Chu Lian frowned, and looked at several noble girls standing not far from him.
what happened
The conflict in the original book did not happen in Mei Pavilion, but in Dingbo Pavilion, and the protagonists of the incident did not have these noble girls, but now why even the princess and princess are eyeing her.
Chu Lian secretly felt a headache, she couldn't even tell the identities of these noble girls, okay...
Because she didn't know the specific identities of the girls in front of her, she could only give them a little blessing.
"Sister Yuanqin, is she the woman who was abandoned by Brother He?"
The slightly older girl standing at the end let out a coquettish smile. This is Zou Yuanqin, the fifth daughter of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, who has just reached the age of Ji, and is one of Princess Le Yao's companions. The sudden voice that Chu Lian heard just now was made by her.
"Princess, you have good eyesight."
Princess Le Yao also wore a dress similar to Chu Lian's color today, and even wore a set of ruby hair masks on her head.
It's just that her dress is exquisite in workmanship, and the fabric is rare. The color of the water-red dress changes gradually from top to bottom. When it reaches the hem, there are many beautiful and complicated dark lines, and it is even decorated with fine gemstones. When the sun shines, it can reflect Let out a little bit of light. It is full of grace and luxury.
On the other hand, Chu Lian's dress similar to hers today is much inferior.
It's just that Chu Lian is delicate and beautiful, with a slender figure, and she is at the best age in her daughter's house. She has a slender figure, but she wears a simple water red dress with a unique charm. How can Princess Le Yao be a ten-year-old girl? The stature can be compared.
The two stand opposite each other, it should be said that each has its own merits. But in terms of skirts and shirts alone, what Chu Lian was wearing was really not enough. The ruby butterfly hairpin on her head looked pretty and pretty at first, but compared with the one on Princess Le Yao's head, she suddenly felt inferior by more than a little bit.
There was a buzzing sound all around, and they began to discuss in low voices, and looked at Chu Lian with disdain.
"It's so shabby!" Princess Le Yao pouted.
As soon as Princess Le Yao said these words, the discussion around Chu Lian suddenly became louder, and those voices that she could ignore originally entered her ears one by one.
"The British government can climb up to Jing'an Bo's house, not because of the name of Chu's daughter Yisheng."
"Have you heard that He Jiasaburo actually left home and left Beijing two days ago?"
"Haha, it's really funny. Without a man, it's useless to fight your stomach."
"No, it's just a shabby householder. It's really embarrassing to come to Dingyuan Hou's mansion dressed like this."
"I'm afraid you don't know, Miss Chu Liu has a bad reputation, I'm afraid He Sanlang detested this bride, and that's why he was forced to leave!"
…
Sister-in-law Rong of the British government went to the West Pavilion (ancient hut) before she came back, and she saw the noise of people outside the Mei Pavilion corridor. She just looked over strangely, and Su, the first daughter-in-law of the big house, walked over quickly and hugged Rong. Sister-in-law's arm, with a pale face, said: "Sister-in-law, Sixth Sister has been bullied."
The eighth lady Yuan from the second room over there also followed, and rolled her eyes in disdain, "I was abandoned by my husband when I was just married, and you dare to come out to embarrass yourself!"
Mrs. Rong's complexion changed, she first gave Sister Yuan a look, and then asked Sister Su, "What's going on?"
He Changdi just left home to go to the north the day before yesterday. Originally, this news was kept secret by the Jing'an House, but he didn't know why it got out.
However, Mrs. Rong who was in the deep house didn't know about it yet, and when she heard Sister Su's words, her face darkened.
"You said Princess Le Yao, Princess Duanjia, and County Princess Anmin are all there?"
"Exactly, from Princess Le Yao's words, it seems that she is quite dissatisfied with Sixth Sister."
Sister Yuan stomped her feet resentfully, "When did this scourge offend the princess! Now it's going to implicate us. She shouldn't have been allowed to marry into the Jing'an Mansion in the first place!"
"Sister Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Rong scolded in a low voice.
After all, this is not the British government. How can Mrs. Rong allow them to talk too much? No matter how unfavored Chu Lian is in the British government, now that she is married, it represents the face of the British government. .
At this time, Chu Lian really wanted to scold He Changdi, "Brother He", when did this guy hook up with the princess! And this princess is not very old at first glance, this... this child is too precocious!
Princess Duanjia stood beside Princess Le Yao. She was more than a head taller than Le Yao, with a cold expression, but she kept staring at Chu Lian.
Wei Fengzi, who was sitting not far away, of course also saw the situation outside the corridor, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, seeing that Chu Lian was standing in the crowd and did not send the maid beside her to ask for help, she was also happy to watch the excitement.
County Lord Anmin cast a disdainful glance at Chu Lian, "I've seen you, Le Yao, let's go."
As soon as the words of the Anmin County Lord came out, several distinguished ladies turned and left at the same time. Twisted, and threw her a contemptuous look. Only then did they catch up with a few clan girls.
The corners of Chu Lian's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the backs of these noble girls, what's wrong? The purpose of this group of people is to mock themselves? This is too childish!
Sister-in-law Rong was about to come over to make a rescue, when she saw Princess Le Yao leaving with someone, she let out a heavy sigh. But before the heartstrings loosened, there was another woman's scream.
"oops!"
Chu Lian only felt that her body was shaken twice, and then something sweet-smelling spilled on her and rolled on the ground.
Looking down with his whole body stiff, he saw Shoutao rolled all over the ground.
The person who bumped into her just now knelt on the ground and began to cry.
Chu Lian's face turned dark immediately.
The noble ladies who hadn't gone far seemed to have been attracted by the commotion in Meige, and they all turned to look over.
The wives and ladies who came around immediately gave way to the eyes of the noble ladies.
Zou Yuanqin glanced over, and finally landed on the longevity peach on the ground. His eyes were about to burst, and he walked over quickly, pointing at Chu Lian, trembling with anger.
"You! You actually ruined the birthday gift my mother gave to my grandfather!"
Birthday gift
Just these "shoddy" birthday peaches
Girl, stop being funny, is it appropriate to dig a hole and push her down so clearly
As soon as Zou Yuanqin said this, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Look at the shape that Mr. De'anlou Wang made! It's so ruined! What a pity!"
The corner of Chu Lian's mouth couldn't help twitching.
This group of half-grown girls not only framed her with a plate of birthday peaches, but also bragged about this plate of "shoddy" birthday peaches so well.
Why is the rank so low...
The birthday peaches on the ground are nothing more than fat white steamed buns with something reddish on them. What kind of top birthday peaches do they seem to be made by someone powerful
Please, stop joking, okay
How did everyone know the crazy complaints in Chu Lian's heart.
Seeing that the crowd was separated again, and a graceful and luxurious woman in her forties walked out, Chu Lian looked up, and the lady's sharp eyes also swept over, and asked in a deep angrily voice: "What's going on here! "
This woman is none other than Mrs. Huang, the wife of the eldest son of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion whom Mrs. Zou brought her to visit before.
That is Zou Yuanqin's mother.
Kneeling and trembling on the ground was a maid in a ginger dress.
She replied tremblingly: "Slave... this servant was carrying the birthday peach to the front yard banquet, but suddenly... was bumped hard by this madam, begging madame to spare my servant, please forgive me!"
Chu Lian: ...
She stood here without moving, how could she bump into someone
But at this time, no one stood up and said a word for her. In the eyes of these noble ladies, her marriage into Uncle Jing'an's mansion was considered high-ranking, but He Changdi's sudden departure a few days after marriage pushed her to the pinnacle of secular vision. , even if she knew that she was wronged this time, no one would speak up for her.
What's more, it's not ordinary people who have to deal with her, but the majestic wife of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, or the most beloved Princess Le Yao at all
Mrs. Rong's steps to go forward also stopped temporarily.
Sister Su opened her mouth slightly in shock, she was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses, she turned her head and said to the sister-in-law beside her: "Sister-in-law, I...we..."
"Don't talk, wait!"
Mrs. Rong flinched a little.
If Princess Le Yao and his party deliberately mocked Chu Lian before, it was the princess and the others who were wrong. It was only natural for her to go up to protect each other. Even if she offended the princess for this, her good reputation of protecting the sisters in the family would spread today. But it's different now, just now she didn't see who bumped into whom, but no matter who bumped into whoever knocked over the birthday gift specially given to the old Dingyuanhou by Mrs. Dingyuanhou, it was Chu Lian's fault .
When she goes up now, she is opposite to Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi and Princess Le Yao. Not only do they not have a good reputation, they will even be filthy and protect their sisters.
Sister-in-law Rong is the wife of a well-known family and the head wife of the British government. The gradual decline of the British government has also worn her into such a temperament of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Sister Su looked anxiously at the crowd, and was about to step up when she was stopped by Mrs. Rong.
Eighth Miss Yuan hid behind Sister-in-law Rong, and the corners of her mouth could not help but raise her lips from an angle where no one could see.
Xiao Bojian stood outside the corridor, tightly holding the vermilion lacquered armrest with his right hand, his eyes fell on the opposite side without blinking.
Zheng Shizi raised the folding fan in his hand to block the light, and said carelessly: "Xiao Xuexiong, something seems to have happened over there, why even the princess is here, it seems that it is very lively."
On the third floor of Qingfeng Pavilion, sandalwood incense is wafting, there is no one going back and forth inside, and it is extremely quiet. Only the window facing the lake was half opened, revealing a slender figure from the half window.
A pair of green eyes fell loosely on the opposite Mei Pavilion on the knife-cut side face.
The man waved his hand lightly, and a figure flashed beside him.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Go to Mei Pavilion, if Chu Liu is really punished, you will save her."
"As ordered."
The figure disappeared again in a flash.
