After a few days, Wan Hui quietly presented a generous gift to Liu Ruyu, and Liu Ruyu smiled slightly: "Sister Ouyang is really courteous. Last time was just a little caution on my part, why did I come back to Eli Lilly? ”

Wan Hui replied respectfully: "Our lady said that Mrs. Liu is most concerned about her in the house, and it is not strange to say that there are many people, and I hope that Mrs. Liu will take more care of our room in the future." ”

Liu took a sip of tea and only smiled slightly. Wan Hui only felt that the tea was fragrant and crisp, not losing the imperial tea in the palace before, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Seeing that she was standing respectfully, her language was respectful, and she was in a measured manner, so she smiled and said: "They are all serving the Hou Ye, and when they say this, they will see the outside." ”

Wan Hui hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and said some good things again, so she retreated.

When he returned to the "Jingyun Pavilion" and saw Ouyang Zhen, he said the words as he was, and mentioned the tea again. Ouyang Zhen pondered for a long time before saying, "In this way, the Liu family's maiden family has amazing wealth. According to what you said, that tea is not the ordinary portion given by the house. That may be the 'Genting Dew' she sent to the house last time, Dexuan looked at it and said that in Chudi, this tea is also a sky-high price of one or two teas and one or two gold. She's a big deal. ”

Wan Hui nodded and said worriedly: "Mrs. Liu is sophisticated, her wealth is amazing, and she now has a son, and her status in the mansion is simply unshakable. But now that she's come to show us goodwill, I don't know what she's thinking. ”

Ouyang Zhen's long eyebrows are light, looking out through the window lattice carved with Junzi Orchid, the high courtyard walls are layered on top of each other, the pavilions are towering, and people say that "once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea" In fact, where is the courtyard deep, it is clear that the human heart is unfathomable.

"Auntie, relax your mind, she now means that she wants to unite us to deal with the Xu family, but who will know that she eats it all on both sides, anyway, let's be careful, we must be very respectful when we see her in the future, I think I should also go to the ladies in those courtyards in the house." Ouyang Zhen said lightly.

Ouyang Zhen was in good health, and he chose a day, called Mingying to follow, and visited the ladies one by one. Because she was a humble person, and the gifts she gave were just right, several ladies changed their views of her, and they walked back and forth much closer.

Xu Shi spoke coldly from time to time, and Ouyang Zhen was not annoyed, but only ignored it. Several ladies felt more and more that Ouyang Zhen was amiable, and their sarcasm towards the Xu family gradually became unacceptable.

Xu has no one to follow her, plus she is high-flying and domineering, and often offends people, and several ladies don't want to pay attention to her. Seeing that Xu's arrogance was suppressed, the Liu family was secretly happy in his heart, and only watched coldly.

The Xu family became more and more irritable, and Chu Huotian barely went back to the lady of the mansion to rest overnight, she was full of anger and couldn't vent, and often scolded people, several times, Ouyang Zhen heard Ming Ying mention which person she beat again.

Wan Hui frowned when she heard this: "It seems that the Xu family has a very bad temper, I don't know how the Hou Ye can stand her." Ouyang Zhen only had doubts in his heart when he heard this.

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

The weather in Chudi gradually warmed up in June, and Ouyang Zhen felt a little bit of a summer feeling. Chu Huotian still left early and returned late, and the ladies didn't need to say that they saw him, and their inner relatives lived in the inner courtyard, even if they heard little news of him.

Ouyang Zhen was sick, and Li Jing took some supplements in the past. Just this small act made the Xu family very angry, and secretly said a lot of ugly things.

Ouyang Zhen only couldn't hear it, and tried not to conflict with her.

But right and wrong do not happen because people are hiding.

One afternoon, Ouyang Zhen was lying on the side of the inner hall on the bamboo collapse to take a morning break, laying down the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei to block the heat outside the house, and the slight wind blowing through the hall was very cool. Much cooler than the inner room.

I was sleeping in a daze, when I suddenly heard a loud noise outside. Ouyang Zhen seemed to hear someone talking loudly, and someone seemed to be arguing violently.

Ouyang Zhen listened vaguely for a while, and then woke up, and seemed to hear people talking louder and louder, so he had to put on a Luo robe and go out to have a look.

As he was lifting the curtain, he saw the warbler's righteous and corrupt head coming over, and it seemed that he was still cursing something.

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Zhen asked. Ming Ying looked up and saw Ouyang Zhen, and immediately ran closer, and said angrily and anxiously: "Madam, those people are unreasonable, saying that they have lost something in the 'Yihua Garden', and they have to come in to check it." Aunt Wan Hui is talking to them. ”

Ouyang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Go and have a look with me." ”

The warbler was full of anger, but he could only endure it.

When I went out of the outer hall, I saw a group of three or four maids talking to Wan Hui in the courtyard.

One of the grandmothers spoke very loudly: "Why don't you let people go in and check, our wife said, this jade is very important, even if you dig three feet in the house, you have to find it." ……”

Wan Hui Xu was impatient with them, and said coldly: "This grandmother is where our yard is, if you want to come in and search, you can search, and you can check if you want." One day, Zhang San and Li Si said that she had lost something, and she wanted to come in and take a look, what is the reason? ! ”

The grandmother didn't show weakness and said, "What's the matter, is your land made of gold or silver, why can't people check it?" Not to mention that your wife entered the house at the latest, we have checked all the way through the first few yards, and you dare to pack the ticket Our wife's jade was not stolen by your subordinates? The more she spoke, the more unpleasant it became, and Wan Hui was so angry that her face turned pale, and she was about to ridicule her.

Ouyang Zhen listened to her more and more disagreeable, and couldn't help shouting, "Enough!" ”

The crowd was startled, and when they turned around, they saw Ouyang Zhen's sideburns slightly messy, wearing a crescent white dark patterned robe, standing in front of the door, looking at them with a thin and angry face.

Ouyang Zhen has been in a high position for a long time, and he has never seen any formation, and his body naturally exudes an awe-inspiring momentum. The few grandmothers and maids who were arguing with Wan Yu couldn't help but shut up and lowered their heads unnaturally.

Ouyang Zhen walked over with the help of Ming Ying, and said coldly: "What is it that makes a few grandmothers so embarrassed?" ”

The crowd heard her question, so they had to stand up and say, "Back to the seventh lady, it was Mrs. Xu who lost a jade pendant, so she ......"

Ouyang Zhen snorted coldly: "Is this how to find a way to lose something?" Your wife didn't teach you the rules, did she? Such a noisy and noisy noise, could it be that it was our 'Jingyun Pavilion' who stole your wife's things? ”

Seeing that she was really angry, the grandmother hurriedly knelt down and said: "Back to the seventh lady, the slaves and maids are also acting on orders, if you don't check, if you go back to Mrs. Xu, if you know, the slaves and maids will not be able to escape punishment." Madame also knows that my wife has very strict rules. ”

said with a bitter face, thinking that he remembered the power of the Xu family, and he was scared in his heart.

"Check? How to check? Could it be that our lady's bedroom also let you turn it over, there is no such reason in the world. The warbler couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly.

The grandmother was also embarrassed, so she had to whisper: "Back to the seventh lady, the slaves and maids in the first few yards have been searched, if the lady's yard is not found, the slaves and maids will not be able to reply......"

Ouyang Zhen's face was cold, he only stared at her coldly, and his cold eyes stared at her until he broke out in a cold sweat.

She was about to speak, when suddenly a few people came to the gate of the courtyard, and Ouyang Zhen looked up.

But he saw Liu Shi coming towards him with concern on his face: "Sister Ouyang, what's the matter?" I could hear people say it was noisy, so I came over and took a look. ”

Ouyang Zhen pointed at the grandmother on the ground with anger: "Sister Liu came just in time, this grandmother said that Mrs. Xu's things were lost, and she was about to come in and search for them." ”

Liu Shi walked over with the maid and was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "What?!" Sister Xu lost something? What is it that you want to search for like this? ”

The grandmother only said with a bitter face: "Mrs. Liu, the slaves and maids are also acting on orders, my wife said, the jade pendant is the dowry when the Hou Ye welcomed her a few years ago, it is very precious, Mrs. has been wearing it every day in the past few years, and Mrs. also said that without the jade is equivalent to losing her life." This ...... Now the lady is angry, and says that she will find out if she digs three feet into the Hou Mansion. ”

Liu Shi pondered for a long time when he heard this: "Since this jade pendant is so important, and it is worn by my side every day, how can I say that there is no more." I think Sister Xu went to which garden fell. This is also possible, how to find a way like this? This Sister Xu is also too much of a fuss. ”

The grandmother sighed and said: "Mrs. Liu doesn't know, she has found it, as long as it is the garden and pavilion that my wife has visited, I have found it, and there is not even a needle, so my wife is ruthless to ask each garden to check it." ”

Liu's face changed when he heard this: "What's the matter, do you want to check my yard too?" ”

The grandmother's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes, Madame ordered it like this." ”

Before Liu could speak, Ouyang Zhen helped her and said, "Sister Liu, don't be angry, why bother with them, let's go in and have some tea." As he spoke, he turned back to the grandmother and said, "Go back and tell your wife that you want to search for me'Jingyun Pavilion' She came over in person and said, I still see the owner of the dog, I don't care about your rudeness, go and ask your wife to come over and talk, and when the time comes, I will let Sister Xu search how she wants." ”
