The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 287

When she woke up early the next morning, Qin Niangzi seemed to be out of spirits, and there were two deep black spots under her eyes.When entering Qingpingyuan to greet her, Mrs. Xu took a special look at her and said curiously, "It's rare to see that you didn't sleep well."

Qin Niangzi quickly rubbed her eyelids, and said with a smile, "Last night, I drank a few more glasses, and my heart beat violently, so I became sleepy, and I didn't fall asleep all night."

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile, and said, "Your father came in last night and said that he wanted to renovate the Liushang Hall. There are still some buildings in Xiao Cui Jin that need to be repaired, so we simply repaired them together. Originally Because Mo's home is not easy to break ground, and no one in the mansion has any news, the construction is scheduled to start in late September. It is estimated that it will be finished in a month. It happens that the weather is not very cold this year, and it will be completed in early October. Everyone can Come live in the garden, and each other will be more lively."

Although Qin Niangzi is the head of the house, since the outside craftsmen are involved in this kind of matter, the young master is mainly in charge of it. What she has to take care of is the trivial matters of relocation of the houses. It is almost as soon as Mrs. Xu opens her mouth. There is a charter.Seeing that everyone had no objection, she smiled and said, "In this case, the mother will naturally move back to the main courtyard. I think Yu Ning and Yu Tai feel aggrieved, and they will make do with it in the guest courtyard outside. Yu An He Yuping lives in the main courtyard with his mother, so that everyone can save trouble, and everything is readily available."

It's only been a month, and of course everyone doesn't mind. Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and glanced at the young lady and the young lady, and saw that the faces of the two young ladies were very natural, as if they didn't feel this move at all. She was a little satisfied with the meaning behind it, and a little funny again.

Looking at Qin Niangzi again, Qin Niangzi smiled at her and rolled her eyes.

Mrs. Xu immediately felt relieved: Qin Niangzi completely understood the meaning behind this arrangement.

When everyone dispersed, she left Qin Niangzi to talk, "When she enters the palace to congratulate her in a few days, the concubine will definitely ask about a few things that happened at home recently. I think your grandmother may also Passed some words to the palace, the concubine's complexion may not be pretty, but we have enough evidence in hand, so we are not afraid of anything. You bring a few things in and show the concubine...the concubine is also a sensible person , She still knows what to do."

Qin Niangzi naturally smiled and agreed, but she was a little confused again, "I thought I would wait until I entered the palace to say hello to the concubine before we talked about repairing Xiao Cuijin..."

Repairing Xiao Cuijin is a normal housework activity on the surface. In fact, after Mrs. Tai moved out of Leshan Residence, whether she can return to live in the central building of Xiao Cuijin is a matter of two debates.At this time, the Pingguo Guild proposed to repair Xiao Cuijin, which actually made Qiniang a little confused.

The Great Qin Palace is strictly forbidden, even if it is a concubine, it is impossible to send people in and out of the palace at will to deliver news.This matter is so complicated, if the Concubine Tai does not get her understanding, the Madam Tai will be moved to live elsewhere. The Concubine will embarrass Jinger to the Xu family if she finds out about it. up.

Mrs. Xu said indifferently, "No matter how respected the concubine is, she is still a married daughter. Our Xu family does not have any prominent relatives other than the concubine. We must care about the opinions of relatives in everything. Pingguo How can the public be considered the head of the family?"

Although Ping Guogong acted vigorously and resolutely, this resolute act had never brought too many benefits to Seventh Lady, so this time she was pleasantly surprised, but still had many suspicions.Seeing Mrs. Xu being so calm, she couldn't say much, so she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Would it be more appropriate for the mother to explain this matter to the concubine personally?"

"Although Concubine Toffee and I are on good terms, the relationship between me and your grandmother has been cold for many years, and she is aware of this." Mrs. Xu revealed a sarcastic smile again, "That's a smart man, As long as we can stand up in terms of reasoning, the concubine will not say anything more."

Qin Niangzi had no choice but to bring her biggest doubts to the table, "But the current evidence can only prove that Madam Tai sold the dowry behind her back... other evidences are all inferences, and I'm afraid they won't reach a final conclusion Effect."

"There is no better mother than a daughter." Mrs. Xu snorted, "Toffee Concubine knows what kind of person your grandmother is."

Qin Niangzi had no choice but to swallow her doubts in her stomach, and smiled hesitantly at Mrs. Xu, "In this case, Xiao Qi knows what to do."

When she came out of Qingpingyuan, Qiniangzi sent Xiaohuaxi to Shendutang. "Ask the fourth sister-in-law if she wants to go to the palace to say goodbye tomorrow. If the fourth sister-in-law refuses to go, you can just say what I say, or go and show the concubine and talk about Liu Lang. Maybe the concubine will be happy , and reward Liu Lang with a few things, so that Liu Lang can enjoy the blessing of the old man."

Xiaohuaxi blinked Danfeng's eyes, wrote down everything, and then repeated it to Seventh Lady, "Young Madam, see if it's okay for slaves to spread the word like this."

Even when Shang Yuan first came to his side, he was not as cautious as Xiao Huaxi.However, she had just arrived at Seventh Lady's side to serve her closely, so her prudence made her like her even more.She patted Xiao Huaxi's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Okay, you can tell Fourth Young Madam like this."

When she arrived at Mingde Hall, Xiao Huaxi came in with the fourth young lady's answer, "The fourth young lady said that she didn't want to go, but after listening to your words, she really wants to go in and say hello to aunt."

Seventh Lady smiled knowingly, and sent her down, "Go and play." Turning around, she asked Li Xia to come in, "You go to Dingguohou's Mansion to deliver a letter, and say that Sisao has promised Minger and me to enter the palace to say hello."

When Li Xia left the room, Qin Niangzi put her chin in her hands and went out of her mind. After a while, she smiled self-consciously, opened the safe again, took out several important evidences, and solemnly put them in the safe. in the box.

In the early morning of September [-]th, Seventh Lady dressed up, and together with Fourth Young Madam, went to Leshan Residence to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai—it was a rare thing that Mrs. Tai did not turn them away, but opened the door for the two granddaughter-in-laws Into the flower hall.

Just one or two months of being in the cold has already given Leshan Juli a different atmosphere.

When Qin Niangzi entered Leshan Residence for the first time to meet Mrs. Tai, Leshan Residence was lively and noble, filled with the stability, authority and wealth of a big family center. This atmosphere not only radiated from the furnishings of the home, but also It can infect every visitor from the dress and expression of the servants, and from the conversation of the masters.But at this moment, Leshanju is deserted and deserted. Although the decoration has not changed at all, although Mrs. Tai's dress is still so solemn and magnificent, even the kind smile on her face has not faded, but behind all this, Leshanju is decadent and lonely.It seems that even the building itself feels the unavoidable lowness of the owner, like a Buddha statue that has not been repaired for many years, under the golden paint, the rotten wood is clearly exposed.

Regarding the purpose of Qin Niangzi and Fourth Young Madam's coming to the palace to pay their respects, Mrs. Tai certainly couldn't have no idea.Therefore, to Qiniangzi's question, "What message does grandma want to bring to auntie?" She just raised the corners of her lips and dismissed Qiniangzi simply.

"Just say I'm fine, and I hope she's fine too."

The old man's answer was very simple, and she didn't even show a trace of flaws in her expression, a trace of hope. After saying this, she waved her hand and said in a wan manner, "I'd better go to Qingpingyuan and ask your mother-in-law if you want anything." Bring it to the concubine."

Qin Niangzi's eyes flashed, but there was a trace of curiosity.

Mrs. Tai's behavior is really a bit unreasonable.

If the old man has passed the word to the palace behind her family's back - of course she also has this ability, the current Mrs. Tai should be proud, she is waiting for Qin Niangzi to enter the palace, and she is like a concubine torrential storm anger.But if the old man had not had time to pass the word to the palace, she would never be so indifferent now, after all, whoever can speak to the concubine first will undoubtedly take the lead.

The old man's current performance can be said to be a little bit detached, and at worst, it is a bit more decadent.

Not only Seventh Lady, but even Fourth Young Madam saw something was wrong.

"It seems that the fifth brother's matter has dealt a great blow to the old man." Coming out of Leshan Juli, the fourth young lady sighed to Seventh Lady in a low voice.
