Chapter 163: Jingning Houfu (I)
Lianfu received an invitation from Jingning Houfu.
Mo Shi was very surprised when he heard that it was the invitation sent by Jingning Houfu to Yueyao, and after being surprised, he was full of scheming. Jingning Houfu is now the number one family in the capital, a real family of magnates, if you can get in touch with them, it will be very beneficial to your own family.
Mother Liu reminded the excited Mo's: "Madam, Jingning Houfu gave a post to the three girls, I think it should be the credit of the young lady of the Ma family, Zhuang." "Zhuang Ruolan has a friendly relationship with Mrs. Jingning Houshizi, and it must be the person who introduced the three girls to Jingning Houfu to the Zhuang family.
The Mo family was silent, and their family had to keep filial piety, and it would not be done until the end of next year. During this time, she and her husband can't go out to socialize, but the filial piety of her grandchildren is nine months, and it's no problem to go out as a guest.
Mrs. Liu asked with some doubts: "Madam, Jingning Houfu only invited the third girl to come to the door, do you think there will be anything?" "The Luo family's selection of a companion for Mingzhu has not spread much, and there are very few people outside who know about it.
Mo shook his head and said, "This matter is a little strange, go check it out." ”
Yueyao's heart moved, and she said to the visitor: "Tell the eldest aunt, I won't go to Jingning Houfu, please ask the eldest aunt to help me push it!" ”
Mo Shi knew that Yue Yao was unwilling to go to Jingning Houfu, how many people in Jingning Houfu couldn't stammer, and they personally made a post, this dead girl dared to refuse, didn't this sweep the face of Jingning Houfu? Let the people in Jingning Houfu lose face, they can't escape from it, and Mo also thinks that Yueyao has a good relationship with the people in Jingning Houfu, and in the future, he can introduce Yue Bing to know the three girls of the Luo family, and then get to know those noble girls, so that his daughter can enter the circle of noble girls. If Yue Yao doesn't go now, it won't break her plan, so if Yue Yao doesn't go, she has to go.
Yueyao's face was full of helplessness. Yueyao did have a good heart before, and one more friend is also one more help. It's just Luo Mingzhu's temperament, thinking of this, Yueyao hesitated. This kind of temperament is really not a few people can stand it, and through Ning Lixuan's matter, Yueyao's sense of Luo Mingzhu is a little worse. She can understand that other women are eager for Ning Lixuan, such as Mu Qinglian, nine times out of ten it is for Ning Lixuan's identity. But Luo Mingzhu's fancy is completely Ning Lixuan's face, this kind of person is easy to be fooled and influenced by others, so Yueyao wants to retreat a little.
Yueyao wanted to be friends with Luo Mingzhu at first, but now she doesn't want to. With Mr. Yushan's affirmation, Yueyao also has confidence in her future. As long as she becomes a famous painter, Mo and Lian Dongfang don't dare to do anything to her, unless they want to ruin the future of their children.
Hao's mother understood why Yueyao resisted Luo Mingzhu so much, this Luo family's girl's temperament was really unbearable, but Hao's mother knew it very well; If Jing Ning Hou wanted the girl to be Luo Mingzhu's companion, the girl couldn't escape, and said: "Girl, we can't offend Jingning Houfu, Jingning Houfu is the first powerful person in the capital, even if we can't make friends, we can't offend them." ”
Yueyao didn't want to go, firstly, Mr. Yushan gave her confidence, and secondly, it was also determined by her temperament. As long as she thought that the people in Jingning Houfu wanted her to be Luo Mingzhu's maid, she was uncomfortable, and when she said it, she was also arrogant. Qinggao pride will not disappear because it is reborn once, and what is seared into the bones cannot disappear.
Yueyao thought for a while and said, "You let me think about it." ”
Yue Yao thought for a while, didn't have a clue, and went into the small Buddha hall to copy the scriptures. After copying a scripture, Yue Yao also completely calmed down.
Yue Yao smiled bitterly and said to herself, "What is self-esteem? Is self-esteem more important than life? She only thought about becoming a great painter, and Uncle Mo couldn't help her, but she forgot that she would meet an incomparably terrifying existence in the future, Zhou Shu.
Yue Yao shuddered when she heard the thought of Zhou Shu, who was like a madman. Zhou Shu is wealthy, if she wants to get her by any means as she did in her previous life, if she wants to escape the fate of her previous life, she must have a tough backer. Jingning Houfu has great power in the capital, and more importantly, Luo Mingzhu is loved by the Queen Mother. Although the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, and she doesn't care about harem matters, she can climb up step by step from a seventh-grade low-level concubine, and she can become the most noble woman in the world without a son. If you can get a trace of mercy from the Queen Mother, you can eradicate the tragedy in the future.
Yueyao knocked on her head, she thought far ahead, after all, it was up to luck to get the Queen Mother's mercy or something, or to be practical, if she wanted to give up her self-esteem to be a maid for Luo Mingzhu, she had to give up the corresponding reward. Many things are difficult for her to ascend to the sky, but they are very easy for the people of Jingning Houfu. As long as it is not excessive, I believe that the people in Jingning Houfu will agree.
Yueyao is thinking about what she needs most now, she doesn't lack money, what she lacks most now is people. Yue Yao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that if Jingning Houfu really wanted to be a maid for Luo Mingzhu herself, then she would want a female guard with strong martial arts, and her own safety was more important than anything else.
Yue Bing learned that Yue Yao had received an invitation from Jingning Houfu, and her eyes flashed. Yue Bing wondered if she could go to Jingning Houfu with Yue Yao this time.
Mother Wang shook her head and said, "Girl, I don't know what Jingning Houfu invited the third girl to do." If we rush along, it will definitely be displeased. "Big families are very taboo to come to the door like this. If you are disliked, the gains outweigh the losses.
Yue Bing knew that Mother Wang had a point, but she still couldn't help but feel down. First it was the Luguo Mansion, and now it is the Jingning Mansion, and Yueyao's life is better than her. Yue Bing now felt that no matter what aspect she was, she was worse than Yue Yao.
Mother Wang saw that Yuebing's mood was very low, thinking that it was because of this incident, and after thinking about it, she said: "Girl, don't think too much, although the girl of the Luo family has a noble status, she has an arrogant temperament, arrogant and domineering, and her popularity in the circle of noble girls is very bad, and the daughters who are similar to her don't like her." If the girl is close to Miss Luo San in the future, those people can't help Miss Luo because of their identity, but they will vent their anger on the people around her. "Mother Wang doesn't very much agree with Yue Bing's contact with Luo Mingzhu, if you want to integrate into the circle of noble girls, there is a way, and you can't use this kind of method with endless troubles.
What Wang's mother said was all face-to-face words. She didn't want Yue Bing to befriend Luo Mingzhu because she was worried about one thing. She knew that Luo Mingzhu loved Ning Lixuan, the prince of Ningguo Mansion, and the two often met. If the girl is good friends with Miss Luo, she will definitely see Ning Shizi often, thinking about Ning Shizi's identity and appearance, I can't let Mother Wang not worry. If there is really a moon ice that falls in love with Ning Shizi, it will definitely end in tragedy at that time, even if Ning Shizi is not interested in Aunt Luo in the future, he will definitely not marry the daughter of a five-grade official.
Wang's mother doesn't know what the future holds, but now she must put an end to this possibility. The second girl is still young now, and her heart is undecided, and she will wait for two years to decide on the marriage matter.
Mother Wang thought for a while and said: "Girl, what you have to do now is to learn the six arts and needlework well, and when you go out to socialize with filial piety, you will definitely be able to find good relatives at that time." "Mother Wang thinks that the most important thing for Yuebing now is to learn her skills well. As long as you are capable and talented, you don't have to worry about not marrying a high-ranking family.
Although Yue Bing is a little cautious, she is a person who can be persuaded. Finally, he nodded and said, "Mom, I know." "Yueyao is so popular outside, just because she has a reputation as a talented woman, so she must work hard.
Yueying was very envious of the news.
Cai Qing whispered: "Girl, the third girl didn't know about the capital in Jiangnan before. Who doesn't know the reputation of the girl of the Luo family in the capital, even if such a person has a noble status, he can still not see it. "Luo Mingzhu's name has already been made in the capital.
Yueying thinks so.
The only thing Yuehuan was indifferent to the news, and what she was worried about now was how to deliver the news to Yueyao. She wants to do business, she wants to make money. She definitely can't do it herself, and the only way is to ask Yueyao for help. It's just that I didn't have a chance to meet in private, and I couldn't talk.
Yuehuan looked at Hongmei, she hadn't taken this maid yet, and she couldn't fully believe it, so she could only wait for the time being, and wait until the yard was cleared and the two maids were subdued for her own use, and she would no longer be restrained when the time came.
Yue Yao didn't know that there were still so many people worried about her, she was preparing to go out, and when she went to a place like Jingning Houfu, she must not be weak, otherwise she would be looked down upon by others.
Xijuan found several clothes for Yueyao, and Yueyao shook her head again and again. Even the house has not been removed, and you can't wear it to raise your eyes, but it's too plain and can't be done, and you go to other people's homes to be a guest and wear a plain and unlucky atmosphere.
It took more than half an hour to get it right.
Yueyao has been thinking about things since she got into the carriage, and the flower buds and drizzle around her didn't dare to disturb her. The girl can't be disturbed when she thinks about things.
I don't know when, Yueyao heard someone outside shouting: "Girl, it's here." ”
Yue Yao opened the curtain and saw tall and fierce stone beasts coiled on both sides of the door, and there were several people in gorgeous clothes standing at the door.
Yueyao entered through the side door, which made Yueyao feel a little at ease. The main gate is not wanted, like the high family does not open the main gate unless it is a holy decree or marriage. Generally, guests are allowed to enter through the side door. In addition, there is a corner gate, and the corner gate is for people to wait for.
Now Jingning Houfu let her enter through the side door, also when she was a guest. Yue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, which at least proved that Jingning Houfu's attitude towards her was still very good.
Not long after the carriage galloped into the mansion, Yueyao got out of the carriage. As soon as she got out of the carriage, Yueyao saw a statue made of marble. This statue is five big and three thick, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which is scary to look at.
Seeing Yue Yao's curious appearance, the servant woman at the head smiled and said, "Girl, this is our ancestor Jing Ninghou. ”
This statue is the first generation of Jing Ninghou, as for why he asked people to carve his own portrait and put it at home, it is unknown.
Yue Yao glanced at the woman who spoke, this woman was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a new indigo silk of seven or eight points, with two gold hairpins inserted between her buns, and a gold bracelet on her wrist. At first glance, this kind of dress is not an ordinary servant.
Yue Yao smiled, smiling gracefully, but did not continue to speak. The first time I went to someone else's house as a guest, I chatted non-stop with a mother-in-law, which made people look down on it.
