Chapter 408: Arriving Home Safely
After Jiang Mi met Chai Rong that day, Zhao Kuangyi criticized Jiang Mi when he invited her to play chess in the house the next day. He said that Jiang Mi did a stupid job of inviting hatred to himself for the sake of others. If he hadn't known that she had offended Chai Zongxun a long time ago, he was afraid that the lesson would be more severe.
Because Zhao Kuangyi was kind, when he taught her, his attitude was like a brother and a father, and he was worried about her, so Jiang Mi not only did not get angry, but obediently admitted his mistakes, and then returned to the house with Zhao Kuangyi's smile.
After a few more days, Jiang Mi heard the news that Miss Shi, the eldest daughter of the general surnamed Shi, fell into the river while playing, and she didn't find it after looking for a day.
This matter was not a big deal, but with Jiang Mi's well-informed, he knew that this Shi girl was the mastermind behind the three daughters of Wang Yingxue who almost became Chai Zongxun's concubine room that day. Don't look at this stone girl as just a poor girl who can't read big words, but she is still really scheming, that day she calculated that Wang Yingxue's three daughters wet their clothes, and then arranged for men to break into their changing rooms.
Such a powerful person, suddenly fell into the water at this juncture, naturally Wang Yingxue and others began to fight back.
Sure enough, five days later, the embarrassed Shi girl took her "husband" family to the gate of Shifu. But it turned out that not long after the stone girl fell into the water, she was picked up by a single person in a mountain downstream, and that night, the single girl had a round room with the stone girl. Originally, Miss Shi finally found a chance to escape, but she didn't want to be caught by her husband soon after escaping. In order to avoid being beaten by her husband, she had to reveal her identity.
As soon as they entered the gate of Shifu, they regarded themselves as relatives, and when they opened their mouths, they asked for money and wealth, and where could Miss Shi's father stand it? They were born in a poor family, and they did not pay attention to any name or honor, so they put the bachelor in prison on the spot and forced him to break off relations with Miss Shi.
However, although Miss Shi finally got rid of the best family, she was a girl with outstanding beauty and scheming that was rare among women, but she eventually became a broken shoe, and she would marry in the future, and she could only find it in a low place.
Because Wang Yingxue, the daughter of the family, has always been leaky, and every detail has been done without traces, so Miss Shi poured such a big mold, but her family has always thought that it was caused by her careless bad luck. It was Miss Shi who insisted that Wang Yingxue's three daughters did it, but no matter how they looked for it, they couldn't find evidence, so they had no choice but to stop it.
Naturally, these are later words.
Since that day, after Jiang Mi saved Wang Yingxue and other women, her status in the hearts of the women of the family has been greatly improved, in short, the current Jiang Mi, among the women of the family, the evaluation is polarized, some hate her because of the past, and some respect her because of this incident.
On this day, Wang Yingxue sent an invitation post and invited Jiang Mi to attend an internal banquet for the ladies of the family.
When the invitation was sent, Jiang Mi was drinking tea with Zheng Wen and Fan Yuxiu, and when she heard that it was the invitation sent by the women of the family, Fan Yuxiu turned her head and looked at Jiang Mi worriedly, and asked carefully: "Ah Mi, you will be very uncomfortable with them, right?
Jiang Mi thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't want to think about it, let's talk about it then." ”
In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet has arrived.
After Jiang Mi dressed up a little, he came to Taiyuan Wang's family.
Wang Yingxue is a model among the women of the family, and she is also quite popular with the women of the family, it can be said that she is one of the leaders of the women of the family, and her boudoir is usually the permanent place for the women of the family to gather.
Today's Jiang Mi is dressed very elegantly, almost the same as when she was a girl in Houshu.
When Jiang Mi arrived, there was light laughter and faint music in the garden, and it was obvious that it was almost there.
After getting Jiang Mi's arrival, Wang Yingxue hurriedly apologized to everyone and got up to greet him.
When greeting Jiang Mi, Wang Yingxue bowed cautiously to Jiang Mi.
Her salute was to thank Jiang Mi for her outspokenness.
Jiang Mi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Wang Yingxue glanced at her gratefully, she took Jiang Mi's hand in turn, and while walking towards the garden, she whispered: "Madam, Ying Xue is entrusted by someone, and there is one thing she wants Madame to know. ”
Jiang Mi said, "Please speak." ”
Wang Yingxue said softly: "That's the case, my ninth sister Wang Jun, the family intends to marry some of the heroes in the cold family, so I want to ask my wife not to say it." ”
Jiang Mi understood that the five surnamed women who had married Cui Zixuan as concubines were all carefully cultivated by the family, and they were all virgins, so naturally they couldn't be wasted like this. Their deeds are known to everyone in the family, and they can't be used for marriage with the family, but the people in the poor family don't know it, but it's just right to use it to attract those handsome people from the poor family. It's just that they married Cui Zixuan, so everyone needs not to talk about it.
Jiang Mi was able to accept this little thing, and she replied happily: "Okay." ”
As soon as Jiang Mi's words came out, she received a grateful look from Wang Yingxue. And because of Wang Yingxue's request, Jiang Mi was invisibly relaxed a lot when facing her, and the two of them quickly talked and laughed.
Jiang Mi didn't know that this was exactly what Wang Yingxue was clever. She is quite observant of people's hearts, and she has long been aware that if you want someone to relax her guard against you, not to take the initiative to help that person, but to ask that person to do her a small favor, basically, if the other party agrees, the relationship between the two parties will be closer. This experience can be used in interpersonal communication.
Wang Yingxue took Jiang Mi's hand and entered the garden, and after entering, she patted her hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is Mrs. Jiang, she is my benefactor with Sister Huizhu and Sister Yajing." As soon as Wang Yingxue's voice fell, Li Huizhu and Zheng Yajing stood up and made a big salute to Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi hurriedly returned the salute.
After Wang Yingxue's move, Jiang Mi's status immediately increased, and when Wang Yingxue invited her to take a seat, all the daughters of the family took it for granted.
In Wang Yingxue's respect, Jiang Mi sat on the upper seat, she turned her head to look at Wang Yingxue a little, and couldn't help but think: This Wang Yingxue's actions, like Cui Lang, always make people feel comfortable and happy.
At this time, she already felt that Fan Yuxiu's worries yesterday were completely superfluous.
At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps came from outside the garden, and in the blink of an eye, a coquettish laugh said crisply: "I heard that Sister Ying Xue held a banquet today, and the sisters came uninvited." As soon as he finished speaking, several young women dressed in full costume entered the garden, surrounded by the maidservants.
Compared with the girls present, these young women were obviously deliberately dressed, and when they came in, they looked glamorous and imposing.
As soon as she saw them, Wang Yingxue frowned, she glanced at Jiang Mi very lightly and inconspicuously, and in a blink of an eye, she greeted her with a smile, "A few sisters can come, Yingxue's small courtyard is really full of brilliance." ”
The young woman at the head smiled coquettishly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." My sisters have really dressed up today, and they deserve your brilliant evaluation. Amid the laughter, the young women leaned forward.
Almost as soon as they came to the seat, they noticed Jiang Mi sitting on the main seat, and at that moment, the young woman at the head laughed coquettishly and called exaggeratedly: "Yo, who is this lady?
This can only be answered by Jiang Mi herself.
At that moment, Jiang Mi bowed slightly on the main seat, she glanced at a few young women seriously and calmly, and replied, "I am Jiang." ”
"Yo yo! Listen to this self-introduction! Who is the Jiang family? Whose wife and whose mother must have an explanation, right? Why does this lady seem to know whether everyone knows her or not?" With the young woman's crisp and loud strange laughter, the garden fell silent for a moment.
At this time, he was the most sluggish person, and he also knew that this young woman was coming for Jiang Mi, and the person who came was not good!
Under the staring of the young woman, Jiang Mi finally raised her eyes, and she glanced at the young woman seriously, but her eyelids were dilated and she did not answer.
Other people don't reply, but they are still a little uncomfortable, Jiang Mi has been used to being a superior over the years, she doesn't answer, not only does she seem comfortable, but she also has a kind of momentum that no one in her eyes.
At that moment, the young woman's face flushed.
Seeing that she was about to speak again, Wang Yingxue hurriedly called: "Sister Ting, shall we drink tea?" Speaking of this, she raised her voice and hurriedly called: "Quick, serve tea to your sisters!"
But since this Sister Ting came prepared, how could she pay attention to Wang Yingxue? At that moment, she stroked her hair, and after giving her a bright eye wave around her, Sister Ting said in a coquettish voice: "I heard that some women are obviously from an unbearable background, but they can't do enough to ask their husbands to do this and that. How does she know that this husband is willing to compromise for her, that is a person's life? For example, we are born to be people with good fate, and naturally, we can marry a first-class husband, where is it like some women, who do all the ugly things, but only leave a laughing stock for the world!"
These words are obviously talking about the relationship between Jiang Mi and Cui Zixuan!
This Sister Ting is aggressive, and she simply doesn't save any face for Jiang Mi!
The implication of this is quite excessive!
All of a sudden, the breathing was shallow.
Slowly, Jiang Mi raised her head.
These young women came with the purpose of provoking Jiang Mi, and when she saw Jiang Mi looking up at this moment, Sister Na Ting even smiled brightly, she stared at Jiang Mi aggressively, waiting for her to get angry, and waiting for her to make a fool of herself!
Jiang Mi raised her eyelids and looked at Sister Na Ting seriously for a long time, she finally spoke, only to see her turn to Wang Yingxue and ask, "This lady, her name is Zheng Tingzhi?"
Wang Yingxue replied: "Yes." ”
Without waiting for Wang Yingxue to say anything to explain, Jiang Mi asked quietly: "Then her husband-in-law is called Li Zongzhang?"
"Yes. ”
Jiang Mi understood, she nodded, and said, "I see." After saying these four words, she seemed to have completed her task, but she lowered her head and took a book in her hand and flipped through it.
Zheng Tingzhi saw her indifferent attitude, and became even more angry, and at that moment, she smiled coquettishly: "Yo yo yo, why are you so dumb? Mrs. Ben still thinks that Mrs. Jiang, who has no taboos in the barracks in order to subdue men, will have any high opinions!"
It's getting worse and worse!
Jiang Mi finally raised her head again.
This time, she's expressionless!
Seeing that she was finally provoked, Zheng Tingzhi sneered.
In Zheng Tingzhi's high-spirited and aggressive situation, Jiang Mi slowly put the book aside, she looked up at Zheng Tingzhi, and said slowly: "Zheng Tingzhi, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, can write poetry at the age of three, escaped from the hands of traffickers with wisdom at the age of seven, and married Li Zongzhang, the second son of the Li family in Shaanxi at the age of eighteen. ”
Jiang Mi slowly memorized it like memorizing information, all she said was praise for Zheng Tingzhi, and for a while, the smug look on Zheng Tingzhi's face became stronger and stronger, she interrupted Jiang Mi, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" Tell you, Mrs. Ben is very evil to you, and it is useless for you to please Mrs. Ben!"
Jiang Mi didn't care about her words, she was still reciting the information slowly, and said in a cold and mechanical voice: "Li Zongzhang, twenty years old. Li Zongzhang has a wide range of hobbies, but none of them last. At the age of five, Li Zongzhang raised a wolf as a dog, but at the age of seven, he completely received the wolf and abandoned it in the mountains. At the age of eight, Li Zongzhang was obsessed with raising peonies, and stayed in the flower room for more than 700 nights, calling a pot of two-color peonies carefully cultivated as his "beloved wife". At the age of eleven, Li Zongzhang became obsessed with boiling eagles, and at the age of fourteen, Li Zongzhang gave his love eagle to his friends. At the age of seventeen, Li Zongzhang became obsessed with Zheng Tingzhi, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang......"
Jiang Mi can say this, the faces of all the women changed greatly, Zheng Tingzhi was furious, she jumped up and was about to have a seizure, Jiang Mi waved her hand, and a female guard she brought swooped Zheng Tingzhi's hands and reversed, and the other female guard reached out to cover Zheng Tingzhi's mouth at the same time.
In the panic of the girls of the family, Jiang Mi stood up elegantly, she greeted the women, and said softly: "Don't panic, everyone, I just let her be a little restless." ”
So, in Zheng Tingzhi's angry silent struggle, Jiang Mi continued to say in a cold voice: "Li Zongzhang and Zheng Tingzhi have been married for four years. In the first month of this year, Li Zongzhang met a poor woman who was arrogant and disdainful of being a concubine on the bank of the Bianhe River. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Mi walked in front of Zheng Tingzhi, she looked at her with gentle sympathy, sighed lightly, and persuaded very sincerely: "Mrs. Zheng, you better go back and check on Li Zongzhang...... However, he has always been stubborn, and everything that has been conquered will no longer be cherished, and you must be prepared to reconcile and leave. Speaking of this, Jiang Mi raised his hand and ordered the two guards: "Please bring Mrs. Zheng back to the carriage and escort her home safely!"
"Yes!"
In the awe-inspiring voice of the female guard, Zheng Tingzhi was forcibly sent back to her carriage. Originally, Zheng Tingzhi's guards wanted to step forward to protect the master, but Wang Yingxue sent someone to persuade them in a low voice, and those guards stopped moving when they heard that Mrs. Jiang just asked them to send Zheng Tingzhi home safely.
After Jiang Mi forcibly sent Zheng Tingzhi away, she smiled embarrassedly, turned her head to look at Wang Yingxue, Jiang Mi blessed her, and said: "I'm sorry Sister Yingxue, it's really rare to participate in my sister's banquet, since I don't want to leave yet, I have to ask Mrs. Zheng to go back to deal with family affairs first." After she said these words of apology in a pure, bookish seriousness, Jiang Mi smiled embarrassedly again, returned to the main seat and sat down, innocently looked at the other two young women who came with Zheng Tingzhi, and asked, "Do you two also have advice?"
