Chapter 192: The Eldest Lady's Anger
"Second sister, your performance in front of the national teacher today is not satisfactory, but the future is long, with the second sister's ability, are you still worried that you will not be admired by the national teacher?" Yan Jinxi suppressed the anger in her heart and said a few words to Yan Ningyan.
Yan Ningyan thought about Yan Jinxi's words for a while, she said a little reasonable, and her forehead was not lightly hit just now, so she didn't feel sorry for her anymore.
Yan Jinxi said that he walked towards Xilan Yuan with a green head, and only Yan Ningyan was sulking there.
After she returned to Xilan Garden, Yu'er and Xiaobai prepared dinner for the first time, and the dinner was very exquisite.
This body was as thin as skin and bones, and Yan Jinxi quickly finished eating.
Yu'er and Xiaobai stood beside her respectfully, without the frivolity of the past, and more in awe of her.
"Yu'er, is the queen going home soon?" Yan Jinxi thought of her "old friend", and the relationship with her in her previous life was really unforgettable.
What that person did was like a scorpion, stung deep in her heart.
Her body was humiliated a few days ago, not to mention knowing what was happening in the palace latestly, she, a powerless master, is no exaggeration to say that in this mansion before, the news was not as well-informed as a maid.
"The slave maid doesn't know very well, but I just heard from the other maids in the house that the emperor has recruited a few new concubines with good looks and prominent family backgrounds two days ago, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of our house for a while."
"Oh." She behaved calmly in front of these two maids, but she had already sneered several times in her heart.
Yan Ziran, you also have today, my Fu Yuyin's yesterday is your tomorrow.
At night, the setting sun on the horizon of the Chu Kingdom dyed the mountains in the distance a bloody red.
The little fox leaned obediently on her lap and shook her head from time to time.
In the early morning of the next day, just when I opened my eyes, I heard the panicked report of the maid Xiaobai:
"Madame...... Madame came. β
Madam? It seems that her "respectful" mother-in-law is here.
"I know, Yu'er, don't be so flustered in case of trouble." Yan Jinxi's eyes were cold.
At this time, Yan Jinxi got up and sat down, and a middle-aged woman in her thirties walked in outside the door, who was wearing heavy rouge gouache and staring at Yan Jinxi with a pair of Danfeng eyes.
Mrs. Yan was followed by eight maids, four first-class maids, four second-class maids, and the four second-class maids could only wait outside the door.
Among the women in the Yan Mansion, except for the old lady and Yan Ziran, she was the one with the biggest and most noble status in the battle.
Mrs. Yan's real name is Zhao Lanjun, and she is the daughter of Zhao Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Back then, Prime Minister Yan was fond of her, and she didn't marry, so he knelt in front of Mrs. Yan for an afternoon before he was able to agree.
After entering the mansion, the old lady gradually became old, and the housekeeping in the mansion was handed over to Zhao Lanjun.
Fu Yuyin's memory told her that this Prime Minister Yan's wife Zhao Lanjun only doted on the three children she had born, Yan Ziran, who was already the queen, the arrogant and domineering second lady Yan Ningyan, and her young son.
As for the children born to Prime Minister Yan's other wives, he was very cold and secretly did a lot of bad things. What is clever about this person is that she can always find a reasonable reason for doing things, and she has nothing to say.
Reliving a life, Fu Yuyin didn't know that this Zhao Lanjun was really one of her fierce rivals, if there was no her, it would be much easier to deal with Yan Ziran and Yan Ningyan.
"Mother." Yan Jinxi got up and saluted her, and the number of salutes must be missing, otherwise they will be caught.
"No courtesy." Mrs. Yan sat down after a simple answer, "Jinxi, the matter of tea, I won't take it as an example." β
It turned out that she had come to warn her. This woman is a little interesting, and she plays it really well.
"Mother, my second sister and I are sisters, and everything must be considered for her, so mother doesn't have to worry." Yan Jinxi replied softly, without the strength in front of Yan Ningyan.
Dealing with old rivers and lakes like Zhao Lanjun can only be soft and hard.
"Your mother was just a dancer, and after giving birth to you, she was driven back to her hometown in the countryside, and died a few months ago because she couldn't afford to treat her illness." When Mrs. Yan said this, the gloating was still obvious.
At this time, Fu Yuyin's body was shrouded in a huge sadness, and even a little unsteady on her feet, it seemed that the original owner and her biological mother had a deep relationship.
"Therefore, people should not have the luxury of things that cannot belong to themselves, even if they are reluctant to get it, they will get retribution in the end." Mrs. Yan spoke sharply, warning her once again, and she lost the kind eyes she had when she first came.
"Mother is right."
Seeing that Yan Jinxi was still well-behaved today, Mrs. Yan didn't say anything, she waved her hand, and walked in from outside the door a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, dressed as a maid.
"Jinxi, you only have Xiaobai and Yu'er talking about a maid in Xilanyuan, which is a little shabby." Mrs. Yan's face changed, "This girl is called Lan'er, she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she can be regarded as smart and clever, and this girl will serve you in the future." β
is a good Zhao Lanjun, and the reason why sending people to monitor can grow to such a high-sounding is really eye-opening for her.
"Thank you mother for your kindness." Yan Jinxi responded, she knew that this kind of thing could not be refused.
Mrs. Yan left satisfied, Yan Jinxi's performance made her heart feel quite shocked, when did she become so calm and calm.
After the group left, Yan Jinxi sat in front of the dresser, and a chill shrouded her world-class face.
Yu'er and Xiaobai didn't dare to approach at all.
"Yu'er, Xiaobai, you go down." Yan Jinxi's voice broke the silence of Xilan Garden.
After Yu'er and Xiaobai went out, the maid named Lan'er sent by Mrs. Yan fell to her knees with a "plop".
"Benefactor ......"
At this time, Fu Yuyin's body reacted, and it seemed that the original owner and her might be old friends.
What do you mean by that? When will I be gracious to you? β
"The fourth lady can remember the Shangyuan Festival in the capital of Chu two years ago, the slave and maid Xian were sold into the Qinglou, it was the young lady who spent money to save me, and some time ago because of her livelihood, she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion as a maid." Lan'er's words were very sincere, and her eyes were shining with tears.
The memories of the original owner's body told her that there was indeed such an incident two years ago.
"It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about it."
Yan Jinxi never expected that the maid that Mrs. Yan planted beside her turned out to be her old friend.
"Fourth Miss don't worry, the slave maid is willing to be sent by the young lady in the future, Madame, the slave and maid know what to say."
Yan Jinxi's handsome face spread a rare smile, and he stepped forward to help her up.
Ten days later, it was the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Yan family. From this day on, the Yan family began to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Luo, and naturally Zhao Lanjun, the wife of the Yan family, was in charge, and her daughter Yan Ningyan assisted from the side.
The Yan family has a noble status in the Chu State, and Prime Minister Yan is even lower than one person and above ten thousand.
At noon on this day, it was Lan'er who came to report.
"Fourth Miss, Second Miss asked you to go to the Smoke Pavilion to help."
"Oh? I'll go back to my nap and leave her alone. Yan Jinxi said and lay down, ignoring these trivial matters.
In the Ning Yan Pavilion, Yan Ning Yan didn't know what kind of temper he was throwing around, picked up a jade bowl and fell to the ground, and the bowl was smashed in an instant.
The maids all knew the temper of this Miss Yan Er, and they all trembled and didn't dare to speak.
"This Yan Jinxi is just a humble concubine, I asked her to help, and she actually shirked it." Yan Ningyan's face was full of anger.
"Miss, it's noon, why don't you take a nap too?" The maid Ling'er stepped forward and whispered, for fear of igniting the anger of the eldest lady.
"Well, you can wait for me to take a nap."
On this day, Yan Ningyan rarely let Yan Jinxi go, and ran to Xilan Yuan to ask for guilt without much fanfare.
Two hours later, Yan Jinxi came to the Ningyan Pavilion with three maids, and met Yan Ningyan sitting at the round table exuding sandalwood writing invitations.
"Yo, the fourth sister's shelf is really big, I, who is a sister, can't please move you." Seeing that Yan Jinxi was coming, he stopped writing, and the meaning of ridicule was self-evident.
Yan Jinxi: "The second sister laughed. β
Yan Ningyan pointed to the stack of invitations and said, "Today you finished writing the invitations of these guests on your grandmother's birthday." β
Yan Jinxi took a look, there were more than 100 copies of this invitation, and each one had to write hundreds of words, and she couldn't cut off her handwriting if she continued like this.
"The second sister has always been knowledgeable and courteous, and the handwriting is generous and good-looking, if the second sister comes to write an invitation, our Yan Mansion will have a light on its face."
Yan Jinxi praised Yan Ningyan and refused her errand under the pretext of refusing her.
Who knew that with her boast, Yan Ningyan's tail almost went to the sky, and she raised her head proudly.
"Fourth sister, you're right, if the two of us write an invitation together, there are two fonts, isn't it an opinion?"
Yan Jinxi: "......"
This Yan Ningyan's face is really not ordinary thick.
Yan Jinxi did not continue to refuse, and began to pick up the pen and write freely.
She was writing, and this Yan Ningyan came over:
"Fourth sister, do you know what this word reads?"
At this time, Yan Ningyan's ink-soaked pen was about to be smeared on Yan Jinxi's body, Yan Jinxi dodged, Yan Ningyan did not react, and then the ink was flawlessly painted on Yan Ningyan's newly made pink-green pomegranate skirt.
Yan Ningyan's face turned purple, and she shouted at the top of her voice, without the appearance of a lady:
"Yan Jinxi, you are excessive, do you know how much this dress costs? a hundred taels of silver. β
"My sister came to me."
Yan Jinxi just said this sentence, which made Yan Ningyan speechless for a while.
"Second Miss, the slave maid is waiting for you to go into the inner room to change your clothes." Yan Ningyan's maid Ling'er is quite clever.
Yan Ningyan snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.
Fu Yuyin secretly sneered in her heart, at this time, after many days, this Yan Ningyan was still so naΓ―ve.
After Yan Ningyan finished changing her dress, she glanced at Ling'er and commanded:
"The status of the national teacher is transcendent, this invitation should be sent to him first, I have already written it, Ling'er, you can go for a trip."
β¦β¦
This national teacher is also on the invitation list, which Yan Jinxi has long thought of.
Just had a dress ruined by ink, Yan Ningyan was a little calmer, and she didn't continue to be embarrassed.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Ling'er came back from the National Teacher's Mansion panting, still holding the invitation she had brought with her when she went.
"Second Miss, the slave is incompetent and failed to send the invitation." Ling'er fell to her knees in panic.
"What? What do adults say? β
"Your Excellency...... The adults said that he was a dignified national teacher, and if he was invited by a maid, wouldn't it be an insult to him? Ling'er relayed the original words.
