Mu Huagui

Chapter 15 Quiet Death

In the Dongjun Palace, the princess rubbed her wrist lightly, and complained to the prince, "For your precious son, I almost broke my wrist."

"Haha, what Ma'am said is interesting. You are not competing with others in archery, and you can even hurt your wrist." Dong Jun Wang, with a refined appearance of a literati, stretched out his well-maintained hands and helped the princess rub her up. "It's not about those ladies. They can't let people go home empty-handed after they come here. They are not slaves. They don't look good when they take a purse as a reward, so they wear a string of bracelets and take one off when they see people. Isn't it tiring?" Arrived."

"When that brat gets married, I'll teach him a lesson for you. However, those young ladies, are there any suitable ones? They will be seventeen this year. If you don't start a family for him, I think he might want to You followed in the footsteps of that boy Zhou Minghua." The prince chattered dissatisfiedly.

"Huh..." the princess withdrew her hand, and snorted coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son is comparable to others. What is Zhou Minghua? He came from a family. Do you think I don't know anything?"

The prince knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly changed the topic to the lady whom he had seen these days, and the princess smiled, and counted everyone's appearance, conduct, knowledge and talent one by one.

"I think Mrs. Chen Er is smart. A family like ours is not a small family. We need talents and skills to decorate our appearance. Even if we learn it, who will we show it to? Is there anyone in this world who needs us to play and sing?" It won’t work to please you.”

The prince chuckled in his heart, of course he knew that Mrs. Chen Er was He Wanniang from the Lotus Poetry Club back then, and thought that this kind of person must be arrogant and ignorant of common affairs, but unexpectedly, he was mistaken. "What kind of daughter-in-law does the madam want." Seeing that the princess was rarely happy these days, the prince followed her words without showing any trace.

"You should behave decently, look elegant and beautiful, be smart and considerate, and be able to manage this big family in an orderly manner. Of course, the most important thing is to give us a big fat grandson."

"Is there any suitable one?" The prince didn't show it on his face, but he didn't want his son to get married and start a business as soon as possible, so that he could accept his thoughts of worshiping Buddha and burning incense.

"This..." Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, and said, "These young ladies are mostly pretentious, and few of them catch the eye, but..."

"But what?" It was rare for a princess to speak like this, the prince asked a little strangely.

"Zhu Meng, who is next to my concubine, secretly inquired about an orphan girl from the Chen family." Both of them knew that Zhu Meng was the older sister of Zhu Sheng in Zhou Mingyuan's yard, and in all likelihood, his son sent someone to inquire about it.

"What's so special about this orphan girl." The son was not very enthusiastic about engagement matters, and it was the first time that he took the initiative to inquire about a girl.

"He looks top-notch, and he is also very generous and dignified, but his family background..." The family background is too bad. Both parents died and they are still being fostered in the Chen family, which is by no means a good match.

"Oh, is that..." Wang Ye seemed to remember something, and asked with a frown.

"The concubine of Chen's parents' house is the one who wants to climb high. Hmph, she thinks she can hold us back and force us to submit, and I don't want to see if I have the weight." Thinking of this, the princess felt a little disgusted.

"Okay, the matter has calmed down, so don't worry about it." Not to mention when he was the prince, even now there are many women who take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms. Knowing the knot in his wife's heart, he made a haha Said, "Speaking of which, there are fewer people in the yamen at night, and now I'm a little hungry."

Hearing this, the concubine hurriedly got up to make a fuss, and the couple chatted and laughed, forgetting the slight unhappiness just now.

Chen Jiao'er sorted out the books left by her father one by one. She knew that the enemy was most likely to be the elder, but what would she do? A deep sense of powerlessness wrapped around her tightly, making her almost breathless.Even Cherry could see this kind of helplessness, and she often looked at her with probing eyes for a few days.Chen Jiao'er had no choice but to cover up her anxious heart by flipping through the books.

"Miss, it's not good. The eldest lady quarreled with the second lady in Jinhuaju. I heard that the table was overturned." Cherry said it was bad, but she held the food box and pursed her lips in joy.

"Looking at your gleeful appearance, be careful to let people see you, so you know why." Chen Jiao'er hurriedly stepped forward to help fetch the food box, and let the cherry enter the house to snuggle up by the charcoal stove and cook by the fire.

"Is the servant such a stupid person? Naturally, he doesn't dare to reveal anything outside." Cherry fetched hot water by herself, and set out the meals one by one.

As for the white tofu without any oil, Cherry smiled and said, "Fortunately, the lady is smart, so she sauced the soybeans in advance, otherwise she would not be able to eat salty food all day long, and her mouth would not be able to distinguish the taste."

It was also the fight between the eldest lady and the second lady in the mansion that gave them the opportunity, just like the first lady really cleaned up the iron buckets in the mansion, and where could they entrust someone to bring these things in.

"I didn't expect Miss to do any kitchen work on weekdays, but this soybean is better than Mama Su's sauce." Cherry sighed with emotion and satisfied.

Since there were only two masters and servants, Chen Jiao'er refused to let Cherry eat her leftover food since she regained her spirits. It was winter, and it was already half-cooled when she brought it back, and it was probably Cherry's turn to lose a trace of heat.Let alone what she said, there are no outsiders anyway, so if there are no rules, there will be no rules.

"You haven't said why yet, the eldest lady and the second lady will quarrel." Chen Jiao'er also picked out some soybean paste, the same taste, but different people.

"I can't find out, it's Mama Du from the kitchen nagging me, saying that I don't have a good life in the new year, and spoil things properly, and the servant girl secretly asked the woman in the kitchen to find out that the eldest lady and the second lady were in the old lady's house." There was a quarrel in the yard." Cherry had a regretful expression on her face, Mama Du in the kitchen was a family child, and her daughter had served the old lady, she was very respectable in the mansion, and she was the only one who dared to mutter behind her back occasionally.If you were an ordinary person, who would dare to say these things.

When the eldest lady came back from the Dongjun king's mansion, she actually pushed back the banquet at the Xianjun king's house. Qihong kept saying that she was sick and bedridden, and now she was arguing with the second lady in front of the old lady.These... are strung together bit by bit, Chen Jiao'er lowered her head in thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Let's go see Miss Fifth in the afternoon."

Regardless of Cherry's astonishment, Chen Jiao'er began to prepare presents for her visit. Mama Su entrusted someone to send two boxes of pastries to the house. Considering her current net worth, it was hard to find reason for her.

After nap time, Cherry accompanied Chen Jiaoer to Aunt Yu's courtyard with two boxes of pastries. The maids in the courtyard all looked surprised when they saw Chen Jiaoer. No one thought of Miss Jiaoer who never left the courtyard. He actually came to see Miss Fifth who had no friendship.

After being notified by the maid, Chen Qihong hastily ordered someone to invite him in, and saw a young man standing in the room.

Chen Jiao'er stepped forward to greet her, Chen Zian looked gloomy, nodded to her absent-mindedly, and left.

"Jiao'er didn't bother Fifth Younger Sister and Fourth Young Master." Chen Jiao'er shrank her head timidly, with a look of panic.

"It's okay, he just came to chat with me, it's nothing important at all, why sister Jiao'er has time to come to me today." Half leaning on the bed, Chen Qihong socialized casually.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Jiao'er bowed her head and said, "Jiao'er should have come earlier, it's my sister's fault, if I hadn't left first, someone would have taken care of the garden that day, and you wouldn't have fallen into the pool." Glancing at the maid at the end of the bed, Chen Jiao'er found that Qihong's close-fitting maid, Lu Ping, had been replaced by this maid who looked unfamiliar.

Chen Qihong's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and said in an inaudible voice, "It's Qihong herself who was careless and didn't do my sister's business."

"My sister was not there that day, you don't know the excitement behind..." Chen Jiao'er pretended not to see Qi Hong's impatience, and vividly described what happened in the princess's yard that day, and deliberately emphasized that the princess put a jade bracelet on her hands. Chen Qishan's matter.

Only then did he admire the wealth and honor of the palace, and left.

"Bah, a bumpkin, how dare you show off to me?" Chen Qihong waited for Chen Jiao'er to go out, and immediately straightened up and sat up, swearing a few words.

"Miss, why are you so angry when you know that the words are sowing discord." The maid who had been standing at the end of the bed persuaded in a low voice.

"Hmph." I wanted to scold, but thought that Aunt Yu gave it to her, so I reluctantly endured it.

"Miss, why do you seem to be a different person today." Cherry couldn't help asking on the road. The appearance of the lady just now was so different from usual that she couldn't recover for a long time.

"It's just to talk about some gossip with sister Qihong, just to have fun." Naturally, Chen Jiao'er would not tell the truth, it's not that she doesn't believe in Cherry, it's just that this matter is too involved, and she is just guessing, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing what a good thing.

Looking at Chen Qihong's face, she seemed to have a well-thought-out plan. It seemed that there were other reasons behind the fall of the Wangfu, and the quarrel between the eldest lady and the second lady must have something to do with it.If we can find out about the green bottle, we may be able to find out the truth.

However, after this kind of incident, Chen Jiaoer shook her head and secretly sighed twice for the green bottle.

With the possibility of one in ten thousand, Chen Jiao'er asked Cherry to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of the green bottle.Anyway, if a living person is gone, even if it is fake, there must be an explanation, not to mention that the mother and father of the green bottle are still there.

Cherry came back within two days and sighed, "In order to save the fifth lady who fell into the water, the green bottle was seriously ill when she came back. She went there not long after. Aunt Yu gave ten taels of silver to the mother of the green bottle." After speaking, Yuyu hid in the corner and hurried away Embroidery work.

Human life is so despicable, a living person dies when he dies, and the master rewards him with ten taels of silver, and the mother wants to thank her with a slap on her head.Chen Jiaoer's heart was also in a panic, she sat next to Cherry, picked up an unfinished purse and fell silent.
