029. The importance of the media and public opinion
When the woman had finished speaking, the people around her looked at her more and more as if they were laughing, and the whispering became louder and louder, and they became more and more avoidable.
"In the end, he is the first powerful person in our capital!"
"Mrs. Hou is also a relative of the emperor, the emperor's cousin, where are you willing to let these rat feces spoil your own banquet?"
"If I were to see such unchaste, unfaithful, and unfilial goods come to my door!"
Mrs. Fengguo got up directly and said: "That is the case, I don't have to enter the door, but I hope that Mrs. Hou will be as blessed as the East China Sea, and her life will be better than that of Nanshan. As he spoke, he said lightly, "Let's go back." ”
The door-to-door birthday celebration was ordered to be evicted, and it was a great shame everywhere. Qingrong pursed her lips tightly, watching everyone pointing at her, the county lord of Huatang, and Runrong, as if her heart was blocked by something, and she couldn't breathe uncomfortably.
Seeing this, the fourth lady hurriedly accompanied Mrs. Fengguo and said, "Madam, you misunderstood, how could my mother-in-law mean this." It's just ......" She really didn't have anything to say about it, but she didn't follow up for a long time.
Mrs. Fengguo took the three of them out of Jiangxiahou Mansion all the way, and Qingrong couldn't help but turn back frequently and didn't see Yuan Heng. The first time she came to the door, Tong Yuanheng's father didn't even say a word, she was swept out of the house because of her black material, this parent saw it, it was really embarrassing!
The four of them sat in the carriage silently, but Runrong couldn't help it first, and hung his head to cover his face with his hands and cried out. Lord Huatang also had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't come back to his senses. Qingrong is much more plain than the two, and as for Mrs. Fengguo, there is only unappeased anger on her face.
The flower hall is full of ladies and misses, and Yuan Heng is not easy to enter at will. When I heard that Qingrong had been ordered to be evicted by my grandmother, and when I went to look for it again, Qingrong had already left with Mrs. Fengguo.
The fourth lady took advantage of her free time to pull her son to a no-man's land, and said to him: "I have already seen the Shen girl you said, and her appearance is not bad." But I'm afraid that if it's really as rumored, he's a tricky and domineering man, and he has no respect! Since your grandmother drove her away, you will give me less contact with her in the future! ”
Yuan Heng was extremely dissatisfied, and said, "Mother, I'm so old, can't I even look at people?" Qingrong has always been humble and polite, you don't know how tricky the old lady of the Shen family is, she privately connived at the four girls in the third room of the Shen family to bully Qingrong and Runrong, all of which I see in my eyes. ”
The fourth lady stroked Yuan Heng's clothes and said, "You are twenty-two, and you are not too young!" She said, with a sad face, and said: "Your father was brought back from outside, and he is not even a concubine, what is the position of our family in the house, and what kind of difficult life is it!" Now Princess Yongping belongs to you, if you marry her......"
"I will never marry her!" Yuan Heng interrupted the words of the fourth lady angrily, and said, "If you marry the princess and make a concubine, won't your grandmother show us the face of the four rooms?" That Princess Yongping is the disrespectful elder of Zhenzhen'er, her mother was angry with her mother in the first half of her life, and she still has to live by her daughter-in-law's eyes in the second half of her life. I have face in front of the emperor now, as long as I do a good job, I will have a more productive life in the future. When the time comes, our family will move out of the Hou Mansion and set up their own door, according to Qingrong's talents, it will be enough to support the inner house, not to mention that now she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Fengguo! ”
The fourth lady was quite moved by what Yuan Heng said, but she couldn't help but hesitate: "Which of your marriage matters, me or your father, can be the master, in the end, it doesn't depend on the meaning of Master Hou and Mrs. Hou!" ”
Yuan Heng's eyes unconsciously floated a little angry, and said impatiently: "Marriage is a big event, the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker!" If you and your father disagree, what can Mrs. Hou do! Yuan Heng saw that the fourth lady was still embarrassed and couldn't make up her mind, so he sighed helplessly and advised: "Forget it, no matter what Mrs. Hou says, don't spit it out." Discuss everything with me! ”
The fourth lady nodded reluctantly, and when she saw that Yuan Heng was leaving, she suddenly grabbed him and said, "Is that Shen girl good?" ”
Yuan Heng had deep irritation in his eyes, and said, "Mother, I married a wife to live a good life, not to let anyone pinch her." She will not bully you, respect you everywhere, and you should not be like Mrs. Hou, everything is prosperous in family and talent! With that, he gently stroked the fourth lady's hand.
If Qingrong heard these words, he didn't know how moved he would be. It's just that now the main hall in Mrs. Fengguo's mansion is bleak, and she is full of comfort and moistening.
"This old lady Shen is really amazing, I'll just stop it, I've already married someone, and I don't expect to marry again. But Runrong and Qingrong are ......" Lord Huatang shook his head with sympathy, "You two might as well go and give your grandmother a gift, you have to settle this matter." ”
Mrs. Fengguo sneered, "A villain like Xu Guizhi is used to discrediting people, but now that he is older, he doesn't know how to accumulate virtue for himself, and if he thinks about it, he is not afraid of going to hell to put his tongue on it." ”
Runrong gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid that it's not just Mrs. Shen, but also Mrs., Aunt Zhao, and Shen Lingrong will spare no effort to smear us." ”
The lord of Huatang said: "Their advanced capital, when they used to socialize, they passed on one by one, but now it is difficult to set things right." ”
Qingrong is also worried, and Daliang does not have Weibo and WeChat, and the two sides can also fairly tear and guide public opinion on social platforms. Nowadays, without media guidance, in the aristocratic social circle of Daliang, only the noblewoman at the top of the pyramid can control the right to speak, leading a wave of rhythm.
Wait, media!
"It's not difficult," Qingrong's mind flashed, and he instantly had an idea, and said: "If it is done well, we can not only set things right, but we can also treat others in the way of others!" ”
The three of them immediately looked at Qingrong, and Mrs. Fengguo couldn't help but smile first, and said, "Do you have a way?" ”
Qingrong smiled and said, "There are no good ideas, and there are bad ideas." Isn't there a palace newspaper in the imperial court? Let's start a newspaper, too. ”
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The county lord of Huatang was stunned and said, "Start a newspaper? ”
Runrong said: "What is a newspaper? ”
Mrs. Fengguo said, "What do you want to do?" What to do? ”
In the end, it was the palace executives who came out, and they asked the point at once.
"Specially run a newspaper to record national events, laws and regulations, and secrets of high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing." Qingrong's words were amazing, "The ladies of all families in the capital have nothing to do, don't they like this kind of after-dinner conversation the most?" Let's do one, and when the time comes, we will write about Du Ruoyun's corruption, Mrs. Shen's partiality and rumors, and Aunt Zhao's help to rob her daughter's relatives. When the three of them became tigers, there were more people who saw and believed, and public opinion returned to our hands. ”
The county lord of Huatang listened thoughtfully, and a smile appeared on his lips, and even Mrs. Fengguo felt that this idea was particularly interesting.
Qingrong said again: "I just don't know, whether I can print this kind of thing privately, and whether it will violate the taboo of the imperial court." ”
The county lord of Huatang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What are you afraid of!" The lady who is the second in line is behind you, you just let it go! ”
Mrs. Fengguo frowned, and warned the lord of Huatang and Qingrong: "You are not allowed to implicate me, if you really violate the king's law, I will not help you," despite saying this, Mrs. Fengguo still changed the tone and said: "If you really want to do it, I will take you into the palace tomorrow, and you will go to the queen mother, as long as the queen mother is approved, I will not stop you." ”
The county lord of Huatang was very interested, and immediately discussed with Qingrong. Runrong listened on the side, as if he understood or not, until the end, he asked Qingrong and the county lord of Huatang suspiciously: "This, it works?" ”
"What I have is silver, now I don't need to buy a house and land, let alone pass it on to my heirs, I spend it myself, let's spend the silver to try, if it doesn't work, there is no loss." The lord of Huatang said very richly.
Qingrong suddenly had the energy, and he was so eager to do what he said.
After studying for a while, they put down the humiliation they had suffered in Jiangxiahou Mansion in the morning and went back to their respective places.
In the evening, Yuan Heng came to the door to apologize to Mrs. Fengguo, and Mrs. Fengguo reluctantly saw him, and went back after receiving his gift. In the end, there were two more Qingrong and Yuan Heng left.
Yuan Heng said very apologetically: "Originally, it was out of good intentions, and I didn't have to let you come to the door to be humiliated." Don't take it to heart, in the future, our four rooms will be self-reliant, and we will come out to live alone. So Mrs. Hou, you just think of her as an ornament. ”
Qingrong felt a little more comfortable in his heart, "Later, I will talk about the future, now Mrs. Fengguo is my grandmother, if the two families are evil, I am afraid that nothing will happen." ”
Yuan Heng immediately held Qingrong's hand and said, "Since you have agreed to be with me, we will have a lifetime." Could it be that you are planning to marry someone else? ”
Qingrong nodded reasonably, "Not to mention that the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, even if there is, you and I are not a sure thing." Just like the lord of Huatang has been married for more than 20 years, he can also be reconciled, who must live a lifetime with whom? If you treat me badly, I will leave you. ”
Yuan Heng's face immediately fell, and he tightly clutched Qingrong's hand and said, "I am good to you, and you are not allowed to leave me." In the future, you are not allowed to interact with the lord of Huatang again, I don't have to take you with me! ”
Qingrong used to look at Yuan Heng, always a steady and mature person, but now he thinks of being a teenager. I really like it, right? She smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, my grandmother is unhappy because of this incident, so you should come less in the future." ”
Yuan Heng reluctantly said: "What should I do if I want to see you?" ”
Qingrong said with a smile: "The county lord of Huatang said that he would take me around with Runrong and Brother Yi. In addition, my grandmother said that it was boring for us to stay at home all day, and she had found a boudoir for me and Runrong, and we were going to go in a few days. ”
Yuan Heng smiled and said, "Boudoir? That must be the Duke of Wei's family. ”
"Wei Guogong? That Wei Guogong of Song Zhao? Qingrong was shocked.
Yuan Heng smiled and said, "Naturally, this Liang is only one Duke of Wei in total, if you go to the Duke of Wei, it will be very convenient for the two of us to meet......
The boudoir of the Wei State Mansion, Song Zhao and their family! Qingrong's mind was full of Song Zhao's bewitching slut's face, and he had a headache.
