In the tea house and restaurant, the storyteller compiled a drama based on Jing Niang’s nonsense.
"As mentioned last time, the merchant girl Jiaojiao was sent into the Marquis's residence in a small sedan by her own father. Let's continue."
The storyteller patted hard The gavel attracts the attention of guests.
“The businesswoman Jiaojiao contradicted Madam Hou in front of the eldest son, and revealed Madam Hou’s long-standing plan one by one.”
The place was bustling with guests.
"If you ask me, the most stupid person is the father of a merchant girl. Instead of being a good husband-in-law, he sent his daughter to be a concubine."
A guest at another table, He refuted with a sneer: "You are just blinded by wealth and splendor. Madam Hou is so capable and has a good heart. If the businesswoman's family continues to fight for survival, I'm afraid they will die without a burial." "
The chubby man hugging him said disdainfully: "How can it be so exaggerated? It's just some internal affairs. How can Mrs. Hou have such a method?"
The storyteller chuckled: "You gentlemen, you don't know something. Alas, forget it, I can't say it, I can't say it."
The storyteller immediately aroused the guests' interest: "What can't be told? It's just a story."
"That's right, that's right! I'll give you a reward, so you can tell it boldly."
The overwhelming amount of copper coins, mixed with scattered silver and banknotes, fell on the table like rain.
The storyteller smiled from ear to ear and pretended to be secretive and said: "I'm just talking, guests, please listen, this is not true."
"Then Hou Madam, my biological father was the God of War in the dynasty. He once led an army of 5,000 men and went deep alone to defeat 30,000 enemy troops.”
"Mrs. Hou has been familiar with military literature since she was a child. When her biological father went out to fight, she was raised under the knees of the Empress Dowager and received court training. You think, how can such a woman be a mortal?"
Hear The secret guests were satisfied and decided to talk to their families and show off after returning home.
In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
The young lady of Duke Ji squeezed beside her mother and asked gossipingly: "Then Gu Nanxi, is he really so capable? If he is so powerful, why are the children he raises so useless? "
The old lady tugged at her ear angrily: "Why have you been asking about Gu Nanxi lately? That's all. I'll just tell you some things. Don't ask anymore. "< br>
Madam Ji Guogong poured a cup of tea for her mother in a stupid manner.
Old Madam: "What the storyteller said is true. This is not a secret. Even the Yongchang Hou Mansion relies on Gu Nanxi's dowry, and many people know it."
< br>The young lady of Duke Ji suddenly realized: "No wonder when the businesswoman Jingniang took away the power of the housekeeper, you all just laughed and were not worried at all."
The old lady sighed: "This is not considered a concern. Nanxi Deliberately setting up a trap, the business woman would be able to find out if she just put some thought into it and made some inquiries. Gu Nanxi was just following the trend, just like her father."
The old lady put down the tea cup. , with a regretful tone: "Gu Nanxi was so beautiful back then. She was the childhood sweetheart of the late emperor, and she was the princess in everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, General Gu died in battle, and the marriage was snatched away by the current queen mother."
"The Empress Dowager was worried that the late Emperor would miss his old love and bring Gu Nanxi into the harem to give her a strong rival, so she took advantage of the late Emperor's personal expedition to marry Gu Nanxi to the current Marquis of Yongchang, Su Yanting."
“ At that time, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion had been defeated, and Su Yanting was just the second son without a title. Everyone in the capital knew that the Yongchang Marquis Mansion had no money. "When the late emperor returned from the victory, he learned that his sweetheart had married someone else. , furious , so he sent Su Yanting to the army."
The old lady shook her head and said with a smile: "This guy Su Yanting is also a stubborn ass. He knows full well that the late emperor and Gu Nan. What happened on Xi's side, but still with Gu Nan Xi held two in three years and three in five. "
"This made the late emperor angry. When Gu Nanxi was pregnant with Su Yunyan, he demoted Su Yanting to the border for ten years. Not allowed to return to Beijing.”
At this moment, the young lady of Duke Ji did not know whether to sympathize with Gu Nanxi or admire her: "That's why she endured it for so many years. It wasn't until the death of the late emperor that she dared to..."
The old lady looked at Holding the steaming cup of tea, sighing He said: "I thought that her arrogance had been worn away by the past ten years, and she was just a backyard woman like us. Unexpectedly, her methods became more and more sophisticated. Even though everyone knew that she did it, they could not find her fault. .”
The young lady of Duke Ji said sourly: "She was so good back then? So many people couldn't forget her?"
"That's not true. Later, the late emperor had long forgotten her. , it’s just that she is cautious by nature. , she is better than before, as if the wine has accumulated over time, becoming more mellow."
The old lady praised: "If the late emperor was still alive, he would definitely not let go when he saw Gu Nanxi like this. .”
The young lady of Duke Ji snorted dissatisfiedly: "Don't all men love the delicate flowers of fifteen or sixteen? How can they look down on our thirty-year-old beauties?"
The old lady tapped her forehead. : "Experience will make a man reborn, and similarly, it will make a woman fragrant and charming. Men love delicate flowers because the back house has turned you into the same mold."
Ji Guo The young lady was unconvinced: "Is Gu Nanxi different? With such a method, men shouldn't be afraid of her like a tiger?"
"Silly boy, if the concubine is like her, men will naturally not be afraid of her. Happy. Who wouldn’t be happy if you were the head of the house? Men are the most realistic.”
The same conversation happens in many noble families.
Even Su Yunyan, who finally got out of the house, was teased by the ladies.
"Yunyan, you will never be what you used to be in the future. Your mother-in-law gave you the power of housekeeping, and I am afraid she will really train you."
Su Yunyan stomped her feet in embarrassment. , said in embarrassment: "Why do you guys spread the word about such a trivial matter? You have already started to learn how to be a master. But you still want to make fun of me."
The second lady of the Jiguo family smiled: "We are different. My mother-in-law is not as good as your mother-in-law." "That's true." Yun Yan grinned happily, "But, how did you know that my mother-in-law is so powerful?"
The second young lady of Jiguo's family said angrily: "Who doesn't know? You are so awesome. Your mother-in-law has been on the forefront of the late emperor's heart for more than ten years, but you haven't even revealed anything about it. It's so uninteresting. !”
Other friends also started shouting: “That’s right! With your mother-in-law’s skills, it’s no wonder you’re not afraid of that businesswoman.”
Su Yunyan listened to the little sisters talking. , instantly dumbfounded.
What a horse? !
Such an awesome woman is actually my own mother-in-law?
Moreover, A-niang’s charm has not diminished, and she is still enchanting a bunch of old men in their twenties and thirties?
Su Yunyan was confused, but her mother-in-law was just eating and drinking in the yard and didn't even bother to come out of the gate!
Could this be part of Grandma’s plan?
