002 The Controversy of Concubines
The sun was shining and the wind was blowing.
In fact, Liuli didn't have much time to figure out what happened, because she was soon taken to the door of Anxi Hall in the main courtyard by a small sedan chair. Another well-dressed mother-in-law looked at her twice, and then immediately led her into the side room, and the two maids kept looking at her with their lips pursed, washing their hands and washing their faces.
Being able to enjoy this treatment is not what she thought she was valued at first, but because she is a "family ugly" and it is inconvenient to publicize it at present. And because she came here to be useful, she was very cautious.
Liuli was silent and followed their arrangement, knowing that she was going to meet Mrs. He and the others normally, and secretly calculated how to deal with it.
Eight years ago, she was really nine years old, except for He Qian, the biggest official she had ever seen was the magistrate, like Shangshu, a minister who could see the Son of Heaven every day, only seen in the play.
Mrs. He is a big official to her, and she has never been a grandfather who can be spoiled and pampered. Even if he knew this, he couldn't help but panic when he met, and he showed a lot of timidity. But now it's not like in the past, she is already familiar with the people and things in this mansion, and even a powerful and noble person like the general of Zhenguo has been in contact, so naturally she is no longer afraid of facing a second-grade civil official.
As soon as the coral bead curtain sounded while speaking, with a low singing voice, a maid with a pink and green silk walked in, and listened to the whisper of the mother-in-law who greeted her, and then looked at Liuli. Liuli sat with her hands on her knees, and also glanced at the maid. The maid was slightly surprised, smiled softly at her, walked over, and pulled her up: "Girl, please come with me." ”
The mother-in-law followed, and from time to time laughed and said a few words to the maid. The maid just smiled and didn't reply, and she had the style of a first-class steward.
When he arrived at the main hall, before he could stretch out his hand, someone by the door had already opened the curtain, bent down and smiled: "Miss Biyun is back." Biyun still held the glass, entered the curtain, went around the screen, and saw a group of brocade embroidered clothes sitting in the tripartite group, so he let go of his hand and rushed to the old man Yingying, who was wearing a homely robe embroidered with blue satin embroidered silver crutches: "Back to the old lady, the glass girl is here." ”
Old lady He snorted, his eyes swept to Liuli's body slightly, and her tightly knit brows seemed to be tightened again.
Biyun retreated, and there were no outsiders in the hall.
He Mingming covered her lips and coughed, "This kid, why don't you say hello?" I thought I had never seen the world, and I was stunned. ”
Old Lady He snorted.
Because of the preparation of the chant, everyone has no ornaments, that is, the women, and only a jade ring ribbon pressure skirt is left on each body, so there is no sound in the action, and when they do not speak, the whole main hall is quiet.
Liuli took two steps forward, knelt down with both legs, and bowed three times upright. He Qian said: "Hurry up and ask the old lady to be safe." Old lady He reprimanded: "Village girl, who called it that? He Lingyi didn't dare to squeak.
There was a slight noise coming from below.
Liuli knocked again: "Folk girl Xu Liuli, meet Lord Shangshu." ”
The small body meticulously bowed to the ground and bowed. The old lady stopped talking, flicked her sleeves, and looked away.
He Lingming frowned. A female voice on the right also laughed and said, "Miss Xu is here today, so it's better for all the people here to see it." ”
Old lady He was speechless. He Qian squeezed out some mist on his face, raised his hand and said, "Annoying the second brother and sister, just lead them to see each other." ”
The second lady Liang stood up, came to Liuli's side, looked at it, and raised her lips and said: "It's just that the girl Haihan, today is special, and she doesn't have anything on her body, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give a meeting gift for the time being." ”
It stands to reason that no matter what, Liuli is accepted into the house as a descendant of the He family to chant the scriptures, that is, the people are locked in front of the wind, and a few people in their own family can not avoid this hurdle. If you give it, you admit it, but the old lady didn't speak, and no one could reach out.
Liang took the prayer and chant scripture as a reason, and put aside this power gently and skillfully, no matter whether he recognized it in the future or not, he did not leave any handle.
Liuli said: "The folk girl doesn't dare." ”
Liang began to count down from the man in green shirt under He Ming: "This is the second master, the third master, the fourth master......" Liuli greeted him seriously one by one, and all the masters only hummed and hurriedly went to sweep the color of Old Lady He. This is at a loss, but it seems that Liuli is the master and everyone is a guest.
The old lady got up with her sleeves back: "Let's go to the Buddha Hall first." ”
Biyun then came in to do something. The second master, the third master, and the fourth master followed each other left and right, and He Lingyuan glanced at Liuli and went out. Liang hesitated whether to follow, and the second master, He Jianghong, glanced at her and left her behind.
Seeing this, the rest of the ladies had no choice but to stay.
Liang glanced at Liuli and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have to meet the ladies." Leading her to the right, the seat of the right head was empty, the woman stopped, faced the third snail lady, and said, "This is the third lady, and now it is the third lady, and you must bow well." ”
The third lady, Qi Shi, sat upright, her eyes half-down to her fingertips. Liuli was about to bow down, and someone under the Qi family laughed: "The second sister-in-law listens to this, but it seems that there is something in the words, isn't it that if the third sister-in-law is not a third-grade order, shouldn't she do a good job?" ”
Although it was a joke, there was a choking smell in the air.
The second lady Liang held Liuli's shoulder, still smiling gently: "The fourth lady's father is Dali Siqing, and she has also practiced a clever mouth since she was a child. When it comes to adding oil and vinegar, no one can match you. ”
The fourth lady's face sank: "The second sister-in-law has won the award." The second sister-in-law is rich and rich, and her mouth is cultivated in business and mixed trading, which makes me ashamed of myself from the Zhengqing Mansion! ”
The Liang family's maiden family is an imperial merchant, and it is exclusively for the pearls and jade used by the noble masters in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that there was a young lady in the Liang family who became the prince's concubine, as the daughter of a merchant, Ben Gao would not be able to climb a family like Shangshufu. This has always been a sore spot that Liang does not want to be touched.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Ruri didn't plan to make a sound. At this time, they may be longing for her to come out and be a flout.
However, these things really weren't something she could avoid if she wanted to. The third lady Qi, who had been silent, flicked her nails at this time and spoke up: "Why didn't the second sister-in-law take her to meet the sister-in-law?" ”
The eldest lady is He Yuan's original partner Yu. Since I heard that Liuli is going to enter the house, the Yu family has not shown up today, who brings Liuli over at this time, isn't it uncomfortable?
Liuli looked at the third lady meaningfully and sighed in her heart.
Fortunately, Liang was not stupid, smiled slowly, and sat down on the chair, "I also eat salty radishes and worry about it, the third brother and sister are thoughtful, but my son is tired and too lazy to move around." ”
Nie let out a long snort, pulled out his handkerchief and turned it away, leaving the back of his head to rush to this side.
Liuli retreated to Liang's side silently.
The third lady Qi said: "The girl and the second lady are close. ”
Liang turned his head, and Qi said again: "It doesn't look like a countryman who shrinks his head like that." ”
Liang smiled: "It's rare to get a word of praise from the third lady, but Miss Xu still doesn't thank you?" Liulifu thanked him, Liang took a silk to print his chin, leaned on the coffee table with one elbow, and seemed to be indifferent: "I heard that it is also a scholarly family, how much do you know some etiquette?" A person like our eldest master, although he is messing around, he is very picky, whether she is a famous lady or a minister's daughter, but if there is anything that is not eye-catching, he will never ask for it. ”
These words sounded like a mother who lifted Liuli, but in fact, when the eldest son of He Mansion was not yet married, the eldest lady of Nie Mansion and Lu had tactfully expressed her admiration, and the elders of both sides also had the intention of marrying with He Fu, but He Xiang heard that although Miss Nie was beautiful and glamorous, and she was good at poetry, she had big feet, so she died and did not want to get married. Nie Mansion has been an official for several generations, and the old lady Nie was also a guard of the former emperor, and the old lady He was not yet the second grade at that time, so he was afraid of offending this colleague, and there happened to be a fourth-ranked sister-in-law who was the same age as the fifth lady from Nie Mansion, so he desperately handed over the media post and hurriedly saved the situation.
The mother of the fourth lady is Mrs. Nie's dowry ring, and she has always been the only one who obeys Mrs. Nie's order, and the Nie family has changed her name to call Mrs. Nie as her mother and Miss Nie as her sister.
Now although Liang did not name names, but no one present could not hear it, Nie's face, who originally bowed his head to drink tea, was blue and red, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally put the cup on the table and snorted heavily.
Liang couldn't hide his pride, but it was inconvenient to be too much, so he pulled up Liuli and asked a few trivial words.
The three concubines are here with open guns and hidden arrows, and the girls heard it really outside, and they came in early to serve tea and water. Nie Shi was angry and had nowhere to come out, so he summoned someone who accidentally spilled a little tea and raised his hand to fan two ear brackets, and then he was a little satisfied.
Liuli sat on the small pestle, sighing in her heart, while waiting for the moment of summoning to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures, trying to suppress the sound of breathing.
Things have developed so far, basically in line with the meeting in my impression, if it continues like this, she will be sold to the He family as a slave, and then maybe she will still have to marry to the general's mansion again, or be beaten to death again, so that her chance to be reborn will be wasted.
While meditating, a person came in from outside the screen, bowed his head and said to the women: "The monk has arrived, please move the three ladies." Yu Guang swept the glass standing up behind him, and added, "Please Miss Xu also go over." ”
The concubine got up immediately, and Liang straightened her sleeves and said, "Has the eldest lady arrived?" ”
The person waited for Qi Nie and the two to step out of the threshold, and then turned around and said: "The second master has something to say, because the northern Xinjiang won another battle last month, and the emperor approved a number of orders from the ministry to go to the border pass. The second master meant to let the lady follow the eldest lady for the past few days, so as not to touch the moldy head, and it was not easy to speak when she came to Lord Zuocheng. ”
After hearing this, Liang was suddenly surprised: "The master wants to be transferred to the border pass, there is such a thing?!" At the same time, she couldn't help but look at the glass waiting for her by the door, and saw that she was looking intently at the two hibiscus outside the door, so she suppressed her expression, turned around and said calmly: "You go back to the master, just say I know." ”
