Chapter 227
Seeing this, Gu, the second wife, smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you whispering?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room naturally looked at them. Fortunately, Shan Jinghua was used to it, and she smiled without changing her expression: "The second brother and sister have also said it quietly, so why can I say it in public?"
Without waiting for Gu's rebuttal, she stood up and chuckled and said to An, the old lady in Pyeongchang Bo Mansion: "Just just sent someone to send a post to Mrs. Wen, a family member of the Imperial Guard. Mrs. Wen asked the servants to bring me some things. I'll go back first to see what she gave and see how to return the gift."
Seeing that she had just said lightly, Gu was upset and asked, "Madam Wen? Isn't it the original maid in your family? You, the eldest daughter of the fourth wife, have you had such a good relationship with the maid of Mrs. Cheng Guogong?"
She specifically pointed out the three words "the eldest daughter" to disgust Shan Jinghua. Unexpectedly, Shan Jinghua was not sad about it. In the past few years, she has figured it out that her father is a useless man and ambitious. He offended both the eldest and second houses. She couldn't count on her parents' family. So what about Mu Yun who is a maid? Now he is a second-rank imperial decree, and her husband has real power, which is many times stronger than the Bo's Mansion!
Shan Jinghua smiled and replied, "You can't say that, your second brother and sister. Mrs. Wen is a second-rank imperial edict now, and her husband is also a celebrity around the emperor. And I heard that Commander Wen respects his wife the most. If you put these words into his ears, it would be a bad idea~"
Gu is not a stupid person, how could he not know this? But she said this on purpose. After hearing this, she sneered: "It's hard for you. She is obviously a lady from Duke Cheng's Mansion, but now she has to interact with people from maids."
The second wife Gu is the niece of the second wife's wife. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have joined forces to make trouble for Shan Jing. At this moment, Da Gu is naturally helping his daughter-in-law speak, and covers his mouth and smiles: "It's a blessing for you to shout Mrs. Wen in a friendly voice. I'm going to change it, but I can't say it." Da Gu obviously looked down on Mu Yun in his words.
Not to mention that Shan Jinghua intends to have a good relationship with Mu Yun now, even if the relationship is not good, she cannot sit idly by and watch outsiders belittle Mu Yun. Isn’t they belittle Mu Yun like this? She stood up and said coldly: “What do you mean by the second aunt and younger sister? What’s wrong with the maid’s origin? Our Empress Dowager Gaozu and Empress Dowager are also maids? No matter how bad Mrs. Wen is, she is now a second-rank maid, and her sister is also a third-rank maid’s wife. Why do you look down on others?”
Shan Jinghua's words made Gu's mother-in-law look at each other. At this time, the wife of the third wife, Lu, was busy going out to smooth things over and said, "Second sister-in-law and the others are just so casual. Why should Brother Jin Jin's wife be so unyielding?"
The thing that Shan Jinghua hates most is this third aunt. She looks at a Bodhisattva on weekdays and is the most ruthless in private. She doesn’t stand up for anything, but only urges the second aunt, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be the one who is ahead. She just hides behind to get the bargain.
Just like at this moment, it was obvious that the second wife and daughter-in-law were rude first, but after she said this, it seemed like she was aggressive?
Shan Jinghua took a deep breath before barely suppressing the anger in her chest. But before she could speak, she heard a clear voice slowly saying: "My third aunt's words are a bit biased, and her cousin's wife was not targeting her second aunt and second sister. Although it is not important to say some jokes between our relatives, Mrs. Wen is now in a high position, both her parents' sisters and her mother-in-law's furniture are in high positions. If such disrespect comes to Mrs. Wen's ears, not to say that her cousin's wife has lost face, even our family is afraid that she will not be able to get it."
Not to mention the second and third bedrooms, even Shan Jinghua herself did not expect that this cousin, who has always been a little cold and careless, would help her.
The old lady who had been watching the lively side for a long time said directly: "Okay, this matter is over here, and you are not allowed to say more. Second wife, please be careful in your words in the future. If you speak without any restraint, can you offend all your relatives? It is better to learn more about your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is dignified and steady. This is the style of everyone's wife." After saying that, before Gu explained, the old lady waved her hand: "Okay, go back to her room for nothing. I heard you clamoring here, so my mind hurts. Sister Ying came over and rub me."
Everyone saw that the old lady was already quite impatient and did not dare to talk too much, so they stepped out one by one.
When he arrived outside Heshou Hall, the eldest wife Jiang saw that her daughter-in-law was still following her, and said, "Don't you have something to do? Go and do it first, don't have to follow me. When my elder brother gets off school, I'll take him and my elder sister to my place for dinner."
Shan Jinghua responded with a smile, and on the way back, thinking to herself that if her mother-in-law and her husband were not just a person who was reasonable and polite, she probably wouldn't want to stay in this Pyeongchang Mansion. But she didn't expect that the cousin of the Wang family would actually speak for her.
While she was thinking, she returned to her yard. When she saw so many things on the table, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why are there so many things?"
Ma Woman hurriedly replied: "Except for these two fruits and these two silk yarns for you, the rest are for your cousin and your cousin."
Shan Jinghua frowned, unable to understand what Mu Yun meant. I heard that Wang's cousin saved her husband's niece yesterday. If she had just given her thanks, she wouldn't have to deliver things to her cousin. She shook her head gently and didn't know what Mu Yun was thinking, but she still ordered: "Take all these things to her cousin and let her distribute them by herself."
Then she glanced at the lychees and bayberry in the small bamboo basket and said lightly: "This year is the first time I have seen fresh fruits in the south. I picked out two plates of good ones and delivered them to the old lady and her room. My cousin came from afar and gave her a plate. After the number was a little smaller, the next room would be spared. Put the rest in the ice basin and let him taste it when the old man comes back in the evening."
In the past, she was worried about face and would never be able to get along with the second and third bedrooms on a big scale. Today, she just wanted to be willful and just don’t take you seriously, so what if she doesn’t take you seriously?
Mu Yun would definitely not have thought that it was just some fruits that caused such a huge wave in Pyeongchang's mansion, so that he could not even complete the originally scheduled flower-welfare.
However, these are all external affairs for Mu Yun, and she just listened to them and put them aside. After all, she had too many things to be busy with and didn't have much attention to other people's family affairs.
On that day, Yuan Chuzhi came over excitedly and said to her: "On July 15th, Huangjue Temple will hold a temple fair and do rituals. You can go with me."
Mu Yun asked in confusion: "You have never been concerned about these things in the past. Besides, in such a hot day, you will not be noisy or stuffy at that time?"
Yuan Chuzhi glanced at her: "I have never seen anyone who doesn't like going out than you. I don't feel bored at home all day. People want to go out but have no chance. You are fine, and there is no one to control you, and you are still stuck at home all day." After saying that, he was afraid that she wouldn't go, so he said in a slow voice: "Don't worry, Huangjue Temple is a royal temple. Those who are not of level cannot enter, and there are not as many people as you think. Besides, there are many thousand-year-old trees in this temple, which are very cool and not hot at all. Just go with me and help me with your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun asked excitedly: "Palm, is it because you have chosen a lady from which family you have seen?"
Yuan Chuzhi nodded: "That's right. I saw that the eldest daughter of the De'an County Lord's family was very good. She was generous and was very humble and polite. Last time the Empress celebrated her birthday, she personally drew a flower and bird painting, which was very good. She was a little younger and was only sixteen years old this year. However, I heard that the De'an County Lord had already started to help her look at her. I thought, go and discover the county lord's words at that time."
Mu Yun was not very familiar with the clan relatives, so he asked: "Who is this De'an County Lord?"
Yuan Chuzhi replied with a smile: "She is the eldest daughter of Princess Deyue, so she was granted the title of county lord. Princess Deyue was the second son of the Zhang family of the scholarly family, and now the Minister of Works, Lord Zhang, is the nephew of Prince Zhang. As for the princess, she has two sons and one daughter with Prince Zhang, and her daughter is the lord of County Lord De'an, and married Prince Yue Shen, Prince of Guangping."
This relationship is so networking that Mu Yun feels a little dizzy anyway. She can't help but look at Yuan Chuzhi with some sympathy: "You can remember so many people in the royal family?"
Hearing this, Yuan Chuzhi rolled her eyes indecently and replied, "How is that possible? You think too much, I just inquired about it. I don't remember anyone except the close ones." As she said that, she patted Mu Yun's hand with a fan: "Tell me quickly, are you going?"
Mu Yun smiled and said, "You said so, so I will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the princess."
On July 15th, Mu Yun finished dressing early in the morning and took a bus to Zhou Mansion. Huangjue Temple was in the east of the city and happened to pass by here, not a detour.
After meeting, the two of them took a carriage to Huangjue Temple together. Although this is a royal temple and the threshold is much higher, who has no relatives or friends yet? Therefore, today the temple is also filled with people and people are crowded.
Fortunately, Yuan Chuzhi was of high quality. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the temple, a monk came out to greet him and went straight into the temple through a special passage.
No matter what plan he had in his heart, since he was here, he had to go to the Buddha to put in incense sticks and donate some incense and oil money. Seeing that Yuan Chuzhi had donated 600 taels of silver, Mu Yun also donated 200 taels, so he naturally said several times: "Amitabha Buddha".
After chanting the Buddha's name, the monk smiled and said, "The white lotus in front of the temple is blooming just in time today. Many ladies and ladies have gone to enjoy the flowers, and there are also people who are putting river lanterns there. If the princess and Mrs. Wen have nothing else to do, you might as well go there to enjoy it."
Yuan Chuzhi laughed and said, "The white lotus in Huangjue Temple has always been famous. Even if the master doesn't say it, we are also preparing to go."
