Chapter 234 First Meeting
The servants I saw along the way were also extremely well-behaved. The expression, movements and postures were impeccable.
Zhu walked beside Fu Yingying, and then asked in a low voice, "Wingying, which noble family's residence is this?"
"Do you see the fame?" Fu Yingying turned her head, and the corners of her eyes looked at the expressions of everyone. She couldn't wait to laugh three times to be happy.
Don't think I can't see what you're thinking. Don't you just look down on the Xia family? I'm afraid that the invitation will have nothing to do with face this time. It's all to show off in front of her, right?!
I hope you can still show off in front of autumn.
Zhu glanced at her annoy, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Come on, don't tease me."
"It's useless to tell you who it is. You will naturally know it as soon as you meet someone."
As he spoke, the group turned a corner, and two maids were waiting on the long corridor. After the blessing saluted, they said, "Madam has prepared refreshments in the flower hall for everyone. Please come here."
I don't want to look too shabby. Although Xia Hanqiu is still white today and looks similar to cloth, the material is by no means affordable for ordinary people.
She herself knows that her current persistence has completely changed under the intervention of her mother and change, but she is used to those simple clothes, and she really doesn't want to change them. As long as she is not allowed to wear those complicated clothes with obvious aristocratic taste, she will go with them.
Mingde came in and reported, "Madam, the guests are coming."
Xia Hanqiu got up. Today, she is the protagonist. This beginning is very important. Whether she can have a good start depends on how she performs today.
Take a deep breath all the way out. When she got to the door, Xia Hanqiu had completely calmed down, and she did not go out. Then I waited at the door.
When the group approached, they were a little surprised when they saw her.
When they heard the maid say that she was a wife, they thought they would see an older woman. I didn't expect that a woman was indeed a woman, but she was a little too young.
Such a person. Why did they invite so many of them to come with great fanfare?
"Please come in the name of Yingying. Please forgive me for the inappropriateness. Please sit down."
Fu Yingying took the lead in sitting at the end with a smile. "My task has been completed. This one makes me hungry. These pastries just fill my stomach."
"I can't do without you. I asked someone to make soup for you, Ajiu, you go and bring it to her.
"Yes."
This is really too common to disrupt all the scenes that should have been serious. The atmosphere suddenly loosened a lot.
Xia Hanqiu sent a grateful look to Yingying and cheered up to face the next thing.
"I don't know what's the matter for my wife to wait for me?"
"It's okay, it's still an interesting thing." Xia Hanqiu smiled and said, "Let's take a look at each other. Do you think you have something in common?"
Zhu felt that this situation was really strange. He was careful of this person who didn't know the details at all and spoke so politely. "Does this lady mean that we are all women?"
"That's also a thing." Xia Hanqiu said at the beginning, "I was negligent and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xia Hanqiu, and my husband's surname is Zheng. If you don't mind, you can call me Mrs. Zheng.
Qi and Zhu had handkerchiefs. They knew that she was impatient and didn't want her to be a leader. At this time, they took over, "I don't know what Mrs. Zheng said about the interesting thing."
"This has to go back to the previous problem, what you have in common."
Xia Hanqiu is really not used to talking in such a cover. In fact, in the final analysis, she doesn't have much contact with people. Even if she wants to learn to talk around, she really can't learn to turn around, so she simply let go, "I haven't learned how to talk in a roundabout way. I'd better You."
The atmosphere is better, "Madam, please."
A Jiu came in quietly with the soup, took a bowl and put it in front of Fu Yingying. All the movements were silent.
Xia Hanqiu looked at it and said smoothly, "I said what you have in common means that you are all capable people with independent opinions, and I need a group of such people to work together, the so-called working together..."
Fu Yingying stopped drinking soup. She didn't know what Qiu would say, not only to make those people moved, but also not to let them think that she was daydreaming.
The pause was just a few breaths. Xia Hanqiu continued, "I know you can read. I don't know if you usually like reading?"
Some have a head, some shake their heads, and some don't respond.
"If you love reading, have you ever turned over history books?"
One person hesitated to answer, "I read history books, but I only read stories, not historical facts."
"Have you ever seen the story of the Wu Dynasty?"
"Cuncidentally, what I read most is the story of the Wu Dynasty. For me, only the story of that dynasty is worth reading. Any dynasty other than the Wu Dynasty praises men. Women are useless, but the Wu Dynasty is not. It is a dynasty where men and women have their own strengths and weaknesses."
This breakthrough was really good. Xia Hanqiu was a little relieved, "I don't know if Miss is..."
"My surname is Yan, and Miss Yan, who is said to be unmarried in Huiting City, is me."
Fu Yingying couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of soup. Under the sight of the crowd, she coughed awkwardly and wiped her face. She calmed down a little and said, "Miss Yan really doesn't have to be so modest. It's not that you can't get married. It's because you don't want
"I'm rushing for the Yan family. I'm about to become an old girl. If I really want to get married, it's just an incident. The dowry is the purpose of those people. Even if I recruit my son-in-law to support the Yan family, I won't do what they want. The things of the Yan
"If Miss Yan has the foundation to stand up, she can support the Yan family by herself, so that no one dares to bully?"
Miss Yan's expression has not changed at all. "There is no free lunch in the world. I can't believe Mrs. Zheng's words."
Xia Hanqiu didn't care and turned the topic back. "Since Miss Yan knows the Wu Dynasty, she should know that the women of that dynasty are simply different from the current women."
Miss Yan was silent.
No one knows how many times she has slapped the pillow full of resentment. He hates why she was not born in the Wu Dynasty. If she was born in the Wu Dynasty, those cousins dare to spread the news unscrupulously and said that they were waiting to receive the Yan family, who dared!
"Does Mrs. Zheng want to reproduce the scenery of women in the Wu Dynasty?"
Xia Hanqiu looked at the speaker with a faint smile: "Do you think I'm delusional?"
"What is not delusion? Not to mention other men, even our respective men will not allow us to come out.
"Why do they allow or disallow?"
"They are men, our husbands, and the sky that holds up the family."
"Who stipulated it? They are husbands, and you are wives. They should be in an equal relationship. Why should your words and deeds be controlled by them?
Yes, who stipulated it? Since childhood, they have listened to the words of father at home, married husband, and husband die from son. This concept has grown into their minds, so that they always remember that they have never asked themselves for a moment. What's wrong with this, and they have never traced who said this and who set the rules.
"Mrs. Zheng has such confidence, but what's the difference between Master Zheng and others?"
"He? He depends on me. Even a few years ago, there was no difference between me and you. The same man is the sky, and the same mind is full of marriage from his father and husband at home. If it hadn't been for some other circumstances, if it hadn't been for my husband's indulgence, there would have been no such an invitation today.
Miss Yan stopped other people's words, "I have understood what Madam means. Madam wants women to stand out. I believe that there should be few women in the world who can refuse such **. I don't know if Mrs. Zheng can say it in more detail."
"I know a lot of things that can make you believe immediately, but I can't say it for the time being. If you don't believe it, it's one of them. Besides, it's not the time yet." Xia Hanqiu said it bluntly, but the more she said so, the more she trusted her.
"But I also want to convince you that I have selected a lot of 12 people here, including Yingying. If you think it's appropriate, you will have today's invitation. Let me tell you the most common one."
After drinking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Xia Hanqiu looked up and his expression was still indifferent, but the bursting self-confidence was not ignored. "The State of Liang will be completely defeated in a month. The State of Wu and the State of Yan had a confrontation, and the State of Guan also had a move. The neighboring It is very possible to attack. The war of the ten countries in the world is just around the corner. This is an opportunity for the heroes in the world. I think it is also an opportunity for women.
"Madam is joking. Which woman will have the courage to go to the battlefield?"
"You don't have to go to the battlefield to make women famous." Xia Hanqiu got up. She was a little anxious. If she could put out all the chips in her hand, it wouldn't take much effort to convince these people, but she still has a lot of things to say now.
It's very simple to remember. It's really not easy to do.
"Wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, Xia Hanqiu left the room and went out of the house by himself.
More than a dozen people looked at each other in constergru.
As soon as Fu Yingying was about to put down the soup bowl and take over the mess, she heard the voice of her cousin-in-law.
"I knew about this earlier than you." As if he didn't feel the sight of everyone falling on him, Meng looked at the teacup in front of him and continued, "Mrs. Zheng came to me a few days ago. She showed me something, so I believe everything she said today."
Meng raised his head, "In fact, it's not that you don't believe it, but that you can't believe that as a woman's helplessness, I don't believe you have feelings in your heart, just like you can't trust Mrs. Zheng, and Mrs. Zheng can't trust you, so There is no hesitation. Think about it, anyway, it won't be worse than now, right? What if it happens? What if a woman really turns over in our own hands? Thinking about it, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night. If there was that day, there were some things, why should we be patient? If there was that day, how could men be mean to us again? RO
