Chapter 569, tearing your face in public (two in one chapter)
On the second day after attending the Guo family banquet, Mrs. Li received the invitation from the Jiang family.
Ina Hua looked at the address on the invitation, her eyebrows jumped high.
Guo’s Mansion was located on the street in front of Xiao Yeyang’s mansion, while Jiang’s Mansion was on the back street. The two houses one after the other surrounded Xiao Yeyang.
Thinking of this, Daohua felt a little irritable.
Anyone who knows his or her will be remembered by others, probably will feel uncomfortable.
With this thought, Daohua's heart was shocked.
own person
It turned out that in the bottom of her heart, Xiao Yeyang was already her own?
Stunned, Daohua forgot to be in Mrs. Li's room at the moment, and tossed the invitation in her hand, and threw it directly to the ground without controlling her strength.
Seeing Mrs. Li, she frowned, "What are you doing?"
Daohua returned to her senses, and quickly got up and picked up the invitation, and put it next to Mrs. Li: "Mother, my daughter just doesn't want to go to Jiang's banquet."
Mrs. Li didn't give Daohua a good face this time, and said with blame: "You just don't want to be in your heart, and you shouldn't show it. Let people know what you are thinking at a glance. Wouldn't it be stubborn to be pinched? of?"
said, his face straightened.
"Since that's all for today, my mother has something to ask you."
"Before you didn't like to attend banquets. Many times your mother left you alone, but now that you are older, you can't let your own temperament come."
"Every family can't avoid things like gatherings and banquets. When you marry someone in the future and take charge of Zhongkui, you will have more contact. Don't underestimate the gatherings between women. This is to maintain the relationship with other families. This is an important method and an important channel for inquiring about news from various governments."
"We live in an inner house, and there are not many channels to understand the outside world. A lot of the news is heard or inquired at parties and banquets. Therefore, you must learn to walk with ease in banquets on various occasions. ."
Daohua was silent, stirring the veil in her hand, and muttered: "Mother, my daughter knows."
Ms. Li touched her daughter’s head: “The arrival of the Jiang family and the Guo family is actually quite good in my mother’s eyes. It is just this that you can see how the noble lady in Beijing behaves socially.”
Speaking, picked up the invitation from the Jiang family.
"The Jiang family held a banquet on April 25th. This time is quite in time. It seems that the relationship between the Guo family and the Jiang family is more tense than our image."
Hearing this, Daohua's face was surprised: "Mother, how do you see this?"
Mrs. Li smiled: "As soon as Mrs. Guo's mother and daughter's front feet arrived, Mrs. Jiang's mother and daughter moved here. In this case, either the two families have a good relationship or the two are competing. Through what happened at the banquet yesterday What do you think is the situation?"
"Since it is a competition, it must not be lost to the other party. One party entertains the parties, and the other party will naturally not fall. The two parties’ banquet time being so close obviously means fighting, look, Jiang The family banquet will definitely be even bigger than the Guo family's, so as to overwhelm the Guo family's limelight."
Daohua shook her head in disapproval: "The days are yours, why bother to show it to others."
Ms. Li sighed with a light smile: "You are still young. I don't know that many things are involuntary, and some things must be disputed."
"The Guo family and the Jiang family are both prominent and nobles in the capital. The contest between Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Jiang is no longer their own business, but is also related to the two families behind them."
Daohua became silent, and finally uttered two words: "Really tired."
Ms. Li smiled and said, “Isn’t it? The daughter-in-law of a distinguished family is not so good, of course, not everyone can take the post.”
Hearing this, the silk handkerchief in Inoka's hand was stirred even more severely.
Indeed, as Mrs. Li said, the Jiang’s banquet on April 25 was extremely grand. Not only did the provincial government’s most prestigious double happiness banquet performer, the dishes on the banquet were also top-notch. Everyone marveled in their hearts for the rich financial resources of the Jiang family.
In addition to these, what surprised everyone the most was that the Queen Mother sent to take care of Xiao Yeyang, Madam Jia, appeared at the banquet.
As soon as this mother came here, she attracted everyone's attention.
Daohana also took a closer look. The grandmother Jia looks in her forties, her hair is meticulously combed, her dress is neat and tidy without a trace of folds, and her behavior is not humble or arrogant, which makes people compliment her for her good manners.
The old man next to the Queen Mother, the lady present didn’t dare to treat him as a waiting slave, even Mrs. Guo, who was reluctant to attend the banquet, had to give him a bit of face.
"I heard that the nurses in the palace are strict. The rules and etiquette of princesses and princesses are all taught by them. If they are not in compliance, they will directly play the board."
"So fierce?"
"Isn't it, the little prince is really miserable, this time there are two more guardians."
Madam Jia didn’t stay long when she came over. She joked with Madam Jiang and Madam Guo, and then said goodbye: "There are many places in the mansion of the little prince that are not in compliance with the rules. Lord, these things must be corrected one by one."
Madam Jiang took the conversation with a smile, and sighed: "Who would say no? Yeyang, this child lives alone and has no one to take care of his daily life. He is really not very particular about life. Fortunately, now that the mother is here, we can rest assured. NS."
Grandma Jia said very modestly: "The old slave will try to do what the queen mother confessed."
Ms. Jiang asked again: "By the way, Grandma, hasn't Yeyang come back yet?"
Grandma Jia shook her head: "We have been here for a long time, but this time we haven't seen the little prince."
Hearing this, Madam Jiang suddenly looked at Madam Li and said with a smile: "I heard that Madam’s son and nephew have been following Yeyang all the time. I wonder if they will go home during this time?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at herself, Madam Li glanced at Madam Jiang and said with a smile: "I haven't been back for a few days, saying that I went to the military camp with the little prince to practice."
Grandma Jia, who was going to leave, suddenly intervened: “The old slave heard that the little prince and the Yan master have walked very close these years?”
Listening to this inquiry full of inquiry and Madam Jia’s scrutiny gaze, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but she quickly laughed: "When some of my children were in Wangyue Academy. I'm a classmate with the little prince."
Madam Jia sent her away when she saw Mrs. Li, she felt a little unhappy, thought about it, and said: "I don’t know if the girl from the Yan family has come, and let the old slave see her."
Of these officials from the bottom, they are most likely to delve into things like selling women and begging for glory.
As soon as the words came out, the smile on Mrs. Li's face almost couldn't keep up. The grandma Jia first said that the little prince was close to their home, and now she called for the girl to see their home. What does this mean?
Sweeping the lady's veiled gaze, Mrs. Li suppressed the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to say something, she saw her daughter standing next to her.
"The eldest daughter of the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, I have met Grandma Jia!"
Taohua took two steps forward, saluted gracefully, and then raised a smile: "I don't know what Madam Jia wants to see the little girl?"
Seeing Daohua, Madam Jia has no stage fright, and she is not afraid to look at her. There is no trace of awe between her eyebrows. She has always claimed that she is an old man in the Queen’s Palace and feels offended. Xilai, looked at Daohua unscrupulously for a while, and gave a faint comment: "It's really good color."
In the palace, even the prince and princess can kindly call "Mother Jia" when they see her. The fourth-rank official girl in front of her dared not put her in her eyes, so she had to teach her How to behave.
Mrs. Li's face sank as soon as Madam Jia's words came out.
No one would comment on a girl who has not come out of the pavilion for ‘good color’, as if she was saying that her daughter would serve people with Israel. This momma Jia is simply deceiving people too much.
Just when Mrs. Li wanted to stand up and fight with reason, Daohua spoke first again: “I have long heard that the grandmothers in the palace are well-mannered and well-mannered. Grandma Jia is really good.”
Looking at Daohua, who was smiling and returning to Madam Jia Jia, the lady present couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Guo Xueming and Jiang Wanying also looked at Daohua together, with obvious surprises and surprises in their eyes.
The Yan family eldest girl has openly confronted the grandmother in the Queen Mother's Palace. She is so courageous!
Daohua ignored everyone's reaction, and did not even look at the shocked Madam Jia. Instead, she turned her head and smiled at Madam Jiang and Madam Guo.
"The little girl has never been to the capital, and she is puzzled about one thing. I want to ask the two ladies to clarify."
Ms. Jiang frowned slightly and did not answer.
Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "What is your doubt? Come and listen, if I don't know, there is also Mrs. Jiang." The enemy's enemy is a friend, not to mention that the Yan family has helped the master, and she is also happy to give it to Yan. The eldest girl makes a relief.
Daohua smiled and said, "Are the people in the capital so boastful? I heard that there are so many noble ladies in the capital, and they all look extraordinary. Compared with them, like me, they are simply beyond the reach."
"Mother Jia just now called me the posture of the willow a "good color". Then, are the ladies in the capital even more "good color"?"
Looking at Daohua’s curiosity in her eyes, Mrs. Guo was a little speechless for a while. How did she answer this?
In public, saying that the girl has a good color is not a compliment. There is even a certain amount of malice in it.
Mrs. Jiang and Madam Jia next to them heard Daohua say so, they were both accidental and angry.
Grandma Jia Jia was stunned for a while, before she denied: "When did the old slave say that the ladies in the capital are ‘good colors’?" She is not arrogant enough to openly arrange the ladies in the capital.
Daohua looked at Grandma Jia without a smile: "Why, I misunderstood what Grandma meant? But you even praised me, so why would you be stingy and praise the ladies in the capital? Nothing else. Those who can go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, don't you give me a compliment?"
Grandma Jia looked unexpectedly and anxiously at Daohua who directly confronted her without fear. She is a person in the Queen Mother Palace. Isn’t she afraid of offending her?
She didn’t speak, but Daohua did continue to speak: "Grandma Jia, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you may not know who my father is, so listen now."
"My father is the prefect of Ningmen Mansion personally appointed by the present-day sage. It may not be as good as the high-ranking officials you usually see in the palace in your eyes. But since he became an official, he has been dedicated to serving the emperor. , Even if it is a fourth-rank official, that is also the imperial commander appointed by the emperor."
said, patted his chest.
"I am the eldest daughter of the prefect of Ningmen Mansion. I saw Madam Jia for the first time today. I don't know where I offended you and want you to be so humiliated."
Listening to Daohua’s straightforward questioning, Madam Jia went silly.
In the capital city, even if the ladies of every family were wronged, they would endure it in silence. Even if they couldn’t swallow it, they would at most just stab them back with a tactful and vague sentence. How could there be someone like the Yan family girl in front of her, who would tear it apart in public. Shameless?
blatantly humiliated the daughter of the imperial court commander, and there was no impropriety before. If this matter broke out, even if she was from the dowager palace, she would have to be punished.
Grandma Jia suddenly felt a little difficult to ride a tiger, and glanced at Mrs. Jiang.
Ms. Jiang was also a little dazed. After receiving Madam Jia’s request for help, she was thinking about how to complete the game. At this time, a maid hurried over.
When Mrs. Jiang saw it, she immediately asked, wanting to use this to turn things off: "But what's the matter?"
The maid who came was bought by Mrs. Jiang after she moved to Ningmen Mansion. She came to pass the message for the first time. Seeing Mrs. Jiang’s question, she didn’t think too much. She immediately replied:
"Mrs. Yan, Zhifu Yan brought the two sons of the Yan family to visit the master. Just when he passed the garden, he heard the movement here. The master learned that someone ran into Miss Yan and wanted you to take someone over to make him reconcile with Yan. The adults will ask what happened together."
Hearing the answer, Mrs. Jiang was taken aback. Why are the masters and Master Yan here?
And where did this maid come from? I can’t even reply. Is it necessary for her to send Madam Jia to the front yard for questioning?
At this time, Mr. Jiang noticed that the maid who was answering the conversation was facing him, and his heart suddenly became very regretful.
I moved in in a hurry and there was not enough manpower, so I bought a new maid, otherwise, such a mistake would never happen.
Compared to Mrs. Jiang’s anger, Mrs. Guo immediately caught the point: "Young Master Yan, but Young Master Yan and Son Fourth?"
The maid nodded: "It is the two sons."
Hearing this, Madam Li and Daohua looked happy, while Madam Guo suddenly got up and asked eagerly: "Young Master Yan is back, is Yeyang also back?"
The maid's face was dazed, and she shook her head: "This slave-maid doesn't know."
Ms. Jiang had already recovered, and waved to the girl who was replying, "Go down." Thinking of the friendship between Yeyang and the Yan family brothers, she couldn't help but glance at Madam Jia, giving her a calm look.
Madam Jia didn’t want to stay here anymore when she heard Madam Guo said that Xiao Yeyang might come back. Seeing the look in Madam Jiang’s eyes, although she was very reluctant in her heart, she had been living in the palace for many years. Having gained the ability to bend and stretch, he immediately walked to Daohua and gave a blessing.
"It's the old slave who said the wrong thing. Please also ask Miss Yan to not blame it."
Daohua looked at Madam Jia who was squatting, and stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Madam, what is the sharpest weapon in the world?"
Grandma Jia raised her head in amazement, her eyes were angry, she had already apologized in public, and the girl from the Yan family was still chasing after her, and she didn’t know what was wrong.
No matter what she continued, Daohua said, "It's a human mouth. As soon as your mouth opens and closes, I have the reputation of'good color'. Now you say something lightly, you made a mistake, and you want to expose the matter. , I can forgive you, but can you guarantee that others will not spread it indiscriminately?"
