Chapter 107: Showing Your Face? Show your hand!
"Why are you going to leave all of a sudden?" An Pinghou was very puzzled, and his face was a little worried, but in the face of Jiang Yingliang, he still slowed down his tone and said softly: "But what grievances have you been wronged in the mansion?" ”
Jiang Yingli shook his head, and told Anping Hou everything he encountered today, and said at the end: "It's all because of me that the Hou Mansion has caused so much criticism." And it's because of me, ma'am...... Mother is so impulsive. It's because of me that I have brought so much trouble. ”
She thought horizontally, she didn't have a sense of belonging to the Hou Mansion at all, it was just for the heart of Mrs. Anhou Mansion. Now that I've brought trouble to the master's family, if I don't leave, I really don't know what to do.
After listening to this, An Pinghou's face was much less uneasy, as if he was relieved, he slowed down, and said: "These things are not your fault, you just live in peace." The rest of the things are in place! ”
Later, seeing Jiang Yingliang's hesitation, Anping Hou patiently whispered a few words of persuasion again, which made her mind can't help but think of the situation when Mrs. Hou Fu defended herself, and her heart softened for a while, and she was reluctant to leave for a while.
It's just that the next day, Mrs. Hou Fu had the heart to inquire about the gossip outside, and she was angry for a while, but she made herself angry, and she was so frightened that Jiang Yingli stayed by the bedside all day long, blaming herself and feeling guilty.
"Miss, the lady of the Shaoqing family of Honglu Temple came to visit, saying that she came to visit the lady......"
As soon as she finished feeding Mrs. Hou Fu to drink medicine, the housekeeper's lady blocked Jiang Yingli at the door and whispered. Now that the head of the mansion is not there, Mrs. Hou is sick, and Jiang Yingli is really the only one left who can be regarded as the master.
In this case, Jiang Yingli had never encountered it, and he hesitated for a while. If you see it, you have to ask Mrs. Hou to work hard, and if you don't see it, it is easy to offend people.
What's more, she only knows a little about this social circle.
"Since we're here, let's go and meet them together." Just when Jiang Yingli was uncertain, she was very surprised to see Mrs. Hou dressed neatly and walked out of the room with her body propped up.
"Mother, why did you come out?" Jiang Yingli subconsciously frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her on the side, and her tone unconsciously carried some resentment.
This familiar tone obviously made Mrs. Hou very useful, and there was a little more smile on her slightly pale face.
"Ma'am." The lady in charge obviously disagreed, how could she let the lady support her sick body to meet the guests?
It's just that since Mrs. Hou has made preparations, she obviously won't stop there, her face straightened slightly, and she said in a condensed voice: "Do you think that if you put away the worship post, I won't be able to see it?" ”
Mrs. Hou had already expected such a thing in advance, thinking that Jiang Yingli was young and couldn't hold back the scene, it was one thing for people to see the jokes of the Hou Mansion, and more importantly, she was reluctant to let Jiang Yingli be bullied and looked down upon.
Seeing that the lady in charge seemed to want to say something, Mrs. Hou directly interrupted her words immediately: "Let's go, don't let Mrs. Qin wait for a long time, you take her to the main hall first." ”
Seeing this, the lady in charge could only swallow the words of exhortation, and led Mrs. Qin into the main hall according to Mrs. Hou's words.
Mrs. Qin saw that the housekeeper took her to the main hall instead of the courtyard where Mrs. Hou was in the backyard, and she was also a little depressed for a while. After all, she came with the purpose of making friends with Mrs. Hou, and now that she has gone to the main hall, she is not so close.
But I heard that Mrs. Hou is sick, so the one who saw her in the main hall should be the righteous daughter of the Hou Mansion, right? It is said that the Marquis of Anping and Mrs. Hou regard her as a treasure.
Before Mrs. Qin could think about what attitude she should show to face Jiang Yingliang, she heard Mrs. Hou's voice with a little weakness but a smile: "This person is old, his body and bones are not very good, and he will come slowly, but you didn't let Mrs. Qin wait for a long time, right?" ”
Mrs. Qin was taken aback when she heard this, and immediately turned around to greet her, "Where did Madam say, if I had known that you were coming in the morning, I would have been cheeky enough to go over to greet you, wouldn't I?" ”
Mrs. Hou smiled slightly, and at the same time pulled Jiang Yingli forward, and the smile on her lips was even stronger: "Although it is a little bad, it is not to the point where you have to meet it." It's rare for you to come here, don't blame me for not being well entertained. ”
Then, as soon as Mrs. Qin sat down, she heard the lady in charge come forward to preach that three or four ladies had come together. Mrs. Hou nodded lightly and motioned for her to bring her to the main hall as well.
"It's a coincidence at this time, it seems that everyone is thinking about your body and bones, madam, but have you invited the imperial doctor to come?" Mrs. Qin put down the teacup and looked at Mrs. Hou, her tone was caring, but she glanced at Jiang Yingli very unconsciously out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Yingli had a decent and soft smile on her face, sitting quietly on the lower left side of Mrs. Hou, like a pleasing celadon vase.
"Sister Qin came so soon, and she didn't notify her sister, it seems that her sister is not sincere enough." A lady wearing a fragrant concubine-colored ayazi ruyi moire shirt walked over, and said to Mrs. Qin with some disgust, and then her eyes flickered, and it fell on Jiang Yingliang.
Mrs. Hou saw that everyone was almost here, and after a period of polite greetings, she said unhurriedly: "I'm sorry that you came to see me, I'm just a small problem, the doctor has already seen it, and it's not a big deal." ”
"Why, didn't you look for a doctor? This body can't be sloppy! ”
"Coincidentally, Imperial Doctor Zhao from Tai Hospital is my fellow villager and a reliable person, so I'll let him come and see Madame."
In a few words, everyone expressed their enthusiasm, and worked extremely hard to brush up their good feelings in front of Mrs. Hou, and after seeing that Mrs. Hou only smiled and responded, they all focused their eyes on Jiang Yingliang.
"This is Madame's newly adopted daughter, right? It's really as bright as the autumn moon, and it's moving. ”
Jiang Yingli never expected that they would compliment themselves in order to appease Mrs. Hou, and all of a sudden sugar-coated cannonball hit her, making her extremely uncomfortable. It's just that I remembered Fang Cai again, and Mrs. Hou's words to her heart, so I had to cheer up, put on the most appropriate smile, and try my best to blend in.
"Sss One of the women accidentally tore open the cuff of the sleeve because of too much force, and a crack appeared, and her face was full of embarrassment and distress.
"Li'er, you take Mrs. Wang down to change clothes." Mrs. Hou also had the heart to let Jiang Yingli enter the circle of the powerful, which was to let her show her face in front of people.
It's just that she didn't expect that Jiang Yingli not only showed her face, but also showed her hand.
Jiang Yingli stepped forward, looked at the cuffs, and said softly: "Trouble Mrs. Wang, wait a moment." Then he neatly took out the silver needle, but after three or two threads of the needle, a vivid butterfly appeared faintly on the cuff, and the crack became the pattern on the butterfly's wings very cleverly.
"What a skillful hand!"
Almost no one saw how Jiang Yingli dropped the needle, and only felt that her hands were as flexible as butterfly wings, cutting elegant arcs one after another in the air.
