I didn't buy the tea I liked, and several ladies returned in frustration, so they could only drink the Biyou tea of Mrs. Zuoxiang's house, although it was not as leisurely and delicious as the cuiyan catechu, but it was also the top quality of the tea.

As soon as Zuo Xiang entered the house, he heard the laughter from the backyard and knew that his wife had invited guests to drink tea and chat.

"Sister, tell me what just happened?" The person who spoke was Chen, the wife of the right minister, who liked to listen to some gossip and interesting stories of the official wives on weekdays, and when she saw the wife of the left prime minister coming out of the private room with a deflated expression earlier, she was of course curious about what was going on at that time.

Everyone was curious, even the Zuo Xiang, who was listening to the corner.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang was obviously very reluctant to mention this topic, but everyone looked at her with blank eyes, and she could only condense what had just happened before saying it, "Sitting in the private room is the woman who has no one in her eyes at the banquet, and the lady of her in the mouth of Blood Feather." ”

When it came to the women at the banquet, this group of ladies who had nothing to do all day long became even more energetic, asking one after another, and they were not afraid that Mrs. Zuo Xiang would be upset.

"Sister, tell us carefully, what happened after we went in?" It's still that Chen, and now Mrs. Zuo Xiang has a headache when she hears her voice, and she doesn't want to say anything about her shame at all.

only talked about some of the things that were not, such as who were sitting in the private room, and what Ji Mi said to her, never mentioning that her personal maid had contradicted Ji Mi's maid just now.

The big guy felt bored when he heard it, but Zuo Xiang, who was listening through the wall, felt that things were not so simple, if he could catch up with that noble woman, it would be of great help to his future career. After thinking a lot in his heart, Zuo Xiang tiptoed away.

This person will never know contentment, the position of the left prime minister is already above ten thousand people under one person, but he still thinks about some things and status that do not belong to him, and the result can only be beyond his expectations.

Zuo Xiang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to ask his wife to bring up some gifts to visit the Blood Fan Building tomorrow, the excuse, it was the matter of today's teahouse, if it was to apologize, and with a gift in his hand, no one would stop him even if he was unhappy. Zuo Xiang felt that his own plan was seamless, but he didn't know that when his wife really arrived at the Blood Fan Building with a big bag and a small bag, Ji Mi saw through his little trick at a glance.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zuo Xiang led her two daughters and carried a lot of things to the Blood Fan Building.

Even if she is Mrs. Zuo Xiang, if she wants to enter the Blood Fan Tower, she will have to go through some twists and turns, not to mention, they did not hand over the worship post in advance, so they came in a hurry, if it wasn't for the guards who saw that they were looking for Ji Mi, it would have been impossible to put them in the Blood Fan Tower.

This finally entered the Blood Fan Building, and they had to be taken to the reception hall by someone, and a special person checked whether the things they brought were harmful, and then searched before they could continue to walk inside.

After all these twists and turns, Ji Mi didn't see it, but she saw Yuegui who opened the door for her last time, this time facing Yuegui, Mrs. Zuo Xiang's face was very different, without the domineering last time, but a lot more humble.

Yuegui glanced at the gifts her two daughters were carrying, and refused in a cold tone, "Madame hasn't gotten up yet, please go back." Besides, my wife doesn't lack anything, and you can't use these things in your hands. ”

In the eyes of Mrs. Zuo Xiang, Ji Mi is a top-notch existence without an official position, even an ordinary maid under her cannot be easily provoked, let alone a cronie around her.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang sat in the reception hall with a gentle face, "Don't get in the way, when will Mrs. get up, and when will you see us...... Today's main thing is to apologize for yesterday's incident, this thing is put down, and if you don't apologize in person, you can't say it. ”

Okay, then you can just wait and see how long you can wait. Yuegui turned her head and left the reception hall with a disdainful expression, she couldn't look down on these small favors that were not pure-minded.

The mother and daughter waited anxiously, but they didn't see Ji Mi come out at lunchtime, and the eldest daughter looked displeased, "Mother, she clearly has no opinion on us, why do you have to wait here, it's better to leave." ”

The youngest daughter also echoed her sister's words, but how could Mrs. Zuo Xiang come here in vain, although she also wanted to leave like this, but the old man couldn't make a difference...... Now that the mother clan is declining, if she does this, no one will be able to shake her position in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in the future...... Whatever her purpose, she couldn't just leave.

After half a pillar of incense, Ji Mi finally cleaned up, but looking at her energetic appearance, the three of them knew that she deliberately let them wait here, how could she be so energetic as soon as she got up? Even if you're not tired, you have to look sleepy-eyed.

"Fetch something for my husband to go back to Beiyue, Mi'er will play by herself today, good." Chiyo Mu pecked Ji Mi's forehead lightly before leaving, and the expressions of the husband and wife were the same sweet.

But the three of them are not paying attention to Ji Mi who is belated, but Chiyo Mu, who has already left, looking at the intimacy of these two...... Could it be that the man is the owner of the blood feather? Mrs. Zuo Xiang has her own careful thoughts, but her two daughters are full of Chiyomu's overly handsome face.

To tell the truth, whether it is the height of Chiyo Mu's facial features or voice, it is too easy to arouse people's fantasies, the two women are at a good age, and it is not an exaggeration to be attracted by Chiyo Mu's appearance, but it is so blatant that Ji Mi is inevitably a little displeased, she coughed lightly twice to remind the two, "I slept a little late last night, so I waited for a long time." ”

Mrs. Zuo Xiang's eldest daughter looked at this woman of her age, and her words were sour, "Madame is really sleeping, she can sleep for so long in one sleep." ”

Mrs. Zuo Xiang on the side hurriedly dragged her daughter and asked her to talk less, Ji Mi ignored her meaning, smiled indifferently, and walked down the stairs, "I really sleep well." ”

The flatness in Ji Mi's tone was beyond the expectations of the three of them, it seemed that this young lady was not as unpopular as they imagined, and now it seemed that she was still quite easy to speak.

"The purpose of the three of you coming here, she also told me, it's not necessary, I didn't remember the incident itself, I don't need it, take it back." Saying that, Ji Mi turned her face sideways and looked at Yuegui on the side, and then turned her head and smiled lightly at the three of them.

This smile also made Mrs. Zuo Xiang not know what to reply, but the little daughter was calm and pushed the gift forward, "This is a little bit of mother's heart, Mrs. accept it, and Mrs. doesn't want to see what is there?" ”

I really don't want to see it. Although Ji Mi thought so in her heart, she still stretched out her hand to the pile of gifts and opened the most luxurious brocade box, which was actually a night pearl the size of her fist lying on An Sheng.

Although Ji Mi's hand is not big, if the night pearl is as big as her fist, it is worth a lot, and she knows very well what the real purpose of the three mother and daughter is here.

I thought that she would be shocked to see such a big night pearl, but I didn't expect Ji Mi to look down on the night pearl in the box at all, so she closed the brocade box again, and Ji Mi pushed the box in front of Mrs. Zuo Xiang again, and played with the Buddha beads in her hand, "No need, I don't lack these jewels, take them back." ”

It shouldn't be, the expressions of the three of them are surprisingly consistent, the three of them were about to fall out when they saw such a big night pearl at the beginning, why did she feel a little disgusted after seeing it? Is there really no shortage of these things? Also...... When did the people of the Blood Fan Building care about these things outside their bodies.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang is more concerned about the string of Buddhist beads that Ji Mi is holding in her hand, if she is not mistaken, this string of Buddhist beads is made of ice blue dragon crystal on the back of the ice dragon, and the luster of each one is piled up of gold! No wonder people don't care about such a night pearl!

"Madame...... This string of Buddhist beads in your hand ......" After Mrs. Zuo Xiang asked, her two daughters also noticed the string of Buddhist beads held by Ji Mi.

Ji Mi looked at the bead string in her hand, "This, the hostess of the dwelling Ji Ji gave me, saying that it can remove the cold in the body, and I take it with me every day, so I will take it out and plate it a few times if I have nothing to do." Ji Mi could see that the three of them were very interested in the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she also knew the value of this string of Buddhist beads.

This Mrs. Zuo Xiang originally wanted to take the night pearl to please her, but she didn't expect to be hooked by her string of Buddhist beads.

But when the three of them heard that it was sent by Ji Ji, they quickly lost their thoughts, but then their eyes never left the string of dragon crystal Buddha beads in Ji Mi's hand.

"That's the kind of lady...... I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday, and the concubine really doesn't know that it's your private room......" Mrs. Zuo Xiang is full of remorse at this moment, both in her expression and tone, but how much remorse there is, only she knows.

Ji Mi doesn't like to listen to these three-point true and seven-point false words, it's boring to be hypocritical, just at this time Xueyu came to find her, but it was a savior, as soon as Xueyu came in, his eyes were all on Ji Mi's body, and he directly ignored the three people around him, "Little Mi, you are really idle for a day, sure enough, the life of a noble lady is something we can't climb~"

Her joking tone made Ji Mi laugh, "If you marry quickly, you will become a noblewoman, as far as I know, there are a lot of small coffers in your family~"

The scene of the two joking with each other is common in the eyes of Laurel Lanxiang and them, but in the eyes of Mrs. Zuo Xiang and them, it is really rare to see Blood Feather smile in a hundred years, she often appears in front of everyone with a cold attitude, no one has ever seen her have an expression on her face, today is really strange, it seems that the relationship between this woman and Blood Feather is really good......

But...... What's more! What did they hear?! Blood Feather actually has a good man?! Who is it, who is it! Keep talking, don't stop!

Ji Mi noticed the three people who were eavesdropping with their ears pricked up, and their eyes gestured to Blood Feather, who quickly changed his expression to the same indifferent and distant as when facing outsiders in the past, "I'll go up first, come here after you chat, I'm waiting for you." ”

After the blood feather left, the atmosphere slowly cooled down again, a few people sat in the reception hall and didn't know what to talk about, Ji Mi waited for them to talk, and the three women were a little bored and didn't see the three women have the intention of speaking, but when they were about to give the eviction order, they saw Mrs. Zuo Xiang take out a gilded invitation from her wide sleeve.

Invited her to a banquet again? In the past two days alone, she has received ten banquet invitations, right? What's going on with these people? Don't you avoid her at the banquet? How can you engage in such a small action in private?

Ji Mi took a closer look at the invitation she handed forward, accepted the invitation but gave an ambiguous reply, "I accepted the invitation, three of you, please go back, I still have something to do, so I won't send it." ”

……

After listening to the story of his wife and daughter, Zuo Xiang felt that this Ji Mi was really a difficult bone to gnaw, so many jewels could not enter her eyes, but she also blamed Mrs. for her incompetence and couldn't get a little girl.

Although Mrs. Zuo Xiang had the heart to refute, she didn't dare to directly point out the master's mistake, she was now in trouble with her mother's family, and she was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how could she dare to offend her only big tree, so she could only silently endure her husband's scolding, and the surrounding concubines looked at it and sneered, but fortunately, the two daughters were able to drive everyone away.

"Father don't say that about mother, that woman doesn't eat oil and salt, even if her father goes, it may not be useful." The eldest daughter who spoke was a good friend of the crown prince who was beloved by Emperor Zhenyuan, so the father would not treat her well, but only told her to stay in his room.

The eldest daughter knew that if she left her mother, she would not have good fruit to eat, so she only helped her mother who was kneeling on the ground to her feet, dropped a cold sentence, and then took her mother away.

Back in the room, Mrs. Zuo Xiang couldn't cry, hugged her two daughters and cried, when the old man pursued her, it was not like this, but also very diligent, from time to time to send a string of pearl necklaces, send a jade ring, I didn't think that this became a wife, but ended up in such a field, now thinking about it, he should have only taken a fancy to the power of her mother's family, and now that the mother's family is declining, he naturally does not put her in the eyes of the old pearl wife.

"Mother don't do that...... You still have a daughter, my sisters will not ignore your ......" Mrs. Zuo Xiang has many problems, but her love for her daughter is also true, and her hard work has allowed her to get two filial daughters, and these two sisters are her greatest hope and satisfaction in the second half of her life.

In the eyes of the two sisters, the mother is much more important than the father, but after all, they are children, and they can't disobey their father openly...... It will also affect the mother.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang hugged her two daughters tightly, and she couldn't care about the makeup that was wet with tears, "Don't believe the man's words...... The only thing you can believe in this world is yourself, remember? This is the truth that she has only figured out over the years, it turns out that she has always thought that she can live with the master, but it was during this time that the mother family had problems and really saw his personality.

In this world, no one can live without anyone, and the one who can be relied on has to be himself.

The daughter remembered...... Mother don't be sad...... "The eldest daughter really feels sorry for her mother, she was weak and sick when she was a child, and her mother always worked tirelessly day and night to take care of her, humming for her, praying to Buddha and worshipping God for her, and because of this, there is always a smell of sandalwood on her mother's body, but this smell makes her extremely relieved, this is the taste of her mother...... It was the smell of her mother burning incense and praying day and night for her sisters.

She was never proud that she was the daughter of the left minister, only because she was the daughter of her mother, who was imperfect but irreplaceable, and her father ...... Scold...... It's just that she and her sister are treated as gifts, gifts to the royal family, and only the mother of the huge Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is really thinking about them and planning for their future.

In the afternoon, when Zuo Xiang had dinner, he took his favorite concubine to the table in the lobby, this little concubine was originally from the Qinglou, and she was not allowed to go on the stage, Zuo Xiang undoubtedly wanted to slap Mrs. Zuo Xiang's face well.

At the dining table, the two of them were like a couple with a deep love for the plaice, and the wife who was the wife was left aside, silently pulling the rice in the bowl, and she didn't see her chopsticks and dishes, and the pet concubine saw this and sandwiched the chicken leg that Zuo Xiang gave her into Mrs. Zuoxiang's dish, "Sister has to eat more, otherwise the nutrition can't keep up, the old man doesn't like people with yellow faces and thin muscles." ”

Before Mrs. Zuo Xiang could speak, she heard a loud snap, "Can't stop your mouth when you eat?" Where at this dinner table, where do you have room for this fireworks woman who can't be on the stage to speak?! ”

Okay, Zuo Xiang wanted to use his favorite concubine to slap his wife's face, but he didn't want to be slapped in the face by his eldest daughter, this eldest daughter's words worked, and the little concubine immediately retracted her smug face, Zuo Xiang only scolded a few words softly and then ate and didn't say anything more.

But it didn't take long for this little concubine to start behaving again, she had to let Zuo Xiang feed her soup, and she had to blow it cold, as a wife, Mrs. Zuo Xiang had never been treated like this, and the discomfort in her heart was naturally needless to say, but she couldn't do anything after silently enduring it.

On the contrary, the eldest daughter stopped the actions of the two and instructed the maid next to her to forcibly pour the bowl of crucian carp soup that was still a little hot into the concubine's mouth.

"What are you doing?!" Zuo Xiang finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked someone to wipe the soup off the concubine's body, and wanted to order someone to find a doctor, but was unexpectedly stopped by the eldest daughter:

"She has a concubine, and she dares to let her father, the prime minister of a country, feed her soup? As the eldest daughter of this Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, what happened to her? If she doesn't remember it for a long time today, she will kick her nose and face and don't know who the housewife is! The eldest daughter's tough tone made Zuo Xiang not react for a while, and when he reacted, his favorite concubine had already been thrown into the firewood room.
