Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard
Chapter 144 Housewarming
Zhao Yuanzhen walked towards the door with her two daughters-in-law.
"May I ask if Madam has a visiting card?"
The gatekeeper looked at them and asked politely.
Some people queuing nearby were also looking at Zhao Yuanzhen and his group.
"I don't have a visiting card."
Before Zhao Yuanlan finished speaking, a sneer came from the side.
"How dare you come and join in the fun without a visiting card?"
Zhao Yuanlan took a look and saw that it was a rather young lady, covered in gold, silver and jade jewellery, which was quite dazzling.
Ignore her.
"I'm Zhao Yuanlan's sister. He didn't send me a visiting card yesterday."
"So it's the young lady who's back. It's all my fault for being blind. Please come in quickly. The master has already told us that there's no need to announce the young lady's return."
When the servant heard that it was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, he quickly led her into the mansion.
This mansion covers a large area. At first glance, pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner; carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent; rockery is everywhere, quiet and elegant; and flowers, plants and trees are dotted around.
After walking for more than 10 minutes, we finally reached the main hall, where there were already some guests.
Seeing her from a distance, Zhao Yuanlan came over.
"Little sister, you are here, come with me into the house."
"Okay, big brother."
"Hello, uncle."
Zhang Xinnian and his companions bowed and greeted them, then followed with gifts in hand.
"Well, okay, come inside."
He led a few people into the house and had them sit at the tables and chairs in the front row.
Zhang Xinbai and others handed the gifts to the butler beside them.
Several people in the hall saw Zhao Yuanlan going to greet them personally, but they didn't know who was this lady with such high status. Some of them who had seen Zhao Yuanzhen in the court hurried over to say hello.
“Jin-sook is nice.”
"Hello, sir."
Anyway, Zhao Yuanzhen didn’t know them either, they were all adults.
The housekeeper looked at Zhao Yuanlan with the gift in his hand.
When giving gifts, you can view the gifts in front of the guests, or you can put them away directly.
Zhao Yuanlan nodded.
The butler asked the servant to hold the gifts and began to open them one by one.
There were cards on the gifts with names on them.
"Miss Zhao, I'm sending you a set of enamel bone china tableware!"
After reading it, open it, take out the gift and place it on the table for everyone to see.
Then he opened the second gift.
"Miss Zhao, I'll give you a set of enamel tea sets!"
"Miss Zhao, I'll give you a horse to succeed in your mission."
"Miss Zhao, I'll give you a silver gourd of Hundred Blessings."
"Miss Zhao, I'll give you a golden elephant."
"Miss Zhao, I'll give you a pot of silver-glazed orchid."
Bring them all out for everyone to see.
The guests who originally thought that their gifts were the best felt that theirs were outdone after seeing the gifts Zhao Yuanzhen was preparing.
Especially this pot of orchid, if the housekeeper hadn’t mentioned the silver glaze, everyone would have thought it was real.
Several people in the hall watched carefully.
Zhao Yuanzhen chatted for a while and then went to the backyard.
The female guests were all in the backyard, with their two daughters-in-law.
In the yard at the backyard, a troupe was performing an opera. They found a good spot and the three of them drank tea and listened to the opera.
I used to not understand why the older generation liked opera, they were all babbling and I couldn’t understand them. Later I realized it was because they were not old enough and the genes in their bones had not yet awakened.
Now Zhao Yuanzhen has reached the age where she likes to listen to opera.
Nothing to do, just sit there and listen.
Li Zhijuan and Qian Xiaohui were going to the toilet, so Bai Wei and Bai Zhi accompanied them.
After a while, the two came back in a hurry, with obvious anxiety on their faces.
"What's going on here?"
Zhao Yuanzhen quickly stood up and helped the person over.
"Mom, Zhijuan and I just went to the toilet, and when we walked to the garden, we heard someone talking. We didn't take it seriously at first, but they seemed to be talking about my uncle, so I listened. It seemed that they said that they had bribed someone in my uncle's house to take my uncle to the wing room, and she would wait there, so that my uncle would have to marry her."
???
A classic plot of house fighting and frame-up.
Once again, I sigh that art really comes from life.
"Did you see who it was?"
"We didn't see anything, but we knew there were two women, who looked like mother and son. We didn't dare to listen to any more, so we hurried back to report to our mother."
"Well, you did a great job. Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it. You two just stay here and watch the show. I'll go look around and check it out."
"Okay, Mom. You be careful too."
"Well, don't worry, Bai Wei, Bai Zhi, take good care of the two young ladies."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Zhao Yuanzhen arranged everything for them, she headed towards the toilet.
But when I passed by the garden, there was no one there and they left.
Not surprising. While waiting for the feast, just keep an eye on Zhao Yuanlan.
After another stroll, I didn't find anything, so I went to meet up with Qian Xiaohui and the others.
After a while, the banquet began.
The male and female guests were not in the same place, so Zhao Yuanzhen had to turn on the scanner and scan Zhao Yuanlan all the time.
Sure enough, not long after the meal started, Zhao Yuanlan left the table.
Zhao Yuanzhen gave some instructions to Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan, and then followed them.
She was not familiar with Zhao Yuanlan's residence, so she had to follow Zhao Yuanlan as scanned by the system.
After walking for a while, they caught up with him without making a sound. When they were about to reach the door of a room, Zhao Yuanzhen came out, knocked the servant unconscious with a knife, and then signaled Zhao Yuanlan to be quiet.
He picked up the servant and threw him into the room.
Then Zhao Yuanzhen pulled Zhao Yuanlan and hid aside.
About five minutes later, someone came.
Skillful.
I know the person who came.
Miss Song.
Miss Song looked around, pushed open the door and went in. Then she realized something was wrong and opened the door to come out.
Zhao Yuanzhen also knocked her out while she wasn't paying attention, and threw Miss Song onto the bed next to the servant.
There was a strong scent in the room.
After identifying it, it turned out to be aphrodisiac incense.
He quickly pulled Zhao Yuanlan out and closed the door.
Zhao Yuanlan now understood what was going on, and his face turned grim. He couldn't believe that a young lady from a noble family could do such a dirty, despicable and humiliating thing.
"Little sister, what should we do now?"
"Find a place to hide, don't show up, and let them finish this show."
"Okay, I'll go back to my room then."
"Well, let's go."
Zhao Yuanzhen returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened.
Mrs. Song was quite patient and didn't start the performance until more than ten minutes later.
"Why hasn't my daughter come back yet? I'm afraid she got lost in the huge General's Mansion. I have to go look for her."
He pretended to go out with his servants to look for it, and came back after a few minutes.
In a hurry.
"I've looked everywhere, but I can't find my daughter. Please help me find her."
Since everyone has nothing to do, they just accompany her to act out the play and see who will be the male lead in the play.
They are all ladies and young ladies from the backyard. They are all smart. How could they not understand the play performed by Madam Song?
Everyone started looking for him, and Madam Song also called them together. Why hasn't this servant come to show us the way?
Zhao Yuanzhen saw Mrs. Song waiting for the servant.
The servant can't come, so you have to perform the opera by yourself.
I searched for a while, but didn't find it.
Mrs. Song had no choice but to act on her own.
"I haven't found it either. Could it be in some room? Why don't you all follow me to look for a room?"
"It should."
"We went together."
This general's mansion doesn't have a hostess, the general is not married, and has no parents, otherwise Madam Song would not have succeeded like this.
Mrs. Song took many twists and turns and led everyone to Miss Song's room.
"My daughter, where are you? Please answer me!"
As he said that, he pushed open the door.
"Ahhh!!!"
Mrs. Song saw the situation in the room and wanted to close the door quickly.
But in order to catch Zhao Yuanlan in the act, she had asked two ladies to stand by the door together.
Now everyone saw it.
Zhao Yuanzhen walked out of the crowd.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Ms. Zhao, this Madam Song is looking for Miss Song. She said she wanted to search the room. We were afraid that Madam Song would do something out of line, so we followed her here. We didn't expect Miss Song to be in the room. It's just..."
The lady who was explaining pointed to the room, looking as if she was having trouble speaking.
Zhao Yuanzhen pulled the person away and opened the door.
I saw Miss Song and the servant boy performing the Zhougong ceremony. It seemed that they were not awake yet and didn't care about the people watching at all.
The others took a look and hurriedly covered their eyes, turned their heads away, and ordered the maids to take all the young ladies in the house away.
See most of them saw it.
Zhao Yuanzhen closed the door again. She didn't want anyone to get stye.
"Someone, go find my eldest brother."
"Yes, ma'am."
The servant hurried to find Zhao Yuanlan. After more than 10 minutes, Zhao Yuanlan came over with the housekeeper and servants.
"Little sister, what's wrong?"
"Brother, this... Miss Song and the servants in the mansion... are in the room."
Zhao Yuanzhen looked as if she couldn't speak.
Zhao Yuanlan looked at the door with a dark face.
"Mrs. Song, what do you think we should do?"
Mrs. Song was already scared out of her wits. How could it become like this? If the master knew, he would beat her to death.
Today I am preparing for what the master might do. If it is exposed, the master will be laughed at to death. With the master's temper, in order to preserve his reputation, he will inevitably beat his daughter to death and himself.
Which one went wrong?
Could it be that this damn servant wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful and deliberately went in?
Yes, that's for sure.
"General Zhao, the servant in your house bullied my daughter. You must give me an explanation today. Otherwise, I will sue you. It must be you who ordered this."
Mrs. Song didn't care anymore. She just wanted to throw away as many people as possible. General Zhao had to give her family some compensation.
"Mrs. Song, I advise you to be careful with your words. You should know that the mouth can cause trouble."
Zhao Yuanlan stood from one side to the other.
"What happened in your house, do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"
"The whole world belongs to the king. Do you mean this matter has something to do with the emperor?"
"That's not what I meant, but General Zhao is definitely involved in today's incident. If you don't give us an explanation, I will take my daughter and die in your house today. I won't live anymore. The General's Mansion is bullying us."
Mrs. Song started crying and shouting, acting like a shrew.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Yuanzhen rolled her eyes.
"System, is there anything that makes people tell the truth?"
"Host, I have a truth talisman, but it only lasts for a quarter of an hour. 100 points."
A quarter of an hour? That's enough.
"Two please."
"Yes, host."
Looking at Mrs. Song who was as unafraid of boiling water as a dead pig, Zhao Yuanzhen decided that the show would be more interesting if more people came to watch.
"Someone, go and invite Lord Song and the other guests, and ask them to help serve as witnesses."
At this moment, all the guests present were female ladies and ladies.
Zhao Yuanzhen thought that since Mrs. Song wanted to perform, she should help her build a big stage.
