Chapter 59: Fool
was reminiscing, suddenly a middle-aged woman wearing a hundred butterflies and a flower jacket walked a few steps in the direction of Shang Wanyan, her eyes fell on Shang Wanyan and swept around, then raised her eyebrows, pinched Jinpa sideways and said to Zhong Xueying:
"It's a good boy, and it looks like he's getting along well. Niece of the Zhong family, didn't you prepare a meeting gift for the little lady of the Shang family? β
Although Zhong Xueying is widowed at home, she is thin-skinned, and when she heard the woman say this, her face changed, and she regretted why she had to go through this experience.
Ten fingers involuntarily twisted in front of him, his lips turned white, and he subconsciously said, "What did Aunt Xu say this?" Xue Ying is no matter how presumptuous she is, it is not good to be presumptuous in Yongping Bofu, so many uncles and aunts are here, how can Xue Ying surpass many elders! β
As soon as she said this, everyone present, including Shang Wanyan, changed their faces slightly.
It is indeed inappropriate for Mrs. Xu to provoke such words at this time. But Zhong Xueying and the family affairs of the Marquis of Wuwei were arranged by the queen's mother, and everyone present knew that there was nothing to hide.
If you don't meet it, it's just that, since you "met", Zhong Xueying, as the elder of Shang Wanyan and others, should give face to the Shang sisters in front of outsiders. The Shang sisters have face, so that she herself will not be laughed at.
What's more, this "encounter" was intentional by Zhong Xueying herself.
But with a word, she put her relationship with the Shang family sisters in a position with the other ladies and ladies present, which really made everyone a little despised.
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong are the elders of the two dynasties, and there are more good things at home, so what is it worth to prepare one or two meeting gifts for the children?
Zhong Xueying is clearly giving her future stepdaughters no face in front of everyone.
The expressions on everyone's faces were filled with excitement and inquiry, waiting to see how the Shang sisters reacted.
Second Mrs. Shang was angry in her heart, but she was not good at standing up for the big house, if she didn't come out, Shang Wanwan and Qin Wan would be even less qualified.
Shang Wanyi remembered the grievances he had just suffered all the way, and now seeing that Shang Wanyan and Shang Wanyi were as "unlucky" as herself, not only was she not angry, but she had a little more schadenfreude excitement.
It's just that she also knew how inappropriate it was to show her excitement at this time, so she lowered her head and simply continued to pretend to be aggrieved.
Shang Wanyi's face was flushed with anger, and her willow eyebrows were about to make a fuss. When Shang Wanyi saw it, she secretly scolded "idiot", and hurriedly pulled Shang Wanyi to stop Shang Wanyi from speaking.
Shang Wanying smiled, stepped forward, bowed generously to Zhong Xueying, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the aunt of the Zhong family, Wanyan has just arrived, and she doesn't recognize the aunt of the Zhong family, which is rude." β
Then he beckoned Shang Wanyi and Shang Wanyi to come forward and salute without changing their faces, Shang Wanyi and Shang Wanyi had the intention not to listen to her, but with so many pairs of eyes watching, they didn't dare to make a reputation for disrespecting their sisters, so they had to endure the unhappiness in their hearts and obediently stepped forward to salute.
Everyone listened to Shang Wanyan's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all covered their mouths and snickered, and their eyes still glanced at Zhong Xueying from time to time.
Zhong Xueying's face turned red with anger. She was not polite to Shang Wanyan, and Shang Wanyan was even more unkind to her.
Zhong Xueying has not yet entered the door of Wuwei Hou's Mansion, Shang Wanyan naturally can't call her "mother", she is now widowed at home, and she is Shang Wanyan's father's fiancΓ©e, Shang Wanyan is not suitable to call her Mrs. Zhong or Miss Zhong, it is even more difficult to call her Sister Zhong, she is younger than Shang Wanyan's mother, and after entering the door, she should call Shang Gu's sister, so Shang Wanyan can't fault calling her "Aunt Zhong" at this time.
But the word "aunt" has another meaning.
Shang Wanyan did this, which not only fulfilled her etiquette, but also showed that the young ladies of the Shang family were not easy to bully. knocked on the future stepmother, and he was stunned to pick it cleanly, so that people couldn't say it was bad.
Second Mrs. Shang quickly glanced at Shang Wanyan, and secretly admired in her heart, thinking that if Siniang had this means, she would not have to worry about Siniang becoming a relative and being wronged in her in-law's house in the future.
Shang Wanyan looked at Zhong Xueying with a smile from the Shang sisters, so that Zhong Xueying couldn't get out of the fire in her heart, and finally the lady beside her reminded her, so she reacted and smiled at the Shang Wanyan sisters and said two kind words.
In the end, there was no gift for the Shang sisters.
Shang Wanyan sneered in her heart, she originally thought that Zhong Xueying had also said a few sincere words to her in her previous life, and she should not be a person with a bad heart. Now she understands that Zhong Xueying may not have a bad heart, but she is stupid.
Such a fool, no wonder she couldn't fight Aunt Gu in her previous life, who was far inferior to her.
However, Mrs. Yongpingbo appreciated Shang Wanyan a little more during this back and forth, broke the embarrassment with a smile, pulled the Shang sisters to her side, and said with a smile: "You are here, I don't want to wash the cui and red wax, you sisters come to accompany me to see this peony flower!" β
As he spoke, he smiled at the people around him: "I don't know if people are better looking, or flowers are better-looking." β
The lady beside her was the third lady of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, and when she heard this, she smiled and said: "I don't dare to say that people are good-looking, the flowers are good-looking flowers in your own family in Yongping Bofu, and that's it, if I say that people are good-looking, what if you snatch people back?" Wu Weihou is not fighting with you yet! β
This remark made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was lively again. Mrs. Yongping Bo took the opportunity to introduce the Shang family sisters to everyone present. Shang Wanyan and several people called people politely.
It's just that, except for Mrs. Min San, there is no one to give the Shang family sisters a meeting gift. No matter how bad Zhong Xueying is, it is also the daughter of the first-class Taifu, the foundation of the Marquis of Wuwei is still shallow, and everyone has no friendship with the second lady Shang, even if they despise Zhong Xueying's behavior in their hearts, they also follow Zhong Xueying to despise the Shang family sisters.
The wife of Guozi Jian Guo Xijiu whispered to the wife of Dali Siqing: "How good are these Shang sisters, the future housemother will not carry them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead." I thought that after all, she was an upstart in Jindu, and the girl in my family was good friends with the fourth mother in their house, and the little sisters of the same age were just moving around, but now it seems that there is no need. β
Dali Siqing's wife nodded: "Who said it wasn't!" They just came, and they showed them that it was a quasi-child, who knew that they would meet a woman like the widow of the Zhong family. What a pity! β
Although it is ugly, it is the real thoughts in everyone's hearts.
Zhong Xueying pricked up her ears and heard only a few words, only then did she know that she was reckless, but what else could she do if she spilled the water when she said it?
In the end, under the pretext of being unwell, he said goodbye to Mrs. Yongping Bo and left.
As soon as she left, everyone commented on this matter without scruples, which made the situation of Shang Wanyan and others more and more embarrassing.
Jin Shu felt a burst of resentment in her heart, she originally thought that with a new housewife, someone would take care of Aunt Gu, and the young lady's life would be easier to say. Who knew that this future housewife would be so virtuous, and she hadn't cleaned up Aunt Gu yet, so she would find trouble with her young lady first!
Seeing this, Mrs. Yongping Bo was so angry in her heart, she let Zhong Xueying, who was ignorant, ruin her good appreciation of ice poetry, her face was silent, but she had already made up her mind in her heart, if there was a banquet in the future, she would definitely not invite Zhong Xueying.
The more disgusted she was with Zhong Xueying, the more Mrs. Yongping felt more and more pity for Sister Shang Wanyan, and immediately smiled: "Everyone comes to this greenhouse to see peony flowers, why do you talk about people in front of my flowers?" If the flowers have feelings, they may be so sad! β
In the end, they didn't dare to offend Mrs. Yongpingbo, so everyone hurriedly stopped the words in their mouths and praised the peony flowers according to Mrs. Yongpingbo's meaning.
Shang Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked at Mrs. Yongpingbo's eyes with gratitude. I was about to whisper my thanks to Mrs. Yongpingbo, when I heard a maid at the door of the conservatory say loudly: "Uncle is here with a few masters!" β
Mrs. Xicui and Mrs. Red Wax hurriedly greeted them, and said, "Aren't you outside, why did you come in here?" β
As he spoke, Mu Qing, the son of Yongping, had already opened the curtain and walked in, followed by a few handsome descendants. The women in the room looked over in unison, and Rao is descendants were playing at home all day, and they couldn't help but blush.
Shang Wanyan also followed everyone to look over, and Shang Xizhou looked at this side with bright eyes, and called with a smile: "Yuan Niang!" β
Shang Wanyan nodded at him with a smile, then moved his gaze to the person beside him and froze.
It's Han Luoshuang.
