Chapter 35: The Battle for the Pearl
Courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everyone in the Yang Mansion had already arrived, but Jing Ci was late.
The old lady lay lazily and casually on the couch, and the maid gently pinched her shoulders. Physician Zhang on the side sorted out the medicine box, and the maid poured him a cup of tea.
The rest of the people sat down, drinking tea and eating snacks, looking relaxed and leisurely, without the slightest melancholy.
"Grandmother Wanfu, Jing Ci is late to play, grandmother's body is better?"
The old lady nodded, waved her hand, and motioned to take a seat.
Jing Ci walked to the end of the table and sat down, silently observing the situation. The people on the other side kept signaling to her, obviously Li Chen arrived at the courtyard before her, she stared at him with big eyes, what the hell is going on?
It's a pity that she and Li Chen are not in the same tone, and they don't know what the other party is talking about. Jing Ci gave up, and it happened that there were a few plates of dim sum on the case, and she was already hungry, so she would fill her stomach first. So while people were not paying attention, he reached out to the delicate Jinhua cake on the table and ate two or three pieces in a row.
"Look at our four mothers' hungry ......" Aunt He smiled Yan Yan, and stared at her from the moment she entered the door, "I don't know how many days I thought I had been hungry in the courtyard......"
Although Aunt He smiled, her words were hidden in her words, and her words were meaningful.
Yang Yupei on the other side chuckled, "Siniang has been hungry for a long time, and she even forgot the rules......"
Jing Ci's hand stopped in mid-air, not telescopic, slightly embarrassed.
Fang Nian, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't help but speak, and said, "What kind of days Siniang has lived these days, the ladies don't know, the slaves and servants in the house are using human power to deduct the courtyard, and in the end, there are only so few things in the courtyard, and the maids in the courtyard are not very careful...... I also ask the ladies to call the shots for Siniang. ā
In an instant, the atmosphere of the whole room became subtle.
Everyone bowed their heads and started their own business.
Jing Ci became more and more embarrassed, this girl is really stupid.
Yang Shouyan secretly stared at Wang Wan who was sitting opposite, the corners of her mouth twitched, Wang Wan heard about her daughter's suffering, she was still unfazed, Yang Shouyan sometimes really admires her, how many mothers can turn a blind eye to their own flesh and blood?
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Aunt He finally put down the teacup, and she still had to clean up by herself. She changed her previous tone and said lightly: "As the master of the first courtyard, I can't even handle such a little thing, how can I be worthy of being the lady of the Yang Mansion." ā
Fang Nian, who was waiting for the ladies to be the masters of the master, was completely stunned, and stared at Aunt He suddenly, this person, this person is the best at saying cool things!
"Hey, stare at me, you stare again, be careful to gouge out your eyeballs." Aunt He glanced at Fang Nian and looked angry.
Fang Nian couldn't help but tremble......
"Please also ask Aunt He to pay attention to her proportions when she speaks, Fang Nian is a person in my hospital." Jing Ci, who had been silent, finally spoke up, and her bottom line was not to allow others to insult and bully her.
"Yang Jingci, where have you been playing for so long?" Grandmother's words stopped the ensuing battle of words.
"Back to my grandmother, Jing Ci went to the East Market for a walk."
The old lady snorted, her tone was quite disdainful, "Is there something that the Yang Mansion really lacks for you?" What is there to do in the East Market. ā
"Grandmother, I asked my fourth aunt to go shopping with me." Li Chen, who was also the tail, made a sound, smiled and behaved, and then raised his chin at Jing Ci.
Jing Ci pouted, even if this kid still knows how to speak for her.
Everyone present was a little surprised, when did Li Chen and Siniang get together? But no one spoke, waiting to see a good show.
"Li Chen is stubborn and ignorant, as the fourth aunt, are you also ignorant?" Yang Shouyan said coldly.
Jing Ci pursed her lips, can this also involve her?
She looked at Yang Shouyan's face and suddenly remembered...... Isn't it the twenty gold that Li Chen asked for from his eldest sister?
"The disaster is Li Chenchuang's, and it's not me who should lose money."
As soon as she spoke, Li Chen hurriedly closed his eyes, with a painful expression on his face, Ouch, hey, what does this fool say about this......
"What money?" A pair of sharp phoenix eyes stared at her curiously.
As soon as Yang Shouyan spoke, Jing Ci was completely stunned, could it be ...... The eldest sister doesn't know about this?
Looking at everyone's eyes, she suddenly didn't know what to do.
"I accidentally dropped a bracelet, and when I heard that the fourth lady was going to Dongshi, I asked her to help me find a reliable craftsman shop, but Li Chen accidentally broke the things in the craftsman's shop." The third sister, Yang Weixiao, suddenly smiled lightly.
Jing Ci cautiously raised her gaze and looked at Yang Weixiao on the side, her face was full of surprise, she couldn't imagine that this third sister would lie for her.
"Is that so?" Yang Shouyan stared at Yang Weiwei.
"How dare I hide it from my grandmother and eldest sister."
Second sister Yang Yupei sneered, "What do you dare to do, openly and secretly, is there still less?" ā
"That's right, that's what the third aunt told us to do." Seeing this, Li Chen hurriedly answered and nodded again and again.
Seeing that no one made a sound, the arrogant Yang Yupei glared at him unhappily, "Everywhere is your business, you don't get involved." ā
"So, Sanniang still lost money for Li Chen? Does Sanniang have this money? "Yang Shouyan is thoughtful and can always find the loopholes of others.
"In the final analysis, I ordered this to happen, and the eldest lady also suspects that I can't do it?" Wang Wan on the side finally put down the teacup in her hand, looked at everyone, and spoke lightly.
"That's it!" The old lady interrupted everyone and accused angrily, "It's not annoying to fight back and forth, you people, all of you have hidden selfishness, and your life is boring!" ā
The old lady blamed her, and her face was raised, and everyone did not dare to squeak.
"Take care of the lady's anger, people, you are rich in your heart, and only when your heart is wide can you stay young forever." Dr. Zhang sneered, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, and his persuasive tone was extremely soft.
"They are bothering me with their chatter, and they are here to visit me, obviously because they think I am not sick enough."
"Your children and grandchildren are full, all the ladies and gentlemen are filial piety, and they often come to the courtyard to remember you, which is a blessing that many people can't ask for, so you can be content."
Fang Nian, who was standing behind the master, glanced at Doctor Zhang with disgust, and scolded in his heart, hypocrisy!
The old lady was finally amused by Dr. Zhang, pointed at Dr. Zhang and said, "You are a sweet-mouthed person who knows how to make people happy." ā
Everyone knew that the old lady's voice was loud and ruddy, and there was no sickness in the slightest. The elderly and noisy Guan family, who is rejuvenated, loves to be lively and doesn't know how to say, but she wants to turn around and call everyone to her courtyard to toss.
"Okay, you all go back, look upset." The old lady suddenly felt little interested, so she opened her mouth to dismiss the people.
Jing Ci couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't embarrass her again this time. She had learned about her grandmother's eccentricity, and no one wanted to be far away from such a person.
Walking out of the courtyard, everyone walked towards their respective courtyards.
Jing Ci deliberately slowed down and waited for Li Chen, wanting to ask things clearly. Li Chen was quite smart, and when he saw her in front, he walked up quickly.
"What the hell is going on?" Jing Ci raised his head and asked.
Li Chen pursed his lips, "Who told you not to finish listening......"
"Where the hell did that money come from?"
"Uh-" he gestured to someone not far away.
Not far away, a figure in a pale yellow skirt and another proudly stood opposite each other, although the two of them opened their mouths and spoke, the undercurrents around them were surging violently, and the atmosphere was quite strange and tense.
Yang Yupei raised his noble head and stared coldly at Yang Weiwei with a calm face, "Look at your proud appearance, isn't it just a Yang Jing word that can help you go to heaven?" Yang Yupei knows her too well, she is calmer, and her heart is deeper.
"Where did the second sister say, how could she have such great ability, she finally came back, I just hope she is safe."
"She still wants peace like this? Jokes, if she can get along well, God can see it, I can't even see it. "Like water, his eyes are sharp and keen, and he seems to be able to shoot fire.
"If Jing Ci offends the second sister in any way, I apologize for her and ask the second sister to forgive me." Yang Weiwei lowered her head and said softly.
Yang Yupei saw her behaving like this, and she couldn't help but be angry, "What are you pretending!" I hate you the most, pretend to be pitiful and hide behind your mother, what do you think your aunt is, but a lowly concubine! ā
"Shut up!"
Two voices rang out at the same time.
I don't know when, Jing Ci has stepped forward, and she and Yang Weiwei interrupted Yang Yupei in unison.
Yang Yupei turned his head when he heard the sound, stared coldly at Jing Ci who suddenly appeared beside him, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "What a sisterhood." ā
"The housemother left early, who in the whole family doesn't take great care of the second sister, the second sister has used this as a bargaining chip since she was a child, and she is willful, who is she worthy of?" Yang Weiwei lowered her eyes, her tone was light, and the semantics were not polite at all.
"How old are you? Dare to question me? Yang Yupei's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but be angry, raised his palm and fanned Yang Weiwei......
Yang Weixiao closed her eyes, shrunk her head, and subconsciously dodged......
Unexpectedly, the loud slap did not fall on time, and Yang Yupei's sharp slap was caught by Jing Ci with one hand, steady, making her unable to move at all.
