Chapter 46 Connections
The fact that Fu Duoduo was promoted to a noble concubine soon spread to all corners of the mansion.
Most of the people who can survive in the Yu Mansion are some human spirits, seeing that Fu Duoduo was promoted from a humble Chongxi concubine to a noble concubine, on her way back to Fushou Yuan from the hall, there were many maids and women intercepted, constantly saying flattering words, in vain to be able to catch a sentence or two.
Fu Duoduo smiled one by one.
After all, there are people in the government and the opposition who do things smoothly, and the same is true for the house.
After the events of the past few days, Fu Duoduo has long had such thoughts in his heart, and when he was worried about having no way out, he was sent to the door.
However, most of the people who came to congratulate were the most low-ranking slaves.
But even so, Fu Duoduo did not feel a sense of loss, but was very relieved.
Because those stewards or maids with real power, with her current situation, are absolutely unattainable, too intimate will make the people above think that she has some intentions, and then take precautions, it is better to only nod your head and do things more smoothly, and those with the lowest level, Fu Duoduo does not have so many scruples, and some gossip, but the lowest level is more well-informed.
After greeting one or two, Fu Duoduo met Mrs. Chen, who worked on the stove, she was an old man in the house, and the family was born in the family, her husband Chen Shun was in the stable to watch the horses, and her son Chen Fugui was responsible for guarding the main gate, and the daughter-in-law did not pass the door, but she also got the favor of the eldest wife, and pointed to Tao Xiaohong in the needlework room as his wife.
But people have more or less so pursuits, and who doesn't want to get a better job for themselves?
Mrs. Chen said chatteringly: "Auntie, this woman is like this, she follows her father at home, marries her husband, and lives her life as her duty, which is also perfect." But people always have three disasters and eight difficulties, maybe when you are a girl, it will be smooth, and when you get to your in-laws' house...... Hehe, there are always some unhappy, just like my sister, before she got married, she was the pearl of the family, but as a daughter-in-law and a wife, life is really not good, but her mother's family is strong, a little trouble, no matter how the mother-in-law does not want to see, she will be afraid of a few points, and it is not good to be blamed, this is not the same as my other sister, the mother's family does not care, and the family affairs are weak, so that the girl died of anger in the mother-in-law's house, and every time I think of it, I sigh for her. ”
After speaking, Mrs. Chen secretly glanced at Fu Duoduo, and saw that she didn't react too much, but just said "um" gently, afraid that she didn't realize her deeper meaning, Mrs. Chen said again: "Grandma, do you know? When the eldest lady entered the door, there were four rooms to accompany her, and each of them did things neatly, and soon gained a firm foothold in Yufu and laid a very solid foundation, unlike the eldest aunt who was a maid with an open face, nothing, and now she will only visit God and worship Buddha all day long......"
"Phew! What do you say on your aunt's big day? Before Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu, who was similar to her in one year and had a rounder face, and was also working in the kitchen, took a sip and interjected dissatisfiedly: "Why are you mentioning her!" What if it's tainted with bad luck? ”
Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhu's interruption, but she also knew that it was indeed a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, in order to avoid Fu Duoduo from having a bad heart and ruining a good thing, she slapped her mouth a few times, and said apologetically: "Auntie, please don't be surprised, it's the slave and the maid who are talking nonsense." ”
Fu Duoduo knew the intention of Mrs. Chen to say these words, which was nothing more than that she had no mother's family to rely on, and there was no one to contact in the house, so she couldn't be sure that the final outcome would be to end up depressed, or to live with her aunt by worshipping Buddha and praying to God.
But if you know it, if you say it so clearly, it will be completely tasteless.
She doesn't want a slave who is carrying the banner of her own good all day long and doing something against her will behind her back, which not only can't help her, but will also seriously drag her back, and even affect her.
It's just that at this moment, she couldn't understand the refusal, so she could only say euphemistically: "Mrs. Chen's words are not unreasonable, as a woman is like this, filial piety to parents at home, marriage to conform to in-laws, all her life is a 'shun' word, shun shun should be a life, filial piety to the elders, isn't this the reason?" Zuo Yan took care of him, and his words were vague, but he clearly revealed a meaning, that is, she couldn't do anything about her own affairs.
Mrs. Chen didn't plan to let Fu Duoduo agree to her own affairs immediately, she also knew that Fu Duoduo did not have such power, and what she said today was just a temporary impression that she remembered that she was such a person, and she would think of her if she had anything in the future.
"Grandma is very right, that's the reason." Mrs. Chen was busy responding to the road.
Mrs. Zhu was very disdainful, and secretly said that Mrs. Chen was a sycophant, but she was also very flattering and echoed Fu Duoduo's words.
Regarding the subtle undercurrent between Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhu, Fu Duo is more or less aware of it, after all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although she was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Chen's words and behaviors, looking at the crooked slave in front of her, she knew that only Mrs. Chen's foundation was better, and it was convenient to inquire about anything, followed by Mrs. Zhu, but the family origin was far less than Mrs. Chen's roots in the Yu Mansion.
After a few calculations, Fu Duoduo already has a case in his heart.
Mrs. Chen is overwhelmed, but she can be used, and Mrs. Zhu can balance Mrs. Chen, so as not to jump up and down, and get carried away for a while, and then implicate her.
After understanding it clearly, it would be in vain to stay and chatter, Fu Duoduo excused himself and said: "Thank you for coming to say hello, it's just not too early, I want to go early on the young master's side, it's not good to stay for a long time, you ......"
Mrs. Chen and the others didn't wait for Fu Duoduo to finish speaking, they immediately saluted, and the crowded crowd automatically opened a way and said, "Auntie, you go slowly." ”
Fu Duoduo nodded and said meaningfully: "I will keep your sincere congratulations in my heart." ”
As soon as these words fell, the people present couldn't help but show a bright and flattering smile.
As soon as she walked away, Yihong, the little girl who was sent by the eldest lady to send her back to Fushou Yuan, whispered dissatisfiedly: "Auntie, you have a noble status now, you don't have to deal with those inferior slaves and maids, you have lowered your identity in vain, if the eldest lady knows, she will be angry." ”
Inferior slaves?
Fu Duoduo sneered secretly.
This Yihong herself is just a third-class servant, half a catty and eight taels, do you still have the confidence to talk about others?
I don't know if what she said was the meaning of the eldest wife, or the meaning of her own figuration, daring to use her identity and the eldest wife, these two mountains to suppress her so openly and secretly. However, no matter what, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't show it, and said with a pleasant face: "When we meet, they come to say goodbye, I can't put on a stinky face, right?" ”
Yihong retorted: "The words are like this, but there is no need to talk to them so time-consumingly, the eldest lady is still waiting for the slave to reply." ”
"Oh?" Fuduoduo raised an eyebrow.
It turned out that this Yihong blamed herself for wasting her time.
Some people are like this, taking chicken feathers as arrows and taking themselves too seriously.
Yihong is just a third-class maid, and she rarely has the opportunity to show her face in front of the eldest lady, this time let her send herself back, the reason is today's incident, including Zhang's mother, there are many slaves punished, and there is no one to spare, otherwise it would have to be a second-class maid to send her, how could Yihong have this opportunity in normal times? It's really a nose kick in the face.
Fu Duoduo knew that if he didn't put on the majesty of his aunt and grandmother to suppress and suppress her, maybe he would climb on his head, and then those slaves who were used to seeing the wind and the rudder would not be the same? So, Fu Duoduo stopped, lowered his face and said, "Since you don't like to send me trouble and waste your time, you can go back first!" I walked back slowly, this time this little road in Fushouyuan, Aunt Ben and Grandma are not unrecognizable! ”
Yihong turned around and said in surprise: "Grandma, what are you doing here?" ”
Fu Duoduo sneered: "What are you doing? Let you go back first, so as not to make you both time-consuming and laborious. ”
Yihong frowned and said, "Grandma, don't make trouble, let's go!" The tone seemed to think that Fu Duoduo was playing with a child's temper, impatiently urging.
Fu Duoduo simply sat on the stone on the side of the road, clasped his hands on his chest, and said, "I'm just making trouble, what can you do to me?" Seeing Yihong's face full of astonishment, looking at her as if she didn't know Fu Duoduo, Fu Duoduo continued to say ruthlessly: "My wife treats me well, not only promotes me as a concubine, but also puts on a big banquet to tell my neighbors, but you are in the name of the eldest wife, all kinds of difficulties, what do you want to do?" Is there someone who has made you so insulting to the reputation of the eldest lady? ”
Yihong panicked, she just wanted to send Fu Duoduo back as soon as possible, and go back early to make a difference, so that she might be able to get the favor of the eldest lady and promote her position, but it was not as Fu Duoduo said! immediately shouted injustice: "Auntie, you don't have to mess with a good person!" There are no slaves! ”
"No?" Fu Duoduo snorted coldly: "Don't tell me, you don't have the slightest bit of selfishness!" ”
After all, Yihong is young, and she is a very inward-looking person, under the persecution of Fu Duoduo who pretends to be like this, her heart is extremely weak, and she squeaks very weakly to make excuses for herself, "Slave, slave and maid are just better errands to do well for their wives, no ...... There is nothing selfish. ”
Seeing that Yihong's speech was not fluent like this, Fu Duoduo knew that he had pierced her heart, and continued: "No? If not, then why are you so unconfident in speaking? Aren't you a thief? ”
