Chapter 144: The Banquet of the Ji Mansion (2)

"Back to the old lady's words, my young lady has always been free and easy, and she used to love to go out of the house to play like other girls, and do some business pastime by the way. To say that you show up all day long, this is not to be true. Jin Qi'er next to Gui Mingyue couldn't help but feel upset for Miss.

"You!" Old Mrs. Wei Chi has always been a domineering person, but she was robbed by a little maid here, and she couldn't help but scold angrily: "You uneducated, how can you speak here, come here, give me a palm." ”

"What? My words are not good in your Ji Hou Mansion...... "It is said that the son of Mrs. Wei Chi is in the second rank of the imperial history, but this is the Hou Mansion, and she dares to make a big statement here, also relying on her age and relationship with Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji smiled slightly and said, "How can it, as long as it is your words, who dares not to listen, and if someone comes, they will not do what Mrs. Wei Chi said." ”

Old Mrs. Wei Chi saved her face, so she nodded smugly.

"Wait!" Gui Mingyue has always been forbearant and inactive, making the entire Ji Mansion think that she is a soft persimmon who can be bullied. She has always been too lazy to care about others, except for her dowry and money, everything else is easy to say and can be tolerated.

"Dare to ask me if this maid broke the family rules of the Ji family, and asked Mrs. Wei Chi to order punishment?" Gui Mingyue asked word by word, and the word Ji family was particularly clear.

This is a mockery of Mrs. Wei Chi's dog meddling with rats.

"Gui, how can you talk to Old Madam Wei Chi like this, I have been thinking about your background for a long time, even if I do something out of the ordinary, I have never said anything about you. But now on such an occasion, how dare you be so presumptuous. When Mrs. Ji said this, she not only showed her high demeanor and brightness in treating her daughter-in-law leniently on weekdays, but also made people feel that Gui Mingyue was born in a small family that did not understand the rules and had a bad character.

The female guests in the banquet couldn't help but show condemnation and contempt, and they really couldn't get on the stage.

Even Mrs. Leng and Lord Yongjia at the table frowned slightly.

"The daughter-in-law's background is far less than that of a high-ranking family like the Hou Mansion, but it was also married to you by three media and six media. Now the eldest lady and some people with ulterior motives are from a low background, even if they dislike their daughter-in-law so much, why did they question marrying me in the first place. Although my family is in business, my father is also a scholar in a county, and I have also studied at home school, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a scholar. Gui Mingyue said, blinking hard, her eyes were red, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

The daughter-in-law didn't know what she had done wrong, which made the eldest lady dissatisfied, cut off the food in the west courtyard, and asked the daughter-in-law to use her dowry silver to give the maids and daughters-in-law in the courtyard monthly bills. The daughter-in-law's dowry is a lot, but she can't stand such expenses. Gui Mingyue then said in one breath.

"You, you ......" Mrs. Ji couldn't help but scold angrily when she heard her say this matter so bluntly: "You! It's embarrassing to be here, what kind of occasion is it that you are talking about this here. ”

None of the ladies present are well versed in the pickled affairs of this deep mansion compound, but those things can only be talked about in private, and they can't see the light.

"Tut-tut, I really didn't expect that such a big family background as the Hou Mansion would also deduct money from the concubine." A few ladies who had long been unaccustomed to seeing Mrs. Ji praise high and low couldn't help but whisper mocking in private.

"But this Gui clan has no rules, so he told the private affairs in the house like this, so that the eldest lady would put her face where to go."

"That's it, how can everyone be such a daughter-in-law, it's really a small family, I don't know whether to live or die."

There are also people who look at Gui Mingyue, who is charming and delicate, and who is dressed exquisitely.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know people, just chew the root of your tongue here. Leng Bingxiang pointed unceremoniously at the few female dependents who were pointing at the back, and said unceremoniously.

"Xiang'er, don't be rude!" Madame Leng scolded.

"Hmph, I'm telling the truth, look at the jewelry you wear on your heads, aren't they all jewelry in other people's shops? Do you dare to say that every time you return to the pavilion and every time you come out with new jewelry, aren't you all looking at the pole to buy it! Leng Bingxiang has been pampered since she was a child, and her temperament is as jealous as hatred.

This, she said the truth, Angelica Pavilion's head jewelry, that is a hot and sought-after item. Every time you come out of a new one, you are robbed, so if you want to buy it, you don't just have money, you have to be familiar with the work in the shop, and let the family steal it out.

Now, the eyes of those noble ladies looking at Gui Mingyue are different again, this is the owner of Angelica Pavilion, the owner of the Eight Classics!

Take a closer look at people's clothing, from the magnolia flower crown, necklace, bracelet, to the flower and ring, all of which are exquisite and luxurious. This outfit seems to be elegant and elegant, but it is actually worth a lot of money, isn't this the most popular low-key and luxurious dress in the Dadong Dynasty nowadays.

"That's it, we're here to go to the banquet, but we're not here to see your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting jokes," the county lord of Yongjia, who had been silent, finally spoke, and said: "Big lady, don't keep worrying about your daughter-in-law's background, what she said is right, even if the background of the family is low, it is also your Hou Mansion Zheng'er who married back, you will dislike others again, isn't it your own face." ”

"Yes, yes, I was stupid." Mrs. Ji listened to her cold tone, and then remembered that the husband of the county lord of Yongjia was not a person from a small family, although it was a son-in-law who came to the door, at that time, the county lord of Yongjia was extremely protective of this husband, and the last thing he wanted people to mention was his background. She looks down on Gui's background here, isn't this equivalent to giving her eye drops.

Oops! How did I forget this stubble, and only thought about humiliating and humiliating this Gui in public, who knows......

"As for the old woman Yu Chi, you are also angry, and your body is broken, Lord Yu Chi will blame us."

"What the county lord said is that the old woman is impulsive." When it comes to Lord Yuchi, that is, her son, but he is a serious and ruthless person, if he knows that his mother is nosy in other people's houses, it is estimated that he will talk about it again, the old woman of Yuchi has been rampant and domineering all her life, and what she is most afraid of when she is old is her son's chatter.

The lord of Yongjia County saw that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Wei Chi were very face-saving, and they couldn't help but feel a little complacent on their faces.

Then he turned his head to Gui Mingyue and admonished.

"And you are returning to the family, since you have married into the door of the Hou Mansion, you naturally have to abide by your duties and be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can no longer act as arbitrarily as before, how can you speak against your mother-in-law, and also make the private affairs of the mansion public, you must know that you and this Hou Mansion are now one. If you say those things that are not thoughtful, people laugh at them, not only your mother-in-law, but also the entire Hou Mansion and you. The master of Yongjia County said to Gui Mingyue seriously, and then changed his stern tone and said: "But you maid, how can she speak on such an occasion, and dare to speak against the master here, this punishment is indispensable." Fifteen slaps on the mouth, can you agree? ”

Hmph, it's really cheap to only slap your mouth fifteen times, this lawless girl, Mrs. Ji was about to say something more.

"I don't agree." I only heard Gui Mingyue say lightly.

"What? What did you say? "The county lord of Yongjia thought that this punishment was very light, but he didn't expect this Gui clan to be so ignorant.

The ladies below were also gasping.

"Heh, Mrs. Ji, your daughter-in-law here is really well-educated." The county lord of Yongjia sneered.

"Guishi, don't be ignorant!" Mrs. Ji was overjoyed in her heart, this stubborn Gui clan could completely offend the county lord of Yongjia.

"Aunt County Lord, don't be angry, Yue'er doesn't have a bad heart...... She's just in a hurry, for Xiang'er's sake, you can forgive her. The Leng family has always been friendly with the county lord of Yongjia, Leng Bingxiang hurriedly stepped forward to intercede, and glanced at Gui Mingyue.

"The county lord is angry," Gui Mingyue has never been such a flexible person, and seeing that her friend Leng Bingxiang had tried her best to intercede for herself, she reconciled the color and said: "Yue'er said that she disagreed, and there is a reason, this maid has been serving by my side since she was a child, don't look at her sometimes sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but her mind is extremely simple, and she is a scheming." Although it was inappropriate for her to contradict Mrs. Wei Chi just now, she was also bent on protecting me. Speaking of which, she had saved my life in the early years, and now she is covered with sword scars. For her heartfelt sake, spare her. As he spoke, his eyes were a little red.

Jin Qi'er, who had been standing beside Gui Mingyue with a fearless face, couldn't help but peek at her young lady when she heard this. Ahem, in order not to let herself be punished, Miss is making up words again, what is desperate to save her life, but she doesn't even have a bump on her body......

This girl is a loyal servant who is brave and protects the lord, and when the county lord of Yongjia heard this, the anger in his heart couldn't help but be reduced by more than half, and he looked at Leng Bingxiang, who quickly nodded and said that it is indeed true!

"What if I have to take this maid's mouth today?" Mrs. Ji saw that the county lord of Yongjia had softened, and she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, she still underestimated this Gui clan, and today she couldn't let her easily fool her like this, otherwise she wouldn't turn against her in the future?

"Oh, the eldest lady is so majestic!" The speaker's voice is delicate and brittle, but there is a hint of force.

"Ahh Showa-chan princess! Someone exclaimed that when Emperor Wen was in power, she was fortunate to attend a royal banquet with her husband, and she had seen Princess Showa at the meeting.

But at that time, this was just an ordinary unfavored princess, but now it is different, and her brother who is the same mother sits on the Ninety-Five, she is the only eldest princess in this Dadong Dynasty who is loved by thousands of people - Showa Eldest Princess

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

"Meet the eldest princess!"

At one moment, all the ladies in the banquet stood up to pay their respects.

"Eldest princess Jin'an, I didn't know that the eldest princess arrived, the concubine was disappointed, and I hope that the eldest princess will atone for her sins......" Mrs. Ji hurriedly stepped forward and greeted her with a smile.

Who knows, Showa passed straight in front of her and ran towards the person who was half-kneeling in the center of the hall.

"Sister, Showa misses you so much!" Showa went up and hugged Gui Mingyue's arm, pulled her up, and shook her affectionately.

Turning his head to look at the noble ladies who were kneeling on the ground, he said lightly: "Get up." ”

All the ladies got up one after another, and some of the bold young ladies looked up at the eldest princess who was young but exuded the coercion peculiar to the superiors.

"Sister, I knew that you were so bullied when you married into this Hou Mansion, it is better to marry my imperial brother as a concubine, and you can also be a companion with Showa, this palace is suffocated."

There was a voice in the hall that remembered the slight reproach and regret of the eldest princess of Showa.

Seeing that she was so intimate with this Gui clan, hearing this again, all the daughters and relatives were shocked and their jaws dropped.
