Early the next morning, Shuyao showed Shujie the two books and the fish-shaped jade pendant, but carefully tore off the two pages that mentioned her mother's rebirth. Although her eldest brother was the person she trusted and relied on the most, rebirth was not something she could do.

It's so weird, it's better not to let big brother know unless absolutely necessary.

Shujie was also shocked after seeing it, and asked Shuyao to put it away: "Now our tofu business is enough for daily expenses, as well as the income from Zhuangzi. Let's not use these things from my mother first, so as not to make the tree big and attract wind. Our family doesn't have enough now.

The ability to protect yourself. In addition, it is not appropriate to do business with too much fanfare during the period of mourning."

Shuyao nodded and put the things into the flat box and put them away.

Shujie thought about it and then confessed: "Yao'er, don't let it slip that my mother is not your grandmother's daughter. I don't know what happened to my biological parents. This matter cannot be made public." Shujie is worried that the Zhen family will cause trouble again.

If Shu Yao is too angry to tell the truth, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Moreover, no matter what, the Zhen family always has the kindness to raise Zhen Zirou. As for them sending Zhen Zirou away for their own benefit, in fact, many biological parents of women will do this. Although it is despising, they

As the younger generation, the three brothers and sisters will give a false impression to others if they speak carelessly, and it will also damage the reputation of their mother, Zhen Zirou.

Shuyao obediently agreed. She was not a real six-year-old girl, but the soul of an adult who had gone through many hardships. She still knew the seriousness of this matter.

Shuyao and Nian'er had made an appointment to go out together today. Nian'er wanted to prepare a birthday gift for her father. Shuyao was her best friend, so she wanted to ask Shuyao to help her choose it together.

Because they were still young and in this small county town, the two of them did not need to wear hats. They talked in low voices about the things they saw while walking, and they were very happy. Mother Liu, Er Niu, Nian'er's nanny Zhang Mother, and personal maid Shui Ling

He followed behind with a smile.

Because Yulin Town is a transportation hub and business gathering place between the north and south, you can buy specialty goods from all over the north and south in some large stores in Yulin. The jade shop "Lanyue Xuan" that Shuyao and Nian'er were going to was one of them.

"Lanyue Xuan" specializes in all kinds of high-end jade jewelry. It has a large store in Yulin and a large store in Beijing. Buyers from jade jewelry stores from all over the country often come here to buy in bulk. Of course, the price of buying in bulk is different from that of buying a single piece.

of.

"Lanyue Xuan" has two floors. The first floor is mainly for jade jewelry, and the second floor is for large and small ornaments.

Shu Yao and others went up to the second floor, and Nian'er noticed a small sapphire screen stand at a glance, which was just the right size to be placed on the end of an inkstone to protect it from wind and dust. The stand was made of sapphire, with wind-winding bamboo engraved on it, and a few words.

"Tranquility reaches far away", extremely elegant.

Nian'er has been learning embroidery for three or four years, and recently received the guidance of Mother Liu. She is very confident and is ready to embroider a screen with her own hands.

The two little girls were talking enthusiastically about what kind of patterns to embroider on the screen. Suddenly, the screen frame in Nian'er's hand was snatched away by someone. The movement was too fast and unexpected. What happened suddenly, even the people on the side...

Neither the maids nor the mothers had time to stop it.

Shuyao and Shuyao were startled, and when they looked back, standing behind them was a little girl in red who was about the same age as Nian'er, with a face full of arrogance: "Man, I've taken a fancy to this screen stand, give it to me.

Wrap it up.”

"I'm sorry, girl, the two girls were the first to like this screen frame. Girls, it's better to choose another one. We have many exquisite products in Lanyue Xuan. I can also recommend it to you." The clerk recognized Xu Nian'er.

Yes, I knew that she was the beloved daughter of Mr. Xu, Zhongshu Ling. Mrs. Xu often visited "Lan Yuexuan" and could really be called a regular customer here.

Moreover, Lan Yuexuan also has his own strong background. Apart from members of the royal family, he does not need to deliberately flatter anyone, but reputation is very important.

The girl in red glared: "They liked it, but they didn't pay any money. Now that the thing is in my hands, it belongs to me, Jinwu, I paid you money."

One of the two maids standing next to the girl in red looked at Shuyao and Nian'er apologetically, and took out her purse: "Man, how much money is it?"

The clerk took the jade screen stand and said, "Girl, please choose another one. The rules of our store are fair and reasonable. Every customer must be treated equally. Unless these two girls agree to give it to you, this screen stand will be theirs."

"You..." the girl in red said angrily, "Do you know who I am? My grandfather was the Minister of Imperial Education, and my cousin was the emperor's favorite concubine."

Hearing this, Shu Yao looked carefully and saw that it was indeed Ding Mei'er. Six years later, she was drafted into the palace and she quickly doted on the queen. She had been in the spotlight for seven or eight years. It was said that the emperor loved her most for her cuteness and beauty.

.

After such a long time, Shuyao almost didn't recognize her.

Ding Meier has been as beautiful as a flower since she was a child, and her seductive eyes captured the hearts of countless young masters from aristocratic families at a young age. However, Shuyao knew that Ding Meier looked down on those aristocratic families. Her goal since childhood was to enter the palace, and Ding

The elders of the mansion have always pinned their hopes of revitalizing the family on this extremely beautiful daughter.

Ding Mei'er is four years older than her, and like Nian'er this year, she is ten years old.

Counting the time, she must have passed through here when she entered Beijing this time, right? Ding Meier grew up in Kacheng, a city in the southwest. She came to Beijing when she was ten years old and began to receive various coaching and training to prepare for the draft. I heard that Ding Meier is a

There are six teaching mothers with different skills. They not only have to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette and scheming, but also special skills such as "fascination". A pout or a glare can make a man lose half of his body.

Ding Meier is the grand-niece of the old lady Ding of the Murong Mansion and the niece of the eldest lady Ding. She often lived in the Murong Mansion in Beijing. In her previous life, Ding Meier was very fond of Murong Yao (Shu Yao), the "eldest lady" of the Murong Mansion.

She was extremely mocking and teasing. Therefore, when Shuyao later heard that Concubine Yan was "coquettish and naive", she felt sick to her stomach.

Ding Meier's nature is not only arrogant and ruthless, but also extremely vindictive. In Shuyao's previous life, she overheard the two ladies chatting at a party at Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. In order to take revenge on a lady whom she hated when she was a child, Concubine Yan not only used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to

She asked the lady's husband to divorce her, and even tricked her into selling her to a brothel.

However, this incident became an inducement, and a series of "evil deeds" were uncovered by the deliberately hostile faction, which eventually led to the destruction of Ding Meier and the entire Ding family.
