The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The slave family's nickname is Shitao, who has served in the Tang Mansion since childhood, and now I chose the concubine of Lord Su, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." As soon as the slave family saw Mama, they knew that they cherished the weak, and they hoped that Mama would take care of more matters in the house in the future. stepped forward and gave another salute, then grabbed Mama Qing's sleeve, pretended to speak affectionately, and secretly handed her a piece of broken gold into her sleeve.

Mama Qing smiled all over her face and said, "This looks good, it just hurts!" took Shi Tao's hand, asked her age, and said: "Don't worry, the grandmothers of our palace are all kind-hearted, and since they are the daughters of Lord Su, they will treat you well." He turned around and ordered the little maids to bring snacks and tea for the girls.

Then he instructed the concubines of the palace and said: "They are selected by the Tang Mansion, and they will all live together in the future, like sisters, you recognize each other's faces, and get along with each other." At this time, Aunt Ligu was busy and didn't care about questioning, so you should rest together first, don't make any noise, the ten maids in the palace will come in soon. After Mama Qing finished speaking, she glanced at Zi Ning viciously, and then went to the main hall to see Aunt Li.

Zi Ning just didn't see it, just now she saw Shi Tao giving money to Qing Mama, and thought: "Do you want to give gifts when you are a concubine?" Anyway, I have already offended Qing Mama, and it is useless to give gifts, she may not be better to me. Xianggui's face was full of disdain, and she whispered: "Look at them, they have a posture of no one in their eyes, as if they are superior, everyone has the same identity, and they are carried away." ”

Green Ring and Manzhu stood on one left and one right, and hurriedly pulled Xianggui's sleeve, Green Ring said: "Whether they are good or not, it has nothing to do with us, don't talk so much." Let's go over there and sit on the couch. The four of them went to sit down on the side of the couch first, but the other women sat on the other side, unwilling to be with them.

Xianggui was a little angry and couldn't help complaining, Zi Ning pulled her and said lightly: "It's useless to twist them, everyone has their own ambitions, sister, don't care about these." ”

Seeing that there was no grandmother in the house, the ladies of the Tang Mansion became lively, laughing at will, and ten people knelt on the couch near the table, drinking tea and eating snacks.

The side hall is next to the garden corridor, and a long couch runs through the east and west walls, almost covering most of the side hall. In the early spring, the weather is warm, and the sunlight shines through the window lattice, which makes the mat a little warm.

The ladies of the Tang Mansion were smiling, sitting around the couch and drinking, with a sound of chirping.

Seeing that they were talking and laughing, the maids of the palace were separated from each other, and they didn't speak to each other, looking cold. I couldn't help but sigh: "They are all from the Tang Mansion, they have known each other for a long time, the sisters are called together, how lively and close, look at our side ......"

Zi Ning gave the tea to everyone, nodded and said, "The ten of them have one heart, and the rope is twisted into a force, so they will not be bullied." ”

Xianggui picked up the tea bowl, glanced over there, covered her mouth with the tea bowl, and said: "The people from this Tang Mansion are really weird, they came to be concubines, as if they had chosen a concubine, they were so happy!"

Manzhu said faintly: "Look at what they are wearing, isn't it like choosing a concubine, all of them are golden hairpins, how can the people of our palace compare?" Zi Ning raised his eyes and looked over, the ladies of the Tang Mansion were boasting about their jewelry, their eyes deliberately glanced to this side, specifically to show them, and there was a sense of pride between their eyebrows.

Zi Ning said helplessly: "Our dress is a little old, so what? If it is a good thing to be a woman, Yan'er will not hang herself. When the three of them heard this, they all nodded silently, each picked up their tea bowls, and no longer looked at those people in the Tang Mansion.

The four of them sat around the couch, and the other five people in the palace sat silently on the corner couch, their expressions all faint.

Seeing that the people in the palace were silent, a girl in the Tang Mansion sighed: "Oh, did the people in the palace take dumb medicine for breakfast?"

Another person catered and said: "They can't afford to eat dumb medicine, look at that cold look, which side of the house was picked from, it's really hard for them." ”

All the women covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this, Xianggui wanted to get up, but was pulled by Zi Ning, and whispered: "They just want to provoke, why should my sister wade into troubled waters." ”

Green Ring also nodded and said, "The mouth is on their faces, let them say it." Let's just pretend we didn't hear or see. ”

Xianggui glanced at the people in the Tang Mansion hatefully, "snorted", and said, "I'll let them say a few more words, accumulate a lot of anger, and then go up and tear their mouths!"

Seeing that Xianggui was angry, Manzhu hurriedly turned the conversation, looked at the people in the palace, and whispered: "I seem to have seen that girl, so familiar." ”

Zi Ning looked through the bottles on the two couch tables, and saw that the frost goose was drinking tea by herself, and the other big girl had a melon seed face and fair skin, which was more beautiful and handsome than the frost goose.

Xianggui also looked over, glanced at it for a long time, patted Zi Ning's arm, pursed her lips and smiled: "We people, your appearance is the most beautiful, if it weren't for this old dress to cover up, they would have to hate you to death!" Reaching out and pinching her cheek, she joked: "If I were Lord Su, I would spoil you every day!"

Zi Ning's face suddenly turned crimson, her manzhu eyes blinked twice, and she also smiled and nodded: "Exactly, I have heard that Zi Ning in the big dining room is as beautiful as a fairy, and when I see you today, I will know that it is not a lie." Although the two people from the inner house are also beautiful, they are not as good as you. ”

Green Huan grabbed Zi Ning, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Then it goes without saying, with our Ning'er here, no one in Dongyuan dares to call it the first." Even if Master Su sees it, he will bow down to Ning'er's skirt......"

Zi Ning blushed and bit her lip, and poked it on the forehead of the green ring, "Green ring, you also say the same about me......" She already had a place in her heart, and when she heard this, she didn't feel a little gloomy.

Luhuan stuck out his tongue, and suddenly remembered that Zining's sweetheart was the crown prince, and he should never tell her Master Su. But the prince is far away, and she has no chance to see each other again. This Lord Su is close in front of her, but she doesn't like it. sighed secretly in her heart, Ning'er was really pitiful!

The four of them were talking, and Shi Tao from the Tang Mansion suddenly got up and said loudly: "Since our sisters are here, don't see outside." In the future, we will always meet by Lord Su's side, and today we have such a rare opportunity, how about recognizing our faces?"

One of the maidens in the palace came out, and it was the eldest girl who was the most outstanding, and said with a smile: "Little sister Yincicada, I have seen Sister Shitao." Wei gave Shi Tao a salute, and Shi Tao immediately returned the salute, and both of them raised their eyes and looked at each other.

Shi Tao has a long face, delicate and charming, but the silver cicada is a beautiful character, and a pair of eyes on the melon seed face blinked, looking very smart.

Zi Ning listened carefully, the name Silver Cicada was very familiar, and Manzhu said timidly on the side: "Silver Cicada is the personal maid of the county lord, and it is really strange that she also came to be a maid." ”

Zi Ning remembered that he was hiding in the clothes box in the county lord's house that day, and heard the county lord calling the maid silver cicada.

This silver cicada has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and is good at provoking people, saying bad things about Zining in front of the county lord, and scolding "cooking girl" and "cheap maid", which caused the county lord to hate her.

Zi Ning remembered the events of that day, and secretly worried in her heart, it was really a narrow road for enemies, but they all ran together. At this time, Xianggui said: "What's strange about this, it must have been arranged by Ligu, this silver cicada is not a good kind at first glance, with her with us, there will be excitement in the future." ”

Shi Tao raised her sleeves, stepped forward to take the hand of the silver cicada, and said with a smile: "I like my sister when I see it." My sister's appearance is pretty and catchy, how can she dress so plainly, covering up her stunning appearance. The expression on her face was very intimate, as if she had not seen her own sisters for many years.

The silver cicada tilted her head slightly, the silver step on her bun shook the tassel twice, her eyes blinked, and she said: "My sister is the national color and fragrance, how can I compare." My sister has an extraordinary bearing, and she looks enviable, thinking that in the Tang Mansion before, my sister must have served the young lady's son. ”

The whole room stared at the silver cicada, seeing that she was wearing a plain dark dress and skirt, with wide sleeves covering her hands, a smile at the corner of her mouth when she spoke, her eyes showed a trace of flowing color, her voice was crisp and pleasant, and every word was sincere and moving.

Zi Ning knew that she was not easy to get along with, but she didn't understand what she wanted, so she actually made love with the concubine of the Tang Mansion.

Shi Tao revealed the dense gold stump on her wrist, her eyes turned, she smiled, and replied: "My sister is accurate in looking at people, I have served the lord and the eldest prince, and the guests of the Tang Mansion have also seen some of them. Over the years, I have been squeamish, and my vision is higher than others. When I wear jewelry like this, I didn't dare to see anyone, but it doesn't hurt to show my sister. As he spoke, he made a loud noise with a string of gold shackles on his wrist.

As soon as Shi Tao arrived in the mansion, she saw that the style of the courtyard of the palace was on par with that of the Tang Mansion, but the maids and slaves she saw along the way were dressed normally, far less dazzling than the people in the Tang Mansion. I first had a little disdain in my heart, and then saw that although the silver cicada was beautiful, it was not powdered, and the clothes were not as gorgeous as the Tang Mansion, and the other ladies in the palace were even more shabby, so I couldn't help but be arrogant, and I didn't look down on it in my heart.

Silver Cicada glanced at the string of golden chrysons, revealing a look of yearning and reverie, and said: "My sister has seen little of the world since she was a child, and she is definitely not as good as her sister. Now that I have entered the East Garden, I have to rely on my sister to take care of me. As he spoke, he gave Shi Tao a salute.

Shi Tao was even more proud, covered Jin Chuzi with her sleeves, raised her eyes and said: "Sister, don't see each other, from now on, how about the two of us be closer, how about being commensurate with sisters?" I brought more clothes, if you don't dislike it, take a few to wear first, my sister's clothes don't look like new, how to go to see Master Su like this, how to make it?"

When the silver cicada saw that the skirt was bright pink, she pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister's clothes are so gorgeous, I can't wear them." He put his clothes back in Shi Tao's arms.

Shi Tao was very puzzled, and asked strangely, "Why can't you wear it?" The women also followed strangely, listening to her reasoning. Zi Ning had been watching coldly, and when she saw a sneer in the silver cicada's smoke-like eyes, she knew that she didn't have any good intentions.

Yinciao's face turned red, pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister said it, sister don't be careful." ”

Shi Tao was a little dazed, nodded and said, "You can tell me about it." ”————
