Chapter 151: Tea Ceremony
Xiao Jinyue glanced at the second lady, only to see that she was sitting on the side of the chair only half of the circle, it seems that she was injured by the big white goose yesterday, and she was very resentful in her heart, she even disregarded her face and said such explicit words in front of a room of juniors.
The third lady gently moved the right leg wrapped in a strip of white cloth under the pleated Ruyiyue skirt, raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Jinyue, and said slowly, "But how did I hear that the Duchess asked Mama Zhu to help the princess and concubine clean up the mattress earlier, but she didn't bring back the veil, and Mama Zhu was even beaten on the board." ”
"Our Zhenguo Mansion is full of kind people, but the princess is inevitably too ruthless. If you can't take out the handkerchief, it doesn't matter, how can you be embarrassed and punish Mama Zhu with forty boards. She's old, what's the difference between you and asking for her life? Besides, seeing blood in your newlywed days is too unlucky. ”
Xiao Jinyue almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sky, this third lady didn't look at talking softly, but inside and outside the words, she was sarcastic that she was no longer innocent before she married into the Zhenguo Mansion. also because he couldn't get Yuan Pa to prove his innocence, he was angry and punished Mama Zhu with forty boards.
Lu Chengting's face has turned black into the background color of the pot, and the third lady Jiang's words are undoubtedly saying that Xiao Jinyue cuckolded him. He's not stupid, how can he not listen to it.
Holding back his anger, he said coldly, "Third aunt, please be cautious, don't slander the reputation of the princess at will. My nephew was poisoned and unconscious, and a quarter of an hour before Mama Zhu arrived at Shi'an Yuan, I had just woken up. ”
This means that he had been unconscious until this morning, and he did not wake up until Mama Zhu arrived at Shi'an Yuan this morning. There was no cave room at all last night, how could Xiao Jinyue get Yuanpa.
Although Lu Chengting's words were vague, he had clearly proved Xiao Jinyue's innocence.
The second lady was chased by the big white goose yesterday and twisted her buttocks, and the third lady was pecked on the calf by the big yellow duck, the two of them were angry in their hearts, and they had no scruples when they spoke, just thinking about embarrassing Xiao Jinyue.
But a few older young masters and girls in the room didn't still know anything about the affairs between men and women, and they were so embarrassed by the explicit words of the second and third ladies that their ears were red, and they wanted to quit the main hall, but they didn't dare to move at all because of such an embarrassing scene.
wanted to open their mouths to interrupt them, but they thought that the two of them were elders, and they were talking about such embarrassing things, so they were too embarrassed to speak, so they could only fidget in front of the deaf.
Duchess Guo sensed that something was wrong and frowned to change the topic.
She persuaded with a bitter face, "Since the princess married into our Zhenguo Mansion as she wished, and took out the antidote to save the prince, for the sake of your age, this matter will be settled."
However, in the future, you husband and wife must get along well, and the prince must not hold a grudge against the princess, and the princess cannot poison the princess at every turn in the future......"
Lu Chengting glanced at him steadily, and opened his mouth to interrupt her unfinished words, "The county lord is too careful, the poison in my body has nothing to do with the princess." ”
Xiao Jinyue was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that he didn't call Mrs. Guo neither mother nor madam, but called her the county lord.
Meng Rongyue was stunned in her heart, although this usually didn't call her mother, she just called her Mrs. Unexpectedly, he actually called her the county lord in front of so many people on the first day that Xiao Jinyue's slut entered the door.
Although her title is the county lord of Chang'an, it is true, but now that she is the duchess of the country, she just calls her the county lord, which is deliberately slapping her face in front of Xiao Jinyue's bride.
Lu Chengting's voice of the county lord, the second and third masters all frowned, and they stopped talking for a while, but they didn't say anything.
The second lady and the third lady glanced at each other in unison, and when they saw that each other was watching a good show, they were also silent.
However, the second girl glared at Lu Chengting angrily, "Big brother, it doesn't matter if you don't call your mother for so many years, how can you call the county lord." You are still the son of our country's government, what about your rules and etiquette? ”
Lu Chengting glanced at her lightly, "Second sister, haven't you forgotten that my mother is now in the ancestral hall of the Zhenguo Mansion." It seems that the second sister doesn't have a good memory, so you better learn your rules and etiquette from your grandmother first, and you won't have to worry about the eldest brother's affairs. ”
"Big brother, you ......".
The second girl didn't expect that the eldest brother, who was usually gentle to her, would lose her face in front of so many people. She glared at Xiao Jinyue angrily, it must have been the new sister-in-law who said something bad about her in front of her eldest brother.
Xiao Jinyue almost turned her face into the sky, she was sitting and lying down.
The second young master sneered, "Big brother, my mother has been married to the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years, and you are still obsessed." My mother is also married back by my father, so why can't I be your mother......"
"Alright, you all don't have to say a word. After all, the son of the world is the eldest brother, and as brothers and sisters, you must always remember to respect your brother and not be angry at will. It is even more important not to kill each other and hurt the harmony between brothers and sisters. ”
The lord of Chang'an County took the grandeur of the Duchess of the country, and beat two sentences lightly and heavily, and then the words changed, "It's not too early, it's time to serve tea, but it's ......"
Xiao Jinyue has been silently listening to the words of several people, as soon as the words of the county lord of Chang'an came out, she had a hunch that the county lord began to give her a banquet.
Really.
Meng Rongyue's next sentence was, "However, before serving tea, the princess will drink this bowl of medicine first." ”
The second lady and the third lady glanced at each other, and immediately turned their heads away, one reached out to brush the hair on the sideburns, and the other reached out to pick up the tea cup on the table and tasted it slowly.
Most of the people in the hall looked puzzled, shouldn't they be serving tea, why do they have to drink medicine first, could it be that the newly married princess is sick?
But her face is ruddy, not like a patient.
Standing behind the county lord of Chang'an was her grandmother Jiang, who reprimanded the maid who came over with the medicine bowl with an impatient face, "What are you doing there stupidly, why don't you bring the medicine over quickly, and if you rub it again, the medicine will be cold." ”
Lu Chengting's sword eyebrows were raised, he glanced at the maid who was serving the medicine, and looked sideways at Xiao Jinyue, who was sitting next to him.
Xiao Jinyue saw his question in his eyes...... What medicine to drink?
Xiao Jinyue glanced at him and asked him with her eyes, what medicine do you think your good stepmother can give me?
Lu Chengting saw the meaning in her eyes, and his brows were even tighter.
The maid who served the medicine secretly glanced at Lu Chengting, and then looked down at the medicine bowl in her hand, she didn't want to move. But the Duchess sitting at the top was quietly watching her every move.
The maid knew that she had to take the medicine badly today, so she could only bite her lip and slowly took the first step with a white face, but the tray in her hand trembled.
At this time, the main hall was so quiet that it could be heard that the needle was falling, and the maid noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, and her hand trembled even more.
The county lord of Chang'an frowned invisibly, and glanced at the nurse beside him.
