55. Chapter 55
Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Yuzhi chatted for a while and then left. Of course, such a rare opportunity should not be wasted on comforting the "weak". At any rate, we should get to know more ladies from various governments and broaden our interpersonal circle.
Fu Wan told her an interesting story about meeting her children, and was called by her mother-in-law's sister-in-law.
Not long after the three left, other ladies from the mansion came to say hello to Shen Xinyan, and many of them secretly wanted to inquire about Jing Anbo and Li from her. .
Seeing that they couldn't find any useful information from her mouth, those people were quite bored, and after a few polite words, they walked away one after another.
"Second sister-in-law, why did you come here? Let me find it!" Wei Qiongshu came over at some unknown time and said with a smile.
"Just now I met a few familiar ladies and chatted for a few words. Before I knew it, it took such a long time, which made my sister laugh." Shen Xin replied with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law come with me, and I'll bring you to meet a lady." Wei Qiongshu reached out and held her, and without waiting for her answer, he pulled her forward.
Shen Xinyan followed her helplessly, and naturally guessed that the lady she was talking about was not a lady from an ordinary family.
"Where's Miss Fang? Why don't you see her?" She asked without a word.
"It's not that Tao'er was naughty, and actually poured water on Bi Rong's skirt. I asked the servants to take her in to change her clothes." Wei Qiongshu said helplessly.
Tao'er in her mouth was her five-year-old son.
"There's no way a child can't move. Besides, Miss Fang is not an outsider, so she doesn't care if she thinks about it." Shen Xinyan said disapprovingly.
Fang Birong had to rely on Wei Qiongshu to bring her to get to know Mrs. Xungui, not to mention that Tao'er just accidentally splashed her skirt, even if it was soiled and damaged, she wouldn't care.
"It's also thanks to Bi Rong's good temper. Second sister-in-law, come..." Wei Qiongshu took her to walk towards a noble lady who was like being held by the stars, and introduced her in a low voice as she walked, " That is the direct sister-in-law of the Empress, the second lady of the Shoufu Mansion, and she is highly regarded by the Shoufu wife and the Empress."
Zhou Shoufu's second daughter-in-law? Shen Xinyan naturally knew, and she knew even more that this Madam Tuesday had always been at odds with Zhou Wanning's mother Wen, but it was not surprising that she was married to the "eldest son" of the first wife's wife, so she should be called the first lady in theory, but she was the first. The "eldest man" of the auxiliary mansion was a man who crawled out of the concubine's belly, and the wife he married was also a prostitute.
The most terrible thing is that the Wen family, who was born in a concubine, was born to be charming and charming, as beautiful as a peach and plum, and made all the ladies in the house a vulgar fan. For Mrs. Tuesday, who came from a negative appearance, this is like stabbing a knife in her heart.
Shen Xinyan even thought that the second lady's name of "virtuousness" was spread so loudly. Could it be that she also deliberately competed with Wen's for "beautiful name"? After all, de Rong speaks merit, and virtue always comes before Rong.
"The county master, Mrs. Shizi." The ladies who were surrounding Mrs. Tuesday saw their aunt and sister-in-law coming together, and greeted them quickly.
"The relationship between the princess and the prince's wife is really good. Could it be another pair of sisters-in-law like the empress and Mrs. Tuesday." Mrs. You said with a smile.
There was a hint of lust on Mrs. Tuesday's face. The support of the Empress was her biggest reliance in the Zhou Mansion. No matter what, she couldn't climb over her head.
Wei Qiongshu did not dare to compare to the Empress, so she hurriedly said politely: "Madam is joking, who in the capital does not know that the Empress and Mrs. Tuesday are still as close as sisters in the boudoir, and this has become a sister-in-law... Oh, they are really real sisters. That's all it is!"
"The county master's mouth is really good." Although Mrs. Tuesday said so, but the smile on her face was hidden from everyone, Wei Qiongshu naturally knew that what she said meant her heart.
"In the past, it was rare to see Mrs. Shizi, but today I finally did." I was satisfied with Wei Qiongshu's intentional or unintentional ingratiating, even for the Shen Xinyan that she brought, Mrs. Tuesday was also a little kind.
"It's up to me to say this, it's rare to see Madam once." Shen Xinyan replied with a smile.
Everyone came and I complimented each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.
"Please forgive me for a moment." After a while, Mrs. Tuesday said politely.
Everyone heard the song and knew the elegance. Wei Qiongshu hurriedly called the maid and led Mrs. Tuesday to the backyard.
But she said that when Mrs. Tuesday came out of the clean room, her personal maid had already handed over the clean handkerchief and waited on her to clean her hands.
"Let's bid farewell to the county lord and return to the mansion later. It's a complete courtesy to come here and there."
The maid nodded: "Yes."
The maid who led the way saw their master and servant come out, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Madam, please come with the servant."
On the way back to the flower hall, there were many strange flowers and plants, and ingenious mountains and stones. Madam Tuesday couldn’t help thinking: Everyone said that the garden of the Prince Kang’s mansion is a must in Beijing. If you let her see, this Duke Wei The gardens of the government are not inferior at all.
"Who is the girl beside the princess? How could she be so proud of her!"
"It is said that she is the sister of the eldest sister-in-law of the county master's family. I think she came to congratulate the county master on her behalf."
Suddenly, a voice came through the branches of flowers and trees. Mrs. Tuesday paused, frowning slightly. She wanted to speed up her steps to leave, but stopped when she heard what the other party said next.
"So that's the case. I remembered it when you said it like that. I thought I had seen her at the Hundred Flowers Banquet last time. She was the prettiest girl in the room. I still remember the first lady of the first year. When I saw that girl's eyes, tsk tsk, it suddenly lit up..."
"You actually went to the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"
"I went to help the workers temporarily, but unfortunately, I was kicked out by some dog-eyed people who looked down on me before I stayed there for a long time. Forget it, I have seen the world after all. Oh, yes, Mrs. Shoufu is not. Is there a young master who hasn't married yet? Could it be that he has a crush on this girl and intends to forge this marriage?"
"This girl has a good appearance, and she is a relative of the county master. She must not be of low background. She is a good match for the assistant son. She looks like a talented woman."
"Look at what you said..."
...
The voices of the two women got farther and farther, until they were completely inaudible at the end. The maid who led the way was so frightened that her face turned pale when she heard the mention of "Shoufu" in the other's words.
Where the hell did these two get in? It doesn't look like a servant in the manor, nor a guest. Damn it, it's just nonsense, but it is still for the distinguished guests to hear!
While scolding inwardly, she secretly looked at Mrs. Tuesday's face, and seeing that pretty face was already flushed with anger, she secretly cried out.
"The right family? A daughter from a broken family dares to say that she is the right family with the first assistant son?!" Mrs. Tuesday sneered.
Those two people didn't know Fang Birong's identity, but she was very clear about it. Such a daughter from a run-down family would dare to think of their first auxiliary mansion!
"The county master is soft-hearted. Those who dare to criticize the distinguished guests behind their backs, if they were in the Shoufu Palace, they would have been beaten and sent out!" She glanced at the maid and said coldly.
"Madam, please forgive me, the slave girl will definitely report this to the county master, and she will definitely give her an explanation!" The maid hurriedly knelt down and apologized.
Mrs. Tuesday held her own identity, so naturally she wouldn't talk much with her servants, she just left such a sentence, and walked away without looking back with her personal maid.
The maid frowned, looking at the pair of master and servant turning back on the way they came, and making sure that they did not go the wrong way, she sighed and walked quickly along the path, hoping that the matter could be resolved before the lady returned on Tuesday. Report to the county lord.
When confronted with Bi Rong, Mrs. Tuesday frowned and said "bad luck".
Really, the more you hate something, the more it comes. Just now heard two stupid women talking about the 'prettier' girl Fang, and now it's better, and meet the righteous master directly.
She had to wonder if all this was arranged by the Princess Qiongshu? The purpose is to be able to use this girl Fang to get on the Shoufu Mansion.
When she thought of this possibility, she felt disgusted for no reason, and the other party Bi Rong became more and more disdainful, especially seeing her slender and graceful posture like a weak Liu Fufeng, which was a bit like the Wen of the Changfang, and the disgust in her heart reappeared. add.
"Mrs. Zhou!" Fang Birong naturally saw her, and hurriedly greeted her.
"The girl has good eyesight." Mrs. Tuesday sneered in her heart.
She came late, and Wei Qiongshu didn't have time to bring Fang Birong to her. Theoretically, Fang Birong, a girl who came to Beijing for the first time, could not recognize her, but the other party called her accurately.
How could it be so clear if it wasn't for the Shoufu Mansion early in the morning!
Wanting to understand this level, Fang Birong in front of her, in her heart, was completely equated with a 'shameless woman who wants to cling to the Shoufu Mansion'. Of course, she would never do anything good to such a woman. complexion.
Seeing the disgust on her face, Fang Birong felt a sudden shock, wondering why the other party showed such an expression to her.
"Girls should also think about their own identity, don't think that you can cling to the nobles by relying on a little beauty. A pheasant is a pheasant, and even if it flies on the branches, it can't become a phoenix. The son of the first son of the first auxiliary mansion, no matter how downgraded it is,I won't marry such an ignorant thing!" After speaking, she gave Fang Birong another look of contempt, and then she walked away with the maid.
Fang Birong's face turned blue, red and white, which was truly wonderful.
Looking at Mrs. Tuesday, who even showed a bit of arrogance in her back, she clenched her hands tightly, and her eyes were full of hatred.
"That lady is too much! After all, Miss Fang is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she said it so unbearably!" Until the surroundings fell into silence again, Chunliu, who was behind the rockery, whispered.
Shen Xinyan took it seriously, and felt a little sympathy for Fang Birong, who was humiliated for no reason.
As for Mrs Tuesday...
Such a woman whose eyes are higher than her eyes is dust-free, no wonder she was crushed by Wen's and had no chance to turn over.
