Chapter 411: Wishful thinking
In fact, Mrs. Dongdu Hou is not disobedient and listening.
The main thing is that Mrs. Dongdu Hou didn't think about the matter, and the old lady of Pingguo would reject her.
In the eyes of Mrs. Hou of Dongdu, although Fang Hanniang is the cousin of the Pingguo Mansion, after all, her identity is there, no matter how she says it, Fang Hanniang is just a businessman's daughter, and the difference in family status is not something that can be made up because of what kind of high-ranking family her family is.
In addition, now Fang Hanniang's only Pingguo Mansion that can give her a mention has also suffered a reputation crisis - this crisis is not an ordinary crisis, it is a big crisis related to the reputation of these backhouse women.
Then, it is conceivable that Fang Hanniang, who is not easy to find a good family in the capital, has no market now.
Since you can't be a wife, you naturally want to be a concubine.
Mrs. Hou of the Eastern Capital felt that although their mansion had fallen a little over the years, it was a serious Hou Mansion anyway, and there was a plaque given by the emperor in front of the mansion. Fang Hanniang married into a family like them as a concubine, and when the time came, she directly gave birth to her eldest son, and their Eastern Capital Marquis Mansion would naturally not treat her badly.
Mrs. Dongdu Hou thought left and right, and felt that she personally came to the door to propose marriage today, although she was a concubine, but, firstly, it was enough to give Fang Hanniang face, and secondly, it could be said that she saved Fang Hanniang's marriage from fire and water.
Under such a scenario, how could Mrs. Dongdu Hou think that the old lady of Pingguo would reject her?
Therefore, it is not that Mrs. Dongdu Hou is not obedient and obedient, but she doesn't think about that place at all.
Lord Anping Weng received the wry smile of the old lady of Pingguo, she understood in her heart, cleared her throat, smiled at Mrs. Hou of Dongdu, and said kindly: "It is also her blessing that our Han Niang can have such blue eyes as Mrs. Hou." It's just that Mrs. Hou also knows that Han Niang and her younger siblings have been living abroad for so many years, and now they have just returned home, and our old lady treats the three of them as if they were eyeballs...... Hanniang is only fourteen years old this year, and our old lady still wants to stay with Hanniang for a few more years. ”
This is a very euphemistic refusal.
Mrs. Dongdu Hou didn't know if she heard the meaning of Anping Weng's refusal, she was just shocked by the fact that the old lady of Pingguo would stay with Fang Hanniang for a few more years, her face showed disbelief, and she shouted in a hurry: "This is the New Year soon, and it will be fifteen after the New Year, not small!" Old lady, this daughter's family still has to marry early, but fortunately, her husband's family will gain a firm foothold early. ”
These words were too urgent, and Lord Anping couldn't help frowning secretly with such a good temperament.
The current atmosphere, although it is said that it is early to discuss marriage, but people who really love their daughters will leave their daughters until they are at least sixteen years old before they can marry well. The old lady of Pingguo and the lord of Anping Weng both knew that the eldest son of Mrs. Hou of Dongdu was about to be twenty years old after the New Year, and this was already an older youth, and he must be in a hurry to get married.
Therefore, the lord of Anping Weng rejected Mrs. Dongdu Hou in the name of Fang Hanniang's young age and the old lady of Pingguo to stay for a few more years.
Who knew that this Mrs. Hou of Dongdu was like recognizing Fang Hanniang, and the meaning of her words was that she wanted Fang Hanniang to marry next year.
The old lady of Pingguo was a little unhappy.
She and Lord Anping Weng have already given Mrs. Dongdu Hou enough face in her words, but this Mrs. Dongdu Hou is really too uninteresting, and she faintly reveals a little disrespect for Fang Hanniang, which makes the old lady who regards Fang Hanniang as a treasure of her heart, how can she feel comfortable?
"I still think something is wrong with this family business." The old lady of Pingguo no longer cared about the face of Mrs. Hou of Dongdu, and simply said bluntly, "Although the prince of Dongdu Hou is a dragon and phoenix, I already have a plan in my heart for the family affairs of Han'er, and I am bothered that Mrs. Hou of Dongdu will go on this trip." ”
Mrs. Dongdu Hou was even more shocked than Fang Cai.
She even got up in a gaffe.
Although Mrs. Dongdu Marquis quickly realized her gaffe and sat down hurriedly, the old lady of Pingguo and Lord Anping Weng were already a little dissatisfied with this Mrs. Dongdu Marquis.
"Old lady," Mrs. Dongdu Hou said in a hurry, "I don't know which family you want to marry Han Niang to?" She paused, thinking of what Mrs. Fang Caipingguo said, Fang Hanniang went to visit a relative's house today, and her heart moved, could it be that she was going to see each other?
How can this work? This Fang Hanniang is a girl whose son has already loosened his mouth and wants to be included in the house!
As soon as Mrs. Dongdu Hou was in a hurry, she was a little speechless: "This man and woman can't teach each other privately before marriage." ”
The old lady of Pingguo could no longer maintain the peace on her face, and she changed color.
Lord Anping raised his voice and said solemnly: "Mrs. Hou, be cautious!" ”
Mrs. Dongdu Hou explained a little anxiously: "Old lady, listen to me, I was a little anxious just now, I lost my words...... Han Niang is a very good girl, I really want her to enter the door of my house, I heard that the old lady has a plan in mind, and I remembered that Han Niang went out to visit the door, thinking that I went to see each other......"
This explanation can only barely explain why she said those words, but the contempt for Fang Hanniang in the words is not intended to forgive her.
There was no trace of a smile on the face of the old lady of Pingguo: "Mrs. Marquis of Dongdu, you must know that this disaster comes from the mouth, and today is fortunate to be in our Pingguo Mansion." If you are outside, you say such a thing, have you ever thought about the reputation of our family? It's too sloppy and frivolous! ”
That's a very harsh accusation.
With the rank of the old lady of Pingguo, even if she said harsh words to Mrs. Dongdu Hou, Mrs. Dongdu Hou could only listen honestly.
Mrs. Dongdu Hou was a little sneering: "It's me who wants to fork." ”
Whether it was the old lady of Pingguo or the lord of Anping, they did not answer.
The old lady of Pingguo even picked up the teacup and sipped it gently, and the meaning of serving tea to the guests was obvious.
For a while, the atmosphere in the flower hall of Fuyuan Hall was a little solemn.
Where is Mrs. Dongdu Hou willing to be willing. She cheekily pretended not to see the meaning of the old lady of Pingguo's send-off.
Mrs. Fang Cai Dongdu Hou ran into a wall at the old lady of Pingguo, and then shifted her gaze to the lord of Anping, pulling out a flattering smile, and the smile on her face was a little stiff: "Mrs. Shizi, the old lady hasn't seen my dog for many years." You just met it not long ago, tell me, is it a good match for Han Nianglang's talented women? ”
This is already a bit unseemly.
An Pingweng put on a face, and said coldly: "Mrs. Hou, please be careful." My cousin has nothing to do with the prince of your house, and the word "talented woman" is really too frivolous. ”
Fang was trained by the old lady of Pingguo, and it can be said that the elders teach the juniors, and the face of Mrs. Hou of Dongdu is somewhat passable. However, now that a junior has repeatedly said "cautious words", Mrs. Dongdu Hou can't hold it even if she is thick-skinned.
She was a little embarrassed and said, "Mrs. Shizi is serious! I don't mean anything else, I just think that Han Niang and the dog look very suitable......" She paused, and looked at the old lady of Pingguo with some reluctance, and said with the last glimmer of hope, "Old lady, I know that you love Han Niang." It's not just you, I'm also distressed when I see such a good little girl as Han Niang...... You must also hope that Han Niang can find a good home for her. I don't dare to boast about it on the side, but my son's character, that is a gentleman who is obvious to all, and when Han Niang enters the house, he will definitely be very good to her...... Isn't this girl's marriage the same as being reincarnated for the second time? Whether you marry well or not is a major event that will affect the rest of your life...... It's better to take a time to let Han Niang meet with the dog, the children's marriage, after all, still have to look at the children's own opinions? ”
Seeing that Mrs. Dongdu Hou's words were always quite personal, her expression eased slightly, but there was still no room for half a minute to return to the words she said: "No need." I still say the same thing, thank you for your kindness. ”
Mrs. Dongdu Hou was a little desperate.
missed a beautiful little girl like Fang Hanniang, I don't know when her son will be able to marry someone into the house, and I don't know when she will be able to spread out......
"Old lady!" Mrs. Dongdu Hou shouted a little unwillingly, "Do you have any prejudice against our Dongdu Hou Mansion?" Am I so sincere? …… Don't worry, when Han Niang enters our door, the son she gave birth to is the eldest son of our house, and we will definitely ...... well."
"What did you say?" The old lady of Pingguo frowned slightly, interrupting the words of Mrs. Dongdu Hou.
She also thought that she was getting old and had bad ears and misheard.
"The eldest son?" Mrs. Pingguo repeated.
Mrs. Dongdu Hou frowned slightly for some unknown reasons, and thought back to what she had just said, there was nothing wrong with it.
It's probably because the elderly are a little bit old.
"That's right, eldest son." Mrs. Hou of Dongdu repeated, and finally had an epiphany, thinking that she understood what the old lady of Pingguo cared about, and hurriedly remedied, "Oh, don't worry, even if it is the eldest daughter of the concubine, it is also the treasure of our Hou Mansion of Dongdu!" As the saying goes, it blooms first and then bears fruit! ”
The eldest son...... The eldest daughter......
These words made the old lady of Pingguo so angry that her whole body trembled.
It turned out that the Eastern Capital Hou Mansion actually wanted their family to be a concubine!
Lord Anping Weng was also angry enough, but she saw that the old lady of Pingguo was pale, and pointed to Mrs. Dongdu Hou, who was a little dazed, as if she was choked with anger, she was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Green Ying, go get the pill!" ”
As early as when the old lady's face was not quite right, the green warbler had already taken out the white porcelain vial from her arms with her hands and feet, and poured out a black pill from it.
