Chapter 448: Hiding the Head and Revealing the Tail
The next day, Mrs. Li handed over a post to the house of Zhongqinbo (the newly rewarded title of the house town).
Mrs. Fang received Mrs. Li's post, and said strangely to the maids close to her: "The greeting post sent by the Ministry of Servants' Mansion? Our general has a relationship with Li Shilang? β
After thinking about it, the girls shook their heads. Pearl said: "Madam, don't you always say that the general doesn't like to associate with civilian officials, that those literati speak in a crepe, and they still have a crooked stomach. Listening to them, I feel tired! β
Mrs. Fang knew that her master, because she was a general under General Zhao in the previous dynasty, she had only a general relationship with the court, whether she was a military official or a military attachΓ©. On weekdays, there are a few close friends when she was in the boudoir, and some wives who love flowers and plants, and some contacts. This Li Shilang's wife has never crossed paths before, okay?
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what this Mrs. Li wants today?" Mrs. Fang said to herself.
Amber said quickly: "I see, she is a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chickenβnot well-intentioned!" β
"Say what? She is willing to be this weasel, and Madame, I am not willing to be a 'chicken'! Mrs. Fang glanced at her with disgust and feigned anger.
Amber hurriedly slapped her mouth lightly, begging for mercy: "Look at the broken mouth of the slave, she always can't hold the door!" The slave said the wrong thing, please punish the lady! β
"Forget it this time! In the future, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble outside. Madame, I want to protect you, but I may not be able to save it!! "Mrs. Fang is still more tolerant of these girls who almost grew up around her. However, what should be taught must be taught!
Linglong hurriedly came out to relieve the little sister and said: "Speaking of Mrs. Li Shilang's visit, the slave maid thinks that it may be related to the young lady?" β
"Grass? Cao'er, this child, since he came to Beijing, has either run errands in Huangzhuang, or stayed at home to play with Lin'er, and rarely intersected with the eunuchs in Beijing. How do you recognize Mrs. Lee? "What happened at the Douhua meeting, I was afraid that my godmother would worry about herself, so Xiaocao reported the good news and not the worries after coming back, and only told me about the outing with the lord of Minglan and Shuangshu in Beijing to go to Huangzhuang. didn't say a word about Li Meirou making things difficult for her.
Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "Although Miss has nothing to do with Mrs. Li, the last time I participated in the Flower Fighting Party, I had some friction with Miss Li......
"What? Did the girl of the Li family bully our grass? Mrs. Fang sat up straight, frowned and looked at the post in her hand, wondering if she should hang Mrs. Li Shilang for a while! For her daughter, Mrs. Fang thinks she knows a lot. Xiaocao, that child, never takes the initiative to cause trouble. However, if someone else provokes her, she is not the master of the hot mouth.
Sure enough, Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Madam, with Miss Li's rank, can you bully our girl?" Of course, I was scolded back by the lady! β
Mrs. Fang tossed the post aside and asked with interest, "Oh? Tell me, what's going on? β
On the day of the Flower Fighting Party, Li Meirou talked about her girl's background and wanted to isolate her own miss, but she was refuted by her own girl and was speechless, and finally became the one who was isolated by the ladies. Her own girl has won the favor of the lord of Minglan and Shuangshu in the capital!
"Happy!" Mrs. Fang slapped the table, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Hmph! How good can Li Shilang's background be? However, a poor student, he can't pick his hand or lift it, if it weren't for the help of the Yue family, he wouldn't even be able to make up the travel expenses to enter Beijing to catch the exam! At the beginning of our founding of the country, all industries were waiting to be developed, and the imperial court was in urgent need of talents, so a person like Li Shilang who had benefited from scientific research was left in the capital! If you want to put it in the past dynasties, Li Shilang has to be released, there are no more than ten or twenty years, and it is even more difficult to mix with a Beijing official! Her Li Meirou's foreign family is just a local squire, and that girl also grew up in the countryside. How many years has she only been in the capital? Just hold the shelf and look down on others?! She deserves it too?! β
"No wonder Miss said that the more people with low self-esteem in their bones, the more they have to hit others and seek psychological balance. This Miss Li probably belongs to this kind of person! Linglong quite agreed with Miss's theory.
Mrs. Fang looked at her powerful girl with amusement. Because of Linglong's thoughtfulness and stability, he was sent to his daughter's side to run errands several times. Unexpectedly, this girl gradually became a die-hard supporter of her daughter.
In his own daughter's yard, there is no shortage of girls, but there is a lack of a daughter-in-law who is in charge. Linglong will be eighteen at the beginning of spring next year, and she will reach the age of marriage. Mrs. Fang was thinking about which young steward in the house had a good prospect and would marry Linglong. When the time comes, one of the two will be on an errand in the outer courtyard, and the other will serve by the side of the girl. After a few years of training, when the girl got married, these two families married together. One is in charge of the affairs of the outer court, and the other is in charge of the inner house......
Linglong was looked at by her wife for a while, and asked softly a little inexplicably: "Madam, but what is wrong with the slave maid?" β
"Nope!" Mrs. Fang thought about it and decided to test this girl to see what she planned for the future. If she wants to be released and restore her good status, she won't be reluctant, "Linglong, you're not too young!" Do you have someone you like? β
Linglong was coldly asked by Mrs. like this, she blushed, and changed the topic with a little shame: "Madam, then Mrs. Li Shilang is still waiting outside!" See, or no, you give me a quasi-word! β
Mrs. Fang laughed a few times and said, "Okay, good! It's not the right time, I'll let you go first! However, you also have to have a charter in mind. As the eldest lady of your Earl's Palace, you are good-looking and smart, and you have been wronged by marrying a small family and being a lady! Of course, if you want to stay in the mansion, I will ask the lord if there are any young stewards in the outer courtyard with a good future......"
"Madam...... Linglong's face was as red as the sunset at dusk, and she tried to change the topic, "I heard that Li Shilang and Madame have spoiled their daughter to the sky. You said, this Mrs. Li didn't come to the door to help Miss Li get justice, right? β
"Justice?" Mrs. Fang snorted coldly and said, "If she dares to mention the matter of the Douhua Club, I can spray her in the face!" How long has their family been out of the mud legs, and they have been looking down on my daughter? Go! 'Please' Mrs. Li in, I'll meet her!! β
At this time, Li Shilang's wife was in the carriage, and told Li Meirou, who was dressed as a girl, and said, "Rou'er, my mother knows that I have wronged you this time!" However, if you can understand the righteousness so well, your father will definitely compensate you for the grievances you have suffered in the future! When the time comes, if you're too embarrassed to speak, just keep your head down and look like you know you're wrong. No matter what the lady says, you can endure it......"
"Mother, I know!" Li Meirou hated it so much in her heart! That lowly girl, I don't know where it is good, so that King Yangjun can protect her! Not to mention whether the king of Yangjun is a relative of the emperor, he is still a celebrity favored by the emperor. Although she is deep in the boudoir, she has also heard that King Yangjun is a person who must be repaid. If you offend him, your father's future is over!
Li Meirou was taken to the capital when she was six years old, and she already remembered it at that time. saw the prosperity of the capital and the power of the position brought her fast. After feeling it, let her go back to a small place that is closed and backward, and she can't stay for a moment. She doesn't want to leave the capital, doesn't she just want a lowly girl to apologize! Han Xin also suffered the humiliation of her crotch, for the sake of her father's future and her own future, she decided to endure the humiliation!
After doing full mental construction, Li Meirou seems to be extremely well-behaved. This made Mrs. Li very pleased, and felt sorry for her daughter's intimacy.
"When I enter the inner courtyard later, I will accidentally knock over the hand stove, and you will change your clothes while you are changing. In this way, in the eyes of others, I am just bringing two girls into the Zhongqin Uncle's Mansion. Your little sisters, you won't know that you came to apologize to Lord Yu......" Mrs. Li also broke her heart in order to protect her daughter's face.
Li Meirou hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Mother, you said that the surname Yu, will you make a big publicity?" By stepping on my face, to achieve her fame? β
Mrs. Li pondered for a moment and said, "Later, I will meet that Lord Yu." If she is really that kind of person, my mother will think of other ways! β
When Linglong came to invite someone, Mrs. Li took her daughter dressed as a maid and a personal girl and got off the carriage.
"Mrs. Li, I've kept you waiting! Our little boy was a little pestering in the morning, and it was not easy for Mrs. to appease him! Linglong glanced at Li Meirou, who was hanging her head, and only felt that this maid was a little familiar, so she took another look.
Mrs. Li quietly stepped forward, blocked her view, and said with a smile: "When children are so old, they all like to be clingy. It's only been these two years, and when you're older, it's hard to get him close to you! β
Sure enough, after entering the inner courtyard, Mrs. Li "accidentally" knocked over the hand stove, and the silver frost charcoal ash inside stained her clothes. She pretended to apologize and said, "Look at it, this is old, and my hands and feet are not dexterous. You can't go to see Mrs. Fang like this, how rude! This girl, can you find a room where I can change my clothes and visit again? β
In the past few days, Linglong's impression of Li Meirou is still relatively deep. At this time, she had already recognized Li Meirou dressed as a maid, and when she saw Mrs. Li's behavior, she already knew her plan in her heart, and sneered in her heart: This sneaky behavior is definitely not trying to find fault with the door. If Li Meirou occupies Li'er, it will definitely be known to the world.
After thinking about it, two days ago, in order to make his young lady angry, King Yangjun publicized the vegetables and fruits in the shop to the outside world, and forever banned the sale of vegetables and fruits to Li Shilang's mansion. Could it be that these two girls are here for this? Admit your mistake generously, maybe your own young lady has a lot of adults, and she doesn't have the same knowledge as her. can see the play performed by the two of them, Linglong commented on this Miss Li in her heart: I want to be a watch again, and I want to set up an archway!
