Chapter Seventy-Nine: Language Learning
"Oh, what a rarity, I thought the princess wouldn't come."
The last time she turned her face so thoroughly, Mrs. Li could still pretend to be so realistic, which really made Jiang Liuyu admire. However, when it comes to acting and being with others, it is a special ability that every woman is born with.
Jiang Liuyu tilted her head and laughed smartly, "Today is Mrs. Li's birthday, and she specially asked someone to run to the palace, so she had to guard me out, why didn't I come?" ”
"A few days ago, I accidentally felt cold, and today I felt better, I wanted to go out and buy medicine and come back, but Mrs. Li insisted on letting me come over, and I had to obey."
The smile on Mrs. Li's face froze for a moment, and she found that Jiang Liuyu was indeed not easier to deal with than before, but the sudden awakening, compared with Mrs. Li's many years of experience in the back house, there was no room for comparison.
"It's like this, it's not the right time to hate my birthday, how did I happen to catch up with the princess who is unwell. Princess, you are too kind, although I especially look forward to the princess coming, I am not willing to let the princess suffer such for me. ”
In just a few words, she was relieved of her original mistakes, and Li Niangzi's tongue was really more clever than ordinary people.
"The princess's typhoid fever is better, but she can't stand in the wind for a long time, so let's hurry into the house with me."
As she spoke, Mrs. Li took Jiang Liuyu's hand and walked inside. Xiaoyun watched coldly from the side, and couldn't get used to Li Niangzi's behavior, just now it was obviously Li Niangzi who dragged the princess alive and didn't let her in, but now it has become the princess who is willing to stand here.
Jiang Liuyu began to laugh unwillingly, Li Niangzi wanted to divert the topic just now, but she didn't let her get her wish, after all, there are still many places where Li Niangzi can be separated by words.
"I know that Mrs. Li feels sorry for me, and she will definitely not let me drag my sick body over, otherwise it will be unlucky on Mrs. Li's big day, right?" Jiang Liuyu pulled out her hand and held your lady back, the smile on her face was affectionate and mocking, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, and coughed twice very cooperatively.
Jiang Liuyu put down her hand after coughing, and put it on Li Niangzi's hand again. Mrs. Li was very disgusted, but it was not good to spread her hand in public.
"But the person sent by Mrs. Li said that Mrs. Li thought that I was so important that I had to come and take a look. Although I was also a little hesitant, I thought that Mrs. Li treated me so well, I said how to refute your intentions, and now I want Mrs. Li to worry about me, which is really a sin. ”
"Which slave is so unruly and unorthodox." Mrs. Li resolutely refused to admit that she had sent the person.
Otherwise, if others know about this matter, the mansion of the military department is full of noble and decent ladies in the back house, as long as everyone thinks about it for a while, no one can guess the deep meaning behind Mrs. Li.
"The princess has been wronged, please tell me, and I will teach the princess a lesson for this disrespectful servant."
"Forget it, he just acts according to his master's orders, how can I blame a subordinate who can't call the shots." Jiang Liuyu sneered in her heart, and suddenly let go of her hand, which made Li Niangzi at a loss for a while, and reflexively wiped her hand behind her back.
"By the way, I deliberately picked out a few pieces of jewelry, just to ask Mrs. Li to take a look." Jiang Liuyu said, and asked Xiaoyun to hand over the box in his hand.
Jiang Liuyu chose all the valuable jadeite, Xiaoyun had no good impression of her since she saw Li Niangzi's small act just now, and now she felt that such a good jadeite was really a waste to give it to someone like her.
"Although the person sent by Mrs. Li told me that I don't need to prepare gifts, I think that the courtesy is light and affectionate, so I have to express it anyway, and I still hope that Mrs. Li can like it."
Jiang Liuyu's words hit her face one by one, and these words were not done by a big lady who abides by the rules and understands etiquette.
Li Niangzi is angry now, but she still has to pretend to be affectionate on her face, and Jiang Liuyu feels tired and panicked for her.
When the box opened, Mrs. Li couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! ”
"With such a good jadeite, the princess is willing to give it to me, I really have a heart." Mrs. Li looked very happy, and took out a small jade Maitreya Buddha and put it in the sun to take a closer look.
Jiang Liuyu didn't believe that she didn't see what she meant, and now she was just holding on. In fact, when she saw the contents of the box, Mrs. Li's first reaction was that she was almost angry.
But Mrs. Li is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and a small trick like this is not enough to destroy her excellent emotional control. The anger in her heart will rarely get out of control, but because she thought Jiang Liuyu was so difficult to pinch before, but now that Jiang Liuyu's wings are stiff, she dares to repay herself like this, Li Niangzi feels very unwilling.
The deep meaning of this Jade Maitreya Buddha is actually very simple. If someone with a good relationship sends it over, it is a blessing to prevent disasters for the master. But Jiang Liuyu and Li Niangzi have already torn their faces, and this meaning has changed greatly.
The jade is fragile, and it is ironic that Li Niangzi is very inward-looking, and she is vulnerable to attack. Maitreya Buddha often laughs, and he is merciful and compassionate, which is to make it clear that he laughed at Li Niangzi's smile and hidden knives, and the femme fatale was heartfelt.
Li Niangzi held the Jade Maitreya Buddha in her hand, who could know how much she wanted to smash this piece of jade at this time.
"It's good if Mrs. Li likes it." No matter how well Li Niangzi hid it, Jiang Liuyu still saw a flaw. Jiang Liuyu nodded with satisfaction, she finally pulled back a game in front of her, and let her taste this unspeakable taste of bitterness.
Mrs. Li stood there, quietly taking a deep breath to calm her anger, and suddenly saw Mrs. Gu walking in through the gate.
"Lady of the Li family, I accidentally came late today, don't blame me." Mrs. Gu said, walked to Mrs. Li very familiarly, and consciously ignored Jiang Liuyu.
"No, Madame has a heart, it's not too late to arrive." Mrs. Li quietly put the jade back, not paying much attention to her arrival.
"What is this? Who gave the congratulatory gift, how could it be contained in such an ugly box? Mrs. Gu turned her head sideways, as if she had just seen Jiang Liuyu, and shouted in surprise, "It turns out that the princess is also here, and the courtiers have seen the princess." ”
"Mrs. Gu, don't be polite." Jiang Liuyu replied very far-fetchedly, and then looked at Mrs. Gu playfully, "As for the gift in Mrs. Li's hand, it was originally given by me, what does Mrs. Gu have to say?" ”
"The courtiers have any high opinions, it's just nonsense." Mrs. Gu didn't take Jiang Liuyu very seriously, but now that she said a few words to her, she obviously felt that her momentum was weak.
Before Mrs. Li could close the box, Mrs. Gu looked at her curiously, and exclaimed again, "Princess, this is a large amount of jadeite in good condition, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of silver." ”
Mrs. Li is really fed up with Mrs. Gu's big mouth, she originally befriended Mrs. Gu, but she felt that her brain was too straight, easy to use, and her mouth was not strict, and she loved to chew the root of other people's tongues the most in her life. These have now become the characteristics that Li Niangzi hates the most.
"Mrs. Gu thinks it's good, I look at it and I'm happy, but the wealth is not exposed, I still ask someone to hurry up and receive it in the warehouse."
Mrs. Li closed the box and asked her subordinates to take it down. Mrs. Gu likes jade jade ornaments the most, and when she looks at this box in the distance, her eyes show reluctance.
"Mrs. Li used to be the most generous, and she must share any good things with her sisters, but now she brings things back to the treasury like a hidden treasure, which shows that she really likes these jadeites."
Mrs. Gu originally just sighed, but she didn't notice that the faces of Li Niangzi and Jiang Liuyu had changed. Jiang Liuyu listened to his words, and it was really uncomfortable to hold back her smile, it turned out that there were people who were more stupid than her here.
Jiang Liuyu, who gave the gift, is still here, whether Mrs. Li likes it or not, it is impossible for her to give away the gift she just gave away in front of the master. This Mrs. Gu is afraid that she wants those jadeites and wants to faint.
"If the eldest lady of the Gu family really likes it, I will send you some better ones another day." It's also like you've never seen the world, and you're embarrassed in front of Jiang Liuyu in the countryside.
Mrs. Li was really angry when she saw them, so she simply threw up her sleeves and went to the garden. Mrs. Gu followed behind, with joy on her face, "What Mrs. Li said is true, then I will thank Mrs. Li first." ”
Mrs. Gu never realized that there was anything wrong with her behavior, and Jiang Liuyu realized what the image of a dog leg was.
Li Niangzi went to the garden to dissipate her anger, Jiang Liuyu had no one around to lead the way, Xiaoyun quietly leaned into her ear and pointed to her left.
"Princess, let's go there." Jiang Liuyu was curious about how it made this decision, and Xiaoyun continued, "Walking this way is just staggered in the direction of Li Niangzi, so we don't have to run into them." ”
Jiang Liuyu almost couldn't help laughing, her hand was hidden in her wide sleeve, and she quietly slapped Xiaoyun's arm, "You girl, you say as if I'm afraid of them." ”
"But there are too many rights and wrongs with them, so let's go to a cleaner place." After hearing this, Xiaoyun couldn't help but nod in agreement.
On the right is the garden where Mrs. Li is going, and on the left is a long corridor of water and wood, which seems to be connected to a courtyard or attic. Jiang Liuyu stretched his neck and looked at the back of the corridor, but he still couldn't see the end of the corridor.
Between the corridors is a canal, and countless rockery islands are twisted and wound to block the scenery behind.
Jiang Liuyu was aroused by this peculiar house design, but fortunately, it was too troublesome for people to relax in the corridor, and no one passed by, Jiang Liuyu, please relax yourself a little here.
Jiang Liuyu was very imageless, and ran a few steps on the corridor with Xiaoyun, and suddenly heard a voice speaking in front of him.
"Lady of the Zheng family, I don't know if you slept well yesterday." Jiang Liuyu's eyes widened when she heard this.
