Chapter 302 Red Cloud
"Nonsense!" The third master of the Murong family roared, and the sound of the tea bowl being smashed was very loud. The third wife had always been favored, and it seemed that this was the first time that the third master spoke to the third wife like this.
Murong Jing's hand couldn't help but pause, and the needle tip pricked her finger. A red bead of blood oozed out from her slender finger, which looked particularly glaring in contrast to her snow-white skin.
She put her finger into her mouth and gently sucked off the blood bead. When she was almost done, she put away the needle, took the embroidery frame and walked lightly to the window. Facing the light, she looked at the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the embroidery.
Her embroidery skills are good, but there is still a big gap compared to Sister Xian. However, compared to Helan Yue, she is much better than her.
Matters between the master and the mistress were not her business, and she would not take the initiative to intervene.
Anyway, the Third Wife is not her biological mother.
If he found out that she was eavesdropping, who knows how he would torture her in secret!
After the Third Wife gave birth to Murong Jin, she only cared about her, the original wife's daughter, for the sake of face. She put on an ignorant face, but in fact her heart was as clear as a mirror.
Isn't it just a son? Let's see how long she can be so proud!
Although Murong Jing is just a teenager, she actually holds a grudge.
Ever since her father remarried, she called him father in person, but in her heart she only called him the Third Master. She also naturally called her stepmother the Third Madam. In front of others, she dropped the "Third" character.
Not long after "Daohuaxiang" opened, Helan Yue came home to talk about it, chirping like a little sparrow. The Third Madam also sent her maid to see it, and she also went there in person with Sister Xian.
At first, although the third wife was amazed and felt extremely envious and jealous, she did not dare to have any idea of taking over the shop.
After all, the Murong family has high hopes for their eldest cousin, so they naturally would not try to seize his property.
As the second wife, the Third Wife was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Murong family, which shows that she is not the kind of person who cannot be judged by her appearance.
However, there has been no news from my cousin for dozens of days.
The people sent to Kyoto could not contact him, and even his servants could not get any information. The powerful circles in Kyoto were very reluctant to even mention the name of my cousin.
The third wife had been coveting her eldest cousin's shop for a long time. When she saw that her eldest cousin was missing, she became interested in it.
But, she probably hasn't found a replacement yet.
If the plan, which had been made for a long time, fell into the hands of the eldest aunt, the third wife would probably be vomiting to death.
Murong Jing thought unkindly as she looked at the color of the mandarin duck's feathers in the sunlight while listening carefully to the increasingly excited quarrel between the Third Master and the Third Mistress coming from next door.
This sound is very pleasant!
…
Doctor Xiao Hu and Linghua are buying New Year's goods.
Doctor Hu not only bought her own New Year's goods, but also asked Linghua to give her advice on buying a New Year's gift for Xia Yujiao. However, several items proposed by Linghua, such as food and rouge and powder, were rejected by Doctor Hu.
They were not afraid of the cold or being tired, and walked slowly on Liuxiang Street. Finally, Doctor Hu selected a jade hairpin. The jade was shiny and crystal clear, engraved with a pattern of snow-capped plum blossoms, inlaid with rubies as petals, and gold beads as stamens. The stamens would tremble slightly when they walked, which was very delicate.
That day, the two of them went to the slum where the Xia family lived.
It happened that Xia Daohua and her servants were delivering New Year's goods to an elderly couple in the slum, and by chance she witnessed Doctor Hu taking out a brocade box and clumsily giving the gift to her aunt.
The old couple were very pleased, but the little aunt blushed and shyly hid in the house.
Cleaning is a big project... I am still very tired today, and I should resume normal updates tomorrow. Good night, sweet dreams, and see you tomorrow. ^_^ Love you, (づ￣ 3￣)づ
