Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 161 Evil Words (Seeking Pink)

When the staple food—fresh vegetable spring pancakes is served at the end, the green cucumbers, shallots, spinach, and lettuce are all shredded or segmented, and served with fried meat sauce. .A long time ago, the little girls stretched out their white fingers and nimbly took some of each, wrapped them in round pancakes, and handed them to everyone's mouths, took a bite, it was refreshing and delicious, it was a rare enjoyment in the world.Although everyone was concerned about the image, they still couldn't help but ate three or four of them. At the end, they sneaked a few glances with some unsatisfactory eyes. There was still half of the plate of fresh vegetables left. They wished they could take it home and hide it. It's good to eat well in the house.

Because Mu Ai was a vegetarian, there were not many dishes on the table, so he ate a few chopsticks of spinach, and that was all.Mrs. Wei Er was concerned and asked, but she prevaricated by using the excuse of eating too much at noon, but instead she thanked her a little bit, because Tao'er's body is much stronger than before, of course Mu Ai refused to thank her, so she turned around Talk to her about interesting things like children reading and practicing calligraphy.

Because Mu Ai is considered to be the half-master of the Xiao family, sitting next to the two wives of the Wei family, Chen Feng, who is the wife of the Fu Yin, was naturally squeezed into the next place, which made her even more angry.At this time, listening to the excitement of the two people talking, I inserted a few words from time to time in a strange way.Mu Ai and Mrs. Wei Er had a very tacit understanding and thought she couldn't hear her, and no one paid any attention to her.Chen Fengshi wanted to get angry. It was rare for her husband to be degraded. She seldom endured it and sat quietly listening to everyone talking and laughing. Laugh at her, so, even more like sitting on pins and needles.Turning around, she signaled the close servant girl to come forward, and told her to go to the main courtyard to find out when the banquet will be over, so that she can go back to the mansion early.

After Liniang took care of everyone eating and drinking, she led everyone back to the flower hall to drink tea and snacks, and then let the maids serve some snacks such as dried pork and melon seeds. Everyone talked about market rumors or interesting stories about their own children, It's also lively and harmonious.

At this time, Chen Fengshi's personal servant girl ran back with an excited face, and whispered a few words in her mistress' ear.The more Chen Fengshi listened, the weirder his expression became, and he would glance at Liniang from time to time.

Everyone in the room is familiar with each other, and of course they all know that Chen Fengshi can't see anyone with a better temperament than her. At this moment, their master and servant are acting so small, who would not guess that she is going to pick a thorn again?However, these have nothing to do with their own family, and there is a lot of fun to watch, so of course they will not jump out to object.

The two wives of the Wei family looked at each other, wanting to find an excuse to get rid of Chen Fengshi's "curse" first, but they couldn't find an excuse for a while, and in the midst of a dilemma, Chen Fengshi had already said, "Oh, Mrs. Xiao, we I want to congratulate you."

"Congratulations? Oh, our lord is truly overjoyed to be crowned heir by His Majesty's blue eyes. Thank you Mrs. Chen for coming to congratulate me." Liniang didn't know what she was going to say, so she had to answer briefly.

Chen Fengshi waved the handkerchief with a nonchalant smile, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Xiao misunderstood, that's not what I said. Just now I sent a girl to handle an errand, and she accidentally heard that someone sent Boss Xiao A small concubine, isn’t this a great joy? Adding that Boss Xiao’s appointment as the heir is more joy than joy. If you bring them in in the past few days, we may come to drink a bowl of new moon wine next year. up!"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room looked a little unhappy. They are all the main wives of the mistresses of the various mansions. There are not many concubines in the courtyard of any family that upset them. It is difficult to have a few days of comfort and happiness throughout the year. I hate these activities of sending concubines and handmaids the most.Besides, after so many years of friendship, Liniang shared weal and woe with Xiao Heng, and they all saw it. They all saw it in their eyes. He was not sure if it was a concubine sent by his master, and he felt a little guilty, so he fell silent for a while.

Under such an atmosphere and thoughts, the schadenfreude on Chen Feng's face was a bit glaring.

A person who speaks sharply and straightforwardly on weekdays opened the mouth first, "If you want me to tell you, it is a good thing to add people, and this is a good sign for the prosperity of the family business. Master Xiao is now the son of the prince, so of course he needs to add a few people to take care of him." , is also the demeanor of a noble family. Unlike those small families, not to mention adding concubines and servants, maybe one day the house will be full, and there will be no one left."

"That's right, that's right. It's just a servant who serves tea and pours water. He stays when he orders him. If something goes wrong, he sells it. Who doesn't sell ten or eight in a year? Your lowly servant girl." Another lady with a beautiful and gentle face also said, but their words were not gentle at all. First, they satirized that Chen Feng's family fortune was about to decline, and there was no chance of getting someone else. Borrowing slaves and maidservants to secretly scold Chen Fengshi for his lack of wink and eloquence, singing and singing, Chen Fengshi is so angry that his mouth and nose are full of smoke, and he can't refute.

Li Niang just heard Xiao Heng taking a concubine, it was like a thunderbolt on the top of her head, she was stunned, her heart was full of grievances and resentment, like knocking over a seasoning box, all kinds of flavors were mixed, and she didn't feel relieved for a long time Come.

At this time, everyone spoke, half to comfort and half to enlighten, she also slowly calmed down, her face was no longer so pale, and she secretly warned herself not to mess up, not to let others read the joke, forced a smile, and said "Yes, I also feel that the mansion is too deserted on weekdays, and it's tiring to run the house alone. I have long been looking forward to adding a younger sister to help share the housework. It's so lively to drink tea and gossip occasionally." After finishing speaking, he waved to the back Gently, he ordered, "Go to the front and ask, which family the master wants to accept, and tomorrow I will also prepare a generous gift and send it to express my gratitude."

Qingrou responded, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Mu Ai's voice, "Girl Qingrou, tell your master for me, if he wants to pick up his little sister-in-law in the mansion, he must pick someone with a good temper." If there is another one who is as stupid and impolite as last time, my younger sister will never dare to come to the door again."

Liniang knew that Mu Ai was using Meifeng's incident to remind Xiao Heng not to let someone who didn't know the details enter the mansion. Of course, it was an indirect expression of disapproval of his taking a concubine and rejecting it on her behalf. She was grateful in her heart, His face became more relaxed, and he said with a smile, "You are just a small-minded person who cares about you, and you still remember what happened many years ago. If there is a sister-in-law in this mansion, whoever dares to bully you, your elder brother will not dare to bully you." Not the one who made a girl angry because of a handmaid. Qingrou girl, go, just ask whose family the girl is and come back!"

Qingrou understood, respectfully responded and hurried down.

Chen Fengshi let out a contemptuous "hum" sound from her nose, and said in a strange way, "Yo, this is new, when will the righteous sister be able to meddle in the affairs of the righteous brother's room." Her words were vicious, almost It was short of saying clearly that Xiao Heng and Mu Ai, brothers and sisters, were having an affair.

Everyone in the room has heard that Xiao Heng and his wife love their righteous sister, and today they have seen Mu Ai's decent appearance, gentle disposition, and unusually close relationship with Liniang, how could they believe her nonsense, they all thought about her Li Niang's character is too low, just after beating Liniang, she started to provoke right and wrong again, and she despised her even more in her heart.Besides, now that Chen Gan has been demoted, I am afraid there is no room for turning around in the future, but Xiao Heng seems to be in full swing here. Who would tolerate perfunctory with her like in the past? Immediately, those who drink tea, those who eat snacks, and those who chat Things, everyone said their own words, all when her words were empty.

However, others can pretend that these words are not heard, but Liniang has to defend Mu Ai silently, and she can't let her righteous sister be viciously framed just because she helped her get ahead.She beckoned to the servant girl to refill hot tea for everyone, and then said with a smile, "Don't talk about acting like a baby and taking care of my brother and sister-in-law, it's just that there are many business shops under the name of our Xiao family. If she says 'manage', our husband and wife will also Throw it to her without saying a word. Let's not talk about the fame and status of Xiankelou today because of her. It is our only son, Cheng'er, who sent someone to deliver the elixir overnight in the wind and snow, and was able to retrieve it. One life. Now he is being educated in her mansion, eats the dishes cooked by her own hands every day, and has her own writing to enlighten him. In the future, no matter whether he inherits the throne, does business or becomes an official, he will be treated like a parent and child. Take care of my righteous sister forever."

Everyone originally thought that Mu Ai had such a high status in Xiao's residence, and thought that Xiao Heng and his wife had made friends with her because of the win-win relationship, but they didn't expect that she would show such great kindness to Xiao's residence.

"Well, what Liniang said is right. If people don't know how to repay their kindness, they are not as good as animals. The fairy girl is a smart, kind and good woman, and we Tao'er will treat her as filial as a mother in the future." Wei Wei The old lady also interjected at this time, and everyone had forgotten the gossip because of the honey, but when they heard what Liniang and the old lady said, they immediately remembered it.It turned out that the children of Xiao's and Wei's families had their lives saved because of Mrs. Xian, and now the children are also being educated in Mrs. Xian's mansion, no wonder the four members of Wei's family treated her so courteously and closely.

At the moment, everyone looked like Mu Ai with a trace of respect and flattery in their eyes. The respect is because of her deep relationship with Xiao Wei's Second House, and the flattery is because the family doesn't have many children. If you get to know such a strange person, you will be happy in the future. Just in case something happens, there is a door for help.

So, everyone started to praise Mu Ai for her good medical skills and kind heart, etc. Mu Ai couldn't tell the truth that she didn't know medical skills, so she had to respond with a smile. Mysterious and profound.

Chen Fengshi saw that not only did he fail to sow discord, but instead he made Mu Ai the target of everyone's fawning, he hated it even more, as if he was being burned on fire, and the handkerchief in his hand was twisted badly.For a while, he scolded the servant girl for the hot tea on the table, and for a while, he thought the snacks were not good.Liniang didn't come forward to say hello, and the rest of the people also drank tea and kneaded melon seeds, watching her toss around like a monkey.
