Chapter 248: Old Accounts (Supplement 3)
Tian Mi was stunned, to be honest, she hadn't been so despised for a long time, but for the sake of the other party being just a woman in a boudoir who thought highly of herself, she didn't move, but felt that it felt quite fresh.
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Tian Mi followed Tian Xin to meet her "dear" second aunt.
Outside, it was icy and snowy, but in the room where the earth dragon was burning, it was as warm as spring, the floor was covered with thick carpets, the furniture ornaments were all exquisite, and the rich and gorgeous drapery was layered on top of each other, and it was the costume of the maid who stood on it, and it was also very elegant, not to mention the woman sitting on the main couch.
The woman on the throne is not full of gold and jade, but Tian Mi has always been sharp-eyed, and she can see at a glance that her outfit is either made by a famous family or imported from overseas, this luxury is actually not low-key at all.
From afar, Tian Mi heard the woman say to her mother gently and warmly: "You are back, I will be relieved, you orphans and widows are out, and the county and I are very worried and afraid...... Alas, don't say it! Now we are very happy to see that you are okay and that your two children are so good...... Xiaochuan is really amazing, he was in Tanhua at a young age, and his future is very good, in the future, you will have a good life. It's just this honey girl......"
Tian Mi's footsteps slowed down, and when she heard the voice, she sighed, and said regretfully: "A good Miss Houfu, why is she covered with copper stench?" How can this orthodox family in Kyoto look up to her? Isn't this an insult to the lintel?! ”
She let out a long sigh and saw Tan lowering his head. Zhu Hong's lips were bitten out of tooth marks, there was a faint ridicule in her eyes, but her hand was holding Tan's hand, and she said with relief: "Don't be too sad, after all, it is our Miss Hou Mansion, how can I and Hou Ye let her be wronged?" It's also good for you to come back, she is exactly fifteen or sixteen years old, although ...... But according to the honor of our Hou Mansion, it is not difficult to be a good family. ”
If there was no other way at the beginning, the Tan family would not have wanted Tian Mi to show his face no matter what. Now Fengping Hou's wife Liu's words. Although she heard the other party's disparagement, it also deeply pierced her heart, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and said astringently: "What my brother and sister said is true." ”
No matter how short Houfu Lizi is. After all, it is also a family that has been inherited for a hundred years. And because of those several donations. Great reputation. And no matter how rich the merchants are, in this hierarchical Kyoto, they will be the last class after all. If you want your daughter to be good in the future. With the support of the Hou Mansion, it is the best.
Tan closed his eyes, endured the shame when he ran away angrily, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Mi'er is the young lady of the Hou Mansion after all, and in the future, I will ask the second brother and younger siblings to take care of it." ”
"That's nature." Liu's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, his expression was quite arrogant, and he said in a slow tone: "Although the honey girl has entered the cheap businessmen, she was born in the Hou Mansion after all, if she can know her mistakes, she will change it, and hand over the property in her hand to the man in the mansion to take care of it, and my Hou Mansion will add a heavy dowry to her, and it is not difficult to marry in a beautiful way, but it is just ......."
There was a slight pause in her tone, she didn't notice Tan's frightened eyes and pale face when she heard the word "industry", she took a sip of tea comfortably, put down the delicate teacup, straightened her cuffs without a single fold, and continued slowly: "It's just that my brother and sister didn't say you, you are a woman's family, and you haven't returned home for a few years, who doesn't know this Kyoto?" Your reputation is really a hindrance to your daughter's reputation. ”
As soon as these words came out, Tan's pale face was even whiter like a ghost, she stared at Liu, her body sitting on the chair couldn't help trembling, her breathing was difficult, and she stretched her eyes wide and asked, "You, what do you mean?" ”
Liu glanced at it, there was a mocking smile on the corner of his lips, and he said indifferently: "Mother, don't you even understand this?" If I were you, I would have no face to see people a long time ago, where would the reputation of my children be affected? ”
She smiled and asked the girl in the room, "You say, is this the reason?" ”
"Yes." The maids in the room burst into laughter.
"You ......" Tan Shi clenched her chest, looking at this sneering face, the scene of humiliation at that time reappeared, she bit her lip, tears in her eyes were like knives, but she was so powerless at them.
Suddenly, these ridicules were mixed with a burst of crisp laughter, which was crisp but with an awe-inspiring atmosphere, and the laughter in the room couldn't help but stop, and they looked at the comer in surprise.
It was a petite girl who came from the end, and the girl had a pair of clear and bright eyes, which were inexplicably a little scary when they were wide.
Tian Mi stopped in front of Tan's body, and against the domineering Liu, she tugged at the corners of her lips and said slowly: "I didn't expect Mrs. Tangtang County to be so vicious, and outsiders gossip, as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, you not only maintain a part of the Hou Mansion, but also want to help others, vainly trying to force your sister-in-law to death, it's really good, I don't know if this word spreads, this Hou Mansion, what face is there in front of people?" ”
Liu Shi looked at the articulate girl in front of her, and she was completely unable to integrate her with the silly girl in her memory, whether it was her words or her person, she was speechless in surprise.
She didn't speak, and the girl didn't care, but when she turned to the side, the coldness on her face instantly melted, she softly took Tan's hand, turned around, looked at her uprightly, her eyes slowly swept over the people in the room, and said word by word: "How this woman treats our sister and brother, only our sister and brother know best, so she has a good character, and it is really not your turn to talk more!" Yes, thanks to some people, she had to run away from home, and the outside world misinterpreted her, but you know, it was not her fault! ”
"Don't insult people with the nobility of your Hou Mansion, and don't think how great the Hou Mansion is, as if someone is rare." The crisp and cold voice clearly fell in the room, and the slowly swept Ling Ran eyes made people unconsciously retreat, only to hear the human: "Yes, compared to the Hou Mansion, this woman doesn't have much, but she doesn't have much, but she gave the best to our sister and brother, to be honest, she is already great enough, you are not qualified to judge her." ”
Tan blinked his moist eyes, slender fingers, and gently held his daughter's short palm. The cold and biting coolness of Jiangcai was warmed by the temperature of the palm, and in an instant, it was as warm as spring.
These are children, right? Just one sentence is enough to iron your whole heart.
She said that she didn't have much, but she gave us the best.
She understands her, loves her, and there is nothing more worthy of it.
"Qiuqiu......" Tan said softly: "Mother is fine." ”
"Mother, you sit down first." Tian Mi placed the Tan family well. He looked back at the stunned woman on the couch. Step by step, she approached the woman.
This woman, in order to compete for the family property, once harmed her mother in such a dirty way. Now they're back. Not only did she not repent. It also became even more insulting, and she remembered every word of what she said just now. This revenge will not be avenged, not children!
After this period of time, Liu finally recovered from the shock, thinking that he had been slapped in the face in public by the former fool, his face was blue and white for a while, and he was about to open his mouth angrily, but he was intercepted by the crisp voice, but he heard the girl suddenly say faintly and coldly: "Should I say that Mrs. has a good memory or not?" I remember all these nonsense things so clearly, but they are important things related to my own safety, and I forget them completely. ”
What's at stake for your own safety? Liu was subconsciously surprised, but when she saw the person in front of her, she felt funny, however, before she could finish laughing, she saw the girl unhurriedly take out something from her sleeve.
The golden color slowly shook in front of Liu's eyes, Liu was about to reach out to take it, but Tian Mi took it back at once, she held the object, looked at her, and smiled ruthlessly: "Madame must have an impression of this hairpin, right?" Oh, by the way, Tianfu is rich in the world, and there are many lady ornaments, so how can you care about a golden hairpin? ”
Liu's eyes were already straight, she looked at the golden hairpin, and swallowed her saliva unconsciously, but before she could speak, the voice said crisply: "But it doesn't matter, even if you don't recognize the golden hairpin, you must also recognize the mark on the golden hairpin, right?" ”
"This, this golden hairpin ......" Liu looked at the mark on the golden hairpin in astonishment, and asked her in disbelief: "Why is it here with you?" ”
Tian Mi looked around, and Liu immediately understood, and waved his hand to let all the servants go down.
When everyone was gone, Tian Mi smiled slightly, and said a little playfully: "How can it be in my hands?" Madame's words are so strange, how did your golden hairpin get into my hands, and you, as the head of the house, didn't even know it? ”
"This ......," Liu shook his head in disbelief.
"Has the county lady forgotten? As you said earlier, the little girl is a copper-smelling businessman. Merchants are most fond of such gold and silver things. Seeing that Liu's face was getting whiter and paler, Tian Mi no longer went around the bend, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and her voice was slightly cold: "The little girl opened a bank, the bank, there are often people who can't turn over their funds and come to borrow money or something." Unfortunately, two days ago, someone took this item and pledged it with some other items. ”
When Liu heard this, her face was whiter than the previous Tan, she stared at the golden hairpin, her body was weak, and she almost fell on the couch, she was short of breath, extremely out of shape, and Tian Xin next to her was at a loss.
Tian Mi looked at her with a smile, the pear vortex on her cheeks was shallow, and she looked harmless to humans and animals.
The harmless girl leaned over, completely ignoring Liu's frightened eyes as if she had seen a ghost, but she got closer and closer to her, her big eyes were cold, and her tone was cold and cold: "After the guy at the bank saw that something was wrong, he didn't dare to hide it, and immediately notified me. ”
"You, you ......" Liu pointed at her, his eyes were full of horror, as if he didn't know the person in front of him at all.
Tian Mi smiled harmlessly, and continued with a smile: "The things given by the emperor cannot be desecrated, and I don't know how much of a crime it is to mortgage so many things given by the emperor?" What do you say, Mrs. Shire? ”
The words quenched in this smile kept drilling into Liu's ears, Liu listened, cold sweat poured down her forehead, she never thought that it was a royal gift that was sold all over the family property and didn't dare to move, how could it be mortgaged to this witch's bank?
, this is a great sin!
"Isn't it surprised?" She smiled, her moist eyes were innocent smiles, and she said with a smile: "I'm also surprised, how big of an incident did your son have to dare to risk the world?" Does he really think that if you are the mother of the house, you don't know, no one in the world will know? ”
The girl seemed curious, but in fact, her cold words made Liu's face change constantly.
Liu Shi took a deep breath, tightened the smooth silk on the couch, looked at her, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want?!" ”
"What do I want?" Tian Mi smiled, but there was a cold light in her eyes, and replied: "Mrs. Jun treats our mother and son well, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I do anything to you?" ”
Liu Shi tightened the satin under his hand, looked at her coldly, and regretted that she hadn't been more ruthless at the beginning, she didn't expect that the weak woman would desperately escape, leaving such a trouble.
Tian Mi looked at her eyes and knew that she would not repent, of course, she never thought that this femme fatale would change her ways.
Suddenly, there was no interest, she got up, put away her feelings, looked at her coldly, and solemnly warned: "Mrs. County, what is the truth of that incident, you and I know very well, how much turmoil this golden hairpin will cause now, I think you also know it." To be honest, our mother and son have suffered a lot over the years, and it is impossible not to blame you, but the fish is dead and the net is broken-" (To be continued......)
