Chapter Eighty-Seven: Competing for Rank (1st Shift)

When I arrived at Dongzhi Street, the street became more and more lively. In addition to the lanterns hanging on the street side of the corner of the house, there are also lantern buildings set up by the families of wealthy merchants and eunuchs, there are ordinary stacked mountain styles stacked layer by layer, and there are also all kinds of birds, tigers and other birds and beasts, as well as common things such as copper coins, fans, lanterns, etc., and there are exquisite buildings such as pavilions and pavilions......www.biquge.info

What's more, there is also made of Dunhuang flying into the sky, the cloud bun is towering, and the clothes are flying, as if they want to ride the wind.

Of course, all the lanterns are not lit, but are lit with candles around them, so that people can roughly appreciate their shape.

Because according to the convention, after the lantern building set up by the government at the entrance of Dongzhi is lit, the other lantern buildings can be lit in turn.

But because of this, it is more and more conceivable that the dazzling scene when the lantern building is lit.

Feng Yuan clapped his hands and cheered excitedly, and Mother He almost couldn't hold him.

Feng Shujia looked at the increasingly turbulent crowd, and had to ask Zhang Huyuan to pick up Feng Yuan in person, lest he accidentally struggle to the ground and be scattered by the crowd.

The lantern viewing shed of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an is still some distance away from the drum tower.

After all, he is an upstart in the imperial court, no matter how he receives the grace and power of the holy family, he cannot be compared with the royal family and nobles and the century-old family.

When Feng Shujia and his entourage arrived, there were already a few people sitting in the lantern viewing booth, all of whom were the families of noble generals such as the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the Li family.

In the center there was a woman, covered in pearls, shining brightly, very dazzling, smiling upright, listening to the amusement of the people around her.

It was Mrs. Cui's wife.

Feng Shujia paused, quietly one step behind Mrs. Li, half a step behind Han, and walked side by side with Li Jiaorong.

Mother He had already taken over Feng Yuan from Zhang Huyuan and followed Feng Shujia closely. The colorful shed is full of powerful women, and Zhang Huyuan is not suitable to enter, so as not to surprise the guests.

Mrs. Li and the Han family did not feel the difference, although Feng Yi's official position was higher than that of Li Da, but Feng Shujia and Feng Yuan were juniors, and they were entrusted by the Bai family to take care of the two sisters and brothers, so they should be the first step.

Cui Shi saw Mrs. Li and Feng Shujia at a glance, and immediately got up and greeted them with a smile: "Mrs. Li, you are here." He looked at Feng Shujia again and asked kindly, "Why didn't Mrs. Hou come?"

Feng Shujia saluted, and her expression was as usual: "My mother is not feeling well, so she will not come." ”

For Cui's family, the hatred in her heart is no less than that of Li Jing.

In those years, Cui's saw that she was not happy with Li Jing, and she was not even as good as a small servant in Qinghui Garden, but because she was nominally Li Jing's wife, she was suspicious and tortured, relying on her mother-in-law's identity, and asked her to set rules in Songhetang from morning to night.

She was in Songhetang, and she was doing the things of a rough mother-in-law, but she didn't even eat as well as the guard dog.

At that time, Li Jing was annoyed that she "concealed" the fact that the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion had offended the King of Fenyang, not to mention, which made him try his best, but he ended up marrying a scourge, and wished that the Cui family would get her to Songhetang, torture her fiercely, out of sight, and still be able to vent evil anger, so naturally he would not look at the so-called "husband and wife love" and help her intercede.

At that time, she was weak and paranoid, refusing to say a soft word to beg for mercy, so she silently straightened her spine and let them grind......

Thinking of the past, Feng Shujia's heart fluctuated.

This is the second time she has seen Cui's, but the hatred in her heart has not decreased in the slightest compared to the last time.

The last time I met Cui's was when Li Jing eloped with Feng Shuying and was escorted back to Beijing by Zhang Huyuan.

At that time, according to Bai's meaning, he wanted to escort Li Jing directly to Zhongshan Bofu, make the matter as big as possible, make Zhongshan Bofu shameless, and also take this opportunity to neutralize the magnates in the capital, and see who would dare to calculate them like this in the future.

However, Feng Shujia tactfully dissuaded the Bai family, because no one knew better than her the intricacies of the Zhongshan Mansion, and their shameless despicability for the sake of profit.

If they go directly to the door, I am afraid that the Cui family will not only be able to take the opportunity to seize the position of Li Jing's son, but also be able to quibble and pour sewage on the Wu'an Hou Mansion, so that their gains outweigh their losses.

"Mother, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, although this matter was done by my cousin wrong, but we can't completely leave her alone. In case the people of Zhongshan Bofu shirk their responsibilities and beat them up, not only will the cousin's innocence be damaged, but even the Wu'an Hou Mansion will be difficult to get rid of criticism. Feng Shujia couldn't tell the truth, so she could only persuade the Bai family, "Anyway, my cousin has always lived in our house in recent years. ”

Bai thought for a moment, changed his mind, and let people "invite" Zhongshan Bo and his wife to come over, and witnessed their son's despicable inaction, and there was no quibble, so they could only obediently apologize and accept punishment.

Afterwards, Bai also praised Feng Shujia for thinking about everything at a young age.

Feng Shujia was depressed in her heart, and the other people who were originally around the Cui family also hurriedly followed, greeting each other with a kind face.

Feng Shujia had to put away her thoughts and socialize generously and decently.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down.

Originally, this colorful shed was respected by the Bai family, but now that the Bai family did not come, Feng Shujia was a junior, and the Cui family had the idea of winning the first place.

Mrs. Li didn't want to spoil the interest of playing, and when she saw that the Cui family had left her previous seat and sat on the main seat belonging to the Bai family, she just smiled, turned around and sat down in her own seat, and ordered the maid to move two tables and chairs over, so that Feng Shujia and Feng Yuan could follow her.

This was originally what she promised the Bai family in advance to take care of Feng Shujia and Feng Yuan's sister and brother. Now that the Cui family has snatched the Bai family's seat, leaving Feng Shujia's sister and brother with nowhere to sit, she naturally has to find a seat for their sister and brother and save their face.

Cui was originally worried that Mrs. Li would be dissatisfied and wanted to compete with her, after all, although Li Da's identity is not as noble as Zhongshanbo, but he has real power and has to be reused by Emperor Longqing!

Moreover, Feng Shujia and Feng Yuan sisters and brothers followed Mrs. Li to watch the lanterns together, and their relationship was intimate and harmonious, Cui was really worried that Mrs. Li would use Feng Shujia's sisters and brothers as an excuse to embarrass her.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was so easy to speak, Cui's heart suddenly settled down, her tense body relaxed, and she sat on the main seat with a complacent expression, enjoying the flattery of the group of people who were originally around her.

Feng Shujia hung her head, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, Cui is so competitive and greedy for small profits, but she is impatient and has no temperament in the city, sooner or later she will bring disaster to herself, or even to Zhongshan Bofu.

Let's wait and see!
