Chapter 205 - The Scourge of Koi [3]
Mrs. Qiao, who had been standing beside Liu Rong, laughed suddenly:
"What's so bad about that? Obviously, some people have the wrong time for mangshou, so they collided with the gods, so this pond represents auspicious koi, and all of them are almost dead! ”
Listening to Mrs. Qiao's words, Liu Rong's expression changed, and she glanced at Duan Zheng with some worry, but stopped:
"Mrs. Qiao, you can't talk nonsense...... You know, the eldest lady is the young lady from my Duan Mansion......"
These words, in the open, are helping, and secretly, they seem to be prompting, as if encouraging Mrs. Qiao to continue.
Duan Zheng frowned slightly, indeed, he felt strange that all the koi in this pond were turned over, but what was the direct relationship between this and Ming'er's Mangshou?
After all, he is a man, and he has never liked to explain this unsolved matter with natural disasters**, so Duan Zheng just waved his hand and smiled heartily:
"It's freezing on this day, koi fish are not resistant to freezing, and it is common to freeze to death, Mo delayed Ming'er's mangshou because of these trivial things, the banquet is about to start, ladies or please come to the table!"
Listening to Duan Zheng's words, these ladies and young ladies seemed to be relieved in their hearts, but at this moment, Mrs. Qiao said in a small voice:
"Hey, my lord also raises koi fish in his pool, but in this winter, you can swim happily, why don't you see a belly ......?"
After listening to Mrs. Qiao's words, Liu Rong's expression changed for a moment, and she hurriedly reminded:
"Mrs. Qiao, my lord has said that this koi fish is frozen to death, frozen to death......"
Liu Rong's tone was hurried, and she didn't want to cover it up. Duan Yulan listened and said dissatisfiedly:
"Mother, Mrs. Qiao has always been insightful, she has said that the koi in her house are fine, why are all the koi in my house dead? Moreover, it is also the day of my sister's birthday, if I don't make it clear, I'm afraid that my reputation with my eldest sister will be damaged! ”
When Liu Rong heard this, she hurriedly said:
"Lan'er, don't talk nonsense, this eldest lady is the eldest lady in my Duan Mansion, here, how can you speak......"
When Duan Yulan heard this, she turned around aggrievedly and said coldly:
"I know that the eldest sister is a concubine, and I am a concubine, so my father has always attached importance to my sister and never looked at me in his eyes!"
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Qiao on the side glanced at each other, and immediately sneered - looking at Liu Rong's mother and daughter full of luxury, and Duan Qingming dressed elegantly, it is not difficult to see what is the position of this aunt in the mansion, but now, Duan Yulan is using these words as a cover, if Duan Zheng believes it, wouldn't he be soft-eared and credulous?
Sure enough, when Duan Zheng heard this, he immediately frowned:
"Lan'er, where did you hear these truths? In our house, when is there a difference between a concubine and a concubine......"
After speaking, he glanced at Liu Rong, as if he was blaming Liu Rong for not teaching Duan Yulan well!
Liu Rong took a few steps back just right, her face full of grievances, but she didn't dare to say a word!
Mrs. Qiao sneered:
"It seems that the position of Aunt Liu and the second lady can be seen......"
At this moment, Mrs. Xue finally couldn't hold it back, she stepped forward and said:
"I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Qiao and Aunt Liu have always been friends, and today's friendship can be seen, and they even take care of other people's housework......"
Mrs. Xue said, slowly walked in front of Duan Yulan, looked at the red gold flowing snow hairpin above her head, and said warmly:
"The second lady's hairpin is really beautiful...... This hairpin, I have seen it in the Jade Pavilion, I think it is very good-looking, but I am old, I don't admire each other, and the Wenxuan brothers have not married a wife, so it is a pity that I did not buy it back, but unexpectedly, I saw it on the head of the second lady today...... Second Miss, did your father give you this hairpin? ”
Duan Yulan raised her head and said proudly:
"This hairpin was bought for me by my mother......"
Jasper Pavilion, jewelry has always been expensive, how many famous daughters, in order to ask for a hairpin, do not hesitate to spend a thousand gold, and now, the lady from Duan Mansion has this jewelry, her aunt also said that Duan Zheng is harsh?
When Liu Rong saw Mrs. Xue approaching Duan Yulan, she immediately felt that something was wrong in her heart, and hurriedly called:
"Lan'er ......"
However, Mrs. Xue's body deliberately blocked Liu Rong's sight, and then turned to praise:
"And the red gold bracelet of the second lady...... This starry fairy skirt...... Tsk, this material, lined with the flower-like face of the second lady, really complements each other...... I'm so envious......"
Mrs. Xue's eyes flickered, and she asked kindly:
"Second Miss, did your aunt help you place this?"
When Duan Yulan heard that someone praised her beauty, she immediately glanced at Duan Qingming proudly:
"Madame is right, this is all my mother's ......"
Xue Fu suddenly realized:
"Second Miss's aunt, I really love Second Miss......"
The meaning of Mrs. Xue's words, everyone thought about it!
At this moment, Xue Ninglan smiled and grabbed Duan Qingming's hand, and said with a smile:
"Mother, look at it, how much the aunt of the second lady loves her, I don't have these things......"
After speaking, he turned to Duan Qingming and smiled:
"Sister Qingming, I haven't seen any of the jewelry in your makeup box...... Yes, it's just the old ...... that Madame left you before. Why, isn't it true that your aunt in Duan's Mansion buys jewelry equally, and everyone has it? ”
Nie Caiyue smiled on the side:
"Yes, no matter what jewelry my mother has, the eldest sister, the second sister and I are all in one set, never partial, and never talk about any distinction between concubines and concubines......"
Mrs. Xue and Xue Ninglan, you said a word, I said a word, and Liu Rong's face turned pale, and she couldn't say a word anymore!
And Duan Yulan knew that she had fallen into Xue Fu's trap, stomped her feet, and couldn't say anything!
Duan looked displeased and looked at Liu Rong - this Liu Rong's partiality is really over!
Duan Qingming took a step forward and smiled faintly:
"My aunt is in charge of the middle feed in the house, and it has always been fair, but Qingming doesn't like these things, so she buys less...... Besides, with my mother's relics to wear, it's like seeing my mother, and my heart is also very happy! ”
Duan Qingming's words made Liu Rong's face pale again. And Duan Zheng looked at his daughter, who knew the general situation, and his eyes also showed pity!
At this moment, I only heard Mrs. Qiao sneer:
"Everyone is talking about koi, why did it go around the clothes again......"
After a pause, he said slightly:
"I have often heard people say that this koi fish is a good thing, if there is joy in the house, it will surround it, and if it is an ominous person, flying into trouble, it will all die...... It seems that there are some ominous people in this mansion who are about to invite trouble......"
Mrs. Qiao's words made everyone look at each other - you must know that whether it is an ominous person or a flying disaster, it is very taboo for these high-ranking children. Now, everyone's eyes looked at Duan Qingming, and they changed a little!
In the crowd, I don't know who said again:
"Yes, I heard that more than ten years ago, outside the suburbs of Beijing, there was a family surnamed Yan, because all the koi in the pond died overnight, so that night, there were more than 100 people in the house, and none of them were spared!"
Hearing the just right words, Mrs. Qiao immediately nodded:
"Yes, yes, the koi fish swim very happily in my house, so there are happy events in the house......"
What Mrs. Qiao said was the son of Master Qiao's concubine. The birth of a concubine is a taboo for Mrs., but this Mrs. Qiao said that it was a happy event. At this time, as soon as she said it, everyone couldn't help but chuckle!
Duan Zheng frowned, looked at Mrs. Qiao, and said with some displeasure:
"Madam, please be careful!"
Mrs. Joe sneered:
"General Duan, the so-called loyalty is against the ear, if the adults don't believe it, it's understandable, the concubine is a good person in vain!"
Good? lest the world be a traitor!
Mrs. Nie sneered, but she and Duan Fu originally had a very shallow relationship, so it was not suitable for interjection at this time, she was not suitable, but Mrs. Xue did not shy away from it. At that moment, Mrs. Xue smiled coldly and said:
"I said that Mrs. Qiao is here to congratulate her, or is she here to stir up the scene? Today is the banquet of the eldest lady of the family, but what is your intention in choosing the dead, in terms of destroying the door? ”
