It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 151

After Nian finished speaking, he couldn't understand the hatred, and stared at Pearl's face sternly, and saw that there was a smile on her mouth, and there was disdain in that smile, and she didn't panic at all because of her anger, but looked at her happily. She stood where she was in a rage, not dodging or avoiding, the tea splashed over stained the corner of her clothes with tea leaves, and she even took off her handkerchief and dusted it off.

The more Nian looked, the angrier he was, he pinched Xiyue's arm. She had long nails because she had to play the piano. Fortunately, she wore thick clothes in winter, otherwise the skin would be torn. : "Are you deaf? Slap her mouth!"

From the bottom of her heart, Xiyue never regarded Nian as her master. Except for the two dowry girls, Nanny Gui and Taozhi Taoye, none of the servants in this courtyard were assigned by the main courtyard.Even Taozhi Taoye doesn't have the same heart as Nianshi, how can others listen to her and offend Pearl?
Xiyue got two blows on her arm and felt angry, but she didn't show it to her face, she helped Nianshi up, with a panicked expression on her face: "Master, be careful!" She moved her body in front of Nianshi to block the pearl, Stretching out his hand to comfort Nian, he patted her back and rubbed her heart with both hands, pretending that he couldn't hear Nian's anger, and ignored what she just said.

The two peach branches and peach leaves were waiting outside the house, when they heard something wrong with the voice inside, the two of them looked at each other first, then shrank their heads, tiptoed down to the kitchen, one took snacks and the other hot water, pretending to listen not see.

All the women and girls in the corridor stood still when they heard the sound, and their ears were pricked up. Those who were inquisitive saw Taozhi and Taoye going to the kitchen, and followed them, but no one came to the front of the room.

Pearl raised her brows and smiled, Nian's face was flushed, and the nails that had been carefully cared for were broken halfway on the table, no wonder she was so angry, saying these words was like a basin of dirty water around her head It poured it down, and it made her dirty from head to toe.

Who dared to say such things to her from the previous life to the present life? Zhou Ting's move was equivalent to taking off her face and throwing it on the ground. She wanted to point and scold Pearl twice, but Xi Yue slapped her hard , Coughed up, nearly vomited my heart out.

Pearl twitched: "Ci Fujin should take good care of his body. Playing the piano tonight will be exhausting. Our master said that the sound has been spread to Ba Prince's house. Fang Fujin is really good at it."

Nian's eyes were red, her face was white and blue, she stretched out her hand and tried to find something to throw at it, but there was only a plate of oranges on the table, she had no strength in her hand, so she pushed with all her strength, and the oranges were all gone. After getting out, more than half of them landed in front of her.

Xiyue pursed her mouth and almost laughed out loud, she just turned her face away, and didn't tell Nian Shi, she circled around in the room, and brought a spit box after a while, saying that Nian Shi was called phlegm to block it If you cough up your throat, just cough it up.After a while, he opened the curtain to the outside and yelled water three times and four times, which made Nian Shi very angry.

The cup came so fast that neither of them could react. When they realized that the tea had been splashed on Pearl, the two hurriedly took out their handkerchiefs to wipe Pearl's clothes, and kept looking at Pearl and Xiyue. , These two sang together and performed such a good show, which made Nian hold the breath in his chest and couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

What Zhou Ting said was half-literal, that is to say, Nian Shi was married in the original body, so if you want to change it to a newly married woman, you may not understand this.Ladies are most afraid of hearing these things, rich and noble people control them even more tightly, these things seem to be detrimental to the reputation of the boudoir at all.Even when playing wine during the New Year's festival, there are unmarried people, so you need to be cautious when ordering excerpts.

It's different when you're married, you can listen to nasty words, and you don't have any big scruples when you make fun of them. It's like drawing two circles.

Wenjun Xiangru, Yingying and Zhang Sheng all came from operas, and even the maids in the big family like Pearl Agate couldn't listen to these eclectic dramas, for fear of instigating their unmarried masters.If he hadn't been waiting by Zhou Ting's side, he wouldn't have known these allusions. At this moment, seeing Nian Shi understood the words, the corner of his mouth twitched, no wonder he was so unruly.

Nian took a breath for a while, and none of the girls standing in the room took her words seriously, glared at Xiyue, then pursed her lips and sneered: "Fujin is really good at regulating people, after this If you commit a crime, you should be tied up and dragged out to be beaten to death." She didn't believe that Nala could say these words anymore, and no matter how bad she was, she was on the jade certificate, which really made everyone ashamed: "Since the girl has such courage If you act wild in front of me, I'd like to ask Fujin if I should ask someone to tie you up!"

Pearl is not afraid of her at all. Since Zhou Ting can ask her to pass on these words, she is not afraid of Nian Shi taking things out of her mouth and clenching the four words "the following offends the above" to make a fuss: "Cai Fujin's words are so vivid." There is no theory, the slave was ordered by Fujin to teach Fang Fujin, if he is not tame, it is fine, there is still a master who can make decisions, and there is no way to get along with the servant." He pointed to the wet clothes, There was a smile between his eyebrows: "You don't need to worry about the servant's affairs. It's better for Jie Fujin to take care of himself. Now there is no master above who doesn't know that Cai Fujin plays the piano every night."

Pearl's last two words dragged out her tone, and her voice became ambiguous when she hooked up, as if pointing at Nian Shi's nose and saying that she was unruly and undignified, Nian Shi's bloody face turned pale again, tense. Clenching his fists tightly, he bent his back and gasped for breath.

I am afraid of spreading the word, and it changes when it is passed on. Nian only played it twice at night. Usually, he invited the princesses from the west courtyard to come to the courtyard, set up Zhangqin and serve some melon and fruit snacks. Joke around and play another paragraph.

The concubines in Ba Age's mansion lived in dire straits, since Yiwei was pregnant, she huddled in the courtyard and could not make a sound. Hearing the sound of having fun in the next mansion, they naturally felt resentful. When it comes to the appearance of the empress dowager, it is another appearance.

Nian's qi was bitter, half of his nails dug into the flesh, and the skin was scratched, and he pointed his palms to his heart, and his heart was aroused under the pain.Knowing that this matter has come to the fore, the other concubine De has always stood by Nala's side, and she has already lost in this process alone.

She couldn't let Pearl go, but Xiyue could move. The girl next to her turned her elbows to the main courtyard, and she couldn't keep her by her side. She didn't know when she sold her.Nian's anger was high just now, and now she calmed down and realized that Zhou Ting had figured out that she had nowhere to ask for help, no matter how harsh her words were, she could only swallow the big grievances, and even if she turned around again in the future, she would not be able to help her. Can't get rid of the word "frivolous".

Scratching Xiyue with the tip of his eyes, he said coldly at Pearl: "This is what I said, when I see Fujin, I have my own theory, whether it is good or not, I will write you down first. , I won't let it go lightly." These words made her almost swallow a fly, and she couldn't bear it now, she had to bear it, one day she would get rid of these shallow-sighted things.

Except for marrying Shiro, there is nothing she wants so far. Nian is not stupid. She understands that the best policy is to endure now, and there will always be a chance to turn things around in the future. Think about who is involved in this matter.The more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhou Ting wants to ruin her reputation. Although she has left, her eyeliner still stays in the mansion. Maybe she is just playing with Fujin!

The more I think about it, the more I hate her, I just hope that one day in the future I will be able to trample her under my feet, and she doesn't know how to lose Xiyue. The girl suffers.

The words have already come to this point, seeing that Nian is just trying to hold up his face, he has already panicked inside, Zhu Zhu took the wet skirt and gave a blessing, without saying a word of resignation, turned around and went out the door, the two of them just walked out. Secretly thinking about Pearl's actions, he was a little more transparent than before, followed Pearl and retreated.

Then Nian slammed his hand on the table, and the bracelet on his wrist slammed on the table and made a "bang bang" sound. After he smashed it hard for a while, he spread his hand and looked at the palm of his hand. A large piece of skin appeared, and the palm was completely red. As soon as he picked it up, he took a deep breath with a "silk" sound, and at this moment, the two peach branches and peach leaves came in from the outer room, holding a tray of copper pots in their hands, with no expression on their faces: "The snacks just brought by the servant, how come?" Your sister Pearl has already left?"

Nian Shi glanced at the two of them, seeing the embarrassment on the two faces, and suddenly heard Nian Shi say coldly: "You don't know how to protect the master, so go outside and kneel, when will you scream, when will you come back?" stand up."

Xiyue knew about this section long ago, so she didn't know the difference, lifted the curtain and stood under the corridor, picked up a piece of snow-free ground, gritted her teeth and ran down, only to feel her knees were cold, and she saw Taozhi coming out with a drooping face, Turning sideways to her, muttering: "Master said, ask sister to kneel outside the corridor, so as not to block people's way."

Xiyue had already made Taozhi and Taoye two first-class maids, and she was not unhappy when she was punished, but she knew that this matter was not as clean as it looked, and she was afraid of being complained by Xiyue, so she turned around. Looking for something to do, Nian is fine, but they will be implicated.

After hearing this, Xiyue raised her eyes slightly to see Nian Shi standing behind the glass window and looking at herself, she gritted her teeth, if she hadn't stopped her just now and asked Nian Shi to slap Pearl's face, what would happen now? Afraid that all the servants in the yard would have no way out, she squeezed the cotton trousers and felt they were still thick, so she stood up and walked down the corridor, where there was only one path, and snow fell everywhere else, since Nian told her to stay out of the way , That is to tell her to kneel in the snow.

I knelt down hard in my heart, the snow had been falling for several days, at this time the ground was covered with ice scum, and when I knelt down, there were two snow nests, the cotton jacket and trousers were useless at all, the coldness disappeared after a while Soak up the bones.

Xiyue grew up in the mansion since she was a child. Although her family is not the most respectable, they are also intertwined in this mansion. She has been more clever than others since she was a child, otherwise she would not have been assigned to the Nian family by Pearl. Beside him, he rubbed his arm, his eyebrows sank, he glanced at the door, and gave the gatekeeper a wink, the woman understood, moved towards the door a few times, turned around and went out.

Pearl was going back in the car all the way. There was a charcoal basin in the car, which dried her wet clothes in a short while, but the fragrance of tea in her body was getting more and more inside the clothes. Put on dirty clothes and report to Zhou Ting.

Yinzhen was reporting that Hongzhao was sitting in front of the case and talking about the pre-Ming. He was talking about the extravagance of concubines and maids in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. A year's makeup costs more than 40 yuan. How does Hongzhao know how much 40 yuan is? He didn't even know how dishonest it would be to eat a candied haws, so he just exchanged it with his own silver coin.

Yinzhen was patient, and the two girls were also by his side, lying on the table and watching him take the details of Zhou Ting's case and draw them on the paper, starting with the state capital, and then talking about the annual tax of each place, poor families How much money is spent a year, how much money a rich family spends a year, and later on Zhou Ting also came over to calculate the accounts. The 40 a year makeup money of Ming Palace alone is enough for a family to spend two years and have more than enough.

Although Hongzhao was young, Yinzhen could understand when he explained the details layer by layer. He was holding up his fingers and wanted to speak, but suddenly he raised his head with his nose sniffling.

Pearl just lifted the curtain and came in, with a thick layer of tea scent on her body, Zhou Ting looked at her from top to bottom, raised her eyebrows, tilted her head and smiled at Yinzhen: "Master bothered to look at these children." Said Turning to the inner room, Pearl followed behind her, leaned into her ear and said a few words, Zhou Ting paused, then moved her legs and walked into the room again.

Pearl's words and deeds were different as usual, and Yinzhen was most familiar with the tea scent on her body. He was attracted to Zhou Ting, and his eyes naturally followed Zhou Ting, and frowned when she saw her stop and look unhappy. Hongzhao tugged at his sleeve, and then he lowered his head again, picked up some things from the Ming Dynasty and told him slowly: "For example, horse mouth firewood is only available for sacrifices now, and red snail charcoal is not expensive. Fei, you can only do it in your mother's house, and no one else can do it, but in the past, it cost tens of millions of catties a year..."

The voice gradually faded, Zhou Ting pursed her lips and smiled at Pearl, since she had done enough of the play this time, she was going to wait for Nian to make a fool of herself.
