A lonely moon was quietly hidden in the dark clouds, and a little moonlight sprinkled in the Jiang family's compound.

The Tongyun Pavilion was dead silent under the cover of night, and a few female envoys on duty in the courtyard stood with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound at all.

"Cheap hooves!" Li Yingmei gritted her teeth and scolded, reaching out and touching the purple gold smoker on the desk.

The incense ash was sprinkled all over the ground, and several petite maids hurriedly stepped forward to clean up.

"The bracelet was begged for you by the old lady, and I have been with you for twenty years." Liu's mother on the side said earnestly, turned around and waved her hand to several female envoys, signaling them to withdraw.

"How can a woman with such a small door as her be worn, why don't I go and get it back for the eldest lady."

"Just say... Just say that this bracelet is flawed, and give her a good color. Mother Liu walked a few steps forward and said, "Anyway, these four girls may not be able to read the goods when they are young, don't waste good things in vain." ”

The little maids gathered away the incense ash and broken porcelain pieces and retreated to the courtyard, still bowing their heads and holding their breath, for fear that their breathing would be too loud and noisy to the two people who were talking in the room.

Li Yingmei held the desk with one hand and clenched it into a fist, "What was sent out in front of the lord, how can I ask for it again." ”

The chest continued to rise and fall, and even the beads on the bun were faintly shaking, "If I swallow this breath, won't I live in vain." Li Yingmei said and hammered the case hard.

"Today, that little slut told me to lose face in front of the lord."

"Don't let her see something? How did the cake fall so inappropriately? With that, he looked up at Liu's mother.

"Don't panic, big lady." Liu's mother stepped forward and said: "She is a little girl's family, and there are no adults around, how can she know how to restrain these foods, I'm afraid it's a coincidence." ”

"She has also eaten all the shrimp and crabs sent recently, that thing is very cold, you don't eat more than one bite on weekdays, maybe she is still weak." Liu's mother paused, "Let's be careful in the future." ”

"It's okay if you haven't eaten it, after this girl wakes up, it's very different from the usual sick appearance, let's be careful in everything, we can't plant it on this little thing."

Li Yingmei continued with a cold face: "The warlock you found has never used it, if you eat it and get poisoned in our house, wouldn't it be unclear." ”

Mother Liu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What the lady said is that I will find someone to interrogate carefully before using it when I go back, and strive to be safe." ”

Mother Liu said, poured a glass of warm water, and slowly pushed it to Li Yingmei.

"A few days ago, I sent a letter from Bianjing, saying that the little young master remembered you... It will be possible to reach the boundary of Yangzhou in a few days. Mother Liu hesitated and said, "Little Master has seen the four girls since you met at your wedding banquet..."

"The soul that was hooked is gone, if it weren't for the persuasion of the old lady, I would have wanted to come again years ago." Seeing that Li Yingmei was silent, Liu's mother continued.

"The daughter of a small official family is sick and dead, and others dare not ask." Speaking of this, Mother Liu raised her head and met Li Yingmei's fierce eyes.

The anger that had gradually subsided was burning again, and his nails sank deep into his palms without noticing.

"But our brother is of noble birth, how can we let such a slut be delayed."

Mother Liu said and came to Li Yingmei's side, "This time our brother comes, we must not let them see each other again, who knows what tricks that fox girl has!" ”

Li Yingmei nodded secretly, she must not let such a sick man ruin her son's future.

A cool breeze blew outside, and the black clouds grew thicker and thicker, no longer oozing a trace of moonlight.

Li Yingmei in the room was smooth, nodded and said, "Our brother Chen, the eldest grandson in the Taishi Mansion, is worthy of the princess of the county lord." ”

"This girl must not stay." After that, he let go of his hand and gently rubbed the bruised nail marks, "Otherwise, it will be sent as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, besides, there is no peace in the Taishi's Mansion, and the uncles in the second room are staring at our brother every day." Mother Liu leaned on Li Yingmei's knee at this moment and continued: "If you find this fourth girl from our family, I am afraid that the future will be difficult to say." ”

"And my voice." Li Yingmei's face showed a little sadness at this moment, "If something happens to Brother Chen, I'm afraid that Yin'er's marriage will not go smoothly." ”

"Exactly!" Mother Liu gently patted Li Yingmei's arm and said earnestly: "The Duchess also said this in her letter. ”

Mother Liu leaned into Li Yingmei's ear and said in a low voice: "The letter said that His Majesty intends to choose a daughter-in-law in the family of several important ministers, saying that it is to marry the eldest prince and the fifth prince." ”

"The Great Prince?" Li Yingmei was surprised, and then lowered her voice and said: "The queen mother's family is powerful, and this eldest prince has a bright future in the future..."

"It's just that I've heard of these five princes for a long time, and it's very unbearable." Li Yingmei shook her head, "This fifth prince is from Concubine Jiahuijing, who has been dead for many years, if she relies on her favor that day, these five princes may still have the ability to compete..."

"It's just that as soon as this Jing Guifei goes, this prince will be a wanderer." When Li Yingmei said this, there was a hint of disdain on her face.

Mother Liu on the side didn't answer, even if she was a prince who declared, she was not a subordinate who could put her beak.

Li Yingmei sank and continued: "However, with Chen'er's grandfather's status today, he will definitely not let his eldest granddaughter marry this fifth prince. ”

As if something had come to mind, "Maybe..."

"If you can marry the eldest prince...", a beam of excitement flashed in Li Yingmei's eyes, and she couldn't help but hold on to Liu's mother's sleeve.

"Girl, good girl, you must be." Mother Liu stepped forward and smoothed Li Yingmei's shoulder, "Let's take care of this cooking, Miss Young Master has a great future." ”

"It's just that these four girls are now recovering from a serious illness, I'm afraid it's difficult to do..."Liu's mother looked embarrassed, "I can't make a move, and I am afraid that people will be suspicious if I make another move." Wait for Li Yingmei to reply.

"Tomorrow, remove the cold things from her house, and send some nourishment." Li Yingmei said thoughtfully: "Handle it cleanly, don't let someone get the handle." ”

"Yes, it's all done by confidants, and Madame can rest assured." Mother Liu said with a sigh of relief.

"It's better like this..."

The master and servant pressed their voices and pondered carefully all night.

For a long time, it was not until the yard knocked the ugly stick that it would not disperse.

......

Jiang Tao lay on the bed and played with the bracelet on her wrist carefully, unable to sleep for a long time.

The pale cyan jade bracelet lining the skin of the Jiang peach is smoother and more delicate.

"What a little beauty." Jiang Tao couldn't help but sigh.

This is really good, the skin is like coagulated skin like snow, and the blow bomb can be broken and clean, which is not too much at all.

What days will await her in the future?

"And the." Thinking of what his father Jiang Ling had said just now, Jiang Tao murmured lightly, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

"After the ceremony, I'm afraid someone will come to the door to ask for you, Miss." Yinhuan leaned against Jiang Tao's bed and said in a daze.

"I heard that the eldest lady found a rich family in Jiangzhou for the young lady, and the family has been in business for several years and has some family background." Yinhuan was lying on the side of the bed and looked at Jiang Tao at the moment, "It's just that the lord is unwilling, since ancient times, women have been married highly, and they don't want to marry you into a merchant family." ”

"Where did you hear that?" Jiang Tao leaned sideways and asked, "Why didn't I know?" ”

"Oh, how can you let Miss know about this kind of thing? I listened to the mother-in-law in the kitchen. ”

"But I'll go with you wherever you go, Miss, my mother is gone, and I'll miss you as a relative." Silverring turned and leaned back against the bed to take a nap.

In ancient times, businessmen had always been unpopular, and poor people might be able to do it.

But the Jiang family is also a civil official, and this stepmother is also blatant, so it's no wonder that Jiangling is not happy.

It seems that this father still loves this Jiang Qinghe, but he doesn't know if he can be the master in this family.

A five-grade petty official in Jiangling, Xu Xian married a girl from the Guogong Mansion, although both of them are Xu Xian, but they are still very high.

In addition, this stepmother has a ruthless temper, and it is normal for Gangneung to eat soft rice.

This stepmother is afraid that there is no good fruit for Jiang Tao to eat.

"I'll have to find a way to go out and see how much money I can make." Jiang Tao had never brought any jewelry hairpin rings, and she didn't care how expensive this jade bracelet was.

"Do you know where the pawnshop is in this city?" Jiang Tao suddenly asked, startling Yinhuan's heart tightened, and he suddenly woke up from his sleep.

"Pawnshop? Nature knows. Silverring replied in a daze, "Miss asked what the pawnshop does." ”

"It's good to know, go to sleep!" After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he got up and lowered the curtain.

The plan to save money has to be pushed forward quickly, and Jiang Tao doesn't want to be a victim of this wealthy family's infighting.
