Chapter 356: Tacit Understanding
"Auntie, drink tea."
"Hmm."
Ding Rou handed her tea, she ate tea, handed snacks and she ate snacks, Ding Rou even wondered if she handed her poison, she would also eat it. The lady next to her talked to her, and she mostly smiled shyly, and she could only say one sentence when she was in a hurry: "The fourth grandmother has the final say, you still ask the fourth grandmother, I don't know anything, and I don't understand." β
The ladies smiled meaningfully, but Ding Rou calmed down and said, "Auntie's body has not recovered yet, you can go back and rest first." β
She immediately stood up and said, "Follow the instructions of the fourth grandmother." β
"Xiaohong, help me go back."
"Yes."
They left in a hurry, but Mrs. Xiao still saw a slight change in Ding Rou's expression, and sighed: "It's difficult for a daughter-in-law to be, although she is not a serious mother-in-law, but she has won the position of command, and you can't be negligent in Chapter 356." β
"Aunt Xu is not accustomed to water and soil, and she will understand in a few days of recuperation."
"I see that my cousin-in-law in the capital has pressed her too hard." Mrs. Buzheng said on the side: "I heard the master say that my cousin-in-law is very powerful, and she is really a slave and maid to the concubine, whether it is a good family or a girl who comes up." β
She talked about some of the Yang family's fierce things, which caused these ladies to show a surprised look, and she said with emotion: "The hardest thing is still your husband and wife, and my cousin-in-law is too cruel to my concubines." β
"That's not true, a mother is a wife, and she will never be as kind to her concubine as a sister." Ding Rou didn't answer her words, thinking that Yin Chengshan was angry with the Yang family, and she would cater to her face? Or like a little white flower, she plays the role of a concubine and daughter-in-law who is oppressed by her mother-in-law?
Even if the family is separated, they are all members of the Yin clan, Ding Rou can't get used to what the Yang family does, but as a wife, she can't say that the concubine is pitiful and needs love, not to mention listening to the meaning of her words, maybe she is suspecting that Yin Chengshan has calculated the Yang family, otherwise how could the aunt get her life under the hands of such a murderous Yang family, although she thinks the truth, she can't say it on the surface.
"Although my mother is stricter with my aunt, I still love my father-in-law, or I won't take the initiative to ask my aunt for a decree, let alone let me let Chapter 356 tacitly understand that my aunt will come to Guangzhou to recuperate, and I am grateful to my mother in my heart."
Mrs. Xiao smiled lightly: "You understand things, a concubine who looks like a wife is not necessarily a slave and a maidservant, but you can't speak for your concubine in everything, even if you give birth to a son?" The son can't call her mother. β
The political envoy's wife made a big red face, Ding Rou asked about the news in Guangzhou again, and led the words elsewhere, the atmosphere of the flower party was restored, Ding Rou was sighing that the clouds in the sky were scattered when Yaju walked up to her, Ding Rou smiled apologetically, got up and stepped aside, "What's the matter?" Is it an aunt? β
Yaju whispered two sentences in Ding Rou's ear, "It was the fourth young master who led the people to seal the account book of the tax officer of the maritime yamen and locked others in the yamen, and several adults were also there. ΜThe fourth young master knows that the news will not be hidden for long, so let you be more careful. β
Ding Rou nodded and said, "I understand." Then he instructed Yaju a few words, and Yaju nodded again and again, "Slave maid, let's go." β
Are you worried that after these ladies know the news, they will do something, is this what Yin Chengshan said to come to Ma Wei first? But why did he choose today? Ding Rou returned to the ladies with an ordinary face, and there was no one with the minister's eyes to ask Ding Rou what was the matter.
Ding Rou tried her best to delay the end of the flower meeting, and secretly ordered that outsiders should not be allowed to enter the house easily, and if her husband was imprisoned, their respective families would definitely get the news, and they would also be afraid that the next person would come to inform the housewife.
But the conversation alone can't last long, is Yin Chengshan sure to see the problem with the ledger? Ding Rou thought for a while, and said to a few ladies: "I got a few scrolls when I was in the capital, I'm not good at this, it's better to ask a few ladies for guidance, I only heard people say it's good, but it's not very clear where it is." β
Mrs. Xiao is a lover of painting and said: "Mrs. Ding's collection must be good, I beg you to bring it to me for a long time." β
"It is very inconvenient to move the scroll around, please move, there is an attic on the east side of the flower hall, which I regard as a place to collect paintings and calligraphy.
Mrs. Xiao hesitated a little, Ding Rou continued: "It's not that you don't want me to take it for you to see, it's really untouchable, I can't knock it, my grandfather told me to play thousands of times when I left the pavilion, if I break it a little, my grandfather will never spare me, and my grandfather also said that I will keep it personally, just because I am worried that the little girl will be damaged." β
"Lord Ding is so cautious, it must be a treasure." Mrs. Xiao's heart was completely moved, and she looked out of the window to see that the attic was in front of her, and she got up and said, "I'll go with Mrs. Ding." β
The vast majority of the ladies are only Mrs. Xiao's horse, not to mention that appreciating calligraphy and painting is a very elegant thing, Ding Rou dares to invite people to see it, it must be extraordinary to be able to see it, Ding Rou gives them a good impression, her information is in the hands of the lady who is sitting in the hand, and the daughter of the Ding family does not look like a concubine at all from the conversation.
At this time, people who can't go will feel shameless, Ding Rou quietly invited the guests, including the officials and wives mentioned by Yin Chengshan, and saw the importance of the information at this time.
Mother Wang walked out of the door, holding a fruit bowl in her hand, and after putting it on the table, she stroked Ding Rou's body: "Fourth grandmother, can you still order?" β
The finger in her cuff pointed to a silent lady, her husband was not within the scope of Yin Chengshan's audit, Ding Rou bowed her head and said, "Get some more fruit wine." β
"Did Mrs. Xue also go to see the paintings?" Ding Rou took the initiative to invite, but Mrs. Xue, who was not very conspicuous, was stunned and said with a light smile: "I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, and my temperament is dull, so let's sit here for a while." β
"What Mrs. Xue said, I couldn't see what was good at first, but then I heard people start to understand something, and after listening to everyone's explanation, there will be a day when Daigo empowerment suddenly opens up, Mrs. Xiao is very deep in calligraphy and painting, and the opportunity is really rare."
"You can't avoid it just because you're not good at it, right?"
Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips, to her status, and then the old fox, who has been the first lady in Guangzhou for so many years, everyone likes to listen to the words of Fengying, she heard it from the granddaughter who used to be the emperor, and Mrs. Xiao, who was born in a family, naturally knows the reputation of Mrs. Ding.
Mrs. Xue, who was delicate, hurriedly got up, "I'm afraid that I will make an ugly appearance when I don't understand, and you are not allowed to laugh at me at that time." β
"It's not easy to see at a glance." Ding Rou said with a smile.
Accompanied Mrs. Xiao, led seven or eight ladies to talk and laugh to the attic, along the way Mrs. Xiao nodded in her heart, entered the attic, there were two bookshelves on the first floor, although the books on it were not filled, but the collection of books was considerable, next to the window, there was a desk, the four treasures of the study room were placed in a staggered manner, a fragrance of ink came to the face, and on the wall was a spider plant, adding a touch of green.
The wide chaise longue is covered with thick bedding and a lamp on the side, and it is very comfortable to read a book on the chaise longue, and everyone slows down their steps and talks and laughs a little quieter, as if they are afraid of spoiling the tranquility of the book.
"The stairs are here." Ding Rou pointed to the side, "The stairs should be repaired, everyone be careful." β
Although the stairs are a little old, but far from the point of danger, the stairs are also cleaned up, everyone secretly said that Ding Rou is too cautious, with Mrs. Xiao upstairs, Ding Rou fell at the end, to make sure that everyone went up, made a gesture behind his back, Yaju, who wiped her sweat, guarded outside the attic, closed the door, it really didn't work to move the stairs again, Ding Rou liked the attic stairs very much, so he brought the ladies here.
Ding Rou lit all the lamps on the upper floor of the attic, and Mrs. Xiao saw the picture scroll hanging in the middle, her eyes were full of disbelief, "The real work is the real work of Wu Daozi." β
Many ladies are also mostly from scholarly families, clear about the preciousness of the calligraphy and painting hanging in the attic, after the Yuan and Mongolia ruled the Central Plains, many antique calligraphy and paintings were destroyed in the war, or incomplete and damaged, after the founding of the Great Qin re-emphasis on culture, but there has been nearly 30 years of cultural fault, contemporary calligraphy and painting are not much.
Only in the prosperous era will play antique calligraphy and painting, and most of the troubled times pay attention to gold and silver. Ding Rou saw that everyone was concentrating on appreciating the paintings, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, there are few antique calligraphy and paintings in other people's homes, but there are a lot of Xinyang palaces, and when the Liu family came out of the cabinet, she sent a batch over, according to Ding Rou's guess, it should be preserved by Queen Taizu, or her own mother, and any good things will be left to her, which is just used here.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up, she was happier than seeing gold and silver, and talked to the people next to her about how rare and how good, they looked at Ding Rou with a difference in their eyes, according to Mrs. Xiao's words, these paintings have no place to buy even if they have silver, but Ding Rou has, it is really rumored that she has a relationship with the county lord of Anyang, so Mrs. Xiao of Xinyang Wangfu asked: "Is this a gift from the county lord of Anyang?" β
Ding Rou nodded, "It's a makeup gift from the county lord, I also received a letter from the county lord two days ago, maybe at the beginning of spring, the county lord will tour Guangzhou south." β
Ordinary nobles will not make the governor's wife cautious, but the Xinyang palace is too special, and the age of the governor's wife has also experienced the most arrogant period of Mrs. Anguo, even the person who has the greatest influence on Emperor Wenxi now is none other than Mrs. Anguo.
"If the county lord really goes to Guangzhou, I will definitely want to see him."
Mrs. Xiao attaches great importance to Ding Rou again, and she can learn the news of the county lord of Anyang going to Beijing in advance, and they are close to each other. Ding Rou said: "The county lord is a very kind person, and then you will understand that it is not like Her Royal Highness the concubine." β
Others inquired about the news of Xinyang Wangfu through calligraphy and painting, Ding Rou's mouth kept talking, and it seemed that he had said a lot, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no useful news, and he spent nearly an hour in the attic, Yaju hugged him and said: "If you go back to the fourth grandmother, the adult has returned to the house." β
Ding Rou's heart finally put it in her stomach, it seems that Yin Chengshan is done, leading everyone down the attic, and a few ladies at the door received the news from outside, glared at Ding Rou unkindly, said goodbye, Mrs. Xiao said meaningfully: "Mrs. Ding, I have gained a lot of knowledge today." β
ps Tomorrow is guaranteed two watches, saying that Yin Chengshan is a person, he is really mean and ruthless, Ding Min didn't misunderstand him, but with Ding Rou, he can't become a loyal minister, but at least he won't be criticized, Yin Chengshan is a typical person with many eyes and a ruthless hand!!
