Chapter 579: Gift-giving
Xingyu looked around, in fact, there were only two of their masters and servants in the carriage, she whispered: "That day you greeted Mrs. Mao, but Mrs. Mao only nodded at you and walked over, although you didn't care, but when you and Princess Shou talked, I heard the two ladies say that Mrs. Mao was arrogant, and said that even Princess Rui could take it and ignore it, no wonder she had no heirs, and then one of the ladies whispered, not no, but not her." The other lady asked what was going on, and the previous lady said that the old grandfather had raised an outer room outside from her, and that the outer room gave birth to a son, and said that there was nothing more powerful than this. “
Linglong chuckled, she had heard Yan Xu talk about this matter, and Yan Xu also wanted to use this matter to let Mrs. Mao do something for him.
Maybe it was the will of heaven in the dark, Yan Xu actually sent someone to inquire about the affairs of the Duke of Chu, and dug out the unsightly secret of the old prince.
Since the old grandfather has been hiding it for so many years, outsiders will not know about it.
Yan Xu has his own intelligence network, and it is not uncommon to be able to inquire about it.
But Linglong didn't expect that such a secret matter would now become an idle conversation among the wives inside and outside.
Who actually put this out of the news?
Is it Yan Xu?
It won't be him.
His subordinates were not raised for nothing, and since he had decided not to use Mrs. Mao anymore, even if he thought that the matter of giving birth to a child in the outer room was worthless, he would not spread the matter.
This is harmful to others and not to himself, and it is not good for him, for the impostor, or for the Gao family.
Yan Xu is inextricably linked with the Mao family, and he can't completely break away from the Mao family now, and in this case, it is even more impossible for him to reveal the news.
Linglong couldn't figure it out, and she was a little frustrated.
The Mansion of the Duke of Chu is located in Yangshu Hutong, and when the exquisite carriage arrived, he saw a black painted flat-topped carriage walking towards the entrance of the alley.
The lantern on the carriage has the word Linjiang written on it.
The carriage of the Marquis of Linjiang.
Linglong immediately thought of the Marquis of Linjiang, the Gao family.
Gao is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu, and it is reported that she has a bad relationship with her stepmother, Mrs. Mao, and rarely walks around with her parents' family, so she didn't expect to return to her parents' house today.
Although Linglong is very close to the Marquis of Linjiang, she has no good impression of this housewife.
Human feelings are a very interesting thing.
The first impression can often affect the subsequent perception.
This is the case with Linglong against Gao.
The first time she saw the Gao family was when Jin Chang was brought back from the Red Sleeve Hutong by the Dong family, when the Gao family brought his daughter-in-law Gan to the Jin family's West Mansion to ask about the crime, and she looked unforgiving.
Linglong doesn't like such people very much.
Although she has no crush on Jin Chang, she also doesn't like Gao's aggressive and condescending attitude.
Maybe the Gao family also felt a little awkward, but later Linglong married into the palace and often had dealings with the Dong family, Gao's attitude was very subtle, he was very good to Linglong, and sometimes he had to be kind.
This is also one of the reasons why Linglong is disgusted with her.
If you're strong, you'll always be strong, and if you're high, you'll always be high.
There's no need, after I became a princess, I changed my expression and greeted me carefully.
In addition, Linglong's impression of Mrs. Mao is very good, and when she learned that the relationship between Gao and Mrs. Mao was not good, she instinctively stood on Mrs. Mao's side, and she was a little more disgusted with Gao, who was her stepdaughter.
It wasn't until Gao's carriage disappeared around the corner of the alley that Linglong's carriage stopped in front of the Guogong Mansion.
Li Sheng sent a name sticker.
After a cup of tea, this famous card was already in the hands of Mrs. Mao.
"Jin Min?"
This is Kim Min's famous post.
The little guy standing outside the curtain said respectfully: "The person who came said that it was the daughter-in-law of Lord Jin." ”
The doubt on Madame Mao's face disappeared, replaced by a sluggishness.
Although Master Jin San has three daughters, the only one who can call himself a son-in-law is his daughter-in-law, Jin Wu.
Golden Five
Mrs. Mao picked up the teacup, the green tea was crystal clear, she took a sip and swallowed it with difficulty.
How did she get here?
To see, or not to see?
Mrs. Mao thought about it and said to the little girl: "Just say that I am unwell and not suitable to see guests, please ask her not to do it another day, just say that I am not in the house recently, please let her not use it." ”
The little guy promised, but he was very embarrassed in his heart.
Such a clear refusal, isn't this a slap in the face?
He returned to the door with some embarrassment and repeated what Madame Mao had said.
Li Sheng relayed to Linglong through the carriage, Xingyu was surprised, why is this Mrs. Mao like this, when you are in the palace, you just ignore my princess, because you have to pretend there. But now the princess has come to visit your house in person, but you still don't see you, isn't this bullying? “
"Princess, let's go, don't pay attention to Mrs. Mao when you see her in the future, this person really doesn't know what to do, can't he often go to chat with the queen? What's so big about this, this man is too frivolous. ”
Linglong glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Mao is dignified and generous, how can you say frivolous." ”
Xingyu pouted, she was really unlucky today, she had been reprimanded by the princess several times for the sake of this Mrs. Mao.
Seeing her pouting, Linglong smiled and gave her an autumn plum, and said, "You, always like a child, eat the plum and give me a gift." ”
"Gift-giving?" Xingyu asked while eating plums.
Linglong smiled and took out a purse from her sleeve.
This purse was not embroidered by her, but an object in the sewing room in the house.
"Do you want to send this purse to Mrs. Mao? What if she doesn't accept it? Xingyu asked.
Linglong smiled and shook her head: "You tell that little guy, just say that if Mrs. Mao doesn't accept it, let her open it and take a look." ”
Xingyu agreed to get out of the carriage, and after about a stick of incense, Xingyu came back.
"Princess, I really let you say it, Mrs. Mao didn't accept it at first, but then she opened this purse and accepted it, and rewarded me with ten taels of silver."
As he spoke, Xingyu took out a bright silver ingot.
Linglong smiled: "Miss Xingyu has made a fortune. ”
Xingyu was a little embarrassed, and whispered to Linglong: "With these ten taels, I have saved a total of one hundred taels of silver." ”
Linglong was also taken aback, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl like Xingyu can save a hundred taels of silver, which is really rare.
It's not surprising to think about.
As soon as Linglong is generous, plus Xingyu is her eldest maid and sister milk, Yan Xu also has a high opinion of Xingyu, and she usually has a lot of rewards.
Second, Xingyu is a very thrifty person, she used to live a thrifty life with Linglong in the old house, and she had no chance to spend money on food and clothing.
