Chapter 880 Weird Madam Ye
Shi Luo didn't like to be lively. She replied politely whenever others said something. When talking about the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shi Luo noticed that these wives all raised their ears, probably all of them were sent by their husbands to inquire about the news.
Shi Luo understood that it was a chaotic time and they must be worried about something, so he said what Wei Congxi said, saying that the northwest is the foundation of the regent and his rear. He was worried that the Quanrong would invade and would not leave for a short time.
As for her attitude towards Nanyue, she didn't say it, but she was the princess of Nanyue, and her identity was here. Could it be that Nanyue could still kill their princess and princess?
Everyone received a satisfactory reply and all breathed a sigh of relief, and were naturally polite to Shi Luo.
The banquet went very smoothly, and the ladies and ladies also wrote poems and played the piano to cheer them up. In short, it was very harmonious.
Until the end, Shi Luo had already come out, and found that the ruby on his golden hairpin was gone.
This golden hairpin was given by Xiao Cheng at the time. Shi Luo liked it very much, so he asked Zhe to go back and look for it.
Mrs. Ye is not very beautiful, but she is also kind-hearted, and she smiles and gives people a feeling of being easy to get along with.
When he heard this, he immediately took Shi Luo back to search. Who knew that he could not find it after searching for a while. Mrs. Ye apologized: "The princess goes back first, and I will order someone to look for it."
Shi Luo nodded. Although there were many people today, they were all the wives of the official family and they would not take other people's things casually. She didn't care, so she took the people back.
A few days later, Mrs. Ye came to the door in person and got the ruby, but her face was not very good and said, "The thing accidentally fell under the table, and it took a few days to delay. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Shi Luo said politely: "It turns out that I lost it accidentally. The lady did her best to find it. How could I blame her?
Seeing that Shi Luo was really not angry, Mrs. Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Ye is good at chatting, and she can continue any words Shi Luo says.
The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was still harmonious. Shi Luo realized that Mrs. Ye’s family was engaged in the sale of medicinal materials, so she had many common languages with Shi Luo. After the two talked for a while, Mrs. Ye said goodbye.
After Mrs. Ye left.
Shi Luo stared at the ruby in his hand for a while, and suddenly asked Rumeng: "What do you think of Mrs. Ye?"
Ru Meng said: "It's very kind."
"That's all?"
Ru Meng thought, "She has a good relationship with other wives."
Shi Luo nodded and said nothing.
Mrs. Ye is kind and truth. Although she talks to Shi Luo without any leakage, Shi Luo always feels that it is so weird that she can't say anything. It's like Mrs. Ye did her homework before she talked to her, and their chats were more like knowledge questions and answers.
However, if Mrs. Ye deliberately pleased her, there would be nothing, and Shi Luo didn't think much about it.
Shi Luo didn't care much, until a few days later, a group of wives made an appointment to enjoy the flowers. Shi Luo found a very similar ruby on one of them.
Mrs. Ye also saw it, and her face became stiff for a moment. She was worried that Shi Luo would think too much, so she took the opportunity to tell Shi Luo that the ruby that Shi Luo had lost was picked up by her sister.
"My husband died and I had no children. My husband's family could not tolerate it. My parents' family didn't want to go back. I was afraid that others would laugh at her, so I came to join me. A few years ago, I thought to find another good family for her, but she was too strong. Good people looked down on her. The conditions were not good, and she looked down on her. She hadn't found a suitable one over the years. I have been delaying so much. Thinking of the sisterhood, I couldn't say anything. There were only too many pairs of chopsticks on the left and right. She would come to hold a banquet occasionally. That day, she picked up the ruby and went to her to ask for it. But she thought the gem was mine and she said she was hiding her privately, so she didn't want to give it to her..."
Mrs. Ye sighed: "I made the princess laugh. I really couldn't help it, so I went to find a girl with a similar character. The princess forgives her for her crime."
After hearing this, Shi Luo couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ye's sister. She looked very young, only in her twenties, and was born beautifully. She was laughing with the people next to her.
The rubies actually all look similar, and Shi Luo didn't look carefully at that time. He didn't expect that there was such a reason, so he didn't say much.
Mrs. Ye was relieved when she saw that she was not angry.
Everyone ate some snacks, drank the newly picked peach blossom tea, and then joked together. Mrs. Ye's sister was very silly. Except for a few familiar people around her, others didn't like her very much, and there were some disgust and even anger on her face.
This made Shi Luo unable to help but take a few more glances. Mrs. Ye's sister seemed to notice Shi Luo's gaze. She looked back at Shi Luo, then walked over with a wine glass, smiling and said with a hearty look: "Are you the princess? It's true that it's the national beauty and a sign of good life."
Shi Luo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who are you?"
"Mife Qiao, the civilian woman, came with her sister." Because of drinking, Qiao's cheeks were slightly red, making her more charming.
Shi Luo smiled and said nothing. But she noticed that the ladies were looking at this side.
Mrs. Ye scolded: "Xiaolin, what are you doing?"
Qiao said: "I'm just talking to the princess, and my sister is too fussy."
Mrs. Ye frowned and her face was a little heavy.
Shi Luodao: "It's okay."
Qiao Lin walked over with a smile.
Shi Luo didn't think much about it, but since Qiao came, Mrs. Ye had never left, as if she was worried that Qiao would come back.
Shi Luo glanced at him and found that Qiao seemed to be drunk and had been taken away by someone.
After the flower viewing banquet, Mrs. Ye personally sent Shi onto the carriage and left.
In the car, Shi Luo glanced at Rumeng: "What did you just want to say?"
"I want to say that the ruby sent by Mrs. Ye is not as good as the one given by His Highness King Cheng."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Ru Meng said, "After Mrs. Ye sent it, I thought it was the one I had before, so I didn't look at it anymore. It was not until I saw the one from Qiao that I realized that the two were of total value."
Shi lowered his eyes and asked, "What do you think of Mrs. Ye?"
"It's dignified and polite, and looks kind." Ruyue said.
"What about Qiao?"
Ruyue curled her lips: "Every behavior is very slutty."
Ru Meng also said: "Look, many ladies sitting there don't like Qiao."
Shi Luo said: "You can't just look at the surface in everything."
Before today, she had a good impression of Mrs. Ye, but she always felt that Qiao was a bit weird.
In the evening, Shi Luo told Wei Congxi about this matter. Wei Congxi was surprised: "Ye Shoujie is a man with a good reputation in Pingcheng, and he has no outstanding abilities, but he has no mistakes. It's very ordinary. What do you think is wrong?"
Shi Luo shook his head: "I can't say it, I'm always uneasy. Pingcheng is our big rear, and it's close to Quanrong. It's always right to be careful."
Wei Congxi agreed deeply, and Shi Luo was not an unreasonable person. She was very careful. If she thought something was wrong, there must be a reason.
"If you have any doubts, I will leave it to Lan Yu and Tang Feng to investigate." Wei Congxi said.
Shi Luo nodded: "I understand."
With Shi Luo's reminder, Wei Congxi paid more attention to Ye Shoujie and found that he looked like a good man, but some of his subordinates seemed to be afraid of him.
This direction surprised Wei Congxi, and at the same time, he felt that Ye Shoujie was simpler.
Shi Luo is right. Pingcheng is very important. If something happens, it will be a big deal.
