Chapter 896: Decision
Whether it is Aunt Da Jin or Shunxin, the news from the main courtyard or somewhere else does not seem to be as bad as Xie Yingrong imagined.
Two days later, Mrs. Wan came to Xie's house again as a guest, and laughed with Wen's for half an afternoon, during which she not only met Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin, the two concubines of the Xie family who had already decided to be married, but also specially met Xie Yingrong and Xie Yingfen, the two concubines - of course, in the end, this one was actually a number. Mrs. Wan specially looked at Xie Yingrong a few more times, chatted with her a few more words, and then looked at the new clothes she had made herself, and then smiled and didn't say anything more.
Xie Yingrong was confused, and couldn't figure out what Mrs. Wan thought of herself, but looking at the other party's attitude, she didn't seem to be disgusted with herself. Maybe...... That marriage is still quite stable, and Mrs. Wan didn't kick her out of the list of concubines and daughters-in-law because of the attitude of her two daughters?
Xie Yingrong secretly rejoiced, but he didn't dare to reveal half a point on his face. She suffered a loss in front of the Wanjia sisters, and now she doesn't dare to show anything hard, let alone show her true emotions, and only pretends to be honest and obedient in front of the guests.
She didn't expect this style to praise Mrs. Wan's intentions. The daughter-in-law of the concubine is high-spirited and loves vanity, although she will not get along well with the concubine and add to the blockage of the concubine, but if the concubine's daughter-in-law is not honest enough, it will also be annoying to make trouble at home all day long. The third girl of the Xie family has the right appearance of having a heart but no courage, and she will marry into the Wan family in the future, in front of her mother-in-law, she only needs to be docile and obedient, no matter how many complaints she has, no matter how big her temper, she will go back to her own house and send it to Wanlong. The more she had a seizure, the happier Mrs. Wan became!
Mrs. Wan had basically decided at this time to marry the three girls of the Xie family for her concubine Wan Long. But there is no need to rush to do it, the Xie family has just told the two eldest daughters about their relatives, and the Wen family has something to do, where can they spare their hands to worry about the marriage of their concubines? Mrs. Wan thinks that she is a good person who is considerate and friendly, and of course she will not cause trouble at this time, so after saying hello to her husband Senator Wan, she left this matter behind her, and it is not too late to do it in a few days.
Xie Yingrong didn't know this. After Mrs. Wan saw her, it seemed that there was no follow-up, and when she came to the house to sit and chat, she no longer called her over to accompany her, what does this mean? If it weren't for the fact that there were usually only two sisters-in-law who had already decided to be married, and the other sister-in-law Xie Yingfen would not be that honored, Xie Yingrong would have to wonder if Mrs. Wan disliked herself again and planned to find another suitable daughter-in-law for her sister-in-law?
She was a little anxious, so she could only ask Aunt Dajin to go to Wen's to find out the news, and on the other hand, let Shunxin find a way to inquire about the news from the girl in the main courtyard or Xie Mulin's courtyard. But Mrs. Wan has stopped mentioning the marriage of her concubine recently, what can Aunt Dajin and Shunxin inquire about? I only know that Princess Yan seems to be going to hold a plum tea party recently, and invite several officials to the palace as guests.
Wen has been busy with this matter recently, and plans to bring the two eldest daughters over when the time comes, making new clothes, picking new jewelry, etc., and also has no leisure to take care of the marriage of the concubine. Mrs. Wan is also busy with the same thing, she hasn't chatted at the house for the past few days, but she has sent someone over to ask, what clothes and jewelry do the three Wen's mother and daughter plan to wear on the day of the tea party? So as not to collide with the three mothers and daughters of the Wan family, everyone will be embarrassed.
Xie Yingrong was secretly anxious all night, and the next day he instructed Shunxin to go to the main courtyard to inquire about the news of the tea party. The tea party in Yanwang's Mansion, although it is not a serious banquet, is also a very decent social occasion, and it is a great opportunity for these official ladies to show themselves in front of outsiders! If Mrs. Wan wants to skip her and choose another suitable lady for her concubine Wanlong, then she has to seize the opportunity to prove to Mrs. Wan that she is the most suitable person for Wanlong!
If she could take the opportunity to please one or two nobles, or even get the favor of Princess Yan or Lord Yan, it would be even better! Although the Yanwang Mansion has not been beautiful for a few years, at least it still holds great power at the moment, and it is still the most powerful family in this dynasty, and there will always be a time when it can be used.
Xie Yingrong was full of ambition, and two hours later, he was poured cold water on his second sister Xie Mulin, who came to visit him.
Xie Mulin looked at her with a frown: "What are you messing up again?" Why did you order your own girl to inquire about the news of the tea party in Yanwangfu? I heard that you also asked Aunt Jin for a few sets of your own gold-headed noodles? Don't tell me, you know that you don't have your share of the tea party, and you plan to dress up specially, and on the day of the tea party, you will have to squeeze into our family's carriage and go to Yanwang's mansion! ”
Xie Yingrong's eyes flickered, and she said with a flattering smile: "Second sister misunderstood, where did I mean this?" I just thought that I might need to wear some decent gold jewelry during the New Year, and I was afraid that the head and face that my aunt kept for me would be old, so I would take it out for inspection, and if necessary, send it outside to be fried, not intended to be used at the tea party. My wife didn't ask me to go to the palace, so how dare I make my own decisions? ”
Xie Mulin sneered: "You'd better do what you say." If I tell me that you say one thing and do another in secret, and deliberately make trouble at the tea party in Yanwang's Mansion, I will never spare you easily! ”
Of course, Xie Mulin will not easily connive at Xie Yingrong's troubles. What kind of plum tea party Princess Yan wants to hold is definitely not a plan in advance, but a sudden idea, in fact, it is the family affair between Xiao Rui and Xie Mulin.
The governor's wife came forward to propose marriage to the Xie family for Xiao Rui, and Geng Ti also exchanged, and the marriage contract was preliminarily decided. But Xiao Rui is still nominally the second son of the General Mansion of Zhuguo, and he wants to get married, without his own parents coming forward, which always makes people feel a little strange. Yan Wang and his wife claimed that they would handle this matter on behalf of Xiao Rui's parents, so the meeting between the in-laws would be changed to a meeting between Yan Wang and Xie Pu and his wife. In order not to make this meeting look too strange, Princess Yan used the tea party as a cover, and even planned to invite Xiao Rui's "biological mother" Aunt Li Yaozhi back to the palace to meet with Wen in private on the day of the tea party. In this way, this marriage has the "order of the parents" and the "words of the matchmaker", and if the Yan Wang couple comes forward to take charge again, Xie Pu and his wife will no longer have any doubts.
Xiao Rui sent a letter of explanation to his fiancée through Xie Huizhi, and although Xie Mulin felt a little troublesome, he also accepted the other party's arrangement. Since it was a meeting between her and Xiao Rui's parents, she couldn't allow anyone to make trouble and ruin the meeting. Xie Yingrong's brain circuit is very strange, and no one knows what she will do. Xie Mulin didn't want to make any scandal that affected the reputation of the girls of the Xie family when his parents and his fiancé's parents were officially meeting, and he would definitely stop Xie Yingrong.
So she said to Xie Yingrong: "My mother is busy with my eldest sister and my family affairs, and Mrs. Wan will not disturb our family at this time." You should already have an eye on the matter with Bandung, but it hasn't been decided yet, what are you anxious about? Stay honest, otherwise the family affairs in hand will fly away! ”
