Chapter 391: Self-righteousness
During the Chinese New Year, the General's Mansion is very lively. People come and go to congratulate them. There was a great joy in the three-year filial piety period, and naturally many people came to cheer.
doesn't look at the status of General Chang before, but also for the sake of the dragon in Concubine Lan's belly, look down and don't look up, no one wants to have a share with the general's mansion because of this.
Lin Zhu sometimes comes out to entertain some female guests. There are no female elders in the General's Mansion, so Lin Zhu is needed to come forward at this time.
Advancing and retreating appropriately is the evaluation given to her by all the ladies and ladies who have been in contact with Lin Zhu. There is no humility of the countrymen, nor the feeling of a nouveau riche who has risen sharply after becoming Miss Sun of the General's Mansion, his manners are elegant and he talks appropriately, even the ladies who come with critical eyes have to admit that Lin Zhu's rules and etiquette are really good.
Everyone secretly felt that it was worthy of being in the palace for so long with Concubine Lan, it was indeed not simple.
It's no wonder that others think this way. Most of the people who come to the General's Mansion are either rich or noble, and the ladies in the family are not without the opportunity to go around the palace. It's just that at the foot of the heavenly family, I will always be nervous or afraid, and I am cautious for fear that something will go wrong.
Once you are cautious, people will not look so generous, and it is inevitable that people will not like it when they act, so many people will not stay in the palace for long.
And Lin Zhu entered the palace twice, and was left behind both times, and some nobles in the capital were jealous and very envious at the same time.
"It's better to be famous than to meet, Miss Zhu is really generous and decent." A lady squire discussed with the people around her. "Where is she like the one out there." The last sentence was so quiet that it was almost inaudible.
"Yes." The people next to him should also be in tune. However, they only talked about it privately, but they didn't dare to bring it up openly. After all, not far from them, Princess Qing was sitting there. The face was gloomy and terrible, this was not like he was here to congratulate, but like he was here to seek revenge.
The more Lin Zhu behaved like a lady, the more Princess Qing felt angry. I hadn't seen Lin Zhu before, and I had only heard some rumors about her, plus Lin Zhu's identity, so Princess Qing looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.
It is rumored that Mu Qiyue is going to marry her as his wife, where will Princess Qing give Lin Zhu a good face, this time it is also for the sake of General Chang's face.
A handkerchief was clenched tightly in his hand. The force was so great that it almost tore it apart. "Hmph. Pretending. I really think that I am the daughter of a nobleman, is the identity of a noble girl in the capital so worthless? Princess Qing snorted secretly. In and out of the words, he looked down on Lin Zhu's background. The people next to him also knew about the rumors, and when they saw Princess Qing like this, except for those who deliberately scolded her. Others are shunned. After all, no one wants to offend the General's Mansion on such an occasion.
And when Lin Zhu came over to meet Princess Qing. She also held her head high and looked like her nostrils were facing the sky. is also disdainful of Lin Zhu's salute.
Lin Zhu just smiled and didn't care about Princess Qing's cold reception. She had already learned from Mu Qiyue's mouth. Princess Qing didn't like his son, and she didn't like the wife he was looking for.
Therefore, even if the matter between Lin Zhu and Mu Qiyue is really settled in the future, Princess Qing will still not give Lin Zhu a good face. This point was also confirmed by Princess Changmin, so Lin Zhu was still mentally prepared.
However, this time Princess Qing went to the General's Mansion because of Chang Tianlei's family affairs, and Lin Zhu still showed the identity of the master and treated her politely. How Princess Qing behaves is not something she can control, as long as she doesn't make a mistake, she can't say anything.
But the more polite Lin Zhu is, the more uncomfortable Princess Qing is, she can't find her fault, there is no way to target her, if she scolds Lin Zhu according to her own temperament, this kind of behavior of slapping General Chang's face will not bring her any good results. Therefore, Princess Qing, who had the upper hand for the time being, held her breath for a while, but she couldn't come out.
"Girl, Princess Qing's face is about to drip water." Aunt Chang secretly laughed with Lin Zhu.
"Don't pay attention to her, just be polite, anyway, her matter will be solved by Mu Si." Mu Qiyue has reached the point where he can't bear it anymore, if Princess Qing has any more demon moths, it is difficult to guarantee that he will do something to hurt King Qing's mansion.
Although from Mu Qiyue's standpoint, even if he demolished the Qingwang Mansion, it would be forgivable, but the worldly vision would make it difficult for him to do it, so Lin Zhu tried not to stimulate the people in the Qingwang Mansion, just because he didn't want Mu Qiyue to bear a bad reputation.
However, obviously some people regard Lin Zhu's forbearance as a weakness of heart, and Princess Qing's arrogance is even more arrogant, thinking that she has taken Lin Zhu's handle, but she feels very relieved in her heart.
"Hmph, even if that cheap girl knows each other, she is still a little self-aware." Lin Zhu has always arranged the affairs of his wife's side in an orderly manner, and of course he has always been polite to Princess Qing, but she regarded it as a flattery.
If Lin Zhu knew that Princess Daoqing thought so, she would definitely shake her head and stay away from her.
In order to make the guests return satisfied, Lin Zhu also tried his best to arrange for people to take care of those ladies and ladies from time to time, and also pay attention to whether General Chang would need something. Therefore, during this period of the Chinese New Year, Lin Zhu is the busiest in the General's Mansion.
The outside world has new rumors about her, but Lin Zhu knows nothing. I didn't say anything to clarify, and I didn't get angry because of it.
On the contrary, it was the people who spread these rumors in the first place who were very depressed. Their goal has not been achieved, and their mood is really not good.
When Lin Zhu knew the new rumors about himself, it was already a month later, and the year had already passed. And I learned it from Concubine Lan's mouth.
"It is said outside that in order to enter the Qing Palace, you are very stubborn to Princess Qing." Concubine Lan leaned on the couch, massaged her calves by the palace maids, and talked to Lin Zhu.
"It's all nonsense." Lin Zhu shook his head calmly, "When Princess Qing came to the General's Mansion, her niece was just a landlord. It seems that some people are self-inflicted. ”
"Huh." When Concubine Lan heard her say this, she couldn't help but chuckle, her cheap niece's mouth is really unforgiving, if Princess Qing hears it, she won't be mad.
"Although Mu Si has a dislike with the people of Qingwangfu, you must not manipulate his relationship with Qingwangfu." Concubine Lan admonished.
"Yes, niece Zhilu." No matter how his biological parents are, in this era of filial piety, I can't say how the relationship between them will change. It's better to have less to do yourself.
"Auntie, has the little prince ever moved inside?" It's been almost five months, and Lin Zhu is a little curious.
"I felt a little bit of movement a few days ago." Concubine Lan was in a good mood, and when she mentioned the child in her belly, she was full of smiles.
"Now where do you know whether it is a man or a woman, and you are not afraid of outsiders laughing at it." Although Lin Zhu said that it was the little prince who made her happy, she still had to take care of outsiders, lest she say that they were too rampant because of pregnancy.
"Hehe, that's not what I said." Lin Zhu smiled and shook his head. "Fu Dou'er, that little guy has been talking about his little brother and little brother since he knew that you were pregnant."
It is said that children look at pregnant people, and what they say is the most accurate, as soon as Lin Zhu said this, Concubine Lan was also a little concerned.
Originally, it was a man and a woman, and she felt that it was a gift from God. However, for the women of the harem, who doesn't want a prince by their side? Even if you can't be the person on the dragon throne, it's good to be a prince.
"It's just a fairy tale." Concubine Lan glanced at Lin Zhu. Signaling that this kind of thing can no longer be said again.
Lin Zhu immediately understood, if the word spreads, Concubine Lan Niangniang might be in danger here. But not everyone wants Concubine Lan to have a son like her.
"How is Tianlei's family preparation?" Concubine Lan asked with concern, although she couldn't go to congratulate her nephew in person, she still kept an eye on the development of his family.
"It's almost, the yard has been remodeled. Everything that should be arranged has been arranged. Just waiting for the good days to come. Lin Zhu is also very much looking forward to this, she has not seen the process of marriage in ancient times, she can just watch it up close, she doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.
"Miss Dong is a good person, but her father is really unbearable." Even Concubine Lan Niangniang knows what Dong Jisheng did, and it is conceivable that the emperor must also know what he did.
"It's just a moment of confusion, Mrs. Lin will look at it." Regarding Dong Jisheng's matter, Lin Zhu didn't want to say more, lest Concubine Lan have dissatisfied opinions with Dong Yuzhen.
"That person from the Lin family, I've seen it in this palace before, he has been a strong person since he was a child, but he was from a lower background, and he was wronged by Mrs. Lin marrying someone like that." Concubine Lan is a little younger than Mrs. Lin, but she also belongs to the same generation. Naturally, I know something about her.
"When the eldest son of Dong comes out, Mrs. Lin can raise her eyebrows." Lin Zhu heard that Dong Wenbo's studies had improved a lot. I am very confident about the upcoming imperial examinations.
When Concubine Lan heard this, she just smiled and didn't speak. First, she is not too familiar with Mrs. Lin, and second, some things are best in moderation.
"Over there in the bamboo garden, I heard that fresh strawberries are going to be delivered." Since the off-season vegetables in the hot springs of Zhuyuan have grown, Concubine Lan has been the biggest beneficiary.
"That's really good, I've had such a good appetite lately, and I always want to eat this and that." Concubine Lan felt that saliva was about to come out of her mouth.
"It's a good thing that you eat two people to make up." Of course, Lin Zhu wanted to pick up some words that she liked to hear.
"You, at a young age, know everything, and you're not afraid of outsiders listening to jokes." (To be continued......)
