Chapter 262: Fawning
Meng Yan was in a trance for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say again: "Second, when my sister was sick, I decided that the prince would ...... This is not in accordance with etiquette. β
"That's because the prince is nervous himself, what's the matter with your second sister? Your second sister will be so sick that she doesn't know who is going to know. Mrs. Meng was not red and her heart was not beating when she said that she was panicked, and immediately said, "Prince Ding is a person who values love and righteousness, and there are many rumors outside, and Prince Ding is also worried that your sister really has something, and the reputation of his wife is nothing, I am afraid that some villains will catch the wind and shadows, saying that your second sister was killed or something, and the prince is also afraid of a case." β
"Mother, can I not go to the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow?" Speaking of which, Meng Yan still didn't want to go to any birthday banquet, she was a little afraid of those gossip.
"No, you have to go. Madame Monte spoke in a tone that could not be refused.
"You can go with the second sister, I didn't often attend such banquets before. "Meng Yan doesn't want to be judged with this second sister anymore.
"Your second sister is not going. After Mrs. Meng finished speaking, she saw her daughter's surprised gaze and explained, "Your second sister will be out of the cabinet next month, she has to stay at home to prepare, it's normal not to go, but you can't not go, otherwise the last time ...... Others will have bad speculations, so you have to walk out with your head held high, and the rumors will be self-defeating. β
The second sister didn't go, Meng Yan should have felt relieved, but for some reason, she was even more worried, so she was the only one.
"Are you afraid?" Mrs. Meng saw the fear in her daughter's eyes, and her eyes became stern, "You felt wronged before? I think that my second sister was not as good as you, but now she is being held by the whole family? You should have seen in your boudoir that many noble girls whose backgrounds are not worse than you are looked down upon for various reasons, while some people who are not as good as them can be more popular, Xiuwen County Lord is an example, the daughter of the county king, but the biological mother is a dancer. It's okay to say that the identity is noble. It's not too much to say that she is low, she can let a noble girl follow her and act according to her eyes. With what it is, it is a courage, and now as a mother, you can say that your second sister will marry in the future. To become the Ding Princess, many princesses and princesses from higher backgrounds than her and famous ladies all have to look at her face. I don't dare to come out in front of her, it's not her background, but that she has the courage and means, if you can't show some courage. In the future, bow down in front of your second sister and be small, and look up to people to snort, otherwise you will wait for bad luck. Do you remember Miss Hu San? She was married to Hong Ergongzi a few days ago, and this is a living example. β
Miss Hu San was married to the second son of Hong. This news made Meng Yan startled, and blurted out, "How is this possible?" The notoriety of Hong Ergongzi is well-known among noblewomen, thinking about Miss Hu San's shy and cowardly appearance, she would never have imagined that Miss Hu San would actually be married to Hong Ergongzi, and Miss Hu San's mother is not a stepmother.
"If it weren't for your second sister, you would be the one who is married to the second son of Hong now. Mrs. Meng took a dose of fierce medicine, "As your second sister said, you got drunk and ...... with the second son of Hong At that time, even if you die, you will have to die in the Hong family, no one as a parent can save you, and you have to be grateful to your second sister for this. β
β¦β¦
When Mrs. Quan Si came to the Mongolian Mansion, she was told that the old lady and the third lady had gone to the banquet, and she didn't know when she would come back, Mrs. Quan Si couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she had nothing to do today, and it didn't matter, just because her mother's family sent some wild nuts picked in the deep mountains and old forests, which were the most suitable for making snacks.
Gifts are still exchanged, relatives are getting closer and closer, sending too valuable, people are not good to accept plainly, and it is troublesome to return gifts, these worthless but rare things are the best, generally send back two kinds of home-made snacks or fresh fruits sent by others, the woman chats between them, contacts more feelings, I can't think of Mrs. Meng's absence, I waited for a while, and I didn't see the Meng family come back, and it was not good to disturb too much, just let the ceremony arrive.
Mrs. Quan handed over the gift to the steward, and walked under the leadership of her mother-in-law, and when she passed a small pavilion, she saw a figure in red not far in front of her sitting under the flower tree, and she couldn't help but be moved, and said to her mother-in-law with a smile: "It's the second lady of your mansion in front, right?"
The mother-in-law said: "Yes, the second lady likes to pick silk threads in the sun recently. β
Mrs. Quan Si took the opportunity to say, "Since you have met, can you allow me to go over and say hello?"
"This ......" The mother-in-law looked a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, she was about to run into it, after all, Mrs. Quan was Mrs. Quan's mother's family, and it was not good if she didn't say anything back, so she nodded, "Please wait a little longer, the old slave will come." β
The mother-in-law came soon, and to the surprise of Mrs. Quan, Miss Meng Er actually walked behind the mother-in-law, and before she could think of a greeting, Yingying saluted her, and said, "Hello fourth uncle." β
"Second niece...... It doesn't have to be so polite. Mrs. Quan Si was a little flattered, according to the generation, she can indeed afford this ceremony, but the family of the powerful, the in-laws are innumerable, the descendants of the Quan family are luxuriant, the population is large, there are more than 20 daughters-in-law of this generation, it is really serious to meet and salute one by one, plus those of the older generation one by one, I am afraid that I don't have to do anything except salute one day, although I have met once before, but at this time and that time, the identity of the second lady is very different, and she has no other thoughts is to meet the greeting Bo eye, it seems to be seen in the future, and she never dares to rely on the generation to press the second ladyγ
Su Yiqing saluted seriously, and said with a light smile: "I didn't know that the fourth aunt was coming, Xiaofu was sluggish." β
"No, no, I disturbed the second niece. Mrs. Quan Si hurried, and then her eyes rolled, and she glanced at the needlework and silk under the flower tree in front of her, and said, "Is the second niece doing needlework?"
Su Yiqing nodded and smiled lightly, "I'm just picking out some silk threads for wedding dresses...... I heard that the fourth uncle's needlework is good, if you are not in a hurry, can you give me some advice?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here to visit the door, but it just so happens that your mother is not there, and she is idle?" Mrs. Quan Si said earnestly, which is exactly what she couldn't ask for.
If it comes to the color matching of clothes, the selection of styles and silk threads, etc., Mrs. Quan Si is confident that she will never lose to any embroiderer or tailor in the capital, since this niece who is about to fly on the branches is interested, she naturally has to do her best.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Quan Si was in a happy mood in addition to the gate of Mengfu, this time it was really an unexpected joy, I didn't see Mrs. Meng's mother and daughter, but I was able to talk to Miss Meng Er, although Miss Meng Er didn't talk much, it was really the tailoring style, silk thread selection and embroidery needle method to listen to her opinion, if everything has a beginning, it will be easy to do in the future.
Got on the carriage back home, and then carefully recalled every word that Miss Meng Er said and every word she said, and made sure that there was nothing wrong, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought about it again, because she didn't know much about Miss Meng Er's temperament, she didn't dare to say a word except for needlework, but Miss Meng Er didn't say a word more, and she didn't even give her a chance to say off-topic, was it habit to say not much or deliberately? If it's deliberate, it's nothing, if it's habitual, this kind of heart is not to be underestimated.
King Ding can choose her as his wife, but it is not rash, such a girl is indeed suitable for the Dingwang Mansion that is quite chaotic in the inner house, after marrying, unless the Ding Wang Ye really does not like to deliberately suppress, otherwise the Ying Ying Yanyan of the Dingwang Mansion who is a person of color can really not shake her status.
In the past, when the king had no wife, many noblewomen were muttering in private, what kind of peerless beauty can be a princess? Where is the identity of the king, the talent is so outstanding, the girl with a poor family background and appearance can not marry in the past, but no one thought that it is okay to remove a few conditions, the identity of the king is noble enough, and there is no need for a princess with a particularly prominent family background to add icing on the cake, and it doesn't hurt to have a lower background, as for the appearance, the beauties in the palace are like clouds, and it is impossible to find an absolutely glamorous one, since this is the case, it may not be too stunning, only the last item is left to learn or ability, being the housewife, there are no elders in the palace, this princess must have a superior skill, and if she is a little weaker, she can't hold it down, according to this view, Miss Meng Er's background and experience like this are extremely suitable.
Now that the family affair is a foregone conclusion, as long as Miss Meng Er can marry in the past, she will be able to sit firmly in the position of Princess Dìng, in the end she is nominally the granddaughter of the Quan family, even if she will not deliberately take care of the Quan family, just by virtue of one name, the Quan family can benefit, if she takes care of one or two more, then it is much stronger than making a hundred noble ladies.
It seems that in the future, I will come to the Meng family to walk around, what I saw today, Miss Meng Er is not disgusted with her, and for various reasons, whether it is the Meng family or the whole family, there are no elders to help take care of family affairs, and Mrs. Meng alone obviously can't take care of many things.
Mrs. Quan Si was suddenly high-spirited, and her previous frustrations were swept away, as if she saw a bright avenue that she had not seen before......
In the evening, Mrs. Meng came back with her daughter, the official position of the Lin family is not as good as that of the Hu family, and the foundation is not behind the Hu family, so the birthday of the old lady Lin is not as grand as the Hu family, and the number of people in terms of scale is less than half of the Hu family, and there are no too noble people, so it can end early.
