Chapter 399: Looking for a scolding
Anyway, how the old nun went, the old nun herself didn't know, and she felt that she had suffered a great blow mentally. After all, the story told can indeed be explained no matter how it is. If it is like Master Xingyun in modern times, he will directly say that this just explains the mystery of Buddhism. So it still shows that Miaoyu, the master, is a good person, and it can also be said that this old lady has not been poisoned by those chaotic ideas in modern times.
And when the old nun left, Ou Mengmeng originally wanted to hide and be lazy, but someone came to report that the old lady of the Zhen family was here.
Speaking of which, the old lady of the Zhen family is a generation older than Jia's mother according to her generation, and she is more than ten years older. Ou Mengmeng didn't expect that the old ladies of the Zhen family would come.
And when the Zhen family came, Mrs. Zhen didn't see Mrs. Jia going to greet her, she was actually a little unhappy, but Li Kun outside was also quite good at doing things, and said busily, the old lady and Master Jinghui of Panlong Temple were talking. So the old lady of the Zhen family chatted with the other ladies outside, waiting for Jinghui to come out, knowing that the old lady was free, so she was busy letting people report.
Ou Mengmeng is really depressed, if she says that she is old and tired, everyone will not say anything. But this time, there is Mrs. Zhen who is older than her, can she say that she is older than Mrs. Zhen? Hurriedly got up and went to greet him.
Of course, when I went out to greet him, I also asked if the girl from the Zhen family and that Baoyu were also here. Yingge was also concerned, and there were also little girls running at both ends on the side, saving the old lady from asking, she had nothing to say.
The news from the garden is that the girls of the Zhen family do go out a little less, and when they were in Jinling before, the girls of the Zhen and Jia families were nothing, but on this kind of formal occasion, including when the girls of the three giants of Jinling came, and there was the main force of Tong'an County, these girls seemed a little childish.
And these girls of the Jia family have really participated in various banquets in recent years, and the more people they have, the better they behave. At this time, even Jia Pu, who had the lowest self-esteem, could see the difference.
Of course, what surprised everyone this time was Meng Yin's performance. She is the most calm among them, and this can be reflected at this time, this old lady has been by her side for so many years, and she is really not in vain.
The girls of the Big Three families all received instructions to take care of Miss Meng and not let people bully them. As a result, everyone is together, and her silent beauty is really not inferior to anyone here. Speak calmly, not slowly, talk about poetry, talk about words, talk about jewelry, clothing, styles, needlework, makeup, there is nothing she can't answer, not much, but they are all insightful, so that those little girls admire one by one.
For the Jia family, except for talking about poetry and rhetoric, they really don't have to worry about anything else. The girls here, including the girls of the Jia family, have seen and managed more than this old lady's private manager more than jewelry, clothing, styles, needlework, and makeup. People are really professional. The old lady has been rich and noble for several lifetimes, and whose girl can have this opportunity. I didn't expect poetry, and she also understood.
However, Tong'an and Daiyu quickly understood, because the old lady was in charge of the questions, and in the children's exam, there were actually poetry questions, and the old lady was of course more familiar with the questions from the vast ancient and modern poems. And Amber, who has been accompanying the old lady, is afraid that she will read more and deeper than them. So in the past two days, the old lady has nothing to worry about at all, and the co-authoring is to let them see, what is missing between them is just a set of clothes.
Yingge was very happy, and she was a little excited to talk to Ou Mengmeng.
"Okay, what was originally poor was a dress, and the big girls in the houses before were not laughed at by you and called the deputy miss? Now let you study, let you learn to be a director, Meng Yin is grandfather really found, even if you don't have such a grandfather, but if you want to set up your own door and marry a steward, just tell me." Ou Mengmeng said casually.
In fact, if you think about the concept of equality in the Red Mansion, it is still good, and the boundary between men and women, concubines, and masters and servants is really not so obvious. I don't know what those children think, the three mountains that were so easy to shatter were just set back by themselves.
Ou Mengmeng stood at the moon gate and waited, and soon a rich old lady appeared in the corridor, thinking that it was the famous old lady of the Zhen family, and she almost said that she was the queen mother.
When I got closer, the old lady was full
With silver hair, he is really a bit of a goosebump, and he also has a dragon head crutch that Jia's mother loved to use before. Two delicate girls on both sides were holding up. Those two girls are the same as when she first came, the girls of the Jia family really painted their eyebrows, wore gold and silver, and were quite eye-catching.
The old lady of the Zhen family looked very much like Jia's mother in the Yue opera, and the most interesting thing was that she wore an apricot yellow gown. Apricot yellow is a royal color, and it can't be said to be fully exclusive, but it's not something that ordinary people dare to wear. Old lady Zhen, if you dare to dress like this this time, it must not be trespassing, but a kind of coercion.
"It's so far, why did you get here?" Ou Mengmeng still stepped forward and gave the old lady a half-salute.
This is the junior ceremony, this is the nanny and grandmother of the old sage, so the old sage gave them dignity. But after all, unlike the two generations of Rong Guogong with her military merits, this old lady is dressed in apricot yellow, but she has no title on her body, the old lady of the Jia family is a serious duchess of the country, and she salutes, that is, she is just giving her age and the face of the old saint.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Duchess Rongguo has not been in Jiangnan for a long time, I originally wanted to see it in Jinling, but I didn't think that the old lady was busy and missed it. The old body thinks about it, if you miss it, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again, so let Jia'er bring the old body over." The old lady of the Zhen family said softly.
Ou Mengmeng's face was black, before in Jinling, the old lady revealed the meaning of meeting, and Ou Mengmeng was too lazy to take care of it. Now people don't say that they travel thousands of miles, but there are still hundreds of miles, is this trapping themselves in injustice? She wants to find out, she is also the Duchess of the Kingdom anyway, you are a royal minion, what kind of score did you come to play with me? But it was only a belly slander, but it didn't show it on the face, so I asked someone to go in.
"The old lady said this, the old body is also very old, and she was originally afraid of seeing people. If you really see you today, you might as well die tomorrow." Ou Mengmeng smiled and asked the old lady of the Zhen family to sit down, "Go and make the old gentleman's eyebrows."
Yingge couldn't help laughing, bowed and retreated, leaving the two to serve, and went to make tea herself.
"I heard that this time I asked the students of the Jia family to go out to study? It's going to take another year, so what about the students' books?" The old lady of the Zhen family is also a little angry, what she is thinking about now is not the problem that the old lady of the Jia family has a higher status than her, she is used to being praised, after the old sage took power, when did she suffer this kind of anger, when it came to the students, her voice became stern.
