Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 96
Dong Yuran can be regarded as the former prince's savior, so no one dared to say anything about her for being so arrogant all these years.But she is arrogantly cute, arrogant and polite, so she won't make people feel domineering.

"Well, next time I will definitely report back to the emperor and ask him to make you a county lord as well."

The three were talking, and Lan Xi took the fruit distributed by the public to the three ladies.Chu Lingyue was not interested in looking at these citrus and the like, but Dong Yuran was very interested, picked up one, peeled it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Eat it, too. Weiyuanhou's mansion is full of good things now, Yanhe, let me tell you, if you don't eat it now, you won't have a chance to turn around. Ah bah!"

At the end, Dong Yuran spat out the oranges in his mouth and said with a bitter face: "Ling Yue, isn't it just eating one of your oranges, as for the sour ones?"

Chu Lingyue looked at the yellow-orange oranges on the table a little strangely. It stands to reason that the things distributed by the public would not be defective, so how could Dong Yuran react so sourly.Meng Yanhe also laughed, picked up one and peeled it and handed it to Dong Yuran's mouth, saying: "You are unlucky to get a sour one, why blame Ling Yue."

Dong Yuran also felt reasonable, nodded, and threw the orange in his hand to eat Meng Yanhe's.Bite down, Dong Yuran looked at Meng Yanhe with a wrinkled face and said, "Your luck is not very good, this orange is bitter!"

Meng Yanhe was a little surprised, picked up the oranges on the table and looked carefully, shook his head and said, "Strange, why are these oranges different from Lingnan Tangerines?"

One sentence made Chu Lingyue realize that something was wrong, picked up the orange and looked at it carefully, and then called Lan Xi over.

"Did this orange just arrive today?"

Lan Xi didn't know what happened, so she tilted her head and looked at the three young ladies, saying: "Miss Hui, this is the fruit that was distributed by the public today. I saw the two young ladies coming, so I took some out." .”

"I mean, are these oranges that were bought in the mansion recently, or are they oranges from before?"

The Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion is very particular about buying quickly. The masters in the mansion only eat Huainan tangerines. When they come to the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion because of Chu Tengyun's relationship, they will naturally gain more face in front of the emperor. Therefore, the last time the palace There are also a lot of rare foods that come down, and Lingnan tangerine, a rare fruit in winter, is also among them.So, how on earth did this sour stuff get in the way?

"I don't know about this servant girl, but you can ask Madam Sun who is next to Madam Sun. Mama Sun is responsible for shopping."

When Lan Xi said it, Chu Lingyue also remembered.Putting down the oranges, he smiled, making Meng Yanhe and Dong Yuran a little apprehensive.

"Did you think of something?" Dong Yuran poked Chu Lingyue curiously, and sat down beside her.

Chu Lingyue shook her head, shrugged her shoulders to indicate that she didn't know.However, there has never been a mistake in the cost of food and clothing in this mansion, so why did it go wrong today.

"You, don't hold back if you have something to do. Although we don't have much ability, do you know that the three cobblers have surpassed Zhuge Liang!" Dong Yuran was angry when he saw Chu Lingyue's expression that I didn't want to say, and punched him on the ground. On Chu Lingyue's shoulder, "Hmph, I'm ignoring you!"

"Where is it? It's just some random ideas. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. What are you in a hurry for?"

Chu Lingyue was a little helpless, she pulled Dong Yuran's face and squeezed it hard, deforming her chubby face, and her mood improved even more, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so don't worry , there must be a good show to watch then!"

With Chu Lingyue's guarantee, Dong Yuran stopped losing his temper, and made an appointment with a smile to go back with Meng Yanhe and then left Linglong Courtyard to go home.
After seeing off the two people, Chu Lingyue took Mei Xiang to Kunwu Courtyard.In the Kunwu Courtyard, Shen Bixiang was checking the recent purchase account, seeing Chu Lingyue coming in, he quickly pulled her to sit down.

"It's a hot day, don't stay in the room and come out to run around."

"Auntie, have you tasted the fruits and vegetables provided by the nearest mansion?" Chu Lingyue did not say anything, picked up the oranges on the small table next to Shen Bixiang and looked carefully.

It's Huainan Tangerine. It seems that it was deliberately sent to her as a poor gift.

"No, I don't like oranges, and your uncle doesn't like them either. I bought the ones on the table a few days ago, and I sent them to the girl in the room recently."

Shen Bixiang was a little strange, isn't it all right, why something went wrong.Chu Lingyue asked Mei Xiang to bring the oranges, then put the tangerines in Shen Bixiang's room together, and compared them carefully for him to see, and by the way, talked about what happened this afternoon.As soon as Shen Bixiang heard it, he knew that someone had tampered with the timing.Mama Sun is in charge of keeping the accounts. No matter how much the buyers buy, she will keep a record beside them. Mama Sun can't believe that something like this happened.

"Don't worry, auntie, why don't you ask the girl in your room if she has eaten this kind of sour orange."

If it's aimed at Chu Lingyue, then it's one thing, but if it's aimed at everyone, then there's something weird about it.

Shen Bixiang called the girl next to her, "Yu'er, do you want to eat the oranges that I rewarded you today?"

"Go back to Madam, eat." Yu'er is Shen Bixiang's personal servant girl who has been serving Shen Bixiang for many years. Seeing Shen Bixiang's serious expression, she realized that something was wrong and quickly asked in a low voice: "But what's wrong?"

"how is the taste?"

"It's sour." Yu'er replied truthfully. At this point, Yu'er added, "Speaking of this, madam, recently there is not only a problem with the food in the house, but also with the ration of the slaves."

"What's the problem!" Shen Bixiang's voice was a bit colder, Yu'er knew it wasn't aimed at her, and she was not afraid, so she said it clearly.

"Whether the maids in the mansion are graded or not, they will be given a menstrual belt every month. On weekdays, the menstrual belts in the mansion are made of cotton cloth, but the menstrual belts that were issued recently are plant ash. And, As the Chinese New Year is approaching, a few days ago, Madam made clothes for the maids and servants in the mansion. The clothes of the masters were delivered early, but there were many slaves, so they were delivered late. The slaves were really stunned when they got the clothes. Although the clothes are light and thick, they are not warm."

"Reed flower?" Chu Lingyue suddenly remembered this thing. It looked like cotton, but it was not warm at all.If someone made such a reed padded coat in winter, they would freeze to death outside at noon.

"Miss Hui, it's not reed flowers. It's cotton mixed with reed flowers." While speaking, Yu'er ran to the cubicle to get the newly distributed cotton clothes and showed them to Shen Bixiang and Chu Lingyue.

Chu Lingyue looked in through the opening opened by Yu'er, and found that the cotton padded jacket had three layers of filling, the outermost layer was made of cotton, and the innermost layer was also made of cotton, but the middle layer was made of reed flowers, thick reed flowers Being sandwiched between two thin layers of cotton, Chu Lingyue couldn't help but sneer.

"This is really hard work."

"Isn't that right! If this thought was used on the examination of the number one scholar, it would have already entered the emperor's presence!" Shen Bixiang was also grieving, she had been with Chu Tengyun for a long time, and treated the servants just like Chu Tengyun treated his own soldiers Love and love are added, and now seeing the servants getting such cotton-padded clothes, their hands are shaking with anger.

When Yu'er saw it, she repeatedly comforted her, "Mother, please don't be angry because of such a small matter. In such a big mansion, there is something to do during the Chinese New Year, and there are many things about being corrupted by Mr. Mo's bank. Don't be angry because of this." with his own body."

"Do you know who did it?" Of course Shen Bixiang knew that the mansion was so big that corruption and other things would definitely happen, but he didn't expect it to be so blatant!

"The slaves don't know, it's just Madam, there are only a few people who can move the meals of the masters without being discovered."

What Yu'er said was right, the ones who have touched the things of the masters and haven't found out yet are the housekeeper, Mama Du, and Mama Sun, these shameless slaves.The housekeeper and Mama Du will not talk about it. Although the housekeeper is in charge of dealing with etiquette, and Mama Du is in charge of the overall distribution, it’s true, but one of them is currently drawing up a list of gifts for exchanges, and the other is not free. They can’t get hooked on these things. .These things are routine procedures, so it shouldn't have much to do with the two of them.

If it were really these two people, they would never have exposed such a big flaw.

"Okay, I see." Shen Bixiang nodded and let Yu'er go down.Chu Lingyue and Shen Bixiang fell into silence. Suddenly, Shen Bixiang opened his mouth and said with a sneer: "Catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and take the double. I want to see how shameless this person can be!"

That night, Shen Bixiang called everyone in the Hou Mansion to go to the Kunwu Courtyard.When Sun Qionghe arrived, she happened to see Mother Sun kneeling on the ground without saying a word. She gave her a strange look and said hello to Shen Bixiang, "Greetings to Madam, what's the big deal about asking us all to come here so late?"

"Can't I ask my aunt to come over and chat about family affairs if I have nothing to do? It's almost Chinese New Year, and we haven't talked much this year. Today I just have a little leisure time, so I want to call my aunt and Mr. Shi Lang to let us have a good time. say something."

Sun Qionghe covered her mouth and smiled, and sat down next to Lu Hengtao, "I thought it was something. When I entered the door and saw Mama Sun kneeling on the ground, I thought she had done something wrong. Madam wants to punish her."

"Slaves, they are not allowed to kneel when the master sits?" Shen Bixiang sneered, took a sip of tea, and when he put it down, the tea bowl made a crisp "click" sound on the small table.

There was not much noise at first, but Mama Sun trembled in fright and almost fell to the ground.

Sun Qionghe realized that this was definitely a grand feast, but leaving at this time was a bit too pretentious, so he decided to stand still and quietly watch which play Shen Bixiang was singing.

"It's the end of the year, and I have to trouble everyone in the house with a lot of things, but I'm extra busy." Shen Bixiang put down the tea cup, watched Sun's mother tremble coldly, and said something irrelevant.Sun Qionghe didn't answer the call, and Chu Lingyue didn't go up to answer the call either.When it came out today, she agreed to only watch the play, but she didn't say anything about it, so as not to blame it on her again.
