The wicked girl

Chapter 276
Seventh Madam's face changed when she heard the words, she subconsciously looked at Ye Kui, but she couldn't help being slightly startled when she saw her calm face.

The third lady's behavior is blatantly despising Ye Kui, despising her, and completely ignoring her.All of you here are aware of Ye Kui's status in the Ye family, lost her biological mother, lived in the countryside for many years, and lived under her stepmother after she came back, her life is definitely not as good as those of the other boudoir ladies.The third lady took it for granted that Ye Kui had no knowledge at all, how could she afford a nephrite pillow, it was still a whole piece of nephrite!
But who knows, Ye Kui's life is completely different from what they think.

She is living in the countryside, and she is begging for a living under the hands of her stepmother, He Shi.But what she has and what she holds in her hands will never be less than those, or even more.The money in her hand has been saved for a long time, but she has saved a lot.A nephrite pillow is not that rare.

These noble ladies in Fengcheng thought it was expensive, but they didn't know that if this thing arrived in Shanjing County, it would be nothing more than that.To say that nephrite is so rare is just a way of thinking by local officials.Rare things are more expensive, even if they are all over the room, they can only say that this thing is extremely rare.

Only in this way, the emperor will be willing to invest money in them.

However, Ye Kui is not interested in explaining such things to the third lady in detail.She just drank her tea indifferently, and asked back: "Sister-in-law San said that I am young, so she might not be able to tell the difference, but sister-in-law San is much older than me, so she must be able to tell the difference very clearly?"

The third lady didn't expect her to say this suddenly, so she couldn't help but be speechless.

"Of course I can tell the difference!" When she regained her senses, she immediately said forcefully.

Ye Kui smiled when she heard it, but she was not annoyed, and asked innocently: "Since that's the case, why don't you let my sister-in-law talk about it for me? It's also good for me to learn more."

If only the two of them were present at this time, the third lady would definitely walk away and ignore Ye Kui.But at this moment, not only the seventh daughter-in-law with whom she has always been at odds is there, but also the second wife who she has never been willing to show weakness to, plus there is also the eighth wife, even if she bites the bullet at this moment, she can only do it. I can rush up.

Knowing that Ye Kui wanted to see her joke, she couldn't say she didn't know.The third lady couldn't help being annoyed in her heart, angry that Ye Kui was so ignorant, she was not willing to give in at all, she was used to pretending!
But she quickly looked at everyone, only to see that there was a sneering smile on the corner of Madam Seven's mouth, while Madam Second and Madam Eight were smiling and frowning, and immediately got upset, and opened their mouths and said: "Your child , Even if I say it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to understand it.”

Ye Kui still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law three, you and I are of the same generation."

No matter what age, they are sisters-in-law!The third lady said that her children belonged to the same family, which is really embarrassing.

Sure enough, after the third lady heard this, her complexion became a little ugly, she coughed lightly and said: "I didn't mean that, I just said that you are still young, the ninth brother and sister, I'm afraid it will be hard to understand for a while."

"Really?" Before Ye Kui could speak, the Seventh Madam beside her couldn't help but choke on the ignorant Third Madam, "Since the Ninth Brother and Sister are too young to understand, why don't you, Third Sister-in-law?" Tell me about it? I’m also an ignorant person, and I don’t know what is nephrite jade and what is ordinary jade. Sister-in-law San, tell me quickly, so that I can open my eyes.”

The third lady's face became more and more ugly, she knew that the seventh daughter-in-law was difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that the seventh daughter-in-law and the ninth daughter-in-law would collude together in this short period of time!These two people deliberately wanted to make her face today!The third lady couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have used such a strong tongue. Instead, she had gotten herself into a predicament.

She has never seen nephrite jade a few times before, so there is no reason why it came!

This time it's going to be embarrassing!

She was heartbroken, and snorted coldly: "Seventh brother and sister said this, the nephrite jade is called nephrite, of course it is soft! Ordinary jade is of course hard!"

As soon as the words fell, the Seventh Madam burst out laughing with a "puchi", shaking her head with a mocking expression.

The third wife was annoyed, and she broke out, "Old Seventh Wife, what are you laughing at! Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Mrs. Seven laughed loudly, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I want to laugh, it's that it's so funny, I can't help it!" She smiled, laughing out of the corners of her eyes. Tears came, wiped them gently with a handkerchief, and said to the third wife, "How can I be wise when I am still the third sister-in-law? It turned out to be a fake! This nephrite is called nephrite because it is soft. Ouch, my third sister-in-law, what does this soft jade look like? I see, the thing you are talking about is not nephrite jade at all, but..."

She deliberately dragged on for a long time and stopped talking.

Ye Kui smiled innocently, "Could it be cotton?"

"Puchi", Seventh Madam laughed again, and gave Ye Kui a complimenting look.

This time it was good, the third lady was completely annoyed, she slapped the chair and said: "Then tell me, this nephrite is not soft, can it still be hard?"

Ye Kui couldn't help laughing along with Madam Seven.In fact, there is nothing wrong with what the third lady said. Although nephrite is not soft in the true sense, it does give people a feeling of softness when touched by people, and it is very easy to carve, so it is named Named in nephrite.But Mrs. Seven deliberately wanted to pick on Mrs. Third and embarrass her. Of course, Ye Kui would not speak for Mrs. Third.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a piece of nephrite, you two are not young anymore, why are you acting like a child?" The second lady who had been silent all this time said suddenly.

Ye Kui's heart moved, what the second lady said seemed to be talking about the third lady and the seventh lady, but in fact it was just talking about her.And her first sentence was not just a piece of nephrite, it can be seen that what she gave to Luo Shi was belittled inside and outside the words.

It sounded like he was in the Circus, but he actually wanted the face of Fallen Leaf Kwai.

All the people present were fine people, none of them could understand the meaning of her words.Seventh Madam's complexion immediately turned ugly.

At this time, the Eighth Madam Luo Shi suddenly said: "It's all my fault. I didn't say anything about nephrite pillows, which caused the two sisters-in-law to argue." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to the maidservant behind her: "Pearl, Go and take out the nephrite pillow that the nine younger siblings gave you."

The third lady praised after hearing the words: "That's right! Take out that pillow, let's take a look at what I said just now, but there is no mistake in what I said!"

The maid named Zhu'er went away in response, and came out with a box in her arms after a while.

The third lady couldn't bear it, she wanted to stretch her neck to look at it but she thought it was so ugly, she felt a little restless.

Fortunately, as soon as Zhu'er put the box down, Luo Shi smiled and said: "This is the nephrite pillow sent by the nine younger siblings. It is rare and exquisite, and it looks very pleasing."

It's fine if she doesn't boast, but the third lady sneered secretly when she praised.

Isn't it just a broken pillow, so she praised and praised, thanked and thanked, but she also sent a lot of fresh materials, why didn't she mention it!Thinking in her heart, she also disliked Luo Shi a lot.

Zhu'er at the side listened to Luo Shi's words, and began to carefully open the plum blossom lock on the box, and then took out a pillow as white as snow from it with both hands, and put it on the table, which had been spread long ago. superior.

All of a sudden, the pillow became more and more white as snow and as clean as frost.

Just looking closely, the white seems to be mixed with traces of blue threads, like human meridians.

It was the first time for the third lady to see such a large piece of nephrite, and she couldn't help but secretly amazed.The biggest piece she had seen in the past was only the size of a jade pendant. She had never seen such a piece before, and she was a little dazed at the moment.

Ye Kui noticed her face and couldn't help laughing.

The temperament of the third lady is a bit too superficial, no wonder she has not been able to snatch the second lady for so many years.It can be seen that the reason for this is not only because of her frailty.

"Hey, there doesn't seem to be such a weird silk thread in the nephrite I've seen before. Is there any difference?" Seventh Madam pointed to the pillow on the table and asked doubtfully.

Luo Shi shook his head and said: "I am also an ignorant person, I don't understand anything."

"People in Shanjing County say that nephrite is alive, and those thread-like things are its meridians." Ye Kui continued, "Nephrite is buried deep in the mountains, and the mining process is extremely difficult, so it is very fragile. It is precisely because of this that the nephrite jade transported to Fengcheng and circulated in the market are mostly small pieces."

"Alive?" Madam Seven exclaimed.

Ye Kui smiled and said, "Of course it can't be a living thing, but we just listen to what they say."

Luo Shi said: "I only know that nephrite is warm in winter and cool in summer, I never thought that there are so many sayings in it."

"Hmph, what's not alive, you're just talking about it." The third lady was displeased, she got up and walked towards the nephrite pillow, "Lady Seventh Wife, you should come and feel it, this jade is not soft!"

Madame Seven would not listen to her, she just sat there without moving.

The third lady stood still by the table, stretched out her hand to touch a pillow, she was astonished, there seemed to be nothing in her hand, it was so soft, it really was a good thing!
She pretended to be calm, and while withdrawing her hand, she said to Mrs. Seven: "Why don't you come?" The slightly rounded corner at one end of the jade pillow suddenly pulled the whole pillow to the ground while withdrawing his hand.

With a crisp "kuang", the small and exquisite nephrite pillow shattered to the ground.

Luo Shi yelled "Ah", stood up while supporting his stomach, with a face full of weeping.

Everyone in the room was shocked.

The third lady panicked and wanted to explain urgently.

This nephrite is extremely light, she didn't know it usually, and when the maid took it out, she looked like she was holding something extremely heavy in her hand, how could she have imagined that it was so light that it would be brought to the ground by the sleeves!
