Li Miao covered her mouth and smiled helplessly, pointed at Li Juan's eyebrows and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, this is the capital, not Li County." Now that you're living under the eaves of someone else's house, put away your little money fan. ”

"What am I saying that is not true?" Li Juan dodged with a grin, fiddled with the gold bill, and snorted in a low voice, "The fourth uncle's shelf is bigger than that of grandmother, and she will be cold before she can say two words." And that Li Yingge, does Sister think that I haven't been taught enough by her, and she has to talk to me about the rules behind closed doors? ”

She tilted her head and smiled, and the gold coin in her hand was thrown up and down, colliding with the unique soft sound of metal, which was piercing and cold in her ears.

Li Miao's beautiful eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but be dyed with a layer of sorrow.

She seemed to have miscalculated the situation.

The Xie family is even stronger than imagined, and he does not take the Liu mother-in-law who represents the Liu family in his eyes at all, and the legend is that Li Yingge, who was raised by the Xie family to be cowardly and rigid, and will only shrink in the East Cross Courtyard and play with the nurse and maid all day long.

Li Miao thought of this, so she pulled Li Juan and said carefully, "This is not our home, don't be discouraged." Don't forget what my aunt told you before we left, and what did I tell you? Li Yingge is the heart of the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle, as long as you can coax her, what are these gold bills? What will come in the future is your benefit. ”

Li Juan shook her hands impatiently and muttered, "I don't like her." Doesn't the fourth uncle still have a son-in-law, and the fourth uncle's family business will not be his alone in the future, rather than asking me to please Li Yingge, it is better to get close to that sister-in-law. Didn't Sister see that if Li Yingge hadn't happened to come over, the fourth uncle and aunt wouldn't have planned to introduce us, and we wouldn't see the cousins in the house at this time. ”

Li Miao grabbed Li Juan's hand and twisted it gently, and said angrily, "What do you know, the Li Mansion in the capital is not as big as the Li County clan, and the rules are bigger." The cousins in the house were raised in the outer courtyard at the age of three, and at the age of four, they all boarded in the famous official school. The official school New Year's holiday was later than the seal of the yamen, and they couldn't come back until the day of the New Year.

The cousin you are talking about, who is only five years old after the New Year, and the fourth uncle is willing to let him stay with the cousin, whether it is the meaning of the fourth uncle or not, it can be seen that the fourth uncle is a person who abides by the rules and respects the rules, you can no longer open your mouth to ask for things, there is an aunt at home to protect you, and no one here indulges you. ”

Li Juan raised her hand and exhaled, and muttered, "Sister also knows that she is protected by her aunt at home, so why do you go to Beijing to see people's faces?" Even if my father doesn't spoil my aunt now, what if my mother doesn't like my aunt, my aunt has saved a lot of self over the years, and it's not that she doesn't have her own manpower at home, isn't it okay for us to be free at home? ”

The life of the concubine is not easy, but they are the only two daughters in the third room, in Li Juan's cognition in just a few years, as soon as the door of the aunt's small courtyard is closed, it is a small paradise for her to take what she wants.

Li Miao covered her heart, took a long breath, and said with red eyes, "Freedom? How many years can you be at ease? Do you think that like the cousins in the big house and the second room, you can only be sent by your grandmother in the future to marry the local merchant gentry in Li County, and you can't even get an official wife? ”

Li Juan loves to look at her eyes, and no matter how she can pretend, she is just a little girl in the end, and her family affairs are too far away for her.

Hearing Li Miao say this at this moment, I can't help but think of how the old lady Liu values sons over daughters, and how she doesn't treat her daughter-in-law and granddaughter as people.

She held the gold coin tightly, looked at Li Miao cautiously and asked, "So what Mrs. Liu said is not all what grandmother meant, does Sister also want to marry in Beijing?" But if you marry in Beijing, you won't be able to see your aunt in the future. ”

The aunt is only half a master, which family will treat the aunt as a serious relative, but Li Juan is reluctant to give birth to her and raise her aunt, she thinks that Li Miao should also be reluctant.

Li Miao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "If we are well, my aunt can live a better life." Don't just stare at the present. It took a lot of work to be able to move my grandmother to send us here this time, so you should help your aunt and sister if you accept your temperament. ”

It turned out that the Liu family was just pushing the boat down the river to block the Xie family, and it was Li Miao who really wanted to enter the Li Mansion.

She knocked on the side before she said that she moved Liu.

This trip to the capital, she will not go in vain.

Li Miao raised her eyes, and the water in her eyes moved slightly, "The fourth uncle is the elder of the pavilion, and we are the nieces of the elder of the pavilion, why should we live in that small town in Li County with our grandmother, and we should be taken a high look." ”

Li Juan's eyes rolled, and she remembered her aunt's confession, and exclaimed, "Sister, aunt really wants you to fight for the title of the fourth concubine of the Qianwang Mansion?!" But the four concubines are just concubines......"

She loved her aunt, but she never thought that the two sisters would follow her aunt's old path.

Li Miao sighed, her eyes lit up like flames, "The prince's four concubines have the ...... of the imperial court."

Li Juan doesn't care whether she is ordered or not, she only knows that if Li Miao is elected to the Qianwang Mansion as the fourth concubine, the first thing she will hit is Li Yingge's face.

Li Juan covered her mouth, and her apricot eyes were curved with a big smile.

Li Miao pursed her lips and gently nodded Li Juan's forehead.

The summer rain and winter snow who were picking up their bags outside suddenly put down their steps, Qiuyue opened the curtain of the inner room, and Chunhua immediately reported, "Mother Yang is here." ”

When Mother Yang entered, she saw Li Miao secretly wiping the corners of her eyes, dragging Li Juan, who was drooping her little head, out of her seat, and hurriedly saluting and greeting.

Mother Yang secretly raised her eyebrows, but she didn't see it, and smiled and conveyed Xie's words, "The two young ladies will rest their feet first, and when the master comes back, they will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two young ladies, and they will go to the main courtyard for dinner." Starting tomorrow, Madame will allocate a portion of the money to Seifu-in. ”

Li Miao was surprised and grateful, twisted the handkerchief and whispered, "It's too troublesome for the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle is really kind-hearted......"

Mother Yang interrupted, "Why don't you see Mother Liu?" ”

Li Juan smiled and said, "Mother Liu went to the outer courtyard to find the housekeeper who came to give the New Year's gift this time." It was said that the fourth aunt left us, and she wanted to reply to the grandmother. ”

Li Juan lied casually, but Mother Yang didn't ask much, but said, "Then please trouble the two young ladies to tell me, and a table will be reserved for Mother Liu in the main courtyard at night, and I will accompany the maid and the maid in the main courtyard at that time." ”

Li Miao took Li Juan by the hand and personally sent Yang's mother out of Qingfeng Courtyard.

Mother Yang returned to the main courtyard and said to Xie, "Miss Miao looks like she is crying again, and Miss Juan doesn't look energetic." It looks like hiding and complaining to each other. ”

Xie Shi was speechless, "Which one wronged them?" It's just a couple of beatings on them, they can't stand it, how can they be more squeamish than Brother Ying'er. ”

Mother Yang didn't care much either, and said, "I inquired when I came back, and Mrs. Liu was asking about the latest news in Beijing in the mansion, and she seemed to be very concerned about the assassination of His Royal Highness King Qian. ”
