Chapter 068: Su's Attack (1)

Yes, here we go again

Mrs. Zhao glanced at the people in the courtyard, and a strong sense of powerlessness rose in her heart. She can even foresee that without waiting for tomorrow, their Zhao family will become the talking point and laughing stock of the capital again.

"Ho, the eldest sister is here too?"

The ninth princess looked like she was about thirty years old, wearing a bearded robe, pointy boots on her feet, and carrying a horsewhip in her hand. She glanced at everyone present with great interest, and a meaningful smile curled into the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe, I heard that the Bodhi tree in Mrs. Zhao's yard has bloomed, and she has come to touch the aura of the Buddha, but it just so happens that Jingwei, this girl, also wants to see the first Buddha tree in the capital, so she clamored to come with me," The eldest princess was also stunned after seeing the ninth princess, she really couldn't think of how the ninth sister, who had always been a maverick, could be involved with the Zhao family. However, she was puzzled in her heart, but her face did not show the slightest, she affectionately took her half-sister's hand, and said with a light smile: "How can I think that the house is busy, and even Mrs. Li, the wife of Li Shilang, is here." ”

"Where, where, the eldest princess is too polite, you are all concubines who couldn't be invited in the past, and now you are here in the cold house, it is really an honor for the concubine."

Mrs. Zhao listened to the eldest princess's words, and secretly rolled her eyes disapplausively. Looking at the Bodhi Tree? Hey, who believes this excuse

On the third day after getting the Bodhi tree from her daughter-in-law, she sent a post to the ladies in the capital, inviting them to come to 'enjoy the tree', and the wives, whether they are sincere to the Buddha or do face projects, there are not a few people who claim to believe in Buddhism, and when they heard that there was a Bodhi tree in the inner courtyard of the Zhao family, they were also very curious, and after receiving the invitation, they all said that they would come to enjoy the tree in the future.

Sure enough, after the appointed day, all the princesses and wives who received the invitation came, including the eldest princess.

Now that it has only been a few months, her eldest princess is no matter how rare the Bodhi Zi Tree, as a person from the palace, she has her own pride and reserve, and it is impossible for her to let outsiders know her preferences so wantonly.

Well, if it's not for the Bodhi tree, then for what?

When Mrs. Zhao's puzzled gaze swept over Princess Jingwei, who was talking and laughing with Zhao Yanniang, she paused, wait, Princess Jingwei? Suddenly, a rumor circulating in Beijing in recent days flashed into Mrs. Zhao's mind, "...... Princess Jingwei met a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam during the Double Ninth Festival, and admired the talent and appearance of the scholar very much, and once asked for a marriage today...... Now that he had taken the exam, he was very satisfied with the scholar's talents, and he made an order on the spot, that if the scholar won the championship in the spring of the next year, he would personally marry the princess and the scholar......"

In addition, the most important point is that the scholar that Princess Jingwei has taken a fancy to, his surname is Su

"Hehe, Mrs. Zhao is polite, as long as you don't think we are uninvited guests."

The ninth princess said insincere words to Mrs. Zhao, but smiled shallowly, nodded at the eldest lady, said hello, and then grabbed the eldest princess's hand with her backhand, and the two of them walked into the main hall of the peony garden.

And Princess Jingwei followed with Zhao Yanniang affectionately and laughing, ignoring the eldest lady on the side at all.

"A nouveau riche is a nouveau riche, even if he wears a dragon robe, he doesn't look like a prince"

For Princess Jingwei's ignorance, the eldest lady was not very angry. She was born in a wealthy family, and she joined the clan, and her vision is not ordinarily high, at least Princess Xibei, who relies on her sister's title like Princess Jingwei, can't get into her eyes.

“…… Big lady, please."

The three princesses in front of her obviously came to see the jokes, and she, who was destined to be ridiculed, not only could not drive these uninvited guests away, but also waited carefully with a smiling face. Alas, sighing helplessly, Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly and made a gesture to the eldest lady to please, and negotiated something with her eyes.

As for the eldest lady, she didn't seem to receive Mrs. Zhao's gaze at all, and after bowing her head slightly, she entered the hall with her head up.

As for Zhao Tianqing, the people in the house are either more expensive than him, or they are higher in rank than him, and they are all women, so it is really difficult for him to be a big man to get involved. I wanted to leave, but I didn't get permission, so I had to stand at the door with my hands tied, my head down.

After the guests were seated, Yinqiao took a few little girls to serve refreshments, and Princess Jingwei saw that everyone was drinking tea silently, so she quietly stabbed the eldest princess on her side.

"Mrs. Zhao, when I entered the door just now, I heard you say that a miscarriage is not a miscarriage, is there something big happening in the house?"

The eldest princess was brought in by Princess Jingwei to help the Su family strengthen her courage, so she naturally understood the deep meaning of her small action. Taking two sips of tea, she put down the teacup and said with concern: "We are here to hang out, and the Bodhi tree will not fly away. ”

"No, it's nothing important, it's just that the subordinates in the family don't follow the rules, and the concubine has disciplined her."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she chuckled in her heart, and the bitterness on her face became more and more intense—alas, these princesses are really not polite, and they came up and asked the point.

"Mrs. Zhao, I was about to say it just now," the eldest lady saw that Mrs. Zhao still pressed the mistake on Amethyst and even Wang Qifang, and immediately said with some displeasure: "Amethyst is the account office hired by your daughter-in-law Wang Qiniang, although Qiniang is not in the house at the moment, but if Amethyst makes any mistakes, it should also be punished." However, why does Amethyst herself not know why she was beaten? ”

"Oh, eldest lady, didn't I say it just now," Seeing the helper, Zhao Yanniang's face was full of pride, she glanced at the eldest lady with disdain, and said: "Amethyst was not instructed by anyone to dare to put safflower in Aunt Su's bird's nest porridge, causing Aunt Su to have a miscarriage, and a good son died like this You are the young lady of the clan, I don't know how to deal with such a slave in the house?" ”

Wang Qifang may not know why Zhao Yanniang hates herself so much, but Mrs. Li, as a witness to the farce of the year, naturally knows. In fact, Zhao Yanniang didn't look at Wang Qifang alone, but looked at all the women surnamed Wang who were unpleasant. The reason is very simple, the reason why Zhao Yanniang lived in her mother's house was entirely because she had a grudge with a woman surnamed Wang, and then lost her husband and was finally rejected by her in-laws.

In the early years, the eldest lady was quite sympathetic to Zhao Yanniang's experience, but the recent confrontation made the eldest lady realize that 'poor people must have something to hate', and Zhao Yanniang is the most typical manifestation of this sentence.

Today, I heard her say a word against Qi Niang, and the eldest lady simply poked her sore feet, and Mrs. Zhou shouted:

"Oh, I guess Mrs. Zhou heard the few questions I asked just now. I don't know, can Mrs. Zhou help me answer one or two of these questions? ”

"Hey, what's so hard about that? There are human and physical evidence in the courtyard, and the eldest lady knows if we have wronged Amethyst as soon as she asks."

It is estimated that everyone understands that the three princesses are here to watch the excitement and see the jokes, so they didn't bother Baal to hide anything, what kind of debate was just now, and now continue

"Where are the human and material evidence? Okay, then please ask Mrs. Zhou to invite them."

Every time the eldest lady came to the Zhao family, she was disappointed in the family once. Especially today, after seeing the performances of Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Tianqing and Zhao Yanniang, she began to slowly agree with Wang Qifang's words in her heart - the Zhao family is a nest of right and wrong, and it is better to leave early

"Yes, yes, since there are objections, it is better to confront them face to face"

The ninth princess came to Zhao Mansion to make soy sauce, and the more chaotic Zhao Mansion was, the more jokes she saw. Now look at the Zhao and Li families, their faces are full of excitement. I laughed even more in my heart, hehe, the third sister is right, this Zhao family, there are so many jokes

“…… Yes"

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao really regretted it, why did she worry about Aunt Su's tens of thousands of taels of silver, and let Erlang mess around? Now it's okay, the silver hasn't arrived yet, and the Zhao family is going to make a fool of himself again. If this matter reaches the ears of the master, the consequences will ......

After a short while, Amethyst, Zhao Erlang's family, and several cooks were all brought to the main hall, and of course, the bag of safflower as physical evidence.

"You're the cook in the kitchen? Happened to be in the kitchen at noon today? ”

The eldest lady took the lead in asking the fat cook with the saffron.

"Go back, go back to my in-laws' wife, the old slave is indeed in the kitchen, and he works in the kitchen all day today"

The fat cook kowtowed, and then said respectfully.

"Then have you ever seen Amethyst put medicine in Aunt Wangsu's saucepot?"

"Yes, oh, no," the fat cook nodded, and then shook her head as if she remembered something, "The old slave just saw the Amethyst girl standing next to Aunt Su's stew pot, and lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, and then added something to the pot, as for whether it was red flowers, the old slave didn't see clearly"

Whew, it's so dangerous, Mrs. Li's words are clearly a cheat, if she dares to say that she saw it with her own eyes, Mrs. Li will definitely scold her, since she saw someone adding saffron to the master's soup pot, why didn't she stop it and report it?

However, after the Amethyst girl left, the old slave found this bag of things from the flower bed outside the kitchen window, and when he opened it, he realized that it was red flowers. At first, the old slave didn't expect that the amethyst girl would use safflower to harm people, until at noon, when he heard the noise of the people outside, saying that Aunt Su had a miscarriage, and the old slave suddenly thought, maybe, maybe...... In addition, just a quarter of an hour before my wife came to the peony garden, Zhao Erlang's family also ran to the kitchen to search for things, presumably to help Amethyst destroy the evidence."

As she spoke, the fat cook's fat fingers were raised, pointing to Zhao Erlang's house on the side, and asked triumphantly: "Zhao Erlang's family, let me ask you, were you searching for something in the kitchen just now?" Do you dare to swear by your son's life? Kindness? ”

"I, I ......" swore by his son's life, and a touch of fear flashed in the hearts of Zhao Erlang's family. She is not afraid of suffering and being beaten by herself, but her son is her lifeline, how can she be willing to swear by her son's life?

P: After this battle, Qi Niang will usher in her beautiful era, please continue to pay attention
