"How dare you!" I smacked the card with my hand and made a "peng" sound.
The two wet nurses who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads to look at me. The angry expression on the wet nurse's face hadn't faded yet.
"The Xu family is a famous family, so naturally their tutoring will be very strict. "Young Lady Xu's status is esteemed, and is not something that you can haggle over!"
Xue's wet nurse did not expect that I would speak up for the Xu family. She stared straight at me, completely shocked.
A sneer appeared on the Xu family's milkmaid's round face, as if she was saying: "So what if we've got something up our sleeves? Aren't you going to speak to us too?"
That may not be so!
"I think it would be better for him to explain this matter to the Old Ancestor of the Xu family in detail, lest he wrongly accuse Miss Xu and also hurt the peace between the three families!" On the surface, I revealed my thoughts with a smile.
If Third Miss stays here any longer, people will think that I've detained her and that she's causing trouble.
I might as well find an excuse to send her to Dian Cui Hall.
He was afraid that the two Miss Xu would suddenly jump out and use her identity as his "sister" to keep the Third Miss.
That's the right thing to do, and I can't refute it!
"What do you think of the two elder sisters of the Xu family?" I asked the ladies their opinion in an extremely humble manner.
Eldest Young Miss Xu looked at Second Miss who was leisurely sitting beside her. Her slender, pure white hand was holding a teacup. Second Miss Xu seemed to be thinking about her own matters and didn't notice the changes in the outside world.
On the surface, it was still Young Lady Xu who was an older sister, but she represented the Xu family.
This was also the reason why the Second Miss was able to remain calm and act as if she didn't hear anything outside the window.
"Miss Xue is smart and cute, but my third sister is also the flesh and blood of my grandmother. I don't think that's something we can be certain of."
Eldest Miss Xu expressed her intention tactfully, agreeing with me sending off Third Miss Xu.
Eldest Miss Xu glanced at Second Miss again, but Second Miss was still sitting there modestly and modestly.
How clever!
Even if the matriarch of the Xu family wanted to, she could only push the matter onto the eldest miss!
In the end, she didn't say a word!
I turned my head to instruct the Green Bandits who were standing behind me. "Follow Third Young Miss Xu and the people beside her and send them to the Dian Cui Hall. Then, report to Old Lady Xu about why Third Young Miss was sent back!"
I pointed to the Xue Niang who was kneeling on the ground. "You come with me as well. Tell Third Madam that Miss Lin is fine!"
With someone as smart as the Xue Niang, Lu Kui had more helpers.
The Xue Family's nanny lowered her head and complied. She stood up from the ground, wiping away her tears as she obediently followed behind the Green Bandits.
"Young mistress, this servant will send you to the madame's place!"
The third miss shook her head and rejected loudly, "I'm not going!"
The clear sound was like the sound of beads falling on a jade plate.
"The madame has a lot of delicious things to make fun of!" Lu Kou bent his body and smiled as he coaxed Third Young Miss.
"Then why don't the sisters go?" The third miss asked the green bandit with sparkling eyes.
"Because the ladies still want to play cards!" With that, he pointed at the scattered leaf tokens on the table.
"Then I'll go with you!" Third Miss got up from the brick bed and stood on the foot of the Pear Blossom Wood with a smile.
"Do you want the young lady to walk barefoot?" The green bandit turned around and smilingly asked the Xu family's wet nurse who was still kneeling on the ground, but his words were spoken with a condescending tone.
The lady of the Xu family had hatred on her face, but she dared not to speak. She could only slowly answer "Yes" and slowly put on her shoes for the third miss.
He wanted to drag it out a bit longer and wait for the third young mistress to regret it!
Clearly, Lu Kui had also seen through her intention. He smiled and spoke to the Third Miss, "The old ladies are all at Dian Cui Hall. Young miss, you don't know about the Dian Cui Hall, right? There's a big stage on the second floor, and please end the concert today and the pastries we make in the old lady's yard. We old ladies are like young mistresses, we love to eat sweet foods the most, even the pastries we make are extremely sweet! "
The Third Miss couldn't stay any longer after hearing what Lu Kuo said. She kept urging her wet nurse, "Hurry up!" "Faster!"
I couldn't help but smile. The Green Bandits are still the strongest!
It was a good thing that he didn't let the green bandits go home today!
After sending off the third lady, Lan Zhi called Lan Zhi and the maidservants in, and they moved away the table and changed it to the usual green cushions with plum blossoms.
The big red python was happily taken down.
I felt a burst of heartache. I had only used it for a day. I'm afraid that I won't be able to use it again in the future!
It would be better to reward them to the women in the kitchen, so that they could feel more comfortable sitting and lying down normally.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that it wasn't too bad.
Third Miss left, and there was no one else to accompany her. Seeing that the sun was setting, the ladies didn't dare to put up the game again. They sat down next to the brick bed affectionately.
Lan Li brought her maidservant over with a box of food.
"Miss, seeing that you all like it, I called for the kitchen to cook some more." Lan Lingyun smiled and bent her knees in salute, as respectful as ever. It was impossible to tell that she was the one who had said such harsh words.
"Hurry up and let us have a taste!" Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, Miss Wen smiled and urged Lan Lingyun to make everyone happy.
Second Miss Jiang covered her sleeves and laughed. "Big Sister just used a piece of jade to change the steamed bun. Why do you still say 'try it'?"
Although Miss Jiang was not extremely intelligent, she was still intelligent. How did she end up with such a sister?
She didn't want to be the one to beat around the bush!
In the future, not only would Second Miss Jiang not be able to help her, she would even be implicated!
He hoped that General Jiang and his wife would choose a good marriage for Second Miss Jiang. That family was both tolerant and magnanimous!
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Simply put, this is the dream of many girls.
If it was so easy to achieve it, it wouldn't be called a dream!
Each of the ladies had an exquisite sugar bun by their side, but it was lacking that mischievous joy, making it seem a little monotonous.
"Why is it that I just saw something different?" Second Miss Jiang pointed at Steamed Bun and scrutinized him carefully.
"I'm just not too happy about it." I smiled as I filled white china plates and agaric chopsticks for each of the young ladies.
They were all young people, they couldn't possibly be like little kids and eat with their hands!
Miss Wen picked up a steamed bun and took a small bite. The sugar inside was revealed and flowed into the small plate.
"With such ingenious thoughts in mind, who knows who will fake their marriage in the future!" Every time Miss Wen bit into that bun, she would praise it and the other young mistresses would immediately agree.
Who didn't live in their own yard and use their own kitchen! However, no matter how delicious the sweet buns were, it would never be as exaggerated as Miss Wen had said!
Miss Wen covered the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "It was fortunate that I didn't have a brother. If I had, I might have persuaded my mother to set you as his opponent!"
Even though she was married, she couldn't help blushing when she heard this.
I lightly pushed her and coquettishly said, "Elder sister, what are you saying?"
He glanced sideways and saw Second Young Miss Jiang sitting there with a steamed bun under her arm, giggling foolishly as she looked at me.
It was the time to bring disaster to the east!
I tugged on Miss Wen's sleeve and angrily shouted at Second Miss Jiang with a smile: "Look at that idiot! He's so deep in thought!"
"Don't tell me you hate marrying!" Miss Wen whispered to me in a low voice, causing all the other ladies to laugh out loud.
No matter how enraptured one was when thinking about these thoughts, they would be jolted awake by the resounding laughter.
Second Miss Jiang stared at us in confusion and asked: "What's wrong? "What's wrong?"
Everyone laughed again.
After chatting for a while, the green bandit led the Xue Nu Nanny through the door. He greeted them with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, the ladies are going back. Please go to the courtyard of the old lady!"
I secretly cast a questioning gaze at Lu Kui.
The green bandit slightly nodded his head.
The ladies stood up and greeted him with a smile. "I'll have to trouble you all to come visit us some other day." "Thank you for the hospitality."
For a time, it was rather spacious and bustling with noise and excitement.
On the other side, Second Miss Jiang was holding onto Miss Wen's hand and saying: "On the fifteenth, our house will be hosting a feast for the guests. Big sister, come on!"
Miss Wen shook her head and whispered, "This is the last time I'm going out!"
Second Miss Jiang's expression was a bit unsightly. Miss Wen had keenly noticed Second Miss Jiang's dejected mood. She lightly patted her shoulder and softly teased her: "But you can come to my house and play!"
Hearing this, Second Miss Jiang became happy again.
I couldn't help but smile at Second Miss Jiang's naivety.
Which girl wasn't a needlemaker in her boudoir? Even if Second Miss Jiang were a guest at the Wen Manor, Madam Wen would not allow her daughter, whom she was about to marry, to sit at the banquet without a care in the world. She would merely show her face.
This fool actually believed it to be true, perhaps even joyfully prepared to do so!
I pulled Second Young Miss Jiang's hand and smiled at Miss Wen. "You know her character, so how can you bully her like this?"
Miss Wen raised her eyebrows. With her hands on her hips, she smiled and said, "When have I, Wen Niu Qiu, ever spoken nonsense before?!"
So Miss Wen's maiden name was "Nian Qiu"!
"Elder sister's name is so nice to listen to!" Second Miss Jiang voiced out my thoughts.
Miss Wen's face showed a hint of excitement. She lowered her voice mysteriously and asked, "Do you two know why it's called 'Qiu'?"
I also have some doubts in my heart. Although 'Autumn' has a very plentiful allegory, but there is also the saying of 'Serene Autumn Wind', and even more so the ancient song 'Autumn Wind, Autumn Rain, and the West', which is filled with sadness, clearly shows that 'Autumn' is often inextricably linked to thousands of sorrows.
Was it because Miss Wen was born in the autumn?
Before she could say anything, two suspicious red clouds had already appeared on Miss Wen's face, which pulled the two of us even closer together. She smiled and said, "That's because my mother's little word is' Words and Autumn '.
Miss Wen's charming eyes were brimming with energy and vitality. Two bright red clouds seemed to cover her entire person.
Even Second Miss Jiang, who was listening, had a mesmerized look on her face.
To think that someone would use his daughter's name to brazenly express his love for his wife!
I suddenly want to know what kind of person the master Wen family is!
