Mrs. General is a little sweet

Chapter 10 Destroying People and Reputation
"Master, this is Princess Zhennan. The post I sent today sets the appointment date on the eighth day of the next lunar month and the wedding on the twentieth." Mrs. Xu handed the post to Mr. Xu who was drinking tea, "I'm looking for someone It’s a good deal, and the horoscope is good, but will this be too anxious?”

Xu Xiangye took the post and put it on the table without opening it, "Then let's make it so. It is His Majesty's intention to get married as soon as possible. Lingnan needs Qin Zhan to sit in charge."

"I just think of my Yao'er, who will go to Lingnan with her husband after getting married. I can't see each other for a long time. My heart feels like a needle is being pricked."

When Mrs. Xu thought that it would be difficult to see her daughter in the future, she felt very wronged and uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Yao'er is so smart that nothing will happen." Seeing his wife's mood was so low, Xu Xiangye couldn't help feeling a little distressed, so he held her hand tightly and comforted her.

"Other people marry their daughters happily, but here we are..."

"Don't talk nonsense, marrying a daughter is a joyful thing, remember it, and you must send your daughter out happily."

Xu Xiangye is very aware of his own status, if these words are heard by others, they will not keep them in front of His Majesty, read him a book, and say that he is disrespectful.

"Well, I understand, master." Mrs. Xu shook Master Xu's hand and replied affirmatively.

Mr. Xu nodded, helped his wife and walked towards the bed, "Rest early, there are still many things to be busy after today!"

The next morning.

Xu Yunyao looked at the box presented by Princess Shengyang yesterday, inside was a pair of white jade earrings, crystal clear, so beautiful.

"Miss, do you want to wear this pair of earrings?" Ying'er saw her lady staring at the earrings for a long time, wondering if she wanted to wear this pair of earrings?
"No, just put it away and use it later." Xu Yunyao smiled softly, closed the lid, and casually pointed to another pair of earrings on the table, "Just wear this."

"Okay, anyway, our lady looks so good-looking, she can look good wearing either." Ying'er picked up the pair of earrings that Xu Yunyao pointed at, gently fiddled with the hair around her ears, and put the earrings on.

"Let's put on makeup quickly, and today we have to go to Zhucui Pavilion to customize a wedding hair crown!"

When she returned to her room yesterday, Mrs. Xu told her that she was going to Zhucui Pavilion to order some jewelry today, so she got up early this morning.

The craftsmanship of Zhucui Pavilion is the best in the capital, and the patterns produced by his family are also very popular with the wives and ladies of various families. Even the very picky Concubine Shu is full of praise. If you want to order something at his house, you have to be at least half a month in advance. As for the reservation, if you make a late reservation, you don't know when you will be scheduled.

The Zhucui Pavilion's buddy is the most shrewd. When he saw the Xu family's carriage coming from afar, he immediately waited at the door. When he saw Mrs. Xu got off the carriage, he immediately greeted him, "Mrs. Xu is here, please come in quickly." , what do you want to buy today?"

"I'm here this time to order a batch of jewelry, please come over here." Mrs. Xu responded with a smile on her face, and followed Xiaosi into the shop.

"The lady will go upstairs to the private room with this girl, and I will go invite the shopkeeper for you." Xiaosi pointed to the girl beside him and bowed to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu nodded to him and led a group of people, followed the maids upstairs. The chairs in this private room were all cushioned, and the incense was also high-quality, which made people smell very comfortable.

"Sit down with the ladies, tea and snacks will come later." The girl who led the way said and bowed to the lady, then walked forward and opened a booklet on the table, "Madam can take a look first, this is the store There are some tricks that are more popular with distinguished guests, if you like it, you can tell the servants, and the servants will marry you samples."

Mrs. Xu took the brochure and handed it to Xu Yunyao who was beside her, "Look, Yaoer, if you like anything, let her pick it up and have a look."

"Well, thank you, mother." Xu Yunyao took the brochure that Mrs. Xu handed over. There are indeed many tricks in it, and Xu Yunsheng is also helping as a reference.

When the girl saw it, she took two more booklets from the cabinet beside her and handed them to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, one copy for each of them. At this moment, Xiao Si, who had just sent a message, came back with a well-dressed A woman and a few Stoudemire serving tea and snacks.

"Mrs. Xu, I'm really sorry that my shopkeeper can't get out for the time being." Xiaosi said, taking the teapot from the handmaid, and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Xu, "but don't worry, Madam, this is Miss Ruan. She is the best painter in the shop, you can tell her directly what kind of jewelry you want."

The status of the Xu family in Shangjing is not low, and the shopkeeper didn't come over in person, which means that the status of the nobles he serves is not lower than that of the Xu family, but Mrs. Xu doesn't care too much, as long as she can make satisfactory jewelry.

"No problem, then I will talk to Miss Ruan."

"Thank you Madam for your compassion, the little one will step down first." Xiao Si also knew that Mrs. Xu was not a contestant, so he dared to bring the painter over.

"I don't know what kind of jewelry Madam would like to order, you can talk to my servant." Miss Ruan took the lead in talking to Madam Xu.

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Yunyao beside her, and then said to Miss Ruan: "I am here this time to customize a wedding hair crown and other jewelry for my second daughter, and we need to hurry up to make them."

"Madam, if you have any favorite styles, or have any special requirements, you can ask, and I can draw drawings according to your preferences." When Miss Ruan heard that she wanted to customize things for the wedding, she naturally said Be cautious.

"What does Yao'er like?"

Listening to Mrs. Xu's question, Xu Yunyao really didn't know what to use for a while, "My daughter really can't remember it for a while, why don't you let Miss Ruan draw a picture first."

"You girl, I don't know what style you like, so let your mother tell you what to say."

"Why don't we do this? Here are some sketches I made in my spare time. Why don't Miss and Madam take a look at them first? If you like them, let's modify them?" Miss Ruan saw that Xu Yunyao was undecided, so she took out the sketches she had prepared. some styles.

"Okay, let's take a look first."

Mrs. Xu also agreed with this method. A group of people picked it for a long time, and finally made a decision after modifying it. After paying the deposit, they picked out a few more things before going downstairs.

"Have you heard? A few days ago, someone saw the young lady of the Xu family and the Shizi hugging each other in the northern suburbs. It's really embarrassing!" A lady who was choosing materials was talking with the people around her.

"Who did you listen to? This is a matter related to women's reputation, so don't talk nonsense." The woman next to her put down the material in her hands, and this kind of thing can't just talk nonsense.

The woman who spoke before also put down the material in her hand, leaned closer to her, and said in a low voice: "I also heard people say that the eldest son of Prince Ji's family and a group of people are opposite them. I saw it with my own eyes. .”

"This issue······"

The conversation between these two women was clearly heard by the Xu family and his party who were going downstairs. Xu Yunsheng held Xu Yunyao's hand tightly, and Xu Yunyao held her hand, signaling her not to talk too much.

Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at her daughter and saw that she was normal. She thought that these people usually just use her daughter's marriage as a topic of conversation, but now they dare to spread any kind of rumors.

Although Mrs. Xu was angry, it was not easy to explode. If she confronted her face-to-face, she might have something else to say. She could only feel sullen and took her daughter back to the mansion.

Zhennan Palace.

"Grandpa, something happened."

Qin Zhan, who was practicing guns, yelled loudly when he saw the three tigers far away, and immediately put away the guns, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, sat on the stone bench, and wiped the sweat off his body.

"What happened, what are you doing so loudly?"

"Master, you don't know something. Today a brother went to the street with his wife. He heard someone say that in the northern suburbs that day, the second miss of the Xu family threw himself into your arms. The two of them are very close." Sanhu anxiously said He said it all out.

When Qin Zhan heard that the hand holding the handkerchief was tightly clenched into a fist, he did not see anyone else that day, but if the news spread, it would really be bad for Xu Yunyao's reputation.

"Can you find out who sent the news?"

"I found out, it's the eldest son of Prince Ji's mansion, who said he saw it when he was playing with his friends that day." Sanhu naturally found out everything, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately sent someone to investigate.

Qin Zhan thought to himself that he was really careless. This matter really cannot be ignored. If it was reported by others, it would take a lot of work, but since it was reported by this person, it would be much easier to handle.

"Sanhu, let your subordinates spread the news about the rejection of the eldest son of Prince Ji's mansion for Miss Xu Jiasan, and then tell the story about him being bullied and beaten by me when he was a child, and then tell him that he is angry. If you have a strong heart, spread the word about his bad character, and the matter will be resolved naturally."

"This...all these things have nothing to do with this matter, how did it get resolved?" Sanhu was puzzled by his words. Compared with the current matter, these insignificant matters are really It's not a big deal, how can we suppress it?

"If you are told to go, go, and spread the word as soon as possible, go quickly."

Seeing that Qin Zhan was so sure, Sanhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately found someone to spread the word. Qin Zhan asked him to spread the word immediately, because he was afraid that these words would reach the Xu family, and Xu Yunyao might be punished for it.

······
"Second sister, what do you think about this matter? If daddy finds out, then we..."

Xu Yunyao and the others came out this time and prepared two carriages, Xu Yunsheng and Xu Yunyao sisters made one, and Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Young took one.

Seeing that Xu Yunsheng was so panicked, Xu Yunyao comforted her, "Third sister, please remember, we went out to play that day with Princess Qin's family, and we have never met Qin Shizi, so no matter who asks, we will answer like this, remember it. "

"But what if daddy asks?" Xu Yunsheng didn't know if he wanted to keep this matter from his father, what if his father asked him?

"Same reply, remember that all of this is nothing more than someone else's nonsense." Xu Yunyao knew that if this matter got out, it would be bad for anyone, not only herself, but even the third younger sister who was never engaged would be implicated.

"Sheng'er knows, she will never tell. We haven't met the Shizi." Xu Yunsheng has always listened to Xu Yunyao's words the most, no matter what she says, she will obey.

As soon as Mrs. Xu and his party arrived home, they saw Mr. Xu sitting at home, and Aunt Wang was waiting on him. When Mrs. Xu saw her master, she was very angry when she remembered what happened just now, "Master, you don't know that there are people on this street. It is not proper for my family Yaoer and Qin Shizi to hug each other, what is it called, dare to say any nonsense, my daughter of the Xu family will slander if she wants to."

"Ma'am, what is there to be angry about?" Seeing his wife was so angry, Xu Xiangye immediately handed her the tea in his hand, "This is the nonsense of the prince of Ji Wang's family. This person is jealous and extremely stingy. Presumably it must be because he rejected his family's proposal to marry Sheng'er, a nonsense made up, and the common people know that this is his own nonsense, just to slander my daughter."

"Huh? So it was said by this bastard, but the common people are sensible and don't believe this kind of nonsense." Mrs. Xu was relieved after hearing what Xiangye Xu said, and this matter will not cause any disturbance.

Seeing that her father didn't blame her, and didn't take the matter to heart, Xu Yunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with Xu Yunyao, she was much calmer, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this, but the eldest son of Prince Ji's mansion Lord, I do too many stupid things on weekdays, but now I tell the truth, but people still don't believe me.

Zhennan Palace.

"My lord, you are really amazing. I just let people say the words like this, but the wind direction has changed. They are not all scolding the son of Lord Ji's family. On the contrary, few people believe it. Instead of harming people, it caused a lot of trouble.” Sanhu reciprocated the results of this incident with a look of excitement, and did not expect it to be so successful.

"It's what he deserves. It's called shooting himself in the foot. It's normal for him to be so unbearable in parallel. Now no one believes it."

Qin Zhan predicted that this prince Ji's conduct is not good, and he will make people feel normal if he does anything. That's why he asked Sanhu to release all the news, hoping that Xu Yunyao would not be implicated by this.

"My lord, there is one more thing. The Xu family sent someone to send a message, saying that the date of the big wedding has been agreed, so let's start preparing."

"It's the best, so I can return to Lingnan earlier."

Qin Zhan was very concerned about the affairs of the army. He was afraid that the Turkic people would say that he was no longer in the army and that the cavalry would attack him. Although this possibility was unlikely, it was still necessary to be on the safe side.

In addition to military affairs, he is naturally very concerned about Mo Ziyuan, not to mention the news from the front that she heard that she was about to get married and lost control several times. You can start your journey back to Lingnan immediately.
