Chapter 577: No Good Feast (1)
invited the Chen family, and outsiders could think that the Chen family wanted to be close to Huo Baorou, so they borrowed the name of Princess Qing for a banquet.
After all, Dong Wende's favor for Dong Ruyi is well known, and the relationship between the Chen family and the Huo family's big house is not good, and it is not a secret in the circle of noblewomen.
This matter is nothing to outsiders, but in Chen's eyes, it is not like that.
Chen said: "Yingchun, you said that the New Year is coming, why did Princess Qing set up such a banquet?"
Yingchun said: "The slave doesn't know, if the lady doesn't want to go, she can't go."
At that time, it was said that the New Year Festival was approaching, and there were many things in the house. As for Princess Qing's side, she is familiar with us, so she naturally knows the reason. ”
Chen said: "It's like what you said, and you don't want to think about it, if it's really that simple, why did she post."
Since I've made a post, this is what I want to do.
Actually, it's nothing, at most it's just a few ugly words, and it doesn't hurt anyway.
Maybe it was my aunt's request. ”
Yingchun said: "Uncle wife, that lady can't go."
The uncle's wife, who had eyes on the top of her head, now that the eldest lady wants to be her daughter, she must not grow her eyes to the sky.
According to the slave maid, this is to dismount the lady. ”
Chen sighed and said: "If it is a dismount, she can be treated well, and I will admit it."
Alright, let's get busy!"
Seeing this, Yingchun hurriedly said, "Madam, are you really going to go?"
Chen said: "Okay, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about our friendship with Qingwangfu, I have to go." ”
Yingchun sighed the same, "That lady has to wear the body that Miss made for her wife, and then see who of them dares to look down on us." ”
Chen was amused by Yingchun's words, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Tell the people in the house that you are not allowed to tell the eldest lady about this. ”
Yingchun said: "The slave is awake, the eldest lady is different from the past, as far as her current temper is concerned, seeing that her wife has been wronged, she may not be able to say which one she is really annoyed."
At that time, it will be the lady who will be embarrassed. ”
Chen nodded, she also thought so, Huo Baorou is the acting princess recognized by the acting king, no matter how disliked she is, it can't change that she is Dong Ruyi's stepmother in the future.
Stepdaughter and stepson are not easy to live, thinking about what Dong Wende suffered in the Dong family, the Chen family has already made up her mind, even if she bows her head, she will have a good relationship with Huo Baorou.
The New Year is approaching, and there are many things in various provinces, so Princess Qing set the time in the afternoon.
She also deliberately said, don't delay the affairs of the house, and come over when it is done.
As for lunch, those who have time and time can eat at Qingwangfu.
It's just that Princess Qing said so, and the others didn't dare to really have lunch in King Qing's Mansion.
Everyone pinched the time, had lunch early, and as soon as noon passed, they arrived at Qingwangfu one after another.
Because it was a gathering of Princess Qing's generation, the ladies did not bring their children.
Except for an elder of the Huo Tian clan, all of them were of the same generation.
Princess Qing sat on the main seat, and she waited for everyone to arrive, so she said: "Please come over, first, to gather, and secondly, to celebrate that our little sister Baorou has a good home." ”
Chen sat in the corner, she looked at Huo Baorou, no matter how she looked at it, she felt inappropriate.
With a haggard face and godless eyes, she doesn't look like a bride no matter how you look at it.
In addition to Huo Tian's mother and daughter, there are also Princess Qing's sister Zhang Guo and the second and third ladies of the Huo family.
The second lady is the daughter of Huo Gang's wife, she grew up under the nose of Huo Tian, and even the marriage was chosen by Huo Tian.
Whether she marries or not, she can't escape the control of the Huo Tian clan.
Princess Qing continued, "... We have more than a dozen cousins, and these are the only ones who married into Beijing.
From the day we got married, we will be our husband's family.
Filial piety to in-laws, giving birth to children, we are either busy with this or that busy, and we have been divided for a long time.
I just thought, it's better to get together again before Baorou gets married.
If you don't wait for Baorou to become the princess, you will be on behalf of the princess, and you won't be able to get started for a few years if you are not busy. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhang Guoshi said: "No, everyone was busy earlier, and they didn't have time to communicate, so they will have to come and go for a long time in the future." ”
Miss Huo Er said: "It's still our Baorou who is blessed, last year, we didn't think that Baorou would be a princess."
I used to envy Sister Guo, and I will envy my fourth sister in the future. ”
Miss Huo Er praised Huo Baorou while talking about the interesting things that happened in Beijing this time.
It's just that no matter how interesting she said, several people's eyes still fell on Huo Baorou.
Fortunately, although a few people were curious, no one asked.
Zhang Guoshi said: "That's the reason, we used to have the eldest sister to help us, but now we have a fourth sister, and the fourth sister has become the princess, but you are not allowed to ignore us!"
The atmosphere suddenly came alive.
Everyone, you and I have a word, complimenting the future princess.
Huo Baorou responded unwillingly, the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.
When Huo Tian saw it, although his face was calm, he was anxious in his heart. Knowing this, she brought Baorou over earlier.
The more Chan looked at it, the more wrong it became.
She asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with Cousin Baorou? ”
The hall fell silent.
Miss Huo San burst out laughing, "The younger sister of the Chen family is still so... So which pot you like is not opened. ”
Chen hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I am..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Miss Huo Er's words: "Cousin Chen, think too much! The fourth sister is a saint to marry, and this kind of marriage is different from ordinary marriages.
As far as the rules of the Ministry of Rites are concerned, they are tiring enough. In addition, trying on wedding clothes and setting jewelry, all of this is exhausting. ”
Princess Qing said: "It's just that I care about Baorou, and it's worth taking it out." ”
She said and gave Chen a look of fineness.
Huo Baorou pulled the veil, lowered her head, and said a word.
Zhang Guoshi said: "What the two sisters said is that in my opinion, Sister Chen has this kung fu to take care of the side, so it is better to take care of her own family."
I heard that on the day you and your brother-in-law returned, he also went.
Huh..."
Zhang Guoshi covered his mouth and smiled, and continued: "As a result, he indiscriminately beat the young lady of the Shandong prefect. ”
Princess Qing said: "It's not over, Your Majesty has already made a conclusion about Miss Zhang's beating of Miss Zhang, and this matter is that Miss Zhang is missing the number of courtesies, regardless of Ruyi." ”
Zhang Guoshi is the sister of Princess Qing, but she is a concubine. She was jealous that her eldest sister could marry into King Qing's mansion, and she hated that the relationship between the Chen family and Princess Qing was better than her.
Chen is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, she has read poetry and books since she was a child, and Princess Qing has naturally gotten closer to her daughter before she left the cabinet.
Miss Huo San said: "I think what Sister Chen said is reasonable, this marriage is busy, it shouldn't be like this, right?"
