Beautiful step by step

Chapter 74

Wei Wei has heard a saying before: Men conquer the world, women conquer men.

Physiological structure determines that men are stronger than women, so men fight hard with their strong side, and women only need to overcome rigidity with softness.

Wei Wei has a unique view on this sentence. If a woman can have the toughness of a man in her bones, but also the gentleness of a woman on the outside, then she will achieve success in her own marriage, and at the same time, through the hands of a man. Another achievement.

It's a pity that she was born with an ugly appearance in the past, and her external conditions did not allow it.Now with a perfect face, she doesn't need too many tricks, she can easily win people's favorability.

After eating and drinking enough, I left the flower viewing pavilion, and left the second-hand melon and fruit refreshments for the noble lady with cold eyebrows behind me.Pulling Ah Tong, Wei Wei walked slowly in the back garden to digest food.By the time she had finished her stroll, Governor Chu's birthday banquet was about to begin.Wei Wei saw the large army moving forward with sharp eyes, and consciously followed even if no one informed her.

Seeing her leaning forward, Mrs. Chu's brows were almost frowned.

How could there be such a strange woman as Mrs. Yan in the world, who has a good face to seduce men.Seduce Zhenbei Hou's son in the capital, and then hook up with Yan Zhenfu after being unacceptable by the Hou's mansion.Followed Yan Zhenfu to Liangzhou, and dressed up enchantingly to hook up with other men.However, Yan Zhenfu was also a fool, he didn't worry about it even though his head was covered by a green cloud.

Moreover, Mrs. Yan is not likeable.It was so obvious that everyone was isolated, so instead of feeling embarrassed at all, she enjoyed the banquet leisurely.

With a thick face and a dark heart, and his slickness, it really gave her a headache.

Rubbing her temples with her thumb, she winked at the mother in charge next to her.

Wei Wei followed the officials' wives into the front yard. The smell of powder in the yard had not yet dissipated, and from the corner of her eye she could see the dancers of different races in the background.The troupe had already been replaced on the stage, and instead of lively martial arts such as Mu Guiying in command, which is popular in central Beijing, it was a Peony Pavilion where grievances and grievances entangled.

I can't hear the tune of the libretto, babbling, mournful and desolate.Wei Wei shook his head when a gust of wind blew, a little confused about the aesthetics of the governor of Chu.Then she thought again, this is probably because rare things are more expensive.People in the capital are used to singing and dancing to promote peace, and they like to be hot-blooded when listening to operas.And Liangzhou officials are used to gold and iron horses, and they like to listen to soft accents when they are free.

"Cousin, where shall we sit?"

Just as she was engrossed in her thoughts, Atong tugged at her sleeves, with a slight melancholy between her brows.

Wei Wei looked around, and the stage below was divided into men's seats and women's seats with the stone-paved guide as the boundary.Among the two tables closest to the stage, one table was filled with more important officials of Liangzhou City. At this moment, Yan Heng was sitting at the head of Commander Wu.

She looked towards the symmetrical female seats, and Mrs. Wu was sitting with Mrs. Tong San sitting on her head, and the two were talking eagerly.All the tables were full, and the wives of other officials either watched the stage attentively, or talked closely with acquaintances.For a moment, it seemed that everyone was busy with big things and had no time to look up.

Wei Wei glanced around, and finally saw two empty seats in the corner.That table is very close to the place where the servants serve food, and not far ahead is the back kitchen.

If it was at home, she would be happy to move a stool and eat directly in the kitchen.But now it is outside, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and the kitchen is not a place where noble people should go.The table near the kitchen was mostly occupied by low-status visitors.

Wei Wei doesn't care about herself, but also Yan Heng's face.

Clearing her throat, she walked to the middle of the aisle in two steps, her pretty face was full of pity: "The garden behind is so beautiful, I was so engrossed in watching it that I forgot the time, and I don't know where I should sit in this meeting."

Liangzhou City is located in a remote place, and foreign enemies change their positions.Most of the people who come here to be officials are not of high status, and they don't have much choice when they marry a wife.Most of the wives of so many officials are mediocre in appearance, even if they are pampered and dressed in gold and silver, they can only be praised for their good temperament.With them as a foil, Wei Wei's already outstanding appearance is even more eye-catching.

This time she was standing in a very coincident position, right in the middle of the two most expensive tables for the visitors.Choosing this seat is also very particular. When she saw that she didn't have a seat just now, several ways flashed in her mind.The first thing she ruled out was silent patience, suffocating herself to help others, being so great is definitely not her style; making a big fuss is fun, but it is the worst thing to do, even if you win in the end, you will leave people with a shrew The impression is that you will hurt yourself by eight hundred and hurt the enemy by one thousand; the best way is to speak out your grievances on the spot, but not so sharply.

How to speak is also an art. Before she entered the Governor's Mansion, all the officials' wives in Liangzhou City had already disliked her.All these people have been offended, so she doesn't need to be too scruples.As for the side that didn't offend Guang, you can use one or two.

Standing in the middle, she weakly admitted her mistake, then looked helplessly towards the men's seat, and found Yan Heng exactly.

She looked at Yan Heng, and those people in the men's table were also looking at her.Listening to the weak voice, looking at the face that was weaker than the voice, and seeing the strong self-blame on her face, even if the table of men hated Yan Zhenfu, they couldn't bear to criticize Mrs. Yan like this.

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

Under everyone's envious eyes, Yan Heng put down his chopsticks, walked to her side in two steps, and asked her about her health.

"A Heng, Ah Tong and I came late and couldn't find a place to sit. Am I stupid... Am I disturbing everyone?"

When it came to the end, Wei Wei looked at the men's seat apologetically, pinched herself twice with her right hand where she couldn't see, and finally there was a mist in her eyes.

Yan Heng took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and his words were softer than ever before: "Don't be afraid, Ah Mao, the governor is magnanimous and will not care about these things."

The magnanimous governor of Chu spoke, and his voice was like a bell: "What a big deal."

After speaking, he stood up, frowned and looked at Mrs. Chu: "Didn't Madam already arrange it, why is someone occupying Madam Yan's position now?"

Someone took Madam Yan's place?
All the eyes of the courtyard were turned to the first table of the women's seats. Most of the officials' wives on the table knew each other.At first glance, everyone can see that something is wrong, why is Mrs. Tong San sitting next to Mrs. Commander.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the forehead of Liangzhou Tongjuan, he stood up and shouted angrily: "It's not enough to succeed, it's more than failure, you don't even recognize a seat."

She became the target of public criticism all at once, and the black and thin Mrs. Tongju couldn't express her suffering.What is her status, the seat next to Mrs. Wu, even if she is dizzy and wants to presume, it is not a matter of whether she can sit down.

Mrs. Wu smiled softly: "It's my fault. I just got to chat with Mrs. Tongsan, so I took her to sit down. It's the first time Mrs. Yan came here. I'm not used to it, but I forgot about it."

She spoke in a gentle manner, which resolved the embarrassment of Mrs. Tong Juan, and left the impression of being daring in everyone's hearts.

Wei Wei finally determined that Mrs. Chu was at best a sarcastic airs, and Mrs. Wu was the invisible boss.As for Mrs. Tong San, she is at most a mob next to the boss, and a big move will be wiped out by the way.

Patting on the side, Mrs. Wu reprimanded: "Come and sit down soon, Mrs. Yan is serious, I forgot and you won't remind me. The singers in the stands were so frightened that even the stringers changed their tune."

Standing in Yan Heng's shadow, surrounded by his aura, although in an unfamiliar environment, Wei Wei felt extremely at ease at this moment.

After hearing Mrs. Wu's words, she frowned and showed puzzlement: "I don't understand Mrs. Wu's words. I've been standing by the side for so long just now. Didn't anyone see it?"

After a pause, she said aggrievedly: "Mrs. Wu said that because I came here for the first time today, I don't remember me. For me, this is the first time I came to the Governor's Mansion today. If something happened suddenly, I don't know how to find him. Who is right."

Mrs. Wu was taken aback: "This child really has a clever mouth."

Wei Wei did not lose the wind in the slightest, his smiling eyes were crooked and his face was full of sincerity: "Thank you Madam Wu for your compliment."

Who praised you!

Mrs. Wu's face was a little tense.

Can't bear this much?The corners of her lips were raised, and Wei Wei's face was relaxed.The ultimate big boss is only at this level, so she said that the Liangzhou city dungeon is in Easy mode.

A Tong followed her cousin and sister-in-law, watching her cousin singing, reciting and beating, her eyes were shining like opals.The cousin sister-in-law is so powerful, she is beautiful, can make money, and can talk so well, it seems that there is nothing she can't do in the world.

Cousin is her goddess!

On the other side, the big boss Wu finally came to his senses, and put an impeccable smile on his face again: "Mrs. Yan is really a child, don't be angry. Although I am at Sister Chu's house today, I will be the master for a while." , let you order a play."

Wei Wei put away the changeable emotions before, and his face became balanced.

"Mrs. Wu was joking. How could I take such a small matter to heart? With so many people, how could I have the nerve to play?"

Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if you don't take it to heart. After all, behind it is... look at my mouth, I don't want to say much about the past. You young people like to be lively, and sister Yan is the most lively at our table." You are young, just come here."

"What happened in the back? Ladies like to look at flowers, so I gave up the gazebo. Could it be something wrong?"

Wei Wei asked doubtfully, with annoyance on his face: "As Sister Wu said, I am young, and I don't understand many things when I first came to Liangzhou City. If there is something wrong, please tell Sister Wu."

Like Madam Chu, Madam Wu choked.

point out?Do you want her to say that the gazebo was specially arranged by Mrs. Chu for her own enjoyment, and ordinary people can't easily enter it.But everyone said that it was the first time I came here and I didn't know the rules.Furthermore, Madam Chu said "don't be restrained in admiring flowers at will". Although it was just a polite remark, Madam Yan insisted on being serious, so she couldn't find any reason.

Standing beside Wei Wei, Yan Heng's feet were slightly apart, and his tall body firmly covered her.

After hearing Ah Mao finish speaking, he also bowed his hands to Mrs. Wu: "my wife is still young and has no experience in many things. Maybe she did something wrong when she asked for the flower viewing pavilion. If there is anything wrong, I will look up to all the wives. Haihan, Yan is here to thank you first."

What's wrong with letting the Flower Appreciation Pavilion... Don't say that Mrs. Yan's looks and vulgar movements are unique, even if she really has something wrong, out of good intentions, others can't be too harsh.

This is what the officials thought. Facing the pressure from Yan Heng, the wives of the officials suddenly felt a little pain in their faces.This guy is not easy to mess with. He dared to slap Mrs. Tongpan just now when he disagreed with her. If they get annoyed again, they don't want to be so embarrassing.

Mrs. Tongzhi sat at the head of the Chu family. Liangzhou Tongzhi Mrs. Qian is a wonderful flower.Mrs. Qian was plain in appearance, but for many years he only took care of his wife and children and did not take concubines or maidservants.With such a husband and son-in-law, Mrs. Qian can take care of her husband and children at ease, live a happy life, and have a peaceful mind.

Although everyone said how lowly Madam Yan was born, she felt that Madam Yan was not that kind of person.As a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, even if Mrs. Yan worked as a maid in the Hou Mansion, she must be a very capable person to be the most capable maid.Such a person is willing to marry a poor soldier in Jiuquan, and come back with him regardless of the bad conditions in the Northwest, so his character should not be bad.

These are just her guesses. After seeing Madam Yan herself, she can basically confirm that Madam Yan is a good woman after repeated observations.Although she was born beautiful, there was no lust in her body, and her eyes were peaceful.

The meeting was in an embarrassing situation, and Madam Qian said flatly, "What did Yan Zhenfu say? Madam Yan is dignified and generous. There is nothing wrong with it. Madam Yan must be tired after standing for so long. Sit down and order a play." Take it easy."

Yan Heng also asked in a low voice: "Can I help Ah Mao to sit down?"

Wei Wei smiled kindly at Mrs. Qian, and obediently was helped by Yan Heng to the seat.After sitting down with Ah Tong, she looked towards the stage.

"Today is the governor's birthday party, so it's not good to hurt the spring and the autumn, let's listen to something joyful. This Huadan, what will your troupe sing?"

Hua Dan, who was performing the hardest on the stage just now, was terrified when she heard "Sad Spring and Sad Autumn".Unexpectedly, there was a turning point, and the beautiful official wife gave him a word to save him. After a pause, he replied:
"Returning to Madam, our troupe can sing famous tunes. Martial arts shows should be more lively, with Mu Guiying in command, wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace, fighting dragon robes, and Sanying fighting Lu Bu."

"Three Great Wars against Lu Bu..."

Wei Wei read silently, just when everyone thought she was going to point this out, Wei Wei shook his head: "Three people can't win against one, so what's there to show off, just sing and make trouble in heaven."

To make a big fuss in the sky is to fight against a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals alone.

Picking up the teacup and scanning the table with his eyes, Wei Wei smiled playfully.

And the official wife who was caught by her eyes shuddered uncontrollably.From the secret decree in Yan Zhen's caressing hand to Mrs. Yan's arrogant attitude, this couple is very evil in every way.

Could it be that they have other reliance?

Wei Wei didn't care what other people thought, the stage was full of joy, and it became easier to change the backstage words of martial arts, at least she can understand now.

Wu Sheng dressed up as a little monkey, and made a series of somersaults from out of the way to into the picture, which made her very addicted.

After really having a good time, the banquet began to be served on the table.In front of her was a plate of crabs. Seeing the hairy crabs flaring their teeth and claws, Wei Wei was overjoyed.

Liangzhou does not rely on the sea and has no lakes, so naturally it does not produce aquatic products.These things are transported from thousands of miles, and the price is not lower than that in the capital.This plate of hairy crabs is the most expensive dish on the table. The chef is very skilled, and you can smell the freshness of the crabs when you bring it to you.

Mrs. Chu really valued her and served her such a good dish.

Wei Wei showed a look of embarrassment, and politely retreated: "Crab is such a valuable dish, and I am a newcomer. I am not old enough, so how can I put it here?"

Mrs. Chu smiled comfortably: "There was a lot of movement in the seat just now, and you have to stand for so long, so naturally you have to eat something good to make up for it. Eat more, this thing should be eaten while it is hot."

The embarrassment on Wei Wei's face became even stronger: "This...how dare you be in front of everyone?"

A table of official wives shook their heads, except Mrs. Tongpan, the others followed Mrs. Chu to persuade her to eat more.

After repeated refusals and blocking all the excuses that might frame her, she raised a bright smile, inserted her delicately manicured nails into the shell of the crab's stomach, and used her ingenuity to break them apart perfectly.

"Crabs are delicious but hard to peel. Fortunately, I have learned how to peel them. Come, Ah Tong, try it."

Peeling off one, handed it to Ah Tong, Wei Wei peeled off the other, and ate it very gracefully.While eating and appreciating everyone's astonishment, she laughed inwardly.Do you still want to trouble her with such a little thing?She is a citizen of the foodie empire!
