In the Hele Hall, the Bai family accompanied Liu Wanqing with a gloomy face, looking like someone owed her tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, Liu Shihua beat her favorite maid Qiaoyun like that, and she was really stricter than owing her tens of thousands of taels of silver, she was not distressed by Qiaoyun, but Liu Shihua dared to touch her person, how could she swallow this breath.

"Mother, the second sister is too much this time, how can she punish the girl under her mother casually, and beat her so hard. If this continues, the people in the house should think that she is the housewife of the Liu family. Liu Daimeng is holding grievances for the Bai family.

Liu Daimeng is the daughter of the Liu family, since she was a child, she studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and when she was less than ten years old, she became famous in Jiangnan and was known as the first talented girl in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan has been a place for talented women since ancient times, and it is a great honor to be able to get the reputation of the first talented woman in Jiangnan.

"Big sister, you can't say that, we all know that the second sister has always had a gentle temperament, and today's incident must have happened for a reason." A demure girl sitting on Liu Daimeng's right hand said lightly.

This girl is Liu Yingxue, the fourth daughter of the Liu family, when Liu Shuang'er had an accident, she was only two years old, perhaps because she was the youngest daughter in the family, Liu Wanqing and the Bai family both doted on her. Liu Yingxue has a gentle temperament, no quarrel or jealousy, even Liu Shihua likes her very much, of course, another reason why Liu Shihua likes her is that she regards Liu Yingxue as Liu Shuang'er's stand-in, and she compensates for Liu Shuang'er's guilt.

Liu Daimeng glared at Liu Yingxue fiercely and was silent, she also doted on this sister very much, and she didn't want to quarrel with her.

Liu Shihua slowly entered from outside the door under everyone's gaze, she walked in front of Liu Wanqing unhurriedly, and blessed her body slightly, "I've seen my father, I've seen my wife." ”

Bai Shi snorted coldly and looked at Liu Shihua unpleasantly.

"Dad, madam, is there anything to do with the poetry and painting?" Liu Shihua looked at Liu Wanqing innocently, as if she didn't know anything.

Bai Shi didn't speak, and glared at Liu Wanqing with slanted eyes, meaning to say, this is your good daughter, you can discipline it yourself!

In the Liu family, it is nominally Liu Wanqing who is in charge, but in fact, Liu Wanqing has to listen to some opinions of the Bai family on internal and external matters. The Bai family was born in a famous family, and his mother's family was quite powerful, and Liu Wanqing needed to rely on the power of the Bai family to climb up step by step, so he almost obeyed the Bai family, or rather, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Liu Wanqing asked with a calm face, "Shihua, I heard that you beat Qiaoyun?" ”

"That's right, my daughter did punish her a little."

"Are you a small punishment and a big commandment? Qiaoyun was almost crippled by you. You lynched her, didn't you take me, the housewife, into account? Bai Shi was furious and raised his voice. But in the end, everyone is from a beautiful background, although it is angry, it is still elegant.

Liu Shihua pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Why is Madam so angry, Shihua punishes Qiaoyun completely for Madame's reputation." ”

Due to the presence of Liu Wanqing and the subordinates, Bai Shi did not say anything excessive, but forced out a little smile and asked patiently, "Then you can tell me, what mistake did Qiaoyun make?" If the reason is unreasonable, you have violated the family rules of the Liu family by abusing your private behavior against your subordinates, and I believe that the master will deal with it impartially. ”

Liu Shihua waved his hand and asked Miaochun to bring up the embroidery sent by the Bai family. The embroidery has been broken into dozens of pieces according to Liu Shihua's instructions, and Liu Shihua asked Miaochun to choose a few pieces that were clean and not stained with blood.

"Dad, look at these pieces of embroidery, Qiaoyun said that this is a congratulatory gift prepared by Mrs. for her daughter to her father, do you believe it?"

Bai Shi looked down at it, drawing a soul in her heart, she suddenly felt that she had underestimated this girl's ability before, and looking at today's posture, she was a rebellion!

"......" Liu Wanqing was silent.

Believe it or not, this question really made Liu Wanqing unable to answer. If it is said that this is a congratulatory gift prepared by Bai for Liu Shi's painting, it is not impossible. Over the years, although Liu Wanqing didn't say it, he knew very well in his heart that the things that Liu Shihua sent that could not be put on the table were all Bai's masterpieces.

"How could it be, how could my mother prepare such a gift for the second sister, there must be some misunderstanding here." Liu Dai dreamed that Bai was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly opened her mouth to relieve her.

Liu Shihua smiled, "Yes, it seems that the eldest sister thinks the same as Shihua, Madame will definitely not let people send such inferior things, Shihua dared to guess that it was Qiaoyun who didn't know whether to live or die and swallowed the gift that Madame carefully prepared for me and exchanged it for this worthless thing." While speaking, Liu Shihua peeked at Bai's face, and the ground was blue and purple for a while, which made Liu Shihua feel very good-looking.

"Dad, this is a change of things, it is small to be greedy for a few dollars, but if my daughter is negligent and believes Qiaoyun's nonsense, everyone thinks that Mrs. is so stingy, wouldn't it ruin Mrs.'s reputation. The daughter was also anxious, in order to protect her wife's reputation, she ...... only punished Qiaoyun, if his father and wife felt that the poetry and painting were wrong, the poetry and painting were willing to be punished. ”

As he spoke, Liu Shihua, who was originally upright, pretended to be delicate, and seemed to have been greatly wronged.

Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and looked at Bai, "Madam, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”

Bai Shi bit his lip and reluctantly spit out a sentence, "Although the poetry and painting are a little reckless, it is true that Qiaoyun is at fault first, so let this matter pass, but, poetry, you have to change your reckless nature." ”

Bai can only do this, if she still insists on punishing Liu Shihua at this time, it is tantamount to saying that the inferior embroidery is indeed what she meant. Although everyone has long known this matter, it is not a glorious thing to make it clear.

"Poetry and painting keep in mind the teachings of Mrs., but the father's birthday gift is not worrying Mrs. Lao, and the poetry and painting will be prepared." A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Shihua's mouth, which was very good-looking.

And Bai's face was ugly and scary, and it was really embarrassing for the housewife to fall in front of her concubine.

"Miss, seeing that the master's birthday is coming, what are your plans for gifts?" Leaving the Harmony Hall, Miao Chun asked with some concern.

"I heard that Mei's "Drunk Lying Qin Huai" was bought by the boss of Zhihuazhai, and I plan to give that painting as a gift, what do you think?"

"Drunk and Lying in Qinhuai" depicts the scene of Qinhuai's red boat, and there are seven beauties in this painting, led by Liu Shihua's mother Lan Niang. At that time, Lan Niang's dancing skills were superb, causing a sensation in Jiangnan, and she was the first of the Qinhuai dancers. However, it is said that this Mei Dumping has not seen Lan Niang, but made this painting according to the description, Liu Wanqing has seen this painting, at first sight, he can't put it down, and he praised this painting again and again for restoring Lan Niang's nine points of charm.

Miaochun frowned, "Miss, I heard that Mei's painting is sky-high, and the master of this painting fell in love a few years ago, but due to the high price and the owner's refusal to sell, it has not been fulfilled." Miss's monthly silver is only a little bit, and Madame often deducts it, how can we have the money to buy that painting! ”

Liu Shihua was not worried, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, "Don't you know your young lady's skills?" Ten days later, there was the Qin Huai Fighting Dance, and the winner was rewarded with five thousand taels of silver. ”

"Miss is going to participate?" Miao Chun's eyes widened.

Liu Shihua nodded lightly and put out a smug smile.
