When Yiying returned to the flower hall, the prince and his wife had already left, but there were still many people in the flower hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Except for Old Madam Song, who looked at her with an unkind face, there was also a silver-haired old lady sitting on the lower right, who was Mrs. Cheng.
Yihua and Minyuan sat at the top, and when they saw her, they both affectionately called her forward, but Yihua's eyes were a little more probing.
As she stepped forward to salute, she couldn't help but take a closer look at the legendary figure. At the age of more than forty, his skin is like the first snow, and he is very well maintained, and he really has a good life in the future.
The unpleasantness that happened in the garden just now, naturally she couldn't hide it from Yihua's ears, she felt sorry for her daughter's loss of face and was unhappy, and on the other hand, she was jealous of the strength she showed, and the expression on her face was a little unpredictable.
After all, she was a guest at someone else's house, and Min Yuan's news was not so well-informed, but when she heard that Yi Ying was uncomfortable, she was busy looking her up and down: "...... said it was a heat stroke, but it got better?" Mrs. Cheng was also a little concerned when she heard this, and looked at Yiying.
"It's okay, let my mother and second uncle and grandmother worry. Yiying smiled and said softly.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, Zhao Yuan's body is really too weak, the sun is not too strong today, why is he also suffering from heat stroke?" Yihua took over the conversation when he heard this, fiddling with the tourmaline beads in his hand, and looked at Yiying with a smile.
Old Madam Song also snorted coldly when she heard this, and said in a strange manner: "What Yihua said is true." The body is so weak, I am afraid that it will not be easy to give birth in the future......"
Min Yuan lowered his face when he heard this, it is difficult to say whether Yihua meant anything else, but Mrs. Song's words were too malicious. As a woman, in addition to De Rong's speech, it is the ability to give birth to and raise that is valued by the in-laws, and the external rhetoric back then was easy for people to misunderstand that Yuan Yuan's body and bones were not good, but there was no way to do it, the lesser of two evils, it was better than letting people say that the dignified county lord was abducted by gangsters and ruined his reputation...... When Mrs. Song said such a thing, it invisibly caused a great obstacle to Yuanyuan's family affairs.
She glanced at Mrs. Song, held back her anger, and explained warmly to the ladies in the flower hall who listened to her words with different expressions: "I can't say that, Zhaoyuan's body and bones have long been fine, but he has just returned to Beijing, and he is not very suitable for the climate in Beijing, and he is not accustomed to the water and soil......
She remembered the injuries that Yiying had suffered before, and she didn't know if there were still sequelae, and when she returned to the house, she had to let the doctor take a good look......
Old Madam Song was used to being the only one, and she was still angry about Yiying Fangcai's rudeness in her heart, and refused to put it down gently, so she smiled again: "Although it makes sense, but I have been recuperating in other places for so many years, it must be because of my poor health, and now that I have returned to Beijing, Minyuan, you still have to pay more attention." "A tone of teaching, but he grasped this matter and didn't let go.
Min Yuan hated it so much, but he couldn't, this pit was dug by themselves at the beginning, and outsiders inevitably speculated like this, Song just said what others didn't dare to say. She glanced at the people present, and found that many of them had gloating or approving looks on their faces, and their hearts were even more depressed.
Yiying watched this farce, she just wanted to support her forehead, and her physical discomfort was just an excuse for her, and she could even provoke half of the aristocratic circle in Kyoto to gloat together...... It's hard to be human.
Old Madam Cheng looked at it coldly, put down the teacup, and said casually: "The old sister is wrong. Seeing that Mrs. Song looked over, she said: "It's not a question of whether you are sick or not, but it is a feng shui problem, and the Queen Mother said it early in the morning." It's just that how many years you have to be raised outside, it's hard to tell outsiders, and the old sister said yes?"
Old Madam Song was a little surprised, the Cheng family has never shown the intention of protecting the Xue family's big house in front of outsiders for so many years, what's the matter today? Could it be that the two families are going to reconcile? She couldn't help but be a little suspicious, although she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the name of the Empress Dowager Gao, but after hesitating for a moment, she still insisted and said: "Feng Shui is such a thing, but it's not ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cheng's gentle voice: "You can also believe a few points." Seeing that Mrs. Song was a little angry, she said unhurriedly: "Didn't the queen mother also be criticized by the feng shui master for not being suitable for living in her hometown, so she ......" The latter words were not spoken, but she just picked up the tea again and took a sip.
Most people were still a little foggy when they heard it, and Old Madam Song's face had changed drastically, and she said continuously: "What you said is that there are some things that still need to be believed." ā
Yihua was already a little remorseful at the moment, and secretly complained that Mrs. Song was blindly interfering, almost making things unfinished, and hurriedly said: "This palace is also a mouthful, it's all a trivial matter, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Song, you two old people drink tea, this is tribute tea, and it has a different flavor compared to ordinary drinking." ā
Min Yuan glanced at her, and while secretly grateful to Cheng in his heart, he also made a note for Yihua, but his face was not obvious, he only picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea with an expressionless face.
The old lady Song was stunned, and after taking a sip, she praised it repeatedly, and finally opened the page.
The rest of the people still pricked up their ears and wanted to hear some inside stories about Queen Song, but the four of them stopped the topic, and they didn't want to mention it rashly, and they were depressed for a while and threw it aside, chatting about the world.
Yi Ying listened on the side, and after a few turns of heart, she understood what Mrs. Cheng meant, and couldn't help but have slightly dark eyes, and hooked the corners of her mouth mockingly. Song Jingran used this reason back then to let his daughter be a concubine on the road today.
What do you say is high and self-controlled, and I feel that the dynasty is sluggish, and it is not that I see that I have no chance to get ahead and can't get the right, so I chose to fight for a good reputation instead, but as soon as I met the ambitious King An, I left those reputations behind, and for such a funny reason, the Song family quietly followed King An to the side to gain King An's trust......
Now that the Song family is rich, and I think of the fame, the old things of the year have been concealed to death, for fear of losing the women's virtue of the Song family......
In order to protect her, Mrs. Cheng and Min Yuan actually did not give Mrs. Song face so much, and poked the scars of the year, she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart, such a good family, she must do her best to protect it.
Speaking of her family, she thought of another person, and couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, and asked Mrs. Cheng with a smile: "Second uncle and grandmother, where is Sister Zhen?"
Mrs. Cheng's face was also slightly pale when she heard this: "We're late today, and the girl is about to look for you as soon as she gets out of the carriage, but no one sees her, and she may be wandering around the yard now, looking for you." ā
Yi Ying was also happy to hear it, and after seeing too many false and wronged snakes, the ladies of the family who had to make more than a dozen bends when they said something were particularly appreciative of Yi Zhen's straightforward and clever temperament. She took a look, and saw that there was no young lady next to her in the flower hall, and the secret path was probably that the prince and the others had left, and everyone dispersed to play again, so they also bent down and left.
