Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 141 Shameless Gao Shi
Jun Wu drove the carriage and carried Xiao He to the First Prince's Mansion.

The First Prince's Mansion is even simpler than Xiao He thought. From the outside, it is not even as good as the Guangping Marquis' Mansion, let alone the Ankangbo Mansion, which was once repaired by Lin Ruyue with a lot of money.

The stone lion on the left side of the door has an eye that has been blinded for too long, or by some naughty boy. The vermilion wooden door and the white walls on both sides can vaguely see traces of repairs. Xiao He didn't know why, but she felt sore when she saw it.

The majestic eldest prince of Tianwu Kingdom, but his life is not as good as that of ordinary ministers in the court!

The concierge received the news early in the morning, and Xiao He knocked on the door. After asking who it was, the concierge immediately led her in.

The Grand Prince's Mansion is very deserted, there are not many servants and maids, all of them are dressed in ordinary green cloth clothes, and the furnishings in the mansion are also very simple and unadorned, like a family with a bit of wealth, maybe Xiao He didn't see it with her own eyes, it was not at all. I can't believe this is the Grand Prince's Mansion!
The servants took her to the residence of the eldest princess Xia Jinxin. The servant girl heard that it was Xiao He from Ankangbo Mansion. After receiving the gift from her, she immediately went in to inform Xia Jinxin.

Xiao He took the opportunity to look at Xia Jinxin's yard. The yard was clean and tidy. There were a few stone tables and benches in the middle of the yard, and a few wintersweet plants were planted around it. The stone tables and benches in the garden were soon covered with yellow wintersweet flowers.

It was supposed to be a beautiful scene, but because of the coldness and simplicity of the courtyard, Xiao He felt a bit desolate.

"Xiao He, are you here?" Xia Jinxin happily came out to greet her personally, because she came in such a hurry that she didn't even put on her cloak, and when the wind blew, she immediately shrank her neck, "Yesterday, the eldest prince told me that you came to see me today, I thought he was trying to make me happy, but I didn't expect you to really come."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to Xiao He, who immediately held her icy hand, with a cheerful smile on her lips, "Sister Imperial Concubine, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

"I heard that you came. I was overjoyed for a moment. I came out without even putting on the cloak. It's a joke." Xia Jinxin pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Xiao He is so beautifully dressed today, I can barely recognize her." gone."

Xiao He blushed and said: "Miss can't be too rude to be a guest, she helped me choose clothes and put on makeup for me."

"Your miss really loves you." Xia Jinxin said while holding Xiao He's hand and walking into the house.

The maid who was close to the house had already prepared snacks and tea, Xia Jinxin took Xiaohe to sit down, and said softly, "Xiaohe, try this glutinous rice dumpling quickly, it is the cook I brought from my mother's house, who is best at cooking Desserts are even better than those made by the royal chef in the palace!"

Xia Jinxin picked up the chopsticks, and personally put a piece on the plate in front of Xiao He. The plate had a dull luster and looked like ordinary material, worse than the one Xiao He used in Huanxiyuan.

Lu Xinyan's life is fastidious and demanding, from clothes and jewellery, down to table and chopsticks for meals, she must use the best quality, and even the maids and nurses in the courtyard are very delicate in food and clothing.

Xiao He pretended to be trying some snacks, lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, opened her pink lips, and after taking a bite, she looked up with surprise on her face, raised her head and said with sparkling eyes: "Sister Huangfei, it's so delicious ! You eat too!"

She imitated Xia Jinxin and put a piece on the plate in front of her, "Elder sister, imperial concubine, eat with me."

The maid standing next to her was about to stop her, but Xia Jinxin raised her hand lightly to stop the maid from making a sound, and then said softly, "Okay, I'll eat with you."

The two chatted while eating, most of them were Xiao He talking about interesting things in the countryside, Xia Jin listened carefully to her.

After Xiaohe talked excitedly for a while, seeing Xia Jinxin smiling and looking at her without saying a word, she was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Huangfei, am I too noisy?"

Xia Jinxin smiled and said, "I like to hear those interesting stories from you, as if I lived there too."

Xiao He said: "Sister Huangfei can go to the countryside if you have time. The air there is good, the view is wide, and the sky is blue and blue, more beautiful than gems."

"Speaking of gems reminds me of this. We met twice. You called me Sister Huangfei. I haven't given you a meeting gift yet." Xia Jinxin turned her head and ordered the servant girl, "Bring me my jewelry box. .”

"No, no, sister imperial concubine, I can't accept your gift!" Xiao He quickly waved her hands.

"Gift from the elders, you can't resign. Your lady must have taught you that, right?" Xia Jin said in her heart, "Besides, you brought a gift here. Courtesy is reciprocal. I should also return the gift."

Xiao He had no choice but to choose the smallest and cheapest one.

Four servant girls in green clothes brought four mahogany trays and put them in front of Xia Jinxin and Xiao He. After Xia Jinxin waved them down, she uncovered the red silk covering them, "Xiao He, some of these jewelry were brought by me from my mother's house, and some It was given by the Empress Dowager in private, you don’t have to be polite, just see which one you like, I usually go out less, so I keep these jewelry as well.”

The Empress Dowager gave it privately, and it was not recorded in the palace. It was originally for Xia Jinxin to subsidize the family of the First Prince's House.

Pausing for a moment, she whispered a little lonely, "I don't have children, I don't know who these jewelry will belong to in the future, so it's better to give it to someone I like now."

Xia Jinxin is in poor health and is not suitable for having children, so she has not had any children in the five years since her marriage. It is rumored that with her current physical condition, she may not live for three years.

Xiao He felt sore when she heard this, "Sister Imperial Concubine, I know a sister who is very good at medicine. If you want, I will bring her here to treat your illness. I believe you will recover soon. Wearing these jewelry, you can be with everyone The prince traveled together to see the outside world."

"I know my own body well. There is no cure for the problems brought about by the mother's womb." Xia Jinxin smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about these spoilers, let's see, which one do you like?"

She chose a few exquisite and precious ones from the inside, and put them in front of Xiaohe, "The butterfly on this gold step shaker is lifelike, and it can be worn by you later; this orchid hairpin has a unique shape, and was handmade by a famous master before Made, the material is not top-notch, but it is extremely collectible..."

Xia Jinxin recommended several items in a row, but Xiao He remained silent. She looked up at Xiao He, but saw Xiao He's gaze fell on a lotus hairpin carved from white jade.

The lotus hairpin was very ordinary in style, medium in texture, and not exquisitely handcrafted. Xia Jinxin reached out to take it and said with a smile, "Xiaohe, do you like this?"

Xiao He bit her lip, hesitated and nodded.

An inexplicable light flashed in Xia Jinxin's eyes, "This lotus hairpin was carved by the First Prince himself, and it was given to me when the First Prince was choosing a concubine, representing that he chose me as his concubine."

Xiao He was shocked, and blushed anxiously to apologize, "I'm sorry, Sister Huangfei, I didn't know this hairpin was so precious! I'll choose another one!"

"Is it valuable? If you take it out and sell it, this hairpin won't sell for three taels of silver, but if you talk about the thoughts and meanings hidden in it, it is indeed very precious!" Holding one hand, with a solemn expression, "Xiao He, would you like to stay with me in the First Prince's Mansion in the future?"

This question was asked suddenly, Xiao He couldn't react for a while, and said: "I promised Miss, I will stay with her for the rest of my life! But I am willing to visit Sister Huangfei from time to time, and chat with you to relieve boredom."

Xia Jinxin said meaningfully: "Living in the eldest prince's mansion, you can not only accompany me, but also the eldest prince."

Xiao He seemed to understand, but her face was tinged with redness unconsciously, "The eldest prince is accompanied by the concubine and sister, and I will accompany the young lady."

Xia Jinxin asked softly: "If one day I'm gone and the eldest prince doesn't have my company, will you replace me and stay with him?"

-

Lu Xinyan had just returned to the Huanxiyuan when Xingluo came back, "Miss, our people found out that in the middle of last night, Uber took Jinfeng and a few attendants, including big and small bags, and quietly left through the south gate. "

"The guards of the various gates in the capital seem to be nothing more than that." Lu Xinyan chuckled.

Just stuffing some silver taels can make people leave in the middle of the night.

"Maybe someone has called in advance." Xing Luo said.

Lu Xinyan said: "Uberke himself can have such a big business in the capital, and he dares to be tough on me, a young lady from Sanpinbo's mansion, which shows that he must have a lot of dignitaries! The rich and powerful may accept his money in private and take care of his place, but no one dares to do things that are too outrageous, so as not to be suspected of having a deep relationship with bandits!"

Speaking of Uber's coercion, Lu Xinyan couldn't help thinking of Xiao Yichen, Qi Fei's master who helped her out, and seemed to owe that guy another big favor!After he came back from Southwest Ping An, he had to find a way to repay the favor, otherwise he would owe him more, and he might not be able to finish it in this life.

I hope he... comes back safely!
Xing Luo nodded, "Miss is right, it seems that the guards at the south gate are a little lax!"

At this time, Mother Lu said outside: "Miss, Mother Che is here."

Xing Luo opened the door, only to see Mother Che said expressionlessly, "Miss, the old lady is here to invite you."

After Lu Xinyan explained a few words to Nanny Lu and Xingluo, she took Qingtong with her and went away.

In the Ankang courtyard, not only Mrs. Gao, but also Mrs. Xiao Gao were waiting for Lu Xinyan. The two of them were sitting upright, sitting upright, with very serious expressions on their faces.

"I've seen grandma." After Lu Xinyan saluted Gao Shi, she glanced at Xiao Gao Shi, who reluctantly stood up, "Miss."

Lu Xinyan said to her aunt, "You don't have to be polite, Aunt Gao, just sit down."

Xiao Gao gritted her teeth angrily, but there was nothing she could do.

Gao Shi also felt very uncomfortable, but there were more important things at the moment, her complexion sank, her old face drooped, and she said sharply: "I heard that you spent nearly 2000 taels of silver at one time!"

2000 taels, thinking about her Ankangbo mansion, the annual expenses are only 2000 taels in the past two years, and this little hoof was spent without blinking!

Lu Xinyan said calmly: "Grandmother, don't worry, I spend the money my mother left me, and it's useless for a copper coin from Ankangbo Mansion."

It means I use my own money, none of your business?Gao Shi was trembling with anger, "Your mother earned it so hard, and let you pass it down from generation to generation, not for you to squander like this!"

"The money my mother left me, of course I can spend whatever I want, don't bother grandma!" Lu Xinyan said lightly: "If grandma has nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"You..." Mrs. Gao was furious, and Mrs. Gao stepped forward to help her, smoothing things over tactfully, "Miss, my aunt is worried that you will be cheated, and you will have no money to accompany you, and you will be alone for the rest of your life. "

Lu Xinyan said with a half smile but not a smile: "How can I be lonely and helpless? In this Ankangbo mansion, I have a father, brothers and sisters, even if I don't marry anymore, will the descendants of this Ankangbo mansion be married when I get old? Can you kick me out?"

Xiao Gao blocked, "I don't mean that, but it's better to have a little money than to live on others. Auntie thought of this, so she came out to teach you."

Mrs. Gao calmed down, "That's right, you can't ask your nephews, nieces, nieces and grandchildren for money when you get old, right? How shameful! So from now on, you have to take care of the dowry in your hand! Back then you Mother left early and didn't have time to teach you how to take care of the dowry. She must feel regretful in her heart! I heard that when you were in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, your dowry was arranged by Mrs. Gong for you. How about it, from now on , you hand over the dowry to me, I will spend a little time helping you take care of it, and by the way teach you how to manage those shops."

A person who used to brazenly ask Lin Ruyue for money, actually taught Lu Xinyan a lesson, it is shameful to ask others for money when he is old!How ridiculous!

Xiao Gao went on to say: "Miss, the shopkeepers in charge of the store are really smart now, if there is no one who knows how to read the books to stop them, they will definitely deceive others and get the profit from the store into their own hands! If it goes on for a long time, in less than two years, the property that your mother has worked so hard to earn for you will soon change hands."

There was a faint smile on Lu Xinyan's lips, she didn't speak, she just looked at the two of them lightly, her bright eyes were radiant, and she couldn't tell what emotion she was in.

Gao Shi and Xiao Gao Shi were flustered by her and couldn't help putting pressure on them, but they heard Lu Xinyan say calmly: "Grandmother and Aunt Gao are right, in everything, those who are able will live!"

The two were overjoyed when they heard that, "So you are willing to hand over the dowry?"

Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "I am willing to hand it over, but before I hand it over, I have to test the abilities of the two of you, whether you can do it."

"How to test?" Gao Shi and Xiao Gao Shi simultaneously leaned their upper body forward, with fanaticism on their faces, they didn't realize that there was something wrong with Lu Xinyan's tone of picking his subordinates.

"The supply of fur goods in autumn and winter is very scarce this year. Two days ago, I made an appointment with Uber, the largest fur dealer in the north, to discuss the purchase. When it was about to be delivered, another company snatched it at a higher price. Under my name There are more than a dozen leather goods stores, and there are no goods to sell for the New Year's Eve. If the losses are calculated, at least a few hundred taels of silver will be lost! Not only that, the regular customers of the leather goods store under my name are all from the rich and powerful in Beijing My wife, Miss, placed an order early in the morning, and now there is no stock to pay, the compensation is small, and the loss of reputation is big, even if the supply of goods is normal next year, this business will probably be difficult to continue." Lu Xinyan said: "If grandma and If Aunt Gao can help me solve this problem successfully, I am willing to hand over the dowry to the two of you."

Mrs. Gao frowned when she heard that, thinking of the loss of hundreds of taels of silver, she said heartbrokenly: "Look, look, you just say that you are inexperienced and don't understand the reason why rare goods can live. Buy it at a high price first, how can you be so passive now?"

Lu Xinyan said humbly: "Grandma's lesson is that I was the one who made things up and let others take advantage of the loopholes! It will definitely not be like this in the future."

Seeing her such a good attitude, Gao couldn't help feeling complacent, "You are young, so you inevitably lack experience. Follow me from now on, and I will teach you step by step!"

"Thank you, grandma." Lu Xinyan asked for advice, "However, how to solve the problem of the fur shop now?"

Gao Shi said: "Other things are easy to talk about. The key source of goods has been snatched up. How can I help you make something out of nothing?"

Lu Xinyan said: "If this supply is gone, it will be gone. I can afford to lose a few hundred taels. It is mainly those regular customers who are the key to the survival of these fur shops in the future. They need to be appeased."

At the end, he added: "It would be best if we could find a new source of goods! If we can't find them, we will succeed in placating old customers as a result. If no one comes to make trouble by then, or we are willing to transfer the previous list to next year's If the order is successful, then I am willing to hand over the dowry and let the two take care of it."

"This is easy!" Xiao Gao immediately agreed first, as if she was afraid that Lu Xinyan would repent.

Mrs. Gao glanced at Mrs. Gao, saw her shrink her neck, retracted her eyes, and said kindly to Lu Xinyan: "Don't worry, I will find a way to help you solve this matter."

Lu Xinyan was very grateful, "Thank you, grandma."

"By the way, a few relatives from this mansion are coming over recently. Your mother and I... Aunt Gao has to worry about the leather goods store. You have to help me out." Gao pretended to be nonchalant, "You have met those relatives before. Yes, it's your cousins, it's rare for them to come to the mansion to play together, as the eldest lady of the uncle's mansion, you should do your best to be a landlord."

"That's great!" Lu Xin's face was overjoyed, and she showed a delicate smile that seemed to be relieved, "I'm almost bored to death by running around about the leather goods store these days. Now that my grandmother and Aunt Gao share the worries, I will do my best Take a few cousins ​​out to play! If the two younger sisters, Xinwan and Xinhan, are willing to go together, that would be even better."

Xiao Gao hurriedly said: "I'm going to be busy with the leather goods store, and I have to let Xinwan take care of the Zhongfu in this mansion. I'm afraid she doesn't have time. As for Xinhan, I'll ask her opinion."

These relatives are barely able to move around, if you want Xinwan to put down your body to accompany them, you are not qualified enough, if those short-sighted toads want to eat swan meat and entangle Xinwan, then the cart before the horse.

"Then please trouble Aunt Gao."

Several people said the same thing, when Lu Xinyan was about to leave, Madam Che came in, and when she saw Lu Xinyan, she hesitated to speak.

Mrs. Gao had just established a relationship with Lu Xinyan, and was thinking about dealing with the leather goods so that she could bring over all her dowry. She didn't want to push her away and make her feel bad, so she said, "What do you want to say, there are no outsiders here. !"

Mammy Che was surprised, and quickly said: "Old Madam, Madam, Young Master Ziwen from the second master's side is dissatisfied again."

The second master that Nanny Che refers to is Lu Congguang, and Ziwen is Lu Ziwen.

"First, I thought the yard was too small, so I wanted to change it to a bigger one, and then I thought the maids were not serving me well, so I transferred all the smart people in my yard. Yesterday, I thought the wine in our house was not good, so I ordered sake by myself. I lived here, and then I was picky about the food again," Gao asked with a headache, "What's the dissatisfaction this time?"

Madam Che said: "It is said that the varieties of wintersweet in the yard are not good, and they should be replaced with red plums."

Gao said angrily: "It's a trivial matter, you can make the decision and let someone change it. Why bother me?"

Mammy Che hurriedly said: "Not only are wintersweets replaced, but Master Ziwen said that the quilts, curtains, and screens in the room are too rough, so they should all be replaced with brocade and mist, and those decorations are only worth a few taels or a few taels." His gadgets are not expensive at all, and he asked to put the best antiques in the mansion in his room."

She can make decisions about Lamei, but the following matters involve tens of taels to hundreds of taels. How can she be the master as a nun?
Gao's eyebrows were so tight that he could pinch a mosquito to death, and couldn't help complaining, "The son raised by the second master's family is really too tricky, he is more particular than our uncle's master, I don't know if it's deliberately embarrassing, or he wants to show off his knowledge , it's really..." It's too disgusting.

But Mrs. Gao couldn't say the last few words. Although the uncle's mansion has the title of third-rank uncle, Lu Congyuan is just a small Beijing official with no future. On the other hand, if Lu Congguang takes over as Qingzhou Tongzhi this time, he will do well and achieve great achievements. Go up at any time, the future is limitless.

So Gao couldn't afford to be offended, and dared not speak out.

She endured the dissatisfaction in her heart, "According to Ziwen's request, make sure that the two of them feel at home during their stay in Beijing."

"Yes, old lady."

"Grandma, I'm going back first." After listening to the gossip, Lu Xinyan bid farewell and left.

A rare smile appeared on Gao's face, "Don't worry about the leather goods store, just play with your cousins ​​for a few days."

"Got it, grandma."

After Lu Xinyan left, Xiao Gao said, "Auntie, what's your plan for the fur shop?"

Gao said: "Starting from tomorrow, you will come to the door one by one in person, and compensate those old customers. Be sure to ask the other party to change the order to next year!"

Xiao Gao pouted secretly, "What about you, aunt?" She came to the door to be angry, but Gao sat at home and enjoyed it?Xiao Gao was naturally upset.

Mrs. Gao squinted at her, "I will find a way to trust someone to find a source of leather goods. That little hoof doesn't care about the few hundred taels. I don't want my shop to lose money like this in the future."

In these words, he actually regarded himself as the owner of Lu Xinyan's shops.

"If my niece gets things done..." Xiao Gao felt that she had to say something first, and she had done the hardest and most tiring work. If she didn't get anything by then, wouldn't it be a great loss?

"If it works, I'll give you a quarter of those shops." Seeing that Xiao Gao seemed dissatisfied, Mrs. Gao said lightly, "If you don't want to, forget it. I think Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhu and three The daughter-in-law will be very happy."

If it weren't for the fact that you are my niece, I would give you a quarter of it?Don't know what is good or bad!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gao smiled and said: "My niece just asked casually like this. Auntie, you are so outspoken! Auntie, Ruixiang and A Lin will come tomorrow. My niece is going to see the arranged residence. Are you ready?"

"Well, go get busy."

-

In the morning of the next day, Wang Lin and Zhang Ruixiang, Gao and Xiao Gao's family or grandmother's family, several young unmarried nephews and nephews came to Ankangbo Mansion one after another.

Gao Ling, whose arm was broken by Qingtong, heard that there were so many competitors, he didn't care about the pain in his arm, hung his arms, and immediately got up from the bed.

Zhang Ruixiang is a relative of Xiao Gao's grandmother's family, and has nothing to do with Gao, while Wang Lin is the grandson of Gao's grandmother's cousin, although he is also related to Xiao Gao, but after all, the blood is far away, not as close as Zhang Ruixiang and her .

The two are the most valued by Xiao Gao and Gao besides Gao Ling. When introducing them, they really promoted them a lot. It seems that the chance encounter in the past two days did not happen at all.

Lu Xinyan knew that the so-called chance encounter must have been specially created by Xiao Gao and Gao, and she didn't put it bluntly, so she watched with a smile as they sang a big show.

On the contrary, Wang Lin and Zhang Ruixiang, one was humiliated because of money, and the other was humiliated because of appearance and background, and they were a little embarrassed to see Lu Xinyan.

Instead, Lu Xinyan greeted the two generously, "Hi, Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang."

She couldn't yell out about her cousin, Gao Shi and Xiao Gao Shi were stunned, "These are all your cousins."

"Grandmother, I have a stubborn nature. I haven't seen them for several years. I don't remember their appearance anymore. I can't change my mouth for a while. After a while, I will change it when I get used to it?" Talking to Gao Shi in a mean tone, Gao Shi thought about her dowry, so it was hard to refute for a while, "Then in the days to come, you should accompany them well and get to know them quickly, lest outsiders laugh at our young lady in the harem for being unruly." .”

"Understood, grandma." Lu Xinyan said respectfully, "To express my apology, I asked someone to make an appointment at Liu Ji Restaurant. Please have a meeting, gentlemen. I wonder if you are free?"

The consumption of Liu Ji Restaurant is not low. If Lu Xinyan spends her money elsewhere, Gao and Xiao Gao must have objections, but now she is entertaining Wang Lin and Zhang Ruixiang. You have to be free, there is no reason to meet a cousin, there is no reason why a cousin is not free! Ah Lin, Ruixiang, don’t you think so?”

"Yes, thank you, big cousin, for your kind hospitality." Several people responded one after another.

Lu Xinyan led a group of people, and walked out the door in a mighty manner.

After people entered the door, Lu Xinwan, who was so bored, wandered around the garden with the jadeite. While admiring the flowers, she suddenly saw Lily, the maid beside Lu Xinhan, with a hurried look on her face.

Lu Xinwan called her to stop, "Lily, why is it so urgent?"

Lily's complexion changed, she put her hands together immediately, and bowed to Lu Xinwan, "Second Miss, Third Miss just ordered the servant to do something, now that the work is over, the servant is rushing to report to Third Miss, so I'm in a hurry."

"What did the third sister ask you to do?" Lu Xinwan kept looking at Lily with bright eyes.

Lily lowered her eyes, "It's just a trivial matter, it's already been done, thank you for your concern, Second Miss."

"Really?" Lu Xinwan sneered, "Stretch out your hand."

"Second Miss, what do you mean?" Lily bit her lip.

Seeing that she didn't obey her orders, Lu Xinwan called Fei Cui over, "Ji Cui, find the things on Lily's body!"

"Yes, Second Miss." Fei Cui stepped forward and grabbed Lily, unceremoniously stretched out her hand, and directly touched her sleeve.

"Second Miss, Sister Fei Cui, this servant is ticklish, please let this servant go?" Lily laughed while struggling, trying to get away with it, but unfortunately, Fei Cui still found her belongings.

"Second Miss." Fei Cui quickly retreated to Lu Xinwan's side, and handed her the things she found.

It was a letter written by Lu Xinhan, the third lady of the Ankangbo Mansion. The writing was strong and it looked like it was written by a man.

Lu Xinwan sneered and said, "Okay, I didn't expect that the third younger sister would have an affair with a foreigner. I'm going to tell my grandmother and mother!"

"Second Miss!" Baihe knelt down on the ground with a plop, "This is the first time this letter has been delivered, and the servant happened to be going to do something, so the concierge handed the letter to the servant to bring to the third lady. The third lady didn't know about it. Second Miss, please forgive me!"

"Whether the third sister knows or not, you can't say it doesn't count! You are her maid, so naturally you can help her speak well." Lu Xinwan said: "I will ask the third sister myself!"

She turned around and hurriedly walked towards Lu Xinhan's yard, Lily shouted anxiously from behind, "Second Miss, Second Miss."

Lu Xinwan turned a deaf ear and walked faster and faster.

Lu Xinhan was embroidering at this time, seeing Lu Xinwan's domineering look, she hurriedly put down the embroidery work in her hands, and said with a smile: "Second sister, why come to my place when you have time?"

Lu Xinwan put the letter in her hand on the table, "Tell me, which wild man wrote this letter to you?"

Lu Xinhan's eyes flashed, her expression was calm, "Second Sister, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"This letter is written with your name on it, and the handwriting looks like a man's handwriting!" Lu Xinwan sneered and said, "You are just a concubine, you don't want to be famous, but don't ruin the reputation of all the young ladies in this mansion. The face of the government!"

"Second sister, how could you wrong me so much?" Lu Xinhan said with tears in her eyes, "I stay in this uncle's house every day. When I have free time, I either embroider or spend time with you and fourth sister. When I go out occasionally, I also spend time with my mother and second sister Sister and you are together, have you ever been single, how can there be any chance to meet a foreigner?"

Lu Xinwan thought for a while, and found that what Lu Xinhan said was very reasonable. She really had no chance to meet any foreigner. Lu Xinwan asked: "You really don't know?"

"I really don't know, if my second sister wants me to swear, I can swear!" Lu Xinhan firmly held back the tears from her eyes, and raised three fingers, "I, Lu Xinhan, swear to the sky..."

"All right, all right, I swear, I believe you." Lu Xinwan pulled her hand down, acting like a good sister, "I'm just afraid that you will be deceived by someone when you are young, and lose the uncle's house." face."

Lu Xinhan lowered her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes, her voice was weak, "I understand the kindness of the second sister."

"But who do you think is so bold to write to you?" Lu Xinwan picked up the envelope and read it again and again.

"I don't know, why don't you take it apart and have a look, maybe it's someone's prank!"

Speaking of pranks, Lu Xinwan thought of Lu Xinyan, maybe she was bored and deliberately tricked Lu Xinhan.

Although Lu Xinwan thought so, she still opened the letter. After reading it, her face gradually changed from pink to red because of anger.

"Second Sister, what is written in this letter?" Lu Xinhan asked curiously, and at the same time approached Lu Xinwan, standing on tiptoe, wanting to find out.

Lu Xinwan quickly put away the letter, "It's nothing, you're right, it's a prank, third sister don't read it, so as not to panic, I'll go and throw it away for you."

After she finished speaking, she walked directly to the door without even calling for Fei Cui.

Fei Cui quickly blessed Lu Xinhan and followed.

After the two left, Lu Xinhan put away the weakness on his face, and a mocking expression appeared in his eyes.

Bai He was puzzled and said, "Third Miss, isn't it a pity that the letter was taken away by Second Miss? Such a good opportunity, why didn't you make plans for yourself?"

Lu Xinhan said: "Second sister is right. My status as a concubine is destined to be unattainable for some people, so although I have been tempted, I don't wishful thinking! Second sister thinks that she is a concubine, superior to others, and naively thinks that with her With her beautiful looks and her status as a concubine of the uncle's house, she can climb most of the high schools in the capital, but she has never had the opportunity before. Now that there is an opportunity in front of her, how can she not cherish it? More importantly, This is her best chance to prove that she is better than Lu Xinyan, she will not let it go!"

"Third Miss, this servant still doesn't understand that Second Miss is not really good to you. You don't want to seize this opportunity, why give it to Second Miss?"

"Let?" Lu Xinhan sneered twice, "Since my second sister forced me to marry into the Shen family on her behalf, and mercilessly exposed my identity as a concubine in front of Mr. Kong, she and I have lost our sisterhood. ! Now this great gift, if you can afford it, it’s a gift, if you can’t bear it, it’s poison! With my second sister’s brains, I bet she will probably turn it into poison!"

"What if the second lady doesn't do anything?"

"I don't mind adding fuel to the flames, just help her!" Lu Xinhan said, "Lily, you should pay attention to Jadeite's movements in the past two days. If Jadeite hasn't sent a reply after two days, you can tell me right away."

"Understood, Miss San."

Lu Xinwan held the letter firmly in her palm, and walked towards her courtyard without looking back.

His whole body was trembling because of jealousy and anger.

Back in the house, she was so angry that she knocked all the teacups on the table to the ground, the water splashed everywhere, and the teacups swirled around until they turned to the feet of Jade who was catching up with her.

"Second Miss, what did you write in this letter that made you so angry?" Fei Cui was very puzzled. Logically speaking, the letter was written to Lu Xinhan, and there was nothing wrong with Lu Xinwan. Why was she angry for no reason?

"Look for yourself!" Lu Xinwan slapped the letter on the table vigorously, and walked up and down the room violently.

Fei Cui could read some words, she picked up the letter curiously and looked at it, but she couldn't read some words, so she guessed roughly from front to back, and finally understood the meaning of the letter.

After Fei Cui finished reading it, she understood the reason for Lu Xinwan's anger, and she said angrily, "This young miss is really good, and I don't know what kind of magic tricks, so one or two are so fascinated that they all circle around her!"

"It really pissed me off! In the past, she was the daughter of the prostitute, who overwhelmed me everywhere. Now I am the daughter of the concubine, and she is just a piece of junk that came home from Yiheli. On my head?" Lu Xinwan was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say, "As soon as she came back, the third prince, Princess Chang'an, gave her a gift, and Mr. Gongsun gave her a gift. The next day, Mr. Shen came to ask for a marriage. Mr. Kong is so fascinated! Now Mr. Kong actually wrote a letter to ask the third sister to help him ask that bitch out! Why? Why?"

After Lu Xinwan finished speaking, she raised her foot and kicked a brown round stool fiercely. After the round stool fell to the ground, it kept spinning like a spinning top. Fei Cui hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and turned her head to comfort her: "Second Miss, you are a serious daughter-in-law now. Young lady, comparing yourself with the young lady who is a divorced woman does not humiliate your identity! From the perspective of the servants, there is no need for you to be angry. Think about it, with the current status of the young lady, apart from marrying a widower to fill the house, Or as a concubine, which noble son would like to marry her as his wife? I heard that some sons are very curious about married women in private, but because of their status, they can't see it on the surface. The eldest lady used to be a married woman, and now Heli is a free agent, which just gives those sons and brothers a chance to dabble in novelty, so they will circle around her one by one, wanting to take the opportunity to play around."

After Fei Cui said this, Lu Xinwan gradually calmed down, "You are right, no matter how many people hang around her, it is impossible for them to marry her. Except for Mr. Shen who can't..., other people can at most flatter and play with her." In life, if you really want to talk about marriage and marry a bride, you will still choose from decent ladies."

Fei Cui took the opportunity to flatter her, "Second Miss is right, with your beauty, you will definitely be able to marry the right man!"

Lu Xinwan was in a good mood, so she temporarily revealed the matter.
