Chapter 182: Contradictions
"It's beautiful here." Miss He praised, the corners of her eyebrows raised slightly, "It's like my house, there is nothing to look at." ”
General He Tu was most disliked by these undesirable things, and he preferred to spend all his money on inviting the brothers to drink hot wine, and because of this, the decoration of the He Mansion was relatively simple compared to other mansions.
Mrs. Changping Hou looked at her with a smile: "In your house, it's enough to have you, why do you need any beautiful scenery?" ”
She said, taking Miss He's hand, "If there is such a lovely child as you in my house, then I will be very happy." ”
The people who followed him were stunned when they heard this.
What Mrs. Changping Hou meant by this, did she really want Miss He to go to her house? Isn't that ......
A few women were already unhappy because they were robbed of the limelight by Miss He, but when they heard Mrs. Changping Hou's words, they immediately lost their good faces, and their steps slowed down and followed Ji Yinxian.
Ji Yinxian glanced at Miss He with great disdain.
is the daughter of a military general and a reckless man, she can't be on the stage at all, if it weren't for the good relationship between Changping Hou and General He Tu, where would He Yi be able to get into the blue eyes of Mrs. Changping Hou.
Miss Hu next to her was also pale, staring at Miss He with a pair of eyes, her fists clenched in her sleeves.
Ji Yinxian glanced at Miss Hu, Miss Hu understood, and when everyone stopped, she walked quickly to Mrs. Marquis of Changping.
"Madam, the plum garden is still in full bloom." She smiled and said, "In this situation, the little girl is not talented, but she wants to make a painting, paint this bright scene, and give it to Madame." ”
She bowed her brows, very respectful.
Not to be outdone, another woman also said that she could paint.
Before you know it, it's a competition, and everyone knows it.
If the painting is appreciated by Mrs. Changping Hou and enters her eyes, then even if she does not become a princess, she can gain a good reputation.
Mrs. Changping Hou originally had no such plan, but seeing that several young ladies were eager to try, she agreed.
She stepped aside and ordered someone to bring the painting tools.
"Miss He, why don't you try it too? Madame has praised you just now, so you should also make a picture for Madame. Miss Hu said with a smile, looking straight at Miss He.
Now Miss He knows what Miss Hu's plan is.
She wanted to make things difficult for herself, because of the fifteenth princess, most people in the capital knew that she couldn't paint.
By the way, this Miss Hu is still the follower of the fifteenth princess, but she used to be inconspicuous behind a bunch of young ladies, so Miss He didn't notice her.
"Not trying." Miss He flatly refused.
If she agrees to such a thing, then she is a fool. No one likes to compare their weaknesses to others.
Miss Hu didn't expect Miss He to refuse, so she sneered: "Miss He, Madame has praised you, and if you don't show us it, then we think you won't." ”
Because of her anger, her voice was yin and yang, which sounded very uncomfortable.
Miss Cui Liu hurriedly retorted to her: "Madame is not a good painter of Sister Kuayi, so you should not be confused at will." ”
"Really?" Miss Hu snorted and said disdainfully, "Then Miss He can't afford Madame's praise!" ”
After she finished speaking, two or three women also pouted, looking at Miss He's gaze with a little contempt.
People are like this, but when the two have no conflict of interest, they can maintain a superficial friendship, but once interests are involved, the false face will be immediately revealed, and the two will immediately become enemies.
"You guys!" Miss He was so angry by their words that her face became ugly.
Li Mingyun hurriedly grabbed her.
She felt that if she didn't hold it, Miss He would rush over and hit someone.
"Sister Yi, don't be impulsive." She persuaded.
As soon as Miss Hu and the others saw Li Mingyun blocking her, they thought that Mrs. Changping Hou had praised her just now, and immediately targeted her again.
"You're just Li Shilang's niece, what qualifications do you have to come here?"
"I heard that she is the daughter of Changshi, and that Changshi has also been demoted to an official ......"
"It's because of He Yi that I came here......"
"It's just a sesame petty official......"
A bunch of Chechesoso smashed towards Li Mingyun with questioning, contemptuous and disdainful words.
Li Mingyun has never heard such a thing, and if she says it, forget it, and even talk about her father.
She was a little angry, and her expression faded a lot.
Li Mingqin and Li Mingjia were equally angry.
"Please be careful." Li Mingqin said with a cold face.
Li Mingjia glared at them directly.
"Don't bully people!" She aired.
Miss Hu snorted.
"We bullied you?" She said arrogantly, "Are you worthy! ”
She stepped forward and looked at Li Mingjia and them condescendingly.
Miss He clenched her fists in anger.
"Hu Yan, don't deceive people too much!" She said.
Anger surged into his heart in an instant, and the two groups of people confronted each other nervously.
Li Mingyun was silent, and suddenly shouted "Madam".
Miss Hu and the others immediately behaved like little white rabbits, where could they still see the aggressive momentum just now.
They turned their heads and saw that Mrs. Changping Hou had not come over, so they stomped their feet in anger.
"You lied to us!" Miss Hu aired.
Li Mingyun curled his lips.
"So that's all you can do?" She said, "I really think that you are neither humble nor arrogant, even in front of your wife, you have to say that we are not worthy." ”
She smiled a little lightly because she was really angry.
Although she is not a stingy person, at this time, she feels that it is better for her to be stingy, otherwise, this group of people will only gain an inch and make it more difficult for them.
"Okay, you Li Mingyun!" Miss Hu has a good memory, she wrote down her name as early as when they introduced her, she pointed at Li Mingyun and scolded, "Today I will definitely let you know how good I am!" ”
Her face turned blue with anger, her eyes drooped, disgusted and angry.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Changping Hou came slowly, making them seem to be very angry and stiff, so she looked at Miss He and asked, "Yi'er, what happened just now?" ”
Miss He just wanted to speak, but Miss Hu hurriedly said, "Madam, I heard that Miss Li San is excellent at painting, and I want to invite her to paint together, first, I want to see her paintings, and secondly, I want to ask for advice. ”
After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Li Mingyun in a friendly manner, "Miss Li San, you shouldn't be unwilling, right?" We're all looking forward to it. ”
At this time, if Li Mingyun disagrees, it will embarrass everyone. If Li Mingyun agrees, she will be embarrassed herself.
Miss Hu was overjoyed.
Because she concluded that Li Mingyun, like Miss He, could not paint. In her heart, the laity can only be in the company of the laity.
Sure enough, Li Mingyun shook his head and said, "I'm not good at painting. ”
She didn't seem to be joking, and Miss Hu pursed her lips.
"Miss Li San is humble." She said, looking at Li Mingyun with disgust, "Who doesn't know that your brothers are talented and write poems and paintings, so Miss Li San should not shirk." ”
"That's my brother, not me." Li Mingyun said stubbornly.
Miss Hu's heart sank.
"Does the third young lady refuse to give us all face, or is it that the girl in the Li Mansion is just a false name, but in fact, she doesn't know anything?" She said.
This statement is serious, and it will even affect the reputation of the Li Mansion.
Li Mingqin bit her pale lip, but she couldn't say anything.
She is not good at painting herself, and she doesn't know how her two younger sisters paint, so if she rashly defends, she is afraid of making trouble for her third sister.
Li Mingjia has never heard of Li Mingyun painting like this, and in her impression, Li Mingyun rarely paints, presumably not.
She only knows that Li Mingyun writes well.
Miss Hu's-for-tat made the atmosphere tense again.
Miss He snorted.
"Miss Hu, don't be aggressive!" She said, shaking Mrs. Changping's hand, "Aunt Shen, what's so fun about painting......
"Just because Miss He doesn't like painting doesn't mean that Madame doesn't like it." Miss Hu interrupted her words and looked at Mrs. Changping Hou obediently, "Madam, we sisters all want to present a picture scroll for this plum garden, you must let us get our wish." ”
She spoke as if painting was her life's desire.
Miss He pouted.
She wanted to do this, and if she asked Aunt Shen to refuse, it would be unsatisfactory, so she had to stop talking.
