The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 33
The eldest lady said after a long time: "Forget it, just a little maid, if you buy it, you will buy it. Is the net worth clean?"

"Mrs. Hui, this servant was originally born as a hunter, but because of her poor family, she sold herself as a servant." Mo Yu replied.

"En." The lady nodded lightly, expressing her satisfaction: "From now on, I will serve Miss Fifth with all my heart."

"Yes, ma'am." Mo Yu replied.

The eldest lady narrowed her almond eyes and stopped pursuing the matter of Xi Wanqing's private buying of a slave girl. It is a trivial matter for the five girls to buy a maidservant. If she is punished for this matter, if it is spread, wouldn't it be a mistreatment of the concubine? female fame.

At this time, Xi Zhuhua took the manuscripts of female virtues that Huaer copied these days, walked up to the eldest lady, and said coquettishly: "Mother, this is the manuscripts of female virtues that Huaer copied these days. Every word on it is Hua'er hand-copied them all, with Hua'er's sincerity in every word. Hua'er has thought over and over these days that Hua'er shouldn't offend her father and mother. Hua'er knows she's wrong, and she will definitely act in accordance with female virtues in the future. "

The eldest lady took the manuscript of Xi Zhuhua, flipped through a few pages, and saw rows and rows of small characters in seal script, which were both neat and beautiful, and she couldn't help but praise: "Si Yatou's writing is somewhat improved."

"Thank you mother for the compliment." Being praised by the eldest lady, Xi Zhuhua smiled more than Furong.

Xi Wanqing stood in the room in a daze, as if she had been forgotten, waiting to be remembered by the people seated was really not her style, and the two people in front of her made her look disturbing, which made her really uncomfortable.

"Mother, this is what Qing'er copied these days, please take a look at it." Xi Wanqing interrupted the conversation between the two at the right time, raised a pile of papers in his hands, and looked at the eldest lady as if asking for credit. , her expression at this moment is naive at best, but at worst, she looks stupid.

Thinking of that night, when the eldest lady saw her ghostly characters, she frowned and looked disgusted, she just wanted to disgust her.

Seeing the stack of papers in Xi Wanqing's hands, the Da Furen really frowned again, and ordered Qiu Qin: "Go and bring it here and show it to Madam Ben."

"Yes, ma'am." Qiuqin walked up to Xi Wanqing, took a stack of papers from her hand, and handed it to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady didn't take a look, she put it directly on the table next to her, and said with the majesty of the house mistress: "It's good for the fifth girl to know that she made a mistake. Now that she has finished copying, she will put it here. Remember to follow female virtues in the future. , must not lose the face of the Marquis of An Guo."

"Yes, mother." Xi Wanqing lowered her head, twirled the handkerchief with both hands, and let the lady preach, but she snorted coldly in her heart: "Damn, it's not like this lady doesn't like her normally, so I think she will Losing the face of An Guohou's mansion, even Xi Bojian's old face, should be worthy of her."

"Fourth girl, fifth girl, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back separately." The eldest lady looked at the two of them and said indifferently.

"Yes, mother." The two responded to the eldest lady at the same time.

After all, this Xi Zhu painting was not produced by the eldest lady. After all, the eldest lady praised her for her handwriting, but it was just a superficial skill. Xi Wanqing was definitely not liked by her. After spending two cups of tea in Da Furen's room, she was dismissed by Da Furen.

Xi Zhuhua walked lightly with lotus steps, walked up to Xi Wanqing, gave Xi Wanqing a light look, his face was full of complacency and showing off.

"Fifth sister, let's go, don't disturb mother's rest." Xi Zhuhua said.

In An Guohou's Mansion, no one knows, no one knows, Xi Zhuhua is used to saying nice things, trying to please the eldest lady and Xi Bojian, but Xi Bojian really likes her, and because of this, she also Helping the third aunt win a lot of favors, and the eldest lady just wanted to maintain the image of the aunt, and she was not too harsh on the concubines in the mansion, except for Xi Wanqing.

"Yes, Fourth Sister." Xi Wanqing responded to Xi Zhuhua, and followed her out of Taoyuan.

Xi Wanqing buried her head and followed behind Xi Zhuhua without saying a word.

Xi Zhuhua suddenly said: "Fifth sister, do you know that mother has been thinking about finding husbands and sons-in-law for us sisters."

"My sister doesn't know." Xi Wanqing replied lightly.

She hadn't reached Ji, and the marriage was still very early, maybe she had already packed up and left An Guohou's mansion at that time, she had no interest in this topic, Xi Zhuhua smiled sweetly, and continued: "I don't think you know , such things, how can mother tell you."

"Now you can't do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you can't do knitting and female red. It really makes my mother worry. Even if you are the main wife of an ordinary family, you still need your mother to put down her face and say good things. My sister thinks, Instead of marrying into an ordinary family and suffering from poverty and starvation, it is better to marry into an official's family as a concubine."

After Xi Zhuhua finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and took Xi Wanqing's hand: "Sister, this is for your own good too."

"Thank you Fourth Sister for making plans for my younger sister." Xi Wanqing replied in a low voice, as if Xi Zhuhua wasn't talking about her.

When Xi Zhuhua turned around, Xi Wanqing raised her head, staring at the back of Xi Zhuhua's head with a pair of clear eyes, and slandered, "Isn't it just being praised by the eldest lady? As for this woman being so happy, she still compares it with life-long events. It won't be her turn if you marry someone as a concubine."

After leaving Taoyuan, Xi Zhuhua was going back to Meiyuan, Xi Wanqing happened to be on the way back to Ziyuexuan, so she followed Xi Zhuhua silently, without saying a word, she just listened to what Xi Zhuhua said, He looked very timid, making many turns and turns, and it took him a quarter of an hour to walk to Xikuayuan.

Not far from Mei Yuan, Xi Zhuhua stopped and said, "Fifth Sister, sister is going back to Mei Yuan now."

"Sister, let's go." Xi Wanqing also stopped, and after Xi Zhuhua turned and left, she brought Mo Yu and Lian Xin back to Ziyuexuan.

Walking on the winding path in front of Ziyuexuan, Xi Wanqing raised her head, with a pair of clear eyes, shrewdness reappeared, wisdom was hidden, and there was not even a trace of timidity, she was a completely different person from before.

At this time, Xikuayuan, Meiyuan, and Xizhuhua's boudoir.

"Cousin Hua, you make my cousin want to die." Xiao Teng broke into Xi Zhuhua's boudoir, like an eagle catching a chick, he couldn't wait to pounce on Xi Zhuhua.

Seeing Xiao Teng barging into her boudoir, Xi Zhuhua frowned, a little displeased, but did not dare to yell loudly, this Xiao Teng is the eldest wife's nephew, the eldest son of the Minister of the Household Department, if he can't handle it well, he will directly Offended the House of Ministers of the Household Department and the Da Furen. Fortunately, the House of Ministers of the Household Department has nothing to do with her, but the Da Furen can control her marriage and offend the Da Furen. If the Da Furen is not happy, let others It was not what she wanted to be promoted to be a concubine.

Xi Zhuhua bit her lower lip angrily, although she hated Xiao Teng, she had no choice but to greet him with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Teng rushing towards him, Xi Zhuhua lightly turned his willow waist, Yingying turned around and hid.

"Cousin Teng, this is Hua'er's boudoir, you can't mess around." Xi Zhuhua dodged Xiao Teng and said softly.
