Chapter 240: Temptation and Provocation
There are always slightly more banquets in winter than in the other three seasons. On the one hand, this is because the winter weather is cold, and the crowds are not only lively but also warm. On the other hand, winter is also approaching the end of the year, and there is always a feeling that there are more banquets.
For example, today's is the plum blossom viewing party.
Su Zhaoning Ximei, she hadn't gone out to socialize for a while, so she didn't refuse this banquet.
The plum banquet, as the name suggests, is naturally in the plum garden. In the plum garden of this annex, although everyone is divided into male and female guests, in fact, the boundary is not particularly obvious.
At least when Su Zhaoning stood in the garden here admiring the plum blossoms, she could occasionally see her husband Jun Nan Huaixin over there.
Among the female guests, there are women like Su Zhaoning, and there are also those who are like Nan Wanwan.
Because of the ups and downs a few days ago, all the female relatives have heard of Su Zhaoning.
The younger ones are envious of her. Although Su Zhaoning is also a girl from the Hou Mansion, the girl from the Hou Mansion of Chang'an is not the girl of the Hou Ye of Chang'an. Now that she is directly married to Mrs. Dingyuan, not to mention, her in-laws still maintain her like this.
What a blessing!
The older ones went from Su Zhaoning to see Nan Wanwan. Su Zhaoning was indeed not raised in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but she is now the main mother of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. If this mistress is not bad, the girl will not be crooked. Vice versa.
"Mrs. Hou's veil looks very good, like there are patterns on both sides?" An older lady took the initiative to talk to Su Zhaoning.
The lady who spoke, Su Zhaoning had seen it. When she was a guest in the Gu Mansion, although the housewife of the house only came out to eat, she was not only the housewife of the Gu family, but she could vaguely see Gu Yuan's appearance in her appearance, and Su Zhaoning recognized it at a glance.
Since they can be regarded as familiar with each other, Su Zhaoning can speak more openly. She generously handed the handkerchief to Mrs. Gu and said, "Double-sided embroidery is indeed used." I like plum blossoms, so I picked plum blossoms. ”
"What is rare is not the plum blossom pattern, but the pattern on both sides of this veil is actually different." Mrs. Gu happily flipped the handkerchief over and over again several times before handing it back to Su Zhaoning, and she said with regret in her words, "I have heard that Mrs. Hou has said your talent and name for a long time, but now I see that it is indeed worthy of its name." It's just that it would be nice if I could have known you earlier. ”
The meaning of these words is simply not clear, I really want you to be my daughter-in-law.
This Gu family is all well-known for their talents, although Mrs. Gu, who is a deep woman, has not had such a reputation, but after listening to Mrs. Gu's words, everyone has no doubts about Su Zhaoning's talent.
Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man. In addition to talent and learning, moral conduct is of course also necessary.
Some ladies deliberately mentioned old things: "It is said that it is better to be famous than to meet." When I met Mrs. Hou today, I really understood this sentence. Look at your slender fingers, that is, the one who opens his eyes and speaks nonsense, will make up something like that. ”
Every sentence is alluding to something, but it is not directly singled.
The ladies who were sitting close to each other turned their eyes to Su Zhaoning at the same time.
Su Zhaoning glanced at the lady who was the first to mention the rumor, and then replied, "Thank you Mrs. Xu for your compliment." Mrs. Xu also impressed me, this plum blossom brew is so fragrant, it doesn't look like a wine at all. ”
Mrs. Xu laughed when she heard this, and she followed the topic raised by Su Zhaoning: "Mrs. Hou praised it falsely. This plum blossom brew is indeed not only made this winter. ”
"Could it be that it was brewed last year and buried under the snow?" Su Zhaoning looked curious.
Her sincere and consultative appearance greatly pleased Mrs. Xu, who wanted to pick on her stubble.
The direction of Mrs. Xu's topic was unconsciously carried away by Su Zhaoning, far away from the rumors of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
By the time Xu Shi reacted, the topic had already opened several times, and it was difficult to talk about it again.
Su Zhaoning's behavior is very commendable in the eyes of most people. After all, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, even if you are really wronged as a bride, you can't talk too much about your in-laws' affairs outside.
Just now, Xu was clearly digging a pit for Su Zhaoning, and Su Zhaoning not only didn't jump down, but also returned it by the way.
Everyone knows that Su Zhaoning's word "also" has several meanings.
If Xu really praised Su Zhaoning, Su Zhaoning also praised her sincerely.
If Xu is insinuating, Su Zhaoning may not be able to misinterpret these words.
It's not good for anyone.
The topic was tentatively here, and some people were afraid of Nan Wanwan. This Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is still a bride, and her sister-in-law may not be bad by then.
But except for these few people who lack momentum and have to rely on stepping on their new daughter-in-law to find a proud family, most of them are very satisfied with Su Zhaoning's handling methods.
Choosing a wife and choosing a virtuous person, and not saying that choosing a daughter-in-law is stupid. If you are really slapped in the face and don't know how to fight back, that's stupid.
was a little satisfied with Su Zhaoning, the housemother, and several families intended to let their daughters talk to Nan Wanwan and get along.
A young girl took the initiative to invite Nan Wanwan and said: "Miss Nan, there is a stream by the plum tree over there, let's go to flow the winding water, how about competing for poetry?" ”
Nan Wanwan never knew how to write the word "afraid", so she immediately nodded in agreement.
So, the girls were temporarily separated from the ladies.
Seeing the girls having a good time, the ladies were relieved.
Su Zhaoning actually took a serious look at this group of ladies.
Nan Wanwan's marriage has been put in front of Mrs. Wu. The Chen family is temporarily out of work, and the rest of the family doesn't mean that all of them can't.
Su Zhaoning had the experience of Chen Renhe, so he had to pay extra attention to this matter.
Although those ladies were no longer obviously inquiring, they still paid a lot of attention to Su Zhaoning.
After all, this Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is a new woman.
Friends with Mrs. Gu were a little more frequent, so he asked in a low voice, "Have you met this Mrs. Hou in the past?" ”
When Mrs. Gu thought of Su Zhaoning's double-sided embroidered handkerchief, her heart ached. Her husband, daughter, and son are all talented. Such a wonderful person, if he comes to her house, it is the best thing.
Double-sided embroidery is rare, and the most rare thing is the seven-trick exquisite heart.
Her own daughter is just like her father and her brother, too straight.
Mrs. Gu said with a regretful face: "Yes, I just met a little late." ”
Thinking that her daughter and Su Zhaoning were also friends in the boudoir, Mrs. Gu generously sold favors to Su Zhaoning, and she said: "But Miss Nan is still in the boudoir now, which makes me feel a little comforted." ”
Hearing Mrs. Gu say this, everyone else pondered in their hearts.
In fact, what spread in Beijing a few days ago was not only Su Zhaoning's rumors, but also Nan Wanwan's.
The Chen family and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion seem to have the idea of discussing relatives, but the eldest prince Chen frequently visits the door of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion. The secret behind this allows every lady who is keen to gossip to think of a hundred situations that are not repeated.
No matter which one it is, of course, she can't leave Nan Wanwan, the only girl in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Gu's words showed that Nan Wanwan was not a girl who was worried about marrying.
Su Zhaoning understood Mrs. Gu's kindness, so she nodded and smiled at the other party.
Mrs. Gu also smiled back at her, and invited: "Every few days, Mrs. Hou brings Miss Nan to my house as a guest, and she often talks about you." ”
Of course, Su Zhaoning nodded in response.
And the other Mrs. Xu, who was also the first to speak among the crowd, put aside the temptation of Su Zhaoning at this time, and also came over curiously to add: "Mrs. Hou has also seen me in the past?" ”
Su Zhaoning shook his head honestly. With a faint smile in her eyebrows, she looked at Mrs. Xu: "Madam can make wine, and I only found out today." ”
"I mentioned at that time that this plum blossom brew was made by Mrs. Xu herself, and Mrs. Xu told me herself."
"When did I say that?" Mrs. Xu looked at Su Zhaoning with wide eyes.
Those younger officials and wives looked at Su Zhaoning even more curiously.
They don't want to look at their daughters-in-law for their sons for the time being, so they didn't have any intention of inquiring about Su Zhaoning from the beginning.
It's just that this Mrs. Hou didn't get along with everyone so much last time, and this time she talked to a few elderly ladies who were difficult to get along with so quickly?
The reason why it is difficult for Mrs. Gu to talk is naturally because of the talent of their family, and it is difficult for mortals to agree with them.
This Mrs. Xu's maiden family background is average, and her husband's status is slightly higher. But Mrs. Xu is a cannon character, even if she speaks straightly, there are some embarrassing situations from time to time.
Her status is high, and everyone will endure it.
She has an average status, and everyone just wants to stay away.
At this time, Mrs. Xu really said something not very nice again.
"Mrs. Hou is talking nonsense, and she is right."
Su Zhaoning dealt with Mrs. Xu, who spoke straight and sharp, and Nan Wanwan also had an uninvited guest.
"I still remember the first time I saw Miss Nan, you were standing in the middle of everyone like a moon with all hearts. Now surrounded by people, it seems that they have been replaced. An obviously provocative voice appeared in Nan Wanwan's ears.
Nan Wanwan raised her eyes to look at the woman in front of her, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, and she slammed back mercilessly: "When I first saw Miss Su San, Wanwan simply thought that your appearance was amazing. I didn't expect you to be like this now. ”
Nan Wanwan looked Su Zhenyi up and down, with a lot of disdain in her eyes.
Her voice was not small, and Su Zhenyi also came over suddenly, so the girls who gathered together also looked over.
Su Zhenyi wore a ferret jacket, lining the whole figure to be a little round.
Nan Wanwan wanted to poke her wound and said: "At that time, I only thought that Miss Su San was a dazzling pearl, but now you look at it as a pearl and jade, which can be regarded as an eye-catcher." ”
Su Zhenyi was so angry that she wanted the five Buddhas to ascend to heaven.
She is here today, but she is a good material for wealth. In Chang'an's Hou Mansion, she didn't have such treatment.
Even now in the Zhou family, she can dress like this, and it all depends on the meat in her abdomen.
