Chapter 140: Zhang Liang has a plan



The girls laughed happily for a while, only to notice Wen Hui's abnormality, and couldn't help but quiet down.

Jiang Yao noticed that Wen Hui looked at her with a little unkindness, and when she looked down and thought about it, she also knew a little, and couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart, but she showed a shy smile on her face: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Why do you see me like that? ”

Wen Hui smiled coldly: "It's nothing, I just want to take a good look at my eldest cousin, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and it seems that he has really grown up as a different person."

Jiang Yao's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong?" My cousin taught me that I wouldn't dare to do it again. Her eyes were red, "My cousin also knows that I have never been obscured, and it was my cousin and Sister Zheng who took care of me everywhere, so I didn't get into a big disaster." If I am careless, I say something wrong, or I offend someone without knowing it...... Cousin, for the sake of me growing up with you, point me out......"

She said it so pitifully, and she had the affection of growing up together, Wen Hui remembered that she was always attentive, and she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. Thinking about this cousin's temperament, she is the most careful, and with her family background, if she doesn't rely on the Shilang Mansion, what good life can she live? But I know a few young ladies, talk and laugh in my spare time, it's okay to pass the time, if I really have to meet something, people don't look down on her probably because she is not in Beijing, Zheng Lijun is busy learning etiquette, impatient to play with her, she has no one to take with her, she met Lin Meier by chance, and she is also diligent, not necessarily has the idea of betraying herself and climbing another high branch.

Thinking of this, Wen Hui's face turned around, and she said lightly: "There's nothing wrong with you, it's just that you live in my house now, what kind of letter do you have with Lin Mei'er?" I haven't heard you talk about this, and even if you want to correspond with her, what are you doing with the sisters in my house? It's all about the house, and you shouldn't tell outsiders about it. ”

Wen Yi was listening funny. Jiang Yao had already said that she had declined Miss Lin's invitation because she wanted to be with the daughters of the Gu family, so she sent a letter to explain the reason, and even so, of course, it was necessary to mention that the Gu family came to sisters. Besides, Miss Lin is not a man, so what does it matter if you mention this so-called "inner house matter" to her? Wen Hui is clearly picking a stone in an egg

Jiang Yao obediently admitted her mistake, and repeatedly promised that "I will not do it again", Wen Hui saw that she was obedient, her face became better, she glanced at Wen Juan and Wen Yi, and then lowered her voice and counted her: "I said this about you, not for other reasons, but you told Lin Mei'er about several sisters, she actually asked Princess Lu to give everyone a post The fifth sister is upside down, but the ninth sister and the tenth sister are not very suitable, especially the tenth sister, you got her a post, and the eleventh girl should talk again." What is the occasion of Princess Lu's tea party? Could it be that even the maids can come and go at will? It's spread out, the princess has no face, and our family has to eat and hang."

Wen Yi frowned, turned her head to look at Wen Ya, but found that she was supposed to be sitting in the corner, but she didn't know where to go at this time.

Wen Juan got up suddenly, her little face tense: "What does Sixth Sister mean by this?" I'm not invited by you in the next post, or I'm embarrassed, and I can't throw it on your head."

Wen Hui glanced at her: "I'm just telling the truth, the tea party in Luwang's Mansion has never invited a concubine from an ordinary family for decades, even if it is a prince's family, only the young lady who is raised in front of the main room as a concubine is qualified to attend the meeting." Therefore, I said a long time ago, you can't go," and Zhengse said to Jiang Yao, "You didn't tell Lin Mei'er about this?" Be careful, if you make a mistake, when the time comes, the Lu Wangfu will know, Lin Mei'er will naturally refuse to admit her mistake, and you will have to take the guilt."

Jiang Yao shook her head timidly and said, "How could it be?" I said it all in the letter......" she glanced at Wen Juan carefully, "but I didn't expect Sister Mei'er to send a post over...... I heard that this year, because there are many young ladies from official eunuch families in Beijing, the tea party is grander than in previous years, and a few young ladies from the concubines have also been invited......" She hesitated for a moment, and her voice was lowered, "This time...... I heard that the three princes and several princes and princes are going to ...... There are many people who go for the seats of Liangdi and children......"

Wen Hui's face turned white, and she knew it in her heart. Since it is the concubine of the crown prince or the prince, the concubines of the noble family may not be willing to put down their bodies, but the concubines are just right, so Princess Lu relaxed the requirements. She gritted her teeth secretly, but she didn't notice that Wen Juan raised her chin at her, but she just thought with chagrin: If those vulgar fans are favored by Zhu Jingcheng, won't it make people angry? Zheng Lijun has never come to visit, but her grandmother is just at home and is not allowed to go out, otherwise, if Zheng Lijun is invited to the palace to speak on her behalf, she still has a good chance to become Zhu Jingcheng's wife. After thinking about it, she finally made up her mind.

Just as he was about to raise his head to speak, the maid ring outside lifted the curtain of the warm pavilion, and Jiang walked in, followed by Aunt Yu and Wen Ya.

Jiang Shi smiled and asked, "I heard that the post from Lu Wangfu was delivered?" ”

Jiang Yao hurriedly greeted and replied, "Yes, aunt." The princess not only sent her cousin's post, but also several other sisters."

Jiang Shixi said: "This is a good thing? Our family has never had such a face, who has this blessing, and the young ladies of the whole family have received the post of Princess Lu? She looked at her daughter with pride, "Princess Lu has loved us Hui'er since she was a child, and if she changes someone else, she will never give this face."

Wen Hui's face turned red when she said this, she cleared her throat, and glanced at Wen Ya: "Why did the eleventh sister go out?" Could it be ...... Did you go to the complaint? ”

Wen Ya bit her lower lip lightly, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. Aunt Yu stepped forward, blocked her daughter, and said with a smile: "Miss Sixth misunderstood, Miss Eleven heard about such a happy event, so she immediately reported it to her wife, so that her wife also liked it." He said respectfully to Jiang's family, "Mrs. Qian'er has already instructed the needlework to make new clothes for Miss Six, and now that several young ladies have been invited, they naturally want to make clothes, but the time is too tight, I'm afraid it's too late for needlework." Would you like to go outside and find some good needlework masters? ”

Jiang Shi glanced at several nieces hesitantly: "The days are too tight, right?" With only three or four days of hard work, can you rush it out from outside? Don't delay the effort, why don't you just pick one or two good ones from your original clothes, right? I remember when I was in Binh Duong, my family made a few new clothes for a few children. Frankly speaking, she doesn't want her daughter's brilliance to be divided by the other sisters, Zheng Lijun is already a beauty, Wen Hui is not easy to overpower the other party, at most it is evenly divided, in this case, if you have to dress up a few nieces carefully, maybe it will affect Wen Hui.

Jiang Yao was the first to speak: "Before my father left home, he asked someone to make me two sets of new clothes, which is enough. ”

Wen Yi also said: "I got a few pieces of good material before, and the girls were idle on the road, so they all made it, and it was cold these days, so I just put it on." I don't have to make new ones either. She didn't ask to show her face at the tea party, as long as she wasn't rude. Besides, looking at the look of the eldest aunt, she didn't seem to be willing to put too much thought into others. She is the niece of the next room, and she is one level farther away than Wenxian Wenjuan, so why take advantage of the long room?

Wen Xian hesitated for a moment, and also declined. Wen Juan was a little disappointed, although she had a few new clothes, they were just what she wore when she went out to meet guests, and it was a little shabby when she went out to meet guests. But even my sister doesn't want new clothes, so why is she embarrassed to speak? She couldn't help but start to miss her mother-in-law, Duan, if Duan's was there, she could be coquettish to her and ask for a few new clothes.

Seeing that several nieces and nephews knew each other like this, Jiang couldn't help but smile on his face, and immediately promised to call someone to go to a few reliable ready-to-wear shops to pass on the shopkeepers, and send the best materials and tricks to the door for the nieces and nephews to choose, so that each of them could make two sets of new clothes and prepare for the New Year.

Wen Hui was a little unimpressed by this, since they all had to make clothes, why didn't her mother hurry up and take advantage of this time to do it, so that the sisters could also wear decent new clothes to attend the tea party? When the time comes, she will inevitably have to go with her sisters and cousins, and if people see that her sisters are wearing old clothes and mediocre materials, she will be laughed at

Thinking of this, she was a little depressed, and her gaze at Jiang Yao was annoyed. If it weren't for Jiang Yao's mouth, she would have been able to go to the tea party alone easily, and when the time came, she would have enough time to catch up with Zheng Lijun, and she would also have the opportunity to find Zhu Jingcheng, unlike now, she had to be with her sisters all the time, and she was not free

But Jiang Yao had already apologized, and besides, she didn't mean to. Wen Hui didn't want to blame her anymore, so she had to pour her anger on Wen Ya: "Why is your face so ugly?" Could it be that the Lu Wangfu didn't send you a post, are you unhappy? So deliberately play face to show us? ”

Wen Ya's eyes were red, and she bit her lower lip tightly: "I...... I didn't ......" Having said that, there was a bit of unwillingness in her eyes.

"Miss Six is too worried" Aunt Yu was anxious, and hurriedly interjected again, "Princess Lu's tea party has always only invited young ladies over the age of twelve. Didn't Miss Six pick up posts at this age back then? Miss Eleven hasn't passed her twelfth birthday yet, and no matter how envious she is, she doesn't dare to hope for it."

Wen Hui wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Jiang Shi: "Okay, she doesn't have that blessing, what are you angry with her?" The needle and thread man has sent a new dress, and you should try it and see if it fits. I also asked the shopkeeper of the treasure shop to send new goods to us from time to time, you have to be careful and pick a few pieces that match the clothes. Nothing else is left to worry about. After that, he glanced at Aunt Yu, "The business is important, the rules at home are a little messy, anyone can talk nonsense, when the business is over, let's rectify it well."

Aunt Yu's expression darkened, and she retreated silently. Wen Ya glanced at her mother distressedly, and almost bit her lower lip to bleed.

Wen Hui was pleasantly surprised to leave Wen Ya behind, went out with the Jiang family, and pulled Jiang Yao with her hand. What styles are fashionable in Beijing now, although she has heard about it, she is not as clear as Jiang Yao.

Wen Yi stayed in the warm pavilion, talked to Sister Wen Xian for a while, and listened to Wen Juan complain for half an hour, so she excused herself to be tired and retired first.

She took the hollyhock to the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, and couldn't help but sigh on the way. Dong Aoi smiled and whispered, "Miss, but are you worried about the things in this squire's house?" Actually, it has nothing to do with us, just ignore it. “

Wen Yi smiled slightly bitterly: "Although I don't want to pay attention to it, it's just that I'm in the game, I don't provoke others, and others will pull me up." For example, the post of the tea party, she never thought of going, but now she has to go - Princess Lu has made a post, who dares not to give face? That's just the limelight, she just needs to be honest with her sisters. On the bright side, she follows Wen Hui closely, and she can also stop the other party from messing around at any time.

Wen Yi suddenly paused. That Miss Lin ...... is so capable, just because Jiang Yao mentioned a few words about the Gu family sisters in the letter, she can ask for a post for them, but why did she do this? Jiang Yao...... Is it really just a few words about them in passing? Originally, she was worried that Wen Hui would be uncontrolled and would cause trouble at the tea party, but now, with the four Gu family sisters walking together, it is inconvenient for Wen Hui to act alone, which can be regarded as a constraint for her......

Wen Yi walked slowly, and couldn't help but suspect in her heart that Jiang Yao's move had other intentions...... Could it be that she saw that Wen Hui was abnormal?

Can't you...... In the past few days, Wen Hui has not actually been in front of the prince of Dongping in front of uninformed people......

Just as she was thinking, there was a human voice not far ahead, and she looked over and saw a touch of water red behind the pillars, as if a girl was talking to another woman dressed as a ring. She recognized that the red was the clothes Jiang Yao was wearing today.

The cold wind blew with a few words, and she vaguely heard what it was, "If my cousin behaves inappropriately...... "...... reported to Mrs. Tai", I couldn't help but be shocked, and found that the girl opposite Jiang Yao was a little like Xunmei in front of Wen Hui. She became more and more uneasy, and hurriedly pulled up the hollycrop and took refuge behind the moon gate next to her. After a while, when the two were gone, they came out, and their faces were cloudy.

Dong Que whispered: "Miss, the old man who is looking for plums...... It seems to be the eldest wife's companion room, and the Zhuangzi who manages the eldest wife's marriage. ”

Wen Yi turned his head and stared at her: "Don't make a noise about this matter, let's just pretend that we haven't seen it." Seeing that Dong Lai nodded in response, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled bitterly.

Jiang Yao...... Sure enough, it is not as simple as it seems, she dares to live in the squire's house alone with a nurse and a girl, and only let the housekeeper guard at home, and she faces her arrogant aunt and cousin every day, but she is still like a fish in water, how can she not rely on half of it?

Wen Yi remembered that she had lost her mother since she was a child, and she only depended on her father for her life, and she was very familiar with housework, and she had to be distracted to make friends with the ladies of the eunuch's house, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly. Jiang Yao's situation is not necessarily much better than herself, but she is much more thoughtful than herself. I really shouldn't rely on a few years old to underestimate others

Although I prefer to live a peaceful life, I ...... How can things be as good as they should be? Not to mention that Liu Dongxing has already decided to take the martial arts examination, and he will become an official in the future, as his wife, he will naturally be indispensable for entertainment......

Wen Yi blushed slightly, and secretly decided that she still had a lot to learn, and it was still early......
