20. Bow your head and admit your mistakes
It's just that if this favor can be used to the best of its ability and plan some benefits for the Yu family, it would be great.
Seeing off Father-in-law Fu, Yufu ushered in an unexpected second wave of guests.
"Wu Anhou?"
When Yu Lanjiao heard the report from the porter, she was immediately stunned.
Yesterday, she made the Liu family disgraced, and she didn't expect that Wu Anhou would go to the door of Yu Mansion again.
If it was usual, it should naturally be the man in the family who went to receive him, but now that Yu Heng is dead, his brother-in-law Gao Yuan has just left the house, and Hou Ming of Wu'an said that he asked to see the second girl of the Yu family.
Yu Lanjiao hesitated slightly, but still asked Wu Anhou to be led to the flower hall of the outer courtyard.
Anyway, she has already made up her mind to set up a female household, and it is not rude to receive male guests as the head of the house.
The Hou Mansion of Wu'an did not come to find fault this time, on the contrary, I don't know what to think about, and his attitude was very polite.
When Yu Lanjiao arrived, there were not only Qian Yuanhao, Marquis of Wu'an, and Mrs. Liu, Marquis of Wu'an, but also men with beards about forty a year sitting aside.
That man, Yu Lanjiao also recognized, was Yu Gui's husband Huang He.
Seeing him, Yu Lanjiao knew the purpose of today's Wu'an Hou Mansion, and specially invited the in-laws of the Yu family and Yu Lanjiao's uncle to come to the door, which must have come to make peace.
It seems that the good play that Emperor Ming Zheng watched yesterday has indeed achieved good results.
Yu Lanjiao stepped forward to salute gently, "Why did my uncle come here today?" But to blame Lan Jiao, she buried her father by herself yesterday without waiting for her aunt to come to the door? ”
Huang He's expression stiffened in one sentence, and he almost couldn't get off the stage.
Yu Lanjiao was obviously pleading, but in fact she was accusing Yu Gui, her own sister, of being so cold-blooded and ruthless that she didn't even show up at her brother's funeral.
Yu Gui, that stupid woman!
Yesterday, her brother-in-law went to the funeral, but she didn't know where to get the rumors, she only said that the Yu family was unlucky, and she didn't want to go up and get fishy.
In addition, the huge wealth of the Yu family has long been labeled as the regent, even if she tries hard, it can't reach her, she is depressed, and even has a grudge against Yu Heng's brother.
deliberately did not go to Yu Heng's funeral, saying that it would not be peaceful for Yu Heng to die.
Although Yu Gui was rude first, Huang He also felt a little annoyed and disgusted at this junior who dared to show his face in public.
Yu Lanjiao is really too rebellious, without the meekness and deference of a woman.
It's just that he was entrusted to come here today after all, even if he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't show it, and even a little apologetic, "Your aunt has always regarded you more than her own daughter, how can she blame you for some trivial things."
On the contrary, before going out today, she asked her uncle to apologize to you. Yesterday, she was going to come to Yu's house to help you handle the funeral, but because of these days, she was too worried and sad, and she suffered from the wind and cold and couldn't get up.
I was afraid that your sisters would be worried, so I simply didn't tell you about my illness, so I missed Brother Yu's funeral, but she was worried and regretted it even more, and she became more sick.
Even so, she had already sworn that when she was well, she would go to her eldest brother's grave to offer incense and ask for sin. ”
sang and recited the confession, not only cleared Yu Gui's failure to attend his brother's funeral, but said that Yu Gui was a person who was pure and kind, affectionate and sexual, and this ability to reverse black and white is worthy of being a person who has been immersed in officialdom for many years.
Yu Lanjiao listened to it in her ears, but she felt that it was greasy.
He nodded coldly and said no more.
Anyway, he has already torn his face with Yu Gui in this life, and he has nothing to rely on the Huang Mansion, so why bother with him and deal with himself.
Such an attitude of not being up or down made Huang He depressed for a while.
Wu Anhou saw that the two of them were fighting, and Yu Lanjiao was really tricky.
Only today, Concubine Shu and the third prince have given themselves a fate, which is tricky, and they can only bite the bullet.
Therefore, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yufu is really upright and the family is happy." ”
Yu Lanjiao was silent and made a playful smile.
Wu Anhou's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is really good. Sure enough, he came to apologize, not only did he pull his in-laws to make peace, but his attitude was so sincere.
At this moment, she was in the mood to look at the Liu family sitting on the side of Wu'an Hou, compared to her dignified and noble yesterday, she was extremely frightened today.
Seeing Yu Lanjiao's gaze sweeping, her body even shook slightly, and she bent her back and hid behind Wu Anhou.
Wu Anhou was unaware of Liu's actions, and then said: "If such a girl can marry the third prince, it can be regarded as a good fate in heaven.
It's a pity that yesterday my wife was really confused, and she actually made a big fuss in Yu Xiangling Hall, and provoked the three girls to say such heartless words in a fit of anger, ruining this great marriage, which is really the fault of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an. ”
As he spoke, he got up and slammed at Huang He, completely treating him as a person who spoke to Yufu.
"Brother Huang is willing to help me come forward to make peace today, I am really grateful. As the saying goes, it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it, and Liu's is indeed very wrong, but he has also woken up.
Today, I specially begged me to bring her to the door to make amends, and asked Huang Shangshu and Yu Er Girl to forgive me for the sake of their love for many years. ”
Before Yu Lanjiao could speak, Huang He hurriedly got up and helped Wu Anhou up, and said:
"Master Hou is really too much to see like this, is it really Yu Xiang who is such a small-bellied chicken intestine? When is the time to repay grievances, you have to forgive people and forgive people, and Yu treats people like this.
Now that Mrs. Hou knows her mistake, my niece has not been substantially harmed, but has provoked Mrs. Hou to ruin her voice, the matter has come to this point, how can Yu Xiang still blame Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou, it is Sister Jiao, and I can't say that I have to apologize to Mrs. Hou. ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang He and Wu Anhou turned their heads in unison, and looked at Yu Lanjiao who was sitting with burning eyes.
Their gesture is like apologizing and making peace, but it is clearly more like a favor.
It's just that seeing that Yu Lanjiao has no support from her close relatives and elders, and has no backing, she deliberately came to bully her as an orphan girl!
Even in order to force Yu Lanjiao to bow her head, she also found Huang He, who can be called an elder, to put pressure together.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Lanjiao should have gotten up with anxiety on her face to make amends, and then Wu Anhou made a false gesture, and since then she shook hands and made peace.
But why, why did they come to the door to make trouble, but asked Yu Lanjiao to swallow the bitter fruit in her stomach.
Just by virtue of his high power in Wu'an? Just because his family has a concubine who has won the holy favor? And she Yu Lanjiao is alone and downcast?
If he really let go of the Wu'an Hou Mansion so lightly, and the dignity of the Liu family is complete, then who should ask for the dignity of the Yu family!
Yu Lanjiao's palm loosened, shook it loosely, and in the end it was as if she hadn't heard anything, and when she saw Wu Anhou looking at it, she even raised her eyebrows and smiled with interest.
It wasn't until the smiles on Wu Anhou and Huang He's faces were about to be hung up that they spoke slowly:
"You have to be forgiving and forgiving, but you also have to look at something, Mrs. Hou humiliated the daughter of the Yu family so much in front of her father's corpse and spiritual position, if I expose this matter lightly.
Wouldn't I want to be poked in the back by the people and scolded me for not being filial, offering flattery to the Hou Mansion, and even ignoring my father's face? ”
Wu Anhou's face changed, he never expected that he had spoken so lowly, and Yu Lanjiao would dare to make a gesture of Qiao!
What did she rely on? That dead dad?
His eyes suddenly darkened, and his whole body was full of momentum, and he actually wanted to use the aura of being an official for many years, which made Yu Lanjiao have to bow her head.
But seeing Yu Lanjiao put down the teacup lightly, she looked directly at him without fear, "What's more, Mrs. Hou's voice is out of voice, which is my father's punishment for her!"
Uncle Fang Cai said that my father would definitely forgive such a wicked woman who made a lot of nonsense, so Lan Jiao dared to ask her uncle, if her father was really not to blame in the past, why couldn't Mrs. Hou speak! ”
Her tone was full of coldness, which frightened the hearts of the other three people.
Yesterday, Yu Hengling's great power to teach the Liu family has already spread throughout Kyoto, and even Huang He and Wu Anhou have heard about it.
Hearing Yu Lanjiao mention this matter at this moment, it instantly clouded their hearts, they are now in Yu Mansion, if Yu Heng appears again, won't he be able to get rid of it?
Seeing this, Yu Lan snorted lightly with disdain, picked up the tea and prepared to send off the guests:
"Lan Jiao is incompetent, not as righteous as her uncle said, but what her father is unwilling to forgive is that no matter how the elders next to her say anything, Lan Jiao will not take it upon herself to admit that the enemy is a friend.
If the Hou Mansion of Wu'an wants to rebuild the old friendship with the Yu Mansion, please ask Mrs. Hou to go to my father's spiritual throne first and ask for his forgiveness! ”
Wu Anhou and Huang Heju didn't expect that her bones would be so hard, and what was harder than her bones was the benefit of her tongue.
Even men, who have been trained in officialdom, can't even break half a point on their tongues!
This cognition made both of them look a little unsightly, but remembering his sister-in-law's entrustment, even if Wu Anhou was reluctant, he had to look at Liu:
"It's this stupid woman who has been blinded by lard to surprise the second girl, offending Yu Xiangye, and now the second girl refuses to forgive you, why don't you come and ask for guilt!"
The Liu family has been staring at her with resentful eyes since Yu Lanjiao entered, and Yu Lanjiao thought that she was going to make trouble again today.
As soon as Wu Anhou's words fell, Liu Shi really got up and walked forward with a gloomy gaze, and was about to salute Yu Lanjiao.
Before Yu Lanjiao could speak, Huang He took the lead in stopping Liu, and said angrily at Yu Lanjiao:
"As a junior, how can you watch the elder who is Mrs. Hou salute you to make amends! Where have you learned all the etiquette, righteousness and shame? I don't see if I can stand it. ”
It's good that he didn't stop him, but when he stopped him, Liu Shi rushed straight forward, rushed to Yu Lanjiao's body in one go, and knelt down on his knees.
Stretching out a pair of thin white hands, he scratched in his throat in a panic, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't pronounce them.
His face was full of pain and weeping, as if he was very sincere in making amends.
This kneeling shocked Yu Lanjiao, and then her heart sank.
Looking at it like this, no matter how Yu Lanjiao refuses Qiao, Wu Anhou is bound to ask her to forgive.
It's really ridiculous, she always asks for forgiveness, but Liu's behavior is to force her to forgive, which suddenly makes Yu Lanjiao feel sick and uncomfortable like eating a fly.
