Chapter 202: Earl's Court Banquet 1 (note)
I thought that the second room would be grateful to Dade, but I didn't want Liu's mother to come back with the fabric.
"The slave maid saw the third girl at that time, and the third girl said that she would accompany the second lady in the house, thank the lady for her kindness, and the fabric was not needed, so she asked the slave and maid to bring it back." Liu's mother replied.
Kong sneered, "Empty and ambitious, it's best for her to be so ambitious all her life and not be able to ask for me." ”
waved her hand to let Liu's mother put away the fabric, "Don't give it up, I don't know what to lift." ”
Mother Liu helped explain, "The second lady has always respected the lady all these years, the third girl is young, and the slave maid didn't see the second lady when she just passed, which is also the third girl's own master." ”
"The little one didn't learn well, the big one didn't teach well, you don't have to help her explain, in the end, it was from a small family, what does the concubine know, I don't care about something born from a concubine." Kong's mouth said that he didn't care, but the words he could say were difficult to hear, and Liu's mother knew that Mrs. was hating people.
On the other side of the second room, Ruan Shi listened to the grandmother next to him talk about this, and looked at his daughter who was playing with the handkerchief in her hand with her head down disapprovingly, but finally said nothing.
Son Chunyu left halfway through the participation, and her daughter was angry in her heart, she couldn't force her daughter to bow her head anymore, in case she was like her son again, she didn't have to live.
Xie Yuanniang heard about this, but she could understand Sister Yu's style, if she was not such a character, she would not have made a murderous move in her previous life.
Xie Wenhui was worried when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she still went to the second room, first asked about Ruan's condition, and when Sister Yu sent her out, she pulled Sister Yu to talk.
"Do you hate your aunt in your heart?"
"Sister, I didn't."
"I watched you grow up, and now you have to have a relationship with your big sister?" What Xie Wenhuisi and Xie Yuanniang said, they finally didn't want to be estranged between the two rooms, "Mother's side has always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, Xie Mansion has broken bones and tendons in the two rooms, no matter what time it is, it is a family, and the closest one is us, I have also heard some about the eldest brother, it has happened now and it can't be changed, the eldest sister is here to compensate you, you don't hate your eldest aunt." ”
Sister Yu shook her head, "Big sister, I'm really not angry. I don't blame the eldest aunt for this, the eldest brother originally liked martial arts or not literature, but he didn't say it for the sake of his father and mother, and now he is leaving, which is just a reason for him to speak as a matter of course, how can he blame the eldest aunt. ”
Xie Wenhui held her hand, "I know that our sister Yu understands things best, and thank you for thinking like this, big sister remembers it in her heart." ”
Sister Yu's face was slightly red, and she sent the person to the small garden, and watched the person pass the corner gate, and then turned back.
Xie Wenhui went to Jing'anju again, and mentioned that she had just come back from the second room, she couldn't help but persuade, "My father and my second uncle are brothers, and I want to be brothers when I fight tigers, and my mother just can't get used to seeing my second uncle, so don't hurt people too much." Don't talk about it, I just can't make my father feel cold. ”
The last sentence blocked Kong's words to refute, she didn't care about the sidelines, but she cared about her husband's attitude, "I know about this." ”
Mother can not be angry, Xie Wenhui is already very happy, and he didn't say anything more, for fear that his mother would be annoyed, but he would get back.
In the evening, after Father Xie came back and listened to Sister Yu's absence, he didn't say anything.
The days flew by, and in a blink of an eye it was the tenth day of the fourth month, the birthday of the old lord, and the whole street in front of the Earl's Court was lined up by horse-drawn carriages all the way to the corner of the street in the early morning.
The Xie family is not from a high background, and they can only be lined up with a low status, and even the female dependents are still welcomed in from the corner gate, Xie Yuanniang's sisters follow the side of the Kong family, although they are dressed with brilliance and charm, but in such a group of people, there is always a sense of standing out from the crowd.
Xie Yuanniang didn't care, her mind was calm, Xie Wenhui also felt that the situation in front of her was temporary, and worried, and even had the confidence to change such a style, only Kong's face tightened, until he was taken to the flower hall where the ladies were sitting, and only a smile came out.
In the past, the Kong family participated in the banquet, mostly sitting with the princess of the county and others, although Father Xie was only a minister with no power, at least he was a second-grade, which is like now he is only a fifth-grade principal, to be able to come to the banquet, it is infinite glory to others, but it is a shame for the Kong family, but she can't refuse, and she doesn't understand how the Earl's Mansion will send a post to the house.
Most of the people sitting in the flower hall are low-status people, and Kong Shi is not very familiar with these people on weekdays, so after sitting down, he drinks tea by himself, and does not talk to people sitting on the left and right.
There are also many little girls like the Xie sisters, and some of the ladies even brought five with them, and they seem to have done their best to dress up, but they are from a small family, they have no background, and they have no jewelry and dresses that they can handle, which is really worse than the subordinates of the Earl's Court.
This group of people got together, naturally there was no style of the noble family, to the point that some of them were like the seven aunts and eight aunts in the street, speaking one voice over another, and the excitement of being able to come to the banquet of the Earl's Court made them hate to lift the roof.
Xie Yuanniang secretly observed and found it interesting.
In her previous life, she had never been in contact with anyone after she got married, and it was the first time she saw it in this life, so she naturally felt fresh, and it was interesting to watch, and she felt that someone was gently pulling her sleeve, and then there was something more in her hand, and when she looked up, she only saw the back of a little girl.
Xie Yuanniang quietly twisted the thing that was stuffed into her hand under her sleeve, it was a note.
There can be such a thing in the Earl's Palace, except for Jiang Cai, no one else can do it.
Xie Yuanniang didn't rush to see it, in fact, she didn't think about it.
With the background of Xie Mansion, the Earl's Court is not something she can walk around.
What's more, Jiang Cai didn't necessarily have anything good to look for her.
She was calm, Xie Wenhui, who had been secretly staring at Xie Yuanniang since she entered the Earl's Palace, couldn't hold her breath, she saw the little girl stuffing something into Xie Yuanniang's hand, and knew that there was a situation, but after waiting for a while, she saw that Xie Yuanniang was still sitting steadily, which made Xie Wenhui, who had speculation, more and more uneasy.
After the tea was served twice, Mrs. Jiang of the Earl's Court appeared, had a polite conversation with everyone, and asked the girls around her to take the young girls to play in the garden.
Xie Yuanniang didn't want to go, but the Kong family urged the two sisters to go over, the reason was just that Mrs. Jiang said that some sons of Jinling City were also here today, but there was no need to worry about the rules and etiquette, and everyone went to the garden together.
Seeing that the eldest daughter was about to die, how could Kong not be anxious.
