"Actually, I've wanted to go around for a long time, but I'm afraid it will be too abrupt to go alone, but luckily the Countess is willing to accompany me." Su Jiao was embarrassed, pursed her lower lip, drank the wine in the cup and left the table hand in hand with the countess.

In order to hold this banquet, the table occupied almost half of the garden, so Su Jiao and the others came to the shady rockery without a few steps, and they could watch the direction of the flowing water mat while enjoying the shade.

It was only here that he had stood for a moment, when suddenly there was a commotion on the throne of the table, and the Duchess of Heijo sneezed and cursed at the same time.

The county lord of Pingcheng was anxious to help his mother, and he also followed the side silently, "This lady in the capital knows that my mother is allergic to fur, but you want to wear this dress to come over to toast, what is your intention." ”

"It's just that the concubine in the Three Princes' Mansion is not qualified to come to the banquet, why do you have to invite her over, Mrs. Lin!"

Anyway, Mrs. Lin is also an elder, but this Pingcheng county lord has been spoiled by the Duchess since she was a child, and she has always been rude and willful, unreasonable, and even the princess's things have to be scrambled, and at this moment, she is even more polite and shouts at Mrs. Lin, which makes the faces of Mrs. Lin and the ladies below instantly difficult to see.

Su Jiao was beside the rockery far away from the land of right and wrong, looked at it in surprise and pointed to Zhang Xinglin in surprise and asked, "This, doesn't Mrs. Li know, and she actually let Su Lian wear this cloak?" ”

"It's just everyone's tacit, so I don't know if Madame Li knows, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that the Duchess won't give up." Saying that, Zhang Xinglin didn't forget to quickly pull Su Jiao.

"By the way, the duke's family is not easy to mess with, Mrs. Xiao, don't stand up for Su Lian at this time for the sake of a momentary mood."

"I'm naturally not stupid to this point, everything I can have already been done." Su Jiao comforted her, and at the same time, she also remembered the content of the original book about Duke Pingcheng in her mind.

In the book, Xu Rulie has the support of most of the officials in the court, many of whom have relied on the influence of the Duke of Pingcheng in Daze for generations, and if you look at it today, I am afraid that the duke will no longer be on Xu Rulie's side.

On the main seat, and then Mrs. Li's eloquence is good, in the face of the unreasonable Pingcheng County Lord, she was stunned and didn't say a word, Su Lian was even more tearful when she was scolded, and the cup in her hand was not stable, so she simply put it aside, grabbed her hand and stepped forward.

"I didn't know that the Duchess couldn't touch fur things, I didn't mean to offend, and I didn't think that I had done something bad with good intentions, so I have come to make amends, and I ask the Duchess and the county lord to calm their anger."

However, the county lord didn't make so much effort to see her weak appearance, and immediately waved his hand in disgust to protect the duchess and retreat. "Get out of here, who cares about your reparations, you are still wearing this dress, don't hurry up and pick it up for the county lord!"

It is really humiliating to ask a woman to take off her clothes in public, even if it is just a cloak, even if it is only on the occasion of a woman's dependents. Su Lian was scolded by the county lord to tears, grabbed her cloak and took a few steps back.

And the county lord of Pingcheng saw that Su Lian didn't take his words seriously, and he immediately felt annoyed and angry, and waved his hand to take the initiative to come up and take off her cloak.

The scene was very chaotic for a while, but fortunately, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li were next to him, so that the county lord did not succeed.

Su Lian is the favorite of the third prince Xu Rulie, if she is wronged, the third prince must not be angry. Therefore, Mrs. Li, who is quiet and elegant on weekdays, is also forced to panic at the moment.

On the contrary, Mrs. Lin, who is the host, is thinking about other things in her mind, and she doesn't feel that this farce is smashing her own field.

Mrs. Li frowned, protecting Su Lian and hiding a few more steps back, while Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled the county lord.

"The county lord of Pingcheng has to be forgiving and forgiving, Aunt Su came here for the first time, how did she know that the Duchess had this taboo, and today is Mrs. Lin's big day, you can make a big deal small, don't stretch it any more, so as not to lose everyone's face."

"What has fallen on everyone's face, Mrs. Li, you make it clear first." The county lord of Pingcheng has always been a well-known pampered lady in the capital, and it is more difficult for people to get close to him than the duchess, so he is angry with many lords who want to have a good relationship with the Duke's Mansion of Pingcheng.

Although everyone listened to Mrs. Li's words today, they still had more disgust with the county lord's attitude, so almost everyone in this meeting belonged to watching the fire from the other side, waiting for the result.

"She's just a concubine in the Three Princes' Mansion, can't she compare to Mrs. Ben, who is the wife of Duke Heisei as the wife of Duke Heisei, but she has a decree with her,"

Since Su Lian was standing farther away, the Duchess's sneezes didn't sneeze much, but the light red spots that slowly appeared on her face still didn't dissipate.

"If Mrs. Ben has three longs and two shorts because of her, I'm afraid that even the third prince can't protect her, why is Mrs. Li rushing to help her talk now?"

"That's, that's not what I meant." Generally, only lords and nobles or the wives of high-ranking officials with outstanding military achievements can get the decree, although Li Shangshu is a member of the second grade, but Mrs. Li still does not have an edict.

It's just that the county lord's grade is slightly lower than that of Mrs. Li, but as soon as the duchess's identity is revealed, Mrs. Li immediately has no room for more talk, not to mention that the duchess is not the kind of person who is easy to reason.

Mrs. Li's face changed slightly, Su Lian saw that the situation was not right, and prepared to take off the cloak, stepped forward to apologize again, and was pulled by Mrs. Li in time.

Mrs. Lin also sensed that the atmosphere was too stiff, and hurriedly came out to play a round at this time, "That's it, that's it, let's not care whether Aunt Su has a heart or not, it's still the Duchess's body that matters." ”

"I have already ordered someone to go to the palace early to invite the imperial doctor to come, the duchess and the county lord might as well go to the lobby with me to rest, so that the imperial doctor can diagnose and treat it."

Hearing this, the county lord didn't say anything and reluctantly supported the Duchess, but the Duchess glared at Mrs. Lin together, "The officials are innocent, I didn't expect Mrs. Lin to like this kind of mud." ”

When the words landed, Mrs. Lin barely maintained a dignified and respectful appearance, but in fact, she had already resented a lot in her heart. If it is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, after many days of painstaking negotiations, it still can't reach a word.

When the words landed, the Duchess first paused, then glanced at Mrs. Li coldly, and whispered, "It's just that a young lady from a wealthy merchant has bothered to marry a second-class master, and she has forgotten who she is and what she is." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li suddenly felt that her whole body was cold.

There are three, six, nine and so on, Shinong industry and commerce, business people are always ranked at the bottom of the society, although the Xia family is an imperial businessman, but also can not escape a business word. And the relationship between the Xia family and his wife is harmonious, only Mrs. Li's daughter, and it took a lot of trouble to make her the title of Li Shangshu.

Although Mrs. Li is willing, in the eyes of most people, she still feels that the Xia family is clinging to the powerful through her daughter.

Mrs. Li is so arrogant of her own, and she is so naked to be picked up by the Duchess at this time, which makes her feel so happy.

Su Lian looked at Mrs. Li's face, knowing that the matter was getting bigger, and she didn't dare to make any more moves, so she had to stand behind Mrs. Li with a heavy burden of humiliation, and after the Duchess left, everyone in the room felt relieved.

"The duchess spoke too politely, and she offended everyone present." Su Jiao knew that she was out of the way, but looking at the arrogance of the Duchess and the county lord at Mrs. Lin's birthday ceremony, she also felt a little unhappy.

This is even more tricky than the most picky agent and boss in modern times, is it really that he gets along with people too smoothly in this backward ancient time, and even feels powerful to this extent?

Su Jiao shook her head, and the countess heard her words and explained for her beside her. "At the end of the strong crossbow, the Duke's Mansion of Pingcheng is now getting worse day by day, and the Duchess naturally has to behave more strongly in order to hide the uneasiness in her heart."

"It's understandable, just because people like the Duchess are gone now, they shouldn't think about coming back to settle accounts after the autumn one day." But her arrogant daughter, the county lord, I'm afraid it won't be like this.

Thinking about it, as long as Su Jiao thought that there might be more self-righteous and self-righteous words behind the county lord, she couldn't help but get goosebumps in the cold.

"Don't care about this, Mrs. Xiao, you're fine, and our goal today has been achieved, otherwise let's leave early today." Zhang Xinglin touched a pair of elbows, she had been standing here for a long time, it was too cool here, and her elbows were a little painful when it was cold.

"Not yet, it's just to make Mrs. Lin suspicious, Lord Lin is so cautious, he doesn't believe Huai'an's words, he still has to beat again."

Su Jiao pursed her mouth and was talking, when she saw that the countess's face was a little unhappy, and she couldn't help but reach out and pull her, "Madam, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, it's old, if you stand in a cold place for a long time, your joints will hurt a little, in the end, you're old, and you're not as good as you young people."

Zhang Xinglin smiled, gently rubbed her elbow twice and put it down, Su Jiao saw this, and hurriedly took her two steps outside, "How can it be, the countess is forever young in my heart." ”

"The most important thing is the mentality, not the age, a cheerful person like the Countess will definitely be able to live to be 100 years old," it was also the Countess's relationship with her that made Su Jiao forget for a while that the Countess was about the same age as Mrs. Su.

"And people of our age seem to be energetic, but some people have things hidden in their hearts, maybe they are not as good as your body, madam."
