Chapter 16 Each has his own mind

Due to Xin Sihan's unexpected death, the matter of the division was also put on hold, and the days were still passing slowly. But the matter of the town's mansion still disturbed the palace.

"Old lady, the eldest lady has come to say goodbye." Yingge smiled and invited the old lady to come

Mrs. Zhen changed into a red peony Yunjin court dress early in the morning, and was having breakfast, when she heard that the eldest lady had arrived, she was very satisfied, "Please come in." ”

"Granddaughter greets grandmother." Chu Mengxi wore a light pink peach blossom embellished with a soft satin breast-length skirt, and only a milky white fragrant silk belt was tied on her slender waist, and the belt was gently sprinkled behind her back, with the action of please An, the slender and white neck was slightly bent, and the butterflies on her head played with flowers and red gold steps shook with a crisp sound, and the early morning sun sprinkled on the face like a flower, without powder, and it was another lovely style. Old Madam Zhen nodded secretly and asked with concern, "Hurry up, why did you come so early?" Ready for dinner? ”

"Back to my grandmother, it's simple to use, yesterday I heard that my grandmother was going to enter the palace to see me, and I was afraid that I would miss the time of my grandmother's visit, so I hurried here, and if there is any rudeness, please forgive my grandmother." Chu Mengxi smiled and walked forward with the copied Heart Sutra and held the outstretched hand of Old Madam Zhen.

"You! It's been a day of tossing, and it's not easy to rest, so I feel really distressed to watch. Old Madam Zhen said angrily.

"This palace is late, and when it is time to catch up with the court, you have to wait, and you are tired of your grandmother waiting for the audience, how can your granddaughter be at ease." Chu Mengxi said ashamedly, "The queen mother worships the Buddha all the year round, and her granddaughter copied a copy of the Heart Sutra. ”

"Hmm." Old Madam Zhen looked at Juanxiu's handwriting and nodded with satisfaction.

"Looks like I'm late." Su Ruoxue was wearing court clothes and looked at her grandparents and grandchildren with a smile.

"I've seen my mother." Chu Mengxi got up and said

"Why did you come so early, I must have slept late last night, and I looked at it now." Su Ruoxue looked at it carefully and said

Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Zhen was also very satisfied, so she reopened her mouth and said, "Last night, I discussed with your mother, your mother has no daughter, and you are the most gentle and generous, dignified and lovely, I mean let you pass under your mother's name, how about it?" ”

Chu Mengxi's heart jumped slightly when she heard the word "daughter", and when the old lady said the step, joy poured into her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she said after groaning slightly: "Grandmother and mother should not say goodbye to love, but aunt is ......."

"What can you do with your aunt?" Old Madam Zhen said dissatisfiedly, "Look at what Meng Yao has become, I am left with such a good granddaughter, but I can't be harmed by her." ”

"Xi'er, don't worry, I'll go and say it on my aunt's side, my mother really wants you as a daughter." Su Ruoxue took Chu Mengxi's hands and said

Chu Mengxi looked at the two of them in embarrassment, thought for a moment, nodded again, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"So very good, I met the queen mother, and by the way, I told the mother the news, the princess of this country is also going to be on the plate, Xi'er is tired for a day, and she will go back to rest in a while." Song of the warbler. ”

"Ah, old lady." Yingge smiled and took out a yellow rosewood inlaid gold box, and Mrs. Zhen took out a glass Ruyi jade pendant from the box, "Xi'er, this jade pendant is good to keep." ”

Chu Mengxi looked at the palm-sized jade pendant in his hand, and was very happy in his heart, this jade pendant is the symbol of the Qingguo Mansion, and since then he has become the eldest lady of the Qingguo Mansion, and his identity has changed by I don't know how many levels.

"Grandmother Xie, Mother Xie, I still bother my grandmother and mother to appease the queen mother and the eldest princess, Xi'er doesn't delay my grandmother and mother, Xi'er retires." Chu Mengxi thanked him and retired, happy as falling into the clouds, within one day, he became the eldest daughter of the princess from the concubine, what kind of royal family can't achieve, why lock himself in the deep garden of the palace, waiting to climb step by step, if he can marry the prince and then help him to ascend the throne, then even if he is not the queen, he must be the position of the fourth concubine.

But the second prince, Chu Mengxi knew that he became the heir of the Guogong Mansion, which meant that it was impossible for him to break off with the second prince.

If the imperial concubine of the second prince is either Xia Yunsheng or Zhen Linxuan, it is absolutely impossible for him and the Qingguo Mansion behind him. Of course, this small fluctuation was quickly overshadowed by euphoria.

After Chu Mengxi left, Mrs. Zhen said, "Xue'er, I want to discuss Xi'er's marriage with the queen." ”

Su Ruoxue knew that with Chu Mengxi's identity, the old lady would definitely not do such useless work, and last night Su Ruoxue knew that what the old lady Zhen wanted was marriage.

Among the princes, the eldest prince has no chance to take the throne, the second prince is from the queen, and the position of the main concubine is only those two, and he will definitely not give it to his concubine again, which is a waste.

The third prince and the second prince are not compatible, not to mention the cold feelings of the third prince.

And the second prince is from the queen, and the Qingguo Mansion is inextricably linked with the second prince, and he will not send Chu Mengxi to the third prince's mansion, and the third prince will not accept it. Then there are only the four princes and the fifth princes. The mother family of the four princes declined and did not become a climate.

"Mother mean?" Su Ruoxue asked

"You're the most transparent, you know what I mean, what do you think?" Old Madam Zhen asked

"The position of the side concubine?" Su Ruoxue returned

"No, I want the position of concubine." Old Man Zhen said, "How can the eldest daughter of my Qingguo Mansion be condescended to the position of a side concubine. ”

"What the mother said is that the daughter-in-law is wrong." Su Ruoxue said

"It's good that you're cautious, but now it's looming to take over the heir, and the place you use must be the key point." Old Madam Zhen said in a deep voice, "You go and prepare, the Zhenguo Mansion must not be offended, I will go to the queen's palace by myself." I also told the queen about the situation and listened to my thoughts. ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is retiring."

……

Everything is slow in the mansion compound, but the news of this master is the fastest, not to mention that the eldest lady who was originally a concubine turned into the eldest daughter of the house, and such a big news spread all over the mansion like wings.

In the Meditation Garden, Chu Mengyao was punished and grounded, and she was bored of fighting this starling brother, but she heard Xiangling hurriedly run and say, "Third Miss, I heard that the eldest lady was succeeded by the eldest lady." ”

"What?" Chu Mengyao stood up with a bang, "What did you say?" She was succeeded by Su Ruoxue? Hmph, I knew that she had a purpose to please the two old witches so much, and I went to see my aunt! ”

"Third Miss, you are grounded now, this, you can't get out." Xiangling said embarrassedly

"Then, you go and inform your aunt!" Chu Mengyao said angrily

"I think it should have been spread in this house, and my aunt must have received the news. I think my aunt will deal with it. Xiangling returned

Hearing this, Chu Mengyao sat down angrily, and said again: "I can't let her go!" Hum! Let me be grounded, thinking that I can't do anything with you? Inform Mama Wang to get rid of that little slut in Jinxi first, so that she can see what happens if she offends me. Chu Mengyao slapped the table angrily.

"Yes, slave and maid are going! Miss, don't be angry. Xiangling reassured.

"I'm!" Chu Mengyao was angry and picked up the tea cup in her hand and slammed it to the ground. The delicate tea cup was shattered in an instant, and the water stains on the ground looked like Chu Mengyao was in a hurry. What, my mother didn't suppress her life when she left her alive, she was angry when she looked at her face, and she was angry with me!

"I'm angry, I'm angry," Starling said

Xiangling hurriedly took the starling away and whispered, "Ancestor, don't call it." "While going out of the garden, I want to inform Mama Wang.

On the other hand, Mama Wang is not having a good time. In Jingshu Garden, Chu Mengxi sat on the main seat, standing on one side of Jinxi, in the main hall kneeling Shulan, Shuyin, and Mama Wang, and the other maids stood on one side, not looking at them quietly sipping tea, but the three of them felt a burst of coldness in this summer, and sweat beads dripped on the ground in front of them.

Chu Mengxi looked at the three people who were afraid of him and sneered in his heart, an aunt is an aunt, the eldest daughter can even have the right to kill, these slaves and maids who have been bought and placed are not enough to be afraid, and they can only say that they have kept their duty as slaves before, and they are also looking at the fact that they may enter the palace, but now they know that they are afraid, and they know that they are loyal to them? hum

Chu Mengxi glanced at Jinxi, Jinxi understood, and said coldly: "Today is the great joy of the young lady, and I will not forget everyone in the garden on the day of the future Feihuang Tengda." ”

"Miss Xie." Everyone said in fear

"Shulan, Shuxiang, and Mama Wang, do you say yes?" Jinxi looked at the three of them and said coldly.

"Old slaves and slaves should serve with their hearts."

"I don't know, it turns out that the three of you didn't care about it before?" Chu Mengxi glanced at the three of them and said

"Old slave."

"It seems that there is no shortage of manpower in my Jingshu Garden, right?" Chu Mengxi looked at Jinxi and asked

"Back to Miss, Mrs. said that there are some people missing in Miss's yard, and I will arrange for Yazi to send some to Miss tomorrow."

Hearing this, the three of them were even more panicked, relying on their aunt's momentum before, although they did not bully Chu Mengxi, there were still things of neglect, and they even had the intention of taking care of their aunt. Now that Chu Mengxi is the eldest daughter, Mrs. Zhen is sure that what she wants is not an ordinary family, and it may be better than entering the palace, and listening to Chu Mengxi means holding a grudge.

"Miss, the slave maid was blinded by lard before, and she neglected the eldest lady, the slave maid...

"Where did Mama Wang say, Mama Wang is my nurse, how can I be lazy, I see that Mama Wang is old, it's time to rest, and I heard the words wrong."

"Miss, slave." Mama Wang said anxiously, the moon silver given by the mansion of this country is considerable, this eldest lady has become the identity of the concubine, the moon silver will only increase, not decrease, not to mention the eldest lady's temper, what will happen in the future is really hard to say.

"You two seem to be old enough to get married, right? I'll go back to my mother tomorrow, but don't delay. Chu Mengxi no longer ignored Mama Wang, looked at Shulan and Shuyin and said.

"Miss, slave, slave wants to be with Miss all the time." Shulan and Shuyin hurriedly said

"I'm a small temple, and I can't accommodate a big Bodhisattva." Chu Mengxi said with a sneer

"Okay, look upset." Chu Mengxi impatiently sent it away, there will be disaster if the unfaithful are kept, and these three people will be eliminated, not to mention that they know too much, but this time is not right, Chu Mengxi's eyes have a touch of coldness.

"Miss, please be gracious." The three of them were panicked and kowtowed again and again

"Please forgive the slave and maid for the sake of the slave and maid who have served for many years." Mama Wang said

"Forgiveness? When my mother was orphaned, how did you repay it? Chu Mengxi said sharply.

After hearing this, Mama Wang knew that the eldest lady was already aware of what happened back then, but how old was the eldest lady at that time? But a three-year-old doll, unexpectedly? Mama Wang thought of a panic, a layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she looked at Chu Mengxi who was sitting in front of her in horror, only to see a trace of murderous intent in Chu Mengxi's eyes.

And Shulan and Shuyin didn't know, and they were still calm.

"The slave knows that the eldest lady has a grudge in her heart, but now that the eldest lady is employing people, she still hopes that the eldest lady will forgive the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid will be loyal and beg the eldest lady to be gracious." Mama Wang kowtowed desperately and said, Shulan and Shuyin didn't dare to be careless, the muffled sound of the three kowtowing echoed in the main hall, and their foreheads gradually became red, swollen and bruised.

Chu Mengxi held back his killing intent and said, "Okay, Jinxi"

"Yes, Miss," Jinxi turned around and took out a few pieces of paper from the small table, "I want to ask Miss for forgiveness, but it's up to you." ”

The three of them saw that this was not anything else, but three deeds of sale, Mama Wang had a deed of sale of her son in front of her, and Shulan Shuyin was in front of her sister's deed of sale, all three were death deeds, and they were all terrified for a while.

"What? Don't want to? Chu Mengxi asked coldly

The three of them knew that they had to sign if they didn't sign it, but from now on, not only themselves, but even their families were in Chu Mengxi's hands.

"If you don't want to, it's nothing, the eldest lady is also very tolerant of you, and you have other places to go." Jinxi said with a sneer

"No, the slave is willing" The three of them are also a means to understand the eldest lady, although they have received the silver taels from their aunt, but they dare not snub the eldest lady, and the eldest lady was just a milk doll at that time, and she can protect herself under her aunt since she was a child, mediate with the old lady, between the lady, and now she can be raised as a concubine. This will naturally not be bad in the future, since not signing is a dead end, it is better to fight, and it is the same to work hard to win the trust of the eldest lady in the future.

Chu Mengxi watched the three of them press their handprints, and sneered in his heart, they are really a group of slaves who are afraid of things, and now they have just carried their daughters, but it is not easy to move them, so it is okay, there are still many places to use in the future.

On the other hand, Aunt Li was also very uneasy when she received the news, Chu Mengxi's identity has changed, which means that in the future, Chu Mengxi's role in the master will become greater, and what about the role of her aunt? No, Chu Mengxi must be pinched now, and there must be no chaos.

Just as Aunt Li got up and arrived at Chu Mengxi's courtyard, she didn't expect something to happen that made her even more panicked. That is, Mama Wang has already rebelled.

"Is there anything else going on with Mama Wang?" Chu Mengxi glanced at Mama Wang, who was following her, and asked lazily

"Miss, the old slave was intimidated by Aunt Li before, so he ......"

Chu Mengxi raised his eyes and looked at Mama Wang in front of him, about fifty, the way of maintenance is not bad, he was looking at himself with a smile, he only felt that such an attitude was really disgusting, and he interrupted impatiently, and said: "Okay, I'm too lazy to listen to your set, from now on, remember who is your master!" ”

"Yes, yes," Mama Wang hurriedly said, "What the eldest lady said is that it is precisely because the old slave is ashamed that she wants to report the matter and solve the problem for the eldest lady." ”

Chu Mengxi raised his eyebrows slightly, is this in exchange for trust? "What?"

Seeing that Chu Mengxi didn't seem interested, Mama Wang licked her face and leaned over to Chu Mengxi's side, "Miss, although the old slave said that there was something wrong, watching the eldest lady grow up, I really felt sorry for the eldest lady." ”

Jinxi looked at Mama Wang like this with disdain, and snorted coldly Don't look away, Mama Wang listened to it, and didn't dare to complain: "Of course, without Miss Jinxi's dedication, this used to be an old slave." ”

"Okay, let's make it clear, Miss is busy." Jinxi said disdainfully

"Yes, I know that the eldest lady is originally rich and noble, but she has been threatened by Aunt Li so far."

"Unnecessary?" Chu Mengxi asked suspiciously

"Yes" Seeing Chu Mengxi's excitement, Mama Wang felt that what she said was very right, "At that time, the eldest lady was still young, and the situation was very chaotic at that time, at that time, the eldest lady's mother, that is, the real Aunt Li, in order to protect the eldest lady was seriously injured, Aunt Li hid the eldest lady in the rockery, hey, this is ......"

"That's what you're talking about? Hmph," Chu Mengxi said disdainfully

"No, of course it's more than that," Mama Wang knew, and the eldest lady must know this, "The old slave knew that the real Aunt Li was long gone." ”

"What?" When Chu Mengxi heard such a result, he suddenly felt that the five thunders were thundering, and his mother was gone? The mother who loved her is gone? So what is the compromise I have made over the years? What is the hope of each day and every night? Oh, it's good, it's good, it's good to take care of yourself with your mother's relatives, it's good, if you know such a thing before, you still have no power to fight back, but now? Hmph, I've remembered all the enmity over the years, and now it's time for me to fight back. The nails of both hands sank deep into the delicate palms, oozing a little blood.

"Miss, my aunt is here." The maid outside is all here

"Hmph, it's good to come, let her come and see me!" Chu Mengxi couldn't calm down, his eyes were round, and his chest was burned with anger.
