Time passed little by little, and the maids also began to become restless.

Zhou Rui's family took a look at the sky, pulled Pearl next to him, and said with a smile: "Young lady is a celebrity around the old lady, and her personality and appearance are also first-class, so she must be very popular with the old lady?"

Pearl frowned and didn't answer.

Zhou Rui's family said again: "I don't know if the old lady can have dinner. Our wife has a migraine today, and she didn't get up until the evening. She hasn't had dinner yet, so she was called to Rongxi Hall by the old lady. Miss you Look, can it be convenient for the maids to bring in some snacks to pad the wife's belly? The wife is weak, if she starves to death, it would be a great sin."

Pearl looked at her for a while, and finally spoke: "The old lady said that no one is allowed to go in."

Zhou Rui's family saw that her expression was relaxed, so they hit the iron while it was hot: "That's right. Madams and wives are discussing business matters, so there is no place for maids to talk. But our wife is really tired today, and we were told that we were told when we woke up. When you go to Rongxi Hall, look at—oh, it’s convenient for the girl, let the maids bring some food to the hall, at least you can’t starve the second wife.”

Pearl frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I'll ask the old lady to show me." Then she went into the house.

Zhou Rui's family heaved a sigh of relief, called Jiang Ling and another young maid to his side, and said with a slap in the face: "If you are allowed to enter the Rongxi Hall later, you must persuade the old lady that you would rather get two more slaps yourself. , and don't let the second wife be surprised, remember it?"

——I would rather get two extra slaps than surprise the second wife?

——I'm not masochistic/masochistic.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and a wave of anger gradually arose in his heart.She squeezed the food box in her hand, and glanced at Zhou Rui's shoes. There was a light golden thread on it, which looked really pretty under the moonlight.She smiled indistinctly, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Zhou Rui's family wanted to say more, but seeing Jiang Ling's appearance, they stopped preaching.

The other little maid was so angry that she rolled her eyes at Zhou Rui's family, and she just fell into Zhou Rui's family's line of sight.

Zhou Rui's family took a step forward, pinched her finger bones, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Let me tell you, if something happens to your wife, neither of you will be able to live tonight!..."

"Mom." Jiang Ling said suddenly, "Look how beautiful the night is tonight, why bother to get angry because of our two servant girls? If you miss the wife's business, you don't have to explain to the wife. Seeing Miss Pearl It's about to come out, if you teach others at this time, won't you also embarrass your wife?"

Caiyun and Caixia next to Zhou Rui's family also held Zhou Rui's family from the side. One persuaded, "It will not end well when the wife finds out", and the other reminded, "Now we are in Rongxi Hall".Zhou Rui's family gave the servant girl a hard look, lowered her voice and said, "Let's let you go today." Then she shook her hands and stood aside, not speaking.

The little maid was secretly relieved after escaping, and said to Jiang Ling in a low voice, "Thank you."

Jiang Ling smiled, but his eyes stayed on Zhou Rui's shoes, and quickly put them back.The little maid followed her gaze, couldn't help covering her mouth, and said softly, "Golden thread!"

Caiyun and Caixia stopped their movements when they heard the words, and followed the little maid's gaze.Zhou Rui's shoes really had a hem made of twisted gold thread, but it was a very light gold thread, which looked extraordinarily beautiful in the moonlight.Now, even Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan in front of the Rongxi Hall noticed, and when they came to them, Qiqi was startled when they saw the hem on the soles of Zhou Rui's shoes.

Zhou Rui's face changed drastically, he took two steps back and looked down at the soles of his shoes, with the same unbelievable expression.

At this time, more than ten bright lamps were lit in front of the Rongxi Hall, against the bright moonlight in the sky, clearly illuminating everyone's expressions.Surprised, puzzled, unbelievable...Jiang Ling took a step back, turned his back to the bright orange/yellow flames, and smiled.

She clearly remembered that when she was an immature girl, she was once cheated by an uncle who sold bags.

It was also at night, and the uncle selling bags lit two yellow lights next to the stall, which turned a light blue and green wallet into a beautiful sea blue.She couldn't put it down at the time, but when she bought it back, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

The chromatic aberration caused by the human eye will be infinitely magnified in bright and dark or colored environments.

For example, a dress that was popular on the Internet in the previous life was blue and black in the eyes of half of the people, but turned into platinum in the eyes of the other half.The reason is nothing more than the error caused by exposure and human eyes.

Jiang Ling smiled indistinctly again, and stood quietly by the side holding the food box, watching Zhou Rui's family and the four maids in a mess, and the four maids pointed out that Zhou Rui's family should not use gold thread to cover the soles of their shoes , Zhou Rui's family anxiously argued that he had never used gold thread, but he didn't know that it was that little bastard who ruined his reputation, so he secretly changed his shoes.The four maids obviously didn't believe it.

"It's from Zhou Rui's family." Caixia said coldly, "You know the rules in Madam's house. Today I use gold thread soles. Will I still wear queen's shoes in the future? Mrs. As a rule, you can wear gold and silver as you like, but gold thread soles are a taboo, and no one can use them except for the old ladies and wives. You are a daughter-in-law in charge, after all, you are just a slave How dare you ride on the heads of wives, girls, and grandmas!"

Zhou Rui's family couldn't argue with each other, they could only sweat all over in anxiety.

"It's from Zhou Rui's family." Caiyun's voice was softer, but still stiff, "You should go back and burn your shoes, and then go to your wife and get twenty boards to plead guilty. Remember, no one can tolerate such a mistake, even Neither can the wife."

Zhou Rui's family's face was pale, they lowered their heads and answered yes, and were taken away by Caiyun.I don't know what the consequences will be.

The three big maids, and the two young maids carrying food boxes, waited for a while in front of the Rongxi Hall, and then saw Pearl and the mandarin ducks coming out of the Rongxi Hall.Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan looked at each other, then Jin Chuan stepped forward and asked what was going on.It was a bit unexpected that Pearl didn't see Zhou Rui's house, but she never asked, and said indifferently: "The old lady said that the two maids are allowed to bring things in, but you must keep in mind your duty. Don't look at it. As for the rest of the maids, they should all go back to the house to rest. Today, the second wife is going to stay overnight in Rongxi Hall, and the old lady has already spoken, and she won't tolerate anyone."

Jin Chuan's expression changed, but he didn't say much. After thanking Pearl, he left with Yu Chuan and Caixia.

Pearl took a look at the remaining two little maidservants, nodded to Yuanyang, Yuanyang came up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Come inside. Follow me later, put some snacks on the table and it's over. Don't let me go." It takes more hands and more feet, remember?"

Jiang Ling and the little maid said yes.

Yuanyang smiled again when she saw Jiang Ling, and touched the pearl lightly.Pearl originally had a tense face, but when she was touched by the mandarin duck, she burst out laughing, and her stiff expression eased a lot: "Go in." These words were addressed to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling didn't want to cause trouble again, so she smiled at the two of them, and followed Yuanyang in a well-behaved manner with another little maid, carrying the food box to Rongxi Hall.This is Jiang Ling's second visit to Rongxi Hall, the last time she was brought here by Mrs. Wang, and she was very ignorant, so she never looked closely at the furnishings in the room.At this time, when I entered the hall, I found that it was magnificent and magnificent, with exquisite calligraphy, paintings and antiques, except that most of the pillows and cushions were not old, obviously they had been used for some years.She stared intently for a while, and then saw the old lady sitting in the main hall, who was also the person with the highest status in Jia's mansion, Jia Mu.

Compared with this time last year, Mother Jia didn't look any older, and she was obviously well-maintained.

At this time, Mother Jia was sitting in front of the hall, and Mrs. Wang was sitting second from the right, both of them looked a little unkind.Jia's mother was furious, while Mrs. Wang was angry with a little sadness.There is also a woman kneeling under the hall, who is younger than Mrs. Wang, and the hairpin and jewelry have to be reduced by three points, but she looks more magnificent than the other maids serving.Jiang Ling thought for a while, and guessed that this was probably Aunt Zhao.

Unexpectedly, things went round and round, and it returned to the dispute between wives and concubines in Jia's mansion.

I only heard Aunt Zhao crying: "The old lady is gracious, our mother and I have always kept our own place in this Rongguo Mansion, and behaved with our tails between our legs. I don't know who is black-hearted, slandering my Huan'er ostomy industry, Gossip, ah! How amazing is this! The old lady is the most upright and upright person in the whole family, but she must not bend the law for personal gain and tolerate the despicable deeds of those black-hearted people."

After all, he gave Mrs. Wang a hard look, as if this black-hearted person was undoubtedly referring to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she stood up abruptly, her fingertips trembling: "You...you..."

Aunt Zhao said confidently: "I, what am I? I only think that Mr. Huan never said these words. What does he know as a child? He is not instigated by others. You know, old lady, I have been in the past two days Chanting scriptures outside the mansion, praying for the master, Miss Musk Moon also saw it. These black-hearted people instigated my Huan'er, and planted the crime on my head, oh-"

Mrs. Wang slammed in anger and slapped the table hard.

"enough!"

Jia Mu stood up abruptly, her face turning blue: "You two didn't instigate this matter, and you two don't have to act like black-eyed chickens in front of me, making others laugh at me. I've already done this. I found out that it was Brother Huan who was playing around and sneaked outside to join in the fun while he was out of spirit—I will punish him for this matter—coincidentally, he bumped into the manager next to Long Live Lord Eunuch, I just heard a few words." She took a breath, her face turned greener, "This matter has been brought to the sky!"

Mrs. Wang's slightly changed face softened slightly when she heard this: "But what does the matter in our mansion have to do with Lord Long Live?"

Mother Jia sneered and said, "Then I have to ask your good niece. What shameful things did your good niece do in order to balance the debt? Usury, extortion of tenants, and almost beating him to death." People. If I hadn’t gotten the news, her business would have gone to the Hanlin Academy. What does it have to do with the Lord Long Live? If it’s really in the mansion, it has nothing to do with the Lord Long Live; but it’s really in the mansion Are you covering it?"

Madam Wang was speechless.
