Chapter Seventy-Five: Another Plan
In the middle of July, the weather was still unusually hot.
In addition to her mother being deprived of the power of housekeeping, Chu Yuezi also had a knot in her heart, that is, on the day of her birthday, she offended the county lord of Xianluo, and this county lord was also one of her backers, she couldn't let the county lord misunderstand herself so much, so she invited a friend who was familiar with both of them to form a bureau to solve the misunderstanding with the county lord.
If you want the county lord to forgive herself, then you must rationalize what she did on her birthday, she thought about it and called Chu Yue over to her.
Chu Yuexi has been very low-key recently, and she often goes to Zhao's mother and daughter on weekdays to brush her sense of existence, and she knows that they are in a bad mood these days, and she doesn't dare to go to them anymore to ask for her own fun.
She was ignorant, seeing that the housekeeper power was handed over to Aunt Xiang, she was angry and confused in her heart, she looked down on Aunt Xiang's businessman's background, thinking that she was inferior to herself, and she should not be in charge of the Hou Mansion, on the other hand, the power was really in the hands of Aunt Xiang, and she didn't know whether she should go to Aunt Xiang to curry favor and exchange some benefits.
"Third sister, you're looking for me." Chu Yueyun was drumming in her heart, when this sister took the initiative to find herself, there must be nothing good about it.
"Done." Chu Yuezi enthusiastically took Chu Yuexi's hand and asked her to sit down, "This is bird's nest, it has just been stewed, and I specially let you come over to taste it." ”
Chu Yuexi was simply flattered, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Why is the third sister in such a good mood today, is something good happening?" ”
"Ming'er, I have a party, there are Xianluo County Lord and some noble ladies, I plan to take you with me." Chu Yuezi smiled slightly.
Chu Yuexi likes to participate in face-showing parties the most, but she is a concubine, and she can't participate in some banquets by her own identity, if the third sister is willing to take herself, it would be the best. She also hopes that she can become friends with more noble daughters and come and go in their social circles, so that her reputation is also very good, and she will not worry about not marrying a good family in the future.
"Thank you, third sister, third sister is so good to me." Chu Yue said happily.
"By the way, I've made new clothes and jewelry, and I'll give them to you, so I'll be dressed up decently tomorrow." Chu Yuezi said and asked Xiao Lian to take out a pair of heads.
Chu Yuexi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "How embarrassing is this, third sister, you ...... You're too good to me. ”
"Who called you my sister?" Chu Yuezi said, a touch of coldness appeared in her eyes, "However, the third sister needs your favor." ”
"Third sister, you say, what's the hurry!"
"The third sister needs you to have some scars on your body......" Chu Yuezi held Chu Yuexi's hand tightly, and her smile was a little colder, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, two mothers-in-law came up and pressed Chu Yuexi to the ground.
Chu Yue panicked and hurriedly asked, "Third sister, what are you going to do?" ”
"Just bear with me." Chu Yuezi said lightly, then waved her hand, and the two mothers-in-law began to beat Chu Yuexi, they also have skills in beating people, they don't hit their faces, but the bruises on their bodies look like there are new and old.
"Third sister, spare me!" Chu Yue cried and begged for mercy, "You spare me!" ”
"You bear with me, after the deed is done, I will not treat you badly!" Chu Yuezi turned around and stroked the creases that didn't exist in her sleeves.
Following.
Chu Yuezi took the glamorous Chu Yuexi to the party.
This time the party was in a private villa, the carriage slowly stopped, and before getting off the car, Chu Yuezi glanced at Chu Yuexi warningly, and said coldly: "Behave well later, if it is done, where do I still have a few good fabrics, reward you to make a few beautiful clothes, if things don't work out, see how I clean you up after I go back." ”
Chu Yue swallowed her saliva and smiled flatteringly: "Third sister, I know, I won't let you down." ”
After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Lian handed over the invitation, and the maid stepped forward to ask An to lead the way, and the group came to a chic and elegant back garden.
Chu Yuezi stepped forward with a smile and talked to the sisters who were familiar with her, and naturally integrated into their topic, although Chu Yuezi also knew these people, but by Chu Yuezi's side, she was like a maid, these people never put her in their eyes at all, and they couldn't interject, so they couldn't help but be disappointed.
After a while, they saw the county lord of Xianluo and the two young ladies coming out of a verandah and walking in their direction, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to greet the county lord.
The county lord of Xianluo responded one by one with a smile, and when his eyes fell on Chu Yuezi's body, the smile on his face disappeared: "Why is she here too?" ”
Chu Yuezi immediately said, "County Lord, are you still angry with me?" ”
"Who are you, and why am I angry with you?" The county lord of Xianluo rolled his eyes, pretended not to know, and went directly to the side, Chu Yuezi's smile froze on his face, and he was embarrassed.
"Don't mind, you also know the temperament of the county lord." Miss Huang, who organized the bureau, shook her fan and persuaded, "She has a bad temper, you can just talk softly to her again, after so many years of sisters, they will never say that they will turn their faces." ”
"I understand."
As the sun grew, everyone moved to the pavilion to talk, some stroked the piano, some wrote poems, and some painted, which was also pleasant.
The maids brought up the chilled lotus seed soup to relieve the heat, and at this time, Chu Yuezi suddenly pushed Chu Yuexi beside her, Chu Yuexi walked unsteadily, and suddenly hit the maid's body, and the bowl of lotus seed soup also splashed on her dress.
Chu Yue was still distressed about this new dress, but this maid belonged to someone else's family, so she couldn't beat and scold, so she had to sulk secretly.
At this time, Chu Yuezi hurriedly walked to Chu Yuexi's side and asked with concern, "Fifth sister, are you okay?" As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it for her, vividly interpreting the deep sisterhood.
And she also inadvertently lifted Chu Yuexi's sleeves, and the old and new scars on Chu Yuexi's arms were naturally exposed.
Someone had sharp eyes, hurriedly covered his mouth and asked in surprise: "Why are there all injuries on this arm, what's wrong?" ”
Chu Yuezi hurriedly covered up the scars for Chu Yue, and said with a dodgy look: "It's nothing." ”
Chu Yue also lowered her eyes and explained: "I accidentally fell. ”
"It didn't look like it was falling, it looked like someone else hit it." Another person said, and couldn't help but wonder if the scars on this body were caused by Chu Yuezi, otherwise why did she cover it up like this?
Miss Huang shook her fan and said, "If Miss Fifth has any grievances, tell us about it, and we will call the shots for you." ”
When Chu Yue heard this, she began to wipe her tears and sobbed softly.
Chu Yuezi sighed leisurely: "Fifth sister, there are no outsiders here, so you can tell the truth." ”
