Chapter 42: The Zhou Mansion returned the salute and lost face in public

Early in the morning of this day, Du Wei took Canglan to Foxiangju to ask Mrs. Du for peace.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the eldest lady and Aunt Qinghe asking the old lady to say goodbye, Du Xue'e was standing next to her, and behind her stood a girl she had never seen.

"This is your sister Du Wei." The eldest lady introduced, "This is your third sister, Du Lingyan." ”

Du Wei didn't hurry to greet the old lady first, and then took the third sister's hand to look at it carefully.

The third sister is more delicate than the second sister, but her eyes are dodgy, and she looks like she is not confident enough, obviously she is usually bullied by Du Xue'e.

The old lady Du who was sitting on the kang raised her eyes and swept over the three sisters, her gaze first skimmed over Du Lingyan, and then stopped on Du Wei for a moment.

In the end, it fell on Du Xue'e.

Du Wei felt that the old lady must have something in her heart, and when she looked at the eldest lady, she saw that her eyes were full of love.

"The Zhou Mansion sent a post early this morning." The old lady closed her eyes slightly and continued to twist the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Du Xue'e's eyes lit up, but she quickly lowered her head.

Du Wei saw it clearly, and sneered in her heart: Still not dead? It is said that the pole is not a business, always thinking about climbing the gate of Zhou Mansion, beware of falling down and falling into an eggplant box!

Mother Fang took out three wooden boxes and put them on the table, "This is a return gift from the two young ladies of the Zhou Mansion to us." ”

Du Wei looked at the wooden boxes on the table, judging from the appearance, the three wooden boxes all looked the same, and she couldn't tell what was inside.

"You three take it separately." The old lady said.

Du Lingyan only glanced at the box and lowered his head, obviously planning to pick it up last.

Du Xue'e stepped forward, directly uncovered a wooden box, and said happily: "What a beautiful hairpin!" I saw her take out a pair of bat hairpins with pearls from the box.

Mother Fang's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Why does the old slave look at this thing like an object in the palace?" ”

The old lady opened her eyes, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "It's the Si Ornament, and the Zhou Mansion is really generous." ”

Du Wei and Du Lingyan also took the box separately.

"Sister, why don't you open your box and take a look?" Du Xue'e asked crisply, looking innocent and cute.

Du Wei couldn't guess the twists and turns in her heart, and said with a smile: "Since the second sister wants to see it, let's watch it." ”

As he spoke, he opened the box and saw a half-winged saucer hairpin inside, although the appearance was lifelike, but compared with the pair of bat hairpins, it was obviously too much worse.

The things in the third sister's box are the same as Du Wei's, Du Xue'e is even happier, when she asks the maid next to her to help her put the hairpin on her head, twisting back and forth to coax Mrs. Du to look at the hairpin on her head.

You know, this is a gift from the Zhou Mansion, if you wear it on your head and go to the outer mansion as a guest, you will be looked down upon by other ladies wherever you go.

Glancing at Du Wei who was standing next to her with her eyes down, Du Xue'e's heart welled up with disdain, why could she be the concubine of Du Mansion, she was the only one who was the most beloved granddaughter in the eyes of the old lady for so many years.

Du Wei lowered her eyes silently, hiding the mockery at the bottom: If you don't die, you won't die, see how long you can do.

The second lady coaxed the old lady to be happy for a while, and then crowded to her side and clamored to see the invitation.

Fang's mother smiled: "The second lady is really caring to her sister, and she is in a hurry, as if the person who is going to Zhou Mansion as a guest is herself." ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Xue'e was stunned.

took the invitation sticker, and saw that Du Wei's name was clearly written on the delicate sticker.

Du Xue'e's face turned white.

"How can this ......" she wanted to say why the person invited by the Zhou Mansion was not her, the gift from the Zhou Mansion just now clearly showed that she was different from others.

But why, her name is not written on the post?

Mother Fang didn't expect that the second miss would turn cold after reading the post, and explained with a smile: "The old slave still thinks that the second miss knows." ”

Du Xue'e only felt as if she had fallen to the ground from high in the sky, and she was showing off her hairpin in front of Du Wei just now......

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she pulled off a pair of bat hairpins on her head and took them in her hands to look at them carefully.

I saw a line of small characters engraved on the back of the hairpin: Du Wei, my teacher.

Du Xue'e only felt a "boom" in her head, like a muffled thunder from the clear sky, smashing her to pieces.

Unexpectedly, this thing ...... It wasn't actually given to her.

Du Wei, my teacher.

The two twin sisters of the Zhou Mansion actually held her sister in high esteem so much, but she just wore this pair of hairpins in front of everyone's eyes to show everyone......

Suddenly, seeing that Du Xue'e stopped talking, everyone in the room felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

"Second sister, why is my name engraved on your hairpin?" Du Wei tilted her head sideways, looking very interested.

Just one sentence attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

The eldest lady's face was full of surprise, the third sister's face could not hide the schadenfreude, and even the maids and ladies in the house had a sarcastic smile in their eyes.

Du Xue'e opened her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't spit out a word, she wanted to explain, but ...... What could she explain in this case?

She picked the thing first, and it wasn't someone else who forced it to her, she had a preconceived idea that this thing was hers, but she didn't expect it to turn out to be such a big one.

Old Mrs. Du made a gloomy face.

Since the post was given to Miss Du Fu, how could this gift make the second lady's things surpass Du Wei's? The second lady is used to being pampered on weekdays, and she takes everything first, so she makes this kind of shameful joke.

Du Xue'e bit her lip tightly, felt the heat on her cheeks, raised her head, and met Du Wei's dark eyes, her heart tightened, and even her hands trembled.

"My sister doesn't know why...... "She still wants to save face."

The villain in Du Wei's heart was about to fall with laughter, but the expression on his face became more and more serious, "The two young ladies of the Zhou Mansion are really strange, when I go to the mansion, I will definitely ask them why they are doing this, but you want to joke with me?" ”

The second young lady's body stiffened, and Du Wei really wanted to question the twin sisters of the Zhou Mansion, but her face was about to be thrown home. In a few days, I believe that the entire Liangzhou City will spread the news that she robbed the Zhou Mansion of the gift to Sister Yan.

Seeing that Du Xue'e couldn't get off the stage, Mrs. Du glanced at her gloomily and said, "Maybe the second girl took the wrong box, why don't you hurry up and return the things to your sister?" ”

Hearing this, Du Xue'e felt like she had received amnesty, and hurriedly put the things in her hand back into the box, her face was red and white.

Mrs. Du twisted the Buddha beads again, "It's not too early, you guys are all back." ”

Du Xue'e hung her head in embarrassment and bowed down with everyone.

She didn't know how she got out of the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion, she felt that her legs were like being filled with lead, and those ridicules kept echoing in her ears, and she didn't even know that the maid Xiao Tao next to her was talking to her.

"Second Miss, Aunt Qinghe has come to see you." The maid Xiaotao looked at her face cautiously.

When she looked up and saw her own mother, Du Xue'e's grievances suddenly came up, and she threw herself into the other party's arms: "Why can Du Wei, that slut, go to Zhou's Mansion as a guest, but I can only watch with my eyes!" My daughter didn't accept ......"

Jinghe didn't know what happened in Foxiangju just now, and he was at a loss when his daughter cried, and finally figured out what happened from Xiao Tao.

Although her daughter is not the concubine of Du Mansion, before Du Wei comes back, her daughter is not inferior to the official concubine.

Qinghe's silver teeth were bitten, but I didn't expect this eldest lady to be really powerful, and as soon as she came back, she got a post from the Zhou Mansion. Could it be that her daughter has been by the master's side for all these years, and she is not as good as a girl who has been away from home for ten years?

Qinghe smiled coldly, "Xue'e don't cry, being a mother will definitely let you get your wish." ”
