Chapter 107 Gossip
Seeing the wife of the third room gave Xia Keyu a meeting gift, the wife of the second room couldn't sit still anymore, so she patted herself on the head on purpose and said:
"Look at my memory, once I see such a beautiful daughter-in-law as Yuan'er, I forget everything."

As he spoke, he took off a purebred blue jade bracelet from his hand with distress, and said enthusiastically: "This jade bracelet is a tribute from Donghai, and I give it to you as a meeting gift."

Xia Keyu pretended to decline a few times, until Mrs. Chu said: "You can take it if they give it to you, they are elders."

Xia Keyu also knew the truth that "the elders can't refuse the gift", so he could only express his gratitude with a generous salute.

Only then did they sit down, and the little maid served tea.

Seeing this, the wife of the third room took the initiative to ask Xia Keyu's name.Xia Keyu replied:
"'Ke' is the 'ke' that is possible, and Yu is the 'Jinyu' Yu."

The wife of the third room nodded, and said lightly: "Looking at it this way, you belong to gold. Yuan'er belongs to water, and gold and water are born together. It is indeed a godsend."

When Mrs. Chu heard the sound, she said happily, "Is there still such a saying?"

Second Aunt Chu on the side quickly interjected, jokingly said with a smile: "I think my siblings are reading these strange books every day in the room."

Xia Keyu keenly noticed that the wife of the third bedroom frowned inadvertently when she heard this, but soon relaxed it, as if nothing happened.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chu took a sip of tea, and stopped mentioning the matter, and urged:

"If Ke Yu has free time in the future, you can come and sit often, and the left and right sides are also close. Let Yuan'er bring you here, so that you can get acquainted in advance."

Xia Keyu pretended to be shy and nodded.

Then Second Aunt Chu teased affectionately: "Look at these young couples who are more compatible together, but in the future, Yu should marry early and give birth to a big fat grandson for our Chu family."

Xia Keyu pretended to be shy and covered his face with his sleeves and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for Ke Yu to go back."

Seeing this, Second Aunt Chu smiled and said, "This is because the new wife is shy."

Seeing this, Chu Yuan who had been standing aside took the initiative to say, "I'd better send her back."

Second Aunt Chu joked, "Yuan'er already knows how to protect his daughter-in-law before we get through the door." In short, the words were full of ridicule, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu hurriedly saluted and left.

After Xia Keyu left, the third wife's wife also got up with an excuse.Seeing this, Mrs. Chu said, "Take some cherries and try them out. It's Ke Yu's wish. You all have a taste."

As he said that, he asked the little maid to distribute some to the people in the second room and the third room.

The wife of the third bedroom ordered her servants to carry the cherries back.After she left, Mrs. Chu said to Aunt Chu:

"You take some cherries back, too."

Second Aunt Chu wanted to thank you, but she heard Mrs. Chu continue to say: "Don't listen to those rumors."

Aunt Chu's face turned red immediately, feeling both embarrassed and ashamed.It's just that she was about to say something when she saw Mrs. Chu had closed her eyes and said:
"My old man squinted for a while."

Second Aunt Chu had no choice but to swallow her anger, saluted silently, and then left.

Along the way, she just kept silent, but the servant girl who was familiar with her knew very well that her master was angry.

After finally returning to Xiuqi Pavilion, seeing the gate closed, Second Aunt Chu looked coldly at the cherry in the little maid's hand, and said with a sneer:

"Smash it up and throw it away!"

The little maid didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly ordered her servants to throw the basket of fresh cherries out.

Second Aunt Chu added: "Just throw it in my yard."

Immediately, he sat in front of the window, watching the servants smash all the fresh rosy cherries and throw them under the big tree in the yard for composting. He seemed to be still furious in his heart, and cursed:
"This damn old woman, I've worked so hard to please her for so long, but I can't compare to a word from that little bitch, because she didn't crawl out of her belly. She's always been like this."

The servant girl was already very familiar with such remarks, so she just lowered her head and remained silent.

Second Aunt Chu continued to scold: "Small households have no rules, and I didn't know to report in advance when I came here, so I paid me a jade bracelet for nothing."

The little girl didn't know who this sentence was scolding.

Aunt Chu continued to criticize Sang and scolded Huai: "Isn't it just that I have studied for a few more days? I show off to Qiao day after day, pretending to be a champion if I have the ability."

The little girl is familiar with this sentence, she is studying, she must be scolding the wife of the third bedroom.Just listening to the words, it seems that there is one more person being scolded now.

Aunt Chu scolded for a long time before she stopped.

On the other side, Chu Yuan led Xia Keyu out, and there were little maids and servants hiding in various places to watch Xia Keyu secretly.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan comforted him: "There are many people in the house who are distracted, that's how it is."

Xia Keyu didn't mind at all, instead he said brazenly: "Of course it's because I'm pretty~"

When Chu Yuan heard the sound, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.Indeed, his daughter-in-law is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Qing Ya at the side heard the sound, and said with a snicker: "It turns out that no matter where you work as a maid, it's always like this."

In this way, the so-called disappearance of Xia Keyu was resolved.

Occasionally, some people mentioned these rumors in front of Mrs. Chu, but Mrs. Chu mercilessly and forcefully rebuked them back:

"There is no such thing at all. Keyu came to our house that day and gave my old woman a basket of cherries to eat."

Others didn't dare to talk anymore.

Soon a major event happened in Beijing, which diverted everyone's attention.

Concubine Ning Guifei's mother's family, the Ning family, was given a solid book, saying that they occupied the salt well without authorization and sold private salt.

This Ning family was originally a common surname in the two Zhejiang provinces.There are many large and small salt wells in the area, which have always been owned by the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, the Ning family ordered the court to close the salt wells under the pretext that several salt wells were exhausted.In fact, he was secretly digging salt wells and selling them.

The "Salt and Iron Official Camp" has always been an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court.What the Ning family did was undoubtedly emptying the national treasury.

The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.

Hearing that the emperor in the palace heard about this, he was so angry that he overturned the desks in the royal study.Demand a thorough investigation into this matter, and absolutely no tolerance will be tolerated.

Ning Taishi and his party temporarily resigned from office to accept investigation.The third prince, who had just been released from the confinement, was severely scolded by the emperor.

Concubine Ning Gui, who came to intercede, was also shut behind closed doors by the emperor, and she, who was originally a favorite concubine, was also demoted.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the sky seems to be changing in this palace.

With this matter covered up, no one will discuss Xia Keyu's disappearance anymore.

This day, Xia Keyu was eating melons in peace of mind in the room, when Qing Ya reminded: "Miss, Chi Yan sent someone over."

Now it's Xia Keyu's turn to be strange, what does it mean to send someone over?
