Chapter 236

"I want the big hall brother to introduce him for me. Of course, what I mean is that when Lord Hou is here, can you ask the big hall brother to bring him over?"

Zhou Lu was suspicious, "It stands to reason that when that incident happened, you were still learning needlework in Boudoir Middle School. How could you know so clearly?"

Li Wan choked, and said with a smile, "How could you exaggerate, I heard this from the old lady, the scholar was on duty at Yushitai, the old lady felt sorry for him, and thought he was honest and sincere. Be down-to-earth, I shouldn't be unable to get promoted, I met him not long ago and helped me, I want Lord Hou to take a look at him and promote him by the way."

Her nonsense is equivalent to asking Qin Muyin to open the back door for Mu Ziyan.

Zhou Lu was funny, "We have the final say on what is right and wrong in the officialdom, but the old lady is right, Mu Ziyan and your hall brother had a good relationship when they were classmates. There are letters between the two in Huai'an, and last year your elder brother visited him when he returned to Beijing, but he is almost 26, so it seems that he hasn't said anything about kissing yet!"

Li Wan thought, it was him.The emperor fainted, she thought of the orthodox leader, and carefully recalled anything related to Qin Muyin in her previous life, she couldn't think of anything else, she remembered that after the old lady passed away, Qin Muyin was still imprisoned, she ordered someone to support the old lady On the way back to the mansion, someone followed her all the way, and he came up to meet her when she entered the Hou's mansion, and reported himself, Mu Ziyan, a sixth-rank official from Yushitai, kowtowed three times to the old lady She just left, and after that, Qin Muyin was released from prison, and a little more people came to worship, and she forgot about Mu Ziyan.

"Okay, let me tell your hall brother that he went out with Mu Ziyan a few days ago, and when he came back, he was feeling lucky. He didn't pass the exam and is now working in the Imperial Academy. Mu Ziyan was the hardest working and most talented of them back then. Yes, I'm just a low-rank official now." Zhou Lu had never met Mu Ziyan, but his mother-in-law and husband-in-law praised him many times, so he seemed to be very popular.

Li Wan thought for a while, Mu Ziyan had been in the bureaucracy for many years, and he could not be promoted, probably because someone deliberately suppressed him. However, she still wanted to see his character again. The two chatted until evening, Zhou Lu thought of Li Fangzhi, and shook his head Sighing, "The old steward of Qin's mansion sent a letter, saying that the second brother and sister have entered Beijing and are already on their way. The mother-in-law wanted to send someone to guard the city gate, and send them away as soon as they enter the capital... "

Li Wan raised her eyebrows. I'm afraid that Lian's sending her away is a reconciliation. Zhou Lu nodded slowly, "Second Uncle and the others must have no good intentions in letting their second siblings come to Beijing. The father-in-law is not easy to do official duties in the official department. The second uncle and the second younger siblings colluded to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and it is even more difficult for the father-in-law to be in the official department."

"It's probably not that simple. Second uncle and second aunt are determined to retaliate now. Third aunt has sent someone to guard Second uncle and she knows to send someone to guard. You told third aunt to be careful." Qin Huai and Yuan Shi It is estimated that there is nothing to be afraid of, so she will do her best to ruin Sanfang's reputation. She suddenly thought that the reason why Qin Huai and Yuanshi are not afraid is because Qin Mufei's Princess Cheng is taking care of her. Yes, if you think so, then It makes sense, "You and your third aunt go to Prince Cheng's mansion and talk to Princess Cheng about the plans of your second uncle and second aunt. Princess Cheng has a clear mind and knows what to do. Don’t dare to make trouble.”

Zhou Lu saw what she was trying to figure out, and when she learned that her second sibling was going to Beijing, her mother-in-law's expression became more and more serious day by day. The siblings thought they were going back to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, but it was not.

When Zhou Lu left, Li Wan packed several packs of tea leaves for her, Zhou Lu smiled and said, "When people saw it, they thought I was coming to blow the autumn wind..."

"Master Hou doesn't usually drink these teas. It's rare that you like them. Besides, new teas will be delivered in half a year. It's nothing. You can take them."

After sending Zhou Lu away, Li Wan ordered the kitchen to cook two strong dishes. She felt that her mouth was bland and wanted something spicy.

The result of eating so well was that when she woke up the next day, a pimple appeared on her chin, right in the middle, and the color was bright red, which could be seen at a glance. Li Wan felt very regretful, and ordered Zilan to cover it with makeup powder Hold on, after applying a thick layer, the result was still obvious. In the afternoon, another small one appeared next to it. When Li Wan touched it with her hand, it hurt badly. She still wanted to eat chili, but she didn't dare.

When Zilan entered the room, Li Wan was sitting on a chair, and there was a small mirror on the table. The mirror had no frame, and it was leaning against the teacup. Yes, his face contorted in pain.

"Ma'am, you can't squeeze your pimples. If you squeeze them, they will easily fester. You got angry after eating chili, or I will ask Dr. Zhang to prescribe some medicine to dispel the fire?" Zilan held Li Wan's clothes in her hand, and she went to ask It's been two maids, and the maid said that the pilling has nothing to do with them, and they washed their clothes as usual.

Zilan paid close attention to Li Wan's clothes, she would point out some that could only be rubbed by hand, and those that were clean and couldn't be wrung.

Li Wan put down her hands and squeezed out the blood, now the pimples were more prominent, "The clothes are dry?" She thought Zilan was going to collect her clothes.

Putting the clothes into the closet, she said what the maid said, and after she finished, she felt a little tangled in her heart, Li Wan looked at her, "What's the matter, but is there anything I can't say?"

Zilan shook her head and walked up to her, hesitated for a moment, and told her about her question to the embroiderer, "The thread on Ma'am's clothes is pilling, the slave girl went to ask the embroiderer, and the embroiderer and the slave girl said that there are only two cases of thread pilling." , one is often rubbing the thread, it becomes frizzy and prone to pilling after a long time, and the other is that the thread is not good, I use a general thread, and it will pill after a little rubbing..."

She didn't go on with what she said later, Madam Conghui must know what she meant.

Li Wan was stunned, she paid special attention to dressing, when she first entered the Marquis's mansion, she was reluctant to have few clothes made of cloth, but later the old lady gave them more, the cloth and thread were all excellent, how could there be such a situation as Zilan said, the nanny followed She has been in the house for more than ten years, and she is not good at words, and she has not seen her face for several days, but she has been making clothes and shoes for her in the house, and rarely goes out.

"You go down first, don't say anything about this matter, you secretly look at the nanny to see what she did?" If the nanny used the second-hand thread as a good one, then what did the real nanny use it for? clearly.

Zilan knew that Li Wan had made up her mind, so she withdrew.
