"It's okay, let's go." Rong Yunhe shook the ten cents, and pulled Lu's mother to follow Mrs. Zhou again. She could already see Peach and Willow Green looking out in front of the door from afar.
Although Mrs. Zhou knew that the mother and daughter of the Jiang family were still following behind, she didn't pay attention to it, and walked straight to the door of Wangjiang Tower to stand still, asked Chunyu to take out an invitation, and said something with a smile to the two mothers-in-law standing in front of the door.
"Mother Lu, Miss Rong, you are here." When Taohong saw Mother Lu's mother, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted her. And Liu Lu saluted from afar, and then retreated into the building, Xu is to inform Mrs. Su.
Lu's mother was about to talk to Taohong, but she heard someone next to her exclaim: "Hey, but Lu's mother? ”
This exclamation was so loud that everyone at the door looked over. It turned out that a chubby woman in her forties ran towards Lu's mother with a face full of surprise.
"Mrs. Liu, has you always been good?" Seeing this fat woman, Lu's mother was also surprised, and hurriedly went up to give a salute.
"Okay, well, I'll be fine when I see you're doing well. Alas, you, this move, and don't contact us, it's also a tough one. Then Mrs. Liu took Lu's mother's hand, sighed infinitely, and looked at Rong Yunhe after speaking, "This is Miss Rong, right?" ”
Rong Yunhe smiled and saluted Mrs. Liu. It can be seen that this Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhou are not all the way. She is really good to Mother Lu. Seeing the truth in the midst of tribulation is true. However, looking at the half-used clothes worn by Mrs. Liu and the mother-in-law she carried, it seems that her family background is not very good.
"Mrs. Liu, are you also coming to Wangjiang Tower?" Mrs. Zhou saw the cold noise in front of the door, but she was not in a hurry to enter. Among the ladies in this city who are qualified, this Mrs. Liu's situation is worse than her. Usually she nods and flatters others, but only in front of Mrs. Liu straightens her waist, although Mrs. Liu doesn't care about her, but she likes to go to Mrs. Liu's side.
"yes." Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Zhou and said lightly.
These two mothers-in-law, one is from the Su Mansion and the other is from the Li family, both of whom are exquisite, capable and capable people, otherwise they would not have been sent here to do such an important errand. Among the ladies invited in the city, only one person was Peach Red and Liu Green who came out to greet them, and they had already seen Peach Hong talking to Mother Lu just now, where would they not know?
Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Mrs. Zhang of the Qin Mansion smiled and was about to invite Mother Lu in, but Mrs. Zhou said, "Mother Lu, if you are a good sister of Mrs. Liu, leave here quickly." Otherwise, because of your business, Mrs. Liu will be scolded by Mrs. Assassin Shi and Mrs. General, then you will be too ignorant. Didn't I give you ten cents just now? Wouldn't it be better to find a seat in the teahouse over there and see the excitement than to go to a place that doesn't belong to you? ”
The two mothers-in-law listened to Mrs. Zhou's words, looked at each other, and after reacting, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they almost couldn't help laughing.
Peach was angry, and snorted coldly: "Which mansion are you from?" ”
Mrs. Zhou didn't recognize Taohong, and she didn't see Taohong coming up from the door just now, and she wondered why a girl suddenly appeared next to Lu's mother. But she didn't bother to think about it so much, she didn't answer Taohong's words at all, looked at Mother Lu and frowned: "Mother Lu, you used to be a person with some status, why didn't you even care about anyone after the family sold the family property and moved to the countryside?" When the host speaks, what does Yahuan say? Isn't it that you don't have the money to buy a girl, where did you spend a few pennies to hire a wild girl? ”
"Oh? Who doesn't even care about the subordinates? Which one is the wild girl hired for a few pennies? Pink was about to speak, but a familiar voice came from the door. As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Su, who was wearing a jade ornament and a golden hairpin and an embroidered brocade skirt, held Liu Lu's hand and slowly walked out of the door, followed by Mrs. Li Tingshi, who was also dressed luxuriously and elegantly.
Seeing the two ladies suddenly come out of the door, Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that her feet trembled a little. Although these two ladies have only met the general's wife once, she knows Mrs. Li's temper. This lady looks gentle and kind, but she is a tough person in her bones, and she is most disgusted with being rude. Not to mention whether this matter is right or wrong today, but scolding and making trouble in front of Wangjiang Tower is an act that violates the taboo of Mrs. Shi.
However, looking at the situation when the two of them came out, it should be the general's wife who spoke just now. This lady seems to be amiable, and should be better spoken than Mrs. Li. The face of the general's wife, Mrs. Thorn Shi shouldn't give it, right? Besides, she just scolded a village woman who had no money and no power, for the sake of being the wife of the eunuch, presumably these two ladies would not delve too deeply.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Mrs. Liu would help Mother Lu speak first, so she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said with a deep salute: "Mrs. Li, Mrs. Su, the concubine is the wife of the Zhou Records family of the government office. It's just that a village woman who hasn't gotten the invitation has been following behind the concubine and wants to sneak into the Wangjiang Tower, and Mrs. Liu is still helping to intercede.
The concubine thought, how can any village husband and woman enter the noble land where the two ladies are located? So I helped persuade her a few words, and gave her ten cents to go to the teahouse outside to see the excitement. But I didn't want the village woman's maid to lack discipline, so she talked back without the permission of the master, and the concubine spoke louder, disturbing the two, and asked the two ladies to forgive me. ”
Mrs. Su looked at Mrs. Zhou, squinted her eyes and chuckled, and said, "I didn't know that people who didn't have an invitation on this road couldn't walk." I didn't have an invitation today, but I also left, Mrs. Zhou, don't you want to say that I followed you into Wangjiang Tower? One of the distinguished guests I invited today really didn't send an invitation, because we are a family, and we don't need to send things that are outside the country. As for who can enter today's Wangjiang Tower and who can't, I'm afraid this is also a matter between me and Mrs. Li, and I really don't need Mrs. Zhou to worry about it. Also, Mrs. Zhou said that she was a contradictory girl, but which one? With that, she pointed to Pink.
Mrs. Zhou's face turned white by Mrs. Su's words with a gun and a stick, and she didn't know where she was wrong, which made Mrs. General so annoyed. Seeing Mrs. Su pointing towards Peach, she nodded subconsciously.
"This one, but my personal ring. Mrs. Zhou said that she would not discipline people, didn't she mean me? A few pennies hired by a wild girl? Hmph, to put it mildly, the year before last in the capital, there was an eight-rank official who wanted to marry a girl like me as a wife, but my girl didn't take a fancy to him. Mrs. Zhou, your husband is only from Jiupin now, right? ”
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale, but now she was trembling. scolded Mrs. Zhou for not being able to discipline her subordinates, and scolded Mrs. Zhou's henchman for being a wild girl, if this Mrs. Su holds a grudge against her, it will not be difficult for her husband to go from nine grades to nothing. Thinking of the consequences, she was speechless.
Mrs. Su then walked up to Mother Lu, gave a deep salute, and said with a guilty face: "Sister, my sister can't stand you." This is all on your own turf, and you have to be bullied and ridiculed by outsiders, my sister is really embarrassed. ”
This "sister" was like a thunderclap, which startled Mrs. Zhou, who was already pale and trembling, and her mind went blank.
Mrs. Su is letting herself step on her face, and Mother Lu will naturally not live up to her kindness, she stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Su, who was half-squatting and saluting, and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't have to be polite." It's all the fault of those snobs, and it has nothing to do with my sister. ”
It was only at this time that Mrs. Li, who had been silent behind the ground, came over and said with a smile: "Mother Lu, I am the one who is the east with Mrs. Su today, and I have been wronged, so I am naturally indispensable to apologize." What happened just now, please forgive Mother Lu. After speaking, he also blessed Lu's mother.
At this moment, not only Mrs. Zhou's whole body trembled, but even Mrs. Liu's heart was also terrified, and her eyes were full of shock when she looked at Mother Lu. Mother Lu had no good luck in the end, so that the two most powerful ladies in Pingzhou City bowed and apologized to her, and the general's wife was even more commensurate with her sister.
At this time, Mrs. Su turned to Taohong again and shouted: "In vain, you have followed me for a few years, and you can do things in normal times, but today I just asked you to come out to see if Mother Lu has arrived, so that I can be called out to greet me." Now you can't even do this little thing, what use do you want? ”
Taohong took a step forward and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Rong Yunhe, turned around and smiled: "Auntie, don't be angry anymore, you're angry, my mother and I don't want to go." It's not Lady Pink's fault for this, so don't blame her. After speaking, he stepped forward, put his arm around Mrs. Su and shook it, "Okay?" ”
Mrs. Su laughed with a "flutter", pointed Rong Yunhe's forehead with her finger, and said with a smile: "You have come to intercede, can I say it badly?" He softened his tone and said to Peach: "That's it." For Miss Rong's sake, spare you this time. ”
"Mrs. Xie, thank you, Miss Rong." Pink blessed them.
"Let's go, let's go in." Mrs. Su looked at Mrs. Li and Mother Lu's quarrel, and said with a smile.
Mother Lu greeted Mrs. Liu, and was about to go in together, only to hear a "plop" behind her, everyone was stunned, and turned around, but it was Mrs. Zhou, kneeling straight in front of them, full of remorse.
"Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Li, the concubine is so stupid that she made a big mistake and collided with the two distinguished guests, and asked the two ladies to punish them."
Mrs. Su glanced at her and said, "It was Mother Lu who you collided with today, not me and Mrs. Li." Apologize to us, doesn't Mrs. Zhou feel that she is kneeling in the wrong direction? ”
Originally, the officialdom paid attention to subtlety, and paid attention to leaving room for one. Just like the General's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion are now fighting fiercely for power, but Mrs. Su and Mrs. Li still have to be happy and maintain a superficial harmony. So Mrs. Zhou's matter, originally according to Mrs. Su's temper, she didn't even bother to make a fire, so she just ignored this person, and when it was appropriate, she blew the pillow wind on her husband and suppressed this unsightly thing.
But today, she spoke so revealingly, also to make Lu's mother angry. Otherwise, Mother Lu was ridiculed in front of her, and you didn't even say a cruel word, wouldn't it make her feel cold?
Listen to the sound of words, listen to the sound of gongs and drums. Mrs. Zhou listened to Mrs. Su's meaning, as long as Mother Lu was not angry, this matter would be over today. She also knew that Mother Lu was a little soft-hearted, so she quickly turned to Mother Lu, bowed down, and cried bitterly: "Today, the concubine has no eyes and has collided with Mrs., and I ask Mrs. to forgive the concubine for the sake of acquaintance." ”
Mother Lu didn't want to worry about her anymore, but as soon as she said two soft words at this time, she sighed, stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhou, and said, "Okay, get up, it's okay." ”
With Mother Lu's words, Mrs. Zhou was not at ease, raised her head and looked at Mrs. Su and Mrs. Li again, kneeling there without moving. Mrs. Su waved her hand and said indifferently, "Okay, hurry up." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door with Mrs. Li.
The ancients didn't feel much about kneeling, but Rong Yunhe was different. Although Mrs. Zhou was extremely angry when she was sarcastic and sarcastic about them, she took the ten cents and prepared to return it to her in public when she went to Wangjiang Tower, and gave her a shot back, so as to show the depression in her heart. But I didn't want this to kneel directly to the ground and kneel, which is a very strict thing for modern people, killing people is not enough to nod to the ground, for the sake of dignity, even if you die, you can't kneel. So at this time, Rong Yunhe felt that this breath was too big, which made her feel a little unbearable.
Seeing Mrs. Su and the others turn around and enter the door, she took a step behind, took out the ten cents from her arms, stuffed them into Mrs. Zhou's hand, and said, "There is always a friendship of ten cents, I will help you intercede and persuade Aunt Su to dissipate her anger." After speaking, he took a step forward and helped Mrs. Liu, who was left behind, into the door. Mrs. Zhou was left stunned with the ten cents and knelt on the ground for a long time without moving.
"Mother Lu, Miss Rong." As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Wenwan and Xue Wuniang standing in the small hall in the door. Mother Lu was sarcastic just now, and Mrs. Su and Mrs. Li also understood it in the foyer, worried that the two juniors would embarrass Mother Lu when they went out, so they left them in the small hall. At this time, when they came in, they saluted each other again.
"Alright, let's go upstairs. The dragon boat race will start soon. Mrs. Su said, then turned around and greeted Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Mrs. Liu, please." ”
She is also very grateful to Mrs. Liu for protecting Mother Lu just now. It was Mrs. Li, who also felt that Mrs. Liu was benevolent and righteous. As the saying goes: a virtuous wife and a husband have few misfortunes. There is such a lady, presumably her husband's character is not much worse, and if there is a chance, you can see how this husband of Mrs. Liu learns.
A few people slowly went upstairs, and as soon as they came up, Rong Yunhe heard the sound of talking upstairs and quieted down, and then a kind lady came up to talk to Mrs. Su and Mrs. Li, and greeted Mother Lu and Mrs. Liu.
Walking forward, countless voices of discussion quietly sounded, and Rong Yunhe, who had extraordinary ear power, listened to it. (To be continued.) )
