Chapter 196: Kneel (Second Watch)
Old Madam Han's heart sank.
She inquired from Han Qinglian, and Han Youning clearly wrote two posts to the Zhongguo Mansion!
How could there be only one?
It's good for anyone to fall at today's banquet, but not this Nanzhang county lord!
This matter was enough to make those small families make trouble in front of them, and they didn't dare to delve into anything, but it was able to ruin Han Youning's reputation. Those officials went to Han Jun to mention it again, and it was hard to say whether Han Youning, the housekeeper, could keep it.
But the county lord of Nanzhang is not a person who can whitewash the peace with just two sentences.
provoked her, she relied on having a grandmother who was the queen mother, and she had to stir up the house to make the chickens and dogs restless. If you get involved in the slightest matter, whether you are innocent or not, don't even think about it!
She hurriedly asked, "Ning'er didn't give the county lord a post?"
Hu Mingzhu snorted coldly.
Mrs. Han apologized again and again, "There must be something wrong, the old man also specially asked about the post sent to the Zhongguo Mansion, and I heard that it was a two-......
Hu Mingzhu sneered, "You pushed it clean, she looked around the hall, "Which one is Miss Han, I also brought a congratulatory gift here."
Old Madam Han said, "Ning'er accompanied the county lord of Danyang and the county lord of Jiahe to visit the garden, and the old man sent someone to ask her to come over and see the county lord."
Hu Mingzhu snorted coldly, "It's really smart, and he knows how to pick a valuable friend."
She looked at Han Qingwan, "Miss Han...... Oh no, it's time to call you Miss Han Er, you come and show me the way, I have to hand over the congratulatory gift to her."
Han Qingwan has been numb by the sound of "Miss Han Er" today, but listening to Hu Mingzhu's emphasis, she still can't help but feel suffocated.
But she was more worried about how to get herself and her grandmother out of this matter.
Seeing Hu Mingzhu and the others asking for guilt and leaving, several ladies in the hall couldn't hold back their curiosity and followed out.
Han Youning and the three of them were about to go back to the flower hall, when they saw Hu Mingzhu coming over from a distance, and behind them were a group of ladies.
Zhao Xiang'er stood up, "Alas, looking at that posture, it looks like I'm here to find fault. Sister Youning, have you offended her?"
Han Youning glanced at it lightly, and said that the most blatant target of her in her previous life was this Nanzhang County Lord.
"Who is she? I don't recognize it."
Zhao Xiang'er rolled up her sleeves, "The county lord of Nanzhang, the master with long eyes and the top of his head, there is no one she can look down on in the whole capital. Don't be afraid, others are afraid of her, but I'm not afraid."
As he spoke, Hu Mingzhu walked up.
She held her chin high and stared at Han Youning, "You are Han Youning?"
Han Youning got up with a smile, "Nanzhang County Lord."
Hu Mingzhu smiled contemptuously, "It's really a fat girl. These days, the sky is full of your news, the eldest lady of the Han family is infinitely beautiful, and the uncle of Master Qingde is no one can see it."
Zhao Xiang'er stood in front of Han Youning, "Who, who's fat? The county lord saw clearly, she is young, and she has never heard of fat milk or fat?"
Hu Mingzhu is eighteen years old, and he can't hear others mention his age, so he suddenly turned cold, "I haven't heard of being a teenager and still fat and fat!"
Han Youning gently pushed Zhao Xiang'er away and said with a smile, "County Lord, I can't compare. But if no one can see it, they still can't bear it."
Hu Mingzhu snorted coldly and raised the post in his hand, "You ordered this post?"
Han Youning smiled, "Exactly."
Hu Mingzhu had anger on her face, "'Duchess of Guo and her daughter', she is loyal to Duchess Guo and has only one son, where did she come from? My Hu Mingzhu's mother is the eldest princess!"
Han Youning apologized, "I first came to the capital, and I just learned about the county lord's reputation from Xiang'er, which is really offensive, and I hope the county lord will forgive me."
Hu Mingzhu sneered, "Still pretending to be stupid, your grandmother said that you wrote two invitations, why did it become one again?"
Han Youning sighed, "If Grandmother asks me, she must explain the county lord to me
How could I do such a stupid thing that provokes criticism? What's in it for me?"
Han Qingwan had the heart to explain to her grandmother, but she couldn't say it.
She could only walk up to Han Youning and remind in a low voice, "Eldest sister, grandmother is an elder."
If you don't maintain the face of your elders in front of others, you are unfilial.
Han Youning was silent, and blessed Hu Mingzhu, "It's mine, isn't it. Presumably, my grandmother was recuperating for many days, and her speech was a little slurred, but I didn't hear it. I also hope that the king of the county will not blame his grandmother, and if he is responsible, he will bear it with all his might."
Han Qingwan was angry, what you said, who can't hear that you are taking the blame for your grandmother?
Hu Mingzhu clasped his chest, "Your grandmother, I don't want to blame you for it, but since you feel that you are wrong, kneel down and kowtow to me three times."
Zhao Xiang'er came out again and shouted, "Hu Mingzhu, don't go too far, Master Qingde still wants to kowtow to Sister Youning, can you afford her big gift?"
Hu Mingzhu sneered, "I'm not in the Buddha Gate, what can't I stand it? Those who pretend to be gods and devils are believed by others, but I don't believe them!"
"You...... You are disrespectful to the Buddha!" Zhao Xiang'er was like a little hedgehog with teeth and claws, but she couldn't figure out how to deal with her.
Wang Caidan, who had been watching from the sidelines, smiled, "Cousin, do you know who else is coming to the house today?"
Hu Mingzhu was much more polite to Wang Caidan, but she was not very affectionate, she said lightly, "I know what, I don't know."
Wang Caidan smiled, "Then it seems that I know." new
She pointed to the pavilion on the rockery, "Cousin, look, the window in that attic is open, and it's winter, how can it be open?"
Hu Mingzhu looked up, and there was really a window open. However, the pavilion is located on high ground, and there are tree branches to cover it, so it is difficult to see the situation inside.
But someone will open the window, and someone will close the window when there is no one.
Women wear clothes and are unable to move, and generally do not like to go to such high places to climb mountains, and usually men go up.
And this place belongs to the inner house, and there are many female dependents, and the men who can come in must be noble, and they have to be accompanied by the men in the house.
The people who came to the mansion today are the crown prince and the third prince.
Hu Mingzhu glanced at Han Youning, "Those who don't know are not guilty, so I won't care about you."
"Thank you, Lord Shire."
Han Youning also guessed who the person in there was.
In other words, everything happened under Zhao Chen's nose.
She thought about it for a while, there were no loopholes, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to everyone, "It's too cold outside, and it's even worse on this water, let's go to the flower hall to talk, right?"
Hu Mingzhu said, "You go back first, it's the first time I've been here, and I want to go shopping again."
"It's fine. Second sister, you accompany the county lord and the young ladies."
Han Youning instructed Han Qingwan, and then pulled Xiang'er and Wang Caidan out.
"Fat girl, wait!"
