After the incident in the ancestral hall, the mansion was stopped for a few days, and Chu Xi simply put everything aside and just waited for what was going to happen next.

The old lady of the Yunshang Mansion family has a big birthday, the old lady of the Chu family and her have been friends since childhood, and a group of people naturally want to go to celebrate her birthday, and the old lady sent her newly cut clothes the night before, except for Chu Zhenzhen's, the rest are pink or blue.

Chu Xi got a royal blue wide-sleeved Hangzhou silk embroidered long skirt, and Lu Ya was a little angry: "Why did the old lady send such a color skirt, the girl is young, her body is thin, and the jewelry is not matched, how can she afford this dress, wouldn't it be a joke if Ming'er went." ”

Chu Xi sat on the warm couch, holding the book and could see it, hearing the complaint of the green sprouts, she glanced at the skirt and smiled, the old lady of the Yun family said that it was strange, she loved any color, but she didn't like the blue, and Ming'er would be unhappy when she saw it. Grandmother is a forbearant person, and she will never do anything that hurts her face because she doesn't like herself.

"Who sent the dress?"

Green Sprout thought for a while: "It's the spring grass girl next to the old lady." ”

The smile on Chu Dai's face became bigger and bigger, this Chu Dai'er really has some ability, and the scene of just a few days has made the first-class maid ring beside the old lady disgusted with herself.

After thinking about it, Chu Ji said, "Which is the most active girl ring in the outer courtyard?" ”

Green Bud frowned: "Who else can there be, isn't it Hongmei who eavesdropped on your conversation with your cousin outside that day." Green Sprout's mouth pouted, and when she heard Chu Xi ask, she became more and more interested in accusing her of her 'crime': "I wandered around inside and outside our room all day long, and sometimes I saw her trying to sneak into the young lady's room, if it weren't for the slave and maid to look closely, who knows what she would take here and what she would leave behind." She has heard a lot about these pickled things, and naturally she has a few eyes.

Chu Xi looked at her and bent her eyes: "In this case, I asked her to go to the old lady's place, and said that I wanted to borrow a set of ruby heads from the old lady, so that I could match my skirt." ”

"Ruby?" Green Sprout was puzzled: "Isn't it a sapphire, besides, the big red with sapphire blue, how ugly it is, besides, let that girl go, it's better to go to the slave maid, so that she won't break the hairpin." ”

Chu Xi raised her hand: "You just have to go, if Hongmei asks you what color the clothes are, don't tell her." ”

Seeing that she didn't say much, Green Sprout had to go down and pass the word.

Hongmei listened to Lu Ya's words, and really inquired in every way: "Good sister, is Miss's dress red?" ”

Green Sprout snorted: "Why do you ask so much?" Miss tells you to go, and you go. After that, she turned around and left, with these people who hurt Miss, she really doesn't have a good temper.

Hongmei snorted at the back of the green bud, rolled her eyes, turned her head and went to the old lady's Ronghua Courtyard.

With his head down, he walked through the verandah and then entered the flower gate, and he was so cold outside that his hands and feet were numb before he had to be summoned.

As soon as she entered the room, Hongmei said: "Old lady, my eldest lady said to borrow a set of blue gemstone heads from you, so that they can match the skirt you sent?" ”

The old lady's face sank: "Sapphire? ”

Hongmei trembled, and hurriedly lowered her head: "Yes, yes, the eldest lady ordered it like this." ”

The old lady turned her head to look at Bai Xue, who was also puzzled, and lifted it: "You go back, and I'll send something over when you turn around." ”

"Yes." Hongmei saw that the goal was achieved, so she went out happily, first reported to Qin Xue, and received the reward before returning to the Zhujin Pavilion.

"Ouch, but the slave and maid have froze to death, the old lady's shelf is very big, and the wind and snow are big today, and the slave and maid have been waiting outside for half an hour." Hongmei stood in the room and said to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi smiled: "I've worked hard for you today, and when I get the monthly example, I will reward you." ”

Hongmei pursed her lips, gave a perfunctory salute and walked out, and when she went out, she didn't forget to publicize how stingy Chu Xi was, and she didn't even give a reward.

Green Sprout was so angry that her face turned blue: "She's just an inferior girl, so slandering her master so ignorant of the rules, see if I don't screw her ears." ”

Chu Xi smiled and shook her head, and after a while, Bai Xue came over in person, bringing two mothers-in-law, each holding a big brocade box.
