Chapter 154: Detective (1)

、、、、、、、、、、 Slow cooking, pig's feet beauty cream was not made until the second half of the night. Early the next morning, as soon as she got up, Shu'er happily took a porcelain vase the size of a baby's fist and showed it to her: "Mother, look, it's done." Try it, and give it to the slaves and maids. ”

The milky white balm in the fine porcelain bottle looked and smelled good, Peony glanced at it, and said with a smile: "You are fourteen or fifteen years old, you are like flowers and bones, your skin is very delicate, what are you anxious about?" ”

Because it was cold and stayed in the room, he heard the peony say the word "flower", so he remembered the rain lotus, and shouted vigorously on the side: "Dead lotus, dead lotus." ”

Peony was so noisy that her brain hurt, and she grabbed a pine nut from the silver plate and threw it over: "Early in the morning, shut up!" ”

Shake caught it dexterously, ate it in one bite, and shouted excitedly: "Peony, peony, peony is so cute!" ”

"It's noisy." Kuan'er hurriedly changed it with water and food: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

Shu'er Shui waited for the peony to wash: "According to your orders, the people who kept the ointment last night were rewarded, and the people in each room were also sent over according to the head." There are sixteen bottles left, all here. ”

Peony looked sideways, and saw sixteen white porcelain bottles the size of a baby's fist on the table, the mouths of which were covered with colorful silk, which looked like medicine rather than skin care. I picked some silver hairpins and rubbed them on the back of my hand, and it was really moisturizing and smelled good. Then he ordered: "Give Mother Lin and Aunt Feng a bottle each." The rest will give two bottles to Mrs. Bai, Li Manniang, and Mrs. Dou each. If you want, just one bottle per person, and Ah Tao will also give her a bottle. I heard from Mrs. that it is good to cure chapped hands and feet in winter. ”

Shu'er pretended to push: "But it's all given to us, and you only have four bottles left." ”

Peony pouted: "If you don't want it, leave yours to me." ”

Shu'er laughed dryly, and said quickly: "The slave will go to find a box for you, and find paper and ink to write." ”

Peony smiled and took a sip: "Duplicity is a bad thing!" ”

She had just started here, and she took it over: "Bad thing! ”

"You bad bird!" Shu'er rolled her eyes in anger and made a neck shake.

Shake suddenly became embarrassed and fluttered, but was pulled back by the chain, so he had to stand on the shelf angrily and erect his feathers to demonstrate: "Bad thing! Bad! ”

Shu'er smugly made a few strange moves at it before she went to fetch it contentedly.

Peony packed the things and wrote a post, but before the box was sealed, Guiyan, the maid beside Mrs. Cen in front, came in with a smile and saluted: "There is a guest coming, Mrs. invites her mother out." ”

Peony hurriedly got up and cleaned his hands: "It's early in the morning, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, who is in such an early?" ”

Gui Yan smiled: "The slave doesn't know." I only saw that I was dressed well, and the people were beautiful and kind. Even the sisters who followed around her, also wearing silk and satin, wearing gold and silver, all of them were very beautiful, and brought many gifts, saying that they were here to apologize to you. ”

Peony immediately guessed who it was, she thought that Jiang Changzhong was sent to the army, and the Zhu Guogong Mansion was calculated by Jiang Changyang that something like that had just happened, and that person would not have the time and mood to come, so he thought that he would still come to the door, and it was so fast.

Gui Yan saw that Peony frowned and didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Mother doesn't know who it is?" ”

Peony looked at her hair and clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and answered the question: "How many people did she bring?" ”

Gui Yan counted with his fingers and said, "It's not much, it's estimated that it's about twenty." Four maids, two mothers-in-law, eight guards, and eight husbands. The porter was stuffed. ”

Shu'er straightened the hairpin for the peony, and scraped her hair with a grate dipped in water, and said angrily: "It's not much?" You're here to fight tigers, right? Who the hell is this? apologize for making such a big show. ”

Peony said: "It's not about fighting tigers, it's about raising leopards." ”

Shu'er immediately shut up when she heard this, and turned to look at Peony worriedly, she was not as close as Yuhe and Peony, Peony didn't tell her many things, but during this time, Yuhe's focus was on Fangyuan, and she had been following Peony, and many things could not be unaware. What does it mean that Duchess Zhu Guo came to find peonies in such a big battle? Will it be bad for peonies?

Peony looked in the mirror to confirm that she was in good shape, and her clothes and accessories were also decent, so she turned around and said, "Let's go." As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Shu'er's worried eyes, he hurriedly pressed her shoulder and shook his head gently. Judging from Jiang Ergong's performance last time, Mrs. Du will not do anything to her, at most she will try, she just needs to deal with it properly.

When the master and servant arrived in front, they saw two mothers-in-law wearing azure silk skirts standing at the door of the middle hall, looking at their noses and noses, and standing straight and meticulous. Even the peony passed in front of them, and they didn't raise their eyelids. Peony glanced at the two of them and stepped into the middle hall with a smile on her face.

When I entered the middle hall, I saw a, and I saw a poor beauty sitting on it dignified and generous, looking at herself with a smile and affection. Behind her, there were four big beauties wearing water-red skirts, combing their hair, like flowers and jade, all of them with eyes and noses, noses and hearts, solemn, like dragon daughters in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Mrs. Cen sat on the side and said with a smile: "Danniang, why don't you come over and salute Mrs. ”

Peony took a few steps forward and blessed: "Madame is well." Before the words fell, he was stabilized by a pair of warm and warm soft wattles, and a faint cold plum fragrance immediately came from the end of his nose.

Mrs. Du smiled: "You're welcome, I was supposed to apologize for my unsuccessful dog, why did you ask you to salute me?" "The voice sounded gentle and cheerful, very pleasant.

Peony raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Du and smiled slightly: "You are a guest, elderly, and noble." You should have been given a salute. The Madame Du in front of her was born with skin like jade, with a flowery appearance, and her dark and shiny hair was combed into a one-foot-high bun, and there were nine tree hairpins, which were exquisitely made, made of pure gold, knotted with knots, with majestic leaves, and pairs of small birds inlaid or carved with precious stones. With Mrs. Du's actions, it seemed to be about to fly, lively and lively. Coupled with her silver-red brocade robe, goose yellow eight-panel flower skirt, the whole person looks noble and beautiful, but it is amiable to watch.

Mrs. Du is also looking at the peony, the peony is wearing a red brocade white rabbit fur-edged short undergarment, with eight Luo skirts of the same color, there is nothing fancy, only a palm-wide blue skirt around the waist, and a pair of crystal clear jasper peony flower pressure skirts are tied on the skirt, and the long blue silk silk hangs down to the ankles. Although the bun is simply combed, the hair is thick and shiny, black and blue, and the only hair ornament is a pair of double-strand golden hairpins, and the hairpin head is accompanied by two peonies made of rubies. The gem is good, and between actions, there seems to be a flash of fire. But it is this simple clothing that completely sets off the bright and beautiful peony.

Mrs. Du was a little distracted for a while, as if she saw another face through the peony, back then, that person was also as bright as the morning glow, and she could wear a unique feeling with a simple single outfit, no matter where she stood, people could only see her...... Now, she must be waiting to see her jokes, her son has become a talent, and she gently made the Zhu Guogong Mansion jump and lose face, but her son has become a dou who can't be helped...... The most hateful thing is Jiang Chong's state. Mrs. Du's heart tingled, a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but clench Peony's hand.

Peony smiled lightly: "Madam? ”

Mrs. Du suddenly came back to her senses, withdrew her hand, and smiled kindly: "Oh, when I saw you beautiful little girls, I realized that I was old." She glanced at Peony with a smile, "More than ten years have passed in a snap of a finger." ”

"That's because Madame's day is better, so I feel happy." Peony politely invited her to sit down, turned around and walked behind Mrs. Cen to stand still, looked at Mrs. Cen affectionately and said with a smile: "My mother often tells our brothers and sisters that decades of time have passed with their eyes closed. It's very fast. ”

His speech and demeanor are calm and generous, and he has no stage fright. Mrs. Du couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or satisfied with Peony's attitude and behavior. She hoped that Peony could really have a relationship with Jiang Changyang as Jiang Changzhong guessed, and then fascinated Jiang Changyang so much that she would not marry, thus cutting off Jiang Changyang's marriage with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and adding help; At the same time, I regret how the peony was born like this, there is still money in it, Jiang Changyang should have an ugly, annoying, statusless, poor and uninformed wife.

She smiled bitterly to herself, and knew that it was impossible, even if the Wang family left Jiang Changyang in the mansion and let her do it single-handedly, the wife she came forward to marry Jiang Changyang could not be like this, at least it was an embroidered pillow. Compared with embroidered pillows, the daughter of a person with a low status is better, and what needs to be figured out at present is what the relationship between the two is, and then it is easy to handle.

When Mrs. Du thought of this, she smiled and said, "Danniang, my unsuccessful son is ignorant and has done such a hateful thing. He should have come to the door to apologize to you, but he had already been sent to the barracks by his father as a warning. Therefore, I have to pay for this gift. I can't teach him, I hope you will think about him for the sake of his youth and ignorance. After speaking, a rosewood box was placed in front of Mrs. Cen: "This is an old mountain ginseng, give you a crush." ”

"I can't accept such a valuable gift!" Peony's eyes widened in some panic, and a worried look appeared on his face: "Was it because I was scared by chasing the wind that the second prince was sent to the barracks?" I told everyone at the time that it was a misunderstanding, it was my fault, and it had nothing to do with the second father. How could it still be like this? ”

Mrs. Du showed a sad look at this time, sighed softly, and stopped talking, looking at the image of a loving mother who was frightened for her son, which made people's hearts soften.

Peony said uneasily: "Madame must be very sad, right?" She was silent for a moment, and said cautiously in a consultative tone, "Or, let my brother ride a horse to chase the grandfather of the country, which shows that it really has nothing to do with the second father, do you think it is good?" ”
