Early in the morning, there were "guests" at home, and Lu Shi confessed a few words to the jade, and went out with Mrs. Zhou, and went to Beijing to find a workshop to order furniture.

Xu is that day Wei Wangfu and the Ministry of Rites to hire people to hire too much, leaked the news, the past half a month has passed, Longquan Town, but all the people who look at the land, most of them know that built in the mansion at the bottom of Nanshan, the Lu family, Miss was assigned to marry a prince, now, the town is lively.

Longquan Town is not small, nearly 1,000 households, among which many large mansions built near Li Tai's Xianrong Courtyard are the real estate of some officials in Beijing.

At the beginning, the Lu family also received it in person, but after a few times, it was all handed over to the housekeeper, not to put on a show, to be an ordinary woman, and to enjoy the vanity of being sycophants and stammered, but the Lu family is not an ordinary woman, if there is a choice, she does not even want to leave the jade to get involved with Li Tai, let alone deal with those who are not drunk and do not want to drink.

Listening to the housekeeper's report of the visitors, Yiyu didn't call for a casual dismissal today as usual, just because the person who came was her godsister she recognized in her early years, Liu Xiangxiang, so she asked her subordinates to set up refreshments in the flower hall in the front yard to entertain guests.

Speaking of Liu Xiangxiang, since she "remarried" to a family surnamed Huang in the town, her life is also considered to be harmonious, that Huang He is a scholar, there is a wife who died early in front of her, no children, after failing the exam a few times, she honestly taught in the town school, both parents, and a younger sister, named Huang Lin, one year younger than Yuyu.

Right now, Liu Xiangxiang sat in the flower hall with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, saying that this is the third time that Yiyu has seen Huang Mu and Huang Lin, the first time, or three years ago, when Huang Mu reached out to serve tea, Huang Lin looked at a plate of pink plum blossom cake on the table with interest, and gave Liu Xiangxiang a look.

Why is this here?

Liu Xiangxiang only had time to pull out a wry smile at her, Huang Mu had already opened her mouth with a smile, her face was round, she was older than the Lu family, because of her fortune, the wrinkles were not obvious, and her eyes were very kind when she looked at Yu Yu, and she spoke the same:

"I still remember, when I first met you, I was still a little girl, and in a blink of an eye, I was so smart, I always heard Xiangxiang say that you are generous and sensible, my Linlin is not much younger than you, how can I be half as good as you."

Huang Lin, who had just touched the delicate little snack, retracted her fingers, raised her head to meet the gaze of the last Yuyu, bit her lower lip, don't look over, and waited for the Yuyu to retract her gaze, and then secretly looked at the past, thinking with some negative feelings in her heart, this young lady who said that she was going to marry a prince, she looked good, but she was not as beautiful as she imagined, and the clothes were not extravagant, and there was nothing special about it, how could it be as good as her sister-in-law and mother said.

Yi Yu didn't have much impression of Huang Lin, knowing that her daughter's family at this age didn't like to be compared to others, so she smiled at Huang Mu, directly avoided her praise, and said:

"It's a coincidence that my aunt came, my mother just went out to Beijing to run errands, and I think she won't come back until the afternoon."

Huang Mu nodded, did not show a special expression, looked at it, it was not to find the Lu family, and asked Yu Yu in a gossiping manner, "Remember that you originally studied in Guozixue, can you go back now?" ”

"It's long gone." Two years ago, she was forced to retire from the Guozijian by the students of the Fifth Academy, and finally under the mediation of Jin Qide, a doctor from the Academy of Books, and Zha Jiwen, a doctor from the Tai College, she was able to keep her student status, but she said that she was sick and no longer went to class.

Huang's mother didn't know what to do, but Liu Xiangxiang heard the reason Lu Shi say, so she quickly interjected, stopped her mother-in-law who wanted to ask again, and said to Yuyu:

"Godmother said that your wedding date has been set, and I think there are a lot of preparations to be made recently, if you have something, go and get busy, and we will go back first."

Yi Yu heard that she said this on purpose, looked at Huang Mu, whose face changed slightly, hesitated slightly, but when it came to her mouth, it became:

"Aunt has something, you might as well say it directly, Sister Xiangxiang is my mother's goddaughter, and my eldest sister, our two families are not outsiders."

Liu Xiangxiang married Huang He for three years, nothing came out, the Huang family has a small property, the reason why she did not give this only son a concubine, there is their husband and wife feelings, of course, there are also the reasons for their "mother's family", when in Shuzhong, in danger, Liu Xiangxiang reached out to their mother and daughter, Yu Yu has never forgotten, although the relationship with her is not as deep as Lu Zhi and Lu Jun, but she is also treated as a relative, Huang's mother is clearly something to come to the door, if she really ignores Liu Xiangxiang's meaning, how can she be worthy of being her mother's family.

Listening to Yi Yu's words, Huang Mu's face was sunny again, Liu Xiangxiang didn't know that Yu Yu was deliberately making face for herself, and just glanced at it gratefully, she heard Huang Mu say:

"You say so, I won't go around the corner, your brother-in-law's personality, presumably your eldest sister also said, loyal and honest, and not without talent, but unfortunately bad luck, back to the list, can only stay in this town to teach, wronged talent, I heard, Chang'an City, Wei Wangfu is a school, specializing in the collection of talented readers, your brother-in-law he went to worship a few times, but unfortunately there is no way, no recommendation, was turned away,"

Speaking of this, she sighed, looked at the Yu Yu, and continued:

"Our two families are not in-laws, so I want to ask you for a favor, but I can help talk about it, call the school hall and accept your brother-in-law."

What Huang Mu said is undoubtedly Li Tai's Literature Museum, for the world's readers, the Literature Museum is indeed a rare and good place, no age is required, no background is required, if you are accepted, you will have the name of a scholar, you can enjoy the official ranks, and you can be respected, you can perform well, and you can also be promoted to be an official, that's it, with the continuous improvement of the status of the Literature Museum, it becomes more and more difficult to enter that door.

But in the eyes of outsiders, after all, the Literature Museum belongs to King Wei, and nothing is still a word, so Huang Muhui directly asked to accept Huang He, which is human nature.

"Xiaoyu," Huang's mother pulled Liu Xiangxiang under the case, but couldn't stop her from talking: "Your brother-in-law doesn't have to go to that school, it's good that he is teaching like this now." ”

Yi Yu came back to her senses, shook her head at Liu Xiangxiang, who was secretly glaring at her, and said to Huang's mother: "I can help my brother-in-law introduce me, three days later, you will ask him to go to Beijing again, my aunt doesn't know, the literature museum accepts scholars, there is a small test, everyone can't avoid it, my brother-in-law has real talent to learn, and I am not afraid that I can't get by." ”

She is not an unreasonable person, but Li Tai's literature museum accepts people, it is indeed rigorous, she can directly ask Li Tai to accept people, but she will not do that, there is a saying, one person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, her current situation, in the eyes of outsiders, why is it not like this?

Therefore, as early as when the first group of guests came to the door, she considered her position under the reminder of Mrs. Zhou, and in the future, as the position of Princess Wei, she drew a line in her heart and did not cross it easily, which was good for everyone.

The echo of the relict jade was completely understood by Huang Mu as another meaning, and the woman immediately put a smile on her face again, and said repeatedly:

"So very good, so very good."

After talking for a while, Huang's mother took her leave, as if she couldn't wait to go back to tell her husband and son the good news, Yu Yu kept two sentences, then whispered a few words to Chen Qu, got up to send them out, and when they arrived at the door, Liu Xiangxiang stood still and said:

"Mother, I'll eat here at noon."

Huang Mu said good-naturedly: "Then you can't go back to eat, you sisters haven't seen each other for many days, talk more." ”

Chen Qu trotted over with a two-layer lacquer flower food box, Yi Yu took it, handed it to Huang Lin, and said softly: "I like to eat some snacks on weekdays, we are of the same age, I think you will like it too, take it back and try it." ”

Huang Lin glanced at her, twisted and took it, there were a few delicate refreshments in the food box, among which was the plum blossom cake that Huang Lin had not moved for a long time.

The mother and daughter walked out of the gate of Puzhen Garden, walked more than a dozen steps, followed Huang Lin, who was beside Huang Mu to watch her mother, and looked back at the high lintel, shook the food box in her hand, and then snorted softly and whispered:

"What's the big deal."

Huang Mu heard it at the tip of her ear, and reached out to touch the back of her head with a smile, and said, "Obviously only one year younger, look at others, that's what Miss Dahu should look like." ”

"Mother," Huang Lin impatiently brushed aside her teasing and said disapprerovingly, "When my brother becomes a big official, I can also be a young lady." ”

After sending off the mother and daughter of the Huang family, Liu Xiangxiang lost the fake politeness when Huang's mother was in front of her just now, and instead pulled Yu Yu back to the courtyard a few steps, frowning and saying:

"Why did you respond, didn't you see me look at you, you don't want to think about it, can you agree to this, I don't know what the literature museum is, but you must be going to ask the prince, before you pass the door, there is a family affair, isn't this to make people look down on you?"

Liu Xiangxiang attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and Yu Yu likes her temperament, and was pulled forward by her with a smile, ignoring the sideways glances of the people around her, and said softly:

"You're afraid that I'll be underestimated, I'm still afraid that you'll be looked down upon, don't worry, this matter is still in accordance with the rules, I'm just making a recommendation, if you pass the small test and enter the museum, people are more diligent, and they may be promoted."

Liu Xiangxiang turned her head and glared at her, "Then I can't let your brother-in-law go, I don't know him yet, he's just a nerd, just teach in the town honestly, can everyone be an official?" He ......"

Although there is a sister who is about to marry a princess, Liu Xiangxiang, who grew up in a small mountain village, has some thoughts that are deeply rooted, thinking that at the beginning, a small town mayor, the younger brother of a concubine in the family, can toss the neighbors to death, dare not resist, let alone say that it is an official, that is something that I can't think of, one day, let her be an official's wife, she is still afraid of premature death.

"Okay, I'm all right, don't miss me," Yi Yu grabbed Liu Xiangxiang's arm and interrupted her chatter, "I embroidered a pair of pillows the day before yesterday, you can help me take a look." ”

Yi Yu has seen Huang He, the man is honest, but he is not a fool, he is dead in reading, but he does not have the intention of entering the office, otherwise how could he have taken the imperial examination for so many years, Liu Xiangxiang has made her in-laws have a mustard because she is not pregnant, if you stop Huang He in this matter, it will make them husband and wife.

Moreover, Yi Yu really wouldn't pretentiously think that Li Tai would "underestimate" her because of this kind of thing, after all, King Wei, who is not close to people in the eyes of outsiders, is still very good at talking to her.
