Chapter 14: The Fish Takes the Bait

"Eh, have you heard, Miss Jing San of the Hou Mansion of Qi'an made her own mother-in-law faint alive."

"What nonsense, who doesn't know that Miss Jingsan has a bodhisattva heart, and when is the Houfu soup soup not the third miss working alone?"

Early in the morning, the sun was shining, the sound of chickens in Bianjing City and the sound of the husband's bangzi spread all over the streets and alleys, and the small traders in the city who made a living carried the work guys out early, and several women followed behind their men and whispered.

While speaking, a lady stretched her neck and glanced around, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, the third lady of the Hou Mansion is a living Bodhisattva, she is clearly a little devil star, she just sent two young girls last month, and she threatened to take the most favored aunt in the mansion as soon as she took charge of the house, and some time ago Mrs. Hou was so angry that she fainted, I heard that she had a stroke!" ”

Regarding the rumors that the third lady of the Hou Mansion of Qi'an was a demon or an immortal, Jing Shengwu only laughed after hearing it.

Qinglian puffed out her cheeks and angrily added charcoal to the burning earth dragon, Xu is hand was too urgent, the flame was too strong to rush to the cuffs of Qinglian, Qinglian was so frightened that she took two steps back, almost unable to stabilize her body and carry her head.

"Beware of hurting yourself." Jing Shengwu put down the scroll in his hand and said helplessly.

Qinglian pulled up the sleeve tube that had been burned, and looked a little distressed: "This dress is specially rewarded to the slave maid by the young lady, and it is reluctant to wear it in the cabinet on weekdays, so it is easy to get on the body once." ”

Jing Shengwu smiled lightly when he heard this, and looked at the lake-blue narrow waist skirt on Qinglian's body, which was a good silk, and the expenses of ordinary people's families for half a year were afraid that they could not be worth a horse, so it was no wonder that Qinglian was distressed.

"Look at your little bit of talent, I'll ask Mama Wang to take you to the cloth village outside to pick a few better horses and come back." Jing Shengwu smiled and said with relief.

Qinglian's wrinkled little face stretched a little bit, Jing Shengwu sighed in her heart, in the end, she is a little girl who doesn't know the world, Qinglian has been with her since she was a child, if anyone wants to live and die with her, I'm afraid that there is only Qinglian, and she will not be treated badly.

As he was saying this, he saw a woman wearing a purple and green embroidered Wanxi pattern skirt and a flower gown wearing a hundred flowers outside holding a few boxes and opening curtains, and saw Jing Shengwu crooked on the soft couch, and said: "It's lively outside today, Miss and rest, I'm afraid it won't be quiet for a while." ”

"Is it someone from the West Courtyard?" Jing Shengwu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.

The woman put down the things in her hand and responded: "It's the side concubine of the Imperial Palace, who said that she heard that the lady was not feeling well and came back to take care of it." ”

Jing Shengwu smiled at the corner of her lips: "It's hard for her to deign to come back in person" After finishing speaking, he said to the woman: "It's cold outside, Mama Wang will put down the work in her hand and bake the fire first." ”

This Wang Mama was brought to the East Courtyard by Steward Wang half a month ago, and there were two little girls who looked delicate and lovely together, one called Fengyue, and the other called Xueyue, these days Jing Shengwu has probed the mouth of the Wang housekeeper several times, but the Wang housekeeper is also an old fox, and he refused to let go of half a point.

Thinking of the woman who always smiled like a flower in her memory, gentle and bright, Jing Shengwu's heart warmed up, and she always loved to pinch her nose and call herself Ah Wu when she was a child.

"Ah Wu is so good."

"Our Ah Wu will grow into the most beautiful woman in this Da Chu."

"Ah Wu......" Jing Shengwu was slightly distracted.

"Miss, miss." Qinglian took two steps forward and called softly.

Jing Shengwu gradually retreated from his distant memory, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Concubine Jing sent Xiuhe to pass the word, and she is waiting outside at the moment." Qinglian Road.

Jing Shengwu raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "She is waiting outside?" ”

Xiuhe's temperament Jing Shengwu knows clearly, Guan is a virtue that has nostrils facing the sky for everyone, and he is used to being the most favored lady in the mansion on weekdays, not to mention that today Jing Shengyan has become the only side concubine in the palace.

When the words fell, Qinglian's eyes widened, her eyes were shining, and she said with relief: "It's not that Fengyue is powerful, Miss didn't see what that Xiuhe was like." ”

Jing Shengwu suddenly nodded, and said, "Chuan Xiuhe come in." ”

After a while, three young girls entered the house, the two girls on the right have exquisite facial features, there is a bit of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes, a high-quality Su embroidered skirt on the body, a goose yellow placket and a narrow jacket, it is Xueyue who smiles gently, and it is Fengyue who turns eccentric with her eyes on the side, Fengyue Xueyue is the biological sister of a mother's sibling, but her temperament is really far apart.

The arrogant look on the left is Jing Shengyan's personal maid Xiuhe, Xiuhe glared at Fengyue hatefully, and couldn't help but regurgitate in her heart, the two lowly billets also deserve to wear such good clothes, and they have followed the young lady for so many years, so it is better to follow the two maids who are waiting next to the sick and crooked Jing Shengwu.

"The third lady has been in charge of the family, and the style is different, and the two humble maids even dare to stop the side concubine!" Xiuhe sneered meanly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Feng Yue snorted, and Yin Yang took the conversation in a strange way, and said, "Yo, I've never seen you so brainless, you can scold yourself with you!" You're a, too. ”

Xiuhe was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Bold! I am the person of the side concubine, you dare to insult me, and I will ...... you when I turn around."

"What will she do?" Jing Shengwu's voice was cold, and he looked at Xiuhe with a calm face.

Xiuhe's momentum of calling Jing Shengwu trembled in his heart, and when he remembered what Mama Li had explained, she was busy and froze in place without saying a word.

Seeing this, the corners of Jing Shengwu's lips lifted a sneer, and said: "The concubine Jing in your mouth is the fourth lady of the Jing family when she enters the gate of the Qi'an Hou Mansion, and it can only be the fourth miss of my Jing family. Since she only wants to be her royal concubine, regardless of her mother's family, she doesn't have to say to the outside world that she is the fourth lady of my Qi'an Hou Mansion, I want to see if Jing Shengyan has no surname Jing, and whether she can sit in the position of the royal concubine for a day. ”

Xiuhe's knees were soft when she heard this, and she knelt on the cold ground with a "poof", except for the crackling sound of the fire burning in the earth dragon in the house, no one made a sound, and for a while, Xiuhe only felt that the cool air from her knees froze her bones and hurt, and she couldn't help but say out loud: "The third lady forgives her sins, the slave maid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and she offends the third lady without choosing her words, and the slave and maid are guilty." ”

"Xiuhe, are you quite clear about what I just said?" Jing Shengwu said slowly.

Xiuhe nodded like pounding garlic, and replied repeatedly: "I heard clearly, the slave and maid heard clearly." ”

A faint smile appeared on Jing Shengwu's face, and he said, "It seems that you still haven't heard clearly, so kneel until you are clear." ”

Xiuhe felt bitter in his heart, and there was a pain in his knees, and he didn't dare to despise Jing Shengwu anymore, and he worked hard to think about the deep meaning of Jing Shengwu's words.

There was silence, the lotus scent of the filament-encrusted diamond-encrusted redstone smoker on the incense table was faintly scented through the small ruby-trimmed lid.

About three teas later, Jing Shengwu leaned on the pillow and pretended to sleep, the wind and the moon and the snow moon and Qinglian and Mama Wang were busy with the work in their hands, and no one paid attention to Xiuhe who was kneeling on the side, as if this person did not exist.

Xiuhe's legs were so numb and icy that he lost consciousness, and if he knelt down again, he was afraid that his legs would be useless, Xiuhe was anxious, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Jing Shengwu, and said loudly: "Slave, let's go and ask the fourth lady to come over!" ”

When the words fell, Jing Shengwu raised a light smile on his lips and said slowly: "Go." ”

With just these two words, Xiuhe endured severe pain as if he had been amnestied, stood up and limped out.

"Miss......" Seeing Xiuhe come out of the house, Qinglian couldn't help but be curious and said loudly.

Feng Yue chuckled and interrupted Qinglian's unspoken words: "Sister Qinglian is really a sincere person. ”

Rao is Qinglian thought straight and saw that Fengyue was joking with herself, puffed out her cheeks and snorted, but she didn't ask anymore.

Xue Yue stood aside and smiled lightly, and said: "Miss just said that Concubine Jing can only be Miss Jing Si when she enters the Hou Mansion, so how can there be a reason why the stepdaughter does not ask the eldest daughter to ask for peace but asks the eldest sister of the Yan family in the mansion to see her." ”

Hearing this, Qinglian suddenly let out an "ah", and the room was full of warm laughter.
