She put away her pity for her master in her heart, responded solemnly, and then withdrew.

Lin Yutong smiled inwardly. This girl entered the house alone. Based on her age, it only took her four years. In four years, she became the third-class girl in the girl's yard. She could also talk to important places such as the kitchen, which proved that she was not a girl in her heart.

It doesn't work out. Let's try it out first.

When I woke up after a long sleep, the room already looked different.

Sanxi chose three girls, all of whom were fourteen or fifteen years old. The short, fat one with freckles on her face was called Man Yue, the tall and thin one who looked like a bamboo pole was called Guifang, and Xiangli had a black mark on the corner of her mouth.

mole.

Lin Yutong saw the uneasy look on Sanxi's face and knew why. These three girls were at a disadvantage because of their looks. Those who were served by the master must at least be decent. But these three girls' shortcomings were too obvious.

Sanxi lowered her head and said: "Girl, Man Yue is literate. She can do accounting and keep a book. Her father used to be an accountant. Guifang's embroidery skills are rare in this house. There are few girls who can match her. Her mother is an embroiderer. I'm afraid

She suffered a bad eye in the embroidery room, so I didn't ask her to follow her. She did all the needlework in our yard. She is good at the fragrant pear stove. There used to be a Sang mother in the old lady's yard, who was her godmother."

Lin Yutong knew clearly that this person was just leaving the house. Her godmother was no longer in the house, so she was sent out. The old lady's yard jobs were fat jobs, and some were robbed. "Okay, let's do this. You guys divide the jobs,

Everyone should perform their duties. If nothing else happens, this job will remain the same. You have to follow me... We will both suffer and gain glory."

"Yes!" The four of them saluted in unison and responded.

None of them were familiar with this second girl, but it looked like she was definitely not someone who couldn't be helped.

After settling things around him for the time being, Lin Yutong was thinking about how to find the Fourth Master.

Jinguo Gongfu.

The fourth master was also leaning on the bed at this moment, holding the medicine bowl in his hand. He gently smelled the medicine and felt that it was right for the disease, so he drank it in one gulp.

"Master, today is a happy day, and there are many people in front of us." Guixi took the medicine bowl from the fourth master's hand, "If you feel better, why don't we go to the front for a walk?"

The fourth master was also a little unsure whether the young lady from the Qi family was Tongtong. It should be said that she was, as the two of them had never been in any other situation before. He felt that he should be given this honor.

So he nodded, "Then help me up. It would be rude not to show up."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted up the quilt and was about to get out of bed, footsteps were heard outside the door. Guiwu opened the door and walked in with a strange look on his face: "Young Master, the prince wants to make a decision on your behalf."

replace him?

The fourth master raised his brows and sat down immediately. This matter has been decided by the elders and cannot be changed. He glanced at Gui Wu and said, "Follow the prince and watch carefully. If you see anything, come back and tell me the truth."

I. Pay more attention, watch more and listen more, and talk less."

Guiwu quickly responded. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he quickly retreated.

But the fourth master sat down at the desk and thought about the meaning of the family. In his opinion, it made no sense for his family to get married to the Qi family. It was said to be a happy occasion, but he knew that this figure was not as good as he imagined.

Oops.

The mansion is said to be the Duke's Palace, but in fact it can be regarded as a royal family. In the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family's surname is Jin. The ancestor of their branch is the son of the Taizu of the Kaiguo, and he was also granted the title of prince at that time. It has been passed down from generation to generation.

After coming down, the title was lowered again and again, and now it has reached the position of the Duke. The Duke, who is also the father of this body, is now in charge of the errands of the commander of the inner guard, which means that he is a close associate of the emperor.

In such a family that wants power and status, even if the son of the family is a concubine, it is only reasonable that the marriage should be found among the legitimate daughters of third- and fourth-rank officials.

He sat down and started grinding. He had to sort out these intricate relationships first.

Weiyuan Bo Mansion.

In the main room of Jinxiu Courtyard, Lin Yuzhi looked at the mirror, put a butterfly hairpin on his head, turned his head left and right, looked at the mirror again and again, and asked Chunmei, who was holding the jewelry box behind him: "How is it?"

"The styles in the south look novel." Chunmei closed the box and whispered, "Young lady has chosen, I will send the box back to my aunt."

Lin Yuzhi turned around and glared: "What should I give you? Leave it in the house. It's originally my thing. I'll keep it by myself from now on, so I won't bother my aunt. I'll only give this thing to you, and you can keep the key yourself. It's missing.

What, I only want it from you."

Chunmei's heart suddenly dropped to the ground, "Girl, please spare me."

"Come on!" Lin Yuzhi snorted softly, "Okay, put it next to my pillow. If my aunt wants to ask, I will have something to say." After that, he whispered: "I asked you to send someone to trip up the crispy fruit.

How's it going?"

Kuiguo is my cousin's maid. Today is a good day for my cousin, but my own girl just wants to trip up someone else's personal maid. There is no reason at all.

Chunmei whispered: "The snacks she ate today are made from croton boiled water and noodles. They must have diarrhea."

"Have you dealt with everything from beginning to end?" Lin Yuzhi's eyes flashed with a hint of urgency.

Chunmei nodded: "I did it myself and didn't disturb anyone else."

Lin Yuzhi nodded, "That's good! That's good!" Without this girl, I don't see how you two adulterers would meet.

Jin Shouren, I will never take advantage of you in this life.

Jin Shouren who was riding on the horse sneezed hard, and his attendant Shuangshou, who was running behind the horse, asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, have you caught a cold?"

Jin Shouren shook his head: "No problem!" It was just an itchy nose, and the people who served him were used to making a fuss.

Many people gathered on both sides of the road to watch the fun.

"Is the eldest son of Duke Jin's family engaged?"

"No! The one who got engaged is the Fourth Young Master."

"Yes, yes! The fourth young master is not in good health. I think he is a brother..."

"This really gives face to the Qi family and Uncle Weiyuan's family..."

"But this elder brother hasn't got engaged yet, so how come this younger brother got there first?"

"I'm afraid that the fourth young master is really in bad health."

The chatter and a few words always blew into Jin Shouren's ears, making him a little more irritable. Shuangshou glanced at Guiwu vaguely. When the young master heard this, he didn't know what to think.

?

When he arrived at the door of Uncle Weiyuan's Mansion, he saw Lin Changgen standing at the door to greet him from a distance. He put a warm smile on his face and jumped off his horse neatly.

Lin Changgen welcomed Jin Shouren in with joy on his face, and exchanged polite words with each other.

"You should go and greet the old woman first." Jin Shouren insisted.

There was no reason for Lin Changgen to stop him. He was pretending to be a junior, so he had to carry on properly. It gave him face, so he had to keep it.

He told the housekeeper Lin Fu: "Go and tell the old lady that the prince is coming to say hello."

In the Ronggui Hall, there was laughter and laughter at this time. No matter what I thought in my heart, since this marriage has been decided, I can only think about the good things. The old lady's hair is a little gray, but her face is rosy, and she is obviously very healthy.

At this moment, she was holding a fifteen-year-old girl in her arms. She saw that the girl was wearing a bright red dress with gold trim, and her face was flushed. The old lady rubbed the little girl's back, "...the child of this big family is raised by

You are a little more squeamish. Let’s not talk about the Duke’s mansion, but our family. What can’t you eat like ginseng, deer antler, and bird’s nest? Just take good care of it. You are a lucky child. Maybe you will get married in the future, and my uncle’s health will also be better.

.”

Qi Duoer nodded: "I know what's good, grandma."

"Your mother and your aunt are waiting in front of the guests. You can also go out to see us later." The old lady whispered, "They are all watching, so don't show any dislike on your face. Who would really say that?"

Whew, a few words have spread over there, but it's a bad thing. Although the fourth young master is a concubine, he was raised by his aunt and pampered. Regardless of what people think in their hearts, they are always unhappy on their faces.

You will have to live there in the future, and you have to be aware of this."

The old lady taught me earnestly and sincerely.

The grandfather and grandson were talking, and the door curtain was raised, and Lin Fanghua walked in at the head of the room, "Mother, the prince wants to pay his respects to you."

The old lady gave Lin Fanghua an angry look, "How old are you, and you are still so reckless?" Furthermore, seeing the curtain move, Yun walked in, "Mom, hurry up and tell Duo'er to get out of the way."

Qi Duoer quickly stood up and smiled at Yun, "I know, Auntie!" After saying that, she got up and went behind the screen.

When she heard the footsteps, she couldn't help but look out through the gap in the screen. She saw the young master wearing a crimson brocade robe walking in. In an instant, the room seemed to light up.

When she was at home, she always felt that her brothers at home were already outstanding. Now when she met this young master, she realized what it means to be someone outside the world, and there is a world outside the world.

Her heart beat uncontrollably, all the blood rushed to her face, and she felt her whole body was getting hot. She raised her hands to cover her chest, and then raised her eyes to look over, but she didn't want to meet his eyes.

Jin Shouren immediately looked away, knowing that this was the girl he was looking at. He was still wondering, didn't the Lin family and Qi family know that he was here to replace the fourth child? It was just that the little girl was curious, so he didn't care and stayed with the old lady of the Lin family.

A few polite words, just a common way to ask the old lady at home if she is okay and in good health.

He came here to show his attitude and didn't stay much. He stood up and left, intending to follow Lin Changgen outside.

Seeing him stand up to say goodbye, Qi Duoer felt flustered for some reason. She couldn't help but clenched her fists and thought to herself, if only he could look at me. Then, as if her hands were not obeying her, she pushed.

screen.

With a "clang", the screen tilted and fell to the ground instantly. Lin Duoer didn't know how she could do such a thing, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

Everyone in the room was startled and couldn't help but look over.

Jin Shouren raised his head in astonishment and looked at the helpless and hesitant girl like a frightened rabbit. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, as if they would fall down the next moment. Such an expression always made people want to pity her.

. She was petite, exquisite and graceful, and her eyes looked towards him with millions of emotions. But as soon as his eyes met hers, she immediately dodged like a frightened deer.

This is a rare beauty that makes people feel stunning and pitiful at the same time.

The fourth child is very lucky.

Seeing her mother-in-law's embarrassed face, Mrs. Yun suddenly felt a little happy. Such a frivolous thing, she praised it like a lot of flowers. She couldn't move when she saw the man. She knew clearly that he was the uncle, but she still dared to do this. It's really

Shameless. Thinking like this, she couldn't help but look at her sister-in-law Lin Fanghua. She didn't like this or that. She said to herself, although the second girl looks better, there is nothing pretentious about her appearance.
