Chapter 219: Banquet
If it were those people in the market, I'm afraid they would have been beaten a long time ago, fighting for the mouth, and assassinating for the assassination.
The general's wife and the princess were able to sit together peacefully and discuss what happened in a cultured manner.
Qingwan shook her head and replied reluctantly: "The concubine doesn't know what happened, but she only knows that the disaster was caused by my family." ”
At this time, it was the turn of the Duchess to be confused, "You are from the general's family, but you don't know what is going on?" So what do you come to do? ”
An Guogong held down his wife and said, "The old man can see that Mrs. and those people are not all the way.
It is rumored that you are the daughter of the prince of Zhennan, and it seems that this upbringing and etiquette cannot deceive people. ”
Qingwan was silent for a while and said: "My general doesn't have a good background, but he is from an ordinary farmer's background, and today's industry is all fought for on the battlefield with his life."
Although his mother is vulgar and ugly, after all, she is also my mother-in-law and elder, and the concubine has to serve well, and his brother and sister-in-law, even if they are fierce and unkind, are also my relatives and brothers-in-law, and the concubine has to take care of them together. ”
The Duchess gradually calmed down, "So, you really don't know what happened today?" ”
The servant in the Guogong Mansion on the side handed over a congratulatory note, and looking at the stamp and paper on it, Qingwan saw that it was from his own handwriting.
Guogong picked up the congratulatory note and looked at it, and said: "I remember, Mrs. said two days ago that when she first arrived in Beijing, there were many trivial matters, and the wife of the general's mansion took care of her alone.
The paper on the congratulatory note is very rare, with a lotus dark pattern, and the stamp on it is also the first time I have seen it, and it is also a lotus seal.
At that time, I still had a heart, thinking that my wife treated her so solemnly, and my family should be thoughtful next time. ”
The Duchess also remembered something, and touched the purple jade bracelet on her hand, "The gift you prepared at that time was still a rare purple jade bracelet in the world, and a piece of cloth woven with gold and carved flowers to make clothes for the little girl." In the gift list, the lady's gift is slightly different, and I specially wrote it down. ”
Guogong and Mrs. Guo glanced at each other, and seemed to let down their guard against Qingwan a little, so they glanced at the mother-in-law in charge on the side.
"Madam, this is how things are today......"
Before the banquet began, all the guests had to take the greeting slip to enter, and they didn't know whose name the samurai's mother-in-law and brother and sister-in-law had taken, so they followed in.
Due to the large number of personnel, the servants did not inquire in detail, so they wrote down three of them from General Weiyuan's mansion and let them in.
Originally, it was a banquet for celebrities and officials to play games, but it was just a reason for the birthday of the little girl of An Guogong, everyone got together to gossip and play a game.
Who knew that An Guogong's little daughter was also today's second miss of the birthday star, and she played with the guests.
Flower order is an elegant game, but whoever draws the flower lottery has to say a verse related to this flower. The loser will give the next family a personal gadget.
Originally, I had a good time, but I don't know when Mrs. Qin also got involved.
Everyone is a noble lady with a head and a face, and although there are winners and losers in the game, they don't care much about the weight of this personal thing.
Mrs. Qin doesn't know how to play, so she has to join in the fun, her upper family is just the eldest princess's child who doesn't learn and has no skills, so she got a jade wrench.
But she didn't answer anything, but she refused to take anything out of her body and give it to the next family.
One bite at a time, she is the mother of the general, her status is precious, how can she take out something and give it to others casually.
There is no one here who is not more valuable than her, and she is a little annoyed when she sees it. The children of the eldest princess's family saw that this woman was unreasonable and arrogant, so they wanted to retrieve their jade wrench.
But how could Mrs. Qin give up, hide the jade wrench finger in her heart, and let others take it.
Everyone is a noble family, so naturally they will not do anything to her elderly mother-in-law, especially since this is the birthday banquet of the second lady of the national princess, no one dares to smash this face.
The second lady has a straightforward personality, and when she saw that the woman was so arrogant, she wanted to take the wrench she had hidden and return it to the eldest princess's son.
How could the woman be willing, when she saw the second lady rushing over, she scuffled with the second lady, and the flower stick wine cup hit the ground, and there were broken cups and broken bowls everywhere.
The second lady didn't pay attention, and was knocked to the ground during the push, so she scratched her face.
The mother-in-law saw that the second lady was injured, and she was afraid to drop the jade wrench and ran away, and the martial brothers and sisters-in-law who were eating and drinking at the backyard banquet did not know about it until everyone helped the second lady back to the room to rest and treat the wound.
The two understood that something was wrong, so they also fled.
The mother-in-law in charge was also angry when she said this, "How can there ever be such a guest in my house?
Go to the banquet without congratulatory gifts, play unruly, get into trouble without saying a word, and run away afterwards to avoid trouble. Where is this the behavior of a decent person? ”
Qingwan smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I don't know the cause of the incident until now." ”
Guogong and Guogong and Mrs. Guogong were not embarrassed by Qingwan, they also knew that Qingwan was not directly responsible for this matter, she was also a junior of the martial family, even if she was responsible, it should have been Mrs. Qin of the martial family who was responsible.
"Can I take a look at Second Miss's injuries?"
Duchess Guo led Qingwan to the door of the second lady's room, "Sui'er, someone is coming to visit, do you want to see it?" ”
Through the door, I heard an angry "No! ”
Qingwan said to the second lady inside: "Second miss, I am the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Qin who injured you today.
If you don't mind, I want to see your wounds, and tomorrow I will ask a doctor to treat you. ”
The Duchess of Guo whispered to Qingjuan: "We have also invited the imperial doctor, and they all say that this scar is inevitable, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the little girl to marry in the future." ”
"It's okay, I know a miracle doctor, any incurable disease will be cured, a while ago my husband was poisoned and almost died, he can hang his life until there is an antidote to save his life."
The second lady seemed to hear Qingwan's words, so she asked the maid to come to the door to report.
Qingwan made a gesture to the Duchess of the country, and then followed the maid into the second lady's boudoir, although the sky was dark, but the scars on the second lady's face were still faintly visible.
I thought there was only one scar, but I didn't expect that half of my face was equivalent to a scratch, and it was really unacceptable to leave a scar.
"You said that this injury can be cured, can it be recovered?"
This injury is indeed more serious.
Mother Jin tugged at Qingwan's sleeve, trying to remind her to speak carefully.
After seeing her injuries, Qingwan was a little afraid to pack the ticket, so she said, "The miracle doctor will come to my house early tomorrow morning."
If the second miss does not dislike it, I will invite the second miss to drink tea, and please the second miss must come to Bishe. ”
The second lady thought for a while, and felt that this matter was still beneficial to herself, so she agreed.
"Haoqing, bring in the gift for the second lady."
Mao Qing crept in with a birdcage, which hung on the washing shelf in front of the young lady's bed.
The snow-white thrush, rare in the world, deftly turned around in the cage and jumped two steps towards the second lady, and the second lady saw the delicate appearance of the bird.
"Oh my God! A white thrush! ”
Qingwan saw that the second lady liked this white thrush so much, and immediately put her mind at ease. "This bird is for the second miss, I hope the second miss will accept it with a smile."
The second lady was still grieving for the sadness on her face just now, but now that she got such a bird, she immediately smiled.
Qingwan turned her head and smiled at Mother Jin, it seems that the second lady is a straightforward character, as long as she can please her, An Guogong and his wife will naturally not record today's events on the head of the general's mansion.
Seeing that the second miss was having a good time, Qingwan quietly said goodbye and was leaving, and before leaving the house, the second miss suddenly stopped her.
"Madam, if you don't dislike it, I'm willing to be friends with you!"
The second lady's maiden name turned out to be Xiji, which is really the name of a virtuous lady, Qingwan smiled: "Qingwan has thanked Miss here, it is my honor to be Miss's friend." ”
Leaving the Anguo Mansion, he happened to run into Zi Yan who was waiting anxiously outside the mansion.
"You haven't been home, but you're going to kill us in a hurry, the letter says that your brother-in-law is all right in Sui'an, if something happens to you in the capital, how can we explain to him!"
followed Zi Yan into the carriage, Qingwan frowned and never said a word.
The mother-in-law and brother and sister-in-law of this martial family are too capable of causing trouble for her, and I don't know who sent the invitation to her house.
After making such a fuss, in the future, as a female dependant of the General's Mansion, she made friends with the court's concubine in Beijing, but it was even more difficult.
"Sister! I've heard about the Anguo Mansion, should we give the old shrew of Mrs. Qin a little color? ”
Zi Yan's words woke up Qingwan for a while, and she had to suppress and suppress Qin Pozi's arrogance, otherwise she would go out every day to make trouble, and when would she be able to live her life quietly.
Qingwan thought about it carefully, and then whispered his plan in Zi Yan's ear. Unexpectedly, Zi Yan laughed when he heard it.
"My good sister, you really have you, being your mother-in-law is really eight lifetimes of mold!"
Qingwan smiled slyly, "I will entrust you to handle this matter well, if you can't do it, I will take you to blame." ”
"Don't worry, wrap it up on me, and promise that they won't dare to go out for half a month!"
It's already time, Qingwan has just returned to the bedroom to sleep, Maoqing is a domestic maid, and she lives in the cubicle outside Qingwan's bedroom every day.
Qingwan just lay down, and then grabbed Mao Qing, "You can talk to me." ”
Mao Qing didn't agree, nor did he refuse, just walked away silently, came in with a thick futon, and spread it on the pedal in front of Qingwan's bed.
"Madame, why are you hiding it from everyone?"
Qingwan was stunned when she heard Maoqing's words, what did she hide? She didn't seem to have anything to hide from the new minions.
"Madame is pregnant, why don't you let everyone know?"
