Chapter 198: Apology
Qingguo Gong is more than eighty years old, he has lived a lifetime, and his ability to recognize people is not strong, among the many princes of the dynasty, what he values most is not the sixth prince, not the eighth prince, not the fifth prince, but the third prince who is over thirty years old and has two sons-in-law under his knees! Therefore, the emperor's decree to let the eighth prince marry the seventh lady of the Yanguo Mansion is, in his opinion, neither a "gain" nor a "loss". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Wen Mengfan, who has lived in the backyard for a long time and is deeply affected by the living environment, does not have such a thoughtful thinking, and only thinks that the Eighth Prince is not only extremely noble in status, but also the same age as himself, and he is also a chic person, and he is really a good candidate for wishful thinking! Therefore, he couldn't get his wish, and the one he hated the most in his heart was Xia Xue'er.
The eighth prince asked for a marriage, and the sixth prince made a kick from it, even if Qingguo Gong guessed that there was Xia Xue'er's instigation behind this, he would not say that he was the enemy of An Guohou, after all, at present and in the future, making friends with An Guohou will only be more beneficial than disadvantageous.
It's his granddaughter, who clashed with Anguo's concubine many times in the hunting ground this time, not only made a lot of noise, but was also bumped into by several princes and argued, at such a critical time, such behavior is really a loss of face in his dignified state, such a granddaughter should indeed be disciplined and disciplined!
On November 18, just two days after Yu Yingxi's birthday, the wife of the prince of Qingguo Mansion and Wen Mengfan's mother, Qi Yan, specially brought gifts to apologize.
Xia Xue'er was taking Zihan out of Yalan Xuan and was about to say goodbye to the old lady, but less than 100 meters outside the Livable Pavilion, she saw two strange figures who had just stepped into the courtyard gate of the Livable Pavilion.
"The old lady has a guest today?" Xia Xue'er watched the figure being welcomed into the livable pavilion by her grandmother, and then asked the maid who followed her.
Xianglan also saw the figure, and remembered that on the way to deliver snacks to the fourth lady earlier, she heard the maids talk about the entry of Mrs. Qingguo and Miss Wen Si, so she replied: "Miss Hui, it should be the wife of the prince of Qingguo's mansion." ”
A cold light flashed in Xia Xue'er's eyes, and then the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she said with a slight smile but a cold tone: "Since the person who came is Mrs. Shizi, how can I be missing?" ”
With that, he took a step forward and continued to walk towards the Livable Pavilion.
Wen Mengfan and her mother just entered the courtyard gate of the Livable Pavilion when they met Mrs. Xia, who came out to greet the two after hearing the news, and walked towards the main hall after a few simple greetings.
The old lady smiled like a flower, looked at the first person sitting in the hall and said: "The arrival of Mrs. Shizi really makes my small courtyard shine, and the preparation is hasty, and if there is any lack of care, please invite Mrs. Shizi Haihan!" ”
"Old lady, you are too polite, I specially brought my little girl to your mansion today to apologize, and I also worked old lady to greet you with dignity, I really don't want to go!"
It's also a compliment, but just saying it not only doesn't mean half a point of guilt, but even a little more reasonable. However, some things are like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, since the old lady can regard the people of the Qingguo Mansion as so important, and the visit of just one Shizi Lady makes her happy as if she is picking a treasure, then she naturally will not pay attention to the tone of the Qiyan family. In the end, she is a woman who has lived in the inner courtyard all her life, and her knowledge is shallow!
"Came to apologize?" The old lady was surprised for a moment, and asked randomly: "I don't know who in the mansion is so short-sighted that he has offended you?" ”
When Wen Mengfan heard this, she couldn't help but want to laugh, if it weren't for her grandfather's persecution, she wouldn't be happy to take this trip, who knew that this old lady in Anguo Houfu would be so funny!
Qi Yan glared at her daughter, which made her hold back the laugh that was about to come out, and then looked at Mrs. Xia, who was sitting in the hall, and said, "Since we came to apologize, then it is our fault, how can we say that it is your house's fault?" ”
"Since you want to apologize, did Madame find the wrong person?"
As soon as Qi Yan's words fell, Xia Xue'er's words came into the house. Hearing this, Wen Mengfan's smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and there was a little more resentment, and a trace of unhappiness also appeared in Qi Yan's eyes, but he quickly covered it up again, and his face was blindly flattering, which was more brilliant than when he was to Mrs. Xia, and when Mrs. Xia saw this, her heart suddenly became a little unhappy.
Xia Xue'er didn't wait for the maid to pass the word, she stepped directly into the house, bowed to the old lady sitting in the hall, and then directly set her eyes on the Qiyan clan who was sitting in the first seat.
"When I came, I didn't know that there were guests in the old lady's house, but I accidentally heard such a conversation at the door, and I came in directly without thinking about it, and asked Mrs. Shizi not to be surprised!"
It's the same smile, but it's not warm.
The Qiyan clan didn't look down on Mrs. Xia very much, but she didn't dare to snub Xia Xue'er, after all, the person who could make her father-in-law feel embarrassed would definitely have a great effect on her husband's future development, so she also stood up and spoke. But just as she was about to speak, Xia Xue'er turned her gaze to her daughter who was sitting on the side, so she could only swallow the words that came to her mouth.
I saw that her eyes were full of banter, but her tone was light and light: "I heard that Miss Wen Si is here to apologize, so let's start!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Mengfan's face suddenly turned red. Although she and her mother came to apologize today, their mother and daughter also knew that this was just a formality, where would a mere Hou Mansion really dare to ask for their apology? So when Xia Xue'er said this sentence as a matter of course, she really didn't expect it!
The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched, and the resentment in her heart deepened a little, on the one hand, she couldn't control her granddaughter, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she didn't know what to do, and offended the Qingguo Mansion, thus causing disaster to the Hou Mansion! But seeing her staring at Miss Guogongfu, it really didn't look like she was joking, she was entangled for a long time, and seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, she coughed lightly twice as a reminder, not wanting her granddaughter to really don't understand or pretend not to care, and didn't want to pay attention to her at all.
"Three girls, don't lose your manners!" After that, he hurriedly looked at the Qiyan family, and said flatteringly: "This girl is too serious, she has no other meaning, Mrs. Shizi must not take it to heart!" ”
"I have long heard that the daughters of your mansion are all outstanding, and it is not a bad thing to be so serious, and only by marrying a wishful husband in the future can you have peace in the rear!"
Qi Yan's words are obviously in the words, and the old lady can also hear it, with a kind smile on her face, but her heart is even more uncomfortable, if she really has her Fengyi one day, I am afraid that my grandmother, who has offended her recently, will not have a better life!
