You are back

Chapter 125 Splashing and Not Splashing
Miss Wu Jiu, Miss Yuan Jiajiu and Miss Eleven drank tea for an afternoon, and watched the celebrity Danqing for an afternoon. After leaving Yuan's house, they went straight to the palace.

Miss Wu Jiu's car barely stopped at the gate of the palace, and stopped only after entering the palace gate. Miss Wu Jiu got out of the car and went straight to Empress Wu's palace.

When Queen Wu saw her coming in, she smiled and said, "Counting the time, it's time for you to arrive. Sit here."

"Aunt." Miss Wu Jiu bowed her knees and sat next to Empress Wu.

She and Empress Wu have always been as close as mother and daughter.

"Asked clearly." Before Queen Wu could speak, Miss Wu Jiu smiled and said: "My aunt also knows that the two Yuan family members are not scheming. It is Miss Shao Qi's own idea. Shao Qi and the Li family I met the eldest lady on the way to Beijing. At that time, the eldest lady was with Pei Shijiu. She said she encountered a robber and got separated from Mr. Pei Shiqi. When she met Shao Shizi and the others, Shao Shizi invited They walk together.”

Empress Wu nodded slowly. She already knew this, but did not interrupt Miss Wu Jiu.

"Yuan Jiu said that Miss Shao Qi liked the eldest daughter of the Li family very much. When Yuan Jiu met Miss Shao Qi for the first time, all Miss Shao Qi talked about was how interesting the eldest daughter of the Li family was and how to treat her well. Shao Miss Seven heard about the grounding of the eldest daughter of the Li family from Yuan Shiyi. She said that she was anxious at that time. She shouted that she had to save the Li family sister and was anxious to go back. She also kept asking Yuan Jiu what to do. .”

"I'm sincere." Empress Wu said with an unclear expression.

"Well, Yuan Jiu said the same thing, saying that Miss Shao Qi regarded the eldest daughter of the Li family as her biological sister. Yuan Jiu said that Miss Shao Qi was afraid that her face would not be used, so she specially used Shao Shizi's post to invite her. Miss Li." Miss Wu Jiu frowned. She couldn't understand this matter. Because the eldest Miss of the Li family had done something wrong and was grounded to think about it, so she just took her out. Miss Shao Qi could just forget about it. , that is a brainless person, why is Shao Shizi also brainless?
"Sister Ruo said yesterday that she is a cheap elder sister who will be [-] after the new year, and she is not too young. Her mother-in-law and mother-in-law have been worrying about this marriage since she came back. They have chosen thousands of choices, and finally picked one But there is a suitable marriage anywhere."

When Empress Wu said this, she looked at Miss Wu Jiu with a smile. Miss Wu Jiu frowned and shook her head. She couldn't think of which one at the moment, but since Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yuan were the ones, it must be bad.

"The eldest grandson of the Chen family who has returned to the clan." Empress Wu said one sentence and chuckled, "It's true, it can be suitable anywhere, except for one who abandons himself and the other who is abandoned."

"The Chen family is willing? The Chen family may not be willing. There is nothing wrong with this marriage on the surface. I don't think it will work." Miss Wu Jiu quickly weighed all parties, "The eldest sister of the Li family is not a worry-free person. The Li family was anxious to marry her, and they must have thought she was too difficult to deal with. The married girl poured out water. The grandson of the Chen family has become more and more absurd in the past two years. Besides, this grandson's family Who in the capital doesn’t know about those bad things? After a little inquiring, who is willing to marry?”

"What you said is right, and it's not right." Empress Wu pinched the cup with a calm expression, "That eldest sister of the Li family is not simple, let alone worry-free. This is true. But because of this sentence, the Chen family I'm really not sure about it, this sister Li is ignorant and fearless in addition to her heart and courage, who knows what will happen if she really marries the eldest grandson of their family? With the Pei family, at the other end, it even caught up with the Huainan Palace."

"I think it's easy again." Miss Wu Jiu showed shame.

"It's not bad, you're still young." Empress Wu comforted her with a smile, "It's not right to say that again, a married girl is not just splashed water, your aunt and I are a married girl..."

"Auntie! You know I'm not..." Miss Wu Jiu explained coquettishly, and Empress Wu interrupted her with a smile, "I know I know, you didn't mean me. It’s because they threw out their daughters as dirty water.”

Miss Wu Jiu frowned and looked at Empress Wu, her aunt's thoughts became more and more weird over the years.

"But there are also many families who have high hopes for their married daughters, counting on them to support the family and establish a family, and even change families and move up to a higher level."

Empress Wu seemed to see Empress Dowager Wu standing in front of her again, looking down at her, "...there is no such thing as a perfect law in this world. You should think about it and support your father and brother. You have to look away from this son, okay?" Now, you are the queen, no matter what, the status of a queen mother is indispensable."

"Auntie." Miss Wu Jiu looked at Queen Wu with a hint of pity, "My father often said that the Wu family is what it is today because of our auntie."

"Hmm." Empress Wu lifted her chin slightly, "It's not just the Wu family, if it wasn't for the first queen mother, where would the Sun family come from today? How can any of the men in the Sun family be promising? Hmph!" Empress Wu snorted contemptuously. One sound.

"The Sun family is supported by the eldest princess." Miss Wu Jiu's words were very harsh, and Empress Wu laughed, "You see things clearly. Now, the Li family is looking at the Sun family and our family. It is important to revive the family reputation." As for the matter, great expectations are placed on their sister Ruo."

"Then aunt still..." Miss Wu Jiu didn't continue her words. Since the Li family and Li Ruo have such a plan, shouldn't she be removed from the list of concubines to be selected?

"The Li family is torn apart, unlike our Wu family. Now there is a young lady who is the head of the direct branch..." Empress Wu smiled softly, "Ninth sister, please pass a message to the girl in the Huainan Palace. Just say what I said, pray at the White Horse Temple the day after tomorrow, and ask her to bring the eldest lady of the Li family, poor girl, I want to see her."

"Don't worry, aunt." Miss Wu Jiu responded with a smile.

Zhou Rui responded to Li Yan's request for help, went back and thought hard for a long time, but had no clue. Before noon the next day, he inquired about Xiong Keding and Fan Botao on duty, with one hand carrying pork head meat, raw fried lung, nine-turned large intestine, etc. A few of Yu Shu's favorite foods, with a small jar of wine in his other hand, went into Yu Shu's small courtyard.

Yu Shu was drying the steamed buns facing the stove. Seeing Zhou Rui coming in with wine and vegetables, he was so happy that he drooled. He hurriedly turned on the stove, put the pot on, cut half a Chinese cabbage, cooked it with the pig's head meat, and grabbed it again. Putting a lot of fans in, Zhou Rui moved a small table over and put it next to the stove, and the two of them gathered around the stove, eating and drinking.

After drinking half of the wine, Zhou Rui looked at Yu Shu and asked, "Old Yu, what should I do if I want to fish something in the back lake at this moment?"
