The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 233 So that's the way it is

Xu Manzhen was wearing a light-colored Yuehua dress, her hair was simply combed in a bun, she wore a peony-shaped white jade hairpin, her eyebrows were slender like a crescent moon, and a pair of big almond eyes made her look even more delicate.When ordinary people see Yun Xi for the first time, they will feel somewhat uneasy.But Xu Manzhen was different, with a smile on her cheeks, and a sense of determination in her leisurely demeanor.

... There was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Sit down, Miss Xu." Yun Xi said calmly, with a smile on her lips.

After Xu Manzhen blessed her body slightly, she sat down in front of Yun Xi.

Yun Xi took a sip of tea, and asked first, "Miss Xu is here today, what's the matter?"

Xu Manzhen didn't seem to have expected her to say this straight to the point, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "The little girl has already said that whoever can complete that poem will dance a water sleeve dance for her."

Yun Xi smiled faintly, and said; "Mr. Nishang never likes to show his face in front of people..."

Seeing the disappointment in Xu Manzhen's eyes, she continued: "But Miss Xu has put down her words, and it's really not good for you to be untrustworthy. I asked her what she meant, and she said that those high-ranking officials and nobles were at the banquet. There are still opportunities to feast their eyes, but ordinary people do not have this opportunity."

"So it's better to give this opportunity to those ordinary people."

A trace of displeasure flashed quickly in Xu Manzhen's eyes. How could she be willing to dance for those poor commoners? Wouldn't that be a waste of her rehearsal energy?

Xu Manzhen bit her lower lip lightly, and said, "But it was agreed to dance alone at the beginning. And since this poem was completed by Mr. Nishang, it should be danced for her."

The smile on Yun Xi's face faded a bit, "Miss Xu never said that she couldn't pass it on to others, did she?"

Xu Manzhen choked, which was her negligence.She didn't know how to reply for a while.

Looking at her performance, Yun Xi was already [-]% certain in her heart that Xu Manzhen probably wasn't some time-traveling girl, otherwise she would have talked about it with her long ago.For the time-traveling girl, taking out Xue Baochai's poems is undoubtedly revealing her identity.Since the other party is not a time-traveling girl, where did she hear this poem from?
Yun Xi didn't remember that she said this poem.Generally speaking, her poems also directly indicate that they are not her works.So everyone in the capital knew that she was smart and good at growing flowers, but no one said she was a talented woman.

Yun Xi asked directly: "Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai, which one do you like better?"

Xu Manzhen asked suspiciously, "Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai? Are these two names? I think Lin Daiyu's name sounds better. It sounds like a lady."

The blankness on her face did not seem to be fake, she really did not know the existence of these two people.

The original [-]% was raised to [-]% certainty at this moment, and the remaining [-]% was just a possibility that Yun Xi habitually left behind.

Yun Xi lowered her eyelids to hide the contemplation in her eyes, "This, it's just that Nishang asked me to ask." Yun Yao, a professional backer, you deserve it.

A hint of doubt appeared on Xu Manzhen's face, "Is this the heroine in her novel? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Yun Xi smiled, "If it hasn't been published yet, of course no one will know about it."

What Xu Manzhen said just now revealed some information.She seemed to think that Lian Nishang shouldn't have written these two books.

After confirming that Xu Manzhen was not a time traveler, Yun Xi's only interest in her was to find out why she knew the poem.

Xu Manzhen didn't seem to want to let go of this opportunity to get acquainted with Yun Xi, and looked at her with shining eyes, "Speaking of which, I really admire you, princess, for being able to do things that other men can't. We women win glory, let those big men see, who says we women are not as good as men!"

She clenched her fists tightly, and there seemed to be a high-spirited fighting spirit on her delicate face.

Yun Xi said: "In fact, many women are no less capable than me, but they are constrained by their own identities and lack the courage to change." If some women have the courage to break free from the ropes that the world binds them, then They will find that what they can do is no worse than men.

Xu Manzhen pursed her lips and said, "I admire your courage, princess, so I have always wanted to learn from you." She chirped as if she had successfully found a topic to get closer to Yun Xi.

The shining eyes, the excited tone... all showed that she really liked Yun Xi.

It's a pity that Yun Xi was not easily deceived by her appearance.Xu Manzhen's acting skills are really good, and she probably practiced at home for a long time, and she perfectly performed a little fan who adores her in front of her.

Yun Xi still felt that sense of disobedience, she acted a little too much, as the saying goes, too much is too much.

She also just had a faint smile on her face, watching Xu Manzhen perform in front of her, occasionally responding with a few words.

After expressing her admiration for her for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Manzhen took out a stack of picture albums, with a shy smile on the corner of her mouth, "I heard that your highness, you also have some accomplishments in the sleeve dance, So I want you to take a look and see if you can give me a lesson or two."

Yun Xi showed just-right doubts, "Huh? Who told you that I can dance with sleeves?" Those who know that she can dance with sleeves also know the girls who saw her dance at the birthday party.Most of them are in Fenghuang County, and they are not the kind of people with big mouths.

The only one who is in the capital is Dai Yanling, but Yanling and Yun Xi have such a good relationship, and they are not talkative people.So Xu Manzhen's news channel is very suspicious.

Xu Manzhen was stunned for a moment, showing a thoughtful expression, and then smiled apologetically, "I don't remember either, probably during the Chinese New Year, when I was visiting with my sisters, I overheard it."

Then give the drawn blueprint to Yun Xi.

Xu Manzhen's painting is fine brushwork, and the level is not bad, at least the dancing posture of the characters is quite vivid.The more Yun Xi looked at it, the more strange it became... Originally, she thought that Xu Manzhen was only guessing the water sleeve dance based on the historical documents she had collected, but the water sleeve dance she brought over was clearly the same as she had danced before.

Yun Xi didn't believe it was a coincidence.No matter how coincidental, it is impossible to be 90.00% the same from beginning to end.She spent a lot of time rehearsing the water sleeve dance before, but she didn't perform it after that.

How did Xu Manzhen find out?
Xu Manzhen still had a sweet and innocent smile, she looked very pleasant, and her tone seemed to be a little inexplicably smug, "Sister Yunxi, what do you think of my sleeve dance?"

She used to call Yun Xi the princess before, but now she has unconsciously changed to the affectionate "Sister Yun Xi".

After Yun Xi finished flipping through the manuscript, she said, "The drawing is really good." She even wondered, could it be that this person was peeping when she was dancing?

Yun Xi emphasized on the word "painting".

Xu Manzhen obviously heard the deep meaning in her tone, only when Yun Xi praised her sincerely, a touch of blush flew on her face, "I also searched for a lot of information, and it took more than a year to get the information based on some Documents, inferred the appearance of the water sleeve dance at that time. It can only be said that the predecessors were really amazing, able to create such a beautiful and artistic dance."

She once again praised the water sleeve dance with non-repetitive words of praise for nearly a quarter of an hour.

During this process, Yun Xi only needs to hum occasionally to spark a new round of remarks from Xu Manzhen.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Xi with some arrogance, "Sister Yun Xi, am I talking too much? I... have always liked you very much, but I didn't meet Sister Yun Xi because of my low status. Opportunity. I saw Sister Yunxi for the first time today, and saw that you are as gentle and beautiful as I imagined, so I became incoherent with excitement."

Yun Xi also said politely, "No, Miss Yang has a heart like a child, she is very cute."

Xu Manzhen hung her neck, as if she was a little embarrassed by her praise.

Yun Xi, however, was too lazy to continue with her the scene where the little fans meet their idols, showing an apologetic expression, "Sorry, I'm a little tired."

Xu Manzhen tapped her head, and said, "It's my fault, Sister Yun Xi is still pregnant, so don't be too sad."

Before leaving, she hesitated to speak and looked at Yun Xi.

Yun Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Manzhen said: "Sister Yun Xi said, is Lian Nishang planning to give the water sleeve dance to someone else?"

Yun Xi nodded, "I think that's what she meant." Could it be that Xu Manzhen has someone she wants to give?

Xu Manzhen's eyes flickered for a moment, her expression was like that of a young girl in love, uneasy, shy, and uneasy.

"Then can you give the quota to Master Wen?"

Yun Xi's smile was a little more teasing, and she let out a meaningful oh.

Xu Manzhen waved her hand, "I, I didn't intend to cling to Lord Wenhou. It's just that in the palace, Lord Wenhou helped me. I've always been very grateful in my heart and wanted to find a chance to thank you. I'm not like Yun Xi My sister is so versatile, I can't think of any other way. The only thing I can do is the water sleeve dance."

Yun Xi always felt that the word "versatile" seemed to be satirizing her. She has nothing to show for her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Although she is indeed practicing guqin recently...

"I can't easily shake Nishang's decision. If you want to thank me, why not write back to Wenyan generously and tell me about it."

Xu Manzhen shook her head like a rattle, "No, if other people find out, it would be bad to make up some gossip. I'm not afraid, but I'm worried that Master Wen's reputation will be damaged."

"Sister Yunxi, you also know that those people can say things without shadows as well as the truth. I'm really worried that they will pour dirty water on me and Lord Wen."

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, isn't this a typical bitch who wants to set up an archway?Xu Manzhen obviously wanted to dance for Wen Yan to watch back, but she still wanted to make a gesture of restraint and compulsion, so she wanted Lian Nishang to come forward and express that she was also compelled to keep her promise.

Anyway, no one knows who Lian Nishang is, so it doesn't matter if he refuses.

Yun Xi said: "I will talk to her, but I don't know what she will decide when the time comes." She paused, and said: "But Lian Nishang will probably write in the next newspaper that she intends to give up the quota. The candidate for the transfer."

Xu Manzhen said: "Well, no matter what Mr. Nishang's decision is, I will definitely keep my promise."

In Xu Manzhen's mind, although she didn't know Lian Nishang's identity, she knew that she had a close relationship with Du Yunxi. If Du Yunxi really came forward, how could she not listen.

After seeing off Xu Manzhen, Yin Dan stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect Miss Xu to be quite talented. Although I haven't seen a real person perform the dance she drew, I think it's really beautiful when I imagine it."

When Yun Xi was doing the sleeve dance, Yin Dan and Hu Yang hadn't arrived at her house yet.

The corners of Yun Xi's lips twitched, and her voice was a bit cold, "I probably danced the water sleeve dance with my little friend on my 14th birthday. It's not much different from this. And my water sleeve dance is not a reference to the so-called water sleeve dance. Historical Documents."

Basically, it was rehearsed according to the dance in the memory of the previous life. There may be some similarities with the water sleeve dance here in Dachu, but it is impossible for Xu Manzhen to rehearse it based on the data.

Yin Dan wondered: "Hey, how did she know the dance you danced, Miss?"

Yin Dan would immediately accept what Yun Xi said, without any doubts.

Yun Xi smiled lightly, "Yeah, I want to know too."

Besides Dai Yanling, Kang Ya'er and the others, there was another person who had seen the water sleeve dance, and that was Yun Shen who came uninvited at that time.

After Yun Shen came back, Yun Xi told her about it, and finally said with a smile, "No wonder you didn't have good things to say about her when you came back, you already knew."

Yun Shen said: "It's just a villain who stole your dance by some means."

Yun Xi said: "Actually, this water sleeve dance is not my original creation." It is the cultural accumulation of another world.

"However, I can also be sure that there is probably no one else in this world who knows this dance except me." Unless there is another time traveler, and not every time traveler knows the water sleeve dance, it is also because she learned it in her previous life.

"It's a fact that you danced before her. But she took your things to be complacent and gain fame."

Yun Xi said: "If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Sooner or later, we will dig out her feet."

……

On the other hand, Yun Xi also had people stare at Xu Manzhen and investigate her past few years.Before Concubine Mei gave birth to twins, the Xu family was just an inconspicuous small family in the capital.After Concubine Mei gave birth to a dragon and phoenix twin, perhaps to show her dignity, Chu Xiyuan didn't mention the official position of the Xu family, but only rewarded 500 taels of gold and a three-entry house.

The Xu family took the money, moved into a new house, and the filial piety sent by others in order to get close to the Xu family, but they are no longer poor as before, and the family recruited a lot of servants.These people, together with the servants that the Xu family originally served, were not like Yun Xi's, they were all selected and inspected, and their quality can be said to be uneven, so as long as they spend some money, they can easily pry their mouths open.

Xu Manzhen's nanny, Mrs. Zhou, used only ten taels of silver to get the words out of her mouth.

According to Zhou, Xu Manzhen was still childish more than a year ago, and after a quarrel with her cousin, she accidentally fell into the pond of her grandfather's house. After being rescued, she developed a high fever and fell into a coma. do not wake up.Originally, the Xu family was also ready to prepare a coffin for her, and then Xu Manzhen woke up.

After waking up, Xu Manzhen became much calmer, and even helped her mother fight over the family's concubines.Originally, Mrs. Xu and her husband had a mediocre relationship, but after listening to some suggestions from her daughter, she resorted to some means to make her husband change his mind again, and it also had a sweet taste of newlyweds.

Xu Manzhen's mother also took Xu Manzhen into the palace to meet Concubine Mei who was only there at that time.Not long after, it was reported that Concubine Mei was pregnant.Concubine Mei seemed to think that Xu Manzhen, the younger sister, was blessed, so she loved her very much.At the full moon ceremony of my twins, I specifically asked for grace to let my sister in and give her a chance to show off her talents.If Xu Manzhen, a younger sister, can marry a good family by virtue of her talent and looks, it will also be a boost to Concubine Mei in the palace.

And Xu Manzhen lived up to Concubine Mei's expectations, became a blockbuster with her water sleeve dance, and was sought after by some literati and poets because of the phrase "you know the flowers are more beautiful when you are pale, and there is no trace of sorrow".However, after Lian Nishang completed the poem and wrote the Haitang Poetry Club, those literati turned their attention to Lian Nishang.

Yun Xi flipped through the information above, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, "Where's Xu Manzhen's cousin? The one who quarreled with her earlier and caused her to fall into the water."

Li Qiu respectfully said: "Nine months ago, that Miss Wang was bumped into having a private meeting with the same poor scholar. She has already engaged in a marriage, and she will be married in two months."

"The scholar's family had an elderly mother and a difficult younger sister. The family of three lived in an old house. They only relied on his mother's laundry to earn some money and the income from the five acres of land to support the scholar's education."

"However, with that scholar's talent and learning ability, it is a fluke to be selected as a scholar."

Before Concubine Mei gave birth to a child, Xu Manzhen's maternal grandfather's Wang family was better than the Xu family.Ms. Wang's father was also a sixth-rank official at any rate. With her family background, she could marry the son of an official at any rate. No matter how bad she was, she should be a talented scholar from a wealthy family.And Miss Wang's fiancé, if there is no accident, his future is probably limited to the fame of a scholar.Miss Wang's marriage to him is really not an ordinary low marriage.Without this accident, how could that poor scholar marry the daughter of a sixth-rank official.

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled softly, "I'm afraid that Xu Manzhen's handwriting is involved in Wang Ludan's marriage."

Li Qiu nodded, "Her nanny Zhou Shi said that Xu Manzhen met Wei Xiucai once before."

Wang Ludan and Xu Manzhen had some quarrels, and Xu Manzhen's revenge could not be described as innocuous, it directly ruined her life, it can be seen that this is also the one who must take revenge.If the "Lian Nishang" played by Yunyao rejects her, I don't know how she will retaliate at that time.

She looked at Xu Manzhen's series of practices in the information... Xu Manzhen seemed to be advocating that her parents would spend some money to open a salon for her to do business, and said with certainty that she would definitely make a lot of money and make connections.It's a pity that she is not very old, and her parents don't believe her at all, thinking that she is wasting money, so why would she want to.

The more Yun Xi looked at it, the more familiar it became.Helping her mother fight concubines, dancing sleeve dances, reciting poems, opening salons, and developing an epic relationship with Lord Hou... This routine looks very familiar, very similar to the time-traveling and rebirth novels Yun Xi read in her previous life.

In particular, the word Salon is derived from the Italian word Salotto, which is a transliteration of the French word Salon.Yun Xi couldn't believe that a girl born and bred in Da Chu could come up with such an imported word on her own initiative.

time travel?Rebirth?
Yun Xihu's enlightenment... She can be sure that Xu Manzhen didn't time travel, then she was reborn.Thinking about it this way, all explanations can be figured out.

If it was a rebirth, she might bring out the Sleeve Dance at any given time, and Xu Manzhen would remember it in her heart after seeing it.After being reborn, he used it directly for himself.The same goes for the poem.

It seems that there should be some kind of salon opened behind her, which made Xu Manzhen very jealous, so she wanted to plagiarize the past, and wanted to open the salon one step ahead of her.

After Yun Xi figured it out, she also felt dumbfounded.Speaking of which, there is no one of high status to preside over the salon, so who will buy it?With Yun Xi's current status and connections, if she opened a salon, she would definitely not be able to lose money.

But Xu Manzhen is different. If she really opens, who guests can she invite?The daughter of a low-ranking official like her?Their monthly money may not be able to consume once.

To be honest, after seeing this, Yun Xi wanted Xu Manzhen to really drive it, and it would be best if she lost money.

She was really disgusted with Xu Manzhen's approach.If Xu Manzhen and her came from the same place and used modern knowledge, then it would be fine.

But rebirth is too unimaginable, and not many people believe it when it is said.If it wasn't for Yun Xi who would have traveled through time, how could he have thought of this.

After Yun Xi figured it out, she continued to let people stare at Xu Manzhen.Xu Manzhen obviously traveled here a few years later, even if she was just a delicate woman raised in a boudoir before time travel, she would know the information at that time to some extent.These are undoubtedly her advantages.

Yun Xi shared her speculation with Yun Shen, and Yun Shen said indifferently: "Rebirth? A loser, even if she is given a hundred chances to be reborn, she is still a loser."

For this, Yun Xi still somewhat agrees.If Xu Manzhen really had her own abilities, she wouldn't try to steal Yun Xi's idea and make it her own.

She directly arranged for some people to sneak into the Xu family - in her eyes, the Xu family was like a leaky sieve, full of loopholes, it was not difficult to bury the nails.

There are even some people who have become rough envoys in Xu Manzhen's courtyard in less than three days, and then they only need to find opportunities to get close to Xu Manzhen and try to make Xu Manzhen trust them.Speaking of which, Yun Xi stuffed at least a dozen people in front and back of Xu's house.

……

Although Yun Xi did a lot of tricks in private, she still stayed at home to take care of her baby and occasionally received a few friends.

During this period, the only ones she could receive were close friends, such as Yan Ling, Lu Yiran and others.Among them, Xu Manzhen undoubtedly stood out a lot, after all, she had no friendship with Yun Xi before.But Yun Xi rejected so many people's posts, but accepted Xu Manzhen's.

Xu Manzhen's ability to climb poles is also quite strong. When outsiders asked about this, they just showed a shy smile and said: "Sister Yunxi is gentle and kind, and she doesn't dislike my recklessness at all. The two of us have a good conversation. I am very glad that my water sleeve dance can be liked by her."

Those who didn't know thought that the relationship between Yun Xi and Xu Manzhen was good.

Yun Xi is typical, even if she is not in the arena, there are still legends about her in the arena.Because of this reason, Xu Manzhen's reputation is even louder, and the water sleeve dance is even more hyped.

Lu Yiran even came to the door directly and asked, "Since when did you and Xu Manzhen get along so well? You don't seem to like someone with her personality?"

Although Xu Manzhen concealed it very well, but Lu Yiran had met countless people, and she couldn't see the calculation in her eyes.

Yun Xi said: "Do you believe it? When I talked to her, except for the beginning, most of them were oh, um, this kind of words."

Lu Yiran couldn't help laughing, his expression was flamboyant, and his eyebrows and eyes were always sharp.On her face, she couldn't see the blow that Su Muzhe gave her earlier, she was still the proud and lawless Princess Yunni.

"But you let her use you to gain fame?" She didn't think her friend was such a harmless person.

Yun Xi blinked and said, "I'm waiting to read the continuation of the big move."

Although Lu Yiran couldn't understand her vocabulary, it didn't prevent her from understanding the meaning. She smiled and said, "If you need help, don't forget to tell me."

Yun Xi nodded, "I'm not being polite."

Lu Yiran's eyes fell on her stomach, thoughtfully, "You child, do you still need a godmother?"

Even if they get married in the future, Lu Yiran has no interest in conceiving and having children, it's too tiring.But if it was a cute child, she would be quite interested in teasing her.Yun Xi and Yun Shen's children must be very cute, their facial features are over there.

Yun Xi said: "Do you want to be his godmother?"

Lu Yiran nodded enthusiastically, "This way, when I get old, I can still let him support me!"

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, how could there be such a virtuous godmother.

The more Lu Yiran thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good idea, and began to grind Yun Xi.

Yun Xi herself has no opinion, but the child is not hers alone, so she can't get past Yun Shen's opinion and said directly: "I have no opinion, as long as Yun Shen agrees."

Not knowing what method Lu Yiran used, Yun Shen really let go.So before the child was born, there was already a godmother like Lu Yiran.

Yun Shen and Yun Xi said: "It's good to have her as a godmother. There are some things that the two of us are not suitable for, but she is not afraid of these things. And she has always protected her weaknesses. Our child has such a godmother, so she is not afraid of it." will suffer."

Because Lu Yiran will definitely get back when he finds out.

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, why did it feel like Yi Ran was tricked by Yun Shen?And it was Lu Yiran who jumped into the pit on his own initiative.

Yun Xi also discussed with Lu Yiran that they only need to wait for the child to be born, and then hold a formal recognition ceremony after the full moon.

……

On the other hand, the people in the capital waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for Lian Nishang to come forward to accept the solo dance of the Water Sleeve Dance.

Even in the March newspaper, Lian Nishang did not make any statement, but quietly serialized the novel of the female general of the Yang family.

Yun Xi had talked about this with Yun Yao before, and the two sisters finally decided to stay the same, so the so-called water sleeve dance reward was put on hold for the time being.

Xu Manzhen didn't wait for the statement that she would hand over the seat to Wen Yan. At the same time, she sent it to Wen's house privately, and the purse to express her gratitude was also returned.Xu Manzhen obviously has Wen Yanhui in her pocket.

She is confident that as long as she and Wen Yan get back together, she will be able to impress her with her talent, beauty and kindness in the process.

The opportunity to get close was interrupted like this.How could she not be annoyed.

Xu Manzhen gritted her teeth, thought about it, and found Yun Xi again.

"Well, what does Mr. Lian mean?" Mr. Lian is Lian Nishang.

Yun Xi said slowly: "I don't know about this, I told her about it too. But you know, talented literati all have weird temperaments, and I can't easily sway them with a word."

She smiled, "But Ms. Xu, don't have to worry. I can trust Mr. Lian's character, and she will definitely not give up the quota to others easily. If you can't guarantee it, just pretend it's nothing."

Xu Manzhen opened her mouth, but what she wanted was for Lian Nishang to give Wen Yan back the spot.

Looking at the leisurely smile on Yun Xi's face, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.I'm afraid Du Yunxi never mentioned this matter at all.If it weren't for Du Yunxi's kindness and support, Lian Nishang would not have become a household name in Dachu.If she really said it, Lian Nishang would definitely obey it. She still has to work in Du Yunxi's hands. How dare she offend her immediate boss?

Fortunately, she has always praised Du Yunxi to the outside world, and even said that she is the person she likes and admires the most, but Du Yunxi is not even willing to help her with such a small favor.

Xu Manzhen has been going smoothly in the past year, and she rarely encountered setbacks, which also caused her temper to grow a little bit.It's just that reason reminded her that it wouldn't be good for her to fall out with Du Yunxi at this time.

She held back her anger, her face still had a smile mixed with innocence mixed with shyness, with a trace of sadness, "I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Lord Wenhou, but it seems that there is no other way."

Yun Xi felt a little sympathetic to Wen Yan when he returned, why was he always being targeted by weird girls.In the final analysis, it was because of his high position, authority and handsome appearance, but the marriage had not yet been finalized, which naturally attracted some people to move around.

She said: "I'll talk to Yun Shen when the time comes, and ask him to mention your gratitude to Lord Wenhou."

In other words, she just said it, and used it to perfunctory Xu Manzhen.

However, Yun Xi's expression on the face was very sincere, Xu Manzhen really couldn't see anything else from her face, so she could only nod to thank her.

After returning home, Xu Manzhen dropped the teacup on the table. After she finished the drop, she remembered that this set of tea set was bought by her in a small shop for 20 taels of silver. two.

Before she was reborn, she had undoubtedly seen Du Yunxi use it.A few months ago, I saw the same one in a small shop and quickly bought it for 20 taels of silver.

Xu Manzhen's monthly salary was only one tael, until her sister took the medicine she gave her, she became pregnant successfully, and gave birth to twins, plus she helped her mother and loved her so much, she gained face in the mansion, plus the family Her situation has improved a lot, and her monthly money has only increased to two taels.

However, these 20 taels are not a small amount for her now. When she bought it back, her mother said that she spent money recklessly and wasted money.Xu Manzhen knew that this tea set could be sold for 2000 taels once it changed hands, but now that she got angry, she missed it, and now it can be said that her heart aches beyond measure.

This is 2000 taels!If I knew she should have sold it sooner.The money can also be used to open a salon for her and expand her network.As long as she is given a few years, she can also rely on her own ability to overwhelm everyone and become a high-ranking and powerful lady, the legend of Da Chu.

Unexpectedly, Xu Manzhen's concubine sister, Xu Manfen, just happened to walk over, and seeing the debris on the ground, she couldn't help but sneer, "Who is so bold to provoke the second sister to get so angry."

"It's still my sister who is rich and powerful. Such a set of 20 taels of cups can be smashed as soon as you want to. Unlike my younger sister, she is reluctant to buy even a hairpin that costs two taels of silver."

Xu Manfen's biological mother was originally very favored in the back house, but with the help of the second sister, the aunt used some means to regain favor, which caused her aunt to be crushed to death, and even caused her status in the mansion to plummet. .Xu Manfen naturally found Xu Manzhen, the first sister, disliked, and couldn't help but find fault.

She said lightly: "It's just that my hand slipped and I accidentally broke it."

Before Xu Manzhen said anything, a servant girl fell to her knees with a thud, "It has nothing to do with the second lady. It was the servant who was clumsy and accidentally dropped the teacup. The second lady is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the servant be punished, but the servant is You can't just watch Second Miss take the blame."

After finishing speaking, he continued to kowtow to the ground.

Xu Manfen originally wanted to take this opportunity to get some eye drops at his father's side, but now he was interrupted, looking at this maid in a bad way, "My sister is too soft-tempered, such a clumsy maid should directly It's just to get out. She made such a mistake, and she can't forgive it easily. "

Xu Manzhen looked at this strange-looking maid, and knew in her heart that the other party was taking the initiative to take the blame for her.She lacks such a loyal maid.

She said: "Your sister is really powerful, and I will take care of it all on my servant girl's head. Next time, I'm afraid I can even make decisions about mother's affairs."

Xu Manfen didn't dare to take this hat, she hated in her heart, but she said with an affectionate smile: "My sister is just joking with you."

Xu Manzhen looked at the maid, trying to recall her name.

The maid said with a wink, "Slave Xiaowen."

Xu Manzhen nodded in satisfaction, "Xiao Wen, although you were unintentional, you made a mistake after all, so I will fine you three months' monthly money."

"Thank you, Miss, for your tolerance."

Xu Manfen saw that they were so affectionate as master and servant over there, felt bored, so she just found an excuse and left.

After she left, Xu Manzhen looked at Xiaowen and asked, "You girl, why did you take the initiative to take care of this?"

Xiaowen lowered her head, her voice was full of gratitude to Xu Manzhen, "I accidentally made a mistake earlier and was severely punished. Fortunately, miss, you interceded for me and saved me from being kicked out of Xu Mansion. My mother My health is not good, and I have to take out my monthly money to buy medicine for her. If I lose this job, I’m afraid my mother’s life will be lost. Miss, you are my benefactor.”

Xu Manzhen really didn't think about it, but it's normal for her not to remember such trivial things.

She looked at Xiao Wen earnestly - her appearance was ordinary, and she would not surpass her as the master.She is also full of gratitude and loyalty.As long as she spends money to heal her mother, Xiaowen is afraid that she will be devoted to her. This is simply a tailor-made maid for her, which is much better than the two maids in the previous life who were easily bribed by others to frame her.

Xu Manzhen smiled and said: "You are a kind person who repays kindness. Since you are in desperate need of money, and I happen to be short of a maid by my side, why don't you come and make up for this shortage temporarily. As for your mother's medicine money, don't worry about it. I'll give it to you later."

"Thank you ma'am."

Xiaowen couldn't help but knelt down, sobbing, his voice was full of gratitude.

Xu Manzhen successfully regained a person, thinking of those loyal servants who would go through fire and water for their master in the storybook, she suddenly felt complacent.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and with Xiaowen as her trusted confidant, maybe she could get in touch with that person more.

One must know that that person made Du Yunxi suffer a lot.

……

Yun Xi flipped through the documents in her hand, and said with emotion: "This Xiaowen is quite talented. It hasn't been long, and he has already gained Xu Manzhen's trust."

Li Qiu had a hint of pride on his face, "Xiao Wen was originally the best of my subordinates."

Yun Xi pinched the paper, her brows and eyes raised faint doubts, "It's just that Xu Manzhen, why did he suddenly come into contact with Zhang Ming?"

Zhang Ming is a little-known small businessman in the capital, no matter how he looked, he didn't find anything special.

Li Qiu said: "I did some research, Zhang Ming opened a shop in the city that specializes in selling Nanling specialties, but because the prices are on the high side and the items are not particularly good, so the business is just normal."

Nanling?

Yun Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and her face became serious, "Let people continue to stare at Zhang Ming."

　If we abuse anyone, we will not abuse the heroine!
