Chapter 45

"What do you know!" Mrs. Wang grabbed Nanny Zhang by the collar, "It took ten years of hard work in my cloth shop to achieve this achievement. Fortunately, she just took it with a few words and left!"

Nurse Zhang was trembling like a little rabbit when she held her in her hand: "The master is also strange, why do you favor her?"

Wang's face darkened, and she let go of Nanny Zhang's collar: This is really strange.

The bamboo curtain at the door of the room was lifted, and Li Ying Shiran walked in, and saw the powdered porcelain fragments falling on the ground, Li Ying frowned, and walked in front of Mrs Wang: "Mother took it away because of my sister. Are you angry at mother's cloth?"

Mrs. Wang grabbed her hand: "That cloth village was supposed to be brought to King Li by you. As a result, it has now become the property of Duke Huguo's Mansion."

"It's okay." Li Ying seemed to comfort Wang, "Isn't it just Ruixiangxuan, isn't mother looking for a piece of land from my father today? Since my father gave Ruixiangxuan to my sister, my mother just had an excuse to ask my father for that piece of land." .”

Speaking of that piece of land, it is absolutely good.The Wang family has been greedy for a long time.It's just that Li Datong refused to let go.Ruixiangxuan is not as good as that piece of land.

It's no problem to get that piece of land, plant fruit trees, build a cloth workshop, and build a cloth shop bigger than Ruixiangxuan.

After hearing what Li Ying said, Mrs. Wang felt better.Zhuyin hurried in from the outside, knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, it's not good, the master has promised to the second lady the piece of land that Madam thinks about every day."

In the morning, it was sunny after the rain and the air was refreshing. Li Min got up early and meditated on the bed.

Nian Xia knew that she had to meditate first after getting up early, so she brought a copper basin face towel and waited until it was almost time before going in with Chunmei to help her get up early.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Min stretched on the bed.The little maid who sprinkled water and swept the floor opened the bamboo curtain, and Nian Xia and Chun Mei each carried their things into the wing room.

Start by brushing your teeth.Li Min asked someone to make a simple toothbrush with bristles and chopsticks, dipped it in some salt, and brushed it on his teeth.After brushing, he swallowed a mouthful of boiling water with a teacup to rinse his mouth, and finally spit the dirty water into the spittoon.

If we say that the most inconvenient place in ancient times is nothing more than going to the toilet.

The ladies of the ancient family didn't go to the toilet, they set up their own pails in the house.

It's really hard for this Gong barrel to squat.Li Min thinks about it, it's better to have someone make a toilet for her another day, otherwise, when she gets old, how can she squat on the toilet.

When this idea popped up in my heart, it meant that I might have accepted the fact that I would stay in this ancient times for the rest of my life.

Seeing that she seemed to be distracted when she was washing her face, Nian Xia thought she was thinking about what happened yesterday, and excitedly whispered a message to her ear: "In Madam's room, it is said that this morning, Madam is really ill. Go to the old lady for morning tea."

Two pieces of flesh had been cut on Wang's heart, and her heart ached to death. She was not sick, but now Wang was completely afraid that Li Min would continue to cut flesh on her heart.

Li Min wiped his face and washed his hands: "This matter, the old lady can do what she wants to do. It's not the daughter's turn to take care of the daughter-in-law's affairs."

"Second Miss is right." Nian Xia said with a smile.

After removing the tools for brushing her teeth and washing her face in the morning, Chunmei went to the kitchen to serve breakfast.Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Nian Xia took out a letter from her cuff and handed it to Li Min.

"This is—" Li Min took it, and was not in a hurry to take it apart.

Nian Xia took a step back and said in a soft voice, "Master Xu ordered someone to bring it this morning. It is said that it was delivered by the wife of the second rank."

Did Zhang send any information to her?Is it just a thank you letter?

Li Min opened the envelope, and saw an invitation card inside.

There is no printing technique in ancient invitation cards, they are all hand-painted.The exquisite craftsmanship of the painter is vividly displayed on the two peonies vying for beauty on the invitation card, and the three big characters on it read: Banquet of Hundred Flowers.

Li Min passed his questioning eyes to Nian Xia.

Regarding the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Qing family of Guanglu Temple has held it almost every year since their daughter took the position of queen.Last year and the year before last, Li Ying, whose reputation for beauty gradually became popular in Beijing, was invited to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and this year is definitely no exception.

Therefore, this Hundred Flowers Feast is euphemistically called "Hundred Flowers Zhengyan", but in fact, it is to invite the famous romantic talents in the capital, handsome men and beautiful women, gifted scholars and beauties, to gather together to compete for fame and beauty.Just like the selection of the oiran in the brothel, the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet will also compete for three kings of flowers.

Now that everyone knows that it is a place where only beauties and handsome men are eligible to go, Li Min, then needless to say, the legendary tuberculosis ghost, the empress's natal family can only invite someone who is insane. The tuberculosis ghost went to his own home.

But now, this invitation was really sent to her, Li Min.Although I don't know what role the Zhang family played in this, it is conceivable that there must be something wrong with the empress's natal family, otherwise, she would never dare to take such a big risk.

Li Min's guess was correct.

Yesterday, Mrs. Zhang had just finalized the idea of ​​introducing Li Min to the Qing family of Guanglu Temple, and someone from the Qing family of Guanglu Temple was already waiting for her in her residence.

Mrs. Zhang was secretly surprised, only to see that the person sent by the Qing family of Guanglu Temple turned out to be the sixth aunt.

Who is this sixth aunt?
Although the Sixth Aunt was a slave, no one who knew her background dared to treat her as a slave.Sixth aunt's backing is very big.

In the past, Aunt Six was a court lady in the imperial palace. It is said that she once worked in the Empress Dowager's Palace at that time, so she was quite a senior court lady.

Later, the Qing family of Guanglu Temple decided to train their daughter to enter the palace. In this way, they must go to the palace to find someone to educate their daughter in order to regulate etiquette in the palace.In the end, the Qing family of Guanglu Temple found the sixth aunt.

After the sixth aunt got old, the current empress, the Sun family, had ascended to the throne, and the sixth aunt was consummated, and she was deeply loved and grateful by the Qing family of Guanglu Temple.The Sun family asked the emperor to release the sixth aunt from the palace, and the Qing family of Guanglu Temple took the sixth aunt to their own home, and let the sixth aunt live in the Qing family of Guanglu Temple.

What Zhang knows is that the sixth aunt is not idle at her cousin Guanglu Siqing's house, she is usually by the eldest wife Lu's side to help Lu with internal and external affairs.Since Mrs. Sun holds an important position as a queen in the palace, there are often things that need to be coordinated internally and externally. The burden on Lu's body is not light. Without the support of the sixth aunt, she would not know how to do some things.

Sixth Aunt is also getting old. Considering that she was the nurturing aunt of Empress Sun before she entered the palace, it can be calculated that she is more than fifty or sixty years old.

Seeing that Aunt Six was standing at the door of her house, Mrs. Zhang reprimanded the housekeeper: "How do you do it? How old is Aunt Six? Do you let someone stand?"
