After finishing the gossip about the Chengjun Mansion and the Zhao family, Fang Jingxuan went to the front again. Leaving a few grandparents to drink tea and chat.

He also said her limited gossip: "Princess Yujun can be regarded as a matchmaker, and I don't know how to be busy this time." ”

Xia Lin's family immediately pursed their lips, "I went to Gong just now and came back, and I saw the gloomy and dissatisfied face of Princess Yujun, and secretly scolded the mother-in-law next to her, 'I really don't know what to do', it is estimated that this matchmaker, no one has received this love." ”

Linglong also said the latest gossip she heard, "I went outside just now, and I thought this was a happy event?" Is the funeral about the same? Most of the guests whispered to each other. The Zhao family didn't have a smiling face, so strange. ”

Ruqing smiled impatiently, and suddenly became worried about Zhao Lin's future.

It was also in Fang Jingxuan's courtyard that Ruqing saw two cousins who she hadn't seen for a long time. The eldest cousin Zhao Qin is seven or nine years old, has married a wife, and has given birth to a son, and his wife Zhu is the daughter of Imperial Physician Zhu. Although he is not outstanding, he is also thoughtful and quiet. There is nothing bad about Ruqing.

The second cousin Zhao Jin has not yet married a wife, and he is quite friendly with Ruqing. often find excuses to talk to Ruqing to relieve boredom.

But at this time, He Shi was not very comfortable, holding his stomach and beckoning to Ruqing, "Maybe I ate too much this morning, now I have some support, you help me go out for a walk." ”

Ruqing smiled apologetically at Zhao Jin, "I'm sorry, second cousin, I'll miss you first." Then carefully help He to go out and walk around.

Ruqing led He out of the room, turned around the courtyard, and sat down under a rockery.

At this time, He's stomach no longer hurt, and said to Ruqing: "There are many guests outside, but there are no people in the inner courtyard, it's really strange." ”

Ruqing looked around, only to realize that something was wrong, "No, there are really few female dependents." "Even if the Zhao family declines, there will always be relatives.

Just thinking about it, I saw a few women walking outside the door of the weeping flowers, dressed in luxury, the first one was Zhao Ziying, the princess of Yujun, and the woman with her was the mother of today's bride, Wen, and the other women looked familiar, it was actually Yun and other noble ladies who had a fate.

He also spotted this group of people, got up with Ruqing's hand, and when this group approached, he lightly lowered his jaw to greet him. Ruqing did the same, retreated behind He, and only blessed herself slightly, smiling.

Princess Yujun's expression was cold, her chest was a little anxious, and her face was not very good, slightly blue. After seeing Aunt He's sister-in-law, she barely squeezed out a smile and said lightly: "Mrs. Fang, Miss Fang, it's windy outside, why don't you stay in the house?" ”

Wen seemed to have just discovered them at this time, and also followed: "Yes, it's windy outside, Mrs. Fang has to keep her body tight." If we suffer from the cold in our house, we can't afford to be responsible. After a pause, he stared at He's stomach with malicious intent, "This belly, I'm afraid it's been six months, Mrs. Fang really has a skill." It is really admirable that such a big belly can manage the inner courtyard properly. ”

He gently stroked his stomach and smiled faintly: "Madame has won the award." ”

Ruqing couldn't get used to hearing the strange voice of Wen's yin and yang, and replied sweetly: "Thank you for your concern, my sister-in-law's health is really not good, and she has to take care of my eldest brother inside and out, and she has to take care of me, and she has to take care of me, so she is really tired enough." If Lin'er's cousin is not as good as Lin'er's cousin, there are not only many people serving in the Chengjun Palace, but I heard that there are also many girls in the cousin-in-law's house, and Lin'er's cousin is married, and there are so many people waiting. It's enviable. ”

He almost got angry when he heard this, but Wen was so angry that he raised his eyebrows, but he couldn't attack again, because Ruqing was smiling and sincere, not like sarcasm at all, plus there were others present, so he had to endure his anger and say to Yun and the others, "Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Luo, it's not early, the meal has already started, let's go over first, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

Yun nodded and said to He, "Mrs. Fang, the four girls should also go over to eat together." ”

He Shi said lightly, "No, we don't seem to be very popular with the Zhao family!" Let's leave. ”

*

Ruqing didn't expect He to leave in a dignified manner, a little dumbfounded.

Participating in the feast, giving gifts, and leaving without even eating, this is a great disrespect to the host, and it is a matter of great loss, and it is a matter of losing face, and it is a little slow to follow Ruqing's pace.

He Shi took her hand and pinched her hand, Ruqing didn't know why, but had to leave with He Shi.

The Wen family didn't expect the He family to say that he would leave, and he was surprised and embarrassed. But he couldn't let go of his son and stopped He, and his mind turned around a few times, and he just watched He leave.

When he came to Fang Jingxuan's courtyard, He Shi said directly to the old lady: "Old lady, I want to go back first." ”

The old lady asked, "This is about to start." Not planning to eat before leaving? ”

He said lightly: "No one welcomes us." ”

The old lady looked at Ruqing with puzzled eyes. Ruqing bit her lip and struggled with her thoughts before she said: "The eldest lady of the Zhao family doesn't welcome us, just now, and she talked to her sister-in-law in a weird way." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows, and the other party respectfully proclaimed: "Since no one welcomes us, what are you doing here?" Let's all go back. ”

Fang Jingxuan's face was embarrassed, and he grabbed the old lady, "Mother, it's all here, let's have dinner before leaving, otherwise ----"

He Shi said to her gently: "Auntie doesn't have to worry about anything, if someone blames you, you can say it bluntly." You don't have to hide it for me. ”

Fang Jingxuan hurriedly said: "Having said that, my mother-in-law has always favored the old family, this time, this time it will be ----."

He Shi said lightly: "Auntie has done well enough in the past, has she been half a good deal?" ”

Fang Jingxuan froze.

The old lady said at this time: "Zhili's daughter-in-law is right, think about how old you are, even have grandchildren, why do you still care about this and that, look at this person's face and that person's eyes?" You're not tired, I'm tired of it. From now on, you can do whatever you want, as long as you hold on to it, afraid that they will say it? No matter how powerful the old woman of the Zhao family is, she is only as fast as her tongue, and she will not lose a piece of meat with you. Learn from your niece, be thick-skinned, and have your own benefits. ”

I was really shot while hiding!

Ruqing pursed her lips, but did not refute.

Fang Jingxuan was enlightened by the old lady's lesson, and his face improved slightly, but he was still a little hesitant, the old lady ignored her, and said some reason to listen to her, and then left with He Shi and Ruqing.

Zhili had already sat down with everyone in the front yard at this time, waiting for the feast to begin. At this time, I heard the report, and this Bacheng didn't know if it was blind, or what, but in front of the public, he said in a straightforward accent like pouring beans and Zhili, "Master Rin." Madame sent me to inform you, Madame and the old lady, the four girls are already waiting for you outside. Would you like to go home together? ”

Zhili was surprised and said: "I haven't eaten this meal yet, they have already eaten it?" ”

Bacheng said: "No, the old ladies and they all left hungry." ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the guests next to them, and they all asked what was going on.

Bacheng had a difficult face, but he couldn't stand the questions of the guests, so he had to tell the truth with a bitter face, "In fact, it's not very clear what the situation is." It's just that Sister Xiqing only said that Mrs. Zhao gave our wife a cold bench, and also said some unpleasant things. Madame was so angry that she left without even eating. ”

Zhili suddenly changed his face, stood up in a bluff, and scolded: "The Zhao family is really too deceitful. Then ignoring the surprise and inquiries of others, he brushed his sleeves away.

"Sister-in-law, let's leave like this, isn't it?" This is a big loss for the Zhao family.

He smiled softly, just looking at the old lady, "Old lady, what do you think?" ”

The old lady half-squinted, raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and disagreed, "Anyway, it won't be our family who will lose face, what are you afraid of?" Then he took the opportunity to teach Ruqing a lesson, "Qing girl, you remember, as a cultivated boudoir daughter, no matter who you are, in front of others, you must give enough face, which is the most basic principle and cultivation of being a man." But for some people, it is necessary to let him lose face to know the stakes. Do you understand? ”

Ruqing nodded, why didn't she understand these truths? It's just that if it were me, I guess I wouldn't have the courage to walk away. I can only stuff my breath in my stomach and secretly swear that I will never associate with this person in the future.

The old lady said again: "This time your sister-in-law did a very good job. This Zhao family really doesn't know the height of the sky. Although our family is nothing, they are always their guests and in-laws, and they are so lazy and dare to be sarcastic, which really shouldn't be. You'll have to give some color. Otherwise, they think we are easy to bully. ”

Ruqing silently added another sentence: Blatantly snubbing her in-laws, you can imagine what kind of life Aunt Fang Jingxuan had in the Zhao family. The old lady is avenging her daughter.

*

It is estimated that the Zhao family is really exhausted, Zhao Lin's dowry is not rich, and the dowry given by King Chengjun is also quite thin, compared to the bride price sent to King Chengjun by Yongning Bofu before, it is a sensation. But when the Chengjun Wangfu was sent to the Zhao family's mansion, it seemed to be pleasant.

Ruqing didn't have a chance to meet the new son-in-law of the Zhao family, Li Jian, and only listened to some general information from the mouths of others, anyway, the Zhao family really lost face when they married their daughter this time.

If Ruqing admired He's way of doing things very much before, then such a performance in the Zhao family, and the subsequent series of cascading effects, admired this sister-in-law even more.

It is said that the He family was annoyed by the Zhao family's wife, and after the news spread that the Fang family left together, those Zhao family guests who were good friends with the He family also got up to say goodbye. The Zhao family panicked at this time, but it was too late, and it was too late to keep this one, but it was too late to keep the other. After a while, most of the guests left. After the old man of the Zhao family inquired about the reason for the matter, he was furious, and of course, the eldest lady of the Zhao family would not have a good time.

And after this incident, it also proves the influence of the He family in these non-commissioned officer families, although the He family is only the daughter of a foreign marriage, but it is still close to the He family, and it cannot tolerate half of the blasphemy of outsiders.

After this happened, Ruqing's status was raised again.
