Concubine's true colors

Chapter 66 Prosperity
As soon as Mrs. Qian finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao fell silent, and the servants around her all cast strange glances at Xiao Jinxuan, and those who were far away even whispered to each other.

"Look, Xiaoyun, that is Miss Jinyu's younger sister, but the old lady doesn't seem to like her."

"Keep your voice down, she's a concubine, and she was assigned to be our Miss Jinyu's younger sister. I heard that when she was born, she killed many people in her family. Her fate is very hard. Anyone who gets close to her will be in bad luck."

"Oh, if this is the case, we will have to stay away from her in the future, and whoever wants to take care of her will be in bad luck."

Although the voices of these discussions were extremely small, they couldn't bear the many people talking, so they were still clearly heard by the people present.

Qian Shi glanced back, her eyes flashed with pride, and she frowned and opened her mouth when the discussion gradually died down.

"What does it look like to be noisy, Furong, go and carry up the things that Mrs. Ben prepared in advance."

After she finished speaking, the maid who was following her nodded in agreement, then suppressed a smile, turned around and ran back.

While everyone was waiting in disbelief, Fu Rong, Qian's close maid, led two servants back, and these two servants joined forces to hold a clumsy large charcoal basin, which was full of burning coals. The burning heat can be felt from a long distance, and the heat waves are coming.

Seeing this, Zhou Xianrui frowned slightly, but the next moment, his demeanor returned to his usual composure, and there was no sign of any abnormality.

In fact, he knew that Qian's battle was nothing more than making things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan. It was not that he couldn't help, but he could help once, but he might not be able to help each time.

And only Xiao Jinxuan herself can let these people know that she is not easy to bully, and that she can live a good life in this handsome mansion.

So this first level, no matter what, the other party has to go through it by himself, let alone with him by his side, if there is a mistake, he is also confident that he can protect the other party.

And the reason why he is so calm is mainly because he believes in his heart that Xiao Jinxuan can definitely handle it, just relying on her scheming, where she needs her own help, why not just stand aside and watch the play quietly Come on fun.

And Xiao Jinxuan did not disappoint Zhou Xianrui, seeing her looking at the red charcoal basin without a trace of panic.

On the contrary, she looked at Qian Shi with a slight smile, and asked softly, "Third Aunt, I don't know what you mean. Could it be that you want to stop Jinxuan and not allow me to enter the door?"

When Qian heard this, she smiled coquettishly again, then stretched out her hand, and patted Xiao Jinxuan's shoulder affectionately.

"You girl, you are talking nonsense, how can Third Aunt be willing to wrong you, but you are unlucky after all, stepping over the brazier before entering the door, it's all bad luck, the old lady is getting old, it's not good if you really collide, Jinxuan won't think The third aunt is deliberately making things difficult for you."

Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart, this Qian family really knows how to be a human being, she clearly wanted to embarrass her, but she used the old lady as a shield, if she didn't follow through, it would be unfilial, if she did, I'm afraid she would be reduced to a The laughing stock of the entire capital.

Because the size of the charcoal basin in front of me is huge, I am afraid that if a grown man wants to step over it, he will have to spend some effort, not to mention the charcoal is burning red. At that time, this person will be in a big loss, and there may even be an accident that hurts his body.

If it was in Yangzhou, if someone made things difficult for her, Xiao Jinxuan would definitely not give in.

But now this is Changping, she is new here, she is not suitable for being too sharp, if she wants to avoid Qian's troubles, she must win by cleverness.

Then Xiao Jinxuan thought about it for a while, and then smiled.

"What the third aunt said was true, but Jinxuan couldn't figure out where the word ominous came from. I heard that the Holy Majesty said in the hall that his niece was a lucky star of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could it become a disaster star when it comes to you?" Is this my aunt's misremembering, or does she really think that I am unknown, and my niece is dull, so I asked my third aunt to explain it to me."

Qian's smile froze for an instant, and then her face turned pale, because Xiao Jinxuan performed extremely well during the snowstorm, and Zhou Xianrui praised her in the letter. Zhou Fuxing, who can solve natural disasters and human suffering.

But everyone knows that Emperor Ming said these words casually, Qian Shi did not expect that Xiao Jinxuan would use these words to block her mouth now.

You must know that she just said that the other party is a disaster star, but Emperor Ming said that the other party is a lucky star. If she doesn't change her words, it will be against the emperor's will. How can she bear it.

So she coughed twice in embarrassment, and Qian hurriedly said, "Look, Auntie made a mistake. Jinxuan is not a disaster, but a blessing."

After Qian's words, she was very depressed. What's the difference between this and slapping herself in the face? Originally, she wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan, but now she was forced by the other party to change her words. No matter how you look at this confrontation, Qian's is at a loss downwind.

So when he saw Qian's, his eyes flashed fiercely, and then he smiled even brighter.

"Although Jinxuan said so, but you have traveled far away for many days, and you stepped over the brazier before entering the door. It is also for auspiciousness, and to avoid disasters and evil spirits. After all, your grandmother is old, and you can't see those dirty things at all."

After she finished speaking, she didn't want to give Xiao Jinxuan a chance to speak, and hurriedly told Fu Rong who was beside her: "Don't make the charcoal more prosperous, Fourth Miss is about to step into the basin."

After getting the order, Fu Rong immediately opened the pot that she had been holding in her hand for a long time, then tilted the pot, and poured the contents into the charcoal basin.

The originally red charcoal, when it came into contact with the liquid in the tank, immediately "bang", a large cloud of fire mist was ignited, and then I saw the originally red charcoal, and now it was a three-inch high flame coming.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao on the side was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Third brother and sister, what are you doing? There is an open fire in this charcoal basin, how can you get over this?"

But Qian Shi just chuckled, and then explained earnestly.

"It's only when the flames are burning. If Jinxuan has enough filial piety to the old lady, she can still be troubled by this kind of fire. Furong, please listen to me. The fire in this charcoal basin must not be extinguished, and the lamp oil must not be extinguished." On the contrary, this fire is burning so vigorously, it would be unlucky if it goes out."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and went straight to the front of the charcoal basin, and looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and with the pride and hatred in her eyes, she looked at each other undisguised.

After Furong got the order, she immediately ran in front of Xiao Jinxuan, saluted politely, and then gestured to her as a please.

"Miss Si, let's hurry up, the old lady is still waiting, it's not good to be mistaken."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at her, said nothing, just nodded, followed behind her, and walked slowly towards the brazier.

But just when the two of them were one in front of the other, and they were a few steps away from reaching the brazier, a hint of ridicule suddenly flashed in Xiao Jinxuan's calm eyes.

Then she saw her take two quick steps, and then stepped on the corner of Furong's skirt with one foot.

Walking in front, Fu Rong, who didn't notice it at all, was about to pour some lamp oil into the charcoal basin, but the corner of her skirt was stepped on, and she was forced to stop suddenly. Her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell straight forward.

And with half a can of lamp oil in her hand, she also drew a graceful arc, left her hand, and flew out directly.

This accident happened so fast, everyone could only watch helplessly, watching that half of the can of lamp oil fell into the charcoal basin, and the rest was scattered all over the ground.

It’s okay to say that the one that fell on the ground was the most fatal thing was the kerosene that fell into the charcoal basin. The kerosene was sprinkled only after seeing the kerosene, and a ball of fire mist as high as a person rose into the sky after a loud noise. The frightened maidservants all screamed.

But they were far away from each other, at most they were frightened, but they were standing by the charcoal basin, ready to get closer to see Xiao Jinxuan's embarrassing Qian Shi, but they suffered disaster.

When the lamp oil splashed out, she was the closest, and a lot of it was drenched on her sleeves. The fire mist rose into the air, and the sparks splashed in all directions were not so flammable at first, but when they met Qian's Luo who was drenched in lamp oil, When the bee saw the honey, she huffed and surrounded her.

In just a few breaths, Qian's whole body was on fire, she screamed out of fright, and stretched out her hand to slap hard, but it had no effect at all.

The maids and servants around were all stunned and forgot to rescue them for a moment.

At this time Xiao Jinxuan smiled coldly, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Why are you still standing there, quickly take something to extinguish the fire on Auntie's body. Get down and roll on the ground, if it’s too late, it’s too late.”

Everyone was stunned at this meeting, as soon as Xiao Jinxuan's words came out, it seemed like a guiding light, and everyone subconsciously began to follow suit.

And Qian, who was burned by the fire, was so frightened that he was half dead, so he didn't care about who said this, and he immediately lay down on the ground on a conditioned reflex, and followed suit.

This time, let alone make her roll, let her slap herself hard, as long as the fire can be put out, she can do it without saying a word.

So, in front of the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, a very strange scene appeared, and I saw a noble lady full of pearls and hairpins, lying on the ground covered in fire, rolling endlessly like a spinning top.

More than a dozen maids were in a panic, jumping up and down around the top on the ground, turning their backs on their backs, taking a few shots and kicking a few times when they found time, it was as lively as it wanted.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Xiao Jinxuan sneered mockingly, trying to make things difficult for her, but didn't weigh whether she had the ability.

Regardless of how embarrassed the other party is now, Xiao Jinxuan doesn't feel that she has done too much. If she hadn't responded quickly and really stepped over the burning charcoal basin, she would probably become her who was covered in fire.

Since the other party wants to use their brains to embarrass her, why should she bear it? Naturally, she will make a move when it is time to do so, without any hesitation.

Zhou Xianrui, who was already in the theater-watching mentality, looked at the frenzied scene in front of him, and the smile in his eyes became stronger.

Turning his head to look, he still stood there quietly, as if none of this had anything to do with her, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at him, he smiled helplessly, and shook his head.

The other party's revenge is really fast and ruthless. Such a woman is really loved and feared. Who knows if he annoys the other party one day, the next unlucky one will be himself.

And Mrs. Zhao, who had just recovered from the shock, looked at Mrs. Qian's current appearance, couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief, covered her mouth, and laughed lightly.

This third-bedroom sister-in-law, relying on the old lady's love, never puts her in the eyes of her, how can Zhao not be annoyed, but she is not a scheming person, so taking this Qian is a There is no way at all.

She has held back this bad breath for many years, and now that Mrs. Qian is in a mess, she is naturally at ease.

Walking over to hold Xiao Jinxuan, the smile on Zhao's face was unavoidably real.

"My dear niece, let's go in, it's very messy here, let the servants fix it, I'll take you to greet the old lady first."
