Chapter 4 The Truth Is Seen in Front of the Man

I may not be a bodhisattva's heart, my left arm touched the smelly, uncomfortable flower clothes, and the right side fell two steps to follow the crying girl Guiyan, and behind me trotted two simplely dressed second-class maids. I walked with a bunch of henchmen towards the old lady's courtyard where the house was located, and the three girls were panting and almost couldn't catch up with me.

The old lady's courtyard also has an elegant name, replaced by Qiushitang, the area is huge, and the decoration is chic, look at a very old woman, but there is also Yizhi in the center of the courtyard to dig out a small pond, the sky is connected with the blue sun lotus, but also from the outside to lead the living water in, the center of a small pavilion with wind on all sides, the scenery of the canopy but enjoy it every year, it is really a feeling to look at.

When I went, the old lady was about to take a nap at noon, and the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in each room were huddled in her large hall to wait. The maid in front of the door stopped me in surprise, looked at the three girls behind me, and said that I should go in first, but don't scare the old lady.

"Then bother, sister, I'll talk to me first." I smile softly on my face, but my heart is very lively, and I am frightened just by seeing me like this? What should I do if I fall on my back and have a convulsion in one breath?

I don't know how this maid at the door is spreading, a noble lady came out to greet me in person, I heard several maids call her the third wife, I am the second lady of the house, the daughter of the regular prime minister's house, then I want to come to this lady should be the third master of this family, the wife of my nominal third uncle.

I was short: "Third wife." ”

The third lady sighed and said, "Why is the second girl still wearing this dress." ”

Do I have a change of clothes? I silently rolled my eyes inwardly.

Seeing that I didn't have time to talk back, the third lady said again: "Go back and change, the old lady is the most disciplined, but everyone around her is well-dressed, where is you like this, you don't comb your hair and don't pay attention to it, be careful to let the old lady teach you a lesson." ”

I said, "Then I have to teach the old lady a lesson." Then he passed over her, opened the curtain and went into the house.

Wow, it's a lot of extravagance, and the smell of fat powder in it is mixed up and drilled straight into my head, and it smells confusing.

"With that cream these days, my mother looks a few years younger."

"There are more than 60 people, and if you use some expensive ones, you can only do that."

The room was full of neatly dressed noblewomen, each chatting happily on their own hat stools. It's a pity that I didn't have a prickly head to break in, and their topic stopped, and they all sat and looked at me, and the old lady also put away the happy smile when she was touted, and her stocky body pressed against the main seat, and she was proud and majestic: "Second girl, what are you doing?" ”

I raised the clothes in my hand: "Come and thank the ancestors for their reward." ”

The old lady looked like she was facing a great enemy, but when she heard this, her face eased: "If you like it, just look at it!" I don't wear it to let everyone see if it fits. But this dress really wasn't picked up by your grandmother, look at this big red and gold material, it should be a treasure from the palace. ”

I glanced at Gui Yan, who was trembling behind me, and asked, "Rewarded by the head of the palace?" ”

The old lady smiled: "You kid is also sincere, why don't I understand this when I talk about it?" This garment is your future husband, sent to you by the prince of Yue! Let you, wear this dress, dress up, and go with him for tonight's begging festival! ”

For a moment, the whole room burst into laughter, with a handkerchief covering the corners of their mouths, but their eyes glancing at me from time to time.

I secretly glanced around, the old one has the city, the joy and anger are invisible, the ass is still sitting firmly on the stool, the young ones don't have such good stamina, the faces like flowers are full of disdain, jealousy, and indifference, one of the most eye-catching, she is standing at the forefront to catch people's attention, and she doesn't know how to restrain some emotions.

"Then my granddaughter is wronged," I said to the old lady with a smile, "my granddaughter has a smart nose since she was a child, and this dress has been smoked with more than one kind of fragrance, and the smell is called a thousand flowers, and the granddaughter will sneeze and sneeze as soon as she receives it, and she will not dare to change it at all." ”

This old lady has lived for a long time and has become a fine person, and when the noble ladies in the room have not reacted, she has already sunk her face slightly, and said to me: "Each family in the palace has its own tailor, only this is the case of smoked clothes, how to smoke after the garment, what to smoke, how many times to smoke, the habits of each family are different, and there is nothing to say. But the Yue Wangfu is different, the clothes of the Yue Wangfu are all made by the palace workshop, and the materials for the palace factory to smoke the clothes must be Zhilan Xun Yaxiang, how can there be more taste? ”

"Who is Xu kind enough to try it for his granddaughter?" I combed my fingers and combed the hair that had fallen on my shoulders, "Actually, my own sister, if you wear mine, I will wear yours, it's nothing more than greedy for freshness, and it will save a lot of money to hire a tailor to make it again." ”

The old lady also had a little bit in her heart, but she wanted to make peace with the mud, so she said in a stack: "Yes, yes." ”

"However, this garment is no better than the clothes made by the sisters on a daily basis, but this garment is given by the king, and what the prince rewards is what the king rewards. The old lady thinks about it, if someone secretly gives away this dress today, I will sell it in front of the prince at most and be a fool, and I should be a cover for my sisters, but in the future, if people know that the clothes are not in my hands and sue the superiors, it will be the crime of deceiving the king. ”

If you don't know your clothes today, you will dare to ignore the emperor's food tomorrow.

When the old lady heard this, her face was ten times worse than I had imagined, and she seemed to have stepped on some sore spot in her. She took a deep breath, called a noble lady out, and asked, "Big lady, you are in charge of the inner courtyard, how could this dress not reach your daughter's hands!" ”

The lady who was ordered by the old lady to be my mother's lady on the same day had a Buddha face, she got up from the first chair under the head, lowered her head and replied: "As soon as the daughter-in-law got the reward sent by the Yue Wangfu, she hurriedly asked someone to send it to the second girl. ”

Gui Yan was brought into the door by me, and was kneeling beside her and crying, and this named aunt was not qualified to stand in this room to serve, the old lady patted the mahogany handle, and commanded majestically: "Go, go and bring Aunt Gui in for me!" ”

The man was quickly brought up, and was literally thrown to his knees.

The old lady glanced at me, and saw that my expression remained unchanged and she was at ease, so her face became even more ugly, and she asked sharply: "The clothes that the Yue Wangfu gave to the second girl, and the eldest lady asked the two of you to send them to her, where did you send them?" ”

Guiyan sobbed and refused to speak, but Aunt Gui was stunned, she turned her head to the dignified eldest lady sitting and asked, "Madam, at that time, you said that the second girl couldn't wear this dress, so let the slave maid send it to the eldest girl." ”

The eldest lady didn't say anything, but a young girl standing beside her was already uneasy, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Old lady, the granddaughter has not taken the clothes. ”

The old lady said, "Why don't you ask someone to smell the smell of this garment and how similar is the spice you use?" ”

That girl is also stupid, the evidence is in front, and if she recruits it, forget it, so she has to lie and set such a set for herself. Sure enough, as soon as the old lady who was very deep in Taoism said this, the girl's pretty face instantly turned purple, and she ran forward to defend: "The granddaughter has touched this dress, but she has no intention of letting go." ”

"Old lady, the eldest girl has her hands," Guiyan, who had only been crying blindly and refused to speak, suddenly raised her head, tears on her face were faintly bright, and she said in a dumb voice, "But when I went with Aunt Gui to deliver clothes to the second girl, I happened to pass by the yard of the eldest girl, and Aunt Gui probably thought that the clothes were good-looking, so she pulled me in to show the eldest girl, and the eldest girl only touched a few times and returned it, Xu was stained with the fragrance of the eldest girl at that time." ”

Not to mention whether this is "returned after a few touches", or was frightened by the prince's extra Qixi clothes and travel, and "I returned it after a few wears", I said that this reaction ability of Aunt Gui was calculated coldly, I have to raise my finger to my mother-in-law.

If my guess is correct, the eldest girl is Aunt Gui's biological daughter. This Aunt Gui looks like she has never seen the world, and her chin can see a sharp sourness, and she must be stuffed into her daughter first.

And the eldest lady sits on the fishing profits, if I don't pursue it, but I sold a personal favor to Aunt Gui's mother and daughter, if I investigate, then simply sell Aunt Gui backhanded, anyway, it is not a fuel-efficient commodity compared to the eldest daughter who can give birth to the master, and it can be removed early and can be cleaned in front of the eyes.

It seems that this eldest lady is not a good stubble, this old lady of the Tang Mansion has become a fine, and she can even buy the maids around her.

I didn't want to get involved in the struggle between these women, so I put away my clothes and said, "Old lady, it's not too early for this day, since the prince of Yue has entrusted me with a letter, I think the person who came to greet me is also coming." The granddaughter went to freshen up and get ready to get up first. ”

"Clothes," said the old lady, "if you are uncomfortable in dressing, you don't need to wear them, lest you lose your appearance and make the prince unhappy, and it just so happens that I have asked a tailor outside to make new clothes for your sisters, and you can pick one at will and take it." ”

I deliberately asked, "If the prince delves into this dress, how can I put it on?" ”

"How do you answer?" The old lady said, "Everyone is our own sister, so you should know how to answer." ”

I smiled, okay, I know how to answer.
