Chapter 38: The Contest
Thank you for the peace charm of An Yumeng.
"Madam, Sanniang really doesn't know about Fluttershy's affairs, if Mrs. Tai wants to punish Fluttershy and send Fluttershy away, why do you still punish Sanniang so heavily?" Mama Xu took out the flowing gold and jade step in the mahogany inlaid gold hollow dressing box, carefully pinned it in the mirror between Su's sideburns, looked at it for a moment, and continued, "The girl's family is thin-skinned, and Sanniang is a lively and lively person, but now she has been grounded for no reason, and now Sanniang may not be sad now!" ”
The Su family has taken great care of the two concubines under their name over the years, and they haven't even said a word of seriousness, let alone punishment.
Mrs. Tai was punished a little harshly this time.
Mama Xu pouted.
"Having said that, when it comes to Erlang's daughter-in-law, I can't say anything more." Su Shi stared at himself in the mirror, although his complexion was still fair and smooth, but after all, he was already a, and there were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, so he couldn't help sighing, and said, "Sanniang has been punished, Jing Siyuan, what is the movement?" ”
Although the woman has been grounded all these years, she knows that Hou Ye sometimes goes there to spend the night.
She is still Hou Ye's woman after all.
Mrs. Tai also turned a blind eye to this, after all, she had given birth to two daughters.
Unlike that Aunt Tian, although she has been in the mansion for two years and is considered a newcomer, since she had a quarrel with Mu Yu three months ago because of a trivial matter and was punished by Mu Changyuan to Zhuangzi, Mu Changyuan has never seen her once, as if that woman had never stayed in the Hou Mansion.
Thinking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, what is the use of relying on good colors, Hou Ye is not a good, lustful person.
"Erniang has always been close to Aunt Mei, presumably she has already known about Sanniang's punishment, Hou Ye hasn't been to Jingsiyuan in the past two days, I'm afraid I'm worried about her making trouble, right?" After putting on makeup, Mama Xu quietly stuffed a white hair under Zhucui for her, and couldn't help frowning, Mrs. is not yet forty years old!
"You're wrong, even if Master Hou goes to Jing Si Yuan, Aunt Mei will definitely not make a fuss." Su Shi sneered, "She's not that stupid. ”
Naturally, she knew this opponent.
Mei is a person who hides needles in the cotton, he doesn't care too much about everything, and he will tolerate three points in case of trouble, which makes Mu Changyuan look at it differently, otherwise, how could she have given birth to two daughters.
But that Tian family is different, relying on her young and a little bit of appearance, she will argue with them at every turn, which makes Mu Changyuan annoyed, so after she went to Zhuangzi, the house became much quieter.
She'd better never come back.
"Since the second young lady entered the door, there have been movements in the house one after another, but I don't know if this second young lady is a good match." Mama Xu smiled meaningfully.
"Well, it's okay to make a fuss, it's the mule and the horse always want to take it out." Su Shi smiled, looked at his makeup in the mirror again, and then got up elegantly and went to the flower hall in the outer courtyard accompanied by Mama Xu.
The stewards and treasurers everywhere were already waiting there respectfully.
In a noble family like the Marquis of Yongding, there are naturally not a few Zhuangzi shops under their names, and they are also distributed in several states and counties, so they don't come to the mansion every day, but report the recent business to the master on the specified day.
Because there are many shops, it has long been a rule for the Su family to see the steward and shopkeeper almost every day.
"Auntie, I just went to see the third sister, she said that she was wronged, and begged me to go to Mrs. Tai and my father to plead for her, so it can be seen that she really doesn't know about this matter." Mu Yao sat in Jing Si Yuan and talked to Aunt Mei.
"Erniang, I know that you are for the good of Sanniang, but over the years, I have seen Sanniang's temperament become more and more domineering, and it is not a good sign." Aunt Mei shook her head and said, "It's good to use this excuse to teach her a lesson, I think that's what Mrs. Tai meant." ”
"I heard that Mrs. also asked her father for the sake of Sanniang, but she was reprimanded by her father, and my father said that she spoiled the third sister too much." Mu Yao smiled lightly, "I didn't expect Mrs. to protect the third sister so much, on weekdays, my father is very good to Mrs. ”
"Erniang, you tell your aunt the truth, over the years, no matter what you have done, has Madame ever said a heavy word to you?" Aunt Mei asked rhetorically.
"Never." Mu Yao shook her head, "Madame has always been generous to me and my third sister, and she has also taken good care of my second sister-in-law, but in contrast, she is more strict with her sister-in-law." ”
"That's it." Aunt Mei sneered, "Xia is her daughter-in-law, she naturally scolds you easily, but she always greets you with a smile, Erniang, can you still say that she treats you as her own?" Now Sanniang has become such a character, she is used to it, she is going to destroy Sanniang! ”
"Auntie, what should we do then?" Mu Yao'e frowned slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, she not only gasped, could it be that her mother really ......
"What can I do? Let's not do anything, just help Sanniang. Aunt Mei said calmly.
"Young lady." Taozhi hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in, and saw that Shen Qingli was looking at the jade Ruyi on the case, so he stepped forward and whispered, "The slave has already found out, and the young lady's clothes have really been tampered with." ”
As she spoke, she hurriedly took out the water-red shirt that was as thin as a cicada's wings from her arms, spread it in front of her, and said, "The embroidery lady said that although they have not woven this kind of fragrant cloud yarn, they know at a glance that this fabric has been stretched by people who know how to make clothes. ”
Shen Qingli's earnest smile appeared in front of her eyes again, thought about it, and asked again: "Who is that Mama Li close to on weekdays?" ”
"I heard that Mama Yang is a god-in-law with her." Cui Zhi interjected on the side, and she used spicy beef jerky to get this out of the mouth of the little girl in the needlework room.
Spicy beef jerky is a specialty of Jingzhou.
They do.
I see! Shen Qingli's heart suddenly brightened.
It seems that Xia's hatred for her is not ordinary.
No wonder on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xia's yin and yang said strangely that Wanyue also had such a water-red dress, which turned out to be deliberately provoking her to never wear this skirt again.
Then this matter will naturally be over.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingli got up and said, "Taozhi Cuizhi, let's go, let's go to the needlework room, I have to ask that Mama Li in person, what does she want to do?" ”
If no one was behind her back, she didn't believe that a needlework housekeeper would dare to do such a thing.
