Chapter 38: The Tea Party (Part II)

The early summer sun is not too strong, the back garden is full of shade, the breeze is blowing, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers in the air makes people feel very cool and comfortable.

Mrs. Tai looked at everyone and smiled: "I invite all the ladies to come over today, firstly, to gather for the sisters, lively and lively, and secondly, to introduce to you the new lady of our Hou Mansion......" As she spoke, she turned her head to Jiang Ruonan on the left and said, "Ruolan, say hello to all the ladies." ”

Jiang Ruonan stood up in response and bowed slightly to everyone, "Ruolan has seen all the ladies. "Both the etiquette and the gesture are very in place. Mrs. Tai smiled slightly, obviously very satisfied.

Although the ladies were very surprised by Jiang Ruonan's change, but because of Mrs. Tai's face, they also said a few words of appreciation for the face, you said, I said, the scene was very harmonious and lively.

But among these ladies, there is one who is very blind to Jiang Ruonan, she is the current envoy of the Tai Hospital, the wife of Lord Liu, and Liu Zijin's mother Luo.

Luo's daughter Liu Zitong was pushed into the water by Jiang Ruolan, although she saved her life, but she fell ill and has not been cured so far, which directly affected her daughter's marriage. Jiang Ruolan is the daughter of a mighty general, and she is maintained by the Queen Mother, and now she is a first-class woman, and she can't do anything to her as a five-grade wife. But now that she is obviously a shrew, she has been appreciated by everyone for her pretense, and she can't hold back the resentment in her heart when she thinks that her daughter can't attend any public occasions because of her.

Just as everyone was boasting about me, a group of harmonious music, suddenly a cold voice suddenly sounded, "Mrs. Hou really surprised me today, the old body almost thought that she recognized the wrong person!" ”

The lively scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at a not-so-obvious corner, where sitting was the lady of the envoy of the Liu Academy, Luo Shi, who was dressed in navy blue clothes and had a serious expression!

The grievances between Liu Zitong and Jiang Ruolan have long been known to everyone, so which of the nobles in the imperial city does not know which one! The eyes of all the ladies lit up in unison, and there was a good show!

When Mrs. Tai first heard this, her face sank slightly, and she was secretly angry in her heart: Who is so uninteresting? When she saw that it was Luo, the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated, she glanced at Jiang Ruonan beside her, sighed softly, and looked a little unhappy.

She has been taken care of by the Liu family for so many years because of her illness, so whenever there is a party at home, Roche must be on the guest list. This time I ignored the matter......

However, Jiang Ruolan was not the only one who offended Luo before? If you can prevent it this time, can you prevent it next time? Ruolan, a daughter-in-law like Ruolan, even if she works hard to change, can she really bring face to the Hou Mansion?

Mrs. Tai frowned slightly.

Yu Qiuyue took Mrs. Tai's expression in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, revealing a sneer.

As soon as Luo's words fell, a lady next to him answered: "What does Mrs. Liu mean by this?" ”

Luo Shi looked at Jiang Ruonan and sneered: "Do you really not understand the meaning of the old body? ”

The ladies pursed their lips and smiled knowingly, and the ladies couldn't hold back a little on their faces, and took the tea in front of them to hide their emotions. Jin Yanran, who was beside her, glared fiercely at Jiang Ruonan.

Since the moment Jiang Ruonan heard Luo's words, he knew that he was facing the biggest test since entering the Hou Mansion, if he couldn't successfully get through this scene and protect the face of the Hou Mansion, he was afraid that from now on, Mrs. Tai would never value herself again, and her previous efforts would be in vain!

Whether to shrink into the waiting house from now on, to escape the shame of the world, or to stand up and try to make everyone accept themselves, this is a personal attitude towards life.

Jiang Ruonan asked herself that she is not a showy person, but she hopes to be recognized by everyone, she wants to be warm, she doesn't like loneliness and loneliness, so she must have the courage to face everything.

Ruolan understood what Mrs. Liu meant. Jiang Ruonan's sudden voice attracted the attention of the audience.

Mrs. Tai looked at her with some unease, Jin Yanran simply spoke directly, she lowered her voice and said to Jiang Ruonan: "What do you want to do?" You settle down, isn't it enough that you have embarrassed the Hou Mansion today? ”

Jiang Ruonan faced Mrs. Tai and whispered, "Please believe in Ruolan again." After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Tai to answer, she stood up, turned around a few times, and walked slowly towards Luo's table.

Jin Yanran was in a hurry, and almost wanted to grab Jiang Ruonan, but Mrs. Tai stopped her, Jin Yanran said anxiously: "Mother, do you really want her to mess around?" If it gets out of control, our Hou Mansion will really become a joke in the Imperial City! ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Jiang Ruonan's figure and said lightly: "You might as well believe her once." The look in the child's eyes just now was a kind of resoluteness without hesitation, and that kind of look moved her a little, because she believed that everything Ruolan was doing now was for Shaokang, and she was willing to work hard for Shaokang, so she should give her a chance!

Jiang Ruonan walked towards Mrs. Liu step by step, and the ladies around her looked at her with wide eyes, some expectation and excitement in their eyes, all guessing what Jiang Ruonan wanted, according to Jiang Ruolan's temper, I am afraid that it will not be good!

Luo Zhi watched Jiang Ruonan approaching, and his heart was not nervous, Jiang Ruolan's ferocity was famous, if she embarrassed herself in front of so many people, wouldn't she become a joke in everyone's mouth in the future? She sat up straight, her whole body tensed, and she secretly made up her mind that if she dared to do anything to herself, even if she fought hard, she would sue the emperor to seek justice for herself!

Jiang Ruonan came to Luo Zhi, and Luo Zhi stared at her tightly, fully guarded. The women squeezed the handkerchiefs in their hands so tightly that they didn't blink their eyes!

Just when everyone was holding their breath and looking forward to it, Jiang Ruonan surprised everyone and gave Luo a respectful salute!

The ladies couldn't believe their eyes, she ...... She actually saluted Roche! Luo Shi gave her face like this, and she even saluted Luo Shi!

What's going on?

The ladies didn't see the wonderful play, not only were they not disappointed, but they aroused their interest even more, they wanted to know what the shrew Jiang Ruolan wanted to do!

"You...... What are you doing? Also surprised was Roche, she was even ready to be beaten, but she didn't expect the other party to suddenly make such a move, which made her in a mess.

"Ruolan wants to apologize to Madame and Miss Liu!" Jiang Ruonan looked at Luo and said in a sincere tone, "Ruolan did too much to Ling Ai before, which made Madame very sad, Ruolan knew that she was wrong, Madame didn't say anything today and just said a few words of gossip, even if she scolded Ruolan, Ruolan didn't have any complaints!" ”

"You...... What did you say? Roche looked at her with bulging eyes, unable to believe his ears.

The other ladies also looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes!

"Ruolan was very ignorant before, didn't understand the rules, acted willfully, and hurt Miss Liu, and Mrs. naturally hated Ruolan in her heart. And I don't know it's just Mrs......" Jiang Ruonan slowly turned around, looked at the other ladies, and said sincerely: "Ruolan knows, everyone here doesn't like Ruolan!" She walked to a small table next to her and saluted to the lady behind the small table: "I once went to Mrs. Wang's house, because I liked the chrysanthemums planted by Mrs., and I didn't care whether Mrs. was willing or not, so I forcibly took them, but I didn't plant any life, and I ruined Mrs.'s hard work in vain, Ruolan is ashamed of Mrs. ”

Mrs. Wang was a little overwhelmed by Jiang Ruonan's salute.

Jiang Ruonan walked a few more steps, looked at the other lady, and saluted: "Mrs. Liu, I broke your most beloved set of plates, I was sad to see you, and laughed at you for making a fuss, Ruolan now sincerely apologizes to you, I hope Mrs. can forgive Ruolan for her recklessness!" ”

Mrs. Liu laughed dryly, "It's just a plate...... Where can I afford the great gift of my wife...... but I have unconsciously let go of this matter in my heart.

Jiang Ruonan walked up to the other lady and saluted respectfully: "Ruolan ignored Mrs. Yuan's objections and insisted on taking Mrs. Yuan's child out to play, and as a result, the child fell and came back, which must have made Mrs. very sad, Ruolan really didn't know how to make up for Mrs. Yuan's tears." Speaking of this, Jiang Ruonan's voice was a little choked.

Mrs. Yuan sighed: "Actually, there is not much to do with the child, it is rare that Mrs. still remembers it." ”

Jiang Ruonan apologized one by one, her attitude was respectful, her tone was humble, full of sincerity, and slowly, the mood of the ladies also changed subtly, from the previous schadenfreude mentality of watching a good show, to a feeling of pity. After all, these people are all good people, they have been influenced by the sage books since they were children, and they believe that knowing their mistakes can improve the greatness, not to mention that there is no big hatred between them and Jiang Ruolan, and now that she is a lady of Yipin, she can sincerely apologize to them, they have face inside, how can they still worry about Jiang Ruonan!

Over there, Jin Yanran whispered to Mrs. Tai: "Mother, she apologized to these people like this, is it considered to have lost the face of the delicate Hou Mansion." ”

Mrs. Tai patted her hand and smiled: "Child, a sincere apology is never a shameful thing, it takes a lot of courage for your sister-in-law to do this kind of thing, if it were you, would you have the courage to do this?" ”

Jin Yanran looked at Jiang Ruonan's figure in the field and pouted, "I don't have to apologize to so many people!" "But if you were yourself, would you have the courage to do the same thing? Jin Yanran watched Jiang Ruonan's salute again and again, and a kind of respect faintly rose in her heart.

Jiang Ruonan apologized to almost all the ladies, and after apologizing, he looked at everyone and said loudly: "Please believe in the sincerity of Ruolan's apology, Ruolan is now truly repentant, Ruolan doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness from the ladies, but today is a tea party held by her mother for everyone, Ruolan doesn't want to affect the tea party carefully prepared by her mother because of her own affairs, and asks the ladies to see Ruolan's sincerity, temporarily put aside their prejudices about Ruolan, just enjoy everything that her mother has prepared for everyone, and enjoy this beautiful scenery, Ruolan would like to thank you all! ”

The ladies smiled, and two ladies walked up to Jiang Ruonan's side, took her hand and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, we don't remember the past for a long time, so don't mention it again!" Speaking of which, we all admire Mrs. Tai! As she spoke, one of the ladies turned to Mrs. Tai and smiled: "Mrs. Tai, I must come to learn from you, you can carve a piece of stubborn stone into a beautiful jade in such a short time, and we can't help but admire this alone!" Everyone said yes! ”

The other ladies immediately chimed in: "That's it, Mrs. Tai also taught us well!" ”

"My daughter is also very skinny, so let's just give it to Mrs. Tai for training!"

Mrs. Tai was very happy by everyone, and said with a smile: "In this way, wouldn't I have become a mentor mother!" ”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.

But at this moment, a woman's scream suddenly sounded!
