I quit after marrying a sick husband

Chapter 432 The first of the three stages of choosing a wife

One carriage after another stopped in front of Taifu's gate, some of the noble ladies got out of the carriage, and some did not.

The ladies who got out of the carriage saw that no one came to greet them, and there were so many carriages parked at the door, even blocking the way, many people immediately changed their faces.

"This Taifu's mansion is too outrageous. They hold a banquet at home and know when we will arrive. Why don't they arrange for someone to guide the carriage?"

"And guide the carriage? Didn't you see that the Taifu's mansion didn't even arrange for the servants to help us into the mansion?"

"Although he is the grand tutor now, after all... he was born in the countryside."

"Born in the countryside is also someone who has studied and learned, but it's just a housewife...it's hard to say."

"I heard that Mrs. Li is happy, so her fate is better, and she has no skills."

The noble ladies laughed softly when they heard the words, and one of them said: "Most of these people have no background, and they are extremely vulgar. Now it seems that they don't even understand the most basic way of hospitality, but we are here for the Grand Tutor. It's not for her to save face."

"Yeah, what you said makes sense, but when I think about being polite to a countryman for a while... um... it's uncomfortable."

Sun Ning, the prime minister's daughter, heard the commotion outside the carriage. She opened the curtain and looked out. From the gate of Taifu's mansion to here, there were indeed many carriages parked here. No wonder people gossip: "Du, you quietly Go ahead and see what's going on."

"Yes."

Seeing Du Memo leave, Sun Ning lowered the curtain and sat in the carriage.

"Miss, these women can be regarded as noble women in Beijing after all. They have been making a lot of noise, and the loud voices have been heard by us, and the master must have heard it too." Tao Hong, the maid serving Sun Ning, said.

"What do you want to say?" Sun Ning glanced at Tao Hong.

"The servant feels that they are making a fuss over a molehill. If they are noble, who can be noble enough to pass the lady? The lady has not shown the slightest impatience, but they are arguing..."

Sun Ning shook her head. She wanted to come and see the invitation from the Grand Tutor's Mansion from the very beginning, not to offend the new Grand Tutor, but because she had heard about Lin Ling's past, a country girl who could be like Mu Yuan The generals in the field cooperated in planting Gastrodia elata, and even the chili sauce and cough medicine that flowed into the capital were written by her. I only think that Lin Ling is really capable and a role model for women.But what I saw today, no matter what the reason was, she was a little disappointed, not because of Lin Ling's personality, but because she seemed to have a high opinion of Lin Ling's ability.If Lin Ling couldn't handle such a small matter well, then the rumors she had heard before were probably exaggerated.

She really thought... She could meet a very powerful woman today.

Du Meme returned to the carriage, with a smile on her face: "Miss, please be safe, the host has arranged for people to take everyone to the car one by one, and the lady can get off the car."

"Didn't you just say that there are not so many people?" Tao Hong took the conversation, she looked outside, and saw that there were people giving carriages to the ladies of each family, and the ladies were leading the way, and those people seemed to be well-trained: "I never thought that there are so many servants in a mere Taifu's mansion."

With Du Memo's support, Sun Ning got out of the carriage. Compared with Tao Hong's astonishment, she felt better in her heart, right, this should be in line with the rumored Lin Ling: "That's someone else's servant. It's not you who give the moon silver, more or less has nothing to do with us."

Tao Hong restrained: "Yes."

"Sister Ning."

When Sun Ning heard someone shouting, she turned her head and raised her eyebrows when she saw someone coming. It was Qin Wanwan, the third lady of the servant of the Ministry of Rites: "My younger sister likes to join in the fun."

Qin Wanwan's smile froze, but then she recovered, and wondered to herself, didn't Sun Ning come too?But she said she loves to be lively!

"What's the fun in being at home all the time?"

"..."

Qin Wanwan wasn't angry when she didn't get Sun Ning's answer, she took the initiative to walk to Sun Ning's side: "Sister is well-informed, look at these servants."

"How about the servant?" Did she want to be picky again?

"Hehe...why don't you pay attention to their shoes?"

Sun Ning took a deep look at Qin Wanwan, and then looked at the shoes of the servant who had been leading them. With just one glance, she shrank her pupils, and then looked at the other servants, her heart was shaken: "The shoes on their feet... are Army shoes."

When Qin Wanwan saw that Sun Ning had finally realized it, the smile spread from the corner of her lips, and she really began to look forward to today's banquet.

The noble ladies who have been immersed in their own communication and thoughts did not notice that their words and deeds at the moment were recorded by the little maids in a few corners outside the gate of the mansion.

Lin Ling stood dignifiedly in the mansion, and as guests entered one after another, she greeted them one by one, and did not treat them differently because of their identities.

Qin Wanwan entered the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Although she stood still, her eyes had already started to look around, and she was very satisfied with the surrounding scenery.

"Mrs. Li, I see there is a long corridor over there, and there seem to be some servant girls standing on that corridor, that is..."

Lin Ling looked at Sun Ning who was talking, and saluted Sun Ning: "If you go back to Miss Sun, I have placed flowers in every gap in the corridor over there. Miss Sun might as well go and have a look at it later."

"It's just some flowers, what's there to see!"

Sun Ning was about to speak, and she was about to get closer to Lin Ling to get to know her better, but she was interrupted by a voice: "Luosang, this garden party is mainly about viewing flowers, if you don't want to see flowers, you don't have to come Come."

Luosang opened her mouth, not expecting that Sun Ning would speak for Lin Ling, and wanted to refute, but she didn't dare to face Sun Ning.After all, although his father said that he had a high official position, he was still inferior to the prime minister.

"Miss Luo, the flowers on the promenade are actually flowers that can be seen everywhere, but they are not very interesting." Lin Ling said.

Luosang's complexion improved when she heard the words, she couldn't help but glanced at Sun Ning, seeing that Sun Ning was embarrassed, she was in a good mood, but she didn't express the emotions in her heart.Isn't this Lin Ling stupid? Sun Ning was obviously helping Lin Ling when she spoke just now, but Lin Ling turned her back to comfort her. Those words blatantly slapped Sun Ning in the face!
Lin Ling didn't know what Luosang was thinking at the moment, she turned to look at Sun Ning and said, "Miss Sun, I was originally born in the countryside, hosting banquets and entertaining noble daughters from aristocratic families, this was something that I couldn't even imagine before, you can come here , I am truly honored."

Sun Ning nodded.

Seeing that Sun Ning nodded, the other noble girls also nodded. Some of them looked at Lin Ling with normal expressions, while others looked mocking and contemptuous...

Lin Ling turned a blind eye to the expressions of other noble girls, she just looked at Sun Ning and said: "Before holding the banquet, I thought about how to treat you well without losing etiquette. After much deliberation, I finally just thought of Heart and sincerity."

"Sincere?" Sun Ning frowned.

"Some of the flowers on the promenade are rare, but most of them are flowers that can be seen everywhere, but whether they are rare flowers or flowers that can be seen everywhere, they all live under the same sky, and each has its own value of existence and function, so... I tried to make them into pastries."

"Make all these flowers into pastries?" Sun Ning looked at Lin Ling in surprise. Seeing Lin Ling nodding, she couldn't help but look at the flowers on the corridor. This corridor is not short. There may not be hundreds of flowers here. There are also dozens.

"The cakes I make are not completely arranged according to the position of the flowers. Ladies, when tasting the cakes, you may wish to guess what kind of flowers are used in various cakes. I am willing to give a lottery to those who guess the most correctly. " Lin Ling said.

Sun Ning looked at Lin Ling thoughtfully, then stepped up and walked to the corridor first: "You can go and have a look."

All the noble girls saw that Sun Ning had gone to the corridor, and they followed suit.

Making flowers into cakes, there are dozens of kinds of flowers, it is an interesting thing no matter how you think about it, Sun Ning entered the corridor, when she saw the cakes against the background of flowers, her eyes flashed with amazement, and she was about to speak, Suddenly, there were voices in her ears.
