Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 60 Jade Bracelet
Ming concubine's voice was hoarse, tears were about to come out, Xi'er was on the sidelines, she was stunned for a while, afraid of revealing her truth, she didn't dare to raise her head with her head down.

The girl's ability to lie is really high. If she didn't know what was going on, she would have thought that there was really a mezzanine in the brocade box, and that the Prince of Zhennan had indeed given her a pair of purple jade bracelets.

The old lady's face was gloomy. This kind of thing that is not sure whether it is a real gift or a wrong gift cannot be kept. The fourth lady over there said, "This is really strange. I haven't heard of a maid with dirty hands and feet in the mansion. , besides, there are not many maids who can enter the inner room to serve, if it is really a maid, they will not be able to leave the mansion at this moment, send someone to check and find out."

Su Shi hurriedly ordered, "Come here, search all the Hanyu Gardens one by one!"

After giving the order, seeing that Concubine Ming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Su comforted her and said, "Don't worry, you can't lose things."

Ming concubine bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Soon, Mother Zhou came in and said, "Ma'am, I sent someone to search, but I didn't find the purple jade bracelet."

Su's brows tightened, and the fourth wife said, "Have you searched anyone who has entered Concubine Ming's house?"

Mother Zhou thought for a while and said, "I have searched all the maids in Hanyuyuan, but Grandma Sangu took the maids to find the ointment. I don't know if you have seen the purple jade bracelet."

She didn't dare to suspect that it was Wei Mingrou, she could only tell the truth.

In the past, when the girl had something good, the third girl liked it and would ask for it directly. The girl was stupid and didn't have much interest in those jewelry. Although Zhou's mother couldn't see it, she couldn't say anything. They were sisters, so she said no. It's like sowing dissension, besides, the eldest girl is like this, and she will point to the third girl to take care of her in the future, but now it's different, the third girl is married, and the girl has regained her clarity, how can she still be indistinguishable from each other as before?
In fact, not only Zhou's mother, but also the fourth wife had suspected Wei Mingrou for a long time. It was a coincidence that she didn't lose it sooner or later, but she went to Hanyuyuan to look for ointment, and she lost it, saying that she didn't take it, no one I will believe it, but Wei Mingrou is now the fourth prince's concubine with a noble status. If it is rumored that she stole the elder sister's purple jade bracelet, her reputation will be ruined. This is the matter of the long house, and things are still in the hands of the long house's people, she is happy to watch the fun.

Ming concubine didn't say it was Wei Mingrou, she was just anxious, "Mother, I can't find the purple jade bracelet, what should my daughter do, it's fine if the purple jade bracelet was given to me by the son of Prince Zhennan, what if I make a mistake?" , send someone to ask my daughter, what will my daughter give him back?"

Mrs. Su patted Ming Concubine's back to comfort her, and the old lady over there said, "No, even if the delivery is wrong, the Zhennan Palace will not send someone to ask for it."

The dignified Zhennan Prince's Mansion could not afford to give away a pair of purple jade bracelets, even if they gave ten wrong pairs, Zhennan's Palace would only recognize them.

The Fourth Wife smiled and said, "Not now, but it's hard to guarantee that after the concubine gets married, the prince of Zhennan won't ask about it, and I saw the brocade box. It should have been used to hold jewelry. I can't guarantee that it belongs to the princess of Zhennan. Hidden in the mezzanine, in case Princess Zhennan likes it and exchange it with a pair of more precious jade bracelets and Ming concubine in the future, what will Ming concubine do then?"

When Ming concubine heard this, she became more impatient than before, Su Shi said, "Okay, okay, mother sent someone to ask your third younger sister."

Su took a look at Pearl, and Pearl was about to withdraw, Ming concubine added, "Third sister took away several bottles of ointment from me, remember to get them back for me."

Pearl nodded and went down.

Mrs. Su pulled Ming concubine to sit down, and the second wife over there fixed her eyes and asked, "I heard from the fourth concubine that you have a box of medical books and a box of medicinal materials in your study, including stone mills and so on."

This is what the old lady wanted to ask. Everyone in the room looked at Ming concubine, but Ming concubine said angrily, "Don't mention the medicinal materials to me! I finally begged my cousin to send me a box of medicinal materials, and I haven't used them yet." , the third younger sister and the servant girl were looking for ointment, and they scattered my medicinal materials all over the floor, destroying them all! She is worried about Concubine Sun Gui, can she just come into my Han Ou garden and search for it, and I didn’t promise to give it to her, no Ask if she doesn't even understand the reason that self-taking is regarded as stealing, I will go to the palace tomorrow, and go through her things carefully to see if she is angry!"

These words are a bit angry, Wei Mingrou is the fourth prince's concubine, she lives in the palace, and the guards are strict, even if she wants to turn over, she can't get in.

After hearing this, Su said, "Rou'er has become more and more unruly."

The second wife smiled and said, "She is also anxious about Concubine Sun Gui. Only in this way can people like her more. The Hou Mansion is her natal family, so she should try her best to help her. Ming concubine's choice to marry the son of Prince Zhennan has already annoyed Concubine Sun Gui , Ming Rou is also eager to win back Concubine Sun Gui's heart, but Ming Concubine, where did she get so many ointments?"

Ming concubine didn't speak, Xi'er said, "Your maidservant and girl fell off the cliff and climbed up with great difficulty, but they were injured all over. Fortunately, we met a quack doctor who rescued us. The girl gave him the tiara on his head as a consultation fee. The doctor couldn't find it, and the girl thought his medicine was good, so she asked him which ones she might use in the future, and the doctor picked a few for the girl, and gave them to the girl of Dongninghou Mansion before, and the girl was afraid that she would need them in the future, so she let the servants keep them. a little bit."

No one doubted Xi'er's words. Wei Mingrou found the ointment, and Wei Mingyi opened it curiously. The black ointment smelled bad. It was the ugliest medicine they had ever seen. The medicine given by the imperial doctors, There is a faint fragrance, and I feel comfortable when I smell it.

Now I finally understand why the ointment is so unsightly. It turned out to be the medicine of quack doctors. Isn’t the dog skin plaster the same color? Thanks to Miss Shen who dared to use it, and the wife of Duke Ning’s mansion who dared to recommend it to Concubine Sun Gui.

Ming concubine sat down and said, "Before my grandmother was seriously ill, the imperial physicians and doctors read a lot, but it was ineffective. The Su family has a lot of books, and there are many medical books. The third cousin and cousin Su Li went through the medical books by themselves and found Fang Zi asked the imperial doctor, and I also helped, after seeing it, he was interested in medical books, and asked his cousin to find me more books, and my cousin gave me a box."

Those big boxes were brought back from Su's house, and the old lady knew that, she thought that Su's family loved her concubine and gave them a lot of good things, but she never thought that they were books and medicinal materials.

Ming concubine said, "Now that the medicinal materials are all destroyed, let the third sister pay me a box!"

Su Shi replied, "Okay, don't be angry anymore, what kind of medicinal materials do you want, Niang Ming'er will have someone buy them for you, run around outside, go back and rest."

Ming concubine shook her head, "I'll wait for Pearl to come back."

She was sitting in Changhui Courtyard, she knew that Pearl could not bring back the purple jade bracelet, what she wanted was for everyone to know how anxious she was.

After waiting, it was time for dinner, Ming concubine accompanied the old lady to eat at Changhui Courtyard, she was in a bad mood, she put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating half a bowl of rice.

Outside, the servant girl came in and said, "Pearl is back."
