Chapter 31: Do Bad Deeds
Chapter 31 Do bad things
Hongluan's voice was very urgent. Xue Mei thought it was her Chou who was injured, so she hurried out.
"Miss!" Hongluan's eyes turned red with grievance when she saw her.
Xue Mei was startled: "What's wrong, just talk about it slowly."
Cai Yuan walked a few steps behind and entered the yard panting. When she saw Hongluan, she immediately wanted to stop her.
"Hongluan, don't talk nonsense in front of the lady!" Cai Yuan's breath was unstable, and she held the door frame and gasped.
Xue Mei was frightened by them and hurriedly asked what was going on.
"It's okay, it's okay, Miss." Cai Yuan pushed Hongluan hard and asked her to go out first.
Hongluan was already crying.
"You said, who bullied you?" Xue Mei said, "There is no need to cover up in front of me."
"It's not bullying me, but bullying you, Miss." Hongluan said nothing despite Cai Yuan's obstruction, "The old lady of the Wen family celebrates her 70th birthday, and Mrs. Wen comes to send an invitation.
I gave it to all the ladies at home and asked the ladies to go to the banquet with them. However, the Wen family gave me an invitation to the second ladies, but they did not give it to you."
Xue Mei: "..."
She also thought why it was a big deal.
Baibai was startled.
"Is that right?" Xue Mei smiled, "Is it bad if there is no separate invitation?"
"The Wen family disrespects you." Hongluan cried in anger, "Their family obviously wanted to marry you. There were no girls at all, so why did they give it to the second lady alone? Isn't this slap you in the face?"
The Wen family should want to marry Miss Xue Er even more.
It’s a pity that the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion was reluctant to marry the second lady to the merchant. I heard that Xue Mei’s fiancé was kneeling and licking the second lady like a dog for a long time.
When the Wen family got married with the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, they curled up with the Xue family.
Since you want to be flattered, you must naturally be flattered to the point.
The second lady is the pearl in the eyes of the Marquis and the old lady. Of course, the Wen family has to treat the second lady differently.
If a concubine's daughter cannot compete with her, she can marry her legitimate daughter. What kind of world is this?
Xue Mei felt that this era was similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the status of the aristocratic clans and powerful clans was being broken; the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of officials will be gradually replaced by the imperial examination, and poor commoners gradually entered the political stage.
Of course, those who have obtained high positions are all common people who are military generals. The imperial examination has not yet begun on a large scale, and civil servants have not been occupied by poor people.
The civil servants selected now are still selected from the "Nine-rank Zhongzheng System", which means that the aristocratic families and gentry can rate a person, and the "highest", "middle-grade", "lowest-grade", etc. are all in the hands of the aristocratic families. They will recommend their own people as "highest-grade", and then they can select officials.
When this system of selecting officials is replaced by the imperial examination, the superiority of the aristocratic families and the gentry will be completely broken.
Sooner or later!
Historically, the imperial examination system will soon appear.
The current rise of poor generals has shown signs, and society has undergone great changes unknowingly.
Due to this huge change, many social rules have been broken; and new rules have not been established yet, so this society is incompatible.
"It's also a bit like the Republic of China period." Xue Mei thought.
It's really similar, because it's currently the world. In addition to the Daliang Kingdom where Xue Mei is located, there are Qi Kingdom in the southeast, Chu Kingdom in the west, Wei Kingdom in the middle, and the Xiongnu people in the northwest.
Like the warlord separatist rule during the Republic of China period.
Before the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, poor families and aristocratic families did not intermarry, and the rules were very strict at that time. There was absolutely no possibility of causing trouble for a little concubine.
Xue Mei felt that the original owner was born in the wrong age. If she had been born a hundred years ago, no matter how ordinary she was, she would not have been suppressed by her concubine's sister.
"Time is fate." Xue Mei smiled.
Hongluan didn't know that her lady had such a big idea and had already run a long way to think. She thought her lady had accepted her fate, so she immediately said, "Miss, you can't be discouraged. If you don't fight, the Wen family will treat you more easily in the future."
Xue Mei felt very aggrieved when she saw Hongluan.
If she doesn't vent her anger, she may have to vent her anger and make mistakes.
How could her maid be so loyal?
Anyway, I'm idle.
Xue Mei could not marry into the Wen family, but before she retired from the bride, the Wen family could not destroy her face.
"Okay, let's go and fight." Xue Mei smiled, "Stop crying, where is Mrs. Wen?"
"In the old lady's jade hall courtyard." Hongluan said.
"Let's go and have a look." Xue Mei smiled.
Cai Yuan next to her was about to go crazy.
"Miss, never!" Cai Yuan was bigger than Hongluan and more steady. "Hongluan's little hoof is trying to die and insists on telling you this. What should you say when you go? If you complain, you will even ask Mrs. Wen to look at her lightly."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Xue Mei said.
Cai Yuan still disagrees.
She pulled Xue Mei away and was about to cry: "Miss, the Wen family is your in-laws' family, and it will be your life in the future. Be patient, who will not be angry when you were young? When you have a young master and your own support in the future, it will not be too late to have another attack."
The more he spoke, the more sad he became, Cai Yuan simply knelt down to Xue Mei, "Miss, for yourself, I'll endure this tone, please."
Xue Mei quickly helped her up.
The two maids had different ideas, but they both were loyal to protecting their masters.
Xue Mei was in a dilemma.
If Hongluan feels comfortable, Caiyuan will be worried; if Caiyuan feels relieved, Hongluan will be angry.
However, Miss Xue's eyes turned and she had an idea.
Who says there is no best in both worlds in this world?
Those who can't do it are because they are incompetent. But Miss Xue is capable and rich.
Xue Mei had an idea in her mind and said decisively to Cai Yuan: "Okay, I'll listen to you and I won't go to Yutangyuan to make trouble."
"Really?" Cai Yuan wiped her tears.
Xue Mei nodded.
Hongluan is so good: "Miss..."
Cai Yuan slapped Hongluan hard on the back, and regardless of the hazy tears, she became angry at Hongluan: "If you provoke me again, I will ask my mother to punish you! Why, you won't listen to my words, the eldest lady?"
The three of them are all second-class maids, but because of their different ages, they will be divided into the morning and evening when they enter the mansion.
Xiuzhu is the first of these three maids. She is the oldest and the most stable. Hongluan and Caiyuan entered the mansion together, but Caiyuan was two months older than Hongluan and had his own opinions, so she naturally became her sister.
"I..." Hongluan sniffed in grievance, "Tomorrow, the servants of Wenqiyuan will be praised as a slut. I am not right for the young lady."
"What can I get when the eldest lady goes to the old lady?" Cai Yuan said, "If you ask the eldest lady to go, you will be scolded by the old lady. The eldest lady is the real grievance."
Hongluan really wants to say that their eldest lady is different and may not be scolded.
However, she didn't want to quarrel with Cai Yuan.
Xue Mei quietly pulled Hongluan's sleeve.
She winked at Hongluan.
Hongluan understood it, felt secretly happy, and said to Cai Yuan: "Sister, I won't mess around anymore. Go and do your business, I will serve the eldest lady for tea."
Cai Yuan finally relaxed in one breath.
She had chased Hongluan before and was sweating all over. Her back was sweating and a little chilling.
Cai Yuan was afraid of being infected with the cold, so she told Hongluan a few more words to go to change her clothes.
As soon as she left, Hongluan immediately approached Xue Mei: "Miss, are we going secretly?"
Xue Mei laughed: "It's not a thief, why are you doing secretly? Let's not go to Yutangyuan."
"Ah?" Hongluan was very disappointed.
She thought she understood the meaning of the eldest lady. It turned out that the eldest lady didn’t mean that?
"We do this." Xue Mei asked Hongluan to approach and told Hongluan her idea.
Hongluan was still a childish child. She didn't care about the consequences. After hearing Xue Mei's words, her eyes lit up and she was filled with excitement of doing bad things.
