Cui Shengrong said calmly: "Mrs. Kong, why are you so loud? I was just talking casually and got angry."
This bitch...
Taunting her in front of so many people.
Why did she come so early to flatter the eldest princess? She just wanted to inquire about the eldest princess's condition.
As soon as she entered the eldest princess's mansion, the first thing she wanted to do was drag Mrs. Huang to visit her.
But as soon as they arrived at the eldest princess's yard, they were stopped and told that the eldest princess was still resting and asked them to go to the banquet place to have some refreshments and listen to opera.
She could only do as she was told. How could she shamelessly go back and wait until the time came?
Unexpectedly, he was ridiculed by Cui, a bitch.
The eldest princess can only endure it. She is just a wife of her husband. Why should she endure it?
"Ms. Cui, you really have no education at all. I am a first-grade wife, and you are only a third-grade lady. You must know how to measure yourself."
"Mrs. Kong, what does normal speaking have to do with grade? Are you suppressing me with grade because what I said makes sense and you can't refute it, so you are angry because of your embarrassment?"
Huang tugged on Qu Shuyuan's skirt.
Huang felt guilty when it came to the eldest princess, but she was still confident when it came to Cui Shengrong, who was about the same age as her daughter-in-law.
"I have always heard that Mr. Han is eloquent in the court. When I met Mrs. Han today, her demeanor was even better than before. It seems that Mrs. Han was deeply influenced by Mr. Han and learned to be so eloquent. It's just that Mr. Han was in the court. It is your duty to work hard for state affairs, but Mrs. Han is just a housewife, so it is better to be gentle and virtuous."
Cui didn't like Qu.
But he still respects Zhang Xiang's wife Huang.
Seeing that Huang, at such an advanced age, suddenly got involved with Qu, he kindly reminded: "Mrs. Xiang, I often hear your husband mention that during Zhang's tenure as prime minister, everyone praised him for being discordant with powerful people, not recommending relatives and friends, and not doing things well. We are diligent and conscientious, so we are valued by the officials. What we, the housewives, have to do is to take care of ourselves and not cause trouble to our husbands, don’t you think?"
Huang pursed her lips.
He looked away from Cui Shengrong.
Sit down with a guilty conscience.
She has only recently gotten closer to Qu Shuyuan.
The talents of the children in the family are declining, and seeing that her husband is old, it will soon be time to become an official.
If she doesn't take advantage of this moment, she can help the younger members of the clan.
When will they come forward?
But what Cui Shengrong said just now made her feel slightly uneasy.
Is it wrong for me to take this step?
However, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. I just hope that everything will go well and no accidents will happen.
For the eldest princess’s birthday banquet, officials and family members of the fourth rank and above were invited.
Because the official had already announced that he would also come.
The eldest princess asked the kitchen to prepare half of the food and wine, fearing that when the official family came, the ministers would also follow.
Before noon, ladies from all the houses arrived.
According to this time, each mansion should have lunch early and go out early in order to arrive at the Princess's Mansion at this time.
Su Yixin and Li Liuyu helped the eldest princess to the banquet.
She could feel countless kind or unkind eyes focused on her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to be able to attend my birthday banquet. I hope you all can eat well, drink well and have fun."
All the ladies stood up quickly and said in unison: "Elder Princess, you're welcome."
After the eldest princess said these words, the banquet officially began.
The maids filed in carrying drinks and snacks.
The troupe of singers went down and were replaced by dancers in dancing costumes.
Jia Changchao's wife Liu asked Wang Gongchen's wife Xiao Xue in a low voice: "Whose girl is the girl on the left of the eldest princess?"
The ladies from the various houses below, who had never met Su Yixin, were all as curious about Su Yixin as Mrs. Liu.
But I just kept it in my stomach and didn't ask out loud.
Now that Mrs. Liu was asking, the people at the next table pricked up their ears to listen.
"I don't know him. It seems he has never appeared at a banquet."
"Hmph, isn't this the happy lady who is the new number one scholar this time? Her name is Su Yixin!"
Yang said angrily: "You have already entered the Gu family, and you even wear a girl's hairpin. She is indeed a stinky girl from the countryside, with no education at all."
It turned out to be the wife of the new top scholar.
So everyone looked forward to the show and turned their attention to Yang and her daughter Xia Xunwei.
I wonder if the two of them will "meet each other" later.
Mrs. Liu said "Oh" clearly: "It turns out to be her. She is so pretty."
Yang continued to express his strange aura: "This is not a sign, it is just a foxy look. Men like this the most. Otherwise, the number one scholar with the rank of three yuan, when he first stepped into the court, he would be the sixth rank. How could the position of the wife be rotated? It’s not her turn!”
The Yang family did not want her daughter to marry Gu Qingjue, a sixth-grade official with no connections or background.
Then he would look down on Su Yixin even more.
Therefore, no effort will be spared to cause harm to others.
I just hope that my daughter can enlighten herself and never have anything to do with people like them.
Ms. Liu silently closed her mouth.
Being able to serve the eldest princess in this capacity shows how powerful this girl Su is.
She still ate her meal obediently and watched the show well.
The rest do not participate.
To avoid getting into trouble.
Xiao Xue naturally didn't like Su Yixin because Gu Qingjue was in the court.
On the left, Yangshi said something about the lady, and on the right, he said about the ignorant wild girl Su Yixin, as if he could raise his own worth by devaluing others as worthless.
Then he said to his daughter earnestly: "When the banquet starts, there will be opportunities for girls from various families to perform talent shows. You should take advantage of it."
There is another sentence at the end, it is not good for Mr. Yang to say it in front of Mr. Xue.
That is to try to impress the eldest princess.
As for the grandson of the founding Duke Zhao Lu, that can only be considered as a backup candidate.
After all, although the officials valued him, they did not give him any official position.
Yangshi had a very good thought in her heart. She winked at the few girls who were good at kung fu and went to listen to the play leisurely.
After the dance, the dancer left the stage.
Suddenly I heard a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty has arrived."
"My wife (my daughter) has met Your Majesty."
"No gifts, please sit down. This is my aunt's birthday, and I'm here to celebrate as my nephew. Don't be formal, just do whatever you want!"
Along with the officials, there were many ministers.
There are also young and promising men.
Probably because he got the news from home, he waited on the road and came with his father.
Fortunately, the eldest princess was prepared.
The servants of the Princess Mansion are well-trained and under the command of the housekeeper, they add tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks in an orderly manner.
A quarter of an hour later, fifteen more tables were added opposite the female family members.
The tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks were placed, the appetizers and fruits were served one after another, and the troupe that had just left came on stage again and sang "Birthday Wishes".
