Chapter 166 Insue

The ninth sister held the first-class wolf pen and slowly wrote on the spread rice paper, listening to the seal's report on some recent accounts in the house. Her eyebrows tightened, and there was always an unflinching cloud of sadness between her eyebrows.

"You go down first!" The ninth sister sighed and put down the pen. Practicing calligraphy is practicing the heart, and practicing the heart is also practicing calligraphy. Now that she can't calm down, she can't practice this word well.

With a "squeak", Feng's mother pushed the door and entered.

"Have the rumors outside stopped recently?" Sister Jiu asked lightly.

"No, although it has been more than ten days, those rumors are still getting worse and worse." Feng's mother was vaguely worried.

Sister Jiu frowned a little deeper, "Let those rumors continue to spread, and they will always spread to the emperor!"

"Ninth sister, you..." Feng's mother doesn't know what Jiujie is going to do. According to reason, even a little rumor can damage the sound of a woman who has not come out of the cabinet. People's words are terrible, but the ninth sister doesn't seem to be worried. No, Sister Jiu is worried, and the expression on her face is faintly worried.

In this case, why did Sister Jiu let go of those rumors?

"What do you have from the old lady?" Sister Jiu shook her head and stopped thinking about gossip. The more she thought about those pickled things, the more annoyed she became.

"Look at what the old lady means, she wants the third sister to marry to Prince Yi's mansion." Feng's mother's words are a little frustrated. After all, these servants are now attached to the ninth sister. If the ninth sister is not doing well, their life will not be good in the future.

Nine's fists tightened, and then she loosened and sucked her nose. The second wife did so much, just for the third sister's marriage. It's just that the hardships I have suffered over the years are not so easy to forget.

"The marriage of the third sister!" The ninth sister muttered to herself, as if she had any plans, but this time, it was really difficult to do something to the third sister. A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of my heart and filled my whole body.

"You can accompany me to meet Mr. and Mrs. Marco!" Sister Jiu's voice is not very tired.

Mother Feng nodded and suddenly felt that the burden on the ninth sister was very heavy, but she didn't understand that although the ninth sister had no marriage, the status of the house in Xue's house was only second to the old lady. Now I'm afraid that even the second wife can't shake the ninth sister's status in Xue's house, but why is the ninth sister worried and what is she worried about?

When the rich flowers bloom, the ninth sister ordered a cup of Mo | Lihuaxiang milk tea. Mr. Marco is a talent. Since tea can also be concocted with flowers, the milk tea can also add some flower flavors, so now these milk tea is not a single tea fragrance. The milk tea placed next to her now is Mo | Lihua's fragrance.

After all, Mr. Marco is a missionary. He has many opportunities to contact the emperor every year. Now that there is a rich pastry shop, the emperor occasionally invites Mr. Marco to make some delicious pastry milk tea to give to the imperial concubines in the palace. Therefore, it can be seen that the emperor has more and more opportunities. Even Mrs. Marco can often go to the palace.

"Nine, you came to the shop. What a rare guest!" As soon as Mrs. Marco heard that Xuefu's ninth sister came to the shop, she hurried out. Mrs. Marco couldn't say how much she liked this little girl. Although she is a little young, she really wants to pinch the ninth sister's face.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Marco's slender hand pinched the ninth sister's face.

The ninth sister was absent-minded, but she was much more cheerful when she was done by Mrs. Marco.

"Well--wow--" Sister Jiu's cheeks were pinched red by Mrs. Marco, and she couldn't even speak. Looking at the red appearance of the ninth sister, Mrs. Marco likes it more and more.

Sister Jiu quickly took Mrs. Marco's hand and gasped a few times, "Mrs. Marco, why do you pinch my face every time you see me? There is no meat on my face."

Mrs Marco quickly regained her reservedness, holding a white feather fan in her hand to cover her mouth, and said with a smile, "I just want to see how sad the face of such a small child looks. I really don't understand..."

Sister Jiu is dumbfounded. Isn't she smiling well enough?

Mother Feng was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Why didn't she find that Mrs. Marco was so out of tune before? If she was seen so unruly, I don't know what those people would think. Fortunately, Mrs. Marco didn't move next, but opened the chair and sat opposite the ninth sister.

Mrs Marco asked the maid to bring a cup of milk tea.

The ninth sister lowered her eyebrows and didn't know how to speak.

"What do you want from your sister?" Over the years, Mrs. Marco has been familiar with Marco and his wife, and she has already upgraded herself to the ninth sister.

Sister Jiu coughed softly, "Actually, it's nothing."

"Mrs. Marco, do you and Mr. Marco often go to the palace now?"

"I do often go to the palace, but the palace is so troublesome, even more troublesome than the king's palace in my hometown. Unexpectedly, an old woman scolded me for not speaking well and breaking the rules. She taught me to speak in person. If it's not good, I'm not allowed to leave the palace. What a bad rule is this? Mrs. Marco complained dissatisfiedly.

The ninth sister pulled the corners of her mouth. No wonder Mrs. Marco now said a standard Dazhou dialect, which is the credit of the old lady in the palace.

The ninth sister gently knocked on the table and made a "dude" sound.

Mrs. Marco's eyes also shifted to Sister Jiu's finger. Looking at Sister Jiu's frown and thinking, Mrs. Marco also put away her previous play.

"If there is anything, just say it directly. I really don't know why you are such a little girl and so thoughtful." Mrs. Marco was a little annoyed by the sound.

The corners of Sister Jiu's lips raised slightly and her eyes slowly narrowed. "It's not a big deal. I just want to know some concubines in the palace. Well, if possible, I would like to know what the emperor thinks."

Mrs Marco gently slapped the fan, "What did those women ask? It's really boring to find out how they got the favor of His Majesty the Emperor and how to get the greatest power in the harem. But that emperor seems to be very interesting. Although I have been here for more than ten years, I still don't understand why you people have so many thoughts.

"Well--" The ninth sister coughed a few times. Mrs. Marco's contact was full of dignitaries and royal nobles, and naturally everyone had their own thoughts.

"A few days ago, I occasionally heard something from the noble concubine that seemed to abandon the Xue family, but I really don't understand what she was talking about!" Mrs. Marco shook her head.

Sister Jiu's heart tightened and couldn't help clenching her fist.
