Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 86 Mrs. Cai came to visit, Mrs. Jiang was slapped in the face
"Zhuzhu, quickly help grandma up, grandma will go to meet her herself!"

Mrs. Feng is a first-rank wife and an elder. Cai's husband, Ge Anping, is only a fourth-rank. According to the etiquette, there is no need for Mrs. Feng to greet her in person.

But she is the queen's sister-in-law, and now that the Guangping Hou's family is suspected of offending the Ge's family, Feng wanted to show weakness first, hoping that the other party would look on her side and minimize the loss of the Hou's family.

Lu Xinyan supported Feng Shi and had just walked two steps when Cai Shi had already entered from the bead curtain. Seeing Feng Shi fighting in battle, she let out an ouch, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Feng Shi and let her sit on the Arhat couch, "Old lady, you What is this for? It’s killing me!”

"Sitting for an hour, I'm a little tired, so get up and walk around." Feng Shi chuckled, and looked carefully at Cai Shi, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and Ah Ying is getting more and more fresh. The old man's eyes were blurred just now, and he thought he was back in the past. When you are not out of the cabinet."

Feng Shi was reminding Cai Shi that it was all thanks to Lu Xinyan that she returned to favor with a radiant face today.

Mrs. Cai pursed her lips and smiled, "That's not true, when I saw the old lady just now, I thought I was back when I was not out of the pavilion."

Feng laughed so hard that she leaned forward and backward, "Aying's mouth is becoming more and more deceptive! I think that girl Zitong is up to you."

Ge Zitong is the eldest daughter of the Cai family. She is thirteen years old. Her appearance and temperament are seven points like Cai's. She is already a well-known beauty in Beijing at a young age.

"Oh, old lady, don't mention that girl, she has become more and more disobedient recently, and dare to talk back to the master..."

The two happily hugged and hugged each other secretly, and chatted for a while about some irrelevant people and things.

Lu Xinyan secretly admired how calm the two of them were, you came and I talked for a long time but didn't talk about the serious matter.

Seeing the two of them going around in circles, the Jiang family on one side couldn't bear it any longer, so he found a spare time, and interjected with a flattering smile, "Mrs. Ge is busy with work, so I came to visit Auntie specially today, but what's the matter? Some people don't know the seriousness of their actions, and they offend nobles without knowing it, Madam Wangge will give some advice because of the good relationship between Mother and Madam Cai."

This person who doesn't know the seriousness of his actions is naturally referring to Lu Xinyan.

"Guangping Hou's Mansion has gone through a hundred years. The Marquis of all dynasties have been the pillars of the country and the model of the court. There is also the old lady, the first-class wife who was bestowed by the late emperor and the empress dowager. She is a model of noble ladies in Beijing! How can you say that you don't know the importance of doing things?"

Cai showed a face of shame, "Madam Gong said so, I will not dare to visit the old lady in the future, and disturb everyone."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone except Lu Xinyan was stunned.

Didn't you come to ask for trouble?Jiang's face was hot, as if someone had slapped him hard.

"Look at my memory!" Mrs. Cai slapped her head and blamed herself with a smile: "I was so busy reminiscing with the old lady that I almost forgot the important thing! Thank you Madam Gong for reminding me! Nanny Ding, bring the gift quickly!"

Soon, a few servants waiting outside came in from the outside holding a painted red and gold-plated gift box.

Several pieces of smooth and supple brocade, a box of warm and lustrous pearls the size of pigeon eggs, several boxes of top-quality wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest fish maw, and two boxes of dazzling and exquisite jewelry.

Those jewels and brocades were radiant and of excellent quality, and the room suddenly lit up, dazzled several people's eyes.

"A Ying, what do you mean?" Feng Shi already understood Cai Shi's intention in her heart, pretending not to know, and said: "A Ying, your mother's handkerchief and I made friends with each other, and we are all small gifts. You suddenly came to the door with a big gift. , I will go to the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion in the future, won't I also have to bring expensive gifts?"

"Madam, you guessed wrong." Cai said with a smile, "This gift is not all for you."

Feng said: "It's not for me, it's for our Houfu. It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

"These boxes of tonics are half for you, old lady, and half for Lord Hou and his wife; one box of jewelry belongs to the third lady. A few days ago, the servants in the mansion didn't take good care of them in Wuyanghou's mansion, so the third lady I was frightened, so I specially sent it to Miss San on behalf of my mother to apologize."

When Gong Rou heard that she had a share, she was overjoyed and forgot all the humiliation of the past few days, "Thank you Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Ge, Rou'er dare not be that."

"This is what you deserve, don't be polite." Cai paused, "The rest is for the Young Madam! My aunt was ignorant and let her maid hurt the maid next to the Young Madam. The master was furious when he found out , blamed my aunt for not following the rules, punished her to ground her feet, and told me to bring gifts and come to the door to make amends! No, in order to prepare these gifts, I forgot to post a post in advance, so I came here in a hurry!"

Lu Xinyan glanced at the gifts out of the corner of her eyes. The goods were new, but there were no particularly rare items. With the ability of the Ge family, it would take at most one day to prepare these gifts. Mrs. Cai came here in a hurry today. It seems that Ge Anping checked It took some time for evidence of collusion between Aunt He's family and Miao's family.

"Mrs. Cai is really polite. There was something wrong with Zhuzhu that day, so I ask Madam to apologize to Lord Ge and Aunt He on behalf of Zhuzhu." Lu Xinyan bowed her head gracefully.

She had a calm expression on her face, she was not moved at all by receiving gifts and apologies from the Ge family, and her every move was like everyone's demeanor, which is really rare!
Mrs. Ge felt a little pity, she originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to make friends with Lu Xinyan, that's why she planned the banquet at Wuyanghou's Mansion.

Later, not only witnessed her miraculous makeup ability again, but also knew that she could recite poems and compose Fu, and that she was a talented woman even better than Shen Yuyan, the number one talented woman in the capital.

She has talent, character, good looks, knows how to keep a low profile, hide her edge, and is generous without being cowardly. It's a pity that she was blacklisted by the second prince and the third princess.

As the aunt of the second prince and third princess, Cai has no choice.

It is possible not to be an enemy, but no matter how difficult it is to be a friend!
"Young Madam, please hurry up! At Qingyan Temple that day, I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you, but I didn't expect to meet you at that time, and I didn't prepare any good meeting ceremony! A few days ago, you were in our Marquis Mansion It shined brightly and added a lot of color to the whole banquet. Auntie and I are very pleased! Just take this opportunity to show your heart! You can't shirk it!"

Hearing this, Gong Yu and Gongrou looked at Lu Xinyan jealously. It was such an honor to be liked by the current queen's sister-in-law, why did it happen to her?

Gong Jin and Jiang frowned slightly, as if they were puzzled, but the brilliance in Feng's eyes dimmed a lot.

"Then Zhuzhu would be more respectful than obedient, thank you Mrs. Cai, thank you Mrs. Ge." Lu Xinyan smiled and saluted, but knew it well in her heart.

Cai deliberately brought out Qingyan Temple, implying that these gifts are to thank her for helping her dress up, not just a hush money, but also a parting fee.

Because of the second prince and the third princess, Cai chose to draw a line with her.

That's why at the beginning, I talked with Feng Shi for a long time, and didn't directly get into the topic, just to tell her this fact.

Jiang Shi didn't know what was going on, it's normal not to understand, but Feng Shi knew it in his heart, "Aying has time to thank your mother for me, and when I get better, I will definitely come to the door with Zhuzhu to thank you in person."

Ge Mansion is Ge Mansion, and Wuyanghou Mansion is Wuyanghou Mansion, but they do not want to make friends with them, not to break off friendship, especially between Guangping Hou Mansion and Wuyang Hou Mansion.

"I will definitely bring it. If Mother finds out, she must be very happy." Cai said with a smile: "I sent people to deliver the presents from Jin'er and others to everyone's yards."

"Madame Xie Ge!"

Cai stood up, "It's getting late, I won't disturb the old lady's rest, I will leave first."

"I'm really tired after sitting for so long, so I won't take you far away, and let the eldest daughter-in-law take you to the front door in person."

After another refusal, Mrs. Cai finally left.

Feng took a long breath, with a tired look on his face, "Zhuzhu stay here, you all go down."

"Yes, mother (grandmother)."

After Gong Jin and the others left, Feng's expression finally couldn't hold back, "Zhuzhu, what happened in Wuyang Hou Mansion a few days ago?"

"Grandmother, the third younger sister was in the garden at the time and asked me to compose a poem when she saw the chrysanthemums blooming in full bloom. In the end, she accidentally ran into Miss Shen's family. Finally, under the playfulness of the third prince, they held a grand meeting." In a sparring match, it happened that the first prince, the second prince and the third princess were all here, and Zhuzhu accidentally won."

Everyone in the Hou Mansion has never told Feng Shi about this matter, because the matter of the Ge family has not been resolved, Feng Shi was worried in his heart, and was afraid that talking about it would increase her heart burden.

Now that the Ge family's matter has been resolved, Feng Shi asked again, and Lu Xinyan told the truth.

"This Rou'er!" Feng said angrily, "It really was born by my aunt, I can't get on the table with shallow eyes!"
