Chapter 220 This lady is all about rules!
Inside the Xishou Courtyard.
Old Madam Shi wore a blue jacket with red Ganoderma lucidum cloud pattern and a pearl headband on her forehead, and looked quite radiant: "Brother, what are you doing here to see the fifth sister?"
Shi Fan sat upright, glanced at the tea served by the maid, and did not take it, but motioned the maid to put the tea on the table: "The prince of the Southwest is coming to Beijing, and a banquet is being held today. Brother wants to invite Lord Jian to the banquet." After
taking office as the anti-gambling ambassador, Shi Fan made three big moves as a new official. This morning alone, he closed down three casinos and collected more than a thousand taels of gambling capital.
It is said that the behind-the-scenes boss of two of the casinos is the Southwest King.
Then at noon, he received an invitation from the prince of the Southwest.
Although he could not give birth to a son, which was equivalent to the destruction of the family, he was also afraid of death!
Translated: Your brother is afraid to go alone and would like to ask Miss Fifth to accompany him.
But Mrs. Shi didn't have the eyesight to hear what Shangshu meant, and she still asked stupidly: "Why do you want to invite the fifth sister to come with you? Erlang and Sanlang have already received posts, why don't eldest brother join Erlang and Sanlang."
The Princess of the Southwest Prince handed the post to the Hou Mansion. Today, the whole family of Jinyang Hou Mansion is going.
Since the eldest brother has lost his son, why not help his nephew?
Shi Fan glanced at Old Lady Shi and decided to make it clear: "Fifth sister, can't you get along well with Fifth Sister?"
Old Lady Shi sat up straight: "Big brother, how come even you are afraid of Fifth Sister?!"
"By the way, Big brother, didn't you say last time that you wanted Fifth Sister to marry into the Shi family? Why haven't you done anything?"
Shi Fan glanced at his sister, "Fifth sister, have you met our great grandmother?"
Old Lady Shi: "?? What great grandmother?"
Old Lady Shi is stubborn, stupid, and evil, but not vicious. She
has never had any murderous intentions towards Fifth Sister.
Shi Fan sighed. No wonder his sister was still thinking about fighting Fifth Sister. It seemed that she had never met Great Grandma.
When she met Great Grandma, she would understand the painstaking efforts of his brother.
"Brother, the Princess Pingnan is my close friend, have you forgotten?" Old Madam Shi was quite proud when she said this, "The Crown Prince's wife sent a maid here on the day she arrived in Beijing. The maid is called Lu Chan, and she's quite capable. Look, she just went to Lu Ming Garden to call for help, and she's back soon!"
Shi Fan was distressed, "Fifth sister, you're letting a wolf into the house! You don't even love your own granddaughter, but you're having an affair with the Princess Pingnan?!"
As she was speaking, Lu Chan came in with a frown on her face.
Old Madam Shi looked at Lu Chan: "Lu Chan, what's going on? Why hasn't the fifth lady come yet?"
Lu Chan: "Old Madam, the fifth lady just got up and is eating. The fifth lady said that after dinner, she would come to tell everyone in person what the rules are!"
"It just so happens that the Minister of Rites is here, let the Minister of Rites take a look at the fifth lady's rules."
The tone was quite weird.
In less than half an incense stick of time, Jian Ruonan came.
The maids in Xishouyuan saw her like mice seeing a cat, and they all avoided her.
Behind Jian Ruonan, there followed a maid playing the suola and a maid playing the erhu. The two stood at the door and began to passionately play "Chizha Fengyun".
Jian Ruonan, holding her imperial sword, walked into Xishouyuan with a step that did not recognize any relatives.
In the atmosphere of music, she was very proud.
When Mrs. Shi saw the Imperial Sword, her eyelids twitched: "Fifth sister, what are you going to do?!"
Jian Ruonan smiled and looked at Lu Chan: "This maid said that there is no discipline in our Jinyang Marquis Mansion. Today, I will teach her what is discipline!"
Jian Ruonan handed the Imperial Sword to the maid behind her, put on gloves, and "wow" over the table in front of Lu Chan!
The things on the table fell down and almost hit Lu Chan's feet.
Lu Chan: ! !
Are you so fierce? !
"How can you disrespect your elders and overturn the table in Grandmother's room?! I will go to the deceased princess to seek justice later!"
"Which eye of yours saw me being disrespectful to my elders?!" Jian Ruonan took off her gloves and clapped her hands. She looked around, "Why is no one cheering?"
Suddenly, there were sparse noises in the room. The maids and old women in the Xishou Courtyard whispered, "Well done."
Jian Ruonan: "Grandmother, what do you think?"
The old lady: "..... It was a neat overturn."
"I overturned the table by order of the emperor!" Jian Ruonan pushed the imperial edict in front of Lu Chan.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the maids and old women in the room knelt on the ground, and Lu Chan stood there stupidly.
"Lu Chan, you are so bold that you dare to disrespect the imperial edict!" Jian Ruonan: "Someone, drag her away and slap her!"
Lu Chan's eyes widened.
Although she is a favorite of the Princess of the Southwest, she can't escape if the Fifth Miss wants to beat her.
Lu Chan looked at Old Lady Shi for help, "Old Madam."
Jian Ruonan looked at the old lady, "Grandma, the Princess of the Southwest asked this little maid to come to see you, but this little maid not only came to see you and make fun of you, but also provoked the relationship between us. Let your granddaughter teach her a lesson."
"Let this maid see that the relationship between us is stronger than gold!"
Old Lady Shi: "..."
"Grandma, do you think your granddaughter is right or wrong?" Jian Ruonan stretched out her hand, and the maid behind her immediately handed over the imperial sword.
Jian Ruonan held the imperial sword and looked at the old lady with a smile.
Old Lady Shi: "......Yes."
Lu Chan: "......"
Lu Chan turned to look at Minister Shi.
Shi Fan: "The fifth young lady is a very well-behaved person, and His Majesty is full of praise for her."
Lu Chan: "......"
Jian Ruonan: "Did you hear that? This young lady is both virtuous and talented, how can you, a little maid, say anything about her!"
"Drag her out and beat her mouth!"
"Xiao Yu, you come and beat her!"
The maid from Lu Ming Xiao Yuan rushed in, covered Lu Chan's mouth and dragged her out.
After a while, the sound of slapping could be heard in the yard.
In the entire Jinyang Marquis's Mansion, the Fifth Miss's words were the rules.
~
The vassal prince had a house in the capital. Every year on the Wanshou Festival, the prince would go to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the Wanshou Lord. The Wanshou Festival was in April. The prince of the Southwest sent his sister to the capital so early to ask the emperor for a marriage.
A concubine's daughter recognized the name of the princess and wanted to ask the emperor to marry the prince and become the prince's principal wife.
In the main room, the princess of the Southwest Prince was wearing a gold-threaded jacket and a phoenix crown on her head, and was combing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Prince, what are you so happy about?"
The Prince of Southwest wore a red straight-sleeved gown and a piece of black jade tied around his waist. "The Third Prince has already agreed on it."
"The tenth sister is lucky enough. Although Concubine Xian has passed away, there is still a Queen Mother. The tenth sister is very blessed." The Crown Prince's wife held a stack of replies in her hand: "The ladies in the capital are so timid. They are either sick or busy and none of them come."
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "There are still some brave ones."
"Who?" The Crown Prince's wife raised her head.
"Shi Fan, the Minister of Rites, the newly appointed anti-gambling officer, has seized two casinos of this prince today." The Prince of Southwest gritted his teeth and said, "Minister Shi has to attend the banquet today!"
The Princess covered her mouth and laughed, "That's really brave. Is Madam Shi coming?"
The Prince of Southwest said, "Madam Shi is not coming. I heard that the one who came with him is the fifth lady of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion."
The Princess stood up with the help of the maid, raised her hand to adjust the phoenix crown on her head, "Oh? I have heard of the fifth lady's name for a long time. Today is a good time to meet her."
The Princess looked at the maid beside her, "By the way, has Lu Chan come back?"
The maid said, "My Lady, Lu Chan has just been sent back, and his face is bruised!"
"Miss Fifth is really brave, daring to touch the people of this prince's wife!"
