Chapter 227: Accident
"Mother, what are you doing?"
A sharp exclamation sounded, and then the figure of the fourth lady Gu Yuanqin appeared at the door, and she looked at the second lady in disbelief. At this time, the second lady was wiping something very hard. It was so beautiful and dazzling that it dazzled her, and when she saw it clearly, she couldn't help but scream.
The second lady was engrossed, and she didn't notice that someone came in at all, and was suddenly startled by the fourth lady's scream, and her hand didn't grasp it firmly, and the beautiful lacquer plate fell into the copper basin containing alkaline water with a "plop".
The fourth lady's eyes were about to fall out, and she couldn't care about the second lady, so she hurriedly took a step forward to fish out the lacquer plate. Rao is so, but alkaline water is such a powerful thing, stained with some that is corroded, when she wiped the paint plate with a dry cloth, the traces of alkaline water corrosion also appeared.
The fourth lady looked at the white spots that appeared one after another on the lacquer plate as beautiful and smooth as black jade, and she almost vomited blood in anger, and pointed at the second lady and couldn't speak.
The second lady was also frightened, she originally wanted to wipe off the small white spot on the paint plate, but she didn't want to do it this way, but the small white spot was not removed, but she made such a white spot of different sizes, which was better than the small white spot just now. She was also frightened, her mouth was wide open, and her lips trembled several times before she spoke: "This...... What the hell is going on?"
"What's the matter?!" Miss Gu Si was so angry that she didn't care about anything, pointed to the second lady's nose and said, "This is good." Why are you so bad at doing anything that you have to get along with this lacquer plate? Don't you know how expensive this lacquer plate is? 10,000 taels of silver! Don't you know what this lacquer plate is for? It was a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother! Now it's good, look at it. Look at what you've made it look like?!"
The second lady panicked, of course she knew the value of this lacquer plate, and she also knew that this lacquer plate dedicated to the queen mother was related to her status in the mansion and the future of her daughter.
"But, but......" explained the second lady with great difficulty, "I have only seen it above. There's a little white spot on it, so I thought I'd get some alkaline water to get rid of that little white spot......"
When the fourth lady heard this, she became even more angry: "Can alkaline water clean lacquerware? Do you have a brain? Why don't you ask if you don't understand?" Why do you make your own decisions!"
The more the fourth lady spoke, the more angry she became: "I really don't understand, how can there be such a stupid mother as you! But you can do whatever you want. It's really not enough to succeed, more than enough to lose!"
How could the second lady ever be reprimanded so harshly? Not to mention her own own daughter! Immediately she was anxious, angry, ashamed, and remorseful, and her eyes went black, and she fell backwards.
The fourth lady's eyes were only on the destroyed lacquer plate, and she looked at it painfully, and counted it mercilessly, when she heard a loud "coo" and looked back. I saw the second lady fall to the ground on her back, and the back of her head hit the corner of the table. A hole was knocked out, and blood flowed out, instantly forming a pool of blood on the ground.
The fourth lady was frightened, hurriedly threw the lacquer plate in her hand, threw herself in front of the second lady, and shouted while helping the second lady up: "Come on, come on!"
The maids outside "hula" all rushed in, and saw that the second lady had her eyes closed, her face was like white paper, she was unconscious, her anger was like a gossamer, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, they were all frightened, and someone immediately slipped out and reported to the old lady.
Mother Du helped the old lady to rush over, seeing the second lady like this, and then looking at the six gods and no owners in the room, especially the fourth lady who seemed to be shrewd and assertive on weekdays, now she was also frightened like a fool, sat on the ground in a daze, and couldn't make a sound, the old lady's heart immediately became unhappy, and shouted: "What are you panicking, first lift the person on the couch, fix the head, and don't let her dangle around." ”
After the order, the old lady said to Du's mother: "You take my post, send it to the Taiyi Pavilion as soon as possible, tell the situation here to the Taiyi Doctor Hu, and let him come over to deal with it immediately." The matter is urgent, and I am afraid that it will be too late. ”
Du's mother hurriedly agreed and went quickly.
The old lady looked into the room and saw a copper basin on the ground, which contained water, and a rag floating in it. Not far away, on the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a lacquer plate dedicated to the Queen Mother as a congratulatory gift.
The old lady understood a little, and she walked over and took the lacquer plate up and looked at it. With just one look, her eyes widened.
This is what she made for 10,000 taels of silver? The white spots on her body are not at all the same as when she first sent them to the mansion before?
Zi Peony helped the old lady, and also saw the lacquer plate, "Ah", and said in surprise: "Old lady, is this the lacquer plate you saw before noon today?
The old lady's shrewd eyes glanced at the room, and soon fell on the copper plate full of water, and said, "Zi Shao, go over and see, what is in that copper basin?"
Purple Spoon followed the old lady to serve the old lady when she was a child, and many things were taught by the old lady. When she heard the old lady say this, she knew that there must be something strange about the water in the copper basin. She walked over, examined it, dipped some more, judged for a moment, turned around and said, "Old lady, it's alkaline water." ”
The old lady only felt that her anger rushed upward, and she said angrily: "It's really my good daughter-in-law and good granddaughter, I don't know how to love and care for valuable things, I only know how to destroy, and I don't even understand this bit of common sense, it's really a shame for our Yuanning Hou Mansion!"
The daughters of the eunuchs in the capital have the possibility of being selected to enter the palace. Therefore, the female gentlemen in the capital who specialize in teaching the daughters of those large families usually teach some homely furnishings and maintenance methods for valuables. But the second lady's maiden family is not in the capital, only two years before marrying into the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, she moved to the capital with her mother, so she is very lacking in knowledge in this area.
In fact, the old lady still knows about the second lady's catties, so there is such a reason for not letting her run the house. But the fourth miss is different, the fourth miss was born in the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and she has long asked the female gentleman to teach these knowledge to the ladies in the mansion, but she is afraid that when she arrives at her husband's house in the future, she will make jokes and cause trouble. I didn't expect this fourth lady to be untaught, her mother was so nonsense, and she didn't know how to dissuade her, how could this make the old lady not angry?
The old lady walked up to the fourth lady with a cane, paused heavily on the crutches, and reproached: "What do you do with this fourth lady? Your own mother doesn't understand, it's just that you understand, why don't you know how to dissuade you?" It's really in vain that I asked my husband to teach you!"
The fourth lady was stunned all the time, and she didn't wake up in fright. At this time, I was so frightened by the old lady, her eyes were wide open, and she went straight under the table, and cried and shouted: "It's none of my business, it's really not my business, it's not my business!"
