Chapter 417: Refusing to Speak Thoroughly
Back at the residence, Dong Qing played with the pottery man he bought back from the market.
The door was pushed open, and a maidservant girl entered.
"Madame!" The maidservant bowed and said, "The eldest lady is invited." ”
Mrs. Liu came to invite her when she returned from the market, which was unexpected by Dong Qing.
"Why did someone come and ask me?" Dong Qing asked.
"Didn't say it!"
Motioning for the maid to retreat, Dong Qing straightened her temples and walked out of the room.
When Zhen Xiao was in Yecheng, Mrs. Liu never invited her to go.
She is only Yuan Xi's wife's room, and in Mrs. Liu's eyes, except for the biological Yuan Shang, the rest are outer rooms, and there is no need to be close.
I asked Dong Qing to go, not just to talk to her.
On the way to Mrs. Liu's residence, Dong Qing's mind was churning about how to deal with it later.
It is easy to refuse, and if Mrs. Liu makes the same request, the slightest inappropriate wording will cause trouble.
Dong Qing came, and the maid outside the door went to pass the ceremony.
But after a while, the maid returned and said to Dong Qing: "Madame, please!" ”
After thanking the maid, Dong Qing came to Mrs. Liu's door, and entered the house after the ceremony.
Mrs. Liu was sitting in the room, playing with the jewels and jade ornaments on the table.
Dong Qing entered, and she didn't even raise her head.
"The second son's concubine, Dong Qing, has seen Madame!" Dong Qing bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite." Mrs. Liu said: "You are from a merchant family, and you should know something about gold, jewelry, and jade. Hebei subordinates sent some kitsch gadgets, I don't recognize them, I specially invite you to come to verify! ”
"It's true that the concubine was born in a merchant family, and she also recognizes some of the gold and jewelry. If it's a strange thing, I don't dare to say that I must see it through. ”
Mrs. Liu glanced up at Dong Qing.
She didn't say anything full. Let Mrs. Liu feel that this woman is extraordinary.
"Come and talk!" A close smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Mrs. Liu said, "Come and sit in front of me!" ”
Take a few steps forward. Closer to Mrs. Liu, Dong Qing said: "The concubine is humble, and she doesn't dare to sit next to Mrs. Liu." If the lady has something, tell the concubine to do it! ”
Before she could say the purpose of inviting her to come, Dong Qing seemed to be obedient and pushed the whole matter on Mrs. Liu's head, so that Mrs. Liu did not dare to underestimate her.
"I want you to sit, just sit down!" Mrs. Liu said: "How do you stand aside and taste? ”
At first, revealing a hint of embarrassment, Dong Qing finally said: "Since the lady has a life, the concubine has transgressed!" ”
I sat down on the side of the low table. Dong Qing lowered her head, didn't dare to look at the gold jewelry on the table, let alone look directly at Mrs. Liu.
The more respectful she was, the more Mrs. Liu felt that she was extraordinary.
Picking up a piece of emerald jade, Mrs. Liu asked Dong Qing: "This thing is a gift from the history of the Bingzhou Thorn, you can take a look at it for me, it is polished with what jade material." ”
Taking the jade jue with both hands, Dong Qing looked at it carefully, and said to Mrs. Liu: "The materials for this thing come from Southwest Waiyi. The polishing craftsman is a person from the Central Plains. The materials are exquisite, only take a good jade heart, polishing and carving is more attentive, if it is in the world, it should be priceless. ”
Mrs. Liu nodded approvingly, and then took out some strange things and handed them to Dong Qing to play with.
Dong Qing identified them one by one. Mrs. Liu was also breathtaking.
"It will take many days for Xianyi to marry you and enter the door." Mrs. Liu said: "You and I have never spoken like we do today. ”
"Madame runs the inner house, and hundreds of people in the family have to work hard, and the main room asks Mrs. for peace every day and is overwhelmed. How can I have the leisure to talk to the concubine. ”
Dong Qing replied respectfully, and lost no time in patting Mrs. Liu's ass.
Mrs. Liu smiled indifferently and said, "Since Mrs. Zhang became a wife. I also have some leisure, and there are many people who give her everything that should be done in the house. ”
Keep your head down. Dong Qing didn't respond.
She said that nothing was appropriate.
If Mrs. Zhang overstepped her bounds, she undoubtedly questioned Yuan Shao's decision.
Exaggerate Mrs. a few words, Mrs. Liu must be unhappy, it is better not to say anything, but it is meaningful.
Dong Qing was speechless, and Mrs. Liu sighed softly.
"Madame seems to be troubled?" Dong Qing said: "If what the concubine said is wrong, please forgive!" ”
"You kid, I didn't say anything, why do you have so many eyes?" Mrs. Liu smiled slightly and said to Dong Qing: "I sigh, just because Xianfu is not angry!" did a lot of wrong things, which annoyed Yuan Gong. ”
finally led to the topic, Dong Qing didn't say more.
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mrs. Liu again.
Mrs. Liu stared at her: "Xianxin is about to return to Yecheng, and Duke Yuan will entrust Hebei to him." Xianfu has offended him, and if the brothers do not get along in the future, how can I mediate between them? ”
"This is a major event of the Yuan family, and the concubine is humble and does not dare to speak falsely."
"By inviting you to come, I trust you." Mrs. Liu said: "You and I still have a lot of time to move around, how can you say these foreign words? ”
"Madame doesn't regard the concubine as an outsider, and the concubine will talk a lot." Dong Qing said: "The third prince and the fifth prince are fighting for only Hebei, and Yuan Gong is happy with the fifth prince now." The third prince inherited Hebei, and only the fifth prince died......"
Peeking at Mrs. Liu, seeing that her expression was not unusual, Dong Qing continued: "If the fifth prince returns to Yecheng, once he takes charge of the overall situation......
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Mrs. Liu already understood.
"What do you think you should do?" Mrs. Liu said: "Gong Feng once told me that the Yuan family's back house can be a counselor, and you are the only one!" ”
"Feng Gong once looked for a cheap concubine." Dong Qing said: "Duke Yuan drove the second son back to Youzhou. I am the only one left in Yecheng, I am the concubine of the second son, if there is an incident, Yuan Gong will inevitably be angry with the second son, so I dare not agree to meet the father! ”
"If you are willing to help, I will take care of anything happening." Mrs. Liu said: "As a mother, just hope that Xianfu will not get into the trouble of killing!" ”
"Madame only wants this, but it is much easier to do, just go to Mrs. Zhang's residence and walk around." Dong Qing said: "The fifth prince is filial, and if Mrs. Zhang is willing to say a few good words, he will definitely not be embarrassed!" ”
Looking for Dong Qing to come, Mrs. Liu originally planned to discuss with her to deal with Yuan Xu.
I didn't expect Dong Qing to be slippery like a loach.
It seems to have a lot of insightful suggestions, but in fact it is useless at all!
"I'm clumsy and can't say anything." Mrs. Liu said: "Why don't you accompany me to walk around more, with your cleverness, you can convince Mrs. Zhang!" ”
"Madame has orders, how dare she disobey them!" Dong Qing bowed.
I was going to buy Dong Qing with a table full of gold beads and jade, but after only a few words with her, Mrs. Liu could be sure that it was impossible to shake her with wealth alone!
Picking up two things that were not very valuable from the table, Mrs. Liu said to Dong Qing: "Please come and distinguish the gold and jade, you can't make you go back empty-handed, you can take these two things back and play with them." ”
Dong Qing didn't refuse, thanked Mrs. Liu, and respectfully accepted the gift. (To be continued.) )
