carved heart

Chapter 74 Going to Yongping (7)
Seeing that Ah Yin hadn't said a word for a long time, Fan Haohe said, "Why don't we pretend to be ignorant and drive him away?"

Fan Haohe also knew it, and everyone in Yongping knew that Lord Yueming had admired his cousin for many years.If this matter fails, Master Hou will support him, so Fan Haohe has nothing to worry about.

At this time, Ah Yin suddenly said: "No need."

She thought about it, and after a while, she said: "Don't bother with them, they are useful to me, you go to the tea shop first, and also pay attention to who in Yongping likes nuclear carvings recently, and list them on the list within three days Give me."

"Yes."

Li Rong has been a little depressed recently. It is obvious that Mu Yanghou is in Mu Yanghou's mansion, but every time she goes to have a heart-to-heart talk with her future sister-in-law or future mother-in-law, she never sees Mu Yanghou.Sometimes it's just a wall away, and I still haven't seen anyone from Mu Yanghou.

But Li Rong discovered something.

Mrs. Shen has little authority in Mu Yanghou's mansion, and Mu Yanghou doesn't listen to her. Sometimes even though it's superficial, he doesn't distract himself at all.Li Rong made a note of this, and planned to not have to work so hard to please her mother-in-law in the future.

It's just that people haven't married yet, so they still have to do these scenes.

Maybe if she gets married in the future, the relationship between mother and son will be drawn closer because of her new daughter-in-law. At that time, she will have made a contribution, and her position in Mu Yanghou's mansion will be even more unbreakable.She knew that some noble girls secretly laughed at her as stupid, Mu Yanghou's mansion was not close to women, wouldn't it be the same as being a nun when marrying into it?Li Rong thought clearly, Mu Yanghou's mansion is not close to women, and he will definitely not be promiscuous outside in the future, and with the emperor's restraint, even if it is a Tongfang, it must be at least the daughter of a third-rank official.She is the first daughter in the Li family, but only the youngest daughter. All the limelight in the Li family is on the eldest daughter. If she wants to marry better than her sister, Mu Yanghou is also the best candidate, not to mention marrying Mu Yanghou , Princess Yucheng and Princess Yueming are so envious.

Every time Li Rong heard the envy of the two of them, he felt that Mu Yanghou's indifference was not a big deal.

But Mu Yanghou was so indifferent, Li Rong felt a little sad in his heart. In terms of appearance, she was not bad, and her family background was good, so why didn't Mu Yanghou take a second look at him?

Li Rong in the carriage felt a little melancholy.

Suddenly, Tao Min who was outside the carriage whispered, "Miss Rong, I saw Zhang Liulang again."

Li Rong frowned slightly, and said after a while: "Forget it, let him follow." She didn't know what happened recently, it seemed that the marriage that Yue Lao Temple was looking for was too much, and there were always a few good men with good family backgrounds around her, and It seems that he has a good impression of her, and if she didn't have the marriage of Mu Yanghou, I'm afraid she would be three-pointed.After all, she is a girl, and if she can win the favor of all the gentlemen, doesn't it also prove that she is a young and beautiful girl?No matter how much like Mu Yanghou, he doesn't look at her very much!

Tao Min said: "Miss Rong, Princess Yucheng's carriage has just passed by."

Hearing the words "Princess Yucheng", Li Rong's heart immediately returned from Zhang Liulang.If she married Zhang Liulang, how could she be majestic in front of Princess Yucheng?Sui said: "Go faster and get rid of him."

"Yes."

Li Rong is going to the tea party today.

There are many noble girls in Yongping, and there are also many tea parties. Often when this family holds it, the other family will also hold it, especially for noble girls like them, tea parties are a common occurrence.

It just so happened that Princess Yucheng and County Lord Yueming also went today, and the grievances she suffered at Mu Yanghou's place can be distributed to them.

Seeing the two of them pretending to be plain, Li Rong felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Competing with others is a lot of fun.

She was in danger in Gongcheng, and was escorted back by Mu Yanghou's people. This will definitely become a topic of conversation at the tea party.She could already anticipate the scene where she would become a star at the tea party!

However, when it comes to the tea party.

Li Rong was a little confused.

She just participated a few times less, why can't she keep up with the topic?Who is the female nuclear carving artist they are talking about?What rare mansion?

Seeing Li Rong like this, Princess Yucheng and Princess Yueming glanced at each other, each showing a faint smile.

Princess Yucheng and the head of Yueming County have already discussed it.

When Li Rong came here today, he had to talk about Mu Yanghou openly and secretly.In Yongping, everyone knows the intention of the three of them to become the master of Muyanghou's mansion.How could the two of them allow Li Rong to slap their faces for nothing today.She wants to step on their stars and hold the moon, and she wants to be beautiful.

It happened that I didn't find out the way of that female nuclei carving artist, and let all the noble ladies know about it, they aroused curiosity, and naturally found out the way for them in a reckless and stupid way.

Can you buy the mansion from that rich businessman, and still avoid their eyes and ears, and have no reliance in the huge Yongping?Oh, I don't believe a word.They wanted to see who was behind the female nuclear carving artist.

Li Rong asked: "What kind of nuclear carving artist?"

Ever since meeting the Yin family in Gongcheng, Li Rong didn't like nuclear carvers very much, especially women.In her impression, female nuclei carvers should be ashamed, because they are ugly and no good people want to learn nuclei carving. How can a decent girl show her face?But after seeing Yin's, Li Rong subconsciously sensed a hint of crisis.

Fortunately, the Yin family was still in Suizhou, and she came back to Yongping, and no one knew about the aggrieved time in Gongcheng that time.

The one who answered Li Rong was a lady beside Yueming County Lord: "You know there is a mansion on Dongque Street, right? There is also a peach blossom grove in it, which is even more beautiful than the peach blossoms in Haoyue Villa."

Li Rong didn't have much impression at first, but when he heard the comparison with Haoyue Villa, he immediately remembered it.

Isn't it the mansion that Yucheng and Yueming are vying for?But the owner was very stubborn, and no one would sell it.After Li Rong knew about it, she quietly sent someone to ask about it, but unexpectedly she was rejected in the end.Because of this matter, Li Rong was annoyed for a while, but then she felt relieved when she thought that Yucheng and Yueming didn't succeed.

She nodded slightly and asked, "The mansion was bought?"

The noble lady said: "It is the female core carving artist we mentioned earlier."

Li Rong was very surprised, as if thinking of something, she asked: "Could it have something to do with that Rong Zhaoyi?" It is now known that the female nuclear carver in the palace once flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, Transformed into the empress of the palace.

County Lord Yueming, who had been silent all this time, said, "Oh, there is some connection."

Li Rong saw that it was Yue Ming who spoke, but she didn't want to ask more questions, she pursed her lips and drank tea by herself.The rest of the noble ladies had long been used to fighting openly and covertly among the three of them. The noble ladies who were close to Li Rong on weekdays came out to smooth things over and said, "They all come from Shangguan's family. The female nuclear carver is named Yin."

Hearing the word "surname Yin", Li Rong's complexion changed slightly.

Shangguan's nuclear carving artist with the surname Yin, who else is there besides that one?
Princess Yucheng said: "Why is Sister Rong so ugly? Could it be that you recognize her?"

Li Rong would never tell what happened in Gongcheng, if she did tell her, where would she face it?Suddenly, Li Rong thought about it in a blink of an eye, and came up with a new idea.She was aggrieved in front of the Yin family. At that time, she took care of Mu Yanghou's presence, so she didn't attack in order to maintain her image.It's different now, this is Yongping, and there are Princess Yucheng and County Lord Yueming here, no matter what, let them try what she was like when she was in Gongcheng.At that time, if she doesn't need to make a move, those two will naturally do it.

No matter who is behind her, she didn't do it herself anyway.

Thinking of this, Li Rong said: "The princess is joking, how could I recognize the nuclear carving artist? I just found a way. Aren't the princess and the county master curious about the origin of the nuclear carving artist? I want to know what kind of connections she has. Isn't it simple? When a noble lady has a tea party some other day, just invite her. When the time comes, you can ask whatever you want."

As soon as these words came out, the county master Yueming sneered.

"You're right. You can invite us to the tea party. What is our status, what is her status, how can a mere nuclear carving technician be qualified to participate in our tea party? If we do, wouldn't it be a joke?"

What the head of Yueming County said made sense.

They are a group of noble girls who can participate in the tea party. Wouldn't it be a big joke to invite a nuclear carving artist who has no family background?Nowadays, there are heavy core carvers, but the only ones who can really be called gold are those who have been conferred as core carvers by the emperor.Shangguan's family has great honor, but the nuclei carving technicians from his family only make a living by handicrafts, how can they compare with these noble girls who were born with gold spoons in their mouths?

Li Rong was not annoyed, and said slowly: "I'm just offering a suggestion, and if you don't like it, it's fine. Anyway, it's just a mansion. If you didn't get it before, you can't get it now. It doesn't make any difference."

These words stepped on the painful foot of County Lord Yueming.

Li Rong is a pun.

She said that she couldn't get a man, and she couldn't even get a mansion.

County Master Yueming was about to get angry when Princess Yucheng said, "Why invite? Find something to find a reason to arrest her servants, and she can't help but not show up. How can we get invitations to our tea party so easily? "

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Rong with a half-smile.

Li Rong couldn't hear the sarcasm, she forcibly endured it, and said: "Then follow the princess's wishes." Catch it, catch it, she wants to see if Princess Yucheng can catch anyone.How can it be so easy for a follower with such a posture to fall in the trap?

Ah Yin doesn't know that she has become the topic of Yongping's noble women's circle, she has been in Yongping for seven days.For the past seven days, she stayed at home and carved cores in the house.Only in the evening will I listen to Fan Haohe's report on the day's events.

On this day, Fan Haohe mentioned that someone deliberately caused trouble.

Ah Yin was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Who is it?"

Fan Haohe said: "It should be the owner of Yueming County."

A Yin was startled again, wondering: "Have we had a feud with Yueming County Lord? Or did you offend someone when you came to Yongping before?"

Fan Haohe hurriedly said: "Miss, we are strict with ourselves, and we will never take the initiative to provoke right and wrong!" He added: "But the means are not high, we all avoided it. It's just that a few different groups of people came today. If you find something wrong, report it to the eldest girl."

Ayin suddenly felt weird.

A few days ago, when Fan Haohe said that Yueming County Lord's people were sneaking around outside, she thought it was because of Mu Yanghou.But when I heard it today, there were several groups of different people, which is strange.

She stopped the nuclei in her hand and asked, "What are they trying to do? Have you found out?"

Fan Haohe shook his head, and said: "After we bought the house, we have been outside all the time." Hearing this, A Yin seemed to have thought of something, his expression was slightly condensed, and he said: "Send a message to Mu Yanghou, tell me want to see him."

Fan Haohe agreed.

In less than half an hour, Mu Yanghou had appeared in A Yin's mansion.Yongping is so big, and Mu Yanghou's Mansion is close to Miyagi, it will take at least an hour to come here.Ah Yin looked at Mu Yanghou carefully, and suddenly said: "What is the relationship between this house and Ming Mu?"

Mu Yanghou also confessed.

"This mansion was originally a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, and he was an extremely stubborn person. He planned to sell this mansion when he was going back to Jiangnan. When he built this mansion, he spent a lot of thought, so he decided to I want to sell someone who I like. I am an old acquaintance with him, so I let him keep the mansion."

Ah Yin understood, and asked, "When did this happen?"

Mu Yanghou said, "In the middle of last year."

Ah Yin blushed slightly, and said: "Ming Mu is so confident that I will definitely come to Yongping?"

Mu Yanghou said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't come, anyway, it's reserved for you. If you don't come, no one will live here." He came forward and held her hand. I haven't seen her for a few days, and I miss her more and more. tight.

Ah Yin looked up at him and said, "What's the matter with your cousin?"

Shen Changtang smiled and said: "There are so many people in this mansion in Yongping, besides her, there are many noble ladies. Is this gift suitable?" He knew what she wanted when she came to Yongping, so he gave it to her this opportunity.

Ah Yin suddenly realized.

No wonder, so many people stared at her as soon as she came, it turned out to be because of this mansion.

But this gift is also really desirable.

She held his hand instead, leaned forward slightly, pecked his lips, then stepped back and asked with a smile: "Does anyone know that this mansion is yours?"

She reacted like this, showing her satisfaction.

It's just that she was satisfied, but he was still dissatisfied. With a generous palm, he pressed her head directly in front of his face, bowed his head and kissed her deeply.

"I know, you know, old acquaintances know."

Ah Yin asked: "Is it trustworthy?" As she spoke, she smiled again, and said to herself: "Yes, how can Ming Mu's people not believe it? I'm afraid Ming Mu is more worried about being discovered now? The Holy One doesn't like me."

Mentioning the emperor, Shen Changtang said again: "He just doesn't know how good you are, and he will naturally like you after getting in touch with you."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "As soon as the sage agrees, I will marry you immediately."

Ah Yin frowned and smiled.

"It seems that Princess Yucheng's people set up several traps." Tao Min said uncertainly.In fact, she is not very clear, as a little maidservant, her ability to inquire about things outside is limited, and most of them come from talking with the maidservants of other noble girls when she is out.

Li Rong sneered and said: "It's strange to be caught in the trap. Yucheng is very self-confident, so how can the Yin family fall into the trap so easily? Last time I laughed at me, but this time I want to see who sees whose joke .”

As soon as Li Rong finished speaking, she immediately said: "Go prepare a greeting card and send it to the princess mansion. I can see Yucheng's jokes, how can I miss it!"

Tao Min responded immediately and said: "Yes, I will prepare right away." In less than a quarter of an hour, Tao Min came back and said, "Miss Rong, the greeting card has been sent over, and the carriage is ready. go out."

Tao Min's efficiency surprised Li Rong.

She said: "After returning from Suizhou, my hands and feet are much smarter."

Tao Min rubbed her nose and smiled: "Thank you Miss Rong for your compliment." At the same time, she was very grateful for the sound.After she reported it to Ms. Rong, Ms. Rong didn't care about raising another servant in the mansion, and she heard that Zhuiyin was good at cooking, so she brought her back to Yongping.That Zhuyin is also really good, not only is he a good cook, he serves Miss Rong who has a tricky taste submissively, and he is also a bit smart, but he knows how to measure, and never competes with her for the limelight.This time, there were many reminders, one by one, that she was able to get things done so quickly, which was praised by Miss Rong.

Counting with her fingers, Miss Rong praised her that it was a few years ago.

Tao Min happily sent Li Rong to the carriage, and accompanied her to the Princess Mansion.

Princess Yucheng is quite favored by the emperor, she is the only one among the princesses and princes at this age who is alone in opening the mansion.

Li Rong has been to the Princess Mansion many times, and although she said that she competed secretly, the contact between noble girls is also indispensable.However, today's speed surprised Li Rong a little. In the past, it took at least half an hour to send a greeting card, but today it took less than a stick of incense to get a reply.

Li Rong thought to herself, could it be that she suffocated in front of Yin Shi?Are you here to discuss countermeasures with her?
Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Li Rong felt that it was impossible. Princess Yucheng was so proud that no one would notice if she was deflated, so why was it so happy to see her today?
The servant girl led her into the Huarong Pavilion, and she almost saw Princess Yucheng and County Master Yueming as soon as she raised her eyes.

Li Rong knew it. Since Mu Yanghou began to pay attention to their Li family, the two became closer and closer. She didn't know what they said, but she could guess roughly that an enemy's enemy is a friend. There must be a lot of bad things about her in the pile.

However, when she thought that the two were jealous, Li Rong was a little blissful again, and even her footsteps became a little lighter. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, the county master is here too."
