Chapter 46: The Birthday Banquet

Mother Lin went to Shanyang, and Pei took Bai Zhi and Li to Jiang's mansion for a birthday banquet, as for He's, she didn't let people tell her at all, if it weren't for Du Lan, the Jiang family wouldn't have sent a post to the Du family, so naturally they wouldn't have to go over with the second room.

When they arrived at Jiang's house, the maidservant led them to sit down in the big flower hall in the inner hall, Mrs. Jiang Yu was smiling and talking with several ladies, and when she saw them coming, she just pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said a few dry words to her, and then accompanied Mrs. Sima to the side to eat tea.

Pei's face suddenly lengthened, he was also the in-law of the Jiang family, and the Yu family didn't even give her any face, and treated her like this in front of many officials and family wives, obviously not looking at the Du family.

She gritted her teeth and sat down to the side, watched Du Lan come over with a smiling face, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Your mother-in-law is really scheming, she wants to make money from me over there, but here she is putting up a shelf to practice the Du family to go to Mrs. Huang Gao." ”

Du Lan said that those silver coins were not what the Yu family wanted to give to the Du family, or Du Lan said for a long time, and the Yu family ordered someone to give it to her with a cold face, and even left a message: "I don't believe in the Du family, I just saw that you said that the carpet was so good, so I believed it once, and saved Da Lang to come back and say that I refused to let you take care of the affairs of the house." ”

The Yu family didn't want to pay attention to the Du family from beginning to end, but the Pei family didn't know about it.

She could only smile bitterly and said: "Ah Niang, there are many guests today, Ah Jia said that he couldn't be busy, and he didn't mean to snub you." ”

Pei Shi looked at Yu's side, and saw that the few people sitting were all the ladies of the mansion with heads and faces in the Jiangning Mansion, and Mrs. Sima Huang, Mrs. Zhu Si of the Changshi Mansion, and several ladies of the family were also there, so she couldn't help but go over to talk to them.

Speaking of old acquaintances, when Du Laoshangshu was still there, these people were all frequent visitors to Du Mansion, and she often went to Sima Mansion for banquets, but she has moved less over the years, and she can only meet at the Jiang family's banquet, after all, the Du family is down.

But now it's different, her son understands Yuan, and he was recommended by his master to go to Chang'an Taixue, and his career is promising in the future, the Du family is going to get better again, and these ladies are not confused, so they won't snub her anymore.

She got up and was about to go over to the other seat, and she was already thinking about how to talk to Mrs. Huang and them, so as to give Du Huo a long face.

But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Du Lan, with a bitter face: "A-Niang will stay here, I'll talk to A-Niang." ”

Pei Shi was so angry that his lips turned white: "Why, you can't look down on the Du family, you are the daughter of the Du family!" ”

Du Lan sighed helplessly: "Ah Niang is afraid that she doesn't know, but now there is a lot of rumors outside, saying that San Lang took Xiao's dowry to curry favor with Lang Jun of Chang'an's right servant, and was seen by that Lang Jun, not only did he not ask for those items, but also asked Sima Fu Liulang to send them to San Lang, saying that he looked down on this kind of person who lived by a woman's marriage, and insulted Sven!" ”

"Now everyone in these mansions already knows, and today the Ah family still asks about it......" The more Du Lan said, the quieter his voice became, and he was already angry and annoyed in his heart, such a matter was actually known to everyone, I don't know if Du Huo was faint, and now the Du family can't raise their heads in front of these people at all!

Pei Shi was taken aback: "How could it be, why did it become like this?" ”

She hurriedly turned around and asked Mother Lin: "Is there such a thing?" Hasn't Xiao's dowry not moved yet? ”

Mother Lin didn't dare to talk, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, it was said that Huang Liulang sent someone to send something to San Langjun, but I don't know what it is." ”

Pei Shi looked at the banquet over there again, only to feel that the eyes of those ladies looking at this side were full of disdain, and the Yu family didn't even look at them, they were angry and anxious for a while, what is this called, obviously this is their Du family's family matter, why did it become their laughing stock.

She gritted her teeth and sat back again, it didn't matter, when the carpet and wool brought back by Shanyang were sold for silver money, and San Lang was sent to Chang'an Taixue, and the Xiao family girl was retired, everything was over, and at that time they would no longer remember these, but only the glory of the Du family.

It's just that then she began to be silent, no longer looking at the Yu family, and not talking to other women around her, her face was always not good-looking, she suffered such a great humiliation at her daughter-in-law's house, if she wasn't afraid that she would lose face if she left now, she would have been unable to sit down for a long time.

"Lan Niang, why don't you greet the guests and sit here?" Someone came over and talked to Du Lan with a smile, and saw Pei Shi again, "Hey, this is not the wife of the in-laws, why do you sit here, come and sit here, this tea soup is also cold, so people change it to a hot one." ”

Pei Shi looked over blankly, and it took a long time to recognize it: "This is ...... Mrs. Jiang. ”

Third Mrs. Jiang Duan smiled without her eyebrows: "Mrs. Du still remembers me, but it's really no better, when Lan Niang married before, we met at the wedding banquet." ”

It was rare for Pei Shi to talk to her so enthusiastically, and his interest was a little higher: "Yes, the third lady is the most enthusiastic, I remember it clearly." ”

Duan invited her to sit on the couch beside him, and ordered someone to bring hot tea and soup up, and then they began to talk diligently.

“…… The eldest lady is so blessed, now Ling Lang is the Xie Yuanlang of Jiangning Mansion, I heard that I will go to Chang'an for some time, and next year's spring will be able to title the gold list, we will have one more young man, and Jiangning Mansion will also have a good story. ”

Pei Shi loved to listen to this, and listened to it from head to toe, and most of the grievances were gone, but he still pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head: "Don't dare, don't dare, where do you know what will happen next." ”

Duan looked at her with a smile, and said, "I heard that the house just married a new daughter-in-law, which is also a great joy, why don't you send a post, and let us be happy." ”

Marrying a merchant girl is a great event! Pei grinned, but he didn't hear it.

"Not to mention the blessing of the eldest lady, the lady who taught Langjun is all good, I heard that the lady also has a niece in the Du Mansion, I don't know what age it is?" How to listen to what Duan's mouth said, how to listen to it.

Pei Shi was also on guard, and said with a smile: "I will be eighteen in the next year, and I am not too young." ”

"Yo, do you have a family? In Jiangning Mansion, eighteen is not small. Duan said in surprise, "Listening to Lan Niang, she is both talented and beautiful, and she is a well-educated lady from a family, I like it all." ”

At this time, Pei's was really difficult to talk to, so he had to laugh dryly: "I haven't decided on a person yet, I'm afraid that I will wronged her, and I have been unable to pick her." "She can't say that her son has already eaten and wiped it clean.

Duan Shi stepped closer: "This is really a coincidence, I have a good family affair here, and it is very suitable for my niece Ling, it is a pair made in heaven......"
