Chapter 713 Congratulations on adding makeup, Qin's temptation
The new rain comes at night, moistening things silently. In the early morning, although the clouds were dark, the golden black was faint behind and looked up to the east sky from the corridor. What I saw was also a light white light in my eyes, which would be completely covered by clouds at any time. There was dripping under the eaves, the cold hair under the wet mud, and the path was also full of water, but the wind that covered the sky and the sun not long ago. After all, the sand has been washed away, and the fresh but vigorous green buds on the branches make people feel refreshed.
It's March, and it's getting warmer this year. Even if it rains, there is no more ice.
In this courtyard of Jinyang Anfu, they have begun to be busy. In addition to the heavy winter clothes, their waists and limbs show their original slenderness, and their pace seems to be lighter than winter.
The wooden clenges under Mother Liang's feet made a slight noise. When she reached the edge of the corridor, she took off her rain shoes under the service of the little maid. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw the brocade curtain opening. Next time, the steward Yao was hanging her hand. Because she was behind her back, she could not see her expression. She only listened to that, which seemed to imply a warning.
"It's better for the wife to listen to the advice of the maidservant. Don't hurry to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. This morning, the wife sent someone to invite the wife to return to Ning. The maidservant also reported clearly that the wife had made an appointment with Mrs. Gu and several other friends early. Today, she rushed to add makeup to Su Liuniang, but the visitors of Zhuo's house said that it was the wife. Knowing this, I asked my wife not to join in the excitement. Even Princess Chu, I was afraid that she couldn't keep it now. She said that she would go back to the government to accompany a few sisters to be married, but in fact, because the official admonished her of her innocence, the House of Chu was planning to abandon the princess..."
When Mother Liang heard this, her heart sank down and didn't care too much. She hurried into the room. Now she saw Zhuo Nianyu wrinkling her eyebrows, her palms clenched into fists, and staring at Yao angrily.
The steward Yao is an old slave of Zhuo's mansion. Mrs. Zhuo personally chose the accompanying room for Nianyu. When this steward has been for many years, everything was controlled and not very obedient. Mother Liang is Nianyu's wet nurse and the dowry maid of Nianyu's biological mother in those years. Naturally, she is loyal and everything is thinking about Nianyu. Originally, she was not happy that Yao often moved out of Mrs. Zhuo to suppress Nianyu, but when she heard this, she was anxious - the wife has no father or mother, and only Zhuo Shangshu, the uncle, was relying on her. Mother Liang did not know which was stronger or weaker in the power disputes outside. What she was worried about was that if Nianyu was involved and affected her uncle The official career has offended my mother's uncle again. How can I gain a foothold in the future?
Nianyu has complained about Yao for a long time, and gradually doesn't like to listen to her noise. However, Yao's wife is supported by Mrs. Zhuo behind her, and she must be respected on the surface. In private, she has many complaints with her close nursing mothers. Mother Liang is worried that her wife will be stubborn and stubborn in order to add makeup, which can't affect her uncle. The future gave Yao a chance to talk to Mrs. Zhuo and instigate Mrs. Zhuo, an aunt, to complain that her mother did not listen to the teaching.
Only M Mother Liang's words of persuasion could not be said, and Zhuo Nianyu had already sneered: "I handed over the post early in the morning when I went to the Duke of Wei today. How can I not believe it? Don't need to say much. My aunt has something to say to me. I only asked the maid to take the card to the warehouse to take out the congratulatory gift early in the morning, but I was blocked by my aunt. It doesn't work according to my master's instructions. I need your permission to take my own dowry first.
This made Yao's face turn red, raised his eyebrows, and unexpectedly contradict him face: "The maidservant is also planning for his wife. Lang Jun is now in the Hanlin Academy. In the future, he will be an official, and he will not rely on the help of Lord Shangshu. At present, the adult is a close minister, and the Duke of Wei is being feared by the emperor. Since the lady said first, she would not let the wife get along with the Duke of Wei again. In the final analysis, it is also for Lang Jun's future plan. It's really a good intention. The wife still has to be capricious.
Zhuo Nianyu was choked and slapped on the case: "This is Anfu, not Shangshufu. What should be done and what should not be done. It's not your turn to dictate."
"Since the wife said so, it depends on who the inner library steward wants to listen to."
Yao also raised his eyebrows and looked sarcastic.
She is also a confidant of Mrs. Zhuo. Since then, she has not seen such an orphan girl as Zhuo Nianyu. The An family is not a noble. The court is one level worse than the Shangshu family. Let alone that Lord Shangshu is being valued by the heavenly family. Mrs. Zhuo said that the wife has always been careless and can't take care of it. At present, An's parents are all in Tianjin. Only Anlang and his wife are in Jinyang. There is no elder at home to take care of her. Her aunt should make a point.
With Mrs. Zhuo supporting behind, how can Yao be afraid of Nian Yu?
Seeing the eyebrows of the master and servant, M Mother Liang became more and more anxious. Although she hated Yao's rampantness, she was afraid of Mrs. Zhuo. She was about to come forward and stop the dispute for the time being. Then she opened her mouth and heard a low voice behind her: "What a bold slave, I want to threaten the master."
The man who grabbed the next room step by step was Nianyu's husband Jun An Sanlang.
Seeing the male master, Yao's arrogance only went down a little, but it was still not a big deal. He just took a step back to the side and looked down slightly: "Lang Jun forgives, and the maidservant is also planning for Lang Jun..."
"I heard what you said just now." An Sanlang was resting today, but according to the old rules, he got up and went to the study to read in the morning. It took him a morning to return to the main room. Unexpectedly, he heard this and accumulated a lot of fire. At this time, he sat in a chair and asked Nianyu, "This slave is the wife's companion room, and the marriage contract is in your hands?"
Zhuo Nianyu's eyes have turned red: "A aunt didn't deliver it."
"Then send people back to Shangshufu. We can't allow such slaves to bully the Lord!"
As soon as Yao heard this, she was anxious and quickly interrupted: "The maidservant was given by Mrs. Zhuo..."
"This is the An family, not the Zhuo family!" An Sanlang waved his hand extremely impatiently: "But all the slaves and maidservants who do not have a match in hand will be returned to the Shangshu Mansion. Mrs. Shangshu must also understand the truth and human feelings. If you really plan for your wife, you should severely punish the unruly slaves. If you protect your shortcomings again, is it difficult to seek my family's wealth? In this way, I would like to have a good theory with Lord Shangshu.
Zhuo Nianyu has been dissatisfied with Yao for a long time. Seeing her husband's support, she no longer wants to endure it. Even if she tells Mother Liang to invite people out, she will send them back to Shangshu Mansion together with the disobedient internal treasury steward.
After the attack of Diao Nu, Nianyu was a little worried: "I don't know if my aunt's words are serious..."
"Don't be disturbed by it." Only when the husband and wife spoke in one place did An Sanlang's look ease: "Yesterday, several speakers came to the Hanlin Academy to lobby, trying to jointly impeach the king of Chu regardless of the etiquette and law and force the king of Chu to abandon the concubine. Most of his colleagues did not care about those government affairs. For the purpose of selfish desires but to build momentum based on rumors, they were willing to take care of them. The polluted people are nothing more than selfish people. The wife and the princess have been friends with each other. Since there are happy events in the national government, congratulations are not only for the friendship of confidants. If the princess is safe and sound, the wife is close to many times. Once there are troubles, she avoids thousands of miles, and there is no morality to seek benefits and harm, which is shameful.
Zhuo Nianyu was happy in his heart, but he said, "I'm afraid that my husband will be implicated because of me."
An Sanlang was even more undifferent: "Although the king of Chu was trusted by the previous emperor, he had no exclusive power. Among other things, thanks to his good handling of the epidemic, he saved tens of thousands of innocent people. For this reason, he did not hesitate to anger the powerful, and this matter should be respected by the people of the world. Nowadays, there are treacherous and loyal, but all loyal people should take a fair stand. If we maintain a private friendship with the Duke of Wei and the King of Chu, the court will suppress and force them. I don't want to be such officials, so as to avoid those who are greedy and insatiable.
This scope obviously frames Zhuo Shangshu. In fact, An Sanlang has been dissatisfied with Zhuo Shangshu's flattery for a long time. He heard his colleagues mocking Zhuo Shangshu's dignified Shangshu, but he was servile. He was ashamed of his early years. He wanted to draw a clear line with Zhuo Shangshu and had friends with his wife. He knew that although Zhuo Shangshu and his wife were waiting for Nian Yu's superficial love, In fact, it was very cold and did not plan for his wife wholeheartedly. That is to say, the marriage between the two could not have been achieved without the enthusiastic assistance of Princess Chu at the beginning.
An Sanlang increasingly despised Zhuo Shangshu's hypocrisy. Today's incident triggered An Sanlang's accumulated anger and did not treat Zhuo Shangshu as the marriage chief.
In fact, although Nianyu is an orphan daughter, her parents also have a family property. Her dowry was originally inherited by her parents. Of course, Mrs. Zhuo will not be greedy on her face, but she left her mind in the accompanying room and placed her own cronies to take care of Zhuo Nianyu. In fact, she still wanted to control her niece, but her intention was not virtuous.
This is not uncommon in small families, but for famous families, Mrs. Zhuo's methods are really contemptible.
He also said that Zhuo Nianyu was late to go to the Duke of Wei because of this unpleasant housework. At this time, Mrs. Gu, also known as Wei Eleven Niang, was right by her name: "Look, Ayu also made a bet with me that she was bound to arrive earlier than me. This time she lost. You have to testify to me and let Ayu compensate the table. Host."
The people who came to add makeup with Liu Niang today are all good friends in the boudoir of beautiful scenery. Several of them were made an appointment early, just to be lively together. Peng Lan and Yang Liu's husbands are all local hopefuls in Jinyang. As young daughters-in-law, they do not give gifts in the palms of their palms. They are idle and will not be tripped by trivial matters. The Gu family was originally a poor family. Gu Yu asked Both parents have passed away, and Wei Eleven Niang naturally has to be in charge of the family. She is a housewife like Zhuo Yingyu. She compares who is more punctual.
Although the six women are taciturn, they are still close to the acquaintances of several five sisters. They specially instructed the maids to serve tea and fruit. They did not dislike Wei Eleven Niang's impatience. It was already a kind hospitality. When Zhuo Nianyu came, they hurried late, but because there were many people present, it was not easy to ask the inside story of the scenery returning home. Of course, although everyone's hearts were six My mother regretted that her marriage was not human, and when the happy event was approaching, there would be no more words to say, and the atmosphere was lively and harmonious for a while.
But an uninvited guest came again. It was Mrs. Qin who took her eldest daughter and eight nieces to put on makeup on this day.
Huang came here in person, and his attentive attitude made Wei Eleven Niang and Zhuo Nianyu look good.
It happened that Erlang Su Yi caught up with returning to Beijing for appointment. At this time, the couple also returned to the Duke of Wei. Qin Wuniang wanted to accompany her sisters. Her crampedness was obvious, but she was more silent than Liu Niang, who had always been silent.
Mrs. Qin is an elder and it is not easy to communicate with the younger generation too much. After a little cold, she was invited to He Ruiyuan by the Huang family. Here, Liu Niang, who had no good impression on Qin's sisters, simply pulled Peng Lan and Yang Liulian and Ba Niang to set up a two-way chess case and catch the right son to "kill". The Qin sisters were given to Yijing for entertainment.
In fact, because Dong Yin is pregnant again, it is inconvenient to treat guests. Yijing returned home this time, which really helped the third aunt Xu's help.
The three little women gathered together in advance after marriage, among which Qi Niang was also Xu's biological daughter, which was really busy.
Qin Ba Niang has been married, but the marriage is still hanging. According to Qin Xiang's intention, she wants to marry her into the clan. The first choice is Yubiao's second son. The political intention is obvious, but the imperial concubine has already talked about it - as long as she has a breath, her great-grandson will marry a poor family and does not want the daughter raised by the Qin family!
However, the emperor also intends to marry, and he is competing with the Empress Dowager for this matter.
The relationship between Qin Ba Niang and Qin Ziruo is still sloppy. There is no quarrel between the two sisters, and because of "consistent external relations", this day, they can't help it.
Looking at Wei Eleven's and other lively talks with beautiful scenery, she also came to have fun and said, "I didn't hear the Duke's wife talk about it today, but I don't know about the princess's return home."
Qin Wuniang was a little anxious and looked at her sisters several times, but Aunt Qin and Ba Niang didn't even give her a corner of their eyes.
Yijing replied with a smile: "It was my negligence that I didn't know you."
Wei Eleven Niang almost choked the tea. Seeing that Qin Ba Niang was so angry that she almost couldn't help coughing and kindly reminded him, "A Jing, Ba Niang didn't mean that. Isn't her seventh sister a maidservant in your house? Originally, this matter should not be hidden from all the prime minister's mansion."
Aunt Qin secretly slandered that the eighth sister could not speak and knew how to cause trouble. She also deeply resented the Eleventh Niang's tricky and said seriously, "Mrs. Gu's words are not good. The daughter of the prime minister's mansion for a long time, the maidservant of the king of Chu, has nothing to do with the eighth sister."
Wei Eleven Niang smiled and said, "So what does your mother mean? Don't you really think that the princess needs to inform her when she returns home?"
Qin Banniang couldn't say anything about her suffering. She originally wanted to use this to test whether Princess Chu really proposed peace and divorce. She was blocked one after another, which was only ashamed.
Aunt Qin's self-confidence was slightly better and changed her sister's life: "The eighth sister has also heard some rumors and is concerned about the princess. Our two families are always in-laws."
Qin Wuniang, as a link, looked down and her silver teeth clenched, and her expression was really solemn.
Ath Aunt Qin raised her eyes slightly, which was meaningful, and the next sentence became more and more scheming--
