Chapter 21: Sit down on pins and needles
"Miss, the clothes are ready, the slave maid will change your clothes for you, please go home in style." Outside the sedan chair, the grandmother with the servants of the Wen Mansion stood respectfully on the side.
Wen Qingyao didn't move, and motioned for Yanyan to lift the curtain, Yanyan lifted the curtain and glanced at it, turned around and whispered in Wen Qingyao's ear, "It's Mama Li in Madame's room." ”
Wen Qingyao raised her eyebrows? Is it surnamed Li again?
Wen Qingyao looked out with the open curtain, Mama Li's body was slightly arched, her head was lowered, and her hands were twisted in front of her, looking particularly respectful.
And behind Mama Li, there are more than a dozen girls, they are holding different things in their hands, any of them, they are all first-class goods.
Seeing that Yanyan lifted the curtain of the car, Mama Li took a step forward, bent her knees slightly, and saluted, "Mama Li has seen the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Wen Qingyao gave Yanyan a look, Yanyan understood, and Lisuo got out of the car to help Mama Li.
As soon as Mama Li got up, Wen Qingyao said softly, "Mama doesn't have to be polite." ”
Wen Qingyao's voice was beautiful, Mama Li, who got up, secretly glanced at it, Wen Qingyao smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth outlined the face of the city, Mama Li's face did not change, but she secretly marveled in her heart.
Wen Qingyao pointed to the gorgeous dress in the maid's hand, and asked pretendly, "Mama, what are these?" ”
Mama Li stepped forward and bent down to reply respectfully, "Back to Miss, this is a change of clothes specially prepared by Madame for Miss." Madame instructed, the pig and dog are not as good as the things that make the young lady lose her dignity, and now she is back in Beijing, and she wants to be beautiful. ”
Mama Li said, took the initiative to turn around and take the gorgeous dress in the hands of the maid who was in the first place, "The slave maid changes the clothes for the young lady." ”
Wen Qingyao only smiled and didn't move, looking at these things exposed to the sun and being slightly stunned, and there was a whisper of people passing by in her ears.
"The wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really a living Guanyin, not only sympathetic to the people, but also regards her concubine as her own."
"Yes, the prime minister's wife is accustomed to being kind and charitable, and the people in the city are taken care of by his wife every year."
“……”
Wen Qingyao listened to the discussion of the people, and slandered in her heart, Ming's black heart was covered by her disguised compassionate face.
How did these people know that when the prime minister's wife, whom they said was kind and generous, gave food to the homeless, they had people put mud and sand in the porridge, and then they were the ones who found it and punished the slaves angrily, not only establishing majesty, but also making it charitable.
"Miss, Madame specially instructed Miss to take care of it. This dress is a little anxious, Xu Hui will not be in line with the miss, wronged the miss, and went back to the house to ask the lady to choose. Mama Li saw that Wen Qingyao's face was expressionless and motionless, and said the words that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Mama Li, are you confused?" Wen Qingyao's six gods returned to their positions, their eyes returned to their senses, their faces sank, and Xiuzhi's distant mountain frowned.
Mama Li's disguised respect collapsed because of Wen Qingyao's words, and a trace of gloom fell in her eyes.
Mama Li hid the anger in her eyes, looked up and was already friendly, and her smile echoed, "It is natural for the young lady to reprimand her subordinates, but the slave doesn't know what she did wrong?" ”
Wen Qingyao pointed to those things, "Mama Li, I came from Cloud City, and I all know about the death of the concubine just now, is it possible that you in the capital don't know?" ”
Mama Li's face changed suddenly, and Wen Qingyao's voice was slightly louder, enough for the people outside the sedan chair to hear, "Those bright and glamorous things have never been what I wanted, you sent them so swaggeringly, if you let someone with a heart look at it, you just say that I, the young lady raised in the nunnery, is cheesy." To put it deeply, it is that the lady does not know the etiquette. ”
Wen Qingyao had a shallow anger between her eyebrows, "If you talk deeper, this move will inevitably involve the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
With such a big hat buttoned down, Mama Li's breathing was a little short, and the people in her ears were already whispering about what the prime minister's wife did.
Mama Li hurriedly explained, "Madame just cares too much about Miss. ”
Wen Qingyao snorted coldly in the car, and said coldly, "Confused." If I really put on these things, people who don't know will think that my wife will not tolerate me, and I have just returned to Beijing, and I will want to make me wrong. ”
After Wen Qingyao finished speaking, regardless of Mama Li's stunned appearance, she called Yanyan back.
When Yanyan let go, Mama Li came back to her senses, asked people to quickly cover those things, and urged her to send them back to the house first.
"Miss, please move to the sedan chair of the Xiangfu Mansion, the sedan chair slave of the Shangshu Mansion will send people back with a good life." Being pressed by Wen Qingyao like that, Mama Li didn't dare to delay outside, and hurriedly took Wen Qingyao back home.
Wen Qingyao put on a thick veil for herself by Yanyan, and her eyes exposed were mocking, and Mama Li looked at Wen Qingyao wearing a veil at this moment, and her face was gloomy.
The mockery in Wen Qingyao's eyes grew stronger, and the Ming family sent someone to send Huashang to come today, and while fulfilling his good reputation, he was eager to make Wen Qingyao's beauty public.
Just a beautiful daughter who is raised outside, the high-ranking family will definitely not like it.
But the palace is different, Wen Qingyao is beautiful, it is not difficult to enter the palace, as long as Wen Qingyao enters the palace, Wen Qingyi does not have to accompany the old emperor, what a good scheming.
Thinking of Ming's calculations for herself, Wen Qingyao's eyes gradually became cold.
Mama Li shivered when she looked at Wen Qingyao's eyes, and Wen Qingyao was helped by Yanyan to pass by her side.
Wen Qingyao was dressed plainly, with a wide coat and covering her face, and the onlookers saw that although she was exquisite, she was so rural that she felt tasteless.
Wen Qingyao got into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as the curtain fell, she was about to sit down, her eyes darkened.
"Miss?" Yeon-yeon doesn't know why.
Wen Qingyao squatted down, and her slender hand gently pressed down on the wool cushion she was sitting on, and between the long fur stood a silver needle that was one section shorter than it.
Looking at the silver needles neatly arranged in a row, Yanyan was shocked, if Wen Qingyao didn't notice it, sitting here would be a torture.
Wen Qingyao's nails that had been raised for a month scratched through the silver needles, her face was expressionless, Yanyan was aggrieved in her heart, and she turned around to ask someone, but was stopped by Wen Qingyao, "Shhhh ”
Yanyan lowered her voice, "Miss, they just know that this is a secret loss, so they will do this, if they don't say it, there will be more such things in the future." ”
Yanyan was puffing up, and her white cheeks were slightly reddened with anger.
Wen Qingyao swept the cushion on the side, sat down steadily, reached out and pinched Yanyan's face, and said softly, "Call Mama Li in." ”
Yanyan looked at Wen Qingyao's sparkling eyes, and she already had an idea, so she obediently lifted the curtain and called Mama Li outside the carriage, "Mama Li, Miss is invited." ”
When Mama Li heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she had long expected that Wen Qingyao would call her.
Mama Li lowered her head and got into the carriage, there were embroidered shoes on both sides of her eyes, only the front was empty, Mama Li was surprised, and hurriedly spread out the manuscript of her henchman, "Please forgive me, the slave doesn't know anything." ”
Wen Qingyao looked at Mama Li, who was kneeling straight, looked coldly, was silent for a moment, and only said when Mama Li was scared that her forehead was sweating, "Mama, what's wrong?" I just wanted to invite Mama in for a cup of tea, why is Mama so nervous? ”
Mama Li looked up, Wen Qingyao smiled innocently, took the tea in Yanyan's hand and handed it to Mama Li.
Mama Li stretched out her hand tremblingly to pick it up, Wen Qingyao smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were cold and piercing, just look at her hand crooked, and a cup of hot tea was poured on the back of Mama Li's well-maintained hand.
"Ahh Mama Li made a sound in pain, but she controlled the volume of her voice and did not dare to make a noise.
Wen Qingyao's eyes were cold, locked on the back of Mama Li's hand, and she only saw that the white skin on it was burned red by the hot tea, "Mama is not strange, I was too careless." ”
Mama Li shook her head in pain, "It's the slave who is careless." ”
Wen Qingyao pursed her lips, "After all, it's my fault." As he spoke, he pointed at Yanyan, "Please sit down." ”
"Huh." Yanyan responded, helping Mama to the seat in the middle, Mama's face changed, and she knelt on the ground, "Miss, I can't help it." ”
Wen Qingyao looked at Mama Li with a smile, "Mama Li, we are the only ones in this sedan chair, don't be restrained, I accidentally burned you, you sit well, Yanyan can take medicine." ”
Mama Li had a sad face, looking at Wen Qingyao with an innocent expression, listening to her soft words, Mama Li only felt a chill behind her.
Yanyan helped her up, and Wen Qingyao got up, "Mama, please take a seat." ”
As she spoke, Wen Qingyao pressed the shoulder of Mama Li, who was standing still, and pressed down, and Mama Li's entire ass landed firmly on the silver needle, "Ah! ”
Mama Li's pain did not make Wen Qingyao let go of her hand, but lowered her head and asked Mama Li, "Does Mama have a sore hand?" ”
Mama Li didn't dare to speak, endured the severe pain of sitting down, nodded weakly, Wen Qingyao glared at Yanyan, "Yanyan, don't give Mama medicine yet." ”
Yanyan took the medicine and applied it carefully to Mama Li, and at the end, Wen Qingyao also used her handkerchief to bandage Mama carefully, "Mama is in pain." ”
