The next day, Zhu Yue went to greet the old lady, and the old lady stayed to eat together. Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Ding accompanied the old lady to dinner, and Aunt Rong and Zhu Bi sat next to them, and Mrs. Guo's first-class maidservant Chunhe served the meal on the side.

Zhu Bi combed the newly popular flowers in the palace, wore a jade swallow and spit beads and gold hairpins, and wore exquisite makeup, and was dressed in the auspicious cloud flowing color Shu brocade shirt that had just been paid tribute in the palace, and the peony blossom precious cloud smoke skirt, and the rich and noble daughter of the whole body, she looked at the concubine Yi'an who had nothing to do on the side, and felt a different kind of pride.

After everyone had eaten, they sat in front of the old lady and told jokes, and at this time, the maid Yu walked in and said: "Old lady, Mrs. Wang of Nangong Mansion sent someone to send an invitation card to invite the young ladies to participate in the orchid banquet the day after tomorrow." ”

The old lady raised her head and glanced at the invitation, nodded and said, "Tell that person to go the day after tomorrow." Reward two ingots of broken silver. ”

"Yes." Shiyu stepped back.

Aunt Rong took the opportunity to say: "Mother, the banquet in Nangong Mansion is unusual, I heard that the son of the family and a few celebrities will also go, and the mother will take her grandchildren to go, can the girls in our family be as knowledgeable as Bi'er, you look at Yi'an, if you dress up like this, won't you be laughed at as a phoenix and a chicken?" ”

Zhu Bi listened to Aunt Rong stepping on Yi'an, and she was very proud.

"That's right." The old lady nodded, looked back at Zhu Yue, and said lightly, "Why haven't you seen any of your mother's jewelry for you?" ”

Although those jewelry were given by Mrs. Guo and the old lady also sent them, they all asked Mrs. Liu to pawn the silver to play gambling cards, because Mrs. Liu was Mrs. Guo's fellow villager who accompanied Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Guo had never turned a blind eye, and she did not dare to sue.

Finally got a chance to vent.

Zhu Xuan said timidly: "The old lady and mother gave it, and let Aunt Liu keep it." ”

Aunt Liu?

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she already understood a little in her heart, her face was ugly, and she said: "Aunt Liu is a proper maidservant, the old lady can rest assured, Ming'er will let Aunt Liu help Yi'an put it on." ”

When the old lady heard this, she originally wanted to open her eyes and close her eyes, but who thought that Mrs. Guo had just finished speaking, but Aunt Liu was stunned and poked her head outside.

The old lady saw it and called her, but she couldn't retract her feet, so she had to step forward and obey orders.

The old lady said, "Do you keep the girl's jewelry?" ”

As soon as she heard the jewelry, Aunt Liu shouted in her heart that it was not good, and the jewelry had not been redeemed yet, so she said in panic: "Back to the old lady, it is the maidservant who keeps it." ”

"Girl's outfit is a dereliction of duty." The old lady said.

Aunt Liu knelt down and said, "Old, madam, the maid persuaded the girl, but the girl didn't listen, and the maid couldn't do anything." ”

Zhu Xuan sneered in her heart, Aunt Liu put all the sins on her, why can't she go to heaven.

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she was disgusted and said: "Yi'an, this is your mistake, the old lady wants to watch her granddaughters show off, don't you deliberately make the old lady unhappy, and let outsiders make irresponsible remarks, saying that it is not my mother-in-law." Ming'er listened to Aunt Liu's words and dressed up. ”

Yi'an was just about to argue, but Aunt Rong suddenly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, why wait for tomorrow, let Aunt Liu wear it for the girl now, the hairpin sent by Bi'er is good, I remember that it is a pair, and there is another branch sent to Yi'an, Aunt Liu went to get it, I personally put it on for Yi'an, so that the old lady can be happy." ”

Aunt Liu's face changed suddenly, looking at Mrs. Guo's companion Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu hurriedly shook her head and motioned her not to admit it first.

Mrs. Guo smiled faintly and said, "It's too late this day, why bother, let's wear it again tomorrow." The old lady likes it and is not in a hurry at this time. ”

Mrs. Ding, who had not spoken, stepped in the air, smiled without smiling, and said: "Eldest sister, I look at the face of the servant woman, eighty percent of the girl's jewelry is used as gambling money, and she can't take it out for a while." I don't believe you told her to fetch it now. ”

As soon as he spoke, the whole audience changed color.

The old lady waited tirelessly for Mrs. Guo to speak, and Mrs. Guo hated Mrs. Ding a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart.

Mrs. Ding is the concubine of King Pei, who has been in the house for many years, and has already given birth to two brothers, the fourth son Yue Ji and the fifth son Yue Zong, but when she is being favored, the old lady also likes her. Mrs. Ding's heart has 10,000 thoughts, and Mrs. Guo can't handle it, so she has to show it on the surface, and she is guilty of a knife behind her back.

But Mrs. Ding can't get used to Mrs. Guo's hypocrisy, she is used to making scenes, this concubine is born after three disasters and eight disasters, the child's mother Fang Ji was degraded to a cheap concubine because of Mrs. Guo's sake, and then Fang Ji didn't know why she lost her heart and went crazy, this concubine has suffered a lot since she got it back, Mrs. Ding thought to herself, if her child lost her mother, I don't know what the situation would be in the future.

If you don't get rid of the other, you will be removed by the other!

Mrs. Ding fought with her to protect herself.

Mrs. Guo said calmly: "Aunt Liu has always been interested in Yi'an, it is impossible to do this kind of thing, you don't have nothing to do in front of the old lady." Wear it tomorrow. ”

"Eldest sister, keep delaying until tomorrow, could it be that the eldest sister knows about Aunt Liu's pawn and ignores it? Or do you connive at the maidservant to bully the girl? Mrs. Ding sneered, and in a word, Mrs. Guo's face became more and more ugly.

Zhu Bi hurriedly defended her mother and said: "Mother is in charge of the daily affairs of the house, how can she ask one by one, the servants occasionally overstep the rules, deceive the superiors and subordinates, if the aunt knows, she should report it in time and assist the mother." ”

Zhu Bi didn't expect that his words had confirmed Aunt Liu's bullying.

Aunt Rong deliberately helped her sister-in-law refute Mrs. Ding, and said with a light smile: "My sister-in-law has always been close to Yi'an, Mrs. Ding can't slander her sister-in-law, please be cautious when you speak." The old lady is here, you can't help spewing blood, you say pawning and bullying, you have to talk about evidence, if there is no evidence, you are framing your sister-in-law for injustice. ”

Mrs. Guo looked at Aunt Liu on the ground, and the fire in her eyes could burn her!

"Princess, is it to frame Mrs., just ask Mrs. Liu to take it." Mrs. Ding snorted coldly.

Aunt Rong disagreed: "I believe my sister-in-law's words, just ask the maid next to the girl, if they all say that Aunt Liu didn't do such a thing, I will believe it." You don't have to go to great lengths to get it, and it's not too late to wear it tomorrow. ”

Aunt Rong's words are obviously biased towards Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Ding miscalculated, her face turned gloomy, and she asked those maids what was the use?

All of them are Mrs. Guo's eyeliner!

Mrs. Ding sneered: "It's better to ask the maidservant than to ask the party, the girl is sitting here, but she doesn't dare to tell the truth." It can be seen how well Mrs. Guo treats the girl on weekdays, so she keeps the girl shut. ”

Yi An looked at Mrs. Guo's deep eyes, and had to say, "I haven't noticed these things. ”

"Look, old lady, what a good girl she is, she is too frightened to speak." Mrs. Ding hurriedly took the opportunity to say, which was very much in line with Zhu Xuan's wishes.

Mrs. Guo was so angry that her face turned purple.

The old lady said lightly: "Tell the girls to come over." ”

After a while, the four maidservants of Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang, and Dongxiang were led in, and a few people didn't know what was going on, so they knelt on the ground in a daze and bowed.
