At the gate of Dongdacang, Tang Mei shouted at the top of her voice, calling Su Ping, as if something big had happened.
In fact, it was not about work, but because Tang Mei heard some unpleasant news and wanted to question Su Ping.
I still remember that when "Master Yu" was traveling that day, there was a woman in brocade clothes, carrying a basket of winter pears, and threw it at Su Ping. She also shouted to Su Ping, asking for a husband-in-law who looked as good as Mr. Yu. As a result, she yelled Her throat was broken, and Su Ping didn't pay attention to her.
The lady in Jinyi is Meng Su, the aunt of the Meng family in Chengfufang. She is just like Tang Qiu in Qinghuafang, not old but very senior. However, Meng Su is no longer a girl, but a widow.
To say that marriage in the Liang Dynasty was early enough, it was not uncommon for women to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. She married Prince Qianfeng at the age of thirteen, and the Prince died the following year. And she and the old concubine had a bad temper. So I went back to my parents' house to live.
As the saying goes, "When you first marry, you must follow your relatives, and when you marry again, you must follow your own body." This time she planned to find her husband-in-law on her own, and would never look for a half-mad and half-stupid monster like Prince Qianfeng. Fortunately, he died early. If she lived with him for the rest of her life, it would be a disaster. I feel so wronged to death, Miss.
I don't know where Meng Su got the news. I heard that this surnamed Su's son-in-law was quite unpopular in the Tang Dynasty. So far, the marriage has not been consummated. It is estimated that it won't be long before Miss Six is kicked out. At this time, she Tell people that if Tang Mei doesn't want her son-in-law anymore, remember to tell her.
Why did she say it? Although she didn't say it clearly, it was as obvious as the lice on a bald man's head. When these words reached Tang Mei's ears, Tang Mei was very angry.
"Su Baoyu, tell me clearly, when did you two hook up?"
It is said that Tang Mei has a bad temper, not only because she speaks a little awkwardly, but also because her big, cow-like eyes can give people the illusion of being angry.
Maybe she hasn't lost her temper yet, but others think she is already very angry.
For example, she is like this now, her eyes are glaring, as if she is fighting for her life with someone. In fact, it is not to that point. If she were a girl with small eyes, combined with the expressions of other parts of her face, it can even be said that she is speaking calmly. .
In fact, Tang Mei had already heard that they met on the day of praying for rain, but Tang Mei still asked deliberately, as if she wanted to deceive something. However, the change in her heart made her eyes narrow unconsciously.
Seeing Tang Mei's squinting and threatening expression, Su Ping snorted coldly: "Who do I hook up with, does it have any of your business?"
Hearing this, Tang Mei glared, then gritted her teeth and squinted, saying bitterly: "I tell you Su Baoyu, as long as you are still in the Duke's Mansion, you must know how to behave. If I find out, which wild woman are you with?" If you have any dealings with me, let’s see how I deal with you!”
After saying that, she turned around and got on the squeaky old car. As soon as she got in, she opened the car curtain with lingering anger and glared: "Broken legs!"
Su Ping snorted coldly and ignored it.
Then Miss Six returned to the superintendent's office, sat on the couch and fell into a daze.
Miss Six also has an advantage. In addition to criticizing others, she can also criticize herself.
Perhaps this is a common characteristic of people with a bad temper. They are more likely to fall into regret. They always think that if they had not been so anxious at the time, perhaps this or that result would not have happened.
She felt that she had wronged her new son-in-law, and that woman was shameless. She should scold her. How could she teach her new son-in-law a lesson?
Although she felt that she had wronged her son-in-law, the proud Sixth Miss could not apologize to the common people. However, she could be nicer to him, such as giving him some gifts, as compensation. But the silver satin robe that she planned to give last time arrived.
She hasn't finished sewing yet.
It's not that Miss Six doesn't work hard, it's that she hasn't learned how to be a needleworker since she was a child. Her needlework skills are really average. If she can sew the white silk lining onto the gown tightly, she's pretty good.
But after sewing it on, it always felt awkward, with bulges everywhere and uneven ironing. Later it was diagnosed that the lining was too big. So it was removed, cut again, and re-sewed.
Later, she plunged into work. It was almost dark when she came home every night. The busy work during the day made her feel tired, so she did not stay up late to do it. And there were only two little ones left by her side.
The maids Tang Wan and Tang Ting are too young to be counted on for needlework.
It would be nice if Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er were around. Unfortunately, they still have to go back to the inner house to serve the princess at night, and Tang Mei doesn't intend to deliberately invite outsiders to help her sew clothes, for fear that someone will ask her who this is for.
Sewn?
If it was said that it was sewn for her husband-in-law, she would feel embarrassed. After all, she had been shouting before that she didn't even have an eye for her husband-in-law, and was planning to clean up and go out. It had only been more than half a month, but she regretted it?
It was also because she yelled so loudly before that it became known to the world, and there were no secrets in the aristocratic circle. Now even the Meng family knew about it, otherwise Meng Su would not have appeared.
Thinking of this, Miss Six became even more upset.
"Logan, go home and get that silver robe."
"Here."
"Wait, remember to wrap it up so no one can see it."
"I know, miss."
Tang Mei raised her eyebrows: "What do you know?"
Tang Wan felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she hunched her shoulders and said, "Slave... I don't know anything."
Tang Mei knew what Tang Wan wanted to say. Even the little maid could tell that Miss Six did not want others to know that she was sewing clothes for her husband-in-law. She felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but Tang Mei did not embarrass Tang Wan and let the maid go and do things.
.
Tang Ting was sitting in the concierge, and Tang Mei was the only one left in the empty Mei Pavilion hall.
In the huge courtyard and empty attic, she heard the "whining" sound from time to time, as if someone was crying, which made Tang Mei feel scared.
She pretended to be calm and had to hold on. Especially when someone came in to do something, Miss Six looked solemn and serious. From time to time she would give some work instructions or ask some questions as if to find fault. For example, how did you recite the rules?
?Then recite the third item to me.
The people who came to do business left, and the room seemed even more deserted. Suddenly, a "bang" was heard, which made the sixth lady turn pale in fright.
The sound came from behind. She stared in horror, her neck stiffened, and she turned her head to look. She saw that the window was in disrepair and had been blown off by the wind.
…
The layout of the Supervisor's Mansion is very similar to that of Miss Sixth Lady's house, both have three courtyards, but the Supervisor's Mansion is much larger than Miss Sixth Miss's house.
Especially the third courtyard, which is originally the main hall, and there are wing rooms on both sides of the main hall. Even the wing rooms have two rooms, inside and outside, which are much larger than the back room in the Sixth Miss's house.
But for some reason, the attic was built in the second courtyard, stealing the spotlight from the main hall. The two wing rooms are also in the second courtyard. This strange pattern, I really don’t know which dynasty is imitating the architecture. Maybe
Some Feng Shui demi-fairy must have given the ancestor of the Tang family this weird idea.
In the huge superintendent's office, there were only Tang Mei and two maids. Although there were people coming to do things from time to time, most of the time it was just the three of them, and it always felt a little scary. Especially when I thought of the name "Haunted House"
, it even makes people shiver down their spines.
Supervisor Tang had just cleared out a group of people, and there was a shortage of children in the warehouse. At this time, Tang Mei thought, it would be better to add two more people to the supervising office. And then she thought of her old lady who had been taking care of her since she was a baby.
Mom, Wang Rong.
Although grandma is over sixty years old, she is a person who has practiced martial arts and has a very strong physique. When the old grandma heard that the young lady was going to re-enable her, she was so excited that she was selling fruits at a roadside stall and burst into tears.
No, Mei'er trotted all the way to see her. She ran quite fast, giving people the illusion of walking in the wind without touching the dust.
Imagine a little old lady with gray hair, running fast on a straight road, running for three streets without slowing down, it is amazing.
"Oh! Miss——! My good miss——, grandma is here!"
As soon as Grandma Wang arrived at the door of Mei Pavilion, she suddenly couldn't walk. She knelt down on the steps and screamed, pulling her neck out like a mourner:
"Miss——, I don't want to leave you anymore. After being apart for several months, I feel that life is worse than death! Miss, please, don't let me go again. Let me serve you.
Until the day when I can’t move anymore——! Oh——, my Meier!”
"Mother Wang, get up quickly." Seeing the old grandmother like this, the sixth lady walked out of the door with red eyes and reached out to help her.
In order to serve Princess Fengyang and Tang Mei, Grandma Wang never married. She often proudly said that she is still perfect to this day.
Perhaps it is because "a son never thinks his mother is ugly", Tang Mei, who has long regarded Grandma Wang as half a mother, does not dislike this ugly old woman.
I don’t know what Princess Fengyang thought when she chose to marry a palace maid, and she chose such an ugly person. She was not tall and a little stooped. She had a pair of short bow legs, but a pair of long arms that reached over the knees. A towering eagle.
Her hooked nose felt like the skin on her nose was about to split open. The thin layer of skin clinging to her facial bones made her eyes look particularly sinister. Looking at her was like seeing a vicious witch.
When he first saw her, Su Ping seemed to understand why Princess Fan wanted to kick her out of the Duke's mansion.
"Miss, you can't stand it like this. I want this old slave to tell me that while Fan is seriously ill, we should seize the time and piss her off to death! Otherwise, when she dies, Miss's tone will be terrible again.
I can’t get out either.”
Grandma Wang said a few sinister words, and suddenly she became miserable: "My good lady, this old slave is the person who knows me best in the world. Our lady must not hold her breath, otherwise she will be like the princess."
She's sick. If the young lady doesn't go and vent her anger, the old slave will go and scold the man surnamed Fan to his face!"
It is worth mentioning that when Princess Fengyang was there, Concubine Fan was just a concubine. At that time, Grandma Wang was the number one evil slave around Princess Fengyang, and she often enforced family law on behalf of the princess. Whenever someone dared to be discourteous to the princess, the king
The evil slave scolds when he opens his mouth and hits when he raises his hand.
