Chapter 211: The Eight Lady Who Didn't Exist
Mrs. Zhen glared at her, and immediately scolded angrily: "Master Hou's idea also dares to fight, you are really bold!" People are a talent, you take a kiln sister to kiss others, it's really fatal! ”
"What if it's as Miss Mako?"
Aunt Lu is a good hand at pleasing people, she took out the small fan pinned to her waist, and flatteringly fanned the wind beside Mrs. Zhen: "Good sister, you just go and invite Miss Seven back, even if you don't care about the benefits in the future, just look at the friendship between Hou Ye and her, that is also worth it!" Those of us who are elders are like this in this life, but there is also the eldest young master - he is not an official in the court, it is all a talent! ”
"Flim Flam."
Mrs. Zhen seemed to blame, but in fact, Aunt Lu said to her heart, she was a half-cut person, even if she offended Qiu Ming at this time, she didn't think it was a big deal.
But her beloved son can't be so mediocre in this life! Even if he can't live out his father's ability, he should find a petty official with five or six grades to do.
She let Aunt Lu get close to her and asked, "What, what do you do?" ”
Aunt Lu obediently leaned over and whispered her plan.
……
Outside the gate of the True Mansion, Xiang Yeqi suppressed the dissatisfaction with Mrs. Zhen in his heart, and comforted Qin Yi: "Miss Qin Yi, don't take what Mrs. Zhen said just now, don't take it too seriously. There are still a lot of ways! ”
Qin Yi shook his head lonely: "Forget it, Qin Yi's life is like this, what can be done?" The eldest lady has been in charge of the affairs of the house all these years, and it is not easy to think about it, and I should have caused her a lot of trouble when I went back at this time. ”
"Miss Qinyi, you look down on yourself."
Qiu Ming smiled proudly, and he couldn't tell that he had just touched the wall in the real mansion.
"The real mansion is declining day by day, just a few businesses, a little mistake, you will lose your family, guess the eldest lady of the real family, how long did you dare not close your eyes at night? Picking you back this time is the last chance for the real house to cheer up. ”
Qin Yi obviously didn't believe him in this, what a resolute attitude Mrs. Fang Caizhen was, she didn't see it.
"But I see the attitude of the real lady, even if she set fire to the entire mansion, she doesn't want to take the Qin girl back."
Xiang Yeqi didn't want to think back to Madame Zhen's fierce face at all, and she was very sure that as long as she closed her eyes tonight, she would be able to see Madame Zhen's big mouth that could swallow her alive.
It's terrifying.
Xiang Yeqi said, "What is your purpose today?" It can't be just to send it to the door to scold the real lady, right? Hurry up and be honest and thorough, and I'll feel at ease. ”
"He didn't point to Madame Real from the beginning."
Bo Zhaoxu covered his lips and coughed twice, and Xiang Yeqi on the side patted him on the back nervously.
Adaptation is a big deal.
"This king is fine." Bo Zhaoxu continued, "If that true lady figured it out at one time, it would naturally be a good thing, but if she couldn't figure it out, sooner or later there would be a time to figure it out, at most three days." Yeqi, you should know how persistent Old Madam Xiang is about reviving Xiangfu. ”
As soon as the name was changed, Xiang Yeqi seemed to suddenly understand.
Although Mrs. Xiang is older than Mrs. Zhen, but the two of them are in an embarrassing situation, if the husband died before herself, if this big family goes into decline, even if it has nothing to do with them, or even because of her husband's misdeeds, the family will be ruined, and the notoriety that caused the decline of the family will still fall on them, which is extremely unjust.
Therefore, the old lady and the real lady are unwilling, let alone dare to let the whole family collapse on themselves, even if they scatter all the family wealth to maintain false prosperity and let this family fall into the hands of the next generation, they are not willing to bear such an irrelevant infamy.
Old Madam Xiang was also indifferent to Xiang Yeqi's life and death, and didn't even care if Xiang Yeqi would starve to death in the boudoir due to mistreatment, but once she found out that Xiang Yeqi could become her help to support Xiang Fu, and noticed that Xiang Yeqi could pull the dying Xiang Fu, Xiang Old Lady seemed to be a different person, and she couldn't wait to boast that Xiang Yeqi was her granddaughter when she met someone.
Especially now, I am afraid that the old lady Xiang is still immersed in the dream that Xiangfu will become the queen's mother's house, and receives those courtiers and guests who come to please her every day.
It can be said that Mrs. Xiang has bet all her chips on Xiang Yeqi's hands.
Madame Zhen just lacks a chance to discover how important Konichi is to the True Mansion, and when the time comes, Madame Shin will also treat Kotoichi as her own daughter.
Xiang Yeyan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Miss Qinyi just wants to get back the title of Miss Zhenfu and marry, otherwise it would be really ...... It's a headache. ”
She couldn't help but sigh at how open-minded Bo Zhaoxu was, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, she would probably be like Qin Yi, who returned to the real mansion but did not marry, and was sucked dry of the last drop of blood by the real mansion who was eager to regain its former glory.
Thinking about this, she didn't feel strange to see Qiu Ming so confident.
Qiu Ming slapped the table: "Three days at most." ”
"What?"
Xiang Yeqi felt a little inexplicable, and Qiu Ming's reaction was somewhat sudden.
Qiu Ming hooked the corners of her lips with great confidence, and said, "At most, it will only be three days, and they must have come to ask for this wait in person to send Miss Qinyi back to the real mansion." ”
……
Even though Xiang Yeqi sometimes felt that Qiu Ming was very arrogant, when Mrs. Zhen bowed her head to pick up someone, it really made Qiu Ming guess correctly - it was just the second day.
Xiang Yeqi estimated the reason, probably because the first day was too frivolous, not enough to set off how painful the struggle they went through, so they made such a "noble" move. But if they chose the third day, it seemed that they were not sincere enough, and they reluctantly took people back just to please Qiu Ming.
So I simply folded it and chose it on the second day.
As the widow of the Zhen family who has not stepped out of the door for several years, Mrs. Zhen went out today, and there were indeed a lot of rumors in the capital of Western Xia. As soon as she got out of the carriage, she pulled her sleeves to cover half of her face, and hid in the airtight mansion for too long, and she began to be afraid of even the eyes of irrelevant people.
Xiang Yeyan was having lunch with Bo Zhaoxu, knowing why Mrs. Zhen came, but she pretended to be stupid and asked: "Madame thinks that the refusal of the previous two days is not formal enough, so she came to make up for a slightly more formal refusal ceremony?" ”
"The fourth princess, don't make fun of the people's women, if it weren't for the people's women's ignorance, how could they offend you - this past matter, please turn the page!"
Mrs. Zhen's knees were bent to beg for mercy with the night and she was ready to kneel down to the night at any time.
The curvature of her knees entered Xiang Yeqi's eyes, and she was so frightened that Xiang Yeqi sighed in her heart - what is wrong with each of them, kneel when you see people, and kneel when you see something!
"True Madam, I don't have the idea of bothering with you, I can't do it, I really can't do it!"
Xiang Yeqi patted his chest choked by pastries, moistened his throat with flower tea, and without waiting for Bo Zhaoxu to react, he turned Bo Zhaoxu's chair around and faced Mrs. Zhen.
The so-called "dead friends don't die and poor people", if you want to kneel, you can kneel to Bo Zhaoxu, she can't afford it!
Mrs. Zhen smiled shyly, which made Xiang Yeqian feel awkward than pointing at Xiang Yeqi to blame: "A character like you just want to deal with the people's women, and the people's women have nothing to say, if you do something wrong, how dare the people's women deny it......"
As she spoke, she poked her head towards the second floor of the inn, and after a while, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you see Miss Eight?" ”
Miss Eight?
Xiang Yeqi frowned, what kind of play is Mrs. Zhen singing, although she never plays according to the routine, nor does she play according to the script, but what Mrs. Zhen said doesn't seem to match the script she got? Whether it is what Mrs. Zhen said the day before yesterday, or what Qin Yi said, she is seven at home.
Bo Zhaoxu was arranged according to Qiu Ming's layout, and said indifferently: "Master Hou said that Miss Qinyi suffered a lot in the early years, and she should cut a few clothes at this time, and she should make up for those that should be made up." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhen's eyes lit up, and she said in her heart that what Aunt Nalu said was true - Qiu Ming's is indeed very attentive to Qin Yi, and it is worth betting on the future of Zhenfu!
Mrs. Zhen suddenly smiled: "Then when will Master Hou and Miss Eight come back?" I also thought about taking Miss Eight home earlier, and recognizing my ancestor earlier. ”
But she didn't know that cutting clothes was real, all of this was an idea proposed to Yeqi, and even the money for tailoring clothes was all saved by Qin Yi in Haiyue Building in the past.
Qiu Ming is not short of these silver taels, but Qin Yi has not yet risen to the level of "necessary" in his heart.
"Recognize your ancestors? What ancestors do you recognize? Xiang Yeqi asked knowingly, "Isn't Mrs. Zhen afraid that after taking back Miss Qinyi, the ancestor of the Zhen family will know and refuse to forgive you?" ”
"It's a joke, let Miss Eight go out of exile, and she will be blamed by the ancestors!"
Mrs. Zhen smiled awkwardly, and finally fulfilled her mistake, but Qiu Ming's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Eighth Miss? When did Zhenfu have eight young ladies? ”
Today is the arrival of the king of heaven, and there are only seven young ladies in the real mansion.
Mrs. Zhen was frightened, turned around, and took a few steps back earnestly: "When Miss Eight was six years old, she went to the Lantern Market with the slave maid of the family, but she was killed by God, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then, and no one has ever seen Miss Eight again......"
She raised her hand to wipe her tears in a wry manner, and the embroidered handkerchief circled around her eyes seven or eight times, but not a single tear was touched, and her acting skills were embarrassing.
Mrs. Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "Fortunately, Miss Eight has a good life, and she can be sent back to the house with the help of the Hou Ye, otherwise the women don't know how long they will regret it, and they are afraid that they will leave with regrets!" Luckily, fortunately. The day before yesterday, the woman was confused for a while, and she couldn't believe that Miss Eight was really found by Hou Ye, so she offended Hou Ye, and she deserved death! ”
Qiu Ming sneered coldly, what she said was quite like the same thing, if it weren't for Qin Yi's free time playing the piano and composing lyrics based on his past experience, he would really believe it.
