Chapter 22 Telling Right and Wrong
"She actually lived in the Excerpt Xuan?" Yao Xue, who took a sip of tea, suddenly became angry.
"The subordinates of Jingfu are really low-eyed, and they use such shoddy things to send me away." Yao Xue slammed the cup.
Qiu Tao was excited, knowing that she was venting her dissatisfaction with Nan Mo to the obsolescence of the tea, and immediately said to Yao Xue: "Miss, according to the slave maid, it must be the means of the cheap hoof." ”
Yao Xue was suddenly uneasy, and with all the strength in her hands, she grabbed the soft silk satin spread on the round table, and the tassels hanging down the satin were also pulled down by her.
It's just a lowly girl, Brother Huai actually values her so much?
Qiu Tao straightened the tea cup on the table, looked at Yao Xue, who was still angry, and then persuaded: "Then Nan Mo is just a slave, how can she compete with Miss?"
Qiu Tao took the embroidery basket from the low stool and brought it to Yao Xue, "Miss, look at it, how delicate this embroidery is, how many people can compare to the ladies in Hucheng?" That girl is vulgar, how can she be able to compete with the ingenuity of the young lady? ”
Yao Xue was already angry, and when she heard Qiu Tao say so many words, she was not in tune, and she was even more depressed.
"What's the use of that? Now it is the girl who lives in the excerpt Xuan. She talked about her friendship with Jing Mi, and Master Jing kept her for a long time, wanting to seize this opportunity, but in the end, a slave maid took the lead.
Qiu Tao saw that she still didn't understand, so she made her words clearer again, "The reason why that girl was able to enter the Excerpt Xuan is not necessarily because the eldest young master agrees." Su Xin's little boy, we also inquired before coming to Jing's house, the child's temperament, and the person was rescued by him, how can the eldest young master care so much with a child? ”
"Are you saying that this is not what Brother Huai wants at all?" Yao Xue looked suspicious.
"Naturally, when Nan Mo's girl passed, I heard that she was still in a coma, but she used that trick to get to the bottom of Zixuan." A weak woman can always arouse a man's pity, and the eldest young master is no exception.
"Didn't Miss embroider a forged flower purse a few days ago? The hibiscus is chic, and it is the most important thing for the young lady. It's better to take advantage of the New Year to send it to Jie Zixuan, but it is also appropriate. ”
Qiu Tao knew that Yao Xue was worried about the rumors of Jingfu, not only to avoid being gossiped, but also to let the eldest young master know Miss's intentions, so she could only come out of the ordinary to everyone.
Yao Xue calmed down at this time, secretly annoyed that she couldn't hold her breath, and she was not as calm as Qiu Tao.
Yao Xue nodded, "There are many embroidery patterns in this way, others will only be courteous and affectionate, Qiu Tao, you picked a good one and let people send it to the aunts and ladies of each garden, as well as the old lady, as for the hibiscus purse, I will personally send it to Zhezixuan, so it is not easy for others to gossip." ”
After Qiu Tao explained this matter to the rough girls, she chose suitable clothes for Yao Xue.
Looking at the young girl with a flying fairy bun in the bronze mirror, the orchid hairpin flower was elegantly lined with skin like snow, Chu Chu was pitiful, Yao Xue nodded with satisfaction.
I put the delicate and delicate purse with embroidered stitches in the cuffs, and stroked it a few times through the fabric, and then I was relieved.
The master and servant came to the excerpt of the North Garden, Qiu Tao volunteered to knock on the door, and when the seventh or eighth sound, the door suddenly opened.
Qiu Tao didn't stand firm, and almost planted in, and the man with a thin face inside took a half step back.
Er Sheng looked at Yao Xue behind Qiu Tao, his eyes slightly downcast.
Qiu Tao gritted his teeth and stood upright, he didn't expect that this subordinate of Zhezixuan was so unsympathetic, if he hadn't stabilized his body in time just now, he didn't plan to help himself at all.
Yao Xue took two steps forward, she didn't care about being a girl, but said in a gentle voice: "Please also inform Brother Huai, just say that Xue'er came to visit." ”
Ersheng pulled back the half-door that he had just pushed open, and the gap in his palm, "I don't see the guest." ”
Yao Xue was in a hurry, she didn't expect that a subordinate would dare to go against her, she held the door with one hand, and she was about to break in.
"Miss Yao, please respect yourself." Different from the expressionless face in the past, Ersheng at this moment, a trace of coldness appeared on his face. It was as if an invisible blade pierced her heart.
Yao Xue's back was cold, she took a step back, she suddenly had a strange feeling, the servants around Brother Huai seemed to be a little different from the feeling at the New Year's banquet.
Yao Xue didn't plan to challenge Ersheng's patience, and she didn't want to make Brother Huai dissatisfied with her because of this.
So she groaned and took out a forged hibiscus purse from her cuffs, "Brother Huai doesn't like to be bothered, Miss Ben knows it, you give him this, and I have the right to do it." ”
Yao Xue thought that she had put down her body, but who knew that this Ersheng was the master of oil and salt.
She was able to tremble a pair of jade hands in the cold wind, but Na Ersheng turned a deaf ear, and did not have the slightest idea of pity for the jade, but closed the door immediately.
Yao Xue, who was turned away, stomped her foot fiercely and left with Qiu Tao.
She was not allowed to enter the Excerpt Xuan, but taught a girl with a humble status to go in, did the Jing Mansion take her as a young lady in his eyes?
Who in this house can make decisions for themselves? Yao Xue was resentful in her heart.
That Fang clan can't wait for the eldest young master to be obsessed with women, where will he care about these things that are messing with girls, and there must be an element of happiness to see it happen. said that with Uncle Jing, Yao Xue was afraid of implicating Jing Mohuai.
For now, the only way to do this is to go to Tang Zhai to find the old lady, and she can pretend to reveal it to the old lady inadvertently during the conversation. Although the old lady has always worshiped the Buddha, she heard that the girl in this house did not know how to hook up with dignity and humility, and the master's affairs, so she had to beat it.
Yao Xue washed up and dressed up, took the girl Qiu Tao, and went to Xiangtangzhai.
Xiang Tangzhai's doorkeeper went in to pass the word, and after a while, Mama Zeng came out.
is worthy of being a celebrity in front of the old lady, Yao Xue saw the sandalwood hairpin in Mama Zeng's hair, simple and heavy, it is not something ordinary people can have.
Yao Xue was wearing a long skirt, with plum blossoms dotted in the plain white skirt, and a mist-colored thin smoke cloak.
The forehead is also decorated with yellow flowers, but unfortunately, this dress is fresh and refined, but it is also the aesthetics of young people, in the opinion of Mama Zeng, this Yao Xue visited the old lady for the New Year, and dressed up in this pitiful appearance, as if Jingfu had treated her badly.
Seeing this, Mama Zeng couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Xiang Tangzhai has always been pure, I'm afraid it's not suitable for a young lady like Miss Biao to stay for a long time." ”
Xiang Tangzhai is not a place where she can break in, Yao Xue smiled slightly, "Mama doesn't know, I have been here for a few days, but I have never asked the old lady to say goodbye, and I have been terrified." Today, I heard from the servants in the house that the old lady was in good health, so I took the liberty to come. ”
Yao Xuefu's eyebrows were half-furrowed, tears were already flashing in her eyes, and her words were even more miserable, "If Mama doesn't allow it, those subordinates who chew their tongues will not say that Xue'er doesn't understand the rules." ”
Mama Zeng was disgusted when she saw it, and wiped her tears here, as if someone had bullied her.
Zeng's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, "You come in, please leave after inviting An, the old lady's body still needs to be raised." ”
"Yes, Cher." Yao Xue pretended to be well-behaved, but her eyes flashed with her head lowered.
Mrs. Jing was afraid of the cold, the windows in the main house were closed, and the old lady was covered with brown mink fur, and she was holding a hand stove painted with gold and lotus flowers in her arms.
Yao Xue Yingying bowed, "Xue'er has seen the old lady, and the people in the house are all kind to the old lady, and now she is really a bodhisattva-like person." ”
The old lady was used to hearing these words, and she didn't feel anything for a while, so she looked at her carefully, "How is your father doing?" Can the body be refreshed? ”
Yao Xue's father is the cousin of Master Jing, and the two families have a close relationship, and it is reasonable for the old lady to ask.
Yao Xue blessed her body again, "If you go back to the old lady, my father is in good health, but there is still business in Beijing, and there are miscellaneous things in the house, so the family let Xue'er come to Jingfu to pay New Year's greetings." ”
Mama Zeng didn't say a word since Yao Xue entered the house, the old lady felt strange, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. The old lady had already regarded her as a sister in private, and she didn't feel that she was out of line.
Although the old lady was puzzled, she didn't show it on her face.
"That's good, you girl is also well-behaved, she gets along with Mi'er and Zhi'er a lot, they are all generally old, and they talk a lot." Mrs. Jing responded to Yao Xue with no interest.
Yao Xue saw that the old lady didn't ask much about her, and she had no intention of gossiping with her, so she felt despised and was despised, but she could only endure it.
didn't care about the original plan, so she had to look at Mrs. Jing with a smile, and forcibly mentioned the reason, "Xue'er has also been in Jingfu for a few days, the old lady is respectable, and Uncle Jing's aunts and aunts are amiable, but there is a saying that Xue'er doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mama Zeng's face became even colder. There are no rules, the housekeeping of Jingfu, a cousin dares to beak?
Does this mean that the Jing family has treated her badly?
Mrs. Jing suppressed the unhappiness that rose instantaneously in her heart, and slapped the gold-painted hand stove, and the hollow gilding on the stove lid made a noise.
Yao Xue lowered her head, "Xue'er said this not because the Jing family treats Xue'er badly, on the contrary, because the Jing family's kindness makes Xue'er unable to sit idly by and ignore those things." ”
Old Madam Jing frowned, "What do you mean by that?" Let's be clear. ”
Yao Xuefu said: "Xue'er heard some subordinates chewing their tongues indiscriminately, saying that it was a lowly girl who entered the Jiezixuan shamelessly, and the more the words were spread, the more ugly they became. So he reprimanded them with the prestige of Miss Biao, but Xue'er was just a Miss Cousin after all, and she was powerless to be pragmatic in Jingfu, and this suppression seemed to be solid, and this gossip spread even more. ”
After Yao Xue finished speaking, she was secretly proud in her heart, she said this unclearly, not very clearly, but she conveyed the impact clearly. Afterwards, even if the old lady checked carefully, she would never let Nan Mo go.
Thinking of this, her expression froze, "Xue'er knows that her status is low, so she shouldn't care about it, and I'm afraid that the skinless girl will tarnish the reputation of the eldest young master in vain, and the people outside will know it, and it will ruin the reputation of Jingfu." ”
Yao Xue said that the love was sincere, and when it came to the emotional place, she was still crying, which made people feel sorry.
"What girl? Where is the person so bold? Although the old lady was dissatisfied that Yao Xue had pinched her head, what she said was conclusive, and she couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that it was Aunt Hou's place, a girl named Nan Mo." Yao Xue suddenly had a sense of righteousness in her eyes, and looked at the old lady, as if she had spoken out only when she saw injustice.
"Nan Mo?" The old lady glanced at her thoughtfully, "The affairs of Jingfu don't bother Miss Yao, I'm tired." The old lady stroked her forehead.
Mama Zeng comprehended and said to Yao Xue: "Miss Cousin, please go back." ”
Yao Xue didn't understand, after listening to her words, it was obvious that the old lady was faintly unhappy, why was she turning a blind eye at this moment?
Mama Zeng sent Yao Xue away, and it took about half an hour before she returned to Xiangtangzhai.
The old lady didn't stop, and what she said to Yao Xue was just a dismissal.
Mama Zeng approached the bed, and the old lady opened her half-squinted eyes, "Clarified?" ”
Mama Zeng nodded, "It's clear, it was the Fang clan who was the girl who was the cheap Nan Mo, and asked Cheng Ying to punish Nan Mo for kneeling on the grounds that the work leave was too long, but she was saved by the eldest young master's men, and only then did she pick up a life." ”
"Evil...... the old lady suddenly trembled with anger. If she hadn't had some understanding of Nan Mo's child, or if she had a different person today, she might have really beaten it up.
Soon, she calmed down again, and after thinking about it, she knew that Yao Xue came over just to borrow a knife to kill someone. However, Nan Mo entered the Excerpt Xuan, which is a strange thing.
You must know that her eldest grandson is very unkind. The old lady looked at Mama Zeng inquiringly with a complicated gaze.
Mama Zeng comforted her, "According to the old slave, this is a good thing." ”
The eldest young master is not too young, and it is time to consider putting a few people in the room to serve.
"You say, Huai'er has taken a fancy to that girl?" The old lady seemed a little wary.
Mama Zeng groaned, the eldest young master has a cold temperament, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the attached middle school at all. Even if his subordinates saved Nan Mo, I am afraid that they would be sent back to the Hou family, and this time, they actually left people in Zhezixuan for the first time. There is a posture that you don't take those rumors seriously.
Without waiting for Mama Zeng to reply, the old lady waved her hand, "That's it, if Huai'er really likes it, I'll approve it." "It's just the identity of a subordinate to have a room, and she still takes this little thing. In the future, even if the old man asks, he will not give her a faceless mother. ”
