Chapter 487: Face
In the face of Su Yiqing's questioning, Lu Teng only said respectfully: "The slave maid and others will never dare to do anything that endangers the safety of the princess." ”
Su Yiqing said: "If you are sincere, you may not, but sometimes there will always be accidents, and you don't know anything in advance?"
"The princess once said...... If the slave or maid does not want to answer, they may not answer. Green vine calmly said something that surprised Su Yiqing.
Su Yiqing looked at her for a long time, and then said, "It's okay, you go down." ”
Green Vine saluted and slowly retreated.
Su Yiqing let out a long breath.
Everything today was beyond her expectations, but she had nothing to say, or rather, there was no one to talk to in the huge Dingwang Mansion.
I sat alone by the window for a while.
Green vine came in again and reported: "Princess, the Zhou family has sent a post inviting you to the wedding of Miss Zhou and the son of the Shi family." ”
The Zhou family, Zhou Cai'er, and Su Yiqing thought for a while before they remembered, and couldn't help frowning: "Why is it so fast? It seems that this family affair has been set for less than half a month." ”
Green vine said: "It is said that it is the day chosen by the old lady of the Shi family, and the old lady of the Shi family believes in numerology, saying that it is the best good day in ten years after three days. ”
"It's really nonsense, can't you get married at another time?" Su Yiqing was very disdainful, she didn't believe in numerology, but sometimes she couldn't be too, but forget it, it's none of her business, so she said: "Just send a congratulatory gift to the past." ”
"Yes, Princess. Green Vine finished. Before he retreated, he said, "Princess......"
Su Yiqing said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Green vine nodded and said: "The slave maid wants to say, maybe the slave maid's words have made the princess a little misunderstood, the slave maid ......"
"I don't have to explain it, sometimes the reason is not very important, and the result is the same. Su Yiqing smiled faintly, "You don't have to confess to me, you don't have to deceive." I'm already satisfied. ”
"The slave knows that she is humble. It's just that the slave and maid also really respect the princess, and the princess is a good person and treats people very well. Green Vine said sincerely.
Su Yiqing smiled again: "I am a good person, I have heard many people say this sentence." But most of them came to the end. I'm afraid I won't think so. Okay, you don't really have to say too much, you have your identity and responsibilities. Our positions are not the same, and there are occasional conflicts, and it is too extravagant to say that we are sincere and false, and we just do what we should do. ”
"Yes, it was the slave and the maid who overpassed. Something seemed to flash in Green Vine's usually calm eyes, and then she retreated.
Su Yiqing sighed secretly, not that the maid can't have feelings, but the previous lesson told her that the difference in status is too great, and she can't be a real friend, in addition to her position, there are many things that she can't agree with.
In the past, I often heard some naïve ladies say that they are like sisters with that maid, sisters are equal, and they can show their displeasure, but can they show their displeasure to the young lady? The sisterhood relationship based on respect and inferiority is not equal at all, and it is too naïve to say that sisterhood is too naïve.
It's just that listening to the words of the green vine, it's not that he doesn't know anything about what happened around Princess Xiangshan, it's just that it's inconvenient to say it.
In fact, she and Princess Xiangshan don't have any friendship, and their positions are still a little opposed, but out of sympathy for Princess Xiangshan, she still asked a few more words.
It's better to check it slowly yourself, pay attention to it, you can't count on the green vine and the grass in everything, the words that came out of the two of them were still deleted after all.
It seems that you still have to go out, or find someone to talk to, judging from some clues, I haven't seen Mrs. Quan Si for a long time, and Mrs. Quan Si still knows more about the situation outside, so you can talk to her.
……
On the other side of the Zhou family, the family preparations are almost complete, but there are still some small problems in the banquet, mainly how to greet the guests.
The Yang family found Meng Yan and asked, "Has the post been sent to Dingwang's Mansion?"
Meng Yan was really a little speechless, how could they come to this kind of family, how could the princess come? The rules of the people are indeed to be invited, but it also depends on the situation, the noble family, there are a lot of relatives who are cornering, if every relative who touches a little bit of relatives is going to come to a happy event, then there are ten doppelganger techniques I am afraid that it will not be enough.
People are of the same status, and similar banquets will come to the banquet.
Otherwise, the disparity in identity is too great, and it is not easy to arrange the seats alone, and the status is noble and senior, who sits in the main seat and who sits in the second?
"Dingwangfu is now a master of the second sister, but I'm afraid I won't have time to come. Meng Yan tried her best to tell the Yang family the news that the second sister would not come.
Yang said: "We are a big happy event, I heard that your second sister went out of the house two days ago and went to the housewarming of a prince, which is much more important than the housewarming." ”
Meng Yan really wanted to roll her eyes, this Yang family was well-informed, and she even knew when the second sister had gone out, but she didn't know it.
However, the vision of a small place is too small, and many things are based on the customs of their own place.
She didn't want to think about it, could the Zhou family be compared with the Prince's Mansion?
My relatives are also a bunch of them, with a low status, as long as they are invited, they will definitely come, regardless of intimacy, it is an honor to be invited by someone more noble than themselves.
"Why don't we invite you personally?" Yang did not give up, and made such a suggestion.
The daughter is married into a high family, if the mother's family has prominent relatives to attend the wedding, it can add a lot of glory to the daughter's face, and the in-laws dare not underestimate it.
Meng Yan said patiently: "Mother-in-law, we don't often go to the door of the palace...... Xianggong also has to rely on the imperial examination, if he often goes to the Dingwang Mansion, it will cause gossip, and in the future, if he passes the Xianggong examination, others will also say that he does not rely on his true ability. ”
"How could it be, isn't it possible that serious relatives don't have to go?" The Yang family only felt that Meng Yan was perfunctory, and said, "Could it be that your Meng family looks down on the Zhou family?"
"Mother-in-law, the second sister has married into the Dingwang Mansion. It can't be said that it is from the Meng family. "Meng Yan is almost patient, what the Zhou family, the Meng family, this Yang family is really too.
I remember that the Yang family was not like this before, when I first met, the Yang family was still a very standard housewife, and she had the bearing that she should have, and she didn't give her own mother, why did she change so much during this time? It was like a different person, and the little family became angry all of a sudden.
Yang still wanted to persuade Meng Yan. Anyway, let her second sister come over. Supporting the façade, I heard that there are many dignitaries and nobles on the Shi family's side, and on my side, Meng Yan's mother is higher. But there is still no title of commandment. If only there could be a princess. The identity of the visitor went up.
Meng Yan was impatient to entangle with the Yang family, so she found an excuse to slip away first.
Back in his own house, secretly disdainful. Let's not say that the status of the Zhou family is low, the relatives are uneven, some people are very blind, just this family affair is a big mistake, the second sister is willing to come, it's strange, not to mention the second sister, even her own mother, she doesn't want to come.
Because of the face of my in-laws, I have to come, and if I want to make some jokes in the future, I may even suffer some gossip with my own family.
The Shi family is so anxious about family affairs, for fear that people will regret it, it seems that Shi Gongzi's problem is really not small.
But fortunately, it was ordered urgently, and everything was simple.
Zhou Caier's dowry was carefully accumulated by the Yang family a few years ago, but it only took some time to transport it from his hometown, and the guests just didn't need to invite too much, saving trouble.
On my side, some relatives of the Meng family naturally want to come, only the Quan family, it is not really invited, it is not invited, and in the end, I still invited the more sociable Mrs. Quan, and there is no need to invite more.
In this way, I still feel that something is wrong, for fear that the third old lady will know which room they will know, and something will happen.
After thinking about it for a while, she still went back to her parents' house and discussed it with her mother.
Madame Meng didn't care about these trivial matters at the moment.
The Meng family also had an incident recently, which is not big or small.
It is her son Meng Guang, who recently had a small disaster, this disaster is small, but in fact it is not small, when Meng Guang went home to visit relatives two days ago, he beat a son surnamed Ji.
Generally speaking, young people, it is inevitable that there will be some quarrels occasionally, and it stands to reason that it is not a big deal, but the problem is that this Ji Gongzi is the brother-in-law of the mother-in-law of the princess of Guojun.
It's really hard to say that they are related to each other.
The cause of the incident is even more difficult to say.
On that day, Meng Guang came back to visit relatives, and met Miss Lewen, the prince of Guojun, who came back from the convoy, and then the convoy met with Ji Gongzi and his party.
Somehow, the coachman next to Ji Gongzi had a conflict with Miss Lewen's coachman.
At that time, the two sides didn't know each other's identities, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were a lot of powerful people, and many of them were foxes and fake tigers, and they were used to running rampant on weekdays, and they didn't take others seriously.
Probably Ji Gongzi is also a little frivolous, I heard that there was a young lady sitting in the carriage, so I connived at the subordinates to mess around, wanting to meet this young lady.
As soon as there was a conflict between the two, Meng Guang just caught up, so he naturally had a hard time.
Although there are many servants in Ji Gongzi and his party, Meng Guang and a few brothers in the military camp are even more skilled, and they beat Ji Gongzi and his party to pieces in a few clicks, all of them lie down, and then go home to complain.
This kind of thing, the identities of both parties are not ordinary, if you are a little generous, you will scold your son, big things into small things, small things into small things, you can't conflict with people outside for the sake of your son, and form an enemy?
Master Ji didn't say anything.
But Mrs. Ji doted on her son a little, listened to the ins and outs, and was familiar with the relationship between the Meng family and the Guojun Palace, so she couldn't help muttering a few words, probably just some gossip about Lewen.
Ji Gongzi was beaten and always wanted to take revenge, but he refused to come forward, so he could only find a way by himself.
So I arranged some gossip between Meng Guang and Miss Lewen, and said everywhere that the coincidence was a private meeting.
No, there have been some rumors on the streets these days.
These rumors are really not big, but they are not small, they will affect her son's future in the future, and Miss Lewen, who will marry into the Meng family in the future and go out to meet people, how can she be troubled by such rumors?
Meng Guang was a young man, and after listening to these gossips, he was so angry that he wanted to go to Ji Gongzi to settle accounts, and wanted to teach Ji Gongzi a lesson again.
was stopped by her, some things will get bigger and bigger, you really have to ignore them, maybe the rumors will subside in a few days, but if you ignore it, it will really get more and more intense.
stopped it, but this matter, seriously speaking, the son is really innocent.
Mrs. Meng was upset for her son, and the attitude of the Guojun Mansion made her even more dissatisfied.
I don't know if the princess of Guojun spoke for her mother's family, or who said something in front of the princess of Guojun, in short, the princess of Guojun sent someone to hint a few words.
to the effect that he suspected that his son was following Lewen and wanted to meet Lewen or something.
What is not in accordance with the rules, please teach your son well, he is also a child of the family, he should not be so frivolous and indirectly ruin the reputation of his daughter's family.
Mrs. Meng is really depressed, her son is obviously uneven, how can he become a gentleman who steals incense and jade?
The Guojun Wangfu is also too indiscriminate.
In the face of gossip, it is precisely when the two families want to work together to deal with it, how can they blame each other and doubt each other.
However, Ji Gongzi and his party were rude to Miss Lewen first, and then spread rumors no matter how thick, why didn't they see the Guojun Mansion to go to the Ji family to settle accounts, but suspected that their son was following?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the son is a little curious about his fiancée, it is human nature, and it is not a big deal, not to mention that his son has not done anything at all, but he has to bear such a crime.
For the first time, Mrs. Meng felt that this was not a good family business, and she used to think that the status of the young lady of the Guojun Mansion was noble, but at that time, the Meng family was not as good as before, and it was also a trouble for the Dingwang Mansion.
I kind of want to marry a high-ranking daughter-in-law for my son, but now that I think about it, it's really not cost-effective.
Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, this princess of Guojun is so indiscriminate, can the daughter she taught be good? Don't be like her mother, unreasonable, then wouldn't her own son be wronged?
There is such an annoyance, how can Mrs. Meng be in the mood to pay attention to the rights and wrongs of the Zhou family now, Zhou Caier is married, and she will bear the consequences in the future, although her daughter can't stand it and will be troubled in the future, but there is no way to do it.
She doesn't want to care so much anymore, if she manages too much, others will gossip instead, and she will be complained about in the future, thankless, and the Zhou family is not worth her attention to it.
If it weren't for her daughter's sake, she wouldn't even want to participate in Zhou Caier's marriage ceremony, she really didn't like the mother and daughter, she was too ignorant, and she would trouble others all day long. (To be continued......)
