Hearing this, Ding Xiang immediately gave Xie Songhua a hard look, and Xie Songhua immediately said: "I gave it, but I didn't pay much attention to dressing up and didn't think about changing the jewelry to take it with me."
Mrs. Qi suddenly frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "When you go out, others will think that I have treated you harshly!"
Xie Songhua readily admitted his mistake and said he would pay attention to it in the future.
Xie Shuhua said with a half-smile: "The fourth sister has finally gotten used to the life in our family."
Xie Songhua lowered his head and closed his eyes without saying a word. He looked very obedient and careful, which made Xie Shuhua a little puzzled.
She was the only one in the whole family who had seen Xie Songhua's aggressive look. Others believed that she looked dead now, but she didn't believe it. How could just a few maids wear her down?
So Xie Shuhua just kept looking at Xie Songhua's expression from the side.
Seeing that Xie Songhua was going to Shou'antang Hall again, Mrs. Qi's face suddenly turned even darker.
During this period, Xie Songhua knelt outside the Shou'an Hall every day to greet the old lady, and then went back after the ceremony.
Although others only spoke of her as filial, secretly they were laughing at her for not being able to enter the Shou'an Hall.
It's one thing that Mrs. Qi doesn't like Xie Songhua, but after all, Xie Songhua is her daughter.
Xie Songhua's joke was actually a joke on her, so she felt very uncomfortable.
However, this Xie Songhua didn't seem to understand the hint at all. No matter how Qi made insinuations, she just pretended not to understand and was determined to fulfill her filial piety.
Mrs. Qi could only grit her teeth and endure it. After all, she was the one who refused to let her enter Shou'an Hall on the first day.
It's just that Ding Xiang was very dissatisfied with the daily scandal in the Shou'an Hall. The Shou'an Hall was so lively in the morning. Almost all the masters could see this fool standing at the door of the Shou'an Hall to say hello, and she could only follow him.
Shameful.
So when Xie Songhua stood up from the ceremony at the door of Shou'an Hall and accidentally touched a piece of mud on the ground to her new skirt, the anger in Ding Xiang's chest could no longer be suppressed.
"I'm going to die! I just wore this skirt today!"
This was the most beautiful piece of material that Xie Songhua had obtained during this period of time, and he divided it among them as usual.
Ding Xiang has always been pretty, but now the clothes were just finished and she couldn't help but get on top of them. Before she even had time to go out and show off, she was ruined by Xie Songhua's hand. How could she not be annoyed?
In addition, these days, she followed Xie Songhua to greet the two mistresses every day, and she was very clear about Xie Songhua's current status in the mansion.
In the Summer Palace, the madam never gave her a smile, and the Shou'an Hall was even worse, not even letting her in.
After all, girls who come from the countryside are not welcomed at all.
She has an average appearance, an average temperament, knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is an incompetent accountant. This fourth girl has no way out in this house.
What else does she have to be afraid of?
Thinking about the hot weather and the long journey she had to go out every day, Ding Xiang became even more angry, "I told you to stay in your own yard peacefully, but you are restless, knowing that you are carrying evil spirits with you."
, you still want to come here to disturb the old lady, why are you so ignorant?"
Xie Songhua lowered his eyes and murmured with red eyes: "It's not me who ruined my sister's skirt. I'll pay you one later."
Ding Xiang was still angry and said angrily: "What are you going to pay for? Everything in your hand has been divided. Besides, do you know that I am going out today?!"
Xie Songhua probably saw that she was really angry, so he became a little anxious, "Sister, don't be angry, I really didn't mean it. Otherwise, if you change it, I still have a piece of cloth?"
"You have the nerve to say that?! The third girl has already said today that you haven't changed your headdress. Do we still want to tell you that you haven't changed your clothes? We only have one piece left, and we are not allowed to tailor clothes for you!"
Xie Songhua said anxiously: "Then... what about waiting for the next season, when the next season's items come down, I will pick them first after my sister? Don't be angry."
Ding Xiang was a little moved when she heard this, but seeing the fawning look on her face, she was unwilling to let it go, so she immediately said: "I don't care, when the autumn ingredients come down, you have to give me back two pieces."
Xie Songhua seemed to have heard her put forward a feasible condition, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Let me pick two horses with my sister first."
"That's pretty much it!" Ding Xiang was still very satisfied with the fourth girl's attitude, so she casually said, "Let me tell you, if you An Sheng is obedient, we are hello, me, and everyone. If you don't know how to show appreciation, this
There is no place for you in the house."
She spoke so arrogantly that Xie Songhua did not dare to refute.
But I heard a girl's voice coming from the yard, "What a loud voice! When did the girls in our house need a maid to support them in their actions?"
Ding Xiang's face changed suddenly when she heard this, and when she turned around, she saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old walking out with a cold look on her face.
Xie Songhua thought for a while and then remembered that this was Xie Qian, the second-room concubine of the Xie family, who was raised in the old lady's house with Xie Tu.
Because she has already told others that she will get married next year, she doesn't go out much.
Xie Songhua originally thought it would be Xie Tu who came out, but he didn't expect it would be her.
But looking at it this way, the second girl from the Xie family seems to be more suitable for this role.
Ding Xiang's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately knelt down on the ground, trembling and said: "No, that's not the case. Second lady, you heard wrong. This is not what I meant."
After saying that, he quickly turned to Xie Songhua and said, "Fourth girl, please say something for me! I definitely don't mean that."
Xie Songhua seemed to be frightened, mumbling and speechless.
"What's going on? What happened?"
A stern voice sounded, and Ding Xiang suddenly felt like a basin of ice water in his pocket, and the blood on his face suddenly disappeared.
I saw Xie Yuncang walking from behind.
Today is the fifteenth day! Xie Yuncang is at home, so he will naturally come over to pay his respects to the old lady.
Ding Xiang almost immediately turned her pleading eyes to Xie Songhua, but Xie Songhua just looked dumb as always, and even turned to look at Xie Yuncang, "Father, why are you here?"
The movement here also alarmed the people in Shou'an Hall, and the old lady directly sent the peony beside her to ask questions.
After Xie Qian saluted his father, he sneered and recounted what he had just heard. Xie Yuncang's eyes fell on Xie Songhua's face, and a shallow furrow suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.
"Bring it in!"
As soon as he said these three words, Ding Xiang collapsed to the ground in fear.
Xie Yuncang stepped forward to the threshold, but saw Xie Songhua still standing there, and couldn't help but frown, "What are you still standing there for?"
Xie Songhua hesitated and said: "My daughter...is afraid that she will bump into her grandmother when she enters the door."
"You have lived in Mengpo for so many days, and I have never seen you bump into me!"
Xie Qian then pushed Xie Songhua, "Hurry up and get in."
At this time, all the people in the Shou'an Hall had arrived, and for most people, it was another lively event.
The old lady turned her eyes from only a few people, then frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Xie Yuncang pointed directly at Xie Songhua, "You tell me!"
Xie Songhua's face suddenly became frightened, and he glanced at Ding Xiang with fear, "I..."
