Seeing Su Yiqing's cold and indifferent appearance, Master Meng has always been unhappy, but now is different from the past, he didn't dare to get angry, just like that, he got into the carriage first, he is a military general, he generally likes to ride a horse and doesn't like to ride a car, but this time in order to have more contact with his daughter, he can only take a carriage.

Mrs. Meng asked people to help Su Yiqing and Meng Yan get into the car first, and she got on last, and there was a maid sitting in the back, and the group set off so mightily.

On the carriage, Mrs. Meng carefully advised, "Yan'er, you are young, you should follow your sister during the banquet later, don't be greedy to run around alone and let people see jokes." ”

Master Meng also said, "Your sister has never participated in this kind of banquet, you have to take care of your sister more, and there will be a lot of nobles in the future, don't be big or small." ”

When she said this, Mrs. Meng closed her mouth, Meng Yan glanced at Su Yiqing, replied yes, father, and then bowed her head and said nothing.

Su Yiqing got into the carriage and kept lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes to be obedient, as if she hadn't heard Master Meng's words, anyway, Master Meng didn't say anything to her, she didn't have to say anything, she wouldn't be wrong if she said a few words, so as not to let Master Meng use the topic to be a loving father and say something disgusting.

But the old man woke up and knew that he had said the wrong thing, as if he was reminding his second daughter that she was a concubine, had never seen the world, and was prone to jokes, although he did have this concern, but saying it to his face was not a good thing, and the atmosphere in the carriage was embarrassing.

In the past, this kind of thing was Mrs. Meng who came forward to make a big round for Mr. Meng, but now Mrs. Meng just didn't know, which made Mr. Meng embarrassed for a moment but couldn't think of any remedy, fortunately, Meng Fu was not very far from Hu's mansion, just a few streets, and it would be there in a while.

The group entered the Hu Mansion under the leadership of the Hu family's slaves, and Master Meng was a male guest. It didn't take long for them to separate from their female dependents and enter the front of the second gate. The mother-in-law who led the way from the Hu family glanced at their group, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Meng took a look at it and immediately understood the crux of the problem, it was her negligence that she brought a grandmother and a maid out, but her daughter still went out as before. A grandmother and two maids. And Meng Xiaofu is also a mother and two maids, so in this way, there will be more descendants in their family.

In the past, it was only their mother and daughter. Meng Ye is also a third-grade general, so naturally it doesn't matter, but now Meng Ye is only a six-rank official, and it is obviously not suitable to bring so many maids and servants, if it weren't for the special status of their family, I was afraid that the mother-in-law who led the way would speak out at the beginning, and now people don't speak. She can't be ignorant, otherwise she will only annoy the noblewomen present by bringing this group of people in a mighty way.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Meng said, "Grandma Qing, green vines, rosegrass." The three of you come in with us. The rest is waiting outside. ”

"Yes. "Other maids and mothers-in-law can say that Meng Yan's two personal maids seem to be a little aggrieved. It's just that in the face of Mrs. Meng's fierce gaze, no one dared to say anything, and he bent his knees aggrievedly and went out under the leadership of the Hu Mansion maid.

Mrs. Meng saw that her daughter didn't say anything, but her hand holding the handkerchief was a little tight, so she gently held her daughter's hand and shook it without a trace to show comfort.

Meng Yan felt a little aggrieved in her heart, but she had heard a lot from Mrs. Meng for a while, analyzed the situation in the house, and knew that the fight for leisure at this time was worth the loss, and her mood was calm for a while.

Entering the flower hall, many ladies had already arrived, and people who knew each other came to greet each other in a subtle way, but all the eyes fell on Su Yiqing, scrutinizing, exploring, and ridiculing.

Su Yiqing didn't seem to notice it, following Mrs. Meng's side, neither humble nor arrogant, saluting when she should salute, calling people when she should call people, she was generous, and the women who couldn't cultivate at home didn't notice anything, and those noble ladies who had become sperm couldn't help but be secretly surprised, it was actually different from the rumors.

Doesn't it mean that a girl who is older and grew up in the countryside can have such a bearing, and is very elegant in her gestures, which can be cultivated in a short period of time? Look at that style is actually more generous and calm than Meng Yan's serious concubine, and in terms of appearance, it is not bad, it is very bright but not tacky, the jewelry worn by the clothes is all well matched, and I can't find a trace of mistakes, but it is Meng Yan on the side, at a young age, the color of the clothes and the jewelry worn are too gorgeous and heavy, and the plainness makes people feel that there is a little less girlishness.

Of course, there are also some people who can't cultivate at home and secretly mock and say something in a sour tone, if you haven't seen the world, you haven't seen the world, and it's a big red dress and an embroidered peony, for fear that others won't know that she is about to fly on the branches?

These noble ladies talked behind their backs, Mrs. Meng didn't hear it, but those weird eyes can be seen at a glance, many of them are jealous, don't look at even Yufeng with the name of his wife, and he is romantic, but he is still a golden son-in-law in the eyes of many people, especially those who are thinking about the power of the Dingwang Mansion and are reluctant to endure hardships with their own flesh and blood, and they are still thinking about wait-and-see, seeing that their family can actually marry a concubine to take advantage of it, how many red-eyed, these short-sighted people can't see their family's current predicament, and will only blindly envy, envy is followed by jealousy, and then it becomes hatred。

With hatred, you naturally want to take revenge, carefully plan what is not, it is normal to find an opportunity to make a little stumbling and make them ugly, Mrs. Meng knows this well, secretly paid attention, looked at the two girls in her own family, and did not let them leave her side, so as not to be calculated by people with intentions, especially Yan'er, some people with ulterior motives will especially take advantage of girls of this age, the family has suffered great changes, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are less knowledgeable and instigated by a few words, in this kind of occasion where noble ladies gather, saying the wrong word is also very likely to affect your life.

As for Meng Xiaofu, she doesn't have to worry about it, the helpless concubine can come to this point, and the scheming can be seen, and then look at the posture of the two maids in the palace, others can't calculate them lightly.

There were a lot of people in the flower hall, the ladies greeted each other, the banquet had not yet begun, the acquaintances talked in twos and threes, Mrs. Meng acted in a low-key manner, only chatting with those women who were related and kind, and talking about some trivial things such as dressing, in view of that family business, although there were many mockers in their eyes, but no one dared to provoke them head-on, Meng Yan and Meng Xiaofu followed her step by step.

This kind of banquet, the maids and women brought by the provinces themselves can not move around at will, can only stand in the designated place unless the host is specially called, otherwise they are not allowed to come forward, whose maids and women walk around, although others do not scold, but are regarded as a symbol of uneducated, or look down on the host's family, the maids of Hufu wear a uniform pale pink dress interspersed with it, serving tea and pouring water snacks.

Su Yiqing followed Mrs. Meng step by step, did not take a single step, did not say a word, maintained a faint smile, these are not difficult for her, back then in Yuanping Bofu, this is the most basic etiquette, Mama requirements are particularly strict, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be half-hearted, after all, women are not talented is virtue, these are just to cultivate sentiment to make their temperament better, not to indulge in it, but etiquette is the basic measure of a young lady, you must not take a wrong step when you go out.

"Madame Monte. A young woman came with a girl of fourteen or five years old to greet her, and said to the girl beside her, "Dongmei, call Aunt Meng quickly." ”

"Aunt Meng. The girl hid behind her mother shyly, and greeted Madame Meng a little shyly.

"Niece, really good, Fu'er, Yan'er, this is Mrs. Husan, and Sister Dongmei" Mrs. Meng smiled and said hello, then took the girl's hand and looked at it carefully, took off a jade bracelet in her hand as a greeting gift, and praised, "She looks really smart, this is the second sister of Meng, the third sister of Meng." ”

Hu Dongmei looked shy, her cheeks were red, and she still whispered under her mother's signal: "Miss Meng is good." ”

Su Yiqing and Meng Yan also saluted Mrs. Hu San, and Mrs. Hu also took off a pair of gold bracelets in her hand and gave each of them one as a meeting gift.

Su Yiqing took the gold bracelet, heavy, the handiwork is very fine, it should be very valuable, I have just seen a lot of noble women, and they have not given a meeting gift, which is a bit interesting, it is not uncommon for the elders to meet and give a meeting gift, but it is necessary to divide the occasion, if the two families meet separately, it is nothing, now the hall is full of noble women, there are many daughters, and it is a bit of favoritism to give this and not to that, so it is generally not given, what does Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Hu San mean like this now? Is there any special meaning? But this is none of her business.

Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Hu San exchanged a few words, and seeing that the girls on both sides were a little restrained, Mrs. Hu San smiled and said: "Dongmei, you lead the two sisters to the back garden for a walk, and the young people talk together, and they know each other." ”

Hu Dongmei nodded, blushing at Su Yiqing and Meng Yan and said, "Two sisters, sisters, please come here." ”

Mrs. Meng seemed a little unhappy, but at this time, she didn't seem to be able to find the words to refuse, so she had to explain to Meng Yan, "Follow my sister, don't run around, come back after playing for a while, Fu'er, take your sister to play together, you have to take care of your sister as a sister!"

If she could, Su Yiqing would rather follow Mrs. Meng than leave, although it was boring, but safe, once she left, who knows what will happen?

But looking around, those noble ladies seem to have left the flower hall one by one under the leadership of the Hu family's daughters, and most of the noble ladies dressed up in the flower hall are dressed up, and if they don't leave, they are also dazzling, and then think about it, what can these noble ladies who have no power to restrain chickens do? At most, they can say a few ugly words, and they have experienced so much, and they can still hurt her with a few bad words? Looking at Mrs. Meng's eyes, she seemed to sigh secretly with pleading, and felt sorry for the hearts of the parents in the world, so she nodded secretly. (To be continued)

ps: It's also a very old-fashioned story to be calculated and framed for a banquet, but it is called a skill to write a new old-fashioned story, isn't it?

As the old saying goes, this is a small **, right?
