Chapter 109: Portrait
The Zhang family is one of the local clans in the county of Barbarians, and they have a lot of power in the city, and the family is naturally very large.
The third lady of the Zhang family in front of Ye Hao and the others is the concubine of the second room, and it is only because her father spoils his concubine and kills his wife, and her mother is favored, that her status will rise.
Compared with Zhang Xuehai, the eldest son of the big house, it is not enough to see, not to mention that she is still a daughter.
The big house and the second room of the Zhang family have always been not harmonious in private, especially when Zhang Xuehai took over his grandfather's official position and became the most powerful existence in the family.
And his wife, who is Mrs. Wu's cousin and the daughter of the Song family, makes the other party even more resentful.
There are twists and turns in this, and Ye Hao has already drawn a relationship map in her heart to distinguish the complex communication.
However, no matter what, the other party must have had a holiday with Mrs. Wu.
"What's wrong with my own stuff? It's better than a sick child, no matter how good your family background is, no matter how kind your husband's family is, I don't know if you have this life to enjoy!"
The angry Miss Zhang Jiasan's face turned blue, and she cursed Mrs. Wu viciously.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Wu has been sick for half a month, and she used to be a lively person, but she didn't even see her figure during this time.
Everyone only thought that she was suffering from some serious illness, and this person would speak evil words and curse her for being terminally ill.
There was a lot of noise here, and there were many other ladies and ladies standing nearby, who seemed to be admiring the flowers and plants in the yard.
But they had been staring at the same place for a long time, and they didn't move a single step, obviously absent-minded.
Ye Hao and Mrs. Wu knew in their hearts that it was just an excuse to deal with outsiders, so they didn't get angry.
However, there was another voice, coming from afar, to support Mrs. Wu.
"Is there something wrong with Sister Zhang's words? My cousin is in good health, so where can I worry about my life?"
Everyone followed the sound and looked, and at some point, Song Wan actually came over with someone.
She was looking at the third lady of the Zhang family with a cold face, and the displeasure in her words was very obvious, as if she wanted to find a place for Mrs. Wu.
In fact, as Miss Zhang Jiasan, there are some things that can't reach such a big scene.
She was born as a concubine, and the background of the family she married was not very good, so she was not a big family in the city.
It can be said that Song Wan took a fancy to the fact that she dared to raise the bar with Mrs. Wu, and whenever there was an occasion, she deliberately called her over to watch the excitement.
This time, of course, the same.
If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly found out that Mrs. Wu had Ye Hao by her side, how could she have the leisure to talk to the other party? I'm afraid that I haven't found a favorable position a long time ago, and I will happily watch the excitement!
As soon as her words came out, it was not Miss Zhang who became the fastest in the audience, but Mrs. Wu!
If she hadn't found out that the other party was secretly designing her own affairs, Mrs. Wu would still be grateful for these words!
But now that she knows that Song Wan is a smiling tiger, how can she think that the other party really wants to speak for herself?
Walking between the two, Song Wan glanced at Miss Zhang's family with her eyes, and the warning meaning contained in it was very strong.
"Even if my cousin's health is not good, let alone the Bai family's Wu family, even I, who is my cousin, will think of finding the best Lang Zhong and medicinal herbs for my cousin. Don't say anything like this to others!"
"I...... I don't dare."
Startled by her stern reprimand, Miss Zhang was stunned, and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake, not daring to say anything more.
In the face of Mrs. Wu, and even the sister-in-law surnamed Song, she can be arrogant and arrogant.
But in the face of Song Wan, the identity of the other party made her have to admit it, after all, she was the county lady, how could she gain a foothold in the city after offending the other party?
Everyone is a person who tends to be inflammatory, and she doesn't want to make her already bad life worse.
Ye Hao and Mrs. Wu glanced at each other, and they didn't know why Song Wan suddenly spoke for the latter?
Turning around, Song Wan smiled at Mrs. Wu,
His eyes were full of warmth.
"Cousin, don't be angry with these irrelevant people. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."
As she spoke, she moved closer, trying to take the other person's hand.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly dodged and looked at her suspiciously, the shock in her heart was stacked one after another.
I'm afraid this person is not crazy, right?
The moment she was dodged, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Song Wan's face, but she quickly returned to her original state.
She pretended to touch the hairpin on her head, taking advantage of her embarrassing behavior for a while, and the hatred for Mrs. Wu in her heart went up to another level.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a good relationship with Ye Hao, in order to get close to the latter with the help of Mrs. Wu's relationship, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to show goodwill!
"I'm in good health! Don't bother you!"
Although she knew in her heart that she shouldn't show too much hostility towards Song Wan, Mrs. Wu really couldn't give her a good face.
But Song Wan is a scheming person with a city government, and she has to do whatever she makes up her mind to do.
So, she ignored the other party's look of resistance, and sat cheekily in the gazebo where the two of them were.
He was particularly scheming and sat next to Ye Zhen, and as soon as he saw the other party's gaze moving over, he hurriedly put on a smile on his face.
The table in the pavilion was boxy, and there was a seat around it, and Ye Hao and Mrs. Wu sat next to each other.
Song Wan wanted to sit next to Ye Zhen, so it was a relative position to Mrs. Wu.
As soon as she sat down, before she could speak, the little guy who appeared earlier hurriedly walked through the crowd and handed a piece of paper to Song Wan.
Seeing this, Song Wan immediately understood what was in her hand, and she didn't care about the current occasion, so she immediately unfolded the paper in her hand.
She opened the paper with a smile, but when she glanced at it, her expression immediately changed, and she closed the paper in a panic and quickly.
Closing it was not enough, she hurriedly crumpled the piece of paper, and then stuffed it into the hand of the maid behind her, and gave it a look.
The maid understood, quickly blessed her body, and turned to leave.
It all happened between the lightning and thunder, and no one else noticed it, only the two people in this pavilion noticed.
Mrs. Wu was okay, she just saw that the other party's behavior was very strange, and she had doubts in her heart.
And Ye Zhen, who was sitting next to Song Wan, was simply full of question marks.
Coincidentally, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the contents of the paper, which was a portrait.
But the question is, isn't that portrait yourself?!
Ye Hao was confused in her heart, what did Song Wan do if she had nothing to do with someone to draw herself? I opened it with a happy face, and closed it in a panic after seeing it.
What kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd?!
Although there were thousands of doubts in her heart, seeing Song Wan's attitude of not mentioning this matter, Ye Hao didn't ask.
"Are my cousin and Mrs. Xie still satisfied? Most of the flowers in this pear orchard are carefully selected by me."
Song Wan suppressed the panic in her heart, calmly opened her mouth, and changed the topic.
God knows, how did her younger brother, who was stabbed by a thousand knives, fall in love with Ye Zhen!
Panic is panic, she still has to stabilize her mind and cover up her gaffe.
Ye Zhen is a woman who has become a wife! If it was ordinary people, she could still think of a way to grab a daughter-in-law for her brother.
This is a person who even has to take the initiative to stammer, and it is too late to please herself, how dare she beat the other party's idea?!
Song Wan didn't know that her portrait had already been seen by Ye Zhen.
"It's not bad, it's just not very useful, it's just a good look."
Following Song Wan's words, Mrs. Wu did not dwell on the other party's performance just now, and glanced lazily at the scenery in the distance.
And Ye Zhen didn't speak, she was a little distracted, she was still thinking about the portrait just now.
But Song Wan didn't plan to ignore her, and she rushed to Mrs. Wu just to get a good deal with her
Tie.
"What does Mrs. Xie think?"
"Huh?"
Ye Zhen, who was called back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he quickly replied with a smile:
"It's really beautiful, and Madame has put a lot of thought into it."
Her absent-minded tone did not make Song Wan dissatisfied, but pulled her for a good chat.
It wasn't until someone came over to deliver the news that dinner was ready, and Song Wan reluctantly left.
This afternoon, Ye Hao and Mrs. Wu were dragged by her to chat all the time, from poetry and song to parents. But basically she said it, and the other two people only talked to each other occasionally.
As soon as Song Wan left, Mrs. Wu's face, which had stiffened for a long time, finally collapsed.
"What is she sick with today? It's annoying to be chattering here all the time!"
complained several times in a row, and her words were full of disgust for Song Wan.
Ye Hao did not show a disgusted expression on her face, but looked around thoughtfully, this side was not as cold as before.
From the conversation between them, she could keenly notice that Song Wan seemed to have been trying to talk to her and find out her news.
She was not as dull as Mrs. Wu, and she couldn't hear the deep meaning of the other party's words.
But he had almost no contact with Song Wan, why was the other party so enthusiastic and curious?
This puzzle has troubled Ye Hao for a long time.
Dinner is prepared in advance, and when the time is allowed, the people put all kinds of dishes on the gazebo tables in each courtyard like flowing water.
The dishes are the same at each table, and there are no seating rules, so everyone can sit wherever they want.
The location is very generous, so no one comes to squeeze with Ye Hao, and they are happy.
Song Wan, as the host, asked every table to have a face and a cup of tea.
When she arrived at Mrs. Wu's side, she saw the dishes on the table that had barely been touched, and a hint of clarity flashed in her eyes, and she immediately walked through the process to serve tea as if nothing had happened.
Today's banquet was all bought by her from the Drunken Immortal Building, and it is no wonder that Ye Hao doesn't like it.
After the tea was served, she had time to relax and walk into the house.
"Madam, the slave maid has asked the young master's person, and it is indeed Mrs. Xie."
The maid whispered, and the expression on her face was also very complicated.
The previous portrait had been destroyed by her, and the little maid who painted had been warned by her not to bring up the matter again.
sighed with a headache, Song Wan really didn't expect that her younger brother gave her such a big "surprise"!
"That's it, you let people watch the young master closely, and send him back to the house as soon as he finishes eating, don't let him run into Mrs. Xie!"
She couldn't figure it out, obviously there was a festival between the two, why did Song An fall in love with Ye Hao?!
Could it be because of her appearance?
Recalling Ye Hao's appearance, Song Wan felt that she might have guessed the other party's posture, even she had to admit defeat.
Ye Hao didn't know about this oolong thing at all, and she didn't know that there was a dish from the Drunken Immortal Building in front of her when she didn't move her chopsticks, but she didn't like it at all.
On the other side, Mrs. Wu hated the house and Wu, and she didn't have the heart to eat Song Wan's banquet at all.
As soon as dinner is over, the sky is getting dark, and the cherry blossom viewing party is coming to an end.
The people who had eaten the banquet left in twos and threes, Ye Hao and Mrs. Wu walked hand in hand, and just about to get into the carriage and leave, Song Wan ran over at some point.
