Chapter 36: Chrysanthemum Feast (2)
Everyone in the chrysanthemum garden was in full swing, but in the upper room, Mrs. Xiao was leaning on the Luohan bed leisurely.
Mu Xiang stood in front of her, describing everything that happened in the Chrysanthemum Garden.
"And then, what did Mrs. He say?" When the fifth lady heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the smile, but because of the presence of her mother-in-law, it was too unfunny.
Mu Xiang raised her hand and pressed the corner of her lips, and it was easy to hold it back, before she said: "What Miss He said is, 'Since you are provincial, you are still pretending to be confused, and the next time I see you in the way of Miss Ben, you are still quibbling, I will ask my uncle to take away those shabby shops in your house'!" β
Mu Xiang learned the tone and demeanor of Miss He, and the fifth lady couldn't hold back after all, and lay down in Su Yun's arms with a smile.
"This girl is really stupid," the fifth old lady stroked her forehead and smiled: "Fifty steps and a hundred steps, really when others don't know, where are they from a merchant to have today?" β
Indeed, more than ten years ago, the brothers He Youde and He Youren were originally just two small merchants in Lanling, opening their doors to welcome customers rain or shine, but later they didn't know what windfall they made, and it was like climbing to the sky step by step.
He Youde even relied on his wishful thinking to achieve the position of Zhizhou, the second-in-command of Dongchang Mansion, from an unknown businessman.
- Everyone naturally knows about this, but Miss He never knew about it, but she thought she was like a fish in water in the circle of nobles from many families in Lanling.
In fact, it's just that people don't want to deal with her.
After all, although people are nouveau riche, they can't hold back a lot of money! With money, will there be less power?
Mrs. Xiao lazily stroked the broken hair in her ears, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Fifth aunt needs to know, stupid people are also stupid blessings." β
As he spoke, he withdrew Mu Xiang and asked her to continue staring.
After all, the fifth old lady is an old fritter, and while sneering, she thinks more than others.
This Mrs. Xiao asked Miss Qin to meet the guests in the garden alone, but her own housewife couldn't go out, she only found a girl to stare at, she shouldn't think about it!
"Isn't A-Yingmo meaningful?" She asked tentatively.
Mrs. Xiao snorted, "I want you to see the joke, I'll go over and talk about it later-hey, where did you talk about it just now, how did the fifth brother and sister and the third aunt feel after taking the medicine prescribed by Miaoyan?" β
The autumn is high and cool, and it is when you pinch your neck and don't keep your face up, and the farce in the chrysanthemum garden continues.
Miss He's belly words came out, and she also heard the people around her laughing at the little hoof in front of her, thinking that she should be satisfied, but she was inexplicably a little depressed in her heart - the little hoof was not angry no matter how sarcastic she was!
Is this anything to blame?
While she was agonizing over how to fix her, a woman's shrill laughter suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be a big niece! What are you saying about it, to make your uncleβ"
I saw a woman walking towards them with her sleeves rolled up and smiling all over her face.
Dressed in a long dress with stone blue 10,000 words and cloud makeup, triangular eyes, high cheekbones and white skin, thin and tall, at first glance, he is not a master to be messed with.
Seeing her aunt looking for her like this, Miss He was busy ignorant and friendly to call, I didn't know and thought she was pretending, after all, Second Mrs. He's wrong tone was heard by everyone.
"Auntie!" Seeing that it seemed that she was coming to support her, Miss He immediately pouted and stomped her feet, pointed at Qin Miaoyan and said, "Auntie, she bullied me!" β
Second Mrs. He's triangular eyes swept around the faces of the lively women, and everyone immediately stopped talking, turning their heads to do what they should do, it was completely seamless, as if they were not there at all.
What are you kidding, Mrs. Xiao, the master of the family, didn't come out, what kind of radish did they eat salty?
But I heard Second Mrs. He clear her throat and sighed: "Hey, how can this be...... It's not okay to compensate everyone, my niece is young, she is not sensible, and she bothers everyone to appreciate the chrysanthemum, everyone continue, continue! β
Don't look at the girls out of sight, their ears are up, hearing what Mrs. He said, a few embarrassed people had to turn their heads and laugh awkwardly.
Miss He was dumbfounded-why did my aunt ask her to admit her mistake?!
"Auntie, no, it's her, she hit me! I, I'm ......," Miss He said hurriedly.
Second Mrs. He reprimanded her with a calm face: "What are you doing this girl, haven't you seen who this girl is?" That's the distinguished guest invited by the eldest lady to recuperate, is it the merchant girl in your mouth? It's really not big or small, and it's getting more and more rude......"
With such a scolding of her head and face, Miss Rao is big girl He couldn't help being thin-skinned, she cried at the moment, covered her face and ran away.
Only then did the onlookers react.
It turned out that the girl around Shicai and Mrs. Xiao was talking and laughing, and was scolded by Miss He as a merchant girl, and it turned out to be the goddess doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall that I heard about a few days ago!
It's a pity that they just finished watching the excitement of the people, and they were embarrassed to come to the front at this time, so they had to sit in place in a daze.
Second Mrs. He was happy and comfortable, and she tacitly exchanged a few words of greeting with a few ladies who were familiar with each other on weekdays, and then walked to Qin Miaoyan's side with a handkerchief.
"Miss Qin?" She smiled with just the right amount of guilt, "Shicai is really sorry." β
It's okay, she doesn't know that everyone is so familiar with her on weekdays, and she knows where she is coming from and where she is going.
Second Mrs. He laughed. Qin Miaoyan stood up and saluted in a proper manner, and her smile was very bowing.
Only then did Second Madam He have the time to carefully look at the Qin girl in front of her.
I saw that she was born extremely dignified and demure, with distant mountain eyebrows and goose egg face, restrained phoenix eyes, and a small mole on her left cheek added some different style to her, and she was a rare beauty.
She is polite in her speech and demeanor, not like a merchant girl.
That's a ...... Second Lady He's eyes rolled and swept over the jade leaf golden cicada hairpin between Qin Miaoyan's temples.
"I heard that Miss Qin is from Qingping?" Second Mrs. He thought in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she smiled like an overlord flower: "I heard that it is connected to Qingzhou and Jinan, and it is the most beautiful woman in that area, and I saw Miss Qin today, so it can be seen that it is not bluffing." β
"Madame, this is a fallacious compliment," Qin Miaoyan lowered her head, looking invincible, "Born in a small family, where can she be considered a beauty?" β
Second Mrs. He immediately waved her hand and talked about her face, looking like she had a lot of experience with beauties, as if Qin Miaoyan's nose and mouth were all born and raised by her.
Suddenly there was a faint cry from Miss He at the door.
Everyone looked towards the Moon Cave Gate.
"Something that is in sight!" Mrs. He scolded in a low voice, and pulled the red-eyed Miss He in.
