Ye's shop is particularly busy today.
Most of them came here to inquire about going to the palace to meet the Queen tomorrow.
But compared to some time ago, there are far fewer people coming to Ye's shop to buy things.
Some of them were mentioned by acquaintances, and some smart people saw something, so they didn’t come.
Today Huang Yunqin and Ye Zhang are both in the shop.
The two of them often interacted with these officials and wives during this period, and became familiar with each other.
But today I really don’t know how to answer their questions.
They didn't even know that they were going to the palace to worship tomorrow.
These ladies also asked their family if they wanted to go tomorrow?
They wanted to, but that dead girl wasn't invited, so they couldn't enter the palace.
Ye Zhang said ambiguously: "The child asked us to go, but the old man didn't agree, saying that we are all from the countryside and don't understand the rules of the palace, so we are afraid that we will embarrass the child if we go."
A lady in her thirties said flatteringly: "Hey, old woman, what are you talking about?
Look at your clothes and your temperament, how do you look like you come from the countryside? Why don't you come with us tomorrow? We can still talk on the way. "
Mrs. Ye Zhang smiled and shook her head, "I won't go. I listen to the old man in the family and can't embarrass the child."
Later, several ladies came to persuade them, but Mrs. Ye Zhang and Huang Yunqin just smiled and shook their heads, saying that they should listen to the men in the family.
Anyone who sees their modest appearance will praise them for being reasonable.
All the ladies who came to the shop bought a lot of things.
When the door was closed, Mrs. Ye Zhang and Huang Yunqin looked at the large bag of money and banknotes, laughing so hard that they couldn't see their eyes.
But Ye Yuqing was not so happy today, and was walking around the room in a daze.
Several ladies from the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion will go to the palace tomorrow to pay homage to the Queen.
Mrs. Hou just asked her maid to give her a set of clothes and a headdress, and asked her to go with them tomorrow.
She thought about it for a while, then got up and went to Ye's house.
She wanted to go to her grandpa and third uncle to discuss whether she should follow Madam Hou into the palace tomorrow?
Old man Ye was sitting on a recliner smoking a cigarette. When he saw his granddaughter coming back, he said lovingly: "Why is Qing girl free to come here today?"
Because the matter was urgent, Ye Yuqing didn't waste any time and explained the purpose of her visit in a few words, "Master, do you know that tomorrow is the day when your wife will enter the palace to pay homage to the Queen?"
When Old Man Ye heard her talking about things in the palace, he immediately asked: "I heard that in the past two days, ladies and ladies have come to the shop to inquire, and they also said that they would take your grandma and your mother into the palace with them. I let them Rejected."
Ye Yuqing said helplessly: "Master, I may have to follow you tomorrow. Mrs. Hou has prepared all the clothes and jewelry for me."
Old man Ye squinted his eyes and took a few puffs of dry cigarette. Thinking of what Ye Yutong said last time, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
I'm afraid that damn girl really won't show any mercy at all.
"Girl Qing, you'd better not go. Find a reason to postpone tomorrow. If it doesn't work, just pretend to be sick."
Ye Yuqing frowned, "Master, I have declined many times. If I refuse again this time, Mrs. Hou will definitely become suspicious, and even Yulang may not be able to explain it to me."
During this period, Han Chengyu rested in her room every day, and even the concubine who had just been admitted to the house was left out in the cold.
After being cozy with her at night, she mentioned the emperor and the queen, as well as Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe, intentionally or unintentionally.
He praised them both for being handsome, talented, and knowledgeable. Thanks to the relationship between the Queen and the Empress, they already had a place in the court.
There was envy in every word.
Ye Yuqing understood what he meant, but what could she do if she knew it? There was nothing she could do.
That damn girl became the queen, and she didn't leave their family behind at all.
But she couldn't let Han Chengyu know this, so she could only drag it back again and again.
Old Man Ye also knew that Pingyuan Hou Mansion could no longer make excuses to deal with the situation.
If the people in the Hou Mansion knew that their family had a bad relationship with Ye Yutong, then Girl Qing would definitely fall out of favor.
He was silent for a while and said: "Girl Qing, you can follow me boldly tomorrow, but don't get close to that dead girl.
There are so many people worshiping, and your Pingyuan Marquis Mansion will probably be at the back of the queue, and no one will pay attention to you. "
"Grandpa, what if Madam Hou and the old lady want to drag me to see the Queen? What should I do?"
Ye Yuqing was really scared now. Only now did she see clearly how big the gap between their family and Ye Yutong was.
Old Man Ye said: "When the time comes, you can find an excuse to hide out. If you really can't hide, kneel when you should, kowtow when you should, and don't say anything else.
With so many people watching, that girl shouldn't dare to talk about breaking up with us in public.
She has only been married for three days, and this is not a glorious thing. Isn't she afraid of being embarrassed? "
Ye Yuqing sighed, "This is the only way."
She now regrets that if she had known that Ye Yutong did not recognize them, she would not have publicized this matter.
Although she has gained some benefits during this period, she may not be able to keep up her lies in the future.
The main room of Pingyuan Hou Mansion,
Mrs. Hou and the Crown Prince's wife Qin Xiulan were looking at jewelry in the room.
Both the old lady and Madam Hou have class, so they can't wear random clothes, but the jewelry can be matched with more patterns.
Qin Xiulan hesitated for a while and asked: "Mom, do you want to tell me about my second brother and sister?"
Normally, on such a big day as tomorrow, Pingyuanhou's daughter-in-law would definitely go.
But Mrs. Hou's intention was to take Aunt Ye into the palace, and she had no intention of letting her second younger sister go.
Aunt Ye is the Queen's cousin, so there is nothing wrong with taking her there.
But Lin Meiyun was Han Chengyu's first wife and the eldest daughter of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Although Marquis Lin was gone, he still had several sons. Qin Xiulan felt it was inappropriate to bring down the reputation of the Yongping Marquis Mansion like this.
But she was not in charge of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, so she could only mention it tactfully.
Mrs. Hou said calmly: "I also want her to go with me, but isn't she in bad health?
If the illness spreads to the Queen, our Pingyuan Mansion cannot afford it. It's better to keep her at home and take her out when she recovers. "
Qin Xiulan paused and immediately agreed with a smile: "What mother said is true, but I have forgotten about this incident."
Mrs. Hou took out a pair of jade bracelets of excellent quality and said, "These bracelets were given to me by my aunt when I got married. They are a little too small for me to wear now. You and Aunt Ye will each have one pair. You will wear them to pay homage to the Queen tomorrow." "
Qin Xiulan almost laughed out of anger. If this person hadn't been her mother-in-law, she would have turned against him long ago.
She was actually asked to wear the same jewelry as a concubine. If someone saw it, where would she put her face in the future?
She pushed the table over and said with a faint smile: "Mom, I don't lack these. I think Aunt Ye doesn't have many jewelry. Why don't I give her this pair, which will also show that my mother values her. "
How could Mrs. Hou, such a shrewd person, fail to hear her daughter-in-law’s dissatisfaction?
She took Qin Xiuyun's hand and whispered: "Xiuyun, I know you despise Aunt Ye. In fact, I don't like her either, but who told her to have a good cousin?
Tomorrow I will go to the palace to pay my respects. People say that when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. If the Queen knows that her cousin is a concubine in our mansion and is not taken seriously, do you think our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion will have a future? "
Mrs. Pingyuan Hou saw that her face looked better, and then continued: "Don't forget, Da Lang is still on duty in the palace,"
Qin Xiuyun is also a young lady from a wealthy family. How could she not understand this?
She just felt that the appearance of Mrs. Hou and Han Chengyu was too ugly.
In the past, when the second brother and sister's father, Lord Lin, was alive, they were also so kind to the second brother and sister.
But just how long has passed, and I'm ready to hug a thicker thigh again.
She felt disgusted just by looking at such a manipulative face.
But Qin Xiuyun was just a daughter-in-law and could not interfere with the elders' decisions. She could only smile and nod in agreement, "What mother said is true, but I got it wrong."
She was secretly glad that her man was not so powerful, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.
Mrs. Hou put the bracelet on for her personally and said to the eldest maid: "Give the other one to Aunt Ye and let her wear it when she enters the palace tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am."
Ye Yuqing had just come back when the maid next to Mrs. Hou came to give her another bracelet.
She was flattered and said: "Sister Hongye, didn't you send clothes and jewelry here at noon? Why do you send them again? I'm really embarrassed to cost Madam like this."
Hong Ye said with a smile: "Aunt Ye, this bracelet is not an ordinary jade bracelet, it was a dowry given to her by her aunt when she got married.
Madam has been reluctant to wear them all these years, so she specially took them out today and gave one to each of you and the Crown Princess, so that you two can wear them tomorrow and dress up beautifully to follow her into the palace. "
"Then thank you madam. I will wear it tomorrow and make sure not to embarrass her."
Ye Yuqing sent Hongye to the door before turning back to the house.
Looking at the green and transparent jade bracelet in the brocade box, I felt that Mrs. Hou was very generous today, and she was willing to give away such a good thing.
She tried it on her hand and smiled with satisfaction.
It's really a good thing, more valuable than the set of noodles given in the morning.
She was a little nervous at first, but after seeing these good things, her mood instantly improved a lot.
She thought to herself, at best, she should keep a low profile tomorrow. With so many lucky wives, Ye Yutong shouldn't pay attention to her, right?
