Since Mrs. Xiao returned to Yan Mansion to preside over affairs, Xian Chen was happy to be at ease, and she was still confused every day, or she was uncomfortable walking on the wall or lying in bed, or giggling. It was August, and Mrs. Xiao set up an osmanthus banquet and invited many official wives to taste tea, enjoy flowers, and watch plays.

Xianchen was also called over to sit with him for a long time. After lunch, the guests went to watch a play in the garden, where the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom. Xiao Qiuwan set up the stage in the "Charm Garden" with the most osmanthus flowers, and used osmanthus to make all kinds of dim sum, different dim sum with different teas, which has a special interest.

Mrs. Xiao ordered "Xue Dingshan Zhengxi", and ordered someone to hand the play list to Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao smiled and said: "The third lady is here to accompany me today, most young girls like to be lively, so I will order "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

A plump and well-proportioned lady with kind eyebrows said: "Mrs. Qiao really loves her juniors. ”

Mrs. Qiao squinted her eyes and said, "Mrs. Zhu doesn't know, this Miss Yan San is very close to me. The third lady is well-born and capable. ”

There were many people sitting there, one admired the Liu family's family background, and the other was afraid of Mrs. Qiao's wrist, and they all echoed it.

At this time, another lady suddenly said, "Isn't it the one from the Ning family's polo club?" After saying that, he shook the handkerchief with a disgusted face and adjusted the hem of his skirt a few times.

Mrs. Qiao saw that the ladies at the banquet were talking to each other and pointing at each other, and said unhappily: "The third lady is a tiger girl, and when she rides a horse, she naturally does not pretend to be like those delicate young ladies, and there are also cases of accidental injuries, but she was rescued by someone, and she was not disheveled or did not return all night, but was slandered by those villains, which is really pitiful." ”

When the lady heard this, her face turned angry, and she was about to say something, but she held back and said no more. For a while, the ladies in the hall switched sides again and took pity on Xianchen.

Mrs. Qiao was satisfied: "I don't know who is blessed to have a good girl like Miss Three, my wife is really envious." ”

"I see that there is a good family affair in front of me, and the third lady is talking about it."

"It's just the same, although the third lady is such a talent, she can't stand being a concubine, if you want to say that if you marry someone who can't be inferior and be a wife, it's better to go to a high-ranking family to be a noble concubine or a flat wife......"

"Exactly, when I see that the third lady is blessed, I can't say that I will hold the two of them for three years, why worry about not being rich in the future?"

These people who didn't know each other at all said a few words as if they were going to settle the marriage for her, Mrs. Xiao heard the doorway inside, and was silent thoughtfully for a moment before smiling: "Ladies are showing love, but isn't it a joke to say this in front of the children?" ”

Mrs. Qiao laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I'm in a hurry." ”

Xianchen always sat at the end of the seat, as if he didn't hear it, and watched the play seriously. Today, she was wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress, and her right hand was clenching the blue hairband on her left wrist in the big sleeve, and her face still couldn't help but turn pale.

At this time, the maids came up with a plate of brightly colored pastries shaped like peonies. Mrs. Xiao said: "Come on, come on, try this 'flower blossoming wealth', the new skills of the cook, everyone is also interesting." ”

Everyone praised each other for tasting it, and the atmosphere was more harmonious and harmonious than before. Xianchen sat with him for a while, and then went back to Jingyuan to change his clothes.

Although Xianchen didn't dare to say that he guessed Mrs. Qiao's meaning nine times out of ten, he could also guess six or seven points, and it was difficult to sit still after returning to Jingyuan. In an instant, this matter spread in Yan's mansion, and the two brothers Yan Lang and Yan Ming came to Jingyuan to find out. The three of them automatically used the connections in the house to find out, and pieced together a scenario:

After General Yan returned home, he heard about this, and went to Qinfangyuan angrily, and then somehow they argued, Mrs. Xiao can be said to raise eyebrows to General Yan, and General Yan can be regarded as respectful to Mrs. Xiao. Today, General Yan said something heavy: "The Liu family can be described as a nest of tigers and wolves, Mrs. Qiao is domineering, Liu Shangshu is lustful, and the mansion is full of smoke and miasma, then Liu Baiqin can be Yue'er's father." ”

Mrs. Xiao picked up the fragment of the teacup on the ground and said, "The old man is angry." Mrs. Na Qiao didn't say it explicitly, and she didn't say that it was Liu Shangshu......"

Without waiting for Mrs. Xiao to finish speaking, General Yan interrupted: "Who else could it be?" Mrs. Qiao regularly looks at Xian Chen's behavior as a martial artist, and she is the daughter of an official eunuch, thinking that Xian Chen's identity and ability can suppress Liu Baiqin's concubines who are not coming from the right way, and the atmosphere in the mansion. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xiao spoke, General Yan smashed the glass vase on the shelf again, word by word, and roared angrily: "Idiot! Heart! Absurd! Think! ”

The maid who knelt outside the door didn't dare to go in when she heard the ping-pong inside, so she had to lie on the ground and tremble.

This time, Mrs. Xiao didn't pick up the debris on the ground again and said, "Even if she has this intention, I haven't agreed, why should the master be so angry?" ”

"But you didn't refuse, and gave her room to slow down in front of everyone, I'm afraid that at this moment, my Yue'er is going to be the concubine of the Liu family, and everyone knows about it." General Yan said and sat on the couch, touching his forehead with his hand, as if he had a head disease again.

"I ......," Mrs. Xiao couldn't deny when she heard this.

"I don't know what you want, first, I'm afraid that there is no Xiao family to rely on, you want to find another help for me; Second, it can be said that it is worse to offend the Liu family at this moment. General Yan's tone softened slightly.

"Master, I have always regarded Yue'er as my own, don't you feel sorry for me? It's just that the stakes are at stake, and the master understands it, so why bother me to talk about it. Seeing that General Yan understood her mind so well, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but shed tears.

"Confused. I, Yan Yujing, can't trade my daughter even if I return to the field."

"Old man......"

General Yan said helplessly: "Madam, you are smart and others are not stupid, do you know who is behind Liu Baiqin?" This time he married with a general, but he knew that there was no conspiracy behind it? ”

Mrs. Xiao was both remorseful and embarrassed, but lowered her head and said no more.

Xianchen listened to the people's patchwork and scattered replies and sat down on the chair with blank eyes. Xiao Yu'er retreated from everyone, and she also retreated and closed the door, leaving only the three of her to say something close to herself.

Yan Ming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "I'll go to find my mother, she can't treat the third sister like this." As he spoke, he rushed out the door.

Yan Lang grabbed him and pressed him back into the chair and said, "Fourth brother can't be impulsive, mother also has her difficulties." ”

"How's that good? Could it be that you just watched the third sister ......"

"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, isn't it still inconclusive?"

"You guys go back first, I want to be quiet." Xianchen didn't want to listen or speak anymore, and he didn't turn his head to leave, and a person who had always been happy suddenly looked like a withered plant, which made people look a little scared. Yan Lang and Yan Ming were silent and left worriedly.

At this moment, the "Jingyuan" is really quiet, very quiet......
