Chapter 137: Concubines
(Cat flutter Chinese) Fang Hanniang led Jasmine back to the flower hall.
Jasmine was a little nervous, and secretly glanced at Fang Hanniang several times along the way, seeing that her face was gloomy, and her mood was not very good, she really didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Fang Hanniang returned to normal first.
Jasmine said in her heart that the eldest lady of their family is really very comparable.
Fang Hanniang entered the flower hall as usual.
Jiao had a smile on his face, and as soon as he saw Fang Hanniang come in, the smile on his face was a little unnatural, with a hint of embarrassment.
Fang Hanniang sat down on the vacant seat next to Fang Zhiniang with a calm expression, and said with a light smile: "Aunt Jiao, I'm not late, right?" ”
Jiao Shi hurriedly said: "It's not late, it's not late, it's just right, the banquet will start in a while." ”
Fang Hanniang paused.
Her stepmother, her attitude towards her is not quite right?
She actually knew that the Jiao family was more or less hostile to the three of their siblings, and even secretly used a lot of small tricks. But because those were nothing in Fang Hanniang's eyes, they were just minor troubles, so she never directly confronted Jiao's.
Although the face has not been torn yet, the relationship between the two sides is not very good.
In Jiao's answer, although it was a little embarrassing, it seemed that there was still a bit of flattery in it?
Fang Hanniang glanced at Fang Zhiniang, Fang Zhiniang and her sister had a heart-to-heart, shook her head slightly, and signaled that she didn't know what was wrong with Jiao's family.
It seems that they are gone, and what happened. Fang Hanniang was secretly worried, but her face was still calm, smiling generously, not at all.
There were a few ladies who were obviously very interested in Fang Hanniang, and came over to talk to Jiao's for a few words, but their eyes would fall on Fang Hanniang from time to time, and the topic was more or less biased to Fang Hanniang's side, and the meaning of the words was probably to look at Han Niang.
Jiao Shi glanced at Old Madam You a little anxiously, and saw that Old Madam You was talking to a few funny ladies and ladies around her with a smile, and she didn't pay attention to this, she had to turn her eyes back, and responded with some embarrassment and vagueness: "...... I can't do that. ”
Several ladies showed understanding eyes, after all, the stepmother was embarrassed.
Everyone in the flower hall chatted a little, and a maid came to report: "Old lady, the eldest lady is here." ”
Hearing this, Old Madam You was in high spirits for a while, and ordered again and again: "Hurry up, let a more secure mother-in-law go out to greet her." There are a few places on the steps of this flower hall that I remember having moss, but don't let Qianqian slip. ”
The maid responded yes and retreated.
Several ladies in the hall joked: "It can be regarded as seeing how much Old Madam You loves Qianqian." The old lady has a birthday, and where the people in the house dare to let moss grow on the steps, it must have been cleaned up a long time ago. The old lady did not forget to send someone to inform Qianqian, the old lady is really kind to the juniors. ”
Old Madam You smiled and did not answer.
After a while, You Ziqian was dressed in a pearl-white embroidered bamboo leaf gauze skirt, with a noble temperament like a fairy in the nine heavens, and she came over gracefully.
Seeing the dress on You Ziqian's body that was obviously different from the previous one, Fang Hanniang's expression was slightly stagnant.
This is somewhat similar to the one Ji Jinxing is wearing today.
You Ziqian's sleeves were fluttering, the expression on her face was indifferent, but standing under the hall seemed to be riding the wind in the next moment. Her voice was cold, she bent her knees slightly, and blessed Old Madam You: "Old ancestor, Ziqian wishes you a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring of pine cranes." Every year there is today, and every year there is a present day. ”
The wrinkles on Mrs. You's face were all smiling, and she looked at You Ziqian lovingly, her eyes were full of the love of the elders for the juniors: "Come here, accompany the ancestors today." ”
You Ziqian got up, clapped her hands gently, and the maid who had been following her and holding the long box slowly stepped forward with the long box.
You Ziqian took the long box and touched it in front of Old Madam You with her own hands, "Ancestor, this is a congratulatory gift from Qianqian." ”
A flash of surprise flashed on Old Madam You's face, and a lady on the side of the next side set up a ladder and said jokingly: "The eldest lady of the You family has always been known as the first talented woman in Cloud City, and the congratulatory gifts she wants to give are extraordinary. Old lady, you can do it today, let us also see it, and open our eyes. ”
She said it in an intimate and natural way, which caused everyone to speak out one after another, wanting to see You Ziqian's congratulatory gift.
As if she hadn't heard it, Mrs. You raised her hand with a smile, and the big girl beside her opened the brocade box with understanding and took out a framed picture scroll.
The picture scroll slowly opened, it was a picture of Guanyin flowers, the difference was that the Guanyin had her eyes closed, but her facial features were very similar to Mrs. You.
The brushwork is delicate and delicate, and the Guanyin in the painting is very expressive, as if it is Mrs. You.
Everyone in the hall was amazed, praising You Ziqian's talent.
Old Madam You seemed to like this congratulatory gift very much, and she looked at it carefully, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter: "Among my group of grandchildren, Qianqian can be regarded as one of the best." I like this gift very much. As she spoke, she called out to the housekeeper again, "...... Go and hang this painting in the small Buddha Hall. ”
This is to make a face for You Ziqian in front of everyone.
There are many sisters from other rooms of the You family in the flower hall, and when they heard this, their faces were more or less unnatural.
Fang Hanniang heard someone muttering behind her: "Is this still a gold paste on You Ziqian's face?" ”
"Probably You Ziqian has started to discuss marriage recently, so naturally we have to build up the momentum first."
"Look at it like this, with this momentum, I don't hesitate to step on other ladies in the house to support You Ziqian, the You family is not small......"
"Is it really like Xu Wenjiao said, they have their eyes on that son? ……”
There was chatter in the back, and Fang Hanniang lowered her eyes when she heard it.
These people probably don't know Ji Jinxing's true identity.
Soon the banquet began, and the banquet was ingeniously set up on the other side of the flower hall, which was wider and more open, suitable for drinking and seating.
Because Jiao was pregnant, the girls brought were not very old. At this small table, they didn't serve fruit wine, and drank some clear soup that moistened their lungs.
After the banquet, many ladies said goodbye one after another.
Many people also made an appointment with Jiao to walk around with each other before saying goodbye.
Jiao's expression was complicated, and he glanced at Fang Hanniang.
At this table today, the one who really benefits looks like You Ziqian, but in fact it should be her stepdaughter.
As everyone knows, how many ladies have expressed their kindness to their Jiao family today?
It's just a pity, Fang Hanniang ......
Jiao couldn't tell what mood he was feeling at the moment.
Because Mrs. You has the habit of taking a nap, after the banquet, she was supported by the maids to rest. The remaining guests who have not left are received by several young grandmothers in Youfu.
I heard that several young grandmothers in You Mansion were personally selected by Mrs. You, and they were all long-sleeved and good at dancing.
The rest of the guests are either related to You Mansion itself, or the good family of You Mansion, naturally they are all very talkative, and the young grandmothers are also very relaxed.
In order to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, a stage was set up in the center of the garden, and she kept babbling and singing. Jiao's didn't like this, and he was annoyed by the tone of the opera, so he was accompanied by Bai Er's grandmother, avoided the stage, and went for a walk by the lake.
Jiao Yanrong couldn't bear to accompany the adults, and went to run and play again. Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang were very conscious of being sisters, and followed behind Jiao Yanrong.
is mainly afraid that Jiao Yanrong, a little daredevil, will get into trouble.
Bai Er's grandmother held Jiao's arm, walked with Jiao's by the lake, and when she saw that there was no one around, she quietly asked Jiao's: "My mother-in-law has a crush on your family's Han Niang?" ”
Jiao Shi never had to pretend to be virtuous and generous in front of Grandma Bai, so he nodded a little tangled.
When Second Grandma Bai saw Jiao's look, she was a little anxious, and gently patted Jiao's arm: "Shanshan, what else do you have to worry about?" You haven't seen that son's demeanor, don't be ashamed, if I were fifteen years younger, I would definitely go to post that son. ”
Jiao Shi was amused by Second Grandma Bai, and said angrily: "Why are you still so unserious? ”
"There's something wrong with that." Second Grandma Bai glanced at Jiao's family, "For the sake of our handkerchief, I can tell you quietly, the identity of that son is absolutely extraordinary." Otherwise, my mother-in-law can't suffer from gains and losses like this, I'm afraid that Qianqian will not be insured, and she will add another Hanniang. ”
"Unusual" happened to hit Jiao's death**, she bit her lip and said: "You don't know her character, don't look at the etiquette on her face, so you can't find fault with half of it, but in fact, in that heart, it is really arrogant." If I marry so well, I'm afraid that my family won't have the right to talk to Yan Yan in the future. ”
Thinking that Fang Hanniang could marry a nobleman in Beijing, Jiao's was very unwilling, and felt that he was crushed by the dead Ruan.
"You brainshit!" Second Grandma Bai persuaded, "If she marries well, pull your Jiaofu a hand, this is the right reason." When the time comes, after she makes a concubine for that son, she will definitely be deeply favored by her appearance. When the time comes, isn't it better to find a good husband for Yan Yan than anything else? ”
When it came to Jiao Yanrong, Jiao's face seemed to be opened, and the hesitation on his face also faded a lot: "You're right. I'll go home and talk to our master. ”
Second Grandma Bai smiled with satisfaction.
Besides, Fang Hanniang Fang Zhiniang chased Jiao Yanrong around the garden, Jiao Yanrong didn't run a few steps, she felt very bored, and turned around and glared at Fang Hanniang Fang Zhiniang unhappily: "What are you doing with me?" ”
Fang Hanniang smiled and said, "Sister Yan, do you know that some abductors will sneak into other people's homes, put on the appearance of subordinates, and kidnap some boudoir ladies to go out and sell them?" ”
Jiao Yanrong opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked around in disbelief.
"......" Fang Zhiniang glanced at Fang Hanniang, her tone was a little helpless, and she said softly to Jiao Yanrong: "Sister Yan, the garden here is very big, and my eldest sister and I are also afraid that you will get lost, or go to a place where you shouldn't go." ”
"Where should I not go?" Jiao Yanrong heard Fang Zhiniang change the topic like this, her face was a little better, she looked left and right, "Where?" ”
Fang Hanniang had no doubts, and said that she shouldn't go, and then this naughty little girl will go to those places where she shouldn't go.
