Three hundred and ninetieth chapters self righteous
During the Chinese New Year, the General's Mansion was very lively. People came and went to congratulate each other. It was a great event during the three-year filial piety period, so naturally many people came to support it.
Not only for the sake of General Chang's previous status, but also for the sake of the dragon in Concubine Lan's belly, no one wants to have a relationship with the general's mansion because of this.
Lin Zhu would sometimes come out to entertain some female guests. There were no female elders in the General's Mansion, so Lin Zhu was needed to come forward at this time.
Proper advancement and retreat is the evaluation given to Lin Zhu by all the ladies and ladies who have come into contact with her. She does not have the humility of a country person, nor does she have the feeling of a nouveau riche who has suddenly risen in status after becoming Miss Sun of the General's Mansion. She behaves elegantly and speaks well.
, even the ladies who came with critical eyes had to admit that Lin Zhu's rules and etiquette were really good.
Everyone secretly felt that they were worthy of staying with Concubine Lan in the palace for so long. It was indeed not easy.
No wonder others have this idea. Most of the people who come to the General's Mansion are rich or noble, and the ladies at home don't have the opportunity to go around the palace. It's just that this is the foot of the Tian family, so they will always be nervous or afraid.
Be cautious for fear of making a mistake.
Once people are cautious, they will not look so generous, and their actions will inevitably make people dislike them, so many people will not stay in the palace for long.
Lin Zhu entered the palace twice and was left behind both times. Some of the noble ladies in the capital were jealous and very envious.
"It's better to meet her than to be famous. Miss Zhu is so generous and decent in her behavior." A lady of the chamberlain discussed with the people around her. "She is not as good as the rumors outside." The last sentence was almost inaudible in a low voice.
"That's right." The people next to them also agreed. However, they only talked about it privately and did not dare to mention it openly. After all, not far from them, Princess Qing was sitting there. Her face was gloomy and terrifying.
It's not like he's here to congratulate him, but more like he's here to seek revenge.
The more Lin Zhu behaved like a lady, the angrier Princess Qing felt. She had never met Lin Zhu before, and had only heard some rumors about her. Coupled with Lin Zhu's identity, Princess Qing felt it from the bottom of her heart.
Just look down on her.
It was also rumored that Mu Qiyue wanted to marry her. How could Princess Qing give Lin Zhu a good face? This visit was also done for General Chang's sake.
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand, almost tearing it apart. "Humph, just pretending. I really think I am a noble daughter. Is the status of a noble daughter in the capital so worthless?" Princess Qing said.
He hummed secretly. He said something inside and outside his words.
They all meant to look down on Lin Zhu's background. Everyone around them also knew about the rumors. Seeing Princess Qing like this, except for those who deliberately curry favor with her, others kept a respectful distance. After all, no one wanted to offend the General's Mansion on such an occasion.
.
When Lin Zhu came over to greet Princess Qing, she also held her head high and her nostrils turned upward. She also dismissed Lin Zhu's salute.
Lin Zhu just smiled and did not care about Princess Qing's cold reception. She had already known from Mu Qiyue's mouth that Princess Qing did not like his son. Nor would she like the wife he was looking for.
Therefore, even if the matter between Lin Zhu and Mu Qiyue is really settled in the future, Princess Qing will still not give Lin Zhu a good look. This has also been confirmed by Princess Changmin, so Lin Zhu is still mentally prepared.
.
However, this time Princess Qing came to the General's Mansion because of Chang Tianlei's marriage. Lin Zhu still showed her identity as the master and treated her with courtesy. How Princess Qing behaved was beyond her control. As long as she
Nothing went wrong. She couldn't say anything.
But the more polite Lin Zhu is, the more uncomfortable Princess Qing will be. If she can't find fault with her, she can't target her. If she follows her own temperament and reprimands Lin Zhu, this kind of behavior of slapping General Chang in the face will not work.
It would not bring her any good results. Therefore, Princess Qing, whose reason temporarily prevailed, was holding back her anger but could not act out.
"Girl, Princess Qing's face is so gloomy that it's almost dripping with water." Aunt Chang joked with Lin Zhu secretly.
"Ignore her, just be polite. Mu Si will solve her problem anyway." Mu Qiyue has reached the point where he can't bear it anymore. If Princess Qing does something evil again, there is no guarantee that he will do something like this.
Something that hurt Prince Qing's Mansion.
Although from Mu Qiyue's point of view, it was justifiable to demolish Prince Qing's Mansion, but the secular perspective would make it difficult for him to do so, so Lin Zhu tried his best not to irritate the people in Prince Qing's Mansion, just not wanting Mu Qiyue to do so.
Qi Yue has a bad reputation.
However, some people obviously took Lin Zhu's forbearance as a guilty conscience, and Princess Qing became even more arrogant. She thought she had the handle on Lin Zhu, but she felt relieved in her heart.
"Huh, that bitch is smart enough to be a bit self-aware." Lin Zhu had been arranging Madam's affairs in an orderly manner. Of course, he had always been polite to Princess Qing, but she saw it as flattery.
If Lin Zhu knew that Princess Qing thought so, he would definitely shake his head and stay away from her.
In order to make all the guests come back satisfied, Lin Zhu also put a lot of thought into it. From time to time, he arranged for people to provide food for the ladies and ladies, and also paid attention to whether General Chang would need anything. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year,
For a while, Lin Zhu was the busiest in the general's mansion.
There were new rumors about her from the outside world, but Lin Zhu knew nothing about it. He never clarified anything, let alone got angry because of it.
On the contrary, the people who originally spread these rumors were very depressed. Their purpose was not achieved, and their mood really couldn't get better.
When Lin Zhu learned about the new rumors about himself, it was already a month later and a year had passed. And he only learned about it from Concubine Lan.
"It's said outside that you were very flattering to Princess Qing in order to enter Prince Qing's Mansion." Concubine Lan leaned on the couch and had her calves massaged by the maids while talking to Lin Zhu.
"These are all nonsense." Lin Zhu shook his head calmly, "That day Princess Qing came to the General's Mansion, and my niece was just doing her best to show her kindness to the landlord. It seems that some people are just being sentimental."
"Haha." Concubine Lan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard what she said. Her cheap niece was really unforgiving with her mouth. If Princess Qing heard it, she would go crazy.
"Although Mu Si has quarrels with the people in Prince Qing's Mansion, you must not interfere with his relationship with Prince Qing's Mansion." Concubine Lan warned.
"Yes, my niece knows." After all, they are his biological parents. In this era of foolish filial piety, there is no telling how the relationship between them will change. It is better for him to be less troublesome.
"Auntie, has the little prince ever moved inside?" It had been almost five months, and Lin Zhu was a little curious.
"I felt some movement a few days ago." Empress Lan Fei was in a good mood. When she mentioned the child in her belly, she smiled all over her face.
"How do you know if it's a boy or a girl now? You're not afraid of outsiders laughing when you say this." Although Lin Zhu was very happy to say that it was the little prince, she still had to take care of outsiders to avoid saying that they were too crazy because of their pregnancy.
"Haha, that's not what I said." Lin Zhu smiled and shook his head. "Since that little guy Fu Dou'er found out you were pregnant, he's always talking about the little brother, the little brother."
It is said that children can tell the most accurate words when they see someone who is pregnant. When Lin Zhu said this, Concubine Lan became a little interested.
Whether she is a boy or a girl, she thinks it is a gift from God. However, for the women in the harem, who doesn't want a prince to be by her side? Even if she can't be the person on the dragon throne, it's good to be a prince.
.
"It's just a child's talk." Concubine Lan winked at Lin Zhu, signaling that she shouldn't talk about this kind of thing anymore.
Lin Zhu immediately understood that if the news spread, Empress Lan Fei might be in danger. But not everyone hoped that Empress Lan Fei would give birth to a son as much as she did.
"How are the preparations for Tianlei's marriage?" Concubine Lan asked with concern. Although she could not go to congratulate her nephew in person, she had been paying attention to the development of his marriage.
"It's almost done. The yard has been renovated. Everything that needs to be arranged has been completed. We are just waiting for the good days to come." Lin Zhu was also looking forward to this very much. He had never seen the process of getting married in ancient times, so it was just right.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity to watch it up close.
"Miss Dong is a good person, but her father is really unbearable." Even Concubine Lan knew what Dong Jisheng had done. It is conceivable that the emperor must also know about it.
"It's just a temporary confusion. Mrs. Lin will take care of it." Regarding Dong Jisheng's matter, Lin Zhu didn't want to say more, lest Concubine Lan would be dissatisfied with Dong Yuzhen.
"I have met that Lin family before. He has always been a strong person since he was a child, but his background was lower, and he was wronged by Mrs. Lin for marrying such a person." Concubine Lan is younger than Mrs. Lin.
Although she is from the same generation, she naturally knows something about her.
"When Mr. Dong becomes famous, Mrs. Lin will be able to feel proud." Lin Zhu heard that Dong Wenbo's studies have improved a lot and she is very confident about the upcoming imperial examination.
When Concubine Lan heard this, she just smiled and said nothing. Firstly, she was not very familiar with Mrs. Lin, and secondly, some things are best left to an end.
"Over there in the Zhuyuan, I heard that fresh strawberries will be delivered." Since the out-of-season vegetables grew in the hot springs in the Zhuyuan, Concubine Lan was the biggest beneficiary.
"That's really good. I've had a great appetite recently. I always want to eat this and that." Empress Lan Fei felt like saliva was drooling from her mouth.
"It's a good thing that you have one person to eat and two people to make up for it." Of course, Lin Zhu wanted to pick out some words that she liked to hear.
"You, at such a young age, know everything, and you are not afraid of outsiders hearing the joke." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
