Mrs. Shen said and glanced at Hua Zhen coldly.

Hua Zhen said with a smile: "The seeds are available, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to make a hairpin." ”

"What!"

The eldest lady suppressed her anger and patiently maneuvered.

I listened to Hua Zhen's helpless words: "It was the master craftsman in the palace who carved this hairpin for Zhen'er, and he didn't accept the work of others at all. If the eldest aunt went to look for him, I am afraid that it would be useless. After all, this is a master of jade carving, and his craftsmanship is by no means imitated by ordinary people. Not only am I guilty of defrauding the king, but my eldest aunt will also be implicated, and maybe the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion will be implicated at that time. So I'm afraid this matter is very difficult to do..."

When the eldest lady heard this, she only felt a tightness in her chest: "Then what do you say?"

Hua Zhen heard this: "Auntie might as well hand over the seeds to me, I went to ask Prince Li to ask him to ask the craftsman to make another hairpin for me, wouldn't it be the best." ”

Looking at the sincerity on Hua Zhen's face, the eldest lady only felt that her heart was crying blood, but there was no other way, this was something committed by Shen Yuyao, if she didn't allow it, I don't know how big a fuss Hua Zhen could make.

I had to grit my teeth and tell Yao's mother: "Go and bring the seed material that I married." ”

Yao's mother didn't dare to squeak when she heard this, so she turned around and went into the back room to take out a brocade box.

The eldest lady opened the brocade box, and there was a piece of mutton fat jade seed material lying in it.

There is enough to have a golden gourd to beat small, not to mention making a few hairpins, it is more than enough to make another set of heads.

This is the eldest lady's most cherished thing, even Shen Yuxin was reluctant to let her take it away when she got married, thinking about giving it to Shen Yuyao in the future, but she didn't expect it to be taken away by Hua Zhen today.

I hate in my heart that I can't kill her to relieve my anger.

Hua Zhen didn't see half of it, smiled and asked Aunt Zhou to step forward and take the brocade box, and then slowly bowed down: "Since this is the case, Pan'er will thank her aunt." ”

After speaking, he looked at the account book on the table, and said very intimately: "Uncle and aunt see that there is still something to do, so Zhen'er won't bother." "Turn around and take the people with you, and you're leaving.

When he passed by Shen Yuyao's side, he told him very gently: "Cousin, I should take care of the maids in my yard less in the future, otherwise this time it will be seed material, and I won't know what it is next time." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the eldest lady's room, as if he was looking at something that could be seen.

I was so angry with the eldest lady that I almost fainted.

Shen Yuyao's eyes were even redder.

Hua Zhen smiled and led the people back to Zhixiang Garden.

When I first entered the door, I remembered it, so I whispered to Aunt Zhou.

I saw Aunt Zhou's brows furrowed slightly: "Miss wants this?"

"Well, you can prepare for it, maybe it will come in handy tonight. ”

"Yes. Aunt Zhou respectfully responded and left.

As soon as Hua Zhen left with her front foot, the eldest lady slapped Shen Yuyao in the face.

"In addition to causing trouble for me every day, do you still do something on the side? Why can't you learn from your sister and save me worry!"

Shen Yuyao originally felt ashamed of the eldest lady, even if she was beaten, she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head, but when she heard the eldest lady talking about Shen Yuxin, it suddenly exploded like a lit cannonball.

"Does my mother think that I am inferior to my sister in anything, if so, my mother just needs to see my sister, what am I doing if I am still alive!" he turned around and ran out of the peony house.

The heartache of leaving the eldest lady alone.

Mother Zhang helped the eldest lady to sit down and comforted: "Madame, don't be angry, beware of your body, the second young lady is not sensible and doesn't understand Madame's hard work." ”

Hearing this, a trace of grievance flashed in the eyes of the eldest lady: "Why does she always think that I treat her as well as Yuxin, when Yuxin married the fifth prince, she didn't give it to her." It's not to leave it to her, why doesn't she understand. ”

said with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Hua Zhen, I underestimated her, I didn't pay attention, but I let her bully my daughter like this." Okay, okay, okay, wait for me, I'm going to see what else you're capable of. ”

It was not long before what happened in the courtyard reached the ears of the old lady.

When it was time for dinner, the old lady deliberately asked someone not to invite Hua Zhen in time.

So by the time she arrived, the people of the Shen family had already eaten.

Seeing that everyone in the room had eaten for a long time, Hua Zhen didn't speak, and stood there watching.

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help frowning: "Are you such a rule? ”

Hua Zhen looked at the old lady with a puzzled face when she heard this: "Grandmother, it's not that I misunderstood, my grandmother and my uncle and aunt have already eaten half of the rice in their bowls, when have you waited for me? ”

"It's not that I'm wrong, or that I'm misunderstood. He said unhurriedly, and did not seem to be panicked.

Seeing that the old lady was about to speak, Hua Zhen smiled, then took the food box from Jiang Fu's hand, and said softly: "No matter if my grandmother is waiting for me, it is always me who is late, Zhen'er knows that she is wrong, so she specially brought a box of Luzhou specialties to her grandmother to taste, I hope that my grandmother can forgive Zhen'er, Zhen'er will not dare to do this in the future." ”

The look on his face was very sincere.

The old lady's expression changed when she saw it, and then she glanced at Mama Chen beside her.

Mama Chen hurriedly stepped forward to take the food box in Hua Zhen's hand, put her on the table next to her, and took out a plate of bean curd from it.

There were still thin hairs on it, but the old lady glanced at it, and suddenly lost her appetite, and immediately said angrily: "Hua Zhen, what are you going to do here?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen stepped forward to take the bean curd in Mama Chen's hand and put it directly on the table, picked up the chopsticks of the cloth vegetables, and put a piece directly in the old lady's bowl.

The old lady's face changed suddenly.

Without waiting for her to speak, Hua Zhen also sandwiched a piece for Shen Chongmao.

The eldest lady really couldn't stand this kind of thing, and when she saw that Hua Zhen was going to put it in her bowl, she blocked it with disgust, and suddenly the bean curd in Hua Zhen's hand fell to the ground.

For a while, everyone looked at this piece of bean curd.

Hua Zhen was even more panicked: "Auntie, how can you knock the imperial gift to the ground." ”

As soon as she heard the gift of the emperor, the nerves of the eldest lady's conditioned reflex tensed, and she looked at Hua Zhen: "But how did a plate of bean curd become a gift of the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded and said very respectfully: "This is the imperial gift, when I was in Beijing last year, the emperor personally rewarded it, if the eldest aunt doesn't believe it, you can ask the eldest uncle, at that time, not only Zhen'er, Dongjun Wangfu, Jin State Mansion, Wei State Mansion, and even Ning Guohou Mansion also got a plate." Zhen'er felt that this was something from the emperor up and down, and she was reluctant to eat it, so she put it until now. When I returned to Beijing today, my uncle and aunt did not dislike Rong Zhen'er and lived in Shen Mansion. Zhen'er thanked her uncle and aunt for their kindness, and only took it out this time, but the eldest aunt actually said this, which really made Pan'er sad. ”
