Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 208
Ming concubine did not look sideways, as if she didn't see the anger on Chu Mochen's face, now the overall situation is the most important thing, and it is agreed with the outside world, if there is any unhappiness, let's go back to Chen Xiangxuan to settle it.

The lethal eyes were a bit strong, and the Ming concubine wished to raise his hand and turn his head to the old lady. She thought so in her heart, and she did the same. Everyone in the room was stunned. Angry, she still protected her and said, "You can draw a scoop from a gourd and write a picture of a hundred longevity for the maid to embroider."

The old lady frowned, and said, "Nonsense! Who is the queen mother? She still needs a picture of a hundred years of life. All she wants is a heart. No matter how good the maid's embroidery is, how can she compare to the embroiderer in the palace?"

As long as the Empress Dowager wants to do so, with a single sentence, even if there is even a hint of meaning, more than a dozen pictures of a hundred longevity will be sent to the Empress Dowager for her to choose.

Chu Mochen said lightly, "This kind of heart, Shi Zifei's rough hands and clumsy hands, really can't give it."

You're just rough, and she, a girl who doesn't touch the sun, is actually described as rough by him. One sentence is not enough, and one more word is clumsy. Even if it is to help her, there is no need to describe her like that , the maids laughed so hard that their shoulders were dislocated.

After Chu Mochen said so, the old lady didn't force it, she just said, "Since you really can't embroider, then forget it, and you prepare another birthday gift and present it at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Concubine Ming finally understood that she and Chu Mochen had to leave the preparation of the birthday gift to her and Chu Mochen no matter what, but it was better than asking her to embroider a picture of a hundred birthdays, and the third wife also said, "Chen'er has inconvenient legs and feet. Princess Concubine, please take care of me."

This is a roll call for her to figure out a way, not to let Chu Mochen waste his brain power.

Chu Mochen nodded and said, "Since I entrust this important task to you, you can continue. Later, I will ask my concubine to give you 1 taels of silver. As long as the Queen Mother likes it, even if you spend a tael of silver, the rest will belong to you." you."

The concubine Ming agreed happily, but the old lady over there was unhappy, her face was drawn very long, and the third wife said, "Chen'er is too young to know how hard it is to earn money. Your third uncle's salary is not even 5000 taels all year round. Just by opening your mouth, the imperial concubine earned more than 9000 taels..."

Before the third wife could finish speaking, Chu Mochen interrupted her with a smile, "The third aunt wants to take over the job of preparing the birthday gift for the queen mother?"

The eldest wife said, "It's better for me to come from the eldest room. Last year, the third room helped to come up with the idea."

1 taels, how can you drop 5000 taels? It’s cheap and not stupid.

Then, the long house and the third house fought to snatch it. Ming concubine took a look at Chu Mochen, and she had never seen anyone with a darker belly than him, so there was no need to refuse, they just came to snatch it.

After you came and I exchanged a few words, the old lady said, "Okay, don't argue, this year the third room is ready, and next year the long room is ready."

The eldest wife was angry, but she didn't say anything anymore. Although the old lady married the old man to fill in the house in the name of taking care of the old man, the third master was the old lady's own. A few mountains away.

Ming concubine asked Chu Mochen in a low voice, "Mother concubine really prepared a birthday gift for 1 taels?" Is your family really so stupid and rich?

Chu Mochen rubbed his nose and said, "How is it possible? When the second brother was alive, he asked his father, queen, mother and concubine for money. If he asked for 1 taels, he would give at most [-]."

The voices of the two said it was not too loud, nor was it too small. They heard what they should hear. The third wife's face turned green. The maximum is 5000 taels, so it must be gone. Come, what is she for?
But if there is a bargain, grab it, and if there is no bargain, push it away, you will lose the face of being an elder, and you can only knock out your teeth and swallow your blood.

What's more, there is still the eldest wife who hasn't been snatched, and said with a smile, "Three to four thousand taels are enough. The birthday gift is not about the price, but about the heart."

The third wife almost gnawed her silver teeth, and drank tea to calm down.

It's all right, Ming concubine was about to leave, at this time the eldest wife said, "Yesterday, the concubine Shizi returned home, and the maid came back and said that something happened in the Beihou mansion, and the second girl moved from the second room to the long room?"

After hearing this, the third wife said, "Why is my sister-in-law interested in the affairs of the Dingbei Hou Mansion?"

This is to ridicule her and gossip to avenge her just now. The eldest wife laughed and said, "Look at what the third sibling said, Dingbeihou's mansion is the mother of the concubine, our Zhennan prince's mansion is married to Dingbeihou's mansion, Dingbeihou What's the matter with the mansion, our Zhennan Prince's Mansion should pay attention to one or two. Yesterday the concubine Sun Guifei summoned the wife of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the old lady to enter the palace. At that time, the second wife was still injured and was helped into the palace by the maid The second room of the Dingbei Hou Mansion moved overnight."

At this moment, the third wife also became curious and looked at Concubine Ming.

Ming concubine was speechless, she had to believe that they cared about the Dingbeihou's mansion, and gossiped under the guise of caring, and she was sorry for their kindness if she didn't say anything, and this matter couldn't be hidden, Ming concubine said frankly, " It was all caused by fortune-telling. More than ten years ago, Erfang asked a Taoist priest to tell her fortune. He said that a pair of dragon and phoenix twins is needed to suppress the evil spirit of Erfang. If he doesn’t offend the old lady, he took my mother’s daughter, my second sister, to the second bedroom. When this matter came out, the old lady punished the second uncle and the second aunt dozens of times, and asked the second room to move out of Dingbeihou's residence."

The eldest wife and the third wife were all startled.

The third wife said loudly, "Princess Heng is the daughter of the second room?"

She guessed it right, but Ming concubine couldn't admit it, who made the old lady foolishly admit the crime of deceiving the emperor, Ming concubine said, "My mother gave birth to a pair of twins."

The eldest lady moved her buttocks, and then said, "Miss Wei Er and Princess Heng don't look alike."

Ming concubine said, "Not all twins look exactly the same, and because of their different looks, no one has discovered this secret for a long time."

The third wife hurriedly asked, with the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line, "How did you find out later?"

Ming concubine shrugged and said, "It's not my own daughter, so naturally it won't hurt to hold her in her hand, and my mother is very kind to the second sister, so she noticed it after a long time."

"That's true, after all, it's not my own..."

Before the third wife finished speaking, a servant girl walked in from outside, Fushen said, "Third wife, the third girl has gone on a hunger strike, and the third girl said she was not wrong, as long as you punish her, she will go on a hunger strike for as long as possible."

The third wife frowned fiercely, her displeasure at being disobedient was written all over her face.

The eldest lady laughed and said, "I also think Ke'er is right about this, she also loves Wei'er."

The third wife clenched her palms tightly, raised her head and said, "It's not that I'm cruel. Liu'er will only grow fatter when she's sick. She already has low self-esteem. If I come to withdraw from the marriage, the blow to her can be imagined. If she can't figure out what happened, wouldn't Wei'er and I have lost our lives?"

Liu'er is the boudoir name of Miss Yang Biao.

What the third wife said was not unreasonable, and the eldest wife sighed, "It's hard for you and Wei'er, after all, the Yang family doesn't love Wei'er, but if the Yang family thinks more about you and Wei'er, this marriage will be retired early .”
