Chapter 297: Xin Mi (3)
Zhen Xuan asked people to refill the tea, and said: "It's going to be July, it's morning, and the sun is big, why did Miss Biao come all the way over, and want to come over, take a car or a soft car, isn't it more comfortable?" ”
When Miss He heard this, she did not answer immediately.
In the courtyard of Tianyi, she didn't alarm others, and she didn't come to confess to Zhen Xuan and ask for peace, if she let others know the truth, didn't she come in vain this trip? Miss He wants to hide from others, so naturally there is no one to arrange a soft sedan chair for her, so she can only go all the way.
She thought of an excuse, raised her eyes and glanced at Zhen Xuan: "I heard that the scenery of Xiajiazi is good, so I will walk around." ”
Zhen Xuan knew in her heart that she didn't break it.
A few dings, the Western bell rings.
Zhen Xuan looked over, it was already early noon.
In Tianyi Courtyard, dinner is usually set up at noon, but when she watched a few words of dialogue between Zhen Xuan and Miss He, she knew that she had no intention of eating with Miss He.
Zhiqi quietly retreated and instructed Musk Yue, who was guarding outside: "I still went to the kitchen to get the food as usual, and after I got it back, I warmed it in the small kitchen first, and then set the table when Miss Biao left." My aunt will send it there on time, don't delay. ”
Musk Yue listened to the order, answered, and arranged it.
When he returned to the house, he saw that Miss He's eyes had been falling on the Western clock since the bell was struck, and she had not taken her eyes off.
This Western clock is different from what Miss Ho has seen before.
Ming'an City is close to the sea, since there are a lot of Western goods drifting across the sea, Western clocks are not uncommon.
Old lady He Si moved away from Ming'an City for many years, but his father was the richest man in Ming'an City after all. It's something that goes beyond the regulations of the common people. There are a few things hidden in the house. What's more, it's about putting some Western goods.
When the family was separated, the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver utensils at home were divided, and the fourth old lady He also got a lot of Western objects, including Western clocks.
Moving to Sushui City, where commerce is not developed inland, these things that are not common in daily life become rare.
The fourth old lady He put the Western clock in her room, Miss He liked these novelties when she was a child, and her eyes were red, when this was a valuable thing.
Wait for her to secretly follow the fourth old lady He to Ming'an City this time. After seeing all kinds of Western clocks in the city, she still thinks that her own is the best. The Western clocks placed in those stores, whether they are in appearance and workmanship, are not a little bit worse, and if you want to say that it is good, there is only the one collected by the old lady He's house.
Yesterday, when Miss He arrived at Xia's house, she saw that there was one in Mrs. He's house, and her heart was also ordinary, this old lady was the heart of the ancestor, and the dowry she gave must have been a good thing.
When she went to the Eternal Residence and saw a beautiful and delicate Western clock in the house. She couldn't help but think in her heart that the Xia family was rich. Mrs. He really didn't lie to her.
And Zhen Xuan's one, the dial is decorated with gemstones, and the watch hand is shining, I am afraid it is pure gold, which shook Miss He's eyes, and the clear voice echoed in her ears, and she didn't go for a long time.
Miss He was envious, even more jealous, she no longer looked at the Western clock, but looked at the other furnishings in the room, she couldn't understand the stubborn stone, and finally fell on Yu Ruyi.
The jade color is clear, and the carving is exquisite.
She hadn't seen anything comparable to these two jade ruyi in the Immortal Residence yesterday.
An idea popped into my head.
"I heard that my cousin-in-law is from an official family, and when I think I came to the boudoir, my family education was very strict and she was very disciplined, right?" Miss He suddenly laughed when she said this, and even deprecated herself, "It's different from merchants like us." ”
Zhen Xuan didn't understand what Miss He wanted to say for a while, but she didn't answer, just waiting for her to continue.
Miss He raised her hand and pointed at Yu Ruyi.
Zhen Xuan didn't follow Miss He's fingertips to look at Yu Ruyi, and her gaze stopped on her impatiens dyed nail piece.
If you want Zhen Xuan to say, don't talk about her unpleasant eyes, Miss He's appearance is beautiful, but she has one shortcoming, that is, her complexion, her skin is not fair at all, and she is yellow. In order to cover up the "ugliness", Miss He's face was covered with a lot of powder, but it became more and more fake.
Miss He paid attention to her face, but ignored her hands, which were yellow, but she was dyed with orange impatiens.
Seeing Zhen Xuan staring at her armor, Miss He couldn't help but feel proud, and her tone became more and more uncontrollable, all sarcastic: "Why did such a good thing stay in her own room, shouldn't you honor your elders?" Even I know that what the elders don't have, I can't use it myself. ”
After speaking, Miss He stared at Zhen Xuan, wanting to see how she justified herself.
Miss He waited to see Zhen Xuan's ashamed headache, but she didn't want the other party to laugh.
"Miss Biao doesn't know that these two jade ruyi are things given by the emperor, and they were added to my makeup when I got married. The emperor gave such a precious dowry, even the elders, and there was no reason to offer it. After Zhen Xuan finished talking about Yu Ruyi, she said to Mrs. Zheng again, "There are also a lot of things given from the palace in my grandmother's house, some of which can be rewarded to our juniors, and some can only be kept by our side, even if it is not in accordance with the rules to move to the Eternal Residence." ”
The more Miss He listened, the darker her face became, and she gritted her teeth and glared at the two jade ruyi.
I don't know!
is obviously saying that she doesn't know the origin of things, but secretly doesn't she mean that her merchant girl doesn't understand the rules of the official family and the royal rules?
It's just that before this, she was still pressed by the fact that she was born in a merchant but knew the rules, and in just a few words, she was all pushed back, how could she be comfortable.
Seeing Miss He's angry expression, Zhen Xuan was even more reluctant to say more to her, the other party was here to find trouble, so it was better to send it away early, saving her own time.
Zhen Xuan took the tea and said, "Seeing that it's all this hour, I'm here, lunch is made in the kitchen alone, and the things that pregnant women eat are not the same, and they are not suitable for you as a boudoir girl, so I won't keep you." Are you still waiting for Miss Biao to have dinner in Pingcui Garden? ”
Serving tea to the guests, Zhen Xuan made it clear.
The painting opened the curtain and asked Miss He to go out.
Miss He didn't seem to hear it at all, but she didn't move.
Zhihua couldn't look down on Miss He's style, and said, "Miss Table, please." ”
This is a bright and shaky rush of people, Miss He is angry and rushes up, if she just goes out like this, won't this confrontation become her complete defeat?
I came to Tianyi Courtyard on the big day to meet the rumored cousin-in-law who was the same age as her but was born superior, not to show face.
Before coming over today, Miss He asked someone to inquire among the Xia family's servants.
Choosing a servant to inquire, Miss He has her reasons.
Proud like her, she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in the face of her elders, she always has to have some rules, as for those subordinates, she will reward if she is happy, and fight if she is not happy, do you want to pretend in front of these minions? Anyway, they are all minions, and if they dare to disobey her, they will be killed.
After inquiring around, everyone said that the second grandmother has a good temperament, is easy to get along with, and treats people well.
Miss He believed it and came over early to call out, but she didn't get any benefits.
This Pei Zhenxuan turned out to be a woman who behaved in front of her slaves, deceived everyone else, and she was not a good product at all!
Miss He gritted her silver teeth, even if she wanted to leave, she would also stab Zhen Xuan a few more words.
"It's a shame that you're still from a family and understand the rules of a big family. Obviously she is pregnant, but she doesn't arrange someone in the house for her husband, and puts a half-sick aunt in front of her. Tsk, if this is in our water city, it will not only be unvirtuous. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhen Xuan had not yet expressed his position, and the chess and painting tools were pale, and he lowered his head.
Miss He saw it in her eyes and thought that they were waiting for such an opportunity, but she was pressed down by the housewife, and she was not angry. The contempt in her eyes was overflowing, and she was also contemptuous to Zhen Xuan and the two maids.
Zhen Xuan also saw that her understanding was completely opposite to Miss He, and she was frightened by Miss He when she played chess and painted.
Miss He's words were upside down before, which made no sense, but it was still something that a daughter's family could say, and now this sentence is out of line.
It's unprecedented, for a young lady to say such a thing without face or skin, and with a face that she deserves.
If it weren't for Zhen Xuan in the house, I'm afraid that the painting would have to refute it first, and then talk about it, I'd rather get a beat afterwards than ask Miss He to drag it down the river.
"Miss Cousin is not right in what she said. You are there is yours, this is Yongzhou, how can it be the same? It's like our young lady in Yongzhou, how can she discuss the matter between her cousin and sister-in-law. You said it so bluntly, it's probably your rules there, right? After Zhen Xuan said this, she looked at Miss He with cold eyes, and before she could refute, she sneered, "Then again, what does the matter in my house have to do with Miss Biao?" You're too busy. ”
Miss He stood up suddenly, pointed at Zhen Xuan, and the word "you" was in her throat, and she couldn't say it for a long time.
Zhen Xuan gestured to her and asked her to send Miss He away.
Zhiqi was respectful and said, "The slave maid sends Miss Watch." But his hand was hard, holding Miss He out of the headband.
Seeing the painting, he came over and set up the other side, and the two of them "invited" the angry Miss He out of the main house.
The two maids who were waiting outside to come with Miss He saw that Miss He was at a loss, and hurriedly came up: "What is the reason for this, two girls!" ”
The painting let go of Miss He and pushed her into the arms of the two maids, and his tone was not good: "I also want to ask the two of you how to serve Miss Cousin." Miss Cousin just arrived yesterday, and today you told her to walk so far under the sun. I'm going to prepare a soft couch, and you can send Miss Watch back quickly. ”——
This cousin is the type that 96 rarely writes, and she is a different kind of neuropathy...... (To be continued......)
