Chapter 229 Missed
What Qiuhong said made Xiao Xilin a little surprised: "Bribing the painter, only changed the portraits of the three daughters... This Xia family is not as consistent as expected. Madam favors the eldest daughter of the Xia family. If you don't like Mrs. Xia, then Find a reason to drive the second daughter of the Xia family back home. Make it more subtle, I don't want a mad dog from the Xia family to come to the house and disturb Madam."

Qiu Hong responded, without much surprise on her face.

The third girl from the Xia family was dismissed, I'm afraid it was the handwriting of the second girl Xia.This elder sister is scheming, in order to be able to stay alone, even her own sister has been tricked.

Maybe Miss Xia knew about it, but Xia Mansion was about to produce a second prince's concubine, Master Xia would definitely suppress the matter, and she could only swallow this breath.

After all, the second girl Xia is promising, even if the third girl is not selected, she will have a good future when she gets married again, so naturally she won't just see this bit of resentment.

But what if the second girl Xia was also brushed off?Then Miss Xia couldn't swallow this breath, so she had to vent it all on this elder sister.

Seeing that her daughter had no hope, Lord Xia was naturally very disappointed, and would not pay attention to the trivial matter between the two sisters.

The more the two sisters quarreled, the roof was about to be lifted, so the Xia family didn't have the heart to pay attention to the eldest daughter who stayed in Xiao's mansion.

It will be much easier for her to get married.

When the Xia family came to their senses, it was a done deal, what else could they say?
After Qiu Hong stepped back, she thought about it and gave Xiao Er an idea.

Xiao Er listened to her muttering, nodded secretly, but made up his mind to stay away from this girl, it was a mess, how could Qiu Lu come upright?
If Qiu Hong heard his slander, she would definitely scold Xiao Er severely in front of Qiu Lu.

Master Xia's face was flushed for a few days, and every colleague who saw him couldn't help but ask what good things happened recently.

Hearing this, he just smiled and said nothing.Being asked anxiously by a close colleague, he only mentioned the matter of his daughter's upcoming marriage.

It was tacitly understood by everyone that the second prince's selection of a concubine was the most recent event. Lord Xia looked confident, and his second daughter stayed in the primary election. It looked like he had found a backer and was sure of everything.

Some people wait and see, and some people have already started to curry favor with him.Whether it's true or not, there's nothing to lose by getting closer to each other first.

Mrs. Xia returned to the mansion with a radiant face, but saw his wife's face was full of sorrow, and told him in a low voice: "Master, the second girl was sent back by the people in the palace."

After hearing this, his face changed suddenly, and he asked anxiously: "What's the matter, you have passed the primary election well, and you came back suddenly?"

Mrs. Xia also felt that it was a pity that her second daughter's appearance was the most symbolic.Especially the exquisite figure is simply a rare stunner.She is very partial to this daughter, thinking that she may be promising in the future.Sure enough, she passed the primary election smoothly, but it was a pity that the third daughter was lost.

However, I have never heard of a pair of sisters serving the same husband, and the royal family also has this taboo.It's just that the second girl and the third girl are beautiful people with sweet mouths, which made her happy, and it was difficult for Mrs. Xia to choose for a while.

Fortunately, in the end, the third girl was impatient and couldn't bear to bribe the painter, but was discovered by Mrs. Zhen Guohou. She couldn't continue to participate in the primary election. She was crying and felt distressed when she saw herself.

In the end, he came up with an idea to take the money-loser at home to make a big show in front of the gate of Zhen Guohou's mansion. If the person died, the matter would become a big mess. In order to cover it up, Mrs. Zhen Guohou had to compromise.

She got people out and left, but she began to regret it.Since one of the two sisters always wants to stay, the third girl obviously has insufficient means, so she was discovered early. After entering the palace, there will not be so many people around who can make suggestions, so she has to rely on herself, so she doesn't know how to be cautious , Entering the palace will also suffer a great loss, and even involve the family members.

Thinking that even if the loser dies, Mrs. Zhen Guohou can let the past go, just slow things down, and the third girl will not be judged by others when she gets married in the future, and she can marry a good family.

Who knew that the money-losing goods were not dead, and were rescued by the servants of the Xiao Mansion.Master Xia happily ran to Xiao's mansion, left him there, and happily said: "Mrs. Xiao seems to be soft-hearted. As long as the big girl is obedient, which mistress would not like it? She will become Mrs. Xiao's in the future." The person next to the pillow must help the second girl. The second prince also needs to be pampered, so naturally he loves the house as well as Wu, and it's no different for the Xia family."

Mrs. Xia was not happy. In the end, her daughter had to rely on that money-losing goods to live well?

She was blocked in her heart, and said with a worried face: "Master, the big girl is like a lump of elm, she has never been enlightened. What kind of person is Mrs. Xiao, would she fall in love with her? Don't be self-defeating. Instead of flattering the Xiao family, you will offend her." Master Taifu."

"What unlucky things to say, the eldest girl looks like her mother, and her appearance is not inferior to the second girl's, but she lacks a little bit of wit. She is not a mistress, but a concubine. If you want to be so smart, being obedient and obedient is enough." Xia Xia The adult stroked his beard, and seemed very satisfied with the eldest daughter, as if he had already pictured a bright future in his mind.

It's just that the husband and wife hoped that the second daughter would have a bright future, but after a few days, she was sent back. Mrs. Xia was dumbfounded on the spot. Now that Master Xia came back, she found a backbone and cried: " I don’t know who killed thousands of knives, secretly sprinkled sesame powder in the food!”

Mrs. Xia gasped, her second daughter got red rashes all over her body after eating sesame seeds, it was very scary.This is the Xia family's secret, except for the family members, not even the maids who are close to them will know, who leaked it out, or is it a coincidence?

After all, sesame is not a rare thing, and it is normal to put a little in food.

But he never believed in coincidences, he didn't let it go sooner or later, and he just put sesame seeds before the second election, which was clearly aimed at his second daughter!
Mrs. Xia cried pear blossoms with rain: "The fourth girl is still young, she is ignorant, and she doesn't know about the second girl. After the third girl returned to the house, she locked herself in the yard all day to wash her face with tears, and she didn't even see the maid. After several times, how could I tell this matter? Only the eldest girl is in the Xiao Mansion, the master said, could it be that she accidentally let it out? "

Mrs. Xia is also a little uncertain, but she is unwilling to admit it: "The eldest girl is about to become Taifu Xiao's person, why should I be jealous of the second girl and make such a bad move? And she is in the Xiao's mansion, how can she get it right? Go to the palace?"

"People's hearts are so close to each other, who knows?" Mrs. Xia touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "I know that when I drove her biological mother out, the big girl felt resentful. It's just that after so many years, I treated her like Like my own daughter, there is no shortage of food and use, and she really makes me feel cold."

The reason why people were kicked out of the mansion in the first place was because the servant girl had an affair with a foreigner. In a fit of rage, Mrs. Xia wanted to kill the couple. At least Mrs. Xia persuaded her to come down. With human life on the line, he ruined his future for a concubine.

Mrs. Xia was kind-hearted, so she just let her go, threatening that the concubine would not be able to return to Beijing in this life, and she would not be able to see Miss Xia.

Master Xia was emotional, patted the back of her hand and said: "Madam is kind, I thought the big girl had figured it out, but I didn't expect that she still misunderstood you all these years."

He didn't like the eldest daughter because of this reason.Miss Xia looks too similar to her biological mother, looking at that face, Master Xia has to think of the concubine who made him humiliated.

"Wolf-hearted, really like her biological mother. But could it be the intention of Grand Tutor Xiao or the emperor to be able to reach into the palace?"

The palace is guarded like an iron bucket, it's just a girl's careful thinking, there is no reason why she succeeded so smoothly.

"Maybe the eldest girl bought the servant girl who served next to the second girl, and she was ready to strike early. It's only because I wasn't vigilant enough that I ended up killing the second girl." Mrs. Xia looked sad again, bowed her head and began to cry.

Master Xia was distraught by her crying, originally he was full of expectations for his second daughter, but in the end it was all in vain?

"It's too late to say anything now, the third girl has been kicked back, and now the second girl has no hope, so the eldest girl is left with a future? You, just pretend that you haven't said what you just said, and I haven't heard it, you Hurry up and get along with the eldest girl in the Xiao Mansion, otherwise her mother will be more expensive than her son in the future, but she won't necessarily put Xia's family in her eyes any more."

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Master, when the second girl came back, she cried like a tearful person. If it was really the big girl who did it... Could it be that she is just pampering her and letting her be at ease?"

"There is no evidence, so maybe the eldest girl is innocent." Even if it was really done by the eldest daughter, it is now a done deal, and the daughters under Mrs. Xia's knees have failed the general election one after another, making the family honorable.Now the only thing I can look forward to is the eldest daughter in the Xiao Mansion.

Mr. Xia is not young anymore, he has been in this position for 12 years.It just so happened that Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites was seriously ill and was about to retire and return home. Isn't it his chance?
He couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or he would go crazy if he waited another 12 years.

I can't wait for a few more years, the fourth daughter grows up, and then goes to the general election, how many opportunities will be missed?

Master Xia said angrily: "You treat the big girl well on weekdays, come to see her and coax her, won't she just obey you?"

Mrs. Xia's face turned red and then pale. Mrs. Xia never cared about the affairs of the backyard, she did whatever she said.Master Xia believed him when he said that he was very kind to this concubine who was not his own.

Now it's like shooting yourself in the foot with a stone. If the loser really obeys her words like her own mother, it's really a hell!

She showed a wry smile: "I treat the eldest girl well, but she has a knot in her heart and misunderstands me, how can she listen to her?"
