poisonous woman

Chapter 340
There was a lot of excitement in the room, and a doorman came in to announce, "My lord and concubine, the officials are all waiting in the front yard, waiting for New Year's greetings."

The eyebrows she drew this morning were not good, and Rong Zhao asked Mo Yu to redraw her eyebrows again and again. The doorman came to report suddenly, and Mo Yu's hand trembled, and the sharpened eyebrows poked Rong Zhao's eyes.

Rong Zhao cried out in pain.

Xiao Junjue's expression suddenly turned cold, and he slammed Mo Yu far away with one hand, hitting the table, his forehead was scratched by the corner of the table, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Junjue held Rong Zhao's face nervously. Rong Zhao closed his eyes subconsciously. Thanks to this instinct, the eyebrows only scratched the eyelids, not piercing them, just the eyelids. Also red.

Tears flowed down, Rong Zhao didn't cry, just reacted naturally, but Xiao Junjue thought he had touched an eyeball, and shouted: "Call the doctor, pass the doctor."

The room was in chaos, Gu Wu was brought back to his senses by the prince's roar, and was about to run to find a doctor when Rong Zhao stopped him, "I'm fine."

She slowly opened her eyes and stopped crying. When she saw Mo Yu bleeding, she wanted to scold her, but seeing that her injury was not serious, she gave up, "Find her a doctor, she It's more serious."

Xiao Junjue glanced at Mo Yu sullenly, and angrily said, "How do you serve the master?"

The blood on Mo Yu's forehead dripped down from her hands. She got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing continuously, the blood spilled all over the floor.

Seeing popularity on the first day of the new year is not a good sign.Looking at the bad luck, Xiao Junjue felt even more angry.

"Go out and receive the punishment." He shouted.

Mo Yu's eyes were red, and he didn't know what was wrong, if it was in the past, Rong Zhao would have been furious if someone had served him so carelessly, and would have beaten him to death.But maybe now that she has a child, her heart has softened, and she can't see people shedding tears.

"Okay, forget it, she didn't mean it. Today is the first day of the new year. It's not good to be punished on the first day of the new year." Rong Zhao pleaded for her.

Xiao Junjue blew on Rong Zhao's eyelids, and waited until the redness was gone before saying, "For the sake of the princess, I will let you off once today, and if you are so careless next time, you will be punished twice."

And said: "In the future, she is not allowed to serve in front of the princess."

When Mo Yu left the room, hearing this, his back stiffened, and he ran out crying.

Rong Zhao looked in the mirror and was relieved that his face was not disfigured.She looked at Xiao Junjue, he really scared her when he got angry just now, she has never seen Xiao Junjue lose his temper so much that he even moved his hands.

But looking at his nervous look, he wanted to laugh again, and even teased him, "Are you afraid that I'm blind, I won't be able to take it out, and I'll lose face to you King Chu?"

Xiao Junjue stared at her, "Yeah, I'm ready to change my princess."

Rong Zhao beat him, "How dare you!"

A small episode, played between a few jokes, Xiao Junjue's face softened, Rong Zhao's eyebrows were redrawn by Gu Qu.

Rong Zhao wore a bright red phoenix wearing a peony skirt and a small jacket, a beautiful swan bun, two gold step rocks on the left and right, and a few hairpins and gemstones and pearls, which was generous and extravagant.

Xiao Junjue went to the front yard, Rong Zhao had no choice but to go to the Xiansi Hall instead, where there were all the officials' wives waiting.

The ground dragon is burning in the Xiansi hall, which is warm, and the incense cauldron in the middle is burning with incense, and tea, snacks and fruits are placed on each small table.

Several female family members drank tea slowly, but their hearts were full of ups and downs. After waiting for a long time, the princess hadn't arrived yet, and a few of them started muttering.

"I heard that Princess Chu is a powerful character. For so many years, the King of Chu doesn't even have a housemaid around him." A woman with a round waist and a fat face and a happy face was the first to discuss.

She is not the female family member of an official, but is Ni Shi, the eldest wife of Huang Xiaoting, the richest man in Yizhou City, and the beautiful woman sitting next to her is Huang Xiaoting's second wife, Qian Shi.

But even the richest man still has to be inferior in front of officials, and the two of them sat at the back.

The corners of Qian's eyes fluttered across her face, with a look of disdain, he put down the teacup, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "That's Princess Chu's skill, she can tie men down."

She and Mrs. Ni have always been at loggerheads. They are jealous at home, and they fight with each other when they talk outside.

"That doesn't mean there is no shame in jumping up and seducing other people's men." Mrs. Ni didn't even look at Mrs. Qian, but she meant something.

She came to the Prince Chu's mansion with great joy and joy today, but the master asked her to bring Qian Shi here, it must be because Qian Shi was blowing the wind at the master's pillow all night last night, otherwise, there would be no reason for her to sit here as a concubine.

"This man has another woman, and that's because his own woman is incompetent." Qian's voice was very low, and she just said to Ni that she is not a brainless person. If you say something unpleasant, you will offend everyone.

She smirked and looked at Mrs. Ni, "Eldest sister, you must have a good appetite recently. I have lost some weight after looking at this dress. I really envy you. Look at me, I can't gain weight by eating anything."

Mrs. Ni was very angry, she was as thin as a hemp stalk, and dared to ridicule her for being fat!
The person next to him smoothed things over, "It's a good thing to have a good appetite, and it's a blessing to be fat."

The woman sitting in the first place was sitting upright, and said: "When the princess comes later, don't talk nonsense, don't make the princess unhappy."

Just as he was talking, people outside sang that the princess was coming, and everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Rong Zhao Shiran walked in slowly, his phoenix eyes swept lightly, passed everyone, and walked up to the seat.

"There's no need to be too polite, let's all sit down." After sitting down, Rong Zhao looked at them seriously.

The first person on the lower left is a woman about 35 years old. She is well-colored, elegant and elegant, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, which is just right and makes people feel comfortable.

Lonely Bird had introduced to her before that the wife of Yizhou Mengdu Wei Nianci was from a scholarly family, her grandfather Wen Guxin had been a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and drafted edicts for the emperor.His father is also a learned man, and he was Tanhualang in the 12th year of Yonghe.

The marriage between Captain Meng and his wife was rumored for a while. It was said that at that time, his wife's father was sent here as an official, and Captain Meng, who had just become a lieutenant general, went to greet him.Miss Wen, who was sitting in the carriage, was curious, so she rolled up the curtain and looked out. Unexpectedly, the silk handkerchief in her hand flew out of the window as if she had grown feet, and directly hit Captain Meng's face.

The two of them looked at each other for just one glance, it was ten thousand years, and they were right.The elder brother had a love for his younger sister, so Captain Meng Du went to propose marriage the next day, for fear that he would be late and be snatched away by others.

Father Wen sees people as poisonous, and when he first saw Captain Meng, he thought it was good, without even hesitating, he immediately agreed to the marriage.

Fortunately, Ms. Meng is interested, otherwise she would not have to sing a scene about running away from marriage.

When Captain Meng proposed marriage back then, he promised that Miss Meng would be the only one in this life. Even though his father-in-law passed away many years ago, he still kept his promise and remained faithful to his wife.

This kind of story was also compiled into a story by storytellers in the streets and alleys, and it was named "A Loving Man and a Loving Girl".

Rong Zhao also listened to it, and it is considered that he has met the rightful owner today.

Looking at the first seat on the right hand side, there is a woman in her 40s with heavy make-up, wearing a goose-yellow floral skirt and jacket, embroidered with large peony flowers embroidered with gold thread, and the peonies are bright red. She is also coquettish and charming, but Matched on a goose-yellow cloth base, it makes people look awkward.

Not vulgar, not elegant.

To be able to sit in this position, her husband should be one of the top officials in Yizhou now.

Seeing Rong Zhao looking at her, the beautiful woman got up, bent her knees, and said: "My wife is the family of Zhizhou Duan Chong, Bai family."

The case of He Yingming involved a lot of people, those who were involved would be killed if they were close, or dismissed if they were minor, but Zhizhou Duan Chong was lucky enough to remain in his position.

It's not that he wasn't involved, it's just that he replaced all the officials at once, and it's the New Year's Eve. He learned a lesson and gave him a lighter sentence, retaining his official position.

Moreover, Xiao Junjue has also learned a little bit about the officialdom after practicing in Beijing for the past few years. Sometimes, he might as well pretend to be deaf and dumb for a while.

And with this time, Duan Chong also narrowly escaped death, if he is smart, he will restrain himself and dare not repeat the same mistakes.

Furthermore, although Duan Chong is a little greedy, he is a master at judging cases. Xiao Junjue has checked his cases before, and there are very few unjust, false and wrong cases, which is why Xiao Junjue keeps him.

Rong Zhao was not familiar with these official affairs, but he heard that she was a member of Zhizhou's family, so he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

She has met Duan Chong, who is handsome, refined and elegant, and he is in the prime of life of a man, and he has seen about thirty people.But Mrs. Bai looks at least ten years older than him, why would a handsome man marry a vulgar and older woman?Is it a hobby?

Rong Zhao didn't know that although the Bai family looked over forty, they were only thirty.It's just because Duan Chong studied and participated in the imperial examination back then, but his parents were still alive. If he just blindly studied, he would not be able to worship.

Between the dilemma, Mrs. Bai stepped forward, on the one hand to earn money for his education, and on the other hand to support his family.Rural people have nothing to do, nothing more than guarding the crops with their heads turned to the ground and their backs to the sky.

But the one-third of an acre of land can support his study, but not the family's work.

In this way, the Bai family went to the fields during the day and worked at night to support the family.During this period, Duan Chong failed the exam for the first time. You must know that the imperial examination is only once every three years, so I wanted to give up.But Mrs. Bai resolutely let him continue the study. He has endured it for three years, so he is not afraid of suffering another three years.

It took six years to read this book, and the six years of being greedy for the dark and getting up early made a beautiful woman ten years old.

Fortunately, this favor was not Chen Shimei, who didn't abandon his wife and children, and took the exam three years later, and won the first prize in one fell swoop, and took the whole family with him. It was only put here a few years ago.

People from the Bai family are old and rough, and they make a lot of jokes when they get along with officials' wives.If it was another man, maybe he didn't divorce his wife, and he would also throw him at home so that he wouldn't lose face when he went out, or marry a few more.

But this period of doting is one-sided, doting on his wife as before, even if he is prosperous, he does not marry another woman.

Once, when he got drunk with someone, he talked about his wife and said that he owed Mrs. Bai a lifetime to repay.
