Chapter 150: Falling into the Well (1)
Lu Shi felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, she blushed with a pink face, and stood under everyone's attention with great embarrassment, eager to open her eyes and sew her out of the ground, so she got into it.
It's a pity that God estimates his age, and his ears are not good, so he can't hear Lu's prayers at all.
What made Lu Shi even more embarrassed was that Li Jingniang's words had not yet been finished, only to see her pointing to a golden phoenix bead on her head and saying, "...... It is said that it was given to Mrs. Wang's maternal grandmother by Concubine Li back then, and her maternal grandmother left Mrs. Wang's mother as a dowry. ”
"Sister-in-law, are you mistaken? Hehe, this Golden Phoenix Step Shake is mine... Bestow, an elder. After being stunned for a long time, Lu Shi finally came back to her senses, and she retorted with a pale face, "Besides, this golden step shake style is not very unusual, it is found in many jewelry shops, how do you think this is Mrs. Wang's jewelry?" ”
The onlookers listened to Lu's words and nodded one after another, "Yes, yes, this kind of golden phoenix bead is very ordinary, my mother (or sister, or sister-in-law) has one, and there is no name engraved on it, who can tell at a glance what kind of jewelry Mrs. Wang is?" ”
Of course, there are still some people who watch the excitement and tend to believe Li Jingniang, and they all talk one after another: "Oh, who is Grandma Lu, will she slander her sister-in-law?" Since she said that this is Mrs. Wang's jewelry, there must be some truth to that."
For a while, all the male and female guests who came to participate in the plum banquet saw that there was a lot of excitement here, and they didn't care about appreciating the gods and horses, and they all quickly gathered around and listened to the conversation between Li Jingniang and the Lu family with their ears pricked up.
"Alas, third sister, you are right, it is indeed very common for the golden phoenix to shake the pearl, but your golden step is a pink pearl, this kind of pink pearl is different from ordinary pearls at first glance, but if you look carefully at the sun, you can still see that the pearl is not ordinary white, but a faint pink."
Li Jingniang shook her head, showing a trace of pity on her face, and said: "Moreover, if my sister is not mistaken, there is also a word 'Li' engraved on the handle of your step-shaker, which is the title of Concubine Li." Sister, listen to my sister's persuasion, hurry up and return this step shake to Mrs. Wang, because, the jewelry given by the emperor is one has the plan of the inner government, and the other is a limited grade. ”
"I ...... Sister, is this really a gift? ”
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi was a little frightened, and his face suddenly turned pale. She knew in her heart that although this step shake was given by the Zheng family, it was spread all over the Wang family, and the Zheng family occupied Wang Qifang, that is, Mrs. Wang in Li Jingniang's mouth, many dowries, and this golden step shake was most likely Wang Qifang's.
Oh my God, wearing someone else's jewelry is at most ridiculed, but fortunately, this other person is not an outsider, but her sister-in-law.
But if you wear the wrong jewelry, especially if you wear something from the emperor by mistake, if it is spread by someone with a heart, it is a great disrespectful sin. Even if she is merciful today, for the sake of the face of the head of the Lu family, she and her husband's reputation will be ruined.
Oh, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, where are you a meeting gift for your daughter-in-law, it is clearly a talisman for the two of us.
For the first time, Lu deeply resented her mother-in-law, Zheng.
Li Jingniang listened to Lu's question, did not answer, but nodded silently.
After listening to the conversation between the two people, everyone present also talked about it with different faces.
There was also a guest who had attended Lu's wedding a month ago, and when he saw Lu's earthy face, he almost blurted out: "Huh? This is not a welcome gift from Mrs. Wang to the third young grandmother? ”
"Yes, yes, when the third young master got married, I also participated in the wedding, that's right, this Jin Buyao was given to the third young grandmother by the eldest lady herself."
"Eh? Wait, isn't Mrs. Wang mentioned by Grandma Lu the eldest queen of the Wang family's house. ”
"Isn't it Wang Qiniang, I heard that she donated the cotton plantation given to her by her third uncle to the imperial court, and now she is in Longxin Dayue, so she was named a first-class lady."
Everyone was talking about it, and the topic was getting farther and farther, and somehow, someone actually said something about the past.
"Hey, have you heard, I remember that when Wang Qiniang got married, the Zheng family coveted a lot of dowries left by other people's biological mothers."
"Hey, I still need to hear, the evidence is in front of us, if the Zheng family does not have the dowry of the stepdaughter of the greedy ink, how can the jewelry rewarded by the concubine of the Li family be in the hands of the Zheng family?"
"Tut-tut, this Zheng family is really good at acting, on the surface he pretends to be virtuous and virtuous, but on the inside he is a belly of conspiracy and trickery, greedy for other people's jewelry, and put on a motherly appearance, ruining the reputation of the seventh lady of the family."
"Hey, when you say that, I really remember, when Qi Niang got married, some people said that she was a mother and a brother, and some people said that she was perverse, cold and arrogant, and disrespectful to her stepmother, hum, now that I think about it, I'm afraid these words were also said by the Zheng family."
I have to say that everyone's association is still very rich, and as soon as A appeared here, everyone thought of B, and even boldly added their own imagination and speculation to evolve C.
Hearing everyone's wonderful performances, Li Jingniang was very satisfied, and spoke in her heart, sister-in-law, things are developing in the direction you expected, and public opinion has begun to favor you
"You, you are talking nonsense" Wang Jiufang listened to everyone's whimsical associations, and immediately became angry, her face was flushed with anger, and she stammered: "I, my mother is not what you say, she, she is a good mother, and she is also very good to the seventh sister." ”
"Hehe, this is the Ninth Lady," Li Jingniang heard this, her eyes swept at Wang Jiufang, a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I didn't say that the eldest lady is not a good mother, I just reminded the third sister not to wear the wrong jewelry...... Wait, this tuanhua Jin Tian on your head looks so familiar, too? ”
Speaking of this, Li Jingniang frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Oops"
Wang Jiufang saw that Li Jingniang pointed the finger at herself again, and secretly said that it was not good, so she was busy subconsciously picking the Tuanhua Jindian with her hands.
"Ah, I remember, this colorful glass inlaid with the flower Jin Tian is also Mrs. Wang's jewelry, last month when her pair of dragon and phoenix tires caught Zhou, I also saw her wear it." Li Jingniang acted well, only to see her pointing to the group flower Jin Tian on Wang Jiufang's sideburns, and suddenly showed a sudden expression on her face, and then stroked her palms and said, "Yes, I remember, Mrs. Wang just returned to her parents' house at the end of last month, and Jiu Niangzi should have 'borrowed' it from Mrs. Wang." ”
This time, Li Jingniang did not say that Wang Jiufang wore the wrong jewelry, but looked like she was going down the stairs and found a good reason for her.
However, it seems that this reason is not very glamorous.
After listening to Li Jingniang's words, everyone looked at Wang Jiufang's face full of shame, and covered their mouths and snickered, "'Borrowing' jewelry? Hehe, could it be that the Qingyuan Wang family has really fallen? It's funny that the dignified daughter was reduced to the jewelry of the sister who borrowed and left, giggles, it's funny"
"You...... You guys...... Woo, mother~~"
After all, Wang Jiufang was a fifteen-year-old girl, and she was ridiculed so much in public that she couldn't get off the stage in shame, and ran out of Lu's house crying with a handkerchief.
As for the Lu family, he was very worried, for fear that wearing the wrong jewelry would bring some trouble to his father-in-law, so he hurriedly covered his head and hurriedly chased Wang Jiufang.
In the corner, Wang Yufang saw Wang Jiufang's aunt and sister-in-law leaving in a hurry, secretly relieved, hurriedly hid her wrist in her sleeve, and quietly took off the red gold bracelet when everyone didn't pay attention to her
Wang Yufang decided, she will return this bracelet to Wang Qifang after she goes back, woo, she didn't dare to think about this pair of bracelets anymore.
Fengqi Garden, the main house.
Zheng listened to the reply of his subordinates with a blue face, and when the people said that someone suspected Zheng of abusing his stepdaughter and deducting the dowry, he slapped the table with a 'bang', and his inch-long nails were broken together.
"I'll just say it, I always feel that there is something wrong with that dead slut, hmph, I obediently call my mother, and I kindly borrow Jiuniang jewelry...... So you're waiting for me here, and you want to avenge yourself? Or do you want to get your jewelry back? ”
When Zheng said this, she suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly called her personal grandmother Song Mama, and quietly ordered: "By the way, I am worried that something will happen to the workshop in Zhuangzi, so you can immediately upload my words, let the people in the workshop rest for a while, and then make plans after I get Wang Qifang, a slut, away." ”
"Yes, ma'am"
When Mama Song saw that Zheng's face was serious, she knew that the matter was very important, so she didn't say anything, and went to do something with a promise.
In the Wutong Garden on the other side of the palace, Xiao Zheng was leaning on the big kang near the window and thinking about something.
"Madam, the matter has been investigated clearly, the jewelry of the third young grandmother is indeed Qi Niang's, however, what is puzzling is that Qi Niang also has an identical jewelry in her hand, is it ......"
Xiao Zheng's companion stood by the kang and whispered back.
"Huh? I see, I have long suspected that Zheng is making trouble, and she did it. Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and after hearing the words of the mother-in-law accompanying the room, his eyes opened suddenly, and he suddenly changed the topic and said, "Well, the family affairs of the twelve mothers have been negotiated, and it is time to prepare the dowry, the old lady has long said that her treasures, every grandchild has a share, and our twelve mothers should also get two good things in the big warehouse."
