Lan Xin entered the palace, first went to greet the Queen Mother according to the etiquette, and then went to Kunning Palace to kowtow.

She is not close to Yaxian, even though she calls her "Emperor Mother", the gap is very clear, Yaxian has long since given up on taking the initiative to repair the gap, and Lan Xin has never thought of repairing it.

So, a simple meeting, just a few polite words you asked me to answer.

In just one stick of incense, Lan Xin came out of Kunning Palace and headed for her own palace.

After a brief wash, I heard that Qing Gege came to visit.

Lan Xin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please come in, please."

Then, the concubine-colored curtain was lifted, and a smiling woman walked in.

She looked very good, full of the youthful vitality that Lan Xin had long lost.When Lan Xin saw it, her heart became even more sour.

Qing'er, on the other hand, offered to come over. Fortunately, the Queen Mother never assigned Lan Xin to the Kunning Palace, so she agreed.According to the Queen Mother, although Lan Xin has been married once, if she finds a concubine in Niu Gulu's house, she can marry again.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, I miss you very much," Qing'er said generously, "I have made some gadgets for you every year these years. Although they are not fancy, they are still a kindness. You can keep them."

She took out her purse, handkerchief and other things from her sleeve.Lan Xin looked at the stitches on the top, and her heart suddenly warmed up: "It's hard for you to remember me."

She smiled sadly: "Qing'er, you don't know how much I envy you. Your life hasn't started yet, but mine has already ended."

Qing'er took out a red gold hairpin, "I kept this for Madam Cui, and I have had it for more than three years."

When Mother Cui saw that the hairpin was actually her favorite orchid pattern, and it was not inlaid with prohibited things such as pearls, she was moved, she hurriedly thanked her, and volunteered to pour tea for Qing'er herself.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qing'er saw that there was no one else in the room, Fang said, "What life is over? How old are you?"

"Isn't it? Qing'er, sometimes I really envy you. The queen mother treats you so well, she will only take you with her wherever she goes. But the queen, she has her own child. To me, hehe. Qing'er, I really envy you." Lan Xin smiled wryly.

Qing'er walked over and held her hand: "Lan Xin, you envy me, but you don't know, I envy you even more."

Lan Xin raised her head: "Don't you comfort me, why should I envy you?"

"Of course." Qing'er looked sincerely, "Let's talk about the first thing first, did the empress ask you to get up at Yin time every day to serve her when she washes up?"

Lan Xin smiled: "She dares! That's what court ladies do, why should I do it?"

Qing'er smiled lightly: "But I have been doing it every day since I was six years old."

Lan Xin opened her eyes wide: "Ah? But, but you are Gege..."

"If I don't do this, why would the Empress Dowager like me?" Qing'er smiled lightly, "Others say that I am a celebrity in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and the Empress Dowager loves me very much, but they didn't see it. Ever since I knew that I was Wangfu Gege, I knew that in this palace, apart from being attached to the Queen Mother, she couldn't leave me, otherwise, who would remember me?"

"I get up at Yin time every day to serve the Empress Dowager to wash. I rest at midnight and copy the scriptures for the Empress every day. I am afraid that the stories in the scriptures are not as well known as I by ordinary bhikkhunis. I know what the Empress Dowager likes to eat. What to wear, she just glanced over, and I knew what she was going to do. Otherwise, why can't the Queen Mother leave me?"

"But, you are raised under the Empress Dowager's lap, shouldn't she always remember you?" Lan Xin still didn't believe it.

"Yeah, originally, I thought so too, but a few days ago, when talking about choosing a concubine for the emperor, the queen mother remembered to ask me how old I am this year when someone reminded me." Not at all angry, "Well, the queen mother wants me to marry into Niu Gulu's family."

Lan Xin smiled and said, "This is a good thing. The Queen Mother still loves you."

"Lan Xin, how many things did the Qi Palace leave for you back then?" Qing'er asked suddenly.

Lan Xin thought about it carefully: "When I got married, the queen gave me all those as a dowry, and added some more. Now there are probably more than 50 shops, twenty farms, and cash..."

She gritted her teeth: "It was all taken away by that Fucha Haozhen! If Mother Cui didn't insist on not agreeing to my shop and farm, they might have been tricked away by him too!"

Qing'er smiled slightly: "When did you know that you have so many things?"

"I was 15 years old. At that time, the queen said that she would marry me, so she gave me the list. Mother Cui said that the number on the list was enough, but the queen mother reminded me at that time. The queen is going to marry me Mongolian thoughts..."

"But I, until now, don't know how many things the Prince Yu's Mansion has left for me," Qing'er interrupted her, "One day I accidentally heard Nanny Gui talking to the Queen Mother. The remaining pharmacies were sold."

Lan Xin was taken aback: "Did you hear it wrong? How is it possible?"

"Now, do you know?" Qing'er smiled, "I envy you so much. I am that monkey, that plaything, and I try my best to make the Queen Mother smile. I envy you, the Queen has never let you beat your legs with tea You live as a princess, and I live as a slave. Also, Lan Xin, how could you be so naive? Think about it carefully. At that time, in this palace, apart from the queen mother, who else said a word about being pro-Mongolian? of?"

Lan Xin went limp, and she seemed to see Mrs. Wuxin say to her again: "Benefactor, what you see may not be true..."

"I'm here to tell you something," Qing'er looked at her with complicated eyes, "It seems that the Queen Mother intends to find you a concubine at Niu Yulu's house. At that time, you must remember that this dowry cannot be given to others at will." .”

"Lan Xin, you are so well protected..."

----

Mrs. Wuxin knelt on the futon, knocking on the wooden fish.

After a long time, she put down her spine and sighed: "Benefactor, you have been kneeling for a long time."

Behind her, there was a voice that she never expected: "Master Wuxin."

Master Wuxin was too startled, she turned around and saw the man kneeling on the futon, wearing a green shirt, his face still pale.

"Benefactor, you're awake." She adjusted her breathing and said calmly.

"I'm Aojia Fu Dun, who lives in Qingzhou. I'm going to Beijing ahead of next year's exam. I don't want to encounter bad people. If it wasn't for my teacher, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Huangquan Road for the exam." He smiled lightly, unusually elegant.

Master Wuxin inevitably thought about it, this Aojia Fu Dun, could it be the Zhengbaiqi family?But how could the Aojia family settle in Qingzhou?Is it just a branch?

"Master?" Aojia Fu Dun called out seeing her in a daze.

"Amitabha," Master Wuxin proclaimed the Buddha's name lightly, "this is the fate of the donor himself, and the poor nun is nothing more than a simple effort."

Ao Jia Fu Dun didn't say any more, just smiled: "Master, did you go to Qingzhou when you were young?"

"No." Master Wuxin lowered his head too.

"Oh," Aojia Fu Dun was not disappointed, "I have a heartfelt request."

"Please say.

"This is the first time Fu Dun left home, and he doesn't have any relatives here. With..." Aojia Fu Dun shook his head, "Now, I'm at the end of my rope, can I borrow your temple to stay temporarily?"

"Don't move around at will." Master Wuxin said.

She got up, saluted, and left.

Aojia Fu Dun looked at her receding back, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she seemed in a very good mood...

----

Ao Jia Fu Dun is thirty-two this year.He took his adoptive father's surname.

His adoptive father was a down-and-out offshoot of the Aojia family. He lost his wife in his early years and never married, so he raised him.

Ao Jia Fu Dun was smart since he was a child, but when he was 15 years old, a woman called herself Jia Nai. When she arrived in Qingzhou, she told him about his life experience in detail, and then he gave up writing.He secretly fiddled with Shang.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered the Beijing University Examination at this age.

Therefore, he was attacked in a dark alley, and what happened there was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Tongjiao Temple is the largest nunnery in the capital, and it is also a place favored by the royal family and nobles.It would be great to stay here.

What's more, there is a teacher here who interests him very much...

Ao Jia Fu Dun tidied up a bit, then left Tongjiao Temple, looked east to find a busy market, and went in.After a while, I found a small shop with a small swastika carved on the door.When he went in, he asked the guy to call the shopkeeper, and showed the jade pendant on his body.

"The head of the house," the shopkeeper looked at the jade pendant, and as soon as his face changed, he immediately asked everyone to go out, and then knelt down, "The little one received a legend about the flying pigeons, saying that the head of the house will arrive in Beijing soon, but he didn't expect to meet here." Here you go."

"Have someone investigate immediately," said Aojia Fu Dun with a murderous look on his face, "Half a month ago, I was attacked in an alley near Dongzhimen, and everyone I brought here died this time."

The shopkeeper was trembling with fright: "Little one, go check it out immediately."

It was inconvenient for Aojia Fu Dun to wait for a long time. After explaining a few words, he used the carrier pigeon here to send out the secret letter that had already been written.He took some banknotes and left in a hurry.

----

Shanbao had just left the palace when he was stopped by a boy.

The young man called Fu Kang'an, three years older than him, was the third son of Fu Heng, a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony.He is very special, he is not the companion of any prince, but because of Qianlong's eye, he unexpectedly entered the palace school.

A while ago, his eldest brother Fu Ling'an was married to He Wangege by Qianlong, and he was also made the deputy governor of Zhengbaiqi.However, Fukang'an did not feel arrogant because of this. He is also a good friend with Shanbao.

Seeing that it was still early today, Fukang'an asked Shanbao to watch the excitement with him.

Now Shanbao is no longer worried about Fubao all the time as before, and there are servants at home, so he didn't refuse, so he got into Fukan'an's carriage and followed him.

The excitement Fukang'an was talking about was the opening of a restaurant.

Shanbao rolled his eyes, he really couldn't figure out whose restaurant it was that made Fukang'an so interested, just look at the bustling opening, dragon and lion dances, firecrackers, and so on.

He watched it for a long time and found it lively. When he couldn't help but ask, he saw that the dragon and lion dancers had all taken off their hoods.This time, he almost popped his eyeballs out.

"Five... Fifth elder brother!" He looked at Fukang'an in disbelief, and Fukang'an in the carriage almost scared his eyes out.

"Oh my god! How could Brother Wu be dressed like this!" Fu Kang'an was obviously terrified.

"You don't know?" Shanbao was puzzled.

"I only know that this restaurant is funded by the fifth elder brother. On the day the empress dowager returned to the palace, the paint on the fifth elder brother's body can be remembered deeply by many people. After making inquiries, almost everyone knows the reason. I am The Fifth Elder Brother might come today, after all, because of that incident, Wu Fujin turned into a side Fujin. Unexpectedly, he actually came!" Fu Kang'an sighed.

"Not only came, but also dressed like this." Shanbao laughed.

"I don't know if the Queen Mother sees all of this, how will the fifth elder brother shirk it to Wu Fujin?" Fu Kang'an sneered, "I look down on such a man the most in my life!"

"Shut up!" Although Fukang'an expressed Shanbao's heartfelt wishes, he was always cautious and immediately stopped Fukang'an from continuing, "Royal affairs are not something we can discuss."

Fukangan glanced at him: "You are always so careful."

Shanbao did not speak.

The owner of the restaurant cupped his hands and said impassionedly about the opening discount.

Fukang'an lifted the curtain of the car: "Go, go down and have a taste."

Shanbao had no choice but to follow.

----

Yongqi's brain has a different structure from normal people, and the things it contains seem to be different.

He even cameo as a waiter.

When he came over with a plate of dishes and put them on the table, Shanbao felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to salute, but was pinched by Fu Kangan.So, Shanbao froze and watched the fifth elder brother humbly put the dishes on the table, and even smiled: "Use it slowly!"

"In my life, I actually ate dishes served by Brother Huang himself..." He was in a daze.

The shock on Fukang'an's face was not less than his, but Fukang'an guessed that the fifth elder brother definitely didn't know them, so he didn't get up.

In the words of Fu Heng, fifth brother, that is, "I really don't know where he has gone in life, he only likes to pay attention to those useless things, and he ignores everything that can help him."What's worse is that he is still unwilling to be ordinary. '

Rengui has self-knowledge, but in the fifth elder brother, it seems that he can only see a contradictory person who despises the nobles and imagines that all the nobles are willing to surrender.

Just like the little swallow he likes.Obviously, a woman like Little Yanzi is the most low-class gangster in the eyes of the people, but he just thinks that it is wanton, it is the truth, the goodness and the beauty. to hurt the most innocent.

The funniest thing is that he just found enough excuses and reasons for himself to prove his "love as a last resort".

This dish was difficult for both teenagers to swallow.

Seeing the busy figure of fifth elder brother, the two suddenly lost their appetite, paid the money hastily, and left here.

"Go to Dongshi?" Seeing that Fukang'an was downcast, Shanbao proposed.

"Dongshi?" Fukang'an was a little puzzled.

Shanbao smiled: "You must have never been there, it is a place where common people gather, but there are many food stalls, the taste is good. I treat you!"

"it is good!"

----

Fukangan scooped up a spoonful of haggis soup with some hesitation, looked at it for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth as if death was at home.

"Oh!" He was a little surprised.

After chewing it carefully, Fang Fang looked at Shanbao: "I didn't expect this thing to look good, but it tastes very good!"

This soup is full of sheep offal, which one eats that during the day?In their house, even dogs don't eat that stuff.I didn't expect this thing to taste delicious!

Shanbao smiled: "There are many unbelievable foods among the people. After being skillfully cooked, they taste really good. You have a good taste today."

Fukang'an also smiled.

While the two were talking and laughing, they saw a man in a green shirt approaching: "Boss, a bowl of haggis soup."

The boss quickly filled the soup and handed it to the man. The man glanced at the place and saw that there was only one table left, so he walked over: "Brother, can I borrow a seat?"

It was the first time in Fukang'an's life that someone asked to share a table, so he couldn't help being a little curious. He looked up at the man, and saw that he was about 20 years old, dressed like a scholar: "Sit down."

The man sat down politely.

Shanbao used his words: "Look at the gentleman's appearance, he seems to be a scholar?"

The man glanced at him, and didn't try to perfunctory him because of his young age, but cupped his hands like he would treat a person of the same generation: "My next Aojia Fu Dun, from Qingzhou, came to Beijing for the big exam next year."

"Ao Jia's family?" Fukang'an became excited all of a sudden, "Zhengbaiqi!"

What kind of fate is this!His eldest brother has just become the deputy governor of Zhengbaiqi.Fukangan looked at him eagerly: "Are you a scholar?"

The man smiled: "I'm not talented, but I was lucky enough to win a Juren. My brother is also a bannerman? I don't know which banner it is?"

This time, even Shanbao's eyes lit up.Banner people have always been inferior to the Han people in the imperial examination. Most of the banner people entered the official position as military officers, and some of them took the exam.But compared with the imperial examination, that post style is simply too easy.

The person in front of him was born in a serious imperial examination, and he is also a Juren!

"I'm lowering the red flag, Niu Gulu Shanbao!" He cupped his hands.

'New cobalt? Ao Jia Fu Dun changed his mind.It doesn't show on the face.

Fu Kang'an is not easy to say his first and last name, after all, Fu Heng's reputation is quite loud.So he said vaguely: "But I have a close relationship with Zhengbai Qi."

When Aojia Fu Dun saw the texture of his clothes, he had a clue in his mind.

"It's also fate to meet today!" He smiled very openly, "I can't compare to you two, I'm living in Tongjiao Temple now, haha. Eating this is a luxury for me!"

"Tongjiao Temple?" Fukang'an was stunned.

"Yeah, I don't have much money," Aojia Fu Dun said with a smile, "the bhikkhunis there are good. I'll stay there at night and find a rough job to do during the day. Save some money and buy more books to read." , and strive to be known as Luosun Shan next year."

His words were plain and honest, and he didn't feel humbled at all.This behavior immediately made the two people feel good about him.

Fukang'an and Shanbao looked at each other: "What are you doing now, sir?"

"Oh," Aojia Fu Dun said with a smile, "I haven't found it yet. There are quite a lot of people in the capital who can read and write. It must be impossible to write family letters for others. I heard that there is a big restaurant. I don't know if there is still a shortage. There is no shortage of buddies. When I’m full, I’ll go ask, money doesn’t matter, just take care of the food.”

Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Ling looked at the magpie at a loss: "Tell me, what is the emperor's intention?"

Magpie sneered inwardly, but his face was still full of smiles: "Your Majesty, no matter what, it's a good thing! In the palace, having a daughter is better than nothing at all."

Concubine Ling calmed down a bit, and said again: "No way! I am very uneasy. The last daughter has already killed me... Magpie, tell me, are these two disasters again?"

Now she was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

The magpie gradually lost patience with her, and now it is just coping: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you must be very, very happy to recognize these two daughters. Not only must you be happy, but you must also be very grateful to the emperor and the queen mother. Madam, don't let the two daughters I've been waiting for a long time, let's go."

Concubine Ling nodded: "Yes, yes, you are right, I should be happy and excited."

She put her thin, scary hand on the magpie's arm, and walked out slowly.

In the main hall, there are two girls kneeling.

Ling Fei knew that these were her two 'daughters'.

Two, obviously older than Wu Gege, but still have to be called Liu Gege, the daughter of Qi Gege.

With the support of the magpie, she slowly walked over and sat on the main seat.

The two princesses kowtowed in a hurry.Concubine Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing their well-behaved appearance.

"How old are you this year? What's your name?" She calmed herself down and asked.

The older one said, "Concubine Mother, my daughter is 15 years old, and her name is Buyecchuk."

Magpie took the tray from the maid at the side, holding the tea, and slowly walked towards Concubine Ling.

"Mother, my daughter is 11 years old, her name is Bojili Yierha..."

'banging'

The magpie slipped, and the tray flew out, and the teacup fell to the ground, and the ground was covered with tea.But she seemed to have forgotten everything, and only looked at the girl below: "Bojili...Ilha..."
