good meal

Chapter 456
Hearing that it was Ci'en Temple, everyone couldn't help but be awed.

Although the wives present here are all of high status, not everyone goes to the Ci'en Temple. If it is not the mother of King Mingyang, how can the old lady invite the masters of the Ci'en Temple to have a vegetarian banquet?

Of course, this is not just a matter of a vegetarian feast. Now that the court is in chaos, King Mingyang is the only one who stays out of the matter. Even the case of fireworks before was stopped by the holy majesty in the middle of the investigation.

It stands to reason that King Yang's reputation should be reduced, but now the matter of Ci'en Temple has been revealed.

The wives who came here just to inquire about their thoughts had ideas one after another, and they went to talk to their husbands after the banquet was over.

There was no wine to have fun, and everyone had their own concerns, so the banquet didn't take long, so Chu Liangrao went ahead to report the disturbance.

All the wives got up to see each other off one after another, and each of them was extremely considerate.

Chu Liangrao wasn't there, so they didn't need to stay longer, they wanted to ask their personal servant girl to ask about the appearance of the front hall, but they heard Du's mother say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the front hall is already closed, and your lords are waiting outside the door. .”

They actually broke up at the same time, it can be seen that the husband and wife are indeed of the same heart...

Mrs. Xiong, who was not very active that day, had a slightly brighter gaze. She gave the maid a look, and deliberately left behind.

"Madam Xiong." Ding Lan, who saw the signs, came over and asked respectfully, "Is there anything I need a servant?"

Mrs. Xiong saw that it was Ding Lan and not Ding Xiang who came, she laughed inwardly, and she was embarrassed: "What should I do, I just found out that one of the earrings is missing, I wanted the servant girl to look for it, but I didn't want to disturb the house .”

Ding Lan looked up, and sure enough Mrs. Xiong's left ear was empty, while the earring left alone on the right was very valuable at first glance.

Immediately, Ding Lan said: "Madam Xiong, please stay for a cup of hot tea, and this slave will send someone to look for it."

"It's really troublesome." Mrs. Xiong said in a friendly manner.

On the other end, Chu Liangrao had already learned about the loss of Mrs. Xiong's earrings, and she asked, "Did you see where it was thrown?"

"I see." Zhou's mother said, "It's in the pond in the front yard. It was thrown by Mrs. Xiong's personal maid."

"She is willing to pay the price." Chu Liangrao said, covering the box on his face with his hand, and said, "Please let Madam Xiong come over."

Mother Zhou responded and stepped back.

After all, Mrs. Xiong is also a martial artist, it would be bad for Zhou's mother to show up, so the two maids, Zhen'er and Zhu'er, went to invite her.

Mrs. Xiong stood up, still with a worried look on her face: "It's really disturbing the Princess."

Zhen'er and Zhu'er smiled, but did not answer.

Seeing how knowledgeable the two servant girls are, Madam Xiong asked again: "By the way, why don't you see Miss Lilac today?"

Zhen'er bowed her head and replied: "Returning to Madam, Sister Ding Xiang has other errands now, so it's the servant who came here."

Mrs. Xiong understood, and said, "I see."

Without further ado, Mrs. Xiong came to the door with two maids.

Zhen'er and Zhu'er stood on one side, pushed open the door, with a courteous attitude: "Madam, please come inside."

Mrs. Xiong nodded and stepped into the house.

I saw Chu Liangrao sitting sideways, seemingly lost in thought, and beside her was the gift box sent by Princess Yin Hua just now.

Standing up straight, Mrs. Xiong was blessed, and said apologetically: "Princess, my concubine has caused you trouble."

Chu Liangrao came back to his senses, and said: "What are you talking about Ma'am, it's because the house was negligent that you lost your belongings."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiong took off the earring on her right ear, and said: "It's not a valuable item at all, but after all, it was a gift from your husband, so I have been reluctant to wear it, I don't want to wear it for a day and then such a thing will happen. "

These words conveyed two meanings, the first was that she dressed up so solemnly for the full moon ceremony, and the second was that she had a good relationship with Master Xiong.

It has to be said that Mrs. Xiong is indeed a smart person. Seeing that Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan were in harmony, she thought of playing the emotional card.

If they can have the same family background, it will be easy for people to like them.

It's just that Mrs. Xiong was negligent. If Mr. Xiong had sincere feelings for her, why would he even cherish the earrings so much.Like Chu Liangrao, what she wears on her head and body are all made by Huo Tainan. If she didn't wear them, Huo Tainan would still have objections.

In addition, Master Xiong paid a lot of money for his new house, even Chu Liangrao, who never went out, heard about Master Xiong and Cui'e.He is so lavish on a common room, but stingy on his main wife, how can this win people's favor?
Even so, Chu Liangrao still showed regret, and said: "I have already sent someone to look for it, I hope I can find it, otherwise, wouldn't it hurt the harmony between your husband and wife?"

"The princess is serious." Mrs. Xiong said gently, "My husband is not such a narrow-minded person."

The implication is to tell Chu Liangrao that his family can make friends.

Chu Liangrao also made a gesture, saying: "Whether the thing is found or not, Madam is surprised. There is a small profit here, and I hope to accept it." After finishing speaking, he handed the box to Ding Lan.

Ding Lan handed it over to Mrs. Xiong.

"This is..." Mrs. Xiong took the gift box, but did not dare to open it.

Chu Liangrao said: "It's just a small meaning."

Mrs. Xiong weighed the weight in her hand, but she couldn't guess what was in the box, but she was sure that it must have been a gift from Princess Yinhua, why did the princess hand it over to herself?

He looked up at Chu Liangrao's face, and saw that she had a peaceful face, neither expecting nor urging, as if her facial features were the same as if she couldn't open her eyes.

Such an attitude of staying out of the matter is really unpredictable.

Mrs. Xiong thought for a while, thinking maybe it was Princess Yin Hua's intention, but her friendship with Princess Yin Hua should be nothing.If it's not because of my relationship, then it must be related to my husband.

Thinking of this, Madam Xiong opened the box without further hesitation.

There was nothing in the box except a brightly colored square scarf.

Different from the silk handkerchief she is used to, this square scarf looks very thick, and the bright colors are even more eye-catching, but it reveals a bit of exotic style.

It's just a veil, it's hard for Mrs. Xiong to guess what Princess Yin Hua means, and Chu Liangrao doesn't say much, she can't even start a routine.

Just when Mrs. Xiong was in trouble, she heard someone report: "Princess, madam, I found it."

Mrs. Xiong subconsciously looked at the maid standing beside her, but saw the maid bit her lip and shook her head slightly at herself.

Mrs. Xiong knew the people around her well. If it wasn't for the servant girl who was on a business trip, then Princess Ning'an might have been on guard. Thinking about it, Mrs. Xiong's eyes could not help but sink a bit.
