Xue Mei had dinner in the second room.

The second uncle, Xue Qing and Xue Huai brothers were all back, and the whole family sat around, small and warm.

The maid Ruhua was clothed with vegetables next to her and changed into coarse clothes. She was not like wearing red materials when she was in the Marquis' Mansion, but her face was more energetic and her eyes were brighter.

When the second aunt saw Xue Mei looking at Ruhua, she waited for Ruhua to retreat and said, "She is no longer a maid now. She got married half a month ago."

Xue Mei was a little surprised.

"...When I married Lin Tian, ​​I was the aide who followed your second uncle in and out." Second aunt said with a smile.

Lin Tian is a distant relative of the second aunt's house. His parents died at the age of thirteen and came from afar.

Because of his weak blood relationship, he couldn't think of himself as his nephew, so he just wanted to be a servant in the Marquis's Mansion.

His father studied and taught him some words. At that time, he was the servant of the second master.

Now that the second master has an official position, the servants around him cannot have any luck, but the aides can be recommended as officials.

"Aiden" has a good reputation, but in fact, she is a slave who brings her own food and grass, and is not as good as a servant.

The servant paid a few months.

Those who are staff members always value their masters as being able to "recommend" to be officials. Without the imperial examination system, if you want to be an official, you have to take various ways and being a staff member is very new.

Lin Tian recognized his calligraphy and practiced his fists and feet with the second master, and he had some skills.

The second master asked him to be an aide, not a servant, not to deduct his monthly money, but to plan to support him in the future.

Ruhua and him have been familiar with each other since childhood. Both of them are nineteen years old this year and have been in love for many years.

Lin Tian and Ruhua were willing to do so, so the second wife made the decision and got married for them.

"That's pretty good." Xue Mei smiled, then reached into the cuff, and it seemed to be from the sleeve bag, but it was actually the space, and took out an eight-two-pound gold bracelet.

She shouted Ruhua to come in, "This one will add a box to you."

Rubi dare not collect it.

The second wife smiled and said, "Please accept it, this is the county lord's love for you."

Ruhua then took it and kowtowed to Xue Mei three times.

After dinner, the maids removed the dining table and served hot tea, and Xue Mei talked about her plans.

"...I came up with this business, and I was embarrassed to ask Prince Ancheng for more, so I had to make a profit from the rest of my family.

The second brother is the son of the minister and is not very glorious when he becomes a retainer of the county prince's mansion. However, the little prince is unwilling to be said to be friends with officials, so this matter can be kept confidential.

There are thirty taels of silver every month, and there are rewards during festivals. If the transaction is good, it may be unknown if there is a stock to take. So, I want my second brother to go." Xue Mei said.

The second brother is very excited.

A red tide floated on his white and fat face: "Mi'er, don't worry, I can do it well. Isn't it easy to do business and manage accounts?"

"You can't be rash. If you make a mistake, it will not only delay the prince's business, but also cause trouble for your sister." Uncle Er said.

I really agree with this matter when I heard my second uncle's tone.

Just as Xue Mei guessed, the second uncle did not dare to make small moves for the time being and arranged his son out; even if others wanted to show goodwill, he would have to worry about it.

The younger son is not yet adult, so he can slow down; the older son is idle all day long at home and is abandoned.

Besides, the second house is really short of money.

Since you have a good job that can make money and make friends with the prince, why not do it?

Being the aide to Prince Ancheng, did he even feel wronged Xue Qing?

"You don't dislike me, then I'll come here tomorrow and take my second brother to see the prince." Xue Mei said.

Xue Qing was overjoyed and stood up and bowed to Xue Mei: "Mei'er, thank you brother!"

After dinner in the second room, Xue Qing and Xue Huai brothers personally sent Xue Mei back to their home.

It was very inappropriate for the woman to get up and not return home, so Xue Mei went to Xiyuan.

Xue Chi came out and stood in the shadow under the eaves of the corner gate, with an unpredictable expression.

Xue Qing and Xue Huai greeted him: "Brother."

Xue Chi just nodded: "It's very late, don't invite you to come in and sit down, so you all go back."

The two brothers in the second house say yes.

Xue Mei entered the corner gate.

Xue Chi turned around and closed the door, leaving a side face under the thin moonlight.

His nose bridge is high and his jaw is neatly curved, making him look particularly handsome.

The second young master Xue Qing happened to see it and his steps were slightly paused.

After getting on the carriage, the second young master was a little stunning.

Xue Huai pushed him: "Brother, what do you think?"

"I miss my elder brother." The second young master said truthfully.

Xue Huai was puzzled: "What's wrong with brother?"

"I remember when I was seven or eight years old, my elder brother took us to dig out the bird eggs from the back garden and fell from the tree, and the nose bridge was broken." said the second young master.

Xue Huai took a deep breath: "That hurts so much. I didn't expect that my elder brother was so naughty when he was a child."

When my elder brother was seven or eight years old, he was not as good as Xue Huai.

"Brother has been active since he was a child and his skin was dark." said the second young master. "Later, the bridge of his nose was two months old. His nose was a little taller than others, a bit like his uncle. After he broke it, it always seemed like a piece of concave in the middle."

Xue Huai listened, and didn't understand, so: "What?"

"I just saw my elder brother, his nose is good." said the second young master, "Besides, his skin is very white."

"It's white." Xue Huai said, "You don't look at how many years he hasn't gone out. If you cover yourself like this, you're white. How can you see clearly at night? His nose may not be good."

The second young master smiled and said, "I'll just say it casually."

Xue Mei returned to Huiningyuan, washed and changed her clothes and lay down.

But her mind was very uneasy.

On the side of my second uncle, Xiao Jingcheng suddenly jumped onto the wall and left her. What happened?

"It must be the Rui Palace, a good or a bad thing?" Xue Mei thought.

She couldn't guess it thoroughly.

She definitely can't get into the Rui Prince's Mansion.

Prince Ancheng is not concerned about the details and is engaged in business and competing for profit with the people, so he is willing to make friends with all kinds of religions and all kinds of people, but a real high-ranking family is unwilling to interact with the down-and-out households.

Xue Mei thought that in the past, Xiao Jingcheng, not to mention the down-and-out households, would not take it seriously even if he was a powerful government official.

His mansion has many secret guards and strict access controls.

"A Chou, come back soon." Xue Mei muttered, "It's so late, what can you do with a cat?"

Although she was very worried about Xiao Jingcheng, she also knew that his cat was flexible and would not be easily caught. Even if she was caught, who would care whether a cat was eavesdropping?

I definitely won't do anything about cats.

Xue Mei slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the sun shone into the window frame, but it was still not warm enough.

The maid combs Xue Mei's hair.

"Is A Chou back?" Xue Mei asked suddenly.

Cai Yuan also glanced around: "No, Miss."

Ah Chou did not return overnight several times, or even a few days later. The eldest lady said it was okay, but Ah Chou appeared again a few days later.

Now that it is not here, no one will make a fuss.

Xue Mei frowned.

"I'm still here yesterday, have you gone out to play?" Cai Yuan continued to comb Xue Mei's hair, "Miss, don't worry."

Xue Meidao is good.

She had breakfast, went to the second room and took her second brother Xue Qing to meet Prince Ancheng.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped outside the door of the Prince Ancheng Palace.
