My concubines are talents

Chapter 34
That is to say, Hu Lu is the only man in the palace, otherwise Xiao Guo'er might have to sit on wax.

After Hu Lu asked clearly, he found out that Xiao Guo'er had lost too much, and the IOU was written so thickly that he almost lifted the table and called the Queen Mother.

In order to stabilize Xiao Guoer, who was on the verge of going berserk, and reap the fruits of victory, Wan Linglong made a concession, allowing Xiao Guoer to replace those IOUs with valuable things on her body.

At that time, Xiao Guoer had already lost all the jewelry on Xiao Guoer's body. In the end, the concubine Xian chose the dignity of her empress in the East Palace, and walked out of the Weiyang Palace without any wind, which really shocked Wan Linglong and the three of them. Hello guys.

Ao Tunying was even more amazed, "This bitch is a ruthless person!"

Xiao Guo'er has always been unpopular in the harem, so she suspects that Wan Linglong is collaborating with Miao Hongxiu and Ao Tunying to plot against her.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Hu Lu pinched her babbling mouth with his fingers, "Linglong and Hongxiu may join forces, and Yingzi has always had a good relationship with you, so she won't cheat you, right?" ?”

"Why not? I spread the news about her eight-year-old still peeing on the kang. She must be taking revenge on me!"

Yu Zhiyu realized that it was too late for him to cover his ears, so he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully. Wow, eight years old still peeing on the kang!

"Don't worry, I told her later that I passed it on, and she had a fight with me. This matter has been turned over, and she didn't suspect it was you."

"What," Xiao Guo'er immediately burst into tears again, so touched, "Then brother, she didn't hurt you, did she?"

"Are you kidding me? She was only eight years old at that time, and I could still be bullied by an eight-year-old girl." Hu Lu touched his tailbone subconsciously, expressing that there was absolutely no such possibility.

"That's good, brother, you are so kind to Guoer~" Xiao Guoer said delicately.

Hu Lu stroked her head, "So you lost out of inferior skills. Wan Linglong is good at card counting. You won't be wronged if you lose. From now on, you can play rock-paper-scissors with her, and you can lose less."

Xiao Guoer reflected for a while, "No, but she still has Miao Hongxiu, it's all Yu Meiren's fault, if you were here last night, I wouldn't have lost so badly~"

Yu Zhiyu, "I..."

Hu Lu nodded, "It makes sense, two against two is fair."

Xiao Guoer was greatly encouraged, "Xiao Yu, let's fight back, defend the dignity of the East Palace together, and win Wan Linglong's underwear!"

Hu Lu pressed down on the impassioned Xiao Guoer, "I'm afraid I can't do it today, Yu Meiren is going home to visit her relatives, let's talk about it when I get back."

"Ah, go home to visit your relatives, so suddenly?"

"Not suddenly, her eldest brother returned to Beijing to report on his work, and it's time for their brother and sister to reunite." Hu Lu got up, persuaded Xiao Guoer to go out, and let Yu Meiren take the opportunity to dress and tidy up.

After leaving the room, Xiao Guo'er also took the opportunity to propose, "Then I'll go home and save my relatives. It's a bit embarrassing to always ask for my aunt's money. This time I'll ask my father and brothers for some."

"You can visit relatives, but it's okay to ask for money. Father-in-law and brother-in-law are all officials, and they don't have much money. They are definitely not as rich as Wansan. Let me give it to you. You can make a list of how much you lost last night."

"Ah, but won't Wan Linglong know about it?" Xiao Guo'er's self-esteem was causing trouble. If the surname Wan found out, how could she hang around in this harem in the future?

Hu Lu, "Don't worry, she doesn't even know that I have a small coffer."

Xiao Guoer's eyes immediately lit up, "Do you want someone to help you manage the small treasury?"

Hu Lu refused, "Money in my hands is money, but in your hands it is someone else's money, Guoer, you don't have that kind of wealth luck, you should go home obediently after dinner to visit your relatives, oh, and, care more Let’s talk about Xiao Yan’s marriage, he is already 23, it’s unreasonable not to get married.”

"Okay, then I'll go back and tidy up and bring auspicious wishes with me. If my father and brothers insist on giving these two cuties pocket money, I can't stop them~" Xiao Guoer smiled, turned and left, only to go out and leave. Feel the coolness hit.

In the past, once entering the palace, the gate was as deep as the sea, and it was as difficult for the concubine to leave the palace. It would be considered good to be allowed to visit relatives once in a lifetime.

But Hu Lu and his concubines in the harem have a unique way of getting along. If you feel homesick, you can meet your relatives in the Hall of Yinyi, or go out to visit relatives, as long as the security work is perfect.

It's just that they are used to living in the palace, Xiao Guoer and Wan Linglong only go out of the palace every year, and Miao Hongxiu only leaves the palace when her brother is in the capital.

Yu Meiren and Xiao Guoer went out of the palace one after another, while Hu Lu waited for the old eighth's reply in the Four Elephants Hall.

Yu's house in the capital.

Yu Shaoyan went to the yamen early in the morning. Her wife, Sun Muzhen, first got the news last night that her father-in-law was coming home today, and then received a letter from the palace early in the morning, saying that the beautiful Mrs. Yu was going home today to visit her relatives.

This made this capable woman very anxious, without her husband's consultation, and there were not enough staff in the family, so she had to ask the maid to go to her mother's house to call for help.

There is no need to make any fanfare to welcome the father-in-law, but Yu Zhiyu is now a nobleman in the palace, with a respected status and should not be taken lightly.

Soon, the Yu residence was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and went to the restaurant outside to invite the chef in charge, and bought the most expensive dried fruits. It was the first time she did this kind of thing, and she was afraid that there might be some inconsiderate things.

"Girl, do you still want to hire a musical instrument team?" asked the niece of her mother's family who was eating melon seeds next to her.

"Qiao'er, can you do some work, and don't come up with random ideas. My aunt is quiet by nature and doesn't like those things. When you see her, you'd better talk less. Don't make your aunt angry, you know. "Sun Muzhen taught.

Sun Qiaoer was very angry. The other party was younger than herself, but she wanted to call her aunt, it was really unreasonable!

"Auntie, I also signed up for the show girl contest, don't underestimate me, maybe Yu Zhiyu and I will be sisters in the palace in the future." Sun Qiaoer laughed silly.

Sun Muzhen looked at it and shook her head. The difference between her niece and her little aunt was nothing short of cloud and mud. Although she was her niece by blood, she still wanted to say: daydreaming really blinded your heart.

To Sun's surprise, Yu Zhiyu's carriage and sedan chair arrived earlier than her father-in-law's.

Seeing the four tall horses pulling, inlaid with gold and silver decorations, like a small moving castle, surrounded by dozens of female guards lined up to protect the ultra-luxury carriage, Sun Muzhen couldn't help but bend down.

But what Sun Qiaoer thought was: the beauty should be like this!He can replace it!
Putao got out of the carriage first, and then she and Cherry in the carriage helped Poppy get out of the carriage.

Seeing his niece and daughter-in-law, Yu Zhiyu was about to greet her with a smile when Sun Muzhen pulled Sun Qiaoer to give Yu Zhiyu a big gift.

This kind of etiquette can only be enjoyed by her during the Chinese New Year, and usually a red envelope is given in this case.

She didn't bring a red envelope, but she also brought a lot of treasures, she was very confident, "Muzhen doesn't need to be polite, this is Qiaoer."

Sun Qiaoer was still in good spirits just now, but now she kowtowed cleverly, "I have seen my aunt, she is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy in a painting, no wonder she is liked by His Majesty."

Yu Zhiyu blushed slightly, and immediately rewarded her with a hosta, and then they entered the room to talk.

"Brother hasn't come back yet?" Yu Zhiyu asked anxiously.

"The letter said we could arrive early in the morning, and it's almost noon~" Sun Muzhen explained.

Just as he was talking, an old man in rough clothes came in quietly from the door.

Yu Zhiyu was the first to spot him, "Brother!"

Yu Zhihou laughed, not as polite as his daughter-in-law, "I knew it was Xiao Yuer when I saw the battle outside. This is the sugar figurine I bought for you in the alley next door."

"Thank you bro!"

Yu Zhiyu took the sugar figurine and licked it, and asked strangely, "Brother, why is he dressed like this, an official uniform?"

Yu Zhihou waved his hands, and said with a smile, "I heard that there was a bandit hidden on a hill on the way to Beijing, so I changed into this clothes for safety's sake, but I didn't meet the bandit, but met the bandit army."

As he was speaking, he saw a fat young man with white face and official uniform appearing in front of Yu Zhiyu in a kneeling posture.

"My minister, He Kun, has met Yu Meiren's empress, and the empress is a thousand years old!"

(ps: By the way, is the aunt of the aunt’s in-law’s family called aunt or aunt?)
