Bai Tao doesn't pay attention to old lady Wei, but he can't ignore the face of county magistrate Wei. After all, in this era, people don't fight with officials, so even if Bai Tao is no longer dissatisfied with old lady Wei, he agrees that he will pass by then.
On that day, Bai Tao didn't dress up, just a little bit more respectable, but she took An'an and Yuru to dress up.
At the elegant door, many carriages have stopped. It seems that old lady Wei has indeed invited many ladies to go through the house.
Because the magistrate of Wei county was alone. Originally, there was only one servant girl, a woman cooking, and a doorman, but old lady Wei came. In addition, Mrs. Wei is going to entertain the ladies and girls in Linyu County, so there are not enough people in the house.
So she bought some servant girls and put on the uniform custom-made clothes of the old lady. The old lady doesn't like the fancy dress of those servant girls to hook up with her son.
So I only put on gray clothes and green trousers for them, and they were very strange.
White peach at a glance. I feel that old lady Wei
It's hard to say.
The maid who entertained the white peach sisters was pretty. When she saw the white peach sisters staring at her, her face turned red.
She lowered her head.
"Ladies, please come with me. The old lady is waiting in the backyard."
When Bai Tao went, some of the ladies had already arrived, but their faces were not good-looking, because old lady Wei was just a country woman.
What insight can she have?
At most, it's just pulling some familiar old ladies from the countryside to have tea and eat melon seeds.
So she made the party look like this. She only served the most common tea and a pile of melon seeds, which made the ladies who used to dress up their daughters black with anger.
But it can't happen yet.
Among them, Bai Tao is familiar with several wives and has the best relationship with Jiang family, a wealthy family in Linyu county. Mrs. Jiang is very lucky and has two sons and a daughter.
But her daughter was a little thin, and she didn't look like her at all, so she was pointed by Mrs. Wei and said whose skinny monkey it was. The lady was so angry that she almost fainted in tears.
When white peach passed. Mrs. Jiang is asking Mrs. Wei for leave, saying that there is something temporary at home. Please leave.
Mrs. Jiang has some friendship with Baitao. She usually has contacts with Baitao, but she just takes a look at Baitao and turns around.
That look in the eyes, white peach see straight shake head, only took her head, a little comfort, also did not retain.
Who can know that Xu is so out of tune.
"Really. What kind of family is this? The girl is like a thin monkey. She's so small that she's not a good one to raise. Is she a legitimate girl
Some people say that it's because of Miss Jiang's shortage in the womb, so we should take good care of her. Old lady Wei's eyes were round.
"Oh, I have to keep it. Which of these women is not the one who takes care of her husband and serves her mother-in-law? If I'm hired, I don't know if I want my son to serve her? "
The Jiang family may not have looked down on the magistrate of Shangwei county. The old lady really feels good about herself.
As soon as she had said this, the ladies knew that old lady Wei was not only ignorant. Impolite, but also heart than the sky, think that his son is the day on the Wenqu star.
Whose daughter is worthy of him?
Many ladies, who had some thoughts, also took a rest.
One after another with old lady Wei leave, no matter what old lady Wei think, immediately with daughter servant girls turned away.
No matter how good the magistrate of Wei county is, her daughter is not a grass. To serve such a ignorant mother-in-law, they would rather find a suitable one for her daughter. They know each other well.
At least the daughter doesn't have to be too angry with her mother-in-law after she gets married.
White peach heart to this old lady Wei is "admire" a little bit, people say that the wife diplomacy, this Wei county magistrate has no wife. Of course, it's his mother.
Who knows that this old lady Wei is such a temperament. I'm afraid that it's hard for the county magistrate to live in Linyu county.
Although it is said that the people do not fight with the officials, which of these rich merchant families that have occupied Linyu County for several generations is easy to provoke.
They're just businessmen. Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, that's the last class. But when you have money, if you want to cultivate scholars, don't you have a lot of good resources at home?
Let's just say that Mrs. Jiang, the elder brother of Mrs. Jiang's husband, was an official in the court. This official position is still of five grades.
Although it's not high, it's also a Beijing official. Naturally, it's much higher than the Qipin county magistrate like Wei county magistrate.
This old lady Wei is really ignorant and terrible. So if these people join hands, even if the magistrate of Wei county is honest and respected by the emperor, it will be bad luck.But old lady Wei didn't notice at all.
What she thought was very simple, that was when she was in the country. To get together and talk, it's not that there are things at home that need to go home.
It's a normal thing.
Only when all the people were gone and none of the melon seeds were eaten did Xu realize something was wrong.
"Do you think the wives of those rich families don't like the melon seeds I prepared for them? That's the best melon seed in this town. It cost me a lot of money! "
Xu said. It's like a sore face.
These newly bought servant girls don't understand the temper of the new master, so they try their best to flatter. After all, this is the real mother of the county master.
They are just bought little servant girls, of course, can't let the old lady down.
One of them said, "I'm afraid it's just a bad day for the ladies."
When the magistrate of Wei county came back that day, he asked his mother, how did it feel to have a banquet with you ladies today?
Mrs. Wei was not very happy. She said in a dignified voice: "those rich people are really impolite. They left one after another without saying a word, saying that there is something at home. Blind my melon seeds. Keep it all. I eat melon seeds every day. I didn't dare to think of such a day before. "
This melon seed belongs to the snack during the festival, which is naturally precious in the countryside.
In the countryside, besides meat, there are some necessary things that will cost money. No one else will buy them with money.
So the melon seeds bought with silver are of course expensive.
Xu didn't think he was being ungrateful to others. On the contrary, he thought he had spent money, but no one appreciated him.
When all the others were gone, the old lady knocked on melon seeds by herself, and finally recovered a little, just like she didn't want to sit with her when she didn't like to see anyone.
I wish I had left immediately.
But those people clearly look happy.
The old lady didn't know that those ladies naturally wanted to see the magistrate's face, but there was no lack of jokes and disdain for her.
