Jiang Xinyao saw that Zhang Xinyu was called away, and she didn't have the slightest interest, so she sat lazily in the corner, thinking about the scene that had just happened.

Yinggui gently fanned the brocade fan beside her, worried about the young lady. The third lady is used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and she can't afford to provoke the granddaughter of the princess's mansion, so she will definitely settle the account on the young lady.

Jiang Xinyao said softly: "Yinggui, don't worry, your young lady and I never cause trouble, and I am never afraid of things." ”

Yinggui whispered: "Miss, Miss Zhang's family is really powerful, that momentum, that guts, it's really relieving to watch." ”

Jiang Xinyao shook gently: "Yinggui, you can't just look at the surface when you look at things, you must ask why." Really powerful people are afraid that they don't bother to say a word. ”

Ying Gui was suspicious: "Miss, then you say, who is that powerful?" ”

Jiang Xinyao thought about it seriously and said, "In my eyes, my mother is the first one. ”

Yinggui was even more puzzled: "How can it be the second wife?" The old lady is much better than her. Every time I go to Guiyuntang, the old lady doesn't say anything, and when she looks at you lightly, she can see your heart. I felt that my legs were weak, my tongue was knotted, and I couldn't walk, and I couldn't speak. ”

Jiang Xinyao scolded with a smile: "A maid who has no interest." Remember, the people who can make you look scared are paper tigers; Those who smile at you have to have more eyes. ”

Compared with Dongmei, Yinggui is still a little worse in the end, but fortunately, he is loyal to Xinyao and makes good dishes, which has a love that others can't compare.

The master and servant hid in the corner, talking leisurely, and the eldest maid Xia He, who was beside her mother, was sweaty, and she hurriedly looked for it, and said hurriedly: "Fourth Miss, let the slave and maid look for it for a while, the Dragon Boat Festival competition has begun, and the second wife will let you take the embroidered sachet." ”

"What about the mother?"

"Miss Hui, the second wife was pestered and couldn't leave, so she specially asked the slave to inform you. Hurry up, it'll be too late in a minute. ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Sister Xia He, take a sip of tea, cool off, it's nothing to fight for it, Sister Xia Cha is hot, I feel distressed." ”

Xia He smiled: "Miss's words are heartwarming, the slave maid sent the sachet first, and then went back to the young lady to ask for tea." ”

Jiang Xinyao took out the sachet and handed it to Xia He. Xia He said a blessing to the young lady and left in a hurry.

Yinggui hurriedly said: "Miss, it's so lively over there, let's go and take a look, this Dragon Boat Festival competition only happens once a year." ”

Jiang Xinyao was really too lazy to get up, and when she saw that the sun was shining outside the cabin and the heat wave was bursting, she took a break and only sent the warbler back to take a look.

After the half-pillar of incense, Yinggui walked over with an excited face, and said in a loud voice: "Miss, Miss, your sachet won the second place, let's go, the top three, the Shen Mansion will be rewarded." ”

Jiang Xinyao asked, "Oh, who is the first?" ”

Ying returned and said: "Miss Lin Yiyi, Lin Zhizhou's daughter." ”

Jiang Xinyao thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, go and tell my mother that I have a heat stroke, and if there is any reward for my mother to take it on her behalf, I will give it back to me." ”

Ying Gui complained: "Miss, sit in the cabin well, fall into the heat stroke, those wives, Miss is basking in the sun outside the cabin, one by one." How can I tell this lie? ”

"Stupid girl, you won't say that your young lady is weak, go quickly."

Yinggui despises it in her heart, where is Miss weak? It's obviously lazy, if you make a good dish by yourself, it will be poisonous again, and you can run faster than any other.

Jiang Xinyao watched Yinggui leave helplessly with an angry face.

I really thought that the Shenfu cruise ship was as simple as a cruise ship. Shen Fu from the selection of candidates, the next post, to the competition just now, I am afraid that they are all meaningful. What kind of coincidence is the competition? It's not a sachet, it's a person. She doesn't want me to be a fish and a knife.

In fact, the purpose of the Shen Mansion to hold this Dragon Boat Festival cruise is to win over and curry favor with the famous nobles of Suzhou Mansion. The second is to let the wives choose the right person from these young ladies and marry each other. The third is to grasp the direction of the wind through the chatter of wives and ladies. Of the major families in Suzhou Prefecture, there are few people who are officials in the court.

Jiang Xinyao had watched a few historical dramas when she was bored in her previous life, and she understood the simple truth that the inner house was connected to the court. Isn't it said as the old saying goes, there is no good banquet, there is no good banquet, the gun shoots the first bird, every proverb! This is also the reason why Jiang Xinyao went to the banquet quietly and stayed away from the crowd.

She is a simple person, she just wants to live a simple life, those high-gate compounds, not the places she wants to stay, looking glamorous, she doesn't know what it looks like inside, she doesn't want to spend her life on fighting people. Er's honey, my arsenic, if possible, she also wants to go back to the old house to live, worry-free about food and clothing, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and be happy.

When Gu heard that his daughter was suffering from heat stroke, he accompanied the women, said hello to Chen, and hurried to Jiang Xinyao's side. Seeing her daughter drinking tea with a leisurely face, how could there be a hint of heat stroke, and scolded: "You leather monkey, this kind of talk is used for jokes?" Sooner or later, my mother will be scared out of her illness by you. ”

Jiang Xinyao stepped forward and put her arm around Gu's arm, pulled her to sit down, and said with a coquettish smile: "Mother, don't be angry, although there is a tent outside the cabin, the heat is also strong, and my mother is covered in ice and jade skin, and it is not good to get sunburned." Today's mother's limelight is too strong, and it is too much, so it is better to accompany her daughter to drink tea. ”

Gu Shi had long been impatient to deal with everyone, and was thinking about how to get out, so he took the tea handed by Yinggui, took a sip gently, and sighed: "Don't take it as an example, although this excuse is fake, at first glance, I can't believe it, and my mother's heart is still beating hard at this time." ”

Jiang Xinyao smiled even deeper: "It's still my mother who loves me." The mother and daughter smiled, and everything was silent.

At noon, everyone returned to the cabin. The Shen family served the food prepared in advance for one person. Madame, the young lady tasted it elegantly.

Outside the cabin, a young girl held a pipa in her hand, playing and singing loudly to help the fun, charming eyes and anticipation, and infinite tenderness. Everyone listened while eating, the scenery on both sides of the strait was still good, and Wu Nong in the boat spoke softly, which was very interesting.

Just when everyone was complacent, there was a burst of men's hearty laughter in the distance behind them, and they saw another cruise ship docked on the shore of the Jiang Mansion rushing towards them, and all the men stood on the bow of the boat, all smiling at them.

Madam, the ladies blushed in panic, pulled down the bamboo curtains one after another, and hid in the cabin, causing the men to laugh loudly for a while.

Jiang Xinyao's face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she completely ignored the shy and smiling appearance of many young ladies in the boudoir, and ate by herself.

Man? It is not surprising that there is a virtue in any dynasty and in which generation.

I don't know which crazy scholar drank a few glasses of wine, and on a whim, chanted loudly: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano. Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, bells and drums. ”

The voice is gentle and magnetic, relaxed and moderate, fully expressing this guy's desire for beauty.

After the recitation, the two boats were silent. If this move is placed in the Wei and Jin dynasties, it will only be uninhibited and frank. If it is placed in today's ethics and morality, normative dogma, it will be a little more Meng Lang. Spread out, this boat wife, the reputation of the young lady is not good.

At this time, the expressions of the women on the ship were not shy, but angry and resentful.

But seeing Zhang Xinyue, the eldest grandmother of the Shen family, raised the bamboo curtain and replied loudly: "Make the king have his own wife, and Luo Fu has his own husband." More than 1,000 riders in the East, and the husband is on top. What is the use of knowing a husband? With that, he snorted and slammed down the bamboo curtain.

After a few seconds of silence on the river, it suddenly boiled, and the mad scholar's face was flushed, and he hid his face and returned to the cabin. The men burst into laughter and followed the boat, the laughter fading away.

The women in the cabin stepped forward one after another, surrounded Zhang's and praised him.

Jiang Xinyao saw Zhang's witty and clever sentence of refusing to make Jun ** in the Book of Poetry "Mo Shang Sang", and humorously replied to the crazy scholar's "Guan Sui", and told him bluntly, I am a wonderful woman, you can only watch from a distance and not play blasphemous, not a crumb like you can think wildly.

Jiang Xinyao lamented that Yan's daughter was extremely intelligent, and at the same time, she also extended infinite sympathy to the wild scholar.

You say you love it, you love it, which one in the picture, privately ask the maid to hand over a love letter, write a sour poem or something, maybe you can achieve a West-style story. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead in front of a boatload of wives, and the ladies shouted loudly, and he deserved to touch a nose of ashes.

How did Xin Yao know that this little episode made the Dragon Boat Festival cruise ship amazing, and it became a joke in the mouths of all women. When the girls recalled it later, their hearts throbbed inexplicably, and the voice of the mad scholar was still in their ears, and it never disappeared for a long time.

……

Jiang Xinyao and the others returned to the mansion, it was already sunset, and a few people went to Guiyuntang to greet the old lady, and told some interesting things about the cruise ship with a smile, and then went back to the room to rest.

Aunt Zhou fidgeted for a day, and when she heard that her daughter had returned home, she hurriedly ordered the maid to bring the lily lotus seed soup and go to her daughter's room.

Jiang Xinshan had just gone to her makeup, sat in front of the mirror in a daze, looked at the beautiful face of the woman in the mirror, recalled the situation on the cruise ship today, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be controlled, so she turned around and picked up the teacup and smashed it on the ground. Still unable to understand the hatred, he picked up the nearby beauty bottle and smashed it.

As soon as Aunt Zhou entered the yard, she heard two broken noises in her daughter's room, and she hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.

When Jiang Xinshan saw her biological mother, she threw herself into her arms, and couldn't help crying loudly, only to cry Aunt Zhou to the point that her liver and intestines were broken.

The crying gradually weakened, and the maid cleaned the third lady with water, and after the young lady washed, she gently closed the door and left the mother and daughter to talk.

Jiang Xinshan told Aunt Zhou about the grievances she suffered today, of course, she couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar, whitewash herself, and smear others. Jiang Xinyao and Shen Ying unfortunately fell into the crowd of smearers.

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she was furious. This is okay, the baby daughter is ignored outside, and some people are so bold that they throw hot tea at her, this Jiang Mansion girl doesn't say that she helps her own people, but smiles at outsiders, and she is really a group of snobs.
