Mrs. Rong shook twice, but luckily she was supported by Sister Su who was standing beside her.
Sister Su's face is also very anxious. Although the sixth younger sister is not living well in the British government, she has a strong personality, but it is extremely unwise to show up at this time.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Sister Su asked with concern in a low voice.
Mrs. Rong pinched her forehead and shook her hand, "I'm fine."
Things have developed to the present, and even the eighth miss, Yuan, has been frightened. Before, if Chu Lian lost face, it would be a big deal to make up for it. After all, she was married and lost face, and she had Mrs. He to discipline her. With such a big commotion all of a sudden, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi was obviously angry. If Chu Lian really doesn't do well, neither the British government nor the Jing'anbo mansion will get any benefit.
Immediately she was a little scared.
Sister Yuan carefully tugged on Sister Rong's sleeve, and begged softly, "Sister-in-law, let's go."
Mrs. Rong looked around twice, actually she wanted to leave too, but seeing Ruoyou Ruowu's glances towards this side,
Sister-in-law Rong froze.
In this situation, how could she get away with it? Although no one said it, how many pairs of eyes were staring at her!
If she leaves now, maybe the next day it will spread the bad reputation of her disregarding her sisters at home.
Sister-in-law Rong immediately regretted it, and then secretly blamed Chu Lian in her heart.
"I don't think the third grandma of Jing'anbo Mansion didn't do it on purpose. For a little girl, one thousand taels is a big sum. If the third grandma can really make better birthday peaches than Mr. Wang, then this string of coral bracelets will be decided by my wife. The child was shocked."
Just as Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi ordered Chu Lian to go to the small kitchen, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as the words fell, everyone stepped aside one after another, and a middle-aged lady in a begonia-colored sixteen-piece skirt was surrounded by people and walked out of the crowd.
In an instant, a small voice of discussion sounded from the side, "Mrs. Yang is here! Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi can't be proud anymore."
Mrs. Yang? Chu Lian opened a pair of clear eyes and looked at the place where everyone's eyes gathered.
The middle-aged woman is tall and slender, dressed luxuriously but not gracefully, her whole body is high-spirited, and the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, Chu Lian is somewhat similar to her.
As she walked, she took off the coral bracelet on her wrist and handed it to the big maid beside her. The maid took two steps and put the bracelet on the silver plate on the stone table outside the corridor. The coral bracelet lightly collides with the silver plate to make a crisp sound.
The string of coral bracelets is uniform in color, and each coral bead is carefully carved, with complex and dark lines faintly visible on it, and there are green jade beads in series between the corals, red and green, one can tell that it is not ordinary.
Chu Lian was startled suddenly, thinking of the plot in the original text.
Mrs. Yang? Moreover, the identity, age and appearance all coincided with the one she guessed. Mrs. Yang Ge! The top figures in the circle of noble ladies in Shengjing City, even Mrs. He would give seven points of face when she saw her.
This dignified lady is actually one of Chu Lian's biggest enemies in the original text...
In the end, he was tortured to death by Chu Lian with cruel methods...
Chu Lian looked at Mrs. Yang curiously.
It never occurred to her that Mrs. Yang, who should be the enemy, would come out to stand by her at this time.
What should it be called? Feng Shui turns
Although Chu Lian didn't want to complicate her life, she didn't simply think that Mrs. Yang stepped in at this time because she wanted to help her.
Sure enough, I heard someone talking next to me.
"Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Shizi didn't deal with each other when they were daughters. Today, when they encountered this matter, it was inevitable that they would confront each other. It's a pity that the third grandma of Jing'anbo Mansion has become a target."
Chu Lian smiled in her heart, she didn't care whether the target was the target or not, no matter what, the string of coral bracelets was indeed quite valuable, that's all, what she lacked the most right now was money!
"Since Sister Yang has made a lot of money, I will also add a part." The person who spoke was a young lady in her twenties behind Mrs. Yang, with a silk green dress and a ruddy complexion. Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
The lady minister of the Ministry of Rites took off a gold hairpin with emerald butterflies on her head and put it on a silver plate.
As soon as she made this move, several ladies who followed Mrs. Yang took out a piece of jewelry they carried with them, including a hollowed-out jade-encrusted gold bracelet, a yellow field jade pendant, and distracting gemstones... seven or eight pieces of high-quality jewelry will replace an ordinary piece of jewelry. The precious light set off by the silver plate flickers.
Immediately, there was a younger lady beside him who was dumbfounded.
What's happening here! Why are these powerful and high-ranking wives fighting.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi saw Mrs. Yang and sharpened her molars. She obviously hated it, but she even pulled a smile on her face, pretending to say: "Mrs. Yang is really generous. Are you Chu Lian can make better birthday peaches than Mr. Wang, but if she can't make it, Mrs. Yang's prize won't be easy to take back, right?"
Mrs. Yang snorted coldly, "Oh? According to Mrs. Shizi, how should I deal with it?"
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi winked at her daughter Zou Yuanqin, then smiled and took off a gold chain on her wrist. There were two rare pink pearls on that gold chain. The pearls were round and clear, not ordinary round. It is in the shape of a drop, which is indeed a rare thing.
Those who were familiar with Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi gasped slightly. This is Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi's beloved bracelet. It is said that it was passed down to her by Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi's grandmother.
After putting the pearl bracelet lightly into the silver tray, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi said slowly: "Since Mrs. Yang wants to get involved today, why don't we do it like this. Let's take these rights as today's lottery. If the third grandma has the ability, then all the jewelry on this plate will belong to her. It can be regarded as my apology for frightening her today. The jewelry you produced will all belong to our side who suppressed the third grandma of the Anbo Mansion."
"Oh! I didn't expect Mrs. Shizi to be so interested, so why not." Mrs. Yang raised her lips slightly, and said cheerfully.
As soon as she agreed, several wives also walked out from Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi's side, and took off a valuable jewelry from her body and put it in.
When one of the ladies took the gold hairpin from her head and wanted to put it in, Princess Le Yao stopped her by the wrist.
Princess Le Yao raised her chin high, first she gave Chu Lian a sneaky look, and then proudly said: "How can such a fun thing be done without my princess!"
As he said, he put a small golden sculpture in the shape of a unicorn hanging on his waist into the tray, "This is a golden sculpture bestowed by the queen mother, but can it compare to your jewelry?"
This little golden sculpture was given to her by the empress two years ago. It was Princess Le Yao's eight-year-old birthday gift. She liked it the most, so she wore it everywhere. The eyes of the little golden unicorn are inlaid with two mung beans. Large and small rubies, very realistic.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi wanted to stop Princess Le Yao, but this princess was spoiled and brought up in the palace, she was used to doing her own way, and she was favored by the Holy One. The princess who was only ten years old seemed a little strange.
Mrs. Yang also glanced at Princess Le Yao, even though she is the wife of an important minister, she is not good at interfering in the princess' affairs.
After all, the princess is the heir of the royal family.
It's not always easy to get a royal.
Just when everyone thought that this lottery was over, Princess Duanjia walked into the crowd again.
Princess Duanjia is about the same age as Chu Lian, and she is the daughter of King Wei, the current brother of the Holy One.
In truth, it is no worse than Princess Le Yao.
"Since little sister Le Yao has given up her beloved, how can she miss me!"
Princess Duanjia didn't look at Princess Le Yao's expression, but just reached out and took out something from the sachet on her waist. It was a white jade ring finger with words engraved inside, even just looking at the texture of the finger ring, one could tell that it was made of high-quality suet jade, not worse than Princess Le Yao's golden unicorn.
Princess Le Yao just flashed a smug look on her face, and deliberately glanced at Chu Lian who was standing in the middle of the crowd, as if she was showing off or mocking. But when she saw Princess Duanjia place the jade ring finger opposite her golden unicorn, her expression changed instantly.
"Duanjia! You!"
Princess Duanjia didn't care about the anger on Princess Le Yao's face at all, she tilted her head and said with a smile: "I will bet on the third grandma of Anbo Mansion to win."
Princess Duanjia's action stunned half of the people present, why? Isn't Princess Duanjia with Princess Le Yao? Why are you helping the third grandma in Jing'anbo Mansion again
Chu Lian was also surprised, no matter whether it was her predecessor or her current self, she had nothing to do with Princess Duanjia, so why would she stand by her side
Out of curiosity, Chu Lian couldn't help but look at Princess Duanjia twice more. Princess Duanjia turned her head and looked at Chu Lian. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and even smiled at Chu Lian.
Chu Lian looked away, even more confused.
Because of the addition of two top clan women, this gamble pushed the heat to its peak.
The wives and ladies of these noble and high-ranking officials have nothing to do on weekdays, and they can still see this wonderful confrontation when they come to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion to participate in the birthday banquet. , presumably within two days, it will become the most exciting topic of conversation in the upper class of Shengjing City.
Anmin County Mistress was a little unconvinced, and was eager to try and get a foot in the door, but was stopped by Zou Yuanqin.
Zou Yuanqin got her mother's instruction, and shook her head at Anmin county magistrate.
Princess Anmin can only let it go, she is the daughter of the princess, after all, her identity is still a bit worse than that of Princess Leyao and Princess Duanjia, and now that two clan girls have joined in, she really is not suitable to join forces foot.
Auntie Rong held a jade pendant tightly in her hand, but she was hesitant. Later, seeing Princess Le Yao and Princess Duanjia both joined, she flinched even more.
In this case, if she wins the lottery, she will directly face Princess Le Yao.
