Chapter 84: The Third Aunt
As soon as Qin Mingyue entered the back garden of the Zeng family, she couldn't help but sigh, this place is still very beautiful. In her previous life, Qin Mingyue didn't have a good relationship with the Zeng family, so she didn't come to the back garden of the Zeng family, and when she saw the splendid blooming of the garden at this moment, she couldn't help but feel better.
A small lake with sparkling blue water has half of the lake above is full of lotus leaves, among the lotus leaves, there are three or five lotus buds standing proudly, although it is not yet the season of lotus blooming, but, seeing this scene, can also make people imagine the appearance of lotus flowers blooming in the lake in the future.
Surrounding the small lake is a circle of tender weeping willows, which are swaying in the breeze and look very wonderful.
However, this is not the main attraction of today's view, everyone went around the small lake and came to a flower garden behind the lake, and was immediately dazzled by the flowers in full bloom in front of them. It was a peony garden. At this moment, the peony has withered, but the peony is in the flowering period.
Peony is a flower, graceful and luxurious, the peony of the Zeng family is naturally a famous product, there are red cinnabar judgment, red Yan Fei Frost, purple purple goose Fei Frost, purple hydrangea, red sandalwood smoke, etc., fragrant and gorgeous.
However, it was not the peony in the flower garden that attracted Qin Mingyue. What attracted her was a woman standing in the flower garden wearing a silver and red ground gold embroidery thread folded branch and hundred flowers gown, and below it was a moon white thread sprinkled flower skirt.
The woman was slender, with thick black hair, a few white jade steps, a hairpin ring, and a freshly picked purple-red peony on her left sideburns.
The reason why this beautiful woman can attract Qin Mingyue is not because of her beauty, nor because of her luxurious dress. What attracted Qin Mingyue was which woman had a special temperament, which seemed a little wild and a little different. What's more, the Xuangui Jade Plate, which had not moved all along, suddenly moved.
Following the voice of the Xuan Turtle, it appeared in Qin Mingyue's sea of knowledge: "Oh, a little witch." This sentence was very vague, and when I heard it, it was just a muttering sentence from the turtle's sleep.
However, this little witch had already shocked Qin Mingyue's heart, and she was busy shouting at the Xuangui in the sea of knowledge: "Lord Xuangui, is this woman a witch?" Gentome-sama, what can you see? ”
It's a pity that no matter how loud Qin Mingyue screamed in the sea of knowledge, the Xuan Turtle didn't react at all, and obviously fell into a deep sleep again.
Mrs. Hu Shi, the prince on the side, saw that Qin Mingyue's face had changed, and then looked at Qin Mingyue's eyes, and happened to see the silver-red beauty figure in the flowers, and couldn't help but look bad, this slut is really lawless with the favor of the Hou Ye, on such an occasion, where is the reason for the aunt to participate, she actually ran to the flower garden, it is really a disappointment.
Hu Shi hurriedly piled up and said with a smile: "Miss Mingyue, that is the third aunt of our family's marquis." Maybe I want to take advantage of the good weather to pick a flower, and I guess I'll go back soon. Won't disturb our banquet. ”
Looking at Qin Mingyue's unsightly face, thinking of the past, Qin Mingyue didn't pretend to her cousin, and estimated that this Qin Mingyue might hate her aunt or something. This is also normal. The daughters of large families are all noble and high-minded, and it is normal to look down on their aunts.
Hu's words also attracted the attention of many ladies. Everyone is a human spirit, so naturally they all saw the third aunt of the Zeng family. These ladies are all from several aunts. As the ladies of the main room, they naturally hate their aunts, and they are naturally not happy to see the third aunt of the Zeng family on such an occasion. Even many ladies are muttering, no wonder I heard that the Zeng family spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, and on an occasion like today, the concubine dares to come out blatantly to hang out, which is really unorthodox.
Hearing such words, Hu's face became even worse, and he became even more angry with this unruly third aunt. However, it was not her husband's aunt, it was her mother-in-law, her father-in-law's aunt. As a daughter-in-law, how can she take care of the affairs of the father-in-law's house?
Hu Shi gave the little maid beside him a look. The little maid hurriedly went to the third aunt's side and said something.
The third aunt glanced here, and the wind in her eyes was really amorous. The third aunt did not come over to salute everyone, but looked at Qin Mingyue seriously, then flicked her handkerchief and walked away.
Seeing this, Hu's face completely darkened. The faces of the ladies were not good-looking, and everyone's interest in seeing flowers was reduced. Some ladies even said directly to Hu Shi: "Mrs. Shizi, your mother-in-law has been sick in bed for a long time, and the housekeeper has been much lax. As the wife of the prince, you must also stand up. Otherwise, this hall of the marquis mansion has no rules, what kind of system will it become? ”
Hu Shi could only respond, but his face became even more bitter, this father-in-law's aunt, can one of her daughters-in-law manage it?
Qin Mingyue, who was on the side, looked at the disappearing figure of the third aunt, thought for a while and said to the Hu family: "I don't know how it happened, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, maybe the sun is too hot." I took the liberty of saying goodbye. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Hu Shi was taken aback, and naturally he was bitter and bitter. However, Qin Mingyue had to go, and said a lot of good things, but the Hu family couldn't keep it, so he could only send it out in person, watched Qin Mingyue get into the carriage, and instructed the Zeng family to send a carriage of gifts to Qin Mingyue to bring before returning to the flower garden.
At this moment, the ladies, in the hospitality of Zeng Wuniang, were drinking tea and chatting in Changxuan in the middle of the flower garden. Naturally, Qin Mingyue suddenly said goodbye.
One lady said, "No wonder Miss Mingyue is leaving." The third aunt in this house can't even give a courtesy, and she is presumptuous. There are no rules like this, can Miss Mingyue tolerate it? ”
Mrs. Yu also said: "My niece is the most arrogant. She's a serious young lady from the government. Our aunt's wife gave birth to two sons, and there is only such a daughter, so naturally she has painful eyes. However, she was angry again, and was actually selected by the Xuangui Jade Plate and became the closed disciple of the National Teacher. The future is limitless, that is, the palace is always moving, and the queen and the queen mother are often rewarded. Where can she endure the provocation of such a concubine who is not on the stage? However, she has such a noble identity, and when she comes here as a guest, she naturally can't lose the face of the host, so she can only choose to go back. Ay. ”
When everyone heard Mrs. Yu's words, they naturally agreed. There were also a few ladies who heard the closeness between Mrs. Yu and Qin Mingyue in her words, and then remembered that Mrs. Yu was Qin Mingyue's aunt, and Qin Mingyue was gone at this moment, so she couldn't stammer, but Qin Mingyue's aunt didn't leave, so she just stammered Mrs. Yu.
Immediately, several petty officials and wives stammered around Mrs. Yu. Madame Jade was triumphant.
Seeing his mother-in-law like this, Yin Dyed Qiu on the side was naturally even more angry. At the same time, she was also very surprised.
