Chapter 62: Thrilling
As soon as the eldest aunt and grandmother Zhu Madame guessed Li Jingyi's identity, the old man of her family raised a room of Yingying Yanyan and none of those women were worry-free, Mrs. Zhu hated the most in her life was the concubine room, and even the children born with them were also hated. Seeing that Li Jingyi didn't know the rules like this, she couldn't help but preach to Situ Ningbing, "Young lady, it's not that I'm troublesome, no matter what the mansion says, it's also a first-class prince's family, although the eldest lady is a concubine and has gone out again, but it is your girl who is the girl in the end, and she still loses the face of the Guogong Mansion by acting like this." Even though she is older than you, you are a serious princess and the future head of the house, and you still need to be taught a lesson. You don't have a daughter now, and when you have a daughter, you will know how important the reputation of the woman in the family is. ”
Situ Ningbing saw that Mrs. Zhu hated her and wanted to go into battle in person, and an idea flashed in his mind. "Mrs. Zhu" Situ Ningbing said helplessly, "Although your words are good, after all, I have just entered the door, and I am my brother and daughter-in-law, young and orderly, if it is spread out, I am afraid that people will say that I am Meng Lang." You also know that Taiyuan Wang's poetry heirloom, and her mother is no more virtuous, she just knows that at most she can say two sentences of the eldest sister, and it doesn't hurt or itch this ......" said as if she suddenly thought of something, "I heard that Mrs. Zhu is a good hand at taking care of the inner courtyard, and she will have to walk around more in the future, first, to accompany my mother to relieve boredom, and second, to let me learn some skills." ”
Mrs. Zhu came to Longxi with her husband and was worried that she would not have the opportunity to climb the Guogong Mansion, Situ Ningbing's words were exactly what she wanted, and she thought about the rumored temperament of the Duchess and the rumors in the backyard, and the intention of Situ Ningbing's words came to figure out seven or eight points, and immediately responded cheerfully: "The young lady is kind, I can't refuse, right?" You can rest assured that I will come to talk to you and Mrs. more in the future." ”
When they spoke, they did not avoid others, and several noble ladies around them listened to the conversation between the two clearly, and they also said that they would go over the house with Mrs. Zhu in the future, and Situ Ningbing naturally welcomed it. Wang's temperament is rigid and unsociable, married to Longxi for many years stunned is not handed over to a handkerchief that can speak confidant, will only be a person behind closed doors, she gave birth to Li Jiayi's mother and is powerful, otherwise Taiyuan Wang is more prominent, it is estimated that she will become a pile of dry bones at this time. Situ Ningbing didn't have the patience to deal with the concubines in the backyard for her, and An Guogong was in the prime of life, who knew that if she went to an Aunt Zhang, she wouldn't come to Aunt Li and Aunt Wang?
After a busy day, seeing Li Shuning set off in the direction of Chang'an City with a long and mighty wedding procession accompanied by Li Jiayi, the people of Anguo Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when it was time for dinner, the men were certainly pushing cups and changing lamps in the outer hall, and the ladies and ladies in the backyard were not idle. Because of his sister's marriage, Li Jiazhi specially invited a juggling team from outside to let the ladies and ladies in the middle have a fresh look.
After watching the fireballs, shooting knives, swallowing swords and other things, the finale is here - lifting the crown. In the midst of the cheers, I saw a big man eight feet long holding a giant tripod and walking step by step to the open space in the middle of the garden specially set aside for juggling. Visually speaking, the copper tripod is four or five zhang high, and there are 1,800 catties, and every step the big man takes will leave a deep footprint on the ground, leaving behind a broken brick. Where did the ladies and ladies see this battle, they all opened their eyes wide and stared at the giant ding for a moment, only Cui Shi, who was sitting opposite Situ Ningbing, peeked at her and the Wang family next to her, I didn't want Situ Ningbing to turn their heads and the two looked at each other, Cui Shi saw the woman opposite smiling at him in a trance, the bright moon and Qinghui slanted on her face, and the intact left half of the face was very clear, the original bright smile became extremely gloomy, Cui's heart was so frightened that she missed half a beat, if it weren't for a trace of clarity in her mind, she would have to scream!
"Did she know anything?" Cui's heart was uneasy, as if he had hung seven or eight buckets, his mind was full of chaos, and he couldn't figure out a clue, only a pair of eyes stared intently at the giant ding that was up and down, and his expression looked like a gambler who had gone bankrupt!
Look at the big man bent his knees and bent his arms to throw the copper tripod violently, the copper tripod slowly rose and fell quickly, in the process the whole garden people subconsciously held their breath, only to feel that their hearts were raised to the throat! Only then did everyone's hearts let go, and after a moment of silence, there was a sound of color.
After going back and forth several times, the big man threw out the copper tripod for the last time, and somehow, the giant tripod actually smashed diagonally towards the Wang family and Situ Ningbing! This time it changed suddenly, and everyone watched before they could react, and the huge copper tripod was about to smash the two into meatloaf!
Cui Shi couldn't help but crack the corners of her mouth when she saw the copper tripod falling, but the next moment her smile froze. The bronze tripod actually stopped steadily above the heads of Wang and Situ Ningbing! Everyone was stunned for a while before they saw clearly, there was a thin figure standing under the copper tripod, a slender arm supporting the copper tripod, the person's appearance was covered by the shadow of the copper tripod, and it was not clear to see, but it was not difficult to distinguish that it was a maid by looking at the silhouette and dressing.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the maid casually threw the copper tripod, as if throwing a hydrangea, and the copper tripod crossed an arc in mid-air and was about to fall on Cui's head!
"Ah...!" After a scream, I saw Cui Shi, the eldest grandmother of Anguo Mansion, sitting on the ground with a frightened face, and her originally neatly combed bun was also loosened, looking extremely wolf. And the bronze tripod was held in the hand by the maid at some point, and the tricks of throwing it up and down were more wonderful than the performance of the big man just now, and everyone's minds were attracted by the maid's performance, and they didn't notice that the hostess Wang was half supported and half carried by several maids and women and left the table early. Situ Ningbing whispered to Mama Qi, who was so bluffed that she only had half a life left, and her legs and stomach trembled, "Madame is frightened and I'm afraid that I will have to rest for a while, Jin Yingtang still needs Mama to be more careful, I will let Mama Geng go over to help, and you take the maids and daughters back first." Remember, let them keep their mouths shut!"
Mama Qi was standing behind the Wang family just now, seeing that her master was almost stoned to death, her heart almost jumped out of her cavity, and she still had palpitations at this time, and her mind was blank, until she heard Situ Ningbing's calm voice and gradually stabilized her mind. I didn't know what was going on, but I was still busy doing it. led a group of maids who couldn't even walk steadily, and returned to Jin Yingtang in a trance.
After settling the Wang family, Situ Ningbing ordered someone to get the Cui family, who had no image, back to Songtao Courtyard, after all, it would be a shame for the Anguo Mansion to let her stay here like this. After a beautiful shake of hands and a tripod, I saw that the pity's performance was almost over, and after a beautiful shake of the hand and the tripod, I saw the pity holding the tripod with one hand and squatting towards the lady in the garden and bowed and then held the tripod and retreated.
Situ Ningbing then stood up and explained to the ladies and ladies with a smile: "Let you be frightened, don't look at Fang Cai, this tripod looks quite weighty, but it is actually a thin layer of copper skin, the middle is hollow, and the little girl can move it." This is my third brother who is afraid that you will not be lively enough to watch the juggling, and it is also my mother and I who were annoyed by his chatter, and I relented for a while, so that you were taken aback, not to mention that your mother herself was still bluffing, so that everyone laughed, and if you offended and neglected, please Haihan. After speaking, he bowed to everyone.
Whether you believe her words or not, as long as you go out with your brains, you won't talk too much here, but there are exceptions to everything. This exception is not an outsider, it is Li Jingyi, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion who has already left the cabinet. Maybe it was because she was ignored by Mrs. Yigangui today and was reprimanded by Aunt Wan for a bad breath, or maybe because of Wang's absence, Li Jingyi was a little brainless when she spoke, and taught Situ Ningbing a lesson in front of Mrs. Manyuanzi.
"The third brother is really getting more and more stubborn, what a moth on a happy day! On weekdays, his mother indulges him, you don't stop but follow him to mess around, that's how you are the princess of the world!
Li Jingyi was training energetically, and suddenly heard a voice that was not salty or light: "I said Jingyi, your younger brother and sister are the daughter-in-law of the Anguo Mansion, and if you want to teach a lesson, your mother will teach you a lesson, what is the matter with having a married daughter with you? The one who spoke was a middle-aged woman with a kind face, with two dimples on her face, and she smiled and looked very happy before speaking, it was Wang's sister-in-law, the Duchess of Yueguo Min.
Li Jingyi, who was angry in two sentences, her stomach has not moved for seven years, her husband's family is very dissatisfied with her, if it weren't for the face of the Anguo Mansion, she wouldn't have tolerated her a lot, seeing that her second sister and children were all right, she didn't say anything but didn't know how envious she was. Now that he has been exposed by the Min family in public, he is naturally ashamed and hateful.
This is not the end, Mrs. Zhu has already seen that she is not pleasing to the eye and has the heart to make friends with Situ Ningbing, and after Min finished speaking, she immediately added fuel to the fire, "Mrs. Wang is right, Mrs. Feng should use more heart on her own affairs, I heard that Lord Feng has just been admitted to the Jinshi and has just made up for the lack of Changchuan County's order, you have to pick two proper people to serve, if there is no suitable one, I will go back and find two and send them to your house." She had already heard that this Li family relied on herself as a girl from the Anguo Mansion for seven years and did not let a man take a concubine, and she was a jealous woman. The old man of her family has already taken a leave of absence and shook his face!
How can I say that she is also a sister, Li Jingxiang really couldn't bear to be so ridiculed by her sister and hurriedly stood up to play a round, "Brother and sister, don't be surprised by all the ladies, my sister is drunk, so she talks a little more, so I will accompany her down to sober up." As he spoke, he dragged Li Jingyi out of the garden.
Situ Ningbing looked at Min and Mrs. Zhu gratefully, and said a few more words, because no one came out to make a mess again, and the dinner party was finally over.
