Because Fang Fei is about to leave the cabinet, she has not been invited today, of course Zhou Xiaoniang was "forgotten" at home by Mrs. Wang, but Fang Lian and Fang Xu sisters both followed Mrs. Li to attend, and just now witnessed their third sister's "theory", slowly said that Fang Lian was frightened, Fang Xu also felt frightened, and after the main banquet, she was finally free to move, and Fang Xu pulled Mrs. Li aside.

"Mother, the third sister really dares to talk today!"

Fang Lian whispered: "Grandmother said that she would treat the third sister as a mortal enemy from now on, and she would definitely not forgive the third sister." ”

Mrs. Li was very calm, and took the opportunity to teach the concubine: "The old lady seems to have never regarded Sanniang as a mortal enemy before, let's talk about Sanniang, when have you and Liuniang been treated as granddaughters by the old lady?" Yes, there is no difference between those who are not related by blood and those who are related by blood, but it is rare in this world to be as over-the-top as the old lady!

You also know that the old lady can wish that Yan Guoshi would abandon your third sister and straighten out the Gao daughter, just have this idea, but the old lady's conspiracy has never been broken, you should only have the eldest lady to put the third lady to death? Therefore, Sanniang dared to say in front of the old lady that she did not regard the surnames of Gao and Wang as her relatives, and Sanniang repaid her kindness and grievances, which is the real world's human feelings.

So, you two learn from Sanniang, you have to have a rod and a scale in your heart, see clearly who is the pro and who is the enemy, don't believe the old lady's etiquette, she is afraid that she thinks that she is better than the Empress Dowager Zhou, let you give the two women surnamed Gao and Wang as slaves and maids as stepping stones, and you can be regarded as looking up to you. ”

Since Qin Ze's marriage turmoil some time ago, although it was not officially announced in the Xiangdi that although Qin Jing was the heir, Qin Mu was the son of the ruling father, but in fact, everyone who should know also knew about it, and this matter was no longer the secret of the Xiangdi, and the reason why it was not officially announced was because of the stubbornness of Mrs. Wang, she was unwilling to admit that Qin Xun and Qin Mu were the biological father and son, which was "the worst thing in life".

Mrs. Wang's attitude towards the second room was even worse, which also caused Qin Yuan and other grandchildren and granddaughters to be more afraid of their grandmothers.

Fang Xu's temperament followed her mother, so she also admired Fang Qi very much: "The third sister is indeed clear in love and hate, don't look at the third sister's powerful mouth, and it is even more bold and simple to take revenge on the enemy, but she is actually very open-minded, and the third sister and the fourth sister have fewer disputes in the past?" The fourth sister often speaks ill of the third sister, but now, the fourth sister is about to be happy, and the third sister's makeup gift to the fourth sister is a set of expensive tea sets.

Grandmother Danfan has a little love for the third sister, and she doesn't think about calculating and framing all day long, which one of the third sisters is better? Earlier, in the Flower Pavilion, the third sister responded to her grandmother's questioning, although I was terrified to hear it, but I was really convinced and convinced. ”

In the past few years, Fang Lian and Fang Xu have actually become more and more intimate, and she even dared to say a direct reminder at this time: "The third sister dares to compete with her grandmother like this, it is because there is a third brother-in-law to maintain it, if you are not as lucky as the third sister, you still dare not disobey your grandmother." ”

Mrs. Li has also been very concerned about Fang Lian's upbringing over the years, and when she heard her say this, she first gave affirmation: "Lian'er is right, this is also the situation of the world, in the final analysis, the etiquette of this world, in fact, has never been completely fair, respect and humility often override good and evil, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

But people's strength depends not only on climbing, if cowardice has penetrated into the bone marrow, just like a dandelion growing on Phoenix Mountain, even in the imperial city, planted on a solid cliff, slow to say that the frost and snow are bullied, and the breeze is a gust of wind, and it is swept away. So, you can't just hope for luck, you have to know how to fight for it. Lian'er, you are a concubine, not like Xu Er, I am pregnant and born in October, you should think that your situation is more difficult, and the future will be more difficult. ”

Seeing that Fang Lian was immediately anxious, but at a loss, Mrs. Li smiled: "Your maternal grandfather is actually also a concubine, but he has never felt unlucky, not because men are different from women, but because although your maternal great-grandmother can't treat everyone equally, she has never been harsh on concubines. So Lian'er, I really should review your worries, it's where my mother-in-law can't get it, I only have one concubine, but I can't make the concubine feel at ease, and I have to be reminded by Sanniang, I paid attention to Lian'er, why are you so cowardly and uneasy, and only believe Liu Xiaoniang's words. ”

Fang Lian is now in her lap.

Unlike three years ago, she has actually developed trust and even admiration for Mrs. Li.

So after a short period of helplessness, she understood Mrs. Li's teachings: "My son and my third sister are both concubines, but the third sister's situation in the past was a hundred times more difficult than my son's, but if it weren't for the help of the third sister, my son would still be cowardly, thinking that only my son was in a shadow...... Mother, my son understands that in life, in fact, no one can be completely free of malice, which has nothing to do with whether it is a concubine or a concubine, and it does not matter which is strong or weaker, but only the strong will face malice, and the weak will only feel sorry for themselves and be willing to be destroyed by malice. ”

As she thought just now, who would be as lucky as the third sister? How many powerful ministers like the third brother-in-law does Wei Guo have?

She didn't think she would be so lucky.

But that's not the case.

She's lucky enough.

She didn't meet the vicious mother-in-law, she didn't have to walk on thin ice at all, even if she suffered from the malice from her grandmother, but what stood in front of her was - her parents, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, grandmothers didn't take her in their eyes at all, and never planned to frame her alone, her biological mother died early, but she actually lived under the protection/umbrella opened by her mother.

And the third sister who once dragged her out of the yin that she thought she had, what did the third sister have at that time?

If she had changed her situation, she would have already been forced by so many maliciously to become the ant that was trampled to death, so there would be no luck at all.

"Fifth sister, then let's go and accompany the third sister today, I guess for a while, grandmother will still wait to pick the third sister."

As soon as Fang Xu said, Fang Lian nodded.

"You two will accompany you, but don't talk much, you can't help your third sister at this time, if you intervene rashly, it may be a bad thing." Mrs. Li did not prevent her two daughters from getting close to Fang Qi, but she didn't seem to have the idea of "helping".

Since Mrs. Wang knew the secret that had been concealed for many years, she still maintained a bit of hypocrisy and hypocrisy towards Qin Mushang, but she could no longer hide her evil voice, in fact, compared to her children, Mrs. Li took on the greatest malice and hatred. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't have to set up a name, as long as they don't beat them, their mother's family often hasn't come forward to defend their position, so Mrs. Li can only grit her teeth and clench her fists to endure those fragmentary insults.

She is seriously tired of Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law, and she has the opportunity to stay away, and today her mother's family is also a guest of the National Teacher's Mansion, and she has been politely entertained with Mrs. Wang just now, and it is reasonable for her son to talk to her mother's family.

The ladies of the Li family, because they felt that they were originally close to the National Teacher's Mansion, and they had the opportunity to go back and forth, so they naturally wouldn't rush to make friends with Fang Qi today, so they didn't stay in the flower hall where Fang Qi was.

This flower hall is called Zhaotang, it is not a single hall, in the middle is a two-storey hall, there are pavilions and pavilions built on the left and right, the verandah is connected, borrowing and falling depend on each other, today there is a long table and a few bars, which can be used for many guests to have a tea party here.

Fang Lian and Fang Xu entered the open hall on the first floor, and saw many boudoir women, some tea, some games, three or five people sitting around and chatting, and more than a dozen people occupying the long table and playing drumming and passing flowers, they did not join, went up to the escalator on the side, and heard a woman's laughter before they reached the open hall upstairs.

In the middle of a horizontal long table, Mrs. Wang sat down as a guest, on her left was Mrs. Xie, on the right was Mrs. Zhenjiang Marquis, who was regarded as a distinguished guest, and Mrs. Zhenjiang was sitting next to Mrs. Zhenjiang Marquis, talking to Princess Huai and Fang Shu.

When Princess Huai saw Fang Lian and Fang Xu coming up, she smiled and beckoned to them, and said to Fang Qi: "I'll go to the flower garden for a walk, and come to see Douyi for a while, and say okay, today's color is up to me and the fourth sister-in-law, and Mrs. Qin is not polite to us anymore." She saw that Fang Shu also wanted to get up and follow, and held her down again: "It's easy for the young lady to get together with the sisters at home, so you don't have to accompany me today, and you can live happily for a day." ”

Princess Huai called Fang Shu "young lady", which shows that the two get along intimately, and Fang Qi is also very friendly to her, and explains to Wu Niangzi: "The crape myrtle downstairs is in full bloom, and there are female actors playing there, Princess Luo was busy watching the show as soon as she heard me say it just now, you served Princess Huai, and you happened to be a companion with Princess Luo, and discussed the color for a while." ”

Waiting for Fang Lian and Fang Xu to come over, the daughters of the Zi Qin family sat in a string of four, and Mrs. Zhenjiang Hou looked at a few of them, and said to Mrs. Wang with a smile: "The old lady is really good at training people, look at these four granddaughters who are like flowers and jade, I feel that I can't take my eyes off." ”

It's a pity that none of these four granddaughters made the old lady look good.

Qin Fangzi was still in Zhaotang just now, but her son didn't know where she went, and Mrs. Wang didn't plan to use the limelight of her second granddaughter to suppress the rest, she responded with a smile at this time: "What kind of blessing am I, I can't compare to my old sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Wang took the hand of Mrs. Xie, the "old sister-in-law".

Many of the ladies present actually heard the news that the Gong and Gao families were about to get married, although they felt that Mrs. Wang was a little proud of her obvious boasting of the Gao family, but it was also a tactful compliment that Mrs. Zhenjiang Hou would have a good daughter-in-law, and it didn't seem too out of line.

I didn't know that I heard Mrs. Wang say next: "Especially Liuniang, when it comes to her talents, these girls in my family are really out of reach." ”

There are several female relatives who have raised their eyebrows.

Gao Liuniang? Is it the Gao Liuniang who is hard entangled to be the concubine of the national teacher? I don't know, but everyone knows it! There is no lady who tosses herself into the Lin'an Mansion and is tortured, how did Mrs. Wang say the words of praise for Gao Liuniang with a clear conscience? !
