Chapter 282, Three Women in One Play
As long as these gentry knew at the beginning that the new officials had to take action first, they were prepared in advance and join forces together, who would be really afraid of the county magistrate?
These people know much more than Su Huan in this regard. Su Huan doesn't have to remind him personally. As long as they make noises on the street yesterday, these smart people will naturally understand.
In fact, no matter what these gentry plan to do, Su Hua will do things according to his own ideas.
Mrs. Mu's villain mentality was already visible in arranging a meal. Su Huan's table was only sat on the merchants in the restaurant that day, but the aristocrats in the restaurant that day were not at this table, but at a table next to them.
This shows that Mrs. Mu is not really that stupid, at least she knows that she has to pick the persimmons and pinch them with soft pinches.
But she still had the intention of killing the chicken to warn the monkey, and arranged for the aristocrats who watched the fun in the restaurant that day to sit at the next table.
Mrs. Mu underestimated the relationship between locals.
Forget it, Mrs. Mu is not worried about these things. She, a person who is about to be eliminated by Mrs. Mu, has nothing to worry about her.
Inviting guests to dinner is just that.
It was still early to eat, but Mrs. Mu arranged for the opera team to perform, and Su Hua couldn't understand these babbling operas, and he was drowsy.
It was almost noon, and I finally saw Mrs. Mu following a man and walking towards the banquet here.
Today, Mrs. Mu's dress was extremely luxurious, with all the gold, silver and jewelry piled up on her body, and it looked like a jewelry box.
After seeing this, no one would suspect that she was from the Mu family of the King of Dongzhu, because she wore a string of pearls with plump and large grains on her neck, a string of pearls on her wrists, a skirt with small pearls, a lark hairpin twisted with golden thread on her head also held pearls on her ears.
Su Hua was a little phobic because of the pearls covered in head and body. After rubbing the beads of suffering eyes, he heard a burst of laughter coming from the front, "Sister Mu, today is the day when Lord Shangguan takes office. Why do I see a country girl wearing a cloth sitting down below? This is too inconsistent. When did a person with your status make such friends? I am afraid that it is not someone who comes to your house to eat and drink."
Come here, come so soon.
Su Hua blinked his eyes and looked up at the person who was talking. He was a woman who was dressed more luxuriously than ordinary people, but not as precious as Mrs. Mu.
This woman, Su Huan was bored when she was watching the show just now, and she just took a look at the situation in the mansion. She saw this woman, Liao Bishan, the wife of Yang Zhubu.
The two pearl earrings she has on her ears now should have been given to her by Mrs. Mu. Now she will help the county magistrate eliminate dissidents. She is really an honest person who can do things with benefits.
Su Huan pretended not to listen to this sentence, and made her punch hit the cotton.
It was not quiet at this time. The men came forward to congratulate Lord Shangguan. The scene was noisy, and it was nothing strange for Su Hua to pretend that he didn't hear her.
Mrs. Mu pulled Mrs. Liao and the two sat on a table.
In ancient times, men and women had different seats, so it was normal for them to sit behind a table blocked by a screen.
Inviting Su Hua to come, but it was already an insult to arrange for her to sit with many men.
Fortunately, Su Hua is from modern times and has a clear understanding of this kind of thing, but he does not have a deep sense of insulting.
Just sitting at the same table with a man, how big a thing can it be? Even if there is something wrong, it will be the boss’s arrangements, and it’s the customer’s fault?
Therefore, Su Hua was really speechless about Mrs. Mu's stinginess. Even if the others knew that Mrs. Mu meant to be a country girl, she would not help Su Hua, but would others have a good impression of Mrs. Mu, who was so petty and concise?
Su Huan's face remained unchanged. He sat at the table with a straight face, took out his own melon seeds and ate them so deliciously.
Boss Ji said hello to Lord Shangguan and came back to sit down. Seeing Su Huan eating melon seeds, a look of envy appeared on his face. Su Huan quickly picked up a handful of them from the "carrying" and gave him a handful.
The other two "watching merchants" who were arranged at this table also asked Su Hua for a handful of melon seeds. Everyone didn't chat, just ate the melon seeds and watched everyone chat.
It’s not that Mrs. Mu did not provide melon seeds to the dining table, but there were really not many things. Who really came for the sake of snacks when she came to the county magistrate’s banquet?
Who would keep eating these snacks?
The people at this table had long understood Mrs. Mu's plan. It was appropriate to say hello to Lord Shangguan. They were all merchants, and they could only say hello to him politely. Now it is better to leave it to the aristocrats in the county and Lord Shangguan to communicate.
Everyone was eating melon seeds without any discomfort. It seemed that they didn't feel that they were targeted by Mrs. Mu.
Mrs. Mu took her eyes from Su Hua with soreness and glanced at Madam Liu, "Why did she let her bring Guazier in?"
You didn't say you didn't let her bring melon seeds. Madam Liu felt aggrieved and said, "Who went to someone else's house to bring food by herself? It's because this country girl has no rules. I didn't expect her to be so shameless. It's because the old slave didn't think it was thoughtful."
Put the people who want to be rectified on the table. Although the show has not started yet, they are so comfortable that Mrs. Mu became angry when she saw it, "Don't she feel embarrassed to sit next to the man?"
Kou Niang, the wife of the county magistrate, happened to walk over with her head down, her eyes rolled, and then covered her lips and smiled, "Sister Mu, how can the country girls know about these men and women's defenses? She has made you unhappy. Just send her away. You also invited her to the adults to take office at the banquet. Isn't this a villain giving this kid a face? How can a person like her be ashamed?"
Liao Bishan looked at Kou Niang with deep eyes, held Mu Wanling's hand and felt very pity. He scolded Kou Niang, "Sister Mu just came to the county. This country girl is very savage. Bullying Sister Mu is just here, which almost made Sister Mu have no place to settle down, and almost made Young Master Shangguan delay the second day's interview with the academy. Do you think Sister Mu can swallow this tone? It's okay if you don't help Sister Mu, how can you be so sarcastic here?"
Mu Wanling only felt that Liao Bishan was very considerate to her. As for the wife of the county magistrate, she was not close to her at all, and she did not care about the gifts she gave. Now it seems that the county magistrate should be dissatisfied with her husband's arrival.
Mu Wanling no longer knows that the world is dangerous outside, and she has heard others say that some places have second-in-command county magistrates join forces with local gentry to undermine the county magistrate.
Now it seems that his husband encountered such a situation?
