Chapter 571: Prejudice

The mother-in-law's sideburns are like snow, not to mention that she is more than fifty years old, and when she was slapped by the maid, her head immediately buzzed.

As soon as he leaned over, he hit the bucket.

The bucket swayed, and the water was all spilled.

The mother-in-law screamed.

The water splashed and flowed to Xu Yuan's feet, she was wearing embroidered shoes on her feet, how could she get wet?

She has plain lips and teeth, emerald hair and moth eyebrows, and her skin is as white as snow, but her eyes are full of anger, she is determined to win the championship, but she stains her clothes and harmony, her image is damaged, and her score must be greatly reduced!

Seeing her mother-in-law kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, she lifted her foot and rubbed the water from her embroidered shoes on her shoulder.

The mother-in-law didn't dare to dodge, and the maid shouted, "If my girl can't win the first place, I want you to look good!" ā€

After speaking, the maid said, "Girl, let's not delay time, lest we be preempted by Miss Ning." ā€

Xu Yuan nodded, and the master and servant walked straight forward.

Besides, on the other side, Ning Qianrou and her were experiencing the same thing.

However, instead of watering the flowers and splashing water on her, the mother-in-law accidentally slipped and fell when she went down the steps, and the bucket in her hand rolled down.

At that time, Ning Xian and the maid were walking up the steps, and there was no doubt that her clothes and shoes were wet.

The maid looked at it and became anxious, "Girl, it's all soaked." ā€

Ning Xianrou hid to the side, shaking the water on the hem of her skirt, and she was not in a very good mood.

Whoever gets wet can't be in a bright mood.

It's just that when she heard her mother-in-law snorting and screaming in pain, Ning Xianrou glanced at her and saw that her mother-in-law's forehead was bleeding. You couldn't bear it anymore and told the maid. "Go and help her up."

The maid pouted, dissatisfied in her heart.

The girl is competing. But she caused the girl to wet her skirt and shoes, how can she compete?

Thinking about it, the girl's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

It's not as good as Sai, she is still worried, if the girl really wins the first, with the girl's temperament, maybe she will really ask the emperor to dissolve her marriage contract, it is not a trivial matter. The family affairs of the Xiao Guo Mansion, can you just retire casually?

Thinking like this, the smile on the corner of the maid's mouth deepened, and she helped her mother-in-law up with a bright smile, and saw that her feet were shaking her forehead in pain when they touched the ground, and she knew that she had broken her feet, and immediately said to Ning Xian, "Girl, this mother's leg is injured." We have to heal her quickly, shall we take her to the doctor?" ā€

Ning Xianrou frowned slightly, she glanced left and right, and saw a maid walking in the distance. Then he said, "Go and call the maid to come over and let the maid send her to see the doctor." ā€

The maid pouted. Help the mother-in-law to sit under the tree on the side, and then go to call the maid.

The mother-in-law sat there. In fact, this injury is nothing to her at all, but the manager has orders. It must be very strict.

No, the mother-in-law screamed in pain one after another.

Ning Qianrou looked at her and said, "You bear with it first, and the maid will send you to see the doctor in a while." ā€

When the mother-in-law heard this, her nose immediately became sour, and she began to cry.

But Ning Qianrou was frightened, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

No way, she's grown so big, and no one has ever cried so sadly to her.

The mother-in-law began to complain.

It's called a poor one, with an eighty-year-old mother-in-law and a grandson who has been feeding for eight months......

Balabala a bunch, and then point out the key points, they are women who do rough work, bumping into each other is a common thing, the work is not good, and she doesn't give food, she just fell, because of the dizziness of hunger, not intentionally, and please forgive Ning Qianrou, the maid will come after a while, don't mention that she dropped the bucket, otherwise she will have to deduct her wages, her wages will have to support her family, and she can't deduct them.

The mother-in-law said, Ning Xianrou's brows tightened, and said, "Although this Liuli Pavilion belongs to the prince of Jingbei Hou, it is managed by Xiao Biao's young grandmother, she is gentle and kind, how can she detain you gang?" ā€

The mother-in-law wiped her eyes and hurriedly said, "The girl is kind-hearted, I can't bear it for a while, so I just said a few more words, but I didn't mean to criticize Xiao Biao's young grandmother, we rough mother-in-law and maids, how can we see her face?" ā€

The implication is that the stewards of the Liuli Pavilion abused their power and detained them.

At this point, Ning Qianrou understands, who doesn't have two selfish stewards in the house?

It's just that the mother-in-law is so hard, and there is a big family to support, Ning Qianrou can't bear it, and wants to give her some silver, but she rarely carries silver with her.

When the maid came over, Ning Qianrou frowned, "Why are you here alone?" ā€

The maid pouted and said, "Girl, is the slave and maid very fierce, the maid in this glass pavilion is like seeing a ghost when she sees the slave and maid, and the slave and maid don't shout that they are okay, as soon as they shout, they will run away." ā€

Ning Xianrou twisted her brows and stared at the maid for a long time, "You didn't lie to me?" ā€

The maid blushed and raised her hand to make an oath, "The slave really shouted." ā€

After speaking, the maid glanced at her mother-in-law and asked, "Young grandmother, what should she do?" The maids in the glazed pavilion have such a big shelf that they can't even shout, can you expect them to come over and help her? ā€

What else can Ning Qianrou do, she can only be sent by their master and servant, she can't be asked to dry people here and limp back, right?

It's just her competition, what should I do?

Until now, she didn't know what to try, Ning Qianrou raised her eyes to look at the sky, and she didn't say anything clearly in the competition.

The maid helped, Ning Xianrou helped to take the handle, and the mother-in-law was grateful.

walked all the way back, and at the fork in the road, I met Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan saw her from a distance, walked over and said, "Second Miss Ning, have you tried it?" ā€

Ning Qianrou shook her head, "No, what about you?" ā€

Xu Yuan shook her head, looked around and said, "I kept walking forward until I reached the lake, and then I turned around, and I never saw anyone." ā€

Ning Xianrou was surprised, "Except for Mother Chen, I didn't see anyone else. ā€

Xu Yuan immediately had a bad premonition in her heart.

Ning Qianrou met Chen's mother, and she also met a mother-in-law, which is certainly not a coincidence!

Xu Yuan asked a few more words, and when she heard that Ning Qianrou was also splashed with water, she panicked.

Over there. Manager Zhou brought two maids over and said with a smile. "The competition is over, and I ask the two girls to go back with me."

Ning was puzzled. Her maid was even more surprised, "Is this the end of the comparison?" ā€

Manager Zhou nodded and smiled, "It's really over." ā€

As he spoke, he motioned for the two maids to help Chen's mother.

A few people returned to Liuli Pavilion.

Xu Yuan saw the mother-in-law who was slapped by her maid, and there were red marks on her face, Xu Yuan gritted her teeth and twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Manager Zhou said with a smile, "This competition is not a comparison of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, but a comparison of morality." With both ability and political integrity, it ranks second, and virtue is the first. ā€

After speaking, Manager Zhou motioned to the two mothers-in-law to tell Fang Cai's competition.

The first thing to say was that when I met Xu Yuan's mother-in-law, I heard her say that Xu Yuan's maid slapped her, but Xu Yuan not only stopped her, but also trampled on her shoulders with her feet and wiped the water on her shoes, and the noble ladies present were embarrassed. Those young masters of the family frowned even more.

Although it was splashed on the clothes by the water, it was a little uncomfortable, after all, it was a competition, and I didn't dare to be sloppy.

I was angry and rubbed my shoes clean on people's shoulders. This character is also too bad!

Listening to it again, I met Ning Qianrou's mother-in-law, and praised Ning Qianrou and her maid in the sky and on the earth. Ning Qianrou blushed.

No one has ever praised her in front of so many people.

In this game, there is no doubt that Ning Xianrou won.

Xu Yuan bit her lip tightly. She has to win!

She stepped forward and said, "This competition is not fair! Ning Xianrou just made a marriage with the eldest young master of Xiao Guogong's Mansion. The competition was set by Xiao Guogong's grandmother, and it was hard to guarantee that she didn't tell her about the content of the competition in advance. ā€

An Rong sat there and smiled when he heard this, "I didn't tell anyone, could it be that the emperor leaked the secret in advance?" ā€

Zuo Xiang shook his head and smiled, and said in his heart that Xiao Biao's young grandmother is so bold that she even dares to fight the emperor's fun.

Downstairs, Mrs. Xiao asked with a smile on her face, "The glass banquet was done well by Young Grandma Xiao Biao, and Second Miss Ning may have been married to Young Master Xiao, listening to the meaning of Miss Xu's words, does Miss Xu think that Young Grandma Xiao Biao is selfish?" ā€

Xu Yuan was silent, as if she had acquiesced.

An Rong stood up and said with a condescending smile, "Even if I told Second Miss Ning in advance, I didn't say hello to Miss Xu, so I want you to treat Mother Liu like that, right?" ā€

Xu Yuan was speechless by An Rong's rhetorical question, and didn't know how to argue.

The eldest princess glanced at Xu Yuan, and sighed in her heart, she is from Jinzhou, not a lady in Kyoto, otherwise with her talented actions, how many people dare to come to the door to ask for marriage?

Ning Xianrou took a step forward and said, "Since Miss Xu questioned the fairness of the competition, the competition didn't count, and we re-compared." ā€

An Rong smiled, "It's embarrassing for me now, it's not fair than anything, I think it's better for Miss Xu." ā€

Xu Yuan's face turned red, and she was so angry that she couldn't wait to stomp her feet.

But An Rong couldn't help it, for a while, she really couldn't think of any good ideas.

Xu Yuan was really polite, she turned her head and asked Ning Qianrou, "You know how to play chess, right?" ā€

Ning Xianrou nodded, "A little." ā€

Xu Yuan said with confidence, "That's better than playing chess." ā€

She was very fair, and she decided to play chess after asking Ning Qianrou!

But this competition is not satisfactory to An Rong, talent and morality are not the same thing.

However, Ning Qianrou did not object to the competition, and she had nothing to say.

Downstairs, try your chess skills.

Xu Yuan and Ning Xianrou sat against each other.

A little guy came over with a big chessboard, and every time the two of them made a particle, the little guy showed it on the big chessboard for everyone to see.

Looking at the chessboard, the eldest princess exclaimed, "I didn't expect that Miss Ning's chess skills were so superb. ā€

As she spoke, the eldest princess looked at Mrs. Ning and smiled, "Are the girls in the house so superb in chess?" ā€

Mrs. Ning said with a smile, "It's a little bit, Rou'er is filial, her father likes to play chess, she will accompany her father to play chess to pass the time when she has nothing to do." ā€

After speaking, Mrs. Ning said with a smile, "Rou'er's chess skills are not bad, but they are far worse than Xiao Biao's young grandmother, I heard that her chess skills are very superb." ā€

Mrs. Xiao nodded and smiled, "An Rong's chess skills are really good, even Grandpa Guo is amazed by her chess skills, compared with the two, which is higher and which is lower, it is not yet known." ā€

The eldest princess smiled, "Since you're curious, won't you let them compare for a while?" ā€

The eldest princess's mention yƬ, everyone unanimously agreed.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ning Xianrou won against Xu Yuan, the win was obvious to all, and the winning Xu Yuan had nothing to say.

According to the score, Xu Yuan is second, but what she does is not likeable.

It's just that except for Xu Yuan and Ning Qianrou who compared their morality, the others did not compete, so there is no way to know if the others are also like her.

Therefore, Xu Yuan is still second.

At this point, An Rong got up and went down the steps.

It's just that she hasn't spoken yet, and the eldest princess smiled and said, "You are the previous Hundred Flowers Goddess, and Ning Er is the successor Hundred Flowers Goddess, you two should have a competition, I don't need to compete with others, just try your chess skills." ā€

An Rong was dumbfounded, she also wants to compete?

I like some people to coax her, and I want her to try it with Ning Xianrou.

What else can An Rong do, can only be compared.

An Rong sat in Xu Yuan's position before, and the chessboard was cleaned up.

An Rong asked Ning Xianrou to go first.

Ning Xianrou smiled and played a chess piece.

Ning Qianrou's chess skills are good, and she is the same age as An Rong, but An Rong has lived two lives, which is far from being comparable to Ning Qianrou.

In this game, it was naturally An Rong who won.

However, An Rong thought that if Ning Xianrou studied for a few more years, she might not lose.

At this point, all the competitions are over.

An Rong officially handed over the nine-turn glass lamp to Ning Xianrou.

Ning Xianrou was excited, her excited eyes lit up, she glanced at Xiao Qian, and there was a touch of provocation in her eyes.

That touch of provocation happened to be seen by An Rong.

An Rong thought that Ning Qianrou stepped on Xiao Qian's feet, and at that time she had the urge to touch her forehead, and she didn't have to think about it to know that Ning Qianrou was competing so desperately because of the emperor's promise and wanted to withdraw from her family.

She felt that Ning Qianrou and Xiao Qian were a good match, and it would be a pity if they quit.

She couldn't help but say, "Second Miss Ning, you have to be cautious before you say something, if you say it, the water that you spill out, there is no possibility of taking it back." ā€

Ning Qianrou was stunned for a moment, looking at An Rong, with doubts in her eyes.

An Rong knew that she didn't understand, so she simply said openly, "When the Duke of Xiao Guo came to ask me to marry me, I was not willing to marry, and I went to the Queen Mother to withdraw from my relatives for ......this reason, and I got my wish at that time." ā€

Hearing this, Ning Qianrou's heart was half cold at that time.

Although she used to be fat and couldn't go out, she still knew some things.

An Rong withdrew from Xiao Zhan's relatives, but he was not forced to marry by Xiao Laoguogong, but finally married.

If she asks the emperor to withdraw from her family, she will definitely be able to retreat, but if the Xiao Guogong Mansion insists on marrying her, can the emperor still fight against the Xiao Guogong Mansion for her?

She couldn't resist at all!

But if she doesn't quit her family, then she will still be in the limelight and rush to do what the Hundred Flowers Goddess will do?

"But I don't want to get married," Ning Qian's soft voice revealed a sense of grievance.

Anxin smiled, "It's normal not to want to get married, no one wants to leave my father and mother, and I have resistance in my heart, but when I grow up, I always want to get married." ā€

Ning Xian puffed out her cheeks and said, "I don't want to marry Young Master Xiao." ā€

Save a few words, why can't you understand her extraneous voice.

An Rong couldn't hear it, pretending to be confused, "That's because you don't understand Xiao Qian and are prejudiced against him." ā€

Saying that, An Rong paused and said with a smile, "The emperor's promise is not in a hurry, you can try to get along with Xiao Qian, if you are not optimistic about him after seeing him three times again, it is not too late for you to withdraw from your family." ā€

An Rong is like a reborn parent to Ning Qianrou, her words, Ning Xianrou believed, she nodded and agreed.

An Rong nodded and smiled.

She glanced at Xiao Qian, hoping that he would grasp it well, it was a pity that such a good girl was missed like this.

Xiao Qian sat there and twisted his eyebrows, how strange was the look in his sister-in-law's eyes?

At that time, three maids went downstairs with brocade boxes.

That's a reward for the top three.

The brocade boxes were not small, and many people stared at them, curious about what was inside.

But An Rong brought the brocade box to Ning Qianrou and them, and asked them to go upstairs and open it again.

can make a group of people curious, like a cat scratching their hearts.
