After the exam, it's still early.

Liu Runxi proposed to invite Shen Youan to dinner, which was the very good Hunan restaurant he mentioned last time.

Shen Youan readily agreed.

This is a private restaurant with a secluded location and elegant decoration, suitable for chatting.

Because this restaurant is reservation-only, it was not until noon, and the restaurant was very quiet.

When the manager saw a young man and woman walking in, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a pair of good-looking men and women."

It's so eye-catching.

His eyes fell on the young man, and he couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

Where has this boy been seen?
The manager greeted and sent him off. He had already cultivated a pair of piercing eyes. He slapped his thigh suddenly, and immediately greeted him excitedly and enthusiastically.

"Young Master Liu is here, I'm sorry to welcome you."

About half a year ago, Mr. Liu accompanied his father to eat here once, and the manager was very impressed with Mr. Liu at that time.

Liu Runxi raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "I made an appointment the day before yesterday, Songjuxiang."

The manager smiled and said, "Young Master Liu, Miss, let's go upstairs."

When going upstairs, the manager couldn't help looking at the girl walking beside Liu Runxi.

Mr. Liu's status is extraordinary, and those who can accompany him must have extraordinary status.

Seeing that this girl has a good temperament, she must be the daughter of some high-ranking official and wealthy businessman.

The manager felt emotional in his heart, and led the two into the Songju room.

The box is not big, but it has everything you need, and the view of the river outside the window is unique.

After pouring the tea and ordering the dishes, the manager walked out with a wink.

Liu Runxi blew on the clear tea soup, and ripples appeared on the calm water.

"Today's test questions are quite difficult."

"En." Shen Youan responded lightly.

"But for you, it shouldn't be a problem."

Shen You'an said, "Each to each other."

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

For so many years, the two can be said to be competitors, and I am afraid that no one in the world understands each other better than them.

Each of them has a few catties and a few taels, and their hearts are clear.

~
Jingzhou, Liyuan.

The autumn light is just right, and the babbling excerpts are full of joys and sorrows.

In the grand master's chair under the stands, a hale and hearty old woman was wearing a red double-breasted coat with a wool blanket on her knees, and she was concentrating on enjoying the performance on the stage.

In front of the surrounding tea tables, sat a few ladies with exquisite makeup and elegant charm.

One of the noble ladies who was sitting a little on the periphery propped her head a little bit out of interest, her eyes were restrained, and she looked around calmly.

Singing on the stage that sisters love each other deeply, it's really ironic.

The old woman was in good spirits, and her hands covered with gold and jade made gestures from time to time following the plot, and her cloud-handed orchid fingers were even more graceful than the famous actors on the stage.

Tsk tsk, it is indeed the No.1 character of the year.

He Lianyu took a sip of tea, and noticed a noble lady got up, and left the theater with the butler who was waiting on her side, and she was supposed to go to prepare the noon banquet.

He Lianyu squinted her eyes, stood up slowly, and the maid who stood beside her immediately greeted her, and said respectfully, "What's your order, madam?"

He Lianyu smiled, "I drank too much tea and need to change."

The so-called changing of clothes is an elegant way of saying, out of respect.

"Come with me madam."

He Lianyu followed the maid out of the theater. The pear garden where the theater is located only occupies one corner of the manor. Besides that, there are chrysanthemum garden, orchid garden, and plum garden, which together form the Four Seasons Villa.

Located on Yanshan Mountain in the outskirts of Beijing, this Zhuangzi is rumored to be the former royal garden, but now, it is just the most ordinary private garden of the Yu family.

Just one pear garden is so big that people can't find the north, and the layout is exquisite and exquisite. It is said that the old lady believes in Fengshui very much. Both the Yu family and the Four Seasons Villa where she often recuperates have strict attention to Fengshui.

For example, this bathroom is just to the east of the Liyuan. The five elements of the bathroom belong to water, while the east side belongs to wood. According to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, water can produce wood, which is good for Fengshui.

The bathroom is also arranged like an elegant hall, with sandalwood burning, expensive green plants, and even the washstand is an extremely rare blue cone stone.

He Lianyu took out a tissue and wiped her hands slowly.

Walking out of the bathroom, the maid was still waiting respectfully.

He Lianyu smiled and said: "Go and do your work, I'll take a walk in the garden."

The maid refused to leave: "I'll follow Madam from a distance, so I won't disturb Madam's pleasure."

He Lianyu smiled, the Yu family's servants are also well-trained.

He Lianyu didn't care about her anymore, and just wandered around in the garden. Although the pear garden is a theater garden, it is full of pear trees to suit the occasion. Every spring, the pear trees are full of white flowers, which is a grand sight.

Now in late autumn, there are only bare branches left on both sides of the road.

At this time, the maid said: "If madam wants to enjoy flowers, you should go to the chrysanthemum garden next door. They are all famous chrysanthemums carefully maintained by Da Furen. A few days ago, at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet held by Da Furen, the famous jade pot spring won applause from all the halls." .”

He Lianyu said regretfully: "It's a pity I couldn't witness it."

Seemingly thinking of something, she asked, "I remember the plum blossom feast every year on the first snow day, right?"

The maid smiled and said, "Yes, Second Madam Ximei, she hosts the plum blossom banquet every year."

He Lianyu raised his eyebrows.

The first generation of the Yu family fought in the mountains and rivers, and the descendants enjoyed the blessings. All of them came from grass roots, but they prefer this arty and hypocritical thing, which is really ironic.

Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. There are some things that are not in your bones. No matter how much you imitate, you can't learn half of it.

Of course, in today's Jingzhou, no one dares to ridicule in person, but it must be necessary to complain behind the scenes.

"Tell me, did you steal my bracelet? Okay, I've treated you well. Why are you so shameless?" The woman's mean voice came vaguely.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the woman's Qiqi Ai Ai begging for mercy, followed by a loud slap.

He Lianyu paused and raised his eyebrows.

The maid behind her immediately lowered her voice and said, "Ma'am, let's go this way."

The woman was very vigilant, and immediately looked in the direction where the two were hiding: "Whoever is there, get out."

He Lianyu didn't want to hide, Shi Shiran walked out under the maid's uneasy gaze.

"Second Madam, it's me."

The woman is wearing a royal blue brocade embroidered plum flower cheongsam and a snow-white sable fur shawl.

The woman's body is full of jewels and jewels, piled up with gold and jade, but it is too vulgar and looks petty.

Those apricot eyes looked He Lianyu up and down, but his eyes fell on the hairpin behind her head, he looked away with difficulty, and frowned, "Which family are you from?"

The tone was not polite at all.

He Lianyu smiled and said: "Madam, don't you remember me? My surname is Helian, and my husband's surname is Liu."

The woman suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are from the Helian family. If you are not watching a play in the opera garden, why are you hanging out? Don't you think it's cold?"

He Lianyu maintained a decent smile: "It's a little stuffy inside, come out to take a breath."

The woman narrowed her eyes, with an unkind expression on her face: "You won't go out and talk nonsense about what you saw today?"

The female family members of the Yu family beat and scolded the maid at will, and it didn't sound good when it was spread. The old lady is the one who values ​​her reputation the most, so she must be scolded again.

"Ma'am, you're overthinking. This method is too kind to deal with such a servant with dirty hands and feet."

He Lianyu's tone was casual.

The woman kneeling on the ground trembled and raised her head in disbelief.

The woman behaved dignifiedly and elegantly, she was a qualified lady, with a kind smile on her beautiful face, but a piercing coldness in her eyes.

Before the twelfth lunar month of winter, she was already icy cold.

The woman raised her eyebrows with interest: "Oh? How should I say it?"

"Stealing gold today and stealing the country in the future, madam, don't forget that I am the second wife of the Yu family. Running a family is like running an army. Only by doing good and bad, and with strict rewards and punishments, can I settle down and let the second master Yu have no worries."

The woman laughed loudly: "You are right, but unfortunately, I am not in charge."

The tone is regrettable.

He Lianyu raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, squatted down, and looked at the woman's eyes.

"If you are the one who took the second lady's gold bracelet, then you should explain it properly. The second lady is kind, and maybe you can accommodate me a little bit. If it is stabbed to the eldest lady, it will be hard to say."

The woman just shook her head desperately: "I didn't steal it, really didn't..."

The woman in front of her was very young, in her early twenties at most, with black hair scattered on her shoulders, fair skin, and beautiful appearance. When she cried, she was really pitiful.

He Lianyu stared at those Jianshui eyes, the smile on his lips deepened.

"You bitch, full of lies, see if I don't beat you to death."

After saying that, Second Madam Yu was about to start, He Lianyu grabbed her hand with a smile: "Why should Second Madam get angry because of such a villain, it's not worth it to be so angry."

"This bitch is too dishonest."

"Since this person is stubborn, staying with the second lady is also a disaster. Why don't you fire him and drive him out."

Mrs. Yu's eyes lit up with joy, and she restrained herself and said, "The power of the family is in the hands of the elder sister-in-law, so it doesn't count if I say it or not." Her tone was sour.

Mrs. Yu Wei Zhuhua, born in a famous family, a real noble lady, after marrying into Yu's family, she can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen. She is a husband and wife, and the head of the house is strict. She has a good reputation. The Yu family has what it is today. Mrs. Yu can be said to have made great contributions.

And the second Mrs. Yu in front of her is just Mrs. Yu's natal niece and grandniece, with long hair and short-sightedness, who is also fond of jealousy. Judging from the operation just now, He Lianyu really doesn't like it.

It's a pity, who let someone have a capable aunt.

He Lianyu smiled slightly: "This is easy."

She whispered a word in Mei Qingdai's ear, and Mei Qingdai's eyes lit up.

"You can try it."

"Don't go, wait for me here, I will come as I go."

Mei Qingdai left in a hurry.

He Lianyu quietly looked at the woman kneeling on the ground who was about to cry, "Stop acting, everyone is gone."

The woman choked and looked up in disbelief.

He Lianyu pinched a Dendrobium leaf and played with it on her fingertips, "Second Madam Yu can't tolerate you, so why stay here to humiliate yourself?"

Of course, he wanted to give it a go. After all, the Yu family was powerful and wealthy, and if he succeeded, it would be enough to change his life.

He Lianyu couldn't be more clear about this kind of woman's thoughts, a mocking smile curled up on the corner of her lips.

She thought of the female classmate next to her son. After the exam, Xi'er asked her to have dinner with her again.

This time, Xi'er didn't even bother to cover up, and after eating the weight, she was determined to associate with her.

A pariah of that kind of background, isn't it just that he wants to reach the sky in one step.

Hitting her idea on the head of her son, Helian Yu, was simply reckless.

In this world, there are always sparrows who wish to fly to the branches and become phoenixes.

The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.

The woman saw the noble lady in front of her holding the Dendrobium leaf in her hands, her eyes were dark, and in the blink of an eye, the intact leaf turned into pieces under the woman's tender fingertips and fell to the ground.

The woman's delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

When the eyes of the lady in front of her looked over, the woman's scalp tingled for a while.

"Do you think this deep house is a mess? Do you know that one day you don't even know how to die. Everyone wants to be rich, but it depends on whether you have that life to enjoy."

The woman always felt that the last sentence of the other party was accentuated, like a warning.

This time she was really scared, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Madam, please help me."

He Lianyu hooked her lips, "Not so stupid."

~
"According to the method you said, my sister-in-law really gave me the right to dismiss and let me handle it with full power. You are quite capable."

After solving the serious problem in her heart, Mei Qingdai's smile became much happier.

"I think it's not easy for the eldest lady to understand your difficulty. The Yu family's sisters-in-law are harmonious and the house is peaceful. It is a blessing."

He Lianyu's well-timed compliment made Mei Qingdai's face even more joyful.

"You are to my liking. Sit with me at the banquet later."

"Thank you, Second Madam."

"I remember you said that your husband's surname is Liu, is it the Liu family I know?"

He Lianyu's eyes flickered slightly: "Yes, my husband was transferred to Qingzhou five years ago to serve as the governor, and he did nothing, which made my wife laugh."

Mei Qingdai curled her lips in disgust: "Qingzhou, that's quite far away."

Backcountry.

He Lianyu pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, with a docile expression on her face.

Mei Qingdai glanced at her, her gaze seemed to fall on the back of her head, and she suddenly said: "We have a good relationship, how about this, I will help you find a way."

He Lianyu's face showed just the right surprise: "Then thank you, Second Madam."

Mei Qingdai looked at her with a smile.

He Lianyu pulled out the hairpin from the round bun on the back of her head, "I hope Madam won't dislike her."

The words stuck in the back of Mei Qingdai's head.

It was a hollow ivory crested hairpin, very luxurious and delicate.

Mei Qingdai said happily: "It's easy to talk about." She couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

He Lianyu pressed the corners of his lips secretly, and followed Mei Qingdai into the banquet hall.

As the old birthday star, Mrs. Yu is in the main position. Mrs. Yu is busy, and she is good at dancing.

At this time, a young girl walked in and threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Yu with a smile.

"Grandma, do you miss me today?"

Old Madam Yu's smiling face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and she hugged the girl into her arms.

"Hey, my sweetheart, let grandma take a good look at it."

He Lianyu stared at the girl without blinking.

Mei Qingdai twitched the corners of her mouth: "That's our Yu family's baby bump, and it's also grandma's eyeball."

He Lianyu's eyes were fiery, and she said with a smile: "Miss Yu is dignified and generous, with outstanding appearance, she is worthy of being the head of the ladies in Jingzhou."

Mei Qingdai secretly rolled her eyes.

During the banquet, several noble ladies joked from time to time to amuse Mrs. Yu, and some said that today's song "Suo Lin Nang" was sung really well, and it was indeed a masterpiece of Su's famous actor.

It was said that the eldest young master of Leng's family got into a romantic debt again, and became the laughing stock of Man Jingzhou.

Madam Yu's eyes passed through the crowd, and she locked on He Lianyu precisely.

"Mrs. Liu, I like the Nine Dragons Cloud Sea Bottle you sent me very much."

There was a moment of silence during the banquet.

Mei Qingdai blinked, subconsciously looking at the woman beside her.

Is there so much money in Qingzhou?
Mrs. Yu looked over with gentle eyes.

He Lianyu said with a smile: "It's good for the old lady to call me Xiaoyu. If you like it, I'm giving it to the right person."

This old woman probably did it on purpose, but since that's the case, I'm not being polite.

After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and continued: "Speaking of which, there was a rare treasure in the auction that day."

Mei Qingdai immediately asked with interest: "What baby?"

In the backcountry of Qingzhou, is there any treasure she has never seen before?

He Lianyu stared directly at the old lady on the main seat, looked into those cloudy eyes, and said word by word: "A legend about love, a touching sadomasochism of three lives and three generations, I think everyone who is Women will not refuse its temptation."

Mei Qingdai became more interested: "What exactly is it?"

Madam Yu subconsciously frowned.

"That is the Qingguo wing-to-wing white jade card that has been passed down for more than 1000 years."

"Slap." The chopsticks fell to the table.

The room was silent.

Yu Ruohuan saw that grandma next to her seemed to be stunned after hearing that sentence.
