Chapter 262 Please
Meng Yan was in a daze for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but stammer again: "The second sister was sick that time, and he decided to be the prince... this is not in line with etiquette."
"That's because Prince Ding himself is nervous. What's the matter with your second sister? Your second sister will be so sick that she doesn't know the situation." Mrs. Meng said in panic and her face was not blushing, and she immediately said, "Prince Ding is a person who values friendship. There are many rumors outside. Prince Ding is also worried that your sister really has something. His reputation is nothing, but she is afraid that some villains will snatch the situation and say that your second sister was killed. The prince is also afraid that there will be something in his heart."
"Mother, can I not go to the birthday party next day?" After all, Meng Yan still didn't want to attend any birthday party. She was a little afraid of those gossips.
"No, you must go." Mrs. Meng's tone of speaking was not rejected at all.
"Just go with your second sister. I didn't often attend such banquets before." Meng Yan didn't want to stand with this second sister and be criticized.
"Your second sister won't go." After Mrs. Meng said, she saw her daughter's surprised gaze and explained, "Your second sister will be out of business next month. She wants to stay at home to prepare. It is normal not to go, but you must not go. Otherwise, the last time... others will have bad guesses, so you have to walk out with your head held high and your chest will be broken."
Meng Yan should have felt relieved when her second sister didn't go, but for some reason, she was even more worried, and she was the only one.
"Are you afraid?" Mrs. Meng saw the fear in her daughter's eyes and her eyes became stern. "You felt wronged before? You thought that the second sister was not as good as you, but now she was held by the whole family. The mother now tells you that only when you become strong can you be respected. You should have seen it in your boudoir school. Many noble girls who are not inferior to you are looked down upon for various reasons, while some of them are not as good as them can be more popular. County Lord Xiuwen is an example, the daughter of the prince. The biological mother is a dancer. It is okay to say that she is noble, but it is not an exaggeration to say that she is noble. She can make a noble girl with her.
When she walked away, she acted with her eyes and her eyes, what was it based on. It was a kind of courage. Now a mother can say that in the future, your second sister would marry and become Princess Ding. Many princesses and ladies who came from nobler than her had to act according to her expression and did not dare to show off in front of her. It was not her origin, but she had the courage and means. If you can't show some courage, you will be low in front of your second sister in the future and be tempted by others, otherwise you will be waiting for bad luck. Remember Miss Hu San? She was married to Mr. Hong a few days ago. This is a living example."
Miss Hu San was married to Mr. Hong Er, and Meng Yan was shocked. He blurted out, "How is this possible?" Mr. Hong Er's infamy is famous among noble girls. Thinking about Miss Hu San's shy and cowardly appearance, she never thought that Ms. Hu San would be married to Mr. Hong Er, and Ms. Hu San's mother was not a stepmother.
"How is it impossible? If it weren't for your second sister, you would be the one who married Mr. Hong now." Mrs. Meng gave a strong medicine, "As your second sister said, you will be with Mr. Hong after you get drunk... even if you die, you will have to die in the Hong family. No one who is a parent can save you. You have to be grateful to your second sister for this."
...
When Mrs. Quan Si came to the Meng Mansion, she was told that the master's wife and the third lady had all gone to the banquet. I don't know when she would come back, and Mrs. Quan Si was a little disappointed. However, she had nothing to do today, but she didn't care. It was just because her family brought some wild nuts picked from the mountains and forests, which was the most suitable for making snacks. Although these things are not expensive, they are extremely difficult to buy on weekdays, so she sent some to the Meng family.
Reciting gifts? Relatives are getting closer and closer. Giving gifts is too expensive. It is difficult for others to accept them for nothing. It is also troublesome to return gifts. These valuable but rare things are the best. Generally, they just need to send back two snacks made by themselves or fresh fruits sent by others. Women chat and contact each other more. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Meng is not here. She waited for a while and the Meng family came back. It is not easy to disturb her too much. As long as the gifts are received, she can be done.
Mrs. Quan Si handed the gift to the manager, and then walked away under the guidance of the mother-in-law. When she passed a small pavilion, she saw a beautiful figure in red clothes sitting upright under the flower tree not far away. She couldn't help but feel moved and said to the mother with a smile: "Is the second lady in the house ahead?"
The old lady said, "Yes, the second lady has liked to pick silk threads in the sunlight recently."
Mrs. Quan Si took the opportunity to say, "Since you have met, can you allow me to go over and say hello?"
"This..." The old lady seemed a little embarrassed, but she was about to meet her. After all, Mrs. Quan Si is a wife's family, so it would not be good if she didn't report back. She nodded, "Please wait for the fourth aunt, and the old slave will come."
The mother came soon. What surprised Mrs. Quan Si was that Miss Meng Er actually followed the mother. Before she could think of a greeting, Yingying bowed to her and said, "Hello, Aunt Fourth."
"Second niece... don't have to be so polite." Mrs. Quan was a little flattered. In terms of seniority, she could indeed bear this gift, but a powerful family, with countless relatives and old friends, the Quan family has a wealth of descendants and a large population. There are more than 20 daughters-in-law of her generation. They really take it seriously. In addition, the older generation recognizes their relatives one by one, I am afraid that nothing can be done except to give a gift a day. Although I have met once before, the second lady's identity is very different. She has no other intentions, just say hello to make a fuss. It seems that she will meet in the future. She never dares to think of using her seniority to suppress the second lady.
Su Yiqing gave a tribute seriously and smiled lightly: "I don't know that my fourth aunt came over, Xiao Fu was neglected."
"No, no, it was me who disturbed my second niece." Mrs. Quan Si hurriedly, then turned her eyes and glanced at the needle and silk under the flower tree in front of her, and said, "Is the second niece doing needle and thread?"
Su Yiqing nodded and smiled slightly, "I'm just picking some silk threads for wedding dresses... I heard that my fourth aunt's needlework is good. If I'm not in a hurry, can I give me some advice?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here to visit, but your mother is not here and you're idle?" Mrs. Quan Si said earnestly. This was exactly what she wanted.
If you have the confidence to match clothes colors and styles and silk threads, Mrs. Quan Si will never lose to any embroiderer or tailor in the capital. Since this niece who is about to fly to the branch is interested, she naturally has to do her best.
After half an hour, Mrs. Quan was in a happy mood except for the gate of the Meng Mansion. This time it was a surprise. She didn't see Mrs. Meng and her daughter, but she could talk to Miss Meng Er. Although Miss Meng Er didn't talk much, she really just had a tailoring style, silk thread selection and embroidery needlework. If everything started, it would be easier to do in the future.
I got on the carriage back home, and then carefully recalled every word that Miss Meng Er said and every word she said, and sure there was nothing wrong. Then I breathed a sigh of relief. But then I thought again, because I didn’t know Miss Meng Er’s temperament, she didn’t dare to say a word other than needlework, but Miss Meng Er didn’t say a word of extra topic, and didn’t even give her the chance to say extra topic. Is it because of habit that I didn’t say much or did it deliberately? If it was deliberately done, it was nothing, and if it was habit, this kind of mind would not be underestimated.
It is not just that King Ding could choose her as his wife. Such a girl is indeed suitable for the Ding Palace, which is quite chaotic in the inner house. After marrying, unless Prince Ding really doesn't like to deliberately suppress her, the Yingying and Yanyan, who are sexually involved in the Ding Palace, will not shake her status.
When King Ding had no wife, many noble ladies were muttering privately, what kind of peerless beauty could be the Princess of Ding? Where is the status of King Ding? He is so talented. Girls with poor family background and appearance cannot marry, but no one thought that it would be okay to remove a few conditions. King Ding was already noble enough, and he did not need a princess with a particularly prominent family background to add icing on the cake. It would be okay if he had a lower background. As for appearance, there were many beauties in the palace, and it was unlikely to find someone who was absolutely gorgeous. Since this is the case, it might not be necessary to be too stunning. Only the last item of learning or ability is left. As for the mistress of the family, there are no elders in the palace. This princess must have extraordinary skills. If it is a little weak, it is impossible to suppress it. In this way, it is very appropriate for Miss Meng Er to have such experience in this life.
Now that the marriage is a foregone conclusion, Miss Meng Er can settle the position of the princess as long as she can marry successfully. In the end, she is the granddaughter of the Quan family. Even if she does not deliberately take care of the Quan family, the Quan family will benefit only in one name. If she takes care of one or two more, it will be much better than making friends with a hundred noble ladies.
It seems that I have to come to Meng's house more often in the future. Miss Meng's second wife is not disgusted with her when I see her today. Moreover, for various reasons, no elders come forward to help with the marriage, both the Meng family and the whole family, and it is obvious that Mrs. Meng cannot take care of many things. Now, choosing silk thread and tailoring clothes today is difficult to discuss with the embroiderer. The suggestions put forward by these low-ranking people at this time have always been stable. They do not seek merit but do not have so many concerns, so maybe they can help a little.
Mrs. Quan Si was immediately full of fighting spirit, and her previous setbacks were wiped out, as if she had seen a bright road that she had not seen before...
In the evening, Mrs. Meng came back with her daughter. The official position of the Lin family is not as good as that of the Hu family, and the foundation is not behind the Hu family. Therefore, the birthday of Mr. Lin is not as grand as that of the Hu family. In terms of scale and number, there are not half of the Hu family, and there are not many people who are too noble, so it can end early. (To be continued.
