For a few days, although the eldest lady said that she had a body, she didn't need to ask the old lady for peace in the morning and dusk, but she still had to go once a day, not to mention that she had other thoughts, and it was inevitable to observe the old lady's reaction once a day.

However, the old lady's reaction was very strange to her.

It stands to reason that this time on a trip, the five girls did not go alone, except for the snow goose, all the other maid rings around her were brought. If their master is missing, the most normal reaction of these maids should be that the six gods have no master, panicked, and then 100,000 people rush to the capital to send a letter.

However, there is no news from these maids.

The eldest lady was puzzled, and sent a letter to her brother General Chen to confirm Gu Zhirong's death again, and then asked about the situation of the maids brought by Gu Zhirong.

Soon General Chen replied, saying that it was confirmed that Gu Zhirong was dead, and as for whether those maids were on the ship or not, it was impossible to find out.

Moreover, General Chen also told his sister that the news of Gu Zhirong's death was true, and this was the news from General Tong in Jicheng, and it was absolutely wrong.

The eldest lady's heart was completely relaxed.

The death of the five girls is already an ironclad thing, and sooner or later it will reach the capital, so she just waits slowly.

I'm afraid that in a few days, when it comes to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the girl has not returned, and the old lady will definitely not be able to sit still, and she will definitely send someone to inquire. After all, she is a serious lady in the mansion of the Marquis of Yuanning, different from the untouchables who are like grass mustard in the people. Ask and you'll get an answer right away.

The eldest lady thought to herself, the most important thing now is the birthday gift prepared by the second room on behalf of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion to the Queen Mother.

When I think of the proud appearance of the second room. The eldest lady hated it so much. took away her power to preside over the feed, causing her to lose both ends, and she must repay this hatred on the second room.

"Mother Cai, has the one we prepared in private been properly placed?"

In her own yard, after retiring everyone, the eldest lady couldn't help but ask.

Cai's mother really did it neatly: "Madam, please relax and have a good baby." Everything was arranged. The general had already sent the things over, and when they were delivered, it happened that the lady was resting. The slave didn't dare to alarm the lady, and cleaned it up by herself. The people sent by the general had already returned, and the slaves and maids had the courage to be the masters, and each of them sent fifty taels of silver......"

The eldest lady nodded and said, "You did a good job." You can't save any of this money. It's valuable. It's not easy to protect, and it's hard for my brother to send it so carefully......"

Seeing that the eldest lady relied so much on her general's brother, Cai's mother reminded: "Madam, it's not the slave who wants to divide the feelings between your brothers and sisters, General Chen, Madame can't be gullible......

The eldest lady waved her hand and interrupted Cai's mother's words: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I can see it." Big brother is preparing with both hands. Now on the surface, he is very close to King Shou. Secretly, he did not hesitate to spend his blood to plan for us, secretly supporting the prince, no matter what happens in the future, he will be a winner. ”

Mother Cai didn't expect the eldest lady to see it so clearly, and couldn't help but praise: "Madam is so powerful, she can even figure out the general's thoughts." So which side should Madame help next?"

The eldest lady snorted coldly: "At the beginning, Master Zhang of Shouwang's Mansion came to coerce me, told me all the things in my past, and made a big fuss about Brother Chun, saying that there will be opportunities for me to enjoy happiness in the future." Hmph!"

Speaking of this, the eldest lady said disdainfully: "That Master Zhang, who blew himself like a fairy, turned out to be blown up alive on the ship!

Cai's mother hurriedly echoed: "Yes, madam, this kind of person deserves to die, if you want us to help King Shou, isn't that sending Mrs. to the fire pit? Now the prince is the future lord, what is that King Shou, he is simply a coward, he almost didn't kill his wife during that time, and now he is close to it, and he wants Mrs. to help him, you say, is there something wrong with this Shouwang's head?"

When it came to the past, the eldest lady only felt bitter in her heart, and then there was a burst of hatred. The negative man, after having fun with her, walked away, causing her to almost die. She hasn't avenged this revenge yet, how can she help him?

Besides, now she is married and lives a stable life. And now, she has a body again, and the child in her belly is her and Hou Ye's. She would never put her mind on people who didn't matter anymore.

The eldest lady thought for a while and said, "You can put the things sent by the eldest brother in my room, so that I can rest assured." Also, you have to keep an eye on the movements in the second room, but if there is any trouble, you must report it to me. ”

Cai's mother knew that these few days were very important for the eldest lady, and it was a precious opportunity to regain her palm, so she nodded busily.

On the second side, seeing that the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, the second lady was not idle, directing people to transport the lacquer plate to the capital, and the dart master was naturally indispensable along the way. This is something that is related to the face of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and it must not be sloppy at all.

After the lacquerware arrived, the second lady ordered someone to carry it to the old lady in order to invite merit, and the old lady was really full of praise, greatly praised the second lady, praised her for having vision and so on, and the second lady almost couldn't even remember her surname.

Put away the lacquerware and return to her yard, the second lady was happy for a long time, and suddenly found that since this precious lacquerware entered the house, she had not seriously appreciated it, not only herself, but even her daughter had never looked at it.

To tell the truth, the second lady really felt sorry for the fourth lady, and even when she looked at such a thing as lacquerware, she felt that she should watch it with her daughter, so she ordered someone to invite the fourth lady over, and slowly took out the lacquer plate carefully.

The lacquer master in Yangzhou is really powerful, the lacquer plate of this "green pine is not old, longevity is better than Nanshan", the texture is exquisite, and the fragments of the luminous shellfish on the top, even in the daytime, are also brilliant colors, shining, full of luxury, and it is good-looking, and it is worth 10,000 taels of silver is not blown.

The second lady watched with her mouth wide open, and her heart could not hide her excitement. To be honest, the second lady is not from a high background, and she has never seen any real treasures, and now this lacquer plate worth 10,000 taels is the most expensive of all the treasures she has seen.

Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. The bottom of the lacquer plate shone like black jade, but near the edge, there was a small white dot.

Originally, there was no big deal with having a small white spot, but how could the second lady who pursued perfection let it go? Not to mention that this was a congratulatory gift to the queen mother, which was related to the future status of their second room in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion and the future of their daughter.

While thinking, the second lady took some water, wrung a clean handkerchief, and wiped it gently.

But that white spot was like a stubborn stain, no matter how she wiped it, it still remained there, white and dangling, which made the second lady a little dazzled.

The second lady was worried all of a sudden, what should she do? You can't take this flawed gift to the queen mother, right?

The second lady thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when the cleaning rings in the house were removed, they were usually washed with alkaline water. Alkaline water has a strong decontamination ability, and any stain can be removed, which may be effective for this white spot.

So, the second lady immediately ordered someone to fetch the alkaline water, and began to work hard to deal with the white spot. (To be continued......)
