Chapter 75: No face
An Zhengyuan, Jiang Shi lifted his eyelids with a cold face and glanced at Qiao Jianghong, Qiao Jianghong felt uncomfortable, his father-in-law and mother-in-law themselves had opinions about him, and they didn't go to greet him today, this time the opinions were even greater.
"Since the son-in-law is busy, let's be busy with your going first, just here Qien is here, let's just stop by to see her."
An Zhengyuan took a sip of tea with a cold face, with a posture of not taking Qiao Jianghong in his eyes.
Qiao Jianghong lowered his eyes slightly, embarrassed, embarrassed to squeeze out a dry smile, and said with a smile: "Nothing is to entertain the father-in-law, the mother-in-law is important." ”
An Zhengyuan glanced at him quietly, drank tea by himself, and ignored Qiao Jianghong.
Qiao Jianghong knew that this matter was not done properly by the Hou Mansion, and when the in-laws came, not to mention Mrs. Qiao, the Liu family must go out to greet them.
But Liu's face didn't show up, didn't this show Anfu's face.
At this time, the maid came in and saluted and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Liu is here." ‘’
An Qien said to the second elder: "Father, mother, Qien has gone to entertain Mrs. Liu, you can sit down and drink tea first." ”
"Go ahead, you're busy with you, this Hou Mansion is not in charge of you, I'm afraid it's going to be a mess."
Jiang raised his eyelids to look at Qiao Jianghong, these words were specially yin and yang.
Qiao Jianghong's face turned even redder.
An Qien instructed the maids to serve well, so he took Qingbi and Bailu to greet Mrs. Liu.....
Anhetang
Liu sat very nervously in Anhetang, the teacup in her hand felt a layer of sweat, she was uneasy and entangled: "Mother, this in-laws came early, we don't go over to entertain the face, it's not good for the reputation of the Hou Mansion." ”
Mrs. Qiao was very calm, leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and put it down slowly.
"How dare they speak out?"
Old Madam Qiao said disdainfully and proudly, pinched the Buddha beads in her hand and continued: "The daughter of his An family is no longer capable, and she can't give birth to a son and a half daughter, so she has to be a man with her tail between her legs in my Hou Mansion, which is also a wake-up call for them, and beat Qien well." ”
"They don't know the reason why we neglect them, our daughter's belly is not angry, and she still wants her husband's family to give face? How much face did they give Jiang Hong? I gave them a light one this time. ”
"A woman has nothing to do, even if she is a princess, she has to bow her head in her husband's family, he will not understand this truth, if we don't give them a little face, they won't put the Hou Mansion in their eyes."
Liu Shi was still uneasy in his heart: "But today is a recovery banquet, which makes outsiders see that it is not a joke to see the Hou Mansion." ”
She was so anxious that the handkerchief in her hand was about to crush.
Old Madam Qiao glanced at the Liu family, who had no dim sum eyes, and sighed helplessly: "You won't go over later?" What kind of brain, do you still need me to teach this thing?"
"I'll help you find the excuse, you just go a little late, that house is not a fool, naturally knows what's going on, and this matter hasn't made a fuss, what can you say outside!"
When the words fell, Old Madam Qiao glanced at the too stupid Liu family in disgust.
Liu suddenly realized, and was obediently lowered by his mother-in-law: "It's still my mother who is thoughtful."
Old Madam Qiao continued: "After this incident, she may not be so protective of her dowry, she can't give birth to children, she always has to pay a little to the Hou Mansion." ”
Liu is a person who has no backbone, and his ears are soft, as soon as Mrs. Qiao said this, she felt that even if An Qien had a credit for the Hou Mansion, she would not be worthy of the Hou Mansion's kindness if she didn't have children.
Mother Wu came back and gave Mrs. Qiao a look.
Old Madam Qiao glanced at Liu and said, "Okay, it's time to come, you should hurry up and say hello." ”
Liu stood up and blessed: "Yes, mother, daughter-in-law will go." ”
The words fell, and Liu left.
Mother Wu lowered her voice and said with a sense of mystery: "Old lady, Mrs. Liu is here, and Mrs. is entertaining." ”
Old Madam Qiao's eyes were immediately unfathomable, and she asked in a low voice, "Is the Second Young Master ready?"
"Everything is ready."
Old Madam Qiao nodded and ordered: "Then go and invite Mrs. Liu to come over, just say that I am suddenly unwell, and it is not good to entertain in the lobby, invite her to come over for a cup of tea, and ask about aromatherapy and sleep." ”
"Yes, the old slave will go and please."
Mother Wu respectfully withdrew.
An Qien was walking to the main hall with Mrs. Liu with a pleasant face, Mrs. Liu didn't like to deal with those ladies in Beijing, so An Qien wanted to take her to her mother's family to drink tea first.
"I've been busy with this banquet recently." Mrs. Liu asked with a smile.
The two held hands, very intimate, just like sisters, and the maid respectfully followed behind.
"It's a little busy, it's not okay, it's just to worry about moving your mouth." An Qien smiled gently.
Liu Niangzi suppressed her voice and sincerely asked: "Today's meeting, don't let those concubines in your house have another accident." ”
An Qien smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "Today, I am the home field."
Liu Niangzi frowned slightly, feeling that An Qien had something to say, and just wanted to ask something.
Mother Wu is here.
She saluted respectfully: "Madam, Miss Liu."
"Mother Wu, what's the matter?" An Qien asked calmly with a smile on his face.
"Madam, the old lady suddenly felt unwell and couldn't come out to entertain the guests, I heard that Miss Liu is here, the old lady has not slept well recently, so I want to invite Miss Liu to come over and ask for advice on how to sleep with aromatherapy."
Mrs. Liu smiled kindly and politely: "The old lady is polite, I just know a little bit of fur, and the younger generation went over to see her old man." ”
Old Madam Qiao is an elder, even if Mrs. Liu is reluctant to go over, but when the elder speaks, she can't help but give this face.
An Qien had a bad feeling, and always felt a little strange, she proposed: "I'll send you over." ”
At this time, another maid came over to report: "Madam, my aunt and grandmother's house are here." ”
At this moment, when she was busy, Mrs. Liu held her hand and said, "I'll just go over with this mother, you can be busy with yours." ”
An Qien really couldn't pull away, so he instructed Qingbi and Bai Lu: "You take care of Mrs. Liu." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
The two girls responded in unison.
An Qien went to get busy, and Mrs. Liu followed Mother Wu to Anhetang.
As soon as they were halfway there, two maids suddenly appeared, looking busy and anxious, and said: "Qingbi, Miss Bailu, the maids at the banquet broke a box of fine Puzhong wine, the two girls quickly find a way to remedy it." ”
Saying that, the two girls pulled Qingbi and Bai Lu when they got started, Qingbi listened to An Qien's words, and she had to guard Mrs. Liu every step of the way.
As soon as she wanted to open her mouth, she refused, when she heard Liu Niangzi say: "Go and get busy, don't let your housewife worry about this matter." ”
Mother Wu said: "Two girls, go quickly, Miss Liu, I can lead the old lady to that, there are many things in the house today, you can help the young lady share her worries." ”
