Chapter 237: Arrogance
Jiang Wei's words were also a pun, and the listener couldn't help but wonder if Song Ke'er hadn't changed because of her proud attitude and sharp words when she spoke, or if she was still unmarried at the age of twenty-five and was waiting for Huo Shijiu to favor her.
This "shrew" lady is really good at talking.
Many noble ladies couldn't help but purse their lips and snicker, and some forced them to smile and turn their faces away, deliberately whispering to others.
Song Ke'er's face turned blue and red for a while, glared at Jiang Yan fiercely, and sneered: "What Madam said is that I have not changed much, unlike Madame's growing reputation. ”
"Fortunately, Miss Song won the award, I'm just a fox and a fake tiger, if you say that you are truly 'knowledgeable' and 'model of women', who can compare with the British Duchess today?" Jiang Wei turned around and looked at the British duchess very sincerely.
Her eyes were clear, so that the British duchess couldn't tell for a while whether she was genuinely praising or sarcastic. After all, she has seen a big scene, no matter what Jiang Wei meant, the British duchess regarded it as a compliment, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jinninghou is really overrated, where can the old body afford these two sentences." ”
All the ladies were busy praising and flattering at the right time, and everyone's attention shifted to the English duchess. The four goddaughters-in-law were really relieved, and came to hug Jiang Yan roughly, and laughed in a low voice: "Godmother, come here to rest for a while." Don't pay attention to people who don't know the depths and the severity. ”
"Yes, it's really shameless to covet other people's husbands and have the face to make trouble." This sentence is a bit sincere, presumably because of the vixen's anger.
"Godmother, sit down and taste this tea."
……
Jiang Yu went to the other side to sit down and drink tea accompanied by several people. There are also people around me who laugh.
After all. The English Duchess is feared and cannot be disobeyed. But a little Song Keer, who would take it to heart?
Song Ke'er stood in place, her fists clenched in her sleeves, and she almost crushed her silver teeth with hatred.
At this moment, a well-dressed daughter-in-law suddenly trotted into the hall and whispered back to the British Duchess: "Old lady, Grandpa Guo asks you to set aside a piece of land alone, and he and his distinguished guests will also come to be lively." ”
Honored guest of the British public. It is also necessary to carve out a place for people, and the one who comes must be a man.
The British duchess was a little surprised, today is a banquet for female guests, why did the big man's family come to join in the fun? However, she still ordered people to go to the easternmost side of the Qiuhua Hall to place a folding screen, and asked someone to open the east door. In this way, when the male guests arrive, they can go directly to the verandah and enter the east side door, and they can reach that place without colliding with the female guests.
When the women saw this, they knew that someone was coming. The topic changed to guessing who it was.
After a while, I saw a few figures walking on the verandah. Enter the east side door to reach the other side of the screen.
The big girl Yingxue brought by Jiang Yu today quietly came to Jiang Yu's side and replied in a low voice: "...... The maid was just under the corridor and saw the Hou Ye coming, and he was on the side of the screen at this time. ”
Jiang Yan looked at the folding screen when she heard this, because it was a wooden carved structure, she couldn't see the figure on the other side, and she was very surprised that Huo Nineteen would come. After all, this was a post from the British duchess to the ladies, and before him, no man had been present.
Isn't it...... He didn't worry about her, so he came here? After all, there are no good memories in the British government. And if Huo Shijiu really wanted to protect her, he would never care what others thought of him: whether he was worried about his wife or his wife, he couldn't do without his wife.
Jiang Wei lowered her eyes, she was in a good mood, and she forgot about the unpleasantness of Fang Cai all of a sudden.
Except for the British Duchess and the eldest lady and the second lady beside her, others naturally don't know who is coming.
Song Keer glared at Jiang Wei angrily, always feeling that if she successfully exposed the topic, it would be cheaper for this shrew, and it was not her who wanted to discredit her, but Jiang Wei did it herself, of course, she couldn't blame her.
It was Song Keer who simply found a seat opposite Jiang Yu and sat down, and talked with the two familiar ladies beside her, and the topic went around and around, and then went around to the fire in Kyoto City a few days ago. Because the two ladies were unwilling to offend Jiang Wei, their voices were very soft when they spoke, only Song Keer's voice was crisp and loud, and she talked eloquently.
“…… If the fire really burned down the houses, didn't it make the people cry and didn't go out to cry? Even if there is a deep hatred, the daughter will not change to do such an excessive thing to the old father. ”
"If I were her, I would not come out of my house...... It's just that she's used to it like this, and I'm afraid I don't know what shameful etiquette is......"
Jiang Wei was eating tea, Song Ke'er was already crackling and pouring beans, and she counted Jiang Wei without naming her name, obviously because Fang Cai's two sentences of quarrel did not prevail and she was unwilling.
The gossip enthusiasm that the noblewomen's daughters had just extinguished was once again ignited by Song Ke'er, and the voice of gossip in the hall was obviously weakened, and Song Ke'er's crisp voice became even fresher: "I don't know how she did it, she was so cheeky...... You don't have to say that I said too much, and I didn't say who it was, and whoever was shocked said was who......"
The faces of the four "goddaughters-in-law" beside Jiang Yan were already black to the bottom of the pot, and they were about to sneer at each other, when they suddenly heard a cold and clear male voice on the other side of the screen: "...... Since Grandpa Guo said so, Mo Dye, you find two servant women, go and throw the long-tongued woman who chews her tongue out for me. ”
Immediately, I saw a delicate face in a light gray robe come out of the screen, walked straight to the British duchess without squinting, and arched his hand: "Back to the old lady, please also ask your old mothers to help." This is what Hou Ye meant. ”
The British Duchess's face was pale, and she looked at Song Keer, who had stopped talking, her face was stiff, and she said in a deep voice: "This is a banquet organized by the old body, and the guests present are the old guests, I am afraid that this kind of practice is not appropriate, and besides, it is not good for the Marquis of Jinning to tear his face with the Marquis of Xinchang, right?" ”
Cao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "It turned out that the female relatives of the Marquis of Xinchang were talking so rampantly?" My Hou Ye and Xinchang Hou are New Year's friends, and on such an important occasion, the behavior of talking loudly and ignoring the door style was stopped by my Hou Ye, and I think Xinchang Hou will also understand. ”
The British Duchess's eyes were cold: "I didn't expect that the people around Jin Ninghou would be so eloquent." ”
"The old lady is overrated." Cao Yu gave up his hand indifferently and said, "Grandpa Guo means to dispose of it with the Hou Ye, old lady, don't delay time." ”
The British Duke was on the other side of the screen, and if there were any objections, he would have raised them a long time ago, and he did not speak at this time, clearly conniving at the development of this matter.
The British Duchess felt extremely aggrieved, but she couldn't disobey the British Duke's will, so she had to say: "Okay then." He glanced back at the old mother who was following him.
Cao Yu was about to walk back to the screen.
That is the old mother is the companion of the British duchess, and her husband's surname is Mei, so everyone now calls her Mama Mei, and she is extremely faceless among the descendants of the British Mansion.
When she arrived at Song Ke'er's side, Mama Mei said politely: "Miss Song, you also heard, the old slave arranged for someone to send you home." ”
Song Ke'er's face was blue and white for a while, how could she think that the person who just came to the screen was Huo Nineteen, and Huo Nineteen actually wanted to drive her away?
She bit her lip, didn't move, and said stubbornly: "Could it be that the law of the Dayan Dynasty prohibits people from chatting, and the British duchess holds a banquet, so naturally invite all the ladies and ladies to get together and talk freely." I'm not talking about rumors, I'm telling the truth, is that shrew's reputation only today? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a chuckle from the other side of the screen.
All the women looked in the direction of the screen, and saw a handsome man in a snow-collared snowcoat with a silver gray fur slowly walking out of the screen and standing next to the screen, followed by a handsome scholar.
"Girl, come here." Huo Shijiu stretched out his hand to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yu put down the teacup and walked towards Huo Nineteen with a smile. Place your hand in his palm.
The four maids of Bing Pine and Luo Rui came to salute as they approached. Huo Nineteen gave Bing Song a look.
Bingsong immediately understood, and went to fetch Jiang Yan's scarlet and white fox style coat and put it on for her.
Huo Jiujiu helped Jiang Yu tie the ribbon on her neckline, then took her hand and said, "Someone here is upsetting you, let's stop playing, go home." ”
A sentence of going home, said extremely gently.
obviously didn't speak loudly, and didn't insist that Song Keer be sent back to the Marquis of Xinchang, but being so domineering and ignoring the feelings of others really made the women present envious, jealous and hateful.
Jiang Wei's smile widened and she smiled, "Okay, go home." ”
Huo Jiu took her hand and walked to the side door, and the four maids naturally followed.
People were still in a daze, and they couldn't imagine that Huo Shijiu really said that he would leave, even if it was a banquet in the British Mansion, it didn't save face.
The English duchess's hand was clenched into a fist, and the ring was already hurting her finger.
The rest of the people were different from men and women, and because they were afraid of Huo Nineteen, no one dared to speak out to stop them.
Seeing that the two figures, one red and one silver and one gray, were about to descend from the Danqi, the British Duke stepped forward and said with a smile: "Marquis Jinning, stay here." ”
Huo Shijiu turned around, still holding Jiang Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, today is in the middle of the road, but the concubine is the meat on the tip of my heart, I am reluctant to say a heavy word, others bully her like this, I can't bear it, you also know my temperament, if it weren't for your mansion today, I respect you and the old lady, I don't dare to make a mistake, I dare to say that the person who is right and wrong would have picked her tongue." ”
Arrogant!
And all the ladies of the house came to the door.
But seeing the handsome and elegant man with a smile on his face and saying these arrogant words, they couldn't hate it.
The British Duke was even more unexpected, and said with a smile: "In the end, we are not considerate, if the Marquis of Jinning takes his wife back like this, wouldn't it be too wronged for you." Besides, the fault today is indeed not Mrs. Jinninghou. He turned around and ordered: "Come on, send Miss Song back." (To be continued......)
