Chapter 213: Lectures
But her reputation is also very important, the third wife is in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law, how can the second daughter marry before the eldest daughter, she can't guarantee that she will find a good family right away.
If Du Zhen becomes the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Wei, why can't Sheng'er find a good mother-in-law?
When Mrs. Du thought about it, she still praised Du Zhen a few more words.
Mrs. Xuanping Hou was very tactful, just like chatting usually, she only said what Miss Zhang had learned and what she liked to do.
The third lady couldn't help but look up at Mrs. Xuanping Hou twice.
It's a pity to hear that Mrs. Xuanping Hou is not from a high background, that is, the daughter of a five-grade petty official.
The old Zhang family man is not a problem, but the daughter-in-law and daughter are stronger than the other, if they are replaced, why not prosper the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
It's just that compared to the Xuanping Hou family, she still likes the Du family more, after all, the Xuanping Hou family is already very difficult to produce, she is marrying a daughter-in-law and not a daughter, and it is useless to ask for a title, and Lord Du is a saint, it is still good for Brother Yu, and Lord Du is not too old, and he is still expected to be promoted in two years, maybe he will be able to sit in the position of Shangshu and Cabinet Scholar.
Tong Yan thought completely opposite in her heart, they all said that marrying a wife should marry a virtuous person, Lord Du's family style is not right, these two daughters are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they marry back, they are afraid that they will make the family uneasy, but this Miss Zhang, her speech and demeanor are down-to-earth and generous, and at first glance, Mrs. Hou has spent her time teaching her, and she feels that it is a pity to match Cheng Yu.
No matter what the third wife thinks in her heart, she treats the two wives equally with her enthusiasm, and does not embarrass others at all.
After talking, the three families became acquainted with each other, and Miss Zhang asked Tong Yan with a smile, what she usually likes to do at home, and at first glance, it makes people feel that she is just pure curiosity and has no other meaning.
Tong Yan still has a good impression of Zhang Guilan, and smiled and picked up a few things that ordinary daughters like to talk about.
Zhang Guilan was pleasantly surprised: "The county lord and I have the same preferences." ”
Tong Yan smiled, she didn't take a stubble, how did she think that Zhang Guilan's target was not the third wife, but herself?
Zhang Guilan was not disappointed, and said with a smile, "I also like to make incense very much, and every time I make it, I give it to some cousin." She untied the sachet on her waist and handed it to Tong Yan, "This is what I made yesterday, and I just brought it today, the county lord smelled it, but it smelled good?" ”
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so Tong Yan sniffed her hand.
It smells really good, the light fragrance is not pungent, with a hint of orange sweetness and freshness, mixed with a refreshing floral fragrance.
Zhang Guilan looked at Tong Yan's gradually admiring eyes, and put the purse into Tong Yan's hand with a smile, "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, just take it and play with it, I still have a lot of them." ”
She said it very sincerely, as if she had met a confidant and wanted to share it with Tong Yan.
The sachet is brand new, with a lake blue satin, embroidered with fine stitches of magnolia flowers, shiny, like real flowers, with goose-yellow brocade knots underneath, and long tassels falling, which is very delicate.
Tong Yan was embarrassed to refuse, so she took it and thanked her.
"What are you talking about, smiling so happily?" Mrs. Du looked at the two of them with a smile.
Others also looked at it.
Tong Yan didn't wait for Zhang Guilan to speak, she spoke first and said lightly, "But let's talk about it, I usually do something at home." ”
Mrs. Du was a little stunned when she saw that Tong Yan was not very happy.
Mrs. Wu, the third wife, and the fourth wife looked at each other, this was the first time that the county lord was unhappy, but Mrs. Du was indeed a little talkative, Tong Yan and Miss Zhang were not related to her, and she said something about it.
Fortunately, the nuns outside came to call them, and the puja was about to begin.
Mrs. Du breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Du Zhen and Du Sheng sisters angrily, and whispered to them when they were walking out and when there was no one around, "Look at the people, Miss Zhang knows that she took the initiative to talk to the county lord, and the two of you are more detouring than the other, I am really angry." ”
Du Sheng's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, and when he saw that Ah Niang left without looking back, he said angrily to Du Zhen, "It's all you, I was also implicated, and I don't look at what I look like, how can the government of the country take a fancy to you as a daughter-in-law!" ”
She hurriedly caught up with Mrs. Du, and muttered in a puzzled whisper, "Look at that wretched look, it's really a waste!" ”
Du Zhen bit his lip aggrievedly, kept twisting the handkerchief in his hand, and hurriedly chased after him.
Probably because the incense supply of the Guogong Mansion is sufficient, so the position is still very high, and I can clearly see the appearance of Mrs. Jinghui, and even the voice of the lecture seems to be above her head, after listening to it for a long time, Tong Yan only feels that her brain hurts.
She quietly looked at the Wu family and the third wife beside her, and they were all listening carefully, very honest.
Tong Yan sighed, what she said was very reasonable, but the sound was loud and continuous, but it really made her head buzz, if only she could sit a little farther away.
After talking all morning, Mrs. Jinghui's voice was already dumb, and Tong Yan felt a little sympathetic to her, because she was also in pain now, even if Mrs. Jing didn't speak, her mind seemed to be still echoing with the scripture she had just said.
As soon as she finished her vegetarian diet, the third lady was thinking about Miss Jiang.
Compared with the Du family and the Zhang family, it is better to have the Jiang family, and the concubine is just borrowing the belly of a concubine, how can it be raised under the name of the second lady Jiang.
The third lady wanted to visit the second lady Jiang.
The fourth wife and the second lady Jiang still have some friendship, she originally thought so, and went with the third wife without saying a word, and did not forget to call Tong Yan.
Tong Yan smiled embarrassedly, covered her chest, and politely refused, "Two aunts, I may have been bumpy for too long today, and my body is a little uncomfortable, and I want to rest for a while." ”
The fourth and third wives saw her like this, and thought that she was sick to the spleen and stomach and wanted to be nauseous, so they hurriedly drove her to the wing room to rest, and called a nun who knew medicine to come over and take a look at her.
Tong Yan stood up with the help of Qingzhi, waved her hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry about it, I'll rest first, and if it's too good, call the nun over." Don't worry about me, there is a mother-in-law and aunt here, you can go quickly, don't miss the important things. ”
Seeing that Tong Yan was so uncomfortable, the third wife was still thinking about things for her, so she couldn't help but be slightly moved, and she comforted her a few words before pulling the fourth wife away.
Tong Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She really didn't want to see Second Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang, she felt that the people in Jiang's Mansion were not good people, and she felt uncomfortable when she saw them, and even felt a little uncomfortable.
And the third wife went in vain, according to her understanding of the Jiang family, Jiang Yao would never be able to marry the third wife.
Although Jiang Yao is soft and weak on the face, she is very strong in her bones, and even for her own sake, her means are not very good, not to mention that the Jiang family must have an idea for letting the second lady Jiang record the concubine in her name.
Although she doesn't like Jiang Yao, she has to admit that Jiang Yao is the most outstanding daughter of the Jiang family, how could such a good bargaining chip be wasted on Cheng Yu?
