There was an instant silence in the front hall.

It was as if time had stood still for a few seconds.

After a few seconds, someone exclaimed.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Lin Ziyunli, full of incredulity.

Lin Zi is the eldest daughter of the county government, and she has served by the queen's side, so it is not surprising that Mrs. Hou chose her.

But what's going on with Yun Li?

She is a poor girl from a broken background, and Mrs. Hou chose her?!!

The girls seemed to have a toad in their mouths, looking at Yun Li with different expressions.

Yun Li was dumbfounded and looked at Mother Song stupidly.

She still wanted to go back to eat noodles or sour jujube cake later, but she didn't expect Mother Song to choose her?

"I don't dare, I'm afraid, I'm still not going to embarrass the other hospital."

Yun Li subconsciously refused and blurted out.

Mother Song walked over with a smile, took Yun Li's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will accompany you in the other courtyard today to choose tomorrow's clothes and pearl hairpins, and then talk about the rules of the Hou Mansion." ”

"Madame chose you, it is a blessing for the two of you, the concubine is not allowed to say a 'no', don't make this mistake again in the future."

Yun Li's face stiffened, and the corners of his lips pursed.

A pair of eyes like knives behind her hated to rip her to death.

Lin Zi recovered from her astonishment, and said slowly: "There is a funeral at home, and I haven't had time to return to Mama Chen, so it's not good to congratulate Mrs. Hou on her birthday, so I ask Mama Song to choose another girl." ”

She respectfully blessed her body, and Mother Song turned her attention to her.

Lin Zi is indeed plain today, his face is fat-free and powder-free, and his porcelain-like skin is still white and tender like jade, which can be broken by blowing.

"I don't know what ...... house is," Song's mother always had to ask clearly.

Lin Zi sank down and said, "It's the concubine's uncle, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Mother Song's face was pale.

An uncle, is it worth pushing Mrs. Hou to celebrate her birthday?

Lin Zi is too ignorant of lifting!

Yun Li sighed in her heart.

How could she not have thought of this excuse?

However, there are too few people in the family, and there are no relatives to die of, so it is not appropriate to make up nonsense.

Moreover, Lin Zi has already used this trick, so the two families that can't be selected are dead.

But choose her to celebrate Mrs. Hou's birthday?

Yun Li looked at Mother Song carefully.

This is a conspiracy, not against her, but at Ye Fengye.

Isn't it that Ye Fengye doesn't want to go to the birthday banquet?

No matter how much Ye Fengye didn't like her, she was the only one he sent to another courtyard.

Mrs. Hou actually did something to her humble concubine, it was really too immoral......

Yun Li had seen enough of the secrets hidden by Song's mother, and just wanted to find a way to push this matter off.

Sick? It's a little late;

Bad stomach? It's not so easy.

She swept the other girls with resentment, jealousy, and resentment, did she volunteer to abuse her?

This time, she can ignore the small feud!

Mother Song did not give up on Lin Zi immediately, and sent someone back to the Hou Mansion to ask Mrs. Hou to make a decision.

She asked Mama Chen to take the other girls to the wing room for class, and instructed the people around her to accompany Qiaoyue and Chunya to their respective courtyards to get bead hairpin jewelry, and she would personally select and apply makeup to the two girls.

Yun Li and Lin Zi were left here and not allowed to move.

It's like two marionettes.

Yun Li looked at Lin Zi, but she didn't expect Lin Zi to be looking at her as well.

The two sighed in unison, needless to say, they could read the resistance in each other's eyes.

"I have nothing to do, why don't you? Wouldn't it be a blessing to go to celebrate your birthday? Lin Zi opened his mouth to talk rarely.

Yun Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Where is this blessing?" Tomorrow and tomorrow will be a disaster. ”

Lin Zi looked at her in surprise, could she even think of this layer?

"Actually, you're not stupid at all, you're just pretending to be stupid."

Yun Li booed, "What's the use of being stupid or not?" It's all meat on the board. Do you still care if you buy a pig stew at home, and do you care if the pig can memorize ancient texts? ”

Lin Zi laughed out loud.

Although she was also piggybacking and ridiculed as a pig, she felt that Yun Li had a point.

After Song's mother gave the order, she turned around and went back, chatting with Lin Zi and Yun Li.

But the more the topic is talked, the more awkward it becomes.

Mother Song's violin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the two girls looked confused, and no one knew it;

Mother Song mentioned singing and dancing again, but the two of them were still ignorant.

Mother Song had no choice but to start nagging about the rules of the Hou Mansion and tomorrow's birthday etiquette.

Yun Li pondered whether to sell Lin Zi once?

asked Qiaoyue to go to Donglai, and said that Mrs. Hou forced Lin Zi, who had a white affair in the family, to go to the birthday banquet, and took her business to block.

Because she said that she didn't want to go, Ye Fengye would definitely ignore it......

Lin Zi didn't know that he was secretly targeted by Yun Li.

She sat slowly and methodically, listening, and thinking about the little book that she hadn't finished reading today: The son who rushed to take the high school exam was ungrateful, and did the little lady who had a secret knot go to him to ask for an explanation? Or kill him with a knife?

Here the two are absent-minded.

Mama Chen next door has already given the girls a holiday, and they will go back to practice on their own and rest for two days.

But how can the girls have the heart to practice the piano and learn calligraphy?

got together and scolded Yunli.

"I usually see her pretending to be crazy and stupid, but she is doing tricks behind her back, I really underestimate her!"

"She knows what means, maybe the master chose her!"

"Before she made the prince angry, can the prince still choose her?"

"You forgot that two days ago, Dong came to look for her? She also fooled us and said that it was for her eldest brother's grave sweeping, and she was clearly talking nonsense with her eyes open. ”

"I heard that Donglai and her brother are friends, maybe the wind blew in the ears of the master......"

The girls complained about Yunli, and the more they talked, the more mysterious they became, but the more mysterious they became.

I didn't expect to fight back and forth, which made the most stupid person out of the limelight, and the sense of humiliation doubled, which was really annoying.

"Miss Lin Zi's family has something to do, so she may not be able to go to ......" Ying He suddenly said, and the girls looked at each other.

If Lin Zi doesn't go, wouldn't there be a place left?

Seeing that the Nishang sisters have left the main hall and don't know where to go......

The girls walked and scattered, and some stayed here to prick up their ears to inquire.

Mama Chen was angry and did not go to see Mother Song.

I told her to choose someone before, but there was already a candidate, didn't she treat her as a monkey?

Mama Chen called the errand boy in the other courtyard and told him to ask the prince, "...... Although Mrs. Hou and Mother Song chose someone, the girls are all concubines of the prince, and they must nod before they can go, please give the prince an idea. ”

The little servant received the order and left the courtyard immediately.

The Nishang sisters also sent someone to the palace to ask the queen for their guilt, "...... chose the stupidest concubine to celebrate her birthday, but failed to fight for her mother's face, and asked the queen to forgive her sins. ”

Jiuru's letter of guilt to the concubine is also similar to that of the Nishang sisters.

……

The snow has paved the earth with a layer of brilliant silver, and even the dry branches of the trees have hung a bit of winter pride, no longer barren and desolate.

Ye Fengye was chased by Yu Wenqian to the Criminal Division to drink and see him off.

He wants to leave Beijing to arrest people in other places, and it is not certain whether he can come back for the Chinese New Year.

Letters came one after another.

It's all about the other courtyard and the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

Even the crown prince personally sent someone to deliver the news, asking him to give the Marquis of Ningyuan a decent face tomorrow, and he had already personally helped prepare the birthday gift.

Mrs. Hou's elder brother Zhong Nanhou made great contributions to pacifying the northwest, and his sister Liang Concubine gave birth to a son for the emperor and was very favored.

Mrs. Hou took advantage of the situation to suppress people, and asked Ye Fengye to be soft in front of her.

Yu Wenqian gloated and took back the full wine, "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today, right?" I'll save this wine until the New Year. ”
