Chapter 29: Watching the Theater
Qu Miaoling couldn't help but say to the Wen family: "Mother, your mother clan is still full of confidence, I don't know if you can even afford to enter the house three times?" β
Wen's face stiffened when he was questioned, and he almost didn't recover, Wu Dehou frowned, "Today is a good day for the old man, don't make me unhappy." β
At this moment, Wen Mansion's eldest son, that is, Wen Rou's eldest brother, Wen Qingqian's father Wen Hongzhi came to meet him, and when he saw Wen and the second daughter, he couldn't help laughing, "Master Hou, sister, county lord, you are here!" The old man has been talking about this! β
Qu Miaoling smiled lightly, Wen Qingqian saw that his parents ignored him, and he was in a hurry, "Dad, didn't grandpa miss me?" β
Wen Qingqian, who was anxious, was glared at by his father, "Adults talk, children don't interject!" β
Wen Qing pouted shallowly.
Qu Miaoling said: "Uncle Wen, Qingqian has been in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and it is normal to be homesick, otherwise it will ......."
Wen hurriedly interrupted, "Master Hou, eldest brother, let's hurry into the mansion, don't delay other guests." β
Wen Hong heard this and hurriedly beckoned people in.
In fact, what Qu Miaoling wanted to say, she was clear in her heart, and the Hou Ye didn't like Wen Qingqian, if Qu Miaoling really said it, it is estimated that Wen Qingqian would not even have a chance to return to the Hou Mansion today.
Wen Rou would never allow such a thing to happen, so she interrupted Qu Miaoling and relieved Wen Qingqian.
Entering the courtyard, Wen Qingqian was called away by his father to exchange feelings, and the rest of the people sat down in the courtyard and watched the play on the stage, while the female dependents sat alone at a table.
At this time, the banquet of Wenfu had not yet opened, only a few guests were there, and it didn't take long for a large wave of people to arrive, and the small courtyard of Sanjin was crowded, so that Wen Qingqian couldn't help frowning.
Accustomed to the big mansion of the Hou Mansion, she is a little unsightly in such a small place.
"Dad, why did you murder me just now!" Wen Qingqian did not follow the words.
"Dad is not for your good, I don't think the relationship between the county lord and you is not very good, and you offended people in the Hou Mansion?"
"How can I have, it's clear that Qu Miaoling doesn't know what to do, and she wants to go against me, and I let her go several times!" Wen Qingqian thought that his father would feel sorry for him, but Wen Hongyi threw his sleeves and blurted out "Confused!" β
Wen Qingqian was stunned by the scolding, and muttered in disbelief: "Dad, how are you!" β
"Qingqian, have you forgotten what Daddy told you before leaving? How difficult is it for your aunt to fight alone in the Hou Mansion, and my father asked you to help your aunt and help our family, but what about you? Try to be petty! β
"Daddy, it's not me who makes me petty, that Qu Miaoling is rampant and domineering in the house, even my aunt has to give three points to her and be kind and polite, how dare I offend her! I'm thankful she doesn't find fault with me! β
"Oh? What's going on? β
General Wen Qingqian told the story of what happened in the mansion, and when he heard this, Wen Hongzhi suddenly became angry.
But soon he suppressed it, and then sighed, "Qingqian, this is power, Qu Miaoling has the title of county lord, and he is deeply loved by the emperor, this is capital, what do our Wen family use to fight with others!" β
But Wen Qingqian didn't believe in this evil, "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely trample that Qu Miaoling under my feet, so that our Wen family will soar." β
Wen Hongzhi patted his daughter on the shoulder, "This is Daddy's good daughter!" β
"Alright, the banquet will start soon, the guests are almost there, and Daddy should go back to the front yard."
Wen Qingqian followed her father back, but as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, the whispers of the guests reached her ears.
"What's going on with this article, I don't know how many pounds and taels I weigh?"
"Who said it wasn't, and wearing the same style of clothes as the county lord, it really made people laugh off their big teeth!"
"Haven't you heard, the last palace banquet was a shallow and dead-faced follow-up, do you know the result? She didn't even have good clothes, she went in plain white clothes, and I laughed to death! β
Their words insulted this article, but Qu Miaoling's side was full of praise.
"County Lord, your red dress matches your temperament very well, it's just like tailor-made for you!"
"County Lord, where did you buy this shirt, I wonder if the folk girl can buy something else?"
Looking at this contrast, Wen Qingqian's teeth clenched, and a pair of eyes burst out with strong hatred.
But she still gritted her teeth and sat down, although the discussion around her became louder and louder, she could even hear the heart-piercing remarks of "It's not just a sparrow, pretending to be a phoenix".
The fingers hanging from her knees tightened, and she controlled herself to lower her head, trying to close her hearing organs, but it was all in vain.
The voices of those people are getting louder and louder.
"I don't think this county lord talks much to the Wen family!"
"In the past, the county lord has always been raised in the emperor's own village, and she was raised by Mrs. An of the Jingkang Hou Mansion, do you say, will her relationship with the Wen family be good?"
"I also heard that the county lord's mother, Huiling, died less than a year ago, and the Wen family entered the mansion, I don't know what pickling methods were used."
"And this article is shallow, it's not that there is no father, go to the Hou Mansion to join in the fun, today I still wear the same clothes as others, it's not who is ugly and who is ashamed!"
"No face and no skin."
All kinds of unbearable words smashed into Wen Qingqian's body, and her fists clenched even tighter.
"This genuine lord of the Hou Mansion is back, what is she still doing in the Hou Mansion, don't use the relationship of her aunt to marry her little cousin! Hahahaha! β
Laughter erupted.
Wen Qingqian almost wanted to explode, but at this moment, Wen Hongzhi passed by and touched his daughter, Wen Qingqian came back to his senses in an instant, and then saw that a table of people were looking at her, including Qu Miaoling, she suddenly died down and honestly watched the play on the stage.
On the stage, he was singing, "The most conscientious little sister is the one who robbed my father and didn't repent!" β
When this sentence came into her ears, Wen Qingqian immediately almost got into the hole in shame, and the eyes of the whole table looked at her, and she couldn't raise her head in embarrassment.
Qu Miao was also looking at Wen Qingqian, she didn't care about the discussions of others, and she could see the criticism of others, and when she saw Wen Qingqian's reaction, she still couldn't help but admire in her heart.
At a young age, she was able to endure so far, and she was able to snatch Situ Huaibo away later, and even sit on the queen's seat, probably because of this heart.
It's a pity that she was young at the time, and she didn't see the hidden wolf ambition under Wen Qing's shallow and weak skin.
Why didn't she want to think about it, with an aunt like Wen's, Wen Qingqian would grow into a straight seedling through her ears and eyes?
But now, she has seen Wen Qingqian's true face, and she will never let her succeed again!
Qu Miaoling's eyes flashed, and then he stayed on the opera on the stage.
Her eyes didn't move, but her mind was thinking about everything related to Wenfu.
She still remembers that when Wen Qingqian entered the mansion, she was under the banner of poor little Baihua.
At that time, Wu Dehou was there, Wen Shi and the old lady were there, Wen Qingqian was sent by his father Wen Hongzhi, she was crying, looking weak and pitiful.
"Master Hou, the old lady Qingqian really has no choice, so she came to take refuge with her aunt, Qingqian's stepmother has a pungent temperament, and her mother's family is powerful, she can't tolerate Qingqian at all, Qingqian is under her hands, she either lets Qingqian work, or finds an excuse to punish Qingqian, Qingqian really doesn't want to spend that kind of day, and asks Master Hou and the old lady to take it in!"
After speaking, Wen Qingqian cried more sincerely.
In order to successfully send his daughter to Wude Houfu, Wen Hongyi gritted his teeth and fought hard, and he threw off his robe and knelt down directly.
"Master Hou, please, let Qingqian live in the mansion temporarily, with his sister taking care of him, Hongzhi can rest assured." After speaking, Wen Hongzhi gave Wu Dehou a gesture, which was extremely sincere.
The old lady worships the Buddha all the year round and is a kind-hearted person, so she quickly agreed to Wen Hongzhi's request.
Wen Rou also pretended to say: "Brother, although my sister is the head of the Hou Mansion, but after all, Qing Qian is not a member of the Qu family, if there is anything wrong with living in the Hou Mansionββ"
"It's definitely not to blame the head of the Hou Mansion, all the matters are borne by Qingqian."
As a result, Wen Qingqian successfully lived in the Hou Mansion and moved into Wei'an Courtyard, and from time to time he went to the old lady to brush his sense of existence, and successfully coaxed the old lady to smile.
In her previous life, the old lady was coaxed by Wen Qingqian, but she avoided her own granddaughter, she wanted to be close, but she was always turned away, and Wen Qingqian's meaningless comfort always came in her ears.
Every time she said that she would help her persuade her grandmother, her grandmother would immediately send someone to Xingshi to ask her guilt, saying that she was a bully and did not look like a lady.
She was very aggrieved, and her tears fell a lot, and she couldn't understand why this was happening.
Now that she knows, Wen Qingqian must not have said anything good, so she may not know how to bury her!
The memory returned, Qu Miaoling looked at Wen Hongzhi, a man who was more scheming than Wen Qingqian.
In her previous life, she heard that this Wen Hongzhi was very slippery in officialdom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is at ease.
From a small seven-rank compilation to the position of the prime minister of the first grade, it can be seen how deep his mind is, how ruthless his methods are, and I don't know how much pickled and bloody there is still hidden on his way to promotion.
In her previous life, she only knew that Wen Hongzhi and Situ Huaibo had a close relationship, but she never thought that the two of them would be the same dog.
But now she understands that the reason why Wen Qingqian was able to become the queen is that Wen Hongzhi should be indispensable.
Qu Miaoling sneered.
No matter what kind of scenery he has in the future, he is only a petty official now, but his wife is a ruthless character, who can scatter Wen Qing Qianzhi's crying and running away, such a woman, she wants to see it.
If Wen Hongzhi's calculation is just the driving force to help him Qingyun Road, then his wife Wang's boost is the most critical magic weapon.
Wang's scheming is deep, but he was born in a scholarly family and has a lot of family relationships, which makes Wen Hongzhi rise step by step.
The Wang family didn't mind Wen Hongzhi's ex-wife, but he had a grudge against his ex-wife's remaining child, that is, Wen Qingqian, and couldn't tolerate it at all, so there was a later thing about Wen Qingqian going to the Hou Mansion to live temporarily.
