Chapter 328: The Age of Flesh (5).

Mrs. Zuo's face was a little pale, she didn't want to continue this topic, so she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and then pretended to be casual and said to Qiyue, "Yingluo, why didn't you wear the set of noodles I gave you a few days ago? I personally picked it for a long time, don't you like it?"

July was stunned when he heard Mrs. Zuo's words, and July was stunned not because he didn't know how to answer, but he was surprised that the situation was as the system said, no matter how July tried to change, the general direction of the plot would continue according to its original pattern, just like today, even if Xiao Tao didn't mention that set of jewelry, but it always had to be mentioned, this is the so-called plot effect.

After Mrs. Zuo finished speaking, she waited for July to answer. There is a trap in Mrs. Zuo's words, because no matter how July answers, she has a way to make July unable to get off the stage. If July answers that she likes it, then Mrs. Zuo can ask why she doesn't wear it today because she likes it, whether she doesn't pay attention to today's banquet or is dissatisfied with herself. If she doesn't like it, then she can pretend to be sad and make other people feel that July is uneducated.

"Huh, Madame didn't notice?" said July with a look of surprise.

"What did you find?" July's words made Mrs. Zuo stunned, she frowned slightly, not understanding what July was talking about.

July covered his mouth and smiled, pulled Xiao Tao over, and said to Mrs. Zuo, "Madam, you see what is different about Xiao Tao today." ”

Chen Yingluo used to bring Xiao Tao with her every time she came to Zuofu, and Mrs. Zuo seemed to like Xiao Tao very much, but she was indifferent to Chen Yingluo, a prospective daughter-in-law.

"Little Peach?" Mrs. Zuo was stunned, obviously not seeing that this was the very sensible little maid she liked.

"Come, little peach, lift up your face and let Madame see it. July smiled and said to Little Peach.

Xiao Tao's face was flushed, she didn't want to look up, but July was her master, and she had to obey.

Xiao Tao raised her head gently, with a little tears in her eyes, but a little tear did not mean anything pitiful under the foil of this clothes, but looked a little enchanting.

"This is Peach? How, what, what." Mrs. Zuo was surprised by Xiao Tao's appearance.

"Madame, didn't you think that my little peach was such a beauty?" July pursed her lips and smiled, "I was curious about why she always used her hair to block her forehead this morning, so I curiously picked it up and looked at it, this look was shocking, it turned out that she looked so good-looking, but she let this hair block it raw." I thought that such a beautiful billet could not be ruined in my hands, so I dressed her up well, and Madame looked good!"

The reason why Xiao Tao was able to amaze everyone at that time was because of Xiao Tao's sudden change, and she was carefully dressed up at that time, and her appearance was even more beautiful and refined, as if she was a fairy. But today is different, July first changed her into a gaudy dress, and then wore a head of gold jewelry, plus standing next to the glamorous July, which made Xiao Tao not so conspicuous. Although Xiao Tao is still beautiful now, she is just a beautiful girl in everyone's eyes. There are one or two of these girls in every family, and the ladies only glanced at them a few times and stopped looking at them.

Mrs. Zuo also glanced at Xiao Tao twice, then focused on July again, and said, "You girl, it's just a girl, why bother so much." By the way, I asked you just now, do you like the set of jewelry I picked for you?"

"Madame, didn't you see that Xiao Tao was wearing that set of jewelry?" Qi Yiliang asked in surprise, and then said with an innocent face, "Didn't Madame say that she personally selected the jewelry?"

After July finished speaking, he covered his mouth as if he had consciously lost his words, and then seemed to understand something, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mrs. Zuo with some disbelief.

July's words made Mrs. Zuo's face freeze suddenly, and the people next to her were all a little embarrassed, so they could only look elsewhere or drink tea to hide their true thoughts.

Yes, Mrs. Zuo picked the jewelry herself, but after looking at Xiao Tao for a long time, she didn't find that the jewelry on her head was selected "personally", which is tantamount to slapping her face in public. Everyone wanted to laugh very much, but they also knew that it was really inappropriate to laugh at this time, so they could only pretend not to understand, but secretly paid attention to Mrs. Zuo's expression.

After a while, Mrs. Zuo exhaled heavily, and said in a dry and astringent voice, "I'm old, and my eyes are not good, and I don't see it." ”

After Mrs. Zuo finished speaking, she smiled at everyone and said, "I suddenly remembered something, I missed it for a while, everyone should not be restrained, just take care of yourself." ”

After Mrs. Zuo left, July and a few ladies had a bit of a homework, but all the people in the house were already Mrs. or Mrs., and there was no little girl in the boudoir, and it was not suitable for July to be here, so after saying a sin, he took Xiao Tao towards the garden.

This banquet is a flower viewing party, and the flowers are Mrs. Zuo's favorite peony. There are all kinds of peonies in the garden, but the lake is bare, and there are no lotus flowers that most people would raise in the pond.

Mrs. Zuo doesn't like lotuses, and even the clothes and jewelry in the entire prime minister's house are not allowed to have lotus flowers. And the reason for this is that Chen Yingluo only learned until a long time later, it turned out that Chen Yingluo's mother's favorite was the lotus, and even Chen Yingluo's mother's words were self-reliant.

The reason why Mrs. Zuo likes peony is also because peony is the king of flowers, and there is a poem: The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond is pure and affectionate. Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. Mrs. Zuo seemed to think that she could suppress Chen Yingluo's mother like this, and from then on, the only flower planted in the entire Xiangfu was the peony.

July walked slowly along the road between the flowers, and July really wanted to see what kind of arrangement the plot would be if he didn't follow the original path.

The original plot was that Chen Yingluo was angry with Mrs. Zuo, so she took Xiao Tao to the pool, and as she walked, she met Zuo Yu, the third lady of the Zuo family, and the lord of Chengyang, Zuo Yu didn't like Chen Yingluo, the future sister-in-law, and heard that Chen Yingluo had eaten turtles at Mrs. Zuo's just now, so she laughed at Chen Yingluo. Chen Yingluo was annoyed, so he argued with Zuo Yu, and he didn't know how, Zuo Yu fell into the lake. And Xiao Tao jumped in after Zuo Yu fell into the water and rescued Zuo Yu.

Because of this incident, the Zuo family felt that it was Chen Yingluo who pushed Zuo Yu into the water, and Xiao Tao was the hero who saved people, and was grateful to the Zuo family.
