Chapter 22: The suspicion of cheating

When Mingxi came over, she happened to see Xue Hainiang who was worried, she didn't understand what Xue Hainiang was thinking, although she had the heart to relieve Xue Hainiang's worries, but she could only remind: "Miss, it's getting dark, let's go home." ”

Looking back, Xue Hainiang's face was calm, and her obsidian-like eyes could no longer see the slightest wave.

"Okay, go home. ”

When I returned to Xue's Mansion, it was already the time of the year, and as soon as I stepped into the Furong Garden, I saw that the Li family was already in the inner room, instructing the maids to set up things.

Xue Hainiang entered, with a dignified and elegant appearance, which made the Li family look more and more happy.

She stepped forward and grabbed Xue Hainiang's hand, her beautiful eyes seemed to be full of water, "Hainiang is really slim, even if my mother sees it, she is envious......"

Today, she already knew that a sea lady was showing her edge in front of the Queen Mother, and then looked at the reward sent by the Queen Mother, Li was even more pleased, it is reported that there are only a few people who have been rewarded by the Queen Mother, although this glory is not unique, but it is enough to make her happy.

What's more, although the Xue family is everyone, it is far inferior to the Murong family and the Liang family, this time, Xue Hainiang not only gave her a face, but also gave the Xue family a face, which can be regarded as a real glorious lintel.

Xue Hainiang smiled shyly, "My mother doesn't want to make fun of me anymore, I don't know what makes my mother happy like this?"

"Look over there. Li twisted his hand in the silk handkerchief, pointed to the jewelry on the table, and a white jade Guanyin, and smiled very happily.

Xue Hainiang looked at it, and her phoenix eyes also showed a little surprise, "This is ...... Rewarded by the Queen Mother?"

Let's not talk about the dazzling jewelry in the box, and look at the white jade Guanyin, the jade quality is top-notch at a glance, and the whole body is flawless, except for the palace, how can the Xue family take it?

Li Shi bowed his head slightly, twisted the silk handkerchief and tried the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and laughed, "Hai Niang, you can be so appreciated by the Queen Mother, my mother is really happy...... When you enter the palace in the future, your mother will be able to feel much more at ease. ”

She doesn't care whether Xue Hainiang can shine on the lintel and whether she can be favored, she only cares about whether Xue Hainiang will be ignored and neglected because her family background is not prominent enough after she enters the palace.

Now, she has not yet entered the palace to run for election and has entered the eyes of the Queen Mother, and she will naturally not be able to gain a firm foothold when she enters the palace in the future!

Xue Hainiang lowered her eyes, forcibly suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said softly: "Hainiang will definitely live up to the high expectations of her mother." ”

She really didn't dare to think about it, if one day, her mother knew that she had never thought of entering the palace as a concubine, what would she think of herself......

Li Shiwan smiled, "My mother only hopes that you will have a happy life, no illness and no disaster, as for the glory and wealth, you can have it, you don't have to force it." After that, he changed the topic, "An hour ago, Mama sent these rewards, I picked some of you to keep in this box, and the one next to me ordered Scarlet Moon to receive the treasury, you can take a look, what is the mother's vision?"

Seeing that the Li family was quite interested, Xue Hainiang was not happy, so she smiled and stepped forward to play with the box of jewelry, and most of them were very elegant, which suited her very much.

The phoenix eyes swept lightly, suddenly, a clear and delicate white begonia fell into sight, she held it up to play, only to know that this white begonia is a jade hairpin engraved from the best mutton fat white jade, lifelike, beautiful and elegant, if inserted into the bun, it is really like a begonia falling into the sideburns.

Xue Hainiang's lips were lightly raised, and she picked out the white begonias, and finally picked out some elegant and not tacky jewelry in the box, and instructed Mingxi to pack up these jewelry and send them to Liang Bairou.

Li's micro-signs, not understanding what he meant, hurriedly asked Liang Bairou who he was, and Xue Hainiang told him truthfully.

Li Shi was quite pleased, and said with a smile: "If she has a good temperament, you two will have a care in the future, and it is also appropriate to be more encompassing." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled and said nothing, and ordered Mingxi to take the jewelry from the treasury and divide it equally among the Lin family's Xu family and Xue Qiaoling, and the mutton fat white jade Guanyin was sent to Tanyuan.

Seeing this, Li Shi gasped, "If it's something else, it's okay, this white jade Guanyin is a reward from the Queen Mother, and it is carved from high-grade jade, it's a pity to take such a good thing to please the old lady......"

Xue Hainiang smiled, "Mother, you need to know that money is nothing but things outside the body. ”

Qixiu Garden,

The only master was leaning on the chaise longue, and the maid Qingluo carefully pounded her legs and shoulders for her, and she didn't dare to gasp.

Xue Hainiang came out on top, and the news of being favored by the Queen Mother had already been reported, and the Lin family, who had always been well-informed, had already known about it.

Yes, as soon as Xue Qiaoling returned to the mansion, she heard the Lin family call her to come.

"Why did the mother call her daughter here? Xue Qiaoling stepped forward and smiled.

Lin glanced at her and waved her hand to signal the maid to retreat.

When only she and Xue Qiaoling were left in the huge hall, she sighed lightly and said, "Ling'er, why are you so confused today, so that that slut can win the favor of the Queen Mother?"

Xue Qiaoling bit her lower lip in annoyance, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Since my mother knows about this, she must have heard about it, Xue Hainiang won the first place this time because of her poetry...... This time, I wanted to embarrass her, but who knows, she has been hiding it all along! Even my daughter didn't know that she had that talent......

When she was young, her husband taught her and Xue Hainiang, but she remembered it clearly, Xue Hainiang had always had no sense of poetry, only liked the rhythm of music, but this time it was like a different person.

Lin snorted coldly, "I underestimated that slut......"

Before Lin could continue to speak, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Lin followed the prestige and said softly: "Didn't you say that you should not be disturbed if you have nothing to do?"

Qingluo's voice came from outside, "Auntie, it's red satin." ”

Lin cleared his throat, and the corners of his lips raised into a smile, "I know, let her in." ”

Xue Qiaoling said suspiciously: "Red satin, if the daughter is not mistaken, red satin seems to be the maidservant who is waiting by the Xu family's side, right?"

Lin smiled wryly, "Just look at it." ”

After that, a pink fir girl walked through the tassel bead curtain, and she leaned down and bowed: "The slave maid meets Aunt Lin and the second lady." ”

Lin raised his lips and chuckled, motioning for her to get up and sit down, but Red Satin didn't dare to get up, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and said humbly: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid can stand and report." ”

The Lin clan didn't force it, "Then what's wrong with Xu Lianshuang lately?"

Red Satin lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Recently, Aunt Xu always calls a private doctor to see her, and when Aunt Xu calls her into the Splendid Pavilion, she always dismisses the maid I am waiting for, leaving only the doctor alone in the inner room...... The slave maid felt curious, and left to eavesdrop yesterday, but she never thought that the two behaved intimately......" As she spoke, two red clouds floated on the cheeks of the red satin, which was as white as jade.

Lin Shi could listen energetically, she stood up and asked, "What does the doctor look like?"

Red satin raised her eyes suddenly, and said busily: "The slave and maid really see it, that doctor is born graceful, has a clear face, and is almost the same age as Aunt Xu." ”
