Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 25 What kind of medicine is sold
Qi Tianxiang pursed her lips and said, "Tianxiang thinks that the reason why the emperor rewarded these items is because he wants Tianxiang to make the best use of them. Instead of letting Tianxiang lock it in a jewelry box and throw it away, it is better to give it to suitable people to wear. If the emperor knows, I will also agree with Tianxiang's move to make the best use of everything!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately showed contempt.Cut, want to curry favor with the old matriarch, and still say so high-sounding!
Especially Qi Tianjiao stared at the dazzling pair of bracelets, wishing to snatch them away and keep them for herself.At that time, because she was too ashamed and Tian Xiang stole the limelight, she was always sullen and jealous in her heart.It's true that I didn't take a closer look at the imperial gifts, but now that I take a closer look, I really regret it!If I had known it earlier, she would have taken it away and used it for myself!

"Oh, there are other things here!" Tianxiang squinted her eyes and smiled, and ordered her personal servant girl to make divided silk silks and satins and distribute them to the aunts respectively, saying, "This is a material made of ice silk. The clothes made in summer are warm in winter and cool in summer, and the fragrant clothes are enough to wear, so I give it to all the aunts. This is a small gift, I hope the aunts will not dislike it."

All the aunts were shocked, Tianxiang was willing to give them the silk made of ice silk that was bestowed by the emperor!Fortunately, the third concubine Zhuo's reaction was quicker, she took the satin and said: "My concubine, maidservant, thank you, young lady!"

Qi Tianxiang raised her brows, the third aunt called herself a concubine, isn't that too presumptuous?
Because there were too many people just now, Qi Tianxiang didn't pay attention to Zhuo Shi carefully.This Zhuo family is usually like a medicine jar, she is sick in bed all day long, today the old lady rarely shows up when she returns home.Looking carefully, this Zhuo's face is really like a peach blossom, and his body is as light as a swallow, coupled with his sickly appearance, with his charming posture, he really has the capital to charm Qi Zhongqing.

It's just that Tianxiang can't figure it out. What is the meaning of her belittling her status so much?

The old lady did not think as carefully as Tianxiang, but was more satisfied with Zhuo's humility.She likes smart, self-aware concubines.Because his son has always loved Zhuo Shi, the old lady doesn't like Zhuo Shi, and she is even vigilant.It's just that Zhuo's family has been quiet when entering the door, sticking to their duties, not at all anxious and domineering because of Qi Zhongqing's favor.The old lady felt a little relieved towards her.

"You don't have to be polite, this child Tianxiang is sensible and has something to honor you, so just accept it!" With the old lady's consent to speak, the other two also agreed to accept it.

Fourth Aunt Ji's pretentiousness was pretentious, relying on the fact that she was from the old matriarch's natal family, she always spoke with pride.Glancing at the simple elegance on Tianxiang's body, she immediately said unequivocally, "Young lady gave us such a precious satin, but she herself is dressed so plainly, how embarrassing it is for us to see!"

The old lady looked at the four granddaughters carefully when she heard the words, and she was surprised at first glance.As the eldest daughter, Tianxiang is dressed so elegantly, and only has two jade hairpins on her head.Let's look at Qi Tianjiao, a concubine daughter, but she is flamboyant and extravagant, several times more magnificent than the concubine daughter Tianxiang.The other two concubine granddaughters are also well-dressed, but they are born of concubines, so they are not so outstanding.

All in all, Qi Tianjiao's mother and daughter are the most noble, and those who don't know think their mother is the main wife and daughter of Duke Qi's mansion!My heart felt cold, Tianxiang, as a prostitute daughter, could it be that she was being deducted in terms of food and clothing?Thinking about it this way, the old lady couldn't sit still: "Tianxiang, what's wrong with you..."

But Qi Tianxiang suddenly said something, interrupting the old lady's words: "Grandmother, it's because Tianxiang is not good, you'll laugh at her by dressing like this. Don't worry, Second Aunt is very considerate of Tianxiang in every aspect. I really didn't find a suitable one today. Jewelry, seeing that grandma has returned home, Tianxiang has no time to change clothes, so she wears this dress."

Liuying immediately interjected: "Yes, Madam, the eldest girl originally planned to wear the pair of goldfishes you gave me, but for some reason, she only found one, and the other one didn't know where it went, so... "

The old matriarch's face softened when he heard the words, and asked lovingly: "Oh, but Tianxiang's ninth birthday, the pair of goldfishes that grandmother gave?"

Qi Tianxiang's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she choked up and said, "Grandmother, Tianxiang is unfilial and lost the gift you gave me!" After speaking, he knelt down and said, "Grandmother, please punish Tianxiang!"

Everyone showed astonishment, which play is this Qi Tianxiang singing today?
"Oh, good boy, get up!" The old lady signaled, and the maid beside her helped Qi Tianxiang up, and the old lady said: "You child, it's not your fault that you lost it, how can grandma be willing to punish you!"

The old lady comforted Hao Tianxiang, thinking that this girl was usually quiet and well-behaved, but she lost Jin Buyao for no reason, it must be because the people in the yard were not clean. "What's going on? How do the maids and wives of Yuyanzhai do things? Why did the eldest girl lose one of her jewelry for no reason?"

Nanny Gui and the others were waiting for this sentence, and they all knelt down immediately upon hearing this.

Nanny Gui said: "Old Madam, please calm down! Everyone in Yu Yanzhai will fulfill their duties, dare not slack off, and will never get dirty. The slaves and servants are all married by the wife, and even Qiqiao was carefully selected by the second aunt a few days ago. Come to serve the eldest girl, she is smart, down-to-earth and willing to work, and she will definitely not be the kind of dirty hands and feet to do such low-level things!"

When Nanny Gui spoke, everyone could naturally hear the meaning behind it.

Aunt Lian couldn't help it immediately, and cursed: "You are so slavish, how dare you spit blood on someone, alluding to me for doing such a thing!"

Everyone immediately despised her when they heard the words, she was a concubine, at most half a master, to insult her late wife as a dowry mother, she was simply exaggerating her self-worth and shameless.

Gui Momo looked terrified, pretending to be panicked and said: "Second Aunt Mingjian, I just praised that girl Qiqiao for being smart and hard-working, why did you misunderstand her?"

Aunt Lian was punished by Qi Zhongqing last night, and Qi Tianjiao was humiliated at the palace banquet, and she was punished severely by Qi Zhongqing when she returned home, she was unwilling to do so.In addition, when the old lady returned home today, there was this drama waiting for her, and she immediately lost her original rationality.

Qiqiao was really smart when she said it, and she was deeply loved by Aunt Lian, so Aunt Lian ignored the presence of the old matriarch, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "You have no other intentions, I will believe it? You clearly suspect that the maid I sent, Qiqiao, has unclean hands and feet! Could it be that I, as the mistress of the house, sent a caring maid over there, and you Yuyanzhai insist on being a villain, so you can't tolerate it?"

Qi Tianjiao also gave Nanny Gui a hard look, and said with a cold snort, "Qiqiao stole your goldfish buyao, so is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, don't spit blood on people!"

The old matriarch's face darkened immediately, and the rest of the people immediately realized that the good show was about to begin, and watched the play with relish.

"Shut up!" the old lady yelled.

Qi Tianxiang trembled all over, and said with fear on her face: "Grandmother, you... don't be angry, I didn't say that the goldfish Buyao was stolen, but that one couldn't be found. I... don't be angry, Pay attention to your body!"

The old lady saw Qi Tianxiang's submissive, cautious and terrified appearance, thought she was frightened, and immediately comforted her with gentle words: "Tianxiang, don't be afraid, grandma didn't blame you, nor did she yell at you."

"Old Madam—" At this moment, Liu Nian rushed in out of breath, knelt down with a puff, raised the rice paper in his hand and said, "I found that goldfish Buyao! The shopkeeper of the pawn said, A few days ago, there was a servant girl in the mansion who went to pawn a goldfish walker. He also wondered at that time, why a servant girl had such precious jewelry, but he forgot about it because he was busy at the time. Old Majesty, the servant girl has the details of the pawn in her hand, you You have to decide for our big girl!"

Tianxiang was happy from the bottom of her heart, but there was a hint of disbelief and surprise on her face.

The old matriarch didn't understand anything, and immediately said in a cold voice, "Come here, take down all the servants of Yuyanzhai!"

As soon as this remark came out, it meant that the old lady wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Not long after, Yu Yanzhai went up and down, no matter the maid, mother-in-law or servant, they were all taken outside the courtyard of Yinghe Tower.

The old matriarch brought everyone to the yard, and seeing the servants in front of him, his heart was filled with emotion.These people are basically old people in the mansion, and they are dowry servants brought by the daughter-in-law from the general's mansion.She has never made a mistake in so many years, even if she really did something wrong now, she is not easy to forgive.

What's more, there is no conclusive evidence to show which one of them stole the goldfish buyao.For a while, the old lady was in a dilemma.

Tianxiang said at this time: "Now that I have found out that my goldfish step has been stolen, which one of you is the best to stand up and admit your mistake, and I will take it lightly for the sake of master and servant. If If you are still obsessed with obsession, you will find out later, according to the government regulations, you will be killed, you should think about it!"

Qiqiao was kneeling in the back corner at this moment, and she wondered what happened when the people from the old lady's yard brought them all just now.Hearing the words at this moment, my heart trembled immediately. She never imagined that she was lucky enough to think that the eldest lady was not counted, and she was bullied, so she stole the pawn as a pawn, and now she was discovered so quickly!
But Qiqiao has been serving Aunt Lian for so many years, and Aunt Lian trained her, so she is naturally calmer.Anyway, the eldest lady has no evidence, and when she was sneaking around, no one saw her.When the time comes, she will deny it categorically, and the second aunt will help her, so the eldest lady will not dare to send her off.

Thinking of this, Qiqiao immediately felt relieved, and glanced at Qi Tianxiang confidently.Qi Tianxiang just happened to meet Qiqiao's calm eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Don't admit it, right? Forget it, I'll convince you later!" After speaking, Qi Tianxiang summoned Ting Rong, the old lady's personal servant girl, and whispered some instructions.Listening to Rong nodded, she walked out immediately.

Everyone looked surprised, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Tianxiang Gourd.

Then Tianxiang coughed and said: "Soon the shopkeeper of Baosweden will come over to meet people with a goldfish walker. If you stand up now, I will still punish you lightly. Otherwise, you know the rules of the Duke's Mansion!"

As soon as the words fell, Qiqiao's face paled immediately!At the beginning, in order to get a good price, she didn't think much, and went directly to Baorui, the largest pawn shop in Kyoto.There are rich people from Kyoto coming and going, especially the shopkeeper there actually saw that she was not the master of Bu Yao, so he gave a low price.

Unwilling, Qiqiao lingered with the shopkeeper for a long time, and in the end there were unexpected problems, so she had to pawn Bu Yao to death at a low price.She took the silver and hid it in her usual small treasury, so that one day she could buy a decent dowry when she got married.

Now that the shopkeeper was coming, Qiqiao immediately became very anxious.She hated that she was so fussy at the time, and she had worn out her mouth with that shopkeeper, and that shopkeeper must still remember her vividly.What if he recognizes himself when the time comes?
Aunt Lian paid attention to Qiqiao, and found her guilt and fear.In the bottom of my heart, I hated that iron could not be made into steel. She was obviously such a smart girl, so she was sent to Tianxiang's side to be her eyes and ears.Unexpectedly, this idiot was only a third-class rough girl for so long, and now she dares to do such a stupid thing!

Aunt Lian felt contemptuous from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time regretted wasting her painstaking teaching!Hmph, seeing the guilty look on her face, this chess piece is about to become a discarded piece!Forget it, such a stupid pawn should be discarded!Thinking of this, Aunt Lian looked away and stopped looking at Qiqiao.
