Chapter 116: Wealth
Jiang is full of grievances, she is the second lady of the Yuanping Bofu, and the fourth rank is in her body, but now she wants to give a niece who is younger than her daughter a monarch and minister, where does this make her face go?
At this time, she regretted it very much, she shouldn't have brought so many maids, if there were only one or two henchmen, it was possible to keep her mouth shut, it was difficult to keep her mouth shut when there were so many people, even if she wanted them not to talk nonsense, it was difficult to find a reasonable reason, she couldn't tell the maids that she was embarrassed to salute her niece, and asked the maids to go back and not talk nonsense.
She couldn't pull down this face, if she didn't work, she couldn't get over the rules, she looked at Su Yiqing in a tangled way, hoping that Su Yiqing could say something and avoid this courtesy.
Generally speaking, the princess of the golden branch and jade leaf marries the family of ordinary courtiers, and according to the law, the courtier's family wants to salute the golden branch and jade leaves, but in terms of human feelings, it is also common for the in-laws and elders to salute their daughters-in-law, so most princesses and county lords are exempted from this ceremony.
Now as long as Su Yiqing says a word, she doesn't have to be polite, and she can avoid this embarrassment.
It's a pity that Su Yiqing only tasted tea with a teacup, and didn't even look at her, while the grandmother and maid behind her stared at her menacingly, as if as long as she didn't salute, they would immediately drag her out for the crime of great disrespect.
As a last resort, Jiang could only bow down aggrievedly.
"Second aunt, please take a seat. Su Yiqing didn't raise her eyelids, her face was calm, her voice was neither high nor low, but her tone was like a subordinate.
Jiang Shi's face was on fire, and a breath of anger went straight to his chest, she knew that the county lord's mansion would be neglected, but she didn't know that she was so despised, she really wanted to leave with her hands, but she couldn't.
The little maid came up with tea, and Jiang Shi pretended to take a sip and said with a smile: "Ninth niece, you have been married for a few days." The second aunt has not come to take a look, thinking that the weather is hot these days, and your uncle has a subordinate in Beijing. I brought some fresh fruit from the south, and I brought you some. The courtesy is light and affectionate, and you will try it for your niece. ”
Su Yiqing only said a few words lightly: "Thank you, second aunt." ”
"Thank you for everything, it's all your own family. Jiang tried to make a very familiar appearance.
Su Yiqing only smiled and didn't speak.
In front of the room full of maids and wives, Jiang suddenly felt embarrassed again, and he was almost intended, but Su Yiqing didn't answer at all. It's even more embarrassing to sit without saying anything.
Angry, Jiang Shi simply didn't speak, and secretly said that she was an elder in the end. She didn't believe that she didn't say anything, Su Yiqing could let her sit like this, this word was going to get out, it wasn't her who was embarrassed, along with the greeting ceremony just now. She didn't believe that this dead girl dared to be so careless.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mama Liang rolled her eyes, whispered a few words in Su Yiqing's ear, and then withdrew.
Su Yiqing, as Jiang expected, still spoke. The little maid brought a few small snacks and said with a smile: "Second aunt, this is a new snack made in the kitchen, you can try it." ”
Jiang Shi was a little proud, look, this Su Yiqing really didn't dare to hang her, so she pretended to taste it, and just wanted to speak, but saw that Mama Liang came in again, followed by a mother-in-law.
After the mother-in-law came in, she ignored the Jiang family at all, kowtowed directly to Su Yiqing, and then said: "County Lord, those pots of white peonies by the gate of the East Cross Courtyard have withered, do you want to replace them with red peonies or black chrysanthemums?"
Su Yiqing wrinkled beautifully, seemed to be very distressed, as if talking to herself and as if she was saying to the little girl: "If you change to a red peony, it is a peony, which is the same as before, but I don't like the color of the ink chrysanthemum very much, are there any other flowers in the flower room?"
The mother-in-law said: "Yes, there are also eighteen bachelors of camellia are also blooming well, does the county lord like the red eighteen bachelors or the white eighteen bachelors or the pink eighteen bachelors......"
Jiang Shi was stunned and watched Su Yiqing and the mother-in-law ask and answer, from the difference in the color of this camellia to how many pots to place, whether the pots are big or small have to be compared and discussed, and it is easy to finalize it, the mother-in-law retreated, she was about to speak, and a little maid came in.
The little maid was asking the county lord what he needed for dinner, and the kitchen was ready.
This time, Su Yiqing did not ignore the Jiang family, and first asked the Jiang family: "Second aunt, can you have dinner here?" I will let the kitchen cook a few more dishes that you like to eat." ”
"No, no, I'll have something to do when I get back to the house later. "Jiang Shi is not shirking, this time she is really inconvenient to eat here, not to mention facing Su Yiqing, it is estimated that she has no appetite.
Su Yiqing no longer persuaded her, and had a good discussion about the choice of dinner from ingredients to cooking.
Jiang Shi was sitting on pins and needles, but it was not good to interject when Su Yiqing was talking.
After the little maid retreated, Su Yiqing finally showed an apologetic smile to the Jiang family and said, "There are many trivial things in the house, which makes the second aunt laugh." ”
"Everywhere, everywhere. Jiang Shi smiled dryly, and was about to find an opportunity to cut to the chase, when another daughter-in-law came in outside the door, holding an account book, saying that it was the purchase of the new season in the house for Su Yiqing to decide.
Jiang Shi was full of anxiety, but he couldn't find a chance to speak, so he calmed down, and secretly said that as soon as this daughter-in-law left, she would have to speak before the next maid came in.
Who knows, this daughter-in-law didn't leave, and two more daughters-in-law came in, and after saluting, they stood aside respectfully and waited for a reply.
Jiang Shi was stunned and couldn't find a chance to speak.
As time passed little by little, it was almost dinner time, and she couldn't wait for Su Yiqing to leave her for dinner, so she had to say goodbye.
Su Yiqing only ordered her mother-in-law to send it, and she had to discuss things with her subordinates.
As soon as the Jiang family left, Su Yiqing immediately said to Mama Liang: "Mama has worked hard, go to the account room to get ten taels of silver, and let the kitchen add a few more dishes, and have a good meal with the maids and mothers-in-law just now." ”
"Reward from Lord Xie. Mama Liang's eyes were smiling, silver was second, and the most important thing was to show her face in front of the county lord.
This Second Lady Su dared to put on a score in front of the county lord with this little bit of caution, I really don't know what to do.
Jiang returned in vain, and when he returned home, Second Master Su was sitting in the courtyard, and next to him, his Xinna's aunt Piao Piao was waiting in front of him, holding a bunch of fresh grapes and feeding them to Second Master Su one by one, and Second Master Su laughed with Piao Piao while eating.
Seeing this scene, Jiang's heart was full of blood and rushed to her brain, she was angry outside, but her husband was happy with this little slut at home.
Seeing that Jiang's face was not good, Piao Piao lowered his head and bowed lightly, and then twisted the water snake's waist and retreated behind Second Master Su.
Second Master Su didn't care about Jiang's expression at all, or that this wife has been yin and yang in recent years, he was used to it, so he didn't care, and only asked eagerly: "I'm back, what did the nine girls say?"
Jiang Shi glanced at Piaopiao fiercely, and then said aggrievedly: "Master, these nine girls have quirks, you don't know, I really tried my best, but she didn't even let me speak, you don't know that she asked me to salute her......"
"Shut up, she is the county lord and the king, it is natural for you to be polite, and it is disrespectful for you to complain, do you want to affect the whole family. "Second Master Su is a civil official, he has always paid attention to etiquette, and he is most afraid of being caught, so he immediately scolded him.
Jiang Shi lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, he had been married for so many years, and when Second Master Su saw her like this, he immediately guessed that things were not done, and immediately put on a straight face and said: "How did you do it? You can't do this little thing? It's really useless." ”
Jiang Shi said aggrievedly: "Master, this nine girl has just been married for a long time, I don't think she necessarily knows about the things outside the man, and it's useless to ask." ”
"Madame's words are not right, I heard that the ninth aunt and the ninth aunt are very affectionate, and after marriage, the prince will live with the ninth aunt and grandmother to the Dingwang Mansion. Piao Piao pursed her lips and smiled, and threw a wink at Second Master Su, "Even if Grandma Jiu doesn't know about this, it's not a trivial matter to help ask the prince, I'm afraid that Grandma Jiu won't help." ”
"Shut up slut, when is your turn to speak here. Jiang's eyebrows were raised, and he scolded Piaopiao, "Get out of here, there's no room for you to talk here." ”
"Eh, master, look at Madame's temper, I'm just telling the truth, even if it's not right, Madame just points it out, why bother to ...... one bite at a time" Piao Piao's eyes turned red as she spoke, tears kept rolling in her eyes, her expression was right, and this weak look suddenly distressed in the eyes of Second Master Su.
Second Master Su immediately yelled at Jiang Shi: "What are you shouting, you are also from a scholarly family, why do you speak so rudely? Do you also have this face to the ninth niece? No wonder the ninth niece hates you so much, I won't care about you." ”
Jiang was speechless.
Piao Piao's eyes turned a few times, and he whispered a few words in the ear of Second Master Su, and he didn't glance at Jiang Shi when he said it.
Jiang hated it so much that he couldn't hear what Piao Piao said even if he stretched out his ears.
After hearing this, Second Master Su showed hesitation on his face.
Piao Piao said again: "I'm thinking about the lord and our family, if I can get on the line with the prince Ding, the lord still needs to worry about the silver?"
"What's our family, you is embarrassed to say these words. Jiang couldn't help but scold Piaopiao again.
Piaopiao's face was aggrieved, and she said delicately: "Master, Madame said, I am a little unwell, so I won't bother you and Madame." ”
Seeing that Piao Piao threw a few winks, twisted his thin waist and walked away step by step, Jiang almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth.
Second Master Su asked Jiang with a gloomy face: "Your relationship with the ninth niece is so bad?
"Master, you really can't blame me, no one in the whole house knows the weird temper of the nine girls......"
"Enough, I don't want to hear you say this, it's really more than enough to succeed. After speaking, Second Master Su brushed his sleeves and left.
