to understand her mother, she has let her learn some books of poetry, etiquette and righteousness with her father since she was a child, probably so that she can marry a dragon and phoenix...

And every time she didn't want to practice those guzheng guqin, Lin would also whisper in her ear, "Wan'er, you are the daughter of Taishou, your identity is destined to be different from those untouchables, these things must be learned, before they can become your capital to be proud of them, remember, you are not only yourself, your goal is to become the first talented woman in Daqi, in the future, in order to win glory for Taishou Mansion..."

6-year-old Lin Ziwan listened ignorantly, only knew that her words could not be resisted, what her mother said must be right, and she needed to admire, because she was her mother, she was pregnant in October and gave her life, and she was a person who she had to respect and be filial to for the rest of her life.

And now it seems that the meaning of those words makes her feel cold, in her mother's heart, she is just a chess piece or a pedal to make the Taishou Mansion soar.

Before, when she heard the story of the emperor Chu Juechen and the current queen Qin Liusu, she felt their affection, and felt that the current emperor was a rare infatuation, and only the queen was left in the harem. But he still couldn't stand the royal rules and etiquette, and agreed to accept the concubine.

As soon as the matter of the concubine was made public, the small abacus of the court ministers below became louder and louder, and the Lin family even mentioned more than once that she would be allowed to enter the palace and enjoy glory and wealth from then on. But her mother didn't expect that in the harem, she had to get the emperor... The favor of the person she didn't love, and being involved in the battle of the harem concubines, that was not the life she wanted without Yanagi's life.

Although Chu Juechen is the emperor and owns the entire Great Qi, there is no one with a better status than him in the world, but she doesn't love it, even if he has gold and silver, she doesn't disdain. Although Liu Sheng is poor, his talent is beyond the reach of everyone, although he has nothing now, but in the future, he will definitely become a dragon and phoenix among people.

But now, if they want to be together, they must cross the gap of family history, no matter how their mother breaks up, she will not give up Yanagi, give up their love, because she said that she will wait, wait for Yanagi to become famous, and wait for the day when he will marry her.

Even if her father didn't mention entering the palace, she heard her mother say that her father did not agree with her entering the palace to choose a concubine, but her father has always been uncertain, and the day of choosing a concubine is approaching, and the indisputability in her mother's tone makes her panic, and she has every reason to believe that the Lin family will send her to the palace.

Lin Ziwan sat on the bed, grasping the delicately embroidered cotton silk, her snow-white fingers were covered with green tendons, and she alone would not change her mother's mind, Liu Sheng? Lin Ziwan thought of him, and her heart warmed, she had to find a way with him. Thinking of this, she settled down.

But now, her father and mother already know that she and Liu Sheng are meeting, and it will be even more difficult for her to leave the house in the future, so she has to find a way to contact Liu Sheng.

There were so many things that happened that day, Lin Ziwan didn't have the energy to think about anything anymore, and fell asleep on the bed like a deflated ball.

When she woke up the next day, the room had been cleaned, Lin Ziwan stood up and moved her stiff and numb arms, and was about to go to see if there was a chance to sneak out, when she opened the door, a girl from the house stood in front of her.

"Miss, are you up? But do you want to wash? The girl Ziyun bowed her head and saluted and said, "Which room are you a girl in?" Lin Ziwan was a little displeased, this must have been sent by her mother to follow her, and one Zizhu came another, but she still didn't show any impatience on her face.

"Miss Hui, listen to Madame, Mademoiselle, you haven't served your maid recently, and the slave maid has been transferred to serve you..."

Lin Ziwan evoked a sneer, she knew that her mother would never let her continue to be with Liu Sheng.

Ziyun saw that Lin Ziwan didn't speak, and saw that the clothes on Lin Ziwan's body were wrinkled, so she said, "Miss, I'll wait for you to change your clothes..."

Seeing her say this, Lin Ziwan looked down at her clothes, which were indeed a little wrinkled, and besides, she was not good at startling the snake, so she knew what she thought, so she only nodded and walked towards the house.

After changing her clothes and dressing up, Lin Ziwan's face became a little more complex.

Ziyun didn't have many opportunities to see Lin Ziwan in the mansion, most of the time she worked in the kitchen of the Lin family's courtyard, and now she was really beautiful to see this young lady.

Although he was wearing a low-key and plain dress, he was wearing a blue emerald cigarette shirt, wearing a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil.

Lin Ziwan had a hollow golden hairpin obliquely inserted on her head, the golden hairpin was decorated with a little purple jade, and the tassel was sprinkled on the green silk, swinging as she walked. It can really be described as "fragrant and delicate, delicate and beautiful than flowers, and fingers are like peeling onion roots, such as containing Zhu Dan", and a smile is particularly moving.

"What's your name?" Lin Ziwan lightly opened her lips and raised her eyes to look at Ziyun who was standing aside combing her hair.

"Miss Hui, the slave's name is Ziyun..."Ziyun said as she continued her work.

Then he thought, "Miss, do you want breakfast?"

Lin Ziwan shook her head, and the hairpin on her head made a crisp sound with her movements. He stood up and said, "No, no appetite..."

"Miss, this is not good... If Madame knew that I didn't serve you well, she wouldn't have spared me..."Ziyun was a little anxious.

Lin Ziwan pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, don't panic, I'll be hungry later, I'll eat..."

Then she said, "The weather is good today, come and go out of the house with me..."

"Miss... Madame has instructed that the young lady is not allowed to take half a step out of the Taishou Mansion..."Ziyun said with a frown and a look of embarrassment.

Lin Ziwan knew that her mother made a big fuss yesterday, how could she still allow her to leave the house, and she couldn't help laughing at herself...

"Then let's go to the mansion for a walk..."Lin Ziwan said quietly, helpless but didn't show it, the day of choosing a concubine is getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left for her and Liu Sheng.

She is still in the mood to enjoy the scenery, but she is anxious, and she also has the temperament to work as a woman.

Although the Taishou Mansion is not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is also a unique mansion in Beijing.

Lin Ziwan slowly shuttled through the corridor and stopped in front of Wantang, this is still her birthday, her father ordered someone to build it, the lake is not big, but it is well maintained, the lake water is crystal clear, there are dots of lotus flowers floating on it, and the goldfish in the lake are hiding and playing in it.

Lin Ziwan bent the corners of her lips, she envied that the fish could be free in the water, shuttle freely, and carefree.

Ziyun saw that Lin Ziwan was enjoying it, so she took the fish food from the side and said, "Miss, do you want to give some food to the fish?" ”

As he spoke, he handed the fish food to Lin Ziwan.

Lin Ziwan didn't say anything, her snow-white hands grabbed a handful of fish food from the blue and threw it down.

The goldfish that was still under the leaves just now, asked the fragrance, and immediately swam in the direction of the fish food, and a large group of goldfish gathered together, which also made Lin Ziwan more interested.

But suddenly, there was a sound of beating and scolding from not far away.

Listening to the sound, it is the sound of bamboo sticks hitting people, and the sound of the girl's pleading.

Ziyun saw Lin Ziwan looking in that direction, and hurriedly said, "Miss, there must be another girl who has done something wrong and is receiving the punishment..."

This neighborhood is a firewood house, she just entered the mansion is here, and she is often bullied by some old maids in the mansion, fortunately, the eldest lady finally picked her, she has a chance to escape from here.

"Listen to this voice, this girl is going to die, what kind of mistake did she make to ask for such a heavy punishment?" Lin Ziwan said and walked in the direction where the voice came from.

"Miss...!" Ziyun saw that she had made up her mind, so he followed her as well.

Passing through a bamboo forest, I saw several maids holding bamboo sticks, and they were raising their sticks and trying to hit the girl with her hair scattered on the ground.

"Don't stop yet!" Ziyun shouted.

When the maids saw Lin Ziwan coming, they were immediately so frightened that they threw the bamboo stick in their hands, knelt down and said, "Hello, Miss..."

Lin Ziwan ignored them, picked up the girl on the ground, looked at her wounds, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The girl only had tears in her eyes and nodded.

"What crime did she commit? You beat her to the point where she didn't have a full skin? Lin Ziwan pulled up the girl's sleeve, full of scars.

"Miss, this girl has only been here for a few days, so she was lazy and asked her to chop these five bundles of firewood, but she only handed over four bundles of firewood, and we just wanted to give her a dismount..."

"But so?" Lin Ziwan looked at the girl who was trembling on the side.

"Miss, it's not that the slave is lazy, the slave's hand..."

Somehow, Lin Ziwan was suddenly shocked by these rough blistered hands.

Turning to the three people who were kneeling in front of her, she said, "From now on, this girl will be my person, since the firewood room can't accommodate her, I'll take it..."

The three of them looked at each other, and were about to say something, but the words were choked back by the eyes of Ziyun.

"Miss, I'm afraid this is not appropriate..."Ziyun said behind Lin Ziwan.

"If there's anything inappropriate, help her to my room..."Lin Ziwan said leisurely.

Back in the room, Lin Ziwan took out the gold sore medicine and was about to apply it to the girl's hand, and the girl grabbed it, "Miss, let's do it myself..."

"It's okay, I'm different from other masters, take care of your injuries, you don't have to go back to the firewood room in the future, just serve me in my courtyard," Lin Ziwan said as she applied medicine to her.

Immediately, he remembered something and said, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

"Grandma gave me a name before, Xiuxiu..."Xiuxiu said with pain in pain.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiuxiu in the future..."Lin Ziwan finished applying the medicine to her, put down the medicine and said.

"Miss, you are so good to me, I will do whatever it takes to be a cow and a horse for you in the future..."Xiuxiu said with a firm look in her eyes.

Lin Ziwan couldn't help but smile when she saw her clear eyes, touched her head and didn't say anything.

But it suddenly occurred to her that she was now grounded, although she couldn't go to see Liu Sheng in person, but she could find someone she could trust, and right now, Xiuxiu was a good candidate.

"Xiuxiu, now I really have something to ask you to help me..."Lin Ziwan stretched out her hand to shake Xiuxiu's hand and said.

"What's the matter? I'm going to do it for Miss..."Xiuxiu's eyes were firm.

"You might be out of the house?" Lin Ziwan asked.

"Yes, yes, but they all go with other girls..."Xiuxiu said, she usually goes out with those people to buy vegetables for Taishou Mansion.

"Then you can help me go to a place to deliver a letter while they are not paying attention?" Lin Ziwan asked.

"Well, of course..."Xiuxiu nodded, she could slip away between grocery shopping.

When Lin Ziwan heard her say this, she immediately picked up a pen and paper and thanked her for the concubine.

On the other hand, no matter how hard Liu Sheng reads, he also knows that the emperor has such a big thing as a concubine, thinking that his Wan'er is the daughter of Taishou, he must not be able to escape, just when he was anxious, Xiuxiu also happened to send Lin Ziwan's letter, and after reading the letter, Liu Sheng even enlisted his speculation.

But this matter of accepting a concubine is not something that he can stop as a scholar, Liu Sheng felt at a loss for the first time, and when he calmed down, he thought about it, the master is a master, he has many ideas, and he must be more thoughtful than him.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Sheng hurriedly ran to find Mrs. Li.
