Chapter 11 Invitation to Meet
Gong Xu looked at Wen Mingqian and was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was beyond recognition.
Previously, he thought Wen Mingqian was vicious at most, but now it seems that he is not only vicious, but simply shameless.
Wen Mingqian could clearly see the look in his eyes. If he had faced such a look seven years ago, Wen Mingqian would have been heartbroken.
Now, she doesn't mind.
She has more important things to do than these entanglements.
"Master, as you said, times have changed, why don't we put aside the grudges of the past? For the sake of our children, let us mother and son have a place in this family." Wen Mingqian's tone became softer. .
She has been in the border areas for a long time. This time she returns to Beijing, she must find a way to gain a firm foothold.
So we should treat the palace family members both softly and hard.
“You want to stay, but you don’t want to stay on your own terms. I’m afraid this family still won’t be able to tolerate you.” Gong Xu frowned and said, “I’ve only been back for a few days and you’re already beating, scolding and beating my servants. How to sell? ”
"Master also knows that we want to stay, so how can we bully people for no reason?" Wen Mingqian smiled, "Seeing may not be true, let alone hearing?"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. "Certificate," Gong Xu rolled his sleeves, not having any patience with Wen Mingqian, "In short, your stay will have to be decided after the old lady comes back. In the meantime, you can stay here honestly and don't have any wishful thinking!" br>
Wen Mingqian looked at Gong Xu’s leaving figure with a smile on his face.
After so many years, he still has made no progress.
Believe in others and be self-righteous.
Gong Xu returned to Song's courtyard. Song had already gotten up and was standing on the porch watching the girls watering the flowers.
"Why are you up? Why don't you sleep a little longer." Gong Xu walked up to Mrs. Song and looked at her face carefully, "You still look tired."
"I am concubine. It's much better, Master, don't worry." Mrs. Song said softly, "Master has been busy all day, please sit down and rest! I have already asked them to make tea."
The girls have finished watering the flowers. The ground retreated, and Gong Xu looked at Mrs. Song and said, "Don't worry."
Ms. Song was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Why should I be worried?"
"I know what's going on in your heart, but you can't bear to make things difficult for others. It's too painful for yourself," Gong Xu sighed softly, "Although she has the title of main wife, it's empty. There's so much in this mansion. No one from top to bottom recognizes her, and you don’t need to be respectful to her. She doesn’t deserve it.”
“Master, have you met Madam?” Mrs. Song asked.
"I went to warn her not to be arrogant and to know her own weight." Gong Xu said, "I didn't expect that she is even more shameless now and wants to live and die in this house."
Ms. Song lowered her head and raised her head after a long while: "Actually, I have always wanted to say that if she could change her ways and put the overall situation first, I would not..."
" Xiulian," Gong Xu interrupted, "a vicious woman like her does not deserve mercy."
"But Master, outsiders don't know the inside story. Now that she has come back, how can we push her out of the door for no reason?" Mrs. Song shook her head gently, with a tone of helplessness, "The reason why we didn't treat her in the first place His crime was for the sake of the overall situation, and it is still the same now."
"You don't know, I feel like I've swallowed a fly when I see her!" Gong Xu said with disgust, "When the old lady comes back, Find a way to send her to the temple, or some other place. In short, we can't let this scourge stay at home."
Mrs. Song stepped forward, gently hugged Gong Xu's arm, and said with concern. : "Master, don't worry about things at home. Today is the fifteenth day. I have prepared a table of delicious dishes. Wait until the moon comes up, the flowers are fragrant, the bamboo shadows are fragrant, and the delicacies are clear. Please put your mundane affairs aside for the time being. Please be happy."
"You are really my interpreter," Gong Xu took her into his arms, "You can help me resolve all my worries." On the second day, Mrs. Song was arranging for someone to serve Wen Mingqian. The little girl came in and said: "Little madam, Yongqing Bo's Mansion has sent someone to bring snacks."
Mrs. Song then said, "Who did you send?"
"It's Mother Zhao." said the little girl.
Mrs. Song smiled slightly when she heard this, and Mrs. Yang asked from the side: "What are you laughing at, young lady?"
"What I'm laughing at is that this snack is probably not for me." Mrs. Song said He stood up and said, "Invite her in."
"Old slave, I know that this mother Zhao is the companion of the eldest grandmother in their house." Mrs. Yang diligently brushed off a drop from Mrs. Song's shoulder. Stem hair, "The grandma in their house was very close to the one in our family before, but now she is probably trying to reminisce about the past."
Sure enough, Mother Zhao brought a little girl in, greeted Mrs. Song, and said, "Our old man is celebrating his birthday. Thank you very much, madam, for sending someone to deliver things. I have only had time in the past few days to return the gift. Please also invite me." "Forgive me."
"Sit down quickly, our two families often come together, so there is no need to be so polite." Mrs. Song said with a smile, "Please have a cup of tea."
"Just tea." No need to bother me, madam. It’s just that I want to meet your wife, nothing else. Our girl specially asked me to send this box of snacks. After all, we haven’t seen you for many years, so we must be more considerate in our etiquette.” Mother Zhao said with a smile.
"They happen to be sending someone over here to take care of our wife, so let's go with you." Ms. Song said, "Mother Yang, please send her there yourself!"
Mr. Yang will take it with you. After the people passed by, Zhang's mother came out and said: "Mother Zhao is a guest, please come in. Old sister of the Yang family, let's give instructions to these two newcomers outside."
Mother Zhao came in to say hello to Wen Mingqian, but Wen Mingqian supported her and prevented her from saluting: "I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"
"Thanks to my wife, everything is fine, but I'm a little older." Mother Zhao said, "Madam has suffered over the years."
"It's not to say that she has suffered," Wen Mingqian said with a smile, "I just miss your girl very much."
"Alas, alas, Why doesn't our girl miss you? I've sent so many letters over the years, but I haven't seen one reply from you." Mother Zhao said, "She misses you, but she can't help."
< br>"Now that I'm back, I want to see her when I have time, but I'm afraid that she won't be able to get away, so I don't dare to meet her rashly." Wen Mingqian knew that the family rules of Yongqing's house were strict, and Liu's mother-in-law was especially strict.
My reputation is not good. If I let her family know about my private dealings with Mr. Liu, I am afraid it would embarrass her.
"Isn't that right? The old man in our house passed away a few days ago, and the whole family was busy for many days, but we couldn't find any time.
Since that day, our girl I have been thinking about you since I saw you here.
She called me this time to tell you to go to Wuqiu Temple in the south of the city and meet you there. "Mother Zhao said, "That area is clean and no one disturbs it."
"Okay, I understand, I will definitely be there the day after tomorrow." Wen Mingqian said.
Mrs. Liu was a good friend she made when she first came to the capital, before they both left the government. After getting married, the communication continued, and the love even deepened.
It's just that since Wen Mingqian went to Shuangxi, he took the initiative to cut off all contact with relatives and friends, and Ms. Liu didn't blame her for this, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to make an appointment.
"This box of snacks is made by our girl. Please try it with your brother." Mother Zhao said, "I can't stay too long. I have to go back now."
