Hefu is in the southwest part of the capital, decorated magnificently, and there are two bronzing fonts of "Hefu" hanging above the gate, which looks very classy.

At this time, it was getting late, and the streets were empty, only the lights were shining not far away, and one after another colored lanterns were hung out, turning the originally dark night into day, and the reason why these lanterns were lit was because there were banquet guests in the house.

Today, the lord and lady of Hefu, as well as the eldest son and the eldest son of the concubine, have returned to Hefu, ready to welcome the new magnates and tycoons in the capital, they want to leave a good impression on these upstarts, and maybe they can help their careers go further!

In the backyard of Hefu, there was a lot of joy.

A girl in a pink dress sat in the garden, her face slightly gloomy and her eyes full of sorrow.

A gust of wind blew, and a trace of fragrance came from the flowers, and the girl looked up and saw a maid walking over with a bowl of longan and red date soup in her hand: "Miss, it's time for you to have dinner." ”

The girl stood up, her eyes falling on the soup, but she did not move, as if she had something on her mind.

"What? Miss, do you want to go hungry? The maid frowned, and there was a hint of reproach in her voice.

"I don't eat it!" The girl said indifferently.

The maid was stunned, and then lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes: "The slave knows that Miss doesn't like longan and red date soup, but this is what the master ordered the kitchen to boil, if Miss doesn't eat it...... The old man will definitely be angry. ”

Hearing this, the girl slowly stretched out her hand, picked up the bowl of longan and red date soup and drank it, and as soon as she finished drinking, she felt uncomfortable tumbling in her abdomen, so she immediately covered her mouth and ran to the side.

The maid hurriedly followed, helped the girl to the bottom of a tree, and waited for the nausea to disappear before letting go of the girl.

At this time, the girl's face was pale, fine sweat appeared on her forehead, and the whole person seemed to collapse and collapsed to the ground.

"Gross-"

Suddenly, a sour sensation surged through her stomach again, and she couldn't help but retch.

The maid squatted down, patted her on the back and soothed, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare the slaves. ”

"No, it's okay...... Gross-"

The girl pushed the maid away, lay on the ground, and continued to retch, until she spat out the last sour water, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, how are you?" The maid asked anxiously, but a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, she gritted her silver teeth, and tears accumulated in her eyes, "Miss, the slave maid will help you go back to the house to rest first, and let the doctor treat you tomorrow." ”

"No need!" The girl got up from the ground, "I have no one to treat my illness, so I don't need a doctor." ”

She took a deep breath and forced her swaying body to walk outside the house, but the moment she passed by a laurel tree, she slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.

The maid knelt on the ground in a panic, and quickly helped the girl up, with an anxious tone: "Miss, I'm sorry, the slave really didn't mean it, please forgive Miss, please don't hurt Miss." ”

The girl frowned in pain, but she didn't say anything, her face was a little gloomy, and she let the maid help her out.

The maid helped the girl to her house, and at the moment of turning the corner, two figures, a man and a woman, stood not far behind.

The man is as handsome as a fairy, and the woman is captivating the country and the city, and the two walk hand in hand under the moonlight, like a pair of beautiful people made in heaven, envying others.

"Look, that's the eldest lady of the He family." Hu Yanxin's face was gloomy, and he said to Meng Zixuan beside him.

"Xianggong, do you know him?" Meng Zixuan asked him vigilantly?

Hu Yanxin nodded: "I once saved her life, so she has always regarded me as a benefactor." ”

"Oh?" Meng Zixuan laughed, a cold glint crossed his eyes, "At this time, you still remember the life-saving feelings of the year, you are worthy of being my father-in-law!" ”

Hu Yanxin turned his eyes and looked at the girl, with a trace of concern in his eyes, he wanted to step forward, but he wanted to stop talking, and then, Hu Yanxin turned around and left with Meng Zixuan. But Meng Zixuan felt that things were not so simple, Hu Yanxin must know this girl.

……

On the other hand, in the house, there is a jubilant and staggered plan.

"Dad, this celebration banquet is very good, I am very happy." Liu Ruyan smiled lightly, and her eyes fell on the face of the middle-aged man opposite.

"Hahaha, it's all up to our Ruyan ability to make such beautiful clothes for Hejia." The middle-aged man laughed a few times, "Just now I told the master that I want to pay attention to rewarding you?" It seems that you really did the right thing to apprentice to Zhao Qingya. ”

"Thank you father for the compliment," Liu Ruyan lowered her eyes, covering the disgust in her eyes, "Actually, I also have a few words to say." ”

"Oh?" The middle-aged man pursed his lips, "If you have anything to say, the whole family will support you." ”

"Since this celebration banquet is presided over by my father, I hope that my father can change the celebration banquet into a blind date banquet and let all the children of the family come to participate."

The middle-aged man was stunned, and then laughed: "Ruyan, you are too smart, this matter will be done according to what you say, I will go and tell your mother immediately." ”

Liu Ruyan hooked the corners of her lips, and her smile was elegant and moving.

……

"Ruyan, your proposal is good." Mrs. Liu touched Liu Ruyan's head with satisfaction, and smiled kindly and gently, "You did a very good job this time, and my mother is very happy." ”

Liu Ruyan smiled shyly: "This is what I should do." ”

This Liu Ruyan is the eldest daughter of the third largest splendid master family in the capital, in order to climb the relationship with Zheng Yuanhou, Liu Ruyan worships Zhao Qingya as a teacher, and this time the mansion feasts the heroes, and all the clothes in the mansion are designed by Liu Ruyan.

"Mother," Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder how big this banquet is?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this," Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ruyan with a smile, "Master He has decided to make the banquet bigger, and invite all the famous families in the capital to come, and at that time, all the famous families will send people to give gifts, and ......"

Mrs. Liu paused, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and she lowered her voice: "You should know about the marriage with the Nangong family." ”

"Well, I know," Liu Ruyan pursed her lips, "I don't know what Mother means?" ”

"If Nangong Yueyi of the Nangong family falls in love with you, then our family will have something to do with the queen." Mrs. Liu said mysteriously, "This is an opportunity, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can marry into the royal family." ”

Although Liu Ruyan is a concubine, who made her the only daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? As long as she marries into the royal family, her status will naturally rise.

Liu Ruyan was stunned: "However, Nangong Yueyi is the only concubine of the Nangong family, and I am just a concubine." ”

"Fool," Mrs. Liu knocked on Liu Ruyan's head, "You are the eldest lady of the Liu family, even if Nangong Yueyi is a waste of materials, if she marries a wife in the future, she must be a wife, and as for the concubine, she is not qualified to enter the door." ”

"Mother is very right," Liu Ruyan lowered her eyes shyly, "then what should I prepare?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, you just need to prepare carefully for this time, and you will definitely be able to shine when the time comes."

Liu Ruyan pursed her thin lips lightly, with a touch of expectation in her eyes.

Over there, Sheng Guo'er and Sheng Xiaotao dressed up to attend the Huo family's banquet.

"Sister, the people who came today are really rich or expensive, I really admire you, you can sit on the banquet table of the first family in the capital from a ravine." Sheng Xiaotao's face was full of reverence, "I heard that the second young master of the Nangong family is also here, if he sees his sister, he will definitely be fascinated, and he can't wait to marry you immediately." ”

Nangong Yueyi and Nangong Yuchen are two brothers, but because Nangong Yuchen's personality is relatively indifferent and does not care about people, he rarely participates in banquets, this time the two brothers appeared at the banquet in kimono at the same time, which is really rare, after being introduced, the Sheng Guoer sisters knew that the Nangong family had a relationship with the royal family.

"Don't talk nonsense, I only have your brother-in-law in my heart." Sheng Guo'er glared at Sheng Xiaotao.

Sheng Xiaotao stuck out her tongue: "Sister, I'm just talking casually, after all, Nangong Yueai is really good." ”

"Humph!" Sheng Guo'er pursed her lips, "I can't accommodate other men in my heart, unless it's my husband, otherwise, I will never marry anyone else." ”

"Sister, don't worry, brother-in-law will always belong to you."

"Xiao Tao, why are you getting more and more oily," Sheng Guo'er shook her head helplessly, "I see you, do you want to marry this Nangong Yue." ”

"Why?"

"Because, you have peach blossoms in both eyes." Sheng Guo'er jokingly said, "Be careful that Lin Muyan is making trouble for you!" ”

"......" Sheng Xiaotao glanced at her sister helplessly.

At this moment, suddenly a handsome man walked over, smiled and said, "You are Sheng Guo'er, right?" ”

Sheng Guo'er raised her head and met the man's smiling eyes.

The man was wearing a white brocade robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, plump and handsome, especially a pair of phoenix eyes dazzling, as if they could bewitch people's hearts, making people dare not look directly into his eyes.

"Are you ......" Sheng Guo'er hesitated for a moment.

The man raised his lips and smiled: "The contemptible person's surname is Nangong, and his name is Yuchen." Then, Nangong Yuchen's gaze fell on Sheng Xiaotao's body. This child has a loyal and handsome spirit, and the aura of plants and trees is quite different from the graceful and luxurious girls that Nangong Yuchen came into contact with.

"Nangong Gongzi ......" Sheng Guo'er's eyes widened in surprise.

It is said that the Nangong family is the first family in the capital, and the power is monstrous, even the emperor is polite when he sees the people of the Nangong family, and even more, there was once a prince who offended the Nangong family and almost lost his life, and finally had to withdraw from the marriage.

"Xiao Tao, you go to the outer courtyard and wait for me first." Sheng Guo'er glanced at Sheng Xiaotao.

Sheng Xiaotao nodded and walked away.

"Nangong Gongzi, do you have anything to do with me?" Sheng Guo'er put away the expression on her face and asked.

"I take the liberty of asking, who was the Lin Muyan in your mouth just now?"

"His name is Lin Muyan, and he is the young master of the Lin family," Sheng Guo'er smiled lightly, "I don't know if you know him?" ”

Nangong Yuchen frowned and seemed to be in deep thought.

After half a ring, he sighed and said distressedly: "Yes, I once studied art with him in Ping'an Township, and his master was a retired imperial doctor. ”

"I see," Sheng Guo'er suddenly asked, "Then ...... him?"

"Ahem!"

An abrupt voice came, interrupting Sheng Guo'er's words, and Nangong Yuchen looked at Sheng Guo'er apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Guo'er, I lost my temper just now." ”

Sheng Guo'er shook her head and said, "Nangong Gongzi, your body is fine, my sister is proficient in medical skills, I can help you take a look." ”

I'm sick of the old problem, I'm honored to see you today, I heard from the people who came back from Pingyuan Township that Li Guifei is very satisfied, your architectural style, so I also want to meet this talented person, a woman who can kill from the ravine to the capital and the mansion and become a guest, what is it like? Now that I see it, it is really powerful, and it is worthy of its reputation, and even Mu Yan has become your younger brother. ”

Sheng Guo'er said modestly: "They are all friends, it doesn't matter, who is high and who is low." ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in the depths of Nangong Yuchen's pupils.

No wonder the people of Ping'an Township will praise her as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go.

"Miss Guo'er," Nangong Yuchen's tone was gentle, "I have a private matter I want to ask you, I don't know ......"

Sheng Guo'er was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard Mu Yan say that there is a little girl in Ping'an Township, who is still young but has extraordinary wisdom, I don't know ...... Do you know each other? ”

"You want to ask my sister?" Sheng Guo'er blinked her big beautiful eyes, "I'm sorry, what do you mean?" ”

Nangong Yuchen frowned: "The girl Mu Yan said he liked, is it really your sister Sheng Xiaotao?" ”

Shun Guoer nodded, and said with a smile that the two of them studied art together, and their feelings were very deep, but my sister, this child, was too naughty, and now she always wants to treat Lin Gongzi as her brother, which is really careless! ”

After saying this, there was a look of regret in her eyes.

"Your sister looks ...... It's cute. Nangong Yuchen laughed a few times, "So, thank you Miss Guo'er for telling me this news, I'll visit you another day when I'm free." ”

"Hmm." Sheng Guo'er nodded, "Nangong Gongzi go slowly, goodbye." ”
