Mrs. Yao was chatting with several official ladies in the pavilion of the flower garden, when she suddenly saw a maid hurrying over with her skirt.

"What's the hurry?" Mrs. Yao put down the teacup in her hand and said dissatisfied.

The maidservant paused, and looked at the official ladies on the side with a puzzled expression.

These are all the ladies cultivated in the big family, and it is the basic ability to observe words and looks, and to be generous and decent.

"Madam, since you have something to do, then we won't bother." The woman who spoke softly was like a warbler's cry, delicate as jade, she was the daughter of the servant family under the door, in this group of official ladies, there were fourth-grade official girls, and several fifth-grade official girls, who belonged to her Li Yingxue's status was the highest, and hesitated for a while before speaking.

Mrs. Yao nodded and said with a smile: "You young girls can still talk to each other, and you are all here to accompany me, and I am tired of thinking about it." He turned his head to the grandmother who was waiting on the side and said, "Lead the girls to the flower garden in front of them, so that they can wait." ”

Li Yingxue said with a smile: "Madame, what she said is as if she is old, we look at you, a little more delicate than those flowers." ”

Madame Yao was amused by her words, and did not see the changeable expression of the maid.

After a few people left, the maidservant said, "Madam, go up to the flower garden in front of you and take a look, Miss has let people surround it!" ”

Swallowing her saliva, the maidservant said timidly, "The lord of Hehuan is also inside...... The two seemed to be about to fight. ”

Mrs. Yao was stunned, "Why didn't you say it earlier...... Quick, lead those young ladies to other flower beds. ”

Mrs. Yao slapped her hand on the stone table angrily: "This idiot, I think she is the opposite!" ”

In the flower garden, Su Qianli turned her head and saw Mrs. Yao walking out angrily, her eyebrows frowning slightly, what happened?

Stretched out his hand to pull Jun Qingsu, who was in the fugue: "Princess, I saw Mrs. Yao go out just now, it seems to be ...... Some angry. ”

"What?"

Jun Qing was shocked after realizing it: "It's broken, it must be that Mengyuan is in trouble again, let's go over quickly." With that, he took Su Qianli out together.

"Hey, ...... me?" Su Qianli pointed at herself and hesitated.

Princess, don't you know that family feuds are not suitable for rumors?

When Su Qianli and the three of them came to the courtyard, they saw a woman in a plum-colored dress staring at Yao Mengyuan. The maidservants on both sides almost rolled up their sleeves.

The atmosphere was quite tense.

Mrs. Yao frowned displeasedly, "You stupid slaves, are you just coming from your master?" I think you don't have to pick up Miss to do bad things on weekdays, and someone will drag it down! ”

The two mothers-in-law guarding the door of the flower garden were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and when they heard the words, their faces suddenly turned pale, crying and shouting for mercy.

The two mothers-in-law were dragged away, but the cries were still in their ears. Su Qianli stood aside and half-closed her eyes.

Mrs. Yao: "Meng'er, don't be rude. There are guests coming, please come into the house quickly", and said to Du Yujiao: "The lord of Hehuan County rarely came to the house today, and the people did not serve well, please forgive me." ”

Mrs. Yao is also a person, she is the head of the lady of the capital, even the Jun family has to let her score three points, and she is in the military general's mansion, she is awe-inspiring, and she is known for her sternness and decisiveness, and she extinguished the flame between the two at once.

As soon as she arrived, the momentum of the two of them wilted, and they hurriedly withdrew Fang Cai's fierce eyes.

"Hehuan has seen Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao is fine." Even if Du Yujiao was reluctant, she had to bow her head to this lady, if it weren't for her mother's thousands of instructions, she wouldn't have come to the door to find this uncomfortable.

Mrs. Yao squinted her eyes and looked her up and down, but she did not favor Yao Mengyuan as Du Yujiao thought, and said in a moment, meaninglessly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I don't know that the county lord is so graceful." ”

Du Yujiao was stunned when she heard this, and her thin lips hooked: "Madame has won the award, compared to Miss Yao's appearance, Hehuan is not worth mentioning." ”

Su Qianli looked sideways at the county lord, daring to squeeze Mrs. Yao, I don't know if it was because of her courage or her lack of soberness.

Mrs. Yao was not annoyed, straightened her sleeves, and smiled: "It's windy outside, and they are all girls who are more delicate than flowers, so let's go into the house and talk about it." ”

After a few people entered the house, a woman suddenly walked out of the green bushes of the flower garden, dressed plainly and unpretentiously, it was Du Xuemo, she had been standing in the rockery of the green bushes, and the scene just now all fell under her eyes, and she glanced at Du Yujiao twice, her originally delicate and arrogant look was gone, only embarrassment and anger remained, and she was at a loss at first glance.

I was in a good mood. Du Xuemo hooked the corners of her lips at Du Yujiao's back, and without saying goodbye to Su Qianli, she turned around and left.

The atmosphere in the back room was very dull, Mrs. Yao sat in the front seat, her face calm, and the maids who were waiting on the side all held their breath, for fear that one of them would accidentally catch fire.

Su Qianli sat beside Jun Qingsu helplessly, looking at her nose and nose, not because she was interested in mixing in the corners of other houses, but because Jun Qingsu pulled her to stay.

Mrs. Yao's eyes rolled, and she stopped on Su Qianli for a while, her expression was dark and uncertain, and then she moved to Jun Qingsu, squinted, and her eyes circled around the room again.

"You all go down."

The maids breathed a sigh of relief and retreated as if fleeing for their lives.

Are you going to get started? Su Qianli took a cup of tea calmly and began to taste the tea.

In contrast, Jun Qingsu's state of mind was not as relaxed as hers.

Jun Qingsu lowered his head, straightened his waist, and looked as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.

In the end, she grew up under Mrs. Yao's eyes, and when Fang Cai's calm eyes fell on her, Jun Qingsu knew that Mrs. Yao was dissatisfied with her.

Is it because she made the decision to keep Su Qianli without permission?

When Yao Mengyuan saw his aunt, he thought that his backer was coming, and as soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly stepped forward to complain. However, Qingqin on the side pulled her stiffly, "Miss, Madam is angry now, don't step on the fire pit." ”

Yao Mengyuan didn't follow, thinking that his aunt was facing him, "Get out of the way!" Qingqin didn't dare to let go, "How is the young lady going to tell Madame?" Do you want to tell her what is written on that bamboo stick? And then, was robbed? ”

Yao Mengyuan was stunned, and his heart was suddenly bottomless. She didn't tell Mrs. Yao about the words on the bamboo stick, and the bamboo stick may be a great joy for other families, but for the Yao family, it is a taboo.

Especially when there is that one in the palace. She didn't dare.

Du Yujiao had also heard of Mrs. Yao's reputation, and she didn't dare to make a mistake under the roof. sat upright in the chair, as if the person who was so angry just now was not her.

After the servant served tea, Mrs. Yao said to Du Yujiao: "I took the liberty of inviting the county lord to come over today, I really want to tell you something."

No matter how arrogant and flamboyant Du Yujiao is, she is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and she is looked at lightly by Mrs. Yao, and her heart can't help but burst.

"Madame said with a smile, Houfu and the General's Mansion have always been good friends, Hehuan only came to visit today, is it a junior, what do you have to do, just tell Hehuan." Du Yujiao has been trained by aristocratic women since she was a child, and she was drenched in fine sweat on her forehead, but she also straightened her waist and replied generously.

Mrs. Yao picked up the tea, rubbed the lid of the cup lightly, and was not in a hurry to get down to business, and smiled casually: "The county lord is knowledgeable and courteous, and his posture is dignified, so let Meng'er learn from you."

Yao Mengyuan, who was sitting on the side, lowered his eyes and was silent. However, Du Yujiao didn't expect Mrs. Yao, who was known as the 'Iron Lady', to be so talkative, and smiled lightly: "Mrs. has won the award, and Hehuan doesn't dare to be it." ”

Mrs. Yao: "How is Mrs. Hou doing?" In the last two days, I was still talking about the royal jujube mud cake in Zaojiazhuang in the letter, and it just so happened that I bought some in the house today, and you will bring two boxes back to your mother later. ”

Mrs. Yao greeted her, and Du Yujiao also loosened her tight back, "Thank you Mrs. for your concern, everything is fine with my mother, but it's autumn, ** I'm sick again, I can't eat sugar, I'm afraid I can't eat this jujube mud cake, I can only thank Mrs. Xie for a piece of heart." ”

Mrs. Yao smiled lightly: "Pastries can be eaten at any time, and your body is more important." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries back and forth, and Su Qianli was bored and surprised. Yao Mansion has such a good relationship with Ning Yuan Marquis Mansion? Then how could Yao Mengyuan get involved with this county lord.

Thinking of this, Su Qianli continued to drink tea and secretly glanced at the silent Yao Mengyuan.

The claws are put away?

Su Qianli retracted her gaze, but when she raised her eyes, she inadvertently met a pair of big eyes with coolness.

Su Qianli was startled, stabilized the calm look on her face, lowered her head and continued to stroke the teacup.

After Du Yujiao's curious gaze slipped around Su Qianli twice, she saw that the other party did not have the slightest desire to talk to her, and felt bored, so she withdrew her gaze.

The formal greetings ended.

The cup in Mrs. Yao's hand thumped and smashed on the table, and Yao Mengyuan and Du Yujiao's hearts tightened.

Mrs. Yao said lightly: "Meng'er, don't apologize to the county lord soon!" ”

Yao Mengyuan raised his head violently and looked at Mrs. Yao in disbelief. Unexpectedly, she wanted her to apologize to Du Yujiao?!

Yao Mengyuan didn't seem to believe his ears, and almost wanted to cry: "Auntie? ”

Mrs. Yao glanced at her sideways and was silent.

Du Yujiao was also stunned, and then the corners of her lips rose slightly, and she lifted the corner of her skirt, so she looked at Yao Mengyuan for a long time. Waiting for her apology.

Jun Qingsu was also shocked, and looked at Yao Mengyuan with some concern. I'm afraid that she will do something to disobey Mrs. Yao again.

Su Qianli continued to look at them lightly. According to this Miss Yao's violent temper, how can she give up?

Yao Mengyuan trembled his lips: "Auntie, you don't know, she ......", Qingqin behind him immediately coughed twice. She paused suddenly, and then a slight chill ran down her spine, and she almost said that she had leaked her mouth.

Su Qianli glanced sideways at the maid behind Yao Mengyuan.

Jun Qingsu couldn't bear Yao Mengyuan's embarrassment, "Mengyuan, listen to Madame's words, it's inevitable that there will be some stumbles between the two daughters' families, don't hurt your feelings." ”

When Du Yujiao heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had just seen Jun Qingsu on the side, Jun Qingsu said lightly, and turned their contradiction into a quarrel among her daughter's family, she sneered: "The princess is really eloquent." ”

Du Yujiao is an arrogant character, without him, it is completely a fault of being spoiled by the queen mother in the palace.

Everyone in the world knows that the Queen Mother has three loves, one is the Southern Ancient Holy Doctor, the second is the glazed luminous cup, and the third is the Lord of Hehuan. Even the Queen Mother's own son, Emperor Jing, was not ranked.

That's why she is so rude, and she doesn't even pay attention to Jun Qingsu, the princess of the orthodox bloodline of the Great Yuan.

To be rude to this point is to be pampered and arrogant. Mrs. Yao lowered her eyes and sighed in her heart: Fool.

Jun Qingsu didn't seem to see the ridicule in her eyes, and said, "After all, didn't the county lord say that the Hou Mansion has always been friendly with the General's Mansion?" ”

Du Yujiao looked stunned and glared at her indignantly. I used this to crush her!

"Humph! The county lord didn't know that the fifth princess was so close to Miss Yao. You don't need to mention the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the General's Mansion, and Hehuan also knows it. ”

Jun Qingsu and her have never met a few times throughout the year, and the things she doesn't know know are known to the whole capital.

Of course, Jun Qingsu has a reason to be close to the General's Mansion, and her biological mother, Concubine Ning, is Yao Tiande's sister-in-law.

It's just that this is serious, and if it is spread out and used by political enemies, it is likely to cause the two families to be charged with forming a private party.

The location of Yaofu is already sensitive, and a little gossip can cause Yaofu to be annoying.

Mrs. Yao's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Lord Hehuan, be cautious!" ”

Du Yujiao, who was inexplicably scolded, was also stunned for a moment, not knowing that she had almost made a disaster.

"Ma'am?" Du Yujiao frowned, "I know that Madame has always loved your good niece, but there are outsiders here today, so you can't be biased." ”

The ignorant are fearless. Mrs. Yao's eyes sank, and her tone became cold: "What, how do I act, do I still need the county lord to teach?" ”

Du Yujiao looked at Mrs. Yao's eyes, chuckled in her heart, and timidly retracted sharply. "Hehuan doesn't dare, Madame is serious......"

There was silence in the room again.

Left and right, they didn't dare to do anything to themselves. Du Yujiao lowered her head and stroked her fingertips indifferently.

Yao Mengyuan stood up awkwardly, her eyes were indignant, and she walked towards Du Yujiao step by step, Du Yujiao was frightened by her and was stunned.

"If you are offended, I hope that the county lord will look at the good relationship between the two families, don't blame it!" , Yao Mengyuan specially accentuated the four words of 'two families are friendly'.

There was silence for a while, and Du Yujiao was stunned for a moment before recovering her voice, "Hmm." ”

Fortunately, this county lord is not stupid enough to make trouble in other people's homes. Su Qianli took another sip of tea.

A farce ended when Du Yujiao got into the carriage and drove away.

Su Qianli sighed in her heart, between these people, it seems simple, but it is also very complicated. I have never been exposed to these things since I was a child, but today I have seen it.

She was sullen and in a daze, and when she put down the teacup, she accidentally spilled the tea.

The crisp sound of the cup falling to the ground was especially abrupt in the silence of the room. instantly attracted the attention of several people in the room.

Su Qianli smiled bitterly in her heart, cup, isn't it good to be low-key?

Seeing this, Jun Qingsu laughed at her sloppiness, took out a handkerchief embroidered with an orchid style, and gently wiped the water stains on her hands.

"It's not hot, is it?"

The princess's daughter, how dare Su Qianli let her help her clean up, while embarrassingly saying that it was not in the way, she took the handkerchief and did it herself.

The soft handkerchief was pinched in the palm of her hand, with a light fragrance, Su Qianli frowned slightly, why is this handkerchief a little familiar?

Mrs. Yao looked at Su Qianli and said with a faint smile: "Let Miss Su San smile today."

After all, it was because she saw other people's ugliness, Su Qianli was humble: "Where, today I was fortunate to be invited by my wife to come to the house to enjoy the flowers, and Qianli was already flattered." ”

Yao Mengyuan only noticed that there was a strange little girl here. Seeing that she behaved intimately with the princess, she immediately looked at her vigilantly.

In the end, I found that this girl had nothing special except for looking colder. The vigilance in my heart was relaxed a little. "Which girl are you?"

Yao Mengyuan's tone was flat and stiff, that was the arrogance of the superiors, Su Qianli smiled and said, "Hengguo Mansion, Su Qianli, the daughter of the squire of the military department." ”

Jun Qingsu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and he looked at her in surprise. Mrs. Yao was not surprised.

"Su Qianli? Your sister is that Su Shangfeng? Yao Mengyuan was stunned, his tone seemed to be in disbelief, and there was a hint of admiration.

Su Qianli nodded, Yao Mengyuan frowned suspiciously, and asked again, "Why have I never heard of you before?" ”

As soon as Yao Mengyuan finished asking, Mrs. Yao looked at her sideways and said in an unhappy tone: "Meng'er, you made a mistake today. ”

Being scolded in public, Yao Mengyuan's expression froze, and then he slowly got up and said, "Yes...... Meng'er will go and receive the punishment. ”

Su Qianli looked at Yao Mengyuan's departing back, and did not retract her gaze until the corner, and couldn't help but feel that this woman's temperament was really strong.

has a sister like this, I don't know what kind of person Yao Feixue is.

Although she and Yao Feixue know each other, they are not familiar with each other. Su Qianli looked at Mrs. Yao and smiled secretly in her heart, but looking at Mrs. Yao's temperament, she could probably guess a little bit of Yao Feixue's temperament.

Mrs. Yao took in Su Qianli's expression, and didn't know why she was suddenly happy, so she asked her with a smile: "Miss Susan?" ”

Jun Qingsu tugged at her robe, and Su Qianli came back to her senses, "Madame called you." ”

Su Qianli: "Huh? ”

Mrs. Yao looked at her and smiled a little deeper, "I didn't take care of it well today, so I gave these gadgets to you to apologize." ”

After that, the grandmother behind Mrs. Yao smiled and handed over a square wooden box.

Su Qianli opened it to look, her expression changed suddenly, and she looked up at Mrs. Yao with surprise in her eyes.

"Madame...... This? ”

Mrs. Yao picked up the teacup, looked at her and smiled: "I just saw you watching in that nursery for so long, I think I like it very much, although I love flowers and plants, but I am not the one who picks meat in my teeth, and you are a person who understands flowers, and I give you the blessing of those flowers." ”

Su Qianli held the wooden box in her hand, rejoiced in her heart, saluted Mrs. Yao, and thanked her sweetly: "Thank you, Madame, Qianli will definitely take good care of it!" ”

Jun Qingsu sat next to him, his eyes did not squint, the jade hand in his sleeve gradually clenched, and his face was still light.
