Chapter 487: Face
Faced with Su Yiqing's doubts, Lu Teng only said respectfully: "I and others dare not do anything that endangers the safety of the princess."
Su Yiqing said: "You may not be sincere, but sometimes there will always be accidents. You don't know anything in advance?"
"The princess once said... I don't want to answer, so I can't answer." Lu Teng calmly said something surprised Su Yiqing.
Su Yiqing looked at her for a long time before saying, "It's okay, you go down."
Green Vine gave a bow and slowly retreated.
Su Yiqing let out a long sigh.
Everything today was beyond her expectations, but she had nothing to say, or in the huge Ding Palace, there was no one to be found.
I sat alone by the window for a long time.
Lu Teng came in again to report: "Report to the princess, the Zhou family sent you a post to invite you to attend the wedding of Miss Zhou and Prince Shi's family."
Zhou family, Zhou Caier, Su Yiqing thought for a while before she remembered it, and couldn't help but frown: "Why is it so fast? It seems that this marriage has been booked for less than half a month."
Lu Teng said: "It is said that it was the day chosen by the old master of the Shi family. The old master of the Shi family firmly believes in the theory of numerology, saying that it is the best auspicious day in ten years. Of course, the married men and women will definitely grow old together and have children and grandchildren."
"It's really nonsense. Can't you get married in another time and grow old?" Su Yiqing was very disdainful. She didn't believe in numerology, but sometimes she couldn't be too irrelevant. But forget it, it's not her business, so she said, "Just send a gift for you."
"Yes, princess." Lu Teng finished speaking. Before he stepped down, he said again, "Princess..."
Su Yiqing said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Lu Teng nodded and said, "I want to say that maybe my wife's words just now have caused the princess to misunderstand me, I..."
"No need to explain, sometimes the reasons are not very important, the results are the same." Su Yiqing smiled faintly, "You don't have to confess to me. I'm already satisfied if you don't cheat."
"I know that my status is humble, but I really respect the princess. The princess is a good person and treats her very well." Lu Teng said sincerely.
Su Yiqing smiled again: "I am a good person. I have heard many people say this. But most of them at the end, I am afraid that I won't think so. OK, you really don't have to say too much. You have your identity and responsibilities, and our position is not the same. Occasionally there are conflicts, and it is too extravagant to say that you are sincere and false. Everyone should do what they should do."
"Yes, it's my servant who has passed away." Something seemed to flash in Green Teng's eyes, which had always been calm, and then she retreated.
Su Yiqing sighed secretly, not that the maid cannot have feelings, but that the previous lesson told her that the status difference is too great and she cannot be a real friend. In addition to the position and hope, there are many things that cannot be agreed with.
In the past, I often heard some innocent ladies say that they are like sisters with that maid. Sisters are equal, and they can express their unhappiness. Can maids express their unhappiness to the ladies? The relationship between sisters based on rank and inferior is not equal at all. What is the sisterhood that is too naive?
Just listening to the words of Green Vine, it is not that I know nothing about what happened around Princess Xiangshan, but it is just that it is inconvenient to say it out.
In fact, she and Princess Xiangshan couldn't have any friendship, and they had some opposition to each other's positions, but out of sympathy for Princess Xiangshan, she asked a few more questions.
It’s better to check it slowly and pay attention to it yourself. You can’t count on Green Vine and Radish in everything. What they said from their mouths has been deleted.
It seems that you have to go out more or find someone to talk to. Judging from some clues, I haven’t seen Mrs. Quan for a long time. Mrs. Quan is quite familiar with the situation outside and can talk to her.
...
On the other side of the Zhou family, the marriage was almost ready, but there were some minor problems with the banquet, mainly how the guests greeted him.
Yang asked Meng Yan and asked, "Has the post been sent to Dingwang Mansion? Is your sister coming?"
Meng Yan was speechless. How could a princess like their family come? The folk rules can be invited, but it depends on the situation. There are a lot of relatives who are in a noble family. If every relative who is in love with some happiness comes, then there are probably ten clones that are not enough.
People only have the same status and only have similar banquets.
Otherwise, the status is too different, and it is difficult to arrange the seats alone. If the status is noble and the senior, who will sit in the main seat and who will sit in the second? It is not appropriate. If the dispute is not good, it will easily lead to conflicts.
"The second sister is the only master in the Ding Palace, so I'm afraid I don't have time to come." Meng Yan tried her best to tell Yang the news that the second sister would not come.
Yang said: "This is a great event. I heard that your second sister left the mansion two days ago and went to the joy of a prince's housewarming. Compared to housewarming, marriage is much more important."
Meng Yan really wanted to roll her eyes. Yang was well-informed. He even knew when his second sister had left the house, but she didn't know.
But the vision of coming from a small place is too small, and many things are based on the customs of your own place.
She didn't even think about it, could the Zhou family be compared with the prince's mansion?
I have a lot of relatives, and I have low status. As long as I invite you, I will definitely come. Regardless of my relatives, it is an honor to be invited by someone who is more noble than me.
"Or why should we come to invite me in person?" Yang did not give up and made another suggestion.
My daughter is married into a high-ranking family. If her mother's family has prominent relatives to attend the wedding, it will give her a lot of face, and her husband's family dare not underestimate her.
Meng Yan said patiently: "Mother-in-law, it's hard for us to often climb the Ding Prince's Mansion... My husband also has to rely on the imperial examinations. If he goes to Ding Prince's Mansion frequently, he will cause gossip. If his husband passes the exam in the future, others will say that it is not based on his true skills."
"How could it be, can it be that no serious relatives are needed to go?" Yang only felt that Meng Yan was perfunctory and said, "Is it because your Meng family looked down on the Zhou family?"
"Mother-in-law, the second sister has already married into the Ding Prince's Mansion. It cannot be said that she is from the Meng family." Meng Yan was almost patient. What about the Zhou family, the Meng family, this Yang family is really too irritating.
I remember that Yang was not like this before. When I first met, Yang was still a very standard mistress. He had all the demeanor he should have. He didn't give his mother any favors. Why did he change so much during this period? It was like he had become a different person. He suddenly became angry with his family.
Yang still wanted to persuade Meng Yan, and let her second sister come over to support the store. I heard that there are many nobles in the Shi family, and Meng Yan's mother's status is higher, but she still has no title of imperial edict. If there is a princess, the identity of the visitor will be higher.
Meng Yan was impatient with Yang and found an excuse to escape first.
When I returned to my house, I secretly disdained it. Don’t mention that the Zhou family has a low status. The relatives are uneven, and some people have no eyes. This marriage alone is a big mistake. It would be strange if the second sister is willing to come. Not to mention the second sister, even his mother, he doesn’t want to come.
Due to the face of my in-laws, I have to come. I will make some jokes in the future, and my family may also be subject to some rumors.
The Shi family made the marriage so urgently. They were afraid that others would regret it. It seemed that Mr. Shi had a big problem.
Fortunately, the booking was urgent and everything was simple.
Zhou Caier's dowry was accumulated a few years ago. It only took some time to transport it from your hometown, and there was no need to invite too many guests to save trouble.
Of course, some relatives from the Meng family came here. Only the Quan family really wanted to invite them, and they didn’t want to invite them. In the end, they hired Mrs. Quan, who is better at socializing, so there is no need to invite them.
Just like this, I still felt something was wrong, for fear that Mr. Quan and his friends would know what room they had and what happened.
After thinking about it, she went back to her parents' home and discussed it with her mother.
Mrs. Meng is not at all concerned about these trivial matters at this moment.
Something happened to the Meng family recently, whether it is big or small.
It was her son Meng Guang who had recently caused a small disaster. This disaster was actually not small. When Meng Guang went home to visit relatives two days ago, he beat a young man named Ji.
Generally speaking, young people are inevitably quarreling occasionally, which is not a big deal, but the problem is that this young master Ji is the brother-in-law of the princess of the princess of Guo County.
It's really hard to say that they are kinship with each other.
The cause of the matter is even hard to tell the outside world.
That day Meng Guang came back to visit relatives and met Miss Lewen, the convoy of Prince Guo County, who burned incense, and then the convoy met Mr. Ji and his group.
Somehow, the coachman next to Mr. Ji had a conflict with Miss Lewen's coachman.
At that time, both sides did not know each other's identity. There were a lot of powerful people under the feet of the emperor, and many of them were all powerful people. They were used to being rampant on weekdays and did not take others seriously.
Perhaps Mr. Ji is a bit frivolous. He heard that there was a lady sitting in the carriage, so he instigated his servants to make trouble and wanted to meet this lady.
After two conflicts, Meng Guang happened to catch up, so he naturally stood up.
Although there were many servants from Mr. Ji and his group, Meng Guang and his group were even more skillful, and they beat Mr. Ji and his group to pieces in a few seconds. They all lay down and then went home to complain.
Both parties have different identities in this kind of thing. If a family member with a little bit of temperament, he would scold his son. If he turned big things into small things, he would not have to have conflicts with others outside for his son and then become enemies?
Mr. Ji didn't say anything.
But Mrs. Ji was a little bit addicted to her son. After hearing the whole story, she was familiar with the relationship between the Meng family and the Prince of Guo County. She couldn't help but mutter a few words, probably some gossip about Le Wen.
Mr. Ji was beaten and wanted to take revenge, but he refused to stand up, so he could only find a way out.
So he arranged some gossip between Meng Guang and Miss Lewen, saying everywhere, saying that chance encounters were a private meeting.
Look, there are quite some rumors on the streets and alleys these days.
These rumors are really big, but they are not small, which will affect their son's future in the future. There is also Miss Lewen who will marry into the Meng family in the future and have to go out to meet people. How can she be troubled by such rumors?
The young man Meng Guang was so angry that after hearing these rumors, he was so angry that he wanted to settle the score with Mr. Ji, and wanted to teach Mr. Ji a lesson again.
After being stopped by her, some things will become more and more trouble. If you really want to ignore them, the rumors may be quit in a few days, but if you pay attention, it will become more and more intense.
I stopped it, but to be honest, my son is really innocent.
Mrs. Meng stood up for her son, and the attitude of Prince Guo’s Mansion made her even more dissatisfied.
I don’t know if it was the princess of Guo County who spoke for his mother’s family, or who said something in front of the princess of Guo County. In short, the princess of Guo County sent his servants to hint at him.
The general idea was that he suspected that his son was following Lewen and wanted to meet Lewen and the like.
If you say that it is not in accordance with the rules, please teach your son well. After all, he is a child of aristocratic families. He should not be so frivolous and indirectly corrupt the reputation of his daughter's family.
Mrs. Meng was so frustrated. Her son was obviously unfair, so why did he become a playboy who had a trip to steal fragrance and jade?
The Prince of Guo County is too indiscriminate.
In the face of rumors, when the two families are required to work together to deal with it, why do they blame each other and doubt each other?
However, Mr. Ji and his group were rude to Miss Lewen first and spread rumors later, why didn’t they see Prince Guo’s Mansion go to settle accounts with the Jian family, but instead suspected that their son was following him?
It is natural to take a step back, even if the son is a little curious about his fiancée, it is not a big deal. What's more, his son did nothing at all, but he was charged with such a crime.
For the first time, Mrs. Meng felt that this was not a good marriage. She had thought that the lady in Prince Guo’s Mansion had a noble status. At that time, the Meng family was not as good as before, and it was also a problem for Prince Ding’s Mansion.
I just want to marry a wife from a high family for my son. Now I think about it, it's really a bit unprofitable.
Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous princess is so indiscriminate. Can the daughter he taught is good? If she is like her mother and is unreasonable, then wouldn’t her son be wronged?
With such a troublesome thing, how could Mrs. Meng be in a mood to understand the right and wrong of the Zhou family? Zhou Caier was determined to marry him. She would bear the consequences in the future. Although her daughter could not bear it in the future and would be troubled in the future, there was nothing she could do about it.
She didn't want to care so much anymore. If she cared too much, others would talk about gossip and would be complained in the future. It was thankless to have the Zhou family. The Zhou family was not worth her spending any more time on it.
