Xiao Wen stepped forward and picked up the sandalwood Buddhist beads on the ground, put them in the old lady's hand, and repeated slowly, "It's four sets." Two sets of silk and two sets of cloud brocade are all fashionable colors this year. ”

The old lady's face stiffened for a moment.

Once again, she thought of her camellia silk gown, which she had worn for the fifth year. The color is beginning to fade, the style is old, but in fact it has a long-term atmosphere.

She clenched the Buddha beads, took a deep breath, and slowly spit them out, "Merchants have always opened the way with money, and I am afraid that the Chen Mansion spent a lot of money to buy it directly from Jiangnan." Under the lure of heavy money, there are always those who dare to take risks. ”

She said righteously, "The preciousness of this silk and cloud brocade lies in the royal reward, which shows the dignity of status. Just like my gown, everyone respects the emperor's love for the Dingguo Mansion. Chen Youning exchanged silver money for the crime of killing his head, what is there to envy? ”

Xiao Wen's secretly slandered, the silver money was exchanged for the silk yarn worn by the gods, which can be worn as long as you give up the silver.

But wearing thousands of taels of silver on the body, ordinary people would not do such a thing. Even the royal family has to consider the pen of imperial history, and dare not let the concubines use this extravagant thing.

Xiao Wen didn't want to mention it, wearing the silk yarn horizontally and vertically couldn't cure Chen Youning's crime, and he asked his daughter to follow him.

She sat down beside the old lady and asked in a low voice, "Can you really cure her of capital crimes?" What should a mother do? ”

The old lady twisted the Buddha beads, "Don't worry, think slowly, there should always be a foreshadowing for everything." ”

Xiao Wen also calmed down and thought carefully, "Chen Youning is still in the filial piety period, so she can't go out to the banquet, even if there is a banquet in the house, she can't participate." But we can't push her out stiffly, so as not to cause criticism...... It's time to think about it. ”

The old lady glanced at Han Qingwan, who sat down and bowed down, but she didn't shy away from her when she talked about this harmful thing, but instead took the opportunity to teach, "If you want to attack someone, strive to hit it with one blow, and don't give her a chance to turn over." And most importantly, you have to keep yourself out of it. ”

Han Qingwan remained silent and responded, "Wan'er understands." Kill with a knife, and kill without seeing blood. ”

For Chen Youning's wealth, it is fake that she is not jealous. After all, they are all girls, and it is the time to love beauty and comparison.

Chen Youning is not stupid, but very smart, and even threatens her, such a person staying in the Guogong Mansion is not a good thing for her.

Grandmother and mother wanted to get rid of Chen Youning, although she was a little surprised, but she also fell into the favor.

Such a person who robbed her of her glory should not live.

The old lady bowed her head appreciatively, "Yes, borrowing a knife to kill people, and people must not be able to see who is borrowing a knife." ”

Han Qingwan gently stroked the silk purse and fell into deep thought.

It was nearly noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

There is a white jade Guanyin on the long sandalwood case, and Guanyin smiles compassionately.

Guanyin is placed in front of a delicate copper incense burner, the incense burner is burned with sandalwood, sandalwood floats, impregnated on the three people who have their own hearts.

The brocade curtain was lifted, and the maid came in to report, "Old lady, Mother Wu who is in charge of the garden and Mother Zheng who is in charge of the flower room have something to report, and because they can't find the second lady, they came here." ”

The old lady said, "Let them in." ”

Mother Wu is the housekeeper mother in the garden, and she kowtows to say hello when she enters the door, and Fang Yu said, "Although the matter is not big, the old slave thinks about it, and he should come to report it." Early this morning, Aunt Sun of Rose Garden went to the garden to cut a basket of chrysanthemums, and the old slave heard that she was the cook of the Jin Palace, so she didn't dare to say anything. After all, the chrysanthemums in the garden are all ordinary varieties, not precious things. ”

She paused, saw that the old lady and the second lady looked calm, and continued, "But just now, Aunt Sun went to the garden again, and the slave maid was worried that it would go on like this, and the Double Ninth Festival had not yet arrived, and there would be no chrysanthemums to appreciate in our garden." ”

Zheng's mother on the side also said, "The garden in our flower room is not much better than the garden." The jasmine flowers are small, and they can't get a bowl of flowers even if they are cleaned up. There are also chrysanthemums inside, which are much rarer than those in the garden, and they are all ready to be moved out during the Double Ninth Festival. The slave maid was afraid that when it came to the Double Ninth Festival, there were no chrysanthemums in the flower room that could be handled. ”

The second lady snorted coldly, "Although it is not a valuable thing, but it is so reckless, it is too unreasonable to take the Dingguo Mansion in your eyes." When she first arrived, why did she feel like she had arrived on her own turf? ”

Mother Zheng chimed in, "Who says it's not." The old slave said something arrogant, Miss Biao is just sending people under the fence, which is too arrogant. But in the way of the face of the Jin Palace, it is difficult for the slaves and maids to open their mouths to stop it. ”

The old lady was noncommittal and looked at Han Qingwan, "Wan'er, what do you think should be?" ”

Han Qingwan said softly, "My cousin is a guest from afar, and we can't treat her slowly." Since she likes to eat flowers, whether the variety is ordinary or precious, she uses it tightly. If there is a shortage of flowers in the house, just buy them. ”

The old lady was relieved and said to Zheng's mother, "If you hear it, you will do what the eldest lady says." ”

Zheng's mother hesitated, "The old lady doesn't know, it's now September, and the Double Ninth Festival is just around the corner, it is the season when the prefectures set up chrysanthemum feasts, and the flowers in the flower market are the most expensive." If you buy it at this time, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver. ”

Han Qingwan smiled slightly, "Is the face of the Guogong Mansion more important or is the silver more important?" You just have to buy it, what varieties are valuable, you don't have to care about the silver, just go to the account office to withdraw it. ”

Zheng's mother was stunned, the eldest lady was too generous, and the old lady had always advocated frugality, where was there such a way to spend money?

And if you buy this flower, maybe it will go into the belly of the young lady!

She hesitated, "Old lady, this ......"

The old lady's eyes were full of admiration, and she said, "I will say hello to the bookkeeper, you can go down." Aunt Sun goes to the flower room to cut flowers again, be sure to be respectful, let her cut it casually, and don't have to mention any expensive or low. ”

Mother Zheng and Mother Wu retreated in a trance.

On the way, the two muttered, "The old lady is too kind, although Miss Biao is the maiden niece of the Duchess of Xianguo, she can't be ...... like this."

"Who's to say it isn't? The old lady treats the grandfather of the country with kindness, this is the love of the house and the Wu. ”

"Otherwise, our old lady can get a good life, who can say a word about her charitable heart in the whole capital?"

"And the eldest lady, she is also very generous, I heard that Miss Biao is not very polite to the eldest lady......"

"This young lady is really arrogant......"

……

Xiao Wen's eyes flashed, "Mother, you do this, but you want her to harm more chrysanthemums, and then use this as a reason to deal with her?" ”

The old lady lowered her eyelids and said lightly, "Deal with Miss Biao for the sake of a few chrysanthemums, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are narrow?" ”

Xiao Wen's face was puzzled, "Then ...... are you?"
