Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 55 A visitor from the Hou Mansion, the beginning of a conspiracy (5)
And in the dark where she couldn't see, the luxurious man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes quietly stared at her demure and gentle expression in front of the window with his eyes closed.

At this moment, there is silence and no sound.

At dawn, after Qiu Mingyue washed up, she went to greet the old lady as usual.When they arrived at the Shou'an Courtyard, Chen Xiang, the maid beside the old lady, came over and said with a smile: "Fifth Miss, you are here, the old lady was still talking about you just now."

Qiu Mingyue smiled, "Last night I was greedy to watch the stars, so I went to bed late. Fortunately, I told Xia Tong and the others to collect the morning dew, otherwise I would have committed a crime today."

After talking, the two came to the hall, and Qiu Mingyue was surprised when they heard the voice of a stranger talking inside.

"Is there a guest in grandma's room?"

Chen Xiang suppressed her smile, "It's the elder sister of Da Furen's natal family, Madam Xue Guohou."

Madam Xue Guohou?It came so fast.Qiu Mingyue paused for a moment, then followed Chen Xiang into the room, and the conversation inside suddenly fell silent.She didn't look sideways, and greeted the old lady.

"Mingyue pays respects to grandma."

With a loving face, the old lady waved her hand to signal her to get up.

As soon as Qiu Mingyue got up, she heard a woman's voice.

"This is Miss Wu, she looks really pretty."

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyes, and saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting on the lower right of the old lady. She was wearing a multicolored silk blouse, and her lower body was a skirt with ancient patterns, double butterflies and clouds shaped like thousands of waters. It was those slanted eyes, she looked like a difficult woman to deal with.

The old matriarch then introduced to her, "This is your aunt."

Qiu Mingyue bent her knees with a slight smile, "Mingyue has met my aunt."

Mrs. Xue Guohou's eyes flickered slightly, "The fifth girl is very polite, and she didn't forget to prepare tea for the old lady at such a late hour."

The old lady frowned, with displeasure in her eyes.Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, mocking her for disrespecting the old matriarch, and even being late for the daily morning and evening appointments.

She lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, and said humbly: "In spring, people are prone to sleepiness, so it is advisable to drink strong, fragrant, refreshing scented tea. It can not only refresh your mind, clear your drowsiness, but also help to dissipate the cold evil in your body and promote the body's positive energy. The growth of anger. Grandma always felt sleepy and lazy a few days ago, and the moon was not bright, so she came up with this idea." She said here, and her color was reddish.

"I made my aunt laugh."

Mrs. Xue Guohou's eyes flashed, this girl is smarter than she imagined.

The old matriarch also nodded in satisfaction, and said to Qiu Mingyue: "What kind of tea did you make for me today? Your sweet-scented osmanthus tea has spoiled my mouth."

Qiu Mingyue stepped forward, "It's chrysanthemum tea."

"Chrysanthemum tea?" The old lady became interested.

"Yes." Qiu Mingyue took the hot teapot from Xia Tong's hand, sprinkled the dried chrysanthemum petals into the teacup, and brewed it with hot water.The fragrance of tea curled up, and the mist was thick, rising slowly on her tender white fingertips, as if the fragrance of flowers dispersed with the mist, which made people feel more comfortable.

"Chrysanthemum tea can inhibit a variety of germs, enhance the elasticity of microvessels, slow down heart rate, lower blood pressure and cholesterol." She made a cup of tea and brought it to the old lady with a smile.

"Grandma, try it first. If you like it, your granddaughter will make it for you every day in the future."

The old matriarch took a sip, suddenly felt a faint fragrance of flowers lingering around the nose, the taste was slightly bitter, but it would not make people sick, but the meaning was still unfinished.

"Well, good." The old lady nodded, her eyes full of kindness.

At this time Mrs. Xue Guohou laughed again, "Chrysanthemum tea? I haven't heard that chrysanthemum can be made into tea."

The old matriarch glanced at her, "Mrs. Xue will not let go of it."

Mrs. Xue Guohou had this intention, she wanted to see how capable a little concubine could be to coax the old matriarch to love her so much, even her two nieces and nieces could not match her. .

Chen Xiang made tea for Xue Guohou and the Da Furen respectively, the Da Furen looked disgusted and did not want to drink at all.On the other hand, Mrs. Xue Guohou took a sip and her eyes twinkled.She put down the teacup, with a deeper smile on her face.

"It's really good tea." She glanced at Qiu Mingyue, who was sitting quietly beside her, and saw that she was in a smoky phoenix-tailed dress full of butterflies and flowers, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, pink and tender cheeks, and only a simple and elegant jade hairpin on her head. At the age of 13, he can already see his allure.She just sat there quietly, with an elegant and noble temperament on her body.

noble?Madam Xue Guohou was shocked.How could she think of using the word noble to a lowly concubine?
This girl is not simple, just that face can block the future of the two nieces.

She took a deep look at Qiu Mingyue, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said to the old matriarch: "The fifth girl is only young, and she has grown into a graceful figure. I don't know how many young talents will fall in love with her in the future." She paused, and then Question: "I don't know if you can discuss marriage?"

The old matriarch looked a little worried, but still said: "Mingyue is only 13 years old, don't worry."

However, the eldest lady understood the implication of Mrs. Xue Guohou's words, and there was a gloomy look in Qiu Mingyue's eyes.

Mrs. Xue Guohou smiled again: "It's just right, my brother Jie has also reached the age of marriage, if..."

"Madam Xue." The old matriarch interrupted Madam Xue Guohou's words lightly, "Madam is here, and the humble house is full of splendor. I don't know why Madam is here?" Xue Yujie, a concubine whose aunt died, is lustful and timid, He obeyed Mrs. Xue Guohou's words.Mrs. Xue Guohou is also a capable person. If Mingyue marries, can she live a good life?

The smile on Xue Guohou's face froze, and displeasure flashed in his eyes.The eldest lady took the old lady's words.

"Sister, where is Brother Hua, isn't he also here today?"

Mrs. Xue Guohou looked at this direct sister with a bit of resentment, she was really stupid and impulsive, no wonder she couldn't win Qiu Zhongqing's heart for so many years.The eldest lady doesn't care so much, Mingyu is already 14 years old, it's time to discuss marriage.Qiu's family is a noble family, and her daughter's future husband's family will definitely be no worse.The eldest daughter Mingxia has married Uncle Zhongshan, and the husband and wife are harmonious and loving.Minglan is still young, Mingyu can't wait any longer.

There are more famous ladies and famous families in the capital, but the eldest lady has a high vision, and she always thinks that her daughter is a phoenix, and she must marry the prince and grandson.

It happened that the elder sister's eldest son hadn't discussed marriage yet, so she made up the idea of ​​Xue Yuhua, the eldest son of Xue Guohou.As for Qiu Mingyue and Shen's, she has no time to take care of them for the time being. Sooner or later, she will take care of these two sluts.

Although Mrs. Xue Guohou hated the eldest lady for not being up to date, she still calmed down and said: "I thought that Sister Yu might be in the Taijun's house, but it was inconvenient for Brother Hua to come here, so I asked the servant to take him to the back garden. "She paused, and then said: "Sister Yu, I haven't seen her for a long time, but I miss her very much."
