Chapter 499: Selling favors casually
Fang Xiaoyu's words were already very polite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info One is that she is a junior, and the Duchess of Lu Guo is an elder, so she should be respected, and then she is actually expressing her dissatisfaction with the Lu Guo Mansion.
It's you who want to entertain people, and you treat people like this when they come?
You made the post, right? You don't have to invite people, right? Why do people respect you and give you face, but you find a brain-dead person to find a child in front of the door, and you don't allow her to be angry?
To say that he was uncomfortable at all, it was not a lie, and Wei was also panicked in his heart. Fang Xiaoyu is too much younger than her, and she will definitely not have a good time when she is counted down like this at the door of her own house.
However, it was she who was the first to blame.
Although she herself felt quite aggrieved, after all, who knew that this nouveau riche would not look at it like this. You said you were okay and you were going to eat some snacks and drink some tea, what are you doing when you run out and show your eyes?
The eldest princess arrived at the door of her house and was treated like this. If you catch up with the big temperament, I'm afraid you will have already thrown your face and left. If this matter is spread out, it will be on time tomorrow morning, and her father-in-law will be scolded by the emperor.
Even the emperor's sister dares to bully, what a face and how bold is this? Does this nouveau riche really think that her man is now appreciated by the emperor, and she will be able to stand on the head of the eldest princess and be presumptuous?
And Fang Xiaoyu watched people call the eldest princess a mother, no matter where the matter went, there was no reason to scold her. This is to relieve his mother's anger, even if the two are not related by blood, it can also be a good story.
The most important thing is that the identity is there.
Wei is clear. Look at her, she sounds like she is from the Luguo Mansion. Duchess Guo, what a nice name it has been passed on, but she hasn't forgotten that there is still a mess in her house that has not been settled.
When she married into the Lu State Mansion, she didn't expect to become the hostess of this place one day. She is a concubine, married to a concubine, and the concubine is pressed on her head, and the husband and wife are in charge of the eight lifetimes?
But I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune. She and Xianggong never thought that there would be a day when they would be in charge of the Lu Guogong Mansion, but in the end, they really threw this luck on their heads by mistake, so they have always been careful for fear that they would make a mistake and be beaten back to their original shape.
For example, if it is not a special circumstance, how can a family like Guogongfu be the head of the family? What's more, although their second brother is a muddy person who can't support the wall, but he is a good son-in-law, but he can't get the title, are you really willing to be him?
He was scared of being chased by the old man with a stick for a few streets, so he was alive for a while. If anything happens to them, the other party will pounce on them like hungry wild dogs and take away what they have so hard-won.
And Fang Xiaoyu, don't look at her as a teenage girl, but her status is not low.
Her father is a general with hundreds of thousands of troops, and her husband's family is a royal family, but she is herself, first she was named a virtuous county lord by the emperor, and then she was a lady who was called the king of the first order.
A good word doesn't just come out of nowhere. Either the husband's family has a huge credit to the court, or he himself has a huge credit to the court.
Since the founding of the country, how many do you think there is a good life?
Nowadays, there are few ladies and old ladies in the capital, but there are not many second and third grades. But this princess of King An got everything in her teens.
How many were not convinced at first? How many sour words are there? But a catastrophe in the capital passed, and thanks to this Miss Fang, many people were able to save their lives, especially those who took refuge in King An's mansion, and they were even more convinced of her identity as a Buddhist woman. Overnight, she relied on this natural disaster to dispel everyone's jealousy and dissatisfaction, and now in the capital, when it comes to her eldest lady's name, how many people are not cold-eyed, but want to go to her to ask for a hand-copied Buddhist scripture or bead chain and other objects, and after getting it, she is still happy to wear it and never take it off, which is more sought-after than the things that have been opened by the monks in the Buddhist temple.
And no wonder. The capital has not yet recovered its former prosperity, and there are still some ruins left. Looking at this scene and thinking about the horrors of that day, it is not difficult to understand the attitude of these people.
Although Wei was the Duchess of the Kingdom, she didn't dare to really fall out with Fang Xiaoyu. Her old lady is now a loyal believer of this Miss Fang, if she really dares to turn her face with the other party, when her old lady comes back to her senses, it will be strange if she doesn't slap her to death with the sole of her shoe. The old man was afraid again, and when he came back, he found that they had made the old lady angry, and with the old man's temper, she felt sorry for her husband and herself.
Moreover, although people are young, they are big. A good order, don't talk about her, even if the old lady of her family sees it, it stands to reason that she has to salute first. Anyway, she is determined to lose this loss today. But she doesn't hate the eldest princess, she doesn't hate Fang Xiaoyu, she hates the nouveau riche who has no brains and no eyesight.
The princess laughed. Today is not mine, so that the eldest princess has been wronged. But the princess can also see that my Lu Guogong Mansion has no intention of humiliating the eldest princess. Now that the princess and the eldest princess have arrived, please give my old lady two thin noodles, so don't worry about her. Wei had to be careful secretly, the white eyes rolled very rhythmically, and the gaze at the nouveau riche was like eating people, which made the eldest princess feel a lot less angry.
It's good that this matter wasn't ordered by the Lu Guogong Mansion, and she is not so angry. The main reason is that she is not the only one offended by this nouveau riche, in the upper circles of the entire capital, she can be annoyed by the Luguo Mansion in a circle.
Coupled with the appearance of Fang Xiaoyu, her mood calmed down inexplicably, and her worries in the morning were eliminated a lot. The burden on her heart suddenly relaxed, and she almost lost her footing.
Fortunately, Fang Xiaoyu was quick and helped her. For some reason, the back of her hand was a little cold when she was smiling, but her heart felt warm.
Seeing that the eldest princess didn't seem to be jealous of her, Wei Shi was also relieved in private, and hurriedly welcomed the two in, and did not forget to glare at the nouveau riche fiercely when leaving, and then did not look at her again, and led the two all the way to the Hundred Gardens.
"The princess has been busy recently, and my old lady has posted several times to invite the princess to get together, but there is no news. Today, the princess is willing to appreciate her face, and the old lady must be happy. Wei's meaning, one is to express her friendship with the Lu State Mansion, and also to dilute Fang Cai's embarrassment through a complaining tone.
"It's not like I'm a junior." The other party gave a smile, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't reach out to fight, not to mention that she actually liked this duchess from a concubine. Although she is a concubine, her tutor is a good one. And have a good heart, often go to the city gate to put porridge for those who can't eat to fill their stomachs, in the circle of the capital, the reputation is good. So she smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say it." A few days ago, there were too many people who went to my house to ask for scriptures, and there were not enough scriptures in hand, so I was lazy and stopped everyone at the door, so I secretly went to the dry temple outside the city to live for a while. One is to copy some scriptures, make some Buddha bead bracelets, and chant the Buddha day and night by the monks of the dry Zen Temple, and raise them under the Buddha statue. Two days ago, my mother asked someone to say that Madame was going to invite us to a banquet to see a strange flower, and my mother knew that I liked these flowers, so she called me here. I thought, it just so happened that the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist beads were almost raised, and I remembered that the old lady of your house seemed to eat fasting and reciting Buddha all the year round, so I thought that I would bring a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and bead chains and give them to the old lady, so as to ensure safety and smoothness. But this morning I went back to the general's mansion, a moment of fast, the cowhide blew out, said that it was the legs and feet faster than the carriage, my mother did not believe it, so I made a bet, although the carriage arrived first, but I also only front and rear feet, Mrs. said, can I win? ”
Fang Xiaoyu said so many words, how could the Wei family not see her attitude, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, if you want me to say, it is said that the tiger father has no dog girl, it is really not false at all. I'm afraid that the princess let the princess, so she fell into the carriage half a step, otherwise with the princess's handsome kung fu, how could she not be compared to a horse? I looked, and the princess admitted that the princess was very tight. ”
"That's not what you said?" The eldest princess said with a sincere smile on her face: "Her father used to praise her in front of me, saying that this kid is handsome in kung fu, and even he can't compare." At that time, I still didn't believe it, how could an apprentice beat the master so quickly? Now I believe it, at least when it comes to light work, even my generals are afraid that they will bow down. ”
Wei saw that although the eldest princess and Fang Xiaoyu were not related by blood, they had a good relationship. But after seeing Fang Xiaoyu's appearance, the eldest princess's relaxed face could tell a point or two. So she is not afraid to praise Fang Xiao, even if the eldest princess's bet is lost, you can see the smile on the eldest princess's face, and she knows that the eldest princess is in a happy mood at the moment.
Finally, I wasn't really affected by the nouveau riche.
"Princess, don't think I'm greedy, I just heard from the princess that I brought hand-copied scriptures and Buddhist beads, but is it true?" Wei smiled and changed the subject.
"I brought a roll." Fang Xiaoyu also replied with a smile.
"That's a good idea. My old lady was afraid that she was going to laugh and bend her mouth. The princess may not know that the old lady of my family is now a believer in the princess, and she even wants to get the hand-copied scriptures of the princess in her dreams. If she knew that her wish had been fulfilled now, she would have eaten two more bowls of rice with Noh. "Wei is not lying, either. Although there is a vague meaning of flattery, the old lady of her family is indeed a believer in Fang Xiaoyu. And Fang Xiaoyu's hand-copied scriptures flowed out so little, and the old lady didn't get a volume, which was about to become the old lady's heart disease.
She can't quite understand the old lady's pious psychology, but as a child, it's good to see the elders happy, and naturally she is really happy for the old lady.
"Oh? I see? Fang Xiaoyu pretended to hear about this for the first time, so she took out a scroll of scriptures and a bracelet from her arms, handed them to Wei's hands, and winked at her: "In this case, this scroll of scriptures and bracelets will be handed over to the old lady by the lady herself." It was said that the lady begged for the old lady. This sutra was copied by my own hand, and the Buddhist beads on the bracelet were also strung by me, and I kept them under the Buddha statue, and I received incense and faith every day. If the old lady knew that the lady thought of her so much, she would have remembered the good of the lady. Fang Xiaoyu sold a favor above board.
She actually knew. The old lady of the Lu Guogong Mansion once gave her a lot of posts, but she didn't have ready-made gifts such as scriptures and books at that time, and there were too many people who wanted to feast her, so she slipped away directly with Ye Xici. The people below knew that she was not in the house, but they couldn't mention it to people casually, so they blocked all the posts on the grounds of closing the door to thank customers.
This time, she had come back with a bag of scriptures and bracelets. The scriptures were copied by her own hands, of course, there were also Ye Xi's resignations, and the bracelet was also strung up by her beads one by one, but it was nonsense to keep them under the Buddha statue in the dry Zen Temple, and they were just raised under a Buddha statue that she bought casually in Da Zhou, and smoked incense for a while. However, it is enough to fool people.
She was going to go back to the general's mansion directly, but she met the family's carriage halfway, so she followed all the way. When she first appeared, she threw the burden on the carriage of the eldest princess, and only drew a sutra book and a string of bracelets, which she regarded as a gift to the old lady.
Now there are many people in the capital who want her to copy the scriptures by hand. Not necessarily all believers, but she has a good reputation, and many people believe that as long as she does something with her own hands, it has the effect of keeping peace. So a few paintings of calligraphy and painting that she wrote in the past are now all sold at a high price.
So she is not short of silver at all. When you don't have money to spend, sell something and you can eat and drink spicy food.
What's more, the person who assassinated Xiao Jin a few days ago was disguised by her as a subordinate of the underworld, and Xiao Jin no longer believed that the people around him could block those strange assassinations, so she had to ask her to send a few capable people to protect him. No, she easily let Xiao Jin give away the wealth obtained from the destruction of Baiya Villa with both hands.
Now, she is a little rich woman again.
Fang Xiaoyu knew that the Wei family and his wife were both born as concubines, and although the old lady didn't hate them, the title was given to the concubine, and it was impossible to feel unhappy in her heart.
But the sister-in-law is indeed a loser, and the old lady can't speak, although the sister-in-law is in charge, but she is also filial to her mother, so the matter is settled.
It's just that after that, I don't know if I was discouraged or what, the old lady gradually didn't like to come forward, and burned incense and worshiped the Buddha in the small Buddha hall.
Fang Xiaoyu's gift may not be worth it in the eyes of outsiders. But in the eyes of the devout believer, it is a priceless treasure.
Therefore, Wei is very grateful for the favor that Fang Xiaoyu sold casually.
If the old lady accepted her heart, in the future, their husband and wife would be truly justified in this Lu State Mansion. Even if the second brother comes to make trouble again, they are not afraid. (To be continued.) )
