Lu Li did not follow Eleven Niang to another destination, he just did his duty of "escort", and when he arrived at the door of Yuweixuan, he said goodbye to Eleven Niang, and intended to confess in front of many servants: "Although it is a gift for my uncle and mother-in-law, Eleven Sister should not delay too long outside, and it is good to return to Shangqingguan as soon as possible." ”

It turned out that Eleven Niang deliberately went on this trip, although she was not obstructed by Yingyang Zhenren, but she was not unnecessarily suspicious of the servants, and she still found an excuse to prepare a gift for her mother-in-law, she had always had dealings with Pei Ying, and this matter could not be concealed from the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother also knew that Pei Ying was a member of the Pei clan, but she did not know that the two brothers and sisters were protected by Pei Gong back then, but the Shuzhiyuan clan is now a mere businessman, and the descendants of later generations will no longer have a chance to enter the office, and the Queen Mother will not put these two people in her eyes, so she did not tell Eleven Niang to stay away from the surname Pei.

But not long after Eleven Niang entered, she came out with Pei Ying, and she actually wanted to go to Pei's house, although Binu would not question much, Fu Yuan did not know so much, and was worried about Eleven Niang's trip to befriend a good businesswoman, so she dissuaded: "Didn't Xue Liulang also advise the little lady not to delay too long, but just to prepare gifts for the lady, why do you need to go to someone else's house?" ”

Eleven Niang didn't blame Fu Yuan for being troublesome, and patiently explained: "Yuweixuan is a wine shop, how can it be suitable for a birthday gift?" I heard Pei Niangzi say that there are just a few rare things in her house, because they are valuable, they are not suitable to move, and it is more convenient for me to go to the selection, if it is suitable, make a decision on the spot, and let Pei Niangzi send it to the home It is more appropriate. ”

When Fu Yuan heard this, it was inconvenient to obstruct it more, how could she have thought that Eleven Niang wanted to see Pei Zijian this time, but Pei Wan was not in Yuweixuan, but at home for leisure, if she made a special trip to invite someone to meet, it would be a little unreasonable, so Eleven Niang found an excuse and simply went to Pei's house.

And to the destination, Eleven Niang found an excuse to sympathize with Fu Yuan's tiredness, and asked her to sit in the flower hall to drink pulp, and she only took Binu with Pei Ying to "choose a congratulatory gift", only three people entered a flower garden in the inner house, Eleven Niang saw at a glance that Pei Sange, a wealthy businessman, was actually sitting by the water's edge and fishing leisurely, and there was a five-year-old child pouting and depicting the post, and his expression was very reluctant, Pei Sange clearly did not look sideways, but as if he saw the child unwilling, he stretched out his arm and "rewarded" very accurately A child's finger bends.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile, but Pei Ying was a little annoyed, and explained to Eleven Niang angrily: "It's the eldest son of a concubine, and he has always been naughty and active, and my brother takes time out of his busy schedule to teach, but the dog complains a lot." ”

Eleven Niang was slightly surprised: "I also said that he was the son of Pei Lang, and it turned out to be Ling Lang." ”

"My brother is busy with business, and he has no wife yet." Pei Ying hastily explained, seeing that the maid of Eleven Niang had consciously stopped her pace, so she also stepped forward quickly, told the nurse to lead her son to go, and dismissed a few maids, and then explained to her brother: "Liu Shiyi Niang has something to discuss with Brother today." ”

Pei Zijian just turned his head to look, but Eleven Niang had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "Pei Lang is so idle." ”

Zijian stood up to salute, pointed to the pavilion not far away, and motioned to invite Eleven Niang to come over and speak.

The three of them sat down, Pei Ying poured a few peach syrups on the side, she was also curious why Shi Niang made a special trip to see her brother today, but she didn't leave, of course Shi Niang didn't avoid Pei Ying, so she didn't mention the topic for the time being, the corners of her lips were clear, but her eyes were staring at Zijian: "Pei Lang's trip to the Northeast this time has achieved great results, which is really gratifying." ”

The brother and sister were stunned because of this, just because although the two of them knew that Liu Shiyi Niang was helping the King of Jin at this time, they didn't expect such a confidential matter to be known by Shi Niang, but of course Pei Zijian didn't make too much fuss, and also replied: "The little lady came to see her today, but there is something to discuss, but it doesn't matter, if Pei can help, he will definitely spare no effort." ”

"It's a private matter." Seeing that Third Brother Pei was so refreshing, Eleven Niang no longer beat around the bush: "There is a person who has a relationship with Pei Lang's brothers and sisters, I don't know if Pei Lang has ever heard of the concubine Xuanji of Yuwenshe?" ”

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, with Wei Yuanping's recommendation, Yu Wensheng has been promoted from Chang'an Ling to Zhongshushe, Pei Zijian, who has been paying attention to the political situation, will of course not be unaware, but he has no friendship with Yu Wensheng, and it is impossible to know the details of Xuanji, at this time, it is inevitable that he will be puzzled, and only respond with the word "oh".

No wonder He Zhan confessed that he had been staring at him for several years, except for the last time he secretly funded He Shaozu, Pei's third brother and sister had no contact with Liuniang, and they had never even approached Yu Wensheng, it turned out that Liuniang had never told the brothers and sisters where they were now, and Eleven Niang was open-minded and directly revealed the mystery: "As far as I know, this concubine is the sister of Pei Houshu back then, the sixth in the clan, and the ex-wife of He Shaozu." ”

Pei Ying simply exclaimed: "Really? How does the little lady perceive? ”

Eleven Niang said: "As for how I know, don't ask more questions, don't worry about the two of you, I will keep my mouth shut about Xuanji's identity, but I need Pei Niangzi to ask for it on my behalf, I know that Xuanji can't let go of the old grudges of the year, and has been concealing her identity and deliberately befriending Fang's family, so I need to borrow Xuanji's mouth to remind Fang's family that there is one person, which is very conducive to her climbing power and attaching nobles, so you might as well make friends." ”

After such a careful explanation, Eleven Niang did not forget to explain: "Since the two of them are old for Xuanji, presumably this trivial matter will not be rejected, and if this matter is done well, if Xuanji retaliates against He Shaozu in the future, I will also help, but I don't want to have too much contact with Xuanji, and the two of you don't want to say that this matter is what I want, don't rest assured, no matter how this matter progresses, it will not hinder Xuanji in the slightest, and it will be beneficial and harmless for the overall situation." ”

What is the "overall situation", of course Pei Zijian knows it, seeing that Eleven Niang is so confident, he simply agreed, but after Eleven Niang said goodbye, Pei Ying was full of anxiety: "Brother, how can Liu Eleven Niang know the identity of Sixth Niang?" Is it true that my brother promised to do this? Should I consult with the king? ”

Zijian pondered for a long time, and shook his head slightly: "The king is now surrounded by eyeliner, if it is not an important matter, you can't risk meeting, Liu Shiniang got straight to the point today, and said that my trip to the northeast is to imply that you and me, now she is the king's henchman, such a trivial matter, there is no need to risk alarming the king, the first emperor suddenly collapsed, the king's life and death line, don't say that you and I can't whip up, even the Jiangnei servants can't do anything, if it weren't for Liu Shiyi Niang and Xue Liulang and other secret help, the king is only afraid that he can't turn the crisis into safety, Liu Shiyi Niang's means and abilities, I'm afraid it's far beyond your and my expectations, since she has already explained that this matter is not harmful to the overall situation, and even beneficial and harmless, we don't have to worry, but I never thought that Liu Niang would be a concubine...... It seems that Yu Wensheng is a person, and we have to pay close attention to it. ”

So he made a decision: "Liuniang's identity, I am inconvenient to come forward to ask to see, this matter must be done by you, remember the eleventh Niang's advice, bring the words to you, you ask Liuniang in private, she can feel wronged now, if she intends to get rid of the current situation, of course we are duty-bound, the ancestral bloodline, only she is alive, if we ignore it, even if the future is a great success, it is also worthy of the ancestors' protection and cherishing grace." ”

Of course, Pei Ying would not refuse, so she prepared a gift, and went to Yuwen's house to see her the next day, since there was no laborer to move the crowd, she carefully avoided her ears and eyes, and even found the shopkeeper who funded He Shaozu, the shopkeeper was not affiliated with Zijian's brothers and sisters on the surface, but because he had funded He Shao's group, Xuanji naturally would not be ignorant, although he wondered why this person suddenly came to make friends, he did not refuse not to see, until he saw Pei Ying who was dressed as a small servant behind Shang Jia, Xuanji was surprised.

After retiring from the idle and miscellaneous, Pei Ying didn't wait for Xuanji to ask, but her eyes were red: "Liuniang...... A few years ago, Liu Niang took the initiative to meet, and then there was no news, I and my brother have been worried, and it was easy to find out where Liu Niang lives now, Liu Niang, why did she succumb to concubine? ”

Xuanji didn't ask for details again, not as sad and sad as Pei Ying, she only smiled indifferently: "If it weren't for Yuwen Langjun's ministering back then, I'm afraid that I would still be an official prostitute at this time, and the situation would only be more unbearable, Sister Ying doesn't need to grieve for me, now my husband treats me very kindly, but fortunately, I met the master's virtuous and generous mother, I didn't suffer the slightest contempt, otherwise it would not be so easy to have a private meeting with Sister Ying today." ”

Since Xuanji said so, Pei Ying's words to help her get out of the sea of suffering were difficult to say, and after taking a deep breath to calm her mood, she told Shi Niang's request.

"Let the Fang clan make friends with He Langjiang's wife, the Wei clan? Why is that? Xuanji asked with a frown.

"I want to provoke the relationship between Princess Yichuan and the princess of the county, Liuniang doesn't need to talk much to the Fang family, my brother and I have already made arrangements on the Wei family's side, and the key idea is up to the Wei family, which will not cause any harm to Liuniang, but will cause disaster for the Fang family."

As long as the Fang clan is not good, Xuanji is of course happy to see it, so she simply agreed neatly, and only explained to Pei Ying: "The identities of the third brother and Sister Ying are already delicate, and they must not be too close to me, otherwise they are afraid that they will bury disasters for Yuwen Langjun, and if there is a need for the two of them in the future, I will send someone to contact me privately." ”

Pei Ying naturally understands the subtle truth of identity, although she is reluctant to give up Liuniang, she has to endure it for the time being, and still pretends to be a little maid to say goodbye to the shopkeeper, but at the corner door, she is seeing a dusty man, although he is middle-aged, he is very graceful and graceful, and he just said good words to persuade the porter: "I am an old friend of Yuwenjun Lingnan, and I came to Kyoto for something, and I hope to say goodbye, even if Yuwenjun is not in the house, I will not see Xuanji Niangzi." ”

Pei Ying couldn't help but glance at the man, and said in her heart that this person didn't mention Yuwensheng's wife Wan, just mentioning Liuniang, should know that many housework is actually taken care of by Xuanji, and it seems that Yuwensheng knows how to make friends.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the porter didn't dare to slack off anymore, and directly invited people to sit in the side hall.
