Mu Huagui

Chapter 11
The next day, Zhihua personally came to inform that at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the Prince's Mansion of Sidong County earlier this year, the old lady would bring the eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady Chen Qiluo, the fourth lady Chen Qishan, the fifth lady Chen Qihong and the cousin Chen Jiaoer. go to dinner.

It was only then that Chen Jiao'er suddenly realized that Chen Qihong's move was very clever. She took her to Dongjun Palace to compensate the old lady, and the lady didn't dare to stop her because of Qiluo's matter.It's just that the fourth wife is at a disadvantage, her daughter is still young, and she is not a relative who often walks around in her house, so she will make people talk about it when she takes her to sit with guests.

As for asking Cherry to inquire, it didn't take much effort.Lin Da's family is related to a long-term attendant of the old man of the Chen family, and the family escaped back. With the introduction of this long-term follower, Lin Da worked with the old man.

Later, I don't know what kind of good luck happened, the elder suddenly expelled Lin Da's family and gave them a lot of money to go out to live.

The son of the Lin family even entered a school in Beijing with the help of the elder. It is said that his knowledge is very good, and the Lin family even flattered the Chen family for this.If you have nothing to do, come and say hello to the old lady, the eldest lady and the elder.

"It's a matter of luck, I'm afraid it's..." I did things according to the master's order, and rewarded for merit, Chen Jiao'er clenched her fists tightly, her teeth ached with hatred.

What grudge does the Elder Master have with his father? She is only a child, and even if she is sent to the Chen Mansion, she will not be able to see the money. Why must she be killed.

What is there that I don't know, no matter what the reason is, you all deserve to die, Chen Jiao'er swore in her heart that even if she goes to Abi Hell after death, she must find out the truth and avenge herself.

"Miss will wear this red coral bead flower with earrings that the old lady rewarded, okay?" In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Cherry couldn't help but take out a pink jacket with a light gold skirt that was shirtless once, embroidered along the edge of the jacket. A circle of orchids is very elegant.

Seeing that the lady had no objection, Cherry began to dress up for the lady wholeheartedly.The two wives and four young ladies dressed up and gathered early in the old lady's Jinhua Residence, and had breakfast together.

After looking at the four people one by one, the old lady's eyes stopped and Chen Jiao'er didn't speak for a while, then she turned her face, and the second lady at the side said, "Oh, why is this girl Jiao'er so pure, even though the little girl doesn't need it?" Dressing up too much, but what kind of family is the palace, it's better to be festive." After speaking, he pulled out a lace chrysanthemum hairpin from his head and inserted it on Chen Jiao'er's head involuntarily.

Only then did the old lady show a smile, and led a group of maids and women out of the gate in four sedan chairs.

The old lady's sedan chair was at the front, the eldest lady and Chen Qiluo rode together at the rear, the second lady naturally rode with Chen Qishan, and the last ones were Chen Qihong and Chen Jiao'er.

"Mother, why did you give the newly-made hairpin to sister Jiao'er?" Chen Qishan was a little dissatisfied, and she had some pity for Jiao'er at first, but seeing her face that made people unable to move their eyes away without deliberately dressing up, she felt in her heart Somewhat uncomfortable.

"Silly boy, what is a hairpin?"

The second madam looked around, followed by her and Qishan's people, and then said, "The most important thing for a woman is to win over her husband and secure her position. Money is just used to buy people's hearts. Waiting With prestige and trust in the family, even if you don't want it, Yin Liang will come to you by himself."

Although this Chen Jiao'er spoiled the second lady's affairs last time, but unlike the eldest lady, the second lady still did a very good job on the surface.

Seeing her daughter's half-understood eyes, the second wife thought of the effort she had put into marrying into Chen's house to keep her husband close by her side, and couldn't help but think of her daughter's future.

"Also" thinking of her daughter's jealousy towards Chen Jiao'er's appearance, she said again, "The marriage of the two families is a marriage that is well-matched. You should be glad that it is not your third sister who has grown up with such a face. As for the others, they are even Hu Meizi So what about reincarnation, isn't it..."

It's not a man's plaything, of course she won't say that in front of her daughter.

He also reminded his face, "...you must not act frivolously, and you must not deliberately show off in front of the princess and the prince..."

Chen Qishan nodded her head one by one, and she should fill in all of them.

Chen Qihong and Chen Jiao'er looked at each other in silence, pretended to be polite, and then leaned aside to doze off.

After entering the palace, they changed into green woolen soft sedan chairs, and their mother-in-law carried them into the second gate. They wanted to see the outside, but they were afraid of showing timidity in front of others, so everyone sat quietly in the sedan chair with their heads down.It's cheap, and the maids and women who followed quietly looked at the various scenes in the palace.

The Chrysanthemum Banquet was held at noon, but who dared not to give face to Princess Dongjun, who really delayed coming until noon, and all of them came early in the morning to pay their respects.The palace is used to hosting large and small banquets, and has already cleared out the flower hall in the princess's courtyard for guests. After greeting the princess, all the visitors were led to the flower hall and sat down.

It should be said that the maids and mothers-in-law of this palace are also smart, and they arrange them one by one according to the relationship between the wives and their relatives.Never let two wives who are not in the same table sit at the same table, let alone let wives who are related to each other sit separately.Based on this point, everyone here secretly praised him.

When the last batch of guests arrived, the princess and the concubine came to the flower hall together, and then Chen Jiao'er secretly looked at it. The concubine was wearing a gold silk brocade dress, as graceful and luxurious as ever.But the look of worry between her brows did not escape Chen Jiao'er's eyes.

Because he has been on duty in the Shiziyuan for the last few years and is in charge of the small kitchen, he often has the opportunity to see the princess.She had a cheerful look and bright eyes at that time, and there is the energetic appearance now.

Probably because of the son, who else in this mansion can make her worry so much except the son.Thinking of her son, Chen Jiao'er was in a daze for a while.I don't know how he is doing well now, and whether her death has caused such slight ripples in his heart.

"Miss, miss..." Cherry scratched Chen Jiao'er's back lightly from behind, everyone stood up when the princess invited everyone to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the garden, but Miss was lost in her thoughts and remained motionless.

"Oh, I see." Chen Jiao'er came to her senses, and immediately lowered her head to follow the crowd. Fortunately, there were so many people, no one paid too much attention to her, a little girl.Only the eldest lady turned her head and gave her a hard look.

The princess is a true lover of chrysanthemums, and she built a greenhouse directly in her yard with glass, which made people amazed.

Mrs. Lu's wife touched the glass with her hand and said, "This is a rare thing. It is a good thing made by the ancestor Qianwu Emperor's cabinet. Unfortunately, the cost is too high. In the Zhou Dynasty, we used glass to build greenhouses. Yes, only the concubine can have this kind of generosity."

"That's right, our master replaced the study room with glass a few days ago, which caused our family to eat porridge mixed with pickles for half a month." The person who said this was the wife of Mr. Yuan, the minister of Taichang Temple. He loves to tell jokes.
