Chapter 250: Distortion and Instigation
This time is Mrs. Hu's 80th birthday, Hu Shilang attaches great importance to filial piety and handles major affairs for his grandmother, and Mrs. Hu is a first-class lady, so there are many people invited.
There are also many clever people or people who are not qualified to appear at the birthday banquet and go to the house before Mrs. Hu's birthday to see if there is anything they can help or to mention congratulations, so as not to get too many people and it is difficult to say a word.
Dong Guifeng, the eldest lady of the Dong family, is talking to Hu Dongping, the eldest lady of the Hu family.
Mr. Dong and Mr. Hu were officials in the same place in the early years, and the two families often came and went, Miss Dong and Miss Hu were naturally friends, because of the death of her brother, Miss Dong has not been able to go out to visit, and the day after tomorrow, Mrs. Hu's birthday, Mrs. Dong was inconvenient to go out because she was pregnant, so she sent someone to say hello to the Hu family early and apologize.
Miss Dong is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, there is no elder to lead, no matter what, she can't go to the banquet alone, and more importantly, her brother has just passed away, although she doesn't have to keep filial piety, but after all, it is a bit taboo, so she can only take advantage of the opportunity to stay at her uncle's house and go out with her aunt, and quietly come to meet Miss Hu.
Miss Hu felt a little sorry for the death of the eldest young master of the Dong family, in the early years, the two families still had a little meaning, but her father Hu Shilang didn't look down on the cowardly personality of the eldest young master of the Dong family, and then with the smooth career of her father, the two families also had some wrong doors, and that meaning was gone, but after all, they had known each other since childhood, how to say that I was still a little sad.
She didn't want to see Miss Dong, but Miss Dong sent some old things that she loved as a child, which made her feel a little soft, and she was a little sympathetic to Miss Dong's current situation, and she didn't want to have a ruthless and unrighteous reputation, so she still saw her.
A few words of greeting each other, because of the death of Young Master Dong, the two of them spoke a little cautiously. Miss Hu didn't want to make Miss Dong sad, and Miss Dong didn't want to touch the Hu family's moldy head, so she only picked out those innocuous words and said them.
But the girl's house. What can we talk about? The safest rouge gouache on weekdays, jewelry and clothing are not suitable for Miss Dong, her brother has just died, and she can't happily chat with people about food, clothing and dressing up in a blink of an eye, but fortunately, Miss Dong came prepared and talked about housekeeping matters.
A girl's house at their age. It's time to learn to be a housekeeper. lest you don't know anything after you leave the cabinet, don't talk about presiding over the whole husband's house, and even don't manage the little things in your own courtyard, but it's a joke, so these are troublesome but harmless topics to say. It's very appropriate.
The girl's family spoke, and she said it well at the beginning, but she didn't know how, so she was a little off-topic, and Miss Dong pretended not to care and said, "Have you heard of it, Miss Jin San was dismissed." ”
Miss Hu was stunned for a moment and said, "How come?" She and her cousin are not childhood sweethearts, and they have been married since childhood. Could it be that something happened to her family? ”
Miss Jin San is also a lady they met in other places, quite a cool person, the Jin family is a little declining, but this kind of family affair that everyone knows has been engaged since childhood unless there is a great reason, otherwise it is impossible to be dismissed.
Miss Dong sighed and lowered her voice. "It's not that something happened to Miss Jin San. It was her sister-in-law, Miss Jin Si, who was said to have been caught...... Privately taught and received. Even the reputation of his sisters, his cousin's family withdrew, and on the surface, he said that he had found a Xiangshi, and the two children did not match, and they were engaged since childhood, and now they are said to be incompatible...... When this kind of thing happened, how dare the Jin family publicize it, they could only agree to withdraw from their relatives, but the poor third lady of the Jin family and I were in the same disease, and they all lost their brothers not long ago. ”
"Miss Jin San's brother is gone, what kind of illness is there?" Miss Hu was surprised, she hadn't heard of it.
"It's not an illness, it's an ......accident," Miss Dong lowered her voice and said in a voice that only Miss Hu could hear, "He was hit by a carriage and died, and it was no one else who killed him, it was the carriage of the second Miss Meng family." ”
"That Mengjia?" Although Miss Hu was very sure, she still asked more.
"How many Meng families are there in Yancheng?" Miss Dong's face was full of resentment, "It's a coincidence, when my Dong family and the Meng family's convoy were attacked together, my brother was so inexplicably gone, Miss Meng Er was unscathed, but took advantage of this incident to change the law to get to the side of the prince Ding, that is what I said with my own eyes, Miss Meng'er will say that she will personally thank the prince Ding, and after a while, her foot is injured, ask the sergeant if there is any good medicine, anyway, it is full of tricks and sympathy...... I also have to admire other people's means, a little girl, people are bold, at the beginning I thought she was delicate, and frightened, although she was a little disdainful of what she did, but I didn't think so much, until I returned to the capital, the Mengjia carriage had an accident in the mountains, and it was a coincidence that it was in front of the prince Ding, and was saved by the prince of Ding...... You say, this time it's a coincidence, what about the second time? Her carriage had an accident, she herself was unscathed but hit someone else, and then she was engaged to the prince of Ding, but the poor Jin family son was hit to death, the Jin family sisters' reputation was ruined, with Jin Gongzi's talent, if he is still here, there is such a brother with a bright future, how could the Jin family sisters end up like this? ”
When Miss Dong said it, she deliberately blurred the sequence of events, which made it easy for people to have different misunderstandings.
Miss Hu was completely stunned, what Miss Dong said had never been mentioned to her like this, she only knew that the Meng family had climbed the king, but she didn't know that there was such an inside story.
Miss Dong observed her words and continued to sigh: "When I think of the sisters of the Jin family, I think of myself, and I sympathize with each other...... Forget it, don't talk about this, so as not to make you unhappy, I just remind you, let you have a bottom in your heart, Mrs. Tai's birthday, you must invite the Meng family's daughters, you keep an eye on it, the guests are like clouds, don't let the Meng sisters make a scandal. ”
Miss Hu nodded, and then she was a little absent-minded, and Miss Dong said a few more gossips and left.
Sitting in the carriage home, Miss Dong's maid looked at her own young lady, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help it, and said, "Miss, can you tell Miss Hu about these things?" ”
Quexin knows that her own young lady has been dissatisfied with Mrs. Dong a lot recently, so that she refuge in her grandfather's house to make the world think that Mrs. Dong is a mean stepdaughter, and when she gets the opportunity, she tells people that Mrs. Dong is not, but according to her, this is a trick to hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt less than a hundred, adult stepdaughter, her father is alive, and her maternal grandfather family takes care of her, if Miss pretends to be weak and weak, she may be able to win some sympathy, but Miss is not a weak person from any aspect, she can't pretend, so a healthy person, A girl who has no illness and no disaster and has never been beaten and scolded by the court, it is really unconvincing to say that she is mean to her stepmother, on the contrary, if she talks too much, she will be considered rude and difficult to say in the future.
The death of the eldest young master Miss is very sad, but everyone is already dead, and the living life will go on, and everyone can see clearly at that time, the death of the eldest young master really has nothing to do with Mrs., but Miss said that Mrs. gloated and was vicious, it was too far-fetched, and the old man still had pity for the young lady, but the more the master pitied him, the more the young lady cursed the lady, which annoyed the old man, so he simply sent the young lady to her grandfather's house to recuperate to calm her mood, saying that it was out of sight.
The eldest lady has been pampered since she was a child, she has never been wronged, her wife has been married for a few years, although the lord likes the lady, but she has not let the lady suffer the slightest grievance, every time the two have a dispute, it is always the lady who gives in, but now it is different from the past, the eldest young master is dead, the lady is pregnant again, and she returns to Yancheng, the lady has many in-laws, and the lord also has to rely on it, especially the second lady of the Meng family is about to become the princess, and she can't afford to offend, although the eldest lady is arrogant and indulgent, but she is not stupid, how can she not see the shape clearly, So blatantly against Madame? Do you still say this in the future?
The fate of the personal maid and the young lady is closely linked, others may still be able to see the wind and rudder, but she is not a personal maid, she is worried about Miss Dong, and she is also worried about her future fate.
"What did I say? It's just to say something that everyone knows and remind Miss Hu. Miss Dong held her head high and glared at the finch.
"But Miss, I know that you are sad, but now that Madame has a body, you are a girl, so don't screw it with Madame, so as not to embarrass the master." Bird's heart carefully persuaded, and she tried to persuade Miss to be reprimanded, and she had to persuade Miss Meng to say other things, and now Miss Meng Er is angry on Miss Meng Er, who is this Miss Meng Er? The future princess Ding, let alone Miss, even the lord can't afford to provoke her, because Miss is too talkative and affects the future of the lord, Miss will definitely be punished, and she, the first one to be a maid, will be beaten out, because she didn't persuade Miss.
"I know, that is, I reminded Miss Hu, I won't say it in the future." Miss Dong muttered a few words and stopped talking.
If Miss Dong was angry, Quexin didn't think that now that Miss Dong suddenly heard her words, it was because she was reasonable, but it made her feel uneasy, not like Miss's temperament! Isn't there going to be something going to happen again?
Miss Dong didn't pay attention to what Que Xin thought, in her heart this was just a little loyal but stupid maid, and she thought she knew her, but in fact she didn't know anything.
……
Mrs. Meng looked at Su Yiqing with a loving look and tried on the newly made clothes, and said with a smile: "Fu'er, do you think it's appropriate?" If it is not suitable, it can also be modified. ”
Su Yiqing returned a smile and said softly, "Very good, thank you, madam." ”
Ping's mother interjected: "Miss, it's time to call mother." ”
Su Yiqing was a little reluctant, but yesterday, Master Meng had already notified the clan that she had officially recorded her in the name of Mrs. Meng in the family tree and became a concubine, and it was supposed to be called her mother, although she was reluctant, she still called softly, "Mother."
