Chapter 20: Anger
As soon as Su Rui entered the door, she saw Su Ximei, and glanced at her with her chin raised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Seventh sister, why are you here?" Her tone was unceremoniously asked, "Didn't Mother say that you don't have to say hello on weekdays?" ”
"That's because my mother is sympathetic to my poor health." Su Ximei smiled and said, "Now that it's all right, I should come to greet my father and mother." ”
Su Rui pursed her lips, she heard that this girl spoke sharply, she still didn't believe it, but when she saw it today, it was really the case.
She walked past Su Ximei, sneered softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and then stepped forward to salute Su De and the Zheng family.
As soon as he bent his knees, he heard a crisp voice in surprise.
"Huh? Fourth sister, isn't the orchid emerald crested hairpin you wearing on your head just given to the seventh sister by your mother-in-law? Su Ting asked with a hint of banter in her eyes, "Why are you there with the fourth sister?" ”
When she came over, she saw Steward Tao passing by in a hurry with a few servants from the middle courtyard and a small team of guards, and she inquired a little and knew the reason for the matter.
It's just that she really didn't expect her fourth sister to come to greet her with this hairpin so grandly.
Su Ximei looked back, Su Ting was wearing a light blue hibiscus makeup pleated skirt today, lined with her white goose egg face like a jade carving. After greeting her, she moved to the end, as if she was tired of the red tape in front of her, and she looked uninterested.
But at this time, his face was excited, as if he had discovered something new.
In fact, from the time Su Rui entered the door, Su Ximei noticed the hairpin on her head, but she was still thinking about what kind of time to lead the conversation out.
And a sentence from her fifth sister made things easier.
"What orchid crested hairpin?" Su Rui turned her head and glared at Su Ting, her delicate face was slightly swollen red, "This is obviously given to me by Aunt Li, fifth sister, don't talk nonsense!" ”
When Su De heard this, his face sank completely.
Zheng sighed lightly, and Su Xin also shook his head.
Originally, the Li family was greedy for a little cheap, but he was still a person who knew how to measure. The Zheng family previously intended to woo her, just because the Su family and the Li family had a close relationship, and Li Anji held the real power of the military department, and the eldest lord also took great pains to maintain the good relationship between the two families.
Because of this, Zheng also dislikes Li from the bottom of his heart.
Zheng's father, Zheng Hong, is the third grade Taichang Siqing, in charge of the sacrifices of the royal family, and in terms of official rank, he is not inferior to Li Anji, the squire of the military department. But Zheng Hong spent all his energy on his daughter-in-law, and the Zheng family and the Li family of the Pingwuhou Mansion were as close as a family because of their marriage.
In the court, Pingwu Marquis Li Yu has always disagreed with Prime Minister Su De's political views, and Zheng Hong has also publicly supported Li Houye, so that Zheng, who is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is not a person inside and out.
But the eldest master is a brother and sister to Li Shilang, the Zheng family originally had some resentment in his heart, and the Li family's childish nature on weekdays is undoubtedly revealed, and the Zheng family looks down on Li's personality even more.
Su Rui saw that the atmosphere in the room was different, and then saw that her father and Zheng's faces were not very good, so she felt that Su Ting was talking nonsense behind her back, and she was determined to embarrass her! Su Ting rolled her eyes and didn't bother to say a word.
Su Ximei showed a look of surprise on her face, and was busy saluting Su De.
"Father, maybe the daughter remembered it wrongly, those heads were lent by the daughter to the fourth sister." Her eyes looked a little panicked and overwhelmed, but the words she said were quite clear, "The fourth sister said that she would return it to her daughter in two days, but her daughter remembered it wrongly. ”
Isn't this an attempt to cover up?
However, the seven girls said this to protect the face of the Su family.
Su De's face improved slightly, and he looked at the daughter in front of him with some relief.
For many years, he hasn't cared about this daughter properly. After all, it wasn't her fault that she made this appearance.
It's that her life is thin and she can't afford to be extravagant.
Maybe if she is sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, she will slowly get better.
He remembered that the seventh girl was still as well-behaved and cute as a jade carving before she was five years old, and after a serious illness, she was not as good as a year.
Su Rui suddenly stepped forward and pushed Su Ximei, and suddenly shouted with a hideous face: "What are you talking about!" This is obviously Li ......"
"Shut up!"
Suder slapped the table with a slap.
The whole room fell silent, and Su Rui fell to the ground in a trembling tremble, swallowing back the unfinished words.
"Someone!" Su De said in a deep voice, "Fourth Miss is unwell, send her back to the courtyard, and then bring all the jewelry hairpins that Li borrowed from Miss Seven." ”
Su Rui was supported and sent back by the maid in the middle courtyard, and her maid cried all the way and followed behind.
The Li family lives in the Agarwood Pavilion northeast of Jinyuan. The decoration of the Agarwood Pavilion is extremely luxurious, the windows are decorated with Nanyang glass, the bed is a good step bed, the table is a carved peony mahogany table, and there is no place in the room that does not show the identity and status of the owner.
Although the Li family is only a small concubine, her treatment in the mansion is such that even the Zheng family will be blushing when she sees it.
Su Rui was so frightened that her legs and feet were weak, and she couldn't walk by herself at all, so she was dragged all the way to the Agarwood Pavilion by two servants. Seeing this, Li thought that his daughter was being bullied by these two servants, so without saying a word, he rushed up and slapped one of them.
"Who gave you this guts!" She roared angrily, "Do you still take me as a master seriously! ”
The two servants were so stunned that they were stunned on the spot.
Who would have thought that the Li clan would suddenly make a move, and they hadn't had time to dodge it yet!
One of the servant women calmed down, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said expressionlessly: "It was the eldest master who asked the slave maid to send the fourth lady back." ”
Is it the big man?
Li was stunned, obviously not convinced.
"The eldest master asked the slave maid to fetch the head that Miss Seven lent to Aunt Li and Miss Four." The servant woman added in a voice that was indispensable.
Li's vitriol is well-known in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is stingy and calculating, and the maids and women who serve in the Agarwood Pavilion are driven out by injuries every three or five times, but the eldest man turns a blind eye, and they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Li Shi glared at the crying maid on the side, and the maid stammered for most of the day before explaining the truth of the matter. Li's face sank, and then he turned around and went into the house to get a small brocade box from the courtyard of the Seven Girls.
Li stared at the brocade box with unwillingness in his eyes.
That cheap girl is dead, how did she come back to life?
What's more, the appearance of the generation, these precious hairpins and hairpins must not be ruined when they are worn!
The two servant women were silent, and the one who spoke before took the brocade box, and the two servant women saluted indifferently and left in a hurry.
When Li saw them out of the courtyard, he raised his hand and angrily lifted the table, and the porcelain pot and glass cup on the table shattered to the ground.
"It's not over!" She said angrily, a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be about to breathe fire.
