Chapter Eighty-Six

Xia Li pretended not to know where to go: "What is the matter with Erniang coming over?" ”

Erniang didn't like it in her heart, but she still smiled on her face and said: "It's the palace that comes and asks for a post, September 29 is the queen's birthday, so the eldest lady asked the servant to tell the young lady, so that you can have a preparation in your heart, and we will set off together early the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay, I know, then I don't know how the young masters in the mansion will go!"

"The young masters are with the masters, they may come earlier than us, don't worry, miss"

"Okay got it"

Erniang continued:

"By the way, in the afternoon, the master who has his own clothes will come over to help Miss measure the size, and then Miss will tell her if she has any requirements."

"Okay" Xia Li had to serve the eldest lady Li Honglian thought about it thoroughly, and thought about it for a while:

"Are the clothes all new? Are there any requirements for the headdress to wear when I entered the palace, Erniang, you don't know if my jewelry is old, or was it prepared for me when my mother was alive."

Xia Li wanted to see how far her eldest aunt could go, and whether she would give her jewelry if she asked for jewelry.

Erniang's face twitched, thinking that this young lady really dared to open her mouth, and she still wanted jewelry, and said unhappily:

"Okay, the slave will go and talk to the lady in a while."

"That's good, don't let me bring the old head to embarrass the eldest aunt at that time, it's not good"

"Yes"

Erniang now has to match how long this young lady is, and how her skin has become so thick.

The one who used to say anything always shrunk his shoulders and left the young lady, which is something that the big house has been wondering about from the master to the maid.

However, it is not excluded that the young lady's temperament has changed greatly because of the death of her mother.

After Xia Li finished talking to this one, he let Chu Han send off the guests.

She didn't have to do anything now, just wait in the house.

But I just don't know if I want to give the queen a gift, if I want everyone to give it, what can she give.

Xia Li was sitting in the house and suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Chu Ye asked her to send something to his mother.

This person must also know that the queen's birthday is the day after tomorrow, so he will go and get the things tomorrow night.

In the afternoon of this day, the tailoring master really came, measured her body size, and Xia Li also asked her to make a set of maids for Chu Han by the way, and the tailoring master agreed one by one.

Xia Li waited in the house for a day and didn't see the eldest lady bring her jewelry.

secretly said in his heart that if this person hadn't been sent to that day, she wouldn't be blamed.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Erniang came over with two jewelry zygotes in her hands.

The smile on his face was still the same: "Miss Li, this is the lady asked the slave to bring it, you look at the set that suits your liking, you keep that set, if you don't like it, the slave will take it back and change"

Chu Han took the box and handed it to Xia Li, the box looked very exquisite, it was a delicate hollow carved jewelry box made of pear blossom wood, she opened the upper one, and saw a set of ruby inlaid gold head, two ruby gold hairpins plus a golden hairpin and a set of earrings, but how to look at it doesn't look like what she wears at her age, it's a bit like something worn by a woman in her thirties and forties, but it looks like it's worth some silver.

Another set of boxes is made of colored golden sands, from the headdress to the earrings and necklaces are all one by one, beautiful is beautiful is also something she wears at this age, but it looks too cheap, the whole set is not as precious as a ruby in another box, it seems that this person is shaking her eyes, she closed the two sets one by one, thought about it:

"You go back and tell your aunt that I want both sets, and if she doesn't want to give them, someone will come and pick them up."

After speaking, he asked Chu Han to put away all the two sets.

Erniang stared for a while, she didn't take a set back to Mrs. How can she pay when she arrives! Madame didn't say that both sets were given to her.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Miss Li, Madame only asked the slave to bring one set to you, you can see ......"

Xia Li said there: "Since the eldest aunt asked you to bring it, it's not so stingy and doesn't want to give it to me, you go back according to my words, if the eldest aunt is really too picky and doesn't give it to me, I don't want it, you come and get it back!" ”

After she said this, she called Chu Han to send off the guests.

Erniang's mouth opened a few times, and she was so angry that she couldn't do it, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Xia Li looked at this person with an ugly face and walked out of the courtyard door, she wanted to see how long the eldest lady could endure her.

It's best if you can bear it, and if you can't bear it, she also has a way.

But until the evening, the second lady didn't come to ask for jewelry.

For this matter, she called Chu Han and said: "You go to the front yard to ask the second lady next to the eldest lady, and ask if she has given me all the jewelry she just brought, and if the eldest lady doesn't give it to me, she will take it back, and if you want to give it to me, you won't return it." ”

Chu Han obediently went to inquire, and when he saw that Erniang had just said the beginning, this mother-in-law said angrily:

"My wife said, she also has a lot of jewelry, I don't care about one set or two sets, those two sets are not very valuable and will be given to your young lady"

"Oh, that's not good for my lady, isn't it?" Chu Han inferred inferred.

Erniang was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly changed her words: "That's there, that's there, it's the old woman who just said the wrong thing in a daze."

Chu Han said undeniably: "How can Erniang's mind be so smart, how can it be bad, I will tell my young lady according to your words when I go back!" ”

Erniang saw that this girl left after speaking, she was in a hurry, thinking why she was so stupid to say this, how could she forget that Miss Li was shameless and could do everything.

I walked around the yard twice with anxiety, and thought that maybe the young lady would not be so bold and give her two sets of jewelry, it must be that I thought too much.

But it didn't take long for her to come over with the first cold in the summer, and the little girl was holding the jewelry she had just sent her.

My heart trembled, this dead girl is really here.

Erniang smiled worriedly and said, "Sister Libu, why are you here?"

Xia Li said there: "Don't bother, I want to see your wife"

It was impossible for Erniang to let Xia Li see Li Honglian, and said there: "I'm sorry Miss Li, my wife is tired and resting."

Xia Li's eyes were cold, she looked at the mother-in-law in front of her, didn't say anything, stretched out her hand and pushed it aside and said:

"You get out of my way, I don't talk to you, I want to talk to my aunt"

Now she is going to be arrogant, and it is best to make the big house angry, so that their faces will be completely exposed.

Erniang could withstand this push, her body was crooked, and she almost fell to the ground.

Xia Li didn't care about her, and walked into Li Honglian's Red Lotus Courtyard on his own.

Before she entered the house, she shouted, "Auntie, auntie, come out, I have something to say to you"

Li Honglian was already angry, she couldn't imagine that this dead girl had left two sets of jewelry, although the two sets were worth a few thousand taels of silver, but it was good to taste someone or something, why give this dead girl, but who would have thought that these two sets were in this girl's place.

Later, when she heard what Erniang said when she came back to learn from the dead girl, she gave it ruthlessly, and it was impossible for her not to give it, and if it was rumored that Mrs. Xiangfu was slamming the door, then her personality would be embarrassing.

Li Honglian was thinking about these things in the house, but she didn't expect to call her outside, and it was Xia Li who listened carefully.

Why did this dead girl come in, what did Erniang do, and she didn't guard the door at home.

Li Honglian was angry just now because of the jewelry, but now when she thinks that Erniang didn't block the courtyard door, she actually let this girl in, and she is even more angry when she thinks about it.

It was impossible not to go out when I heard the shouting, so I had to grit my teeth and put on my shoes and go out.

When I got outside, I saw that the maid and the maid were persuading the dead girl to go back.

Li Honglian didn't get angry, her people were really useless, and she couldn't deal with a dead girl.

She yelled, "What are you doing?" It's so noisy."

So when the maid heard this, she all stood aside and didn't dare to say more.

Erniang only ran over from behind at this time, crossed her waist with one hand as she walked, and shouted in pain, "Miss Li, you can stop standing quickly"

Just now, Xia Li pushed her, making her flash.

As soon as the woman entered the courtyard and saw her lady coming out of the house, she had to move over and stand silently aside.

Xia Li saw that everyone had arrived, took the jewelry in Chu Han's hand and slammed it to the ground:

"Uncle is really good at fooling people, why don't you give me such a broken one if there is a good one, and I don't collect it? Also, the eldest aunt manages the shop for our second room every year, and also manages the warehouse, and the money collected has never been given to us, and we have never asked the eldest aunt, is it not possible for me to use two sets of jewelry in Xia Li? If the eldest aunt really disagrees, then return my mother's things, don't occupy our second room for a day and eat our second room, as a result, we can't spend some money with something, tomorrow I will ask the queen, is my father not as big as your big house, he will be oppressed by you everywhere"

Xia Li's voice was crisp and pleasant, and the maids and women inside and outside the big room could hear it clearly.

Li Honglian's face turned from red to white and then from white to red, she didn't expect this dead girl to shake out the secret affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of such a person.

said that when I talked to Xia Zhi'an, I had never heard such unreasonable words.

But she couldn't get angry, so she had to smile and bend down to pick up the jewelry box on the ground and said: "Li'er, you must have misunderstood, why don't you tell Erniang if you don't have these two sets in the picture, let Erniang change it for you, Erniang, don't take a few more sets of jewelry to Li'er and send it again, you said that you were an old man in the house, and this thing was not done clearly, which made the girl angry." ”

After saying these words, this person looked at Xia Li and said: "Don't be angry, the eldest aunt apologizes to you, go back and wait first, and I'll let Erniang get a few more sets for you in a while."

Xia Li admired Li Honglian so much in her heart that she was so good at acting that she was almost deceived.

This person can bear to talk like that, which shows how terrible Li Honglian is.
