After all, it was Princess Gaomi's birthday that day, so Sheng Weiqiao only asked her natal sisters to say a few words, but they couldn't hide in the wing all the time.
But after a while, the three sisters walked into the side hall. At that time, Zhao Yue and his sister were not there. The remaining person, Sheng Weiqiao, was not familiar with them at all, so they only exchanged a few polite words.
While he was talking to a young lady from the Qi family, a maid suddenly came over and whispered to Sheng Weiqiao: "The princess invites you to go to the Yidong back hall."
Sheng Weiqiao went to confess his crime to Miss Qi's family, and told Sheng Weirao to keep an eye on Sheng Weiwu, and then followed the maid towards the back hall.
The back hall is different from the side hall. In the side hall, there are female relatives of the younger generation and children, but in the back hall, there are female relatives of the Gaomi Princess generation or even older generations.
For example, Sheng Weiqiao's grandmother, Mrs. Ming, although she was not the elder of the princess, but considering Sheng Weiqiao, Ming Yue did not come to congratulate her in person. As soon as she arrived, she was with Xuan Yu Feng and was asked to shut up and have tea in front of the princess.
"I'm here." Princess Gaomi frowned slightly when she saw her daughter-in-law coming in, but then smiled, "I came in not long ago, and none of my relatives have been around. It just so happens that everyone will be here tomorrow. I came over to meet you."
After saying that, he invited her to walk beside him and introduced them one by one.
Madam Ming and Mrs. Xuanyu Feng are both Sheng Weiqiao's parents-in-law, so they need no introduction.
Although Sheng Weiqiao had met Mrs. Qin and Ji's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before when she went to the Zhao Mansion, they had visited as outsiders at that time. Their relationship was different at that time, but they had to meet again.
Moreover, when Ci Nan took them to the Zhao Mansion, the Zhao Mansion did not come out to greet them all. Among the grandchildren's wives, such as Li Shi, the wife of Zhao Shan, the eldest son of the Zhao family, Qian Shi, the wife of the second son Zhao Cong, and Xiao Ji, the wife of the third son Zhao Bai. Ming'er, Zuo, the wife of Zhao Bu, the fourth young master, all of them will meet Sheng Weiqiao for the first time tomorrow.
Although the Li family had made a special trip to Gaomi Prince's Mansion with the Qian family and Zuo family to discuss the matter of denying Zhao Taomei, the ladies of the high family could not bear it. At that time, a group of elders looked at it and laughed. Yan, being affectionate and affectionate is as if there has never been a holiday.
Even the few children they brought with them were obediently coming to salute and say hello, Han Xuan's "cousin".
After the Zhao family and Sheng Weiqiao finished greeting, Princess Gaomi continued to introduce the Qi family. Only then did Sheng Weiqiao know whether the Qi family's biological mother had passed away a long time ago. His father had married the concubine of his first wife, the Miao family, as his stepmother, and everyone secretly called her Xiao Miao.
That little Miao was ten years younger than her elder sister who died young, and actually nine years older than Qi. She was born with snow-skinned beauty, and I don’t know if it was because she had no children, so she had to have a baby. The daughter, who has not renewed her marriage, lacks confidence, has a low eyebrow, and does not have the aura that other matrons should have.
She very carefully exchanged greetings with Sheng Weiqiao and then fell silent.
Not that Ping, the wife of Qi's eldest brother and the wife of Qi's eldest brother, is full of enthusiasm. Her sisters-in-law, Qi's second sister-in-law Ling, third sister-in-law Qian, fourth sister-in-law Jiang, and fifth sister-in-law Li... have to say. In the East, Qi's second sister-in-law Qian Rongniang and Qian Jingniang, the fourth wife of the Zhao family, are half-sisters.
The fifth daughter-in-law of the Qi family, Li, was not related to Li Shengxu.
It seems that Bu Nao's bloodline is relatively distant, so there is no contact between them.
The four Xiangcuo Pingshi asked for silence, and Bu Nao also had a kind attitude and seemed to feel like old friends at the first sight.
Sheng Weiqiao secretly praised them for their good showmanship. After all, in the side hall just now, could she have seen the disappointment of several ladies from the Qi family after seeing that she and Zhao Taomei did not quarrel. It can be seen that even if the Qi family does not say that they have any malicious intentions, they certainly do not have many good intentions.
At that time, the Qi family's daughters-in-law acted as if their long-lost relatives were finally reunited. Even if they didn't know whether they were pretending on purpose, they were not really capable.
"He is the eldest daughter in the family. There are several younger sisters in Didong who have not left the palace, and several half-year-old nieces. They were all in the side hall at that time. Because there were many people, they called over to avoid being too noisy and disturbing everyone. The purity of the elders." Mrs. Qi took a moment to explain to Sheng Weiqiao, "Let's go out later and ask them to come to me."
Sheng Weiqiao was perfunctory, but she felt lucky in her heart: The Qi family is really prosperous, which is good, otherwise she would not be able to remember who is who!
The Yuan family and the Huang family, who simply came from the east, had a simple population.
The Yuan family didn't get married because of Yuan Liujin. Princess Qingfang was there with Yuan Donglai at that time, and the eldest son Yuan Kai was said to have been taken to the table in front of him by his father.
When Sheng Weiqiao saw Yuan Donglai, he was very worried that the little girl would complain about him beating her by choking her, and then ask her grandmother, Princess Gaomi, to take the decision and collect the feces and stir her up in public... She didn't want Yuan Donglai to see it. Instead of saying anything, she shrank behind Princess Qingfang, as if she had lingering fears.
"Are you afraid of being beaten by him before?" Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, but she felt that the little girl was a bit like an eight-year-old child. Children should be pure and cruel, and they can be cruel at a young age. How can a normal person like the evil eye and the poisonous leg
Of course, if you are unfortunate enough to be in the situation that Rong Suihe was in when you were a child, you won't be able to live without your mind wandering and poisoning your legs.
But in a pampered environment like Yuan Donglai's, if she wanted to be vicious, Sheng Weiqiao would have to think of her cousin Sheng Lianlian who "died" within a few days of meeting her.
Now seeing how the niece still remembers the beating once, it is quite helpful.
There were many people in Bu Nao at that time, and Sheng Weiqiao had no intention of commenting on the goddaughter of the Yuan family, so he followed the example of the Qi family, smiled as if nothing had happened, and passed after a few pleasantries.
Since the Huang family in the east appeared there, it was obvious that the marriage between the Lord of Jian'an County and Huang Wujiu had been decided to come east and cross the Ming Road, and was waiting to go through the process.
There were not many Huang family members, so they only had two sisters-in-law, who were Huang Wu Jiu's cousin and younger sister respectively.
The sister-in-law was quite old. She looked to be less than thirty. Her maiden name was Ruan. Besides the maid, she also led a boy who looked about five or six years old. The boy was particularly well-behaved and lay in the arms of his wet nurse. Be quiet and watch people quietly.
Huang Wujiu's little sister was really very young. She looked like she was about one or two years older than her cousin. She was following the nurse-looking Dongpu step by step. She didn't know if she was frightened by the large number of people at the moment. , walking there in a daze. Sheng Weiqiao greeted her but didn't respond, just stared at her blankly.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ruan noticed it and helped the sister-in-law out of the situation: "That girl in his family never shuts up very much. She likes whoever she looks at! Don't argue with her, princess!"
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said: "Who is willing to argue with such a pretty girl with pink makeup and jade? He also wants to see how good she is."
After a few words of greetings, Mrs. Qi gave her a supplementary introduction: "The Huang family actually has more than just a few people, just a few of the sisters-in-law of Mrs. Buluo's generation, who have been filial piety to their elders in Sangzi. Huang Shilang brought his nephew and his only son with him, and originally wanted to ask the Ruan family to stay in Shu to accompany her mother-in-law, but she refused and insisted on following her husband."
He also said, "She and her husband actually have more than one son, and that child is her biological child, so he is extremely precious and carries it with him wherever he goes. But the other sons and daughters of the concubine are all kept in a remote area. Courtyard, don’t show your face anymore.”
"Is there any difference between direct concubine and concubine?" Although Rong Suihe was asked by the Qi family to investigate Huang Wujiu before, it was only for Huang Wujiu himself, and he didn't care much about his relatives who were not in the same room with him. At that time When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he said, "Looking at that person's age, he is still in his youth. He has stayed in Shu for many years and is separated from his husband. It is too deserted."
Didn't she think there was anything wrong with what Ruan did? Thinking of the incident between Lord Jian'an and Huang Wujiu, she whispered to Qi, "There is an example of that person who refused to return to Sangzi to serve his mother-in-law. After Jian'an came out of the cabinet, even if If there are any ideas over there in Shuzhong, Mr. Huang is too embarrassed to ask Jian'an to go back to Shuzhong to serve the elders."
Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "That's not true."
What she was thinking was that her daughter was betrothed to Huang Wujiu, and her father-in-law wanted to have a stronger relationship with the Huang family. So how could he ask the Lord of Jian'an County to live in the middle of Shu for a long time and be separated from her husband for a long time
However, that didn't make her happy, because since the Huang family had the custom of leaving the main wife in the family home to serve the elders, who knew if Huang Wujiu's mother and grandmother would be alienated and ostracized by the Lord of Jian'an County because of this
She was slightly lost in thought. Over there, Princess Gaomi saw that everyone present had finished meeting. Fang Cuo Sheng Weiqiao said, "Originally, my cousin Zhao also asked me to come here, so we, Aunt Chai, went because it would be inconvenient for them to go out tomorrow."
When Princess Chai passed away, Sheng Weiqiao happened to return to Nanfeng County, so she was not in Chang'an.
But I also heard about it afterwards and learned that the death of the aunt was not simple. She was suspected of being harmed by someone, and the most suspected person was Concubine Meng or the Meng family.
Firstly, Sheng Weiqiao and Princess Chai were strangers; secondly, after King Guangling openly betrayed King Gaomi at the Chongwu Banquet last year, the relationship between the two palaces took a turn for the worse. Before that, Sheng Weiqiao came in and went to the palace to have an affair with Empress Dowager Meng. , but did not go to Guangling Prince's Mansion to pay a visit, which can be seen.
So naturally I won't say much at this moment, just nod my head to show my bright red.
Although that meeting was tedious, it was quite leisure for Jie Dong: with Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Ming, Xuan Yu Feng, Xiao Miao, Ji and other elders there, it was too late for Princess Gaomi to socialize with them, so naturally they would not come back. Pulling the little daughter-in-law who doesn't like it.
As for the young female relatives of the same generation, they have all heard of the new princess who entered the Mi Zhen County Prince's Palace. She has a very spoiled and fierce temper, and she moves her legs whenever she wants. She has no consciousness of saving face for her relatives. She was particularly warm and polite when being watched by a group of elders just now, so don't offend her face to face even if you don't like her.
At that time, the elders' attention had turned away. Of course, they would not take the initiative to talk to Sheng Weiqiao. After all, they were not familiar with him. Who knew what his likes and taboos were
If he accidentally offends her and gets into a fight on the spot, wouldn't it mean that he would be laughed at
So Sheng Weiqiao looked around and saw that everyone who had a crush on her greeted her with a smile, but if it went further... everyone kept their mouths shut tightly and had no intention of talking to each other. It was obvious that they had made up their minds and kept away from her.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't think anything of the situation, but was happy to take some time off.
Mrs. Qi of Buluo used herself to save others, and was afraid that she would be unhappy when she was left out. She was just about to find a topic to shut up with her. At that time, Aunt Zhao came in to report that the banquet had been prepared and the time was almost up. Weng Rong Do people hold a banquet on the spot
Princess Gaomi had not been out and about for many years. Although she was not an orthodox lady, and her social skills had been in elementary school, she was a little bored by that time. After hearing this, she suggested that everyone sit down.
A group of people gathered around the princess and arrived at the banquet hall. I pushed him to let the others take their seats. Sheng Weiqiao looked around and was surprised to find Huan Yehe walking at the seat not far away.
