Chapter 127: The enemy of the enemy(1/2)
Just this half sentence, there is no need to write the rest, everyone who understands will understand it.
After finishing writing, Zheng Yinxi blew the ink on her head and turned to hand it to the maid, "Since we are so destined, can you help me?"
As he spoke, he took off the hairpin on his hand and said, "You see, sister is a kind-hearted person."
The maid took it with both hands and said nonchalantly, "What's the problem? Don't worry, girl. The husband in your heart will definitely be what you want."
Zheng Yinxi was very excited when she heard this. What is this called? The enemy of the enemy is the friend of the friend. It was such a coincidence that she met someone who had a grudge against the two girls from the Qiao family.
Maybe they had treated their maid harshly before, so they responded so readily.
There is a saying that you can't offend a villain if you offend anyone. Guhe County Lord? She probably didn't expect that she would fall into the hands of a maid.
Zheng Yinxi wanted to hum a little tune at this moment.
The maid didn't seem to dare to delay, and trotted out. She just turned to the right after exiting the courtyard, and there was Grandma Jin standing there.
The maid hurriedly handed over the things, "Mom knows things like a god, that girl is really stupid."
She believed what she was making up, and she flew up to the branch. No real master would let a maid enter. If there is a chance to get ahead, most of the time, the lady takes a fancy to her and is chosen to warm the young master's bed.
If the young master chose it by himself, then the lady in charge would have hundreds of ways to waste people.
Ridiculously naive!
Aunt Jin put the things away neatly and then gave some instructions to the maid.
The maid nodded, bent down and went out again.
Zheng Yinxi was still waiting there. When she saw the maid coming, she looked anxiously waiting for the news.
However, the maid smiled brightly and did not say anything about the result, "Miss, have you changed your clothes? I want you to see something." She deliberately behaved.
Zheng Yinxi stood up suspiciously and followed the maid for a few steps. She happened to see Shen Qiuhe standing in the pavilion for a while and then leaving.
She obviously didn't say anything, and even Shen Qiuhe didn't notice Zheng Yinxi, but Zheng Yinxi said a thousand words in her heart.
She blushed slightly, thinking that it was probably in the Duke's Mansion, next to the Duke's wife, that Shen Qiuhe acted so coldly. Sure enough, this man was very bad.
Originally, this courtyard was close to the men's side, and Zheng Yinxi originally planned to let Zheng Yinxi watch Shen Qiuhe from a high place, but because of Qiao's old intention, Shen Qiuhe was brought here, so the matter was saved.
Zheng Yinxi covered her mouth and smiled, and she would not ask the maid whether she had sent it or not.
After delaying for a while, Zheng Yinxi naturally wanted to return to the table when the time was almost up.
After sending the person out, the maid naturally had to explain that she was just a third-class girl and could not sit at the table, so she left early.
Zheng Yinxi didn't think much, nodded and left first.
When they arrived in the hall, the table had already dispersed and the ladies were chatting. Zheng Yinxi went in with her head lowered and sat in front of Mrs. Zheng without saying a word.
After a while, Qiao Wenzhi and Feng Zhaoping also came. Seeing that it was almost time, the Feng family asked to leave.
"Sister-in-law, please help me take care of the Duke's wife first, and I'll send her to you." Originally, He wanted to take this opportunity to leave, but Gu said so and could only sit there for a while.
After leaving the yard, Mrs. Gu asked someone to carry the return gift to the Feng family's carriage, and then said, "I hope Madam will be more considerate of my lack of hospitality."
"You're too polite." Mrs. Feng waved her hand quickly.
The two families parted happily.
Since this was the first time they met, Feng Zhaoan didn't shy away and got into a carriage directly. He couldn't wait to ask his parents what it was like to come to the Hou Mansion.
This was the first time that Father Feng saw his son not caring about etiquette so much. He glared at Feng Zhaoan helplessly, "You are a court official now, not a child anymore. What would you say if your colleagues saw you?"
Feng Zhaoan quickly clasped his fists, "Father said yes, I will definitely pay attention next time."
Feng Zhaoping covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm really looking forward to my sister-in-law getting started now." In this way, you can probably see your brother being disciplined often.
In the past, Feng Zhaoan often talked about rules and took care of himself. This feng shui is taking turns!
Father Feng flicked Feng Zhaoping's forehead and said, "Watch your mouth!" Calling someone sister-in-law at this time, isn't this taking advantage of the girl's family?
After saying that, he looked at Feng Zhaoan again, "To tell you the truth, when I received your letter saying that you wanted to marry a girl from a high-ranking official's family in the capital, your mother and I were so frightened that we couldn't sleep for two days and two nights, for fear that you might marry someone else's family.
."
But today, it seems that the Hou Mansion knows etiquette and does not put on a condescending air, which means that he is interested in Feng Zhaoan.
It made him feel his heart in his stomach.
He raised his hand and patted Feng Zhaoan on the shoulder, "I usually walk around with the No. 1 Scholar a lot. His conversation and remarks are really extraordinary."
Although Feng Zhaoan also did well in the exam, there is still a gap between him and the number one scholar.
When they were in the city, Feng Zhaoan attracted the attention of thousands of people, and Feng's father also felt that his son must be a promising person, but people were afraid of comparisons, and the difference was obvious once they were compared.
In the past, they would mostly discuss people with backgrounds and playboys. But now it seems that it is all prejudice. Look at how the number one scholar was born. It is obvious that he can live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth by relying on the blessing of his ancestors without doing anything, but he still works so hard.
Moreover, not only one of the children has a promising future, but the fourth son of the family has also enrolled in Taixue.
"My father can't speak either. Anyway, in my father's opinion, this is a decent family." All things are inferior, but reading is the best. In Father Feng's heart, reading means knowledge and extraordinaryness.
After Father Feng finished speaking, Feng Zhaoping spoke anxiously next to her, "Also, Sister Wen Zhi is really gentle. She talks softly and is attentive and caring. I have never seen her in our city.
No one can compare with Sister Wenzhi."
Feng Zhaoping was scolded by Feng's father, and now she knew how to change her words, so she called her sister directly.
Feng Zhaoan chuckled, "You are the only one who is smart."
Several people were very satisfied with the Hou Mansion. Only Feng's mother frowned, "Miss Qiao Er is indeed good, but..." Feng's mother sighed, "It's just that I see that everyone in the family is awesome, but you haven't seen the banquet.
Yes, each one is better than the other."
Even Feng's mother felt that it was useless to have such ears. What you heard might not be what others meant.
After every word she said, she was guessing the meaning. She had to make several twists and turns before she knew which words were good and which were bad. One meal would be exhausting.
Father Feng snorted, "Why are they playing tricks on you?"
"That's not true." Feng's mother shook her head gently, and she even felt that they were defending her in their words.
"That's alright, what does the fights between others have to do with you? Ask your son if the conversations between colleagues are like typing puzzles, but you can't say that officials who talk in a roundabout way are not good officials.
"Father Feng shook his head in disapproval. He couldn't see that far. He didn't know what the grudges were. He only knew that everyone in the Hou family respected the Feng family, and that was enough.
Even if Feng's father said this, Feng's mother's brows did not relax, "But didn't you see that when the ceremony was held, the direct children of the family just said hello in a cursory manner. Only the second girl looked lower than him at a glance. She was a concubine after all.
Even a girl doesn’t know what her biological mother is like.”
Qiao Wenzhi is naturally pretty good just by looking at her, but I'm afraid that in comparison, if she were placed next to someone else's legitimate child, she would naturally be half shorter.
Mother Feng always felt uncomfortable watching that scene.
Father Feng snorted angrily, "You have revealed your identity. Will a royal princess marry if she has a noble status?"
Even if you want to get married, she is still the top candidate in marriage. Will you look at a third-rate girl with no background?
Even if they fall in love, are they lucky enough to have a princess daughter-in-law? If they say they are married, do you dare to treat yourself as the parents of the princess? Don't you hold it carefully and provide it like an ancestor?
From his point of view, the concubine of the Hou Mansion also got married!
"I just said one sentence, why did you continue to finish the sentence?" Feng's mother glared at Feng's father angrily, and she felt aggrieved in her heart. She was just telling the truth, and everyone in the family didn't pick on it.
Reason, why are you so serious?
Feng Zhao'an originally got into the carriage with great joy, but his face turned a little ugly when Feng's mother said this, and then he lowered his head and said, "Mother, Miss Qiao Er is my son's beloved, and he asked for her."
At first, it was he who knelt in front of Qiao Wenqing and Qiao Guxin and asked for help.
After saying that, he slowly raised his head and said, "Miss Qiao Er has a beautiful mind and sincere attitude toward others. If we really want to talk about her birth, she was a girl from the Hou Mansion who grew up in fine clothes and fine food. She is quite talented and knowledgeable. Her biological mother is the daughter of the county magistrate.
And he is favored by his mistress, so even if he doesn’t marry his son, he still won’t be a bad candidate for marrying her.”
Internally, they are in love with each other, and externally, Qiao Wenzhi also has an identity.
As for the comparison with the direct descendants, one is the number one scholar and the other is the county head. It is not something that ordinary people can compare with.
Feng Zhao'an spoke seriously, and he saw a stalemate here. Feng Zhaoping immediately took Feng's mother's arm and said, "Mom, my daughter heard an interesting story before."
It is said that at the flower viewing banquet, a son pulled his mother to look at the female relatives and said that there was a girl he had liked for a long time and asked his mother to guess which girl it was.
The mother glanced at it and pointed her finger casually. The son was shocked at that time. There is no one who knows more about his son than his mother. He guessed right.
At that time, my mother sneered and said only one thing, because I saw that she was the only one who annoyed me the most.
After hearing this, Feng's mother immediately laughed. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been natural enemies since ancient times. It was probably a rule left by their ancestors. She nodded Feng Zhaoping's forehead and said, "Okay, I am the only one who can be picky about feelings."
the wicked?"
Then he said to Feng Zhaoan, "The marriage is finalized. Tomorrow I will ask your aunt to see what the etiquette should be. We all have to go. It's best to wait for Miss Qiao to get hairpins."
After that, your marriage can be done."
Seeing Feng's mother relent, Feng Zhaoan immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
Mother Feng snorted coldly, "Okay, I just said a few words casually, how can I make you so nervous!"
Tomb's words were nice now, but seeing that everyone liked Qiao Wenzhi, she nodded. In fact, in her heart, she still felt that Qiao Wenzhi was not that good, and was just an average person.
We can only wait until they get married and the two of them have more contact.
Now that Feng's mother had spoken, Feng's father also said next to her, "There is no need to hire so many servants at home. We will add girls and boys when you get married. Recently, we have saved some money and bought more for the house."
