Chapter 696

Wen Mianmian annoyed those people outside who were unhappy and wished that everyone else would be like them. Thinking about it, Wen Mianmian felt very annoyed, it was too much time to make arrangements for others every day.

"Grandmother, do you think they are too free?"

The empress dowager smiled cheerfully, she could understand Wen Mianmian's helplessness, and she said when she asked, "They are not idle, but there are only so many good men in the capital, and everyone who meets a good one wants to jump up , Lao Liu is outstanding in appearance and rich in wealth, so he is the No. 1 choice for choosing a son-in-law, even if he comes in to be a concubine, the old Liu's fingertips will be enough for many people."

Wen Mianmian shook her head, "It can only be said that they don't have the ability to recognize beautiful jade, and it's not too late to make a fuss now."

After venting some dissatisfaction in my heart, I finally felt a lot more comfortable, and said happily that I would be able to take the empress dowager to spend half a mile around in a few days.

The garden of Dingbei Prince’s Mansion is full of colorful flowers, the vegetation is in full bloom, pavilions and pavilions, and winding paths lead to secluded places. There is a lotus pond in one side of the courtyard. The lotus flowers are blooming beautifully. The fat fish in the pond are swimming freely. I don’t know where I got a pair of mandarin ducks. , are cleaning each other's feathers.

A gazebo stands on the surface of the pond, with light gauze and curtains, which is very moving.

The Dingbei Prince's Mansion has been in existence for a hundred years, and the old lady's birthday is naturally attended by everyone. Those who received the post naturally came early, and even those who did not receive the post would also send a salute.

It was still early at this time, but most of the guests had already arrived, and the wives and girls from various families who had invited An to accompany and chat for a while were arranged to gossip and pass the time.

And because there were so many guests, the servants in this yard were all servants, and the masters went to the front to welcome the guests, which made these wives and girls a little more at ease.

The gazebo on the pond was already full of people, and it was midsummer, but there was an ice basin in the pavilion, so it wasn’t too hot. The wives also knew each other well, and they were all smiling when they got together, talking about Kyoto. fun.

Just as they were talking lively, a lady in bamboo green clothes was sitting in a good position, so she could see the person who had just been introduced at a glance, "The Lord of Shun'an County is also here, and I'm afraid we will eat Shun'an soon." County Lord An's wedding wine?"

Everyone looked over when they heard the words, and seeing Lin Ruozhang in a fine attire covered in jewels, talking to people with a smile like a flower, they all laughed again.

Lin Ruozhang, the lord of Shun'an County, and the concubine of Liu's mansion are married. These wives have also heard about it. Someone held a fruit and said with a smile: "This county lord of Shun'an is also very capable. My favorite cousin King Annan earlier, Now she is a frequent visitor to Prince Annan's mansion, Princess Annan is very friendly with her, and now she is getting close to that Young Master Liu, I am afraid that he has been a businessman for a long time, and he will not be able to change it for a while."

No matter how the court praised the merchants, in their eyes, they would be unworthy of the stage, and they felt that Lin Ruozhang's behavior was even more frivolous.

This person mentioned King Annan in his words, and everyone here knows what happened recently, "I heard that there are more and more reports on the impeachment of King Annan, but King Annan has not defended a single word, and the emperor has not expressed his position."

Someone took up the conversation, "King Annan is in charge of the business department. It is said that the errands are handled extremely well. The deposits received by Wanchunhang every day do not know how much. I heard that there are fifteen branches below, all of which will open next month. It’s time for the money to roll in.”

"Nowadays the national treasury is not abundant, and even Lord Qin of the Ministry of Household Affairs points at King Annan's secondment of envoys. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for the emperor to reprimand King Annan."

The adults of each family will inevitably chatter a few things about the court after returning to the mansion. These ladies have listened to some extent, and the people sitting here are all acquaintances, so it's too late to talk scruples.

Someone started, and everyone couldn't hide their desire to trample Wen Mianmian on the mud. A lady who looked 25 or six said, "This time, the Annan Palace and the General's Palace The servants caused such a big incident and almost beat the servants of other mansions to death. This fact is too bad, but the two governments not only did not reprimand the servants, but also rewarded each of them with a hundred taels, which seems to be a good fight Same."

"Master Wu, who lives in the same street, asked the emperor to comment together, but the emperor didn't say anything."

In fact, these wives are also ignorant. The emperor not only said what, but also said a lot. The original words are: "Why do good people beat you? It is because people from the two prefectures united to beat you. It must be your fault. First of all, the Empress Dowager is still living in the Annan Palace, and the people in the mansion are actually causing trouble at the gate of the Palace, if you disturb the Queen Mother, I will not spare you."

The adults lost their teeth and swallowed their blood, so they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Then came a conclusion: the emperor also protected his shortcomings.

These ladies dare not criticize the emperor, but it is okay to criticize Wen Mianmian in private. Someone forked a piece of iced pear with a fork, and after tasting it, they said, "The so-called hero is sad and beautiful. Princess Annan is getting older. Even more dazzling, King Annan was icy and cold before getting married, but after getting married, it is like dry wood meeting a raging fire, which is out of control."

Some people don't want to admit that the length of the text is good, so they said: "It is said that people rely on clothes and saddles. With so many gorgeous jewelry piled up, the colors naturally need to be complemented by a little bit of eye-catching."

"You ladies are so lively."

A voice sounded from behind the crowd, everyone was so frightened that their sweat came out. Turning their heads, it turned out to be Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu was able to be neighbors with King Annan and the General's Mansion. Naturally, her rank is not low. She is from the second rank. Members, so Mrs. Wu also has face among these ladies.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone joked, "Mrs. Wu, why did you come here? We are complaining about you."

Mrs. Wu sat down with a smile, her face was calm, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Everyone chatted for a while, Madam Wu put on a magnanimous look, "It's just that there were some quarrels between the servants, it's not a big deal, it was caused by my incompetence in housekeeping, I made everyone laugh. "

"If you have nothing to do with housekeeping, we people will really feel ashamed."

Everyone started chatting and laughing again, Madam Wu mentioned another matter during the chat and laughing, she said that Lord Xiao loved the concubine's room most because of the lines left on her stomach after giving birth, and it was no longer as tight as it used to be, Master Wu hadn't been there for a long time I have seen that no matter how the concubine cried and made noises, "the color fades and the love relaxes, it can be seen that the concubine does not understand this truth."

None of the people here are fools, and they all understand that she is insinuating that she is talking about Princess Annan. Some people just smiled and didn't say much, and some people echoed:
"The so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man depends on beauty for a while after all. Even if a woman gives birth to a country and a city, this good looks only lasts for a few years. I always see the newcomer laughing and the old one crying. This man spoils you When you want the stars in the sky, they will be picked for you, and you can do anything for you, and when your beauty is gone, or something better appears, your grace will belong to others."

"It can be seen that Israel's servants are unreliable after all."

"Madam Liu is right."

This person was talking vigorously, when suddenly a cool voice came in, everyone turned their heads and looked at the eyes narrowed, with a guilty conscience of being caught as a thief, "It turns out to be the county lord of Shun'an, and the county lord's dress today is really glamorous."
