Chapter 120: Maintenance
(2nd Update!)
At this time, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and for the wives of various officials, there are more banquets than usual. I often have just finished drinking tea at the owner's house, and I am going to go to the owner's house to have a drink.
In the midst of these flowing feasts, the ladies of the families heard about the concubine of Yongning.
There are many people who listen, and often as soon as this lady speaks: "I heard that Uncle Yongning's concubine ......", another lady picked up: "I also heard, it seems that someone broke into the room in the middle of the night......"
So, the ladies of the family began to say one word at a time, and when they said the words "broke into the room in the middle of the night", the tone was particularly aggravated.
Anytime, such a fragrant thing always arouses the curiosity of Mrs. Uchitaku.
Most of the women and nobles in the house don't care too much about the affairs of the court and politics, nor do they care too much about natural disasters**, they are most interested in this kind of midnight boudoir affairs.
Even if they only heard about it, they said it with relish. Some ladies claim to be noble, and they don't have legends about it, but they hear it in their ears.
On this day, at the banquet set up by Wang Yuanfeng's wife Jiang, the ladies mentioned this matter again.
"I heard that Liuyundu is guarded by the Gyeonggi Guard, and it has always been calm, how can there be any ambush of the man in black? This can't be something else, right?" said a lady with a veil covered.
The other lady picked up and said, "I think so." Maybe the ambush is fake, but someone enters the door in the middle of the night. I heard that Miss Zheng's biological mother died early, maybe it's normal to make some mistakes......"
Jiang sat on the top, listening to these words with a smile and not stopping them.
Isn't it just that everyone has something to say and is lively?
Just as the ladies were in the midst of their discussion, a sneer came from the doorway, interrupting the ladies' words.
Forthwith. Someone said coldly: "The old man doesn't know that a girl has escaped well, not only are you happy for her, but you also splash her sewage openly and secretly." It turns out that Jingzhao is so broken-mouthed, and he also likes to reverse right and wrong, but the old body has long insight!"
These words, in this December day. Like a basin of ice water poured on the ladies. They stiffened for a moment, then blushed and looked at the doorway in exasperation.
After you see who is speaking. But he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
The one who said this was a stern old woman, with a strong body, as if she was pressing down on everyone like a heavy mountain.
They all recognize it. This is Mrs. Pei Lu, the wife of the patriarch of the first family in Hedong.
Also...... The daughter of the powerful minister Lu Guanzhi.
She was followed by quite a few people. There is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and the third daughter-in-law, Ye, from Songjiang Ye...... Not to mention, she also has a powerful and powerful princess!
This random person, not the lady who was not present dared to offend lightly.
When I saw Lu appear. Even the Jiang family stood up to greet them, what else did other ladies dare to say?
"Old lady, it's not worth it if you're angry. Presumably, the ladies also care about the Zheng family girl. That's what I would say. Wang Yujiao, who was supporting the Lu family, said with a smile, relieving the siege for the ladies.
That's what Yu'er said. Everybody's bored. It just so happened that you, old sister, came to tell us about Hedong and let us have a long insight. Jiang said with a smile.
With the words of this pair of ancestors and grandchildren, the embarrassment of the ladies suddenly disappeared a lot, and they all smiled "hehe", and the atmosphere was slightly soothed.
The Lu family thought that this was the Wang family's banquet, but he didn't think about embarrassing the Jiang family too much, so he didn't leave on the spot.
These people actually arranged Miss Zheng? The old man was still patient in Yongzheng Garden, for fear of scaring Miss Zheng, these ladies are really too idle!
She sat down, broke away from Wang Yan's support, and then said: "Hedong is a small place, not as good as Jingzhao, and there are a few interesting things to do." Eldest daughter-in-law, tell everyone about it. β
She picked up the teacup and glanced at Wang.
What a clear person Wang is, he has already seen the meaning in his mother-in-law's eyes.
She was also angry in her heart, the rare sick and weak uncle finally had a little hope of getting married, she finally didn't have to hear the long sighs of the husband from time to time, what are these people talking nonsense?
So, Wang spoke: "The most worthy of saying in Hedong is the Yudong School Palace, everyone must have heard of it, right? Yu Dong has never recruited female disciples......"
"When Concubine Shun went to Gantang Yaji in Hedong, she was very appreciative of Miss Zheng. I don't understand, the ladies said that there is no inside story, do the ladies think that the praise of Concubine Shun is inappropriate?"
"My second aunt likes Miss Zheng very much, and she has personally invited Miss Zheng many times, but Miss Zheng's grandmother is very strict with her, and she doesn't have many opportunities to see her......"
She was delicate and soft, spoke softly, and couldn't hear a trace of fireworks, but the ladies seemed to feel that they had been hit by countless knives in their hearts, and they could only vomit blood silently.
The Wang family brought out the sacrificial wine lord of the Yudong School Palace, and also mentioned Concubine Shun Niangniang, and finally the second aunt......
Isn't her second aunt the lord of Yizhang? This is the lord who dares to rob her husband with Princess Zhaoping!
The girl of the Zheng family, who was valued by these people, what did they dare to say? At the moment, they only wished that they had never said those words.
Hearing Wang say this, both the Jiang family and Wang Yu were extremely surprised in their hearts: Pei family, how could they defend that girl of the Zheng family so much? It's so unusual!
Lu Shi put down the teacup, glanced at the ladies coldly, and asked, "I don't know where the ladies heard these words? Poor Miss Zheng, a weak girl, has just arrived in Jingzhao, and she doesn't know where to offend people." β
These words made the ladies ashamed again.
As if to cover up, they told where they had heard it. Some people say it's the Li family, some people say it's the Zhang family, in short......
But the Lu family is deeply aware of the true biography of her father Lu Guanzhi, and with the words of these ladies, she actually saw some doorways.
Miss Zheng has only been in Jingzhao for a few days, and it is estimated that she is round or flat, and everyone is not clear, why these words spread so quickly?
She originally thought that the words of these ladies were the handwriting of Miss Zheng's stepmother, He, just to ruin Miss Zheng's reputation.
No, these words originally came out of the palaceββ Zhang family, Li family, these families, there are girls in the family who are noble beauties in the palace.
Miss Zheng actually let the nobles in the palace notice?
When she heard someone mention the "Young Lieutenant of the Tao Family", Lu Shi was keenly aware that this matter was not as simple as she thought, and it was definitely not a small selfishness in the inner house!
Her face became even more stern, and she immediately hurried back to Pei's house. (To be continued.) )
