It's hard, it's so hard. The only advantage is that he is in the dark and Concubine Liao is in the light. The old pious woman probably never dreamed that her daughter-in-law would dare to kill her, and the daughter-in-law would harm her mother-in-law, which was a heinous crime and would be cut by a thousand knives. Over the years, I have only occasionally heard about my son killing my father, but I have never heard of my daughter-in-law daring to harm her in-laws.

While thinking about it, Xin Nian saw Lychee walking in from outside the courtyard, and her little face was red and fluttering for some reason, not knowing whether it was sunburned or something else.

"Lychee, come in."

Xin Nian saw that there seemed to be a look of shame on her face, so she called someone in and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Who offended us Lychee Girl?".

"Nothing." Lychee "fluttered" and smiled: "Auntie, do you remember the last time we went to the second gate, the nerd who fell down the tree?"

"Oh, remember, that Zhao Chu is, right? He's not a nerd, and I've heard him say that he's the most active of those movers."

"No wonder, I'll just say he's a little out of tune."

Lychee held the handkerchief in her hand, thinking back to Zhao Chu's words and deeds, and couldn't help but smile: "I went to the second gate to find Mother Li to ask her to borrow my eyebrow pencil from the previous son, but when I came out, I saw this guy probing his brain outside the second gate, and when he saw me, he said that he had something important to inquire about, I thought that these were guests after all, and it was not easy to offend, so I had to go over." As a result, he asked me about the third girl, and he also involved his friend, who was called Jiang Yanhui, and praised the other party's integrity. Hum! Obviously, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, I think it should be him thinking about climbing our three girls, so I told him to concentrate on studying, so he has a mind, and he should talk about it after high school. As a result, he said, tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, let me take a few more zongzi in the kitchen to send him, auntie, what is this? It's like we've treated him badly on a good pixel day. Aunt...... Auntie......"

"Oh." Xin Nian suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a few zongzi? If he likes to eat, you can give him a few more, and it's not valuable."

"I won't go, find two boys to send it when the time comes, otherwise I will be seen, and I will gossip again, grandma and Aunt Qiu's concubine Niangniang don't know how many eyeliners they sent to stare at us here, knowing that I am going to send zongzi, can you spare me? It's okay for me, I'm afraid that they will use me to find my aunt's bad luck, so why bother."

"Well, you're thoughtful." Xin Nian nodded: "Well, since you talk about the kitchen, you can go over and take a look, and let Sanniang pack one or two hundred more fancy zongzi, and I will keep them and give them away."

"Yes."

Lychee turned around, and here Xin Nian touched his chin and said to himself: "I think the prince probably hinted at Zhao Chu, he asked someone to inquire about the character of the third girl, and praised Jiang Yanhui's integrity, this is obviously a matchmaker, that is a thoughtful person, if he didn't see through Jiang Yanhui's attitude, he wouldn't be so positive." I think this is to tell me that Jiang Yan has no problem going back there. It's just that...... He could have said this to the prince, why did he have to convey it through the mouth of the lychee? This kid, he probably has some thoughts on lychees, right?"

Xin Nian suddenly remembered that when she heard Yaya's voice rushing over that day, this Zhao Chu was bowing and making amends to Yaya, salivating and calling Sister Lychee, begging her not to blame, Xin Nian didn't think much about it at that time, she just thought that this was the virtue of a merry and talented man, but combined with today's strangeness, she couldn't help but feel a little painting soul in her heart.

"Lychee is two or three years older than him, and he is a slave, even if he is a slave, he can't climb a single lift. If you say that you will be a concubine for him, then it will not work, it is okay to have a main room like me, if you put Liao Jiaru like that, don't you wait to be killed? No, no, no."

"What's not to do? At the door, I see you shake your head like a rattle."

Gu Changting's voice came from the door, Xin Nian hurriedly got up and said with a smile, "Why did you come here at this time? Done with the things out there?"

"It's close to the Dragon Boat Festival, and there's nothing going on, so I'm here to take a look."

Xin Nian knew that it was because he had just taken over the treasury, so he was afraid that those people in the mansion would deliberately disagree with Concubine Liao and the Liao family in order to please Concubine Liao and the Liao family, so he came over to support him, because he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's rare to steal a half-day leisure, it just so happens that the good tea you gave me yesterday, I made a pot when I got up, you taste it."

The two drank tea, and Gu Changting asked her what was wrong. Xin Nian told him about the lychee, and sneered at the end: "I look at this Zhao Chu, and I can't help but think too much

is a little more lively, what he said to you is, why did he deliberately provoke lychee, and he didn't have any bad intentions. You'd better warn him, don't think that you're a merry and talented person, you have to take advantage of a girl, even if you want Lychee to be her concubine, I don't want to."

Gu Changting coughed, rubbed the teacup in his hand, and said softly, "If you don't want to be a concubine, then ...... What if you were a wife?"

"Wife?" Xin Nian was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Are you crazy or am I crazy? Or is Zhao Chu crazy? What is his identity, Lychee is just a slave, even if he gets rid of his slave status, he will not be able to climb high."

Gu Changting nodded and said, "I also think that kid is crazy. But...... It's not like love at first sight is not without love in this world, don't you say?"

Xin Nian looked at him with a smile, stuffed a cherry into his mouth, and said leisurely: "I think that nine out of ten of you men's love at first sight is love."

Gu Changting chewed on the cherry and defended inarticulately, "Then Zhao Chu may be the rest of the part."

Xin Nian looked Gu Changting up and down, and suddenly frowned and said, "If you don't discuss the marriage of the third sister with me, why are you so enthusiastic about Zhao Chu?" Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"How so? I'm just saying it casually." Gu Changting spit out the cherry core and thought: Zhao Chu, you either honestly wait for the title of the gold list; Either you rely on your own efforts, whether you will be beaten or not I dare not guarantee, this king can only help you get here.

*****************

"There were a few rains after the Dragon Boat Festival this year, and there have been two or three more in the Midyear Festival a while ago, so it should be a bumper harvest year this year, right?"

"We don't have a good harvest here, what's the matter? The important thing is the south, haven't you heard that the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full?"

"You can't say that, aren't the people on our side just a few days away? If there is a good harvest, they will be richer."

Xin Nian and Aunt Gu Qiu Liao's family went to the concubine's courtyard to ask for peace together, and met halfway, although they hated each other in their hearts, they all pretended to be harmonious on their faces, chatting without a match.

When I came to the concubine's courtyard, I saw that the big tent in the courtyard was open, and Concubine Liao was sitting inside drinking tea and eating snacks.
