Chapter 123 Going on the Right Path

"Back to Madam, my daughter had already received the news last night, because the emperor was here so I didn't dare to come in and disturb Madam, but I have already asked Bixi to prepare everything." Jin Liu hurriedly replied.

Hearing this, Murong Shengxue raised his eyes to look at Jin Liu, saw her looking at him calmly, squeezed the hands hidden in her sleeves tightly, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are really worried about the old lady of your mansion. , well, this palace will order someone to send you out of the palace."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Jin Liu hurriedly thanked her, got up and saluted, then turned around and walked out with the tourmaline.

"Niang Niang..." Seeing Jin Liu and Bixi walk out of the door, Xiao Hong turned to look at Murong Shengxue.

"Seeing that Liu'er is in such a hurry, Bengong originally wanted someone to find out what's going on, but it seems that she doesn't want Bengong's help, so let's forget it since that's the case." Murong Shengxue smiled softly , looked up at Xiaohong and said: "The emperor won't come here today, and there is nothing wrong with the palace. Didn't you say that you are going to go shopping outside the palace? Let's go out of the palace with Liu'er!"

After hearing the words, Xiaohong understood Murong Shengxue's meaning after thinking for a while, she nodded in response, turned around and walked out.

After Xiaohong left, Murong Shengxue sent all the maids out of the room, and walked slowly to the window alone, watching the magnolia tree in the courtyard where the flowers withered and sprouted, his eyes turned cold, She thought about all the things that happened in the past few days, but she couldn't think of any reason why Jin Liu was rushed out of the palace. She tightly grasped the window frame with her slender hands. She was hurt suddenly, and she quickly lowered her head. Seeing that the wound on the index finger that had been closed was opened again, and a trace of blood was faintly oozing out, as if thinking of something, his face darkened, and his brows furrowed tightly.

At the corner gate next to the north gate of the palace, two guards inspected the badge, handed it back, and waved their hands to let the guard at the gate let the carriage go out.

"Sister Xiaohong is going out of the palace to help the empress?" Bixi waited for Xiaohong to sit down beside her, and asked with a smile.

"No, it's just that I've wanted to go out of the palace to buy something for a long time, and I haven't seized the opportunity. Today, the third lady is going to go out of the palace, so the slaves and servants will come out together." Xiao Hong looked at Jin Liu, and said: "But the third lady is also true. Not everyone can participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace. Only official family members of the third rank and above can participate. The empress has all spoken today. Why doesn't the third lady know that after attending the banquet, I will go to the banquet again." Going back, Miss San is almost 4, don't you understand the meaning of the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

In the previous life, there was a blind date meeting for rich and powerful people. In this life, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is a blind date meeting for two generations of court officials, and only the female family members of officials with a third-rank official residence can participate. The same thing as the rich and powerful blind date meeting is that there are no men in this blind date meeting. Women of marriageable age in the mansion, but the difference is that the mother-in-law chooses the daughter-in-law, instead of the organizer helping the rich to choose their wives.

Although Jin Liu has never participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she has heard a lot of rumors about the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so it seems that Concubine Ning's letting Jin Liu participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet is undoubtedly to promote her, so that she can marry into a third-rank or higher It's no wonder that even Xiaohong blames her for being a daughter-in-law of an official family.

Jin Liu was noncommittal, sighed softly and shook his head, "You said that I'm already fourteen, how could I not understand the meaning of the Hundred Flowers Banquet! It's just that my grandmother loved me since I was a child, so how can I ignore my grandmother? Only care about your own future?"

"That's true..." Seeing the regretful expression on Jin Liu's face, Xiao Hong finally nodded and comforted her, "But Miss San doesn't have to be too disappointed, anyway, Miss San won't be ready until next year, so it's a good time to participate next year." , next year the empress will definitely arrange for Miss San!"

Jin Liu didn't speak, but nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Jinliu didn't intend to speak any more, Xiao Hong lowered her head and closed her eyes, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was worried about the old lady in the house, she didn't speak any more, she turned her head to gossip with Tourmaline.

The carriage passed by the bustling street, Xiaohong didn't intend to get off the carriage, so she quickly turned into the alley where the Yuanshi Mansion is located, the speed of the carriage also slowed down slowly, Tourmaline lifted the curtain and took a look outside, and saw the door A carriage parked in the second master's mansion, hurriedly sat back and turned to Jin Liu.

"Second Uncle should still be working in the Imperial Hospital at this moment, so Second Aunt must be here!" Jin Liu said, when she raised her head, the carriage had already stopped, she took a quick look at Xiao Honghua, and walked out holding Tourmaline's hand The carriage, as expected, saw the second lady and Jin Xiyue standing in the carriage, and hurriedly got out of the carriage to meet the ceremony.

The second lady stepped forward to support Jin Liu, took another look at Xiao Hong who poked her head out, smiled reluctantly, pulled Jin Liu and took a step to the side, and then said with a serious face: "I just got off the carriage. Sometimes I was thinking about whether I should tell your mother to send a carriage to pick you up from the palace. I didn't think about the carriage and saw a palace carriage driving over. I thought it was you, why? Are you here? Has the palace heard the news?"

Jin Liu nodded noncommittally, turned to look at Jin Xiyue, saw that she was also looking at him, coughed lightly, said nothing, turned around and said goodbye to Xiaohong, and said goodbye to Second Lady, Jin Xiyue Walk towards the mansion together.

"How can this be good? How could such a thing happen? When Xiyue told me before, I just thought she was talking nonsense as a child, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Walking all the way to the main courtyard, the two The madam said while she was worried about being reprimanded by the old madam, she turned her head and glared at Jin Xiyue bitterly, and said: "You too, why don't you remind me a few times, let me be more careful, and then I will It won't let things turn out like this, just look at it, your third uncle has always lived in our house, if something like this happens this time, your grandmother will definitely blame us."

"Mother, you say that I'm a child and don't allow me to talk nonsense, and then you want me to remind you a few more times, what do you want from me? Hey! It's really hard to be a child!" Jin Xiyue looked innocent. Looking at the second lady, he sighed and said.

"you……"

The second lady was speechless by Jin Xiyue's anger, but Jin Liu couldn't help laughing. Seeing the second lady staring at him, she hurriedly held back her smile and said, "Second aunt, don't worry, this kind of thing is not a problem. You can prevent it, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, I am afraid that even the grandmother herself did not think that the old man would not necessarily take his anger on the second aunt, let's go in and have a look before we talk! "

"That's what you said!" The second lady nodded, looked up at Jin Liu, took her hand and said, "But if your grandmother is really angry at the second aunt, you have to help the second aunt to say a few words." talk!"

"That's natural, Second Aunt, don't worry!" Jin Liu hurriedly said, feeling Jin Xiyue's gaze, she didn't look at her, seeing the hanging flower gate of the main courtyard was close in front of her eyes, she took Second Madam's hand and left past.

In the courtyard outside the main courtyard, there were quite a few maidservants, whispering something to each other, as if they knew that the second lady would come, they didn't show any surprise when they saw her, but it was Jin Liu's appearance that made them eat Surprised, the clever little maid quickly ran up the steps, lifted the curtain and walked in.

Mrs. Ru just happened to come over from the hall next to them. Seeing them stunned for a moment, she hurried over and asked, "Liu'er, aren't you in the palace? When did you come back?"

"I just got off the carriage and met my second aunt at the door, so I came in with my second aunt." Jin Liu said with a smile, holding Mrs. Ru's hand. "Daughter hasn't seen mother for a while, how is mother?"

"Okay!" Mrs. Ru replied, as if she was not in the mood to joke with Jin Liu, she glanced at the second lady and said, "Siblings too, why did they bring the two children? Take them out!"

"Sister-in-law doesn't know, this child is very ghostly, and she was the first to notice about the third brother!" The second lady gave Jin Xiyue a bitter look, and said to Mrs. Ru: "But what sister-in-law said is the same, Seventh girl is It's too young, it's really not good to let her participate in this matter, it's just the third girl..."

"She hasn't reached Ji yet, and if she does, she can't do it!" Madam Ru hurriedly said, glaring at Second Madam, she turned her head to look at Jin Liu.

But before Mrs. Ru asked Jin Liu to leave, the little girl who went in to report quickly walked over, knelt down and bowed, and said, "I have seen Mrs. Ru, the second lady, the third lady, and the seventh lady. Please come in."

"Let the children go in too?" Mrs. Ru asked in disbelief as she looked at the little maid in surprise.

"Yes!" The little maid nodded affirmatively.

Now that the old lady opened her mouth, even if Madam Ru didn't want to, she couldn't stop her. Seeing Jin Liu looking at her with a giggle, she glared at her, sighed helplessly, and pulled her and the second lady, Jin Xiyue went up the steps together.

Entering the main room, Jin Liu saw the third master Jin Juyuan kneeling in the middle of the room at a glance, and then took a look into the room, only to realize that the first master and the second master were all present, and even Jin Zhengyang was standing in the middle of the room. Around the master, everyone lowered their heads and looked pale. No wonder even Mrs. Ru, who was in charge of the affairs of the mansion, rushed over in a hurry.

"Third girl, why are you back?" The eldest lady greeted Jin Liu as soon as she entered the door, turned her head to look at the old lady, and sighed: "It's really not the time to come back!"

Jin Liu didn't speak, raised her head and smiled at the eldest lady, once saluted the people in the room, and finally walked up to the third master, hesitated for a moment, but still said hello softly.

Jin Juyuan didn't even raise his head, he was as limp as a frost-beaten eggplant.

"Third girl, stand beside your mother!" The old lady glared at the third master, and said to Jin Liu in a deep voice.

Jin Liu responded, and looked helplessly at the second lady. The old lady asked her to stand next to Mrs. Ru obviously because she didn't want her to interfere with the third master's affairs, so if she blamed the second lady, she wouldn't be able to speak up helped.

The second lady naturally understood the meaning of her glance, and she felt even more nervous. She tightly twisted the veil in her hand, raised her eyes to look at the old lady, and saw that she was not looking at her. Hidden behind.

"The people who should be here are all here." The old lady glanced at Jin Liu and said suddenly, "I asked you to come today because I have something to announce."

Everyone raised their heads when they heard the words, and looked at the old lady, except for the third master.

The old lady glanced at the crowd coldly, took a deep breath, and said: "I have already ordered someone to inquire about the second lady in the mansion of Foreign Lang, a member of the official department. , it's just right to match the third child, and since she is so old, the family must be anxious about her marriage, so in my opinion, don't ask a matchmaker, Liu Shi..."

"Yes, mother!" The eldest lady responded, and took a step forward to look at the old lady.

"Tomorrow, you call the eldest girl to your home and ask her to go with me to Yuanwailang's mansion to propose a marriage." The old lady said without doubt: "Wait for a nod over there, and then quickly arrange this marriage!"
