Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 39 Reaching a Consensus
"Go away, rough hands and feet." Qiu Mingyue frowned, "Go and ask Hua Rongyue to come."

The tortoise shell was a little aggrieved, and the eldest lady was also displeased.

"Hua Rong Yue Maang has just been punished by the old lady, and she can't take care of herself, so she still takes care of you?" The lady said this definitely not to express her concern for the two maids. With her temperament, it would be good if she didn't beat and scold the servants. How could she care about a maid who was as humble as mud in her eyes?She just remembered what Qiu Minglan said just now, Qiu Mingyu was indeed a bit arrogant.It's fine at home, but if things go on like this, when she gets married in the future, and when she arrives at her husband's house, they won't have the patience to tolerate her.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of what the old matriarch said just now.Mingyu was indeed fourteen, and it was time to get married.Xue Guohou's mansion... Her eyes lit up leisurely.Looking up, he saw that Qiu Mingyu was not angry, it was only because the tortoise hurt her when he applied the medicine on her.She was about to get angry when she was in pain, and the eldest lady stopped her first.

"Okay, tortoiseshell, you go down first, wait a while and then wipe."

The tortoise shell withdrew its hand, as if it had been pardoned.

"Yes."

"Mother." Qiu Mingyu called out resolutely.

The eldest lady glanced at her lightly, "Your grandmother is right, she should marry you off."

Qiu Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, then blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Mother..."

The eldest lady said indifferently: "You go back, take good care of your wounds, and don't cause me too many troubles. When your aunt comes, I will ask your grandmother to forgive you."

Qiu Mingyu pursed her lips, and finally answered reluctantly.

"Yes."

The eldest lady called two more servant girls, and after sending Qiu Mingyu away, she looked at Qiu Minglan.

"Minglan, why did you ask Nanny Li and the others to find Aunt Li?"

Qiu Minglan smiled lightly and didn't answer, but said: "Mother, are you willing to accept that the third sister has been wronged like this?" Although she sometimes dislikes Qiu Mingyu's impulsive and stupid temper, she is still a compatriot with the same mother.The elder sister was wronged, and she, the younger sister, naturally called out for her.

A cold light flashed in Da Furen's eyes, "Of course not."

Qiu Minglan smiled slightly again, "Mother, don't worry. Fifth Sister may not win all the fires today."

"Oh?" The eldest lady stared at her suspiciously.

Qiu Minglan smiled inscrutablely, "Drunk rouge, not everyone can afford it."

Da Furen's pupils shrank, and suddenly thought of something.

"You mean..."

Qiu Minglan rolled her eyes slightly, and said, "Seventh Sister is not stupid, after today, she might hate Third Sister."

"Hmph, you unfamiliar white-eyed wolf." The eldest lady snorted coldly, "A concubine is a concubine, forever degraded."

Qiu Minglan was noncommittal, lifted the lid of the tea and said calmly: "On the day my aunt comes, someone will search Rouge Zui from her room."

The eldest lady was startled, "You put Rouge drunk in her room?"

Qiu Minglan took a sip of tea, holding the white jade-like teacup with her finger, the fragrance of the tea was faint and dense like mist, she didn't know whether it was that slender white and tender hand that set off the brilliance of the teacup like jade, or the jade-like porcelain cup was transparent that hand.I just feel that they complement each other into a painting.Her face was still calm, but the smile at the corner of her eyes was a little cold.

"Grandmother will only be able to step down if she downplays the charge of theft. If not, Grandmother will lose face if Aunt speaks rashly. Even if the third sister comes out, she will have to pierce a thorn in Grandmother's heart in the future."

The eldest lady nodded, she had to admire the daughter's delicate thoughts.

Colorful and picturesque, lifelike carvings, gilded black wood, and sterling silver trim.This small box is worth hundreds of gold, let alone the contents of the box?
Qiu Mingyue sat in front of the vanity mirror, her slender white fingers slowly stroking the patterns on the surface of the box.With a light flick of a fingertip, the box opened, and there was a sudden burst of fragrance.The fragrance is very light, but it seems to be solidified when it floats in the air, and it doesn't linger for a long time.Look carefully, the contents of the box are almost transparent emulsion.The surface is smooth, and there are flow lines shaking inside, just like the tail of a fish swaying in sea water.The inner wall of the box is also different, it is actually a round oatmeal the size of a teacup painted with a layer of white jade.Because of this, the lotion did not soak the wooden box.

Rouge drunk?
She drew a little lotion with her fingers, and the lotion stained her nails, which seemed soft but did not drip.

Who would have known that it would be difficult for everyone in the capital to get a small bottle of rouge drunk, but in her hands there was a whole box?
Snapped--

After closing the lid, she smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth.

What is a box?She can have as many boxes as she wants.

That's right, she is the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss behind Shuijingfang.

Three months ago, it was when her grandfather was released from prison.At that time, she knew that one day, she would return to Qiufu.Although Shen's mansion is not comparable to the rich and noble homes in Beijing, there are still a few shops in the ancestors.My grandfather is in prison, and my mother is weak and unable to take on great responsibilities.She has taken over all the shops of the Shen family since she came through time travel.Therefore, she started preparations very early on to open a rouge and gouache shop in the capital as a mysterious person, and it became a place where the ladies of the capital frantically pursued.

On the first day when she stepped into the gate of the Qiu Mansion, she could tell at a glance who was hostile to her and who was kind to her.Qiu Mingyu was so simple and stupid that everything she thought was written on her face.Under the same roof, look up and see down.She had already calculated that Qiu Mingyu would find fault with nothing.What was on Huarong's wound was not rouge drunk at all, but the pollen left over from her refined rouge drunk.Once the rouge is contaminated, the fragrance will last for three to seven days unless it is washed with special water.How could she be so stupid that she let herself be caught by Da Furen?
Xia Tong opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing Qiu Mingyue staring at the rouge drunk in the box, he was slightly taken aback, and then approached lightly.

"Miss?"

Qiu Mingyue didn't look back, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to ask?"

Xia Tong hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Miss, why didn't you tell Miss Seven that the rouge drunk in her room was put in by Miss Six?"

Qiu Mingyue stood up calmly, did not answer, but told Hong E: "Take this, I'm going to see Fourth Sister."

Hong Ca came up, "Yes" she held a small white porcelain bottle in her hand, skillfully dripping the transparent liquid on Qiu Mingyue's outstretched fingers.But in an instant, the faint fragrance lingering in the air gradually dissipated, until it was gone, then she took out a small square silk scarf from her bosom, wrapped the box, and put it back into her bosom.

After stepping out of the door, Qiu Mingyue's faint voice came.

"I never use useless people."

Xia Tong was slightly startled, but when he raised his eyes, he only caught the skirt that disappeared at the corner.

Useless people, do you mean them too?
The Qiufu compound is divided into southeast and northwest.The old lady and the old lady live in South Garden, and the big house lives in East Garden.The second bedroom lives in Xiyuan, and the third bedroom lives in Beiyuan.And each courtyard is divided into several small courtyards according to the population of the aunts and young masters of each house.What Qiu Mingyue is going to now is the lotus garden in Xiyuan.That was the yard of Fourth Miss Qiu Mingzhu.
