Chapter 172: Reward

If you can plead guilty by kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Zhang wants to kneel on the ground and ask for Su Xiaoya's forgiveness. But Qingrong, the girl, quietly supported Mrs. Zhang's knees in her skirt, so that Mrs. Zhang couldn't kneel, and it looked like Mrs. Zhang deliberately used kneeling to intimidate the princess in order to threaten Princess Jin.

Mrs. Zhang felt bitter in her heart, she knew that she should look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, maybe the yellow calendar really wrote that she should not talk too much today.

"Mrs. Zhang, don't think about whether you haven't read the yellow calendar when you go out today, there are some things that you can't do from the beginning, not just this day." Su Xiaoya saw through what Mrs. Zhang was thinking at a glance. These ladies are bored all day long and have nothing to do, and if they do something wrong, they will only blame themselves for forgetting to look at the yellow calendar, and they will never find the reason in themselves.

Mrs. Zhang's mouth was bitter, so she had to stand up straight and said: "It's the concubine's fault, the concubine shouldn't be so superstitious about ghosts and gods." ”

Su Xiaoya smiled, and when she was thinking about how to save a little face, the Duchess of Zhuguo walked over.

"Just now I was thinking about how I couldn't find the princess, but I didn't expect the princess to hide in this place and be lazy. At the beginning, I always remembered that the princess suffered a lot when she gave birth, and I was afraid of disturbing the princess, so I didn't come to visit the princess in person, but no matter what I said today, the princess had to let me see the little prince before leaving. Duchess Zhuguo took Su Xiaoya's hand and said affectionately.

If this Duchess of Zhuguo is calculated according to her seniority, she should call Su Xiaoya an aunt. At the beginning, the eldest sister of Emperor Yongping married to the Zhuguo Mansion, and the old Zhu Guogong at that time was the grandfather of the current Zhu Guogong.

Su Xiaoya knew the twists and turns, but she didn't want to call the Duchess of Zhuguo, who had already given birth to two children, as her nephew and daughter-in-law, so she had to say: "Madam said so, then I will let someone take Xiao Shizi out later." ”

Duchess Zhuguo smiled and didn't say anything about a certain topic, everyone heard the movement here just now, but she was afraid of the identity of Princess Su Xiaoya, so no one dared to come forward and say something. The Duchess of Zhuguo was afraid that Su Xiaoya would not be able to control the situation well when she was young and vigorous, so she simply volunteered to stand up and relieve Su Xiaoya.

"I just saw the princess and the ladies chatting hotly, I don't know what they are talking about? Are you willing to add a concubine? Duchess Zhuguo took Su Xiaoya's hand and said, obviously the two of them had never spoken before, but this Duchess Zhuguo has always been enthusiastic, so Su Xiaoya did not feel anything uncomfortable.

Su Xiaoya's heart warmed, and after a little thought, she knew the intention of the Duchess of Zhuguo, so she said: "Just now Mrs. Zhang said that the princess and the second lady of Yongping Houfu had some imagination, and they were about the same age, so they laughed. ”

Duchess Zhuguo's heart turned around, and she immediately understood. It is indeed a bit imaginative, but the situation of these two people is like a heaven and a earth, and it is simply incomparable. The Duchess of Zhuguo glanced at Mrs. Hubu Shilang, and she already thought in her heart, I am afraid that this Hubu Shilang Mrs. was disrespectful and recognized Su Xiaoya as the second lady of Yongping Houfu, and even laughed at it again, right?

This lady of the household has always relied on the reputation of her master, and she is not used to the ordinary ladies in the capital, and she can't wait to grow her eyes to the sky. Duchess Zhuguo sighed in her heart, thinking that today's Mrs. Hubu Shilang had completely offended King Jin's Mansion. Even if Princess Jin doesn't care about these, King Jin, who has always loved his wife, will definitely not let go of the household servant.

"There are so many ladies and ladies in this capital, and it is not uncommon for Mrs. Zhang to admit her mistakes. This is still to blame Niangniang, who never comes to the gathering of our ladies in the capital, and everyone doesn't know anyone! Duchess Zhuguo deliberately said with disgust.

Su Xiaoya said: "I didn't expect this to go around and around is the princess's fault?" That's it, it's better to call the second lady of Yongping Houfu over to show this princess, you must not be mistaken in the future, otherwise the lady will come to blame this princess again! ”

The ladies around didn't know what was going on, so they naturally laughed, but the ladies who had just laughed at Su Xiaoya with Mrs. Zhang were naturally frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that Su Xiaoya's anger would turn on her, and even her master's official position would be affected at that time. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but blame Mrs. Tobe.

The second lady of Yongping Houfu was still apprehensive when she was called to Su Xiaoya, she had been staying honestly on the side today, and she didn't dare to say a word to anyone, how could she be called over by the princess?

"Presumably this is the second lady of Yongping Houfu, Mrs. He, right?" Su Xiaoya looked at the thin shoulders that were trembling slightly, and there was a trace of pity in her heart.

Mrs. He hurriedly said: "It is the concubine body, and it is the sin of the concubine body that has not yet given the princess a salute." As he spoke, he directly gave Su Xiaoya a big gift.

Su Xiaoya didn't have time to let Qingrong stop this Mrs. He, so she had to say: "I didn't expect Mrs. He to be a sincere person. Qingrong, I remember that there is a set of ruby heads in the storeroom, don't forget to show it to Mrs. He later. ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the princess's love, but how can the concubine be able to receive such a favor from the princess?" Please also ask the princess not to give such a good thing to the concubine. ”

The people around were instantly jealous, and being able to get the reward of Princess Jin was not something that ordinary people could have. Even the Duchess of Zhuguo may not be able to get such a reward as Princess Jin, let alone the family of a small Jiupin official?

Mrs. Zhang was so hateful in the crowd that she almost broke the handkerchief in her hand, but she still followed the others and said: "Second Mrs. He is really a blessing, such a blessing is not something that ordinary people want to ask for!" ”

Mrs. He was so frightened that she was about to cry, when she went out today, Second Master He also told her not to cause any trouble in King Jin's Mansion, who knows if this should have been a banquet, she had such a thing, could it be that she had done something wrong just now?

"Take it, this princess has just been mentioned by Mrs. Zhang, and then I know that Second Mrs. He is the same age as this princess. Such a young person should wear a little more delicate. There are also a few pearl hairpins, you remember to find some earrings, necklaces or something to make a pair of heads, and send them to the second lady together. The last sentence was said by Su Xiaoya to Qingrong.

Everyone didn't expect Su Xiaoya to be so generous, with a gem head and a pearl head, she was even more willing than her own sisters! But the more Su Xiaoya was kind to Second Mrs. He, the more Mrs. Zhang felt that Su Xiaoya was slapping herself in the face in front of everyone.

"Look at how generous the princess is? Since it's the princess's kindness, why don't you thank the princess? "The wife of Zhu Guogong can't wait for Second Lady He to quickly accept these things, so that Su Xiaoya can also relieve the resentment in her heart, and naturally she will not pinch Mrs. Zhang anymore.

Su Xiaoya was not angry for herself at all as Duchess Zhuguo thought, but she saw that the second lady He was the same age as herself, but she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but because of her husband, she couldn't hold her head up in front of these ladies. If the person who was ridiculed by Mrs. Zhang just now was not herself, but the real Second Mrs. He, Su Xiaoya would have guessed what would happen.

Su Xiaoya listened to the words of the Duchess of Zhuguo, pulled the Duchess of Zhuguo and said: "I know that you like it in your heart, Qingrong, I will divide the pearl hairpin later, make two sets of head noodles and send one set to the Duchess of Zhuguo." ”

Duchess Zhuguo's eyes showed joy, she was not greedy for Su Xiaoya's face, but since Su Xiaoya was able to give herself something, it meant that Su Xiaoya was able to accept herself, and it seemed that she had not made a mistake this time.

Everyone was a little confused by the dramatic scene, but some of the ladies with fast brains already knew what was going on, after all, Su Xiaoya had just mentioned Mrs. Zhang, the head of the household, in her words.

"Alas, you said that everyone's luck is really different, and this Mrs. Zhang doesn't know what's going on, she actually offended the princess, isn't this asking for trouble?"

"Didn't you see Mrs. Zhang's face just now, I was about to faint, it's really ugly. Fortunately, I don't have much contact with Mrs. Zhang on weekdays, if I hadn't felt that this Mrs. Zhang likes to talk nonsense behind her back early on, which is not good, I am afraid that I will be hated by the princess with Mrs. Zhang today. ”

"I don't think the princess has a grudge against this Mrs. Zhang, but this Second Mrs. He is really a blessing, I'm afraid that after I go back today, the entire Yongping Houfu will hold the Second Lady in her hands."

Yongping Houfu has gradually declined, and being able to get the kindness of Princess Jin is undoubtedly a ray of light for Yongping Houfu.

Qingrong stood beside Su Xiaoya, looked at the eyes of those ladies and looked at Su Xiaoya intentionally or unintentionally, bowed her head and said softly: "Will the princess offend other ladies like this today?" After all, this ...... "didn't give Mrs. Zhang a good face in front of so many people, and even specially rewarded Mrs. He with so many things, Su Xiaoya is undoubtedly making enemies by doing this."

"What kind of bosom friend do you think this Mrs. Zhang will really have? I'm afraid those ladies are also at odds with her, right? "A lady who likes to talk behind her back, as long as the ladies who are with her still have some brains, they will know that this Mrs. Zhang's mouth will be a scourge sooner or later.

"But the household servant is also a fourth-grade official, isn't Niangniang afraid?" Qingrong was still a little worried about Su Xiaoya's situation.

"Don't forget, the Hubu squire followed King Qin at the beginning."
