After a while, Shen Qingluan's cold voice sounded behind the window: "Cuicui, I asked you to go to Zhuangzi to inspect a few days ago, and you can see Lao Zhangtou." ”

Cuicui's crisp voice continued: "Of course the slave remembers that the old man was blind and was arranged to pick up dung on the Zhuangzi.

When the slave maid went, he splashed the dung on the head of the village, and was being dipped into the dung bucket by the head of the village, but fortunately the slave and the maid immediately stopped, so that he was not choked to death by the dung. ”

"It's pathetic." Shen Qingluan's voice was careless, but it was particularly clearly imprinted in Changdong's mind.

"But it's also self-inflicted, he was originally used by the old marquis's side, but he thinks very highly of himself and actually speaks disrespectfully to the steward of the Wu family, laughing at him for being blind and blind.

The old marquis was the most important rule, not only punished him severely, but also blinded him, so that he no longer dared to talk nonsense. ”

Shen Qingluan sighed faintly.

Although Chang Dong didn't see her appearance, he subconsciously felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, his legs were weak, and he fell to his knees.

Cuicui grinned, "It turns out that there is such a story in it, the slave maid didn't know it yet, and it is also true that although the Wu family is not as famous as the Shen family for a hundred years, it has been in business for many years in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Lao Zhangtou made disrespectful remarks, if the old marquis was not severely punished, wouldn't he deliberately attract the Wu family's hatred? ”

Changdong, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble.

The Wu family is not as good as the Shen family, and the old marquis also severely punished Uncle Zhang for a sentence.

What did he just say?

Inside the house, Shen Qingluan pushed away the chair and made a screeching noise.

Changdong was frightened for a while, the two tremblers did not stop, and he was busy and trembling to forgive:

"Madame forgives, the villain just said nonsense in his heart for a while, offended Madame, and I am willing to ask Madame for forgiveness!"

There was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Shen Qingluan sat down at the table, deaf to Changdong's pleas for mercy, and still chatted:

"The old marquis has clear rewards and punishments, and he acts fairly, and the uncle has also inherited this, plus the distant brother is studying in the Shen family, and the uncle also respects my Shen family."

The fear in Changdong's heart climbed to the peak for a while!

How did he forget about this stubble! The uncle values the young master the most, if it affects the young master's studies, the uncle will definitely kill him alive!

The other subordinates in the courtyard also did not dare to come out.

Speaking of which, if Shen Qingluan directly reprimanded and severely punished him for a sentence, it would inevitably seem to be a big fuss and lose her identity, and it would also make the people in the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion think that she was harsh.

But she knocked like this, and pointed out the fact that Jun Yuan wanted to study in the Shen family, which made people feel more and more that the Shen family was like a behemoth that could not be desecrated, and it showed her high prestige.

Changdong's hands and feet couldn't stop softening, and seeing that there seemed to be no sound inside, he hurriedly pleaded with a crying voice:

"Madame spares her life, the villain knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to do it again in the future, so she begs Madame to spare the minion."

The courtyard was silent, except for the chirping of magpies, and the cries of begging for mercy were incessant.

Shen Qingluan was unmoved, sitting in front of the mirror, Zhu Zhu held her hair.

Cuicui picked and chose in the makeup, and said aggrievedly for a while: "Mrs. usually loves only two plain silver hairpins, and the slave is really sorry for Madame's beauty." ”

Shen Qingluan looked sideways at the head she was holding in her hand, and said casually: "Don't be a pity, just wear this pair." ”

Cuicui's round eyes overflowed with incredulity, "Madam, are you serious? ”

Shen Qingluan nodded with a smile.

She looks gorgeous, her temperament is clear, and her narrow phoenix eyes are slightly raised, and she has a pride that looks down on the world.

But in order to ask Jun Hongbai for love, she lowered her eyebrows and eyes, restrained her demeanor to imitate Du Wenniang's delicate and timid appearance, and forced an awkward posture.

For such a man, she is so stupid that it makes people laugh.

Jun Hongbai's side dared to be rude to her as a lady, and she also suffered by herself.

Shen Qingluan asked Cuicui to dress her up, and at the same time picked out the first two plain silver hairpins in the makeup, "Don't waste these two hairpins, wait for Du Mianmian to reward her when she serves tea, the hostess will reward her, and she will not refuse." ”

The master and servant talked and laughed for a while before getting up.

Out of the house, Chang Dong kowtowed to forgiveness, and his voice became more and more miserable.

Shen Qingluan passed by him without squinting, without even taking a second look, and left.

In the main courtyard, Du Mianmian and Liu Yueniang were already waiting on the side.

Liu Yueniang had already been placed in the Hou Mansion by Shen Qingluan, so she passed by Jun Chengsong's farce.

This will sit down peacefully, and when he saw Shen Qingluan entering, he hurriedly got up and saluted her.

Du Mianmian was left in place by her, looking extremely unscrupulous.

Du Mianmian was already aggrieved, and this would be even more full of tears Du eyes to hook Jun Hongbai.

She is Du Wenniang's own sister, she looks five points similar to her, and today she deliberately imitates Du Wenniang's favorite dress when she was alive.

With thin willow eyebrows and cherry mouth, flowing clouds and long hairpins, she should have been a pitiful beauty.

But Jun Chengsong stripped off his clothes and humiliated him, and the weakness of this will become an embarrassment that is difficult to get into the elegant hall.

Jun Hongbai could still see her in his eyes, since Shen Qingluan appeared, his eyes were only focused on her.

Shen Qingluan helped Liu Yueniang to get up, and the skirt was as beautiful as green waves, as if the aura of heaven and earth was poured into her.

She sat down in her seat, turned her head to look at Du Mianmian, and pretended to be surprised:

"Hey, why did Aunt Du just wear an ill-fitting dress and go out? It's not that the Du family is hugely rich, why don't they even buy you a proper shirt? ”

The weakness on Du Mianmian's face was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he was washed clean.

She glared at Shen Qingluan resentfully, but when she saw it, she was instantly embarrassed.

Shen Qingluan dresses up simply and plainly on weekdays, and is accustomed to low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

She looks beautiful but has no aura, just an ordinary, beautiful woman.

Du Mianmian asked herself that although her appearance was not as good as her, she was full of wealth and gold, and she stood with Shen Qingluan, no matter what, she should have their own merits.

But today, Shen Qingluan slightly applied fat powder, with an elegant hairpin, and sat on the top slowly.

Her extremely gorgeous face and graceful and elegant bearing were more dazzling than dignified and delicate jewelry, and they were so dazzling that Du Mianmian was dizzy for a while.

She didn't open her mouth to answer Shen Qingluan's words.

Fortunately, Shen Qingluan didn't mean to greet her, so she smiled casually and was ready to instruct her subordinates to prepare an aunt ceremony.

What she gave Liu Yueniang was an ordinary cloisonné gold bracelet, with ordinary color, but the bracelet had peony fine lines.

Du Mianmian pursed his lips disdainfully.

Although the Shen family is a family, Shen Qingluan's branch is poor.

In the past, she couldn't be on the stage when she was dressed up, but I didn't expect even to give gifts so shabby.

Liu Yueniang respectfully took it.

When it was Du Mianmian's turn, she stared at Shen Qingluan with round eyes.

Even if she had been mentally prepared for a long time, when she saw Cuicui handing out two plain silver hairpins, she was still so angry that she clenched her silver teeth.

Shen Qingluan actually dared to treat her so lightly!

His eyes rolled, and he changed his aggrieved appearance.

"Although Yueniang and I are concubines, we are also two family girls, not such cheap concubines. Mrs. gave me a plain silver hairpin, how could I give Yueniang such crude jewelry, didn't I want people to laugh at the little family of the Hou Mansion's mother? ”

She personally withdrew a jade bracelet with an excellent head from her hand and put it on Liu Yueniang's hand.

"Madame is not thoughtful, let's be more considerate. This jade bracelet is made of fine southern jade, worth three hundred taels, and I will give her to you, which can be regarded as making up for the faux pas of Madame. ”

When Liu Yueniang heard this, she did not refuse.

The jade bracelet was put on her hand, shaking Du Mianmian's eyes sour.

But she couldn't hold back the distress, and pretended to smile generously, "Madam, the concubine makes her own opinions, but it is also for the face of the Hou Mansion, Madame should not blame." ”

Shen Qingluan met her smug eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly opened into a faint smile.

It seems to be expected, and it seems to be mocking and ridiculing.

Before Du Mianmian had time to think deeply, he listened to Shen Qingluan say slowly:

This bracelet is called the red makeup peony bracelet, it is said that the founding queen saw the goddess in her sleep, and the queen was dignified, and her words and deeds flowed from the heart, and she was given a bracelet to her.

After the queen woke up, she really saw a bracelet carved with peony patterns on the pillow, and since then she can't put it down, and named it a red peony bracelet. Therefore, in this dynasty, it is often given to people with this bracelet to show blessings. ”

After saying this, Du Mianmian's face was wonderful.

Where did she think that this seemingly worthless bracelet would have such a big origin.

"I see."

Du Mianmian smiled awkwardly, wishing to turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear on the spot.

Everyone in the room looked at her strangely, and Liu Yueniang even took off the jade bracelet she gave her, took the red makeup peony bracelet and put it on her hand.

"Thank you Madame for the reward, the concubine will definitely wear it every day, and live up to Madame's kindness."

This action is tantamount to a slap on Du Mianmian's head, Du Mianmian gritted his teeth and said:

"Madame, although this bracelet is good, but in the end it is simpler, my jade bracelet is extremely expensive, Yueniang, you take it and let outsiders look at our Hou Mansion."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Qingluan: "No wonder you can't get married in your twenties, you have such a superficial and ignorant problem." The most important thing for a woman is not her appearance and wealth, but her virtue and vision.

You claim to be born rich, but does that wealth have anything to do with you? Lying on other people's bodies and squandering, you think that you also have the ability to turn over your hands and make money, which shows that you are short-sighted and shallow-minded. ”

She belittled Du Mianmian, and said unhurriedly to Jun Hongbai: "A woman like this, ordinary poor farmers will not marry home, and the uncle has a unique taste, and he has to touch whatever fragrant and smelly things as he wants."

It's just a concubine, with many mouths and multiple bowls. Aunt Du, in the future, you will stay in Hanxi Pavilion and walk less in the Hou Mansion, so as not to be tired and the uncle will lose face outside, and you will not have to affect the reputation of the children. ”

Du Mianmian bit her lip tightly, and trembled with anger.

What is hateful is that Jun Hongbai did not stand up to defend her when he heard this, but twisted his eyebrows and made up for it:

"Qingluan has an extraordinary background and outstanding knowledge, and it is your blessing to be willing to guide you. Listen, don't be as bad as you are today. ”

Seeing the obvious disgust in his eyes, Du Mianmian quickly realized that she was the iron fist of Shen Qingluan.

Hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he would never dare next time, and thanked Shen Qingluan for his reward.

As he spoke, he put two plain silver hairpins on his head, and looked at Jun Hongbai with remorse and weakness on his face.
