Chapter 199: Lady Qingguo
Although there was still a smile on Lan's face, Li Jingyi still heard the choking from her voice, and she was surprised, the second lady of the Qin family, Qin Qianniang, had something to be happy about, she heard her father-in-law say, "Sister Qianniang is happy, I haven't congratulated the third aunt yet!" It is not far from her to get married, and there will be opportunities to meet in the future,"
Today is the day of Qin Luo's marriage, according to custom, pregnant women are not allowed to come to the wedding banquet, and it is normal for Qin Qianniang not to come, but Lan's face is too suspicious.
This sentence almost led Lan's tears down, and she hurriedly took the opportunity of lifting her skirt to lower her head to hide the tears in her eyes, "What the county lord said is that there will be opportunities in the future......"
This is the third time that the Qin family has had a banquet this month, and the sheds in the courtyard have not been removed, and the ladies and wives of the various mansions who were originally sitting and talking saw Mrs. Ning coming in with Li Jingyi, and they all got up to salute her.
Although Li Jingyi is the lord of the county, he rarely deals with the officials and relatives of the civil ministers, but the people who came to the wedding banquet today are mostly the female relatives of the civil officials, and Mrs. Ning personally introduced Li Jingyi one by one.
The Qin family is the new servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he is married to the daughter of Jiang Yushi, and several cabinet elders are also very face-saving, and the first table is the daughter of the five cabinet ministers headed by Du Shi, the old lady of the Yu Pavilion.
Li Jingyi knows a little about Yu Ge Lao's family affairs, this Ge Lao has served in three dynasties, and he is also a capable person, but he has a widow's disease, he is nearly seventy years old, and there are seven or eight aunts in the house who are named, and this old lady is not yet thirty years old this year, and she is the third lady Yu Ge Lao to remarry.
When Mrs. Du saw Li Jingyi coming, she bowed her head slightly, and smiled at Li Jingyi, "It turned out to be the county lord of Ruihe,"
As soon as Mrs. Du's arrogant attitude came out, Cheng Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao who sat down were a little stunned, and after a detailed discussion, these people were all serious original wives, and they were one or even two rounds older than Mrs. Du who sat first, but this Mrs. Du was such a person who believed that his wife had a noble temper, and she had always regarded herself as the first person in front of them, and these ladies did not want to anger Yu Ge Lao because of some face problems, and they always adopted the attitude of avoiding if they can, and forbearing if they can't. Fortunately, this Mrs. Du usually doesn't like to go out to socialize, and most of the entertainment in the Yu Mansion is done by the eldest daughter-in-law, but I don't know what happened to her today, and she came to the Qin family.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Qingguo," Li Jingyi was both unfamiliar and familiar with this Mrs. Du, because this Du family, in addition to being the step-family of Yu Ge Lao, also had another identity, she was the wife of Emperor Longwu, in order to show his honor and favor to the Yu family, Emperor Longwu also specially gave the name Qing.
Although Du Shi is Mrs. Guo, but Li Jingyi is the first time to see her, the legend says that this Mrs. Guo has always been in poor health, does not like to go out to socialize, and even every year at the court, she is called sick and does not go to court, and the Queen of the Cloud does not care about her, but if the fold of the illness is handed over, there is no allow.
When I saw it today, Li Jingyi felt that this Mrs. Qingguo was not as weak as she imagined, she wore a true purple carved silk gown like herself today, but she had a hundred flowers wearing butterfly patterns on her body, while she had a rich peony pattern in the four seasons.
Mrs. Du didn't see the embarrassment of the other four, she pointed to the position beside her, "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, just sit with me for a while,"
Mrs. Du's eyebrows were lightly raised, her phoenix eyes flew obliquely, only two mutton fat jade tooth combs were inserted in the ingots, and a pearl hairpin, and the heavily colored gown on her body made her appearance more and more bland, coupled with the cold and arrogant look, Li Jingyi almost suspected that she was not here to drink the wine, but to find trouble, "Mrs. Xie is gracious, but I still have to go over to talk to my cousins and cousins, so I won't accompany Mrs. Lao." β
Li Jingyi smiled slightly, bowed her head at the other four ladies one by one, and said hello, so she took the arm of Mrs. Ning, who also looked embarrassed, "Auntie, ask Sister Li Niang to take me to see the happy house?" β
Mrs. Ning was also very surprised by Mrs. Du's arrival, seeing her attitude at this time, she was sweating, and now seeing that Li Jingyi did not choke on Mrs. Du, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, ask your third uncle and mother to take you over to find Li Niang and them, you take advantage of the fact that there is no one here, take a closer look!" β
The Lan family only heard of this Qingguo lady's name, and he was also a little frightened at this time, "Let's go, the county lord will come with me, there are still guests here for your eldest aunt!" β
In the Qin family, Li Jingyi is not only the county lord, but also the younger generation of the knives is a family member, no matter how respectful the identity of Mrs. Qingguo is, there is no reason to run to other people's homes to put up a fight, not to mention that Mrs. Guo is still inferior to the county lord when it comes to identity.
"Hey, a divorced woman, and she came up to the wedding banquet, and she is not afraid of bad luck!" Although Du Shi didn't go out when he was idle, he didn't dare not give her face wherever he went, even if Li Jingyi was the county lord, she was not afraid from the bottom of her heart, and now she was ignored like this, and she was even said by Li Jingyi to sit with her, and her face froze.
Today is a big day for Qin Luo to get married, Mrs. Qingguo doesn't care, but Li Jingyi can't ignore it, she paused slightly, turned around and glanced at Mrs. Du with a smile, "Madame often says that she can't get sick, and this is the first time that the lord of this county has seen your true face of Lushan, in fact, when the harem banquet, Mrs. should accompany Yu Ge Lao into the palace more, and the Ge Lao is also in spring and autumn, how can there be a capable person to serve by his side?" β
Li Jingyi can't hear anything wrong with this, but the meaning here is staggering, this is a sarcasm that Du Shi married an old man! even insinuated that Du Shi was unwilling to let people mention that he was married to an old man, so he deliberately closed his door!
"Haha, the county lord also hit it off with Mrs. Du at first sight, so he thought that he would be able to see him more in the palace in the future," Mrs. Lan had no time to grieve for her daughter, laughed a few times, bent her knees at the ladies on the chairman, and took Li Jingyi away with half support and half push.
"This surnamed Du is really," As soon as she got out of the door of the main hall, the Lan family couldn't help but complain, her words were good, how could Li Jingyi say that she was also the niece of the Qin family, one of your guests ran to the master's house to find trouble, isn't it too much to see people? "I have also seen the two wives of Yu Xiang before, they are not like this, and several wives in their family are also knowledgeable, alas, I met such a mother-in-law......"
Before this Du became the third wife of Yu Ge Lao, there were few people in the capital who knew her, and later I heard that she was an old girl in a family, because her fiancΓ© died before she got married, and she was older, and then she didn't know how to be favored by Yu Ge Lao, and married home as the third wife.
Li Jingyi listened to Lan's words, and was also depressed for the wives of the Yu family, facing such a step-mother-in-law who was younger than herself and had a big temper, this daughter-in-law is really not good, "As long as she doesn't care about the family, in fact, there is nothing, it is estimated that the sons of the Yu family are also for ......filial piety."
"Ha, you narrow ghost, but that Yu Pavilion is old," Lan pouted, "An old man is disrespectful!" β
In the eyes of the women in the house, no matter how the men call for wind and rain in the court, there are too many pets in the house, and they are not good men!
Li Jingyi nodded thoughtfully, looked up and saw Qin Liniang standing outside, hurriedly walked a few steps, and held her cousin who was about to give her a gift, "I haven't seen my big sister for a long time, don't be polite." β
Qin Rongniang leaned out from behind Qin Liniang and said with a smile, "Did I say that?" My cousin is the most talkative, and she never cares about these common etiquette with us,"
Her big, good-looking eyes bent into crescents, "That's why I like my cousin the most!" β
"I think you're a good thing to like your cousin," Qin Weiniang glanced at her sister and pulled her aside, "Etiquette is not to be wrong, no rules!" β
"It's a pity that Qianniang didn't come, otherwise we would have gathered," There are only three brothers in the Qin family, and the closest one is the cousin of the eldest princess of Jinyang.
When Qin Liniang heard Li Jingyi say this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the Lan family, but she heard Li Jingyi say, "Aunt has something to do, just go busy, I asked Wei Niang and a few of them to take me and Sister Liniang to the new house to have a look." β
The Lan family is also in charge of a mess, and it is true that they don't have time to gossip with a few girls, not to mention that Qin Liniang is already the mother of two children, so she can't be more appropriate, so she nodded and left with the maid.
Li Jingyi had the intention to tell the Lan family to leave quickly, she held Qin Liniang and said, "If I go in at this time, I will have to delay for a while, why don't we go to my cousin's side first?" β
Qin Liniang hadn't seen this cousin for many years, and when she saw it, she found that it was very different from when she was a child, and then thought of the evaluation of Li Jingyi by several younger sisters, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and nodded, "Just according to Jingniang, I have only been in the capital for two days, and your brother-in-law is sick and sick, so he only cares about taking care of him, and he doesn't even care about helping his mother, and he doesn't even go over to take a look at Brother Luo'er's yard!" β
"Jiangxi is only afraid that it will be nearly a month away from the capital, and the two children are okay, right? Why didn't you see them? "Qin Liniang has been married to the Wang family for nearly ten years, and she has a son and a daughter under her knees, but Li Jingyi didn't see it at this time.
Hearing Li Jingyi ask about the child, Qin Liniang smiled and said, "It's not so lively outside, how can the two villains sit?" I asked them to take their nurses out to see the excitement, and when I came back, I asked them to come and kowtow to my aunt. β
Qin Li's mother-in-law's house is too far away, and she can't easily go back to her parents' house, Li Jingyi hasn't seen her pair of children yet, "Okay, I heard that the eldest is Brother Tao?" β
"Yes, the eldest is called Wang Tao, almost nine years old, and the younger sister is called Wang Fei, who is only six years old, and it is the time to be naughty," Qin Liniang shook her head and said.
Qin's place is limited, Qin Luo's yard is not big, just a cross-courtyard, three main rooms, one on both sides of the three wings, today is the hairpin hanging red, very festive.
