Chapter 123: The Origin of the Scandal
Crouching Tiger Xuanli had just finished lunch, Xia Yu brought the little maid to deliver something, but after explaining it, he didn't leave, but quietly pulled Qiu Yue aside.
Qiuyue had already listened to An Yixin carefully talk about what happened in the old lady's house in the morning, and at this moment, seeing Xia Yu's eyes shining, she looked like she was going to gossip well, so she drove the little maids in the kitchen out, called An Yixin, put snacks and tea, and sat around the long table.
An Yixin was just about to tell Xia Yu about the morning, when Chunhua and Dongxue walked in.
An Yixin couldn't help it, and just poured tea for spring flowers and winter snow, lotus leaves and lotus flowers walked in again.
The eldest lady's four big maids and Lu Yunrou's eldest maid were far more familiar than An Yixin, and they all laughed when they saw the lotus leaf and lotus flower.
Lotus Leaf and Lotus also smiled, "Wait a minute, my young lady is also here, and she is talking to Shen Gongzi in the courtyard, and she will come over immediately." ”
Qiu Yue is master, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up, "Miss Yunrou is here, so you can't sit here anymore, or go to my house?" ”
Lotus leaf and lotus reached out at the same time and pulled her to sit down, "Don't make trouble, everyone just quietly say a few words and leave." As she spoke, Lu Yunrou had already walked in with Shen Yu.
Qiu Yue hurriedly saluted, and Lu Yunrou waved her hand, "I've been waiting for you to tell me, but you haven't come, so I had to find it myself." ”
Didn't you just finish eating, and you came here in such a hurry? Qiu Yue thought in her heart, and wanted to ask Lu Yunrou to sit in the house, but Lu Yunrou had already squeezed a place among her maids and sat down, looked at the snacks on the table, and reached out to pick up a jujube and walnut.
A table of people sat down, An Yixin re-talked about the morning's events, and just after a few words, he was interrupted by Chunhua, and his slender hand slapped on the table, as if he was a storyteller, "You don't have much to listen to, so listen to me." ”
She looked delicate and heroic, and everyone laughed and urged together: "What did you hear again, tell me quickly." ”
"The eldest lady sent the chief steward and the two housekeepers to inquire about the news. It just so happened that Aunt Zhou took Young Master Yunda to ask for pearls to make buttons for Young Master Yunda, and when she heard the eldest lady say this, she quietly took my hand, saying that when she entered the palace the day before yesterday to ask for peace for her mother, she heard someone say this, and she had already inquired about it. ”
The room was full of surprise, and Qiu Yue blurted out, "It seems that this time Aunt Wen didn't talk nonsense, and it really spread all over the capital, and even the palace was talking about it." ”
Chunhua nodded, and then continued: "I saw that Aunt Zhou was serious, and I didn't dare to hide it, so I took her to the eldest lady and the little lady Wang to follow. Aunt Zhou said......" She paused at this point, and suddenly pointed to Qiuyue, "Aunt Zhou said that Qiuyue is the worst dead girl, don't pour tea when you should pour tea, don't take dim sum when you should take dim sum, you will be stunned to listen to gossip with big eyes." ”
Being pointed at by Chunhua, Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand why Aunt Zhou suddenly said a stick on her head, seeing that she was stunned, everyone in the room laughed.
The girl's laughter was crisp and sweet, coming out of the kitchen. Lu Yunshen was reading a book in the main room, and suddenly heard laughter, and couldn't help frowning. He didn't care that the maids were laughing noisily when they got together, but he just heard that many people were laughing, why didn't Yixin laugh? Could it be that everyone is laughing at her?
Lu Yunshen was about to get up subconsciously, but he heard An Yixin's voice changing tone with a smile, "Qiuyue, Sister Chunhua has picked on you, why don't you pour her tea quickly." ”
Lu Yunshen sat back again.
There was a lot of laughter in the kitchen, some people urged Qiuyue to pour tea, but more people urged Chunhua to say quickly.
It turned out to be talking about the gossip in the morning again. Lu Yunshen thought in his heart, no longer paid attention to those jokes, and looked down at the book.
Chunhua laughed for a while, then glanced at everyone again, corrected the color, and continued. According to Aunt Zhou, although the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has never married a concubine for the sake of fame, he has been secretly covering up with his wife's dowry maid for the past 20 years. Of course, his wife knew about it. ”
"That maid has served her wife since she was a child, and she has taken her wife's surname, also surnamed Wang, and her name is Xiaoqiu, so everyone calls her Miss Xiaoqiu. Miss Xiaoqiu is a little stupid. She is the same age as her wife, and she is also forty years old this year. According to her own words, since she married with her wife, she fell in love with the master and lost her body, but she has been suppressed by her wife for more than 20 years, and she is still just a maid at the age of forty. ”
Although Miss Xiaoqiu was unhappy, she also endured it. Although the lady can't stop the old man from climbing her bed, the lady takes care of her maid, as long as she is more vigilant, nothing serious will happen. It's just that I didn't expect Mrs. Wang to guard against it for more than 20 years, and finally a hundred secrets, a few months ago, Miss Xiaoqiu suddenly found out that she was pregnant. ”
"Lord Shangshu had a son in his old age, and he was happy in his heart, and this time he insisted on accepting Miss Xiaoqiu as a concubine, so that she could give birth to the child in a straightforward manner. But Mrs. Wang refused to live or die, and she was ruthless, and a fetal pill was forcefully poured down, which not only killed the child in Miss Xiaoqiu's belly, but also almost killed Miss Xiaoqiu. ”
"Miss Xiaoqiu has endured it for so many years, but this time she can't be foolish anymore. She has been serving her wife since she was a child, and at this point, she shook off the secrets of the year. ”
When Chunhua said this, her slender hand slapped it the table again, and then glanced at the people who were shocked on the table, "Guess, who is the father of that prince?" ”
Everyone was 'ah', "You say that, that prince is really ......"
"Of course, what Miss Xiaoqiu said is true, and it can't be true." Chunhua smiled, "But the fly in the ointment is that that person has been dead for more than ten years, and not only is he dead, but even his parents died early and late, and there is no proof of real death." ”
Everyone gasped. "Who the hell is it?" Shen Yu asked.
"It's Mrs. Wang's cousin." Chunhua smiled, looking at everyone's eyes wide with satisfaction, and let out another 'ah'.
"The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is a son of a poor family, and he has come to his current status step by step, while Mrs. Wang's maiden family is a big family, although it has fallen, but the poetry and rites are heirlooms, and there are really a lot of handsome and talented people among the children."
According to Miss Xiaoqiu, this cousin of Mrs. Wang is a handsome person with a sensitive and delicate mind. This cousin's father died young, and he had only one widowed mother, and his family was very poor. At that time, Mrs. Wang's mother felt sorry for this cousin, and she took care of food and clothing. came and went, but this cousin paid all his deep attention to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang likes her cousin's handsomeness, but she thinks her cousin's family is poor, and she knows that this affair is inappropriate, so she has been dodging and never agreed. ”
Mrs. Wang married innocently, and her family didn't know that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and docile, was still admired by her cousin. But this cousin is a deep person, and he never forgets it, so he takes the opportunity to visit Mrs. Wang every once in a while. Mrs. Wang also had affection in her heart, but she was careful and did not dare to really do anything. (To be continued.) )
