The daughter of the incense on the pillow is above

Chapter 184 Whimsical
"A young son of a sixth-rank official of the Hanlin Academy can marry a concubine lady in the general's mansion, which is considered a high marriage. What are they dissatisfied with?" Xie Qinghe said coldly, quite a high-ranking person to a low-ranking person "Handle things beautifully, don't let her realize that this matter has anything to do with our Hou Mansion."

"Ma'am, if something happens to Xiao Jinyan in the Hou's residence, Madam will not be able to blame her. Madam should discuss this matter with the second master more." The mother-in-law spoke cautiously after consideration.

"What's there to discuss?" Xie Qinghe replied angrily, "After all these years of planning, I haven't seen him do anything for Wushuang. After looking for that bitch for many years, haven't you been trying to persuade Mrs. Ben to give up, saying that bitch has long since If you die, you can't die again. Look, you all give this wife a good look, that bitch Xiao Jinyan is not only alive and well, but she wants to snatch everything that belongs to Wushuang. This lady will never let her go, never."

The more she talked, the more excited she became, her eyes were red.

The mother-in-law was terrified when she saw it, and she repeatedly persuaded, "Ma'am, don't be angry, it's not worth your body to get angry because of such a bitch."

"Who cares about her body when she is so angry? For her, Mrs. Ben hasn't had a good night's sleep for so many years. She is just haunted. Why do you want to come back? Why do you want to rob Wushuang? Just think of people outside Compared with Wushuang, my heart is like a knife. She is just a slut, what can be compared with Wushuang? She relies on nothing more than a vixen-like face. If her face is destroyed, Mrs. Ben Let's see who can save her, haha, will Chu Xuanye still like her by then?"

This insane appearance clearly shows that he has fallen into a demonic barrier.

The mother-in-law thought to herself, should I send someone to the second master to talk about it later, so that the second master can make preparations for this as soon as possible.

"Don't worry about it. If something happens out of the ordinary, this lady will pull your skin. Don't think that if you follow this lady, this lady will be reluctant to touch you." After all, it is the master, Xie Qinghe didn't see the mother-in-law running around. You can tell what's going on in her mind just by looking at her eyeballs.So Xie Qinghe sneered and directly cut off her retreat.

"This old slave doesn't dare to make up his own mind, so I'll find someone to arrange it." The old woman said briskly, but she smiled wryly in her heart.

She is Xie Qinghe's nanny. Over the years, she has helped Xie Qinghe deal with private matters in private.

Others said she was blessed, and Xie Qinghe treated her like a family member, and envied her for being the celebrity and confidant around Mrs. Hou.But only the mother-in-law knows that Xie Qinghe is not as open-minded and kind as outsiders see, and she is far from trusting her as others see.

Just as Xie Qinghe knew her deeply, she also knew Xie Qinghe very thoroughly.From the mother-in-law's point of view, in this world, apart from Mo Wushuang, the one Xie Qinghe loves most is actually herself.In Xie Qinghe's mind, the rest are dispensable people, including Xie Qinghe's own two sons in the Hou Mansion.

A woman who doesn't pay attention to her own son, how can she really care about a servant, an outsider?

The mother-in-law thought pessimistically, if there was a way out, she would rather escape from the madman Xie Qinghe.Unfortunately, she can't. She is not afraid of death alone, but she still has her sons, daughters and grandchildren. If she escapes, what will her children and grandchildren do?
This is the saddest thing for the mother-in-law, and it is also the reason why she had to bite the bullet and help Xie Qinghe deal with the latter matter.

"Master Hou." Before the mother-in-law went out, the girl guarding the outer room suddenly called out loudly.

Xie Qinghe immediately adjusted her makeup, and the mother-in-law also calmed down the panic on her face.

Then, I saw Lord Hou lift the curtain and enter the room.

"What's the matter? Who angered you again?" After entering the room, Hou Zhenyuan saw the debris on the ground at first glance, and then saw Xie Qinghe's red eyes, and couldn't help asking in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's just that a little incident happened." Xie Qinghe put on a weak appearance and explained lightly.

Hou Ye likes her tone, she is strong in her weakness, and a little cold in her strength. In his eyes, Xie Qinghe is many times better than those rouge vulgar fans outside.

"If you hadn't been wronged, how could you be so sad?" Hou Ye continued to ask with a good man's posture.

"Ma'am, she..." The mother-in-law and Xie Qinghe have always cooperated well, and Xie Qinghe wanted to talk, so she had to stand up and do supplementary matters.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. Nanny, let someone come in and clean up the ground quickly, so that Lord Hou won't accidentally step on it and get hurt." Xie Qinghe seemed to be thinking about Zhenyuanhou everywhere.

After Zhenyuan Hou heard this, he really felt much more comfortable in his heart. He felt that what he had done to Xie Qinghe all these years was absolutely right.Only married couples have one heart. As for the aunts in the yard and the outer rooms raised outside, they can only be used as toys for fun, and they must not communicate with each other.

"The old slave will order someone to come in and clean up." The old woman took a deep look at Xie Qinghe, her eyes were full of pity and distress.

Zhenyuan Hou saw their master and servant interacting, and his doubts deepened.

"And what kind of blind things make you so worried and angry?" Zhenyuanhou's face darkened, as if he immediately found the culprit to help Xie Qinghe vent his anger.

"It's nothing, it's not something that happened in the mansion." Xie Qinghe explained with a handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"It's not about the mansion, who else would piss off Madam like this?"

"It's not that Xiao Jinyan who received a thousand knives." This time Xie Qinghe didn't answer, the one who spoke was the woman who went out and came in again.

"Talky." Xie Qinghe glared at the mother-in-law reproachfully.

"It's all because of the old slave's mouth. I forgot my wife's confession." The old woman slapped herself lightly.

"How did Xiao Jinyan offend you?" Marquis Zhenyuan was even more puzzled after hearing what the old woman said.

Don't look at him drinking and drinking all day long, it seems that he doesn't have any lofty ambitions.In fact, he really knew who Xiao Jinyan was.

This is also due to the fact that Xiao Jinyan's reputation is too loud.

In the past half month, what is the hottest topic in the capital?Going out and asking, who doesn't know about the relationship between Xiangfu, Rongwangfu, Yuemanlou and Xiao Jinyan.

Although everyone dared not discuss publicly because of the family status of Prince Rong's Mansion, Xiang's Mansion and Yue's Family, in fact, this topic is very hot. Behind the scenes, there are already many people betting on who will Chu Xuanye choose in the end?Can the marriages appointed by the first emperor in Xiangfu and Rongwangfu continue?
Hou Ye was also very curious about Xiao Jinyan himself.

Think about it, a woman who can tempt two of the three masters in the capital is really capable.It is said that even the uncertain Mr. Qi also has a good impression of Xiao Jinyan. Someone once saw Mr. Qi defend Xiao Jinyan in public.

Of course, many people also believed this, after all, Xiao Jinyan and Chu Xuanqi also had business contacts.

Wow, a woman has taken care of the third son of the capital, Xiao Jinyan has completely transformed into a vixen in most people's minds.

In addition, Xiao Jinyan is still the owner of the nightclub, the hostess of a flower house, just thinking about these conditions is enough to make everyone's blood swell.

Hou Ye had thought more than once that if one day he saw Xiao Jinyan in women's clothing with his own eyes, it would be an eye-addiction.

"Master Hou knows it clearly, so why bother to ask?" Xie Qinghe wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and gave Zhenyuan Hou a white look reproachfully.

"Benhou really doesn't understand." Zhenyuanhou looked at her stupidly and answered, a little distracted.Although Xie Qinghe is close to 14 years old, but she is well maintained and looks like she is only in her early thirties at most.

A woman in her 30s is still acting like a girl. Xie Qinghe not only does not look artificial, but adds a different kind of fun to her.

Zhenyuan Hou usually loves her tune.

"Master Hou is still pretending." Xie Qinghe put down the veil and said unhappy, "Master Hou really doesn't care about Wushuang at all."

There was a little bit of complaint in her unnatural tone.

Marquis Zhenyuan was not annoyed either, he always knew that Xie Qinghe liked his daughter, but unfortunately since Xie Qinghe had an accident, she could never have another child.

There are concubines in the mansion, Xie Qinghe usually treats those concubines very well.This is also the reason why Marquis Zhenyuan loves Xie Qinghe very much. Think about it, which mansion's mistress can care for every concubine like Xie Qinghe, and when he goes out, who doesn't praise the girls in the Hou's mansion for being treated by the mistress? Taught well.

However, what Xie Qinghe loves the most is not these concubine daughters in the mansion, what she treasures the most is Mo Wushuang, the first daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion.Because Mo Wushuang and the Xie family look the most alike, and there is more or less the shadow of Xie Qinghe on his body.

Regarding this point, Master Hou didn't care about it, on the contrary, he felt a little more pity for Xie Qinghe.He understood that the reason why Xie Qinghe was kind to Mo Wushuang was not because he transferred all his mother's love to Mo Wushuang, who said that Mo Wushuang and that undesired daughter were born around the same time.

Hey, speaking of it, he still felt sorry for Xie Qinghe. If he hadn't been fascinated by the girl in the flower building, he wouldn't have allowed the bitch in the backyard to take advantage of the loophole and harm that child.

"Madam is worried that Xiao Jinyan will snatch Wu Shuang's marriage?" Master Hou suddenly realized.

"The rumors outside are so ugly, why am I not worried?" Xie Qinghe began to cry again, "Although Wushuang is not our daughter, I have loved her as a daughter all these years. Lord Hou, if it wasn't..."

When Zhenyuanhou saw that she was intending to bring up the previous incident again, he quickly changed the subject, "I also treat Wushuang as a daughter. It's just that Wushuang is the daughter of the Prime Minister's wife, so why should we worry about it?"

"I know, but I can't control myself." Xie Qinghe cried even more sadly, "Master Hou, you don't know, every time I see Wushuang in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I always think, if I can bring her back to Hou What a wonderful house. I have to control myself in front of my sister, Lord Hou knows how sad I have been all these years. "

"Yes, I know everything." Marquis Zhenyuan hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, no matter how good Xiao Jinyan is, no matter how much the crown prince likes her, she can only enter the Rong Palace as a concubine. Wushuang's head can't be done? Ma'am, don't be afraid that this marriage will be dirty. The marriage was made when the first emperor was alive. No matter how favored the Rong Palace is, it can't surpass the former emperor. Even the current emperor and queen mother will not Allow someone like Xiao Jinyan to enter the Rong Palace."

"It's not enough? Who said it's not enough." Seeing him practicing Tai Chi, Xie Qinghe didn't care about Mo Wushuang's life or death at all, and the anger in his heart went up. Have you heard the rumors? Even if Wushuang becomes the crown prince, if she doesn't get the crown prince's favor, how can she live well?"

"Ma'am, don't forget, behind Wushuang is the prime minister's mansion. The Mo family has always protected the weak, not to mention the prime minister's kindness, even the two sons of the Mo family are talents of the younger generation. They treat Wushuang very well." Beloved, can you just watch Wushuang being bullied?" Hou Ye saw that she was really annoyed, so he could only persuade her in a coaxing tone.

"Everyone says that Xiao Jinyan puts on women's clothes and beats all the beauties in the capital. I want to see how beautiful she can be." Xie Qinghe said sternly.

"Madam can't do stupid things." Marquis Zhenyuan was taken aback. In his mind, Xie Qinghe had always been tender and careless. He had never seen such a side of Xie Qinghe.

"Master Hou, madam loves Miss Wushuang very much." Seeing that something bad was going to happen, the mother-in-law hurried to make amends.

Xie Qinghe was startled, then babbled and began to cry. She cried and said, "I don't understand what Hou Ye said. But as soon as I think of Xiao Jinyan who is going to take away everything that should be Wushuang, I think of our daughter .”

When mentioning that unfavorable child, Hou Ye was completely dumb, he was wronged. "Ma'am, everything will be fine. If you want to meet Xiao Jinyan, it's fine, but you can't be stupid and target Xiao Jinyan."

The Marquis of Zhenyuan is ashamed, and he still has the sense that he should have, "My son is new to Xiao Jinyan, and you also know that Chu Xuanye's temperament is unreasonable. He can turn other people's mansions upside down. If Xiao Jinyan comes out If there is an accident, he won't take the face of the Hou Mansion into consideration."

When Zhenyuan Hou mentioned Chu Xuanye, his face was full of helplessness.Although Zhenyuanhou's reputation is quite famous, in fact, his position in the court is quite embarrassing.The merit of the Marquis Mansion is hereditary, and the title of marquis will continue to decrease from generation to generation.

He is very self-aware, he doesn't have much talent, and it is reasonable for the emperor to look down on him, so he has always held the idea of ​​living and enjoying one day without any big ambitions in his chest.

Of course, with his temperament, he is also a fearful personality, so he is worried about Xie Qing He Hulai.

"Master Hou looked down on me again." Xie Qinghe said dissatisfiedly, "Am I the kind of confused person? I'm just angry, I just want to see Xiao Jinyan, and I won't do anything to her. I like Wushuang not bad , but Master Hou and I also have children and grandchildren, even if I don't think about myself, can I still harm my children and grandchildren?"

Feeling angry or angry, Xie Qinghe handled it very well, so Marquis Zhenyuan didn't think much about it.On the contrary, Marquis Zhenyuan was still worried that she was thinking too much, so he hurriedly explained, "Madam has always thought carefully, so I wouldn't worry about it. It's just that Madam always treats Wushuang as her own, so Xiao Jinyan is really hateful. I'm not afraid When Madam sees her, she can't help but get angry, so she just reminded her a few words."

"Mao'er caught the week, I also want to have fun, so I invited the Yumantang troupe over, and I also posted a post for Xiao Jinyan, I want to see if Xiao Jinyan has grown three heads and six arms." Xie Qinghe's voice became calm, "Don't worry, Lord Hou. I also want to take this opportunity to see how Xiao Jinyan looks, whether she is as beautiful as the rumors outside, and I won't really be angry with her."

"It's fine if Ma'am wants to meet her. As Ma'am, posting a message to her is also giving Xiao Jinyan enough face. Even if Chu Xuanye knows, he won't take his anger on you and me." Zhenyuan Hou nodded and replied.

Xie Qinghe saw that he was obviously afraid of things and wanted to find excuses, so she looked down on him even more in her heart, but her face remained calm, so that Zhenyuanhou would not see anything wrong.

Seeing that Xie Qinghe coaxed Marquis Zhenyuan into restraint again, the mother-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.

This day is the day for the banquet in the Hou Mansion, Xiao Jinyan packed herself up early in the morning.

She was wearing a bright red gown with wide sleeves, the front, collar and cuffs were all trimmed with white rabbit fur, and the clothes were decorated with blossoming white plums with silver thread, as long as she moved around, the white plums seemed to come alive.This set of costumes was all made by Chu Xuanye.Ever since Xiao Jinyan made two coats in the cloth shop, Chu Xuanye was not happy.

He is a stingy person, it's fine for Xiao Jinyan to go out to make clothes, the key is that Xiao Jinyan chose the wrong cloth factory, it is the property of Hu Yuemanlou.Xiao Jinyan chose Yuemanlou's Cloth House, wouldn't it mean that she didn't like him if she didn't go to his cloth house?
Therefore, Chu Xuanye, who was envious of jealousy, asked his embroiderer to make a closet full of winter clothes for Xiao Jinyan in the shortest possible time.Inside and out, one piece was left untouched.

Now Xiao Jinyan was angry and had no choice but to pick one from the closet and wear it.

In addition, Chu Xuanye paid a lot of attention to Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan's dressing table was filled with all kinds of boxes. Inside these boxes were all kinds of jewelry that Chu Xuanye bought for Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan didn't like too gorgeous jewelry, so when she went out, she just picked a white jade hairpin to fix her hair in a bun, and tied her hair up with purple and pink cloth strips.This kind of dress seemed simple, but because of its uniqueness, it added a different kind of charm to her.

When Xiao Jinyan went out, she surprised Chu Xuanye and Yue Manlou at the same time.

"I'll go there with you." Yue Manlou stepped forward and said.

Chu Xuanye didn't like dealing with human beings, not to mention the fact that the Hou's Mansion was really unworthy in his eyes, so even if Xiao Jinyan said that he wanted to go to the Hou's Mansion, he didn't take the initiative to offer to go with Xiao Jinyan.

"A woman's banquet, why are you joining in the fun?" Not only was he unwilling to go there, but he also blocked Yuemanlou from going there, and he didn't allow Yuemanlou to follow Xiao Jinyan.

"Chu Xuanye, you're taking it too far." Yue Manlou's eyes turned cold.

"Are you thanking the Lord for giving you a kind reminder?" Chu Xuanye was confident that no one in the whole capital could surpass him when it was his turn to be thick-skinned.

"Brother Yue, I heard that most of the gatherings this time will be for female relatives. It's really inappropriate for you to go there with me." Xiao Jinyan comforted him with a smile, "It's just going to sit and sit, nothing will happen, don't worry alright."

Hearing what she said, Yuemanlou couldn't continue to follow her.

"Serve me well." Chu Xuanye said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord." Zi Su and Ku Xia agreed in unison.

Wang Yao's face turned red, she understood that Chu Xuanye was also telling her on purpose.This was a warning to her for failing to take good care of Xiao Jinyan in the prime minister's residence last time.

After being warned silently, not only did Wang Yao not get angry, but on the contrary, she became more fond of Chu Xuanye.

Only when he truly cared about Xiao Jinyan, would Chu Xuanye put all his heart and soul into arranging everything.

"Brother Yue, son, I'm leaving." Xiao Jinyan said with a smile.

"The snow outside has not melted, so don't take off your cloak at will." Chu Xuanye couldn't help but say nonsense again.

"En." Xiao Jinyan was unusually well-behaved, and Chu Xuanye was very satisfied with her answer, and half-closed her eyes happily.

The three maids were very attentive, they surrounded Xiao Jinyan and went out together.

"You can't compete with me, we are a match made in heaven." When Xiao Jinyan's shadow disappeared, Chu Xuanye suddenly said something to Yuemanlou who was staring at Xiao Jinyan's back in a daze.

"She doesn't want to admit it, are you forcing her to admit it just for your own selfishness?" Yue Manlou's tone was full of anger.

"I will never force her to do something she doesn't want to do. Even if there is no such relationship, we are a match made in heaven." Chu Xuanye said with a smile, "Yuemanlou, you are very talented, and you are very talented to her. You are indeed caring, but you made the mistake of treating her as your confidant from the very beginning."

When Yuemanlou heard this, the hand that was tucked into the sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist.

Chu Xuanye was right. His biggest mistake was that he regarded Xiao Jinyan as his best friend at the beginning.The relationship between men and women is inherently mysterious, and the boundaries between friends are also very subtle.He regarded Xiao Jinyan as his best friend, which caused Xiao Jinyan to judge him as a friend in his mind.

Once this category is set, it is not easy to change it.

On the contrary, Chu Xuanye is much smarter, no, Chu Xuanye is completely wrong.The reason why Xiao Jinyan chose Chu Xuanye as a partner at the beginning was entirely because she wanted to use Chu Xuanye's influence as a backer, but with Chu Xuanye's stalking, Xiao Jinyan may not have realized that she has a deep love for Chu Xuanye. Emotions are shifting.

Perhaps, it is just in response to the old saying that strong women are afraid of pestering their husbands, and women's feelings are very complicated. If you identify the lover in your heart, you will often not change your original intention.Chu Xuanye's stalking tactics are very effective, at least, he is a loser in front of Chu Xuanye.

"You clearly know that Xie Qinghe's purpose is not pure, why did you let her go alone?" Yue Manlou was very annoyed.He has always been pure-minded and ascetic, but today, Chu Xuanye said such a sentence, and his heart was completely messed up.

He is a proud person, not a very good person, it is difficult to catch his eyes.Even Mo Wushuang and Lin Fangfei, who are known as the twin sisters of the capital, he doesn't like.Xiao Jinyan caught his eyes, and then gradually walked into his heart.

When he realized his emotions and made up his mind to spend the rest of his life with Xiao Jinyan, God seemed to play a joke on him.

"If you don't go into the tiger's lair, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. You have to face what you have to face. Instead of letting the enemy attack in the dark, it's better to draw them into the light. Of course, I won't let Jin Yan have the slightest mistake, the Mo family No." Chu Xuanye said with a smile.

"If Jin Yan knew that you would join forces with the Mo family, she would definitely blame you." Yue Manlou said with a sneer, with a tone of schadenfreude.

"The famous Mr. Yue used to be in a hurry." Chu Xuanye laughed loudly, "I can't count as joining hands with the Mo family. Brothers Mo Wuchen and Mo Wuxin went to Jiangnan and sorted things out. I just It's just a favor and sent them a few witnesses."

"Jinyan doesn't like the Mo family." Yue Manlou was very stubborn.

"Whether she likes it or not, it's up to her to decide. I won't force her. Of course, if Jinyan doesn't want to, the Mo family can't force her either. I helped Mo Wuchen and Mo Unintentionally, it's because I hate those self-righteous bastards, they occupy what belongs to Jin Yan for nothing, even if Jin Yan doesn't like it, they don't want to get it for nothing, they have to spit it out to me." Chu Xuanye sneered He opened his mouth, "My father's daughter-in-law is not someone who can plot against everyone. Since they dare to plot against Jinyan, they have to pay a price. The more they care about something, the master will let them lose it. You say, they Wouldn't it be very interesting that something that was planned for so long suddenly disappeared overnight?"

Yuemanlou was silent, and the throbbing pain in his heart became even more severe.

If he and Chu Xuanye switched roles, he might do the same as Chu Xuanye.Anyone who plots against Xiao Jinyan, he will not make it easier for them.

No, even now, he will never let those who hurt Xiao Jinyan feel better.

"As for the Mo family, I wouldn't take them seriously. If they weren't blind, Jinyan wouldn't have been wronged so much." Chu Xuanye said leisurely, "If you want Jinyan to be plain , they are so beautiful."

Yue Manlou looked at Chu Xuanye fixedly, he knew that Chu Xuanye was not exaggerating on purpose.This guy really doesn't like the Mo family very much, it turns out that as long as Xiao Jinyan doesn't like the Mo family in the future, he will still.

With Chu Xuanye's status, he really doesn't need the Mo family to make things better for him.

The more this happened, the more painful Yuemanlou's heart was.Chu Xuanye and Xiao Jinyan, the two names kept circling in his mind, causing his head to hurt slightly.

After Chu Xuanye finished speaking, he felt much happier. Without even looking at Yue Manlou, who was pale, he turned around with a smile and left.

Hmph, if Yuemanlou wants to pry the corner of the wall, it depends on whether he agrees or not.After defeating a rival in love, the most urgent thing to do now is to take care of his daughter-in-law.

Don't look at how confident he was in front of Yuemanlou just now, in fact, he was really worried about leaving Xiao Jinyan under the protection of Zisu, Ku Xia and the dark guard.If you want to feel at ease, of course, I was more practical in the past.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuanye's steps became faster.

Xiao Jinyan, who was going out, didn't know that after she left, the two men had a moderate fight because of her.

She was sitting in the carriage with Tang Pozi in her arms and was in a daze.

Why did Xie Qinghe specially invite her to a banquet?Will they meet Mrs. Mo again at the banquet, or even Mo Wushuang?After all, Xie Qinghe and Mrs. Mo are sisters. In today's scene, it stands to reason that Mrs. Mo will definitely appear.

Will it be embarrassing when we meet each other?And what should she say?
The girls saw her start to be in a daze again, and all of them closed their mouths wisely.

The carriage moved forward very quietly, until it reached the front of the Hou Mansion.

"Miss, we're here." After the carriage stopped, Wang Yao softly reminded Xiao Jinyan.

"Okay, get out of the car." Xiao Jinyan adjusted the robe on her body, and then ordered.

Zi Su, Ku Xia, and Wang Yao got out of the car first, and Xiao Jinyan got out of the car last.

As soon as her feet landed, Zisu immediately took out a red cloak and put it on her.

This cloak is different from the previous red cloak, and the fur color seems to be better.

Xiao Jinyan was afraid of the cold, so she didn't refuse Zisu's kindness, and directly took the cloak and tied it on.

The snow on the ground is thick and hasn't melted yet.However, the area in front of the Hou Mansion has been cleaned up, the blue stone slabs are clean and fresh, not dirty at all.

"Bring the gift." Xiao Jinyan ordered.

"Yes, Miss." Wang Ping agreed, and took out a box from the carriage.

Unlike the last time I went to Mo's Mansion, Xiao Jinyan didn't prepare any calligraphy and painting when she came to Hou's Mansion this time, but asked Wang Ping to prepare a piece of jade to play with.

This gift is a bit vulgar, but it is in line with the favors that rich families give to each other, and it is quite satisfactory.

The servant in charge of registering and receiving gifts in the Hou's Mansion, when he heard the family name reported by Wang Ping, contempt immediately appeared in his eyes.This kind of humiliating gaze made Wang Ping really want to step up and give him a big slap in the face.

Fortunately, Wang Ping didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Jinyan, so he retreated to stand behind Xiao Jinyan with a cold face.

Xiao Jinyan has seen a lot of people who hit the highs and trample the lows.The unfriendly gaze of the servant in the Hou's mansion did not affect her in the slightest. She didn't want to stand out too much, so she walked directly to the backyard with a few girls.

Since Wang Ping was a man, he couldn't go directly to the backyard, so Xiao Jinyan let him hide in the carriage to avoid the wind.

Compared with the Prime Minister's Mansion, the number of guests entertained by the Hou Mansion today is much less. Her arrival has attracted some people's ideas.

Xiao Jin continued to walk in without looking sideways, not caring about other people's gaze at all, and still praised Xie Qinghe's shrewdness in his heart from time to time. With Xie Qinghe's identity and her relationship with Mrs. Mo, the guests who came to the banquet today must be from the capital. Your distinguished guests are right.

Xiao Jinyan didn't know that she had actually guessed wrong, Xie Qinghe liked people who were ostentatious, and wanted to show her difference everywhere, but unfortunately, the big families in the capital are the most respectful of rules.

The family of the Xie family was indeed high back then, but it has declined.Even if there are a few people in the palace to support their faces, it will not help.Xie Luo is fine, she is married to the Prime Minister and the daughter of the Xie family. It is said that she is still holding the amulets given by the former emperor and the first empress dowager. See how she is.

But Xie Qinghe is different, even though Xie Qinghe is the serious wife of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, her status as a concubine of the Xie family is solid.No, strictly speaking, Xie Qinghe is not even a concubine, she is the remaining daughter of the Xie family's concubine.Later, after Xie's house was settled, she was able to return to Xie's house.

With such an identity, Xie Luo was a little embarrassed among the ladies.

The few wives in the capital who really have background are not willing to accept her at all. If it is not for Xie Luo's face, Xie Qinghe probably won't even be able to enter some mansions.

As for these, Xiao Jinyan really didn't know.

She took the three maids and followed the Hou's servant to the backyard.

The backyard of the Hou's Mansion is relatively large, Xie Qinghe really invited more female family members, the weather in winter is relatively cold, most of the invited guests are inside the house, and most of the people standing in the corridors are maids from various prefectures.

"Who are these young ladies?" The appearance of Xiao Jinyan made the woman who was waiting outside be puzzled.The invited female relatives, the mother-in-law also made great efforts to remember their appearance.

Xiao Jinyan was completely unfamiliar to her.

"Xiao Jinyan." Xiao Jinyan spoke directly without waiting for the girl beside her to speak.

When the mother-in-law heard her self-introduction, surprise flashed in her eyes. "Miss Xiao, please, the girls can only be wronged and wait outside."

There was a little pride in her tone, and the maidservants standing in the corridor couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Jinyan, and similarly, there was a little contempt in their eyes.

Wang Yao was furious in her heart, but she knew the rules and knew that she must not cause trouble to Xiao Jinyan at this time, so she could only grit her teeth and stare at the mother-in-law.

Zisu's face became even more proud, she sneered at the old woman and said, "Since the room is small, don't treat me."

Provocative means very heavy.

The mother-in-law's complexion changed, the damn girl dared to look down on the Hou's mansion, she squinted and gave Zisu a sideways look, "The Hou's mansion is so big that only the blind can't see it. Miss Xiao, please forgive me, our Hou's mansion has always been very particular The rules are not compared with those low-level things."

Xiao Jinyan heard that there was something in her words, and said lightly, "Zisu, do you hear that, the Hou Mansion is a very well-regulated place, please ask clearly, and don't make a joke then."

"Yes, miss. Although the servants came from Rong Wang's mansion, I really dare not pretend that I know everything. I will definitely learn from these nuns in a while. How big are the rules in the Hou's mansion?" Zisu sneered. Looking at the old woman, she said, "However, no matter how strict the rules of the Hou Mansion are, the slaves and servants must follow the young lady. This is what the prince has repeatedly ordered. The slaves have no guts to disobey the prince."

The mother-in-law dares to use the Hou Mansion to suppress people!Zisu was even more straightforward, and directly carried it out of Rongwang's mansion.

When the old woman heard this, her face turned blue and white. No matter how big the Hou Mansion is, how could it still be on top of the Rong Wang Mansion?She never expected that the girl next to Xiao Jinyan would actually come from the Rong Palace.

"Face is indeed very important. Even the maidservant of Rong Wang's mansion is called on. I don't know what we should call you?" Just when the mother-in-law didn't know how to respond, a coquettish shout sounded.
