Although the voices of several people were very low, the coachman still heard them. Li Jiaoniang had good ears and heard some.

Both of them looked at those people.

Especially the coachman, he has a bad face.

Mrs. Tian, ​​Mrs. Sang, and Ying Niang didn't hear it clearly, but when they saw the women looking here, they were obviously gossiping.

The faces of the three of them immediately sank.

Ying Niang picked up the curtain of the carriage first, and Niang Tian and Niang Sang helped Li Jiaoni and sat in the carriage together.

The coachman raised his whip and left arrogantly.

A burst of dust rose.

Those women who are talking, look at me, look at you.

One of them said, "Oh, why is that coachman so arrogant?"

"You are so brave. You dare to chew on Mrs. Hengyang's affairs in front of Mrs. Hengyang's servants. This lady is not easy to mess with!" Another lady said in a low voice, looking solemn.

The person who spoke first asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Several other people who didn't speak looked at this person together.

The man said, "Mrs. Hengyang is higher in seniority than the official family. It is said that Mrs. Hengyang also helped the official family succeed to the throne. If it weren't for the poor health of Hengyang, now one person is below one person and above ten thousand people, it would be Hengyang."

"Oh, it turns out that there is such a reason." The other people suddenly realized.

The man said again, "Although the Hengyang Duke fell ill and could not be an official in the court, Mrs. Hengyang is not an ordinary weak woman."

“…”

"She is familiar with history and is well-versed in economic and political affairs. She has some difficulty in making decisions and often asks her."

Several people suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

The man sneered again, "Even the officials are in awe of her. You all dare to chew on her topic in front of the servants in her house?"

“…”

"If her servant recognizes you, be careful. Maybe the official family will find some excuses to punish your people."

The person who was talking, when he thought of the coachman staring at them with bad eyes just now, he was so scared that he held his breath.

They looked at each other and took their maids and mother-in-law to scatter.

It's about to go as far as to escape.

After everyone was finished, the man said to himself, "It's strange. Why did Miss Li look so much like Mrs. Hengyang just now?"

.

The carriage left the hill where Qingshan Temple was located, and then walked around a forest of woods. Then he saw a large village lying quietly beside a pond in front of him.

Zhuangzi Gate is a tall white marble archway with several large vermilion characters written on the beam: Furong Villa.

At the entrance of the villa, there were two large stone lions lying.

In ancient times, the hierarchy was very strict, and the size of the house door showed the level of the owner's identity.

Li Jiaoni has learned the story of the Hengyang lady from Zhao Cong, Zhao Guitian and others.

The identity of Mrs. Hengyang is on par with Empress Dowager Wei. Duke Hengyang once helped Emperor Gaozong ascend the throne, so Mrs. Hengyang has a little prestige in the court.

Although she didn't show up very much, as soon as she appeared, no one dared to disrespect her. Even Empress Dowager Wei was afraid of her three points.

Empress Dowager Wei was born in a poor family, had been a maid and a concubine. If she had not given birth to Emperor Gaozong, she would not have been the queen mother.

Mrs. Hengyang is the descendant of a famous family and the daughter of the Chai family with the gold medal in avoiding death.

He has read a lot of books since childhood and has received teachings from a female master.

Of course she is not afraid of Empress Dowager Wei.

How could a woman with such a high status be interested in a peasant woman? Li Jiaoniang couldn't figure it out.

The carriage walked into the archway, walked half a mile away, and arrived in front of the gate of the village.

On the lintel of the gate, four large vermilion lanterns hung with Hengyang and Furong Villa on them.

The door was wide open and the carriage drove straight in.

I walked to the main hall inside before the carriage stopped.

Li Jiaoni was supported by Niang Tian and walked off the carriage.

Outside the car, four servants in their thirties were waiting there.

When she saw Li Jiaoniang, her eyes were trembling, but after a while, she smiled and asked Li Jiaoniang for peace, "Miss Li has worked hard all the way."

"Where is the lady now?" Yingniang, who answered Li Jiaoni, asked one of the servants."

"In Yinghe Garden." The servant said.

Yinghe Garden?

Li Jiaoni blinked and thought of the old house in her imperial capital in her previous life.

In her previous life, the room she lived in was called Yingheyuan.

At that time, she liked lotus flowers very much. Her father in her previous life decorated her house into an ancient boudoir. On the lintel of the room door, there was a peach wood plaque with the words "Yingheyuan".

"Okay, I understand." Yingniang nodded and said to Li Jiaoniang again, "Madam is in a garden in the back house, I will take you to see her."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Okay."

Passing through the hibiscus trees, we come to a small garden.

There are three houses in the garden.

The garden is small and unique.

Li Jiaoni, Miss Tian, ​​and Miss Sang followed Yingniang into the main hall in the garden.

Mrs. Hengyang was ordering tea in person. When she saw Li Jiaoniang coming, she smiled and nodded, "Come on? Let's sit down first, I'm ordering tea, it's going to be done soon, let's have tea and chat." She called the maid beside her, "Go and prepare some fruit snacks."

The maid responded and went down.

Li Jiaoniang sat down in the guest seat.

Niangzi Tian and Niangzi Sang stood beside her and accompanied her.

Hidden in Li Jiaoni's skirt, the small gray-haired roll ball holding her calves, stretching her claws restlessly, scratching her calves.

Although I was wearing pants, I felt uncomfortable being scratched by my claws through the cloth, right?

Li Jiaoniang wanted to lift her legs and throw this disobedient little thing out.

Zhao Cong came to the house for dinner last night and forgot to take the little guy away.

She walked through the door this morning and it was dependent on her.

Thinking that this guy was probably listening to everyone's genius in the palace, she felt tired of hearing it, so she took it out of the city to relax.

I told it not to cause trouble. If it was discovered by Mrs. Hengyang’s people, they would throw it away.

But it forgot again?

Li Jiaoniang raised her right foot and kicked the small gray-haired roll ball on her left calf, indicating that it would be quieter.

But this little thing was disobedient and actually came out of her skirt and ran away with a squirt.

Li Jiaoni, “…”

Damn, if you cause trouble, see how she cleans up this little thing!

Mrs. Hengyang is strange and not easy to get along with.

Li Jiaoni looked around and found that the two maids of Mrs. Hengyang in the house were watching Mrs. Hengyang's tea, but no one looked at her. Mrs. Hengyang was concentrating on making tea and had no time to distract herself.

Li Jiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one noticed that the little gray-haired rolled the ball away.

The tea-making time is long and more exquisite, and it takes two to half an hour.

Just as Li Jiaoniang was waiting for Mrs. Hengyang’s tea to order her, the little gray-haired rolled ball ran back.

Li Jiaoniang: “…”

She was about to complain, but cursed him in her heart. The voice of the little gray-haired roll ball trembled and suddenly said, "There are dead people, like the girl, here."

Li Jiaoni, "..." She suddenly had a bad face. You, can you say some auspicious words during the Chinese New Year? You are just dead, just like you!
