Old Madam Jian heard her use Zhou Shu and Xueqin as an excuse to shirk it, and a sneer stained with mockery appeared on her lips, "Xueqin is just a servant, and being able to be a concubine for her grandson-in-law is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes." Besides, she has always been obedient, as long as you allow it, she has no reason not to be.

As for the grandson-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. Which man is not? Even if you say you don't want to, if you help him accept it, he will still accept it. What's more, Xueqin is literate and hyphenated, her appearance is not bad, and she has a spicy energy, how can her grandson-in-law not like it?

I heard that you have already taken four concubines for your grandson-in-law, and it doesn't matter if you carry one more Xueqin. ”

The corners of Jian Ying's mouth curled and she laughed softly.

Old Madam Jane's eyes lit up, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I laughed at my grandmother, and this doesn't stand up to scrutiny." Jian Ying smiled unabated, "Just like you said, I have already taken four concubines for the second young master, it doesn't matter if you have more Xueqin, and it doesn't matter if you have less Xueqin, why should I send someone who works for me to my husband's bed?" ”

The corner of Old Madam Jane's eyes twitched slightly, "If you are afraid of a shortage of manpower, I can pick a few more well-behaved and clever ones from me and send them over for you to call." ”

Jian Ying smiled, "Grandmother Xie's love, I don't lack people to call, what I lack is someone who treats me as a close relative." ”

"What do you mean by that?" A slight anger appeared on Old Madam Jane's face.

"Grandmother, can I sit down?" Jian Ying answered the question.

Old Madam Jian stared at her with a heavy face, not for sure. I can't say for sure.

Jian Ying only took her permission and sat down on the chair by herself, raising her eyes and looking at her with a smile, "If Grandmother really treats me as flesh and blood, she won't give me a disappointment as soon as she gets home."

I understand, don't you just think I'm a person who is not easy to control, and you want to put an eyeliner next to me and watch my every move?

Because Xueqin is loyal to me, you think she has betrayed you, and you are going to push her against me. borrow my hand to punish her. Let her know how foolish it is to betray you and choose me.

In order for me to treat her as an enemy, you even said something provocative like 'how could your grandson-in-law not like it'.

Grandmother, forgive your granddaughter for being disrespectful and telling the truth that you don't like -- don't you think you're a little disrespectful to the elderly? ”

Old Madame Jane was furious. There was a cold glow in the slender eyes. "You're so daring. How dare you talk to me like that?! ”

"Grandmother is angry." Jian Ying smiled without blinking, "My granddaughter never fights with others, only fights with reason." If the truth is on the grandmother's side. Why should my grandmother be angry?

Grandmother also said just now, I am still the daughter of the Jian family when I am married, and I am closely related to the Jian family, sharing weal and woe. In the past two years, what have I done to damage the interests of the Jane family, do you think that I am not qualified as the daughter of the Jane family? Didn't you?

Since there is none, what is the difference between Xueqin's loyalty to me and her loyalty to you? Why do you think she's betraying you?

It can be seen that my grandmother does not regard me as a close relative in her heart, and she distrusts me very much, and she has to hold me in the palm of her hand to feel safe. ”

Old Madame Jane's eyes flickered slightly, and she stared at her thoughtfully.

Jian Ying could feel that her heart had loosened a little, and she struck while the iron was hot: "The biggest advantage of me is to be reasonable, as long as others don't come to harm me, I will never take the initiative to harm others." If someone comes to harm me, I will not sit still and let others bully.

Although I was never really raised by my grandmother, I was tied to my grandmother from the moment I was chosen. If I do something bad or be bullied, won't I smear my grandmother's face?

On the other hand, to blacken my grandmother's face is tantamount to belittling me, and I will never do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to myself.

I am reasonable, knowledgeable about current affairs, a little clever, and well versed in the true meaning of contentment. Even if it's not in the palm of my grandmother's hand, but it's within my grandmother's reach, what does my grandmother have to worry about me? ”

The cold anger on Old Madam Jane's face melted away little by little, and by the time she finished speaking, she had completely regained her calm, "You really have a clever mouth that can speak well. ”

At the end of the conversation, there was a soft snort, but there was no element of annoyance, and there was a faint smile.

Jian Ying knew that she was moving her, and her smile became brighter and brighter, "Grandmother has won the award, and her granddaughter just said a few heart-wrenching words." If there is anything that offends your grandmother and makes her unhappy, please forgive her. ”

With that, he got up and said a deep blessing to her.

Mrs. Jian said "um", which was regarded as accepting her apology, "It's not too early, let's go ahead, don't let the big guy wait." ”

"Yes." Jian Ying stood up straight, took Mrs. Jian's arm affectionately, and came out with her.

Old Madam Jian has not been broken by her side, and Xueqin can only follow from a distance, so she has to come up and kowtow at this time.

"Get up." Old Madam Jian said without anger, "I heard Xiao Liu'er say that you have done a very good job, and you will serve your master more wholeheartedly in the future, remember?" ”

Several people responded "yes" in unison, and the big girl Jade Flute next to Mrs. Jian rewarded each of them with a silver purse of one or two on behalf of Mrs. Jian, and several people kowtowed and thanked each of them, and then stood up.

In addition to the purse, Xueqin also received an additional spiritual reward.

She had never seen Mrs. Jane smile so kindly at her, she felt her heart pounding, and she couldn't help but wonder if Mrs. Jane's smile had a deep meaning. Feeling uneasy along the way was worse than scolding her or slapping her.

In Jiyue Hall, everyone has sat down, talking and laughing, so lively. When Mrs. Jane sat down at the chair, the table was opened.

Mrs. Jian and Mrs. Xifu sat side by side, talking happily, and there was no suspicion between the two concubines. The ladies of the East and West Mansions were like butterflies wearing flowers, and they took turns to toast the two old ladies. The masters, young masters and aunts also came to meet in batches by toasting.

Wine and delicacies, staggered, smiling and smiling, the banquet lasted until Shen Shi dispersed.

On the way back to the palace, Xueqin couldn't help but ask Jian Ying, "Second Young Lady, what did the old lady tell you?" ”

Jian Ying has been clean for a while, and she participated in a banquet coldly, only to feel a sore back, dizzy, and leaning on the car seat with her eyes closed, and when she asked, she replied casually: "Grandmother asked me to carry you to the second young master as a concubine." ”

"What?!" Xueqin was shocked, stunned for a moment, rolled off the saddle, and stepped forward to hug her legs, "Second young lady, help, the slave doesn't want to be a concubine." ”
