Chapter 155: After the Tea Party (Part II)

Shuangxi was startled, but quickly replied, "The slave doesn't know...... It was a girl who came, and said that she was waiting in front of Mrs. Dongyang Hou......"

It's only been a few hours since the tea party ended, and Mrs. Dongyang Hou sent someone at this time, I'm afraid that it's fake to ask for peace, and it's true to thank you, right? Maybe there's something else to ask?

Wen Yi suddenly remembered something: "Uncle and grandmother, call Cui Yu over, although it has been made clear, it is always appropriate to ask someone to take another look." ”

Old Madam Yu nodded, and then ordered double happiness: "Quickly invite people in" and let people pass on Cuiyu.

The Dongyang Hou Mansion sent a barberry. She first greeted Mrs. Yu, who politely greeted Mrs. Dongyang Hou and Miss Dongyang's body, and she replied: "Miss Miss today accidentally suffered a little cold in Luwang's Mansion, but fortunately there is no major problem, I have invited the doctor to come and take a look, and I grabbed the medicine and took it, I want to wake up tomorrow morning and be fine." However, Mrs. was a little worried about Miss, but she was sick of old age, and after the Duchess of Huguo heard about it, she specially sent someone to send a newly prepared pill, which was what Mrs. was used to eating on weekdays, and fried a bowl of hooked vines to eat, and it had calmed down. ”

Wen Yi's heart moved, although she didn't know what kind of pill the Duchess of Huguo sent, but the hook vine was scared to calm the liver and extinguish the wind, thinking that it was Mrs. Dongyang Hou who knew that her daughter was almost in danger, and she was angry for a while, right? I heard that this lady was born in the Huguo Mansion, so the Duchess of Huguo sent pills, do you also know the truth?

In this way, the barberry spoke in such detail in front of them, which also made people have to be careful. If the Gu family has a deep relationship with the Dongyang Hou Mansion, it is obvious that they have no contacts, but she specially said it so carefully, with the temperament she showed in the Luwang Mansion, it is really strange.

Mrs. Yu's face was the same, and she smiled: "That's good, I also heard that Mrs. has an old disease, and after listening to the girl's words, I am worried, it is great that Mrs. can be safe and sound, and when the husband was in the early years, he was also quite familiar with the old marquis, but after he went, because I took the child back to my hometown, the two families were estranged, and the juniors were not sensible, and they didn't know how to greet me in their hometown, so they always remembered, but because of this old bone, they couldn't go far." Now it's not easy, both families have arrived in the capital, I just told my daughter-in-law before, pick a good day, let's go and see Mrs. and Miss Dongyang, so that the older generation has been friends for decades in vain, but I am old, and the days away from Beijing are also long, I am afraid that Mrs. and Miss will not look down on my wife, so I am embarrassed to disturb. ”

The old lady Gu was an official in the capital when he was young, and he did have dealings with the old marquis, but he couldn't say that he was familiar with each other, but it was just a social interaction on the scene. But Mrs. Yu said this, she is an elder, even if Mrs. Dongyang Hou is present, it is not easy to refute. Although it was the first time Xiao Bai heard about this incident, and he also knew that the Gu family and the Du family had always been estranged, he could only respond with a smile: "Mrs. Tai is too careful, our wife has never been easy to go out, except for a few Guogong mansions and Hou mansions in Beijing, when she rarely interacts with people, she is trying to talk to someone." If Mrs. Tai is free, just send someone to say, and our lady will definitely send a car to pick her up."

She was also polite when she said this, even if Mrs. Yu really wanted to go to Dongyang Hou's Mansion as a guest, it was impossible for her to call the host's house to pick her up. However, the old lady Yu heard a little bit of tone, and knew that the Dongyang Hou Mansion was very polite to the Gu family, and she was probably also grateful. You know, if it weren't for the nine girls who saved his daughter, at this moment, the Du family would not only lose a daughter, but also lose face in the old lady's heart, so she smiled kindly: "I heard that at the tea party in Luwang's Mansion today, my nephew's daughter was taken care of by the young lady, I am so grateful." ”

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Mrs. Tai is right, our young lady said that today is thanks to the ninth lady in the house to take care of it" She turned to Wen Yi and saluted solemnly, "Miss specially instructed the slave maid to thank Miss Nine." ”

Wen Yi hurriedly supported her, glanced at the old lady from the corner of her eye, although she was not very happy in her heart, she still didn't dare to show a different color, so she said politely: "There is no need to be like this, I just met by fate, and I don't deserve Miss Du's thanks." Since Miss Du is unwell, I also asked the girl to give me a word, please let her recuperate and take care of her body. Although I can't visit her in person, I will always pray for her in front of the Buddha. ”

Xiao Bai raised his eyes to look at her, his eyebrows were slightly curved, and he lowered his eyes: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Old Madam Yu secretly glanced at Wen Yi and coughed: "Why doesn't anyone serve tea?" I really don't know the rules, haven't you seen any guests today? Then he asked Barberry to sit down.

Cui Yu hurriedly came in with a tea tray from outside and served a bowl to the barberry. Xiao Bai excused himself from Old Madam Yu a few times, and then sat down on a small pestle at her insistence, and then his eyes never left Cui Yu, who had retreated to the side. After a while, she smiled and said, "This sister looks a little familiar, as if she has seen it in the lower part of the front yard of the Luwang Mansion today, but the slave maid doesn't remember the name." ”

Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "This girl's name is Cui Yu, she was originally called by my eldest daughter-in-law, because I came to the capital, and the courtyard was a little short of manpower, so I borrowed her to call, and now I also followed a few children to the palace, but I didn't expect the girl to recognize it." ”

Xiao Bai's gaze stayed on Cui Yu for a while, and recognized that the dress on her body was basically the same as when she was in Lu Wangfu today, presumably the Gu family intended to do this, so that she could take a closer look and clear her suspicions. She looked at Wen Yi a little helplessly: "Miss Nine is too careful." ”

Wen Yi just smiled and defended the Gu family again: "Because my sixth sister is familiar with Miss Zheng's family, when I saw her speak, I asked this girl to help send a letter to the Zheng family, and after finishing the errand, I was going to go back to the palace, but I met someone from the Zheng family halfway, and received another errand, but I went home first, we didn't know, and when she disappeared, she came back to know that it was a false alarm." At that time, Miss Du also heard about it, and she was worried about it, so I couldn't help it. ”

Barberry smiled, "It's okay." It's a strange thing, this girl in the house was also seen when she was down, although there were many people at that time, but who didn't have a good memory of the servant? The slave and maid have a good memory, and everyone who has seen it can always remember it when they see each other again, although they only met a few sisters in the courtyard at that time, they all remembered it. On the contrary, it was a maid in the palace of the king of Lu, who seemed to be the one who passed the message for the sixth lady in the house, saying that after passing the message to the servant girl of the sixth lady at that time, she saw that the maid sent a mother-in-law to go out, but she still stayed in the palace and waited for the master to send her. Even the concierge in Mrs. Zheng's mansion said that the person who delivered the letter at that time was a mother-in-law, not a young girl. Could it be that the people in this capital have bad eyes, and they actually see the girl like a flower as an old woman? ”

Old Madam Yu and Wen Yi could hear a cold sweat, could it be that Zheng Lijun arranged it? But the maid of the Lu Wangfu will actually follow her orders, and she can't help but cover the sky with one hand, right?

Old Madam Yu calmed down: "This thing is really weird, could it be that this girl Cuiyu can't lie?" ”

Cui Yu knelt down in a daze: "The slave maid doesn't dare to be a slave and a maid is true" She was anxious, she listened to Shuangxi's tone before, it seemed that someone had done something bad in Luwang's Mansion in her name, and now it was the bitter master who came to the door? She was so frightened that she almost cried: "The slave maid is willing to confront the people of the palace and the Zheng family, the slave maid did go to the Zheng Mansion, the slave maid also saw the grandmother who was in charge of his family, and handed over the letter to her, and the slave maid also recognized her appearance, her surname was Zhang, tall and thin, and there was a mole at the corner of her mouth......"

"What's the panic?" Old Madam Yu interrupted her words, a little dissatisfied, "Since you are innocent and don't know, the Lu Wangfu and the Dongyang Hou Mansion will naturally not wronged your prince, princess, and the Hou and Mrs. are all aware of everything, when you know who is behind this matter, don't you give me up?" You are the girl of our Gu family, crying in front of the guests, and you are not afraid of losing the face of our squire's mansion."

Cui Yu stopped crying, but still didn't dare to stand up. Xiao Bai lowered his head slightly and said deferentially: "Mrs. Tai is right. Those who are clear will clear themselves, and the truth will be revealed sooner or later. Madame and Miss know the innocence of the house, so you don't have to worry about it. After a pause, he added, "In a few days, Madame intends to hold a banquet in the mansion, and invite a few ladies who are good friends with our young lady to come and accompany the young lady to relax." Madame said that Miss Nine in the house must be invited, and please Miss Gu Jiu not to refuse. ”

Wen Yi was a little surprised, and then hesitated, she really didn't want to get entangled too much with these high-ranking daughters, just now the old lady Yu also said that she had been involved in the turmoil, in order not to further offend the Zheng family, it was better to keep a low profile, so she wanted to open her mouth and refuse. Old Madam Yu took the first step and said: "Thank you Madame and Miss for lifting up, the nine girls will go in three days" Wen Yi was taken aback and turned her head to look at her. She didn't say anything, just greeted Xiao Bai, and then politely ordered someone to send him out.

When the others left, Cui Yu withdrew the tea again, and Wen Yi couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle and grandmother, why do you want to answer the invitation of the Dongyang Hou Mansion for me?" Didn't you say ......"

Old Madam Yu interrupted her: "What is the identity of the Du family?" Who are we? Since Mrs. Du is invited, you are naturally going to go. The Zheng family, you can't hide it, as long as the fake maidservant goes back and reports the incident to Miss Zheng, Miss Zheng will naturally know that you have done her bad. Just looking at what she did in the Lu Wangfu, I knew that she was deliberately trying to blame this disaster on our Gu family, although we didn't dare to offend the Zheng family, but there was no reason to let others bully us."

The calm on her face disappeared at some point, and there was a faint anger between her eyebrows: "Our family has never offended the Zheng family, your sixth sister has been friends with Miss Zheng for many years, and I don't know why Miss Zheng is so ruthless Our family can't do nothing, this is a secret matter, and it can't be seen in the light, if you don't make trouble, everyone knows what they know, and they can still get along without trouble, but if it comes out, it is not us who will suffer the most" She sneered slightly, "Since Miss Zheng's plan fails, the Du family will not let it go easily, even if it is for the sake of taking care of the overall situation, If you don't make a fuss, those who should know will know. This time the battle for the throne of the crown princess, even if Miss Du does not win, it will never be Miss Zheng's Dongyang Hou De, Jane is in the emperor's heart, even if her daughter can't be the crown princess, her status and reputation will not be damaged. It wouldn't hurt us to be closer to his family. Now that Mrs. Dongyang Hou has invited you to go, it seems that she intends to let you accompany Miss Du more. His family behaves decently, and if he accepts your kindness, he will never treat you badly, but if you go, remember to be courteous and courteous, and you will have your own good."

When Wen Yi heard this, she pursed her lips, and she was unhappy in her heart. She doesn't regret saving Du Yuanru, even if she does it all over again, she will still do it, but after saving people, if she has a utilitarian heart in her heart, she will ruin all the kindness she had at that time. What will Du Yuanru think of her? Could it be that she also wants to learn from Wen Hui, follow behind the daughter of the high gate, and be a self-righteous "close friend in the boudoir"?

Mrs. Yu was a little tired, she beat her shoulder, seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked over, and saw the expression on her face, and her heart was already clear, and she couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, because she was angry for a while, and she didn't pay attention to the tone of her words, presumably the nine girls misunderstood. She slowed down her expression and said in a kind tone: "I almost forgot, I just discussed with your aunt today, and I will send your sixth sister's birthday to Liu's house tomorrow, you also wrote your eight characters, I will send it together, and I will save sending it again." ”

Wen Yi glanced at her faintly, sneering in her heart, but because she was asking for Changfang at the moment, she could only lower her head and respond, "Yes." ”

That's it, Du Yuanru is not a difficult person to get along with, just go to talk and laugh with him, what can he do? The eldest uncle and grandmother acted like this, presumably with the idea of alienating the Zheng family, right? Could it be that she saw that the Zheng family couldn't succeed? Wen Yi couldn't help but think of what the Zheng family would do, and it depended on how the third prince would deal with it, but he didn't know...... Will he know the truth?

The Royal Palace, West 4.

The palace people sent candlesticks to illuminate the study, but Zhu Jingkun just watched them go in and out indifferently, and didn't say a word for a long time, only the clenched fists under the case slightly revealed the emotions in his heart at this time.

The young man sitting opposite him threw the jasper smoker cage in his hand for a while, saw that he was silent for a long time, the corners of his mouth curled, and he casually threw the jasper smoker back to the wooden seat, with both hands behind his back, swaggered up and walked to the wall, admiring the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall: "Good painting, good painting, this crane painting is really fat, roasted in the winter to eat, it must be delicious."

Zhu Jingkun's hand moved, slowly turned his head, and a smile appeared on his face: "Does Brother Shen like it?" Take it if you like it. ”

"What's so embarrassing?" The young man's mouth was polite, but his actions were not polite at all, he quickly took off the painting, rolled it up and put it in his sleeve, turned around and grinned, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's me who should thank Brother Shen." Zhu Jingkun smiled even deeper, "It's just...... I don't understand, why did my brother only tell me if he knew about it? After all...... The Zhou family was also involved, and you, brother Shen...... But have you been raised in the queen's palace since you were a child? You told me about it, but you hid it from the main palace, so you are not afraid...... Will the queen complain? ”
