Chapter 333 Commentary
Hu Yingxue saw Miss Liu coming back, but the expression on her face, which had become extremely ugly because of Miaoyin's words, did not change at all. Hu Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a subtle trace of anger in her eyes.
At the same time, she quickly sent a look to Wang Shuyao beside her. Wang Shuyao understood what she meant and immediately said, "Oh, Xiaocao'er sister, look at the servants in your house, they are really well-educated! How dare a little maid dare to contradict the master so arrogantly here? I really don't know how you discipline the servants on weekdays. Since you don't seem to know how to teach them to abide by the rules, then let me, your sister, help you out of kindness." Before she finished speaking, Wang Shuyao had already twisted her waist and approached Miaoyin step by step.
Seeing this, Xiao Caoer stepped forward without hesitation and stood in front of Miaoyin, saying, "Sister, please don't be angry. I want to ask, what did my Miaoyin say wrong?"
Wang Shuyao snorted coldly, crossed her arms over her chest, glanced at Miaoyin with disdain, and then responded coldly: "Humph, as a lowly servant, you don't even know the most basic etiquette, and you speak nonsense regardless of the occasion and the status. Shouldn't you be taught a lesson for this?"
Xiao Cao'er didn't back down at all when she heard that. Instead, she raised her chin and refuted confidently, "Sister, what you said is strange! It was you who were the first to comment on my outfit. Miaoyin was just kindly explaining to you that my family can afford to dress like this. May I ask, sister, what's wrong with her doing this?"
Wang Shuyao opened her red lips and said slowly, "How dare she contradict Sister Yingxue so rudely? It's really inappropriate!"
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Cao, who was standing beside him, still smiled and asked, "Then may I ask, sister, can you be considered a good upbringing if you comment on me like this?"
At this time, Hu Yingxue couldn't help but say, "Humph, are we wrong? Look at your outfit. If you don't have thousands of taels of silver, you can't buy it at all! Do you think everyone is blind? Just look at the pearl flower on your head, its value is already very high. It is made of top-grade Dongzhu! Each pearl is full and round, and the luster is bright and attractive. Look at the clothes you are wearing. The material used is Yunjin, which is a tribute. You may not be able to buy it on the market even if you have money. It can be said to be a priceless item!"
It was just as Hu Yingxue said. Xiaocao'er's outfit really cost a lot of money. The pearls on her head alone were worth a fortune, and the brocade used in her dress was even more precious. However, facing everyone's doubts, Xiaocao'er didn't care. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Haha, I don't know when my family became so poor that we can't even take out a few thousand taels of silver. When I return home, I will definitely ask my brother and Brother Hua Ming to see if the family businesses have closed down. Otherwise, how could anyone suspect that our family can't even afford a piece of clothing?"
Lu Linger blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Sister, your family actually has business dealings with my brother-in-law? This is really unexpected!"
Xiao Cao'er smiled slightly and answered in a relaxed tone: "Of course! Otherwise, how could my family support my brothers' education?" As she said this, she blinked mischievously.
At this time, Hu Yingxue and Wang Shuyao stopped talking immediately after hearing Xiao Caoer mention that her family had business dealings with Zheng Huaming. They looked at each other with a hint of surprise and awe in their eyes.
You know, Zheng Huaming is not an ordinary person! He is an important person in charge of the money box of the current emperor. To be able to have business dealings with such a powerful person, Xiaocao'er's family should not be an ordinary family.
Just as everyone was secretly speculating, Miss Liu saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and hurriedly smiled and urged: "Hey, don't just chat! The tossing pot is ready, and I've even taken out the prize. Come on, everyone, have fun and see who has the best luck today and can successfully take the prize home!" As she spoke, she playfully shook the exquisite brocade box in her hand, which seemed to contain an exciting treasure.
When it came to the game of tossing pots, Hu Yingxue and Wang Shuyao came to provoke Xiao Cao'er again.
"Sister Yang, let's play tossing pots together. Sister Qi has taken out the prizes, you can join in the fun too." Hu Yingxue said.
"Thank you, Sister Hu. I don't know how to play this." Nanny Zhao didn't teach the rules in vain, and Xiao Cao'er is almost forty years old in two lifetimes. How can she still get angry with these young ladies?
