Chapter 29 Mrs. Zhang's question
While the two were fighting, the guests had already entered the house. Sun Shaozu and Yingchun went out to greet the guests one after another.
Four pairs of gorgeously dressed men and women are being given in by Sun Rong.
Sun Shaozu called several friends with a smile, and his three friends also greeted Sun Shaozu respectively. A beautiful man smiled at Sun Shaozu and said, "Brother Sun, is the moon cake filling delicious?"
After saying that, the other three laughed. Sun Shaozu punched the man in the shoulder and turned around to call Yingchun: "My wife, I have met several friends here."
Hearing this name, Yingchun's feet softened and almost lay on the ground. Fortunately, Xiuju and Sizhu held her left and right. Yingchun is still scolding in his heart: What's wrong? It's okay to call it by name, but it's still my wife. It's so numb and loose!
Yingchun came to several people, gently saluted, squeezed his lips, and didn't say a word. Everyone praised the gift of welcoming spring. In fact, the reason why they welcomed spring was because they squeezed their mouths for fear of scolding Sun Shaozu.
Sun Shaozu was quite satisfied with Yingchun's performance. He introduced several people to Yingchun, and then asked Yingchun to take the four wives to the inner courtyard.
The four ladies entered the inner courtyard with the Spring Festival. After sitting down, several ladies looked at each other and smiled. Looking at several ladies in the spring, Mrs. Lu has a good appearance and a amiable smile. Mrs. Yan is weak and polite. Mrs. Li is elegant and generous. Mrs. Zhang is rich and beautiful, and she is domineering.
Mrs Lu stood up first and said to Yingchun with a smile, "When Master Sun and Mrs. Sun get married, my master and I are not in Kyoto. If we can't come, my master is uneasy. When I came today, Te asked me to make up a gift for Mrs. Sun, and asked Mrs. Sun not to be surprised. With that, let the girl bring a beautiful box and put it in front of Yingchun.
Yingchun asked the embroidered orange to accept the gift box and thanked Mrs. Lu with a smile. Several ladies began to gossip.
Mrs. Zhang on the seat asked Yingchun directly without waiting for a few people to say a few words: "Mrs. Sun, there is one thing I don't understand, and I still need to ask for advice."
Yingchun looked at Mrs. Zhang and saw her eyebrows slightly raised, with all the light in her eyes. Yingchun smiled and said, "What's the matter? I hope Mrs. Zhang will give me some advice."
Mrs. Zhang raised the corners of her mouth and said with a faint smile, "My master gave Master Sun a girl named Chu Jiao. I don't know what she did wrong. Why was she sold by Mrs. Sun?"
Several ladies were at a loss, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would ask such a thing as soon as she entered the door.
Oh? It turned out that Chujiao was given by her master to Sun Shaozu. Yingchun thought coldly, no wonder Chu Jiao was so arrogant. Looking at the master's grandmother, she knew what the slave would look like.
Yingchun smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhang, this is a family matter in my house. It seems inconvenient for Mrs. Zhang to ask."
As soon as the Spring Festival speech was spoken, Mrs. Zhang was a little speechless. She didn't expect Mrs. Sun to refute herself like this.
Mrs. Li raised her hand, drank tea, and raised the corners of her mouth. Mrs. Yan looked at Yingchun in surprise and didn't seem to believe it. Mrs. Lu became interested in the teacup on the table and watched it carefully.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at the expressions of several people and felt that she couldn't hang on her face. She said sharply: "I'm also good for Mrs. Sun. Although Chu Yao is beautiful, she is still very sensible. I'm afraid that Mrs. Sun will be stained and jealous and damage Mrs. Sun's reputation. After saying these words, Mrs. Zhang glanced at Yingchun with disdain.
Yingchun saw Mrs. Zhang's words directly towards her, and she deliberately provoked her. Originally, she wanted to save some face for Mrs. Zhang, but now she doesn't want to do it at all.
Yingchun covered her mouth with a veil, laughed a few times, and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Why was Chujiao sold? Look at Mrs. Zhang, what else does Mrs. Zhang understand about other people's family affairs? There is no room for individual slaves in my house.
The reply was very powerful, which made Mrs. Zhang's face blush and white for a while. Mrs. Zhang couldn't sit any longer. She stood up, ignored Yingchun, and left with her girl.
Mrs Yan's face turned pale and grasped her dress tightly. Mrs. Lu stood up to persuade Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang ignored it and left by herself.
Yingchun didn't stand up and watched Mrs. Zhang go out without a word of persuasion.
Mrs Lu came back, looked at Yingchun and smiled with some embarrasment: "Don't be surprised. Mrs. Zhang is a little petty. We have dated several times before, and we know her. This matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun must not take it to heart."
Yingchun nodded with a smile, so that she would not take it to heart. After hitting the people who wanted to hit her, she also took her popularity away. She was extremely happy.
Mrs. Li smiled and relieved the siege: "What did we just say? Go on. Mrs. Sun, is there anything new about the flowers here? Can we take a look at it? Don't hide your privacy."
Yingchun listened to Mrs. Li's witty words, knowing that Mrs. Li was going to talk away, and smiled gratefully at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li also smiled at Yingchun. Several people began to gossip again, and, driven by Mrs. Li, they were less formal and talked more happily.
After a while, a little girl came to welcome the Spring Festival and said that the master invited his wife to go.
Six wives all know what Sun Shaozu is looking for to welcome the Spring Festival.
Yingchun stared at the little girl: "Don't you see me with the three ladies? Something without a look! Go back and tell your master. Let's talk about it later.
After listening to Yingchun's words, Mrs. Yan opened her mouth slightly and looked at Yingchun as if she had seen a god. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lu are not surprised by Mrs. Yan, but they both think it is very interesting to welcome the spring. And Mrs. Li also mischievously patted Yingchun's little hand.
When the little girl was in a dilemma, Mrs. Li opened her mouth and said, "Go and tell Master Sun that we will use it and let her spend more time with us. Now we can't return it to Master Sun."
After Mrs. Li's words, Mrs. Lu also smiled, but Yingchun's face was slightly red.
Never connected her with Sun Shaozu like this and said that Mrs. Li was helping herself, and she understood. But suddenly she and Sun Shaozu were involved and said that they were not used to spring.
At lunchtime, Yingchun ordered the kitchen to prepare meals and warmly entertained the three ladies. Several ladies had a good chat during the dinner.
After eating, the little men in front of me came to invite the ladies to send the three people out in the spring. When Mrs. Li left, she held Yingchun's hand and said, "Mrs. Sun, go to my house when you have time, so as not to be idle at home." Mrs. Li smiled sincerely.
Wingchun thanked Mrs. Li and sent the three ladies directly into the carriage before coming back.
