Chapter 132: Old treacherous and cunning
A scoundrel with a sharp beak and a wicked gaze next to him also echoed: "That's it, the other girls and young ladies of the Xiao family are just fine, they are all daughters of famous families, but the so-called four girls, who in the whole of Kyoto doesn't know what their origins are? It's not strange that they are vicious and rude."
As soon as these words came out, some people echoed and laughed, and some people frowned and said: "Having said that, the fourth girl of the Xiao family was also raised by the Xiao family, and she still occupies the position of concubine, can the Xiao family not be careful to train her? I haven't heard of any evil deeds before? But the reputation of the Jiang family is like thunder, who doesn't know?"
The previous young offspring nodded again and again, "That's it, besides, if it was really the four girls of the Xiao family who killed someone, with the arrogance of the Duke of Miguo, why could they still be allowed to go unpunished? I'm afraid that the fourth girl Xiao would have been arrested and tried a long time ago, right?"
This is very reasonable, the people around him nodded again and again, Hu Er was anxious, and quibbled: "Then why doesn't the Xiao family be allowed to mourn in the Duke of Miguo?"
A middle-aged man at the next table slowly picked up the peanuts on the plate and ate them, and sneered: "The Mansion of the Kingdom of Miguo is notoriously unreasonable, I heard that the old lady who died is usually the most loved, and she has to be angry with others.
This is in line with the mentality of most people, and everyone nodded in convincing for a while, and the middle-aged man said: "I don't know if everyone knows about the Xiao family's carriage hitting and injuring people before?"
Five or six of the dozen or so people nodded, and the rest who didn't know were also busy pulling others to ask, and the middle-aged man sighed: "I witnessed it with my own eyes at that time, and the four girls of the Xiao family were at the scene." Not only was he born dignified and noble, but he also spoke softly and reasonably. Not only did he send people to treat the injured girl, but he also did not shirk the losses caused by the carriage at all, and compensated them one by one.
These words evoked the memories of many people, and they all said yes again and again. I also believe most of the "facts" of the government of the country.
This similar scene was staged in the bustling streets and alleys of Kyoto at the same time, and in just three days, public opinion fell from sympathy for the death of the Mikuni Mansion to the arrogance of the Mikuni Mansion. The Xiao family is low-key and modest.
The old lady of the state of Miguo jumped like thunder, pacing back and forth in the house like a trapped beast, pointing at Jiang Wu and scolding: "You idiot! What are you doing spreading these rumors? If you want to take revenge, you have to be calm. You're only going to make them wary!" As he spoke, he slammed the cup hard. Holding the girl's hand, she turned around and left.
Jiang Wu's tears slid down her pale and thin cheeks like beads that had fallen off the thread, her eyes were red, and her bitter hatred had annihilated the clarity and kindness, yes, why am I so stupid?
Strangely, after this wave of rumors, the Mansion became extremely quiet. did not trouble Leyu again, and the old lady of Miguo did not enter the palace to cry. After the funeral was completed, Jiang Mengyao's coffin and tablet were sent to the Jokhang Temple, waiting for the cemetery to be built and then buried, but the tablet could only be stored in the ZĂ i Jokhang Temple for worship.
Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Duke of Miguo Mansion will no longer hold on to Le Yu. Le Yu's heart is always heavy, she is not afraid of the Duke of Miguo's hard, but this quiet makes her creepy, more and more vigilant, and tries not to go out if she has nothing to do.
The first New Year's Festival after Leyu's rebirth was still late after experiencing countless turmoil, and Kyoto became more and more lively and joyful, with the sound of firecrackers and children's laughter and frolic everywhere.
The old lady was old, and she knew that her energy was gradually decreasing, so she took the trouble to teach Gu by hand, and she never made a mistake.
The Su family's New Year's gifts were continuously sent from the east corner gate into the inner courtyard warehouse, what cloth, silk, gold and jade utensils, tonic medicinal materials were all classified by the warehouse steward after inspecting and entering the warehouse, and the rare and special ones were directly held by the girls and presented to the Gu family.
Several sisters gathered in Gu's room, and even Le Rao, who had not shown up for a long time, came out, Gu took the gift list and looked at it, and said with a smile: "There are twelve pairs of emerald inlaid stone flowers, I think they are for you sisters."
The girl who had already had a good spirit held it up, and the red velvet cushion on the red sandalwood tray was lined with two neat rows of pearlescent delicate head flowers.
The head flowers of different shapes, with grape pattern, squirrel pattern, flowing cloud bat, begonia pattern, peony pattern,... All are inlaid with various colors of gemstones, beads, and are made of thin silk gold wires, lifelike, delicate and gorgeous.
Gu Shi said with a smile: "Except for Leru, you are all here, just pick two pairs for each person, and send the rest of Fangjing to the five girls."
Le Rao and Le Yan both looked at Le Xian with blank eyes, she is the eldest sister, and the reason is naturally that she chooses first, Le Xian smiled gently, "I don't care, you pick first."
Le Rao was overjoyed, and just as she was about to stretch out her hand, she heard Le Yu say lightly: "Big sister is letting us sisters, but we can't make people laugh without rules, let's pick it first."
Le Wan also said: "These head flowers are very luxurious and exquisite, we can't suffer a loss if we pick them later, let's pick them first, otherwise my grandmother will say that we don't have the rules and temperament of the hairpin family." Although her words are soft, they are very resolute.Le Yan is almost full of resentment, she is the youngest, isn't she the last to pick the rest?
Le Yu smiled knowingly, Le Wan has always been cautious, inconsequential jewelry is just a disrespectful elder sister, it is not fun to fall into the handle of the eldest sister.
Le Xian was slightly displeased, and they all guarded her so tightly, she simply stopped refusing. Randomly picked a pair of peony blossoms, a pair of squirrels inlaid with red gems and diamonds, Le Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at Le Yan quietly. Sure enough, she was full of displeasure, and her eyes were slightly dying and looking at the ground.
Sisters who don't know Le Yan's favorite diamond jewelry? Le Xian first took Le Yan's love, and her resentment naturally burned not to the humble Le Xian, but to stop her Le Yu and Le Wan.
This pair of peacock head flowers is extremely gorgeous, the peacock body is red gold, and the gorgeous tail feathers are filled with real peacock feathers. Then embedded with colorful tourmaline beads, in the sunlight treasure light scorching, very eye-catching.
Sure enough, Le Yan was even more displeased. But in front of Gu's didn't dare to say anything, he reluctantly put a pair of begonia patterns and a pair of chrysanthemum patterns into his pocket, and his slender fingers shrunk into his sleeves and pinched the cold and convex head flowers, and his knuckles turned white.
Gu also knew that Le Yan was a little unhappy. She has always been gentle and soft-eared. She was quite happy and sweet-mouthed, so she thought about compensating for her, and said with a smile: "There are also twelve sandalwood fans on this gift list, and a box of exquisite purses, Yan'er will pick it first."
Le Yan turned her anger into joy, and rubbed to Gu's side embarrassedly, coquettish like a twisted candy, "Thank you, mother." It's still the mother who loves Yan'er the most." Saying that, she unceremoniously chose enough purse fans, Le Yu would not fight with her for these things, and sneered slightly in her heart. I don't know how Aunt Li will feel when she hears her words.
Le Xian got up and walked to the small box with her clothes, shoes and socks, checked it, and said softly: "Mother, the craftsmanship of the sister of the Su family is really good, and the clothes made for you are really beautiful."
The snow blue eight Hunan skirts in her hand are very delicate and elegant, the material is the best drunken fairy face in the south of the Yangtze River, soft as a cloud, delicate and soft, only embroidered in the skirt with a slightly darker color of folded magnolia, the stitches are fine and symmetrical, the color is both elegant and noble and calm, it is very beautiful and elegant.
Gu Shi smiled in his eyes, showing that he was very satisfied with Su Yuanzhi, "Yuanzhi's child is very careful and filial, and he makes clothes, shoes and socks for me every year, but none of them are inappropriate, it's really rare."
Le Wan also stepped forward to check out a gemstone green woven silver silk peony stand-up collar pinching the waist brocade jacket, and said with a smile: "It's a complete set, how can she think of this color?
Le Rao also leaned over, flipped through it, and said: "This Miss Su is really careful, not only the outer clothes, but also the small clothes and middle clothes, embroidered shoes and socks, they are all available."
In the midst of laughter and laughter, Le Yu stood in place, cold and cold in her heart, Su Yuanzhi was not an ordinary scheming, in her previous life, she married into the Xiao family, she was humble and thoughtful in dealing with people, and she presided over all aspects of family affairs, and she was even more rare to be filial to her father and mother, and won unanimous praise from top to bottom, saying that she was dignified, gentle, wise, and compassionate!
But Su Yuanzhi, in this life, you won't be like a fish in water in your previous life, coaxing everyone!
Retracting her thoughts, Le Yu slowly smiled and greeted the people who were talking and laughing.

Huaimin was wearing a plain honey-colored folded branch flower style hair pinching waist brocade jacket and moon white brocade skirt, solemnly holding incense and worshipping, and after bowing three times, the girl inserted it into the incense burner, and then turned around and asked: "The old lady mourns the change, but I don't know what to tell me to come out today?"
The old lady of the Duke of Miguo stood behind Huaimin with a gloomy face holding the girl's hand with a cane, quietly looking at Jiang Mengyao's tablet, and said after a while: "Today, the old man invited the county lord to come out, and there is an inquiry."
Huai Min calmly and calmly, sighed: "Sister Mengyao unfortunately died, I also sigh deeply, the old lady is okay."
The old lady of the Duke of Miguo seems to be ten years old these days, and there are many wrinkles on her smooth face, and her cheekbones are becoming more and more towering and mean, and she said substantially: "Did my aunt ever tell the county lord that day that the little slut of the Xiao family was shameless and seduced the prince of Cheng Wang?"
Huai Min's eyebrows jumped, and her heart was dark, this old pious woman still refused to give up? Is she the eldest princess, Huai Min is not the kind of fool who doesn't know the height of the sky, it seems to be cruel, but because lowly people don't need her to play tricks at all, they just kill them. (To be continued.) )
