Chapter Forty-Eight: The Old Lady of the Mansion of the State of Qi
"Forgive me for being clumsy, who is this?" Chu Yuean asked suspiciously.
"Her name is Shangguan Yan, and she is the seventh lady of Shangguan Prime Minister's family." Chu Yueyun said, "On weekdays, it is the most pungent, even men are afraid of her, we all call her Brother Yan." She is the most righteous, since she has recognized you as a friend, if you have any difficulties in the future, she will definitely help you. ”
"I haven't spoken yet, but you're pushing me up first." Shangguan Yan laughed, "But what Yun'er said is right, I like you, if there is anything I can help in the future, you just have to tell me." ”
"Then I won't be polite to you in the future." Chu Yue'an said with a smile.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the concubines are distinct, Chu Yueyun's mother family is also a family of merchants, Shangguan Yan, as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is not even half unruly, she must be a broad-minded person, and she must be sincere when she says this today.
However, after knowing Chu Yue'an's identity, many people secretly looked at this once crazy Ninghou Mansion concubine, and they didn't know if her madness was cured now?
When Chu Yue'an was talking to Shangguan Yan and the others, a maid next to the old lady came to her side and whispered: "Second Miss, it turns out that you are here, the slave has been looking for you for a long time." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The old lady asked you to go over, the old lady and the lady of the Qi State Mansion are here." The maid said, "The old lady asked you to come and see me." ”
"Oh?" Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed slightly, Chu Yuezi's birthday, the old lady and lady of the Qi State Mansion are here? Is the purpose of their coming here for Chu Yuezi or for themselves?
"Okay, I'll go over here." Chu Yuean nodded and said, "Everyone, you talk slowly, I still have some things to deal with, so I will leave first." ”
Subsequently, she walked to the Spring Garden, which was lively, in addition to the two from the Duke of Qi, there were several other elderly ladies, who must have been old friends of the old lady, and in addition to the Zhao family, there was naturally today's birthday star Chu Yuezi.
"I've seen my grandmother." Chu Yue said in his inner body.
"The second girl is here." The old lady raised her eyes and smiled slowly, and pointed to the two people on her left and left, "Hurry up and ask the old lady and lady of the Qi State Mansion, as well as the elders." ”
"I've seen the old lady, I've seen the lady, and the elders." Chu Yue Anfu lowered his eyes and said.
The old lady of Qihou Mansion is a little plump, she looks very kind, although she is over the age of sixties, but her eyes are still very shrewd and sharp, the appearance of the Duchess of the Kingdom is forty years away, well-maintained, elegant with two points of alienation, the corners of her mouth are a little drooping, she laughs well, and when she doesn't laugh, she looks two points mean.
"Second girl, I haven't seen you for almost ten years." The old lady of the Qi State Mansion smiled and beckoned to Chu Yue'an, "Come to me, let me take a good look at you!" ”
"Yes." Chu Yue put out two traces of shyness to see the parents, and slowly came to the old lady's side, "The old lady's body looks very tough, and I was very surprised to see it today, Yue An went to say hello to the old lady and the lady earlier." ”
"Because your body needs to recuperate, I haven't come to visit you these days, and today, on the birthday of the third lady of your mansion, I also came to see you, how is your body recovering?" The old lady held Chu Yue'an's hand and asked kindly.
Previously, Mrs. Yan was full of praise for the second lady, and Mama Qu also praised her after coming to see it, so the old lady just wanted to come and see for herself, she valued the woman's virtue more than her appearance, if her illness was completely cured and her conduct was good, she would be a good candidate for a granddaughter-in-law.
"Thank you for your concern, it's already good." Chu Yuean smiled lightly.
Chu Yuezi watched silently, although there was a smile on her mouth, the jealousy in her eyes could not be hidden, she was her birthday, the old lady and lady of the Qi State Mansion were here, that was to definitely give her face, she thought that the Qi State Mansion belonged to her, but she didn't expect them to come for Chu Yue'an.
Are they blind, such an ugly girl, how can they be compared to themselves!
"It's good to recover." The look of disappointment in the eyes of the Duchess of Guo could not be hidden, thinking that her son was a talent, this woman's appearance was really ordinary, and she was worthy of the royal state, "Today is Yuezi's birthday, you are too plain in this body, right?" You young children, you should still dress brightly to look good. ”
This birthday is naturally a happy event, and everyone is wearing a lot of colors, Chu Yue'an's clothes that are close to white are indeed a little out of place.
"I didn't mean to dress so plainly today, I always do." Chu Yue'an said unhurriedly, "First, I have been crazy for a long time, I have not bought new clothes, the previous clothes no longer fit, my wife gave a few pieces of material, and I have not yet made ready-to-wear clothes, and secondly, since I woke up, I often dreamed of my late mother, so I wore plain clothes to express my longing for my deceased mother." ”
"It was a piece of filial piety." The old lady of Guogong Mansion said with a smile, she ignored the aggressiveness implied in the first half of Chu Yue'an's words, and only grabbed the second half of the sentence and praised, "You are a good boy, and you have always remembered your dead mother in your heart!" This is not to enter the palace to meet the nobles, there are rules on what clothes to wear, since it is outside the palace, what clothes to wear is naturally the freedom of the children, just be decent, and there is no need to be harsh. ”
"Yes." When the Duchess saw that her mother-in-law was maintaining, she couldn't say anything, but she was afraid that her mother-in-law had fallen in love with this second lady, and she didn't know what she looked at.
Chu Yuezi's eyes were sharp, and she naturally saw that the Duchess was dissatisfied with Chu Yue'an, and she was secretly proud in her heart, too, there are always people who have normal eyes!
These people are all human spirits, so they naturally saw the attitude of the old lady of the Guogong Mansion towards Chu Yue'an, and they all smiled and said a few words of compliment, as if today's birthday star was not Chu Yuezi but Chu Yue'an.
Chu Yue'an faced the overwhelming praise, just with a faint smile, and accepted it calmly, she would not look childish, and there was no arrogance and complacency, her indifferent attitude was naturally called Mrs. Qi's liking, she liked children who had seen the world, I heard that this second lady had not been out of the Hou Mansion before, she was still worried about the childish spirit of the little family, but now she has no worries about this, this girl is not inferior to a few girls in her own house!
