After a few days of leisure, Mrs. Pei didn't ask Fu Mingzhu to come forward again, but only sent a housekeeper surnamed Wu to ask Fu Mingzhu for the floating brocade embroidered bag.

Mrs. Pei punished the second lady, and naturally knew that she was fighting for an embroidery bag to cause trouble. Fu Mingzhu knew that this embroidered bag was going to fall into the hands of the third lady in the end, and smiled at Mrs. Wu: "Even if you don't come, I will also send it, but this thing still needs to wait for a while." ”

Mrs. Wu said impatiently: "How long will you have to wait?" It's not that I asked the big lady to say to you, you are the same person as us, and you are sent by the eldest lady, but don't really think that you are the master, and you have picked up the shelf. ”

Fu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Where do you dare, but I thought that the embroidered bag was going to be sent to Bofu, and the second lady was soaked in pond water in front of me, although I washed it, I always felt a fishy smell." I'm going to wash away the smell, and if you don't hurry to sit down and eat tea, it will be done in a while. ”

Mrs. Wu had nothing else to do, so she sat and waited, only to see Fu Mingzhu sprinkle a layer of unknown fine powder in the porcelain basin, and then turned the embroidery bag over and over and washed it a few times, and then gave the mother-in-law and said: "You dried it in that cool place, but don't bask in the sun." ”

Mrs. Wu smelled it for a while, and sure enough, the fishy smell of the pool water was gone, and there was a faint fragrance, so she took it away with a smile.

Fu Mingzhu sighed lightly and pinched the remaining fine powder in his hand: I don't know if my little trick can escape the catastrophe that my aunt gave her this time.

***

The fifth day of the sixth month is the birthday of Mrs. Zhongyongbo.

The day before the birthday ceremony, everyone got up early and set up a carriage and went to the capital. Fanyang City and the capital are adjacent to each other, but two or three hours of road, a large family of people delayed for a while, and it was dusk when they arrived at Puji Temple.

The Pei family had a good night's sleep, and in the early morning of the second day, several families came to the temple, all of whom came to accompany Mrs. Bo to offer incense. Mrs. Pei led the girls to meet them one by one. Until noon, the voices of people in front of the temple and palace roads gradually increased, and the carriage that was originally from the Zhongyong Bofu came in mightily.

Puji Temple received a lot of sesame oil money from Bofu and several large families, and prepared a meal early to entertain them.

When the banquet was opened, Fu Mingzhu followed Pei Shuwen, the third lady of the Pei family, into the room, unlike the second miss who disdained to walk with Fu Mingzhu and felt insulted even by calling her cousin, this third lady liked to intersect with Fu Mingzhu very much, and pulled her affectionately wherever she went.

It's just that...... Fu Mingzhu knew that this third lady was even more difficult to serve.

The hall is very wide, with different seats for men and women, each shielded by a screen. Fu Mingzhu couldn't see Mrs. Bo's face clearly, and the male guests blocking the screen on the opposite side couldn't see it at all, only looking at the crowd, his own uncle-in-law had already led a few cousins to talk to the old men of the uncle's mansion.

Fu Mingzhu waited for the third lady Pei Shuwen to eat a few delicious meals, and the banquet was already lively, and the wife of the in-laws of the uncle's house smiled: "Mrs. Bo is really a kind person, and she has to pray to the Buddha every year on her birthday, which is different from those of us who recite a few words of Buddha at will." ”

Pei Shuwen stretched her neck to look at her, turned around and said coldly to Fu Mingzhu: "This is the housemother of the Zhang family in the Ministry of Rites. In front of their house, they sent a girl to a forty-year-old master to fill the house, so that they could enter the Ministry of Rites as an official. Now I still think about the position of Mrs. Shizi? It's ridiculous! ”

stared at Fu Mingzhu's face again and said: "The daughters of her family, all of them are as pitiful as you, and they are used to twisting in front of people." I see, a woman like you can just win the favor of men? ”

Pei Shuwen's triangular eyes looked very unkind.

Compared with Fu Mingzhu's thin white melon seed face, and then looking at her black disc face, Pei Shuwen gritted her teeth with hatred. If it weren't for my mother's repeated admonitions, "I will take her in to eat and drink at our house, and wait for her skin to be sold for a good price in the future", she would have scratched her face with a hairpin!

"My cousin laughed, we have a small nose and small eyes, and we can't get on the stage, but my cousin looks dignified. It is said that you are a serious official lady, what am I? Fu Mingzhu said, and got up to prepare dishes for Pei Shuwen.

It was at this time that the hairpin in Pei Shuwen's hand was originally pierced into her hand, but in the end, it just wiped her sleeve, but poked it on the arm of the servant serving on the side.

The person who suffered the hairpin was Mrs. Pei's right-hand man Wu Pozi, who specially sent her to serve Pei Shuwen. Mrs. Wu opened her mouth wide in pain, wanted to cry and shout but didn't dare, and knelt on the ground softly.

Pei Shuwen didn't look at Mrs. Wu, sneered at Fu Mingzhu, took the hairpin and said, "What you said is good." Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, the next sentence you forgot to say, that is, taking a concubine. Your appearance, coupled with your identity, is just right to ......" Yibi covered his lips and smiled disdainfully.

Fu Mingzhu bowed his head and was silent.

Pei Shuwen is the lifeblood of Mrs. Pei, she is not easy to deal with, so she will endure it first.

But after a while, Pei Shuwen stood up again, pulled Fu Mingzhu and said, "I was careless, there was soup splashed on my clothes, you can accompany me to change my clothes." ”

Fu Mingzhu and the Pei family get along day and night, and they already know that this family is almost unscrupulous in order to climb to the Bofu.

During the Dragon Boat Festival last month, Mrs. Pei once mentioned the festival ceremony and went to the Bofu to say goodbye, but the ceremony was returned intact.

Fu Mingzhu didn't care about it at first, but then she looked at Mrs. Pei's great effort for Mrs. Bo's birthday gift, and then she was shocked - how could the woman who was rejected for marriage still be entangled?

But today, Mrs. Bo went into the temple to offer incense, and Mrs. Pei still followed, which can only show that she has come up with another way.

A different way to marry a serious Ming media!

Fu Mingzhu looked at Pei Shuwen, who was getting up in front of her to leave, and then touched the gold collar given by Mrs. Pei on her neck...... Mrs. Pei means that she wants to use her life as a chess piece in this family affair, right?

However, there are some things that cannot be avoided. She was an orphan girl, she had no support, and her aunt could crush her to death with a single finger. Although she has a strange strength, if she is surrounded by several martial arts guards, can she still escape?

"Then let's go." Fu Mingzhu slowly stood up and held Pei Shuwen's hand.

She wants to see what flowers this Pei Shuwen can turn out at such a lively fasting feast!
