216. Chapter 217
Time flies, and the New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye.
Who knew that Li Yinghong was in high spirits, saying that she felt bored after staying at home for a long time, so she discussed with Xiao Jing, and planned to buy it, although 500,000 taels of silver is nothing for the Zhenguo Mansion with more shops, but in order not to let others gossip, Xiao Jing and Xiao Zhengwen discussed, this year is simpler and forget it.
But simple is simple, and there are still some that must be there, and you must not let others laugh at them......
Many ladies take their daughters out to buy New Year's goods, so they meet many acquaintances, and the street is also very lively, people come and go, and the ladies are no longer afraid of dirty and messy, shuttling between buyers and sellers, looking east and west, just to buy New Year's goods.
In fact, not every family can easily take out the 500,000 yuan, some are to expand their face, and some are to please the emperor, even the King of Rui and the King of War have to do superficial work, and the family took out 500,000 taels of silver to fund the conscription, although there are all kinds of sabotage on the way, but fortunately, Mo Qianling and Mo Qianchen have excellent means, and they have survived every interference and successfully completed this year's conscription.
Seeing that there were many people on the street, Xiao Jing was afraid that Li Yinghong would not be able to stand it, so she took her to the jewelry restaurant first, picked out some jewelry she liked, and made her a New Year's gift.
Li Yinghong is a person who dresses magnificently but is afraid of extravagance and waste, and the jewelry she wears is also rewarded by the emperor when Xiao Jing was enthroned, and Xiao Jing gives it again, and rarely goes out to buy these things.
Looking at the dazzling array of jewelry, Li Yinghong pulled Xiao Jing and seemed a little uneasy, after all, the family only took out 500,000 taels of silver this year to fund the emperor's conscription, and if it is too extravagant and wasteful today, it will inevitably cause gossip......
"Jing'er, let's go! There are so many people today! Women love these things, and Xiao Jing naturally knew what Aunt Li was worried about, so she patted her hand and comforted her.
"It's okay! What do you like today? Count Jing'er to honor your ......" Xiao Jing smiled slightly, and sweetly pulled Li Yinghong to look at various ornaments on the jewelry shelf.
"Yo...... Isn't this Miss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao Fang? A woman with a thin waist walked in front of her, followed by a girl with a melon seed face and a delicate appearance.
The two of them looked at Xiao Jing and Li Yinghong with disdain, as if they were looking at a monster one level lower than themselves, which made Xiao Jing feel a little funny.
Pulling Aunt Wang behind her to protect her, Xiao Jing only stepped forward to "Mrs. Wang......"
This Mrs. Wang is Wang Yan's wife, Aunt Wang's mother-in-law, a few months ago because of the meritorious service of the treasure, the family soared, and now I am afraid that because of the queen mother's fancy and cocked pigtails, really not everyone can understand the truth of Grandpa Mao: humility makes people progress, pride makes people backward.
Speaking of Mrs. Wang, this person is also a little scheming, when he was young, he was in the dust, he was beautiful and colorful, and he fell in love with Wang Yan at first sight, and vowed to follow, whether he was a cow, a horse or a maid.
Wang Yan was very moved after hearing this, and the family took her home that day, and then the two slept together again, which made Wang Yan's wife lose her temper, and she died of anger like this, and then she naturally crossed all the procedures and became Wang Yan's wife.
Wang Yan's original match has nothing to do, because she is jealous and there is no concubine in the backyard, but she is different, she tries to find a beautiful girl to serve Wang Yan and please him, and soon forgets about the original match, even now, she is in her forties, and she is still charming.
Standing next to her is her daughter Wang Juan, Wang Juan is fifteen years old this year, and she has not yet decided to marry, presumably Wang Yan will not let go of this opportunity easily.
Looking at Xiao Jing's indifferent face, wearing a white skirt, embroidered with a little plum blossom at the corner of the skirt, beautiful and elegant, such a peerless appearance, it is no wonder that she can still be so prosperous after being divorced by the prince of Rui in Xixia City.
The second grade is already not easy, and she has been promoted to another grade, and in the future, the women of Xixia City will have to salute her......
"This Mrs. Xiao has such a big belly and still has to come out...... Aren't you afraid of accidents? Mrs. Wang's yin and yang weirdness, sour tone made people immediately think of her daughter, Aunt Wang went out thousands of times since Xiao Jing returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, and she didn't know what to do in the embroidery lotus garden all day, it stands to reason that her mother's family has face, and she should come out to hang out, but now, she is very low-key, except for occasionally going out to ask the master to teach Xiao Qing's embroidery skills and piano skills, she rarely appears in the hall, and over time, it seems that there is no such person.
But Xiao Jing knew that she was scheming, so she never ignored it, and she didn't dare to take it lightly.
But this Mrs. Wang is different, she loves to be in the limelight, although she is old, she still wears flowers and green, so she is proud......
"Look, Madame Wang is right...... I don't know, I think Mrs. Wang is a doctor! Xiao Jing smiled lightly, her tone was gentle, but she deeply mocked Mrs. Wang, who in this Xixia City didn't know that Xiao Jing was the most skilled imperial doctor, and now she had to be pointed at by others when she took her side lady out of the house, especially that person was still a woman who didn't know anything, it was really funny.
"The eldest lady laughed, our two families are also in-laws, and I also care about Mrs. Fang, after all, there may still be the only male in the Xiao family, isn't it?" Mrs. Wang looked at Xiao Jing with some atmosphere, as if she didn't know what to do, now her identity has risen, her temper has also increased, and she is loved by the Queen Mother, it is inevitable that many ladies will let her go, but this person is using other people's face as a guts, even if she is unlucky one day, she doesn't know, this Xixia City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are things that are high and low every day, who knows when you will fall into the pit, don't know how to know the proportions and offend people.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Wang today? Always say the wrong thing frequently, what in-laws are not in-laws, I only remember that my Xiao family's in-laws are Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, when did there be one more Wang family? I also have a younger brother named Xiao Siyuan, who said that Mrs. Fang is the only male in her belly? Isn't Mrs. Wang old and her brain is not good? When you're old, you should stay at home, but now there are a lot of people, and it's not good if you bump into your wife, right? Mrs. Fang ......" Xiao Jing smiled lightly, looking at the ladies in the jewelry room and said, the shallow smile seemed to be infectious, everyone covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, and laughed at Mrs. Wang.
"This Mrs. Wang is also really, I remember that Mrs. Xiao's family name is Shangguan, how can she ever have the surname Wang?" Mrs. Chu walked over from the crowd and looked at Xiao Jing with a light smile, full of kindness......
Xiao Jing smiled slightly, bowed down and saluted, "Mrs. Chu is so ......" can be regarded as giving Mrs. Chu enough face.
"Lord Xiao is so polite!" Mrs. Chu also remembered that she knew the number of etiquette, although Chu Xinran was now also a third-grade, but compared with Xiao Jing, it was still much worse, if she didn't return the courtesy, how could it make people fall behind.
"I heard Xinran say that it is thanks to your worry for a while that she has time to come back to see my old woman." Mrs. Chu smiled lightly, and held Xiao Jing's hand and was also very affectionate, Xiao Jing and Chu Xinran were also born and died on the border, the two were very close friends a long time ago, Mrs. Chu also felt that the more she looked at Xiao Jing, the more she fell in love, and couldn't help treating her as her own daughter.
"Where is Mrs. Chu?" Xiao Jing also pulled her with a smile, "What do you fancy today?" ”
"There's a jade bracelet over there, which looks very beautiful, but now that I'm older, I smile generously when I wear it......"
"Where...... Take Jing'er to see it? Xiao Jing pulled Mrs. Chu forward, until a few months ago, she saw her defending herself in front of Yunluo in front of Yun Luo so carelessly, Xiao Jing is still moved to this day, and always wants to give her something after coming back, but she has been suffering from no chance, and now she finally caught it, Xiao Jing also wants to talk about her heart, plus she and Chu Xinran are close friends in the boudoir, and they always have to visit in the New Year, Chu Shangshu is also a righteous gentleman, and the two families are diligent in taking care of each other after visiting, presumably, Mrs. Chu also thinks so, so she maintains Xiao Jing everywhere.
"Okay~" Mrs. Chu was happy when she saw Xiao Jing calling herself Jing'er in front of her, so she couldn't help but give her something, which could be used as a meeting gift.
Li Yinghong smiled and followed behind, not minding Xiao Jing at all following behind Mrs. Chu like this.
But when passing by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang had a fierce look on her face, and when she saw that she stretched out her feet, she happened to trip Li Yinghong, Xiao Jing was startled, and suddenly turned around and "............ with the rain"
Sui Yu immediately understood, and one turned around and stepped forward to support Li Yinghong, and took a few steps back, only to see that she was in shock.
Xiao Jing immediately stepped forward to check the pulse, fortunately, there was no big problem, looking at Mrs. Wang's face, she was extremely angry, "Mrs. Wang, now that you are in Xixia City and have won the trust of the Queen Mother, you should be a dignified and generous lady, but now you are playing such an unsightly little trick in front of the official, do you think you are too smart or do you think that the ladies in Xixia City are stupid, and your eyes are not good?" ”
"Yes! Mrs. Wang is excessive, although Lord Xiao said a few words to you, but it is always you who is rude first, how can you have such thoughts? ”
"This resentful woman is a resentful woman, a prostitute ~ a woman is a prostitute ~ a woman, even if the sparrow becomes a phoenix in one step, the thing in this head is still dirty......"
The ladies said one sentence after another, the more they talked, the more unreliable they became, how they all revolved around the identity of Mrs. Wang, they were always dusty women, how could they not have received good etiquette, and they were narrow-minded......
"Fortunately, Master Xiao is here, otherwise the child in this belly ......" A young woman who seemed timid wanted to speak and stopped, her little face was pale, as if she was frightened by the scene just now.
Everyone knows that there are no men in the Xiao family, and the only Xiao Siyuan was rescued by Xiao Jing from Meizhou City.
"Xiao Jing, you don't have to inch in......" In the end, Wang Juan couldn't see it, and pulled Mrs. Wang behind her to block her and faced Xiao Jing menacingly.
"Do I have to make inches? Miss Wang...... Everyone can see the truth of this matter clearly, who has to be rude first, I think I and Mrs. Wang both understand, since Mrs. Wang has no remorse, then I'm sorry, I have to seek justice for my wife today......" Xiao Jing's face sank and let go of her cruel words.
