Chapter 61: Humiliation
After appreciating the peonies, the luncheon began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Gu Guanning and the others sat down with Fu Yan, and everyone happened to sit at the same table.
Min Yuan's movements were a little slower, and after sitting down, she only felt a little crowded. was not very happy, and immediately found the reason for the attack: "There are just ten people sitting at this table, but we have one more here, and it is too crowded to sit." Some people are really shameless. knew that the big guys didn't welcome her, but she just didn't leave. β
The last few words, intentionally or unintentionally, raised the volume. The corner of his eye squinted at the girl beside Gu Wanning.
Who it's for, you don't have to think much to know.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan's pretty face was flushed. Knowing that Gu Guanning didn't want to see him, he couldn't help but look at Gu Wanning for help.
At this moment, only Gu Wanning can save face for her.
Gu Wanning really glanced at her, and then said slowly: "Sister Min just said, didn't Cousin Shen hear what Sister Min said just now?"
Min Yuan deliberately lost Shen Qinglan's face, which was quite a bit of "hitting the dog and hurting the owner". thought that this would make her lose face.
As everyone knows, such an act is exactly what she wants.
Shen Qinglan was extremely ashamed and indignant in her heart, bit her lip hard, and held back a sentence: "Cousin Guanning, you promised your aunt to take good care of me." β
Take the Shen family to press her? hehe!
Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Mother is sitting at that seat, if you are not angry, go and tell your mother." β
Shen Qinglan: "......"
She was so naΓ―ve!
How could she think that Gu Guanning would be better off with Shen's face?
What Gu Wanning did today was clearly deliberate. deliberately nodded her head to let her go with her, and deliberately embarrassed her in front of everyone.
After today, who else is willing to pay attention to these Beijing ladies with eyes above the top?
Fu Yan didn't want to make a fuss too ugly, so she coughed and said, "I've already sat down, and it's not good to move around at will." Let's squeeze in for now!"
After a pause, he looked at Min Yuan with a smile: "Sister Min, today is my great-grandmother's eighty birthday, and it is a happy day for our Fu family." It is better to be kind in everything. I also hope that Sister Min will look at my thin face and tolerate it a little. β
Min Yuan snorted lightly on her toes, and finally didn't say anything more.
When Fu Yan saw Min Yuan's appearance, she felt angry and unhappy. However, she was quite a bit of a city government, and her face was not revealed, and she continued to play the round with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Min." β
He said to Gu Guanning again: "Sister Gu, you are also a good person, in order to make Lingtang happy, you have done what you are obviously not willing to do." It's a pity that in this world, not everyone knows gratitude. Perhaps, not only did people not appreciate you, but they resented you!"
"You, don't be too soft-hearted in the future. β
When she said this, she didn't even look at Shen Qinglan, but only looked at Gu Wanning eagerly.
Gu Wanning smiled slightly: "Thank you Sister Fu for mentioning it." I am indeed always soft-hearted when I shouldn't. This time there was a lesson learned, and never again. β
Fu Yan nodded with satisfaction: "It's right that you can think so." Sometimes, good intentions don't always end well. People should recognize their own identity, and only then can they speak and act in an orderly manner. Otherwise, it would be laughable and generous. β
"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. β
Cui Junyao said with a smile: "I often hear people praise Sister Fu for knowing how to advance and retreat, but today I realized that these words are too shallow." Sister Fu's words are really wonderful. β
Lin Ruxue also smiled and said, "I have also been taught." β
Shen Qinglan: "......"
What is a sword of words, what is a finger and scolding, what is a lack of self-respect!
Shen Qinglan's face was hot, and she wished that there was a hole in the ground, so she would get into it now.
It's not to go, it's not to stay.
It's not to speak, it's not to say.
But the hateful Min Yuan still refused to let her go: "Why didn't Miss Shen say a word? Don't you think that a few of us are bullying and humiliating you by virtue of our family background? Miss Shen's life is pitiful, it's too late for us to sympathize!"
As she spoke, she smiled as she spoke.
It's not just Min Yuan who is laughing, Fu Yan, Cui Junyao, Lin Ruxue...... and Gu Wanning, all pursed their lips and smiled.
In their eyes, she is a complete joke!
Today, she really shouldn't have come to Fu's house. She shouldn't have imagined that Gu Wanning would lead her to make friends in the boudoir.
Shen Qinglan stiffened, her expression equally stiff.
β¦β¦
The Fu family's dishes were delicious and sumptuous, but Shen Qinglan was in no mood to taste them, and the chopsticks had not been moved.
The stomach was empty, and the mind was even more chaotic.
The Fu family invited the most prestigious troupe in the capital and sang a lively play for an afternoon. The girls sat together and gossiped while watching the play.
Gu Guanning has been sitting with Luo Zhixuan and laughing in a low voice.
Although the Shen family doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, after all, she is the daughter-in-law of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and on an occasion like today, she has to stay by Mrs. Tai's side all the time, dealing with the ladies of various provinces in the capital, and she can't take care of Shen Qinglan for a while, so she doesn't notice Shen Qinglan's strange silence.
Towards the end of the evening, Gu Hai sent a message with Li Shan.
"Mrs. Qiyu, the third master ordered the servants to come and say, Fu Ge Lao left some guests, and he will return to the house after the dinner in the evening. The third master was also left behind. β
Li Shan respectfully reported: "Mrs. Tai doesn't have to wait for the third master. β
Mrs. Tai nodded: "Got it." You go back and take good care of the third master and remind him not to drink too high. β
The children and grandchildren of the Gu family have always been precious, even if they are concubines, they have been carefully raised since childhood. Mrs. Tai is very dedicated to her concubine Gu Song and Gu Hai. The two concubines also have a lot of respect for her mother-in-law.
Now, Gu Zhan has died, and the Gu family relies on these two sons to support the door.
Gu Song led the troops to fight at the border pass, Gu Hai was in charge of the grain and grass in the military department, and the two thousand private soldiers of the Gu family were also in Gu Hai's hands.
Li Shan respectfully received the order and retreated.
Mrs. Tai turned her head to the three daughters-in-law and smiled: "It's not too early, it's time for us to say goodbye and go home." β
The matter of farewell naturally had to be brought forward by the Shen family.
The Shen family has been the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei for many years, and often deals with the ladies of various provinces. It's a trivial matter. After saying goodbye, the group left the Fu Mansion under the send-off of the Fu family and daughter-in-law, and soon returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
Lady Tai was sent back to Zhenghe Hall, and everyone went back to the courtyard to rest.
When he arrived in Rongde Hall, the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief.
Until this moment, the Shen family had time to care about Shen Qinglan: "Lan'er, you have been in the Fu family for most of the day today, have you made any friends?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Shen Qinglan's eyes red. (To be continued.) )
