Mrs. Man was already very dissatisfied with the Xie family's rejection of her son's marriage, and when she saw Jinyi surrounded by everyone, she couldn't help but think of the mistake of admitting the lines of her clothes here last year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Turning her head, she saw Mrs. Rong of the Luo Hai family standing far away in front of a double-petaled white orb, and there were two people with her, one of whom was slender and straight, but with a smile on her face with a hint of sycophancy, was Qin Zhiwu's wife.

The other was wearing a pale pink wishful shirt, looking a little at a loss, and from time to time raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and was whispering something to Mrs. Rong.

Mrs. Man walked over, Mrs. Rong saw her, a smile appeared on her face, and after saying hello, she introduced the two people around her to her, "This one you also know, it is the wife of Lord Qin's family." ”

Mrs. Man's father, He Hongyu, used to be the governor of Liangzhou, and Lin's father, Lin Zheliang, the former assassin of Liangzhou, were colleagues, and the two of them met since they urinated.

It's just that Lin Zheliang threw stones in front of the emperor to ask for directions before he became a leader, and introduced He Hongyu as the new assassin, He Hongyu is now prosperous in official fortune, but Lin Zheliang has been his stepping stone and plummeted.

When Lin saw Mrs. Man, he looked a little embarrassed, his father was almost convicted by the emperor because of her father, if he said that he had no complaints and no regrets, no one would believe it. But now Qin Zhiwu is attached to Luo Hai, and Zhen Guogong is the top boss of his lord's boss, and his identity is very different from her, how can he talk about childhood friendship at this time.

Although he was not convinced, he could only force a smile and salute, "Mrs. Man is fine." ”

Mrs. Man's pretty face was slightly raised, her eyes looked down at her along the bridge of her nose, and she said with a smile, "How is Ling Zun living in Luoyang?" ”

Lin Shi's chest was blocked, and he was almost speechless, and he reluctantly said after a while: "Fortunately, the emperor's father is old and has not been punished, and he can finally return to old age." ”

Mrs. Man snorted lightly: "That's thanks to our grandfather's kind words for Ling Zun in front of the emperor." ”

Lin bit his lower lip tightly and swallowed his anger back into his stomach, if it wasn't for the instructions of the Duke of Zhenguo, how could his father risk a big disapproval to recommend to the emperor, and clearly cross the river and tear down the bridge, would he still want to kill them all? said bitterly, "My father is very grateful for the kindness of Duke Huan. ”

Mrs. Man stopped talking, and looked at the woman in the pink dress.

In the gatherings of the ladies of the family, it is very rare to see people wearing clothes of this color, because pink is used by the concubines, and those who can come out to participate in the banquet are naturally the wives of the family.

Mrs. Man had already guessed who the person in front of her was, and sure enough, she heard Mrs. Rong say: "This is Mrs. Ru of the Xu Shilang family of the Ministry of Officials, the small character Qianniang." ”

Mrs. Rong personally went to the house of Xu Shilang two days ago, and had a private conversation with Qianniang, and then discussed with Mrs. Xu, and asked her to take Qianniang to participate in the preparatory meeting on the eighth day of the new year. Mrs. Xu didn't want to take an aunt out to the banquet, and she didn't want to offend Mrs. Rong, so she simply didn't come, and only let Qianniang follow Mrs. Rong.

The two black-lacquered doors of the Blessing Hall slowly unfolded, and Mama Yu, the housekeeper of Yishan Hall, walked out slowly from the inside, and more than a dozen red-clothed maids followed her lined up to welcome the ladies inside.

Mama Yu greeted Jinyi and Yunhui with a smile, greeted the two of them, and respectfully introduced herself into the hall and sat down in front of the table on the right.

In the past, this chief was the exclusive property of the Zhenguo Mansion, but now it is undoubtedly sitting in the Chuchen Palace, and after Mrs. Man walked in, her smile looked a little far-fetched.

According to the practice of the preparatory meeting, the rules of the seating during the banquet are very exquisite, in the past, the Chuchen Mansion did not participate, and the Zhongyi Mansion was humble, so he sat the chief.

In the eyes of Mrs. Man, no matter how noble King Chuchen's status is, he is just an idle prince, so he will give up this seat to his family, and the ladies of various families still have to act according to their own faces.

It's just that as soon as she came today, Princess Chuchen stole the limelight, and at this moment, Yishantang was so favoritism, Mrs. Man glanced at Jinyi lightly, and said to Mama Yu: "Now that Prince Chuchen is half of the owner of Yishantang, how can you let the princess deign to sit with us?" It would be appropriate to have another seat on it. ”

Mama Yu smiled like a flower blooming on her face, and curtsied to Mrs. Man, "Forgive Mrs. Yu's old eyes, she didn't see Mrs. Man coming, she really should be beaten." ”

As he spoke, he greeted her impartially in front of the second case on the right, and said with a smile: "Madame said that I laughed, our hall has always been to run errands for the nobles in various mansions, so how can I climb the face of the prince." It was the prince who saw that my legs and feet were quite neat, so he gave the saint and opened the business of the Western Regions for the prince, but it was just an errand to pass on a word. If it weren't for the strong help of Mrs. Fu's house over the years, my wife and I would have been a beggar at best. ”

Mrs. Man took her by the hand and smiled coquettishly to the people around her: "Listen, Yishantang's business has been all over Huajing all these years, and now you are coming to us to cry poor,......" She covered her lips and chuckled, "Mama Yu takes so much silver from us every year, such a profitless transaction, it is really a good calculation, and it is strange that everyone has rushed to ask the people in your hall to be in charge." ”

Mama Yu's expression was still unusually deferential, her smile was undiminished, and she turned to say aloud to everyone: "The details of the donations donated by the nobles every year are announced, these are the blessings of the nobles, and we will never dare to do such corrupt and fraudulent things." The opening of rice and silk villages in various places is also to facilitate the circulation of money, and they will never dare to seek any personal interests from this. ”

She arched her hand to the surroundings and said with a smile: "We can have the blessings of all of you here today, so this time we have sought some benefits for the nobles,...... These business things are very boring, let me report in detail later. ”

At that time, Confucianism was in decline in Huajing, and although the people of the family were still self-respecting and noble, they were unwilling to get involved in business and profit, but if they wanted to maintain a luxurious and luxurious life, they must also need sufficient money.

It is precisely because of this that the private property of the woman after marriage is particularly important, and the idea of the monthly silver in the public is really a drop in the bucket, and the jewelry and clothing required to decorate the façade are maintained by the profits of the private property, which is really a large amount.

As soon as Mama Yu's words came out, except for the daughters who were still in the boudoir who were indifferent, the rest of the ladies were a little moved, but they were embarrassed to ask in a hurry, for fear that they would be ridiculed if they were too obvious. (To be continued.) )
