Chapter 133: Caught off guard
At lunchtime, Hongxiao hurried back and said to Chu Yueli: "Miss, the slave has inquired clearly, the fourth miss has not sent anyone out to buy anything in the past two days, nor has she caught any medicinal materials. But there is one thing that is quite strange. When Aunt Zhao gave birth, according to the custom, she had to take those filthy things and burn them. However, Aunt Zhao was reluctant, saying that it was a brother, and she had to put those filthy things into the jar and bury them under the tree to accompany her. Aunt Zhao had a miscarriage and gave money to her mother-in-law and girls, and everyone turned a blind eye to this matter, and no one poked it out. As a result, last night, the mother-in-law in the house saw a figure flash under the tree. When the mother-in-law chased after her, she saw no one in sight, but she saw that the jar with the filth had been turned out. The mother-in-law was afraid of being haunted, so she reported the matter to her wife. Madame ordered that the filth be burned, and there was no follow-up. β
Chu Yueli picked up the box of rouge again, frowned, and said, "The things in here, I guess ...... It's disgusting. β
Duobao said angrily: "Master, let's fight now!" β
Hongxiao said: "I don't know what's mixed up here, even if I fight, it may not be possible." Looking at Chu Yueli, "Miss, what do you think?" β
Chu Yueli snapped the box and said with a smile: "Such a good thing, naturally you can't enjoy it exclusively." β
At this time, Duo Bao Niang came in with a tray, and after greeting Chu Yueli, she set up the lunch one by one.
A bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, a meat and a vegetarian dish, a plate of pastries, very simple, but also delicious.
Duobao Niang said: "Miss, the supplements are all gone." β
Chu Yueli said: "That's fine." If you make up for it, you'll be fat into a ball. β
Duobao and Duobao Niang laughed together.
Chu Yueli picked up the spoon, took a sip of soup, and asked, "You can also make pastries?" β
Duo Bao Niang replied: "Slave no. Just now, Cuiliu, the fourth lady's girl, came over and delivered the pastries to the kitchen, saying that the lady had rewarded the young ladies, and she happened to pass by and delivered them on her behalf. β
Chu Yueli said: "This little trick is endless, it's really overwhelming." β
Duo Bao Niang asked, "Miss is it ...... This pastry...... Not clean? β
Chu Yueli replied: "I don't know if the pastries are clean or not, people's hearts must be dirty." β
Duo Bao Niang said: "The slave also guarded against Cuiliu, afraid that she would make a mistake, so he kept staring at her and didn't let her get close to the stove." When she left, the slave saw her sneaking around to the backyard and went to talk to Ah Xiang's daughter-in-law. What was said, the slave didn't hear. β
Chu Yueli nodded and continued to eat.
After the meal, Chu Yueli went to the backyard for a turn, then returned to the house and tossed rouge again.
About half an hour later, Mrs. Chu sent Hua Ru to find Chu Yueli to go to the front hall, and Hongxiao passed the word on her behalf.
Chu Yueli tapped twice on Qibaozhai's box with her index finger and smiled.
Duobao brought water and asked Chu Yueli to wash up briefly.
Chu Yueli paused for a moment before putting her hand into the water, and then stretched out her hand casually and washed her face. There is a faint layer of grease in this water, which should be ...... Peanut oil.
After Chu Yueli cleaned up, put on the curtain fence, and went to the front hall accompanied by Hongxiao and Duobao.
Compared with Chu Yueli's simple dress, Hongxiao and Duobao are more like young ladies.
Duobao is simple-minded, and he is happy and happy. She said, "Master, many people are staring at the slave's collar. Sure enough, this collar is big and magnificent, and it looks so good. β
Hongxiao said, "Miss, do we need to change our clothes?" lest you attract envy? β
Chu Yueli said: "Jealousy is certain, and a knife in the back is also inevitable. However, you think that if you grovel, others will not step on you? β
Hongxiao thought for a moment and said, "What Miss said is very true. He straightened his back, pulled his hair, and looked proud.
Chu Yueli sneered and said, "Hongxiao, you definitely have the capital to be pampered and coquettish." β
Hongxiaoqiao's face was slightly red, and she said, "Miss knows how to make fun of slaves." β
Along the way, Hongxiao and Duobao have indeed earned enough envy, jealousy, greed, and hatred from everyone.
How exciting.
When they arrived at the front hall, Hongxiao and Duobao both consciously stayed outside the door.
Chu Yueli entered the front hall and saw that there were indeed people from the Gu Mansion in the hall. There were four people coming, one was the housekeeper Gu I saw last night, one was the little guy last night, and one was ...... More familiar!
This person is actually ...... Zhao Buyu!
Chu Yueli didn't know who Zhao Buyu was, but she clearly remembered that this person was the guard of the women's clothing boss, and this women's clothing boss was most likely her father-in-law. She remembers more clearly how she beat the women's clothing boss.
It would be nice if you could laugh at the grudge.
This matter must be faced, but not now. Chu Yueli curtsy to Mrs. Chu and Master Chu, who Mu Xiu was at home, deliberately lowered her voice a little, and said, "Say hello to my father and mother." β
Lord Chu said, "Get up." Steward Gu was ordered by the eldest princess to come to reward you. β
Chu Yueli looked at Steward Gu and said, "How dare you accept the eldest princess's repeated rewards." β
Manager Gu smiled: "Third Miss just follow up." Last night, the old slave went back to learn the third lady's style with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was happy in her heart, and rewarded some treasures to the third lady. "A slight pause," and also gave the third lady a nickname. Gee...... There are so many people in the house, and the only one who can get the name of the eldest princess herself is the third lady. β
Chu Yueli thought of the "Women's Virtue" given to her by the eldest princess, and consciously thought that it was okay not to have this nickname. However, because Zhao Buyu was also there, she must not behave too differently and arouse his suspicions, so she said honestly: "Princess Xie is rewarded." β
Manager Gu raised his chin and said, "The eldest princess is rewarded, a pair of jade heads, six cloth brocades, two cloud yarns, a pair of gold bracelets carved with cloisonnΓ© characters, and eighteen pearls from the South China Sea...... "Give a name...... Ugly Treasure. β
Chu Yueli said secretly: The eldest princess really played a good hand. Others give a slap first, and then give sweet dates. This is to feed you a mouthful of sugar, rot your mouthful of little white teeth, and then trample you into the mud!
Ugly treasure?
Scold......
For this name, Gu Hou married her, not a wife, but ...... Concubine!
Scrambled eggs!
Chu Yueli was quite calm, but Lord Chu was not calm, he stood up from the chair and said, "This ......" This name is really a bit insulting!
Steward Gu said: "The eldest princess likes the third lady, especially, the ugly wife of the third lady is the treasure of the family, and the eldest princess is the most favored. Lord Chu also knew that Gu Hou's body was a little unhappy, and it would be the best if he could get the third young lady to pretend to be ugly and pray for blessings. You say, huh? In the last four words, the voice was slightly raised, and there was a hint of threat and oppression.
Lord Chu was instantly stunned.
Chu Yueli wanted to look up to the sky again and roar, and asked, Lord Chu, which thigh did you hug? Why is it so unreliable?! At a critical time, what about your confidence?!
Don't say anything else. If Lord Chu was holding the leg of a cripple, he would not be so humble at this time.
Of course, the legs of a cripple are not something that anyone can hold. Well, how white and tender those thighs are......
