Chapter 397: The Superior
Su Yiqing saw that Meng Yan looked good, but there was a little envy in her eyes, and then she thought of some of the situation of the Zhou family that Mama Qing said, and she could guess what Meng Yan was thinking.
I really don't understand, what is she worthy of envy, not to mention that although the palace is rich, it is also on the cusp, if she is not careful, the whole family will suffer, not to mention, just the last time Ning Ya'er was disgusting enough.
At this time, Lu Teng came to report, "Princess, the prince asked someone to pass the word, saying that he would come back later, so that you don't have to wait for him, and you can have dinner first." ”
"I see. Su Yiqing said softly, and when she looked back, she saw that the admiration in Meng Yan's eyes deepened.
Meng Yan is young after all, although Mrs. Meng Heping's mother and others have repeatedly told her to know how to hide her feelings, but she still can't be proficient, hearing that the prince is so busy, and if she returns a little later, she will have to order someone to come back to tell her, she is envious, she has just married in the past, and when she is like glue when she is fair, she can go out and tell her in advance that she may come back late, and will not send the little girl back to tell her.
"Sister Yan, I really don't understand something. Su Yiqing looked at Meng Yan's eyes and asked slowly, "What do you envy me?"
"Second sister, I ......" Meng Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, it was embarrassing to be pierced by someone, not to mention such careful thinking, but in a blink of an eye, he was bold and said: "The second sister is blessed and known to the world, who doesn't envy the second sister?"
"I'm asking, what do you envy me?" Su Yiqing asked again word by word, without the slightest smile on her face.
"I ......" Meng Yan was a little at a loss, and was speechless for a while.
Su Yiqing waved her hand, and the maid beside her immediately took a few steps back with great eyes.
The maids brought by Meng Yan were a little late, and at the signal of Ping's mother, they also retreated to a distance where they could not hear their master's conversation.
Meng Yan couldn't avoid this problem. Gritted his teeth: "My brother-in-law is in a high position at a young age, and it is rare that he treats his sister so well, which naturally makes his sister envious, wouldn't he envy a woman with a considerate husband when he is a sister?"
"Considerate husband?" Su Yiqing chuckled, "Sister Yan is only staring at your second brother-in-law in a high position, why don't you choose to marry into a high family?"
Meng Yan was asked. Not without answers. It's just that this is afraid of the non-person who is married, the fear of the risks, how to say these words.
Su Yiqing said again: "Again." You said that your brother-in-law treated me well, where did you see that your brother-in-law treated me well? Before I married into the Dingwang Mansion, do you know how many beautiful women there are in the Dingwang Mansion? Not to mention anything else, just the one sent by the third master of Quan. It was enough for me to be nauseous for a while before I got married, and then Ning Ya'er was entangled. Can't you see any of that?"
"But that's all gone. Meng Yan couldn't help but say, "It is said that it is bitter first and then sweet, second sister, aren't you just bitter now, aren't you worthy of envy?"
"Bitterness comes at a good time. Su Yiqing smiled again. Shaking his head, "Why do people always see the good side of others and ignore the others? I guess you didn't want to, so you chose to marry Zhou's brother-in-law. In this case, take advantage of your own happiness, why compare yourself with others and envy others. ”
Meng Yan lowered her eyes slightly, a little aggrieved, "I'm not doing much, it's just that when I see the happy appearance of the second sister, I feel a little envious, this is human nature." ”
Su Yiqing looked at Meng Yan and said with a clear gaze: "If you are an ordinary person, you may be able to say this, but Sister Yan, you are married to the Zhou family, the newlywed Yan'er, and you show such a demeanor in front of your mother's family, we naturally don't care, but if you also show this kind of affection in front of your husband's family, what will others think?"
Meng Yan was a little weak-hearted, her head lowered a little, and her voice was small: "At home, I will pay attention." ”
"So, you don't need to pay attention in front of me?" Su Yiqing asked rhetorically.
Meng Yan couldn't answer again.
Su Yiqing shook her head, "People can't deceive themselves, it's not easy to live with a mask, obviously not happy, but you still have to pretend to be happy, don't you feel tired?"
"I'm not unhappy. Meng Yan muttered, she was just a little uneven, her married life was a little different from what she expected, the affairs of the Zhou family made her a little upset, and the attitude of Xianggong was even more incomprehensible, and this qiē happened after the third old lady came and the business of the third old lady failed.
She was a little aggrieved and a little disappointed, so she suffered from gains and losses.
Su Yiqing understood Meng Yan's thoughts, the little girl thought that she had made a sacrifice and chose to marry at a low level, there would be fewer disputes, relatively peaceful, the little husband and wife were more affectionate, and his husband should cherish her more, but he didn't expect that things had a little bit of deviation, and some consequences were disappointed if they were not fully expected.
"Sister Yan, think about my situation before, if it were you, would you be willing?" Su Yiqing had the heart to explain.
Meng Yan didn't nod or shake her head.
Su Yiqing said: "That's it, no matter what, since you have chosen this path, there is no possibility of turning back, you can only grit your teeth and move forward, in fact, according to my current opinion, the family you married is good." ”
Meng Yan is not picky about the Zhou family, she just hopes to have a better life, and before she returns to her hometown, the Zhou family has already brought her so many troubles, how to face the Zhou family after she is a little afraid, and said: "Xianggong is a good person, treat me very well." ”
Su Yiqing said: " Not only is your father-in-law a good person, that is, father-in-law, I also know a little bit about some things, as a man, he is very responsible, and has done the best he can do, but many things can not be changed by one person's strength, no matter how good it is for a man to be soft-hearted, even if you are not his favorite, he can also fulfill his responsibilities, which is much stronger than those who only pursue personal feelings for their own selfishness regardless of the family's body and wife and children, those who are weak and three thousand, only take a scoop of drink, in fact, it is very dangerous, people's feelings can't help but control themselves, he can not care about a qiē for you today, others may not be able to abandon you for others, even if it is not the relationship between men and women, there are some other involvements, and there are always more important things for a man than a woman. ”
Meng Yan pays attention to the first half. After hearing only the second half, I was a little frightened and asked, "What should I do then?"
Su Yiqing's expression was indifferent: "Do what you can do or should do, but ask for a clear conscience, you won't say anything afterwards, you already know how to do it and so on, as long as you are sure that you have done nothing wrong now." No regrets. Even if something happens in the future, there will be less pain. ”
Is it? Meng Yan thought thoughtfully.
At this time, a little maid outside hurriedly ran in, looking panicked. Something seems to have happened.
Seeing Meng Yan, he hesitated a little again.
Su Yiqing didn't speak, just looked at the little maid coldly.
The little maid glanced at Meng Yan again, gritted her teeth and took two steps forward. knelt down and said, "Princess...... There is a ...... out there There were two palace maids sent by the palace, saying that they were here to serve...... those who serve the prince and the princess. ”
said. The little maid seemed to be afraid of punishment, but she didn't lower her head to the ground.
"What should I do? Su Yiqing said coldly, "Aren't they just two palace maids, tell Xue Niang." Just arrange a small yard anywhere. ”
"But...... But ......" the little maid was a little afraid to say.
"Needless to say, you go down, you're not very fit to talk. I'll tell you later, and I'll give you another errand. Su Yiqing commanded lightly.
"The princess spares her life. The slave knew she was wrong. The little maid immediately panicked and kowtowed.
Su Yiqing didn't care about her anymore, and she didn't look at her.
Green Vine immediately took a few steps forward, looked left and right, and said, "Why don't you help this little girl up, won't it be possible for her to kowtow and bleed and disturb the princess?"
The two sturdy servants next to her immediately stepped forward and pulled the little maid up, one left and one right.
Qing Mama was preempted by the green vine, a little annoyed, at this time saw the opportunity, loudly reprimanded: "You little girl, just to pass on a word, and it's not a big deal, the words are stammering, the princess doesn't want to embarrass you little girl, but thinks that you are not articulate enough, give you a change of errand, what are you afraid of? Actually kneeling and begging for mercy like that, people who don't know still think that the princess wants to do something to you? ”
"Slave, slave and maid know that they are wrong. "The little girl didn't dare to stutter anymore this time.
Su Yiqing said lightly: "It's okay, it's a pity for the young man, and the courage is also small, in this way, Qing Mama, you see what quieter errands there are, let her do it, it's not easy to make mistakes, so as not to be shocked all day long." ”
Qing Mama thought for a while: "There are a few apricot trees planted in the west corner, you just go and look at those trees, see a few trees can't go wrong no matter what, and the work is easy, unless you sleep lazy all day and don't do anything, otherwise no one will punish you." ”
The little maid's face turned white all of a sudden, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering, as a messenger maid, she just passed a word on weekdays, and she could ask for some reward if there was a happy event, and now she was relegated to the corner to see a few trees, and it was true that no one was punished, and the trees were not taken care of at all, and the decent maids and grandmothers would not go to the corner, which was equivalent to expelling her to the corner.
But Qing Mama and the green vine can't find anything wrong with their words, and now they are afraid that they will lose even the errand of looking at the tree, thinking about this, the little maid can only say: "Thank you, princess." ”
Su Yiqing nodded with satisfaction, and the two servants helped the little maid down.
Immediately afterwards, the maids and servants in the palace also retreated to their original positions, as if nothing had happened.
Meng Yan was stunned from the sidelines, and she didn't know for a while whether to worry about the second sister, whether she should admire the second sister's composure in handling this matter when the palace sent two palace maids.
Su Yiqing said casually: "Envy?"
"Huh?" Meng Yan didn't know how to answer again, it was not a happy thing to say this, where did envy come from?
Su Yiqing smiled: "Your second sister and I are so majestic, I easily changed a person's fate, and sent the little maid to the corner to be a sprinkler and sweeper, which scared her soul, it's good to have rights, isn't this worthy of envy?"
"Second sister...... Meng Yan is not a soft and glutinous character in the end, I can hear that the second sister seems to be laughing at her, and her heart comes up, and she can't help but say: "That little girl seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old, to spread this kind of news, it is understandable to be afraid that you will be angry second sister, why should the second sister ......"
"Sister Yan, it's a good thing to be soft-hearted, but it's not applicable all the time. Su Yiqing glanced around slightly, and said indifferently, "That little girl made a mistake today, first of all, she shouldn't be so worried, obviously she saw that I had a guest, so she went straight in, the incident happened suddenly, that's it, after seeing you, he hesitated with a sneaky face, which made people misunderstand that something unseemly happened, if I took my sister you as an outsider, avoided you, asked her what happened, and even if I came back and sued you, wouldn't you doubt that there is really only such a thing, is there anything else to hide?"
Meng Yan thinks about it, it is also a little possible, and she and her second sister are sisters, even if the family is a little bit together, it doesn't matter, if it is another noble lady, I am afraid that I will not be happy if I am so sneaky.
Su Yiqing said a little coldly: "Now that I am the master, they are just little maids, dare to make mistakes and ruin my reputation, I am already good if I don't punish me severely, how can I let it go lightly when nothing happens? If I gently let go of this one today, I am afraid that a bunch of people will make mistakes tomorrow, what should I do then?"
Meng Yan remembered what her mother said, if you help one, there will be a second and third to ask for something, on the surface, these two things are not the same, but after thinking about it carefully, the meaning is actually the same, and she can't help but be a little convinced: "The second sister makes sense." ”
"There is any reason, but it is all a last resort. Su Yiqing's eyes dimmed slightly, "If I could, I wouldn't want to embarrass such a small maid, but if I don't embarrass her, I'm embarrassed myself, not to mention that today I just expelled her to the corner to be a rough maid, even if it ...... That's what I did. ”
The indifferent words made Meng Yan's heart startled, and she looked at her second sister in disbelief, although the sisters had some disputes and unhappiness before, but the help of the second sister made her feel that the second sister was not a cold person, but the second sister is like this today, she was originally like this, or did she become like this after getting married?
"Second sister, are you alright?" Meng Yan asked cautiously, not daring to ask too directly.
"What do you mean about those two palace people?" Su Yiqing said casually, "It's okay, aren't they just two palace maids?
Meng Yan saw that her tone was calm, but the meaning was indescribably weird, and she couldn't help but feel even more worried, and regretted coming to this trip a little, maybe the previous approach was right, Dingwangfu really shouldn't come to this place, bowed her head and said: "Second sister, I was wrong."
