287 Invitations

Just after noon the next day, Xie Jiaxuan came to Xue Rou and said that Mrs. Xie was invited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Xue Rou went to the Qibi Courtyard, Xie Yiliu and Li Yu were there, and as soon as Xue Rou entered, several people looked at her.

"The old lady looks at the true spirit today." Xue Rou said with a smile.

Old Madam Xie smiled extremely happily when she heard this, and beckoned to Xie Jiaxuan and Xue Rou: "What kind of spirit can the old woman have, but Xue Yatou, you are okay to live in the mansion, and those who serve are still dedicated?" ”

Xue Rou nodded, "Everything is fine, I didn't expect to find such a quiet place as the Water Pavilion and Tinglan Garden in the Shangshu Mansion, Xue Rou likes it very much, and the people in your mansion are very diligent, yesterday when I went out with the third lady, there were still people in my room to clean, Xue Rou is very grateful, but I still ask the old lady to tell the following, the things in Xue Rou's room should not be tampered with, there are some things I copied before in the book, if I accidentally close it, I am afraid that it will be stained with ink, and it is quite troublesome to rummage through it later." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yiliu's face changed slightly, while Old Madam Xie paused and her eyes were slightly gloomy.

Li Yu raised his eyes and looked at the woman in the hall with cold eyebrows, but saw that she was just standing lightly, as if the words just now were just her casual words, he turned his head to look at the calm old lady, and couldn't help but think in his heart, whether Xue Rou's words were intentional or unintentional? Or was she warning someone?

Xue Rou didn't seem to see everyone's different colors, but then asked, "I don't know what happened to the old lady looking for Xue Rou?" ”

Old Madam Xie smiled when she heard this, and she ordered Mama Cai to hand over an invitation on the table to Xue Rou, and then said, "Take a look, this is something sent by the Yuguo Mansion early this morning for the next person to hand it over to you." ”

"Yuguo Mansion?" Xue Rou frowned slightly, opened the invitation in her hand and read it, then raised her eyebrows and said, "The second lady of the Yuguo Mansion invited me to go to the birthday banquet of the Duke of Yuguo tomorrow?" ”

The old lady nodded.

Xue Rou closed the invitation and said inexplicably: "But I just came to Beijing not long ago, and I don't know Miss Feng Er, how could she send someone to send me a post?" ”

Old Madam Xie didn't understand when she heard this, Feng Baowei and the Xie family have never had much contact, even if Xie Yiliu and Xie Jiaxuan, and several girls in the mansion are not familiar with the two Feng sisters, it's not that the daughter of the Xie family doesn't want to befriend the young lady of the Yuguo Mansion, but because the Feng sisters are the concubines of the Yuguo Mansion, they are arrogant and look down on them, the delicate daughters of the Wenchen family, but she didn't expect that Feng Baowei would suddenly send a post to Xue Rou this time, inviting her to go to the Yuguo Mansion, which is really strange.

However, Mrs. Xie didn't say it explicitly, the Yuguo Mansion could give Xue Rou a post, which naturally made her look at Xue Rou twice, remembering that the Duke of Yuguo held a heavy army and was authoritative in the army, she smiled directly and said to Xue Rou: "Since Miss Feng Er asked someone to send you a post, she must also be willing to get acquainted with you, this is something that others can't ask for, and tomorrow Yuguogong's birthday, the ladies and ladies who have a face in the capital will also go to Yuguogong's mansion with the lords in the palace to congratulate Yuguo Gong's birthday, before Xuan'er also said to the old body, Xue girl, you just came to the capital not long ago, I don't have any friends, instead of being bored in the mansion, it is better for you and Xuan'er to go to the Yuguo Mansion to play for a day, and it is good to meet some noble girls in Beijing. ”

"But......" Xue Rou frowned, "I still have something to do tomorrow." ”

Old Madam Xie didn't expect Xue Rou to refuse, and was a little stunned, but Li Yu opened her mouth to persuade.

"Miss Xue, Miss Feng Er's temperament is not very easy to get along with, since she sent you a post, if you don't go, she is afraid that she will think that you look down on her, and she may embarrass you in the future, you might as well postpone something, it just so happens that Wen Yuan and I will also go, so you should go and take a scene."

"Yes, Arou, if you don't want to go, you might as well accompany me, I rarely attend this kind of scene, and I don't know the ladies of other houses, I'm afraid that if I don't understand something, I will make a joke and make my father and grandmother embarrassed, you know everything, so you should accompany me?" Xie Jiaxuan said coquettishly beside her.

Xue Rou looked at Xie Jiaxuan, and Xie Jiaxuan hurriedly gave her a smile. She thought for a moment before she said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Xie Jiaxuan was immediately overjoyed, and Mrs. Xie's face was much more relaxed.

A few people chatted in the Qibi courtyard for a while, Xue Rou went back to the Water Pavilion and waited until the two left, the smile on Mrs. Xie's face instantly converged, and she directly sank her face and said to Mama Cai: "Mama Cai, go and call the girl who was waiting in the Water Pavilion yesterday!" ”

Mama Cai has followed the old lady for most of her life, so she naturally knew that the old lady was angry, so she hurriedly ordered to go down, and after a while, the two young girls were brought over.

The two maids, both of whom looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, wore double-ringed buns and clothes of the same color, and saluted in unison when they saw the old lady.

"The slave has seen the old lady."

Old Madam Xie looked at the two of them, "What's the name of the two of you?" ”

"Back to the old lady, the slave is rosΓ©."

"Slave Chunlan."

Although the two didn't know what the old lady told them to do, they still replied respectfully, who knew that as soon as the two of them finished speaking, the old lady Xie sank her face, "Don't kneel down yet!" ”

The two maids were startled, and knelt on the ground with a pop, and Li Yu, who was sitting not far from Old Madam Xie, was puzzled: "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

Xie Yiliu and Xie Jiaxuan also looked at Old Madam Xie one after another, not knowing why she was suddenly angry, but Old Madam Xie didn't explain at all, just looked at the two maids in a deep voice and asked, "Which of the two of you entered the Water Pavilion without permission yesterday?!" ”

The maid's face changed slightly, but Chunlan was at a loss.

Seeing this, Mama Cai said sharply. "The old lady still hasn't answered her question, do you want to be sold?!"

The two maids were startled at the same time, and Chunlan, who was still dazed before, hurriedly kowtowed and said urgently: "The old lady forgives the sins, the old lady forgives the sins, the slave and maid don't know what happened, but without Miss Xue's permission, the slave and maid don't dare to enter Miss Xue's house without permission." ”

Old Madam Xie looked at Taohong, her eyes were like electricity, "Then you are the one who trespassed?" ”

Peach's face turned pale and said, "Old... Old lady, the slave maid didn't do anything, the slave maid just wanted to tidy up the room for Miss Xue......"

"Presumptuous!"

Old Madam Xie slammed the table, startling everyone in the room, but she said sharply: "No one taught you the rules when you entered the mansion, and the mansion is full of distinguished guests, so the guest compartment is not allowed to enter without permission?" It is a friend of the third lady who lives in the Water Pavilion, a person from outside the house, without her instructions, how dare you enter her room, and dare to look at other people's private things, who gave you the guts!
