When Yang Jinwen got home, it was already time for dinner.
Five days later, the Duke's palace was established, and the Duke's wife held a banquet in a few days to choose a wife for her son, who was as fat as a pig.
No, today there was another banquet in the name of appreciating lotuses, and all the wives and ladies of officials from the fourth rank and above in the capital were invited.
Of course, her pregnant White Lotus niece is also here. In order to increase her presence, she really spares no effort. Even though she is now five months pregnant, she still arrives at every show.
Her fetal position was in the posterior position. Even if she was five months pregnant and wearing looser clothes, few people would notice that she was pregnant.
The banquet was just being prepared, and she returned to the Duke Cheng's Mansion. Although Mrs. Cheng Guo didn't want to see him, she was her own niece after all, and she was pregnant with her grandson. It was hard for her to speak, so let her
do not come.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around? You don't care about your own body, but you also have to care about the thing in your belly. When Wen'er marries the main wife and comes in, I will immediately send someone to take you back." Chen Guogong's wife Wu Waner
, seeing her son, her niece sighed, pulled her to the corner, and scolded her softly.
This was her biological niece, how could she not feel sorry for her? But her natal family's power had declined and they could not provide any help to her son, so she did not dare to propose that her natal niece be her son's first wife.
The next best thing is to marry a noble girl and then make your niece a concubine.
Originally, I was optimistic about the Queen's sister, thinking that their family's foundation was relatively shallow. The Queen would also agree to this marriage because she wanted to win over a family like theirs. Who would have thought? The Yang family didn't know how to promote, and they dared to refuse the marriage.
She was so angry.
You must know that the imperial court is intertwined, and they, the elder families in Kyoto, have the greatest power. If you give them a chance to climb up to their high branches and don't cherish it, then don't blame her for being rude.
At this moment, Mrs. Cheng Guogong was secretly scolding the Yang family again, and she didn't know what was good or bad.
The Duke’s wife is also a first-class wife, so many people came to receive her invitations. Everyone also knew that this was not a simple lotus appreciation banquet. Those who had no intention of marrying their daughters to that fat man all invited their daughters to
Hidden. Most of the people who were brought here were concubines in the palace. When they met at the door, everyone just met each other and understood each other tacitly.
When Cheng Guo Gongfu saw these people, he was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. None of these women took Cheng Guo Gongfu seriously and asked her to be a legitimate second son to match these people's concubines.
Girl, you are really capable.
But she doesn't want to think about it. Her son is not only ugly, but also as fat as a pig. He often stays in brothels. Who is a serious daughter of the fourth grade or above who would attend such a banquet? If you fall in love with her, then that's not the case.
Bad luck?
Of course, everyone saw the expression on Mrs. Cheng Guo's face, and they all exchanged glances with each other. It would be better for Mrs. Cheng Guo to attend less banquets in the future, so as not to look at her.
Suddenly, a dozen young men came into the garden in a pavilion opposite these ladies. Judging from their appearance, they were all wearing Imperial College scholar uniforms. The ladies were all curious and wanted to take a look. Mrs. Cheng Guogong also
There was no stopping her. These were all classmates of her eldest son. It would be nice to see these ladies to satisfy their cravings.
To get to the pavilion from where they were sitting, they had to pass through a rockery. As soon as they reached the rockery, they heard some different sounds.
These ladies are all human beings, and you can tell there's something fishy about it as soon as you hear it, but you don't know whether they are servants or masters. It's so shameless in broad daylight.
After hearing the sound, each of these ladies subconsciously closed their mouths and walked lightly, trying to hear clearly what was being whispered.
Mrs. Chen, who came from the Wei family of Sanpindu, walked in the front. Because she had come to Chengguo Duke's mansion many times to attend banquets, her voice was relatively familiar here.
As soon as I heard the voice of Tang Yan, the eldest son of Chen Guogong, the fire of gossip in my heart began to burn brightly.
You must know that the prince Chengguo has always been a role model for the princes of these aristocratic families in Kyoto. Not only is he good at reading, he is also famous for horseback riding and archery.
I just don’t know what is going on. How can I do such a cowardly thing in broad daylight? It’s incredible.
"Cousin, I don't want to stay outside anymore. The yard over there is too small, the environment is bad, and the food is even worse. I want to go back to the Duke's mansion. I don't want to be a concubine for my second cousin. After all, I have such a big belly.
The child inside is yours, and I always feel sorry for being a concubine to my second cousin." A soft voice came from inside. When Mrs. Chen heard this voice, she immediately knew that it was that Wu
My cousin's voice, she is used to speaking in this soft voice.
Mrs. Chen, who had eaten a huge amount of melon, and the ladies and ladies behind Mrs. Chen all stretched out their hands to cover their mouths, not daring to make a sound.
What kind of bloody incident did they encounter? Why did they go their separate ways? How could they discover other people's secrets?
If this spreads out, the reputation of the Chengguo Duke's Mansion will be ruined. Wu's niece has been taken to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion since she was eight years old. She has lived here for eight years. Except for occasionally going home for a day or two,
Basically, he lives in Chengguo Gongfu all year round.
Unexpectedly, such a scandal would arise. Mrs. Chen Guogong didn't know what was happening in front of her. She just thought that these ladies knew the way, so she walked leisurely at the back.
After all, what these ladies did today made her very unhappy. She didn't want to greet those concubines because she felt that none of them were worthy of her son.
"Cousin, this child is the root mother wants to leave for her second brother. After all, you also know that his second brother can't... and will never have a child of his own in this life, so mother wants to leave him a hope. You
Be obedient and come back when the main room comes in.
From now on, you will be the only one in the second room who can give birth to a child. You can definitely walk sideways in the second room, and we are not far apart. We can also meet secretly in private. Just bear with it for a few more days! I got a gold bracelet here a few days ago.
Just take it first and wait for a few more days. Mother will definitely find a way to take you back before the baby is born." Mrs. Chen and the others felt that their brains were no longer enough. It turned out that Wu, an old godly woman, was the one who beat her.
This kind of idea.
Their only thought now is that this old pious woman is so disgusting. Her own son is useless, and she even wants to drag someone else's girl into the pit of fire.
Mrs. Chen immediately turned around and went back. What he brought today was a concubine from their family and two from the second wife. She also knew that Mrs. Cheng Guogong, an old devout woman, would not want a concubine as her daughter-in-law, so she dared to rest assured.
He brought out some of the concubines at home.
After knowing that this old pious woman had such an idea, she immediately walked back. She couldn't stay in this place for a moment, so she said goodbye in a hurry and left.
Several ladies who had just heard what happened behind Mrs. Chen also hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Cheng Guogong and left.
