Chapter 16: The Banquet of the Hou Mansion (3)
Ye Mengmeng's eyes were very friendly, she handed over the wine glass, and said sincerely: "Third sister, you have worked hard, eldest sister toasts you." ”
Ye Jingjing was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to say this, with a gentle smile on her face, she took the wine glass and said, "Why did the eldest sister say this?" ”
Ye Mengmeng said: "The third sister not only has to worry about the things in the shop every day, but also cares about the fathers and sisters in the house. ”
Ye Jingjing smiled slightly: "What is this?" It's all a family, but it's not allowed to talk to two families. ”
Ye Mengmeng took the opportunity to sit down on the chair and said with a melancholy expression: "Alas, the third sister is so capable, but it really makes the eldest sister ashamed, if I have the third sister as capable, I can also share the worries of my father." It's a pity ......"
Ye Jingjing was still smiling, spinning the glass cup in her hand, staring at her, pondering the meaning of her words.
The eighth lady saw that the fierce eldest sister on weekdays had a kind face and a gentle tone, so she boldly said, "Eldest sister, you can also let the third sister teach you medical skills." ”
"Me? Studying medicine? Ye Mengmeng glanced at Miss Eight, shook her head and smiled: "That's not good, I'm stupid, where can I learn such complex medical skills?" Besides, in three months, your eldest sister and I are going to marry the crown prince and become the crown princess, do you still need to learn medical skills? The crown prince is a face-saving person, if the crown princess is a charlatan who walks the streets and alleys, the prince's face is afraid that he will be lost to Java. No, not only the crown prince, but also the emperor and the queen mother, and even the entire royal family, are afraid of losing their faces...... Therefore, I must not study medicine. I'm different from your third sister, she has no other way out except to learn to heal. Do you understand, Eighth Sister? ”
The entire flower hall instantly fell silent, and the air was so dull that it was almost suffocating.
Miss Eight never expected that her simple and casual words would make the atmosphere so heavy, and even the emperor and queen were involved...... She was even more afraid of offending the third sister because of this, her little face suddenly became sallow, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the third sister.
The third sister still has a soft smile on her face, but there is a faint fire in her eyes.
Ye Mengmeng felt unhappy in her heart, but nothing appeared on her face. Oh, if you want to have a more poisonous mouth, maybe she has the upper hand.
Ye Jingjing quickly returned to normal, and said with a slight smile: "The eldest sister is reasonable, it is true. Turning his head to Miss Eight, he said, "Eighth sister, girls don't necessarily have to learn medical skills, reading more books, reading more literacy and learning needlework is the main thing, and it will be very useful in the future, so that they will not be looked down upon." Do you understand? ”
"Well, third sister, sister understands." Miss Eight glanced at Ye Mengmeng timidly.
Ye Mengmeng shook her head and smiled: "Eighth sister, I see you, I don't understand at all, let the eldest sister tell you." What is the most important thing for a person? It's the birth, and the birth is innate and can't be changed...... Of course, the eldest sister has absolutely no intention of discriminating against you, what the eldest sister means: people, no matter how rich she is, even if there are mountains of gold and silver at home, there is no way to change her identity, even if she brings it into the loess, she can't change it. ”
The smile on Ye Jingjing's face froze, and a trace of coldness appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, what do you mean by that?"
"It doesn't mean anything." Ye Mengmeng said with a smile. "I just want to tell Eighth Sister that it's better to keep a low profile and find your own position. Third sister, do you think the eldest sister is right? ”
Ye Jingjing bit her lip tightly, and her hands almost wrenched the brocade in her hand.
Ye Mengmeng pretended not to see her little movements, stretched her waist, yawned, and then smiled at Ye Jingjing kindly.
"Alas, when my stomach is full, I will be sleepy, so I will go to lie down first. Third sister, the eldest sister will go back to the yard first, you won't mind, right? Why don't you sleep for a while before you go to the shop? ”
Ye Jingjing stared at her and didn't speak.
Ye Mengmeng pretended to be abrupt and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, the third sister is so busy, where can I have time to take a nap?" However, the third sister, no matter how busy the shop is, you must also pay attention to maintenance and ensure adequate sleep, otherwise your face is prone to wrinkles. Women are no better than men, women's youth is only a few years, once they are old, they can't get back any boxes of health pills. Third sister, eldest sister, this is a heartfelt word, do you remember it in your heart? ”
Ye Jingjing almost crushed her silver teeth, and said word by word: "Thank you eldest sister for your concern, the third sister has written it down." ”
"That's good, that's good. The eldest sister went back to the yard first, and you continued to play. Ye Mengmeng was secretly amused, got up and left.
The pea who was stunned next to him came to his senses and hurriedly kept up with the master's pace.
After walking a few steps, Ye Mengmeng turned around again and said, "By the way, third sister, I heard that the red beans and mung beans in my yard have two little hooves in your yard?" Please tell them that when you have had enough, you should go back to your nest. After speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Jingjing to answer, turned around and walked away slowly.
As soon as the concubines and girls in the flower hall saw that the eldest sister was gone, you look at me and I will look at you, and when they saw that the third sister had a bad face and didn't dare to stay, they all slipped out one by one. Although they didn't know the relationship between the third sister and the prince, although the eldest sister's words just now were not listened to, they were really the truth. None of them are stupid, so they naturally understand what the eldest sister means.
It seems that the eldest sister not only targeted the third sister, but also took the opportunity to beat them as concubines. In the future, the eldest sister really became the crown princess, so the future of these concubines and concubines must not be the eldest sister's decision?
Thinking about it like this, who would dare to tie up the third sister? His future was the most important, so no one comforted Ye Jingjing, and they all slipped out.
Miss Eight hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but leave.
Bai Zhi, the eldest girl behind Ye Jingjing, was angry and couldn't help but say, "Miss, they are too ...... It's all villains! ”
Ye Jingjing didn't seem to hear the words of the big girl, but just stared at Ye Mengmeng's back.
It's just strange that you've only been taken captive once, and then come back as if you're a completely different person.
Where did this slut have such a clever speech before? Could it be that he is really possessed by an evil spirit?
The words she said to Hou Ye and his wife yesterday were originally intended to fool Hou Ye and Wen, but now, she was really so suspicious.
She thought of Zhenbei Wang Yeli again. Someone obviously saw the slut being brought into the back door of the palace, then it would not be wrong. With Yeli's temperament, since she entered his palace, how could she be allowed to come out alive?
What went wrong?
