"Why are you so cruel? I have kept my promise. You see, two servants can stop me outside the house. If I don't keep my promise, how can they stop me? Princess,
As the same saying goes, you and I are just pretending in front of people, but we don’t mess with each other behind the scenes. If you don’t cause trouble for me, I won’t cause trouble for you. But you can’t condone your subordinates’ lack of respect for others, otherwise, I’ll give you face.
, but it may not give them face." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Xu Wanyi frowned. She heard Zhang Yanling's wanton teasing just now. She wanted to argue with him. Because the four maids around her were not unworthy of their reputation. Their names were not randomly chosen.
He has good skills. But then I thought about it, what good theory could I have with this Zhang Yanling? It was just a waste of words.
However, although this person is hateful, he has behaved so far. In fact, Xu Wanyi was worried all night last night, fearing that Zhang Yanling would not keep his promise and break in. The master and servants all slept in the new house last night
, not only pushed against the door, but also took scissors, clubs and other objects to defend themselves, in case something happened. But nothing happened that night. It was because he stayed up too late and got up late in the morning.
Furthermore, although his maidservants were brought from the Duke's Mansion, he could not allow them to be rude to Zhang Yanling. That would not only mess up the moral code of respect, but also easily anger Zhang Yanling. In the future, you should still be polite when you should be polite.
Some, don't let them go too far.
"Have you finished speaking, Lord Marquis? If so, it's time to go to the front hall to pay homage and meet everyone in the mansion," Xu Wanyi said.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "What are you waiting for? Let's walk."
…
In the front hall, everyone in the Zhang family had been waiting for a long time. It was also the first time for everyone to see the appearance of the bride of the Zhang family, the princess of the Duke's mansion. At the first sight, everyone was amazed. The new mistress was so beautiful that she followed her.
Like a fairy from heaven descending to earth, she is dignified, graceful and luxurious, which is simply indescribable.
Ma Quan had already arranged everything. Zhang Yanling and Xu Wanyi knelt down side by side to worship the memorial tablets of Zhang's parents, offered incense and prayed, and then took their seats in the hall.
Zhang Yanling said: "Everyone, this is the new mistress of our Marquis Mansion. From now on, everyone in the house... must obey the orders of the mistress. Of course, the new mistress does not like to work hard and does not want to take care of things. Therefore, at home,
You should try not to bother her about the matter. It is better for the two housekeepers and Mrs. Axiu to take care of the matter. Madam, what do you think?"
Xu Wanyi had a sneer on her face. She knew that Zhang Yanling was unwilling to expose the fact that she was married to him in name only, so she wanted to protect her face as the hostess, but she also wanted to express in a subtle way that things at home would continue as usual, so she said
Rather tactful.
"What your husband is saying is that I don't want to meddle in other matters, especially complicated matters at home. You don't have to ask my opinion. It just depends on who should be in charge." Xu Wanyi said in a deep voice.
road.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly. Then come forward and see the gifts. After seeing the gifts, Madam will give you some wedding money, which can be regarded as a meeting gift."
The crowd burst into cheers and raised their hands to express their gratitude.
Axiu is the concubine and Xu Wanyi is the housewife. According to the rules, Axiu has to be the first to come forward to offer tea and salute. So Axiu holds the brewed tea and goes forward to offer tea to Xu Wanyi.
Axiu knelt down in front of Xu Wanyi, held the tea cup above her head with both hands and said: "Axiu serves tea to Madam and welcomes Madam back. From now on, the Zhang family will have someone in charge. If Madam has anything to do from now on, just ask her
Axiu."
Zhang Yanling looked a little distressed, but there was nothing to be done about it. This was a rule. This is not the future, hierarchy is order, or rules. Without rules, there would be nothing. Besides, in Zhang Yanling's opinion, this was just a matter of situation. Xu Wanyi She is just a mistress in name only.
Xu Wanyi looked at Axiu in front of her with a faint sneer at the corner of her mouth. She had known about Axiu's origin, and the beauty of the girl in front of her must have been the only reason for Zhang Yanling to take her as his concubine.
"Are you Axiu?" Xu Wanyi asked, looking at Axiu without taking the tea.
A Xiu could only say: "Yes."
"You are quite beautiful. My husband must love you very much." Xu Wanyi asked lightly.
A Xiu blushed and said, "I don't dare, A Xiu is just serving the Marquis."
Xu Wanyi nodded and said: "How many years have my sister studied? What does your family do? Which neighborhood in the capital do you live in?"
Axiu was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Zhang Yanling was a little annoyed. Xu Wanyi obviously asked this deliberately. She could find out Tan Ruqing's identity, but why couldn't she find out Axiu's identity. Her intention was naturally very Obviously, he was humiliating Axiu in public.
"Princess, why are you asking? Ah Xiu is still holding tea." Zhang Yanling said.
Xu Wanyi frowned and said, "What? Can't you ask? Axiu is your concubine. From now on, she and I will be treated like sisters. What's the matter?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Just ask later."
Xu Wanyi said: "I just want to ask at this time."
Zhang Yanling stood up slowly, but didn't know how to stop it. In front of everyone, he couldn't seem to have an attack. Besides, Xu Wanyi's identity was the mistress of the Hou Mansion, but there was nothing she could say to Axiu. inappropriate.
Upon seeing this, Axiu hurriedly said: "Reporting to the princess, Axiu has never read a book, and his family was originally a tenant. He does not live in the capital, but in Zhaojiazhuang, west of the capital."
Xu Wanyi smiled and said: "So that's it. Your parents are tenants? Are they tenants who farm in our manor?"
A Xiu could only nod and said: "Yes."
Xu Wanyi nodded and said: "Oh, then I understand. Oh, my sister is really lucky. Marrying the boss as a concubine is a step to the sky. Your parents must be very happy, and you must be dreaming about it at night. You must have laughed out loud."
Axiu blushed and was speechless. She finally realized that Xu Wanyi was deliberately humiliating herself. He hinted that he came from a humble background and had to climb high to become what he is today, hinting that he had a deliberate plan.
Everyone in the house was also dumbfounded. Why did the new mistress speak so unpleasantly? She was deliberately embarrassing Axiu. Axiu was very popular in the family. Especially Tao'er, Xing'er and Putao'er. After hearing these words They were all so angry that their faces changed color.
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Madam, enough is enough."
Xu Wanyi smiled and took the tea held by Axiu over, took a sip and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Hou feels distressed. Get up."
Axiu bit her lower lip to express her gratitude and stood up, silently standing aside.
Zhang Yanling originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't want to make the matter public in front of everyone. She was very annoyed, but she couldn't let it happen.
Everyone came forward to salute one after another. Xu Wanyi kept a straight face and said nothing. She originally came to see the mistress with joy, but no one could have imagined that this would be such a situation, and no one dared to say anything. Loudly, the joyful atmosphere was completely destroyed. Fortunately, the wedding reward was quite generous, which gave me some comfort.
After everyone had finished the ceremony, Xu Wanyi stood up and said, "Everyone, I have a few words to say to you."
Zhang Yanling frowned and cursed in her heart: Is it over or not? Did I commit evil in my previous life? I met such a tormenting monster.
