Chapter 407 Zhenfu Appreciation of Chrysanthemum, Yuji Huang

In late August, the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet of the Zhen family was held as scheduled. Of course, the women of a famous family in Kyoto were happy to invite them - at least the Zhen family is still the mother of the crown princess. Since they have received the invitation, they dare not sweep the face of the Zhen family.

However, since Zhen Mo failed to calculate Dongyin in Lingshan that year, it can be regarded as a grudge in the Duke of Wei. In recent years, the Duke of Wei's family's large and small banquets of the Wei Guofu has been sent to decent stewards at most to serve gifts. In those years, that incident was an uproar. Not to mention the ladies who are used to socializing, even some decent servants in various prefectures also have ears. We all know that the Zhen family is at odds with the Duke of Wei.

So, when the ladies saw Huang in the back garden of the Zhen family, they were somewhat surprised.

Huang naturally had a saying in front of the eldest princess: "Originally, it's okay if we don't go to the Zhen family's banquet, but Mrs. Zhen came to invite her in person this time. The daughter-in-law thought that if she still doesn't give face, it's too unreasonable. Chen'er and Jing'er are the princess at present, and the other is the concubine of the clan, and the Zhen family has arrived. At the bottom, it is the princess's family. Mrs. Zhen took the initiative to show her goodwill in the past. We should also show some posture.

The eldest princess knew in her heart why the Huang family wanted to go, and did not stop it. She nodded slightly and said, "How many years of old things have been, it is useless to mention them, so that others will not talk about our narrow-mindedness. However, as soon as Brother and daughter-in-law go, people may not talk about what happened in those years. Zhen Mo is gone, and there is no need to be told again. Mouth, I mean, just let the six girl accompany you to socialize.

It just set off Huang's heart - although Liao's sister-in-law and Sanniang will not appear at the Zhenfu chrysanthemum banquet this time, she still has to meet Mrs. Yin, and she is also worried about the inconvenience of taking Dong Yin. After all, Liu Niang is still a boudoir, and her attendance is to have fun with the noble girls, which is not a problem.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Niang heard that she was going to the Zhen family, she refused: "My mother always knew that I was most annoyed by those socializing. The sisters didn't go, and it became more and more boring."

Huang knew that Liu Niang was stubborn. Once she hated anyone, she would never be falsely persuaded or persuade her. She took a lonely car to Zhenfu.

Mrs Zhen came to greet her in person, took Huang's hand and said affectionately for a while. She saw that Mrs. Jianninghou, Mrs. Huang San and Jiang Yue were led over by their daughter-in-law, and they were invited into the flower house for a long time.

Jiang Yue asked because she didn't see Liu Niang.

"I had a cold last night and a little cough today, so I didn't let her come." In front of Mrs. Zhen, of course, Huang can't say that Liu Niang doesn't want to socialize.

But there is another legend - Ningfei of the Third Prince's Mansion and the White Concubine of the Fourth Prince's Mansion have arrived.

Of course, Mrs. Zhen went out again. Zhen's mansion held a banquet. Although she sent posts with the royal palace, it was not sure whether they would come or not - ordinary nobles received invitations, even if they did not come, they would usually say no in advance. There would always be some excuses such as illness or busyness, but the invitation posts received by the clan and the royal palace were too Many, generally, most of them will not attend, and of course they will not accompany the crime. The host family does not have any hope. Sending posts is just etiquette.

Although there are only two side concubines from the prince's mansion, of course, Mrs. Zhen will not neglect it. It is always a courtesy to greet them in person.

However, there are some complaints in my heart, and the third prince's mansion is fine. There is no imperial concubine. It doesn't matter if the people of the fourth prince's mansion don't come. What does it mean for Qin to send a side concubine to attend? It is clear that it is perfunctory, and the Qin family also ignores the undeity of the crown princess too much.

Concubine Bai greeted people with a smile. When she saw her master, of course, she first said the busy routine of Concubine Qin.

Mrs. Zhen didn't look at the fourth prince's mansion and said with a smile, "I know, at present, Concubine Deng is pregnant, and Concubine Qin dares not be careless."

Concubine Qin saw that she was a "deep and hot" jealous woman's face. Everyone had laughed privately that she was a famous girl from the prime minister's mansion, but she didn't know the general situation at all. She was afraid that others would not know how jealous but spoiled her situation. It was really funny. At this time, when she heard Mrs. Zhen's sarcasm, they all smiled at the corners of their mouth and waited to see Bai Fei. The reaction.

The white concubine didn't care, but still smiled gently: "Just forgive me, madam." He looked around the scenery in the garden and sincerely praised a few words. Everyone bowed frequently, saying that although the Bai family was a poor family, he got a half of the official position, and the daughter raised was more demeanor than that of Xiangfu.

He also said that Huang went out with Mrs. Jianninghou and enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way. She was cold and noisy with the wife who knew her. She looked coldly. Instead of being estranged from Mrs. Hou, she was more attentive than before, and her heart was really depressed.

If it hadn't been for the prestige of the Duke of Wei, the Empress would not have cared about the reputation of Jianning Hou Mansion. At the palace banquet, she personally brought her wife to the banquet. How could others dare to discuss the rights and wrong of the Hou Mansion?

The only poor brother and sister-in-law were expelled from the clan by the old pious woman. Sooner or later, this hatred will snow!

The smile on his face did not diminish at all. He talked intimately with his eldest sister-in-law. After turning a flower wall, he saw Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zhuo coming face to face. The two were accompanied by Wei Eleven Niang and Zhuo Yingyu respectively.

They are all families that have a good relationship with the Duke of Wei. Of course, Huang and Mrs. Hou are very enthusiastic. The two wives Wei and Zhuo did not notice the bitterness and resentment under Huang's smile at all. Instead, they spared no effort to please Mrs. Hou for fear that people would not feel enthusiasm.

"Let the younger generation go to the garden to enjoy themselves. Don't ask them to listen to us parents." Huang couldn't help interrupting Mrs. Wei and Zhuo's flattery.

The four ladies found a pavilion to sit down, and immediately a maid came up with a refreshment. Huang patiently listened to Mrs. Wei praise the sixth lady and talked about the beautiful scenery: "That day, because of one thing, I went to visit the King of Chu's Palace and saw with my own eyes that the old princess treated the imperial concubine like her own granddaughter. No wonder the old princess was like this, no matter Talent and beauty, the imperial concubine can be regarded as one of the top noble daughters in Kyoto, and it is also thanks to the talent of the prince of Chu in the world. The two are really pearls of the jade wall, a match made in heaven.

Mrs. Zhuo then flattered Mrs. Wei's words: "Whether it is the imperial concubine or the sixth mother, Princess Fu is also dignified and luxurious, and extraordinary. It can be seen that the Duke's wife is well disciplined, which is really enviable."

Huang's heart became more and more depressed - she used to hear this. Although she was not happy, she didn't care about it. However, recently, she has met repeatedly, but the most praised beautiful scenery is also centrifugal with her. Although Yichen is the same, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be indifferent to her under the influence of her family in the future. Although Liu Niang kissed her, this daughter Too loyal - at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, because Liu Niang was praised by the emperor, the empress dowager rewarded her, and she was in the limelight. Even the servants in the house knew the decentness earned by Liu Niang.

Seeing that Huang's situation was in a difficult situation, M Mother Lan couldn't help it for a moment and thought about it. She went to Liu Niang and cried about the harsh treatment of the eldest princess and the Duke of Wei, which made her wife lose the power to take charge of the middle-feeding and provoked Liu Niang to go to the eldest princess to fight for her wife and go to the Duke of the Duke of Wei to get justice for her.

Of course, the words are not so explicit and domineering, but the meaning is such a layer.

After hearing this, Liu Niang told Mother Lan to the Huang family, saying that Mother Lan was provoking right and wrong, and her intentions were scheming, and persuaded Huang to punish Mother Lan.

Huang's anger was lost by her fair and righteous daughter. She really punished Mother Lan's moon silver. Liu Niang didn't stop and said loudly: "Grandmother is kind and her father is upright. She will never embarras her mother for no reason. The matter of feeding the housekeeper should have been decided by her grandmother. At present, there are third aunts and eldest sister-in-law, and the mother is also It's easy to take it easy. There is also the eldest brother who is filial, the eldest sister-in-law is virtuous, and he will not disrespect his mother. How can he instigate Niang in private? If he does not punish him, he is the mother, and he is also suspected of being unfilial and unkind.

After all, Mama Lan was subjected to a few boards, and Huang added another plea: "Mother is my wet nurse, and she also has the kindness to raise me. The small punishment is, don't make it out of control."

Only then did Liu Niang let go of Mother Lan and said to Huang, "If my daughter hadn't seen that M mother was the mother's wet nurse, she would have handed it directly to the third aunt and the eldest sister-in-law. The mother would have to warn her that those words should not be mentioned in the future. Although the daughter doesn't know why her grandmother doesn't let her mother feed in her palm again, her grandmother is a respected elder, and her mother should also obey her decision. Even if the mother does not give in her palm, she is also the wife of the Duke of the country. No one dares to neglect you. If the servant in the family dares to neglect because her mother does not give in her palm, the daughter will seek justice for her mother.

The Huang also hated Mother Lan for acting without authorization, but she couldn't help but complain that Liu Niang was too rigid, full of benevolence and filial piety. She didn't know that people's hearts were dangerous at all. They said about the palace banquet. Wei Mingyu had nothing to do with Liu Niang, but one person who was often silent in the past had more trouble. Although she did not cause trouble, she was rewarded, but a boudoir Son, in front of the emperor, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth about "adoration" and "private teaching". Which is what the woman of the family should say? On the contrary, her biological mother is in a difficult situation in the government, but Liu Niang thinks it should be!

The golden Rui in the garden is bright and the purple chrysanthemum is enchanting. At this time, it only adds irritation to Huang's eyes.

It was easy to expect a few ladies to wander around here, distracting the praise of Wei and Zhuo's two wives to their stepdaughters. Only then did Huang have a sense of relief, and the depression in her chest dispersed a little.

"Is that the second young lady Zhenfu?" Mrs. Wei suddenly saw Liao Qing passing by the front path with several ordinary women and asked softly.

"Exactly, this is also Mrs. Zhen's niece. She is gentle and generous. Mrs. Zhen is close to her." A lady who often talks with the Zhen family speaks very meaningfully.

Mrs. Zhen's son Xing San, the first two were concubines. I don't know which daughter Zhen Dalang married. She never appeared at the banquet. Instead, Liao Qing had the opportunity to follow the guests because she was originally a relative of Mrs. Zhen. However, everyone also saw that the third young lady of the Zhen family, that is, Mrs. Zhen His daughter-in-law was a little insinuous to Liao Qing. Obviously, the two concubines were in a predicaable situation in Zhen's house.

As a guest, of course, you can't talk about the right and wrong of the master's family. The ladies understand it, that is, to mention it casually.

Huang thought that this is the proper attitude of the mother-in-law to treat the concubine's son and daughter-in-law. Like her, whether they are close or alienated, they are fair, but it is difficult to make trouble.

completely ignores that she is also a concubine. If Mrs. Zhen is "truth", she should not complain to Huang's mother. What's more, Su Xun's brother and sister are dignified, and her identity is brighter than her stepmother. What's more, she is only superficially virtuous, and she can't wait for the death of the three brothers and sisters in her private heart. There is no place to be buried.

As he was talking, several ladies came with the third young lady Wei from afar, and Huang's eyebrows jumped.

She recognized that one of them was Mrs. Yin. Although Mrs. Yin was only the wife of a fourth-grade official and did not know the noble women of the family, she accidentally met her at the banquet in the Bepfu and didn't talk much.

Wei is also a noble family. She is the carefully selected daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhen for her legitimate son. She knows what Huang is going to the banquet for today. She brought a few noble women here. First, she introduced her and said to Mrs. Hou, "I just saw Mrs. Zou on the edge of the lotus pond."

Mrs Zou is the sister of Mrs. Hou's mother.

After listening to this, of course, Mrs. Hou will go to talk to her sister.

Huang stayed in the pavilion and gradually got close to Mrs. Yin, who was not familiar with her, praising the soft brocade fabric, bright in color and novel in patterns. He asked which shop bought it.

"It's fragrant in a beautiful color." Mrs. Yin said respectfully.

"Is it the one in Ping'an Square?" Huang seemed to ask casually.

The beautiful fragrance is the property of the Liao family. There are five stores in the inner city of Kyoto alone.

When it comes to silk and satin, all the noblewomen became interested and talked about which Shu brocade has magnificent colors and which Yunjin has complete patterns. Gradually, no one paid attention to the dialogue between Huang and Mrs. Yin.

"That shop was introduced to me by Mrs. Zhen. I heard that it was run by Mrs. Zhen's family." Mrs. Yin was advised to be cautious and did not explicitly mention the word "Liao": "If the Duke's wife looks good, let's go and have a look together another day?"

This was in the ears, and I just thought that Mrs. Yin was going to win over the Duke's wife.

Huang smiled gently: "Speaking of this shop, I knew it early, and the government often buys it there."

This is to admit the relationship with the Liao family. Today, Huang took the initiative to talk to Mrs. Yin, which was originally an expression of his attitude. As for whether Mrs. Yin's clothes came from the Liao family's shop, it doesn't matter.

Huang added: "However, the one in Ping'an Square is less likely to go. The pavement is too small, not as spacious as Daxing Street in the outer city, and the flower samples are even more complete."

Liao's family is on Daxing Street.

There is nothing Mrs. Yin doesn't understand, and her smile is getting more and more eager.
