Chapter 202: The Earl's Court Banquet 1 (Note)
I thought the second wife would be grateful, but I didn't expect Liu's mother to come back with the fabric.
At that time, I met the third girl. The third girl said she wanted to accompany the second wife in the mansion. Thank you for your kindness and the fabric was not available, so I asked the wife to bring it back together. Liu's mother replied.
Kong sneered, "Soon is ambitious, she would have the best intentions to be so ambitious for the rest of her life and never get to me."
He waved his hand and asked his mother Liu to put away the fabric, so he didn't know what to lift.
Liu's mother helped explain that the second wife has been respecting her over the years. The third girl is young and I didn't see her when I first passed by. This is also the decision made by the third girl.
The young ones didn’t learn well, the older ones didn’t teach well, so you don’t have to explain for her. After all, they were from small families. What did the sacred family know? I won’t care about something that was born to a sacred family. Kong said nothing, but every word he said was hard to hear. Liu’s mother knew that his wife was holding a grudge against others.
On the second room, Ruan Shi heard the nanny beside her talk about this. She looked at her daughter who was lowering her head and playing with a veil in her hand in disagreement, and finally said nothing.
My son left halfway through the Spring Examination. My daughter was angry. She could not force her daughter to bow her head anymore. If she was like her son again, she would not have to live.
Xie Yuanniang heard about this, but she could understand Sister Yu's behavior. She didn't have such a personality and would never have done anything to kill people in her previous life.
Xie Wenhui was worried after hearing this. After thinking about it, she went to the second room and first asked about Ruan's condition. When Sister Yu sent her out, she pulled Sister Yu to speak.
Are you holding a grudge against your aunt in your heart?
Sister, I don't.
I watched you grow up. Are you going to get along with my elder sister now? What Xie Wenhuisi and Xie Yuanniang said, I finally don’t want to be alienated between the two rooms. My mother has always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. The two rooms in the Xie Mansion broke their bones and were connected to each other. No matter when it was a family, we were the ones closest to us. I have heard some of the matters about my elder brother. It has happened now and it cannot be changed. My elder sister is here to apologize to you. Don’t hold a grudge against your aunt.
Sister Yu shook her head, Big sister, I'm really not angry. It's not because of my eldest aunt's fault. My eldest brother wanted to like Wu but not Wen, but because of his father and mother, he didn't say it out loud. Now that he left, it's just a reason why he could speak for granted. How could he blame my eldest aunt?
Xie Wenhui held her hand. I know that Sister Yu understands the truth the most, and thank you for thinking this way. The eldest sister remembers it in her heart.
Sister Yu's face turned slightly red, she sent the person to the small garden, watched the person pass through the corner gate, and then turned around and went back.
Xie Wenhui went to Jing'anju again and mentioned the fact that she had just returned from the second house. She couldn't help but persuade her that her father and her second uncle were brothers, and she wanted to fight tigers. Even if her mother couldn't stand her, she shouldn't hurt her face too much. Not to mention her, she wouldn't let her father feel cold.
The last sentence blocked Kong's words to refute. She didn't care about what was next to her, but cared about her husband's attitude. I know this.
Xie Wenhui was already very happy that her mother would not get angry, and she was tactful and didn't say much, for fear that her mother would get angry, but instead she would get the consequences.
After hearing what Sister Yu was not going to go to in the evening, Xie’s father came back and heard about it, he didn’t say anything.
Life passed quickly, and it was the tenth day of April. On the birthday of the old Lord, the entire street in front of the Earl's Mansion was lined up to the intersection early in the morning.
The Xie family is not from a high family and can only be lined up with their low status. Even the female family members are welcomed into the corner gate. Xie Yuanniang and sisters follow Kong's side. Although they are dressed brilliantly and have a charming style, among such a group of people, they always look out for the crowd.
Xie Yuanniang didn't care and was calm. Xie Wenhui also felt that the situation in front of her was temporary, and she was worried and even had the confidence to change such a pattern. Only Kong's face was tense, and she smiled until she was taken to the flower hall where the ladies sat.
In the past, when Kong attended banquets, he mostly sat with the princess and the princess of the county. Although Xie's father was just a minister with no power, he was at least a second-rank, unlike now he was only a fifth-rank chief. Being able to attend banquets was infinite glory for others, but he was embarrassed to Kong, but he could not refuse. She didn't understand why the Earl's Mansion gave him a post to the mansion.
Most of the people sitting in the flower hall were people with low status. Kong was not very familiar with these people on weekdays. After sitting down, he drank tea on his own and did not talk to those sitting left and right.
There are many girls like the Xie sisters. Some wives even brought five of them together. They looked like they were dressed up. However, they came from small families, had no background, and did not have any jewelry and dresses that could be used. Compared with the servants of the Earl's Mansion, they were even worse than those of the servants of the Earl's Mansion.
When this group of people gathered together, naturally there was no such manner as a noble family. They were as arrogant as the aunts and aunts on the street. They spoke one voice and the other. They were excited to be able to attend the Earl's Mansion banquet, and they wanted to lift up the roof.
Xie Yuanniang observed secretly and found it interesting.
She had never had contact with anyone after she got married in her previous life. This was the first time she saw her in this life. Naturally, she felt fresh and interesting. She felt that someone gently pulled her sleeves, and then something was added in her hand. When she looked up, she only saw the back of a little girl.
Xie Yuanniang kept silently and twisted the stuff stuffed into her hand under her sleeve. It was a note.
No one can do such a thing in the Earl's Mansion except Jiang Cai.
Xie Yuanniang was not in a hurry to see it, but in fact she never thought about seeing it.
With the origin of Xie's Mansion, she was not allowed to walk around in the Earl's Mansion.
Besides, there may not be anything good for Jiang Cai to find her.
She was calm. Xie Wenhui, who had been staring at Xie Yuanniang secretly since entering the Earl's Mansion, couldn't help but feel calm. She saw the little girl stuffing something into Xie Yuanniang's hand, and knew that something was wrong. After waiting for a while, she saw Xie Yuanniang still sitting safely, which made Xie Wenhui, who was guessing, became more and more uneasy.
After taking the tea twice, Madam Jiang from the Earl's Mansion appeared and politely made everyone politely. She asked the girls around her to take the young girl to the garden to play. The girls who were still a little restrained at first became lively again.
Xie Yuanniang didn't want to go, but Kong urged the two sisters to go there. The reason was that Mrs. Jiang just said that some young men from Jinling City had also come today, but there was no need to worry about the rules and etiquette, and everyone went to the garden together.
