Slender jade hand, picked up a finely carved coral ornament, the transparent red color is more and more lined with the woman's fingers like shaved onions, no fat powder on her face, a touch of red lips with a light smile but like cherry red, Xuanji lazily raised her eyelids, looked at the dissatisfied woman who was sitting opposite and couldn't hide the dissatisfaction on her face, and the tone when she spoke also had a kind of laziness that made the bones soft: "Fang Niangzi came suddenly, I didn't have time to put on makeup, didn't the lady think I was sluggish?" ”

For the ladies of the Great Zhou, careful makeup is the minimum etiquette when meeting guests, although there is a natural beauty, but the face of the noble person has always been a little unwilling, although Fang's today is to please flattery, but in his heart he still feels that Xuanji is just a mere concubine, and he is so ignorant of the system, so he sat down, and his face was a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, at this time, the Fang family actually acquiesced in the snubbing, but he thought that he was clever and avoided talking about it: "The concubine has been here many times, and I always want to see Wan Niangzi, but unfortunately it is not a pity to go back, why, Wan Niangzi went out again today?" ”

He Shaozu, a person who is proficient in drilling, how could he marry such a stupid "internal helper".

Xuanji sneered in her heart, but the smile on her face was a smile: "My lady likes to be pure, and rarely sees guests in leisure, and the Ming Mansion also advises me to share my worries more for my mother, don't let people easily disturb the lady and make her annoyed." ”

During this time, Fang's family often went in and out of the aristocratic mansions, and gradually some official wives had dealings with her, thinking that this time was different from the past, when she heard Xuanji actually ridicule her, she was immediately angry, but when she thought of her husband's words before going out today, she said that Yu Wensheng's Chang'an order is now quite important to Wei Yuanping, and he has the heart to carry it, but it is something that cannot be sought.

Therefore, he prepared a heavy gift, but He Shaozu, who was unprovoked, did not come to the door, and only explained that Fang's family and Yuwen Daling's family members enhanced their friendship.

Thinking of her husband's future, it was easy for the Fang family to endure the anger in their hearts, and according to her husband's explanation, she talked about the progress of these days in a gossipy tone, how many Xue and Feng henchmen she had intersected with, what hidden secrets she had discovered, and several subordinates that Mao Xiangguo trusted were quite trusted, and through their mouths, the existence of He Shaozu was mentioned from time to time, but after all, there was still an opportunity to be owed.

In the end, Fang Shiqiang squeezed out a smile: "My grandson said, thanks to the Yu Wenming Mansion, he has a direction, and he has thought about coming to the door to thank him, but he is worried that the Ming Mansion is busy with official business, so he hesitates and doesn't bother." ”

Xuanji didn't put on a shelf anymore, leaned against the table, and squinted slightly: "Since He Zhanggu has this heart, I will tell the Ming Mansion that although the Ming Mansion has a lot of official business, it is not so busy that he can't even spare time to meet guests." ”

That's what you promised? Fang's heart was overjoyed.

However, Xuanji immediately sank her face again: "Fang Niangzi, there are some things that I shouldn't have talked about in the first place, but because Yu Wenming Mansion has the intention to mention He Zhanggu, I heard those gossips again, and I noticed hidden dangers, so I can't help but remind you...... Is He Zhanggu's mother in poor health? I heard that it is necessary to recuperate with medicine for many years. ”

Fang didn't know what Xuanji's intentions were for a while, and nodded dumbfoundedly: "How did the lady know about this?" ”

"How do you know?" Xuanji smiled: "I heard people talk about it, saying that you have lost your filial piety, dislike your mother-in-law's illness and weakness, refuse to serve before the bed, and even the medicine supplement is harsh, this is not good, even if ordinary people commit unfilial piety, they will be hanged, not to mention that He Zhanggu is still a person in the officialdom, if he is not stopped, He Zhanggu will be easily promoted in the future, but he will be impeached by political enemies with this handle......"

Fang Shi couldn't help but be furious anymore, and actually slapped the tea case: "This is a bloody squirting person!" Over the years, if I hadn't used the dowry to make up for it and asked for a doctor's decoction for the Ah family, her body would have been unable to drag on, if I wasn't filial, there would be no filial piety in this world! ”

"He Zhanggu is just a foreign official now, who will use this out of nothing to slap him? Therefore, I kindly reminded Fang Niangzi to think carefully about who this is aimed at and what the purpose is. After saying this, Xuanji had already gotten up: "Okay, I'm a little unwell today, so I'll be with you soon." ”

Seeing that the Fang clan seemed to be enlightened, and left in a hurry, Xuanji smiled coldly.

He Shaozu's mother, Tang, on the surface looks kind and weak, but in the bones is the most insatiable, when she was the daughter-in-law of the He family, Tang used illness as an excuse to make her turn around, not to mention, the ginseng bird's nest has not been broken all year round, the He family is simply destitute, and all the expenses are from her dowry, she endured these things, because since she entered the He family, she did not regard the two mothers and sons as outsiders.

But when Pei Zheng was in trouble, He Shaozu immediately turned his face, if she only wanted to protect herself and propose peace, she would not be incomprehensible, but the Tang family did not want the He family to bear this ungrateful name, and discussed with He Shaozu to poison her!

It seems that a mother-in-law like the Tang family, now has a daughter-in-law like the Fang family, how can there be no suspicion between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Fang family's dowry is far less generous than she was back then, I am afraid that the Tang family has always complained less, not to mention now, seeing that He Shaozu himself can use the name of Liu Shiyi to collect money, and will no longer rely on the Fang family, the Tang family is only afraid that it will be even more high-level.

The Tang family is already old, I'm afraid I can't wait for the day when He Shaozu ascends to the top and falls, if the hypocritical and vicious old woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion dies in glory and wealth, how can Xuanji be willing? He Shaozu still has to rely on Mao Wei to promote, the Fang family, the Yue family, is an indispensable link, he can't be guilty, and the other party can only bow his head and ears.

At the beginning, the mother and son wanted to kill her in order to protect themselves, so now, she also wants to let the Tang family taste the bitter fruit of her son abandoning her as a mother because of his future.

Fang's back turned, completely blocked by the wall, Xuanji got up at this time, glanced at the gifts on the several, and told the maid to hold it properly, she took the lead in front, and arrived at the Wan's residence, at this time, the body was lazy but never seen again, but respectfully saluted, just waiting for her to bow down, but Wan immediately helped the person up, and said with a smile: "Xuanji, come to the staff officer, these are the gifts I prepared for May 5th, and the old friends of relatives and friends are also repaid, I am still not sure, whether it is too simple to send to Wei Xiangfu." ”

Xuanji took a closer look and saw that it was just a five-hour chart, a long-lived thread, and a nine-son dumpling, and other seasonal gifts, and responded with a smile: "If you give it to relatives and friends, these are enough." ”

In other words, it was really simple to send it to Wei Xiangfu.

Wan Shi frowned, motioned for the servant to retreat, and then sighed: "I was thinking, if you give something valuable, it will be too eye-catching, I am afraid that it will damage Lang Jun's reputation." ”

"Lady, now the situation is not as good as before, Lang Jun made up his mind to go through Wei Xiang's door to return to the capital, and Wei Xiang has always been greedy for money, and the gifts given by his protégés on the New Year's Festival are all precious and rare, if we only do the most of the gifts, wouldn't it be out of place?"

Wan shook his head, obviously accepted Xuanji's suggestion, and held her hand again: "Xuanji, all these years, thanks to you...... I was born stupid, and the family can't help Lang Jun in any way, so I can only worry about the affairs of the back house, which can't help Lang Jun's career at all, but fortunately, with you, I can often solve problems for Lang Jun. ”

Xuanji hurriedly asked: "Lady's words, the concubine body dare not be, the concubine body is just a lowly official prostitute, if it were not for Lang Jun's righteous assistance, I could only fall into the mud and filth for the rest of my life, although I died with the help of Lang Jun, I have this beloved identity, but if it is not for the lady's tolerance and generosity, and does not regard the concubine as a lowly person, the concubine body is not today." Lady, Lang Jun loves her very much, and she must not be presumptuous. ”

These words made Wan Shi sigh with emotion: "It is indeed you and I lucky to meet Lang Jun in this life." ”

Lucky, very lucky indeed.

Although Pei Liuniang was not sentenced to death, but was exiled to Gaoliang County as a slave, but because of her beautiful appearance, the place in Lingnan was far away from the emperor of the sky, and the central court whip was beyond her reach, so it was normal to turn a beautiful official slave into an official prostitute.

It is hoped that the daughter will once become a cheap prostitute, and the difference can be described as a world of abyss.

Pei Liuniang also thought about committing suicide in order to protect her innocence, and would rather die than be defiled, but the resentment and hatred in her heart still made her give up her dignity after all, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for revenge, she must spare no effort to grasp it.

Today's Xuanji, of course, is very grateful for her persistence at that time.

Because she was looking forward to Yu Wensheng as the assassin of Gaozhou.

Yu Wensheng was surprised at first that there were such official prostitutes who were proficient in music and rhythm in Lingnan, so he secretly paid attention, and when he found out Pei Liuniang's identity, he met in private, and he got straight to the point: "The lady endures humiliation and steals her life, she should have a plan, I can help you." ”

The man was loud at the time, without mentioning conditions, and his eyes were calm.

He helped her die, forged a good book for her, and was sheltered in the house, where she was treated as a guest for a time.

Gradually, she understood his ambitions, and for this man, she went from gratitude to admiration.

She would rather be a concubine for him, although such an identity was something that Pei Liuniang had never expected before.

But it was Xuanji's luck.
