The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 106 Your maid beat my man

On June 29, King Jing held a full moon wine banquet for his eldest son, and guests from the palace gathered.

Because Ah Ju was pregnant, the carriage moved very slowly. When it turned into the street where Prince Jing's Mansion was located, there were already several carriages lined up in front, so the carriage slowly stopped.Mrs. Tai sent the maid Shao Yao over to tell her to stay calm, and it will be their turn in a while.

In fact, Ah Ju wished to arrive later.

After she came to the capital, because she got happy soon, she didn't go to too many banquets, and Zhao Chen accompanied her every time. Although Zhao Chen was in the front yard, she knew he was there, and she felt so sad. With the backbone, she sat quietly beside Mrs. Tai and let everyone look at her with all kinds of eyes.Perhaps it was because Zhao Chen had no errands at that time, and in the eyes of most people, he was just a young master who was raised in the countryside. Coupled with her status, there were not many wives and grandmas who took the initiative to talk to her, so she was at ease.

Today's Prince Jing's Mansion is considered to be the highest-ranked mansion that Ah Ju has been to so far. It doesn't take Zhao Chen to remind her that the guests are bound to be distinguished. No one else mentions it. Her aunt, Concubine An, who she has never met before, will definitely come.

Ah Ju looked at the two maids beside her, Cuiyu and Ruyi, one was smart, the other was steady and kung fu, one was given to her by her aunt, and the other was given to her by Zhao Chen. Persuade her to take them to the banquet.

As long as she is careful in her words and deeds, there should be no major mistakes, right?

The carriage started to move again, Ah Ju gently stroked her stomach, and slowly calmed down.

After getting out of the car, a little maid will lead the way.

To Ah Ju's surprise, Concubine Jing ordered her servants to prepare soft sedan chairs for her and Madam Tai.Mrs. Tai was overjoyed, and kept praising the princess' kindness to the mother of the palace who was in charge of welcoming them. She didn't know that she had been honored by her granddaughter-in-law.Ah Ju sat in the back and listened, feeling a little confused, did Princess Jing treat her too well?Both Zhao Chen and King Jing had guessed the lantern riddles correctly that day, but she just let it go because she didn't want to snatch it. Speaking of which, the lamp was not hers, and Princess Jing could take it away with peace of mind.

Soon the group of people arrived outside the palace garden, the sedan chair fell down, Mrs. Tai turned around and waited for Ah Ju to come up, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked in side by side.

The banquet has not yet started, and the elderly wives and wives are sitting in the pavilion talking, while the little girls are scattered in the garden in groups of three or four, either enjoying flowers or watching fish. .

Ah Ju soon spotted Guo Baozhu. She was talking with two little girls under a century-old tree. Seeing her, Guo Baozhu waved to her from a distance.Ah Ju smiled, and still followed Mrs. Tai towards the waterside pavilion by the lake.The water pavilion is very spacious, and there are several tables of people sitting scattered inside. Ah Ju saw Mrs. Guo, but Mrs. Tai led her directly to Princess An.

The conversation in the water pavilion stopped at the same time, and countless eyes fell on Ah Ju with curiosity and inquiry.

Princess An also looked at Ah Ju, and took a look at Ah Ju's belly. When Ah Ju was about to bow her knees and salute, she said with a smile: "That's all right, all of them are from my own family, so why be polite? Come, sit next to my aunt. You have been back with Cheng Yuan for so long, and today is the first time I see you, look at this, Cheng Yuan is really blessed."

Mrs. Tai, who was already seated on one side, changed her expression, and couldn't help but complain about her eldest grandson-in-law.Concubine An invited several people after the year, and every time the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law said she was in poor health, she only let the eldest grandson go by herself. Now that it is all right, Concubine An brought it up in front of so many people, not just implying that the Zhao family didn't understand Courtesy?

Aju didn't look at Mrs. Tai, lowered her head slightly, and said to the nail that was holding her hand, which was painted with luxurious Kodan: "It's my luck to see my aunt sooner. The husband happened to catch up with her when he sent the post for the first time. My aunt was busy, and then she had time to see us, but I was timid, and I was scared by my little brother unintentionally, and then I was offended, and I couldn't see my aunt until today, so please don't blame me."

Princess An's face turned cold, and she couldn't help but increase her strength in holding Ah Ju's hand.

Ah Ju didn't realize it, she still looked obedient and docile.

Someone next to him smiled meaningfully.Everyone knows the grievances between Princess An and the Zhao family, and everyone knows Tang Ju's stubborn nature. The simple words of the Zhao family's granddaughter-in-law are enough for people to guess the reason, but I don't know if she is smart enough or set out. I was instructed before, if a peasant girl can really say these words by herself, this person is really not simple.

At the table next door, Mrs. Guo glanced at Ah Ju's hand which was still held by Princess An, and coughed softly.

Aju turned around when she heard the voice, and seemed to realize that Mrs. Guo was sitting there, with a pleasant surprise on her face, and said to Princess An: "Auntie, I'll go to say hello to Second Aunt first, and I'll talk to you later."

"Go, go, you should." Princess An smiled and let go.

Ah Ju quickly covered her hands with her sleeves, stood up slowly, knelt and bid farewell to the ladies around her, and turned to Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo first introduced the ladies at the table to her.

The second wife of the Guo family, Mrs. Xu's Ah Ju, has known each other for a long time, but this is the first time seeing Mrs. Su, Mrs. Hou Hou of Guo Baoyan's aunt.In fact, there were several wives present, but Ah Ju didn't know why, but felt that the way Su looked at her was not quite right, she seemed a little critical and dissatisfied.

She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that she had never offended the Hui'an Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Guo saw Su's hostility toward her niece and daughter-in-law, she frowned, and just as Guo Baozhu came back, she asked her aunt and sister-in-law to enjoy the flowers together, and ordered a maidservant to follow her.

After the few people left, Mrs. Su smiled and boasted to Mrs. Guo: "Chengyuan's daughter-in-law looks really outstanding, no wonder Chengyuan likes it."

But I was very unconvinced in my heart.

Back then Zhao Yunting inquired about her daughter's age and temperament with her family's Lord Hou, which obviously moved the two families to get married. Lord Hou didn't know what to think, but he was willing to marry his precious daughter to an unfavored eldest son of the Hou family, which was even more annoying. What's more, if the marriage is successful, their family is already married. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunting backed down again, and then Zhao Chen led the village aunt and daughter-in-law back.Of course she doesn't care who Zhao Chen marries, but if he married a country girl, doesn't it mean that her daughter is not as good as a country girl?When Zhao Chen became a celebrity around the emperor, Su's heart ached. The identity of the Zhao family's daughter-in-law should belong to her daughter!

Mrs. Guo pretended not to understand Su's yin and yang melody, looked at Ah Ju's back and said, "She is good. Although she was born in the countryside, she is gentle and courteous, but she is not inferior to any girl in the capital. Chengyuan has married such a virtuous wife. , is his blessing."

When she praised her so highly, Mrs. Su looked away disapprovingly, got up and left.

Mrs. Xu followed closely, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you seem to look down on Mrs. Lin?" Her sister-in-law has always been tactful in life, and she seldom says such things to offend others. Is there something she doesn't know about it?

Neither Su nor her husband spread the fact that Zhao Yunting once favored her daughter. Except for her daughter's guess, outsiders didn't know about it. Don't you like her anymore? Lin is beautiful and sensible, so rare."

Naturally, Mrs. Xu didn't believe it, but it was a pity that Mrs. Su refused to reveal even a word of the truth, and she had no choice.

But in the corner of the garden, Guo Baozhu blushed angrily, "She is also a dignified princess, why is she so petty? I don't want to see you, so why don't I talk to you, what kind of trick is it to laugh on the surface and hurt people behind the scenes?" Ask Jingui to find the wound medicine.

Ah Ju looked at the bloody nail marks on the back of her hand, she was not as angry as Guo Baozhu, "Forget it, this little injury is not a problem, I just don't want to go to her side in the future."

"Sister-in-law, you have such a good temper!" Guo Baozhu said, staring at the water pavilion in the distance, "If it were me, if she dared to pinch me, I would expose her on the spot. I can't even teach my own son well. People bully her, who does she think she is, even if the Zhao family owes her, it has nothing to do with sister-in-law!"

"Be quiet!" Ah Ju tugged at Guo Baozhu's sleeve, seeing her pouting her lips, she reluctantly persuaded her, "It's alright, alright, I'm not angry at all, why are you angry? Go, stay with me in the garden Let’s take a stroll here, the view of the palace is really nice, has Baozhu been here before?”

She was fine, and Guo Baozhu didn't want to spoil her mood because of that kind of villain, so she said with a smile.

The two walked slowly, Cuiyu Ruyi followed closely behind Ah Ju.As I was walking, a little maid suddenly rushed out from behind a bush of flowers and trees in front of me. Before everyone could see her appearance clearly, Ruyi flashed in front of Ah Ju with a few strides, and threw her to the side when the opponent bumped into her In the grass, he fell on his back.

Guo Baozhu was dumbfounded, Aju was not much better than her, she knew that Ruyi knew kung fu, and it was the first time to see her make a move with her own eyes.

Cuiyu was afraid for a while, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.She walked quickly to the little maid who had just sat up, and scolded softly: "Which maid are you from? Didn't you see our grandma here? If you bump into my grandma, ten of you won't be enough to pay for it!" of!"

Along the way, she could see clearly that the maids in the palace were all dressed in lake green skirts. This person was definitely not from the palace, not from the palace. The other princesses and princesses and other distinguished guests had not arrived yet, so No matter whose family this servant girl belongs to, they are not afraid of the Hou Fu!

Guo Baozhu also came back to her senses at this time, followed by a reprimand, she is the master, her aura is naturally not comparable to that of Cuiyu, she directly scared the little maid to tears, she sat there wiping her tears.Guo Baozhu was impatient to see her cry, and just about to ask who her master is, Guo Baoyan's voice suddenly came from the front, "What's going on?"

Guo Baozhu looked up, and saw Guo Baoyan, who was wearing a white embroidered plum blossom dress, coming forward, followed by a beautiful girl with a face somewhat similar to hers, who was Xu Lan, the jewel in the palm of the Hui'an Hou Mansion.

"Girl!" The little maid, who was crying with her head in her head, seemed to come to life suddenly. She quickly got up and threw herself in front of Xu Lan, crying aggrievedly, "Girl, I was in a hurry to answer for you just now. I'm pushed to the ground, girl, make the decision for me!" Her thin white fingers pointed directly at Ruyi.

Ruyi stood beside Ah Ju expressionlessly, as if she didn't have the maid in her eyes.

Xu Lan glanced past her and landed on Ah Ju, frowned and said, "Ma'am, your maid beat my man, what do you think should I do?"
