Chapter 228: Invitation (Add. 3)
When the Song clan heard Shen's words, they were immediately aroused, but they didn't dare to attack, so they could only squint at Fang's eyes.
Fang lowered his head and cut his sideburns, not meeting Song's gaze.
She is like this, even if the Song family has a lot of anger, she has to suppress it, so her face is not very good-looking.
"Sister-in-law is still so articulate, I just ask, where do you dare to speculate on my mother's thoughts, Ling'er is not in good health, since my mother is not called in now, then I will go first, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, forgive me for taking the first step."
As Song spoke, he bowed slightly to Fang and Shen, and then turned around and left with the people around him.
Seeing that the Song family was gone, the Shen family also said to the Fang family and went back to his courtyard.
The people in the second and third rooms are gone, and outside the gate of Songhetang Courtyard, only the people in the big room are left.
Gu Anya took the girl, stood aside with low eyebrows, and the atmosphere was not much.
An Sheng took Qinghui, also hung his head, stood aside, and twisted the handkerchief tightly with both hands.
Fang Shi glanced at the two concubines, and his eyes were slightly cold.
After a while, he said lightly: "Since the old lady is gone, let's go back, everyone is gone, only you are here, what are you doing." ”
"Yes, Mother." When An Sheng and Gu Anya heard this, they both bowed their heads and said yes.
Fang's mood was not smooth, and it was not good to gang up at the two of them, seeing this, he shook the handkerchief and led the people to leave first.
An Sheng and Gu Anya glanced at each other, and they both followed quickly.
Not long after they left, Mama Xu, who went out to inquire about the specific news, came back.
After Mama Xu came back, she went directly to Xu's room.
Xu Shi leaned on the bed, and Pan Xia was serving her tea.
At this moment, Xu's face was no longer as ugly as Fang Cai, and An Sheng was when he saw her.
said it was sick, but it turned out to be really pretending.
Xu glanced at Mama Xu and asked, "What's the situation outside now?" ”
Mama Xu knew that the Xu family took this matter seriously, so she naturally didn't dare to delay, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly walked over, and blessed the Xu family, and said: "Back to the old lady's words, the slave maid inquired clearly, the things we sent up the mountain were sent to the army along the road donated by Hongji Temple, and after Master Puyun handed over the things to the monks of Shantang, he specially mentioned that it was something sent by our family, and the monks of Shantang, when they recorded the merit book, they recorded the Gu family in front, and now there is a rumor outside, and they all say that our Hou Ye is loyal and benevolent, The old lady has a good way of governing the family. ”
"Seriously!" When Xu heard Mama Xu's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Xu took the post, opened it, and couldn't help but smile even more in his eyes.
"Really," Mama Xu nodded with a smile, "What the slave heard with her own ears, can it be fake?" This patronizing spoke, the slave and the maid forgot it, when the slave and the maid came back, the Gu housekeeper took a post, and was about to send someone to send it to you, but it happened to meet the slave and the maid, so it was handed over to the slave and maid, the old lady, please see, it was the post of Mrs. Zuo Xiang. ”
"Zhou's post?" Xu's eyes were a little happy, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Mama Xu.
Seeing this, Mama Xu hurriedly handed the post to Xu's hands.
Mama Xu saw a smile in Xu's eyes, so she asked, "Old lady, tell me quickly, what does Mrs. Zuo Xiang ask you to do?" Look at your pleasure, tell the slaves and maids, and let the slaves and maids be happy. ”
Xu Shi listened to Mama Xu's words, and glanced at Mama Xu with a smile, "You, you are so old, and you are still a little happy like when you were young, but you are not so deep." ”
"The old lady taught me a lesson, the slave maid just can't learn like the old lady, don't you be shocked by the humiliation, so you have to follow the old lady to learn hard." Mama Xu knew that Xu didn't really reprimand her, so she naturally understood that she should pick what Xu liked to hear.
Sure enough, when Xu heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen.
At this time, her head no longer hurts, she is no longer angry, and her heart is open.
As soon as this heart is opened, the face will naturally be revealed.
Pan Xia hadn't seen Xu's smiling face since last night, and now that he saw Xu's smile, he was secretly relieved.
Although Xu didn't get angry at her, she also felt quite stressed when she looked at Xu's cold face.
Seeing that Xu finally smiled at this time, Pan Xia's heart was finally relieved.
"Mother Xu is right, old lady, you can do it, talk to the slaves and maids, and let the slaves and maids be happy and happy." Pan Xia people have a sweet mouth, a delicate timbre, and a deliberate compliment, so Xu is naturally useful.
"You two," Xu smiled and pointed at Mama Xu and Pan Xia, "Actually, it's not a big deal, at this time of year, Mrs. Zuo Xiang, don't you invite the wives of major families to listen to the play, she invited me to listen to the play." ”
Mrs. Zhou, the left minister, is very good at listening to the play, and there are two opera troupes in the house all the year round, which is quite famous in Yejing City.
Every year in mid-April and winter, Mrs. Zuo Xiang will invite people to listen to the play, but the most famous lady in Kyoto is invited.
Xu hasn't been to Zuo Xiangfu to listen to the play for several years, and now he is naturally happy to finally receive this post.
"The slave maid heard that the opera troupe in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion has the best singing, and the old lady will have a good ear." Mama Xu listened to Xu's words and was also very happy.
She is Xu's dowry maid, following Xu's family, all the way up and down in the Yongning Marquis Mansion to now, all her hopes are on Xu's.
Xu's life is good, she is naturally fine, Xu's is decent, she is naturally decent, so she is really happy for Xu's.
Pan Xia also has the same idea as Mama Xu.
She has always understood that her dignity was given by the Xu family, so she has always been loyal to the Xu family.
She has served the Xu family for so many years, and she has already figured out the Xu family's thoughts.
What the Xu family cares about most is the face of the Yongning Hou Mansion, but in recent years, the momentum of the Yongning Hou Mansion has become worse and worse, and it has long been no longer ranked among the noble families in Yejing City.
To put it bluntly, the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion is now just an empty marquis.
Over the years, the Xu family has been committed to restoring the prestige of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
It's a pity that there are not many descendants who will be born, and the Gu family has no real power in the court, which means that there is no right to speak, so the Xu family has always been powerless.
Even if Xu can give up his face and go out and walk around by himself, he has to be able to break into that circle.
If you can't get into the top circle, even if you move around, it's not very useful.
The left minister does not have any real power in the court, but the position of the people is there, and it is not that he has no right to speak at all.
Therefore, Mrs. Zuo Xiang invited someone to listen to the play, so that she could be invited.
