Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 19 Run
What's more, this Emperor Xiande is not someone to be fooled with. Although he looks gentle and refined like a scholar, a bit coquettish, self-willed, and occasionally convulsed, he is actually a very scheming, far-sighted person, and Also thick-faced and black-hearted, cruel and merciless.Of those who threatened his throne, who survived?

Now that he has been on the throne for ten years, the throne has already been as stable as Mount Tai, and almost all civil and military officials and factory guards have been replaced by their own people to monopolize the power.People from the lineage of the abolished prince have long since disappeared, and even if there are remnants, there will be no waves.

Emperor Xiande didn't take it seriously at all, and said indifferently: "It's all right not to let the Queen Mother know about this matter. If anyone goes to talk in front of the Queen Mother and leaks his words, then he doesn't have to speak again in the future. If you are not competent for this matter , I can send another person to take your place."

Yang Yong seemed to be strangled by someone, his exaggerated crying stopped abruptly, he quickly changed his words, and went to get ready.

For eunuchs like them, only the emperor's respect and trust is the most important thing, and everything else is imaginary.

After coming out of the Nuan Pavilion in the back garden, they arrived at the Fushou Hall where Mrs. Song Tai lived. After another half-day of modest greetings, everyone took their seats.

Mrs. Song Tai was sitting alone on the couch in front of her. Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Song Tai's daughter, Mrs. Song Tai's daughter Bai, and some young daughters-in-law from the clan stood behind her, and all the wives sat on the left and right sides in sequence. The ladies from various prefectures were arranged to sit together, and the princess of Baoling County sat in the middle like stars holding the moon.

The maids and daughters-in-law who came with them were all taken to another place to be taken care of, so only a group of servants from Jinxiang Hou's mansion waited behind the screen to listen to the announcement.

A stage was set up in front of the main hall, and after a lot of pushback, the wife of the Duke of England finally ordered a play, and then the other orders followed suit.

It's not that Su Wan was not asked to order a play, but she was asked to decline humbly. Besides, she didn't know anything about these things, but County Lord Baoling ordered an auspicious and lively play to read.

Su Wan knows her own shortcomings, so since she came to Jinxiang Hou's Mansion, she has been observing how other people get along with each other.

For example, who to meet, what to say, what to do, how to not offend others, and not to suffer, etc., all of which need to be learned by her. Her Royal Highness, the Eldest Princess, will not teach her these things on purpose.

Moreover, she has always carefully remembered the appearance, character and family background of these people, so as not to make a fool of herself in the future.

In this way, Su Wan won't feel bored anymore.

It's just that Su Wan enjoys herself here, but some people don't like her.

The Lord Baoling is very angry now.

Because Su Wan'er, who used to be submissive every time she saw her, and didn't even dare to show her airs, turned a blind eye to her this time, and only focused on drinking and watching the theater, and occasionally said a few words to the lady next to her, as if she really put herself Think of it as Mrs. Chang Wuhou.

I don't even think about which onion she is, and she is also worthy of the seat of Mrs. Changwuhou?

The more the princess of Baoling County thought about it, the more unhappy she became, but she didn't bother to hide her distaste for Su Wan. Therefore, all the ladies around her also knew that the little county boss didn't like this girl very much. Madam Changwuhou.

Liu Yuzhen, the lady of Huining Hou's Mansion, because she was born outside the house, couldn't wait to prove herself so as to establish her status and value in the Hou's Mansion.The best way to break into the circle of Miss Jingcheng Xungui.

Unfortunately, this is very difficult for her.

But if Lord Baoling is willing to help her, it will be much easier for her to break into the circle.Therefore, she has been spared no effort to flatter and flatter County Lord Baoling.

It's a pity that the Lord Baoling didn't buy her, and treated her very coldly, and even showed contempt and disdain for her after knowing her identity.

Although Liu Yuzhen felt very embarrassed, she didn't dare to resent her, and still smiled apologetically.

However, when she found out that the Lord Baoling hated Mrs. Changwuhou very much, she suddenly thought of a way to please the Lord Baoling.

After eating, drinking and watching theaters, the group went to the back garden again.

This time coincides with the flowering season, a hundred flowers bloom in the garden, all kinds of precious flowers compete for beauty, and the fragrance of flowers is pervasive, attracting people's nostalgia.

There is a lake in the back garden, which is the running water brought in from Shichahai. Various lotus flowers are planted in the lake. In summer, lotus flowers of various colors bloom one after another, which is an excellent scene.It's a pity that the season is not right now, otherwise, you can enjoy it.Even so, fishing or boating on the lake is very interesting.There are also strange stones produced in Taihu Lake, which are exquisite and colorful. They are planted in the garden, and the water and stones complement each other.

The ladies enjoyed the view of the garden, and Mrs. Song invited them to go to the Nuan Pavilion for tea, but the girls in each prefecture were in their prime, and when they were innocent, Mrs. Song did not want to restrain them, so she ordered the Fu family to drink tea. Several girls from the house accompanied the ladies from various houses to play in the garden.

Although Su Wan is young, since she is already married, she naturally cannot mix with unmarried girls. She was about to go to the Nuan Pavilion with Mrs. Song Tai and her party when she suddenly heard Liu Yuzhen, a lady from Huining Hou's Mansion, say clearly : "Mrs. Tai, there are still fewer people like us, and it's not too lively, so we want to add more people to play with us. I wonder if it's possible?"

Mrs. Song Tai was very tolerant towards these young girls. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Then Miss Liu, who would you like to stay and play with you? I also loved playing when I was young, but unfortunately I am old now , I don’t have the energy, otherwise, I want to go to the garden with you to enjoy the flowers!”

"Mrs. Tai is not old! You don't look like someone who is over fifty years old." Liu Yuzhen complimented with a blushing face.

Just as she was about to say a few more pleasant words, she suddenly saw that her aunt looked at her with some unkind eyes, knowing that she was dissatisfied with her self-assertion, her heart tightened, and she took back the compliment that had just come to her lips.

But thinking of her own purpose, she still bite the bullet and said: "Sister Su is married, but she is about the same age as us, and I have admired Sister Su's talent and character for a long time, but unfortunately, I have never met each other. Therefore, I just want to take this opportunity to get closer to Sister Su, and I hope Mrs. Tai can give us this opportunity."

"I have no objection, but we still have to ask Mrs. Chang Wuhou what she thinks about this matter." Mrs. Song Tai did not immediately agree, but looked at Su Wan with a smile, not like Yue Zu acting as a substitute.

When Su Wan heard this, she felt a little more alert in her heart.

She was unknown in her previous life, except that she was slightly better at needlework and could read some words, but she had no other talents. Where did her talents and virtues come from to be admired?
