Chapter 468: Going to the Banquet
Yan Wu lowered her head and looked at her delicate jade fingers, as if she hadn't heard the words from somewhere, Mrs. Shen said with embarrassment.
"Your Highness, please go inside, Mrs. Ning of Ningfu is sitting in the pavilion inside."
This Mrs. Ning Shao refers to Ning Qing's wife, Liu Tuan.
As soon as the voice was slightly higher, the voice behind it disappeared, Yan Wushuang glanced at Mrs. Shen, and her expression was light: "The Shen family's style is a bit interesting." ”
When she said this, several noble ladies heard it, and for a while, Mrs. Shen only felt some pain in her face, and her face was not showing anything, and she had already scolded her younger siblings to death in her heart.
When Yan Wushuang walked by, he glanced at the two people behind the rockery, both of whom were wearing red shirts and golden hairpins, but they looked delicate, but they looked panicked but resentful, which was really a little hurtful.
When Mrs. Shen accompanied Yan Wushuang over, she glared at the second lady, and then hurriedly followed.
As for the second lady who was being watched and the woman who was called Mrs. Qi, she left with a blushing face.
"That's the brother-in-law of the family, who is not sensible, please don't blame Your Highness." Mrs. Shen already has a bag of words to say to her mother-in-law in her heart, and this time, she must let her brother-in-law have a longer memory.
The family strictly restricts itself, but it is the second room, the trouble has not been broken, and his daughter has a good child, because of this, the marriage is a little reluctant, how can Mrs. Shen not complain.
It's just that my mother-in-law always thinks that my brother-in-law's family is pitiful, and she usually says that her ears are very soft, but this time, she can't do it anymore.
"That's it, it's better to let the less come out after being so ignorant, it doesn't matter if you offend the palace, if you provoke other nobles, your mansion will have to lose a layer of skin."
These words were said lightly, but Mrs. Shen only felt ashamed, this eldest princess Rong'an lived in a simple place, and she had never paid much attention to the banquet in the capital, she was able to come over to add a lot of glory to this banquet, but she was disturbed by her brother and daughter-in-law.
There is a pavilion on the edge of the peach blossom forest, the small bridge flows murmuring, although it is just spring, many branches have not yet spit green, but the peach blossoms blooming on the tree are scorching, and the nobles are more and more delicate.
Liu Tuan was dressed in a light purple palace skirt, wearing a gradient gown of the same color outside, there was only one step on the bun, and his face was lightly rouge, and the paleness that Yan Wushuang had seen before was already yesterday's fireworks.
"Wushuang, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come and sit. Seeing Yan Wushuang's figure, Liu Tuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him, with an obvious smile on his face, and the several ladies who were sitting with her got up.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Without waiting for them to be blessed, Yan Wushuang waved his hand: "Ladies don't have to be polite, the palace is just going to come and go around."
After sitting down again, several ladies surrounded Yan Wushuang and Liu Tuan, and they all spoke with a cordial atmosphere.
"You're willing to do it. If I knew that you were coming, I would have come out earlier, and I like Mrs. Shen's eldest lady very much. ”
Yan Wushuang took Liu Tuan's hand and said this, not forgetting to reply to Mrs. Shen.
Who doesn't have a few bad relatives, if Yan Wushuang said, the Ning family didn't have a mess before, if it wasn't for their own side, those few would still be clothed and fed.
As soon as Mrs. Shen heard this, she let go of her faint apprehension: "The eldest princess who can like it, it's Shuying's honor."
Liu Tuan didn't bring any children today, but Liu Yuan came, but now they are all wandering around in the peach blossom forest.
"I don't think you don't want to go out early, I'm just afraid that the prince of your family is not at ease, right?" Ning Qing is now helping the saint to do things, and some things are also clear, although he can't tell Liu Tuan everything, but it's okay to say some things.
For example, in the past few days, Liu Tuan has known that the king does not need to go to the court.
This teasing look made Yan Wushuang really blush: "What's the matter, he's fine, there are two children at home, it's too young to take it out, and when I come out today, he will take it with me."
"Your Highness is really blessed, we can't touch such a husband." The one who spoke was the wife of an adult in the Ministry of Rites, with a somewhat plump figure and an indifferent expression, obviously a peaceful family.
"Mrs. said that it is very hard for a woman to give birth to a child, if the husband is not considerate, it will be worse, and now all the ladies are talking about family affairs for their daughters, don't they all want to find a good one for their daughter?"
Yan Wushuang's words were unanimously approved by people with daughters, but there are always people who don't think so.
A cold-faced and rigorous, old-fashioned woman spoke: "What His Highness said is reasonable, but women still have to be virtuous, and the most important thing is to spread branches and leaves for their husbands, and only by keeping the backyard in order can life be comfortable."
As soon as these words came out, whether it was flattering or agreeing just now, they were a little silent.
At this time, the tail of the second lady who had just sneaked over and sat on the side cocked: "What Mrs. Liang said is reasonable, a woman should be virtuous, buy a concubine room for her husband, spread out the branches, and take care of the heirs."
This is just talking, but his eyes are still looking straight at Yan Wushuang, and the smile in his eyes is very ill-intentioned.
"Your Highness, you say, is that the truth?"
This is to pull Yan Wushuang out directly, the smile on Mrs. Shen next to her has long been hidden, why is this loser here now.
Yan Wushuang put down the teacup he had just picked up, picked up the handkerchief handed over by Shuangshuang and wiped his hands, the jade fingers without finger covers were slender and slender, his expression was flat, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.
Liu Tuan, who was about to speak, wiped the corners of his mouth, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the peach blossoms blooming on the porcelain cup, feeling particularly exquisite.
"Since the second lady said so, presumably the second master Shen must be extremely comfortable, but I heard that there are already a lot of concubines and concubines, and the second lady Shen has not made any movement, why not give up the position of the master mother, I heard that the eldest son of your family is very well-behaved."
As soon as she said this, the corners of Second Mrs. Shen's mouth twitched, and her face was extremely ugly, these words were simply a fatal blow.
Yan Wu's beautiful eyes swept and looked at Mrs. Liang, as the wife of Yan Guan, Mrs. Liang is really interesting, if it weren't for her parents' orders, I'm afraid they would not be able to be together.
"Mrs. Liang heard that she came from a scholarly family, and she reads poetry and books, and what she can't read is the female commandment, right? Lord Liang is also a person who loves beauty, and the house must be very lively, but this capital is a rich and noble place, and the Liang family is not a rich family, so it costs a lot of money to raise so many beauties, right? ”
At the end, Yan Wu smiled at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were cold, and the words in them meant a lot.
When the atmosphere solidified to the extreme, Yan Wushuang smiled lightly, as if he said casually.
"The husband is considerate, this is a good training in this palace, close the door of the house and live by yourself, and I want you to point fingers, the management is really wider than the saint. Besides, the family of the side by side palace is poor and can't afford to support so many women. ”
"Who doesn't know, the one in your family, the mind is all on you, not to mention, there are two children now, I'm afraid that my mind is firmly occupied, where do I have the heart to see other people."
The one who answered the call was Liu Tuan, although Yan Wushuang had a tender face, but the title of the eldest princess and the honor of the princess were not a joke.
Mrs. Shen gave the maid a look and replied with a smile: "What Mrs. Ning said is that this family is pure, and it is also the deep relationship between the prince and His Royal Highness, and it is too late for others to envy it."
The second Mrs. Shen seemed to be about to speak, but she was pressed down by the maid, as for the stereotypical Mrs. Liang, she was persuaded by the people next to her not to say more, and there was no one who was unhappy, and Yan Wushuang's mood was much better.
Mrs. Shen also had to entertain guests, and Yan Wushuang and Liu Tuan led people around the forest.
"What you said just now is really relieving, before you, that Second Lady Shen coveted the prince for a long time, but at that time, the prince was not in the mood for women, so he stopped one or two."
Liu Tuan is not like Yan Wushuang who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he knows a lot about things outside, especially the twists and turns between the women in the back house.
Yan Wushuang straightened out the cuffs, and the long hem of the slightly long shirt floated behind him, and the plain white was a little more elegant.
"If you don't come to me, I won't say anything, but I can't wait to slap me in the face in front of everyone, how can I still bear it."
Yan Wushuang prides himself on not being a gentle person, let alone a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and dares to come to himself to scream, isn't it specially scolded?
"That Mrs. Liang is obviously moved by people today, this lady has no other problems, but she is too rigid, Lord Liang spoils his concubine and kills his wife, Mrs. Liang is still very satisfied with the things in her own house, but I don't know, there are many jokes."
Whether it is the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Ning family, there is no such situation, in the early years, the Prime Minister actually had a few concubines, but they have been placed in the backyard for many years and have not been ignored, and the Prime Minister's wife has no shortage of food and clothing, and they are also careful.
Therefore, Liu Tuan actually has no brothers and sisters, and his family is clean. The Ning family has this situation, but there is no line of the head of the Ning family, and there are a few concubines but they are all trained by the master mother to be obedient.
As for Ning Qing, there are no connecting rooms in the room, all the servants are small servants, there are no maids, and it is rare for the Ning family to be clean and self-conscious, especially compared to the grandfather of the Ning family.
Marrying the granddaughter of the prime minister, the Ning family is even more cautious about Liu Tuan, Liu Tuan is pregnant late, no one in the house dares to say anything, and Ning Qing is also intimate to Liu Tuan.
Yan Wushuang looked a little indifferent: "That is also a matter of Mrs. Liang's mother's teaching, as for Lord Liang, as a speech official, he belittles this and that in the court, he doesn't look at what he looks like." ”
Yan Wushuang and Liu Tuan walked the trail inside, and there were not many people coming, Yan Wushuang didn't care what other people thought when he spoke, he hadn't been scolded like this for a long time, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Mrs. Liang doesn't have a concubine in her family, but she came to bring a few concubines this time, who are enchanting and charming, and she is not from a serious background at first glance."
