Chapter 258 Praise
Mrs. Tang was smiling, but she was secretly complaining in her heart, whether Mrs. Song of Yongyi Marquis Mansion was trying to trick her.
With Mrs. Jiang's coquettish manner of speaking, if she were to become her in-laws, would she die of nausea?
However, Mrs. Song also said that the Jiang family has good rules and well-educated girls, and Mrs. Jiang is also famous in Beijing for being decent.
Phew, that’s it?
As for the other two girls, Mrs. Tang glanced at them calmly.
Miss Gongsun is good-looking, well-educated, and is the eldest granddaughter of the Prime Minister. Such a woman is definitely qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Tang family.
However, if the girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo, one civilized and one military, the two mainstays of the imperial court, really wanted to get married, would the emperor be afraid of it?
Chen Quan was originally a straightforward person, but he didn't know that after sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, his mind became smaller and smaller.
Especially when it comes to Empress Shen and Concubine Zhou, Chen Quan can't even distinguish between high and low. If the harem is unstable, how can the country be stable?
If she hadn't been reminding Tang Qi every day, she would have been afraid that this post would have fallen into the hands of Concubine Zhou.
With Concubine Zhou's temperament and the Zhou family's arrogance, there will be no way for people like them to survive when the time comes.
Tang Qi also said that the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a bit high and not suitable.
No matter how good the girl from the prime minister's house is, she is just not suitable!
As for the Shen girl, both in appearance and temperament, she was very much to Mrs. Tang's liking.
This is my identity...
In fact, identity does not matter.
The little girl is good-looking and smart. She and Empress Shen have known the Shen family very well after many years of friendship. The Shen family has a very good family tradition, and all the girls in the family are very beautiful.
of excellence.
If Tang Qi hadn't followed Chen Quan in an uprising, and the Tang family wouldn't be in the current situation, it would have been possible to marry a girl from the Shen family only if the ancestral graves were smoking.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong is still very satisfied with Shen Zhengqing. She has watched the little girl since she was a child and understands her well.
I'm afraid that if her family is willing to marry her, the emperor may not be willing to agree, so there are many variables that tie the Duke of Zhenguo and the King of Qin together.
Annoying!
But today, Mrs. Tang was able to keep the Shen mother and son on the second floor to listen to the opera, and she had the permission of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Duke Zhen Guo also said that you just have to choose according to your own wishes and don't worry about the rest. Even if Mrs. Tang chooses a girl from Gongsun's family, Tang Qi can still find a way to help his daughter-in-law marry a satisfactory daughter-in-law.
With this in mind, Mrs. Tang would really choose according to her own wishes and not care about anything else.
Hearing Mrs. Jiang mention her cousin, Shen Zhengqing glanced over. Seeing that she couldn't sit still, Mrs. Shen whispered: "This is your sister's first time here. Go and greet her."
Hearing this, Shen Zhengqing immediately nodded: "I'll go right away."
After saying that, she stood up, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Mrs. Tang say: "Miss Shen, are you going to pick up your cousin?"
Shen Zhengqing hurriedly saluted: "Yes, mother was afraid that my little sister would not be able to find her way, so she asked me to go and greet her."
"Go ahead."
Mrs. Tang explained to several ladies with a smile: "There are no girls of the right age in our house, and I am lazy. I don't like those vain people, so I don't let anyone greet the guests. They are all young girls.
It feels more comfortable this way.”
The mansion held a flower viewing banquet, and many young girls came. The town government only had one son, Tang Jinming, and no daughters. Logically speaking, the daughters of closer relatives should come to help welcome the guests.
The Duke of Zhen Guo had no brothers and sisters, but the Tang family had clansmen in Nanyang, but they were always unclean. Tang Qi was named Zhen Guo Gong in the capital. The Tang family and Mrs. Tang's natal family both wanted to send their young children to the capital to develop.
The Duke of Zhenguo only kept two nephews from Mrs. Tang’s natal family and taught them for two years, and then let them go to other places.
In terms of closeness in Beijing, on the surface, they are still Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and Yongyi Marquis Mansion. Of these two mansions, only Yongyi Marquis Mansion has a legitimate daughter, Song Yunjiao, who has just passed the age of hairpins.
At the flower viewing banquet at the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion, it was understandable that Song Yunjiao would be the one to help entertain the guests because of the relationship between Zhen Guo Gong and Yong Yihou.
But Song Yunjiao wanted to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's house, but Mrs. Tang didn't like the temperament of Mrs. Yongyi.
It is said that planting flowers against the wall will raise a daughter like a mother.
On the surface, Song Yunjiao looks pretty and cute, with a slightly unruly and willful temperament, but it's not harmful. But Mrs. Tang doesn't want to be related to Yongyi Houfu. She is afraid that Song Yunjiao's temperament is a bit like Mrs. Yongyi Houfu.
I can't carry it clearly.
Because of this, Mrs. Tang simply did not arrange for anyone to entertain the guests, and only asked the maids to wait on them all the way.
After the guests came and received the greetings, the young girls went to the garden to greet them, leaving a few ladies on the second floor talking and drinking tea.
Lu Xiangge arrived late. As a courtesy, he had to meet the wife of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion first.
Shen Zhengqing led Lu Shengge all the way to the theater. The rockery bonsai and blooming flowers on both sides of the road were dizzying.
Even the bluestone bricks on the ground have been polished into lotus patterns, and lotus flowers grow step by step.
The second floor is spacious and bright. In addition to a gorgeous stage, there are only seats. Several ladies in gold and silver sit together and chat. In the room filled with sandalwood, the serving maids and women stand with their hands down.
The clothes and jewelry are more decent than those worn by the ladies and girls from the Xiaofu family.
It was said that they were listening to the opera, but not one or two people were actually listening to the opera. Most of the people were talking to the people next to them.
The lady sitting in the main seat has a fair face and good appearance. If you look closely, her facial features are similar to those of Tang Jinming. They both look approachable, gentle and approachable.
No need to ask, Lu Sheige knew that this was Mrs. Tang, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Tang Jinming's mother. Lu Shege hurriedly went up and respectfully greeted Mrs. Zhenguo and Mrs. Shen one after another.
Although she is the princess, her status is higher than most of the ladies here.
Only the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is different. Mrs. Tang is a first-grade imperial conferred wife, who is higher than her in status and can be considered an elder.
Among the others, Lu Shege saluted. Even though he was considered an elder, he had to get up and avoid it.
They cannot bear Princess Huaiping's gift.
As soon as Lu Sheige entered the second floor, Gongsun Wanying couldn't bear to look away from her.
"Wow." She muttered, covering her mouth, "This Princess Huaiping is so beautiful, she almost reaches the tip of my heart."
Different from the queen's mature, elegant, calm and indifferent beauty that has accumulated over the years, the woman in front of her is like a flower that has just bloomed, which makes people's eyes light up and can't help but feel close to her.
Although these words were somewhat complimentary, Shen Zhengqing couldn't help but frown.
This is complimenting my younger sister, which is equivalent to complimenting her.
Jiang Peiting, who was sitting on one side, looked blankly in her eyes. Just then, Lu Xige raised his head and looked at Shen Zhengqing with a smile. Jiang Peiting was so dazzled by his beauty that she held her breath.
With Princess Huaiping here, can Tang Jinming still see others in his eyes?
For a moment, Jiang Peiting felt mixed emotions in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was envy or jealousy.
