MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 60
Two days later, there was a lotus feast at the house of Yu Zhifu in Pengcheng, Mingchu dressed up a bit, and attended slowly in the Yaohua satin dress that Yuluofang wore.
Since she got married, Mingchu has understood some of the joys of noble girls in Beijing who love Qiluo brocade. Of course, the main reason is that the two sisters-in-law in the family are quick and easy-going, and they have left nothing for her on the road of heroism. room to play.
And what a man loves is color after all. When she married in, her husband already had a roommate.
Although due to the prestige of the Marquis of Jing'an, she has not been promoted as an aunt, but her husband takes care of her everywhere, and she always spends ten or so days in that house every month, which is more difficult than staying in the house of her rightful wife. Not much.
That Tong Fang is so pretty, and is used to knowingly looking at the weak and weak, since she entered the door, she has often dug holes and stumbling blocks for her.
At first she was impatient, and wanted to act in a courteous manner, but the little **** dared to beat her up and find the old lady and her husband to make decisions for her. Heart bored.
However, after studying in the backyard for a long time, she also gradually realized that many things, men don't understand, but they have biases in their hearts, and sometimes they just pretend not to understand.
Fortunately, Liu Xinxun, the girl who served her mother in the past, came to ask her to take her in. Liu Xin had many ideas, so she carefully analyzed the current Feng family's backyard with her, and advised her to learn to dress up, learn to be patient, and learn to be gentle with her husband. Restrain your temper in front of you. Slowly, it has achieved some results.
Now the old lady is so sick that she can't control her, and she found an excuse to kill Tongfang, and life is finally getting better.
In Yu Mansion, as soon as Ming Chufu appeared, many wives and ladies stepped forward and surrounded her, saying flattering words.
Nowadays, whenever such an occasion occurs, Mingchu will consciously or unintentionally mention her good sister.
This is what Liu Xin taught her.
Liu Xin said, Jing'an Hou's Mansion and Dingbei Wang's Mansion are two strong backers, it's a pity not to use them. Moreover, Hezhou is not the capital city, and she has not done any evil deeds to bully men and women under the banner of the two prefectures, so it is difficult for people to know.
At first, Mingchu was very nervous, why did she take advantage of that **** Ming Tan!
But Liu Xin said again, since she hated her, wouldn't it be nice to use her hands to run amok, gain advantage and damage her reputation?
When she thought about it carefully, it was exactly the reason.
"The clothes are just passable. If it were my younger sister, the concubine, she might not be able to look at her very much." Someone praised her embroidered satin, and she said casually, "My younger sister likes extravagance the most. There are also some things to cut and play with."
"After all, she is a princess. I haven't seen anything good."
"That's right, I heard that the Su family wanted to **** this dress two days ago, and he really overestimated his capabilities."
Ming Chuzheng was talking lively around here, and whoever said "Hey", everyone turned their heads and was stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help being a little surprised in their hearts, everyone looked at the woman who was walking slowly, rustling They whispered to each other.
When Mingchu looked at the person, his face suddenly changed.
Su Rongrong?
Why is she wearing Yaohua satin!
This Su Rongrong is the young lady of the Su family who was robbed of her clothes by girl Mingchu in Yuluofang two days ago.
I saw that she was wearing a brocade skirt of Yaohua satin, butterfly and begonia, red and white, with tinkling rings, as if there were butterflies fluttering in her movements.
Compared to Mingchu's upper body, which is only made of Yaohua satin, her body is obviously much more luxurious, and the embroidery patterns on it are exquisite and complicated. One can tell at a glance that the workmanship is extremely ingenious and of great value.
Not only the clothes, but also the embroidered shoes and pearl hairpin earrings, which seemed to be specially matched with this outfit, they were all very impressive items at first glance, making her look a bit brighter and more attractive than usual.
"Rong Rong, is your body also a Yaohua satin?" Someone who has something to do can't help but ask.
Su Rongrong nodded reservedly.
"Could it be that there were other Yaohua satin clothes in Yuluofang that day?"
"That's not true." Su Rongrong glanced at Ming Chu casually, "I couldn't afford such a good dress, but today's outfit is a gift from a nobleman."
"Your Excellency? What Honorable Person?"
Everyone became curious. The Su family was considered a wealthy family in Hezhou, but it was only rich, and there were no high-ranking officials. It was never heard that her family knew any noble people.
Su Rongrong smiled: "Speaking of it, it's also thanks to Mrs. Third Young Master. That day in Yuluofang, I originally wanted to buy the clothes worn by Mrs. Third Young Master. But the Ganoderma lucidum girl next to Mrs. is so domineering that she insisted that I didn't pay the bill. This dress is not mine, and I forced Yuluofang to sell the clothes to her, otherwise I would write a letter to Princess Dingbei, so that the business of Yuluofang could not be done. You don’t have to make things difficult for Yuluofang, so I took the initiative to give in.”
Everyone: "...?"
This... the third young lady of the Feng family has not been domineering for a day or two. Miss Su's dare to say so much today, is it crazy? Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered for a moment.
Su Rongrong said again: "Speaking of which, I was a little angry at the time. I was robbed of my clothes for no reason. If you were replaced by you, wouldn't you be angry? But what's the use of being angry, and being angry can't be exchanged for a noble sister like Princess Dingbei. At that time, I still thought, King Dingbei is the famous God of War who made a great show of calming the Northland for me, why did he marry such a bullying concubine?"
"..."
Everyone was stupefied in shock, is Su Rongrong tired of living? To say in public that Princess Dingbei is bullying others?
"I was so angry for a day. Who would have thought that a distinguished guest came to the door the next day, saying that her wife happened to witness the Ganoderma lucidum snatching my clothes yesterday in Yuluofang. Her wife felt very sorry, and she just happened to do the same." The new clothes made of Yao brocade, which I haven't worn yet, were given to me by Ben Tete as an apology."
Some people are sensitive to "I'm sorry" and "Apologize", and some people just want to know who is so courageous. Isn't this behavior openly against Princess Dingbei?
However, no matter how these people asked, Su Rongrong just smiled and said nothing, turned his head and leisurely looked at it, it was clear that something was wrong with his expression.
"The third young lady still has time to come here to participate in the wind and lotus banquet today, and you are not in a hurry to return to the mansion to receive the order from the princess?" She asked slowly.
"Princess's decree?"
"What decree?"
"Miss Su, how do you know?"
Everyone smelled something wrong, and you asked me one sentence at a time.
Just at this time, the extremely arrogant Ganoderma lucidum girl next to Mingchu suddenly ran over, she hurriedly whispered in Mingchu's ear: "Ma'am, it's not good, Princess Dingbei sent someone to come to the house The edict has reprimanded you! Master, the master happens to be in the mansion."
Mingchu's complexion, which was already green with anger, suddenly turned livid.
Only then did Su Rongrong smile and continue to explain: "Do you know who is the nobleman who sent someone to my house to deliver the clothes? It is the good sister that the third young lady always talks about, Princess Dingbei."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"The concubine is also wondering how she has such a good sister who is so majestic, and she is using her name to go around. No, Tete went to General Xuanwei's mansion and issued a Taoist order to this good sister. Woolen cloth."
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you. Although the details are not very clear, you basically understand that the relationship between Princess Dingbei and her concubine is not only bad, but also extremely bad.
I knew about this two days ago, but I had to wait until today for the Fenghe Banquet to let Su Rongrong slap her in the face in public, and even go to Feng's mansion to issue an order to reprimand her. I am afraid that she would be angry if she learned that this concubine sister was showing off her power in Hezhou by virtue of her name. It's not easy.
At this moment, everyone in the Feng residence was also very angry.
Now that the old lady in the family is seriously ill, the rest of the people dare not be too constrained by this woman. This woman calls herself "Eldest Sister of Princess Dingbei" everywhere outside, they know something about it, but they can't do anything to her if they know it, she is indeed the eldest sister of Princess Dingbei, Princess Dingbei didn't say anything, they How can I put my beak on it?
And she also killed Saburo's Tong Fang earlier, because she was originally the main wife, punishing a Tong Fang is not a big deal, and with the backing of Princess Dingbei, although the methods were ruthless, no one dared to pursue anything.
But it's fine that this woman and Princess Dingbei are not as affectionate as she boasted, how much enmity is this? It actually caused people to come to the door and slap her face without any regard for sisterhood, and ordered her to "use the power of the prince's house to run amok" and "shouldn't flaunt her personal virtues". Even their house also said "the family is not strict". Warning!
When Ming Chu returned to the mansion with a livid face, a woman directly carried her to the flower hall of the main house. Before she could speak up to defend herself, General Feng yelled: "Stupid woman, kneel down!"
She refused to kneel at first, and wanted to find Feng Sanlang, but she didn't realize that her husband was already kneeling there due to lack of restraint, but with a flash of divine skill, a servant woman kicked her leg, and pressed her to kneel on Feng Sanlang's body sideways.
General Feng is a rough man, he has been a soldier all his life, and he has never done anything to bully others. Today, he was scolded by a young concubine, and his old face is completely humiliated!
He lashed out at the couple, telling them to go and kneel in the ancestral hall, and warned Feng Sanlang not to let this stupid woman go out for half a time, and the two girls beside Mingchu named Liu Lingzhi , one who instigated right and wrong and one who relied on others' power, all of them were beaten to death!
Mingchu was naturally unwilling, she struggled angrily: "If your Feng family treats me like this, if my father knows—"
Before she could finish speaking, General Feng threw a letter in her face and said harshly: "This is the letter from your father! Your father said that now you are the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, how to discipline you is up to the Feng family." If you want to give up in the future, you don’t have to send it back to the Marquis of Jing’an’s mansion, just take a carriage to Mei’an and join your aunt in the green lantern ancient Buddha!”
Hearing the words, Mingchu's ears rang for a while, and his eyes widened, quite unbelievable.
After a long while, she unfolded the letter with a pale face, her hands trembling. It was actually her father's handwriting and seal on it.
"It's my Feng family's misfortune to marry such a stupid woman like you! If you cause trouble again, my Feng family will divorce you immediately!"
She vented all her strength, the fear and helplessness of being imprisoned in the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion welled up in her heart, and she did not dare to be presumptuous any more.
When the Feng family was in trouble, Jiang Xumingtan and his party were already far away from Hezhou, and the carriage was driving on the official road to Yuzhou at a leisurely pace.
Seeing that the book in Ming Tan's hand hadn't been turned for a while, Jiang Xu suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?"
Ming Tan slowly put down the scroll, and thoughtfully said: "I'm thinking, at this moment, my third elder sister should know what the price of acting in my name is."
It was impossible for her to let her husband stay in Hezhou for two days without reason, so she only kept Yunyi, asked her to deliver things to Miss Su's family, and then specially waited until today's Fenghe Banquet, and she also delivered a letter to Jing'an Houfu Well, thinking about it, if Mrs. Pei spoke from the sidelines, Dad wouldn't even be confused about this matter.
…
"Actually, if she is only using the name of Jing'an Hou's Mansion, I will write a letter to Dad at most. Dad always treats the third sister with a little bit of pity. But she shouldn't, she shouldn't use Dingbei Princess Act in name.
"She acted like this, not only hurting my reputation, but also the reputation of the palace and my husband. My husband's military exploits and prestige were all fought with a knife and a gun on the battlefield. How can I allow her to be invincible?" Those who do stupid things will waste it later."
Seeing her serious and angry appearance, Jiang Xu was a little surprised, but also a little touched. In fact, he never thought that his little concubine punished his concubine for the sake of his reputation.
Ming Tan took a sip of tea to relax, and added angrily: "I haven't ruined it yet!"
Jiang Xu paused.
Silently took back the touch just now.
