Chapter 289: Dismounting
The first round of confrontation between Xue Hainiang and her marriage into the palace is over.
After Xue Hainiang won, the gentleman who didn't know what to call was embarrassed with a blue face.
Because of the brocade handkerchief on his head and the obstruction of his eyes, Xue Hainiang also acted as a blind man very well, supported by the maid A Ling, and Mr. Na was the first to walk in front to lead the way.
Although she couldn't see it, Xue Hainiang was still cautious, silently counting the hours in her heart, and didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.
Xue Hainiang knew that the palace was really big, and she walked for nearly half an hour before she arrived at the courtyard arranged by Nan Shuke for her, oh no, I heard that the backyard of the Qinghui Mansion is now in charge of Mrs. Liu's family.
Yin Hong's lips flap raised slightly, as if mocking and approving.
is worthy of being the sister of Concubine Liu, but she is like Liu's good hand at scheming.
After walking for about half an hour, the gentleman finally smiled and said, "Miss Hai, this is the courtyard where you will live in the future, stay here tonight and wait for the prince to come." ”
The gentleman seemed to deliberately accentuate the word 'Linxing'.
The word "Linxing" is mostly used for women with humble status, such as concubines and warm house girls.
Although Xue Hainiang is not a concubine, for King Qinghui, who has not yet married a concubine, the side concubine is the master with the highest status in the palace.
Now there is no one around, and the maids and family members in the house are also waiting far away.
Xue Hainiang had no intention of arguing with this man who didn't know what his identity was, and smiled: "Dare to ask Mr. how to call him, and what kind of identity he is in the house." ”
The man Shi Shiran smiled, looked at Xue Hainiang for a long time, and seemed surprised and suspicious between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "The contemptible Xie family is famous, and he is the housekeeper of the palace, and he is in charge of the affairs of the back house with Mrs. Liu on weekdays. ”
Xue Hainiang knew that in this way, it was understandable that Xie Huan and Mrs. Liu would give her such a play.
Can......
What kind of identity does Nan Shuke play in it? Xue Hainiang was thoughtful.
After Xie Huan briefly introduced the affairs of the house, he led some family members and maids to leave, leaving only about ten people in the courtyard.
After Xue Hainiang was helped into the new house in the courtyard by Ah Ling, she lifted the hijab without thinking about it and sat on the bed.
Ah Ling hurriedly called a few times, 'I can't do it', and hurriedly took the brocade that Xue Hainiang had placed on the collapse at will and covered it again, "How can the side concubine Niangniang be like this, what if the prince comes in later to see this scene." ”
Xue Hainiang ignored it, stretched out her hand to lift the corner of the Jinpa, and stared at Ah Ling with eyes that outlined the demon eye makeup, dark gray pupils, and slightly raised corners of her eyes, as if she was born to hook people's souls.
"Your Highness hasn't seen anyone all day, do you think he'll come and lift my head tonight?" a very thin smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Ah Ling was stunned, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face, "Concubine Niangniang, look at the one called Xie Huan, who treated you like this today, and then think about Mrs. Liu, who obviously intended to make you stumble, how can you live in the future." ”
Xue Hainiang seemed to smile, "I don't care what kind of character Mrs. Liu is, I am a side concubine, and my position is one level higher than her, she now has the power of the back house, if she is willing to be at peace with me, if she sets off a storm in the back house and intends to compete with me, I will call her nothing." ”
Ah Ling was slightly stunned, she had not been in contact with Xue Hainiang for a long time, and she was only transferred to Xue Hainiang a few days before the wedding. In my impression, Xue Hainiang is an easy-going and kind person, although she is not as gentle and delicate as an ordinary deep boudoir woman, but she is not a strong person at the glance, but now these words have completely changed Ah Ling's outlook.
Xue Hainiang saw that Ah Ling was in a trance, hooked her lips and chuckled, her long and curly eyelashes slightly drooped to hide the dark light that swept through her eyes. When I opened my eyelids again, I didn't see anything unusual in my eyes.
"Let's go, come with me to the courtyard and take a look at the people that Madame Liu arranged for me. ”
Let's see whether this Mrs. Liu plans to be safe in the house in the future, or whether she has made up her mind to fight with her.
"Oh, yes, Concubine Niangniang. Ah Ling hurriedly bowed and bowed, and then followed Xue Hainiang out of the new house.
In the courtyard, there were really men and women on the side, five maids, and five family members. They all bowed their heads, bent slightly, and looked humble and respectful.
Xue Hainiang walked to a marble square bench in the courtyard and sat down, and did not give a lecture as soon as she came, or asked everyone to raise their heads to reply, but slowly and methodically supported her chin and looked at the surrounding environment.
The courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, the courtyard is connected by the road, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the four corners of the courtyard are planted with red plums that bloom in the wind and are proud of the wind and frost. The whole courtyard is magnificent, elegant and luxurious.
I really have to admire, but what the Liu family did was so that people couldn't find fault with it.
Although I don't know what Xie Huan's move means today, why Nan Shuke didn't show up to greet his relatives.
That Xie Huan made sarcastic remarks, and deliberately gave her a dismount as soon as they met, and secretly received Mrs. Liu's order. Although Xue Hainiang knows it, it doesn't mean that outsiders will know.
Now looking at this magnificent courtyard, Mrs. Liu's placement of her is so that others can't find faults.
After looking around, Xue Hainiang moved her gaze to the ten family maids standing in a row.
The red lips are lightly raised, and the smile is like a flower.
"You are all carefully selected by Mrs. Liu for me to serve my diet and daily life in the future?"
The maid who was the leader didn't dare to lift it, but only took a step forward, still hunched her waist, and said crisply: "Back to the side concubine Niangniang, the slave maid and so on were taught by the aunt in the house before they were sent to you." ”
Xue Hainiang bowed her head with satisfaction, she deserved to be a carefully selected person, and even her mouth was also very clever.
"Excellent, I don't know if Mrs. Liu said when she will come to see the concubine?" Xue Hainiang smiled with her eyebrows, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
The maid was slightly stunned, as if she was a little surprised how Xue Hainiang could suddenly jump to this topic, and said it so bluntly, "No." I want to come tonight after the candles in the cave room of the prince and Niangniang, Mrs. Liu will come to you to serve tea tomorrow. ”
The maid seems to have intentionally or unintentionally aggravated the term 'cave house candles'.
Xue Hainiang was thoughtful.
Oh, the candles in the cave......
So the implication is that as long as Nan Shuke doesn't come to her new house and round her house one day, the whole house will not want to admit her identity for a day?
"What's your name?" Xue Hainiang asked very kindly, "Raise your head and let me see." ”
The maid slowly raised her head when she heard this, her delicate and delicate face was slightly powdered, and her watery eyes seemed to be affectionate.
