Mingcuiyuan

Yang Lianxin walked into the house angrily. Chu Xue was drinking snow frost soup. When she saw her daughter coming in, she looked angry and asked, "So what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

"..." Yang Lianxin sat on the chair without saying a word.

"Didn't it mean that a father-in-law came to the palace? Are you here to pick up your fifth cousin into the palace?" When he came back from Xiaozhuyuan, Chu Xue did not go to Anshantang, but went back to her residence directly.

"Don't talk about her!" Yang Lian said angrily.

"What's wrong? She's messing with you again?"

"Mom, didn't you say that as long as you follow her, you will have the opportunity to meet many noble people? However, I have pleased her these two days and sent her a purse, but she didn't want to pay attention to me. Also, the father-in-law who came to the palace today gave her a reward on the orders of the Queen Mother and Concubine Kang."

Originally she didn't want to say anything, but when she was in the garden, she was ashamed of being said by her sixth cousin. She didn't dare to replace her jewelry because she didn't spend any extra money. Chu Xinyu had so many jewelry and cloth, and she didn't give her one, and she felt a sense of anger, and she had all kinds of envy and jealousy!

reward?

It’s great, the things in the palace are all treasures. Chu Xue glanced at her daughter, “What did you appreciate?”

“Golden jewelry fertile fields and satin.”

These are all good things. Chu Xue put down the spoon and asked, "Didn't she give you some?"

"She gave me this." Yang Lianxin took out the jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it to her.

Chu Xue took it over and took a look, and said, "This jade bracelet is good, it is transparent in color, and you can't buy it for less than two or three hundred taels of silver."

"But I want her cloud brocade, she has several."

Everyone likes Yunjin, but not everyone can afford it. If you are lucky enough to get one, who is willing to give it to others, but if you get several but don’t distinguish between sisters, it’s unreasonable.

Chu Xue felt that Chu Xinyu was not kind and should take out the good things to share with her sisters. She looked at her daughter and remembered the things she asked Chu Xinyu in the morning, and said, "Why don't you tell me the truth about the Jade Fracture Fan?"

Yang Lianxin was stunned and immediately understood that her mother might have talked to Chu Xinyu. She said, "I'm afraid you'll scold me. If I knew that the manufacturing process was so complicated, I wouldn't say that I had drawn the drawing and customized it. By the way, mother, go and tell my fifth cousin that she promised to help me find a way to remedy it?"

"She said she had no choice but to ask you to admit your mistakes with those people."

"No, I won't go. If I go, I won't be able to face them in the future." It's not easy for the noble women's circle to squeeze in, and finally climbed up with this method. If she admits that she lies and breaks her promise, will those people still be willing to date her?

Now even her mother asked Chu Xinyu, she said she had no choice. Yang Lianxin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Yesterday she received an invitation from the second girl from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, asking her to go to her mansion to listen to the opera tomorrow, and asked her if she could bring two more jade fracture fans by the way, and she wanted to give it to her friend.

Chu Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Now I can only ask your grandmother to see if she can persuade your fifth cousin to help you, but you must be prepared, your grandmother may scold you."

Yang Lian said in her heart: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't have to admit to lying." Compared to her grandmother's scolding, she was more worried that her lies would be exposed and ruined her reputation.

...

Chu Xinyu slept for about half an hour, but was woken up by Zhu Bo, saying that Yu Qin came and asked her to go to Anshantang. Zhu Bo couldn't explain clearly what it was.

He got up, asked Zhu Bo to dress her up, put on her clothes and walked out, but Yuqin had not left yet.

"What's the reason why my grandmother came to me?" she asked Yuqin.

Yuqin said the truth: "I don't know either, but my third aunt and cousin told the old lady something, so Madam Sun asked me to come and invite the girl over."

It was Chu Xue and Yang Lianxin who were both there, so Chu Xinyu remembered what Chu Xue asked for in the morning, and expected why Old Lady Chu went to Anshantang now. To be honest, she didn't want to go, but she couldn't do it if she didn't go.

When we arrived at Anshan Hall, Old Lady Chu was sitting on the Luohan couch, Yang Lianxin sat next to her, while Chu Xue was sitting on the left hand of Old Lady Chu, peeling apples for the old lady.

Chu Xinyu went in and bowed, and asked, "I wonder what grandmother has to ask for Yu'er?"

Old Mrs. Chu smiled and asked her to sit down first, and then said, "I heard from your cousin that you made the gift she gave to Princess Zhaoyang at the Baihua Banquet that day. The Funing County Lord wanted it when he saw it. Your cousin asked if you have it. If there is one, I will give her one. She wants to give it to Princess Funing County Lord."

Chu Xinyu said, "Grandmother, it's not that Yu'er is stingy, but Yu'er really can't help her cousin. I only have a jade fracture fan, but I have given it to my cousin. And that day I told her very clearly that I couldn't fold the fan and asked her to apologize to those girls, but she just refused to apologize to others. If she had told that day, this wouldn't have happened."

She knew very well that the longer the lie was delayed, the more unable it was to explain it, the more it was to cover it up.

Because they knew that the process of creating a jade fracture fan was complicated and troublesome, they felt that it was precious. Now someone sent it for free, who wouldn't want it? If Yang Lianxin heard her say that the jade fracture fan was so complicated and troublesome, she would explain it to the girls as soon as possible, maybe they would understand it.

Chu Xue said, "Xin'er said she thought you would have it, so she agreed to give each of them one. She didn't know that the manufacturing process of the jade fracture fan was so complicated. If she knew, she would definitely not give a folding fan as a gift. She just thought it looked good and wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Who would have thought it would have such a result."

Chu Xinyu frowned and his eyes were slightly cold. Chu Xue said this to blame her for not giving the folding fan to her daughter. If she hadn't given the fan, her daughter wouldn't have caused these problems?

But how could she know that her daughter did not cherish the gift she gave her so much? If she had known it, she would not have given it. She did not know how to reflect on herself, but she would have pushed the blame to others. She finally saw such a shameless person.

Chu Xue didn't seem to want to give up and continued, "Besides, you know that the process of creating a jade fracture fan is troublesome. When your cousin said that everyone gave me one, why didn't you come out to stop it? Your cousin likes to make friends and is cheerful and generous. Now it's good. She promises others and can't take it out. What should she do if she asks her? She will definitely be told that she is untrustworthy, which will damage her reputation at that time. In the future, it will be difficult for her to discuss a good marriage."

Madam Sun frowned when she heard this. Why did the third aunt turn the blame on the fifth girl? It was obviously not her fault, but the cousin promised others herself, as if the fifth girl harmed her.

She glanced at the old lady and saw that her face was gloomy, she couldn't help but worry. Will she listen to the third aunt and blame the fifth girl for giving the jade fracture fan to her cousin?

The third aunt is the most beloved of the seven children of the legitimate and illegitimate children of Mrs. Chu. When she married her third aunt, the third aunt was also the second son of the Guangning Bo’s Mansion. This marriage was originally good, but unfortunately, after her eldest son was born, the Guangning Bo was demoted for his wrong title.

When I married a chicken, my third aunt and grandma left the capital with my third aunt. My life was always very difficult. The old lady used money to help them from time to time. Until half a year ago, my third aunt was transferred back to Beijing.

The old lady felt a little guilty and pity for her third aunt, and she also loved her granddaughter very much. Madam Sun was really afraid that she would agree to her third aunt and let the fifth girl settle these things for them.

Chu Xinyu was very angry at this moment. It was Yang Lianxin who wanted to show off, but she was shameless and generous, saying that her cousin likes to make friends, and she is cheerful and generous, I bah!

She was not a persimmon that she could be rounded and kneaded. Chu Xue wanted to push these things to her, so it was not so easy. She said to the old lady Chu: "Grandma, it was not that I didn't want to stop my cousin at that time, but when the Funing County Lord asked her if the jade fracture fan was made by her, she nodded without thinking and said that she had drawn a drawing and asked a craftsman to make it. At that time, I couldn't stop it. She was surrounded by many people and I couldn't squeeze in until she promised those people that they would give each of them a fan, and I was stunned.

I didn't dare to expose my cousin's lies on the spot, for fear of ruining her reputation. But I reminded her later that if she had this awareness, she should explain to others in time and find an excuse to say that the materials are incomplete and that they cannot be used as a fan. But she never said that. Besides, I gave my cousin the Jade Fold Fan. At that time, I didn't care about the preciousness of the fan, but I just wanted to cherish this sisterly relationship. But I didn't expect that she would not cherish the gift I gave so much. Without saying a word, she handed over the gift I gave to others."

Chu Xinyu spoke clearly and his expression was open-minded.

Humph! Whoever complains will not sue you? It is your unkindness first, and I am unrighteous later.

Originally, she planned not to pursue this matter, but someone wanted to commit suicide. Since you wanted to do it, okay, she would let her commit suicide at once!

After Mrs. Chu figured out the whole story, she knew that Chu Xinyu couldn't blame her for this matter. She was because her granddaughter was not kind enough and her daughter wanted to shirk responsibility. This matter had nothing to do with Yu Yatou from beginning to end.

Chu Xue didn't expect Chu Xinyu to sue her daughter for not cherishing the gift she gave. After she said this, all the shirked responsibility she had in the front was wasted. Seeing the old lady Chu's face turned ashen, her heart was raised.

With a "bang", she saw Mrs. Chu slapping the table hard, then she glanced at it and scolded: "You taught a good daughter! She was so excited about her achievements. She was impulsive and did not think about the consequences. She wanted to push the blame to others if she did something wrong. It would be okay to say that it was her own family. If it were someone else, would you lose face?"

Yang Lianxin knew that the old lady would definitely scold her, so she was prepared for her. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Grandma, it's Xin'er's fault. Xin'er shouldn't have agreed to give each of them a fan. If you want to punish her, Xin'er has to admit it and will never refute it. But now she doesn't agree and agree. What should I do now?"

Old Mrs. Chu said, "Of course you have to be punished. Although you are not a girl from the Marquis' Mansion, you live in the Marquis' Mansion and eat and use them all. According to family rules, you should be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall for three days."

Chu Xue felt sorry for her daughter and pleaded: "Mother, I should punish her if she had any mistakes. But she was weak and probably couldn't bear it, so she punished her kneel to the ancestral hall for a day and copy the rules of the house a hundred times."

"Sister Four has been kneeling for ten days." Chu Xinyu interrupted.

Yang Lianxin snatched Chu Xinyu's eyes.

Old Mrs. Chu did not accept Chu Xue's proposal, so Chu Xue had to say, "Since that's the case, then Xin'er promised to give those noble girls jade fracture fans, so she can't break her promise. The previous jade fracture fans were given to Xin'er by the fifth girl. Let her find a way to do this."

Chu Xinyu's face darkened, and she knew that Chu Xue would not give up and always wanted to put the blame on her and ask her to find a way, and she would agree unless her mind was in trouble.

Then he said, "I gave out the only precious folding fan, and I can't make so many more. If my third aunt must give it, I'll give me one million taels and I'll help you buy it from the world, ten or eight out of ten, or there will be one."

One million taels? She couldn't even take out the life of her whole family. Chu Xue's face was gloomy and she said, "You don't have to send a folding fan. You go and apologize to those noble girls, saying that Xin'er has been sick these days and cannot make a jade fracture fan, and the materials are a little incomplete. I will find all the materials to give them to you later."

"I apologize?" Chu Xinyu wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"You gave the Jade Fracture Fan to Xin'er. You know the Jade Fracture Fan the most. If you go and tell them, they will definitely understand. Also, don't you have a few Yunjin Shu brocades sent from the palace? If you give each of them one, they will definitely not blame Xin'er for breaking his promise when he saw the generous gifts he gave."

After all, why should she lose money and help her daughter make trouble? Who is she? What have she done for herself?

Yun Jin Shu Jin? She really stood up and said without any pain in her back. If she weren’t her aunt, she would really want to spit at her, shameless!

"Sanna I, you're not kind to say this." When she fell, someone came out from behind the screen. It turned out to be the second wife. She heard from the maid that the fifth girl had gone to Anshantang, and the third girl and her cousin were there, as if she wanted the fifth girl to help.

She didn't know what kind of help this aunt who was married but lived in her parents' home wanted to help Yu Yatou. Since a maid came to her specifically, someone must be afraid that Yu Yatou would suffer a loss and asked her to go and take a look.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived, she heard that the third aunt actually wanted to beat the Yumei's Yun Jin and Shu Jin.

Seeing that the second wife wanted to speak for Chu Xinyu, Chu Xue said unhappily: "Second sister-in-law, what do I say are kind? Anyway, the rewards of the fifth girl were also given by the palace and didn't have to spend money on her own. Besides, she is now the future wife of the Marquis of Peking. Are you afraid that there will be no such rewards in the future? As long as she gives those few pieces of Yunjin Shu brocade to those noble girls as a praising gift, Xin'er's boudoir reputation can be saved. Is a girl's boudoir reputation not as good as those dead things?"

The more Mrs. Chu heard it, the more she felt that her daughter had spoken a little too much, and her face was so heavy that it was about to fall to the bottom of the pot.

Madam Sun shook her head sighingly. The third aunt was really shameless for her daughter. She could say such words. If these words were spread, people would say that she was a married daughter who would not only live in her parents' home, but also use her parents' home's things, and even her niece's things.

If you lose your reputation, you are afraid that your daughter's reputation will be so innocent, and you will still be tainted. Didn't she think of this?

"Mrs. Third aunt, you really don't feel bad when you stand up. Those Yunjin Shujin were given to Yu Yat-tung by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Kang. They don't have to spend money to buy them. But why should you ask her to apologize and ask her to give a gift when your daughter caused a disaster? Your daughter's reputation is precious, is it not precious to Yu Yat-tung? When she was taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation yesterday, did you think about whether she would be afraid? If she could not find evidence, would she be sentenced? The reason why the Empress Dowager gave her was because the Empress Dowager understood that she was wronged and those things were compensated for her."

The second lady said these words very bluntly, especially in the last sentence, the empress dowager understood that Chu Xinyu was wronged and rewarded her with so many things. The daughter of the third aunt's grandmother made Chu Xinyu wronged. Not only did she not have apologized, she also wanted her to take out the imperial gift to apologize for her daughter. If she was shameless, I really couldn't believe that this person was from the Marquis' Mansion.

Old Mrs. Chu was very happy that her second wife was so protective of Chu Xinyu. Yuan was not good to Chu Xinyu, but she had two good aunts to protect her and finally comforted her.

But she couldn't ignore her daughter and granddaughter. She looked at Chu Xinyu and said, "You see how to solve this problem?"

Chu Xinyu said: "Of course, one person does things and one person takes responsibility. Since you have done something wrong, if someone takes it over for someone who does something wrong today, and you don't get a profound lesson, you will easily make mistakes next time."

It’s not that she can’t bear to let go of the Yunjin and Shujin, but that you helped others, and they may not be grateful to you, but will complain to you a lot. From the beginning of Chu Xue asking her to apologize, she felt that this mother and daughter were not worth helping.

When she came in, they would only push the blame over her, but never thought of having a good talk with her. Now they wanted her to clean up this mess?

There are only three words in her mind, it is impossible!

Chu Xinyu understood very clearly when she refused. Old Mrs. Chu finally decided to ask Yang Lianxin to apologize to those noble girls. According to what Chu Xue said before, the materials were not complete and they could not be done, so I would like to pay some more gifts. As for these gifts, of course, the old lady gave them.

Chu Xinyu had no objection to these things, as she didn't do it anyway.
Chapter completed!
