Chapter 43: The Congregation
Halfway through June in a blink of an eye, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the church meeting of the Yansheng family is open at this time, and no one has any objections.
Mrs. Wei has already changed her clothes, with a forehead embroidered by Wei An on her head, a peacock on the top is lifelike, looking at the past as if it is alive, the third lady asked to understand that it is Wei An's craftsmanship, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, a few days ago Wei Yuyou was still shouting about Wei An's pattern, she also sneered----- Wei An has no one to teach since he was a child, and he doesn't hold a needle or a thread all year round, and she wants to be a joke.
But now that she has taken a look, it is Wei Yuyou, who is taught by Master Xue, and she has to take a step back in front of Wei An's craftsmanship, she was stunned, remembering her previous speculation, her face was a little unsightly.
In the past, I only thought that the county lord of Changning didn't care about the children at all, but now it seems that Wei An has learned everything he should learn.
Mrs. Wei waited for a while, waited for everyone, beckoned Wei An, and the group went out of the second gate together, she led Wei An and the third lady in a carriage, and the second lady led Wei Yuyou and Wei Yulin to sit in a colorful tassel eight treasures jade car, and the group turned around Zhuque Street, passed through Jiufu Lane, and arrived at the Yansheng Mansion.
Yansheng Mansion is located near the imperial city, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have great respect for his family, especially to Emperor Longqing, re-assigned the house to the Yansheng Mansion, and gave them the mansion of King Xiang in the past, which is the supreme glory.
The third master helped Mrs. Wei get out of the carriage, and the housekeeper had already arranged a small sedan chair to wait, and respectfully sent them to the Hanging Flower Gate.
Yansheng Mansion is a big place, it used to be the residence of the prince, there are many regulations, from the main gate to the hanging flower gate also took a small half an hour, the three ladies helped Mrs. Wei to get off the sedan chair, and heard someone shouting behind her, looked back, subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Wei first, and then shouted with a smile on her face.
Princess Zhennan's eyes fell on Wei An, she was no longer as arrogant as before, and she didn't rush up to be coquettish and infatuated without knowing the current affairs, hoping that others would know how she had a superior status in the Zhennan Palace, and followed behind Mrs. Wei with low eyebrows, it was really different.
She smiled and asked the old lady Wei to say goodbye, stretched out her hand to help the old princess down, and then said: "This is really a coincidence, just got off the carriage, we saw that the car in front of us was from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and we happened to bump into it." ”
The old princess came out of the sedan chair, first glanced at Mrs. Wei, saw Mrs. Wei's gloomy face, sighed silently, and then went to see Wei An, who had already saluted with the third lady and others.
In the past, the avant-garde old lady disliked Guard's most and didn't know how to be polite, but now Guard's heart finally understands, but the old princess's heart is even more sour.
The grievances of the two families are well known in everyone's hearts, and the two families met together, and after a while, a woman in her thirties wearing an autumn-colored gown and a blue satin pleated skirt tied at the bottom greeted her with a smile, and first saluted the old princess and Mrs. Wei: "The nephew and daughter-in-law have asked the two aunts to say goodbye." ”
She is the daughter-in-law of Yan Shenggong, she is clever and funny, she is the righteous sister of Emperor Longqing, the daughter of the Cui family, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and she is very liked by Mrs. Kong.
She only came out later, and there was a younger master at the Hanging Flower Gate, it seemed that she was sent out to fight the fire after hearing that the two old men of the Zhennan Wangfu and the Dingbei Hou Mansion had met together, and everyone tacitly listened to her jokes with a smile, and the atmosphere was not too stiff to look at.
After saying a few words, Mrs. Kong Er smiled and led people to the flower hall of the inner courtyard reception, and held Mrs. Wei's arm with a smile without a trace: "I just returned to the capital, and I haven't had time to visit you yet......"
She followed the second master Kong to serve outside, and she had only recently returned to the capital, and quietly led the old lady Wei and the old Zhennan princess to sit separately, seeing that her concubine had gone up to flatter the old princess, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and led the topic to Wei An: "This is Changning's eldest daughter?" I just heard Mrs. Chen mention ......" and said with a smile: "Originally, after the Shangsi Festival, we should have done a ceremony for Xiao Jiu, but I didn't expect us to be delayed on the way, there is no way, this day can only be postponed, and if it is delayed, it will be delayed until now...... Now that I have finally returned to the capital, everyone will have to come and go often in the future. ”
The third lady sighed in her heart, Mrs. Chen mentioned it? Why did Mrs. Chen mention Wei Qi in a good manner? Did he say something about Puci'an to exonerate Chen Mianmian and put all the blame on Wei Yuyou?
Just when it came to the fact that the little sisters would come and go with each other often in the future, Miss Kong Jiu's disdainful voice came through the twelve glass screens: "Who wants to communicate with her?!" ”
Miss Kong Jiu's love and hate is clear, but her style of acting is completely different from that of other girls from the Yansheng family, and it is not something to praise for showing love and hate on such an occasion, Mrs. Kong Er frowned, and was about to speak, when she saw Wei Yumin, the wife of the Hou Shizi of Pingyang, who entered the door later, laughed, and then asked: "Miss Kong Jiu doesn't like the flower party held by the girls in the capital?" I think that the fun of the girls in Suzhou is not quite the same as that of our Shengjing, and Miss Kong Jiu thinks that the things that our Shengjing girls play with are too childish. ”
Quietly, the target of Miss Kong Jiu was changed from Wei An to all the girls in Shengjing, and Mrs. Kong's face was a little ugly, and before she could answer, she heard the old princess also laugh: "No, Miss Kong Jiu's water spirit is raised in the water town at a glance, and our girls in Shengjing are far worse than her." ”
As soon as he sang and harmonized, he immediately put Miss Kong Jiu on the fire.
Mrs. Kong Er was terrified, she knew that Wei Qi was the lifeblood of the old princess, and the two husbands and wives in the south of the Zhennan Mansion were famous for spoiling their children, how the old princess spoiled Changning back then, and now how the old princess spoiled Wei An, there was no room at all......
It's just the owner of the door......
But after all, it was her own daughter who spoke out first, and Mrs. Kong Er couldn't get off the stage.
The Yansheng family has to hand over a post to Mrs. Wei this time, and Mrs. Wei has to come, of course, the purpose is not to make trouble for herself, although Mrs. Wei's noble status is a super fate, but after all, she is old, and no one wants to invite such an old and respected old feudal monarch to come, if something goes wrong, the two families will be embarrassed.
As the new favorite of the current Emperor Longqing, of course, they acted on Emperor Longqing's face, so they invited Mrs. Wei to come and let everyone in the world take a look, Emperor Longqing is not really the Marquis of Rongchang Mansion for the son of Rongchang Marquis for Mrs. Wei.
