Chapter 468: Being a matchmaker

The next day, after breakfast, Gan Peilin and the ladies in the house basked in the sun.

Ao Li and Cuiyun also sorted out the account books in the mansion and handed over the details to her for review.

"Madam, it's about to be summer, and the house has to purchase a batch of new goods, and the rest is easy to say. But in previous years, we were with Qing Niang's silk Zhuang new satin, this year in the imperial city embroidery village flowers, but I don't know whose good to use. While Ao Li spoke, someone sent a batch of embroidery. Madam, these are the samples left behind after the concubine's body has been carefully selected. Which one is better, you have to see. ”

Gan Peilin glanced at the embroidery a little lazily: "I'll look at it, you can take the idea." ”

Ao Li smiled gently: "Madame is so gentle and generous. The concubine had the courage to pick two orders. I also ask the sisters in the house to go through the comparison, and next year, we will have a score in our hearts. ”

"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded slightly. As soon as he picked up the teacup, he saw two figures hurrying towards this side.

"Ao, you did a good job."

"Princess Zhen?" Ao Li was startled by this sudden voice, and turned to meet Shangzhen's sharp gaze.

"How dare you treat my child like this, are you tired of living?" Zhen gritted his teeth and glared at Ao Li, and the poison in his eyes seemed to be able to kill.

"What?" Ao Li was confused, and hurriedly got up and saluted her: "Did the princess misunderstand?" I've been taking good care of the pod, and I haven't missed anything. Last afternoon, Xiangye also visited the concubine and praised the concubine for being careful. Why did you come here to question the concubine after only one night? ”

"You ask me?" Zhen sneered lightly, and said coldly: "Suoyang, she doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, show it to him." ”

Suo Yang threw a piece of close-fitting clothes at Ao Li.

The clothes fell on Ao Li's face, and when she took off her clothes in embarrassment, something pierced her palm. "Ahh

"What's your name?" Zhen took a step forward with a cold face and grabbed Ao Li's pierced palm: "Such a sharp needle actually pierced my child's back in the clothes of the cane." The child kept crying in pain, and his voice was hoarse. That's it, if you look at this garment, the blood from the wounds is congealed. I can't complain that I've been worried since last night, and I can't sleep all night, this must be the connection between mother and son. ”

Ao Li endured the pain in his hands and picked up the clothes, and sure enough, there were a few coagulated blood stains.

"It's impossible, I sewed this garment with my own hands. I checked several times and there was absolutely no problem. Besides, there are always a number of silver needles in my room, and if one is missing, it is impossible not to notice. Ao Li looked sideways at Shiso.

Zi Su hurriedly said: "The princess doesn't know, there is no silver needle in our aunt's room. This is a habit that my aunt has developed since childhood. Then the slave and maid went to fetch the needlework and the ladies and asked the princess and the lady to look at them. ”

"Does it work?" Zhen's eyes were red and full of murderous intent: "If I hadn't discovered it in time, this silver needle would have penetrated into my child's body, and as he jumped and walked in his body every day, once it entered the internal organs, it would be death!" Whether you admit it or not, children are in your hands. If you want to explain, go and explain to your husband, I have already taken the child back to me, and you don't want to touch my child's finger again. ”

"Princess, you are too arbitrary to do this. If you haven't checked the matter, you will be sure that it is me......" Before Ao Li finished arguing for herself, Princess Zhen had already turned around and left.

The ladies looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

From beginning to end, Gan Peilin was silent. She expected that Princess Zhen would not sit still, but she felt sorry for such a young child, who would have to struggle to survive in the whirlpool and suffer a lot.

"Madam, the concubine is really wronged." Ao Li's eyes were red, and he looked at Gan Peilin aggrievedly. "The princess just took the coffin back, how do the people in the house look at the concubine? The concubine has always been very good, as if she was her own, how could she harm him......"

"It's hard to say." Moon by Moon snorted contemptuously: "Second aunt and wife, you really don't mean to harm the son." Can...... You have to take care of the sprinklers in the house, and you have to go in and out to buy, and you have to take the boy with you, so it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other. Maybe there was a mistake in the busyness, and one of them left the needle without paying attention! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ao Li glared at her aggrievedly: "What evidence do you have?" ”

"The concubine is just speculation, where is the evidence." Moon by month lowered her head: "If Mrs. Auntie doesn't want to hear it, then the concubine just shut up." ”

"The affairs of the house, how can you be allowed to speculate like this." Ao Li puffed up and said, "Xiangye will definitely have his own holy judgment." ”

"Ma'am." Lu Yao walked in quickly and said respectfully: "Mrs. Cao Taishou led the two ladies to ask to meet. ”

"Mrs. Cao Taishou?" Gan Peilin was slightly surprised. Although it is said that the relationship between Cao Yixun and Ganfu has always been good. But Mrs. Taishou never came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even in the past, I rarely went to Ganfu to walk around. It is rumored that it is because Mrs. Taishou is not on good terms with her grandmother, but she does not know what is going on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in, and I'll see you in the flower hall." Gan Peilin slowly got up with Yanzi's hand and said to Liulan: "You go and prepare some fragrant tea and pastries." ”

"Madam......" Ao Li saw that Gan Peilin was leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward: "The concubine really didn't do anything to hurt her." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything about this matter." Gan Peilin sighed: "I can only wait for my husband to come back, and then make a decision." But you are relieved that you have not done it, so you naturally do not have to take responsibility. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Ao Li didn't know what to say. I don't know when the wind in the house has changed.

Zhuyue and Xueyan, who have not been by Jiang Yu's side for a long time and have no identity, were unknowingly attracted by Princess Zhen. The more she was held up by Gan Peilin, the more difficult it was to move in this house.

"Sister Ao, don't worry. It's not too late to talk about this matter when Xiangye comes back. Cuiyun walked to her side with a solemn eyebrow: "I believe that you will never be so careless to omit the silver needle, let alone deliberately omit." So, who did this, you must check! ”

Ao Li nodded again and again: "It's to investigate, let's go, let's go now." ”

Cuiyun took a deep breath and asked again: "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Cao Taishou when she came to our mansion......"

"Alas!" Ao Li was not happy in her heart, and she had to complain: "If there is anything, Mrs. will come forward to solve it." With our identity, I'm afraid Mrs. Taishou won't want to see us. ”

"yes." Cuiyun smiled a little bitterly. She looked at the road Gan Peilin left, and the new students were envious. At any time, she will also be able to try the feeling of the affairs of the Lord's house.

Gan Peilin was polite and greeted him directly.

Mrs. Cao Taishou saw that she was fifty people, but she walked very sassy, and she had the style of the daughter of the general.

"Pei Lin has seen Mrs. Taishou."

"The Prime Minister's wife is too polite." Mrs. Taishou smiled lightly. "These two are Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Chen."

"The two ladies are well." Gan Peilin saluted peacefully.

"The Prime Minister's wife is well." The two ladies also returned the favor politely. Looking at his age, he should be in his early forties.

"Inside, please." Gan Peilin invited the three of them into the inner room together before returning to their places to sit down.

At this time, Liulan led the maidservant to serve tea and pastries.

Mrs. Taishou picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "I, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Coming here today, there is a matter of asking the prime minister's wife. ”

"Madame's words are serious." Gan Peilin smiled shyly: "When it comes to seniority, you are Peilin's elder." The elders only have to tell the younger generations, where can they use a word. What's more, my grandfather had a lot of friendship with Taishou during his lifetime, and the things that were turned forward were also the blessings of Taishou......"

"That's a long way off." Mrs. Taishou interrupted Gan Peilin's words, and her smile revealed an incomprehensible elegance. "The affairs of the court, let them men go to work. I'm here because I have a boudoir matter, and I want to ask my wife for help. ”

"Madame, please." Gan Peilin could feel Mrs. Taishou's reluctance, saying that she was here to "beg", but on the contrary, the coercion was greater.

"Ugh." Mrs. Taishou smiled lightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm here to be a matchmaker for Xiangye." ”

"Matchmaker?" Gan Peilin's heart tightened: "Madame means ......"

"I have a lonely little granddaughter, she, alas...... Her mother was gone a long time ago, and her father didn't care much if she had more concubines. At this age, it's hard to stay at home all the time. She is the most thoughtful, and ordinary people don't look down on her, but she takes a fancy to your family. When Mrs. Taishou said this, she looked at Gan Peilin's expression slightly. Naturally, I won't embarrass my wife. When she entered the house, she just wanted to be a concubine. She said that as long as she can serve by Xiangye's side, she is willing. ”

"Oh, this good girl, how can anyone not want to be the main room." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "It shows that this girl really likes our Jiang Xiang." Don't they all talk about the beauty of adults? The prime minister's wife is virtuous and generous, she must not refuse, right? ”

Mrs. Xu also had to echo: "Isn't it?" Now that Xiangye is in a high position, it is reasonable to add one or two concubines. ”

Mrs. Taishou kept staring at Gan Peilin, trying to find her truest thoughts from her face.

Gan Peilin listened with a smile from beginning to end, without too many expressions.

"What do you think, ma'am?" Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Taishou had to ask a question.

"Mrs. Taishou's granddaughter must be the lady of the show, and the lady is willing to be the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is really our Prime Minister's Mansion Gaopan." The corners of Gan Peilin's lips curled slightly: "I'm afraid that I have wronged this girl." ”

"No, it won't. It doesn't hurt if she doesn't feel wronged. Mrs. Taishou thought for a while, and then said: "It's just that for this matter, the Prime Minister's wife must nod." Even if it is a concubine from the Son of Heaven, it is inevitable that he will ask the queen about her intentions, and the lady will be in charge of the affairs of the house. I don't know if Madame is willing or not? ”
