Not long after Wei Guogong left, there was a mother-in-law who came to Luqingyuan with fifty taels of silver, Yijing only glanced at it, thanked the mother-in-law a few words, rewarded her with a tael of broken silver, and asked Chun Dusk to put away the silver, and he was still sitting in front of the window, busy with flying needles and threads - after many days of hard work, it was only one-fifth of the birthday gift to be dedicated to his grandmother, cut and sewn, and today he will officially start embroidering the phoenix.

Qiushuang couldn't help but be curious, so she paused the work of subdividing the embroidery thread and asked, "The slave really doesn't understand, why did Wu Niang ask Grandpa Guo for silver?" ”

The ladies of the Guogong Mansion, regardless of the age of the concubine, the monthly silver is ten taels of silver, and the food and clothing are all from the public middle school, the little ladies just need to prepare some copper coins, reward the next person, or invite the sisters to come to a small gathering, so that the kitchen can add vegetables to the expenses, even if Wu Niang Suxi collects books, calligraphy and paintings, it costs a lot on this, but it is far from the point of lack of silver, originally thought that Wu Niang would be as usual, begging for what rare books to be rewarded by the Duke of Weiguo, even if it is to ask for a gold lock and jade pendant, it is also within the scope of Qiushuang's understanding, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly asked for silver……

Not to mention that Wei Guogong was stunned at the time, Qiu Shuang almost thought that the little master had not fully woken up and said a foolish word.

"A few days ago, I asked Chun Du to check my deposits, but there were only more than 100 taels, which is too little, and it is rare for my father to reward me, so I will naturally be in short supply." Yijing carefully did the embroidery work, every time she pricked a needle, she had to stop to look at the stitch line, very focused.

"A hundred taels of silver is already a lot." Qiushuang sighed: "Wu Niang doesn't want to save money with silver?" ”

With a secret sigh, Yijing didn't answer.

She doesn't know what these hundred taels of silver can buy outside, but she still has experience, a book is not a rare famous rubbing, it can also be worth seven or eight taels of silver, if she is idle in the boudoir, she naturally does not need to care about the money, in fact, in the eighteen years of her previous life, she did not waste her mind on this, but after being reborn, she has too much calculation in her heart, and it is not enough to rely on the people in the house, although she has not thought of a specific plan, who to entrust to, but no matter what the plan, there is no silver to do.

She is only twelve years old, and her monthly income is only ten taels of silver, although she is in the palace or her grandmother, and she has also rewarded a lot of jewelry over the years, but those things are not used, and she must find ways to save some silver money in case of emergency.

The father's desire to appease himself is undoubtedly a great opportunity for "blackmail".

Although it was a little abrupt, my father always paid little attention to these trivial matters, and after thinking about it, he would be distracted by other things and forget about her sudden money obsession.

Yijing even regretted that he didn't have a lion to open his mouth and extort a few hundred taels......

One of the big things to do now is to uncover the true face of the third prince, so that the grandmother and mother know that he is a playboy and is not a good match, and I vaguely remember that year, as if the eldest sister was only half a year after her marriage, she made a fuss about the third prince raising a prostitute outside, and my sister hid it from him to find it, and she said good words and promised to send it with a lot of money, and she didn't want to be known by the third prince, so she angrily reprimanded her sister, and she never set foot in her sister's yard for several months...... My sister was aggrieved, so she caused her first miscarriage.

Listening to the private discussions, the prostitute was very famous, but it was a pity that she did not ask the prostitute about her name and surname.

As long as he exposes his affair at this time, his grandmother will definitely not let the eldest sister marry such an "amorous" prince.

But how easy is it to complete this plan?

First, I don't know who the prostitute's surname is, let alone which brothel is a celebrity; Second, being in the deep mansion, there is no way to know the whereabouts of the three princes, let alone expose the adultery.

I usually can't go out, even if I go out, I will be led by the elders, or follow a group of maids, grandmothers, and guards, and the freedom is very limited, not to mention going to Fireworks Alley to "catch rape", and even go to Tianyi Pavilion to buy books, I am afraid that I will have to waste some words.

Cardamom is good, but young.

There are many things that cannot be done by oneself, so they have to be entrusted to someone who can be trusted.

But the maids around me are the same as themselves, they are not free in the past, and they have to think of excuses for a long time when they go out, and they have to ask for the permission of their grandmother and mother first, and they can only go out after getting the right cards, not to mention whether they have the ability to follow the prince and the brothel to catch the adulterer.

This matter of inquiring about the whereabouts of the prince is not as simple as inquiring about Mama Song's nephews and grandchildren, and it can be entrusted to the eldest brother.

If the eldest brother asks why he asks about the third prince, how can he explain it?

And the second one......

Mama Song's strangeness, the details of the staff Li Jihe, what is the relationship between the two, these are all things that cannot be investigated by the people who live in the boudoir, so they must be entrusted to a trustworthy person, this person cannot be a maid, at least a small house, relatively free to enter and exit, have a certain network in the market, flexible brain, bold and careful, and can hide people's eyes and ears to infiltrate the outside things into this high-walled deep house and spread it to their own ears.

At first, she was optimistic about Qiuyue's uncle......

But after thinking about it, if you really entrust him, you must not hide it from Mama Yang, Mama Yang has always been loyal to her grandmother, she knows, and her grandmother must know.

If the grandmother asked, it would be an inexplicable situation again.

Chun Twilight also has an older brother, but she asks Chun Twilight and learns that her brother is an honest teenager, and he is really not suitable for this job of stalking.

Alas! The beautiful scenery sighed again.

At the moment, there is really no one around her who can be trusted.

Especially the matter of the third prince, the time is really urgent, and as soon as the grandmother's birthday passes, the little aunt will definitely get married, and then it will be the turn to discuss the marriage for the eldest sister.

Must be ...... before that You have to let the three princes "make a name for themselves" in Fireworks Alley.

Lacking funds and having no manpower, Yijing only felt that it was difficult to move forward, so as soon as she ran away, the embroidery needle was pierced on the tip of her finger, which made her exclaim.

Qiu Shuang's exclamation was even louder, and he put the matter of silver behind him, and hurriedly took a silk handkerchief to stop the bleeding for his master.

Hearing the sound, Chun Dusk also looked worried, and stood aside trivial: "Wu Niang, don't be too anxious, isn't there still some days?" The patterns are not too cumbersome, and you are always in a hurry to do it slowly. ”

After a period of hecticism, Yijing settled down, picked up the needle and thread again, and just tied it on the cloud brocade, but saw that the curtain was lifted, and the girl in Qiuyue entered with a wicked smile on her face, and she didn't need to ask, she sat on the pedal and said: "Sanniang is full of evil today, and her appearance of opening her teeth and dancing claws was broken by Grandpa Guo on the spot, this is good, Grandpa Guo was angry, said that he would punish her heavily, and went to Mrs. Tai to reply and let Sanniang go to live in Qingping Nunnery for half a month!" ”

Chundui couldn't help but sneer: "What nonsense, carefully teach others to listen to it, and when it reaches Sanniang's ears, it will be another turmoil." ”

Yijing was also very surprised, and hurriedly asked what happened, Qiu Yue put out the words she had inquired about, and leaned back happily: "When Grandpa Guo went, Sanniang was pointing at Aunt Cui's nose and scolding, I heard that even Ji Xue was slapped by Sanniang before, and the slave maid just secretly went to see the excitement, and saw that Aunt Cui's two eyes were swollen like peaches, and Ji Xue was also disheveled, and even the placket was torn off, tsk, Sanniang is really powerful, Aunt Cui is her biological mother, but she doesn't save half face." ”

Chun Du was very worried, glanced at Yijing, lowered her voice and said: "In this way, I am afraid that Sanniang will be more and more annoyed by Wuniang...... But that Kiyoheian is ...... Wu Niang still went to Mrs. Tai to plead for mercy, so as not to get deeper. ”

This Qingping Nunnery, Yijing has also heard of it, located in the suburbs of Lanying Mountain, the abbot nun Jingping and grandmother in the early years is handkerchief, the most is a strict person, usually or there are noble women because of the fate of the trouble, in order to understand the misfortune, the family sent her to the Qingxin Nunnery to live, Jingping nun is insisted on not letting the mother-in-law and maid attendants, so the nobles in addition to the Buddha chant, but also have to take care of their own diet and daily life, the noble girl which is not the golden branches and jade leaves are used to raising pampered children, where to do those water washing, firewood and fire rough work, must be miserable, But there is nothing to be done.

Sanniang was punished to Qingping Nunnery, which can be regarded as an unprecedented "heavy punishment" for the little ladies of the Guogong Mansion, she has a strong temperament, and she has long harbored resentment, of course, she will count this account on the head of the beautiful scene, but if you want to intercede for her......

Yijing shook his head: "Grandmother and father blame the juniors, I shouldn't have gossiped, and according to the temperament of the third sister, you think about what she said to Aunt Cui, even if I really went to intercede and saved her from suffering in Qingping Nunnery, she may not appreciate it." ”

Qiu Yue nodded her head sharply beside her, and thought deeply: "Wu Niang is right, some people just don't know what to do and deserve to be punished." ”

Yijing glanced sideways at Qiuyue: "Spring twilight reminds me well, and these words of schadenfreude are still not to be said." ”

Qiu Yue nodded her head again: "Wu Niang rest assured, the slave and maid can save it, that is, just chant a few words in the house, in front of outsiders, the slave and maid are deeply saddened by what happened to Sanniang." ”

This sentence made Chun Du cough several times, looking at Qiu Yue's little face of schadenfreude, he really couldn't find any traces of grief, so he had to shake his head helplessly, but he heard Yijing and asked, "Is the sound of the warbler okay lately?" ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly changed her serious expression, and talked about the results of her work during this period of time, starting from the change in attitude towards those maids who used to befriend Yingsheng, until Yingsheng went to the toilet several times in the middle of the night, no matter how big or small, nothing was missed.

"Not to mention that several other second-class maids are far away from her, even the best May in the past no longer cares about her, yesterday's May birthday, Yingsheng also took a silver bracelet to please May, but was politely refused, Yingsheng was black-faced, and washed clothes in the backyard in a daze, and simply beat the clothes as enemies, and spit on the cherry's clothes while people were not paying attention...... No one wanted to talk to her, but I didn't know what she was complaining about, but I only knew that I took a few dollars to the porter's mother-in-law, and asked if Hongyu had come back these days...... Xu is doing rough work these days, the amount of food has increased a lot, and I still have a fire in my heart, and I rely on pouring tea to suppress it, which eats a lot and drinks a lot, and it doesn't stop at night, but I have to get up four or five times a night......"

Chun Du and Qiu Shuang laughed when they heard this, and joked that Qiu Yue was really conscientious and free from the material of a "secret agent".

Yijing was thoughtful and asked: "How about the cherry, she has always been at odds with the sound of the warbler, this time the song of the warbler is punished, is there a bit of schadenfreude and falling into the well?" ”

Qiu Yue thought for a while and shook her head: "That's not true, a few second-class maids gather in one place, often laughing at the sound of the warbler, and the cherry is the one who is silent." Although she often talks with the sound of warblers, she has been quiet these days. ”

Thinking that Yingsheng suffered a big loss, she had to restrain herself and didn't dare to stir up trouble again, and Cherry didn't tease her, and there was a sudden peace between the two.

Yijing nodded: "You have time to remind May, just say that she and Yingsheng were originally good sisters, and Yingsheng was punished, so she was relieved." ”

Qiu Yue was still a little puzzled at first, she looked up her cheeks and thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, she seemed to understand the intention of Yijing, and hurriedly agreed, and said again: "The slave and maid also forgot to report something, I heard that Sanniang went to Qingping Nunnery, and Mrs. Tai asked Mama Song to give her a ride." ”

Chun Du was stunned when she heard the words Mama Song, and blurted out: "She won't stir up trouble in front of Sanniang, right?" ”

It seems that Mama Song has completely degenerated into a wicked person who has done all the bad things in the eyes of Chundui, Yi Jing smiled, thought about it, shook her head and said: "Grandmother asked her to go, maybe because she has something to say to the Jingping Nun, if she provokes trouble in front of Sanniang, let Sanniang cause any more accidents in Qingping Nunnery, will others not suspect her?" Mama Song will not do such a thing that harms others and herself. ”

Yijing did not expect it badly, Mama Song went to Qingping Nunnery this time, it was really because the eldest princess was a little uneasy, so she asked her to confess to the Jingping nun and let her strictly control Sanniang, and be sure to let Sanniang know what to do, who Mama Song is, with a slight turn of her mind, she knew what the eldest princess meant, she was worried about Sanniang's temperament, she did not accept the discipline of the nun, and made another disturbance in the nunnery. Thinking of the Duchess Guo's worries again, Mama Song gradually made up her mind.

After the troubles of the spring twilight, the eldest princess saw that she had no mustard for her, and she couldn't say that she already had other ideas in her heart, and it became imperative to rely on another backer for the sake of future events.

In addition to the eldest princess, which other mountain in the Guogong Mansion is worthy of her to attach to? The first choice is, of course, the Duchess of the Kingdom who holds the middle feed, the last time Luo had an accident, wasn't it thanks to the lady who showed her in advance? If it weren't for the Duchess of the Kingdom to cover up this matter, the kind of behavior of the Luo family would be a momentary greed in the novel, but it would be a betrayal of the master, if it was really investigated, it would be sent to the government to punish the crime of theft, but the Luo family's family was her own family, although it would not implicate her, but if it was really a troublemaker, it would be regarded as a shame.

The way the Duchess dealt with it was to take care of her face and show favor to her.

The backer takes the initiative to show goodwill, of course, he must be interested.

The Duchess was worried that Sanniang would hate her, so she had to at least ask Sanniang not to be jealous of her mother because of this.

Mama Song first went back to her private house, thought about it, put a few silver nudes in the bag, weighed a weight of five or six taels, and then changed into a light brown plain satin gown, only pinned a silver hairpin to the bun, and then took the green sedan chair to the corner gate of the Guogong Mansion.

There was already a red sandalwood car waiting at the corner gate, and the porter Gong Liuzheng told the coachman to be careful on the road, and when he saw Mama Song getting off the sedan chair, he hurriedly stepped forward, bent his waist, and his face was full of flattering smiles: "Mama is here?" Sanniang got into the carriage. ”

Mama Song nodded, she had no intention of arguing with Gong Liu, but when she saw Gong Liu coming forward carefully, she lowered her voice and said: "My little hometown came to my relatives a few days ago, and brought a lot of tuyi, although it is not valuable, but it is not visible in Jinyang Jingli, and I have the heart to honor Mama, but I am afraid of disturbing Mama's tranquility......"

Mama Song's sharp eyes swept Gong Liu's flattering face intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to say casually: "You have a heart, I'm not a quiet person, I'm always free after dinner, and sometimes I wish to come to a few people to talk to me." ”

Gong Liu understood, and his eyebrows trembled with a smile: "The little one will let the little mother-in-law accompany the little mother-in-law to relieve her boredom tonight." ”

Mama Song slanted the corners of her mouth, waved her hand, got into the red sandalwood car, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw Sanniang, who was wearing a blue and white skirt with a white background, sitting inside with a strained face.

Sanniang is very aggrieved!

was blamed and punished by her grandmother, in fact, she was prepared, she originally thought that she would only be punished for copying scriptures, after all, the paperweight did not fall on Wu Niang, but it was just to make a maid swollen her arm, who knew that she was punished and grounded! This has already annoyed her - what Aunt Zhang still beats and scolds the maid all day long, and she hasn't been punished by anyone, can't she, a serious master, even beat the maid?

Grandmother is too eccentric!

Later, she just said a few words about Aunt Cui, but she annoyed her father, who had always loved her, and said that she would send her to Qingping Nunnery!

Since the governor, she has been well-behaved in front of her mother and father, and she doesn't know how many shoes she has made throughout the year, so she has won a little favor from her parents. Isn't this the difference between a concubine and a concubine?

Wu Niang often argued with her sisters, and she didn't see anyone reprimanding her for being rude, and when it came to her head, she was punished and grounded, and even had to go to Qingping Nunnery......

Who doesn't know that the Jingping nun of Qingping Nunnery is strict, no matter which noble girl, as long as she goes there, she will not talk about fasting and chanting Buddha, but also have to do the heavy work of carrying water and washing clothes, collecting firewood and sprinkling sweeping!

If it is nothing to suffer a little, I just think of the ridicule behind the people of those servants, and the smiling faces of Er Niang and Wu Niang......

Sanniang gritted her teeth, and finally her eyes turned red, and she didn't even notice that Mama Song entered the carriage, nor did she notice the carriage moving slowly. It wasn't until she heard a heavy sigh that Sanniang raised her eyes and saw Mama Song sitting in front of her with a smile.

"Mama......" shouted, choking with astringency in her throat.

"Sanniang feels that she has been punished, and she is wronged?" Mama Song had a gentle face, and there was no sharpness in her eyes, as if there was endless pity and sympathy.

It's not just a grievance, but it's even more humiliating, but these words are not something that can be said to the person in front of the grandmother, Sanniang silently warned herself, and pulled out a smile far-fetched: "It's me who did something wrong, and I should be punished." ”

Where would Mama Song be confused by the little girl's lies, and smiled slightly: "In the past, the third lady was also an understanding person, why was she so confused this time?" Who are you messing with, but you ...... to Wu Niang"

Sanniang couldn't hear the word Wu Niang, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she almost couldn't help but scold, only pinching her nails tightly in her palms to suppress the resentment in her heart.

Mama Song half raised her eyelids, and said: "The old slave has a few more words, if Sanniang feels reasonable, she will listen, if she feels harsh, she just forgets." Seeing that Sanniang didn't speak, Mama Song continued: "The princess pities Wuniang for losing her mother since she was a child, and she will leave Wuniang by her side to take care of her, after more than ten years of getting along, how much is partial to her, Sanniang this time in front of so many people, bluntly said that Wuniang is a sinner who killed her mother, no wonder the princess is annoyed." ”

"Grandmother, she ......" Sanniang endured it hard, and her tears still broke down: "What's wrong with what I said, isn't it because of Wuniang that my mother ......?"

"Even if that's the reason, it's not something you should say." Mama Song sighed: "You are a sister, you should also be polite to your sister, this is everyone's beauty, you are still young, I don't know this boudoir daughter, what I am most afraid of is the reputation of being rude and willful, to tell the truth, how long can you stay in the boudoir, you will have to go out of the pavilion in the future." ”

"Wu Niang is a concubine in the end, and she is protected by a princess, but what about you? To say something unpleasant, what is it a concubine...... However, Grandpa Guo has always spoiled you, and Mrs. is a virtuous person, and the marriage will definitely be carefully planned for you in the future, but if you are still so willful, you have been planted with a domineering reputation by someone with a heart...... Those noble ladies of high-ranking families don't want their daughter-in-law to have such a temperament. Mama Song put on a serious face: "Although the lintel of the Guogong Mansion is placed here...... You just think about the Pingle County Lord of King Kang's Mansion, he has a reputation for being a man at a young age, and he is eighteen years old this year, and he is still waiting to be in the boudoir. ”

The lord of Pingle is also famous, when he was ten years old, he slapped her sister at the palace banquet, and later went to the Jinxiang Mansion to attend the banquet, and had a dispute with the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and in front of the noblewomen, he splashed the tea on his face. I heard that her sister-in-law was once whipped all over her body by her......

The Gaomen Wang clan was as afraid of the county lord of Pingle as a tiger, and no one dared to marry such a Hedong lion back.

Thinking of this, the anger in Sanniang's heart gradually subsided, and her expression withered.

Mama Song knew that she had opened her mind, so she stopped at the point: "No matter how much resentment there is in your heart, at least before leaving the cabinet, you have to endure it, the third lady is already thirteen this year, and she can't bear it for long...... This time, it should be regarded as a loss and long wisdom, you should also understand that no matter how much Grandpa Guo spoils you, he can't beat Wu Niang, how can Grandpa Guo be a foolish person who ignores filial piety for this? ”

For example, this time, instead of interceding for himself, his father severely punished himself for disrespecting his aunt......

Although she was unwilling, Sanniang had to admit that Mama Song was telling the truth.

But is it necessary to make her swallow her breath so much......

Thinking of Wu Niang's appearance of showing off her martial arts, San Niang gritted her teeth again.
