105. Chapter 105
When Yuzhu got off the carriage and came to the elegant garden of Mrs. Ruiguo, there were already many cars and horses here, and there were a lot of guests.
Looking at this Yayuan, she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.
When she came to the capital, she came to this Yayuan with her adoptive mother, but now things have changed. The only inconvenience is that she felt vaguely discomfort when she entered this Yayuan.
Yuzhu took a deep breath and walked forward.
Mrs. Ruiguo was wearing a general uniform and stood in front of the vermilion door to welcome the guests. Her slightly plump figure, paired with a wide cowhide belt, was also uniquely inlaid with a few pieces of jade on it, which was very eye-catching, but she showed a bit of majestic and heroic spirit.
When she looked up and saw Yuzhu getting off the carriage, she immediately smiled and greeted: "Miss Six, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much!"
This sentence "Miss Six" made some of the female relatives at the door look up.
If it is said that the Great Wei regained his hometown is a feat of excitement, then the unknown queen Shang could actually surrender Erlang of the Yao family, which would be even more amazing!
The former is aroused by a patriotism, while the latter is a long tongue and curiosity.
When the marriage of Erlang of the Yao family was cancelled, although Mrs. Yao claimed to the outside world that it was postponed because of the excessive war, anyone with discerning eyes could understand the strangeness inside.
However, this marriage is not a perfect match, and no one would be surprised if the engagement was resolved at the moment. Perhaps Mrs. Yao refused to agree to this kind of marriage that broke the family, otherwise the Taiwei, who was confused by beauty, would be awake and bored for a while.
But now that the war is over, the woman with the title of fiancée of the Grand Marshal came to attend the feast of the Minister's wife in the carriage of the Yao Mansion. The maid surrounded her and looked precious, and she could not see any signs of breaking with the Yao family.
At the first glance, the female family members looked at Yuzhu's flowery face and sighed in their hearts. It was no wonder that they were so good that they charmed the mind of the Taiwei. Next, they looked at her tightly tied waist, which did not look like she was pregnant. The rumored that she had been pregnant before marriage, and the mother was a little self-defeating when she said that she was noble because of her son.
Yuzhu raised her head calmly, smiled and looked at everyone's scrutiny, walked towards Mrs. Ruiguo, and said, "I will never see you when you are so happy, and I am still elegant and elegant. This general uniform looks really good."
Mrs. Ruiguo held her hand and smiled and said, "Where is good? I can't see anyone after looking at your outfit. I can't compare to your young women's slim figure. But you and I are really destined to be. When I first met you, I had an indescribable like that. I always thought that such a woman should be worthy of by a nobleman in the capital. Now I see that I really read it right. I don't know when you will get married to the Grand Marshal. I should prepare a big gift to congratulate you."
Yuzhu smiled slightly: "The elders will make decisions about such a big deal. I dare not make decisions. Just follow the elders' arrangements."
Mrs. Ruiguo didn't say anything, so she couldn't continue asking questions. She just smiled and greeted her for a few more words, and then arranged for the maids in the mansion to lead Yuzhu all the way into the garden.
Mrs. Ruiguo really made a lot of effort in this feast. The generals invited were all young and handsome. They were tall and strong, very pleasing to the eyes. The ladies who entered the garden all blushed and their hearts were beating. Even the married ladies looked at them with no stinginess.
You should know that husbands who have seen enough fatness can occasionally enjoy the scenery elsewhere...
Yuzhu did not have the leisure and leisure, but just first investigated the "enemy situation" of the terrain.
I saw that the seventh young master of the Bai family was surrounded by a group of women not far ahead. Seeing his frequent eyes at him, I was afraid that he would pester him to ask about the Bai family's Miss... Yuzhu decided to avoid it.
On the front right is the charming Mrs. Guanya. At this time, she was surrounded by several young generals. When she looked at her, she picked her eyes with bad intentions, and Yuzhu didn't want to escort her.
The only time I felt a little relieved, I never saw Bai Shao and others, and there was no verbal entanglement.
She looked around and the courtyard beside her was quieter. So Yuzhu took a group of maids behind her and walked towards the place. She saw that there were special cowhides in the spacious courtyard, with many open small tents, like small pavilions. Outside the tent were paved with fragrant mats and charcoal trays, roasting fresh beef, creating an atmosphere of "eight hundred miles of roasted under the command".
This way of eating fresh food is naturally more interesting than the usual arrangement of delicious dishes, wine and meat.
For a moment, the atmosphere of this banquet was a bit happy and casual during the flower viewing festival.
However, Yuzhu came here just to deal with the mission. She did not think about socializing with the women, so she just wanted to find a quieter place to spend time.
But as soon as I took a few steps, I saw Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai sitting on a mat under a high pavilion in the carved beams and smiling at her. Miss Bai even waved her hand to signal her to come over.
There was no way to avoid it, so Yuzhu could only walk over and ask for peace.
Mrs. Bai said, "There are noisy elsewhere, but I am the only one here. If Miss Yuan doesn't dislike you, please sit here."
After the Yuzhu thanked her, she took off her shoes and sat on the incense mat.
Mrs. Bai is not resistant to charcoal fire, so there is no oven next to the fragrant mat here. It is just a small table filled with roasted and sliced beef, soft cakes for meat, and refreshing dishes. The fruits and melons and fruits from the Western Regions are also piled up on the fruit plate.
Several people were eating and talking.
"The emperor has already issued an imperial edict. The construction period of the Jade Buddha is very tight. I wonder when Miss Yuan will enter the temple to start construction?" Mrs. Bai went straight in and only picked up the things she cared about to talk about.
Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "I sent someone to discuss with Manager Hu. In the carving work, Mr. Hu's technique is far superior to me, so the carving jade Buddha should be dominated by Mr. Hu, and I will assist. If there is nothing else, I will go to Ciyun Temple tomorrow.
Mrs. Bai nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. This time, the Yao family's prospective daughter-in-law was doing things under her own leadership. This subtle satisfaction is really hard to describe.
The Century Lady did not deliberately fight with Mrs. Yao. But in the aristocratic families in the capital, Mrs. Yao has always been a model for the noble ladies in the government. No matter what the ranking is, Mrs. Bai always has to condescend to Mrs. Yao. Over time, she will inevitably develop a bit of "going to the next level" enterprising spirit.
In Mrs. Bai's view, the renovation of Ciyun Temple was an opportunity. Mrs. Yao left her hands behind because she was upset about the war and her son's marriage. The daughter-in-law of the Yao family, who was not on the table, happened to be a jade craftsman, and everything went smoothly. Mrs. Bai even made a twelve point to do this and demonstrate her ability in the noble lady.
At this time, several noble ladies from aristocratic families came over and laid incense mats near the mother and daughter of the Bai family. The wind direction in the court is also a guide for the close relationship between noble ladies and relatives.
Recently, the emperor relied on the Bai Hou, and the descendants of the Bai family were outstanding, and many people were highly valued in the court. Therefore, Mrs. Bai has become a new generation of leading figures among the female family members of the middle-aged family in Beijing.
Although Mrs. Bai likes Qingjing, she is so popular with everyone, and she can't help it.
Unfortunately, the dignified Mrs. Bai is respected, but Miss Yuzhu sitting next to her is not very popular. The envoy who led the previous discussion was a child of the Shi family. He was almost sure to make a decision, but he died in a foreign land overnight.
If we investigate the reason carefully, then the Taiwei Yao, who set up a series of plans to kill the envoys with the Khan from the North, would be the culprit! In addition, the offspring who had been cut off because of teasing the military family. The Shi family members were implicated by the Taiwei and suffered losses. It was really an old hatred and a new hatred! But these offspring were all famous in their heads, and the Shi family could not condemn them for a while. The depressed resentment finally caught the creditor today, and they all looked at the daughter-in-law who had not passed through the Yao Mansion with bad intentions.
At this time, the incense burner of the green glaze lotus next to the incense mat was stained with the smell of the incense plate. The koi carp swam in the small pond under the rockery. In the distance, the young and magnificent generals who were carefully selected by Mrs. Ruiguo, who delivered invitations, should have been very comfortable for half a day.
But Yuzhu only felt the murderous intent on the Shi family's incense mat beside her, comparable to roasted meat in the stove.
At this moment, a female family member of the Shi family first attacked: "I heard that Miss Yuan's father was Yuan Zhongyue, the jade master at that time... but Yuan Zhongyue, the sinner who was involved in the witchcraft case in the palace that year?"
As soon as these words were said, the mats around were a little quiet. The female family was shocked by the rude words of the Shi family, but they were very understanding in their hearts... Her uncle was the peacemaker who was cut by a knife. The one who teased the military family before was her cousin, and it was understandable that he was so angry. But this question was too sharp, and how should the northwest business woman who seemed to have never dared to speak out, seemed to be afraid of losing face in front of the ladies?
Yuzhu was actually prepared for a long time, but she didn't expect that the woman asked about the hidden pain in her heart as soon as she opened her mouth. She slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the light red pomegranate wine under the eyes of everyone.
At this time, Mrs. Yao's maid Huancui whispered to Yuzhu, after she introduced Mrs. Shi as the wife of the Youlang of the Central Ministry of Justice. She also remembered the personnel affairs of the capital that Mrs. Yao had told her before... Then she said slowly: "I lost my parents since I was a child and was raised by the Xiao family. I probably can't remember the affairs of my elders. When I came to Beijing this time, I also wanted to ask about my father's affairs back then, but I asked older people, but because of the age of time, I didn't remember it very clearly. However, seeing that this lady is still young, she knows it very deeply. I guess she has more thoughts than me, a daughter. Since that's the case, why ask?"
Her words were quite suspicious of being a hoist, and she told everyone bluntly that she could not remember anything about that year. If anyone is willing to use this as a handle to make things difficult for him, please do whatever he wants to sort it out.
The wife of the Shi family originally wanted to embarrass the woman and see her dilemma of not being able to come to Taiwan without any argument. However, the young woman easily and without any embarrassment, she blocked all the words and threw them back. It seemed that she was deliberately trying to dig up dead graves and dig out scandals.
But as soon as she said this, she once again made the female family member who didn't know the background of the business woman took a breath. She could only sigh in her heart that the taste of the Taiwei was so heavy. A woman with such a background, not to mention being humble, her wealth was not very innocent!
Mrs. Yao is really not in charge? How could she allow the daughter who offends others to get started!
After Madam Shi was refuted, her anger became even stronger. She ignored her demeanor and continued with a groaning, "A daughter can forget her father, but if she is a mother, don't forget her children. I heard that you had been married for several years, and I don't know if you have children in the northwest? Master Taiwei is kind-hearted, and I don't know if he wants to take him to the Yao family to raise him in the future?"
As soon as these words were said, the women were shocked again, and there was only one question in their hearts. Did such an unbearable woman practice some magic spell? She actually caused the Taiwei to marry her as a wife regardless of her own heart? Is there no other good women in the world?
Even Jue'er couldn't bear to listen to this malice, and she wanted to take off the lady's helmet and smash it into the woman's big mouth.
But Yuzhu's expression did not change and said frankly: "The ex-husband has a stubborn disease and has never had a child with my family, which has made Mrs. Shi bother. However, seeing her wife treating children with such a kind heart, I believe that Lord Shi, the Youlang of the Ministry of Justice, was very pleased. The cradle children he raised in the house can also return home early to recognize their ancestors and return to their hometown."
As soon as these words came out, the face of Mrs. Shi was so angry that she was so angry that her husband had recently become obsessed with a prostitute woman, and she was obsessed with redeeming her and raising her outside.
Such a dirty woman is destined to be unable to enter the family's residence as a concubine. This also means that Mrs. Shi secretly feels that she is dull, but the prostitute actually gave birth to another son. At the insistence of the old man in the mansion, the newborn baby was lost in the Shi family's genealogy and just took the mother's surname.
This is a scandal known to everyone in the capital, but everyone pretended not to know it. But they never expected that this seemingly gentle woman in the northwest was so cruel to speak. She immediately seized Mrs. Shi's shortcomings and fed her mouth again with the sewage that Mrs. Shi had been turned over.
"You...you...you really dare to say it!" Mrs. Shi was furious and pointed her hand at Yuzhu.
Seeing that she was about to have an attack, Mrs. Bai couldn't stand it anymore. She had always pursued elegance and did not like the habit of making noise in the market.
