Chapter Ninety-Four: Old Lady Ning
Suddenly, Shao Yunqing seemed to remember something, and quipped: "That's right." This time, it seems that I heard that it is not only for Mrs. Ning's 80th birthday, but Mrs. Ning is also worried about your marriage. ”
At the mention of marriage, the Chang sisters all blushed and glared at Shao Yunqing, as if complaining about why she said such things.
Xin Yan said: "What's there to be ashamed of about this kind of thing, you are about the same age now." ”
Hearing Xin Yan say this, the three of them all rolled their eyes.
The one who is least qualified to say this here is Xin Yan. Because among them, the oldest is Xin Yan. But she hasn't said anything about her family yet. Now from her mouth, it is said that the two Chang sisters are talking about family affairs at this age, how strange it sounds.
However, there are several other people who are thin-skinned about feelings, and they are very good at talking about this kind of thing. Moreover, they also know that Xin Yan's parents died when he was a child.
Listen to her, now she is the only one in the family. Even if Xin Yan is very powerful, there is no way for her to deal with this kind of thing by herself. So now they are understandable.
Thinking of this, they all felt sorry for Xin Yan.
Xin Yan didn't expect that his casual words would make them have a bitter drama in their brains.
But in fact, Xin Yan really didn't have the heart to think about this.
Although he has lived in Dajin for so long, Xin Yan does not feel that all his thoughts are the same as those of people now. After all, he has undergone the baptism of modern thought, and Xin Yan still can't accept some feudal ideas in ancient times.
Soon, the maid came to pass the word.
"Miss, Madame asked Madame to go to the garden, and the Mademoiselles of the provinces have already arrived."
The four of them got up and went to the hall of the Hou Mansion......
It is said that three women are in one play, and now there are a lot of women here, and there will inevitably be some gossip.
"I heard that the queen's newly crowned righteous daughter is also here, but I don't know that girl will be there." A lady wondered.
"I watched from afar at the dinner party before, this Xin girl really has an inside-out temperament, and she really has something extraordinary." That's a sycophant.
"But he's just a businessman, and he smells of copper. I don't know what means were used to let the queen mother accept her as a righteous daughter. ”
The people in this are divided into several ideas for Xin Yan.
Some naturally show favor to Xin Yan, so as to climb the queen; Some of them looked down on her from beginning to end, and they couldn't get used to a businessman being able to become the queen's daughter, and they were sarcastic.
And then there is the wait-and-see attitude. Naturally, these people are also to further understand Xin Yan's position in the minds of Emperor Chengwu and the empress.
But among those people, there are naturally some who can't hold their breath, but for others, they are happy to see it.
"If she doesn't have any ability at all, how can she make the queen mother look up to her?" When everyone heard this, they also felt justified. After all, when Xin Yan moved into the mansion, the queen mother personally rewarded a lot of things.
After all, those who speak harshly are just jealous. After all, throughout the ages, there are very few people who can be regarded as righteous daughters by the queen!
If there is such an opportunity, they feel that no matter what they give, it is worth it. In this way, for Xin Yan, who wants to have an identity and no identity, and wants power and no power, how to look at it is not pleasing to the eye.
Why should a woman who shows her face all day long, or a businessman with a copper smell all over her body, be appreciated by the empress and Emperor Chengwu, this is not fair at all.
That person still wanted to refute, but he heard the next person come to report that the Chang sisters and Xin Yan had come over. Everyone present was silent, no matter what Xin Yan thought in their hearts, but now Xin Yan is still the righteous daughter in the name of the queen, and she still has to maintain respect on the surface. This is not a face for Xin Yan, but an expression of respect for the empress and Emperor Chengwu.
As soon as Xin Yan appeared, he attracted the attention of most of the people present. It's not that the young ladies in each province are inferior, but a temperament from the inside out, which makes her stand out among many gorgeous girls.
Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons!
If you don't know Xin Yan's true identity as a businessman, everyone present is afraid that she will think that she is a lady. Her words and deeds, and her posture make everyone can't help but shout hello when they see it, even if she has been educated by her mother since she was a child, she is completely incomparable in front of her.
This kind of posture is self-confidence and naturalness that emanates from within. Let them think that she should be like this.
Obviously, the makeup does not pursue thick ink, but the skin is white and beautiful, and the curved willow eyebrows make her a little more beautiful. There is a step on the tip of the hair, dancing with the wind between walks, and three thousand green silks are scattered into a waterfall, a good hibiscus out of the water.
Her dress is plain here. Everyone who attends this kind of banquet will always show their best and most beautiful side in front of everyone. However, Xin Yan's appearance as if he was without makeup attracted more people's attention.
Those girls who were competing for beauty, on the one hand, were attracted by Xin Yan's temperament, but on the other hand, they secretly hated in their hearts, and couldn't stop scolding Xin Yan several times.
For no other reason, a woman who loves beauty always wants to be the most unique and beautiful of them all.
The appearance of Xin Yan shattered their self-confidence and self-esteem, so that they could not help but recognize the reality.
However, no matter how jealous they were, they still didn't dare to show their emotions.
Although Mrs. Ning is already eighty years old, she is in good spirits and her eyes are shrewd.
Xin Yan could see at a glance that Old Madam Ning should also be very heroic when she was young.
This is indeed the case. Before Mrs. Ning married the old Marquis Ning Yuan, she was also a tiger girl. She also fought with his father, and when she was young, she was also very famous.
When she married Lao Ning Yuanhou, everyone also looked at her jokes again.
A woman who followed her father to the battlefield was in the company of swords and guns all day long, where did she know how to manage the affairs of the house, how could she be a good housewife.
However, soon, she slapped the faces of those who watched the excitement, and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was not a mess in her hands, but it was neat. She can not only go to the battlefield and kill the enemy; It is even more able to get down to the hall and afford the account book.
But Xin Yan saw that it was more suitable for her than to face a house affair in the backyard or fight the enemy on the battlefield.
Old Madam Ning was very alert, and immediately found the gaze that stayed on her.
Xin Yan saw that Mrs. Ning looked at her, and she didn't have the kind of weakness that was caught, but accepted it calmly, smiled at Mrs. Ning, and released her kindness.
Old Madam Ning was also a shrewd person, and she immediately found that Xin Yan did not have any bad intentions towards her. It is natural to overlap Xin Yan with the woman that his son said.
No wonder even the son, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, is full of praise when he mentions this woman.
Old Madam Ning is still very confident in her gaze......
even remembered the birthday gift given to her by this woman Tuo Changruan, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
She is old after all, although she is in good health compared to people of the same age. However, it is inevitable that some problems will arise. For example, insomnia.
Over the years, the insomnia has become more and more severe, and sometimes I have to lie in bed for a long time to fall asleep, or even can't sleep all night.
Elderly people, once they don't get enough sleep, their bodies are even more unbearable after a long time.
But I also asked the doctor and took medicine, but it didn't get better. I tried all kinds of home remedies, but it became more and more serious.
It just so happened that what Xin Yan sent this time was a method that can treat insomnia. It's not a complicated thing, it's some aromatherapy and a set of massage techniques.
Although it was not a precious thing, they saw their hearts in it. If you weren't a person with a heart, how would you know about her insomnia.
Even Chang Ruan said it, she just said it in front of her, but she didn't expect Xin Yan to remember it. I didn't expect Xin Yan to send such a method.
Miraculously, she followed Xin Yan's method, but in just half a month, her insomnia improved. What an unexpected surprise!
Xin Yan released such a great kindness to the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion of Ning Yuan naturally saw it in his eyes, and the Hou Mansion and Xin Yan had already established a connection......
If you want to say whose birthday gift Mrs. Ning likes the most, the first one is Xin Yan. It's just that there are so many guests nowadays that I can't say a lot of words.
"That's a girl, right?"
Old Madam Ning beckoned to Xin Yan, and Xin Yan got up when she heard this.
walked up to Old Madam Ning and saluted.
Although Xin Yan is now nominally the queen's daughter, she has no title, and all the people present are official dependents, and they have to salute no matter who they meet. It's just that she also has that name, unless it's a lady with a command, and others don't have to salute.
Old Madam Ning was given a decree when she was young, but her edict was real and earned by herself. Compared with other orders obtained because of her husband, the gold content of this one is heavy.
Old Madam Ning beckoned: "Good boy, come here." ”
Xin Yan took a few steps forward, so that Old Madam Ning could see more clearly.
Old Madam Ning said with great satisfaction: "Good boy, hard work." I always heard about you in Ruan Yatou, and even Nuan Yatou rushed to find you all day long. ”
In the first half of this sentence, Xin Yan knew that what Mrs. Ning said was true, but in the second half, Xin Yan thought, Chang Nuan was afraid that he was not going to her, but wanted to go out of the house.
How to say it, at this point, Chang Ruan and Wei Xiaochun are exactly the same.
"Yes, no. I should have come to visit the old lady a long time ago. It's just that I just came to Gyeonggi Fuzhong and has a lot of affairs, so I can't leave for a while. ”
Old Madam Ning patted her hand: "You have worked hard all these years, and you will be fine in the future." That's true. As for Xin Yan's origin, Mrs. Ning is also very clear, when she hears about Xin Yan, what she sees is not her success, but that she must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years.
Xin Yan wrote lightly: "Old Mrs. Xie has pity. ”
Both of them are up to the point, although these words sound like ordinary greetings, but in the eyes of outsiders, the intimacy between this Xin Yan and Mrs. Ning is visible.
This made the little Jiujiu in the hearts of many people present surge.
