Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Concubine
Duanmuqing took a step back and bowed generously, "The arrival of the five princes is the glory of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and Duanmu Qing thanked the prince for his mother." ”
After speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at Cai Wei, "Fengxiang." ”
This is clearly for Zhao Yuxuan's steps.
It's just that Zhao Yuxuan was still thinking about Duanmu Zi, who was standing behind him very aggrieved at the moment, and he was still angry in his heart.
Zhao Yufeng could see it, walked over quickly, pulled his sleeve, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Fifth brother, there are people outside!" It's not worth it to affect your image for such a trivial matter. ”
Turning his face to look, there were already many officials in the courtyard, Zhao Yuxuan really restrained the color, and Zhao Yufeng took the incense handed by the maid together, stood and bowed three times, and then went outside together.
Duanmu Zi froze in place, embarrassed. Go, too faceless; stayed, and no one came forward for himself.
When the people in the room saw Duanmu Qing's tough methods, they were already afraid in their hearts, for fear that she would let herself fall like Duanmu Zi on such an occasion.
After Duanmu Qing swept the audience again, he quietly retreated.
Ordered someone to pull up the curtain, Duanmuqing picked up Duanmusu, who had been kneeling beside him to burn paper money, and asked Caiwei to help her inside.
went outside again and found Duanmuhe and Lin Yuyan, "Second brother, Brother Yan, there are many people who come and go to pay tribute these days, my mother is afraid of noise, I don't want so many people to cry and mourn, just me and Su'er are enough, and I want to accompany my mother more, people who come and go, and I want to ask my brother to take care of me." ”
As soon as I came over, I heard about the things in the mourning hall, and when Duanmuhe and Lin Yuyan saw her so haggard at this moment, although they were a little reluctant, they could only agree.
So, the people who went to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to mourn found that every time a guest went to the mourning hall, they found that it was quiet, and they couldn't hear the earth-shattering cry.
Li Ningshuang originally saw Duanmu Qing acting like this, and she had already sneered in her heart, and after Duanmu Zi was beaten, she took her all the way to Duanmu Jun.
After Duanmu Jun, who knew it, heard about it, his face was a little abnormal, but he just said that he already knew about it, and waved them to retreat, seeing this, Li Ningshuang couldn't help muttering in his heart.
But when he heard that he immediately went to the mourning hall, he was relieved again, and sat quietly in Qingshui Xuan waiting for news.
Who knew that the person who came told her that Duanmu Qing just told Duanmu Jun that Qiu Tian didn't like to have so many irrelevant people noisy, so he didn't say anything, and went straight to explain to the old lady.
What's even more surprising is that the old lady did not object to Duanmu Qing's approach, but opened her own small private treasury and took out silver to let Duanmu Jun do more decently on the original basis.
This made Li Ningshuang very angry, originally thinking that Duanmu Qing's actions would make the Yongding Houfu lose face in front of the visitors, thinking that the Yongding Houfu was neglecting the Hou Ye and his wife.
But in this way, the old lady immediately made it impossible for people to make a fuss about the number of courtesies, saying the rights and wrongs of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but instead inquired about the reason, and naturally thought that this was Duanmuqing's filial piety and conformed to the wishes of the deceased.
Duanmu Zi was also full of fire, that day was a lively time, there were a lot of people coming, in addition to the five princes and the three princes, there were also some famous sons of the capital who came over, but Duanmu Qing gave her a slap in front of so many people.
Many daughters in Tianjing are secretly laughing about this matter, even at the funeral banquet, when they see her coming, they also gather together to look at her and laugh at her.
But she can't help but show her filial piety, and she has to make a polite and mournful appearance to everyone, and she is helpless to hate her heart.
For his future path, he had to seize the opportunity to follow Li Ningshuang to entertain the female guests who came and went.
On this day, I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground, I was tired and panicked, and I wanted to find a place to rest, so I turned the corridor, and I heard Wei Shangshu's daughter and the sister of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites muttering and snickering, faintly hearing a slap, the five princes and the like.
She was anxious and angry, but she couldn't come forward to theorize, although she was young, she also knew that the more you wanted to stop the rumor, the more it would spread, and only if you ignore it, it will pass after a while.
Seeing that they were walking away, Duanmu Zicai sat down on the porch chair angrily and stretched out his feet to rest.
"Zi'er, why are you here? Tell me to be easy to find. ”
Duanmu Zi saw that it was Li Yanding, the cousin of his maternal grandfather's family.
Originally, she didn't have a good impression of this Li Yanding, because since she was a child, she knew that this cousin coveted her beauty, but she still looked down on him in her heart.
Li Yanding followed his third cousin Li Yanbang to the northwest since the beginning of spring, and he hasn't seen him for almost a year, so he doesn't know how he came back at this time, and he is not as impatient as he usually sees him.
In addition, there are fewer people who come to talk to her for the events of that day in the past few days, and Li Yanding came over, just satisfying her feeling of being held.
Suddenly, he showed a look of joy and disgust, "Why are you here?" It's been more than half a year since I left, and I haven't even had any news, I've been wronged here, and I haven't seen you come over to hug me. ”
As soon as he returned to Tianjing, he wanted to come and see Duanmu Zi, who knew that when he heard his mother talk about the Yongding Marquis Mansion, he couldn't imagine that Duanmu Zi would suffer from her sister's idleness, and he couldn't help but be curious.
When I came to the Yongding Marquis Mansion today to mourn, I heard that Duanmu Qing gave Duanmu Zi a slap in front of the guests, and I was even more shocked in my heart, and then I was full of anger.
At this moment, seeing the person who has been hurt on the tip of my heart since I was a child so aggrieved, my heart is almost melting.
Hearing this, he immediately stepped forward, sat next to her, and said a little mysteriously: "She's so arrogant, isn't it because she is the eldest lady, are you born to your aunt!" ”
As soon as she heard this, Duanmu Zi's face suddenly looked bad, and the most hated thing in her life was that some people said that she was a concubine, and Duanmu Qing was a concubine.
How could Li Yanding not know, and before she could get angry, he continued: "Now that Qiu Tian is dead, doesn't your father have no wife again?" ”
Duanmu Zi's eyes lit up, "You mean to let my father straighten my mother?" ”
Then he hesitated: "Is this possible?" ”
Li Yanding smiled: "You don't want to think about it, your father is only less than forty years old, won't he marry again?" But now that two wives have passed away, it is inevitable that someone will have a reputation for his wife, so will some people marry their daughters? If it's worse, you Yongding Marquis Mansion won't be able to look down on it. ”
"It's not ...... if it's so high or low" Hearing this, Duanmu Zi also smiled, "It's just that someone has to mention this matter, and I have to let my father have to straighten my mother right." ”
"Don't worry about this, I'll keep you as you wish." Li Yanding patted his chest, very confident.
Duanmu Zihu narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Are you serious?" Don't you coax me! ”
"I will never come to see you if I don't succeed."
Hearing him say this, Duanmu Zi was relieved, thinking that after Li Ningshuang was corrected, she would be a righteous concubine, and she had the seat of her mother's main room, where did she need to put Duanmu Qing in her eyes.
In an instant, my mood improved, and my eyes were full of smiles.
Li Yanding was originally obsessed with Duanmu Zi's beauty, but seeing her with such a sweet smile at this moment, how could there be no reason not to be impressed, and the three souls immediately flew away from the second.
His heart was full of ambition, and he thought that when the matter was done, Duanmu Zi was grateful for his expression.
Duanmu Qing didn't know anything about what was happening on this corridor.
Every day, she sat quietly at the back of the mourning hall, ignoring anyone, just burning paper money for Qiu Tian, occasionally remembering the past, and only silently weeping.
Duanmusu followed her, knowing the suffering in her heart, and remembering that when the Huang family passed away, the tears that were not particularly many would also surge.
Cai Wei got Duanmu Qing's order from the beginning, and she was always taking care of Duanmusu, and seeing that she didn't look right, she immediately asked someone to help her to the back room to rest.
Feng Nuan stood next to the screen like a bodhisattva, blocking the people in front of the mourning hall outside, and no one could come in.
At the beginning, there was a woman who was good friends with Li Ningshuang who wanted to call for her, but before she could get close to the screen, she was kicked outside by Feng Nuan.
Duanmu He and Lin Yuyan immediately stepped forward to make a fuss, saying that Duanmu Qing thought about his mother too much, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him, and he didn't want anyone to accompany him.
The woman was kicked and almost didn't lose half her life, but the Yongding Marquis Mansion had to explain this incident as carelessness, and he couldn't afford to offend such a family, so he could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, and was carried home.
From then on, where would anyone dare to go to the back to take a second look, and besides, that Qiu Tian has never dealt with the nobles of Tianjing, who would be willing to suffer for a woman who has no friendship.
Since this stoppage, Duanmu Qing has been extremely clean in the back, and he doesn't have to think about the messy mundane things at all.
On this day, the front hurried into a small house, and when he saw Duanmuhe, he hurriedly said: "Hurry up, second young master, quickly take the eldest lady and the fourth lady to the front to receive the decree, there is a holy decree in the palace." ”
Duanmuqing and Duanmusu glanced at each other, and they didn't know what kind of holy decree came down at this time.
Duanmuhe asked about the little guy, and the little guy said that he was in a hurry, and he didn't know, so a few people had to hurriedly tidy up, and then went to the front hall to meet the holy decree together.
