It seems that Chu Lian's life is not as good as she imagined!
After thinking about it like this, Sister Yuan's mood improved a lot when she was trembling with anger from Sister Su and Sister Fu just now. Pinshu.com ()
Chu Lian nodded to the sisters in her family. Now that she is a person of class, she doesn't need to salute when she sees them.
Sister Su invited Chu Lian to Jinshixuan, and Sister Yuan uncharacteristically walked up to Chu Lian's side in twos and threes. With a slight movement, Wen Lan was pushed away, and she wrapped her arms around Chu Lian's arm, calling out affectionately. Say "six sisters".
Chu Lian only felt that the goosebumps all over her body were blown out by Sister Yuan's voice. She glanced at Sister Yuan's hands holding her left arm, with an undisguised disgust on her expression. She looked at him, but she didn't seem to see Chu Lian's displeased expression. Instead, she said affectionately: "Sixth sister, we all know about your title! It's just that you haven't had time to go to the house to congratulate, you won't blame my sister, right?" ?”
Chu Lian sneered coldly in her heart, if the British government really cared about this matter, why would she have waited until this time for Sister Yuan to mention it in front of her.
Although her title of country lord is rare, it is just a low-grade title of a married woman after all. It will not have the slightest impact on the court. She is like a pot of water poured out to the British government. It's normal for beloved parents to be neglected. Fortunately, she is not the original Chu Lian, so there is nothing to dislike.
This is quite comfortable!
Now that we have made a clear line with the British government, they don't even think about pestering her in the future!
Chu Lian really didn't want to deal with them for a moment, but they were outside after all.
She said with a good temper: "I won't blame you, it's just a trivial matter."
Sister Yuan rolled her eyes, and the corner of her mouth curled up, revealing an expression of "you are sensible", Wenqing held her breath in her throat, and clenched her fists tightly, feeling worthless for her master .
Sister Su walked two steps ahead, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she frowned slightly. Afraid that sister Yuan would say something hurtful, she hurriedly interrupted: "Sixth sister also came to Jinshixuan to choose jewelry?"
At this time, the sisters of the British government had arrived at the lobby of Jinshixuan.
Chu Lian didn't want to tell her that she was here to choose a birthday gift for her mother-in-law Mrs. Jing Anbo, so she nodded perfunctorily.
Sister Su's eyes were dark. Ever since the incident in Dingyuanhou's mansion that day, she could feel Chu Lian's alienation from her sister-in-law Rong and even the entire British government.
Regarding the day in the Dingyuanhou's mansion, she was not able to stand by Chu Lian's side at the first time, and she always felt guilty, so she stopped talking to annoy her immediately.
The lobby of Jinshixuan is elegantly decorated. In order to facilitate the rest of the ladies, there are tables, chairs and incense burners behind the screen in the lobby, and there is even a tea room in the backyard.
After the four sisters sat down, a maid served them fried tea, and the female shopkeeper even came to accompany them in person.
Sister Fu looked at Chu Lian's dress, and there was a trace of contempt in her eyes. The three households of the British public were not harmonious at all. Even if Chu Lian married, she was a girl who had left the second household. On a boat, when encountering such a good opportunity, how could Miss Fu not seize it.
Sister Fu glanced at Chu Lian pretending to be envious, "Sixth Sister was honored by the imperial decree to personally become the township monarch, which really brought honor to our British government. Two days ago, my grandmother praised Sixth Sister in front of my younger sister! The younger sister also took a good meal of acid water. The grandmother also said that if it is the title of the township emperor bestowed by the Holy Father, the royal family will reward it according to the regulations. There are hundreds of taels of gold alone, let alone the clothes and jewelry next to it. I am really envious Dead sister!"
Sister Su didn't expect Sister Fu to say such a thing, so she gave Sister Fu a warning look.
Sister Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then jealousy and unwillingness flashed across her eyes.
Chu Lian remained calm and looked at the people in front of her with wide eyes, feeling amused in her heart. Sister Fu is really bragging and doesn’t write drafts. All the servants in the mansion knew that the old lady didn't like the daughter of the second wife, so how could the iron tree bloom and would praise her. And the title of the township monarch is several hundred taels of gold, will you be the treasury of the Great Wu Dynasty
Sister Fu's words are too low-level, so she can only lie to Sister Yuan, who has no common sense. Even the female shopkeeper of Jinshixuan didn't move at all, obviously she didn't care about what Sister Fu said. don't care.
After finishing speaking, Sister Fu looked Chu Lian and Sister Yuan beside her up and down, and raised the corners of her mouth maliciously.
She said this for no other purpose than to stab Chu Yuan.
Sure enough, Chu Yuan was fooled. When they were girls in the British government together, she was several times better than Chu Lian in everything. Whether it was food, clothing or expenses, even the monthly allowance was a few taels more than Chu Lian.
When Chu Lian got married, it was the second wife who halved the original one thousand taels of silver. At that time, she was secretly proud because her mother gave her half of the withheld silver.
But now that Chu Lian has a title of country lord bestowed by the sage, it's fine, but there are so many rewards, including hundreds of taels of gold, how can this make her not jealous.
Chu Yuan recalled the idea that flashed through her mind just now.
She endured the unwillingness in her heart and forced herself to smile, "I didn't expect Sixth Sister to be so rich now, no wonder she came to Jinshixuan! Shicai's younger sister fell in love with a piece of jewelry, and it was only a hundred taels of silver. In the eyes of Sixth Sister It must be nothing, I wonder if Sixth Sister can buy it as a gift for my younger sister?"
Chu Yuan wished to snatch all the gold rewards that Chu Lian got into her own hands, but she couldn't be blatant, so she could only use such little tricks to grab a share of the pie.
After Chu Yuan finished speaking, she glanced at the female shopkeeper. The female shopkeeper knew that there was a conflict between the ladies and wives, so she didn't say much, just took the jewelry silently, put it lightly on the high table in front of them, and smiled. He introduced: "Ma'am, this emerald jade bracelet was valued by the lady in yellow shirt just now, fifty taels of silver. The emerald golden step next to it was chosen by the lady next to you, one hundred and fifty taels. As for the last This pearl inlaid gold bracelet is the youngest lady's favorite, sixty taels of silver."
It's really not cheap at all!
After the female shopkeeper finished her introduction, she secretly looked at Chu Lian, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, and wondered, who would recognize that she was the hot Jinyi Xiangjun who was recently rumored in Shengjing City when she went out like this.
The female shopkeeper only took a quick look, and didn't dare to look any more. She was also guessing in her heart whether this Jinyi Township gentleman was really so shabby, or was he deliberately dressed in such a low-key way to go out.
Chu Lian stretched out his slender and slender fingertips, took the three pieces of jewelry in front of him and looked at them one by one, and kept nodding, seeming very satisfied, but when he put the last pearl inlaid gold bracelet When he returned to the brocade box, his brows were slightly frowned again, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"As expected of the headgear made by Jinshixuan, it's really exquisite." When Chu Lian said this, there was a subtle embarrassment on Chu Lian's face.
Sister Fu and the others have been paying close attention to Chu Lian's expression. Seeing her showing timidity, Sister Fu was overjoyed. As expected, she guessed it right. She snorted coldly in her heart. So what about Mr. Xiang, looking at her shabby attire today, I'm afraid that her life in Jing'an Bo's residence will not be good at all. With such an expression, I'm afraid I can't even get a hundred taels of silver!
"Our sisters are not very old, and the jewelry they choose is also ordinary. The total of these three items is only three hundred taels of silver. It may be considered a lot of money for us, but it may be just a drop in the bucket for the sixth sister. The sixth sister is the Holy One himself. Where is the Lord Jinyi Township who was granted the title!" Sister Fu said maliciously.
Chu Lian secretly rolled his eyes.
Three hundred taels of silver is nothing, why don't you grab it!
These three hundred and two taels are enough to spend a lifetime for ordinary people's families.
Chu Lian pulled out a embarrassed smile, "Where is Jiumei talking?"
Sister Su also saw Chu Lian's embarrassment, and scolded Sister Fu, "Jiumei, how can we ask Sixth Sister to pay for jewelry when we come to buy jewelry! Don't make trouble!"
"This time Fifth Sister has wronged me, how could Sixth Sister put a mere three hundred taels of silver in her eyes."
In the past, Chu Lian could openly admit that he had no money and was poor, because this was the truth! But now there is an additional layer of obstruction from the identity of the village lord, so it is not easy to say that he is poor so boldly.
After all, her title also represents the face of the royal family. The township monarch with the title can be regarded as a half-clan girl. If she admits to being poor, it means that the royal family is poor and loses the royal family's face.
Chu Lian took a special look at Jiumei, she didn't expect that a twelve or thirteen-year-old child would be so thoughtful.
Could it be that she is sure that she will suffer from today's dumb loss
Sister Yuan's eyes fell on the gold step rocker, the workmanship of the step shaker was fine, especially the several emeralds of the same size inlaid on it were extraordinarily beautiful. Today, she doesn't need to pay a penny for a good-looking Bu Yao to belong to her, and she can also make Chu Lian so angry that she is very happy.
Therefore, Sister Yuan chimed in and said, "Fifth Sister, don't forget that today is different from the past, and Sixth Sister is the Lord of Jinyi Township!"
Although Sister Su wanted to protect Chu Lian, but the two younger sisters talked to each other, and she couldn't even find out what to refute. In the end, she could only look at Chu Lian in apologetic way.
Chu Lian gave her an ugly smile, and didn't say whether he could take out the silver to buy these jewelry, but turned to the female shopkeeper who was standing aside and said: "Treasurer, there are other things, bring them together I'll see."
Sister Fu saw that Chu Lian's face seemed to be getting more and more ugly, and she felt refreshed. She didn't care if Chu Lian could buy that piece of jewelry as a gift for her, but she just wanted to slap Chu Lian in the face, to see if she would not be able to get rid of if she was criticized by others. Taiwan only. She wants to let her know that it is not so easy to keep such a title of Township Lord bestowed by the sage. Maybe it will be taken back before it's hot, and at that time, Chu Lian will become the laughing stock of the entire Shengjing City.
