Chapter 26: Self-inflicted humiliation

When the other ladies heard this, they all looked over and looked like they were watching a play.

In the Chu Dynasty, the status of the merchants has always been the lowest, and Mrs. Wang said this in public to belittle the Lu family.

Mrs. Lou, who organized this tea party, did not have any intention of playing a round, and Liu's face was proud.

Lu Shi heard the other party's disparagement, and he couldn't express his anger, so he replied vaguely: "Some small transactions are not worth mentioning." ”

Mrs. Wang didn't let go of this opportunity, with a hint of ridicule, "Sister Lu doesn't want to say it, forget it, it's difficult to do business now, and my sisters just want to help you." ”

Lu Shi clenched his hands tightly, bowing his head and not daring to look at the eyes of others looking at her, she shouldn't have come today.

Losing such a big face to the Yang family, the Lu family regretted it in his heart, and felt that he was really useless.

The Liu family and Mrs. Lou glanced at each other, and saw that the Lu family was so easily defeated, they really couldn't get to the hall of elegance, and they hadn't made a move yet.

Mrs. Lou was about to make a round of speech, and a young and calm voice was one step faster than her: "Mrs. Wang, forgive me, it's not that my mother doesn't want to say it, it's that you won't buy it, because I can't afford it, and I don't want everyone to be embarrassed." ”

After Yang Qiaoyue finished speaking, she calmly took a sip of tea.

Mrs. Wang was stunned and looked at Yang Qiaoyue, she was insulted by a little kid, and her face became very ugly!

didn't want to lose face, so he said stiffly: "The eldest girl of the Yang family, it's not good to talk big at a young age, my family can't afford anything." ”

The Liu family suddenly felt bad, she still knew something about the Lu family's background, and if Mrs. Wang went on like this, she would be embarrassed, and she wanted to interject.

Yang Qiaoyue would give her this opportunity, and said lightly: "Su Xiuyunjin!" ”

Mrs. Wang sneered: "Isn't it just a cloth seller, it's approaching the New Year, and I just want to pull a few new clothes for the family, so I choose this." ”

Liu and Mrs. Lou looked at Mrs. Wang with the appearance of a frog at the bottom of the well, and they were really embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was inexplicably quiet, and Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Lou and noticed her shaking her head, but the words had already been spoken.

"Then I will thank Mrs. Wang for her support on behalf of my uncle's family, I think the master will be willing to spend half a year's monthly money to buy a horse."

Half? The corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth twitched, how could it be so expensive...... The face is as ugly as eating a fly, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

Although her husband is the chief bookkeeper, Yan County is a barren county, with a thin salary and no oil and water, not to mention spending half a year to buy a piece of cloth, it is difficult for the family to endure even a month.

The Lu family has regained her composure between their words, she has been married to the Yang family for decades, and she doesn't know much about the situation of her mother's family, she only knows that her father and brother started by selling cloth, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.

Yang Qiaoyue actually didn't know very well, but the piece on her body was given by her uncle, which was made by the rare Su Xiuyun brocade, so she dared to be so sure.

The atmosphere was deadlocked, Mrs. Lou hurriedly came out to play a round, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mrs. Lu's mother's family to make Su embroidered cloud brocade, which is not something that can be bought with money, and many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing have rushed to buy it, and they can also enter the palace." Presumably, even if we are willing to give money, we can't rank it. ”

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally relieved the siege, otherwise she would have lost her money or lost face today, and threw a grateful look at Mrs. Lou. (Fi

st blood)

Mrs. Lou didn't care, and glanced at Yang Qiaoyue more, this woman was so old, she trampled Mrs. Wang under her feet without saying a word.

This kind of heart can compare to all the young girls she has seen over the years.

With the experience of the past just now, others did not dare to provoke the Lu clan easily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Yang Qiaoyue didn't bother to argue with this group of people, and Mrs. Lao, who was sitting next to her, didn't talk much, and didn't participate in the conversations of other ladies.

obviously doesn't like this kind of flattery and comparison with each other, Yang Qiaoyue can't interject from there, but chats with her from time to time.

After a few conversations, you can feel her talent, her husband is a famous teacher in Yan County, and he will naturally not be bad as a wife.

Mrs. Lao also felt very pleasing to the eye when she looked at the little girl in front of her, especially when she had just protected her mother, and her filial piety was commendable.

Lou Tingting chatted with several other ladies, originally wanting to isolate Yang Qiaoyue, but she didn't expect the other party to have a good conversation with Mrs. Lao. For Mrs. Lao, her mother is very respectful, and has always wanted to invite her to teach her at home, but unfortunately she has not been invited.

Lou Tingting couldn't say a word to Mrs. Lao every time, and when she saw Yang Qiaoyue chatting so happily, she suddenly felt displeased.

It was her friend Yang Chen's sisters who came to play before, and when she thought of her good sisters being bullied, the more she looked at Yang Qiaoyue unpleasantly.

Slowly walked to Yang Qiaoyue and sat down, with a well-behaved and lovely look, and took the initiative to talk to Yang Qiaoyue one sentence after another.

Girls from several other families also gathered around, looking like friends with handkerchiefs.

Lou Tingting pretended to be naïve and asked: "Sister Yang, I heard that you are from the countryside, and we have never been to the countryside, can you tell us about the customs of the countryside?" ”

The conversation here also attracted the attention of the other ladies, who all showed contempt.

Yang Qiaoyue narrowed her eyes, this was the other party who stretched her face over, and said with a harmless smile: "What is there to say in the countryside, but it is similar to Yan County." If my sister is so interested, I can tell you about the cultural customs and delicacies of Jingshi, but you haven't been there anyway. ”

Lou Tingting was stunned, her face was aggrieved, she felt embarrassed, how could she bear such humiliation when she had always been arrogant.

changed his previous naivety, and scolded viciously: "Isn't it just a dead farmer in the countryside who collects dung, arrogant, it's just an insult to the official's background!" ”

Yang Qiaoyue smiled faintly: "Taizu was born in a farmer's household, and he often mentioned the days of farming and collecting dung in the court. Knowing the sufferings of the people, he warned the officials that the people are their food and clothing, and they should be grateful. Are you despising Taizu and mocking the heavenly family? ”

Lou Tingting didn't know the severity of the matter, and the other wives on the side were already scared. Who dares to talk about the affairs of the Heavenly Family, let alone despise such a big crime as Taizu, but he will be killed.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly scolded her daughter: "Tingting, shut up! The more you talk about it, the more you go too far, your father cares about the people of Yan County, and he also often works in the fields, who taught you to say such things. Lock you up for half a month, and don't go back to your room to reflect. ”

It was the first time for Lou Tingting to be taught such a harsh lesson by her mother, her eyes turned red and she walked away crying. (duoble kill)

Mrs. Lou ignored her daughter's grievances and apologized to Yang Qiaoyue: "Miss Yang, don't mind, that child is straightforward and has no bad intentions." We are deeply favored by the emperor, how dare we mock Taizu. ”

"Mrs. Lou is serious, it doesn't matter if I don't mind as a junior, if those words are heard by someone who cares, it won't be as kind as I am."

"Yes, thank you girl." Mrs. Lou was taught a lesson by a junior, how could her face be good-looking.

Mrs. Gou saw it in her eyes and wanted to please Mrs. Lou, so she immediately came forward.

"Miss Yang, in fact, I don't agree with what you said about Jingshi Yan County just now. No matter how good the Jingshi is, he will be driven out, and no matter how barren Yan County is, it will always be a place to live. ”

This almost said that the Yang family was driven out by the Jingshi, and Yan County took them in, even the Liu family's face was a little ugly.

Lu Shi looked at it, this round of battles, this group of people was clearly aimed at them, and he held his breath in his heart.

Mrs. Lou was just deflated, and she didn't want to provoke Yang Qiaoyue any more, so she wanted to divert the topic: "Mrs. Gou, where you go, it's not the same everywhere." ”

Yang Qiaoyue didn't appreciate it, and dragged the words back, "Mrs. Gou, please forgive the juniors for being rude, I really don't agree with what I said just now." ”

"A toad that only stays in the well forever, really thinks that the sky is only as big as the mouth of the well, so she can only be a toad sitting in the well and watching the sky. Although the caterpillar knows that it may fail, it is still willing to suffer and risk its life, turns into a butterfly, flies into the sky, and sees a world different from that of a toad. ”

Mrs. Gou rubbed and stood up: "You said I was a toad!" ”

"I didn't say that, it was Madame herself who took the seat, and I'm sorry if I hurt Madame." Yang Qiaoyue said that she was blessed with a blessed body. (t

iple kill)

"Treat the elders, is this the kind of upbringing of the Yang family?" Mrs. Gou looked at the Lu family when she spoke, hoping that she could scold Yang Qiaoyue and teach her a lesson and save face.
