Chapter 201: An awkward three-way meeting
The prefect's wife will hold a birthday banquet, and the female relatives with heads and faces in Qingzhou City will attend the banquet.
This banquet has been prepared for a month in advance, and tomorrow is the day of the banquet, and the prefect's wife was originally in the limelight, but who would have thought that an aunt and elder would jump out at this time!
It doesn't matter if she admits it or not, the key is that her husband has already recognized it! is completely treated as a serious elder in the family, so this aunt must be invited to this banquet.
Thinking of this, the prefect's wife couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, that "aunt" is not like a good one! I don't know how to save her face!
Originally, she was the most noble person at the banquet, but with the other party, she would be one level shorter.
Thinking of the title of Zhaohua's daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but have a headache.
I still have plans to go ahead at the banquet!
If that is done, her husband will definitely want to give her up!
Yes, in response to the matter of settling down to the family, the prefect's wife tested her husband's tone a while ago and made sure that she would do what she wanted, so she did it.
Mrs. Prefect believes that if she hadn't come to invite her today, she would have done the courtesy, and with her aunt's demonic energy, she might have come to the birthday banquet to find fault!
Therefore, even if she didn't want the other party to participate, the prefect's wife still had to come to invite her in person.
Sitting in a sedan chair to the side of the alley courtyard, the prefect's wife did not look good, because she met An's sedan chair on the road, and the other party seemed to be in a hurry to do something, so he hurried past her.
One of the sedan chair drivers on both sides accidentally touched it, causing the sedan chair to tilt and sway, An Erye, a big man, didn't care whether it was stable or not, if he hadn't broken his foot last night, he wouldn't have sat in the sedan chair.
Mrs. An was very angry, she felt that the An family was becoming more and more rampant, and deliberately gave herself a leg up like this.
Wait! Let's see how you can laugh after tomorrow's feast!
"Hurry up! You can be surpassed by others when you walk in front, what do you eat! ”
The maid next to the sedan chair saw the master's slightly angry attitude, and after receiving the signal, she reprimanded the sedan chair man, who hurriedly strode forward when he heard the words.
When she finally put down the sedan chair in front of the small courtyard in the alley, the prefect's wife happened to see the scene of the second master of the An family knocking on the door of the small courtyard, and at the same time heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away, it turned out to be An Xia coming in a carriage.
When he got out of the car and saw the prefect's wife and second uncle, An Xian was also dumbfounded.
"Are you sure it's this one?"
The prefect's wife frowned and asked the maid beside her, the maid looked at the sedan chair man in front of her, and the sedan chair man hurriedly said: "Brother Erheng said that this is here, and the small one can be determined." ”
Brother Erheng in the mouth of the sedan chair man is the son of the housekeeper, although he is now a small servant, but the house knows his identity, and he is willing to give him face called Brother Erheng, who makes everyone be managed by the housekeeper.
The other party has been here before, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with the location he said.
What An Zhe wanted was to knock on the door and see someone, and leave after saying that he would meet in Anfu, the other party dared to find a contact person so directly, and his external identity must have nothing to do with his sister, so he dared to come to the door directly.
But who would have thought that the prefect's wife would come, and why did the niece also come?
At this time, the courtyard door opened from the inside.
Seeing the three people outside, Jian Yu's face was very calm, with no expression, and the villain in her heart was already covering her face and screaming, what was going on? Why did these people come together?!
In an instant, Jian Yu thought a lot, her mind turned into thousands of possibilities, and she was slandered in her heart, she knew that when Zhou Jinyan came to open the door, she didn't say that she was coming, so that the other party could face this embarrassing occasion!
"Zhaohua daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Jian Yu spoke to the prefect's wife first, and her eyes belonged to "internal and external troubles", and she solved the external troubles first.
Hearing Jian Yu's question, the prefect's wife looked at An Zhe, her lips moved, she didn't want to speak, but when she asked herself, how could she not answer!
His chin trembled, and his lips pursed hard before he spoke, which showed that he had done enough ideological struggle.
I heard the prefect's wife say: "Auntie, grandnephew and daughter-in-law came here this time to invite you to the birthday banquet. ”
Auntie?!
Nieces and nephews?!
An Zhe turned sideways, not letting the prefect's wife see her shocked expression clearly, where did these two people come from, and made their status so high!
An Yi was even more confused, and looked carefully at the person standing at the door, it was Sister Yu!
At this moment, the prefect's wife had a slightly cold face, and she said the invitation respectfully, and her expression looked like a debtor.
As for the prefect's wife, it is because the prefect has repeatedly explained that he must treat his aunt and grandfather as serious elders, and he must not be neglected in the slightest, and even the prefect has turned over old accounts.
"What have I done to your relatives over the years? Let me help with errands, I haven't said a word, and the New Year's holiday ceremony is not in vain......"
The prefect said all sorts of things, and in the end there was only one request.
"The only thing I can't forget when my parents died a few years ago is my aunt, and now my aunt and grandmother are my dearest relatives, and you must not be slack."
"My family's affairs about my aunt and grandmother are more complicated, it can be said that without my aunt and grandmother, there would be no me now, if my aunt and grandmother are angry, take the events of the year, and I have to take off my official uniform now......
"I can tell you more about the specific situation after I'm busy for a while..."
The prefect deliberately said it very seriously, because he was afraid that his wife would do something to anger Lord Qincha.
The prefect's wife understands her husband, and the other party's expression, such a tone, shows that she is extremely serious in emphasizing, remembering that when they met for the first time, the other party said that she was kicked out to find the Qincha, and she knew in her heart those threatening words.
No matter how much you look down on it in your heart, you must do all the etiquette, at least you can't let outsiders see that it is their husband and wife who are not filial.
If it weren't for that, the prefect's wife would never have called herself a niece and daughter-in-law deferentially.
"Birthday feast? Okay, I see. Jian Yu took the post handed over by the maid's hands.
The maid dared to talk to the sedan chair man, she didn't dare to provoke this aunt, and when she handed over the invitation, her eyebrows and eyes were low and she wanted to stick to the ground.
At this time, Zhou Jinyan came over, Jian Yu picked up the invitation card and looked at it casually, and then handed it to the person next to her.
An Zhe's expression returned to normal at this time, he was thinking about what reason he wanted to say, he must not let the prefect's wife suspect the An family, let alone expose his sister's affairs.
At this time, Jian Yu spoke.
"Second Master An, saving Miss An is completely uneven, I am the aunt and grandmother of Zhao Zhifu, but there are some things that I don't mix, Mrs. Prefect is not here, it is more useful for you to talk to her about something."
When the prefect's wife heard Jian Yu's words, her eyes flashed fiercely, no wonder her husband was so jealous of the An family, and they didn't spread the matter of her aunt and grandmother at all.
What the entire Qingzhou doesn't know, the An family knows!
An Zhe understood Jian Yu's intentions, and said: "Miss Yu misunderstood, I didn't mean to embarrass you, I came to thank you for this trip." ”
"That's it, the province learned that Mrs. Fu misunderstood, I'll leave first, I'll leave first, I said that you would come directly from outside the city after worshipping the Buddha, I thought I had arrived early."
"Okay, second uncle, you wait."
Saying that, An Xian walked over the peace charm she asked for and handed it to Jian Yu, and then said: "I went to the mountain to ask for it today, and I will also go to the birthday banquet of the prefect's wife tomorrow, let's see you tomorrow." ”
Jian Yu smiled and nodded.
Then An Xian turned around and saluted the prefect's wife, then returned to his carriage and left the alley with Second Master An.
The prefect's wife stood in place.
After dozens of seconds, she stood awkwardly in place.
thought that the other party would invite her to sit inside, but Jian Yu didn't mean to speak, she first watched the An family's carriage leave, and then turned her head to look at the prefect's wife, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Anything else?"
Hearing this rhetorical question, the prefect's wife knew that the other party had no intention of inviting her in at all!
It's really rude! Uneducated!
I originally wanted to go in this time and have a good chat, and talk about the previous things as a misunderstanding, after all, tomorrow is my birthday banquet, and I will repair the relationship with the other party today, so as not to make trouble tomorrow, no matter how I make a shame, it is I who will be embarrassed!
As a result, I lowered my posture, but the people on the other side didn't get in!
The prefect's wife was extremely aggrieved, her face was faintly blue, she forced out a smile and said, "It's okay, is Aunt Ming'er free to go?" ”
Jian Yu glanced at the prefect's wife, and she said: "Look at the mood, Zhaohua daughter-in-law, don't worry, the birthday banquet is a good day, now you know that you are wrong, where will I be an elder and fight against you, even if I go, I won't make trouble." ”
Mrs. Prefect's eyelids jumped, so she didn't come with this gesture today, did the other party originally mean to make trouble?
"Alright, you can go back if it's okay."
Jian Yu waved her hand casually, standing on the elder's shelf, of course she saw that the prefect's wife wanted to enter the courtyard to sit, but she didn't want to deal with the other party.
Now that the prefect has been used by them, there is no need to inquire about anything from the prefect's wife, and now the well water does not interfere with the river water.
As for tomorrow's birthday banquet, whether to go or not will wait for her to discuss with Zhou Jinyan before deciding.
"Okay, the niece and daughter-in-law will go first."
Sitting back in the sedan chair, the prefect's wife was angry and relieved, anger was Jian Yu's attitude, I don't know where the wild relatives came from, they are used to pretending in front of themselves!
Why did her husband admit it like this, she always felt that something was wrong with this family!
But it's not the time to care about this now, wait until after the birthday banquet, listen to the other party's attitude, if you go tomorrow, you will also give yourself some face.
The relationship between the other party and the An family may be that Suki thought about it a lot, otherwise it should be An Lin who came to thank him today, as for An Si, there are so many people coming and going at the banquet, it is easy to do things, and the two of them can be separated even if they are together.
Her plan won't change, and no one can let it go wrong!
Back in the house, Jian Yu put the invitation on the table and said to Zhou Jinyan: "Are you going to this banquet?" How's things going with the prefect? Let's delay it for a few more days, and wait until the prefect's investigation is over. ”
