Shi Shi frowned upon hearing this.
Among these noble ladies, Shi's status is nothing. She has no husband's family to rely on now, and she has an orchard in her hands, but she can't say that it is a big property, but her brother is highly regarded by the emperor, and Hua Ning is also friendly with her. This is how we can hold today's Tanabata banquet.
Most of the people who came were Jingmen ladies and Gaomen ladies, and they were all people who wanted to be respected. Who would make trouble at such a time
Ye Jiao was also a little strange. She couldn't remember eating the lychees she had peeled in her hands. She just looked at Shi Shi and said softly, "Want to go out and have a look?"
Because there were other people in the room, Shi Shi didn't want to make a big deal, so she whispered, "No hurry." Then she looked at the old woman and said, "Can you see who it is?"
"One of them is the eldest girl from Master Lu's family, and the other one can't tell who it is, but she looks like a girl who hasn't left the court yet."
"Noisy in the garden?"
"That's not true. As soon as there was a sign, the Meng family girl asked someone to invite him to the bamboo forest to the west of the garden."
Hearing this, Shi Shi and Ye Jiao looked at each other, knowing that most of this Miss Meng was Meng Zhilan.
Shi Shi made a circle in his heart, remembering that this Lord Lu was also an official in the Privy Council, so he should be Shi Tianrui's deputy.
Since it is Shi Tianrui's colleague, Shi Shi naturally has to take care of it, so he got up and said: "Go, go and see."
Ye Jiao also spat out the lychee pit in her mouth, threw it into the porcelain jar on the side, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and followed.
When we entered the garden, there was still a lively scene inside.
The girls who had not left the cabinet gathered together, pierced seven-hole needles, and cast them to test their skills. There were also twos and threes who went to the garden to borrow the dew on the leaves. According to legend, the dew was the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which was smeared on the eyes and hands. , can make people eye-catching.
On the other hand, the married women are not idle either. Naturally, they don't need to pray for marriage. They gather in one place to play double land, or make an appointment to throw pots.
This relieved Shi Shi's heart. After all, she was the one who organized this banquet. If something went wrong, I was afraid that she would be shameless in the end.
She didn't look nervous at all, and greeted the lady who passed by with a smile.
Ye Jiao watched from the side and found that Shi knew everyone she saw. She could not only name them, but also tell their identities. She remembered them clearly even if they were relatives other than Baganzi.
For example, the child who just passed by, who seems to be the third brother-in-law's aunt's uncle's second sister-in-law's aunt in Shi's hometown, made Ye Jiao feel a headache.
When the two walked into the sheep intestines path, and the surroundings were much cleaner, Ye Jiao held Shi Shi's hand and said with emotion, "Yingxiu really has a good memory. It's really not easy to memorize all these things."
Shi Shi smiled and patted the back of Ye Jiao's hand, and replied softly, "After all, I've lived in the capital for a long time, so it's normal for me to be familiar."
But there is another sentence, Shi Shi did not say clearly.
When she was at Wen's house, she lived a dull life. It wasn't because she lacked food or clothing, but when she returned home, she had to fight against several concubines, and she always looked at that idiot Sun looking for trouble. Shi felt annoyed, so he often went out and walked around, and he knew more people.
This also has some advantages, at least now that she is living alone, the people she was friends with before will give her a little face.
Shi didn't mind whether they were sincere or fake. The elder brother belonged to her, and her friends belonged to her. If you have a backer, you should rely on them well. Her people are the most pitiful, afraid that they don't know how much breath they hold behind their backs.
It's just that Shi Shi never told Ye Jiao, after all, people have to look forward. She also has Liu Rong, so there is no need to always take out the old sesame seeds and rotten millet to seek sympathy.
Ye Jiao treats her well, no matter what status she is, Shishi is only willing to tell her happy things.
But now that Ye Jiao came out with her, Shi Shi was still a little hesitant, so he stopped before going out, and said to Ye Jiao, "Although the women who come here are all shameless, they won't make too much trouble. It's embarrassing, but the noise will inevitably smear the eyes and ears, Jiao Niang should not go and see."
Ye Jiao shook her head lightly, and said, "Miss Meng Wu is also outside, I'm here to see her."
Shi Shi only remembered that the Meng family girl was outside, so she stopped talking and walked out with Ye Jiao.
As soon as he went out, he could see the old woman standing outside the bamboo forest.
Since there are only fruit trees nearby, and they are not very tall, it will inevitably get hotter in summer, so the Shi family asked people to plant a bamboo forest in the south.
Even in today's dog days, you can feel the coolness of the bamboo leaves blowing in the wind, and the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves is particularly pleasant.
After seeing Shi Shi and Ye Jiao, the old woman dodged slightly to the side and gave a quiet salute.
Ye Jiao recognized that she was the mother-in-law of the Meng family who had come to report before, and thinking that Miss Meng Wu was inside, Ye Jiao walked in with some curiosity.
As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I heard a miserable sobbing sound, and then a clear female voice sounded: "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, and someone else thinks you know how to be ashamed, but who cares about your face and skin? Can a woman do such a thing to you?"
Shi Shi could hear the words were very powerful, so he quickened his pace, and then saw a blue-skirted woman standing there with her hips crossed, and the girl in Yuebaiyi was sitting on the ground. Obviously, the movement just now was They made a noise.
Probably because these two people were too conspicuous, Ye Jiao and Shi Shi didn't have time to find where Miss Meng Wu was when they heard the woman in the blue dress say, "Since you are shamelessly married to my father as a concubine, you are proud of yourself. Despicable, then you should know that you shouldn't come to these occasions in the future, and who are you crying and crying now?"
These words seemed to irritate the woman on the ground, she cried even louder, and her face could not be covered with a handkerchief.
Ye Jiao stared at her profile face, and only reacted after a while—
Isn't this the fourth girl Zhu
Shi Shi also recognized the two of them, so she stopped Ye Jiao and did not step forward, she just said in a low voice, "The one in the blue dress is Mrs. Lu, and I think you recognize the one in the white dress this month. Zhu family's direct daughter."
There was some doubt in Ye Jiao's eyes, and she said softly, "Isn't it saying that the Zhu family were all reprimanded out of Beijing?"
Shi Shi lowered his voice again, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said: "The Zhu family has been reprimanded out of Beijing, but now His Majesty Rende, let them have time to deal with their children's marriage, otherwise If you are guilty, I am afraid that those girls will not be able to marry."
For this alone, Shi Shi felt that Chu Chengyun was a benevolent monarch.
It is rare for an ordinary emperor to have such a tolerance. The Zhu family is related to the two kings. In light of this, it is also the life of the entire family. However, Chu Chengyun can still wait for them to finish their children's marriage before issuing an order to punish them. Heart is really not easy.
However, the Zhu family's marriage also caused a lot of trouble in the capital, adding to the discussion after tea and dinner. Among them, the fourth girl Zhu Zhu was mentioned the most.
Seeing that they were still arguing for a while, Shi Shi continued to say to Ye Jiao, "Originally, the Zhu family's marriage to the fourth daughter was a handsome man. Although he is an official, his life will be better. Now she is the mistress of the house, but Miss Zhu Si doesn't look down on her, so she insists on finding a way to stay in the capital. She doesn't know how to get together with Master Lu, who is over forty years old. The original betrothed married his concubine. Female."
Little Ginseng couldn't tell what kind of concubines and concubines. After all, most of the people she was in contact with were only a lady, and she seldom took concubines. Ye Jiao didn't understand these things deeply.
But after hearing what Shi said, Ye Jiao thought about it and said, "She seems to be at a loss?"
Shi Shi nodded lightly: "It's a big loss."
Being a concubine by a concubine, this is to make the noble girl next to you despise it, but the Zhu family was convicted, and the whole family moved out of the capital, even if she stayed in this prosperous place, but there was no maiden family to rely on, these days are only afraid of As sad as possible.
Miss Zhu Si didn't know that Shi Shi was talking to her not far away, and at this moment, Miss Zhu Si was vomiting blood.
She really wanted to come this time, because she wanted to meet her old friends.
The life in the Lu family was actually very difficult. Fourth Miss Zhu was uninformed and didn't have much heart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do so many stupid things.
She was originally a spoiled girl in her family. She thought that being a concubine was a way to win the sympathy and pity of men, but after she became a concubine, she knew what it was like to kneel down every day, and she had no family to rely on. Even the eye-catching woman in the house can bully her.
That's why Fourth Girl Zhu wanted to find another way for herself.
For this reason, she begged Master Lu for a long time, so that she could get a chance to go out on the Qixi Festival.
Probably because she herself disliked her current status as a concubine, so she did not dress up as a woman, but still wore the moon white dress she liked, and wanted to find someone while there were many people entering the door.
Who knew that before entering the door, it was such a coincidence that she was recognized by Lady Lu who had just entered the door, and she immediately wanted to come up and scold her.
On such occasions, if Zhu Si was allowed in, the Lu family's face would be lost to next year!
On the other hand, Miss Meng Wu was quicker and quicker. Here, someone stopped Miss Lu, and there, the old woman stopped Zhu Si and dragged him out.
Because the last time I went to clean up Zhu Si were also these women, so they were very familiar with doing things.
Zhu Si didn't recognize these people, she just felt anxious and panicked, but she couldn't do anything but cry, but Miss Lu didn't eat her. He never spit out indecent words, but just saying what Sang scolds Huai said can make Zhu Siou die.
There is really no other way, Zhu Si can only look at Miss Lu with a high face and say: "Girl, there is a difference in honor and inferiority, how can I say that I am also your elder..."
"Snapped!"
Miss Lu is not a good person. She has a stubborn and arrogant temperament, and she doesn't need anyone else. No pity, just said coldly: "Shut up, my mother is only one, what are you, and dare to tell me your superiority and inferiority?"
She was also very angry, she only felt that her father was not good enough, and she was fooled by this woman and brought it home. As a result, the innocent door of the Lu family became the laughing stock of the whole city, and even ordinary people could say a few words about Lu The right and wrong of the Zhu family, how can you make Miss Lv angry
And Zhu Si really cried this time, but he didn't know whether he was hurt by being beaten or angry by Lady Lu.
Seeing that he had already moved his hand, Shi Shi could no longer remain silent, so he took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Miss Lu? You should dissipate such a big anger first, and be careful with the pain in your hand."
Although Miss Lu wanted to tie Zhu Si on the spot and throw it here, but facing Shi Shi, she still resisted her anger and showed a smile, saying: "Mrs Shi Fu'an, my family affairs have caused a lot of noise to Mrs Shi, It's really mine, not mine." Then Lady Lu said to Ye Jiao, "Mrs. Qi."
Ye Jiao smiled at her, but did not speak, but turned her eyes and looked around.
Here, Shi Shi and Mrs. Lu were chatting and talking about the scene, but Zhu Si was tied up by the old woman and her mouth was gagged, but Ye Jiao didn't care, after all, neither the Lu family nor the Zhu family She had nothing to do with her, Ye Jiao just wanted to see where her younger siblings were in the future.
Soon, Ye Jiao saw Miss Meng Wu standing not far away.
The woman under the green bamboo was wearing a green bamboo robe, with a slender figure and a pretty face. Seeing Ye Jiao looking at her, she smiled before saying a word, stepped forward, and bowed slightly, "Mrs. Qi."
Ye Jiao immediately returned a salute. Ye Jiao had always kept Liu's teaching to her in her heart, and all kinds of etiquette had become a conditioned reflex.
Then Ye Jiao looked at Miss Meng Wu and said, "You are Huiniang's younger sister." Looking at her brows, she thought about something like Queen Meng, and her temperament was even more calm.
Miss Meng Wu smiled and nodded, but she was a little nervous.
In fact, Ye Jiao is a person, and Queen Meng has already told her about it. Because the Meng family is going to marry the Qi family, then the fifth girl and Ye Jiao are sisters-in-law, and they must move around. Queen Meng said to her before: "Jiao Niang has a good temper. If you treat her well, she will treat you well. Remember not to use any other calculations on her. You have to remember that home and everything are prosperous."
In Meng Zhilan's heart, her sister Meng Huirou was the smartest woman in the world. Women who can sit firmly in the back are naturally different, and women who can be favored by Queen Meng are also extremely powerful characters.
Before she came, Miss Meng Wu rubbed two or three handkerchiefs, her heart was pounding.
Even though she had met Qi Saburo several times by chance, Miss Meng Wu had never been so nervous.
But seeing Ye Jiao at this moment, Miss Meng Wu's heart suddenly calmed down.
This is indeed a very powerful woman, but what is powerful is not shrewd calculation, but pure clarity that can see the end at a glance.
Miss Meng Wu somewhat understands why her sister likes Ye Jiao. The more swayed her heart is, the more she likes a clean mind. Even if Miss Meng Wu just glanced at this lady of the Ye family, she knew that she was different. .
In terms of making friends, Miss Meng Wu and Queen Meng have surprisingly consistent views.
Ye Jiao didn't know that in this short period of time, the pretty girl in front of her had already had so many thoughts.
She just smiled and said, "I always heard Saburo talk about you before, but now, looking at you, she is really a good girl."
Miss Meng Wu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, her ears were slightly red, and she asked in a low voice, "I don't know... What did he say about me?"
The maid who was serving Miss Meng Wu looked at her in surprise. Her own girl is not usually like this. Even if she is happy with the Qi family Saburo in private, she never speaks to others, for fear of being called dignified, but she is very frank now.
Ye Jiao didn't really think about it, she just smiled and said, "If you say you're smart, you're gentle, but he won't tell me and his second brother too much, after all, he doesn't know about you. Woolen cloth."
Having said this, Miss Meng Wu laughed again, and said something stupid in her heart.
It seems that everyone in the circle knows that the two families are going to marry, but Qi Saburo himself does not know.
But she is not in a hurry. Queen Meng said before that Qi Saburo is different from the men next to him. He looks good-tempered, but he is actually very stubborn. If he feels that he is not stable, he will definitely not be able to decide to marry.
After waiting for a while, when Qi Ming and Xiao Yuanbai's filing together comes to an end, Qi Saburo's house can be cleaned up, and then it will be logical to talk about the marriage.
And when Ye Jiao was talking to the fifth girl Meng Wu, the fourth girl on the ground was listening all the time.
Because of their proximity, the words of the two entered her ears.
Hearing this, Zhu Si's eyes widened.
Co-author Qi Jia Saburo is related to the Meng family
Co-authoring yourself was robbing her son-in-law from the Prime Minister's Mansion
This... what is this...
But Miss Zhu Si was too late to react now, her mouth was blocked, her hands were tied, and Zhu Si, who was completely immobile, didn't even have the chance to apologize.
Miss Meng Wu was not in a hurry, her expression was very calm, she just talked to Ye Jiao, as if she didn't see her at all.
Only when holding Ye Jiao's hand and returning to the gate of the orchard together, did Miss Meng Wu gently turn her head to look at Zhu Si who was pushed away, her eyes flashing indifferently.
She has never held any grudge against this person for entanglement with Qi Ming, not only because she despised Zhu Si, but also because she believed in Qi Saburo.
As for Zhu Si getting to this point now, she chose it herself, and Miss Meng Wu never got involved.
If she is really asked to take action, I am afraid that Zhu Si will not be so lucky to find the Lu family to continue.
Individuals have their own predestined ways, and they all walk the road themselves, and they cannot blame others.
When she looked back, Miss Meng Wu regained her gentle smile, and heard Ye Jiao say, "Will we go to throw the pot together later?"
Miss Meng Wu said softly, "I'm not good at it, can my sister teach me?"
"Of course." Ye Jiao was also willing to teach her. After she learned it, it would be a pleasure to have someone play with her in the capital in the future.
Miss Meng Wu raised her smiling face, her eyebrows curved.
When she was about to leave the bamboo forest, Ye Jiao remembered something: "Why do you want to help Miss Lu?"
Although it was said that when Zhu Si was making trouble at Qi Ming's place, Miss Meng Wu found someone to throw her away, but Ye Jiao looked at her like Huiniang, and felt proud in her heart. I'm afraid this time, it's not just for the sake of being jealous and other trivial matters. .
What's more, that Zhu Si is not qualified to make future younger siblings jealous.
When someone else was changed, Miss Meng Wu would just put it off, but to Ye Jiao, she was very frank: "The Lu family is an official in the Privy Council, and Miss Lu's marriage is an official in the Hanlin Academy, so I naturally want to do this. help."
Ye Jiao blinked, in the capital for so long, just listening to Qi Yun and Shi Shi's words was enough for Ye Jiao to understand what Miss Meng Wu meant.
She is not helping Miss Lu, but helping the future Qi Ming to accumulate contacts and benefits.
Ye Jiao couldn't help but said, "It's really a blessing for Saburo to marry you."
Miss Meng Wu smiled and accepted this compliment without saying a word.
After entering the door, Ye Jiao took Miss Meng Wu to throw the pot together. The two of them clearly met for the first time, but they quickly developed a warm relationship.
Shi Shi didn't like it either, he just smiled and watched, happy that the two future concubines could get along more.
And the people around Ye Jiao and Meng Wu girls playing together watched it and kept it in their hearts.
Although Ye Jiao was born in a businessman, the Qi family had an official Qi Ming, who was of marriageable age.
Now that Ye Jiao and Miss Meng Wu are on good terms, no one can think about it.
So after this banquet, there were a lot of rumors outside.
It's just that the rumors are just rumors, and many people just talk and laugh when they hear it.
It is true that the gap between the two is too big. One is the Qi family who came from a farmer and businessman, and the other is the Meng family with high power. Although it may not be considered heaven and earth, it is also very whimsical. I never thought that they would come together.
And those women who had guessed at the beginning gradually felt that the news was too untrue, and gradually stopped mentioning it.
But just when everyone forgot about it, they heard that the emperor had made a clear decree to marry Qi Ming and the fifth girls of the Meng family.
For a time, the capital shook.
The author has something to say: Qi Ming: Why do so many people outside say that Zhilan and I are getting married? I, I haven't asked yet
[After the imperial decree]
Qi Ming: ...! ! !
Chu Chengyun: The love from the righteous brother and the future brother-in-law.jpg
