She sat down and said with a cold face, "Old Madam Han isn't playing with this concubine, right?" Concubine Ben came here on purpose, just to see your? ”

"Who says it's not, we've been muttering here for a long time, what about the chrysanthemums you bought with a lot of money? I robbed the princess of the county to eat some snow, robbed my jade peony, and I didn't see a shadow? ”

It was a woman over forty years of age, very thin, with high cheekbones, and a stern appearance.

This person is none other than Mrs. Liu Yushi. Although her grade is not high, her status in the circle of noblewomen is quite high.

Most of the husbands of these noble ladies are officials in the court, and what they are most afraid of is Liu Yushi, who is known as the "mountain wind", to be targeted. Once they offend him, even if they don't die, they will have to lose their skin, and their official fortunes will basically come to an end.

The communication between noble ladies is an extension of men's officialdom, and if it is done well, it will be the icing on the cake with half the effort. If you don't do it well, if you accidentally offend Liu Yushi, it will be a disaster.

A pot of jade peonies that Mrs. Liu Yushi took a fancy to was snatched away by the housekeeper mother of the Dingguo Mansion in front of her, but she still had to maintain Liu Yushi's reputation for being noble and honest, and she couldn't smash it with silver.

But this breath can't be swallowed.

Old Madam Han sighed faintly and sat down beside Princess Ningjun, "Princess Jun, forgive me." As you know, something happened to my poor eldest daughter-in-law's mother's house, and only an orphan girl was left. Now that her parents are gone, how can she not give her old body what she likes......"

Most of the people present had heard of it, Miss Dingguo Mansion loved chrysanthemums, and Mrs. Han bought flowers to make Miss Biao happy.

What they thought was a boast seemed to be true?

Princess Chengjun said lightly, "Even if that cousin loves chrysanthemums, there is no reason to occupy all the chrysanthemums in her yard, today is a chrysanthemum feast, so many guests come." She doesn't even understand that? ”

Old Madam Han wanted to speak and stopped.

Xiao Wen stood on the side, sighed lightly, but didn't say anything.

Someone looked at the words and saw that the matter should be inside, and said, "I have heard some rumors, and I don't know whether it is true or not." I heard that the young lady of the Chen family was very arrogant, and she couldn't disobey at all. Now it seems that the rumors are true. ”

Xiao Wen hurriedly explained, "Ning'er, she is still young, and she has some small preferences. Mrs. Wang should not believe those rumors outside, there must be some groundless speculation and false rumors. ”

Mrs. Liu Yushi snorted coldly, "Groundless wind may not be without cause, this rural person is inevitably angry, and he has to hold everything in his hands, for fear that others will take advantage." ”

When Princess Chengjun heard this, she also agreed, and her impression of the young lady she had never met became worse and worse.

"The old lady sent someone to her yard and brought all the flowers over, and the concubine wanted to see where she could be arrogant."

Old Madam Han was quite embarrassed, and after shirking it a few times, Princess Chengjun became a little annoyed, she has never been a good-natured person.

"It seems that the old lady refuses to give this face to the concubine. Why, Dingguo Gong is so powerful that he doesn't look at this concubine in his eyes? ”

This statement was serious, and all of a sudden the trivial matter of enjoying the flowers was elevated to the point of contempt for the royal family. This kind of thing can be big or small, if it reaches the emperor's ears, it is difficult for anyone to say what he will think.

Except for Mrs. Liu Yushi, none of the ladies in the pavilion answered silently. After all, they can't afford to offend the princesses of Chengjun, and they can't afford to offend the princesses of Dingguo.

The military power in the hands of the Duke of Dingguo, except for the Northwest Army of An Linghou, no one can match it, and this kind of powerful real power even the emperor has to endure three points.

Old Madam Han still looked embarrassed on her face, but she was proud in her heart.

That's what she's trying to achieve, and everything is going in the direction she envisioned.

The most difficult woman to mess with in the whole capital, one is the short-tempered princess of Chengjun, and the other is the stern Mrs. Liu Yushi.

Now that Chen Youning has not yet appeared, he has annoyed them, and it can be said that he is already half a dead person.

When Han Jun came back, she was already a pile of bones, he didn't see Chen Youning's appearance, he just thought that a niece was dead, and he would not doubt what happened back then.

Old Madam Han sighed heavily, and blessed the princess of Chengjun, "The princess of the county, please calm her anger, the old body is not unwilling to give you face, but those chrysanthemums are ruined, and I am afraid that I will be disrespect......ful to you when I move here."

Princess Chengjun frowned, "Concubine Ben is curious, it's only been a few days since the good flowers were moved, why are they so ruined?" ”

Old Madam Han wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but she didn't say anything with red circles under her eyes.

At this time, Zheng's mother led two maids into the pavilion with two pots of chrysanthemums.

As soon as Zheng's mother entered the pavilion, she knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed to Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu Yushi, "It was the old slave who collided with the princess of the county and Mrs. Liu, and please don't annoy the old lady......"

Princess Chengjun's eyes fell on the chrysanthemums in the maid's hand, and one of the pots was rouge point snow.

It was a very beautiful and rare pot of flowers, but there were a few branches that were empty, as if the best silk material had been cut with a few big holes, and the big hole was still in the middle of the cloth, destroying the whole piece of material. It's distressing and annoying.

And another pot of jade peony was also the same fate, which made Mrs. Liu Yushi so distressed that she hugged the flower and shed tears, "Who did it, it's a loss of conscience!" ”

Mother Zheng kowtowed a few more times to Mrs. Han, "Old lady, the old slave has to tell the truth no matter what, and then he will be killed or cut at your disposal." ”

Old Madam Han sighed heavily, closed her eyes and slowly shook her head.

Mother Zheng turned to Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu Yushi again, "Back to the princess of the county, back to Mrs. Liu, our lady in the house likes to eat flowers, especially chrysanthemum buns." And she has quite high requirements for chrysanthemums, only picking the ones with full petals and half-open, and they are coming down with a bun, and I don't know how many pots of chrysanthemums will suffer.

The old lady asked the old slave to go to the flower market every day with the silver to buy chrysanthemums, all for Miss Biao to eat. Although there are a lot of chrysanthemums in the flower room now, there are not a few pots left......"

There was a sigh inside and outside the pavilion.

"Oh my God, such expensive chrysanthemums are used to wrap buns?"

"It's really arrogant, but it's just a cousin under the fence, and she doesn't know how to advance or retreat!"

"The old Duchess is too charitable, so she shouldn't be so left to her temperament, such a scourge, how much silver is enough for her to toss?"

……

Princess Chengjun also put away her annoyance, and was angry with Old Madam Han, "You are really, what do you have to say clearly, what are you doing to cover her up?" ”

Old Madam Han sighed lightly, "What the hell is a poor child......
