Chapter 18

Since she was going to enter the Hou's mansion, she was her aunt, so there was absolutely no reason for her to wear bright red.This is disrespect to Hui An's mother, Shen Qing!It seems that Du Meike didn't pay much attention to the Hou Mansion because of her father who was a second-rank official. She used this attire to frighten the servants in the mansion, and told everyone that she was going to become the mistress of the Hou Mansion sooner or later. of.

However, she was warm and caring towards Hui'an, at least there was no trace of hypocrisy on her face, even her eyes were kind and benevolent.If it is not sincere, then this Du Meike is really difficult to deal with, plus she has such ambitions, the girl is afraid that she will not be an opponent.

On the contrary, Sun Xinci was still young, and she showed clues on her face after nothing happened.It's okay to be jealous of the girl when she sees a good thing and say a few sour words, so she shouldn't bother to be on guard.

The girls thought about it, glanced at each other and had a score in their hearts, and surrounded Hui'an into the hall.

Hui'an entered the room, but saw two women standing in the east of the hall, each with a girl of seven or eight years old.It was Sun Xixiang's two housemates, Panzhi and Yinlian, and their two daughters, Xiaofei and Xiaomei.

Tongfang can't be regarded as the master of the mansion, that is, a slightly more decent slave, and the children born by Tongfang are not as good as the genealogy, and they can't be regarded as the master.If many housemates have children and are not raised as aunts, then their children will not be recognized by the master. Such bloodlines may not be as good as slaves in the mansion.

Although Shen Qing did not agree to carry Panzhi and Yinlian to his aunt when he was alive, he did not treat them poorly.They also allocated a yard specially for each of them to bring their own children. They were also assigned two second-class maids, two third-class maids, and a few rough envoys to take care of them.

In the previous life, Hui'an never paid attention to these two couples of his father, but his mother had seen them before she was alive. Later, after Du Meike came into the mansion, she almost exclusively favored the inner house and suppressed Sun Xixiang's other women, so Hui'an couldn't see them even more.

In the previous life, Sun Xinci coaxed and accompanied her, and Hui An never paid attention to Xiaofei and Xiaomei. She had no impression of these two younger sisters who had the same blood in their bodies.

Seeing them now, Huian couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look.

Today Panzhi is wearing a blue lotus-colored tunic, a cardamom-trimmed lantern skirt with purple borders, and a pair of emerald green embroidered shoes.There are two red gold crested hairpins on her head, and a ruby ​​bracelet on her hand.Although not the best attire, it is decent.With rosy cheeks, expressive eyebrows, and enchanting figure, she is a lively beauty.When she saw Hui'an coming in, she looked up quickly, then lowered her head again.

Yinlian was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a single bun on her arm, only a jasper hairpin on her head, a moon white jacket, and a light green skirt.Seemingly cramped, she kept standing with lowered eyebrows, Hui'an could only see her smooth forehead after looking for a long time.

The two little girls looked very timid, they both curled up in their respective mother's arms, bowed their heads and remained motionless.

There were two nanmu chairs at the front of the hall. Sun Xixiang sat down on the chairs, but Hui An was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, she began to observe Du Meke. She wanted to see where Du Meke would choose to sit. If she really dared to sit next to Sun Xixiang If you want to humiliate yourself, don't blame her for being rude!

Du Meike really wanted to sit on the right seat next to Sun Xixiang, but after all she knew her identity, Sun Xixiang was not in charge of the Marquis Mansion, so although she was unwilling, she still smiled and sat on the first chair on the east side. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the position next to Sun Xixiang, and a dark light of determination flashed in his eyes.

Sooner or later, she would sit there side by side with him, become the mistress of this mansion, and accept the awe-inspiring eyes of the people!

Seeing Du Meike sitting down, Hui'an felt a little disappointed, she turned around and sat down on the first chair to the west, and the maid had already served tea.

"Anniang, this time your Aunt Ke spent a lot of money and specially customized a set of objects as a gift for you in Cuimingxuan. You will definitely like it when you see it. Meike, hurry up and show it to Anniang. Don't play tricks anymore." Sun Xixiang said with a smile on his face, trying to smooth things over for Du Meike.

"Xixiang." Du Meike rolled her eyes at Sun Xixiang reproachfully when she heard the words, with all kinds of amorous feelings, "I don't know if Niang An can take a fancy to his things, it's just a little extra money, it's not a rare item, Not worth anything."

While Du Meke was talking, she showed a confident smile on her face, and waved her hand to the maid wearing a blue jacket standing behind her, "Pin Ju."

Pinju hurriedly took out a rectangular red lacquer box carved with pear blossom wood and carved auspicious clouds, and walked towards Hui'an.

Hui'an stared at the box in a daze, as if she had returned to her previous life all of a sudden.Because she has seen this box before!
In her previous life, Du Meike gave her such a box when she entered the mansion, and the items contained in the box really cost a lot of money.She liked it very much at the time, and even though she wore it on her body, she almost never left her body until she got married.Also because of this gift, she respected Du Meike even more, and felt that she was really good to herself.

But now thinking about all the things in the previous life, Hui'an really understood that Du Meike gave her a gift with good intentions, and she admired this woman's scheming.

Pinju respectfully presented the box to Hui'an, and Hui'an accepted it with a smile, and slowly opened the box.

really!

Lying quietly in the box is an exquisite steel nine-section whip. The whip body is shining in the sun, and the sharp head of the whip exudes a chilling metallic luster, which dazzles the eyes. It is currently the most refined technology forging.

The nine knots between the whip handle and the whip head are connected by three red gold rings. The middle ring ring is carved with exquisite plum blossom dark patterns. South Sea Shark Fragrance Pearl the size of a rice grain, although this kind of pearl is not big, it is always rare. It comes from the deep sea and is famous for its natural fragrance, which is very popular among nobles.

A shark pearl the size of a mung bean can be sold for more than 1000 taels of silver, which is still priceless.Many nobles in Beijing like to wear such a pearl on their jade pendants, which is elegant and noble.

Although the pearls on this whip are small, what is rare is that they are uniform in color and equal in size, and the pearls on the handle are very beautiful.The breeze was blowing, and Hui'an could already smell the faint fragrance.
