7. Seats
The mockery in Lu Zhengxing's tone was too obvious, and Qi Mingzhu's face turned white. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it was quiet in the house, the big maid beside Mrs. Lin came to offer peony, and it was time for dinner.
The group all got up and turned to the hall.
The Lu family has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are many rules, and there is no ambiguity in the meal.
The Lu family does not sit and eat together like ordinary families, but puts a table in front of each person, and sits and eats in a primary and secondary position.
At this time, Lu Zhengxing and Qin Wanxiao's positions as the head of the Lu family and the clan wife showed their due status.
Even Mrs. Lin sat behind a desk slightly to the right of the main seat of the hall, and the two of them sat in the front position.
Lu Zhengtang and Mr. and Mrs. Zhang sat in the lower position next to Mrs. Lin in the second room, while Lu Zhengzhong and Mr. and Mrs. Li sat in the second room next to the second room. Behind the seats in the second and third rooms, there are two and a desk respectively, and there are two sons and one daughter in the second room, the second young master Lu Min and the fifth young master Lu Xian, and the eldest lady Lu Wenke; The sixth young master Lu Yun of the third room, and the second young lady Lu Keying.
On the first left side opposite Mrs. Lin, sat Lu Zhi and Lu Chenxi, the sons of the big house.
It stands to reason that Lu Chenxi is the person who accepts the inheritance of this generation of the Lu family, and his status is extremely important, so he should sit in this position alone. But after all, the Lu family has Qi Mingzhu here, and the mother and children of the second and third rooms don't know this fact yet, so the Dingguo Duke and his wife arranged for her to sit with her brother Lu Zhi and the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, which is not abrupt and natural.
Qi Mingzhu sat at the bottom of them. Below her are the other two sisters-in-law of the big house, the third young master Lu Han and the fourth young master Lu Yu. If Lu Zijin, the sixth young lady born to Qi Mingzhu, and Lu Cheng, the eighth young master, were there, they would be sitting under them.
There are no concubines in the big room, and the children in the second and third bedrooms are arranged in the lower seats.
Qi Mingzhu was of course very dissatisfied with his position, and he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. Seeing Qin Wanxiao and Lu Zhengxing sitting side by side in the center, Qi Mingzhu's hateful lips were about to bite out of blood.
Why!
Why is she also Lu Zhengxing's wife, but she can only sit under the two stinky children!
"Who arranged this seat, it's too unruly!"
Thinking of it in his heart, Qi Mingzhu said it unceremoniously.
Qin Wanxiao looked at Qi Mingzhu. She was disdainful of Qi Mingzhu's identity in her heart. Although Qi Mingzhu is a princess, she is just the daughter of a century-old royal family who has been in power for only three generations. No matter how you say it, she is also the noble eldest princess of the Great Zhou, and she actually fell in love with someone else's husband, and she was willing to be a lowly wife.
said that she was a flat wife, but in the eyes of the real family, Qi Mingzhu was just a concubine. It's just because of the good looks on the face of the Qi royal family, so she is called a flat wife. Presumably, even Emperor Yongjing knew it very well in his heart.
Qin Wanxiao raised her eyebrows, her eyes calm and waveless: "Why are there no rules?" ”
"Hmph," Seeing that it was Qin Wanxiao who spoke, Qi Mingzhu's tone became even more annoyed, "Anyway, I am also the mother of Shizi and Sister Xi, how can I let the two of them sit on top of me!" Aren't you afraid of other people's jokes? ”
Hearing the word mother in Qi Mingzhu's mouth, Lu Chenxi and Lu Zhi's eyes darkened.
Qin Wanxiao glanced at Qi Mingzhu amusedly, as if she was talking about some kind of joke, and didn't answer her at all.
Even the Zhang family in the second room and the Li family in the third room glanced at Qi Mingzhu in surprise.
Seeing their reactions, Qi Mingzhu became more and more annoyed, "What, what I said is wrong?" ”
"Oh, my eldest princess, don't say what you say, otherwise, it will really become a joke." Zhang's cool voice rang out. To say that in this mansion, the Zhang family is jealous of Qin Wanxiao, the Duchess of Dingguo, jealous of her status as the daughter of the Qin family, and jealous that she can be the Duchess of Dingguo; That aligns with Mingzhu, then it is really a clear disgust.
In her heart, Qi Mingzhu is a shameless woman who shamelessly robs other people's husbands!
Obviously, the emperor has already issued an order, and Qi Mingzhu is nothing in the Dingguo Mansion. It's just that she herself still doesn't seem to know, she looks like an eldest princess every day, looks down on the Zhang family and the Li family inside and outside the words, and still considers herself their sister-in-law.
She deserves it! Zhang thought hatefully.
Zhang opened his mouth, and Mrs. Lin, who was about to speak, did not speak, and like the husband and wife of Dingguo, she picked up the white porcelain tea cup on the long table and tasted it slowly.
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Mingzhu stared at Zhang fixedly, and his eyes were eager to burst into flames.
Zhang lazily lifted his eyelids, took the silk handkerchief in his hand and brushed it: "What do you mean?" Eldest princess, you don't know, right? In a real family, there will always be only one wife, who is also the wife of the family. Zhi'er and Zhao'er, one is the son of the house, and the other is the eldest daughter of their big house, how can you be called their mother? Zhang took a sip from the teacup, "They are the children of serious wives." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Mingzhu's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and his face turned blue and white, white and blue. She knew that few people in this mansion really liked her, but what she didn't expect was that it was not the same thing that they dared to really treat themselves like this!
She is the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Qi Mingzhu glanced at Qin Wanxiao resentfully, it was all her! If it weren't for her, she would be Lu Zhengxing's wife, and she would be the mistress of this family! How could he be ridiculed and despised by the Zhang family. Wait, Qin Wanxiao, I will definitely make you look good!
Qi Mingzhu's resentful eyes were seen in everyone's eyes.
Lu Zhi and Lu Chenxi's eyes were cold.
Dingguo Gong and Mrs. Lin frowned, and Qi Mingzhu's vigilance deepened a little.
Qin Wanxiao didn't look at it at all. Qi Mingzhu resented herself, what could she do, even if she was the eldest princess of Da Zhou, she was not looked at by Qin Wanxiao. This is her pride as a noble daughter of the family, and it is also her confidence as the only concubine of the Qin family!
Seeing Qi Mingzhu deflated, Zhang's was only happy.
Although at first, when she first got married, she was also dissatisfied with such a seat. But after seeing Mrs. Lin sitting willingly under Lu Zhengxing and Qin Wanxiao, and after Mrs. Lin's aunt's patient training and understanding some of the rules of the real family, the Zhang family's dissatisfaction gradually faded.
She likes to pinch the tip to be strong, and she also likes to occasionally find a big couple uncomfortable. But that's all in the bottom line and the like, satisfying your vanity. If you really want her to do anything, Zhang doesn't dare.
Even the Zhang clan is like this, let alone the Li clan.
Although Li is the mother of the Lu family's third room, she was born in an ordinary scholarly family. There are no big officials in the family who can handle it. It's just that the family has been a scholarly heirloom from generation to generation, and the family is full of scholars, and there are many people and jinshi, which can be regarded as noble.
The family background has led to Li's peaceful and introverted temperament, not fighting or grabbing, and sticking to his heart. At the beginning, Mrs. Lin fell in love with Li's good temperament, so she hired her son as her daughter-in-law.
