Chapter 156: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
The more Hongshang thought about it, the more angry she became, and the little maid who happened to serve accidentally broke a blue and white porcelain cup, which was her favorite style, and it was just that set in total, which looked decent, but now it was broken, and this whole set could not be used, so as not to be seen and laughed at her.
The little maid was so frightened that she knelt directly on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy, "The slave is wrong, the slave is wrong." ”
"You little, you can't even do such a trivial thing!" Hongshang was holding back her stomach and had no place to spill, but it happened that the maid bumped into her, she reached out and twisted the little girl's arm fiercely, "Even you are bullying me, don't you see that I am not favored, and you want to climb the high branches!" ”
The little maid's eyes were red, and she shook her head with tears while enduring the pain, "The slave doesn't think so, master, you will spare the slave and maid this time." ”
"You want to be beautiful." Hongshang increased her strength again, gritting her teeth as if she was going to tear the little girl apart and eat it.
The little maid was so frightened that she turned pale but gritted her teeth and didn't dare to cry, Aunt Hong has a bad temper, she has always liked to beat and scold the maid, if she is honest and let her vent for a while, it will pass, but if she dares to shed tears and provoke her unhappy, I am afraid that the future will be even more ruthless.
Hongshang took the little maid out of anger, but she still felt unhappy in her heart, her eyes stared at the candle dripping with wax in the room, her eyes were bright, she didn't know what to think, the little girl's face was frightened, and her lips trembled and she didn't dare to speak.
It just so happened that at this time, the next person reported that Lu Ning was coming.
No matter how vicious Hongshang is in private, she is still willing to pretend to be generous and benevolent on her face, just like Lu Ning will come over, although she is unhappy in her heart, she will not lose face in front of outsiders.
"Get down, know what to say, if you dare to talk nonsense, be careful with your skin!"
The little maid was about to be amnestied, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The slave understands, the slave and the maid will not say anything." ”
The little girl here just got up and wiped her tears, and Lu Ning lifted the curtain and entered the house.
"What is my sister up to?" Lu Ning smiled, she looked at the little girl with her head down, the tears on her cheeks had not been wiped clean, and she knew that it was Hongshang who was in a bad mood and scolded someone.
"I'm an idler, what else can I do, except for eating and sleeping all day long." Hongsheng said in a strange way, squinted at the little maid who was still standing in the house, and said angrily, "What are you doing stupidly, didn't you see Aunt Green coming, go pour tea!" ”
I really don't know how to find such an eyeless person to serve her, the whole person is like a log.
The little maid trembled for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid will go now." ”
After saying that, the little maid hurriedly saluted and retreated, and Lu Ning looked at her back and curled her lips again.
"You're just in time, I'm looking for you." Hongsheng will be irritable, and she is thinking about finding someone to talk about and think of a way.
"I guess it's for Dongyuan." Lu Ning said in a low voice.
Hongshang was slightly stunned, and then nodded, "Exactly, you must have heard that there is a new reward system in the kitchen, and now everyone is in a hurry to be courteous, what a bunch of villains who see money." ”
"I'm here for that, too." Lu Ning said.
"I really can't imagine that she can come up with such an idea, not only did it make those people unable to make trouble, but she also took people into her hands, which is really a double win." Although Hongshang was angry, she had to admit that Bai Zhi's idea this time was very good, and she might not be able to think of such a good way if she changed places.
"Sister, do you really think she came up with this idea?" Lu Ning smiled faintly, with obvious contempt in his eyes, "I'm afraid there is another master behind it." ”
"You mean......" Hongshang suddenly thought of Lord Lu, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high, Lord Lu doted on Aunt Bai, and it was not impossible to help her when she was embarrassed.
But as soon as she thought that this might be more difficult for her to accept than the method that Bai Zhi had come up with herself, Hongsheng's face suddenly sank.
The little maid outside the house knocked on the door and came in, bowed her head and gave two cups of tea.
Lu Ning looked at the little girl with red and swollen eyes, and asked with a smile, "Why are your eyes red, you cried just now?" ”
The little maid just wanted to open her mouth, but a red dress swept over her, and the little maid suddenly trembled, "No, no, accidentally the sand got into the eyes." ”
"I see, it's really windy these days." Lu Ning said casually, and then picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.
Seeing that the master in the house didn't need herself, the little maid bowed and bowed and withdrew.
When the others stood outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and rubbed her arm, and stood at the door with her head down.
The handkerchief on Hongsheng's hand in the house was almost broken, Lu Ning glanced at her, put down the teacup and said, "Sister, the third lady gave the task when we came, and now a few months have passed, but we haven't even come close to Lord Lu, if we return to the capital, I'm afraid the third lady will be angry again." ”
The red clothes and the green condensation were both bought by the third lady Qiao from outside, and the deed of sale is still in Qiao's hands, and Qiao's task at the beginning was to serve Lu Zhiyuan well, so that they could report to Qiao Qiaoshi at a critical time.
Qiao's eldest brother, Qiao Shi, poured private salt in Jinling, and Lu Zhiyuan was ordered to check the private salt this time, and the two were bound to be involved.
Speaking of Qiao's arrangement, Hongsheng felt even more irritable, how could she forget that Qiao's promised the two of them that as long as the private salt matter was done, she would return the deed of sale to the two of them after returning to Beijing.
Both men came with a lot of hope, but as a few months passed, they were both a little disappointed.
"What do you say?" Hongshang will have no idea, if Qiao's knows that the two of them can't do anything, they may not sell it to them when the time comes.
Qiao's is Lu Zhiyuan's stepmother, even if she is not biological, Lu Zhiyuan will not disobey in terms of face, at least she will not oppose Qiao's for the sake of the two of them.
The unfavored concubines, which big families don't sell a few a year, and in the end they all end up miserable, and many of them have entered the land of fireworks, and they have survived by selling laughter.
Both of them seemed to remember what happened to them in the future, and their faces were not good-looking.
"There is indeed a way, but it depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice it, sister." Lu Ning was silent for a moment, and the expression on her face became serious, "But in the end, this method is a failure, and my sister must be prepared." ”
"You say!" Hearing her like this, Hongshang couldn't help frowning, "As long as I can get Lord Lu's favor, what if I want half my life!" ”
"Since my sister has this determination, then my sister won't sell it. In a few days, the Buddha's birthday is coming, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to do something. Lu Ning got up and walked to the side of the red dress, put her ear to the plan and carefully explained the plan, and then quietly waited for the red dress to decide.
Hongshang was impulsive but not stupid, she listened to Lu Ning's plan, and looked at her gaze with a scrutiny, "Do you really want to help me, or do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of me?" ”
This is already a clear suspicion of Lu Ning's bad motives, and indeed according to Lu Ning's method, it is very likely that Hongshang will not even be able to save his life, but it is also possible that he will fly directly to the branch from now on.
One thought of the sky, one thought of the earth.
The danger is great, but the temptation is also great.
"Sister, don't worry, what's in it for me to get rid of you?" Lu Ning was not angry at all in the face of her suspicions, and was still smiling, "My appearance is not outstanding, even if I get rid of you, there will be others coming in in the future, I can't get rid of them one by one." And you and I are from the same place, if I had to choose one person to follow, I would rather follow you, sister. As long as you gain power, sister, I will naturally benefit from it in the future. All I want is glory and wealth, and I dare not rob or take away the rest. ”
She bluntly said her words clearly, which made Hongsheng's hesitation in her heart reduce a lot, but she still hesitated, after all, the danger of the matter was too great, and it was worth the gamble on her.
"My sister is beautiful, what she lacks is just an opportunity, as long as Lord Lu can see the beauty of her sister, she will definitely love others more." Lu Ning said again.
Hongshang also remembered that Lord Lu came, and she secretly promised from the first time she entered the mansion that day, this person is so good, if she doesn't fight for it, she will definitely be unwilling in her heart.
"Okay, you go and arrange it, just on the Buddha's birthday." Hongshang gritted her teeth and clenched her hand into a fist.
Seeing this, Lu Ning also smiled, and the two talked about the plan again, and Lu Ning said goodbye and left.
Out of the courtyard, it was already empty outside.
The little maid outside the house stood by the door with her head down, and Lu Ning stopped when she passed by, "What's your name?" ”
The little maid replied tremblingly, "The slave is purple." ”
"I have ointment in my house, and someone will bring it to you later, wipe it and it will be swollen early tomorrow morning. A girl's tears are precious, and you must not shed tears at will. Her tone was tepid, with a touch of compassion.
The little maid lowered her head, and she just bowed her head and thanked her, "The slave has thanked Aunt Green." ”
Lu Ning smiled, turned his head and commanded the maid behind him, and then walked away.
On the other side, Bai Zhi was lying lazily on the bed, lying in the man's arms, holding a handful of hair casually, and making circles on the man's chest for a while.
"Don't make a fuss!" Lu Zhiyuan scolded in a deep voice, with an uncertain look in his eyes.
Bai Zhi pursed her lips and smiled happily, her hand movements had no intention of stopping, but her mouth was still in a lazy tone, "I really want to go to the temple to offer incense in a few days, if I don't go, I can't do it." ”
It's not interesting to burn incense and worship the Buddha, she doesn't want to go at all.
Lu Zhiyuan snorted, knowing her careful thoughts, "There is a temple fair outside the temple on the Buddha's birthday, and I will accompany you to the temple fair after I am done." ”
Bai Zhi immediately smiled when she heard that there was a temple fair, "Then I'm going, I'm going." ”
"What a heartless glutton!" Lord Lu sneered, then reached out and scooped her into his arms and hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
Outside the window, the night was thick, and the occasional wind blew the dark clouds in the sky, blocking the light of the moon a little, revealing only the circle of moon halo that seemed to be far and near.
