Chapter 068: Suppression
The concubines went to the old town to cry and complain, where could the old town see the tears of the beauty, and they had to go to Zhou's theory right now.
Who knows, but on the way to Zhou's courtyard, he accidentally fell and lost half his life.
Before he died, he was smart and entrusted his original son-in-law, Su Jiansheng, to Lao Dingnanhou, that is, Shen Nanzhu's grandfather.
With the support of the old Marquis Dingnan, the title and family assets of the Marquis of Zhenyuan were not robbed by the two cousins who were not even better than him, and they were passed on smoothly to the young child at that time, that is, the current Marquis of Zhenyuan, Su Mengbao's father.
But Mrs. Su's notoriety has been passed down since then, and Su Jiansheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, also disliked her because she acted perversely and indirectly killed her father, and never saw her except for greeting her and some necessary occasions.
How could such a person who even the Marquis of Zhenyuan himself hated and didn't want to see each other, how could it be so important that Shen Nanzhu took the initiative to stay and meet in person?
The old lady was a little puzzled, but when she saw his gentle gaze when she looked at Mengbao, she was surprised for a while, and patted her knee with a smile: "What? Are you afraid that your grandmother will be angry and eat your daughter-in-law? ”
Shen Nanzhu's face remained unchanged, but there was a touch of embarrassment in his eyes, he did see that his grandmother was a little angry just now, and he was afraid that she would be angry with Mengbao, so he stayed, but he couldn't say it.
"Why, it's just to stay and say hello to the elders." He said
That kind of elder needs him to stay and say hello? I won't even look for a decent reason!
The old lady smiled, but she was very happy in her heart: "Okay, grandmother won't embarrass Mengbao, you go and get busy with yours." ”
Shen Nanzhu didn't get up: "Anyway, it's a car ride and not a horse, so the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet." It doesn't matter if you go early or late. ”
It's insisting on staying.
It seems that he is not only afraid that he will be angry with Mengbao, but also afraid that the vulgar and stupid woman will embarrass Mengbao when she comes, the old lady said in her heart.
The two husband and wife were deeply in love, which was really happy in the eyes of the old lady, so she didn't stop it.
Xi'er got the order of the old lady to pick up the old lady Su, and after two cups of tea, she brought people into Shoufangyuan. Then he retreated.
Mengbao stood up to greet him. The old lady motioned for her to stand beside her.
One was dressed in a rosewood armor, wearing a full set of red gold head jewelry, and a red gold bracelet two fingers wide on each wrist. An old woman with a ring of various colored gemstones on her finger and a pearl necklace around her neck walked in.
This glittering dress almost dazzled Mengbao's eyes, making her feel the urge to hold her forehead and say that she didn't know her.
Old Madam Su seemed to want to wait for Mengbao to step forward to help her, so she stopped at the door.
But seeing Mengbao did not move. I had no choice but to cross the threshold and walk in.
"Old Madam Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Although I extremely don't want to take the initiative to say hello. But her status is lower, and the old lady is not a little bit of a star, and she dare not be negligent in etiquette.
The old lady snorted lightly, and didn't even make a gesture of leaning, but just said to Mengbao on the side: "Mengbao." Don't go and give your step-grandmother a salute yet. ”
Mengbao almost burst out laughing, pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head, for fear that the smile on her lips would be looked at.
Step grandmother......
The old lady gave this ...... It's so much in place. It is estimated that Mrs. Su can be turned on her back angrily!
Step-grandmother, that is, the step-room of the grandfather.
Originally, step-grandmothers could be called grandmothers directly. Just like a stepmother can be called a mother.
But the old lady opened her mouth and asked Mengbao to call Mrs. Su her stepgrandmother, which was deliberately emphasizing that she was not the original match.
The most important thing is that the step-grandmother has the same sound as Grandmother Ji, and Grandmother Ji refers to her grandfather's concubine.
This pun is a pun, whether it is a stepgrandmother or a Ji grandmother when it is shouted, it all depends on what the person who shouts and the person who listens to it thinks.
Mengbao stepped forward with a smile, saluted respectfully and obediently, and called: "Step grandmother." ”
Mrs. Su was really angry, and her hand was on Gao's mother, who had taken care of her for many years, and pinched Gao's mother and frowned.
"The second girl used to call me grandmother in the house, why did she get married and split up with me?"
She forcibly suppressed her anger and said in a strange way.
Before Mengbao could squeak, the old lady spoke again: "It's not the past, and this is not your house." Since Mengbao married to my Dingnanhou Mansion, he naturally has to abide by the rules of my Dingnanhou Mansion. ”
It means that for the Dingnan Hou Mansion, she is just Mengbao's stepgrandmother or Ji grandmother.
Old Madam Su was suppressed before she could say a word when she entered the door, but the other party's status was much higher than her, and what she said was not wrong, she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
This is also the reason why she didn't want to come here before, but wanted to go directly to Mengbao's Jingxin Garden.
You don't need to see this high-ranking old woman in Jingxin Garden, you don't have to suffer from these idleness!
Mengbao is her granddaughter, and it's not for her to rub and rub her round, and scold as much as she wants!
Knowing that it is difficult to speak quickly in terms of identity and status now, Old Madam Su no longer dwelled on these, and instead said: "I asked someone to come to Dingnanhou Mansion yesterday to deliver the news, saying that I would come over today, why didn't you wait for me in Jingxin Garden, and came to Old Madam Shen?" ”
"You had someone deliver the message yesterday? When? Handed it to whom? Why didn't I see the post? ”
Old Madam Shen asked again and again, but she didn't give Mengbao a chance to speak.
And listen to her...... Are you going to admit it?
As an elder, Mrs. Su naturally would not surrender her identity to Mengbao as a junior, but the entrance hall of Dingnanhou Mansion was noble, and she did not come just by virtue of her grandmother's identity.
The best way is for her to post to the old lady, come in the name of visiting the old lady, and then stop by to see Mengbao, so that people can't find faults.
But once she gave the old lady a post, she had to visit the old lady first.
But she knew that the old lady had always looked at her unpleasantly, and she would definitely not give her a good face when she saw her.
Knowing that the other party will not give her a good face, how can she rush to send her face to be beaten?
Therefore, she only sent someone to say hello to the porter of Dingnanhou Mansion, telling them that they were going to come to see Mengbao on the second day, and planned to go directly to Jingxin Garden after coming, and not see the old lady.
Unexpectedly, in the end, I met the old lady and didn't say anything, and the other party didn't admit that she knew in advance that she was coming!
At this moment, Old Madam Su couldn't hold back any longer, and her voice unconsciously rose a little higher: "I clearly asked someone to pass the message to the concierge of Dingnanhou Mansion yesterday, why don't you look like you don't know now?" How? I didn't see the post, so I didn't pass the word? This is the hospitality of your Dingnanhou Mansion? ”
"I didn't see the post, how do I know if you passed the word? Since you insist that you have had the word spoken, call the messenger and ask him when he came, what he said, and to whom he sent the word. Isn't it enough to make it clear, why are you doing it so loudly? Is it reasonable to be loud? Or do you think anyone who comes to our house just needs to say hello to the porter? Is it a matter of reason to visit your home without posting? (To be continued)
