Chapter 129: Crying
Miss Wu Er's expression when she spoke made Wang Xi feel that she didn't feel like she was going to go together, but as if she had something to say.
Wang Xi smiled and distanced himself from Chang Ke.
Second Miss Wu nodded secretly and said in a low voice: "The flower viewing banquet in the palace is rare, you should still go and take a look." If the Marquis of Yongcheng is unwilling to take you, when you enter the palace, you can come and be my companion. ”
In other words, even if the Marquis of Yongcheng is unwilling to take her into the palace, she can find a way to let the Marquis of Yongcheng take her, and as for entering the palace, there are people from the Marquis of Qingping to protect her.
This is a great kindness.
Wang Xi thanked and thanked, and really had such thoughts.
Because she came in a sedan chair, she couldn't talk to Chang Ke on the way back, but when she got off the sedan chair, the mothers-in-law who served them to get off the sedan chair looked nervous, as if something had happened.
Wang Xi quietly motioned to Bai Guosai to give the woman a red seal, and asked her quietly, "What's wrong?" ”
The woman glanced at Chang Ke in a panic and said, "The third wife and the second wife quarreled. said that she didn't let the fourth lady go to the flower viewing banquet in the palace, and she also pulled Mrs. Hou to comment. Mrs. Hou was embarrassed. Everyone is arguing with Mrs. Tai! ”
Chang Ke was anxious when he heard it.
Her mother is deferential and honest, she is known for not being able to speak, there is Mrs. Hou's partiality, and the second wife's sharp tongue, where is her mother her opponent.
Chang Ke hurriedly changed his clothes and ran to Mrs. Tai.
On the way, I met Wang Xi who rushed over.
She took Chang Ke's hand and said in a deep voice, "You calm down." Don't say things you shouldn't say and do things you shouldn't do. After all, you are not separated, and you can't move out of the Hou Mansion at this time. Keep a little love, and we will meet in the future. ”
Chang Ke nodded again and again, thanked him repeatedly, and said, "I know, I won't quarrel with the elders." ”
As for whether it will hurt people, it's hard to say.
Wang Xi sighed.
If it was her, her mother would have been wronged like this, and she would probably understand all the truths, but she might not be able to endure this breath.
Chang Ke said: "Thank you for coming over, but it's none of your business, you better go and greet Mrs. Tai later!" ”
"It's fine!" Wang Xi smiled and patted Chang Ke's hand and comforted her, "If I don't go, they can favor me?" I'm the nouveau riche who only knows how to smash people with money in their eyes, and I've long lost my reputation, and I can't save this reputation no matter how scruples I have, so what else is there to worry about. ”
Chang Ke was slightly stunned.
Wang Xi pulled her back: "Hurry up!" Be careful that you can only help your mother cry once when you go late. ”
Chang Ke didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly went to Mrs. Tai with Wang Xi.
The atmosphere in the courtyard of the lady was depressing, and the servants on duty were all trembling, and when they stepped into the courtyard, they heard the cry of the third lady: "...... We know our own business, we don't have the ability of the uncle and the second uncle, so we don't go to the porcelain work, no matter what the uncle and the second uncle say, our family is running before and after without saying a word, and there is never a time to shirk. But you can't bully honest people. Our family Ah Ke is not as good as Ah Yan, but this matter of kinship is not only married to a daughter-in-law in a high-ranking family, and it is not only the eldest daughter-in-law who wants to look at each other.
"Our family Ake can't be the person who is in charge of the director and presides over the feed, can't he be the second daughter-in-law who helps the eldest sister-in-law? Why don't you even have the qualifications to step into the palace gate?
"I don't ask for anything else, I just ask for a chance to give our family Ake, so that our Ake can also go and have a look, and show his face in front of everyone, so that others know that in addition to the eldest lady, the second miss, the third miss and the fourth miss in our family.
"Am I also wrong to do this?!"
That's what I said!
Wang Xi wanted to applaud the third wife very much, but he was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that as soon as the third wife's words came out, she was accusing the big room and the second room of bullying the third room, and Mrs. Tai was biased against her own son, but she was afraid that she would offend Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Hou, and the second wife.
She quickened her pace, and Mrs. Hou's voice came from her ears: "What are you talking about?" When did we bully you? There are so many brothers in the family, none of us stayed, so we left you to be filial piety in front of Mrs. Tai, who doesn't boast of 'filial piety and gratitude' when you go out in this room, how come it is 'bullying honest people' in your mouth? You should also speak with a good conscience. When have we ever treated you badly......"
One "you" and "we" are regarded as two families in their hearts, isn't it a disadvantage?
Wang Xi couldn't listen to it anymore.
The second wife never spoke.
She deserves to be the most shrewd and capable of several daughters-in-law, and these words were scolded to her head, but she was able to keep silent, and her eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law were in front.
Let the third wife continue to speak, I'm afraid I won't be able to offend all the people this time.
Wang Xi held Chang Ke's hand tightly and motioned her not to speak, but he said loudly with a smile: "Mrs. Tai, is there something wrong with this?" Or we'll come back to greet her later. ”
The sound of the main room suddenly stopped.
may feel that it is not decent to say this in front of the juniors.
Wang Xi guessed, and saw Mama Shi running over in small steps, and said with a smile on her face: "Miss Cousin and Miss Fourth are back." What's the matter. No, you juniors are not here, Mrs. Hou and the two ladies came over to talk to Mrs. Tai, and this is about to disperse. Miss Cousin and Miss Fourth will come in with me. Jinling's aunt and grandmother sent some oranges. But it is a rare thing, Mrs. Tai specially told me to leave a few for Miss Cousin and Miss Fourth to taste! ”
This is a typical stick to give a sweet date.
Wang Xi smiled and went to the hall with Mama Shi.
Mrs. Hou had obviously made a fuss, and everyone had a little smile on their faces, and they couldn't tell that anyone had ever cried.
Chang Ke's hands tightened, and Wang Xi stepped forward to salute everyone.
Mrs. Hou said softly: "You have been busy all day out, and you are tired, so let's rest early today!" I'll come back tomorrow to talk to Mrs. Tai. ”
This is what it means to send them away.
The corners of Chang Ke's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to say something, but Wang Xi stopped behind him, and said with a smile: "Where it is hard, it can be said to be hard." We have good food, drink and fun in Jiangchuan Bofu, but there are a few elders who are in charge at home, think about it, we are very uneasy in our hearts! ”
Then she didn't say anything polite to Mrs. Hou and continued: "However, we still have one more thing to discuss with a few elders.
"The eldest lady of Jiangchuan Bofu and the second lady of Qingping Marquis Mansion have asked us to go to the flower viewing banquet in the palace together, we don't know about this yet, and we don't know how to answer for a while, so we have to respond vaguely, ready to come back and ask the elders to give us an idea."
She made her words straight to the face.
Mrs. Hou's face turned red and she muttered speechless.
The third lady simply stopped pretending and began to cry in a low voice.
Only the second wife, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she walked past her sister-in-law and brother-in-law and said: "There are many rules in the palace, and we are also afraid that you juniors don't know the severity and will make trouble when you enter the palace." What are you talking about? You and Ake go back first, and we'll tell you what you decide. ”
I thought that would send them away.
Wang Xi sneered in his heart and said, "It is precisely because there are many rules in the palace that we juniors don't understand very well, do we want to ask a retired female official in the palace to teach us the rules." And then there are clothes and jewelry, my fourth sister and I have been listening to Miss Lu and Miss Bo Liu discuss what clothes to wear and what jewelry to wear when entering the palace, lest everyone wear the same color and can't be purple and red, and lose the interest of the nobles in the palace. These must not only be prepared in advance, but also have to talk to the provinces.
"We haven't come up with a charter in our house at this time, I'm afraid we're going to be one step behind. Even if you enter the palace, isn't it still a foil for people.
"Or maybe my personality is too strong. I'm a person who hasn't been a foil in my life.
"If this is the case, it is also a good thing not to enter the palace, so as not to carry a sedan chair for others. Not worth it! ”
Mrs. Hou opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and said in amazement: "You, do you still know what clothes and ornaments the nobles of various provinces are going to wear to enter the palace?" ”
In the past, the Marquis of Yongcheng had never received such news.
Mrs. Hou couldn't help but look at Wang Xi again.
Wang Xi only felt that it was okay that the Marquis of Yongcheng was unwilling to recognize her, if she was willing to recognize her, she would vomit to death if she had such a foreign family that made green leaves everywhere.
"Isn't that how it should be?" She asked knowingly, slapping the face of the Marquis of Yongcheng, "Everyone is looking forward to going further with each other, not to mention each other, and they should hug each other tightly." The royal family is not the only one who chooses a concubine this year, and it is not only the prince who does not give birth to the emperor's grandson, this generation will not succeed, and the next generation will not succeed.
"Look at the eldest princess of Lin'an, she is not rich to this day.
"The so-called predecessors planted trees, and later generations enjoyed the shade, isn't this the truth."
Mrs. Hou's face was red for a while and white for a while.
Mrs. Tai, who had been silent, suddenly cried "wow", and said to Wang Xi while crying: "Ah Xi, do you blame me for not letting you into the palace." You're different. You are so beautiful and your family is so rich, if you are looked at by a shameless person and take you back as a side concubine, how can I explain to your mother! Others can misunderstand, why don't you understand my hard work! ”
It's good that she doesn't cry, but this crying has brought Wang Xi to the cusp, and the third wife looks at her differently.
I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.
Wang Xi slandered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he squeezed out two tears, stepped forward and took Mrs. Tai's hand, and said: "I know that Mrs. Tai feels sorry for me, and I also feel sorry for Mrs. Tai, so I have to fight for the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion." Why can other people's families communicate with each other, only in our house, there is not even a person to discuss things. ”
Speaking of which, she thought of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.
Maybe this is also the reason why the Yongcheng Hou Mansion has been enduring the Xiangyang Hou Mansion?!
But she didn't plan to follow the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion one day to pick up the stinky feet of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.
"I feel that the ladies in our house not only have to enter the palace, but also dress up decently to enter the palace." She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and gave Mrs. Tai an idea, "I didn't want to enter the palace, but if the third sister and the fourth sister don't come out on top when they enter the palace, I will always be unwilling in my heart!" Why can the people of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion get face in front of the lady concubine, but we can't from the Yongcheng Hou Mansion? ”
After speaking, she also deliberately glanced at the second wife.
