Flowers are expensive

Chapter 243 Training Ah Jin and
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. You yelled softly, "Your princess taught you this too? Fortunately, she came from a famous family, why are you talking so thoughtlessly? You actually talked about your prince behind your back! Do you want to take it out with you? What are you doing?"

Ah Jinyu didn't dare to talk back, and lowered his head slightly, he said: "Your maidservant knows, it's fine if your maidservant doesn't say anything in the future! It's just that the Han people have a saying that justice is at ease in people's hearts. Even if your maidservant doesn't say it, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide it from everyone. !"

Mrs. You was about to speak, but Lihua interrupted her by raising her hand, put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked, "I'm puzzled, why did you come up with such a sentence that is fair and comfortable? Is it because I am not smart enough, or is it your Chinese language?" Didn't learn it?"

Ah Jin and Leng Mei said: "Madam, why do you need to ask this question? Shouldn't my heart be as clear as a mirror? The prince is unfair to his wife, but favors his concubine; his wife does not live in the east courtyard, but is moved to the west courtyard." , What kind of reasoning is this? That's why this servant has the courage to say, justice is at your fingertips!"

"It sounds like your princess is aggrieved?"

"Naturally! Are you still complaining about your grievances, Ma'am? It's something that no one can expect for a commoner girl to enter the palace at once."

"Oh," Lihua shook her head lightly, "To be honest, in comparison, I am more wronged than your princess, do you know that?"

Ah Jin looked at her puzzled and asked, "Are you more wronged than my princess?"

Lihua nodded and said: "I am really wronged as a concubine. I think Zhao Yuanyin married me when his memory didn't come back, so it was said that he was marrying me. But in the blink of an eye, he remembered everything I have become a latecomer, can I not be wronged?"

Ajin and plausibly said: "Even if this is the case, you are still young, and my princess is still the main wife. This cannot be changed! You can discuss seniority with my princess, it is your previous life's blessing!"

"Is it bad luck?"

"you……"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you here anymore, and it's not up to you to decide on this matter."

"Yes, this matter is not up to the prince himself! No matter what the prince thinks, he has to weigh my princess's natal family."

"Dali Kingdom?"

Ah Jinhe raised his head proudly and said: "That's right! My princess is a princess bestowed by the Lord of Dali. Although she was not born by the Lord, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, so she is undoubtedly her own. If the Lord wants to touch her , to help you do the right thing, then you have to ask the king to agree or not! So, you should sit in your little place in peace!"

Lihua smiled mischievously, and asked with her chin in her hand, "Then what if I'm restless?"

Ah Jinyu said in an arrogant tone like that on the mirror stage: "Do you still need to ask this? If you are restless, you will really make yourself uncomfortable! What is the identity of my princess, and what is your identity? Please weigh it carefully!"

Lihua stood up slowly, walked up to Ah Jinyu, looked him up and down and said, "Now we don't care about your princess and my identity, but let's talk about your identity first. You are so eloquent, so tell me Me, what identity are you?"

A Jinyu was taken aback, and replied: "Naturally, the maidservant is the princess's dowry maid, so there is no need to ask? New lady, you don't even know this point, do you? You must have heard a thing or two about the rules of marrying daughters from rich families in the county, right?"

With her hands behind her back, Lihua walked around Ah Jinyu, seeing that Ah Jinyu was a little creepy, wondering what was going on in her mind.Afterwards, Lihua said, "Well, that's right! You are the dowry of your princess, and you are considered a member of this mansion when you come to this mansion, right?"

"That's natural."

"Then let me ask you again, in this mansion, do your princess and Zhao Yuanyin discuss the status of the princess and the prince, or the status of husband and wife?"

"The new madam's question is really funny!" Ah Jin and snorted and said, "The princess and the prince are naturally discussing the status of husband and wife. Could there be something else?"

"The answer is better!" Lihua continued to smile and nodded.These words made Ah Jinyu puzzled, and Madam You and Cuiyue also puzzled.Cuiyue asked curiously: "Pear Blossom, why do you ask this question?"

Lihua smiled but did not answer. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly turned around and asked Dong'er: "According to the rules of the house, how should the punishment be for being disrespectful to the master?"

Dong'er replied: "If you are disrespectful to your master, you will be punished for forty years, and your salary will be fined for three months; if you are grossly disrespectful, you will be punished for sixty years, and you will be expelled from the palace!"

"Well, I understand," Lihua pointed at Ah Jin and said to Dong'er, "Find some quick-moving people to drag this girl away. Disrespect is fine, let's punish her for disrespect!"

Dong'er froze for a moment, glanced at Mrs. You, and didn't move.Ah Jinyu who was next to him immediately asked: "Why should Madam punish the servant? Why is the servant accused of being disrespectful? If Madam doesn't make it clear, this punishment of the servant is absolutely unacceptable!"

Li Hua walked up to her and stood face to face with her, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, she asked, "You still said you weren't disrespectful? Then why were you yelling just now?"

"The servant is just not convinced..."

"So? Can you yell at the master because you are not convinced?" Lihua glanced at A Jinyu, then turned and asked Mrs. You, "Nurse, do you know the rules in this house?"

Mrs. You felt happy for a while, she thought that Lihua was a little white rabbit, but who knew it was a little fox who could only bite people.She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Although the palace is not comparable to the Banna Mansion in Dali City, there are still rules. How can a slave and maidservant yell at their master? If so, it would be disrespectful."

Lihua turned around and spread her hands, with a look on her face that I would do nothing if I didn't punish you, and said, "How? I didn't mean to embarrass you, did I? There was such a rule in the mansion."

Ah Jin and anxiously blushed, stiffened their necks and said: "Even so, the servant is not convinced. Madam clearly intends to embarrass the servant! Even if you want to punish the servant, you have to ask my princess! At least the servant was brought here from Dali Is it true that Madam will punish you as she says?"

"Since you are a member of the palace, why can't I punish you?"

Ah Jin and Yi said everything in a hurry.I saw her frowning, and said with a sneer: "Ma'am, she takes herself too seriously! The servant girl told you so well before, but it turned out to be for nothing! Ma'am is from a mediocre family, and she is already favored by the prince. It's a blessing, and being able to be sisters with my princess is a blessing from heaven. Who knows that you really don't care about blessings at all! If you really punish me now, I'm afraid that your wife's position will not be secure Already!"

"Oh? What will happen then?" Li Hua teased Ah Jin and Dao with great interest.

"You can try it!" Ah Jinyu said in a threatening tone, "If you touch your slaves, let's see if my princess will care about you! Even if the prince loves you, he can't ignore the face of Dali! Is there any reason for my princess to be insulted by a village woman? Ma'am, I trouble you to be self-aware!"

"A Jinyu!" Madam You shouted, "Don't go too far! With your status as a princess, you dare to say anything!"

Ah Jin and plausible words said: "This servant is telling the truth!"

"Pear Blossom," Mrs. You said to Li Blossom, "Don't pay attention to this girl, she just wants to express her anger for her master, there's no need to be serious with her."

Madam Lihua Chongyou nodded and smiled, then stared at Ajinyu and said: "You are right in what you said just now. I am indeed from a mediocre background, at most I am just a village woman. It is a pity that your princess just If you meet a village woman who doesn't understand common sense, count her unlucky!"

Ah Jinyu looked at Lihua blankly, puzzled.Lihua tilted her head, and asked with a smile: "Don't you understand? Then go back and think about it carefully! If you don't understand, your princess must have read poetry and books, and she will definitely understand. Today's punishment will be avoided. , but—it's not because your master is a princess, and your princess's natal family is the master of Dali, but my wife never likes to punish, and sister Cuiyue is here again today, so I'm afraid that she will startle her pregnancy, so let me forgive you for the time being. Let me offend you, my slave once. If there is another time, I will never forgive you lightly, understand?"

Ah Jinyu was angry and ashamed, and blurted out: "I still don't believe you dare to punish me!"

Mrs. You stared, and shouted sharply: "You are presumptuous in my warm pavilion, are you out of your wits? It's because of her kindness that Lihua didn't punish you today. How can the people in the house be disciplined? In front of a serious master, you don’t even need to use honorifics, and your attitude is so arrogant, it’s too much! Dong’er!”

"The servant is here!" Dong'er answered.

"Get a cane that is three fingers wide, and then lead this lowly servant girl back to the Jinghu Pavilion, and give the cane to Princess Xuan. Just tell her, send the cane, and she will be punished or not. Weigh it yourself, but there will be no next time!"

Dong'er complied, and pulled Ah Jin and out of the Nuan Pavilion.Mrs. You sighed softly and said, "A Jinyu is the most arrogant person under this Jingtai, but she is relying on her princess master. Lihua, don't take it to heart, just listen to it."

Li Hua returned to her seat, poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to Mrs. You with a smile, "I never take this kind of thing to heart, don't be unhappy, nurse."

Mrs. You took the tea, looked at Lihua thoughtfully and said, "Looking at you just now, you really look like the wife of the head of the house. I can wholeheartedly entrust you with the affairs of this house. Although the mirror stage Tricky and domineering, but Yuan Yin is here, she dare not do anything to you."

Cui Yue covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Just now that girl said a lot of insulting things to you, I want to get up and scold her, but you can calm down and tease her!"

Lihua said: "I don't think she would dare to be serious with me, but she just wanted to gain advantage in her words. This time I will spare her, and I will not be so easy to deal with next time. I will marry Zhao Yuanyin in a legitimate way , I didn’t steal or rob, why should I be so shameful? I have made an agreement with Zhao Yuanyin, I will not be a concubine, and he wants the concubine to find another one.”

"You are such a difficult girl to serve!" Cui Yue giggled.The two talked about Lihua's shop in Yucheng again, and they chatted very lively.Madam You couldn't get in the conversation, so she sat beside her silently drinking tea, her eyes glanced at Lihua from time to time.

After lunch, Lihua took Cuiyue to the east courtyard, and the Nuan Pavilion became quiet.When Dong'er opened the door and came in, Mrs. You raised her head and asked her, "What did the mirror say?"

Dong'er said: "Even with a dark face and nothing to say, she will not be punished. Madam has already given her face today. If it is really punished, Ah Jinyu will not be able to escape."

Madam You fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, looked at Lamei blooming enchantingly outside the window and said: "I did this to warn her, don't indulge yourself and the people under your hands too much, you will embarrass yourself."

"Madam is so kind, I still don't forget to mention her at this time."

"Anyway, after getting along for a while, I can understand a thing or two about her unhappiness. But, as you can see, I'm afraid she won't accept my kindness."

"If this continues, when the lord comes back, she will ask for trouble! Today, the slaves have seen that the new lady is really not easy to deal with. Look at the way she admonished Ah Jinyu just now, no matter how you look at it. It's not like a rustic village woman from the countryside."

Mrs. You nodded and said: "I don't look like it, but I look like someone who has studied for two years. Who knows? What I'm worried about right now is another thing."

"what's up?"

"It's good for Yuan Yin to bring her back, but Yuan Yin has to be placed at the end of the mirror stage. Didn't you hear what she said during the banquet? Don't be a concubine, Yuan Yin just wants to find some other concubines. Listen These words seem to be unwilling to succumb to the mirror, and have to fight for the title of concubine before giving up."
