Chapter 57: Temptation
"Xiaozhen, come in. ”
"Yes, miss. With a squeak, the door opened.
Xiaozhen came in from outside.
"Miss, but I need to freshen up. ”
Murong Baobao shook his head and asked, "Don't be busy first, let me ask you, do other people know about me pretending to be stupid besides you, Xiaolan, Grandpa and Chengcheng?"
Xiaozhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Without Miss, even Steward Murong doesn't know!"
"Could it be that there are still characters in the house that you don't know?" said Murong Baobao and handed the note in his hand to Xiaozhen.
After reading it, Xiaozhen looked up at Murong Baobao suspiciously and said, "Miss, where did you find this note?"
Murong Baobao pointed to the table and said, "I just saw it here, it should have been placed here before I came back." ”
She still trusts her agility, and it definitely wasn't sent when she was sleeping.
Xiaozhen nodded and said, "That should have been put when Miss went out, and when Miss went out, the slave maid also cleaned up the house, and made sure she didn't see this note." ”
Murong Baobao held his cheeks thoughtfully. Turning his head to ask Xiaozhen.
"And do you know whose it is?"
Xiaozhen shook her head and said, "The slave has never seen it." ”
Murong Baobao nodded, took the note, and thought thoughtfully.
Looking at another note in her hand, which was picked up at the gate of the courtyard, the content was similar to that on the table, all reminding her to be careful of Leng, and Leng's was going to deal with her.
The difference is that the font on the table is neat, and the one at the entrance of the courtyard should have been thrown in from the outside, the lines of words are crooked, and there are typos, and at first glance it is not very good at writing.
Murong Baobao pondered for a while before asking Xiaozhen how she usually gets along with Mrs. Leng, Xiaozhen said softly.
Murong Baobao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Leng and Murong Tiantian are in the hall now?"
Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, the slave maid took it upon herself to let the two of them in, and Xiao Lan was waiting in the hall." ”
said that it was waiting, but in fact, it also meant surveillance, for fear that those two people would make it bad.
Murong Baobao nodded, Xiaozhen and the others are her eldest maids, if the master is resting, they have the right to let the visiting master enter the courtyard and wait.
And they also have the judgment to know when to let other masters in and when not to come in.
Like this Mrs. Leng who came early in the morning and refused to leave, she could only invite her in first, lest the young lady be truthful, anyway, if she came in, they would wait if they wanted.
After finishing speaking, Xiaozhen asked, "Miss, do you want to dress up and go out to see Mrs. Leng now?" ”
The corners of Murong Baobao's mouth were slightly Yang: "No, let's go like this! Presumably Mrs. Leng has been impatient to wait! Since someone has given Miss Ben a wake-up call, then Miss Ben will play again!"
"Yes, miss. "As long as it is something that Murong Baobao decides, Xiaozhen will cooperate and will not ask too much.
Murong Baobao didn't plan to pretend to be stupid anymore, the original owner pretended to be stupid because it could save a lot of trouble.
And the Leng clan doesn't come to find trouble, and she also has enough time to go out and build up power.
Now that she has been proposed to marriage by the royal family, if she is not mistaken, Madame Leng should soon find someone to get rid of her.
So she doesn't plan to wronged herself, it should be quite fun to be angry with Mrs. Leng and Murong to tilt in.
In addition, now that the elemental spirit beads have no clue at all, there is no news about the spirit beads in the library of Murong Mansion.
Murong Baobao wanted to take the opportunity of the palace banquet to go to the academy, and she had an intuition that she might be able to find the whereabouts of the spirit bead there.
Play one last time today!
On the guest house
Madame Leng sat on the left side of the main seat, while Murong Tiantian sat directly on the right side of the main seat.
The left and right main seats of this maid's guest hall let these two sit so grandly.
The meaning was very obvious, he didn't take Murong Baobao in his eyes at all, and even humiliated her a little.
Mrs. Leng is not a wife after all, and she is not on the family tree.
To put it mildly, it is better to have a concubine, and a concubine at least has a name.
Therefore, the Leng family's status is naturally inferior to that of Murong Baobao.
is the flat wife who is on the jade plate, and her identity is not as noble as Murong Baobao.
After all, there is only one mastermother, and a flat wife is just a better title than a concubine, not to mention Murong Tilt.
Murong Tiantian picked up the cup of tea he hadn't drunk a few cups, put it to his mouth, and suddenly put it down with a 'ding' sound.
With a displeased face, he said: "Mother, what does this Murong baby mean, let us sit here for more than an hour, it seems that it is almost noon, this Murong baby has not come out yet, and my daughter is sincere when she sees her." ”
Murong Tiantian was already impatient to wait, and looking at the various decorations in this guest hall, she felt distressed.
These things used to be placed in her guest hall! Now she wants to eat Murong Baobao's heart.
Mrs. Leng was also a little impatient to wait, but she still suppressed her anger and whispered, "Qian'er, have you forgotten the purpose of coming here today?"
Murong tilted a glance at the things that Biyun was holding in his hand with his head down, and instantly remembered what he was doing, but he was still a little angry.
Mrs. Leng looked at her expression, shook her head and glanced at Xiaolan at the door, and then whispered: "Qian'er, you also have to pay attention to your words and deeds, whether it is outside or in the house, you must not have too many complaints, be careful that the wall has ears, you know?"
Murong Tiantian bit his lip and nodded, sorted out his mood, raised a lovely smile and said, "Tian'er knows." ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Leng nodded with satisfaction, and then squinted her eyes and closed her eyes to recuperate.
And Murong Tilt was bored with the tea leaves in the cup.
Murong Baobao saw this scene when he entered the door.
Murong Tiantian saw that Murong Baobao was coming.
Looking at Murong Baobao, who had no veil to block her true face, she was stunned for a moment.
This appearance made her so jealous, and she really wanted to ruin it.
Seeing her cloak come out, she couldn't help but want to sarcastically say a few words to her with a calm face, but remembered Mrs. Leng's words.
In the blink of an eye, she piled up her signature smile and said: "Sister has finally gotten up! But let Tilt and Mother wait for a while! Mother herself is not good, but in order to wait for Sister, she has been sitting for more than an hour! Sister is a snooze, this will be almost noon, not to mention, and it will come out so formless." ”
Mrs. Leng opened her eyes and looked at Murong Qian with an appreciative expression, worthy of being the daughter she taught, although she said this with a smile, but at the same time, she was also accusing Murong Baobao of not respecting her second mother.
However, seeing that Murong Baobao was not veiled, Leng squinted his eyes dangerously, if this Murong Baobao is really good, then she must not be allowed to go to the palace banquet, it seems that she must be removed tonight.
Murong Baobao didn't answer Murong Tian's words, but immediately covered her face with her sleeves, trembling, and looked afraid that others would see her face.
The voice was a little trembling and said, "Xiaozhen, how can there be someone here." ”
Xiaozhen hurriedly stepped forward to put on a veil for Murong Baobao and said: "Miss, you didn't get up more than an hour ago, Mrs. Leng and the second miss came over, and the slave woke up Miss an hour ago, but the young lady was too sleepy and fell asleep, I guess you were in a daze! You ran too fast just now, and the slave didn't have time to put a veil on you."
Murong Baobao, who was wearing the veil, had a look of sudden recollection.
A little frightened, he nodded and said, "It seems that I heard you say that Mrs. Leng is here in a daze, and Miss Ben thought she was dreaming!"
Mrs. Leng, who just wanted to speak, choked, they had been sitting for so long, and the emotional Murong baby thought she was dreaming!
Murong covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My sister slept so soundly, didn't she steal chickens and dogs last night." ”
Murong Baobao ignored Murong Tian, the best way to deal with this kind of person is to ignore it.
Murong Baobao tilted his head and asked Xiaozhen suspiciously: "Xiaozhen, is Mrs. Leng's position in the mansion higher than that of Miss Ben's concubine, didn't grandpa say that I am the biggest in the mansion now besides him?"
Xiaozhen lowered her head and replied, "Naturally, Miss, your status is higher than that of Mrs. Leng." ”
Murong Baobao nodded and said, "Then why is Mrs. Leng sitting in my seat, didn't grandpa say that this position is mine? ”
In fact, the old man didn't say these words, but Murong Baobao didn't want to be taken advantage of by Mrs. Leng, so he moved out of the old man, anyway, the Leng family didn't dare to ask the old man if he had said this.
When Mrs. Leng heard Murong Baobao's words, she instantly clenched her hand under her sleeve, but her face was not obvious.
just smiled and said: "What the baby said is right, it was Erniang who didn't pay attention and sat wrong." ”
In fact, Mrs. Leng was also sitting in this position for the first time, and the purpose of doing this was to test Murong Baobao.
Although Murong Baobao can distinguish between primary and secondary, it is because of the old man's reminder.
At this time, she came out with her hair disheveled, and as soon as she came out, she was frightened, for fear that others would see her appearance.
Mrs. Leng couldn't tell whether she was good or bad now, so she could only follow her first, and then test it again.
Murong didn't know what Mrs. Leng thought, and he didn't have Mrs. Leng's bearing.
Murong Baobao has been ignoring her since she came in, and now when she hears Murong Baobao's words, she can't pretend anymore in an instant.
Murong tilted the table and said angrily: "Murong Baobao, don't you just take my sister and mother in your eyes. ”
Murong Baobao said with a confused face: "What is my sister talking about? Could it be that my sister did something wrong?"
Murong Tian was even more angry when he heard Murong Baobao's words, and he didn't know what she was angry about.
Murong stood up and wanted to accuse Murong Baobao of disrespecting the old and loving the young, but Mrs. Leng stopped it.
"Tilt, your sister is not wrong, it is your mother's fault, have you forgotten that your mother is here to apologize to your sister?"
The last sentence accentuated the tone, intended to remind Murong of the purpose of this trip.
Sure enough, Murong Tiantian instantly understood, and was unwilling to go to the left side of the lower row and sit down, while Mrs. Leng walked to the position where Murong Tiantian was sitting and sat down.
After watching Murong Baobao sit down on the main seat, Mrs. Leng raised her hand and beckoned Biyun to come over.
Biyun lowered her eyebrows and walked over, she was also curious about Murong Baobao's appearance, what kind of ugliness could she be?
She had never seen it before, and just now Murong Baobao blocked it so fast that she didn't have time to see it.
Biyun put the things in his hand on the table in the main seat, and then stepped back.
Mrs. Leng said gently: "Baby, the cook's matter Erniang really doesn't want to go, although the old slave made his own claim to deduct the meal, but Erniang is also responsible, this snow silk is Erniang specially found someone to find, although it is not as good as the spirit silk sent by the old man, but this is also Erniang's heart, the baby should not be disgusted." ”
Murong Baobao said it in his heart, this Mrs. Leng said it well.
In a few words, he picked himself out and pointed all the faults at the cook.
And the smell of this dress...... Interesting.
She lowered her eyes and looked at this set of light pink clothes, and smiled coldly in her heart, it turned out that the Leng family was waiting for her here!
Hehe, then don't blame her for a tooth for a tooth, but in order to prevent the Leng family from having another moth, she will accept the clothes first.
When the time comes, she will have a way to get rid of the booty from her clothes.
Since Erniang said so, the baby accepted it. ”
Mrs. Leng nodded with a smile and said, "The baby must wear it for tomorrow's palace banquet! ”
Murong Baobao nodded and didn't speak again.
Mrs. Leng knew that she didn't talk much, so she didn't say anything, and looked at her wearing a veil.
Mrs. Leng sighed lightly and said, "The baby is a good figure, but it's a pity that your appearance is a pity." ”
Murong Baobao sneered in his heart, testing her again.
She didn't show it on her face, lowered her eyes and didn't speak, and she looked very sad and inferior.
Mrs. Leng secretly looked at her and found that she didn't look like a fake, so her heart was half relieved.
She secretly sneered, if this Murong baby's brain is not good and she participates in the palace banquet with a veil, then give her a few more days to live!
Mrs. Leng said comfortingly: "But the baby's veiled appearance gives people a mysterious feeling, and it is not bad." ”
Murong Baobao raised his head and asked with an unconfident face: "What Erniang said is true." ”
Mrs. Leng said in a coaxing tone: "Erniang can still lie to you, remember to cover the veil when you attend the palace banquet tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he touched Murong Baobao's head, with a loving look.
Murong Baobao dodged without a trace, and then nodded heavily and said, "Okay, listen to Erniang." ”
