The Wen family's house is very far away from the Taishi's mansion, the carriage swayed for more than half an hour to arrive, listening to the sound of the rain, the spring return felt that the upper eyelids and lower eyelids were extremely eager to "have a cordial conversation", for a while she was really confused, and vaguely had a dream, which turned out to be an argument with today's host Yao Niangzi, and quarreled with a red face, and agreed not to get along with each other......

Chungui really regretted not listening to Lan Ting's persuasion, she was really not happy to come to the banquet.

Hearing that the carriage had already entered the door of the Wen family, Qingping took a closer look at the spring return, and straightened the crooked hairpin when she was napping for her grandmother, and did not forget to remind: "Grandma, cheer up quickly, your eyes are still in a trance, and you haven't woken up when you see it." ”

Chungui straightened his shoulders to cheer up, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he got out of the car in front of the hanging flower door, he bumped into a familiar face.

It is also Qingping's familiar face.

The young woman in her early twenties hurriedly came to see the Tongchun Gui, and was so shocked that the Chungui was in a hurry to help each other and return the courtesy, thinking that if this demeanor was witnessed by Sergeant Ruan, she would have to admonish her - the rules and etiquette for such a long time have been taught in vain.

This can also be called the old master of Qingping, and he is obedient to Mrs. Hou.

Although the punishment of Gao Qiong's father and son has not yet been announced, but Feng Yuqi's slander and wrongs have been clearly announced, the emperor restored the title of the Feng family, and Feng Yuqi's eldest son inherited the Marquis of Gongshun, this young woman is Feng Yuqi's eldest daughter-in-law Tao, she knows that Feng Men can avenge the snow thanks to the help of the Taishi Mansion, and she is naturally grateful for Chungui, but Chungui is younger than Mrs. Tao, and she has not yet decreed, and Mrs. Tao's first courtesy is indeed inappropriate.

"Sister Gu doesn't need to be polite to me, my mother has repeatedly instructed the Hou Ye and the concubine not to forget the kindness and help of the Taishi Mansion, but now the filial piety of the Hou Mansion has not been removed, so it is inconvenient to come to the door to thank you."

Mrs. Tao is filial piety, so naturally she didn't come to the banquet of Mrs. Yao, so she asked about it when she returned in the spring.

"It was my mother who came to Beijing from Fujian and lived in the Wen family's mansion temporarily, and I only settled the house today, so I came to pick up my mother in person." Mrs. Tao explained to Chungui while walking in: "The Tao and Wen families were originally in-laws, the Wen family is the mother's family, and Yao Niang's father-in-law is the mother's cousin, so the mother entered Beijing from Fujian, and not only had her uncle escort her along the way, but also lived here temporarily, but her mother-in-law also wanted to catch up with her mother, and specially arranged a house to invite her mother to live for a long time, and told me, although it is still inconvenient to go out, but it is the filial piety of the daughter to welcome the mother, I never thought that I just met my brother-in-law to entertain guests today, and I also heard about it earlier. ”

Chungui felt a little surprised in his heart, Mrs. Tao came to pick up her mother who came all the way to Beijing today, and she was bound to express her gratitude to Mrs. Yao, and she would not suddenly come to the door without informing the Wen family, but Mrs. Yao was going to entertain guests today, so she shouldn't be able to spare time, so why didn't she want Mrs. Tao to postpone it for a day?

While speaking, the two of them had walked to the hall in the weeping flower door under the guidance of the servant, and saw that there were two maidservants standing here, but they were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they looked like a group of childishness, and one with a round face said that it was on the order of the second grandmother to lead Mrs. Tao to see Mrs. Tao, and there was no politeness in one word, as if it was a matter of course that Mrs. Yao did not come to greet Mrs. Tao, and the other maid with a melon seed face seemed to be even more reckless, and rushed straight to say: "Gu Niangzi go to the back garden with the slave maid, the lady is late, The second grandmother couldn't greet each other in person because she was talking to the distinguished guests, and she hoped that Gu Niangzi would not be slacker. ”

When he returned in the spring, he spoke to Mrs. Tao and remained silent

Sezhen followed the maid to the verandah on the other side.

Although the mansion where Wen Shouchu and his wife live are only three, the area is not large, but the back house is extremely exquisite whether it is the porch or the pavilion decoration, and it can also be seen that the flowers and plants have been carefully planted and pruned, although it is autumn, it is still vigorous and verdant at a glance, and there is no trace of depression and decay, and there is not even a yellow leaf on the clean stone path, only to enter the garden from the moon cave door, there is cinnamon fragrance, and the clusters of colorful chrysanthemums are decorated with gorgeous garden scenery like spring, and the rain and fog outside the verandah are hazy, It doesn't feel bleak.

Chun Gui didn't talk to the maidservant, but Qingping asked with a smile: "I don't know what other guests Mrs. Yao has invited to today's banquet?" ”

"There are none, only the on the right servant of the ministry."

This is the second time that the sharp-faced maid has directly excluded Chungui from the "distinguished guest" with words.

Qingping was more steady, not because the master was despised and indignant, she only smiled and said: "Yao Niangzi came to the Taishi Mansion to invite her in person, although it was just an ordinary casual gathering, I didn't expect it to be really humble." ”

The little maid of the Wen family really didn't have much heart, and she couldn't hear Qingping's words, so she raised her pointed cheeks and said: "My second grandmother has always disliked lively entertainment, and the officials and relatives who have made good friends are all elegant and quiet ladies, like Xu Niangzi, but the concubine of Zhangzhou Xumen, the husband's family Shenmen, is the first-class family of Fuzhou Mansion." ”

Qingping was snubed because of Mrs. Tao and Chungui, and she really couldn't get used to the arrogance of Mrs. Yao, and had the heart to rob the Bai Wen family maid a few more words, but after being lightly glanced at by Chungui, Qingping immediately held back her resentment.

The spring return is because of the four characters of Fuzhou Shenmen, and the mood is even more like falling to the bottom.

Although it was an accident that could not be transferred to Fuzhou Shenmen, but as soon as Chungui heard this place and this surname, she would be sad about her father's death, she did not want to deal with Fuzhou Shenmen again, if she knew early in the morning that the Yao family also invited the female dependents of Shen Shilang's mansion today, she would definitely refuse to invite - Shen Shi, the right attendant of the ministry, is the father of Shen Hong, who was the prefect of Datong, so Shen Hong and his father passed the Taiyuan Township Examination together, so they knew each other, Unexpectedly, due to the death of the Empress Dowager, the spring of the following year was delayed, and Shen Hong was ordered by his father to return to his ancestral hometown of Fuzhou, and invited his father to accompany him, and his father readily agreed.

This time, he was separated from his wife and daughter forever.

During the celebration banquet of Lanting Sanyuan and the first, the female dependents of the Shen family also came to the Taishi Mansion to congratulate them, but Chungui deliberately alienated them, so he just took a look and found an excuse to avoid it, and he didn't make trouble which female dependents came from the Shen family, and he didn't have the slightest impression of the.

Today's drinking talk seems to be inevitable, and I don't know if the Yao family has intentions, even if Chun Gui doesn't want to deal with the Shen family anymore, but I think that about Yao's gourd, it is still necessary to see what evil medicine is contained in it.

The verandah leads directly to a flower pavilion, one side faces the water, one side can enjoy the chrysanthemum garden, today is to enjoy the autumn chrysanthemum, the banquet table is set on the side facing the chrysanthemum garden, at this time, of course, there is no delicacies and delicacies, the high table is placed with all kinds of fresh fruits, this head is a small few, two young women in beautiful clothes are drinking tea and chatting, one is Yao's, one can only be Xu's.

Seeing that Chungui had arrived at the Flower Pavilion, Yao got up to greet him.

With a smile on his face, I don't know if it was the preconceived idea of Chungui, or Yao's attitude really changed, and Chungui didn't see the sincere enthusiasm in Yao's eyes, but only Yao's makeup today

Rong seems to be particularly exquisite, the chrysanthemums embroidered on the horse-faced skirt can be described as ingenious, this skirt, I'm afraid it is worth a hundred taels of silver.

"The lady can be regarded as here, I should have greeted her in person, and it is not good to leave the here alone, I am indeed snub to Gu Niangzi, and I hope that Gu Niangzi will not blame." Yao Shi took Chungui's hand and led her to sit down, a pair of eyes with a twinkle in the smile thin, but the corners of his lips rose up, floating on the surface of enthusiasm.

Chungui didn't care if Yao's sincerity was to her, but she couldn't pretend to be ignorant, saying that she didn't know the etiquette of personally inviting her, and even if Yao's really couldn't get away, she could only ask the servants and maids to treat them as guests, and the reasonable way should be to instruct the housekeepers and servants in the house, at least a character like a first-class maid to come forward, where is there a reason to casually send a reckless maid to welcome guests?

It is also impossible to complain directly, this can only show that he lacks education and is not in line with the way of social interaction, and spreading it will disgrace Sergeant Ruan, the teacher, and Chun Gui can only respond with a hidden needle in Mianli.

She also raised the corners of her mouth, floating on the surface of enthusiasm: "Mrs. Yao is busy entertaining guests, and even Mrs. Tao is relatives and friends in Mrs. Tao's family can't welcome her, how can I not understand the difficulties of Mrs. Yao?" ”

The corners of Yao's lips twitched slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Although the Tao and Wen families are in-laws, the Wen family has always been at odds with the Wei family, although Feng Yuqi has cleared the charge of rebellion, and the Tao family has become the wife of Gongshun Hou, but Feng Yuqi can't stop the decline of the Gongshun Hou Mansion when he is alive, and his son doesn't want to make a comeback, and Tao's mother is not the second master's aunt, Tao's father's branch now completely depends on the long house, why does she need to be courteous to Tao? The Gu family is really from a broken family, and he naively thinks that the Tao family is now more noble than the Wen family's daughters now that he has become Mrs. Hou?

But Yao can't declare such an idea no matter what.

She was dumbfounded, took a breath slowly, and then maintained the corners of her mouth and continued to rise: "Gu Niangzi didn't blame me, this is Xu Niangzi, although I have known her for a short time, but I hit it off at first sight, Xu Niangzi's husband Jun Shen Lang, and Zhao Xiu is also the same year, elected as Shu Jishi, and now he is watching politics in the Hanlin Academy, speaking of Xu Niangzi and Gu Niangzi are also very fateful, I just heard Xu Niangzi talk about it, only to know that Ling Zun and Xu Niangzi's father Weng are close friends." ”

Chun Gui understood that the Xu family was really Shen Hong's daughter-in-law.

If you want to talk about Shen Shi's grandson who was born in Jinshi this year...... Isn't it Shin Qilang Shin Wen-so? This is really a bad fate that makes people cry and laugh.

It turned out that when Chunhui's father set off for Fujian, he mentioned to his wife, saying that his friend Shen Hong's third son Shen Wenxiu was three years older than Chungui, and Shen Hong intended to marry the Gu family.

How do you know that she died unfortunately in Fuzhou, when Shen Hong sent Gu's father's body back to Fenyang, there was Shen Wenxiu with him, Chungui's mother Li originally thought that Shen Hong still had the intention of marrying, so he discussed with Chungui, saying that only their widows and orphans were left in the family, and it was so difficult to recruit sons-in-law.

However, Shen Hong did not mention the marriage from beginning to end, at that time, the mother and daughter had not been forced into a desperate situation, and the Li family said that since the Shen family had no faith because of the death of her husband, it can be seen that it is not a reliable family, and this matter is not mentioned.

Chungui very much agrees with his mother's proposition.
