Chapter 69: Shang Yuan 1
"Why?" Wei Man asked, "What is the bad relationship between Aunt Zhang and Aunt Luo?" ”
"Well, that's because ......" Xia Lan thought for a while before she thought about it and replied: "Aunt Zhang is a maid who has served the old marquis since she was a child, and she is the son of the house, while Aunt Luo is the maid of Mrs. Tai's dowry......"
"What do you say? You said Aunt Zhang," Wei Man asked in surprise, "Isn't she Mrs. Tai's dowry maid?" ”
"No," Xia Lan hurriedly shook her head and said, "Aunt Zhang is the old marquis's personal maid, because she is very liked by the old lady, she will be raised as an aunt." ”
One represents the old lady, the other represents the lady, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Luo, from the moment they were raised as aunts, they should have a completely hostile relationship.
Wei Man frowned slightly, lost in thought.
……
The fifteenth day of the first month.
Night falls, in front of the Mochizuki Tower on Suzaku Street.
A row of carriages with the mark of the town and country government slowly stopped.
A group of ladies and ladies who were greeting at the door hurriedly greeted them when they saw it.
"Oh, it can be regarded as Mrs. Huang, you are looking forward to it," a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old lady with a delicate smile said with a smile while saluting Mrs. Tai who had just gotten off the carriage: "I'm afraid that your frame is blocked at the street and you can't get in, I was still discussing with Second Mrs. Leng just now, and I want to send some people to dredge it for you, but I didn't expect that as soon as these words fell, your carriage stopped at the door......"
"That's Mrs. Liu from Jingzhao Yin Mansion......" Mother Wu stood beside Wei Ya, Wei Xian, Wei Man, Wei Feng and Wei Yun, and whispered to the sisters: "...... Today's security in the capital is the responsibility of Lord Liu......"
"Humph! Listening to her tone, I don't know, I thought she would be able to mobilize officers and soldiers," Wei Ya said with disdain: "It's just a steproom." ”
Mother Wu couldn't help frowning when she heard Wei Ya's mean words, but after looking at Wei Ya's stubborn side face, she sighed slightly in her heart and chose to ignore it.
Today, because I will deal with many ladies and ladies, Mrs. Tai specially assigned Mother Wu to mention a few sisters, of course, the most important thing is to introduce Wei Man who has a "vague memory".
"Although Liufu does not have a title at present," Mother Wu stood in the back position of Wei Man, and continued to say softly: "The eldest lady of Liufu is the concubine of the palace, and the relationship between Concubine Liu and the Queen Mother is very good......
It turns out that there are people in the palace who can go up to heaven to listen.
Wei Man will understand, if you look at it this way, Liu Mansion is currently both powerful and powerful, no wonder Mrs. Liu's tone is so big.
"The young lady standing behind Mrs. Liu is her biological daughter, Miss Liu Wu, babbling," Wu's mother babbled suspiciously, muttering to herself: "Miss Liu San, the sister of Concubine Liu, why didn't she come today......"
Concubine Liu's sister? Wei Man thought about it, if he said this, Concubine Liu and Miss Liu San should be born to Lord Liu's original match.
"It should be sick yet," Wei Ya looked left and right cautiously, and said casually: "I heard that Liu Jinghui has been sick for several months. ”
Liu Jinghui is Miss Liu San.
"I see," Mother Wu replied with a smile, "I didn't expect Miss Liu San to be sick for so long......"
Over there, Mrs. Tai was talking to a lady who was about the same age as Mrs. Liu and looked very cool.
"That's the second lady of the Sincerity Mansion," Mother Wu said: "The Sincerity Mansion and our Zhenguo Mansion are guarding the border of Dajing...... The second master of the Sincerity Bofu is the general of the Zhenguo who is now the saint himself......"
Today's holy general, it's not simple, Wei Man sighed in his heart, although Wei Bai is also a general, but it was sealed by the first emperor, and since ancient times, he has paid attention to a son of heaven and a courtier...... From this point of view, perhaps the second master of the Sincerity Bofu is more sacred than the third master of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion.
However, sincerity Bofu? Wei Man blinked, this mansion seems to have heard of it somewhere.
Oh! That's right! Wei Man thought about it, the Miss Leng Liu, who was robbed of her marriage by Du Hongyu, the eldest lady of the Wenguo Mansion, and finally lost her life, was not born in the Sincerity Mansion.
“…… The young lady who is supporting Second Lady Leng is the fourth lady of the Sincerity Mansion," Mother Wu continued to introduce Wei Man: "The young lady standing behind Fourth Miss Leng is the biological daughter of Second Lady Leng ......"
Wei Man couldn't help but look at Miss Leng and Miss Leng Si.
Although Miss Leng Si looked closer to Second Mrs. Leng Si, Wei Man always felt that her expression and movements were a little restrained, and there was always a kind of appearance that she couldn't let go, Wei Man just looked at her twice, and then looked away.
Miss Leng is a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her whole body is full of generosity, I saw that her face was a little impatient, and she was frowning slightly and looking at the crowd around her.
I don't know why, at the first glance of Miss Leng, Weiman suddenly thought of the word "fresh".
Seeing that Wei Man seemed to be very interested in Miss Leng, Mother Wu hurriedly said a few more words and said, "...... When Miss Leng was ten years old, she went to live in a rented house outside the south of the country, but she didn't expect that this stay would be five years, and she didn't return to Beijing until the end of last year...... It is said that Miss Leng was influenced by the fierce folk customs in the south, and her behavior was a little casual...... Second Mrs. Leng is currently looking for a nurturing grandmother for Miss Leng......"
It turned out that she had been in the south for five years, Wei Man sighed, no wonder Miss Leng's temperament was different from that of the ladies in the capital.
Suddenly.
Miss Leng, who was bored looking around the crowd, turned her head and looked straight at Wei Man.
The two looked at each other.
Wei Man was stunned for a moment.
Miss Leng tilted her head slightly, scrutinizing Wei Man up and down.
Although the gaze was a little rude, strangely enough, Wei Man was not disgusted.
The maid behind Miss Leng noticed her master's gaze, she glanced up at Wei Man, hurriedly stepped forward, and whispered a few words to Miss Leng.
Thinking about it, the maid was telling Miss Leng her identity, so Wei Man showed a friendly smile and bowed slightly to Miss Leng.
Miss Leng didn't seem to expect Wei Man to be like this, her eyes lit up instantly, and in the next second, she showed a big smile towards Wei Man.
That smile, cheerful and bright, dazzling and dazzling, gave Wei Man the illusion that the toothy and smiling woman seemed to be shining all over her body, and even illuminated her heart.
If Weiman could have predicted the future, she would have burst into tears by now, but no one can predict the future......
Over there, Mrs. Tai has almost greeted the ladies of various families.
Several sisters of the Wei family stepped forward.
"This is the eldest girl in my family, the second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl, this is the fifth girl," Mrs. Tai introduced everyone one by one with a smile, and said to the five people: "Hurry up and give a few ladies a salute." ”
Wei Man and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly showed a standard smile, and saluted the ladies with an elegant posture.
After that, it was a mutual greeting between peers.
"You are the third lady of the Wei family, well, you are very different from others," Miss Leng grabbed Wei Man's hand and said with a smile: "I like you a lot, let's play together later." ”
"Okay, okay, I can't ask for it," Wei Man smiled, glanced at Mrs. Tai, and saw that Mrs. Tai bowed slightly, so he said again: "I also like Miss Leng's too." ”
"Yo, you girl with no rules, how do you talk!" Second Mrs. Leng first glanced at Miss Leng reproachfully, and then said to Mrs. Leng with a smile: "This girl is spoiled by my mother's family, and her heart is very good, just like this, she always goes straight like this, and she doesn't have the reserved ...... of her daughter's family."
"Hehe......" Mrs. Tai looked at Miss Leng lovingly, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, I think your eldest girl has a good temperament...... My three girls, it's just a little boring, it's not good, it's good now, you can complement your lively family......"
"Mrs. Huang, just comfort me," Second Mrs. Leng smiled and said, "The third lady of your family looks like a demure lady of the Hou Mansion, how can she be like my family, like a leather monkey...... You, like my mother, say that you like my big girl with a lively personality and a good job, don't you know, I'm about to be scared to death by her appearance......"
Second Mrs. Leng complained a few more words, and all the ladies inevitably praised Miss Leng again and again.
Wei Man tried her best to hold back a smile on the side, thinking to herself, I don't know if Second Mrs. Leng felt that Miss Leng had not been in the capital for five years, and she was afraid that everyone would forget her daughter, so today she would do everything possible to let Miss Leng leave an indelible impression on everyone......
Second Lady Leng's purpose was achieved, but Wei Man looked at Miss Leng's expression, which was about to explode.
Second Mrs. Leng and the ladies exchanged pleasantries for a while, feeling comfortable, she stepped forward and took Wei Man's hand, asked Wei Man's month with a smile, and learned that Miss Leng was originally a month older than Wei Man.
"It turns out that the third lady of the Wei family is a younger sister," the second lady Leng said with a kind smile: "Your sister Leng has just returned to the capital, and she has no friends, so I bother you to talk to her, don't worry, if your sister Leng bullies you, you tell me, I will teach her a hard lesson......
Before Wei Man could speak, Miss Leng pouted and complained: "Mother, such a good-looking sister, how could I bully her!" Don't worry, I'll protect her ......"
This was said by a young girl of fifteen or sixteen, who was still about the same age as her......
Mrs. Tai laughed first, and Miss Kualeng said it well.
The ladies also laughed and joked.
Weiman blushed slightly.
Second Mrs. Leng couldn't help but hold her forehead, looking like she had given up.
"Miss Leng, Miss Wei San," Mrs. Liu on the side pushed Miss Liu Wu next to her a step forward, and said with a smile: "Let's also play with my fifth miss." ”
