Chapter 196: Violent Material, General Election
Because it was winter, a hot pot was placed in the middle of the table, and some fruits such as oranges were prepared.
Several maids each peeled oranges to serve their own young lady.
Over there, Chen Ya'er turned her face sideways and asked Ling Rui'er with a smile: "Sister Ling, why didn't your second sister come, I heard that the queen mother loves your second sister the most, and it is better than the eldest lady?"
"My sister is naturally more favored by the queen's aunt than the eldest sister, the eldest sister's temperament, that appearance and sister can not be compared, my aunt likes my sister when she is young, the previous one, I went into the palace with the eldest sister, my sister went into the palace to see my aunt, my aunt also rewarded me with a pair of exquisite earrings with the eldest sister, only my sister got both earrings and a pair of bracelets. Ling Rui'er glanced at Mo Xuetong with a slanted face.
"Ling Mingyan is the concubine of the Dingguo Prince's house, Ling Fengyan and Ling Rui'er are the concubines of the second room, and the relationship is not harmonious. Luo Mingzhu handed a golden orange to the maid ring behind him, and whispered to Mo Xuetong.
The strange name is so complicated, it turns out that there is a difference between far and near!
Mo Xuetong took a petal of orange handed over by Mo Yu and put it aside, she actually didn't like to eat it, and motioned for Mo Yu not to peel it again.
Over there, Chen Ya'er said with envy: "Miss Ling, I saw your sister at the Queen Mother's banquet last time, she is beautiful and generous, it's good to have such a sister!"
Ling Rui'er became more and more proud, glanced at Mo Xuetong, and said in an arrogant amplified voice: "That's, of course it's something to be proud of to have such a sister, if you meet those sisters who are immoral, then you will have a face." ”
She's an ironic Mo Xuemin!
"Sister Ling is talking about Miss Mo?" You Yue'e said meaningfully on the side.
This matter is so big, although it has been a few days, but on the cusp, one is the prince of Zhenguo, a famous talented woman in Mofu, and this kind of thing is not a scandal, although Mo Xuemin appeared on the side of self-preservation, but how important is a woman's reputation, even so, Mo Xuemin's reputation is ruined, if it is not married to Sima Lingyun, she can only enter the family temple.
"I heard that Miss Mo used to be a gentle and beautiful woman, and she was also a great beauty who was once recognized, but since Miss Mo San entered Beijing, this matter has become more and more terrifying!" Ling Rui'er said with a smile.
This means that the reason why Mo Xuemin is in his current situation is all because of Mo Xue's pupils.
These two are planning to huddle up against her!
Mo Xuetong smiled faintly and said: "It can be seen that these so-called beauties and talented women are unreliable, and the rumors are not credible." ”
Ling Rui'er was still proud that her sister was the first beauty just now, and this was directly a slap in the face! When her face changed, she said angrily: "What does Miss Mo San mean?"
"What does Miss Ling mean, I naturally mean. Mo Xuetong said leisurely, her eyes as clear as water had no intention of flinching, if she was bullied like this, and she could still hold back, she would not have to gather in the ladies in the capital in the future, and she would always be reduced to their jokes.
If you don't teach the first person who comes up and steps on it a good lesson, there will be such troubles one after another in the future, and she will persevere, and she is not willing to show weakness to this kind of ladies in the capital today.
"Miss Mo San, is it still a commendable thing that happened to Sister Ling! Sister Ling, don't be angry, Sister Ling didn't embarrass you, and she can't be angry with irrelevant people. You Yue'e sneered, as if she had come up to relieve the siege.
"Second Miss Ling is very good for the head of the Dingguo Mansion, I heard that she was drinking outside with the two princes on Chinese New Year's Eve, there are too many phoenix dragons and grandchildren, and it is not easy to choose!" Luo Mingzhu finally found a chance to speak, and said coolly at the moment.
Not only did Ling Rui'er's face change greatly, but even You Yue'e made a big red face, Ling Fengyan's scene of encountering the two princes on Chinese New Year's Eve is not a secret in the real family, everyone knows what it means, but no one says it, wandering between the two young princes, although the Duke of Dingguo is laughed at, Ling Fengyan's reputation is also damaged.
Although Mo Xuemin's reputation was damaged, he still fought desperately, but Ling Fengyan had an affair with the two princes, and he really couldn't say how noble Mo Xuemin was.
In terms of truth, no one can say who ......
"Okay, okay, it's rare for a few sisters to meet together, don't say anything hurtful about feelings, Miss Mo is really pitiful, who wants that kind of thing to happen! Miss Ling Er is both talented and beautiful, naturally there are many people who love her, and it's not something we can comment, look, when it comes to this kind of thing, everyone is not hurt, just say something happy, sisters, look at the few hairpins I brought this time, how does my sister feel?" Wang Xiuxiu came out to play the round again, and clapped her hands with a smile.
One of the two rings that followed her came up and first sorted out the utensils in front of her, and took out a clean cloth and put it underneath, and the other came and took out a fine ornament box and put it on it.
Wang Xiuxiu opened it with a smile, only to see that there were still a few small jewelry boxes inside, she stood up and took them out one by one and lined them up, exactly seven.
"Sister's things are so exquisite, these things are a set?" Shen Xianxiu also stood up and covered her lips and smiled.
"Naturally, it's a set, but I put a lot of effort into making it unique, and I hope my sisters like it. Wang Xiuxiu opened a box, which contained a small golden hairpin, with different flower shapes on the hairpin, including peony, peony, orchid, plum blossom, chrysanthemum, lily, begonia, and the image was different, but it was very beautiful.
Golgoth has a small branch inlaid with emeralds at the bottom of the flower, which is both beautiful and beautiful.
Everyone's eyes lit up all at once.
"What a beautiful hairpin, is it a pattern you drew yourself?" Chen Yaer picked up an orchid hairpin, looked at it twice, and praised.
"But no, in order to be able to choose the same set with all my sisters, I choose patterns, and I do patterns, and I have been busy for most of the month, what do you think? Wang Xiuxiu's voice is like Yinling, crisp and rhythmic, which can make people feel good.
Such a sleek method really doesn't look like a young lady who is only about sixteen years old should have!
The room full of people stood up and stretched out to look at the hairpins, only Mo Xuetong sat on the side with a smile, neither cold nor enthusiastic.
"Sister Mo also came over to pick one, I heard Sister Luo say that there is a smart, beautiful cousin, I will count you, come and see what to choose?" Wang Xiuxiu saw her sitting on the side, and greeted warmly.
Seeing that she was so enthusiastic, Mo Xuetong couldn't be too cold, stood up and walked over, and there were only three hairpins left on the table.
"Cousin Hitomi, it's just right for you to choose this. Luo Mingzhu picked up the orchid pattern on the table and handed it to Mo Xuetong, the flower was small and a little light, so it didn't provoke the eyes of the ladies, so he didn't choose it now, but Luo Mingzhu knew that Mo Xuetong had always liked light.
"Thank you Miss Wang, it's just that it's useless, it's really ......" Mo Xuetong didn't want to accept Wang Xiuxiu's "kindness", she didn't know Wang Xiuxiu's previous relationship, and today was the first time to see them, how could she accept such a valuable gift from others, just those emerald green branches and leaves on the hairpin, which are also inlaid with good jade, this branch will cost a hundred taels of silver, she doesn't think that she is familiar with Wang Xiuxiu to the extent that she can send valuable ornaments to each other.
"Cousin Hitomi, you can rest assured, Sister Wang is a generous person, I just mentioned you to her, she immediately counted you, and said that she would let you come together, if you don't want to go, after a while, it will be Sister Wang's birthday, and we will congratulate her on her birthday. Luo Mingzhu wiped her white face with a handkerchief and said with a smile.
It can be seen that she is also very familiar with Wang Xiuxiu!
"Sister Mo, don't think I'm going to suffer, when the time comes, on my birthday, you will all have to come, and don't forget to bring gifts. Wang Xiuxiu sat down, chose the begonia for Luo Mingzhu, put the hairpin of the last chrysanthemum in the decoration box, and beckoned the girls to re-distribute the vegetables.
Having said this, it would be a bit hypocritical for Mo Xuetong not to accept it!
Simply thanked him generously, picked up the box handed by Wang Xiuxiu, and asked Moyu to put it away.
The maids stirred the charcoal fire a little more vigorously, and added sparse meat to the fresh soup, and the aroma of meat overflowed for a while, which made people's appetite move.
"Sister Mo, your eldest sister's matter is really unlucky, I can't imagine that Sima Shizi is usually well-dressed, how can he be like that, pity your eldest sister is beautiful and talented, just like this...... I don't know how your father is going to deal with this?" Wang Xiuxiu sat down and suddenly started talking to Mo Xuetong, the two of them were not seated, and there was a Shen Xianxiu in the middle.
"I don't know much about the eldest sister, my father's decision, I don't dare to kiss. Mo Xuetong put down her chopsticks and smiled softly.
As a child, you can't criticize the elders, as a girl in the boudoir, it is a bit too much to talk about this kind of thing that is immoral, Mo Xuetong doesn't feel that she is familiar with Wang Xiuxiu and is not formal, so she can talk about such private words.
"I heard that the Marquis of Zhenguo was arrested and questioned by the Criminal Department a while ago, and he has not been released yet, so I am afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile at that time.
One is the aristocratic Shiyun, the descendant of the meritorious hero, and the other is the emerging minister, soaring! If it really makes a joke, it is really a loss of the system of Great Qin, so this matter has not been done until now, what I see is the reflection of the Mo family, but these are all things about the Mo Mansion and the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, and Mo Xuetong doesn't think it has anything to do with the other people here.
Intercede for Sima Lingyun?
That's impossible, in the previous life, Mo Xue Tong was Sima Lingyun's main room, and he clearly knew that Sima Lingyun had nothing to do with the few high-ranking nobles in front of him! If Sima Lingyun had these people to help, why did he have to marry himself, he was proud of himself in the officialdom by someone else!
Of course, Mo Xuetong wouldn't think that the shrewd Wang Xiuxiu was just partying for the sake of partying!
"Sister Wang said what to do with these things, let's talk about some things about our daughter's family, those bloody things are all infiltrating when you talk about them!" Chen Yaer said with a coquettish smile.
"That's what I'm talking about, Sister Wang, you still say some rumors in the palace, what are the new colors and clothes of the ladies today, let us also learn from them. Shen Qianrou replied with a smile.
"If you want to say that the things in this palace are still the most familiar to Sister Ling, I see the ladies and girls from time to time in the palace, and the dresses of the ladies and girls, so naturally I have to ask Sister Ling!" Wang Xiuxiu covered her handkerchief and smiled.
Hearing them mention themselves, Ling Rui'er raised her face proudly, "The most up-to-date word in the palace now is the draft, and my aunt said that there will be a general election soon." ”
