The purpose of Mrs. Shangshu is actually very simple. She just wants to deliberately embarrass Xi Qingyan.

Since her daughter Xi Chuyu's plan to beat Xi Qingyan failed, then she, as a mother, should naturally use more sophisticated means to control Xi Qingyan.

Xi Qingyan was the head of the house for the first time. Although she had repaid the monthly payment to the Shangshu Mansion last month, Mrs. Shangshu knew how much money the Shangshu Mansion still had.

She has been in charge of the family for so many years, and she has always been demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.

In her opinion, Xi Qingyan can deal with the monthly crisis of Shangshu Mansion this time, and it will most likely be Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry!

In this case, she let Xi Qingyan squander all her mother's dowry!

"Xi Qingyan, I am your mother after all. I won't let you, a child, have to work hard all day long. I will take care of the wardrobe for this Qiqiao Festival."

Mrs. Shangshu's calculations were reflected in her face.

How could Xi Qingyan not understand?

"No, ma'am, I won't bother you with this matter. Isn't it just about getting ready for the Qiao Qiao Festival? Madam can make a list, and I'll send someone to take care of this little thing."

Xi Qingyan dismissed Mrs. Shangshu's words lightly.

"You sent someone to organize it? Xi Qingyan, do you know how important the Qiqiao Festival is in Kyoto?"

"Our dynasty has been fighting for many years and the population is not prosperous. Your Majesty hopes that through this begging festival, men and women of the right age can have a wonderful opportunity to meet each other!"

"On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, the government officials will set up five Qiaoqiao banquets on the streets of Kyoto. These are all for private men and women to have a sexual occasion."

"At that time, the noble ladies in Kyoto and the young ladies in Kyoto who have no marriage leave will go to the banquet prepared by the ladies in the harem!"

"Do you know what kind of sedan we, as the family members of the Minister of Etiquette, will take to enter the palace on the day of the Qiqiao Festival? Do you know what color and pattern of kerchiefs we will bring? What kind of spices will be smoked on our bodies? What kind of brocade clothes will we wear?"

Gorgeous clothes?"

When Mrs. Shangshu saw that Xi Qingyan was disobeying her, she felt displeased, so she slapped Xi Qingyan in the face.

"Xi Qingyan, you are a fledgling daughter, I am here to teach you, don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

Xi Qingyan smiled.

The expression on Xi Qingyan's face had always been calm, but when Mrs. Shangshu threatened her, Xi Qingyan actually smiled.

"You...why are you laughing?"

When Mrs. Shangshu's general, Xi Qingyan, was not frightened by her and instead laughed, she was suddenly confused. In order to prevent herself from losing her majesty, she questioned Xi Qingyan in a low-spirited manner.

"Xi Qingyan, you have to know that you are not only losing your own people, but also the face of our Shangshu Mansion!"

"Madam, don't worry, I'm not your daughter Xi Chuyu, and I won't let Shangshu Mansion be embarrassed on such an occasion. As long as no one deliberately causes trouble for me, I believe I can handle this matter well."

"After all, Madam, you didn't know the standard etiquette of Kyoto's Qiao Qiao Festival as soon as you became the head of the Ministry of Etiquette!"

Xi Qingyan sent Madam Shangshu away directly with a few words.

"Everyone has a first time. For me, it means that I need to study the rules and regulations of the Qiqiao Festival. For Madam, you should adapt to the fact that you will no longer be in charge of the Shangshu Mansion!"

"you……!"

Mrs. Shangshu was extremely angry at Xi Qingyan's words.

Xi Qingyan is really too lawless! How could she say such things to the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion!

"My eldest lady, I still have a lot of things to deal with today, please come and send the second lady and my wife to the Peony Garden!"

Xi Qingyan didn't want to see the crowd in front of her at all, so she directly asked people to send them away.

Then he pulled Chuntao into the room and threw a jade porcelain vase into Chuntao's arms.

"Miss...?"

Chuntao was beaten by the eldest lady’s actions

He was caught off guard, and for a moment he didn't understand what Xi Qingyan intended.

"What's in this bottle is medicine. Applying it to your face can not only activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but also reduce swelling. You are the maid of Hanliyuan. If you go out with a swollen face, others will definitely laugh at you.

of."

After Chuntao understood Xi Qingyan's intention, her face was filled with smiles.

"Will not!"

"I am the eldest lady, they dare not laugh at me! As long as the eldest lady is here, I, Chuntao, will have someone to rely on and I will not be bullied!"

Today, the eldest lady directly beat the second lady in order to avenge her.

Chuntao was shocked by the eldest lady's behavior. At that moment, she believed that no matter what happened to her, the eldest lady would avenge her.

"Miss, Chuntao is going to apply the medicine right now. Once I've applied the medicine, I'll do something for you, miss!"

Chuntao ran away quickly.

Xi Qingyan was also helpless about Chuntao's thoughts.

"No, you just have a good rest in Hanlian Garden. After all, on the day of Qiqiao Festival, you have to accompany me to the palace banquet."

"There are so many people in Hanliyuan. Since they are all my Xi Qingyan's people, there is no reason to just take monthly money and not work!"

"Yes, Miss!"

In Hanlian Garden, the master and the servants cooperate very well. Read the book

In the Peony Garden, Xi Chuyu and her daughter, who had not reaped any benefits, were holding back their anger.

Mrs. Shangshu, who rarely gets angry, even smashed all the teacups in her yard after returning to her yard!

"Mother, is it possible that this matter has just been settled? My daughter is unwilling to give in! How can that *** Xi Qingyan keep oppressing our mother and daughter?"

Xi Chuyu saw her returning without success today, and the anger in her stomach became more and more accumulated.

"Won't."

"I finally became the head mistress of the House of Ministers of Rites in Kyoto. How could I let Xi Qingyan take away the power of the head of the house?"

After Mrs. Shangshu dropped the tea cup, she had an idea in her mind.

"Mother, do you already know how to deal with Xi Qingyan?"

"Chu Yu, who do you think is the real master in our Shangshu Mansion?"

Madam Shangshu did not answer her daughter's words, but instead asked Xi Chuyu a question. Knowing that her mother had an idea, Xi Chuyu happily embraced Madam Shangshu's arm.

"Of course it's you, mother. You are the unshakable mistress of our Shangshu Mansion!"

"Wrong, the real master of the Shangshu Mansion is your father!"

"Chu Yu, please don't apply any medicine on the slap on your face. When your father comes back from the court later, we, mother and daughter, will join forces and use your father's hands to pull Xi Qingyan off the horse!"

"Okay, I will listen to you, mother!"

Mrs. Shangshu and her daughter had made up their minds. Mr. Xi had just come down from the court, and before he could take a sip of tea or take a rest, Xi Chuyu came to Mr. Xi with her slapped face in front of him.

.

"Daddy..."

This sentence of father's shouting was particularly aggrieved. When Mr. Xi saw the slap marks on his second daughter's face, he immediately became unhappy.

"What happened to your face? Who hit you?"

"This is the residence of the Minister of Rites. Who dares to do something to my daughter?"

When Mr. Xi was furious, Mrs. Shangshu just walked in from the door, crying as she walked.

"Master, this life is really unbearable! Master, I and Chu Yu no longer have any dignity in this family. How can we live like this when we are slapped for just saying a word or two!"

"

"Master, otherwise you'd better divorce me! Then I don't want anything, so just give Chu Yu to me. Even if I take Chu Yu out to beg for food, it's better than being bullied in Shangshu Mansion!"

Mrs. Shangshu, mother and son, were weeping and wiping their tears. They cried and said.

"Madam, are you saying that the injuries on Chu Yu's face were inflicted by people from our Shangshu Mansion? Who dares

If you let him come out after treating my daughter like this, I want to see who he is!"

"Father, the one who hit me was none other than my eldest sister, Xi Qingyan."

"Today, my mother and I went to the eldest sister's Hanlian Garden. Because the Qiqiao Festival is coming, my mother and I also need to buy clothes to attend the Qiqiao Festival banquet in the palace. The eldest sister is now the housekeeper of the family. We

The mother and daughter wanted to tell her about this, but she didn't say anything and just slapped me!"

"Daddy, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Dad, when Xi Qingyan was the housekeeper, you said that all expenses in the house must be reported to Xi Qingyan. Today I told her in a nice and angry manner, but she did this to me!"

Xi Chuyu's words made Mr. Xi frown. Mrs. Shangshu knew that this was a sign of her husband's displeasure, so she calmly added fuel to the fire.

"Sir, I am getting old. I originally thought that you would like Xi Qingyan's ability as the head of the family, so I took the initiative and relieved myself of the burden of supporting the family."

"But Qingyan is really too young, not thoughtful enough in what she does, and she treats her own siblings so lightly!"

"Look at how she slapped Chu Yu's face. Could it be that she was jealous of Chu Yu's face, so she hit her so hard?"

"Sir, if Chu Yu becomes a terrifying and ugly monster like Qing Yan, we, the Minister of Rites, will really be doomed!"
