Lady Zhao

Chapter 27

"Mother." "Old Madam." Everyone in the room stood up and saluted one after another, and those who did something wrong were even more listless now.

Mother Yang helped the old lady to sit on the main seat, and the servant girl made tea, but the old lady didn't even lift her eyelids, instead, she glanced at everyone in the room one by one, and snorted, "Everyone is so good! , what happened to me was to hide it from me first, and really think that my old lady is deaf and blind when she is old!"

"Mother calm down, that's not what we mean." Mrs. Xipinghou hurriedly said, fearing that the old man would be angry.

Mrs. Ye was startled, many of the old lady's anger was aimed at her, so she hurriedly said, "It's my daughter-in-law who violated the rules, please punish her."

The old lady didn't see the sound, glanced around, and finally fell on the youngest daughter, who shrank back, not daring to look at each other.As soon as the fight between Brother Rui and Brother Yue came out, someone came to report it, without missing a single word, very clearly.

Before coming here, I went to take a look at the two young ones. Brother Rui's blue and red looks are much more serious than Brother Yue's, and he doesn't cry or hurt when he is injured. He even told her that Brother Yue still owes Zhao Wenwan. An apology broke the old lady's heart.

"It's wrong for Brother Rui to act first, but there is also Brother Yue who speaks rudely first, and Brother Rui did this to protect his sister. Since he said he wants to discipline her, let me do it myself." The old lady spoke emptily. Glancing at Ye Shi later, seeing Xia Shi's lips twitching from the corner of his vision, he didn't say anything in the end, and was a little satisfied. "Brother Yue was shocked when he fell into the water, he should be punished until he recovers."

"The two children are still young, so it's understandable to fight. You, Mrs. Lin and Aunt Dingguo, would fight well. Each of you went to the Buddhist hall for three days, copied the scriptures thirty times, and calmed down. "

The old lady made a fair decision, and the others naturally said nothing. Madam Lin and Aunt Xia accepted the punishment, but they both held grudges against each other in their hearts.

Even if this matter has been revealed, Zhao Wenwan, who was lying on the gun, was the last to know about it. After learning about it, he went to Mingxu Garden and brought Rui Geer two big boxes of delicious food. During the 'punishment period', Rui Ge'er grew fatter and fatter.

When it came to the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Mrs. Ye ordered someone to make Qiaoguo for the Qixi Festival in the kitchen early in the morning, and asked Amber to go to the storeroom to pick a square table with black lacquer teeth and plum patterns for worship. A plate with blue and white seawater patterns was chosen to hold the sacrifices, and a small three-legged tripod with cloisonné enamel and gold was used to burn incense.

Under the eaves, you can see big bowls filled with clear water everywhere, which were used for begging for skillful throwing needles at noon yesterday.A bowl of water was exposed in the atrium, and a small embroidery needle was thrown into it. Because of the density, most of them would float on the water.Then observe the shadow of the needle in the water, if it scatter like a flower, or move like a cloud, or form an object that is ingenious, it is considered "begging for cleverness".

Different from the joyful reaction in the mansion, Zhao Wenwan in Xiangzhu Garden had quite a headache. He didn't need to look at her to know that she was the most unlucky one, but she couldn't hide. Thinking of those people watching the fun, Zhao Wenwan didn't want to go out even more.

When Xueyan came back from the old lady, she took a small square wooden box with red lacquer and gold, Zhao Wenwan was startled when she opened it, it turned out to be a spider with a web.

"Xizi's net is densely woven, and there are many coincidences this year." Baochan congratulated with a smile as she watched from the side.The spider is commonly known as Xizi, and it is used to predict whether a girl will be ingenious in the future and to what extent.

Surprised, Zhao Wenwan closed the box and reluctantly responded, "Hehe..." Finally, under the surprised eyes of the two, he took a small lock and locked it firmly, and threw it into the corner in disgust.

Xueyan and Baochan were taken aback for a moment, understanding.

Brother Rui rushed in at this moment, holding something high in his hand like a tender lotus root, and went straight to Zhao Wenwan, shaking the things in his hand in front of Zhao Wenwan's eyes twice as if offering a treasure , Grinning a mouthful of small white teeth, "Here you are."

Zhao Wenwan looked at the black spider in front of him, and he froze for a long time. Rui Geer thought she was moved, and said generously, "My sister got two, I'm afraid you don't have one, so I caught one. you are welcome!"

"..." Zhao Wenwan was 'moved' to tears, and Baochan moved back two steps and hid in the corner, unable to hold back a low chuckle.

Still Xueyan couldn't bear it, and quickly took an empty box to put away the spider, "Brother Rui is really caring, did you use Chaofan, here is some refreshment, can you eat some more?"

The child's attention was quickly diverted, and Diandian followed Xueyan to lie down on the table, obviously liking Zhao Wenwan's unique snacks.

Zhao Wenwan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the two boxes lined up in the corner, she still felt scalp numbness, the natural fear of such things cannot be changed, and looking at Rui Ge'er again, she was annoyed and funny, this Was the little guy sent by Zhao Wenxuan to torment her?

After a while, another visitor came to Xiangzhu Garden, not Zhao Wenxuan who had lost a happy son, but He Jingyuan who was in awe. Waiting in the hall, waiting for the maid to report.

Zhao Wenwan was also surprised. Since the Dingxiang incident, her dislike for this person has almost become apparent. Unexpectedly, this person has become more frustrated and courageous. There are rumors in the house.At the beginning, she did have the idea of ​​playing tricks. Who told this person to only look at the surface, but the effect was so good... it made people feel a little overwhelmed?

"Why is my cousin looking for me?"

He Jingyuan looked at her cold face, getting used to it, and the smile on Mai Sejun's face did not diminish, "Today is Qiqiao Festival, Chang'an Street is the most lively at night, and there is a lantern show. I want to invite my cousin to play together, okay?"

Zhao Wenwan's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he looked a little more inquisitively at him. Didn't this man hear the rumors about the two of them in the mansion, so he went out to play at this time...

At this moment, He Jingyuan was also worried. He asked his mother how to make amends if he offended the girl, and his mother gave the above suggestions. Taking advantage of the Qiqiao Festival, he bought some things that the girl loved with fun, and everything was gone.

"Okay." After a short silence on both sides, Zhao Wenwan suddenly responded.

He Jingyuan, who originally thought that the other party would not agree, was stunned for a moment, and then raised a bright smile, "Well, then I will pick you up then."

Zhao Wenwan nodded, watched him leave, turned around and gave Shang Xueyan a slightly ambiguous look, and coughed a little uncomfortably, "I just don't want to attend the dinner in the house."

The latter nodded clearly, but Zhao Wenwan obviously didn't believe it.

Rui Ge'er rolled out full of food, tiptoed to look outside, just now Baochan stopped him from coming out, now he is even more curious about who came.

Zhao Wenwan grabbed Xiaobai Tuanzi, and went to Mingxu Garden to say hello early for his absence at night, but when he went, he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people. A group of female relatives were sitting next to the old lady, and they were talking about begging for a fortune thing.

"Miss Wan came just in time. Mistress Xue said that you and Mistress Xuan's needles are floating, but one is like a lotus flower and the other is like a dog's tail flower." The old lady joked deliberately when she saw someone coming in.

Zhao Wenwan didn't blush, and pointed to the deer as a horse, "Mine is obviously an impatiens flower, the sun is bright, my sister saw it wrong."

Everyone made her cheeky choke, so the old lady laughed happily and invited someone to sit beside her. "I don't know you. It would be nice to have a dog's tail flower." After that, he got closer and whispered to Zhao Wenwan, "It's not easy to pass at night."

It is not an easy task to put a needle through the moon. Zhao Wenwan is the old lady's caring little padded jacket. The old lady knows her well. She has a quick temper and is arrogant. Naturally, she doesn't like to be laughed at by others. Come out, the old lady is no different.

"Cousin Jingyuan invited me to watch the lanterns together. I have already accepted, and I came here to tell my grandmother." Zhao Wenwan said with a smile.

Zhao Wenxuan was sitting on the lower right side of Mrs. Ye, with Zhao Wenxue on the side. She had been looking forward to seeing Zhao Wenwan make a fool of herself today. Now that she heard that she was going out with He Jingyuan, she couldn't sit still and pretended to be quite Interjected with interest, "Grandma, I want to see it too!"

"I liked these the most when I was a girl, and it was my eldest brother who took us to play. It's been so many years. I heard from Hongsheng that this year's event is even more grand than usual. I'm relieved to have your cousin Jingyuan take it with us." .” The old lady said with nostalgia on her face.

Although Mrs. Lin was also a little surprised that her nephew would invite Zhao Wenwan to go out, it can be seen that the old lady agreed, so she had nothing to say. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Wenxuan's envy and hatred, and the more she hated the concubine daughter of Aunt Xia. Taking a closer look, he thought about the rumors in the mansion for the past two days, and deliberately said, "Jingyuan is good to girl Wan, and she doesn't take anyone with so many sisters and sisters. This heart is obviously biased!"

"Grandma..." Zhao Wenxuan was blocked by those words, and still wanted to beg her.

Zhao Wenwan looked at her coolly, wanting to be an embarrassment, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she said provocatively, "Cousin Jingyuan didn't invite you, I thought we were all going together."

"It's busy today, and there are many people on the street. Cousin Jingyuan is also afraid that he won't be able to take care of the people." Zhao Wenwan didn't want to follow Mrs. Lin's wishes, so she said instead.
