Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 344

When Ye Qiongdan saw Mrs. Zhou's expression, she knew that this guest was a bit embarrassing.

But since Mrs. Zhou said they don't have to leave, it's not easy for them to leave either.

The maid in the room brought fragrant tea to the two of them. The two of them picked up the teacups, drank the tea unhurriedly, and secretly guessed who it was that made Mrs. Zhou so annoyed.

Mrs. Zhou said to the scholar beside her, "Bring me a veil."

"The veil? Ma'am, why is this..." Shu Xiang was a little surprised.

"You can take it if you tell me." Mrs. Zhou said with a slightly accentuated tone.

"Yes." Shuxiang nodded, went to the closet to find a box of veils, and opened the lid in front of Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at the white veil on the first layer and shook her head.

Shuxiang took out the first layer of boxes, and showed her dozens of light-orange veils placed on the second layer of the box.

Madam Zhou shook her head again.

Shuxiang took out the second layer of boxes and unfolded the third layer of boxes for her.

Madam Zhou still shook her head.

This box has seven layers in total, and it was not until the last layer that Mrs. Zhou pointed to a thick black scarf and said, "That's all."

It was a scorching summer day, wearing such a heavy veil, it was inevitable that she could not breathe well, but Shuxiang knew that she was a person who said nothing, so she didn't persuade her any more.

Shuxiang picked up the veil, walked up to Mrs. Zhou, and hung the veil behind her ears for her.

Mrs. Zhou looked carefully in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction when she saw that the veil had completely covered her face.

After half a cup of tea, a woman who was about forty years old led four maids to Mrs. Zhou's yard, and said imposingly: "My good sister, why are you so leisurely today? I have invited Mrs. Baixiu." Come to sew for you?"

Her voice was a little loud, and she brought a lot of maids, so she came to Mrs. Zhou's yard, which was a bit overwhelming.

Mrs. Zhou seemed to be used to the other party's superior attitude, she said politely and distantly: "The Huo family has a great career, sister, why do you have time to come to Zhou's house to see sister?"

"I didn't intend to come to Zhou's house. Since my sister's face was injured, I have been reluctant to hold a banquet these years. My sister thought to herself that my sister might not like to see guests, because my sister has already booked Bai Xiuniang's place." A set of clothes, I originally thought that I would ask Bai Xiuniang to come to the Huo family courtyard early this morning to tailor the clothes for me, but I never thought that the useless dog slave would be so lazy in doing things. I was invited by my sister to the Zhou Family Courtyard. I thought that I haven’t seen my sister for a long time. Why don’t you come to the Zhou Family Courtyard and ask Bai Xiuniang to measure my size so that she won’t have to go back again and be delayed. Her embroidery skills."

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhou tried her best not to snort.

Long time no see?But I haven't seen you for ten days.

They're not real sisters, they're just handkerchiefs from when they were not out of the cabinet. Doesn't she feel sick when she acts like this every time they meet?

It should be said that there are two great families in Guazhou, one is the Zhou family and the other is the Huo family.

It's just because the Huo family was a big family that moved into Guazhou 100 years ago, so everyone thinks that the status of the Zhou family should be higher than that of the Huo family.

However, if we want to talk about the level of strength, these two big families are indistinguishable, they are equal to each other.

The natal families of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Huo are family friends, they have very close contacts, and there is some relationship between them.

Due to the close relationship between the two families, the two daughters-in-law who are the mistresses will naturally be compared frequently.

When Mrs. Zhou was not out of the cabinet, no matter in terms of appearance, talent or ability, she could firmly surpass Mrs. Huo. I don't know how many talented people in Guazhou wrote poems for her.

Mrs. Huo thought she was not bad, so she couldn't help feeling some grievances like Shengyu and He Shengliang.

Later, the two married into the Zhou family and the Huo family respectively, and gave birth to the eldest sons of the Zhou family and the Huo family successively.

Therefore, the mutual comparison before leaving the cabinet continued after leaving the cabinet.

The Zhou family has a big business, and Mrs. Zhou has no time to discipline her son. Gradually, the eldest son Zhou Yumo has become a playboy who likes to gamble.

He was rebellious at home, and was spoiled by his grandmother so lawlessly that he didn't even have any respect for his biological parents. He was notorious in the whole Guazhou. Everyone used him as a negative example to educate their children, what to do with them learn from him!

Huo Yunsheng, the eldest son of Mrs. Huo's family, is different. He was fostered by his wise grandfather since he was a child. He is proud of him, and thinks that if he becomes the head of the Huo family in the future, he will definitely make the Huo family more prosperous.

Because her son is very good, Mrs. Huo often visits Zhou's house uninvited and praises her son in front of Mrs. Zhou, which makes Mrs. Zhou crumpled the handkerchief every time.

After Mrs. Zhou's face was injured, Mrs. Huo ran more diligently to the Zhou family compound.

Mrs. Zhou didn't want to see her at all, because she knew very well that Mrs. Huo often came to Zhou's compound just to scare her off. When she was unhappy, she was happy.

But what can Mrs. Zhou do?You can't always say that you are not at home, so drive her outside.

What's more, during the holidays, each family will hold a banquet and invite people from other families to participate. Meetings are always inevitable on these occasions.

Mrs. Zhou felt that among the people who made her unhappy in this life, the one who made her most unhappy was Mrs. Huo.

But she had no way to deal with her in the past. Her son failed to live up to expectations, and she really hurt her face. This is the source of the problem.

But I have to say that Ye Qiongdan has become her noble person, not only awakening the dreamer with a single word, so that her son will no longer be drunk and dreaming, but also recently prepared a good medicine for her, so that the scars on her face fell off.

Ten days ago, Mrs. Huo came to Zhou's house to visit her, and she took Mrs. Huo to the study near the study pretending to be unintentional, and let Mrs. Huo hear her son's serious endorsement, and then said with a smile that her son's recent changes since.

I heard that after Mrs. Huo went back, she almost smashed the whole house.After Mrs. Zhou found out, she felt that she had finally let out a bad breath.

However, this is not enough.

Since, she sent her to her door today to get a slap in the face, how could I let her down?
"Hey, who are these two ladies?" Mrs. Huo looked at Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu, and a look of contempt flashed in her eyes, "I seem to have never seen the two of you in the circle of noble girls from aristocratic families, right?" ?”

"These two are the daughters of Commander Xu of Yiling County." Mrs. Zhou explained.

"Commander Xu of Yiling County? Is this a high-ranking official? Can his daughters be invited by you as guests? The gate of Zhou's compound is getting easier and easier to enter, my Huo family can I’m really ashamed,” Mrs. Huo said in a nonchalant manner, and then she gently helped her temples, “Oh, I remembered, I heard that you invited the second lady of the Xu family to treat your face. What's the matter? Is she not good enough? Why are you still wearing such a heavy veil after several days? This is summer, and my sister doesn't think it's stuffy."

"I just catch a cold occasionally, and I'm afraid I'll overwhelm my sister." Mrs. Zhou said with a cold face.

"Really? How can you catch the wind and cold in such a hot day? Sister, I know you always care about saving face, but sometimes you want to save face and suffer, why don't you tell me the truth, sister, I will not spread your words indiscriminately go out."

"I have nothing to say." Mrs. Zhou walked to the table and sat down.

"The second young lady of the Xu family is young. I heard that she used to be a country girl. How could she have the ability to remove scars for you? Don't worry, my sister has always taken care of your affairs. As long as she inquires about a famous doctor passing melon In Zhouzhou, my sister will definitely invite a famous doctor for my sister at all costs. A doctor with a good reputation is always more reliable than a little girl, doesn't my sister say?" Her words were called concern, but they were actually ironic.

How could Mrs. Zhou not understand?

"The Huo family is a big family, and my sister has countless things to do every day. I don't need to worry about such a small matter." Mrs. Zhou said coldly.

"How can you say it's bothering? You and I are like sisters, your business is naturally my business."

Mrs. Zhou thought to herself, why did you only see you taking pleasure in other people's misfortune before, but not seeing you make a difference?Now you are being courteous, how can I not know about your courteousness?It's just a scene!
Mrs. Huo wanted to see how the injury on Mrs. Zhou's face was doing, so she poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhou, and brought the teacup in front of her: "Come, sister, have a cup of tea."

"Sister, I'm wearing a veil, so it's not convenient for me to drink tea," Mrs. Zhou said coldly, "You are a guest, so I don't want to get angry with you."

"You and I are like sisters. I didn't see you acting like this when you caught the cold before. Besides, I'm in good health. How could it be so easy for you to get over my illness?" Mrs. Huo held her hand clapped.

Mrs. Zhou hated her already, and was even more displeased with her intimate contact, so she just held back and didn't frown.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Huo went ahead and said: "My good sister, it is not the second miss of the Xu family who can't do anything about the injury on your face. Are you afraid that I will say that you hired a quack doctor? Sister, as the saying goes, good advice is good for you. Okay, good medicine is good for the disease. Even if I say you, it is for your own good. Besides, why do you need to have a psychological burden in front of me? I have seen your injured face for so many years. Where can it be bad? Come, drink tea."

Mrs. Huo gave the teacup in her hand to her again.

"No, I still won't drink tea." Mrs. Zhou refused forcefully.

When Mrs. Huo heard this, she felt that she must have a guilty conscience. She thought that she was always crushed by her when she was young, so she deliberately pretended not to hold the teacup firmly, and poured hot tea on her veil.

Ye Qiongdan, who was watching from the sidelines, did not expect Mrs. Huo to do this. If the tea splashed the veil, Mrs. Zhou would definitely be scalded.

She quickly reached out her hand and quickly pulled Mrs. Zhou aside.

Fortunately, she pulled it fast enough, and only one corner of Mrs. Zhou's veil was splashed by water.

Mrs. Zhou's face turned livid in shock, she never thought that Mrs. Huo could do such a cruel thing in front of her, it's really heartbreaking!
"Oh, are you okay? It's all my sister's fault. It's my sister who didn't hold the teacup steady for a while. I'll wipe it for you." Mrs. Huo said, and quickly tore off the veil from Mrs. Zhou's face.

After the veil on Mrs. Zhou's face was ripped off, Mrs. Huo stayed on the spot.

She never thought that Mrs. Zhou really found the right doctor this time. The scars on her face have all fallen off, and new pink flesh has grown out, and the color of the surrounding skin does not look much different .

"This, how is this possible?" Mrs. Huo asked in disbelief, "Is this a thick layer of powder?"
