Lady Changning

Chapter 24 The mandarin duck spectrum (1)

But the businessman in front of him seemed to be seeing a rich man, he kept lobbying, and the price was higher than the other, but it was obviously worthless stuff.

"This is good." The fourth prince, Huangfu Zihong, gestured with a garnet-red curved petal hairpin in his hand.

Although this hairpin doesn't have any texture, the workmanship is fairly fine, but it's not worth a lot of money.

"How much is this hairpin?"

Before Xi Changning could stop him, Huangfu Zihong had already made an inquiry on his own.The boss saw that the young man in front of him was dressed in a fine attire, his belt was inlaid with jade, none of which was luxurious, and his eyeballs rolled up.

"Ten taels. This is the best hairpin we have here, absolutely top-notch."

"Then I will."

These four princes really don't know the sufferings of the world.Just by looking at the light of the boss's glasses, you can tell how much oil and water are involved.

"Fourth Young Master likes it?" Xi Changning didn't want to pour cold water on him, if he likes her, let the boss behave better, if it's just for looking at her, then don't buy it if it's something he doesn't need after all.

"I like it." He was still gesticulating, and it seemed that he really liked it.

Xi Changning looked at the boss, and when he was about to speak, he saw the fourth prince Huangfu Zihong took out a piece of jade from his waist and was about to hand it to the boss.

"What is the fourth young master doing?"

That piece of jade is translucent, moist and flawless, as long as it can be bought from the vendors on the whole street.

"Chang Ning, I think this hairpin is perfect for you, so of course I will pay for it."

As he said, the fourth prince, Huangfu Zihong, had already put the hairpin in Xi Changning's hair. The shiny black hair was dotted with pomegranate red petals. It was really pretty, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"How about I pay first, and you can pay me later."

The fourth prince is innocent, if he gave this jade to a dealer, she wouldn't dare to take him through the streets.

"When will I owe you money? Besides, can I be happy?"

It's a pity to lose a good piece of jade.But Xi Changning's heart throbbed a little, not love but simple throbbing.

"Are you hungry? I know a strange and delicious place."

"Strange and delicious shop?"

Huangfu Zihong suddenly became energetic again and shouted to hurry up.Xi Changning had no choice but to walk by memory.

Phoenix asks Phoenix.

As soon as Xi Changning stepped into Fengqiuhuang, he looked around. It seemed that someone had taken away the painting. The white wall contrasted sharply with the surrounding yellow walls. It seemed that the painting had been left for a long time.

"Girl, it's really you." The old man was very surprised to see her eyes.

"Shop, sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing and dim sum. There are quieter seats."

The old man called the waiter in the shop to lead the way. Huangfu Zihong looked in surprise at the slightly noisy shop. It's incredible.

The location upstairs by the window is quite quiet, and you can see the whole picture of the market downstairs.When the sweet-scented osmanthus wine and dim sum were served, Huangfu Zihong was already too greedy to care about etiquette.

"It's delicious."

"Miss, can you leave your name?" The old man remembered the private message left by the young master, if he meets this lady again, he will leave his name.

"You old guy is really rude, how can you ask a girl's family name like this?"

The old man knew he was being rude, but he had no choice but to look at Xi Changning eagerly.

"Xi Changning." Xi Changning softened his heart and said his name.

Knowing the name, the old man retreated wisely.

"Aren't you afraid that something will happen in the future?" Huangfu Zihong said vaguely with sweet pastry stuffed in his mouth.

Xi Changning smiled calmly, what can this ordinary family do to her?The two of them are not very interested in cakes, but Dudu likes the pot of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing very much. You and I have a cup, and two blushes have already crept up on the cheeks. Xi Changning is afraid that Huangfu Zihong will get drunk, so he calls Xiao Er to go He called the carriage at the entrance of the market, and the groom helped him into the carriage. After a while, he fell asleep, with his head resting on Xi Changning's shoulder.

When she arrived at the prime minister's mansion, she carefully pressed Huangfu Zihong's head against the carriage, got out of the carriage softly, and told the groom to drive slowly before leaving.Seeing the carriage going away, she took off her hairpin and carefully hid it in her sleeve.

Xiangfu.

The eldest lady was lying sideways on the soft couch, the maid beside her was pinching her shoulders, and the maid on the other side was drooping her legs, so she was naturally very uncomfortable.

"Mom. Look who's here."

"Ma'am, Miao'er is right." Jiang Miao'er bowed respectfully.

"So it's Miss Jiang's family. Sit down and talk. It's been a while since I've seen you visit the house." The lady also said politely.

"Let's reminisce about the old days, so you don't want to hang around here, go down."

Seeing Xi Hanxue retreating from the maidservants, the lady knew in her heart that something must have happened in the palace, as the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"Mother, you have to make the decision for Hanxue. If sister Jiang hadn't seen it, I would still be kept in the dark." Xi Hanxue immediately cried with tears.

"The eldest lady should really help my sister. Changning is too rampant. I saw it with my own eyes. She threw herself into the prince's arms. Who in this palace doesn't know that the prince likes my sister and takes care of her everywhere." Jiang Miaoer said emphatically.

On the way, the two of them had made up their minds, and if Da Furen wanted to make a move, he had to focus on the important things.

"Is this really the case? I'll say she's uneasy and well-intentioned, and it's even more annoying." The eldest lady was bored with Xi Changning from the bottom of her heart.

"Mother, if we let her go on like this, what should we do? I'm afraid the crown prince will too..." Xi Hanxue leaned against the eldest lady.

"Why? She has an ordinary appearance. How can she compare with you? It seems that she really wants to set him up."

Jiang Miaoer and Xi Hanxue exchanged glances, each secretly happy, now let's see how Xi Changning resists.

"We won't get together for a few days, Miao'er went back and told your mother, I'll invite her to the mansion, and Hanxue also asked Dongmei to send an invitation to Mrs. Yan's mansion." The lady had already started to think.

Hearing Yan Mansion, Xi Hanxue immediately understood.

Although Jiang Miaoer didn't know what the eldest lady's plan was, but without her taking action, there would be fewer things to do, and Xi Changning could be taught a lesson, so she was naturally happy.

Tayue Pavilion.

"Miss, why is it so late today? I saw the eldest lady come back, followed by the beautiful lady." Mingyu asked worriedly.

Pretty lady?It must be Jiang Miao'er, presumably the eldest lady has finished suing her.I don't know what the lady is going to do?For some reason, a person's name, Yan Xiufeng, suddenly came to mind.

"Mingyu, you should inquire among the servants. What's the matter with the eldest lady recently. You must inquire clearly, but don't make people suspicious." After thinking about it, Xi Changning always felt that something was wrong. Just in case, she must do well. Everything is ready.

"Mingyu understands."

After a few days of silence, Xi Changning always felt a little restless.Because no matter it was Xi Hanxue, the eldest lady, or even the savage Jiang Miaoer, they were all so quiet.None of this is like what they do.

Until seeing Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Yanfu appear in the mansion, Xi Changning finally knew what Mrs. Yan wanted to do.She thought that she really agreed with what the third prince Huangfu Shenqian said, how could she resist this matter?But she just wants to go against them!

big yard.

"I didn't expect the eldest lady to get younger and younger. The sisters are very envious."

The one who flattered her was Mrs. Jiang. She had the same temperament as Jiang Miao'er, and she was always a person who was unwilling to be inferior.

"Madam Jiang is right. Don't come around, we are embarrassed to stand by her side with Da Madam like this."

These tactful words came from the eldest lady of the Yan Mansion, who was the mother-in-law of Xi Changning in her previous life.This person has always said half a sentence and kept it in his stomach. He is thoughtful and cunning.At the beginning, Xi Changning did not suffer less from serving her parents-in-law under her command. It was nothing more than unwarranted charges. Xi Changning’s father-in-law is also a person who only cares about the affairs of the country and ignores the love of his children. He also ignores Xi Changning’s grievances at home. Right as if I didn't see it.

"The two younger sisters are really good at talking. Raising them in the deep boudoir has sweetened your mouths." The eldest lady also took advantage of these flattery words and accepted them one by one.

"Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Yan, Hanxue is being polite." Xi Hanxue bowed her eyebrows respectfully.

"Hanxue is getting more and more beautiful, I am afraid that the hearts of all the young masters in the capital will fly here." Mrs. Yan's words were sweet, but she never asked why she was called here today.She is well aware of Da Furen's character, if it's all right, she wouldn't be bothered to exchange greetings with them.

"Madam Xie Yan praised."

After Xi Hanxue thanked her, she stepped back and stood behind the eldest lady, waiting for the eldest lady to speak.

"Actually, I don't have anything to do with you today, and I'm afraid I won't be familiar if I don't talk to you for a long time. Mr. Yan's family is not young anymore, is he married?" The eldest lady asked inadvertently while drinking the hot tea in her hand.

Madam Yan heard something in Da Furen's words, when did her family Yan Xiufeng let Da Furen worry so much?
"No. Xiufeng was young, and my master never thought about it." Mrs. Yan was afraid that the eldest lady would mess up the mandarin ducks, so she had to move out the old general in the family.

"You're still young. Mr. Yan is in the wind when you go home, and the girl in my family likes it very much."

Da Furen didn't give Madam Yan any chance to refuse, she just said that she was her own girl, at least she was a lady of the Prime Minister's House, and it was more than enough to match the son of a reckless man.Furthermore, if Xi Changning is married, she can get out of the prime minister's mansion when she is old enough, and no one will stir up trouble and disturb Xi Hanxue's ascension to the throne of the princess.

Madam Yan saw that Madam Yan did not refuse, she was thinking in her heart, if it was Xi Hanxue, the eldest daughter of the Xi family, it would be fine, she was also Madam's darling, if it was just a concubine, their Yan residence was a general's residence after all, although their official position was not as high as that of the prime minister, but There is no need for a concubine to make do.After all, Xi Hanxue has a good reputation and has status in the Xi Mansion. It is also a good thing for the two families to marry in the future.Thinking of this, Madam Yan let the words go aside in her stomach.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is a high court, how can my family's repair style be so high?"

"Mrs. Yan is really out of touch. Just now when she came into the room and said about her sisters, now that she wants to kiss you more, you really flinched."

Mrs. Jiang had heard about Da Furen's plan from Jiang Miao'er a long time ago, and thinking of being able to make fun of the Jiang family that Xi Changning had made in the palace before, she was naturally happy to help.
