Chapter 4 Situation
In the study in the front yard of the Xianwang Mansion, Feng Guqiu's bewitching face was cold, and his slender fingers were rhythmically tapping on the tabletop, and the follower Jingba who was standing below did not dare to raise his head, although the master's temper was not good before, he had never had such a gloomy face as today, perhaps it should be said that since the day the wedding was engaged, the master has not been happy.
"You saw the girl next to the princess out of the main courtyard with your own eyes?" The uncertain voice asked again.
Kyohachi nodded repeatedly, "But it's the kitchen that people go to." Seeing that the master raised his eyebrows, Jingba understood, and immediately explained, "The girl who was close to me has already been there." ”
It turns out that this is the place where Jingba has a lot of heart, since the master told him to pay attention to the movement in the main courtyard, he has never taken it lightly, if it wasn't wrong, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come in to see the master's cold face.
"She can't do anything as a rebel's daughter, so you can go down." Feng Guqiu didn't know what to think, and waved his hand impatiently.
Jingba retreated in response, and only wiped the cold sweat on his forehead when he left the study, and the leader of the guards, Long Hu, pursed his lips and smiled, and got a roll of his eyes from Jingba.
Shuizhu didn't smile when he arrived at the kitchen, but after asking a few words in a regular manner, he found an empty stove and stewed soup, and began to be a little wary of her being the girl next to the princess, and slowly relaxed her vigilance when she saw that she was so angry.
"Have you heard? What the prince likes is not the princess we married into the mansion, otherwise how would he go to Concubine Rong. The whispering laughter outside was heard by some little girls.
The mother-in-law in the kitchen was nervous, and when they turned their heads and saw that Shui Zhu didn't hear it, it was not good to reprimand the little girl.
No one stopped them, and the little girls also started talking, and they heard someone take over, "There are so many women in the house, the prince has always favored Concubine Rong, who doesn't know, you can't tell if you say this, the prince loves others in his heart, and I heard that our princess lived in the same room with the prince the night before her wedding." ”
The mother-in-law in the kitchen couldn't listen anymore, and went out with a big shovel in her hand, "Don't you have any skin?" ”
The little girls scattered in a hurry, and the mother-in-law who couldn't catch anyone in the kitchen stood there and scolded for a while, before entering the kitchen, glanced at Shuizhu with cold eyes, and turned around to get busy with the work in hand.
The kitchen has always been a place where people talk and talk together, and at this time I am really afraid of something, so many years, there has been no major incident, but now that the princess has entered the house, I hope it is still as peaceful as before.
I was afraid of something, and when I heard a burst of crisp laughter, a delicate-looking girl walked in, "Mother Wang, is the bird's nest stewed by our master?" ”
Then he swept the unfamiliar water bamboo and was slightly stunned, and then a smile rose on his face, "I feel familiar, which courtyard is my sister from?" ”
Shuizhu got up and blessed his body, "I am the dowry girl next to the princess, I don't know which courtyard my sister belongs to?" ”
The delicate girl's eyes flashed, and she smiled back, "I am Yeju beside Concubine Rong." ”
Concubine Rong Shuizhu is familiar with it, the princess went to Concubine Rong on the night she got married, and the people in the house before also responded to Concubine Rong, who was also a pivotal figure.
At present, on the first day of the wedding, I didn't go to see the princess, and the women in the house were the most aware of the wind and rudder, so naturally they didn't come, which is related to Ben not taking the princess in his eyes.
"It's polite," Shui Zhu returned the salute generously.
Yeju smiled and glanced at the stove, "Sister, what are you stewing?"
With a simple face, Shuizhu also grew up in the palace, but he didn't eat this set.
"It's just that our princess wants to eat something refreshing" replied without elaborating on what it was, and such a watertight answer made Yeju slightly embarrassed.
The mother-in-law over there saw it and hurriedly came over with the bird's nest, "Miss Yeju should take advantage of the bird's nest to go back." ”
Yeju thanked her, nodded to Shuizhu, and then left with the bird's nest.
The mother-in-law named Wang's mother sighed when she saw Shui Zhu, and then turned around and went to work with herself again.
Shuizhu knew that she had offended Yeju in the kitchen today, but she also had her own backbone, if she was really afraid of the other party and was low, she would rather offend the other party.
Holding the prepared sauerkraut soup, Shui Zhu just got out of the courtyard of the kitchen, and was bumped into by a group of people who came out of the corner, and before he could figure out what the situation was, he heard a woman's exclamation, she secretly screamed that it was not good, and knelt directly on the ground.
"What a thing that doesn't have long eyes, which courtyard are you from?" The woman's curses rang out.
In the palace, she can get the master's appreciation, Shui Zhu has always been a person who can observe words and feelings, she thought that she would be retaliated against offending Yeju, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Aunt Dong, are you okay?" A pleasant voice took over lightly.
"It's Sister Wang," the person who cursed sharply was Aunt Dong.
Wang walked over and helped her up, "I have a newly made skirt there, which is just right for Sister Dong, I originally planned to let someone send it over, but today, it's just right for someone to bring it to my sister." ”
There was more smile on Dong's face, but he still refused, "How embarrassing is this, it's just that clothes are a trivial matter, and it's not okay for people to bump around with hot soup now." ”
Obviously, he didn't let go of the water bamboo.
Wang smiled faintly, and didn't say much, but there was more sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Shui Zhu.
"Come on, pull this unruly girl down and punish her with a cane of twenty, and call all the people in the house who are not on duty to take a look, so that everyone can have a long set of rules." Not only did he have to beat people, but he also let people come to watch, and he didn't leave any dignity for Shuizhu.
Shuizhu clenched his teeth, and begged for mercy without making a sound, so that the Dong family, who had taken advantage, felt that although he had reached the peak, it was still like a punch on the cotton, and he was very upset.
Seeing that the people were taken away by the subordinates, the Wang family glanced at the soup on the ground, and blessed the Dong family, "Sister won't bother much." ”
Dong's has never put Wang's in his eyes on weekdays, speaking of which, according to his worth, Wang's is one layer higher than Dong's, Wang's is a young lady of the official family after all, although she is a concubine, but it is better than the daughter of Dong's businessman, but Dong's has always brought the characteristics of a businessman, and she feels superior to others, and she is the daughter of the family, and a Wang is a concubine, so she naturally looks down on it.
Wang's temperament is weak and he is a well-known good man in the house, and when he sees anyone who has something, he will go up to help, and at the beginning, he naturally let the Dong family treat her as a thorn in the flesh, and after a long time of contact, he also knew that she had no side heart, but that temperament, and he was too lazy to worry about her.
Don't look at Dong's bravadominia in the mansion, but he is the best at coaxing the side concubine, and having the side concubine as a backer behind him is also the reason why he can be so arrogant in the house.
But in the eyes of outsiders, this Dong family is just a dog raised by Concubine Rong, let her bite whoever she wants, only she herself can get into Concubine Rong's eyes as good luck.
When the water bamboo was brought to the big courtyard, Changdeng, where it had been placed, and after being pressed by the two girls, the people were also tied to it, and people gathered in the courtyard one after another, and Dong took the girl's hand and walked in.
Sitting on the Taishi chair, he took a sip of tea, "Hit." ”
The muffled sound of the crackling board hitting the meat came from the courtyard, only to go down, and the back of the water bamboo saw red on the dress, and the bloody scene made the people present all white-faced, and secretly admired this girl in their hearts, and they could not say a word when they were beaten.
"I said, why can't I find my girl, who is beating someone? Don't ask me to come and see the excitement" With a sneer, Mu Lingxue walked in the way the crowd gave way.
Dan lips are outward, Hao teeth are fresh inside, bright eyes are good, Jing Fu Chengquan, beautiful and beautiful, as soon as Mu Lingxue appeared, the shocked surroundings instantly calmed down, with a bright smile on her face, she believed that she had this ability with her appearance.
Obviously beautiful can't take her eyes off, but you can take a closer look at her dress, simple can't be simple, it can be seen that people are born beautiful, not set off by the outside.
"、、、 you" Dong was jealous when he saw the strange beautiful woman in front of him, and he couldn't remember when there was such a person in the mansion for a while.
Mu Lingxue didn't look at her, only glanced at the rose beside her, the rose was also used to seeing the fake tiger scene, and shouted coldly, "Bold, when you see the princess, you still have 'you' and 'mine', where did you learn the rules?" ”
As soon as she heard that it was the princess, Rose's voice was sharp, and the subordinates around her were afraid of being implicated, so they knelt on the ground in an instant, and only Dong was still sitting stiffly on the Taishi chair.
"Who is sitting in front of you? I haven't seen the princess yet" Rose was a bully and looked directly at the Dong family.
The Dong family stood up unwillingly, and made a blessing to the body, "The concubine Dong has seen the princess." ”
Mu Lingxue looked at her with a faint smile, her voice was softer like the moonlight in the night, "When did there be such a rule in the mansion that the concubine taught the people around the princess?" ”
Dong bit his lip and raised his head in disbelief, "The princess doesn't know if she doesn't know if it weren't for this slave who scalded the concubine with hot soup, although the concubine is so big that she can be an adult but a villain, but there are many people in this mansion, so wouldn't it be a mess of the rules of the mansion if you don't pursue it?" ”
"You have to be forgiving, Aunt Dong is half a master, why bother with a subordinate, and even if she is given a hundred guts, she doesn't dare to pour hot soup on her aunt, right?"
Mu Lingxue looked at her with a smile and deliberately bit the word 'splash'.
The Dong family was used to being willful before he got married, and after he arrived at the palace, he was also used to being spicy, and he didn't take Mu Lingxue in his eyes now, "I'm afraid that the princess is mistaken, but the concubine didn't say that this person deliberately threw it on the concubine." ”
Mu Lingxue waited for her to say this, "Oh, then this is even worse, our prince is known for being idle, and the sage is a virtuous and talented person, and there is a saying in ancient times that the virtuous minister is far from the villain, just because a subordinate accidentally bumped the soup into the concubine in the palace, he will be punished with this kind of stick, and isn't it insulting to the reputation of the prince to spread it?" ”
"What a pro-virtuous minister and a villain, the princess is really the first talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty." Feng Guqiu walked over with his signature smile.
