After leaving Xingyuan, Li took Xiangyu to Jinyuan for a seat, and then sent her back to Shaoyuan.

After returning to Lanyuan, Li asked someone to invite Chu Yu, and told her about taking Tianhui and Xiangyu to the Sun family tomorrow, and then said, "I see that the child is a sensible. After coming back tomorrow, I will tell her well. If she doesn't cry, the old lady will have less pain."

Chu Yu agreed and took Tianhui and Xiangyu out of the house the next day.

Although I asked someone to say hello in the morning, it was still a little hasty.

When Cao Ying got the news, he told his parents-in-law and was waiting to welcome the distinguished guests.

She was still surprised, not knowing why Chu Yu came. After all, tomorrow is the day when Tianbao "catches Zhou". I can't say anything, so I have to come here specially today.

Chu Yu took two girls, but did not go to the Sun family directly. She asked someone to say hello to the Sun family, saying that it was the first afternoon (eleven o'clock in the morning) and it was still early.

She first took her two children to the front door. She bought a new shop a few days ago and had almost finished it. This is what she was planning to open an "inner promotion" for Tianhui.

This shop is based on the old layout of the front door merchant, with the front and back factory, so the depth is very wide. Now the boots makers have not started working, so the inner courtyard is empty.

There are three main rooms, with one ear room on each side. There is one room next to the landlord, and the door is opened separately, which is an elegant room where the "owner" comes to check the accounts.

Chu Yu took Tianhui and Xiangyu to go around the yard, and he could clearly distinguish where the warehouse and where the workshop were.

Tianhui and Xiangyu both had a bit of excitement on their faces, and they walked around and sat in the elegant room with Chu Yu.

There was a Zhang Yi family who had already brought a few maids and mothers, laid seat cushions, and poured tea.

"Have you set a date for opening?" Chu Yu asked Tianhui.

Tianhui said: "Aunt said that the most important thing is to avoid June, maybe it is to choose days at the end of May or early July."

"How to distribute the income? Have you booked it?" Chu Yu looked at his daughter lovingly and asked.

"Auntie 30%; Sister Yu, Sister Fourth, Auntie 50% each, and Two Sisters of the Second Auntie's family, each of them is half as much as they are from ten years old." Tianhui replied.

When Chu Yu heard this, he nodded with a smile.

Everyone knows that this shop was opened by Tianhui and Niu Niu. It is necessary to take up the big deal for Niu Niu. I will give my aunts and sisters some rouge and silver, so that I can't make any mistakes in this way.

This shop was originally asked by my daughter to play with it.

Xiangyu was listening, but she felt a little embarrassed and said to Tianhui in a low voice: "Sister Hui, I did nothing, why do I get the money for nothing? Or I would pay a piece of money like my aunt... But I am not as rich as my aunt, and I don't have much money to take out..."

Due to the influence of the Cao family tradition, the children are in charge of monthly money and have to learn to make their own income and expenditure books, so Xiangyu also has some savings.

Tianhui shook her head and said, "No, my aunt and I have enough money. Didn't you help me see the cloth sample and dyeing agent? This has also helped me and my aunt."

When Xiangyu heard this, her eyes shining and she smiled with her little mouth pursed.

Chu Yu sighed in his heart and took them to Sun's house.

Cao Ying had been waiting for a while, and when he heard the guests arrived, he followed his mother-in-law An and his sister-in-law Gao to the outside of the second gate.

After meeting each other, everyone surrounded Chu Yu and went to Cao Ying's yard.

Seeing that Tianhui and Xiangyu were both good, An had to look at her more. After hearing that Xiangyu was a girl from the Li family, she changed her face.

The Li family has been questioned, and the Cao family is still protecting the Li girl; the Sun family is just dismissed from office, but the Cao family is watching the Sun family daughter go to the palace to serve. It is familiar and far away, and it is clear at a glance.

An was angry, but he knew that he had to slap the Cao family now, squeezed and laughed, accompanied Chu Yu to say a few family matters, and then went out. Gao was very tactful, and when he saw his mother-in-law go down, he also used the excuse to go to the kitchen to prepare a seat and accused him of guilt.

Cao Ying was confused and asked many questions in front of the children, so he ordered his daughter to take Tianhui and Xiangyu back to her room to play.

Sun Xian responded, Tianhui looked at Chu Yu hesitantly, and when he saw her nodding, he took Xiangyu to the west wing where Sun Xian was.

"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" Cao Ying hesitated and asked.

She had already learned from her mother-in-law about her cousin giving her to the village, and she felt a little uneasy, afraid that Cao Yong would help the Sun family without telling Chu Yu. After all, ten acres of land were expensive.

My cousin was in a timely manner. Although she was grateful to her, she was unwilling to make her parents' home uneasy because of this. In that case, she, the sister, would be ashamed.

"Sister, I'm here today, mainly to bring Xiangyu to meet your third girl. Xiangyu is also in the small selection booklet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and will be sent to the palace on the 15th. Our old lady wants to let them know each other and have some care in the future." Chu Yu said.

Cao Ying was surprised to speak.

The third girl from the Sun family is fine. She is thirteen this year, and she is the age of choosing a job in the palace. The beautiful girl from the Li family is only in her teens. When Li Xu asked for guilt, she seemed to be confiscated by the family members of the criminals.

"Tomorrow, Tianbao's 'catching Zhou'. If the eldest sister is cheap, she will take the third girl over there. It's just a few days before, so it's better to let their aunts and nephews get familiar with each other." Chu Yu said.

Cao Ying had nothing to say, and hurriedly responded, and then asked someone to invite his sister-in-law to come.

This third girl is in her prime, not tall and slim in shape, unlike girls in the north. She has the aura of a Jiangnan woman. Her appearance is only pretty and not outstanding. She speaks with a Nanyin, gentle and very amiable.

Chu Yu gave a meeting gift to the agate bracelet, and then Cao Ying sent someone to the west wing to invite Tianhui and the others to come and meet.

The third girl already knew about her entry into the palace, so she cried a few times in private, but she didn't say anything in front of her. Now she saw her nephew and grandson and her two cousins ​​carefree, and she stood aside, only envy.

Among the Cao sisters, Chu Yu and Cao Ying are not very close, and there is not much to talk about.

So, Chu Yu didn't stay for too long, so he took Tianhui and Xiangyu back home after using the meal.

Li did not ask Xiangyu to go back to Shaoyuan directly, but left her in Lanyuan.

After sending all the servants out, Li mentioned Xiangyu's entry into the palace for military service.

Xiangyu was confused when she heard this, her little face was pale, and she asked in a low voice for a while: "Grandma, are you the only granddaughter going?"

"No, there are three girls from the Sun family. Because the Li family is a tutor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this is impossible. But you don't have to be afraid. After a few years, you will find a way to pick you up." Li said softly.

Big tears rolled down Xiangyu's eyes. She begged, pulled Li's sleeve, and choked and said, "Grandma, how can my granddaughter not be? My granddaughter is afraid and doesn't want to be a palace maid..."

Li took the veil, wiped her tears, and said, "Your grandfather made a mistake, your father will be implicated. If you go to the palace to work hard, you will also be filial."

"But... what should I do if the ancestor? The ancestor likes his granddaughter to knock on her legs, and he also likes his granddaughter to play 'go-hu' with her..." Xiangyu couldn't stop her tears and she cried.

Li's eyes turned red, she hugged Xiangyu in her arms, groped her hair and said, "It is because she knows that your ancestor can't bear to leave you that my aunt told you first. Your ancestor is old and can't help but be very sad... You have to be stronger so that your ancestor can't rest assured..."

Xiangyu stayed in Lanyuan until the lamp was held before returning to Shaoyuan.

Old Gao's eyes were blurred and he didn't see anything wrong with her. He just asked where she had gone. Finally, he told her not to worry about her in the future. No matter how naughty she is in the mansion, she is not peaceful outside and is not ambition.

Xiangyu responded from her mouth, went to bed early, and cried silently all night in the quilt.

The next day, Tianbao "catched Zhou".

The Cao family did not have a big banquet for guests. In addition to the female relatives of the East and West Mansions, they only invited the Chun Prince's Mansion and several guests from the aunt's house. The third girl from the Sun family also came with her sister-in-law and was taken to the Jinyuan by Tianhui, and became much more familiar with everyone.

Tianbao has already started to learn to speak. No matter who holds him, he will shout "mama" and make everyone love him.

Gao never likes to meet guests, and his grandson's good days are dressed in a fresh dress and talks with him in the Lanyuan.

As she got older, her temperament gradually became calmer, and she could also talk about family matters with Prince Chun and Prince Fujin.

I think Cao Jia and Cao Yi also got news from the Li family, so I kept paying attention to Li, and saw that she looked as normal, so I felt a little relieved.

After half a day of trouble, Tianbao, the little birthday boy, grabbed a piece of ink, and everyone was very happy.

Cao Yong saw the guests away and went to Shichahai Weiquan Hall to attend the banquet in Yiduli.

On the Cao family, Li went to Shaoyuan and told Gao Taijun the truth about Li Xu's crime and the fact that Xiangyu was about to enter the palace for service.

Gao Taijun waited and sat quietly for a while, without saying anything. Li was worried and stayed with her until night before leaving.

That night, neither Gao Taijun from Shaoyao or Li from Lanyuan, nor did they sleep.

The next morning, Li went to Shaoyuan. She was worried that the old lady would not be able to bear it because she was anxious.

Gao Taijun had already gotten up and was combing Xiangyu's hair with a comb. But in just one night, the wrinkles on her face became deeper and deeper, and her eyes were hunched over, and red bloodshot inside.

Xiangyu's eyes were red, but she forced a smile and said, "If my cousin's 'Neliansheng' was like my aunt's shop, it would be better to open the whole city. If the granddaughter had a lot of dividends, I would invite a big golden Buddha to the ancestor."

Gao Taijun let her swear and braid her with all his heart.

It was not until the braids of fragrant jade that Gao Taijun discovered that Li had arrived.

She glanced at Li indifferently and sent Xiangyu out to play.

Xiangyu looked at Li carefully before obeying the order.

Gao Taijun took out two boxes from the drawer of the kang table, pushed them to Li, and said, "There are some gold here, which was left to me by your uncle. What is the use of me, a lonely old woman? I originally divided two parts, thinking of one for the younger generation of the Li family and one for the younger generation of the Cao family, and I would not let the children respect me for filial piety. Now I am sorry to you. Take a box to respect the Queen of the King and the Queen of the Concubine, begging her to take care of Xiangyu for the sake of being close to the Li family; buy a yard, and wait for the Li family's family to settle..."

Li refused to accept it and said, "Mother, the house, Zhuangzi, and Brother Yong are ready to do it, so they will never suffer. The daughter will also plead for the concubine. You should keep the gold!"
