Mrs. Rebirth

Zuo Shuhui wrote a poem on the spot, the handwriting is beautiful, it is the most correct plum blossom lowercase, and she did not write it on paper, but on a handkerchief embroidered with delicate plum blossoms.

Putting down the pen, Zuo Shuhui blew on the ink lightly, then walked up to the old lady holding the square handkerchief, bowed her knees and saluted, "If the old lady doesn't dislike it, can you show me the kindness of the women?"

"Oh?" The old lady took the square handkerchief casually, and saw that a poem was neatly written on it. The handwriting was unmistakable, but it was not very good, and what surprised her was the poem. , it turned out to be a casual work of her early years.

"Haha...I didn't expect Miss Zuo to have learned so much that she even memorized whatever the old lady wrote casually."

Zuo Shuhui saluted again, smiling sweetly, "Old lady, you are humble. Every poem of yours is bold, just like your heart. It is a blessing for women to learn from it."

The old lady looked at her a few more times, and had to admit that the Zuo family really deserved to be from a literati background, and they praised people so nicely, not to mention other things, it was quite rare just because of their intentions.

"The old lady will accept it bluntly." The old lady handed the handkerchief to Nanny Zhong, and then took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on Zuo Shuhui's hand. This action almost stunned everyone. Shuhui was stunned for a while before thanking generously: "Thank you, Madam, for the reward!"

The noble ladies all gritted their silver teeth, and couldn't believe that their limelight was taken away by a country girl, wasn't it just a chance to flatter the old lady?Extremely hypocritical!

Just when everyone was praising on the surface and feeling angry secretly, the housekeeper hurried over, "Lady, the fifth princess is here!"

The old lady raised her eyebrows, and said with a faint smile on her face: "Since you are here, let's bring people in." As the wife of the Duke of Zhen, she doesn't need to salute even if she sees the princess, let alone the princess. Went out and greeted.

As soon as the words fell, a female voice as crisp as a silver bell rang into everyone's ears, "Auntie's place is so lively, why don't you invite Xiang'er?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a female character walking in lightly, in a pale pink palace dress, with a light blue butterfly embroidered on the corner of the skirt that was about to fly. And flamboyant.

It was the first time for many wives and ladies to see the fifth princess who was raised in the palm of the late emperor. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still surprised by her beautiful appearance.

The fifth princess's biological mother was the late emperor's most favored concubine Yue, who was famous all over the world for her beauty back then, but unfortunately, concubine Yue passed away within two years after giving birth to the fifth princess.

I heard that the older the fifth princess was, the more she looked like the concubine Yue back then, so the late emperor loved her so much that even the princes couldn't surpass her.

As soon as the five princesses appeared on the stage, the beautiful ladies around them suddenly paled.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone still saluted according to their ranks. As soon as the fifth princess came, she threw herself into the old lady's arms and acted like a baby, turning a blind eye to everyone's salute.

"You girl, why don't you just stay in the palace and come to the old woman's place?" The old lady pointed her forehead lovingly and instructed.

The fifth princess said coquettishly, "Of course I came here because I heard the excitement here. Being detained in the palace all day, I'm so bored to death."

As she spoke, she glanced around for a week, frowned indiscernibly, and curled her lips, "Auntie is biased, and I don't take Xiang'er with me if I have fun."

"What's the fun in it? It's just a casual dinner with some people."

The fifth princess's phoenix eyes turned slightly, "I heard that today is to clean up my cousin. How could Xiang'er be missing from such a big event? Where is cousin? Xianger specially prepared a gift and gave it to him in person."

How could the old lady not know her intentions, she waved her hand indifferently, "He, he went to the barracks as soon as he finished eating, and he doesn't stay home all day, even my mother sometimes doesn't see him for a few days noodle."

The fifth princess giggled and defended Lu Zheng: "Cousin is an important minister of the country, so it's normal to be busy with official duties."

She flirted with the old lady for a while, and then said casually: "I heard that the descendants of Grand Master Zuo have also come to Beijing, and they have received the favor of my cousin. My aunt will recommend Xiang'er."

The people don't understand why even the fifth princess treats the Zuo family differently?Is Master Zuo's reputation really so useful?

Xue's mother and daughter didn't know that His Majesty intended to marry the Fifth Princess and Grandpa Lu, they just assumed that the Zuo family was well-known, and their faces unconsciously showed some glory.

The old lady turned around, pointed at the Xue mother and daughter behind her and said, "That's not it, you should definitely meet, and learn from Miss Zuo's calmness and virtuousness."

Zuo Shuhui blushed and hurriedly said: "Don't dare! The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can a commoner woman compare to it?"

The fifth princess's innocent and lovely face just now changed instantly, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a disdainful arc, "So you are the eldest lady of the Zuo family?"

She stretched out her hand to lift Zuo Shuhui's chin, and looked left and right as if inspecting the goods, "That's all! I really don't know why my cousin is interested in you?"

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, Qiqi was shocked by the news revealed by the fifth princess.

It turned out that Lord Lu actually fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Zuo family?No wonder, they said how a down-and-out Hu could even enter the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion.

For a while, everyone looked at Xue's mother and daughter differently.

Surprise flashed across Zuo Shuhui's eyes, and her cheeks, which were originally pale due to humiliation, quickly turned pink. She faltered and said: "The fifth princess misunderstood, how could Lord Lu like Minnv?" Such an identity?"

The fifth princess threw away her hand, took the handkerchief from the hand of the palace maid, wiped it carefully, and snorted coldly: "So you also know that your status is low, I don't care what tricks you use, I will kill you as soon as possible." Heart, otherwise... hum!"

Zuo Shuhui blinked, tears flashed in her eyes, she looked pitiful of being bullied, "Princess is serious, folk girl... How dare a folk girl have such unreasonable thoughts?" But if Mr. Lu really likes How could she be stopped by the fifth princess?

Complacent in her heart, Zuo Shuhui's complexion was extremely innocent. Against the backdrop of the domineering fifth princess, she looked a little fragile.

"You..." The fifth princess couldn't do it in front of everyone, she gritted her teeth and turned around and threw herself into the old lady's embrace, with a long tail, "Aunt..."

The old lady patted her on the back, and comforted her without sincerity: "Xiang'er, who are you listening to nonsense? Don't say such nonsense, it will damage Miss Zuo's reputation."

The old lady didn't even need to think about it, she knew that the person above had misunderstood, but she obviously didn't need to correct such a misunderstanding.

Zuo Yunwen, who had already arrived home, didn't know that there was a surprise waiting for him. When he got home, he changed his clothes and took Zuo Shaoyan out. Zuo Shaoqing knew without thinking that he must be looking for an old friend from the past. .

With this invitation from the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the Zuo family can really gain a foothold in the capital.

The decent master was not there, and the servants also took the opportunity to be lazy, Zuo Shaoqing walked all the way back to her room, just as she sat down and picked up a book, Luo Xiaoliu ran in angrily.

"Third Master, they bully people too much!"

"Huh? Make it clear!"

"It's the people in the kitchen, they actually asked Mama Liu to pour out the bad water!" Luo Xiaoliu has been with Mama Liu for many years, and he has long regarded her as his elder. The work broke out immediately.

Zuo Shaoqing shattered the teapot on the table with one palm, his face was ashen, "Go, get the steward of the kitchen, and call Liu Ma back by the way!"

Luo Xiaoliu saw his master's eyes gathering dark clouds, he took a breath in fright, turned around and ran out.

Zuo Shaoqing found out Liu Ma's deed of selling herself, and after waiting for a while, she saw Liu Ma walking in wearing a shabby cotton padded coat, her hands were flushed from the cold, and her complexion was not as good as before.

Zuo Shaoqing felt her nose sore, turned her eyes away and said, "Mother Liu, you have worked hard all these years!"

Liu Ma wiped her hands on the apron, and asked with a kind smile, "Third Master, how do you say that?"

Zuo Shaoqing handed the contract of sale to her, calmed down and ordered: "You should burn this contract of sale, go back and pack your things, and send you out of the house tomorrow."

Mother Liu was taken aback by this sudden change, she quickly knelt down on the ground, and asked with red eyes: "Third Master, you... are you going to drive this old slave away?"

Zuo Shaoqing hurriedly helped her up, pressed her on the chair, squatted down and said, "Listen to what I have to say, I plan to build a village in the suburbs, and I am worried that there is no one available. Will Liu Ma be willing to help me first?" keep it?"

Liu Ma was taken aback again, "You want to buy Zhuangzi? This...does the Master and Madam know about this?"

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth twitched, "Of course I don't know."

"Where do you get the money?" Liu Ma didn't know much about it, and she knew that the land price in this capital was far from comparable to her hometown, and a Zhuangzi would definitely not be able to buy it without a few hundred taels.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled, and briefly talked about his business partnership with his second uncle. In fact, he not only wanted to buy Zhuangzi, but also wanted to buy some land.

Liu Ma was both surprised and happy, she shed tears, and praised over and over again: Third Master has grown up.

If Mama Liu knew that Zuo Shaoqing bought these fields and real estate to buy herself a dowry, she probably wouldn't be able to boast.

The matter was quickly settled, Zuo Shaoqing asked her to go back to pack her things, then suppressed her smile, and waited for another person to arrive.
