The subordinates laid dishes and chopsticks for Wen Shu, and Wen Shu sat obediently next to Tong Qiuyu's subordinates.
It was the first time for Wen Shu to eat with so many people, and seeing that they were all eating like Sven, Wen Shu secretly felt cold, and couldn't help but feel restrained. Although she is not rude in appearance, compared to them, it is a little embarrassing.
"Shu'er, why don't you eat vegetables?" Tong Qiuyu asked with concern, and then put Wen Shu's favorite dishes into the small plate in front of her.
"I just ate some in the house, and my stomach is already a little full." Wen Shu rubbed his little belly and said coquettishly.
Tong Qiuyu scratched her little nose dotingly.
"I don't know the rules when I eat, and I don't know the rules when I eat." The eldest lady glanced over, Tong Qiuyu immediately closed her mouth, and Wen Shu also quietly stuck out her tongue, saying in her heart that this eldest lady is really stern, like an old-fashioned antique. Having said that, she still closed her mouth and ate quietly.
After the meal, the subordinates removed the food and cleaned up the table. The family gathers around, and there is a posture of a family meeting.
Wen Zheng first asked the eldest lady about the situation in the back house, and the eldest lady picked up the important ones and told Wen Zheng. For example, it will be the fiftieth birthday of the Queen Mother in the near future, and the wives in other houses are already planning to give the Queen Mother some gifts.
Today, he governs the country with filial piety, and he respects and loves this queen mother. Every year on the queen mother's birthday, the emperor will feast the ministers in the Jingde Palace, and the momentum is so big. The ministers offered gifts, the officials congratulated, and the various prefectures prepared gifts, and the people who were selected also performed after-entertainment programs to make the queen mother and the elderly happy, and the excitement was incomparable.
The ladies of various provinces regard the birthday of the Queen Mother as the biggest event of the year. From the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, I always thought about what gifts to prepare for the Queen Mother.
After all, if the gift she gives makes her old man happy, she will not only be praised by the Queen Mother, but she may also be able to help her husband be promoted, and she will have face in front of her husband, get his attention and joy. And this, you can also take the opportunity to step on those little foxes~ Meizi, so as to tell them that the light will confuse ~ It is useless to confuse men, and the only one who can really help her husband is herself.
The eldest lady is very skilled in this, every year she prepares a birthday gift for Wen Zheng is very happy with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother does not know how many times she praised in front of Wen Zheng, saying that he married a good wife who is knowledgeable and good at keeping the house. Therefore, the eldest lady can still speak to the queen mother, and the queen mother will invite her to sit with her in the palace from time to time and relieve her boredom.
The second lady also wanted to take this matter over, and she once had trouble with the eldest lady about this when she was favored. Wen Zheng usually spoils her very much, almost obediently, but she refuses to do it in one bite, and asks her not to think about it again in the future.
Women are too spoiled, they are easy to be arrogant and greedy, the second lady just entered the house and knew how much to converge, and later with Wen Zheng's pet ~ love, she couldn't find the north more and more, and she didn't know who she was. As for the eldest lady, when the second lady asked her for power, she was unusual, and she gave it to her who was very talkative. Between the words, he also intentionally or unintentionally revealed his envy for the second lady's favor.
The proud and noble eldest lady is envious of the favor she has received, which makes the second lady even more proud, and her demeanor is even more like wanting to suppress the eldest lady.
The second lady was proud, completely unaware that she was stepping into the trap of the eldest lady. Wen Zheng understands the things in the back house, and he also knows what kind of powerful character his original wife is, but this qiē is all Xue Ya's own fault, and he is happy to turn a blind eye.
Until the second lady insisted on preparing the birthday gift for the queen mother, the result was that year the prince of Pingnan County lost face in front of the ministers, although the queen mother didn't say anything, from the corners of her stiff mouth with a stiff smile, she also knew how such vulgar things were not liked by her old man.
I don't know which concubine joked, saying that this year's birthday gift of the Pingnan County Mansion is really special, different from the past. Everyone guessed that this was the masterpiece of the second room.
The queen mother's birthday is such a big event, and she actually asked a concubine to handle it, which is really ugly to say. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's magnanimity, taking care of the face of this county grandfather in front of people, he would really not be able to get off the stage.
Wen Zheng was furious when she returned home, although the eldest lady knew that this move was risky, after all, she didn't want Wen Zheng to lose face in front of people. Wen Zheng is usually busy, and she never needs to ask about such things, but she knows in advance what gifts are prepared in the second room.
The eldest lady also knew very well that Wen Zheng would even ask her for the guilt if this matter was not good, but this was a bet she made. If she wins the bet, then her position as the housewife will be consolidated, and those who try to provoke her as the housewife will fall out of favor. The bet was lost, and she didn't have much to lose.
She wants to take this opportunity to remind Wen Zheng that she is the one who can really support the Wen family's house and handle all the tedious matters. She is Wen Zheng's wife, and she is the only one who admits it in the eyes of outsiders! Besides, even if the gamble is lost, Wen Zheng will not really treat her well, because Wen Zheng does not dare to bear the notoriety of "spoiling concubines and destroying wives". After all, in the affairs of the Queen Mother, the second lady wants power from her, and who called Wen Zheng has always chosen to turn a blind eye.
This can be regarded as the eldest lady taking the opportunity to express her grievances to Wen Zheng for such a long time, Wen Zheng is a smart person, many things will make him disgusted if he does many things in vain, and obscurity can have an unexpected effect.
She won the bet, and the woman has fallen out of favor ever since. Wen Zheng stayed at the eldest lady's residence overnight, and took more care of her and pampered her. I thought that Wen Zheng would be angry with her, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Although the eldest lady was uneasy in her heart, she also knew that her husband had an incomprehensible temper. Instead of guessing by yourself, it is better to enjoy the warmth ~ storage he gives when you can have it.
No matter how false this feeling is, she still has to use every qiē to protect the warmth like a flower in the moon mirror in the water.
This is the sorrow of the woman in the mansion, knowing that the man can't have any true feelings at all, he will still fall deeper and deeper, or he will fall headlong regardless of it.
Since she was a child, her mother has praised her for her intelligence and her ability to see things clearly, so she makes her mother feel at ease. However, twenty years ago, when she saw the man in fresh clothes and angry horses outside the palace gate, she was destined to be the doom of her life.
For so many years, she had never been sure that she had ever won this man's heart. Even if you don't get it, you can't get it from others. The woman in the second room is embarrassed to be proud in front of herself, a stupid woman, her shallow heart will never be able to iron the soul of a man like Wen Zheng-
