Chapter 967: I heard
Mrs. Wan sat on the kang in her main room, and she felt that she had never been so exhausted as she was today.
Crying a lot, and crying and talking for a long time, this is secondary, the key is to take out her own private things and tell people, so that people know their various unsatisfactory places, this kind of shame makes her uncomfortable. She is always a proud person, after marrying into the Pingchang Hou Mansion, she was proud that her mother's family was a high-ranking official, and she was proud of her own family being the Hou Mansion. Except in the Yanwang Mansion, she didn't bow her head to anyone! Even if the political envoy of Beiping is the top boss of her husband's top boss, whether it is the Zhou family in the past or the Xie family now, she has never felt that her family is inferior, and she can even talk about others with confidence, saying that the Zhou family has no successor, and that the Xie family has a shallow foundation.
Today, she not only has to apologize in a low voice in front of the Wen family, who she looks down on, but also takes the initiative to expose all the shortcomings that she was accused of by her mother-in-law's family, and even the details of the eldest daughter's relationship with the Zhao family have been actively revealed. Fortunately, Wen is not such a narrow-minded and mean person, otherwise, whenever she says two sarcastic words, Mrs. Wan can turn her face on the spot and run away crying.
But even if Mrs. Wan suppressed the shame in her heart, successfully said that Wen's heart was soft, and she agreed to mediate for her in front of Princess Yan, she was still very uncomfortable in her heart. How could she ever be so embarrassed?! It's just a last resort. In order to quench Princess Yan's anger, save her reputation in the circle of officials in Beiping, save her husband's future in the circle of officials in Beiping, and also for the hope that her own children can have a good relationship, Mrs. Wan made such a sacrifice with humiliation.
She has sacrificed so much, how can she tolerate unsatisfactory results? Although Wen didn't pack the ticket, he only promised to help find out the wind in a few days, but Mrs. Wan had already made up her mind that she must urge her in-laws to solve this matter, otherwise wouldn't she have sacrificed in vain?!
But before she could breathe, the eldest daughter, Miss Wanda, asked you to say goodbye to her. Mrs. Wan looked at the eldest daughter's expression and sighed secretly, knowing that she must still be angry about the failure of the marriage.
On that day, when the eldest girl of the Xie family saw the eldest son of the Xie family, she was interested in marriage, and she thought that she had sacrificed a lot and took the initiative to talk to the Xie family sisters, thinking that this was condescending to the noble, but she didn't expect to work in vain in the end. Miss Wan listened to a few ridiculous words from her sister-in-law, Miss Wan Si, and her face was a little unbearable, and she didn't want to go out to meet people these days.
Mrs. Wan felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't know how to persuade her. The object of Xie Xianzhi's marriage is the daughter of the eldest princess of Yongning, although the Wanjia family is the Hou Mansion, it is no longer noble, where does it have the confidence to fight? What's more, Mrs. Wan wants to marry the Xie family, that is, the Xie family and the Yan Wangfu are in-laws, looking forward to using the Xie family as a springboard to climb the Yan Wangfu, how could she offend the eldest princess of Yongning, who is as noble as the Yan family, in order to marry the Xie family? !
She could only coax her youngest daughter to shut up, stop mocking the eldest sister anymore, and buy the eldest daughter more fine silk clothes and jewelry to make the eldest daughter happy. But these things are all ordered to be done by the people below, Mrs. Wan's mind has been on Wen's side for the past few days, and she can't take care of her daughter for a while, but now when she sees her sad face, she immediately feels distressed: "What's wrong?" But who you off again? If it's those two cheap girls, you just have to beat and scold. She was referring to two concubines. Wan Long took advantage of the good family meeting of the ten thousand girls to get married, and he had an envoy in the Yanwang Mansion, so he couldn't be easily beaten and scolded, and he could only find two concubines who didn't go out if he wanted to get angry.
Miss Wan snorted coldly: "I didn't bother to pay attention to those two girls, I feel that it is an eyesore when I look at them more!" Pursing his lips, he said, "In the past two days, I have been sick at home, and the girl from Senator Liu's family has invited me over to play several times, but I have pushed them all." Today, she came to invite me again, and I really couldn't shirk it, so I had to send the big girl around me over and send some food and snacks, just to play with them. Otherwise, Senator Liu will be promoted in a few days, and their family may not be able to get stuck! Although our family is originally the Hou Mansion, we don't need to look at the face of this small family, but it's not good to talk about the Hou Mansion all day long, but let people say that there is no one in our eyes! Those people out there who don't know the truth don't know how to arrange us! ”
Mrs. Wan sighed: "My son, it is difficult for you to be so sensible and considerate, and think about your father everywhere. Don't worry, the Liu family has been promoted, and they can't go beyond us. Senator Liu still doesn't dare to show your father's face in the yamen, what is his daughter to be proud of? When I get my hands free, I'll be angry for you! ”
"There's no need to get out of the air." Miss Wan pouted and said, "She didn't say anything rude, but she didn't have any eyes, knowing that I didn't want to go out, and she still had to invite me to tea, which was just annoying." On weekdays, she is quite interesting, and she speaks politely, and she is more temperamental to me than several girls in the Xie family. If I were to pick a few friends that I interact with on a daily basis, I would rather find their sisters than go to the Xie family next door. After a pause, he finally got to the point, "When my girl went to deliver snacks, she heard their sisters gossiping with the girl of the envoy's family, saying that Kaipingwei had just caught a group of enemy soldiers, and it seemed that he was planning to sneak in to do bad things, and the person who Kaipingwei made great contributions was the grandson of the old general, who had just turned eighteen years old, Du Miaomiao, the family had been beautiful in the past, and the ancestors had married the county lord of Yanwangfu for many generations, but now they have been defeated......"
Mrs. Wan was taken aback, and before she could finish listening, she interrupted her daughter's words: "My son! What if such a person makes meritorious contributions?! No matter how beautiful the ancestors are, now they are gone, how can they be worthy of you?! ”
Miss Wan choked for a moment, then blushed, and said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense?!" That's not what I meant! "She just said that she didn't go well for a while, where did she get to the point where she wanted to marry a young talent when she heard about him?! Mother is too underestimated!
Mrs. Wan laughed dryly twice, and said weakly: "I was wrong, good boy, don't be angry." What's wrong with this person? ”
Wan Da girl glared at her mother angrily, and then continued: "This person, saying that he had already made meritorious contributions in the big war last year and the beginning of this year, and he returned to Beiping with that Xiao Gongzi to receive the reward, but he did not go to the capital together, but returned to Kaiping Wei to continue to defend, but the officials who should be promoted and the rewards they should receive are the same as Xiao Gongzi before he recognized his relatives." Now that he has made great achievements, needless to say, he must be promoted again, and maybe he will be transferred back to Beiping. A girl from the Liu family had some ideas, so she asked him if he was married, and the daughter of the envoy directly told her to die!
She said that when this person returned to Kaipingwei after receiving the reward, the county lord of Yanwangfu personally went to see him off, all the way out of the city for ten miles! The two of them rode side by side and talked, and the guards of the Yan Wangfu followed from a distance, even the Xiao Gongzi followed, without stopping them. So close...... I'm afraid that the county lord has already taken a fancy to this person? Most of the Yan kings and princesses are also in the know! He has both a family background and military merits, how can he be enough to be the honor guest of the county lord, right? His mother was worried that Wan Long would be favored by the county lord, so she hurriedly told him about the Xie family...... In fact, it's all in vain! Where is he worthy of this little general for a minute and a half?! ”
Mrs. Wan's face suddenly became ugly.
