Chapter 158: Snowflake

If you had a wish since you were a child, and you waited for thirteen years for it, and then one day, that wish suddenly came true, would you be ecstatic?

Thirteen years ago, the eldest lady of the Meng family died of a blood collapse during childbirth, and in the following three months, the mother-in-law and maid who delivered the baby in the inner room died violently one after another.

The wandering Taoist priest got a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity and said that the eldest lady of the Meng family was destined to bring Yin and Evil to her father and mother, and she should be sent away as soon as possible to avoid further disasters.

The head of the Meng family was frightened when he heard this, and sent people to the village on the outskirts of Beijing on the day of Meng Jiao's 100th day, and he had never met for thirteen years.

Thirteen years later, the head of the Meng family suddenly sent someone to the village to welcome Meng Jiao back with a hospitality gift.

According to common sense, Meng Jiao should be ecstatic to return home after thirteen years.

But now, it was not Meng Jiao who was ecstatic, but the head of the Meng family who was afraid of Meng Jiao's fate.

This change was so rapid, of course, not because the head of the Meng family suddenly remembered this daughter.

It is because, this year's autumn harvest, the emperor returned from his southern tour, was assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing, and after the fierce battle, there were only nine people left in the Praetorian Guard, escorting the emperor to flee to the bottom of the Purple Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, and was rescued by a woman.

The emperor did not die, and after returning to the palace, he gave a handwritten edict to seal this woman as the escort lady, and the knight was the same as the three products.

This woman is Meng Jiao.

"Miss, this is the yard that the lord has prepared for you, and the furnishings and arrangements in it are all arranged by the lord himself, and the name of the yard has not yet been decided, the lord said, the yard of the eldest lady, naturally the eldest lady has set the name herself."

"Eldest Miss, the furnishings in this room are all treasures personally selected by the second lady, especially this phoenix dance golden wing, which was a treasure given by the emperor when the first emperor was there, and it has been passed down in our house for two generations."

Seven or eight maids led Meng Jiao to the new courtyard built for her, and introduced the furnishings in the yard and the treasures in the house.

They thought that although Meng Jiao had now become a Zhengsanpin fate, but after all, she had been living in Xiaozhuangzi for thirteen years, and these treasures should have never been seen, but they didn't expect that Meng Jiao's expression was from beginning to end.

Nothing has changed.

Even when she saw the golden wings of the heirloom treasure phoenix dance, Meng Jiao's expression was faint, and she was not surprised at all.

They only thought that the eldest lady was covering it up, but they didn't know that Meng Jiao, who was standing in front of them now, was not an ignorant little girl.

When she went to the palace a few days ago, she was led by the people in the palace to see all kinds of curiosities, and these things of the Meng family would not amaze her.

Meng Jiao looked at the entire courtyard, Shi Shiran walked into the main hall and sat down, and the maids stood in the hall with their hands down.

"Are you the maids that my father pointed out to me?"

"Miss Hui, we are the second lady who came to serve you, the second lady said, you are not only the eldest lady in our house now, but also the emperor's own wife, the maids around you must be missing, otherwise it will be considered a snub to you."

Meng Jiao frowned slightly when she heard this, because she was said to be a fate since she was a child, so she didn't have a good time in Zhuangzi.

There will always be people who want to get rid of her, so Meng Jiao never dares to fake others.

She understood early on that it was indispensable to guard against others, and now that she had just returned home, this second lady was so attentive, I am afraid that it was not only because of her identity as a lady, but also because of her side purpose.

"When I entered the palace a few days ago, His Majesty has assigned someone to serve, and I should be able to enter the palace in a few days, and I am a clean person, if you are all here to serve me, it will make me feel uncomfortable, go back to Erniang, just say thank you for bothering her, but you don't have to send someone to me."

Meng Jiao spoke, and these maids naturally didn't dare not listen, looked at each other, and then withdrew from the courtyard.

hurriedly went to the courtyard where the second lady was located to reply, saying that Meng Jiao didn't like many people to serve, and emphasized that the palace had already assigned someone to come over, so there was no need for the second lady to bother.

"Since it was the eldest lady who said it, don't go over to serve for the time being, go and tell Mama Li that four of them will stay with me, and the rest will go over and wait for the second lady."

The second lady Liu listened to the reply, thought for a while, and arranged the place where these maids went.

When the people dispersed, Liu was no longer as generous and decent as before, and the fingers of her left hand unconsciously hovered over the edge of the tea cup, her face gloomy.

The maid waiting in the room didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of annoying her.

After a while, Liu's henchman Mama Li came in, and Liu's face was a little pale, and he raised his hand and waved away the maid who was waiting in the house, and there were only two masters and servants left in the entire inner room.

"This Meng Jiao is really different from what I thought, I thought that an orphan girl who was abandoned and raised outside since she was a child, even if she flew on the branch and became a fate, she should be very easy to handle, but I didn't expect that she would have such a strong sense of defense."

"Madame is relieved, maybe you think too much, this eldest lady has been abandoned outside since she was a child, and the people in the Zhuangzi also listen to Madame's orders, and don't treat her very well, maybe she has lived in this environment for many years, and has developed a withdrawn temperament, and she simply doesn't like many people to dangle in front of her."

Mama Li made sense, but Liu Qingqing was not convinced.

When the maids replied just now, they were emphasizing that Meng Jiao was very indifferent to others, which was not like what an abandoned orphan girl should look like if she was once prosperous.

This Meng Jiao must not be a simple character.

"That's it, Mama Li, she is in the limelight now, I can't force people to her, you go find a few reliable mothers-in-law, arrange for them to enter the small kitchen in that yard, pay close attention to Meng Jiao's every move, if there is anything abnormal, let them report at any time."

"Madam, it's just a little girl who accidentally got the emperor's blue eyes, the slave maid thinks that you really don't need to be so nervous, the Meng family is now under your control, and you're afraid that she can turn over any flowers?"

"Conduct yourself in the world, or be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, she is an orphan girl, at the age of only thirteen or fourteen, she has been a lady of the three grades, which shows that her ability is not small, if I don't control her, then slowly, the Meng family may become her bag, once she takes power, someone will inevitably tell her that her mother... By that time, it will be too late. ”

Speaking of Meng Jiao's mother, Liu Qingqing was suddenly silent, and the master and servant silently glanced at each other, and they both knew what they were referring to.

Rather than letting Meng Jiao continue to develop to the point where she can't be controlled in the future, it is better to take advantage of her fledgling now and firmly imprison her in her own hands.

In this way, you can sit back and relax, and you are not afraid of what storms she will set off.

"Or Mrs. has a vision, so, I'm not afraid of her turning over the sky!"

"Well, hurry up and choose the right person and arrange it as soon as possible... By the way, didn't the master say that there was going to be a big banquet in the house today to catch her wind and wash the dust? Tell me to go down, take my phoenix feather clothes, and see Mrs. Decree for the first time, we must not be rude!" ”

The feathers are big, and the pomp is extraordinary.
