Chapter 265: Zhang Wan'er's New Changes
"It's all your fault, looking for that Su Ling'er, but it made my father Wang Chun's heart moved, but I found that Yin Susu!" The wife of King Qi's eldest son, Wang, complained about his husband. "I've dealt with her a few times, and it's not an easy person."
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of spring heart moves." King Qi's eldest son spat and said, "Could it be that my father's heart was moved the night before, and he can find me a mother the next day?" It's not so simple for a small civilian family to marry! What does this matter to me? Moreover, it may not be this reason, even if Yin Su's beauty is amazing, and the relationship with her father has always been close, it may not be this kind of relationship, I think my father has always treated her like a daughter, and there is no evil heart. ”
"That being said, it's still weird." His wife thought for a while and said, "My father has always been dignified and respectful, and he has never done such a strange and cheating thing, which makes people really incomprehensible." ”
"No matter how much, if we can't figure it out, everyone else will figure it out?" King Qi's eldest son, Yuwenhe, thought about it, "Unless a sister-in-law suddenly appears, after all, I am the chief at the moment, with a grandson and no grandson, I always take advantage of the other brothers." ”
Although he is currently the second in the eldest position, in fact, he does not take advantage of the second son, Yu Wenping, the second son of King Qi, is the son of King Qi's original princess, only three months younger than him. Therefore, since he was a child, he was far less favored than his son-in-law, and his eldest son did not receive the attention he should have. However, in the great turmoil twenty years ago, the six-year-old concubine of King Qi died with the princess, and he, the concubine of the daughter of the palace guard, was fortunate to escape because of his low status. Even his mother didn't hurt.
Thinking of what happened twenty years ago, Yuwenhe's mood improved again, how noble they were. In the end, the winner is the one who lives to the end. He smiled and beckoned his wife Wang to change her clothes to entertain the guests, there was no formal hostess in the palace, so it was usually the eldest son and daughter-in-law who served the female guests, and they were a little late in discussing things.
You must know that his father, King Qi, can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Great Zhou in terms of power and status. It is rare that it is also particularly favored and trusted, and you can imagine how lively the Qi Wangfu is today.
Needless to say, the princess's mansion is from the palace below. As long as the prince and uncle are almost the people with the title, they all sent birthday gifts. There are countless guests who come in person, and ordinary officials of the fourth and fifth grades do not even have the opportunity to step into the door unless they are from a big family. That's it, to say the least, hundreds of guests came. The reception was very troublesome.
Wang had just finished receiving Liu Bo, the prince of Pingguo, and his wife. As soon as he sat down to catch his breath, someone from there came to report that Lu Pingzhi, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and his wife Zhang had arrived. Yuwenhe's wife Wang frowned when she heard this, and said, "I really don't want to receive that Zhang Wan'er, such a fox spirit is really disgusting." However, a few days ago, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenyuan added a concubine? ”
"It's such a thing." The big girl beside her smiled, "Because the fourth master's wife belongs to the Lu family, we also sent a gift in our house for the third ceremony." ”
"Tsk. Didn't this Zhang Wan'er clear Lu Pingzhi's concubines before marriage, but she still had to raise a concubine. Wang smiled a little gloating. Just rush to a little, and I want to entertain her with kind words today. And she is a relative of the fourth family, so we can't fall into the status of relatives. ”
The corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and her smile was very standard and dignified, but the maid next to her knew very well that her master was thinking about how to embarrass that Zhang Wan'er at this moment.
It's not that the Wang family likes to find trouble, one is that she instinctively dislikes such a fox spirit as the eldest wife, and the fourth wife in the Hou Mansion is the woman of the Lu family, and she is Lu Pingzhi's cousin, Zhang Wan'er and the Lu family behind her are impossible to help themselves, and they have long stood on the opposite side.
Of course, although the Wang family wants to make Zhang Wan'er ugly, it is not too measured, but it must be mastered, today is the birthday of King Qi, and it is not good-looking if it is big, if King Qi is angry, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Wang sorted out his appearance in the mirror, and walked out of the hall with dignified and elegant steps to receive Zhang Wan'er. However, what surprised her was that Zhang Wan'er was not as glamorous as she usually dressed, and she was dressed up very outstandingly, but she was wearing a royal blue rolling green silk skirt, and her makeup was also mature and stable, not as delicate as before.
"Mrs. Zhang hasn't seen you for a long time." Wang smiled very kindly, "I heard that you were sick before, and I don't know if it's true or not?" If you are young, you have to take good care of it. ”
"Sister Xie thought about it." Different from Wang's guess, Zhang Wan'er didn't have any annoyance on her face this time, just a bland voice.
Wang didn't expect her to be so steady this time, hesitated for a moment, and decided to add two fires according to the plan, so he smiled again, "I heard that a few days ago, you added a new young master to your house?" And a big full moon ceremony? ”
Zhang Wan'er's face changed slightly, but she quickly adjusted again, nodded and said, "Yes, thank you Madame for thinking." ”
Hearing this, Wang put down the teacup and smiled brightly, "The sister of the Zhang family is really a virtuous and virtuous person, I used to tell people that you are actually very generous, and others still don't believe it, and now those people are sure to change their minds about the sister." I added a concubine within a year of getting married, and I didn't want to make trouble if I wanted to put it on other women, but I didn't expect my sister to have a big belly, so she didn't say a word and accepted it. ”
Hearing this Wang insinuation, how could Zhang Wan'er not be annoyed, but she knew that this Wang was actually extremely disgusted with herself, and she had embarrassed herself by others before, how could she really care about herself, just gloating and watching her own jokes.
If she wanted to put it on hold, she would definitely explode when Wang said this, but although her face changed today, she didn't get angry and turned her face, and forced herself to press down. Seeing her like this, Wang's heart was surprised, but he didn't tease anymore, he teased a lot, Zhang Wan'er made a fuss, Zhang Wan'er didn't like it, and she didn't have it.
It is not far from the gate of the courtyard to the door of the main house, which said a few words, has arrived under the eaves, there has already been a girl ring to open the bamboo curtain, please two people into the door, there are already several ladies and ladies sitting in the door, are gossiping. Naturally, the Wang family didn't say much. smiled and invited Zhang Wan'er to sit down, and asked Yahuan to serve tea.
Although there are also a few ladies who look at Zhang Wan'er unpleasantly, they can't help but gloat. But Zhang Wan'er endured it without exception. Coupled with the daughter-in-law of the fourth son of King Qi, Lu, the concubine of the Wang family was sitting inside, helping to make a round, for the sake of the face of the main family, the ladies did not say anything more, and changed the topic.
Wang looked at this scene and secretly wondered in his heart. What kind of medicine did this Zhang Wan'er take, did she really change her temper? She had seen Zhang Wan'er lose her temper at the ladies' party, and that temper was not ordinary. And the impulse is irrational, and it is very easy to be provoked. Although everyone is here to participate in King Qi's birthday banquet today, it will not be too much for the sake of the lord's family, but this Zhang Wan'er has also eaten dozens of mean words before and after. I didn't get angry.
Curious though. This kind of thing has nothing to do with her after all, and just as she was about to ask someone to inquire, a little girl came to her and whispered to her, "Grandma, the prince is back!" ”
"The prince is back? Seriously? Wang stood outside the house, glanced at the few concubines who were talking in the room, lowered his voice, and said, "What's the situation?" Did you bring anyone back? ”
In fact, Wang wanted to ask if he had brought Yin Su, but he was afraid that it would be too direct. Although she also felt that King Qi was very bullshitty about Yin Susu. But there was no other reason for King Qi to run to Yin Susu's Lan Yuan outside the city early in the morning on his birthday.
"Uncle asked me to tell my grandmother, and the prince seemed to be very happy. In addition to bringing the county lord of Zhaoya, he also brought a lot of people, including a pair of extremely beautiful young men and women, the beautiful woman uncle said that it seemed to be Lin Ruoyu, the cousin of Mrs. Lin of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who was Lu Pingzhi's cousin. Although the girl's voice was soft, she spoke quickly, and what was even more rare was that she spoke very clearly.
Wang Shi was a little puzzled when he heard this, this Yin Susu was not unusual, she would have come back, so Lin Ruoyu had seen it herself, what did she come to do? It's not like my father is looking at that little girl. She thought about it for a moment, and soon laughed at herself for thinking too much.
Yes, it must have been brought over by Yin Susu, I heard that the two walked very close after leaving the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, and Yin Susu also recognized the girl as a righteous sister. Wang thought of the woman with a peerless appearance and a cold demeanor, but she was actually a little nervous, she had suffered a small loss in the hands of Yin Susu back then.
"Did Uncle say anything else?" Wang found that he was thinking a little far, and quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"Uncle didn't say anything, but the third master, the fourth master, and the sixth master all seemed to have been called over by the prince to say something." The girl said, "Uncle only had time to tell me and tell me to tell Grandma." ”
Wang nodded, "I know the way, you can go back." ”
Before the little girl walked out of the courtyard gate, the fourth daughter-in-law, Lu, walked out and said with a smile, "What does this girl say to her sister-in-law, so mysterious?" ”
Wang smiled, "What's the matter, it's just that your eldest brother asked me to take samples." ”
Looking at Wang's kind smiling face, Lu Shi knew that she didn't plan to say a sneer, and said, "Big brother really asked you to take things." ”
"Isn't it just to pick up things, I'll go to the back, and his aunt will help me take care of the guests," said Zhang, and Shi Shiran walked out.
Lu looked at her back and pouted, turned around and entered the house.
"Hey, where's my sister-in-law?"
In fact, as soon as the eldest sister-in-law Wang left, the Lu family also wished, so that she could take the opportunity to talk to Zhang Wan'er about some private matters, and after looking around, she didn't see Zhang Wan'er, so she called Yiyahuan who was waiting next to her and asked.
"Mrs. Zhang said that she wanted to make it easier, so she went to the back." The girl hesitated for a moment and whispered in her ear, "Just now the eldest grandmother went out, you went out again, and the ladies didn't speak very well, and Mrs. Zhang's face was not very good-looking." ”
At this time, Zhang Wan'er was tidying up her appearance in front of a mirror, and the anger on her face had not disappeared, but a serious-looking middle-aged woman behind her smiled.
"Miss, you endure well today, if you make trouble, you will take advantage of those people's wishes. You must know that Lu Dao is the birthday of King Qi today, and it is an unusual gathering. ”
"Mother Hu, I know the Dao, but this forbearance is really difficult to cultivate." Zhang Wan'er took a deep breath and spit it out again, "I really want to smash that plate of grapes in Na Lu's face, she is just a marquise like me, and she dares to ridicule me like this!" ”
"Miss!" The middle-aged woman, Mother Hu, showed a disapproving look on her face.
"I'm just talking. Can't you get angry, can't you be happy? Zhang Wan'er pursed her lips and said.
"The eldest lady is still too angry in her heart, and your previous life was quite smooth." Mother Hu also knew that Zhang Wan'er could not become a good character all of a sudden, so she didn't say much, just sighed, "Besides, after all, this is the Qi Palace, not a home, the wall has ears, so you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
"Well, I'll think about it next time." Zhang Wan'er's temper was very convinced by Mother Hu, and nodded, "Okay, I've adjusted my mentality, and I'm sure I won't lose my temper." You're right, I used to have a good time to develop this temper. ”
She has a bad temper, Zhang Wan'er also understands it in her heart, but her temper is not only that she was too smooth before, she died too miserably and desolate in her previous life, and her resentment is too heavy, which also has a partly impact.
Zhang Wan'er sorted out her mood and discussed a few things with the Lu family, with the help of the Lu family, she stayed up smoothly until the time of the banquet, and then she met people she didn't expect in a place she didn't expect. (To be continued......)
