Chu Jinyao was not surprised when she heard these words, but she was curious, why did Miss Six remind her

Thinking like this, Chu Jinyao asked, "Why did you remind me? If I was plotted against you, wouldn't it be good for you?"

When the sixth girl heard this, she opened her mouth in astonishment, as if surprised: "Fifth sister, what do you mean? How could I do this!"

"Oh?"

The sixth girl took a long sigh and said, "I really didn't expect that fifth sister, you think of me like this. We are sisters in the same house. We are both prosperous and the other is damaged. Your reputation is affected, and I can still get it. What's more, we agreed to form an alliance before. Although you don't think of me as an ally in your heart, I really consider it for you. There are already two companions, and you won't hinder me when you get elected. On the contrary, the two of us can still Help each other. Fifth sister, you should know the reason why a pair of chopsticks can't be folded, right? If you suspect me, I have nothing to say, but if people take advantage of this, it doesn't matter if I lose the election, fifth sister, you have half a foot. Those who have stood firm, don't cry secretly behind."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I didn't want to say anything, I just wanted to remind you." Sixth girl said, "I saw the fourth and third sisters meet secretly a few days ago, and they were sneaky. I don't know what they want to do. I can only remind you in advance, Hope is my villain's heart, this reminder is not the best."

Chu Jinyao remembered what Miss Six had said to her a long time ago, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you really planning to form an alliance with me?"

"Naturally." Sixth girl smiled, "How can I fight against them both by myself? In desperation, I can only ask Fifth Sister for help. Now is the time, your position as a companion has been stabilized by half, as long as you guard against it today. As long as the two of them are making trouble, your affairs will be finalized. At that time, little sister, I will rely on the fifth sister to say a good word for me in front of the princess and the old princess. Isn't it good that we can benefit each other? When I enter the palace in the future, We can also help each other, can't we trust it more than others?"

It is too early to say that there is no profit. If the sixth girl just said that she wanted to help Chu Jinyao sincerely, Chu Jinyao would definitely not believe it. Now she pulls out her own purpose and wants Chu Jinyao to pull herself after the incident. After clarifying what they want, there is some mutual benefit.

Chu Jinyao didn't say anything at the moment, and nodded with a smile: "Sixth sister treats people with sincerity, and I am moved. Don't worry, what you said before is naturally accurate."

Seeing Chu Jinyao talking, the sixth girl held Chu Jinyao's hand overjoyedly, and said, "This is great! Fifth sister, don't worry, you just have to go to the banquet today, and I will keep an eye on the other two in the dark. As long as they have any unusual movements, I will ask the maid to remind you immediately."

"What's so funny..."

"It doesn't matter." Six girls patted Chu Jinyao's hand and smiled, "Now you are in the light, and they are in the dark. If you show signs of doubt, they will be alert immediately, and it will be bad to startle the snake by then. Why don't you walk in the bright place and numb your eyes, let the fourth and third sisters think we don't know anything, while I quietly stare at the back, and once they show their clues, I will immediately remind you. If we cooperate well, say Maybe they will be able to turn against the army and let them both shoot themselves in the foot and suffer the consequences!"

What she said really made sense. Chu Jinyao looked at Sixth Girl with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, just follow what Sixth Girl said."

After hearing this, Miss Six happily sat back in her seat and said, "The journey is still far away. Today is a tough battle. Fifth Sister, please rest for a while, and I won't bother you anymore."

Chu Jinyao closed his eyes, keeping his back straight, and closed his eyes as the carriage shook. With the light isolated, Chu Jinyao didn't have to worry about revealing her thoughts in her eyes, she let her thoughts fly with confidence.

Miss Liu's words were really provocative, and there was no trace of falsification in her expression. If it was Chu Jinyao from the past, maybe she would really love her.

But she met Qin Yi. After being baptized once by Qin Yi with his dark friendship methods, Chu Jinyao couldn't trust her allies anymore. Still counting money for each other.

Therefore, Chu Jinyao was skeptical of Miss Six's words, and it was impossible for Chu Jinyao to do such a thing as leaving her back to others to wake up. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Only you can truly trust yourself.

Chu Jinyao couldn't help thinking of what Qin Yi said at the beginning: "First respond for the time being, keep an eye on the other party's flaws in private, and finally keep it as a handle, so as not to be afraid of the other party's backlash."

Chu Jinyao thinks it makes sense, but now she is a little guilty.

She knows the reason, and she wants to do it too, but what if she doesn't get the Sixth Girl's handle...

Shaky, finally arrived at the palace of Huailing County. It was too cold to sit in one place for a long time, even burning charcoal was enough to suffer, Chu Jinyao got out of the car, and the breath he exhaled formed a white mist in the air. Using the cover of her skirt, she stomped her feet quietly.

Her feet were almost numb, but it was a matter of place.

The Zhao family led a group of girls inside. The Huailing Palace was very lively today. The princess of the county sent invitations to all the daughters of the appropriate age. Who wouldn't give the princess' face? From one to twenty, the ladies and ladies gathered together. In the hall, there was continuous laughter in the palace, the clothes were like clouds, and the fragrance was fragrant.

The maid reported the news of Changxing Hou's mansion, the chatter and laughter in the hall fell silent, and then the ladies smiled and stood up: "It's Mrs. Hou who is here."

Today, there are many Taiyuan officials' family members. There are only two nobles in Shanxi, one is the residence of the Prince of Huailing County, and the other is the residence of the Marquis of Changxing. Many of the people present were wives of civil officials, and most of them were friends with officials and officials of the same background. They did not have much contact with nobles such as Changxing Houfu, but even so, it did not prevent them from giving Changxing Hou three points of face.

After all, it is not the same to have a title of honor. Even if the Changxing Marquis Mansion has been passed down to the last generation, it is the Marquis in the end. The husbands and sons of the other wives mostly held positions of office, and the family also passed on poetry and books. Unlike the Marquis of Changxing, who followed the path of commanding soldiers and generals, most of the younger generations also took up posts in the army. It is said that the civil and military are not close friends, and these officials and wives do not have much contact with the Changxing Hou Mansion, but since they met in the palace today, there is no reason to neglect them.

The officials and wives stood up one after another and greeted Zhao with a smile. When Mr. Zhao entered the door, seeing so many people, he smiled and said, "It seems that I am late, there are already so many people sitting here!"

The ladies all laughed, someone stood up to give up their seat to Zhao, and Zhao quickly declined. Chu Jinyao was mixed in the crowd, her eyes swept slightly from the surrounding area, her heart was really hard to deal with, such a small warm pavilion, a total of more than 20 people were crowded, and there was still a place to sit.

Zhao shi made a gesture of resignation, and sat down half-push and half-situated in the princess's seat. Chu Jinyao and several girls stepped forward to salute the old princess and the princess, and the old princess called them up with a smile. Just standing upright, a crisp laughter sounded from the side: "Are these the daughters of the Hou residence?"

The person who spoke was an official lady wearing a cyan silver squirrel fur coat. She was not very old, and she was very good at joking when she looked at it. The old princess also liked this Mrs. Qiaozui very much, and continued with a smile: "It's them, and the Zhao family is lucky."

The lady's eyes slipped around the girls of the Chu family, and finally stopped on Chu Jinyao: "Who is this?"

Zhao replied, "This is my second daughter. Her name is Jinyao. She is rather naughty and made several ladies laugh."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Hou's own daughter." Another lady replied, "That means, the eldest lady who got married a few days ago is this girl's own sister?"

"It's them."

"Oh." Now the ladies shouted, "Look at these two daughters of Mrs. Hou, I really envy you! The eldest lady who got married two days ago was an eye-opener for me. There's one more hidden!"

Zhao Shi was flattered and smiled, she was modest: "You are all willing to praise her, but she is actually a skin monkey."

At this time, Chu Jinyao, the client, doesn't need to say anything, she just needs to maintain a shy and dignified smile and bow her head slightly. In fact, these are just scenes, no one will really take it seriously, Chu Jinmiao also knows this truth, what is more, she has heard a lot in the first thirteen years. Chu Jinmiao knew that it was enough to listen to these beautiful words, but even so, Chu Jinmiao could not restrain a surge of anger.

Chu Jinyao is stupid and vulgar, except for a face that has nothing to offer, such a person who is not as good as a vase, why take her things away? Are these ladies blind

Fourth Miss Chu is still so pretentious, because she looks dull, so she hates others to mention her appearance the most. She always felt that everyone should appreciate her talent, if not, then the other party has no eyes and no ink on the chest.

The space in the warm pavilion is really not big enough. The ladies are sitting here and talking about everyday things. It is not good for little girls like Chu Jinyao to stay and listen. Therefore, after paying respect to the old princess, Chu Jinyao went to the flower hall under the leadership of the maid. That's where the county lord entertains these boudoir girls.

There were also many people sitting in the flower hall. When the princess of the county made a post, the officials and wives were flattered, but also overjoyed in their own hearts. They will not forget that there are two sons in the palace, both of whom are not yet married. With this idea in mind, when they went out, they naturally brought all the girls of the right age in the family. As a result, there were more girls and ladies than the ladies who came to the palace as guests.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a warm fragrance on my face, and Chu Jinyao couldn't help but choke. The girls in the room were all smoked with strong spices. Now so many people's incense and fat powder are mixed together, and they are roasted by the heat wave. After a while, the taste was enough.

The arrival of Chu Jinyao and the others was like a pebble falling into the center of the lake, causing a splash of water, and soon returned to normal. The girls who have not left the cabinet have their own circles. They are guests at other people's houses, and they casually say a few words to the host's house, and then they all go to the handkerchiefs they know well. Although the flower hall is full of people now, but if you look closely, the girls are sitting in clusters, and it can be seen that each has its own place.

After all, the three girls, Chu Jinmiao, etc. grew up in the Hou Mansion, and accumulated a lot of contacts over the years. After greeting the county chief, they quickly walked towards their small group. And Chu Jinyao, who had just returned home for less than a year, was very passive at this time.

She was only brought back by the Marquis of Changxing at the end of the first month of this year. She was injured and fought again this year. It would be difficult for Chu Jinyao to go out, and where would she go to find a partner with similar interests? Chu Jinyao stood on the ground, a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the sixth girl came over quickly and said to Chu Jinyao, "Fifth sister, you can go there with me and sit there."

Chu Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, and of course agreed.

After the six girls sat down with Chu Jinyao, they chatted and laughed with the noble girl they knew, and took care of Chu Jinyao at the same time. These young ladies all know that Chu Jinyao is the wrongly held young lady in Changxing Hou's mansion. They didn't say anything, but in private, they were secretly looking at Chu Jinyao.

Beside the copper-mouthed incense burner with incense and curling incense, Chu Jinyao was wearing a white brocade jacket with a pair of fronts, and a red makeup flower skirt underneath. The splendid splendor piled on her body, but it should make people jealous, as if she was born to enjoy the richest things in this world. The sun hit her side face, reflecting her skin in a hazy warmth, as if plated with a layer of golden light, and her cheeks were snow-white, and the golden and white complemented each other, as if they could glow.

When Chu Jinyao was silent, she didn't even need to look for angles, she was already a fine-painted portrait of a lady.

The ladies talked and laughed as usual, but the corners of their eyes were sharp. These pampered and pampered young ladies have the most sensitive sense of smell, whoever steals the limelight at the banquet, what the details of this person are, can't escape their discernment.

Sure enough, Chu Jinyao was listening intently to the conversation between Miss Six and her handkerchief, when suddenly, a maid who was running errands was bumped, and the tea cups on the plate smashed to the ground. Chu Jinyao was caught off guard because she was sitting so close, and the corners of her skirt became wet immediately.

The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. At this time, the county owner heard the sound of broken porcelain and finally remembered her responsibility as the owner. The county chief stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Jinyao had already stood up, and Miss Liu and others were also startled, and quickly gathered around to see Chu Jinyao's condition. The sixth girl looked at the corners of Chu Jinyao's clothes and frowned, "The corners of the skirt are all wet, what should I do?"

The women next to her also gathered around to watch the fun, and they pointed at each other: "What's going on with these maids, a good dress, they were actually harmed by them."

The girl next to her immediately went to stab her companion, and the speaker saw that the county owner was coming, and immediately shut up.

The county owner was very embarrassed when he saw his maid do such a thing. She said, "It's just one skirt. It's not a big deal. Since this one can't be worn, you can go to the back for another one. It happens that I have a few skirts that I don't want to wear, so I'll give it to you."

Chu Jinyao shook his head: "No need. When I go to the banquet, I will bring another set of clothes, so I don't need to bother the county owner."

The county owner thought it was her best dress, and she might feel so distressed by being splashed with water. But in fact, even if Changxing Hou's Mansion is not as good as the Prince's Mansion, it will not make people look down on it, and Chu Jinyao himself does not take this horse-faced skirt in his eyes, even if it is a make-up flower that cannot be bought with money. satin. Chu Jinyao didn't show any distress, and said casually, "Everyone take a moment, I'll go and change into the back."

The daughters who were watching the excitement found that Chu Jinyao didn't feel hurt at all, and they all secretly slandered. This person has done a really good job on the surface. Don't look at her calm and calm now.

When the county owner heard that Chu Jinyao wanted to change her clothes, she really wanted to do so. She hated trouble the most. However, the county owner remembered the princess's instructions, and pretended to care a few words: "You just came to the palace, can you recognize the way? Do you need me to have someone take you to the dressing room?"

At this time, the servant girl who made trouble said, "County Lord, this servant has made a big mistake, so let the servant come to make up for the fault, and take Miss Chu Wu to change her clothes."

This method saves trouble! As soon as the county owner heard it, he agreed without thinking: "Okay, then you can take her there."

Chu Jinyao looked at the maid who led the way without expression, and said nothing, and set off to follow the maid out. After the two of them left, Sixth Girl's eyes focused on the girl who led the way, and suddenly, without warning, she turned to look at Chu Jinmiao.

Chu Jinmiao was taken aback, she quickly calmed down and looked directly head-on fearlessly. The sixth girl smiled inexplicably, and sat down in the same place again.

After a while, the six girls found a gap and walked outside the house. Linglong was just taken away, but as soon as she came back, Chu Jinyao was nowhere to be found. When Linglong saw Sixth Girl come out, it was like seeing a savior, so she hurried up and asked, "Liu Girl, where is our girl?"

"I was just about to tell you about this." Sixth girl frowned. "Just now, a little maid overturned the tea cup and sprinkled water on Fifth Sister's skirt. Fifth Sister is now being brought to the back to change. I don't feel safe at all in my heart, just as you are back, hurry up and take a look!"

Linglong responded quickly, and she asked eagerly, "Sixth girl, what kind of girl is the girl who took fifth girl away? What kind of clothes is she wearing? I can ask someone on the way."

The sixth girl thought for a while, and said deliberately: "It seems that she has combed her hair and wears an azurite skirt. I can't remember more."

Linglong responded with a sound, and ran to the back.

Chu Jinyao was led by the maid and turned left and right in the palace. The maid kept her head silent and just walked forward. She passed through a moon gate and suddenly found that the footsteps behind her had stopped.

The maid turned her head and asked inexplicably, "Five girls, didn't you say you want to change clothes, why didn't you leave?"

Chu Jinyao smiled, put her hand in the warm sleeve, and said leisurely, "I think you are going wrong."

The maid's face froze, and she forced a smile: "How could it be?"

Chu Jinyao snorted and said, "Even if I don't have a good sense of direction, I don't even recognize this kind of common sense. The place where women's family members change clothes should be in the inner house, so why are you leading me out?" After that, Chu Jinyao turned around and was about to go back. The maid looked at her and couldn't care less, and hurried up to grab Chu Jinyao's hand.

"Girl, you are mistaken, you should go this way!"

Chu Jinyao did not expect that all the maids in the palace were so bold. She simply refused to show face to the palace of Huailing County, and withdrew her hand forcefully, and said, "How dare you do it?"

The maid exerted most of her strength and pulled Chu Jinyao's arm hard. Just when she wanted to come, a pampered lady in the boudoir was blown down by a gust of wind. How strong can she be? However, he did not expect Chu Jinyao to become serious, his arms suddenly exerted force, and he actually dragged the maid and rushed forward for several steps.

The maid looked shocked, but Chu Jinyao still disliked it: "With your strength, you still want to force others to do bad things? It's a shame."

Chu Jinyao shook off the maid with force, turned her head and strode away.

The maid stood on the spot, rather in a dilemma. She watched Chu Jinyao leave, and wanted to go up and pull Chu Jinyao back, but she was not as strong as Chu Jinyao, so she couldn't help the other party at all. In the original plan, if Chu Jinyao was disobedient, she would be forcibly pulled away, but no one told the maid, what if she couldn't be pulled? Chu Jinyao's strength is like that of a boudoir lady, if it's real, it's hard to say who's dragging her.

The maid gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, slightly lifted her dark blue cloth skirt, and ran back quickly to ask the master for advice.

And Chu Jinyao got rid of her tail, and now she can't care about the wet skirt, she wants to go back to the banquet place immediately, or find a place with many people. Looking at today's scene, I am afraid that she will be targeted again. Now that there is no one around Chu Jinyao, and the yard is empty and empty, if something really happens, she is simply speechless.

Chu Jinyao desperately wanted to go back to the place of the banquet, but the more anxious she became, the more she could not do it. She circled around several times, and finally had to stop in frustration.

She got herself lost.

Well now, don't talk about herself, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes can't find her where she is.

On the high-rise building with the eaves and corners, a man in ochre red uniform stood in front of the window, his fingers tapped regularly on the edge of the window.

A servant in a green robe next to him also copied his hand, watching the girl in the white coat and red dress downstairs circling the yard. The north wind was blowing from the treetops, with a biting chill, the attendant shook his neck and couldn't help asking, "Master, what are you looking at?"

"I just want to see how long it takes for her to find her way out." The young man smiled lightly, "It seems that I overestimated, she couldn't find her way at all."

Xiao Linzi stretched out his head and looked at it. He really couldn't figure it out. His grandfather stood at the window and blew the cold wind for so long, just to see a girl identify her way in the garden

However, before Xiao Linzi finished muttering, he saw his grandfather's finger pointing to him. Delicate turquoise embellished his cuffs, lining his fingers long and well-proportioned: "You go out and send her outside."

Xiao Linzi widened his eyes in shock: "Master, are you talking about me?"

"Why, don't you want to go?"

"Don't dare." Xiao Linzi quickly lowered his head, hunched over and walked out. After turning around, he quietly raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Their grandfather is indeed a natural superior, and his emotions are unpredictable and unfathomable. After coming down from the battlefield, his temper has become more and more unpredictable.

After sending the people away, the young and tall boy leaned against the window, watching the girl downstairs ramming around like a headless fly, a smile unknowingly appeared on his lips: "How long has it been, the sense of direction is still there. That's bad."

The author has something to say: Small Theater:

Although I think I already understand it, I have to ask politely. Can you guess the mysterious man who appeared last? (ok after the cutscene, go home to a certain gold master to report the account)
