The next day, Mrs. Li delivered a post to the residence of Uncle Zhongqin (the newly awarded title of the house town).
Mrs. Fang received the post from Mrs. Li Shilang, and said to the maids who were close to her in a strange way: "A greeting card from the servant's house? Is our general in touch with Li Shilang?"
Pearl and Linglong shook their heads after thinking for a while. Pearl said: "Ma'am, didn't you always say that the general doesn't like to associate with civil servants, that those literati speak in a polite way, and their stomachs are twisted. Listening to them, I feel tired!"
Mrs. Fang knew that her master, because he served as a general under General Zhao in the previous court, had only a casual relationship with both civil and military officials in the court. On weekdays, there are only a few close friends of her in the boudoir, and some wives who love flowers and plants, and have some contacts. Li Shilang's wife has never met before, okay
"If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, I don't know what Mrs. Li wants today?" Mrs. Fang said to herself.
Amber said quickly: "I see, she is a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken—she has no good intentions!"
"What are you talking about? She is willing to be this weasel, Ma'am, I am not willing to be a 'chicken'!" Mrs. Fang gave her a sideways glance reproachfully, and feigned anger.
Hu Po hurriedly patted herself on the mouth lightly, begging for mercy: "Look at this broken mouth of this servant, who always can't hold back the door! This servant said something wrong, please punish me!"
"Forget it this time! Remember to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, so as not to cause trouble outside. Madam, I want to protect you, but I may not be able to save you!!" Madam Fang said to these girls who almost grew up by her side , is still relatively tolerant on weekdays. However, what should be taught still has to be taught!
Linglong hurriedly came out to help the little sister, "Speaking of Mrs. Li Shilang's visit, this servant thinks it might be related to the young lady?"
"Cao'er? Cao'er, since he came to Beijing, he has either been on business in Huangzhuang, or stayed at home to play with Lin'er. He rarely interacts with officials and officials in Beijing. How could he recognize Mrs. Li?" For fear that her godmother would worry about her, Xiaocao would report good news but not bad news when she came back, and only told about her appointment with Princess Minglan and Jingzhong Shuangshu to go to Huangzhuang for an outing. About Li Meirou making things difficult for her, he didn't mention a word.
Linglong pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the young lady has nothing to do with Mrs. Li, when she participated in the Flower Fight last time, she had some conflicts with the young lady of the Li family..."
"What? Miss Li's family bullied our family?" Mrs. Fang sat up straight, frowned and looked at the post in her hand, wondering if she should let Mrs. Li Shilang hang out for a while longer! Regarding her daughter, Mrs. Fang thinks she knows a lot about it. That child, Xiaocao, never takes the initiative to cause trouble. However, if someone provokes her, she is not the master who swallows her anger.
Sure enough, Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Ma'am, with Miss Li's rank, how can she bully our girl? Of course she was bullied by her!"
Mrs. Fang threw the post aside and asked with great interest, "Oh? Tell me, what's going on?"
Linglong said that on the day of the flower fight, Li Meirou used her daughter's background as an issue, and wanted to isolate her, but was refuted by her own girl and became speechless, and finally became the one isolated by the ladies. My own girl has won the favor of Princess Minglan and the Shuangshu of the capital!
"Happy!" Mrs. Fang patted the table, and the smile on her lips deepened, "Humph! How could Li Shilang's background be any better? But he is a poor student who can't carry his shoulders or hands. If it wasn't for the help from the Yue family, We can’t even make up the travel expenses to go to Beijing to catch the exam! At the beginning of our founding of the country, all industries were waiting to be flourished, and the court urgently needed talents, so people like Li Shilang who succeeded in scientific examinations were left in the capital! All of them have to be released to the outside world, no one in more than ten or twenty years, it is even more difficult to become an official in the capital! Her natal family, Li Meirou, is no more than a local gentry, and that girl grew up in the countryside. She only came to the capital How many years? Just put on airs and look down on others?! She deserves it too?!"
"No wonder Miss said that the more inferior a person is, the more they want to hit others and seek psychological balance. Miss Li probably belongs to this kind of person!" Linglong quite agrees with Miss's theory.
Mrs. Fang looked at her capable big girl with a funny face. Because of Linglong's thoroughness and prudence, she was sent to work with her daughter several times. Unexpectedly, this girl gradually became a staunch supporter of her daughter.
In my daughter's courtyard, there is no shortage of girls, but a daughter-in-law who is in charge. Linglong will be eighteen in the spring of next year, which is the age for marriage. Mrs. Fang was thinking about which young steward in the mansion would have a bright future, so she betrothed Linglong to her. At that time, one of the couple will work in the outer courtyard, and the other will serve by the daughter's side. After a few years of training, when the girl gets married, both of them will be married as dowries. One is in charge of the outer courtyard, and the other is in charge of the inner house...
Linglong was sized up by her wife for a long time, and she asked softly, "Madam, what's wrong with the words of a slave?"
"No!" Mrs. Fang thought for a while, and decided to test this girl to see what her plans were for the future. If she wanted to be released and restored to good status, she would not force it, "Linglong, you are not too young! Do you have someone you like?"
Linglong blushed suddenly when Madam asked her such a question, and changed the subject with a little embarrassment: "Madam, Li Shilang's wife is still waiting outside! See you, or not, please tell me !"
Mrs. Fang laughed a few times, and said: "Okay, okay! It's not the right time today, let me let you go first! However, you have to have a rule in your heart. As the maid of the Earl's Mansion, you are very handsome. I've wronged you by marrying a small family and a small household to be a decent lady! Of course, if you want to stay in the mansion, I'll ask the master if there are any young stewards with a promising future in the outer courtyard... "
"Madam..." Linglong's face was as red as the setting sun at dusk, and she tried hard to change the topic, "I heard that Li Shilang and his wife spoiled their daughter so much that they could go to heaven. You said that Mrs. Li came to the door, could it be Do you want to help Miss Li's family get justice?"
"Ask for justice?" Mrs. Fang snorted coldly, and said, "If she dares to mention the Douhuahui, I can spray her in the face! Their family has only been out of mud legs for a long time, and they will look down on my daughter? Go! Take Mrs. Li 'Please' come in, I'll meet her!!"
At this time, Li Shilang's wife was in the carriage, and told Li Meirou, who was dressed as a girl, to say, "Rou'er, mother knows that you have been wronged this time! However, if you can understand the righteousness so well, your father will definitely make up for your wrongedness in the future." Yes! At that time, if you are embarrassed to speak, just keep your head down, with an expression of knowing that you are wrong. No matter what the lady says, you just bear it... "
"Mom, I got it!" Li Meirou was so annoyed! That lowly girl, I don't know how to make Yang Jun Wang protect her! King Yangjun is not only a relative of the emperor, but also a favorite of the emperor. Although she is deep in her boudoir, she has also heard that the king of Yangjun is a person who will take revenge. If you offend him, your father's future will be over!
Li Meirou was taken to the capital when she was six years old, and she had already remembered. After seeing the pleasure brought to her by the prosperity and power of the capital, she couldn't stay there for a moment if she was allowed to go back to a small backwater. She doesn't want to leave the capital because she wants to apologize to a lowly girl! Han Xin has also been humiliated in the crotch. For the sake of her father's future and her own future, she decided to endure the humiliation!
After doing sufficient psychological construction, Li Meirou appeared extremely well-behaved. This made Mrs. Li very gratified, and felt sorry for her daughter's caring.
"When I enter the inner courtyard later, I will accidentally knock over the hand stove. While changing clothes, you can also change the clothes back. In this way, in the eyes of others, I just brought two girls in. Uncle Zhongqin's residence. Your little sisters won't know that you came to apologize to Master Yu..." Mrs. Li was also worried about protecting her daughter's face.
Li Meirou hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you said that the surname Yu will publicize it. By stepping on my face, to achieve her reputation?"
Mrs. Li pondered for a moment, and said: "Later, I will meet Mrs. Yu. If she is really that kind of person, mother will think of other ways!"
When Linglong came to invite someone, Mrs. Li got out of the carriage with her daughter dressed as a maid and a maid.
"Mrs. Li, I kept you waiting! Our young master was a bit annoying in the morning, and Madam took great pains to comfort him!" Linglong glanced at Li Meirou, who had her head down, and felt that this maid looked familiar, so she took another look. .
Mrs. Li stepped forward quietly, blocking her sight, and said with a smile: "When a child is this old, he likes to cling to others. It's only been two years. When he grows up, it will be difficult for him to get close to you!"
Sure enough, after entering the inner courtyard, Mrs. Li "accidentally" knocked over the hand stove, and the silver frost and charcoal ash inside stained her clothes. She pretended to be apologetic and said: "Look, I am old and my hands and feet are not flexible. You can't go to see Mrs. Fang like this, how rude! This girl, can you find a room and let me change clothes before going visit?"
It's only been a few days since the Dou Hua Hui, Linglong still has a deep impression of Li Meirou. At this moment, she recognized Li Meirou who was dressed as a maid. Seeing Mrs. Li's behavior, she already knew her plan in her heart, and sneered in her heart: This sneaky behavior is definitely not to find fault with the door. If Li Meirou took advantage of it, it would definitely be known to the whole world.
Thinking about it again, two days ago, in order to vent his anger on his young lady, the king of Yangjun publicized the fruits and vegetables in the shop and banned the sale of them to Li Shilang's house forever. Could it be that these two girls came here for this matter? Acknowledge your mistake openly, maybe my young lady has a lot of adults, and I don't have the same knowledge as her. But seeing the acting of the two of them, Linglong commented on Miss Li in her heart: "I want to be a cousin, and I want to set up a memorial archway!"
