Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 172 Marks
Master Xie smiled: "Qiu Niang is right, it should be so, a mere carriage came into the mansion, and it didn't run into the inner courtyard, let alone rampage, Madam is too careful."

He stared at Xie Yanniang lovingly again, and asked: "Did you cause your lord any trouble these days? After a while, when your two sisters go out, I should come to thank you."

Thank you is false, is it true that you want to see Ruan Jingxin to get closer?
Xie Yanniang immediately guessed Master Xie's intentions, she didn't point it out, she neither agreed nor refused, she just asked Xue Ling to present a brocade box: "This is the make-up that my daughter gave to the two older sisters, both adults It’s a gift, my daughter is borrowing flowers to present Buddha.”

Mrs. Xie originally heard Xie Yanniang saying that she wanted to add makeup, and she felt a little disdainful.A country bumpkin, very poor, where can I get anything good?

Later, when I heard that it was given by the Prince Regent, I raised my eyebrows. Is this considered showing off to her face to face?
Mrs. Xie was disdainful, but her movements were not slow, she stretched out her hand to open the brocade box, and after only one glance, she was too stunned to speak.

Mr. Xie is used to the world, and he was taken aback by the gold jewelry in this box, and quickly stroked his beard and smiled: "Since it is a gift from an adult, Qiu Niang can keep it by herself, so many gold jewelry are too much. You don’t need to do all the makeup.”

"This is my daughter's wish, as long as the two elder sisters are happy." Seeing Mrs. Xie's greedy eyes, Xie Yanniang smiled again: "I will leave this box to my mother for safekeeping. My daughter is an unmarried girl. Go to my sister's yard."

Even if she went, neither Xie Ruitong nor Xie Churou would give her any good looks, so why bother to find it boring?

Master Xie nodded with a smile: "Alright, let Madam keep it, and add makeup to Tong'er and Rou'er later."

When he looked at the jewelry in this brocade box, the balance in his heart suddenly shifted towards the Prince Regent.

The Fifteenth Prince is not worried about food and clothing, but he is not as generous as the Regent, which shows that this lord has more money than he imagined.

It's not that Mr. Xie lost the copper coins, but it's much more convenient to do things with a large amount of silver in hand.

As long as the regent has the heart, he might be more blessed than the fifteen princes in the future.

Master Xie said a few more words of concern, and then asked Xie Yanniang to go back to the yard to rest.

Looking back, seeing Mrs. Xie holding the brocade box and not letting go, he frowned and said: "Everything is divided equally, it's not too far behind to add makeup to Tong'er and Rou'er."

Don't think that Mr. Xie doesn't know this woman's temperament, maybe he gave Xie Ruitong all the things in a box.Maybe, I will keep some for myself, Xie Churou is not good at all.

Mrs. Xie's face was a bit embarrassed, obviously Mr. Xie saw that little thought, and said bravely: "What is the master talking about, I will ask people to separate the things and send them to the two yards."

Mr. Xie was a little worried. After all, he kept staring at Mrs. Xie impatiently, turned around and left.

Xuehui raised the curtain and came in, reporting to Mrs. Xie: "Master has gone to Qinglan Garden."

"It's that little hoof again," Mrs. Xie was indignant, seeing Xuehui's eyes flickering, she asked, "Why, do you have a good way to deal with her?"

"Yes, ma'am, please listen to the servant girl." Xuehui thought that she could offer advice to Mrs. Xie, so she must be able to secure the seat of the big maid.

She leaned over and whispered a few words in Mrs. Xie's ear, and the latter clapped her hands and smiled: "Wonderful, really wonderful, I just listen to you."

Mrs. Xie smiled heartily, but her eyes were cold.It's a small gadget, it's okay for Mr. Xie to play with, but this Aunt Zeng's heart is too big, and she always wants to blow the pillow wind and ride on her head.

Mr. Xie was so obsessed with Aunt Zeng, he listened to everything, and now he still wants to grab the power of the family with her, isn't it killing him?
But such a girl with shallow eyelids is not popular after all, and will soon end up no different from Aunt Zhang.

Xie Yanniang went back to the Begonia Garden, Xueyan was almost cleaned up, so someone brought hot soup for her to soak comfortably for a while, and then rested on the soft couch.

After taking a nap for a while and waking up, Xue Ling waited on her to dress, and reported in a low voice: "Girl, madam divided the contents of the brocade box into two, and when she put them in, it happened that Aunt Zeng was going to pay her respects, and she saw them all. I asked a few more questions."

Xie Yanniang squinted her eyes, and said with a sneer, "A box of things can cause a lot of trouble."

Who would have thought that a brocade box would give Mrs. Xie a way to deal with Aunt Zeng?
During the time she left, it seemed that the two of them were at war with each other, and the contradiction had obviously reached the extreme.

Mrs. Xie didn't seem like a jealous person, maybe that Aunt Zeng was not satisfied with the status quo, so she stepped on Mrs. Xie's tail.

This little matter won't make Mr. Xie furious, what if it ruins Xie Churou's marriage?

Moreover, the things passed her hands and were given by Xie Yanniang, so she had to blame herself.

When Xie Churou makes a fuss, Xie Yanniang will be the first to suffer. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Xue Ling thought about it, but she was also worried: "Madam, do you want to tell the master to bring back the jewelry in the brocade box and deliver it to the two girls in person?"

In Mrs. Xie's hands, there are many hidden dangers.

"Don't worry, let them toss around, it doesn't matter to me when you turn around." Xie Yanniang had already paid attention to it, how could Madam Xie succeed?

Seeing that she was confident, Xue Ling stopped talking.

Sure enough, after five or six days of peace, Xie Churou broke out.

She made a fuss, even threatened to die, so Master Xie had no choice but to go over to appease her.

Xie Churou asked the maid to come out with a brocade box, and fell down crying in front of him: "Daddy, this is a makeup gift from the madam. My daughter looked at Huanxi, played with it in her hand, accidentally knocked it a little, and unexpectedly revealed something like this Come!"

Master Xie looked down and saw that the bracelet was a little bit broken, and the thin layer of gold foil on the outside fell off, revealing the silver embryo inside.

This is not a gold bracelet, it is obviously a silver bracelet of extremely poor quality!
He thought that this thing was given to Xie Yanniang by the regent, it couldn't be a deception, if the regent hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he sent someone to send it over, and he didn't know if he was deceived, or Xie Yanniang was full of lies, these are not at all The Regent gave it to her!
Mrs. Xie murmured a few words in her ear, how could the regent send so many valuable things for such a girl.

Maybe it was Xie Yanniang who lived in Hot Spring Zhuangzi, she didn't show the Prince Regent's attention, she was afraid of being looked down upon by others, so she bought a box of fake things to fool people!
Master Xie's hands holding the brocade box trembled a little. Fortunately, Xie Churou accidentally knocked it a little bit, otherwise he would take it to her husband's house to put makeup on the box, and if the gold leaf fell off in the future, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?
He cherished his face the most in his life, and his eyes were gloomy: "Don't worry, Rou'er, Daddy will go and ask, and I must give you an explanation!"

Xie Churou nodded with tears in her eyes, and sneered inwardly.

If it wasn't for her being more thoughtful, she felt that Mrs. Xie would not be able to bring out such a valuable thing to add makeup to herself, so she broke it a little bit cruelly.

Sure enough, there was no gold inside, it was clearly a terrible thing that could be bought for one or two taels of silver.

Now that there is a commotion, what can Madam Xie do?

After Master Xie left, Xie Churou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, with a hearty smile on her lips.

Master Xie raised his foot and asked Mrs. Xie. After all, the things passed her hands and were delivered to Xie Churou. Who knows if she, the aunt, would have thought about changing the things?
Mrs. Xie was crying, complaining that she was wronged, saying that everything was divided in front of the maid, how could it be exchanged.

But Xuehui stepped forward, leaned forward and said: "Go back to the master, the slave girl remembered something. When Madam divided the jewelry, she happened to walk away. Aunt Zeng came to the yard to say hello, and the servant girl brought refreshments. Go back to the yard to get a handkerchief."

In other words, there was no one else in the house except Aunt Zeng.

Mrs. Xie suddenly realized, and said: "When I came back, I exchanged a few words with Aunt Zeng, and I didn't look at the brocade box, so I let Xuehui put it away. The next day, Aunt Zeng said that she wanted to send it to Rou'er herself. , I agreed to this matter without thinking too much.”

Master Xie pondered for a moment, and felt that it would be too obvious if Mrs. Xie moved her hand.

He tentatively ordered someone to go to Qinglan Garden to invite Aunt Zeng here.

When Aunt Zeng heard this, she also cried and complained: "Master Mingjian, no matter how shallow my concubine is, I don't dare to mess with the mistress' things."

She cried so much that it made Mr. Xie feel soft, so he had to ask someone to call Xie Yanniang to confront him.

Mrs. Xie wiped her tears with a handkerchief, she despised this little hoof and even flirted with Mr. Xie when he was crying, it really wasn't a good thing!

Still twisting her waist, she rubbed her whole body into Master Xie's arms.

However, Master Xie liked this very much, and stretched out his arms to hug Nephrite Wenxiang, naturally he believed Aunt Zeng a little bit in his heart.

When Xie Yanniang was invited, she seemed to have expected it a long time ago, her face was expressionless.

Master Xie's face was a little more embarrassed, the dispute between wives and concubines, in the end, it was really helpless to call his daughter over.

He felt hot on his face, he hesitated and didn't know how to speak, he couldn't just say that the things Xie Yanniang sent were fake right from the beginning?
This is not to say in disguise that the things sent by the regent are exchanged for real, it is simply courting death!

Mrs. Xie didn't say a word. Aunt Zeng was almost crying. She was coaxed by Mr. Xie to stop her tears just now, and she looked over pitifully: "The girl sent you all good things, but you will know which one is real and which one is fake. .”

Xue Ling was furious, didn't this mean that the things Xie Yanniang brought back were fake, and Aunt Zeng was framed to blame her for the blame?

On the contrary, Xie Yanniang laughed when she heard it, she didn't look at Aunt Zeng, she looked at Master Xie and said, "Father and mother have seen those things too, since my daughter gave the brocade box to mother, I haven't touched it again, Yes or no?"

Master Xie nodded, and Mrs. Xie reluctantly agreed.

Xie Yanniang took a few steps forward, opened the brocade box, pointed to the gold ornaments inside and said, "There is one thing that Daddy may not have noticed. Everything sent by the Regent King has a mark on the bottom."
