Chapter 166: Confrontation
Ruo Tan had an innocent and naughty appearance, so cute, she still hooked Mrs. Xu's neck and praised coquettishly: "My mother's daughter is the number one beauty in the world." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
When the few girls standing on the side heard this, they all sneered and laughed, and even Mrs. Xu couldn't hold it back, and asked with a smile: "Is this a compliment to you?" β
Hey, hey.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Chen'er, I have something important to ask you." β
Ruochen also stopped giggling and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Xu asked, "When did you come back last night?"
Ruo was silent for a while, and secretly thought: "I and Amber deliberately avoided everyone when they came back last night, how did my mother know?" β
She raised her head, and inadvertently saw Qingmei probe glancing into the room, and then pretending to be casual and walking away, saying in her heart, she is not a first-class girl now, it is not her turn to wait in front of her, what is she doing in front of her?
Although he was puzzled, he said with a smile: "Tan'er heard that the birds are asleep at night, and they are the easiest to catch, so they sleep until midnight, and go out to touch the bird's nest. β
Mrs. Xu was slightly stunned when she saw her, although her words were reasonable, she was a child who did not play cards according to common sense, not to mention digging a bird's nest in the middle of the night, or taking a ladder to pick up the stars, she could do it, but Mrs. Xu was still suspicious in her heart, and said with half seriousness and half a smile: "Okay, I'll call Cuiyu to ask." β
Ruochen smiled and said, "Okay." And he said, "I'm hungry." β
Mrs. Xu ordered Hongmei to invite Cuiyu, and Baimei went to the kitchen to deliver food.
Amber heard that Mrs. Xu was going to confront Jade, and her heart rose to her throat, last night their master and servant sneaked in behind everyone's backs, where did Jade know, this confrontation is not allowed to wear a state.
When I heard the young lady say that she was hungry, I understood that the young lady wanted to take this opportunity to ask her to send a message to Cuiyu and beg her to cover it up, but who knew that the lady was throwing a thousand pounds from the lady, so that the young lady's plan fell through.
How good is that!
Amber's heart is like frying oil, and she looks at the young lady anxiously, hoping that she will come up with a good idea to save the day.
Ruo Tan is calm as if nothing is right.
In just a few moments, Hongmei came in with Jade.
Mrs. Xu invited her to sit down.
Amber hurried to serve tea.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said to Cuiyu: "Chen'er lives here, although her girls are all big, but I look at them coldly and are all naughty, Chen'er can not lose the rules, it is all up to you to take care of it, there is nothing to thank," stopped at this point, took off a mutton fat bracelet and handed it to Cuiyu, "You accept this bracelet, and I am grateful." β
Jade follows the old lady every day, what jewelry has not been seen, see that the mutton fat jade bracelet is clear and shiny, really good mutton fat lubrication, it is a priceless bream best hand tin, where dare to accept it, all kinds of tactful refusal: "Take care of the young lady, it is the blessing and the duty of the slave maid, where is it worthy of the lady's thanks, torture the slave maid." β
After a bit of prevarication, he couldn't resist Mrs. after all, and Mrs. forced her to put the mutton fat jade bracelet on her wrist.
Mrs. Xu held her hand and looked left and right, and praised: "This bracelet has finally found its owner, and I used to wear it on my hands to spoil it." β
Hearing this, Jade was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Xu asked, "When did Miss go out last night and come back?" β
Cuiyu stared at the floor for a few moments, raised her eyes, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't mention it, Miss Tan seems to be quiet, but in fact she is lively, how many times a day do you have to slip out from under the nose of the old lady, sneaking in and out, the slave and maid eyes are spent."
It was said that last night, I was going to pick laurel for a while, and I was going to catch autumn crickets for a while, and the last time I slipped out of the slave and maid, I didn't pay attention to what time, but I knew that the old lady fell asleep, and the young lady slipped out again, and the slave and maid saw it, and had to ask, I can't remember that the young lady said that she was going to climb the tree to catch the jade rabbit of the Moon Palace, or to dig the bird's nest, and the slave saw that there was amber to follow, thinking that Amber was loyal to the Lord, and she was relieved, and only told her not to fall from the tree carefully, and not to cry if you planted your teeth.
Later, when the young lady came back, the slave maid had already fallen asleep at that time, and when she saw that the young lady was safe, she went to sleep. β
Mrs. Xu looked at her carefully, then smiled and nodded her forehead, which was as white as jade, and said lovingly: "You, naughty, you can catch the jade?"
Ruo Tan had no heart and no lungs and said: "Tan Er is not that stupid, I never thought of catching something that I couldn't grasp, I just went to dig the bird's nest, who knew that I didn't even touch a bird's egg." β
Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at the jade.
She was drinking tea, and when she heard Ruo Chen's words, she said with a smile: "Miss is confused, birds and finches only lay eggs in spring, and now it is autumn, where can you touch it." β
Ruo Tan suddenly realized: "I see. β
Everyone was talking happily, and the old lady sent someone to look for jade, and the little girl was sharp-toothed: "It's strange that I can't find my sister, it turns out to be here." β
Mrs. Xu smiled: "Go quickly, the old lady can't leave you for a moment." β
Jade smiled and got up and followed the little girl.
Cha Baimei brought breakfast with her mother-in-law from the kitchen.
If Chen ate breakfast, Mrs. Xu watched her eat lovingly, remembered one thing, and asked with a smile: "Chen Er often meets Aunt Yan?"
Ruo Tan swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied: "I used to go to Aunt Yan to learn and practice calligraphy, but now it is rare to go once every three or five days." β
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her face softened even more: "Then why are you so good at dancing, you learned it from your Aunt Yan when you practiced calligraphy?"
Ruo sneered: "Do you need someone to teach you to dance? β
Mrs. Xu was surprised.
Ruo Chen said: "I don't believe that my aunt will casually pick the dance and dance that I have seen at Aunt Xu's house to test me." β
Mrs. Xu thought for a while and said, "I once saw a dancing girl who could dance a long and slender belt into various shapes. β
Ruo said: "What's so difficult about this? But it takes arm strength, and my daughter can dance, but she doesn't dance for long, and she doesn't have that much arm strength." β
Mrs. Xu smiled: "It's good to stop at the point." β
A girl offered two pieces of silk, and Ruo Tan took them in her hand, walked to the center of the courtyard, and danced.
The two ribbons seemed to have life in her hands, sometimes turning in circles, sometimes like waves rolling, better than the dancing girls she saw in Xu's mansion.
After only a few moments, Ruochen stopped, frowning and only screaming that his arm was sore.
Amber helped her sit down and kneaded her.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I really believe that you are really self-taught in dance." β
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Mrs. Xu left.
Amber patted her chest and said in fear: "I scared the slave to death just now, but fortunately Sister Jade said that......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the voice of the green jade outside shouting angrily, "What are you doing sneakily?" )
