Chapter 51 Mrs. Li's Gift
Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Zhang and said coldly, "That's not true. My concubines are also gentle and scheme. In other words, there are both charitable and mean mothers.
After saying that, Mrs. Li picked up the tea and took a sip gently.
Mrs Zhang's face had turned white at this time. She stared at Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li completely ignored it. She drank tea and smiled and told Mrs. Lu about everything new.
Yingchun only felt that the atmosphere suddenly became delicate. Yingchun didn't understand the middle reason and was inconvenient to speak.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Mrs. Lu immediately smiled and said, "You can go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. My thousand ** are blooming."
Mrs. Zhang didn't wait for anyone to give way and walked to the front far away from her seat. Mrs. Lu had no choice but to smile at several people Yingchun, leading several people to walk towards the back garden. Mrs. Zhang walked in front, Mrs. Lu pulled Mrs. Yan in the middle, and Yingchun and Mrs. Li walked at the end.
When Mrs. Li saw that the first few people had gone a little far, she whispered to Yingchun, "Mrs. Sun probably doesn't know that Mrs. Yan is a concubine. Mrs. Yan is actually the concubine sister of Mrs. Yan Guoshan's former son. Mrs. Yan has been in poor health. Her parents don't know what to covet Yan Guoshan, and also married her daughter to Yan. The house said that it was to take care of their legitimate daughter. In fact, I think they want to let Yan Guoshan help her daughter to become the head of the house in case one day.
Mrs. Li said and couldn't help sighing: "Yan Guoshan did not like the current Mrs. Yan, but the face of her deceased wife still had to be taken into account. Moreover, Mrs. Yan gave birth to Yan Guoshan's eldest son when she was a concubine, so Mrs. Yan became a filled house. Therefore, Mrs. Yan was also afraid that Yan Guoshan was more, and the concubines in the family never paid attention to Mrs. Yan. It is also because of this that Mrs. Yan feels that we are half short. Today, Mrs. Zhang slapped people in the face. How can Mrs. Yan's face look good?
Yingchun finally knew why Mrs. Yan looked uncomfortable and why Mrs. Li just said that, and why Yan Guoshan did not give Mrs. Yan any face and dared to beat Mrs. Yan in public. It turned out that Mrs. Yan still had the humbleness of her concubine in her bones.
Yingchun couldn't help thinking, why don't their two aunts have the humbleness of Mrs. Yan? Everyone is more like a lady than her.
Yingchun admires Mrs. Li very much. She knows the details and can say something for Mrs. Yan, which is also Mrs. Li's righteousness. Yingchun couldn't help holding Mrs. Li's hand: "You are straightforward."
Mrs Li looked at the winding path with a smile: "I really can't compliment Mrs. Zhang's style. Mrs. Yan has a soft personality. How can she speak like this regardless of other people's feelings? Mrs. Sun, in fact, I am also a common woman. I know the difficulties of a common woman and have tasted everyone's cold eyes. I think you understand. However, now that everything is over, Bai Yi has never looked down on me because I am a common girl. I think I'm fine now. Everything is much better than I thought.
Yingchun couldn't help but stop and look at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li smiled without a trace of inferiority, but clenched Yingchun's hand. Yingchun also clenched Mrs. Li's hand. The two said nothing more, but they understood each other's mood at this moment.
Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Lu's flowers and plants in the courtyard, turned to Yingchun and said, "Last time I saw that there were very few flowers and plants in your room. I have a few orchids there. I'll send them to you some other day."
Yingchun hurriedly thanked her, and Mrs. Li smiled and took Yingchun's hand and walked towards Mrs. Lu.
Mrs Lu kept several ladies with meals. During the banquet, Mrs. Zhang has been maintaining a mud-stained height. Every time Mrs. Lu gives in, Mrs. Zhang just hummed arrogantly. Except for Mrs. Lu's greeting of Mrs. Zhang for the host, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan did not say another word to Mrs. Zhang.
After eating, the people dispersed and returned to Sun's mansion in a carriage for the Spring Festival.
Sun Shaozu knew that Yingchun was invited by Mrs. Lu and went to Lufu. Sun Shaozu is just thinking about Yingchun not losing his manners. He is a little disdainful of this kind of lady-to-wife entertainment. In a woman's family, it's good to take care of her husband and her son. Although Yingchun is far away from her husband and son, as long as she doesn't leave any friend's wife away from the table, he will burn high incense.
The next day, when he went down to the government, he saw two servants carrying boxes from the car. Sun Shaozu asked and found out that Mrs. Li sent someone to send two flowers to Yingchun.
Sun Shaozu didn't expect to have a good relationship with his friend's wife, and there were still people who would welcome spring. Jia Yingchun, a woman who is not ordinary and doesn't know how to be polite, how can someone send her something? Sun Shaozu went to the spring room with curiosity. At this time, Yingchun took the girl around and was not in the room. Sun Shaozu looked at the little girl Xiao Cui with two orchids. At a inadvertent glance, he was stunned.
Sun Shaozu never thought that Mrs. Li valued Yingchun so much. For such a generous gift, he was afraid that Yingchun would not be so good to return the thank-you gift. Sun Shaozu frowned slightly, looked at the orchid for a while, and then left.
When he returned to the house for spring, Sun Shaozu had already left. Xiao Cui told Yingchun that Mrs. Li sent two orchids, which were very beautiful. Looking over in the spring, I saw two orchid leaves half-hanging, with red shells and flower buds, which were very delicate. Yingchun also liked it. At this time, Xiao Cui replied, "Madam, the master also came here just now."
"Is he coming?" Yingchun was a little strange. What did he come to do? "What is he doing here?"
Xiao Cui thought for a moment and said, "The master didn't say anything to do. He just looked at the two orchids, and then frowned and left."
I didn't say anything, just to see the orchid and frowned when I left? This inevitably makes Yingchun feel a little strange. Is there something wrong with the two orchids? Yingchun thought for a moment, called the embroidered orange and asked the embroidered orange to find the gardener in the garden.
The gardener soon came to welcome the Spring Festival and gave a salute. Yingchun asked him to look at the two orchids. The gardener took a look first, and immediately went to look left and right. He looked carefully for a long time before bowing back and said, "Madam, this orchid is called Wanhemei. Although it is called plum, it is a kind of orchid produced in Jiangsu. There are few now. There may be fewer people with this flower in Kyoto. "
It's so precious. Yingchun also sat up straight: "Then how much is the price of 10,000 and Mei?"
The gardener smiled and said, "I'm afraid the price is hard to say, but I'm afraid that if you have money, you have nowhere to buy it. People who own such flowers will not easily sell this flower to others. Madam, the value of these two Wanhemei plants is actually enough to buy a decent house.
