"Fart!" Dong Xuanying let out a sneering laugh, "Four girls enter the palace as mothers? Mama Gu, you always poured too much yellow soup and stuffed cotton in your ears! ”

"How can there be such a reason," Mama Ju also said, "The fourth lady is only fifteen, and she has never been selected as a show girl, how can she enter the palace?" Being a mother is even more nonsense, our eldest lady is just a noble concubine, and there are only so many concubines in the palace! ”

Mama Gu hurriedly said: "It's true, the slave maid heard it with her own ears!" ”

"Heard? Listen to whom? Song threw away the Buddhist scriptures and leaned back in his chair.

"Miss Fourth said."

"Huh," Dong Xuanying said disdainfully, "she said you believe it?" Tomorrow she also said that she is going to enter the palace to be the queen, and you believe it? ”

"The slave and maid are not confused," explained Mama Gu, "although these words came from her mouth, they were not specifically spoken, and the slave and maid came back from eavesdropping outside the window!" ”

"Oh?" Song raised his eyebrows and said, "You say." ”

Mama Gu said: "That's the case, the slave maid arrived at Fengyuzhai and said that the lady wanted to see the fourth lady, let me hurry up." Unexpectedly, all the maids there were lazy, and they didn't pass it on, only saying that the fourth lady was tired all day long and had fallen asleep. But the fourth lady's room is still lit up! So the slave wanted to go up and knock on the door, but she heard it through the window, and the fourth lady said that the old lady asked her to paint her nails red! ”

Dong Xuanying said: "What's the matter, it may be that the Queen Mother is approachable, but if I enter the palace, the Queen Mother still prefers me." ”

Mama Gu made a fuss and gestured and said: "The Queen Mother also rewarded a box of silver ingots, and the fourth lady only ate one meal and asked the maid to reward the kitchen with forty taels!" She didn't want to use a towel to wipe her hair, she wanted to use the softest silk cloth, and without saying a word, she reamed the best skirt to wrap her hair! Her maid was so angry that she looked like she had too much silver and couldn't burn it. ”

Dong Xuanying frowned and said, "Four girls, are you crazy?" Could it be that she really won the favor of the Queen Mother and wanted to enter the palace as a concubine? ”

Song's complexion also changed slightly, and he said slowly: "I didn't expect the four girls to have such an opportunity." ”

Mama Gu asked, "Do you want to go again and call her over for questioning?" ”

Song shook his head: "According to what you said, she thinks that she is about to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, I am afraid that she will not take the people in this family in her eyes." ”

Dong Xuanying said hatefully: "Hmph, the fourth girl was originally a stupid goose, but recently she has become more and more presumptuous, and she didn't even ask her mother to come, does she still want to live in this house?" ”

Mama Gu said: "If she is like what she said, she will enter the palace as the master in a few days, of course she will no longer live in the Dong Mansion for a long time." ”

Song smiled meaningfully and said, "If you want to go, you can go?" Not necessarily. ”

At this time, Mama Ju interjected: "The fourth lady's tail is up to the sky, and she can still beat it slowly, but the single girl was left in the palace by the queen mother, so what can I do?" ”

Dong Xuanying remembered the sad thing, shed a little tears, and said sadly: "Mother, you have to be the master of your daughter, this old woman's face, my daughter doesn't want to use it more for a moment!" ”

Song said steadily: "Don't worry, I've known Lu Nian all my life, I know her, and she knows me." She will never betray me. ”

"But what about the single language?" Dong Xuanying couldn't help but feel anxious, and speculated, "Did she like it more and more when she looked in the mirror, and wanted to keep it for herself, so she didn't leave the palace?" ”

"No," said Song, "Shan Yutang has a need for Dharma, and she still has a lot of places to use Dharma." Don't worry, Xuanying, if you are not completely sure, your mother will not have such an idea. ”

Ju Mama also advised: "Although Miss puts her heart back in her stomach, the surname Shan is not so bold, even if she wants to be younger, it is not difficult to find another girl who is smart, and it is not difficult to ask Lu Nian to help change her face." She didn't dare to offend the entire Dong family and the Song family because she coveted a face. ”

Dong Xuanying felt justified and went back to Jinchun Garden to rest.

********

In the early morning of the next day, the old lady asked Dong Qianmo to speak.

Dong Qianmo stopped dressing up, and when he arrived at Yihe Garden, there was already a room full of people.

A card table was set up in the back hall, and the old lady, Dong Taishi, Song and Dong Lianyue were wiping dominoes.

Aunt Tang sat on the Arhat Collapse at the other end of the room, and as soon as Dong Qianmo stepped into the threshold, Aunt Tang looked at her with a cold gaze, and the expression on her face was smiling.

Dong Qianmo smiled back, greeted and asked, "Why does my aunt sit here alone to enjoy the coolness?" Even my father personally went into battle to wipe the cards, and my aunt didn't try her luck! ”

Aunt Tang seemed to have sour teeth, grinding her back molars and saying, "What good luck can I have?" I can't get what I should take, and I can't get it, and I can't beat it with eight poles. Can you still count on luck out of thin air? ”

Dong Qianmo was brainless when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Who made my aunt unhappy?" Tell me, I'll help my aunt come up with an idea to get your share back. ”

"Hmph," Aunt Tang said sourly, "I'm just afraid that if I say it, Fourth Miss, you can't wipe it off your face." ”

"Something to do with me?" Dong Qianmo thought for a while, and thought of the joints, "What my aunt said, isn't it the Shijing fish tank that is now in my yard?" What does my aunt mean that it should have belonged to you, but it was carried to my yard by mistake? With that, she sat down in the corner of the Luohan Collapse.

Aunt Tang was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that what she wanted to mention in a roundabout way, Dong Qianmo didn't pretend to be stupid at all, and quickly found out.

The hostility in her heart went for two minutes, and Aunt Tang sat close to Dong Qianmo, lowered her voice, and didn't let the old lady and others who wiped the cards over there hear, and said: "Fourth Miss, you are a smart girl, and you speak happily, so Aunt Tang will tell you the truth." ”

"Auntie, please speak." Dong Qianmo smiled like spring rain.

"Last afternoon, Yuzhang Wangfu sent supplements and gifts......

Aunt Tang glanced in the direction of the old lady and whispered, "A long gift list, including mountain ginseng, deer antler, hump, bear paw, bee milk and other things, the post presented by the palace housekeeper clearly states that it is a little careful, filial piety to the old lady, this I am not greedy." But at the end of the gift list, a stone view fish tank was written, 'Give it to Miss Dong Fu to enjoy', and the old lady didn't say a word and let people carry it away to the wind and rain - Miss Four, you said that you can't be angry! ”

"There is such a thing!" Dong Qianmo's eyes were full of surprise, "Old lady, how can she be like this!" ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Aunt Tang whispered angrily, "Miss Dongfu, there are more than a few people, and there are four people in the family who have not yet left the cabinet." To count less, doesn't it refer to the immortal pei who is discussing marriage with the prince and has moved to live in the palace garden? ”

"It's natural, my aunt has a point." Dong Qianmo deeply agreed.

The old lady was far away from their card table, and there was a hundred treasure grid in the middle of the two rooms, and the people who played the cards were talking about them, so that they could not hear the conversation here.

"Look, the fourth lady also thinks so, so it can be seen that I am not wrong," Aunt Tang said indignantly, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is something that the prince gave to Xianpei, I am Xianpei's mother, and I should keep it for Xianpei." Even if I am an aunt and can't afford such a precious treasure, it should be kept by the old lady for Xianpei, Fourth Miss, are you right? ”

"No matter how right," Dong Qianmo wondered, "why did the old lady carry the things that should have been my aunt to my yard?" ”

"Alas," Aunt Tang sighed, "I pondered, the old lady saw that the fish tank was full of colorful gems, and knew that it was worth a lot, so she didn't give me the things, but gave them to the fourth lady." ”

"What is the reason for this?" Dong Qianmo tilted his head, puzzled, "Does it look like I'm short of money?" ”

"No," Aunt Tang said, "If you want to be poor, I have more money than anyone else, it's not a matter of money, but the old lady's selfish feelings...... I owe you Miss Four. Therefore, the good things sent by the palace will be deducted from the immortal pei, and you will be given first. ”

Dong Qianmo said in a manic voice: "There will never be such a thing again, my aunt must have misunderstood the old lady, the old lady hurt the third sister from the bottom of her heart, how could she deduct her things?" ”

At this time, Zong Xiangyue, the aunt in the old lady's room, came to serve tea, and Aunt Tang lowered her head and embroidered her clothes for a while.

Waiting for Zong Xiangyue to walk away, she continued: "That Shijing fish tank is too rare, don't say we haven't seen it, even the well-informed old lady knows that it is a treasure." The old lady thought about it, it was you who had a marriage contract with the prince, and you came out to give us the three girls, if it was uneven, these things would have been yours. ”

"Heh......" Dong Qianmo smiled and listened.

"The old lady believes in Buddhism and has a good heart," Aunt Tang sighed, "she thought about it for a while, so she sent it to you." Yesterday I wanted to argue, but the old lady didn't even give me a chance to speak, and yawned and threw me out. ”

"Auntie, don't worry," Dong Qianmo said thoughtfully, "I'll tell the old lady when I go back, let someone carry the fish tank to your yard." ”

"You...... Is this true? Aunt Tang looked at Dong Qianmo suspiciously.

"There is no truth in it."

"But, I'm afraid that the old lady won't agree, right?" Aunt Tang frowned worriedly.

"It's okay," Dong Qianmo thought for a while and said, "I'll tell the old lady, I calculated a hexagram in the palace a while ago, and some masters said that I committed a water ghost this year, and I can't get close to a place with a lot of water, and that big fish tank with a stone view is not suitable for me to put in my yard." Auntie's Zhiluo residence has a wall of vines, and it is the most durable with a fish tank. ”

"This, how embarrassing is this......" Aunt Tang showed a touched face, "I didn't expect the fourth miss to be so reasonable, I have always watched you grow up, and the fourth miss is the most amiable and reasonable." ”

"It's a family affair, and harmony is the best." Dong Qianmo echoed.

"Then, please leave this matter to Miss Four."

"Auntie, don't worry."

"Huh-" Aunt Tang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when Dong Qianmo first entered the door, she had a suspicion in her heart, and she didn't give her any good looks.

At this time, Aunt Tang opened her words, and Aunt Tang smiled expectantly, and explained, "It's not that my aunt is greedy for money and wants to dominate everything she sees, but as the third lady's mother-in-law, I have to plan everything for her." Her dowry is thin, I won't help her save some more, and she will officially enter the palace in the future, and she will make people laugh. ”

"Qianmo can save it," Dong Qianmo said, "With a mother like my aunt, the third sister is really happy." ”

"Alas, in fact, a few years ago, my aunt herself also had a valuable dowry, and later ......" Aunt Tang's eyes flashed a trace of inconspicuous hatred, and quickly hid it, "Forget it, the past is not to be tied, fortunately, your third sister is very competitive, and she has made great contributions to her husband's family before she got married, and the future days can be regarded as a finger!" ”

Dong Qianmo said softly: "The third sister has a finger to rely on, which means that the aunt has a finger to rely on, and Qian Mo hasn't had time to congratulate you yet." ”

Aunt Tang couldn't help but be proud in her heart, and she covered her smile and said, "Xianpei married well, Fourth Miss, you also have a share of credit, and you will definitely thank you in the future." ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Aunt is polite. ”

At this time, my aunt Zong Xiangyue came over and told Dong Qianmo: "The old lady called the fourth lady over." ”

Aunt Tang was still not at ease, so she took Dong Qianmo's arm again, and whispered in her ear: "The matter of the fish tank, it's really not that my aunt is stingy, I'm afraid that the old lady has set a precedent this time, and the dowry sent to the palace in the future, we Xianpei won't even see it." One yard to one yard, I promise to Miss Fourth your thanks, and I will definitely honor it after Xianpei gets married! ”

Dong Qianmo nodded, smiled like the light of spring dawn, and replied: "Auntie, you don't need to say it, Qianmo will definitely help you achieve your wish." ”
