Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Tiger Is Not Powerful, Is the World a Sick Cat?
"Ladies, what do you think of this white hosta on my head?" Mrs. Lan was angry in her heart, but her face became more and more smiling, and she interrupted Mrs. Xing's words with her mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the topic she asked was still so weird, and it was simply incompatible with Mrs. Xing's words.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the military generals led by Mrs. Shouwei saw that Mrs. Lan, who had been sitting firmly, began to deal with it, and their eyes were all glowing.
Although they don't understand what this question means by this distant visitor from the capital, the daughter of the Hou Mansion and the wife of the former Zuo Xiang, as long as there is a little hope, they are also very happy to see the civil official group headed by Mrs. Xing being suppressed.
Look at the excitement and take the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, which is what this wave of people is talking about.
Even Grandma Hu looked nervous, you know, they came together, and Grandma Hu still knows the truth that one is prosperous and the other is lost.
It's really a bag of sweat in his hand, and with a thousand forces in his heart, he secretly prays that Mrs. Lan will make strange moves and win in this battle of words and swords, so as to save some face for her side!
Only Lan Jiayin and Hu Qinghui's sisters and sons had a sneer on their lips, these two people both knew what strong hole cards Mrs. Lan had, this one didn't say anything, once she couldn't help but launch a threat, none of the more than forty ladies and young ladies in this hall could withstand it.
Now that you know that the result will inevitably end in the victory of Mrs. Lan, what are you in a hurry?
Take a good look at the ugly faces of these so-called noble ladies, how they turn around, it is serious.
These days, no matter where they go to the banquet, the mother and daughter of the Lan family have been treated lukewarmly, compared with the popularity of Grandma Hu's aunt and sister-in-law, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
However, people are serious about the post, how can Mrs. Lan refuse?
You must know that Lan Mingdong is in the limelight in the capital this time, he reported King Yan for rebellion, and then he was bitten back by King Yan, who was convicted.
were all sent to the prison of Dali Temple, but they still came out in a hurry, in addition to copying the family and killing the old lady, and the death of his brother in prison for unknown reasons, he himself did not even break a piece of oily skin, and in the end, the saint was personally sentenced, and it was just a demotion and release.
Don't look at the Pingjing Mansion Yin who is just the third product, there are only four in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, one each in Beijing, Pingjing, Nanyi, and Bei'an.
The governors of these four places have much greater authority than the taishou of the same level, not only have the privilege of playing directly to the heavens, but also supervise the local military affairs, that is, in case of a situation, the local soldiers must obey the dispatch of the governor.
I don't know how many people who are looking forward to Lan Mingdong's bad luck secretly scolding the Sacred Heart for being unfair.
I don't know how many people who want to show their ambitions, secretly blushing on someone's good luck.
There are still many people, who don't scold or blush, just wait quietly, waiting to catch Lan Mingdong's tail, these three grades of Fu Yin, but they are always more aggressive than the left phase of the first grade, right?
In such a high-profile situation, how could Mrs. Lan not care about it?
In the future, his master will still be an official in the West for many years, and he can't let Lan Mingdong lose a bad reputation because he is unwilling to be wronged.
For the sake of Lan Mingdong's future and the reputation of the Lan family, these coldness and alienation, Mrs. Lan endured them all one by one, even if she vomited blood tonight, the next day, she still cleaned up and continued to go to the banquet.
Unexpectedly, he took a step back in the attitude that more things are better than less things, but instead made these villains who climbed high and stepped on low feel that they were weak and deceitful, and they became more and more intense.
Mrs. Lan secretly snorted coldly in her heart, "Okay, as you wish, let's fight and see who has the best skills!" ”
After a long time, someone came back from his stunned stupor and muttered softly in an uncertain tone, "The carving is okay, this flower is vivid, but the material is not the best, and the water head is a little worse." ”
There is such a person who seems to know how to get started, and more and more people echo it, and he makes some judgments, without hiding his attitude of attacking Mrs. Lan and praising Mrs. Xing's stinky feet.
There are also some people who are stupid, they can't see that the hall is already full of sparks, they don't know whether they are dead or alive, and they only see a little bit of small profit in front of them.
This kind of person didn't even bother to say a word of truth, and was stunned to reduce the white hosta in middle quality to a rotten thing on the street, at most ordinary jewelry worth ten dollars.
Mrs. Lan couldn't help laughing, raised her slender jade hand high, and asked, "Ladies are really quick to talk and say well, so how about you please take a look at my jade ring?" ”
Mrs. who has a brain alive, Miss saw this, she had already noticed that something was strange, and she was very shrewd and kept silent, neither said good, nor bad, and secretly reminded her family that friends must be cautious.
And like Zhang Tongsheng's wife, General Liu's wife, she was going to be against Mrs. Xing, and they praised it again and again, just now Mrs. Xing's side of the people, how bad the white hosta was, they would praise how good the jade ring was.
Anyway, as long as these civil officials and ladies who are good at talking and playing tricks, the more ugly the look on their faces, the happier they will be.
At this time, Mrs. Xing also noticed that there was something wrong, she was also the daughter of the Nanyi clan, and she had heard from the elders of the family in some upper circles.
For example, her grandmother, who was widowed at the age of thirty-six, never remarried in her life, took care of her children, honored her in-laws, and treated her uncle and sister-in-law well.
With her maintenance, the Xing family has not declined, but has been annexed by other big families, but has become more and more prosperous.
Such an outstanding performance, attracted the attention of the imperial court, and was praised by the holy decree, not to mention that the queen mother also rewarded a pair of jade bracelets, not to mention the color, but the value contained in it is immeasurable, and it is the treasure of the Xing family.
Mrs. Xing couldn't help but secretly guess, "Could it be that these two inconspicuous-looking jade artifacts have a big origin?" But soon, she denied this speculation herself, "My grandmother is already 100 years old, how old is Dr. Lan in front of me?" ”
"She doesn't have any filial piety that touches the world, and she hasn't done anything good for the country and the people, so it shouldn't be possible to have the opportunity to get such a great dignity, right?"
Rao didn't want to believe it in his heart, but Mrs. Xing's words turned extremely smoothly, "Mrs. Lan's ring is much better than the white hosta." ”
As soon as these words came out, the wind direction in the entire hall changed again, and just now the white hosta was stepped into the mud, which would hold the jade ring to the sky again.
What is life, what is the grass on the wall, downwind, Lan Jiayin saw it with her own eyes again, couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle, and sighed secretly, "This is really life like a play, look at it, the high * tide is coming." ”
Seeing Mrs. Lan smiling on her face, she slowly stretched out her hand to stop everyone's discussion, she glanced around at all the ladies, until the hall was silent, she stood up, faced the capital and arched her hand, and said respectfully: "The white hosta on my head was given by the queen mother of the dynasty, and the jade ring on her hand was given by the queen mother of today." ”
After saying that, he swept everyone with a majestic expression, and said very simply, "Please bow down to all ladies!" ”
Mo Hua immediately raised his head and stepped forward, and said loudly: "Bow your head, bow to ......"
"Two prostrations, bow to ......"
"Three Prostrations ......"
The Queen Mother, the things given by the Queen Mother, who dares not to worship?
So, in the crisp voice of the ink painting, most of the ladies and young ladies in the hall bowed to Mrs. Lan, their movements were neat and uniform, and their expressions were extremely respectful.
Only seven or eight truly knowledgeable ladies kowtow in the direction of the capital.
Sure enough, after the ladies got up, Mrs. Lan covered her face with a handkerchief and smiled, and said softly: "Oh, this is to let all the ladies and young ladies bow to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, how can there still be people bowing to me, I really dare not be, I dare not be." ”
In a word, countless people turned gray and ruined.
But this is just the beginning, Mrs. Lan smiled, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said secretly: "A little son of Taishou, dare to think about my family?" ”
"What a big bold!"
"I don't let you know how powerful I am today, and you don't want to be because Lord Ma is three-eyed!"
"I heard someone say just now that the white hosta given by the Queen Mother is not a good product, and it can be bought casually for ten dollars at the roadside stall, right?" She put away her smile, word by word, and asked very seriously.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in the hall, and the ladies who had just said saliva were splashing around, and one or two felt cold all around.
I saw Mrs. Shouwei Ma smile lightly and said softly, "Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Lu, what you two just said is the most powerful, why are you silent?" ”
Since ancient times, civil and military opponents have been opposed, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Ma, each of whom is the head of Mrs. Wenwu, and naturally has their own supporters.
Not to mention that Mrs. Xing had someone to help her just now, and they squeezed Mrs. Lan together, this will, seeing that the wind direction is obviously on Mrs. Lan's side, can Mrs. Ma not take the opportunity to hit the opponent?
At the moment, the wives of several military generals stood up to testify, and the main targets were still focused on Chen, Lu, the two of them, who were the most powerful just now, and the others were all small shrimps, after all, they all lived in the same city, who was not involved with whom?
It can't be too desperate, and it is enough to launch two scapegoats to vent Mrs. Lan's anger.
This unanimous revelation scene frightened Chen and Lu's souls, and the two noble ladies couldn't care about anything, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
One will beg Mrs. Lan for mercy, and the other will beg Mrs. Xing to help intercede, just now he was biting people with his fangs, a high-minded style, this will describe the embarrassment to the extreme, kowtowing is like pounding garlic, the contrast between before and after is so strong, it is really happy.
Mrs. Lan only felt a buzz in her ears, and these two people seemed to be crazy, and they begged for mercy together, but they couldn't hear anything clearly.
Immediately waved her hand, and saw that the crying of the two of them was lowered, and she asked in a deep voice: "Excuse me, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Lu's husband, how many official residences are there?" Any important position in Ohara Castle? ”
Mrs. Chen was frightened, except for crying and begging, she didn't know anything, Mrs. Lu was better than her, sobbing and choking, and said very ashamedly: "My husband is a six-grade Taishou general judgment, and Mrs. Zhang's husband is a five-grade Tongzhi." ”
Yo he, they are all too guarded subordinates, no wonder Mrs. Xing is the first to look forward.
"Hmph, hmph." After hearing this, Mrs. Lan couldn't help but sneer, "You two have a five-grade order and a six-grade forgiveness, and you dare to speak disrespectfully to my dignified Mrs. Lan, it's really bold!" ”
"If you are so unrequited, virtuous, and unscrupulous, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to your family?"
When the ladies sitting heard this, they all looked at Mrs. Lan in shock, and there was a cold air behind them.
It turned out that although Lan Mingdong was demoted from a first-rank official to a third-rank official, Mrs. Lan was not affected at all, and the saint did not issue an order to lower her order, so she was still a justifiable Mrs. of the first grade.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the most important thing to pay attention to a dignity and inferiority, and it is a great felony to commit this crime!
When she boarded, Mrs. Chen forgot to even cry, and muttered: "I don't know, the concubine is a ghost who is confused, so she speaks a lie, but this matter has nothing to do with the family, the concubine is willing to be punished, and Mrs. Lan only punishes me alone, so as not to harm the whole family." ”
And Mrs. Lu, who still had questions and answers, was completely stupid, stunned for a while, and then collapsed softly, lying on the ground with her temples scattered, looking bleak.
Seeing that the two cronies had become like this, Mrs. Xing's hearts were pinched together, she pressed her heart fiercely, got up and saluted Mrs. Lan respectfully, and said in a trembling voice: "Both of them are friends of the concubine, and it is also the concubine's neglect of persuasion in the past that makes the two of them more and more serious." ”
"Today, the concubine invited the lady to the banquet, and the reason is also here with the concubine, so Mrs. Lan will please punish the concubine, and please spare the two sisters."
When she opened her mouth to plead, it was tantamount to giving in to the public, but Mrs. Lan looked down at her, "It's still a friendship, if you turn a blind eye and let these two people be disposed of by me, and you don't even want to say a word, how can I spare you today?" ”
"In the end, we are still away from home, if we can do less, we will have less things......" Mrs. Lan sighed softly in her heart.
Then he smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "If Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Lu are just disrespectful to me, it will be fine, but after all, they are disrespectful to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, if I don't punish them at this moment, after returning to Beijing, I will not be able to explain to the two mothers." ”
"I will punish the two of you for 20 palms, vegetarian for 100 days, copy the female commandments, and train 100 times each internally, can you two take it?"
When both of them arrived at this meeting, the three souls were gone, trembling, and in a panic, where would they dare to have any objections?
I just looked forward to ending it quickly, so I kowtowed at the same time, saying, "The concubine is taught, and Mrs. Xie Lan is punished." ”
Seeing that the attitude of these two people admitting their mistakes was acceptable, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing did not bite indiscriminately, making the scene too ugly, Mrs. Lan was extra gracious and asked them to go to the wing room to receive the punishment.
At this point, the two men never appeared again.
