Chapter 145 Bing San's Doubts

Hongyu subconsciously touched her blood-stained arm, and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss."

Liu Xiaozhen raised her brows, took out a veil from under the pillow and wiped the corners of her eyes, and after a while her eyeballs turned a faint red.She looked in the mirror for a while before she said with satisfaction, "Let's go to the main courtyard."

The two masters and servants went out, walked through corridors, and stepped through several doors before arriving at the main courtyard.Concubine Liu was sitting on the couch arranging her jewelry box, and when her most beloved niece came in, she took her to play with her.In the end, I picked two more exquisitely shaped beaded flowers and gave them to her, and said with a smile, "At your age, wearing these beaded flowers is the best, and it will make your skin fair. At my age, if you wear it, you will wear it. It's a joke."

Liu Xiaozhen's gaze carefully scanned those red gold phoenix hairpins one by one, and when she looked up again, she smiled and hugged Liu Wangfei's arm coquettishly, "Auntie is not old, if Zhen'er goes out with you, people will think they are sisters Woolen cloth."

"Oh, what a mouth you have." The princess hugged her niece, giggling loudly, obviously in a good mood.

The two aunts and nephews had dinner together, and Concubine Liu asked Hongyu to help with some small chores, and then sent the old lady beside her to send her niece back in person.

Hongyu lowered her head, rubbing the corners of her clothes restlessly with her hands.Princess Liu put down the tea bowl and glanced at the faint bloodstains on her arm, and asked lightly, "Tell me, where did your young lady feel wronged?"

Hongyu shrank her neck suddenly, and said timidly, "Go back to your mother, our young lady...is not wronged."

"I haven't been wronged, so why are her eyes red?" The princess didn't know that Hongyu was telling the truth, but instead snapped, "Say, who dares to make my Liu family wronged?"

Hongyu was extremely annoyed, but she still didn't dare to disobey her master's order, and reported in a low voice, "Our young lady gave Shizi a soup of rock sugar and white fungus, and Shizi... threw the bowl and punished Housekeeper Zhao. Our young lady was crying, and she still wanted... to pierce herself with a hairpin, but the maidservant stepped forward to stop her..."

Concubine Liu originally thought that some servant was always bullying her niece because of her qualifications, but she didn't expect that this "servant" was actually her son.For a moment, she regretted that she shouldn't have asked about this matter. After all, the relationship between mother and son was distant. If she protected her niece and questioned her son, she might not be able to become a loving mother and a filial son again in the future.

Thinking of this, she ordered lightly, "Go back, the lady said that I asked you to draw a few flowers when she asked. Besides, I have to serve the lady more attentively in the future, you know?"

"Yes, empress." Hongyu was extremely disappointed, bowed her head and retreated.Although she was dawdling along the way, she soon returned to the Furong Hall where the master and servant lived temporarily.Liu Xiaozhen was waiting impatiently, but when she heard that her aunt had no intention of supporting her, she was so angry that she raised the tea bowl at hand and smashed it to pieces, "She keeps saying she loves me, but actually her son is the one who loves her the most!"

She roared like a wounded beast, and suddenly picked up the melon jar on the high stool and wanted to drop it again, but remembering that if these utensils were broken, she would find an excuse to perfunctory the woman in charge, so she casually pulled the red jar Yu pinched desperately again.

The two masters and servants beat one another and cried for mercy, making the scene extremely unbearable.Bingsan, who was crouching under the eaves, shuddered at the sight, and secretly made up his mind that he would marry an ugly woman as his wife.It's not that he doesn't like beautiful women, it's that the more beautiful a woman is, the more ruthless she is, just like this Miss Liu, who would have thought that the gentle and gentle lady of the family would be more vicious behind her back than the most vicious old woman...

Holding a fine brush in his hand, Murong Huaide bent over to trace something carefully, and after listening to Bingsan's vivid recounting of "the war between Miss Liu's family and the maid", he lightly twitched the corner of his mouth and dismissed the matter went aside.

Finally, he took the letter on the table and handed it over, and said, "Leave the matter here to Bingsi, and you go to the military city to deliver the letter to your wife. If she asks about my recent situation, you can say..."

"What did you say?" Bingsan received the letter, but didn't hear the master's continuation for a while, so he couldn't help answering.

Murong Huaide coughed dryly twice, and said in a low voice, "Let's say Miss Cousin personally made rock sugar tremella soup, I like it very much."

Like to drink?Didn't even smash the bowl?Bingsan looked at his master suspiciously, obviously he didn't understand why the master asked him to lie to his wife.

Murong Huaide blushed slightly in embarrassment, and scolded, "Look at what I'm doing, do as you're told."

"Yes, young master." Bingsan hurriedly responded, full of doubts, flew out of the window and disappeared into the night.Murong Huaide regretted it in every possible way, why didn't he bring A over that day, although that kid acted a little erratically, he was more sensitive than the rest of the team.If he accepts this job, he only needs to say a few words, how can he embarrass himself so much?
Not to mention how Murong Huaide feels that there is no suitable manpower around him, but only that Dong Rong finally got the fabric these few days, and the shopkeeper Luo in Mo County is also a smooth person, and under the pretext of having too much fabric, he actually held six carts of fabric in person rushed over.

Dong Rong saw hundreds of pieces of high-quality fabrics, so she had an idea and planned to visit the old lady of the Meng family. She pretended to thank the Meng family for lending them a house. She personally prepared two boxes of jam cakes and two pairs of them. Soft slippers made of fine cattail grass as a thank you gift.

Mrs. Meng's natal family is in the land of fish and rice in the south of the capital. Although she has lived with Mr. Meng in the military city for many years, how can she not miss her hometown in her heart?Originally, she heard that Dong Rong was an ordinary peasant woman, and she was too lazy to entertain her, but after all, it was not easy to save Mr. Yang's face, so she asked Dong Rong to sit down for a while after the nap.

After she didn't want to meet, Dong Rong acted politely, spoke very funny, and the gift she gave was even more in line with her wishes.In the end, the small sitting turned into a long talk, and the long talk turned into a long meal, and finally let Dong Rong go back to the other courtyard after dark.

Needless to say, when Dong Rong asked her to recommend shopkeeper Luo to General Wu's residence to deliver fabrics, she also agreed.After all, she has also heard about the Wu family's search for good fabrics. This kind of door-to-door delivery solves the Wu family's problems and sells Dong Rong a favor. It can be said to have the best of both worlds, so why not do it.

Two days later, the steward of the Wu family arrived at the other courtyard of the Meng family. The young steward's expression was very proud at the beginning, but after a bulging purse was stuffed in his hand, he changed his smile and talked carefully about his wife Ms. preferences.Manager Zhang and Shopkeeper Luo expressed their thanks, and then they went to Wu Mansion with a cart of carefully selected fabrics.

When they came back, the cloth on the carriage was reduced by half.It is said that shopkeeper Luo only charged "cost price" in order to open the store, and Ms. Wu "buy" a few more horses for a moment of joy. Shopkeeper Luo also gave a set of "not worth much money" but very delicate jewelry as a topping , the mother and daughter of the Wu family were extremely satisfied.

Of course, this satisfaction also affected General Wu who went home for a short stay that night.On the second day, Mr. Meng invited him to enjoy the flowers and drink again, and he didn't shirk like before.

At the banquet, when everyone was slightly drunk, Mr. Yang took the initiative to apologize for his disciples, and kept blaming himself for being a teacher. He usually only pays attention to teaching his disciples homework, but he did not teach them to distinguish right from wrong.General Wu naturally also regretted that he was so drunk that day, why he bet against teenagers, it really shouldn't be.

The two sides came and went like this, all with intentions to make peace, and the guests and hosts dispersed after enjoying themselves.On the second day, Mr. Yang and Mr. Meng personally went to the barracks to pick up a group of scholars to go home.Regardless of whether he was convinced or not, Dong Pingping and the others bowed down and apologized to the generals. As for the heroic young master Xue, let alone talking, he almost hid his head in his crotch, for fear that Mr. left alone to suffer.

Dong Rong waited in person at the gate of the other courtyard, and the scholars who had escaped for a day got out of the carriage. She didn't urge them to wash and change, and directly led them back to her courtyard.

A large pot of braised pork and snow-white steamed buns are piled up on the long table, gleaming with oily luster under the sunlight, and the air is slowly filled with a rich aroma of meat...

The scholars stared blankly for a long time, and at the end Qiqi rushed forward with strange yells. Exhaled, and then went back to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Dong Pingxu didn't want to make his sister sad, so he ate a few mouthfuls with his classmates and walked to her side, whispering, "Sister, I'm back."

Dong Rong patted his younger brother on the shoulder and smiled, "It's good to come back. It is said that the winter here in Juncheng is extremely cold. If you are left for the winter, my sister is really worried."

The siblings went back to the house while they were talking, and Zi Zhu quickly brought a pot of hot tea, and said with a smile, "It will be good for the second young master to come back. Madam misses you suffering in the military camp when she is at home. The prepared food, pills and various medicines There are five carriages full of things, and now the second young master has been successfully picked up, but it is going to be transported back as it is."

"You girl, I've never seen you talk so much." Dong Rong was afraid that her younger brother would feel more guilty, so she hurriedly pushed Zizhu, "If you don't go out to take care of the dinner table, if you don't have enough steamed buns, you can serve some snacks."

"Yes, ma'am." Zizhu poured tea for the two masters, and then retreated.

Dong Ping hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Sister, I have lived in the military camp these days. Although I have worked hard, I have learned a lot. All of them are worthy of praise. Just like those soldiers, they eat poorly every day, train hard, and if a war breaks out, they have to fight with their lives to protect the people of the country, which is really worthy of admiration."

"You don't hate them for treating them harshly, but being able to think like this is enough to show that you are much more open-minded than before. My sister is really happy for you." Dong Rong was very pleased. She was worried about what her younger brother would leave because of this incident last night. Psychological shadow, I don't want him to grow a lot.
