Chapter 132: Mention of human favors
After Chu Lianying left, Chu Man'er and the others also said goodbye, and the excitement was like a firework, which disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only some smells that could not be dispersed.
Hongxiao looked at the makeup that was left behind, and wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Miss's wedding is imminent, and what is missing is money." Sighing lightly, "The silver given by Miss Fifth is the most intimate and valuable." After a slight pause, he looked at Chu Yueli, "Miss can know that the rouge of Qibao Zhai also costs five taels of silver, but it may not be able to buy it." ”
Chu Yueli opened Qi Bao Zhai's box and said, "Chu Xianglin's friendship with me is not worth the rouge of five taels of silver." ”
Duobao asked, "What's that worth?" ”
Chu Yueli smiled: "Arsenic." I opened the box, leaned in front of my nose and sniffed it.
Hongxiao immediately said nervously: "Be careful! ”
Chu Yueli looked at Hongxiao.
Hongxiao blushed and said: "I have heard some other people's mothers-in-law talk about it, and some harmful tricks are on these little things." ”
Chu Yueli praised: "Yes, the alertness is very high. ”
Hongxiao said a little mischievously: "Miss Xie praises." ”
Chu Yueli put down the rouge and said, "There is nothing wrong with smelling it." Come to think of it, she's not stupid enough to send me something in question. Even if she wanted to, it wouldn't be so direct...... His gaze paused slightly on the powder and stopped.
Hongxiao and Duobao immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Yueli took the rouge box to the sun and looked at it, and found that there were some red rouge scattered around the box, although it was not obvious, it was real. Then I rubbed the red rouge powder with my hands, and found that it was a little loose and not tight.
Chu Yueli said: "This rouge has been turned by others. ”
Red Night and Duobao glanced at each other.
Duobao said: "The fourth lady is too ...... Too ruthless, right? ”
Hongxiao asked, "Does Miss know what's in here?" ”
Chu Yueli replied: "I don't know." However, if Chu Xianglin doesn't do it here, I won't feel at ease. It's better to be attacked by a snake than to be stared at by a snake. ”
Chu Yueli put away the rouge and put it back in the wooden box.
Duobao rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "Master, do you want to fight back?!" ”
Chu Yueli said: "Don't be impatient. I think it is better to know what has been done here, and then it can be considered reasonable and justified, otherwise it will be chasing the wind and making a big fuss. After that, whispered a few words to the red night.
Hongxiao nodded in response, and moved out of the Wisteria Pavilion step by step.
Duobao opened his eyes wide and looked directly at Chu Yueli.
Chu Yueli asked, "Something?" ”
Duobao nodded, shook his head again, and nodded again.
Chu Yueli raised her eyebrows.
Duobao immediately stepped up, flashed his big eyes, and said: "Mother said to the slave that the deed of sale of the slave and the mother are all here with the young lady, and the slave and the mother are both the dowry of the young lady...... Hehe......" After saying that, he grinned.
Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Why didn't you say this in front of Hongxiao?" ”
Duobao immediately lowered his head and said, "Mother said, Hongxiao is not the dowry of the young lady, if the slave says it, she will be jealous and cry very sadly." ”
Chu Yueli touched Duobao's head and said, "As long as she wants, she will also become my dowry." ”
Duobao instantly raised his head and stared at Chu Yueli.
Chu Yueli continued: "However, the place where I want to marry seems to be rich and noble, but it is actually dangerous and abnormal. Duobao, are you afraid? ”
Duobao replied loudly: "Where the master is, the slave is there." The master is not afraid, and the slave is not afraid. ”
Chu Yueli asked, "What if I'm afraid?" ”
Duobao frowned in embarrassment, thought about it again and again, and finally raised his head and said, "The slave will protect the master!" Let the master not be afraid! ”
Chu Yueli pinched Duobao's face and said, "The master doesn't need your protection. You just have to remember to protect yourself at all times. If someone persecuts you with their lives, just be a false traitor. ”
Duobao muttered, "Fake traitor? The slave has to think about how to be a false traitor. ”
Chu Yueli shook her head and smiled, opened "Women's Virtue", and while flipping through it, she dipped her hands in water and measured them on the table.
Duobao asked, "Master, is this book good?" ”
Chu Yueli replied casually: "It's good-looking." "Actually, it's the words that are beautiful. She felt that her handwriting was a little ugly and needed to be practiced, however, her heart was not quiet, and she wanted to go out for a walk, but she also knew that she could not go too far, so she could only endure it and continue to practice calligraphy in the house.
After about a cup of tea, Aunt Xu walked into the Wisteria Pavilion with a smile, brought a red box in her own hand, and said to Chu Yueli: "The concubine came to add makeup to the third miss, and I wish the third miss a hundred years of good luck and an early birth of a noble son." ”
Chu Yueli didn't know much about the marriage rules of Yanguo, so she could only accept it happily and greeted her with a smile: "There is Aunt Lao." He reached out and took the box, opened it, revealing a pair of particularly beautiful embroidered shoes. The white bottom, embroidered with a pale pink lotus, the stamen is dotted with small pearls, the workmanship is meticulous, the embroidery is exquisite, the bright pigment is elegant and chic, which makes people happy at a glance.
Aunt Xu said: "This is made by the concubine herself, I wish Miss a smooth future." ”
Chu Yueli smiled: "My heart is happy. ”
Aunt Xu said: "I know that the young lady is married, but I also know that there are many rules in the Hou Mansion, and there are naturally many places to use silver." I took twenty taels of silver and asked the third prince to make some silverfish and send them to the young lady to take care of the next person. When the silverfish is ready, the third son will give it to the third lady. ”
Chu Yueli's smile deepened, and said, "Auntie has a heart." ”
Aunt Xu smiled softly and said, "For rich and noble families, twenty taels is really nothing, and the third lady doesn't dislike it." ”
Chu Yueli said: "Auntie doesn't know, I, a wild girl from the countryside, can get twenty taels, which is already a lot of wealth." ”
Aunt Xu went to pull Chu Yueli's left hand under her sleeve and said, "The wealth of the third lady is unmatched by no one in the house." After a slight pause, he lifted Chu Yueli's sleeves, gasped, and asked, "Miss's hand?!" ”
Chu Yueli withdrew her hand and replied, "A small injury, it will be fine in two days." ”
Aunt Xu frowned and said, "How can you be so careless?" Even if it's a small injury, you need to take some gold medicine. Where is the medicine? The concubine put some on the young lady. ”
Chu Yueli replied: "Jinchuang medicine doesn't work. Really, in a few days. ”
Aunt Xu sighed lightly and said, "Be careful yourself." By the way, the people from the Hou Mansion handed over the post, and they will come again in the afternoon. I didn't say anything specifically, but the young lady had to prepare carefully. ”
Chu Yueli squinted and smiled, "Thank you, auntie." This should have been said to her by Mrs. Chu, but from Aunt Xu's mouth, she had to receive this favor.
Aunt Xu smiled softly and said, "Third Miss doesn't need to be polite. The concubine is unlucky, if the sixth miss also has a rich life like the third lady, the concubine will not have to worry about it. ”
Chu Yueli only smiled silently, but her heart was like a mirror. Aunt Xu treats her well, she is begging for Chu Man'er.
