On the other side of the Jiuqu Corridor, Mrs. Pan bowed slightly and looked with concern at Mrs. Shi who was surrounded by a group of young ladies.
"This child is really rare." Mrs. Fu stood next to Mrs. Pan Er, looked at Mrs. Shi from a distance, and sighed.
"Look, what a good child, but the prince... alas!" Mrs. Pan Er patted her chest.
Her heart ached.
"This is fate. Fortunately, this child is willing to let go. As long as he wants to let go, this child is so good that anyone he marries can live a good life. You should also be more open-minded." Mrs. Fu advised.
"I am heartless. Her aunt Qian'er wrote to me, saying that if there is a suitable person in Pingjiang Prefecture, she asked me to ask Sister Qi, saying that Jiangnan is a good place, and asked me to ask you to pay attention.
Second, look at it!" Mrs. Pan Er became troubled again.
"It's indeed quite difficult." Mrs. Fu sighed as she thought about Mrs. Shi's age.
Nowadays, it is really not easy to find a match with someone of similar age, similar family background, and similar character.
"Sometimes, I feel quite resentful. You said he wanted to cancel the engagement, but you should have done so earlier. Even if you had done so a year or two earlier, you did it so late! Last time, in front of the prince.
, I said it once, this is simply a deliberate attempt to deceive our eldest sister!" Mrs. Pan Er said angrily.
"What did the Crown Prince say?" Mrs. Fu asked.
"He didn't say anything, he just laughed and said it was all his fault."
"He knows he's not, but it's of no use." Mrs. Fu said something for Mrs. Pan Er, and then said with a smile: "Fortunately, Sister Qi thought about it, this is better than anything else."
"Yes." Mrs. Pan looked at Mrs. Shi from a distance and sighed again.
No matter what you think about it, her marriage is still difficult no matter how difficult it is!

Awu sat in the doorman's room and watched the excitement. Not long after, it was the time when Awu was on duty.
Awu's place of duty was halfway up a rockery, and the manager's instructions were only four words: stand and watch, and someone will naturally take over when the time comes.
A Wu felt that her job was the palace ladies mentioned by Sister Mei, which had no practical use. The palace ladies stood on the stage to show the size of the opera troupe, and she stood here to show the grandeur of the palace.
She has a really good view from this position, and she has a panoramic view of the entire banquet scene.
The place where the banquet was given was in front of a five-bay hall, with a high pergola set up. Coming down from the steps of the main hall, there were four rows of tables and chairs on both sides, with low tables and chairs, one table for every two people.
Awu looked carefully at the food placed on the table.
Why does the big plate in the middle look more and more like the big cakes from their hometown?
It’s definitely not a big cake. How could a royal palace banquet serve a big cake!
It’s not a pie, what is it?
Forget it, let’s forget about it for now. The next plate, this one is clearly a large piece of pork belly, and the other one is cabbage?
Is this what we eat at the royal palace banquet?
Ah Wu lost all his appetite after watching it.
No wonder A-nan categorically said she wouldn’t come.
Ah Wu was looking bored. On both sides of the steps of the main hall, a burst of drum music sounded, and the officials who were sitting upright stood up with cheers.
Ah Wu suddenly became energetic.
The prince is coming!
When the sound of drum music started to rise, the prince walked out of the hall.
Ah Wu held his breath, widened his eyes, and looked at the prince carefully.
He is young, tall, neither fat nor thin, and quite good-looking. However, he is still a bit inferior to the prince, and he looks quite kind.
Awu looked at the prince carefully and then looked behind him.
Behind the Crown Prince were two people, one in his thirties, one on the left and one on the right. Standing there, he looked as stable as a mountain. He was quite good-looking, but still not as good as the Crown Prince.
Here... Hey! It's not the Crown Prince! Who is this? He's too young and pretty good-looking. Hey, where is the Crown Prince?
Ah Wu didn't dare to turn his head and look recklessly. He turned his neck slightly and rolled his eyes hard to look around, but he didn't see the prince.
Strange, where has the prince gone?

Around early noon, the soldiers who had blocked the streets in Linhai Town began to line up in groups and ran to the dock one after another.
The shops on both sides of the street were separated by cracks in doors and windows. Watching the soldiers retreat, they tentatively opened the doors a crack, then opened them again, and looked out.
At a glance, the street is full of heads and half-bodies leaning out to look around.
The caravans that had been blocked outside the town poured in, and the shops quickly closed the door panels and opened for business while giving orders to the waiters or running out to inquire.
What the hell is going on?
Wu Miaozhen, who was sitting in the wing of the Zou family, heard her mother-in-law say that the soldiers on the street had been withdrawn. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the gang leaders to come over immediately.
She got the letter in the middle of the night that the inspection was going to be carried out in the morning. Before the inspection arrived, she had carefully thought out how to proceed step by step.
From the Third to the Seventh Master, they were all taken away and interrogated by the Crown Prince’s people. This was an opportunity specially given to her by the Crown Prince.

His hands were tied in front of the cart, and his head was covered with a black cloth. He was among the people from the Jiangnan Silk Headquarters. He was pushed out by the soldiers, caught up with the cart, pushed out of the cart, and imprisoned one by one.<
/p>
Not long after, someone pulled me out by the arm in front of the bullock cart, untied the rope, and pulled off the black cloth hood.
"I'm sorry, sir." Shi Gun smiled and rushed to the oxcart and cupped his hands.
"Nothing, dare not dare." There was still a little stubborn in front of the ox cart, and hurriedly paid back.
"The prince asked me to tell my husband that I feel wronged for him and my husband. My husband felt wronged, and this is what I really want." Shi Gun smiled and handed over his hand again.
"Don't dare." In front of the bullock cart, he blinked hard several times to adapt to the bright sunshine.
"Sir, please come with me. The prince has ordered that he be sent back to his hometown to recuperate for a few days. The prince said that after he has finished this important matter, he will discuss with him his future whereabouts." Shi Gun said, supporting him.
In front of the bullock cart, he was pushed onto a Paulownia cart.

Gu Yan stood in front of the gate of the Customs and Excise Department, looking at the people from the Silk Department of the Customs and Excise Department who were all covered in black cloth and being escorted away, as well as boxes of account books and other items, lined up with people and boxes, and escorted in
A large barracks has just been built.
"Can you pass the trial?" Gu Yan looked back at Huang Xianzhou.
Huang Xianzhou's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were extremely bright. He held his breath and nodded: "I think I can do it."
"Well, then I'll leave it to you. Don't worry, we must investigate and find out!" Gu Yan was in a very good mood.
"Yes!" Huang Xianzhou bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, He Chengze came to see you and said that there is something extremely important that must be reported in person." Wang Gui trotted over and handed over his hand to report.
Gu Yan frowned slightly, and for a moment, he hummed.
