Bai Yutang looked at Mrs. Li's two mothers and daughters so proud, and secretly laughed. As a famous and promising monarch in history, if Li Chen could be calculated so easily, it would be too sorry for later generations' evaluation of him.
How proud these two people are now, how miserable they will be when the plan fails. She is looking forward to seeing Mrs. Li's ugly face when the plan fails.
"Madam, madam, there is a banquet outside. The master asked me to invite you to come."
Li Ruyi's young man comes in to spread a message. Mrs. Li invites Bai Yutang to have a drink outside. When Bai Yutang and others come out, they see that shiziye and Guogong's wife have already sat down.
Mrs. Guogong and Mrs. Tai are very happy. Seeing Bai Yutang coming, Mrs. Guo shows a kind smile to her and beckons her to come: "I was talking about you just now. This meeting is coming. It seems that our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really have a heart to heart."
This sudden intimate tone makes Bai Yutang sound the alarm in her heart. She salutes quietly and looks around. She doesn't see Zheng Yu. When she hears the man's conversation outside, she knows that the reunion banquet for the new year should be divided into two parts.
Outside is a man, inside is a woman, only in the real new year's Eve, men and women will be at the same table.
Bai Yutang thought, fortunately, there is no such rule in the town government. Otherwise, the atmosphere of the new year will be gone.
Bai Yutang's intimate attitude towards Guogong's wife has always maintained an appropriate but not excessive lukewarm attitude. Guogong's wife is talking about Zheng Yu's concubine both openly and secretly. Bai Yutang just feels that he doesn't express any more. I'm really sorry for Guogong's wife's hard work.
"Madam Guogong, you know me. I'm not good-natured. I've been told one thing and two things. Shiziye once told me that he only likes me in his life. Now, he turns his head and leaves this oath behind. How can I not care?"
Bai Yutang said angrily.
Mrs. Li frowned and looked at Mrs. Guogong with a reproach. She said to Mrs. Guogong with a smile: "you say you are old, and your children and grandchildren have their own happiness. What do you do with this heart?"
Guogongfu didn't seem to understand the advice. He said to himself, "if I can, I don't want to take care of it. It's just that my son is not small now, but Huaiyu is the only heir. It really worries me that the number of people in guogongfu is not prosperous, so I have to plan for the future."
Bai Yutang only sneered at the fact that he put himself on the moral high ground.
Mrs. Li also thought of this and nodded in agreement. It's normal for her close friend to worry about this. Moreover, Zheng Yuru is not young this year, and she has only one child under her knees. Which one of the men of the same age in the capital is not the wife and concubine with a lot of children?
Just now, Mrs. Li thought that the white jade hall did not allow Zheng Yu to take concubines. Mrs. Li had a lot of doubts about this woman.
Bai Yutang is bowing her head to make a sad appearance. Mrs. Li shows her concern: "don't be too sad. A man with a little ability is not a concubine. It's very good that my son has only accepted a concubine until now.
As his wife, you should be content. As the saying goes, contentment is always happiness. You are too greedy. In the end, I'm afraid that your husband and wife will have many estrangements in vain. "
When talking about this topic, all these women spoke enthusiastically. Bai Yutang thought, if it's not your husband's concubine, of course you can talk here. This kind of thing really depends on your husband. I think which of you can accept it.
"Yes, the most important thing for a woman is to be virtuous and virtuous. If you stop your husband from taking concubines and reproducing children, you may be called a shrew. Although our town government is a first-class official, it can't stand such rumors. Yutang, you should be more sensible."
Bai Yutang was disgusted by his wife's words and almost couldn't eat.
All the delicacies on this table exude an attractive aroma. Bai Yutang thought, it's not worth it to influence his appetite for such a person. Why should he fail to live up to himself now? It's more important to enjoy food.
However, beautiful things should be enjoyed, but this superficial skill can not be left behind.
Bai Yutang painstakingly squeezed out a drop of tears and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief. There were more than ten people at the table, including Li Ruyi's mother and daughter, Guogong's wife and Mrs. Li Tai. In addition to these noble lineages, there were also many well-known girls.
In full view of the public, Bai Yutang was very sad, forced a smile and said, "it's Yutang who is impolite. Please don't blame him."
Mrs. Guo Gong's face was gradually gloomy, and the kind smile just now could hardly be maintained! It occurred to her that Bai Yutang would be so shameless that she would cry in front of the public, regardless of any elegance.
"It's not your fault, but today is the new year. It's always unlucky for you. It's all about your husband and wife. They fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Come on. If you don't eat this dish, it will be cold. What are you waiting for? Move your chopsticks quickly. "
Li Ruyi's smiling eyes and eyebrows curved. She gracefully put a piece of cherry meat in Mrs. Li's hands. Tiantian said with a smile, "grandma, try this cherry meat. It's the new chef's specialty. It's delicious."Mrs. Li's face became more and more clear. She said with a happy face: "you are still a sensible girl."
The implication is that Bai Yutang is very ignorant.
Bai Yutang pretended that he didn't understand and tasted the cherry meat recommended by Li Ruyi with a smile: "this meat is really good, Ruyi, your cook is really not simple."
Because it's the new year, the atmosphere is just right, and no one mentions the rule of eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking. Li Ruyi has no scruples. She is quite proud of her words and says: "this cook, but the chef who is dug up from the immortal mansion, can be a chef in the immortal mansion, and his skill is not so bad."
Bai Yutang suddenly felt that the name of the immortal mansion sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"It's still our master's filial piety. I know you like cherry meat, so I specially invited a chef to come back." Mrs. Li looked envious and complimented her mother-in-law.
When Mrs. Li heard this, her old face couldn't help showing a little satisfaction: "I told him not to bother, but he just didn't listen to me. He just spent all his money and effort to please me. It's hard for my son to be filial to him."
Mrs. Guogong was a little sour when she heard this. Her nominal son was not her own son at all. Since the last time she revealed that she wanted Zheng Yu to marry the young lady of her mother's family, their relationship was getting worse and worse.
