Yipin Tianxia

Pingguo government office.

Listening to the faint sound of singing and gongs coming from the small garden in the northeast corner, the gorgeously dressed girl in front of the mirror asked, "Who is treating guests over there?"

The maid who combed her hair paused her hands, and replied timidly, not daring to raise her head, "It's the younger sister of my wife's natal family who borrowed the garden and invited a few guests, it's nothing serious."

The girl turned her head and grinned, her well-maintained snow-white teeth reflected a bit of coldness under the reflection of the light, the servant girl was startled when she saw it, the comb in her hand became heavier when she didn't pay attention, from the dark cloud-like A few black strands were torn from the hair.

Seeing the painful expression on the girl's frowning face, the servant girl was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, "Damn this servant girl, I beg the magistrate to spare me!"

Lord Ruian touched his hair, evoked a mocking smile of unknown meaning, and said in a low voice, "Get up, I won't punish you. But if I ask you to do something to make up for it, okay? "

The servant girl became even more frightened, and stammered, "What... the matter? Please order from the county magistrate."

Ryan turned silently to the left and right, and the maids who looked like wooden sculptures and clay sculptures took a look and asked, "I want you to take me to see my father, is that okay?"

When the servant girl heard this, her guilty eyes flicked around, and she said bravely, "The Duke... is recovering from illness. Madam said that there is no need to go to the county to say hello on Sundays. You...you are well, the Duke knows Well... well, it will be fine."

Ryan pulled out that ambiguous smile again, stopped talking, just stood up, walked to the window, and remained silent.

She lived in a small three-story building, and she used to think that the scenery here was unique.Climbing high and looking far away, it is extremely open.But now, what's so good about it?A small building alone, not leaning back and forth, just like her current situation.Kong has the title of county lord, but what about reality?

There are some things she didn't understand before, but she seems to have gradually understood some things recently.Some people treat you well, but they may not be really good.Some bad guys don't draw a big white face representing treachery like actors on the stage for you to distinguish.

But what does it matter?As long as you haven't reached the last step.She will always find a way.

Secretly clenched the palms of his hands, let the long well-maintained nails pinch the palms, and Ryan's beautiful eyes looking out of the window showed unprecedented cruelty.

It was with great difficulty that she crawled out of such a dirty place, and stood at such a high place, so she didn't want to be thrown down.Isn't her father still there?Then she also has the biggest amulet.

But that father's body is really bad, in case something happens to him.What can I do?A talisman is still too little, is there any other way for her to stand on such a high place?

Seeing the girl with her head tilted, showing her eyes in deep thought, the maids in the room exchanged glances with each other, and an older one stepped forward and said cautiously. "The county chief, don't you want to come over to see the material? Madam has sent you several horses."

Ryan didn't have the same love for these things as he used to.But he didn't refuse, "Let's put it there first, I'll take a look at it later."

Her eyes were still staring out of the window, flickering constantly.

Suddenly, beside the sweet-scented osmanthus forest in the distance, a handsome man dressed in ivory white and dark blue scholar's clothes broke into her sight. Who is that?How could a man in this world be so stunning?

He squinted for a while.Ryan pointed at the man and asked, "Whose son is that?"

The maids don't know either.But I have already heard, "The eldest son of Mr. Ouyang's family is very handsome, so he must be the one."

"Lord Ouyang? What kind of official position is it?"

"Lord Ouyang is Wailang, a member of the food department from the sixth rank of the Ministry of Rites, and his wife is our wife's sister."

oh.Ryan responded, sat down and said nothing.

The maid who couldn't guess what she was thinking had no choice but to report her every word and deed to the lady of the Duke's Mansion. The ladies were teasing a little pug with each other, and they didn't care too much when they heard it, and just said , "Serve me well, don't neglect me."

When the man went out, she showed a slight sarcasm in front of her confidant, "I know it's too late to repent now, don't you think it's too late? Take good care of her. Before she gets married, she must live in peace. By the way, again Go to the Imperial Dining Room and reply with a word..."

And Ryan, who was grounded in the small building, while thinking hard, thought of the handsome man who had glimpsed in the daytime, and suddenly came up with a very bold idea.

It's just that how to implement this idea will take a lot of trouble.Looking around at these people, Ryan closed his eyes, hid his thoughts, and began to think carefully.

Lu House.

As soon as Lu Wenshi came home, he chased his daughter into the room, dismissed all the servants, and asked anxiously with a happy face, "If you think the eldest son of the Ouyang family is good, my mother has no objection."

Lu Ying turned her head in astonishment, "Mother, what do you mean?"

Lu Wenshi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Aren't you willing to admit it? Even your second aunt can tell. Mother has already inquired. Although this eldest son of the Ouyang family came from the countryside, he was born in a serious manner. In terms of status, she is even more honorable than that serious child of the Tan family. His mother was originally from a wealthy family, but it was a pity that she withered in the troubled times. But I think everyone looks good, and it is reasonable to barely match you. Even if the family is poor It’s okay if you don’t have anyone to help you, just less trouble. Anyway, our family doesn’t rely on him to get ahead, as long as you like it.”

When Lu Ying understood, she couldn't help laughing, "Mother, I just said a few more words to him, why did you come up with so many ideas? I said earlier, I don't want to marry."

"Confused!" Lu Wenshi was really anxious, and even stomped his feet heavily, "It's beautiful to serve in the palace, but look at your aunts, what will happen to them when they are old?"

Lu Ying's face darkened, and she stopped talking.Lu Fangshi pointed and counted to her, "One fell in love with an eunuch in the palace to save his life. The other lost his life because of a fight between master and son. And..."

Lu Ying couldn't help but asked, "Isn't my aunt dying?"

Lu Wenshi sneered, "Yes, she is dying. But do you know how much your great-aunt wanted to have a child of her own? But your great-grandfather and great-grandmother were afraid that she would have a child of their own, so they would not do their best for the family. You firmly refused to allow it. Your aunt said that she would not be adopted from outside, and that she could adopt one of them, but your grandfather and his brothers were afraid that there would be a scene of discrimination in the future, so they still refused. You don’t even know. When your elder brother was born, your aunt was still there, looking at him like that is really pitiful to the extreme. Which woman in the world does not look forward to being a mother and having her own children? She did it for this At home, entering the palace to become a royal concubine, trading a lifetime of happiness for the family's glory and wealth, but even this small request is not allowed at home, do you think this is interesting?"

Shedding tears of sympathy, Lu Wenshi told her daughter sadly, "Aying, listen to mother. At this age, mother has seen through everything and figured it out. Mother knows that you are a filial child and you want to enter the palace. I want to get ahead by myself so that I can protect your mother, your brother and your nephew for the rest of my life, so that no one will bully you. You love mother, but mother loves you too. There are only us mother and mother here, mother is not afraid to say something Heartfelt words. No matter how close your brother is, it is only your brother after all. He has his wife, his children, and his closest relatives will always be them. You, as a younger sister, have to be separated by a layer. Mother can live For the time being, that's enough. As for your brother, he can eat as much as he can, and more, it's not something you, a younger sister, should worry about."

Holding her daughter's hand, Lu Wenshi felt the thin callus that had been honed out from practicing knife skills for many years, and said distressedly, "Mother, I don't want you to continue to be beautiful. I just want you to be safe, marry someone well, and have a few children." Child, don't wait until you are old, like your aunt, who seems to be surrounded by a room full of people, but almost all of them are thinking about her recipes and things, and no one really loves her and is filial to her. The youth of a girl It’s limited, if you really have to wait until then, it’s too late for you to regret it!”

"Mother, don't talk about it!" Lu Ying felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard that, why didn't she know that what mother said was all for her own good?But do you really want to get married?She still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

There are countless men in this world who are heartless and heartless, rich men are like this, and so are poor men!Just like her father, who has no skills but knows how to play tricks.Ever since she was born until her father closed his eyes, they have never let their mother and daughter calm down. Every day they don't make noises and make people cry. What's the point?But if you want to find someone who is sympathetic and single-minded, how can it be so easy?

After finally sending his mother away, he wanted to be alone for a while, but unexpectedly, his master waited for him.

Seeing that Yu Sansheng seemed to be in a bad mood, Lu Ying cheered up and invited him into the room to pour tea, "Look at your complexion, but what happened?"

Yu Sansheng's face was full of sorrow, and his brows were deeply locked. "Mr. Pingguo is sick and lazy to eat. The empress dowager personally sent someone to ask, and she only said that she wanted to eat a bowl of tofu flower. But the imperial dining room made several dishes and sent them to him, but they were not very happy." The empress dowager was in a hurry and lost her temper in the palace. If it goes on like this, even the master will be overwhelmed. I came here to see the recipes left by your aunts and see if you have made tofu flowers."

No one is more familiar with all the books and prescriptions in the family than Lu Ying.This is all-encompassing, but there is no such ordinary to extreme thing as tofu flower.

"Tu'er feels that with the level of the master chefs in the imperial dining room, the tofu flower they make is absolutely unmistakable. Duke Ping doesn't like it, do you have any special preferences?"

This made sense, but Yu Sansheng sighed even more when he heard it, "I heard that the birth mother of County Lord Ruian used to sell tofu. I guess Mr. Pingguo was thinking about that. But although there are many cooks in this world, But each person has a taste, how can we make the flavor he wants?"
