Chapter 5656 Aunt Ning's request
The woman grabbed the girl in her hand and entered the door cursing.
I originally thought that when this battle came, I would give Xiao Yu a show of strength first, so that when Xiao Yu came to persuade me, I would take the opportunity to talk about the matter.
After cursing for a while, I found that there was no response in the room.
The woman couldn't help but look up at the table and saw Xiaoyu drinking tea face to face with an unfamiliar young woman.
The young woman had slender eyebrows and a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She glanced at the mother and daughter, as if she was watching a joke.
Mrs. Ning was stunned for a moment. When she came in earlier, she heard that her niece-in-law's family had a guest. This should be it, right?
She is so young and doesn’t have any valuable gold or silver jewelry on her body. Could it be that her nephew-in-law’s siblings are here to enjoy the autumn breeze?
At this time, Xiao Yu made a sound.
"Auntie, I always respect you as an elder, steady and decent, why are you so reckless today?" Xiao Yu frowned and focused on Ning.
Mrs. Ning lowered her face and said, "Niece-in-law, I am your elder. It is really shameless for you to talk to your elders like this. If this spreads, outsiders will definitely laugh at our Ning family for having no rules."
Xiao Yu shook her head: "Auntie, you usually come to my yard and barge in as you like without saying a word, but today there are distinguished guests here. You bumped into the distinguished guests. Why didn't you know it?"
Distinguished guest?
Ning's eyes wandered around, "Where is it? Could it be this one? This is your mother-in-law's sister-in-law. She is a distinguished guest to you, but according to your seniority, you have to call me aunt!"
Xiao Yu glanced at Yang Ruoqing and knew that her aunt regarded Qing'er as her sister-in-law.
Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, Yang Ruoqing already smiled and said: "This aunt is quite interesting. She rushed to be my elder as soon as we met. If I call you aunt, I'm afraid you won't have the courage to respond."
Ning secretly looked at Yang Ruoqing and felt that the woman's manner of speaking was different from that of a young daughter-in-law from the country.
Although he looks friendly and cheerful, he has an oppressive aura as soon as he opens his mouth.
Xiaoyu spoke again: "Auntie, this person next to me is not a sister-in-law, but the wife of the general who protects the country. She has a royal title, let alone you. When my parents-in-law saw her before, they had to kneel down and salute.
Auntie, I advise you to be more cautious!"
When Mrs. Ning heard this, she immediately thought of her niece-in-law's best friend Yang Ruoqing. That was a common topic of conversation among the entire Qing'an County aristocratic circle at gatherings. Women all envied Yang Ruoqing for her good fortune.
The man is a general, the younger brother is the number one scholar, the family is newly wealthy, and the pride of Qing'an County.
Ning immediately changed her face and came forward with a smile on her face: "Oh, the flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple. It turns out that the noble man is right in front of me. No wonder I heard the magpies calling this morning..."
Yang Ruoqing sat there steadily, her lazy eyes falling on Ning's body, and finally on her knees.
The meaning is obvious.
Ning didn't want to kneel down.
Xiaoyu spoke again: "Auntie, you have to kneel down and kowtow when you see Mrs. Gaoming. Since you are a married woman from the Ning family, naturally you cannot break the Ning family's upbringing and rules!"
Ning gritted her teeth, knelt down, and bowed to Yang Ruoqing, the imperial wife, in a proper manner.
The woman in the red dress who was dragged in by her was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.
Yang Ruoqing accepted the obeisances of the mother and daughter, and then said to Xiao Yu: "Let your aunt and cousin get up. I came here today as your best friend to catch up with you. What are these etiquettes of respect and inferiority?"
They are all for outsiders to see and are of no use here."
Xiaoyu said: "Thank you Qing'er for your consideration, aunt. Then you and your cousin can get up."
Ning felt very unhappy and secretly scolded Yang Ruoqing for being hypocritical.
Didn't you just sit there waiting for them to kneel down and bow down? Now you have knelt down and bowed down, so what else is there to say?
But Ning didn't dare to say it, so she had to thank her and stood up.
Originally, I wanted to give Xiaoyu a warning, but I ended up giving him a warning first.
"Auntie, it's rare for Qing'er to come over. We are reminiscing about old times. If Auntie is in a hurry, please tell me. If it's not urgent, just take it easy. I will invite Auntie over later when I am free to chat about home affairs."
Seeing the mother and daughter kneeling down and bowing in disgrace, Xiaoyu was in a good mood and spoke with a distant smile and politeness.
How could Ning just come and kneel down and then leave? That’s not a loss!
"Niece-in-law, it's urgent. Of course it's urgent. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to you regardless of disturbing your courtesy!" Ning said, without saying anything to Xiao Yu, she sat down next to Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu smiled faintly and asked the maid to make tea.
"Aunt, please drink tea, and cousin, please sit down and drink tea." Xiaoyu greeted again.
The woman in the red skirt had her eyebrows lowered from beginning to end. She was standing by the door, leaning sideways, and ignored Xiao Yu's greetings.
Yang Ruoqing watched all this quietly without saying a word.
Regarding the situation of this aunt's family, Xiao Yu had mentioned earlier that her aunt married into a well-to-do family in Qing'an County, and her cousin grew up with Ning Su since she was a child.
Originally, the two families planned to get married, but Ning Su and Xiao Yu fell in love, so the relationship between the two families became tense for a while.
Now that they have reconciled, it is obvious that the aunt's family has lowered its attitude, but the cousin still can't let go of her hatred when she sees Xiaoyu, the cousin's sister-in-law.
"My sister-in-law personally invited my cousin to come and sit down for tea, but my cousin ignored her. Could it be that she is deaf?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
Xiao Yu looked at Ning.
Ning's face turned red and she said hurriedly: "Mrs. Luo is joking, this girl has been spoiled by me, no matter how big or small..."
Yang Ruoqing said: "It seems like someone is twenty years old, right? I heard that she was married before?"
Ning nodded.
Yang Ruoqing said: "A Daqi woman gets married at sixteen, and twenty is a good time to marry her husband and raise her children. To ignore her sister-in-law like this is really uncultured and unruly."
The woman in the red skirt suddenly turned her head, as if she wanted to say something to Yang Ruoqing. Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, and a cold light flashed across her eyes. The woman in the red skirt suddenly felt numb and did not dare to say a word.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Ning quickly smoothed things over: "I don't know what's going on with this girl these days. She has a problem with her ears. Her sister-in-law asked her to sit down for tea, but maybe she didn't hear her."
"Damn girl, your sister-in-law is too polite to ask you to come over and sit down. Why don't you come over quickly and thank your sister-in-law!" Mrs. Ning glared at the woman in the red dress.
The woman in the red dress lowered her head again, moved to the table, bowed to Xiaoyu and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for the greeting. I didn't listen carefully before, sister-in-law, don't blame me."
Xiao Yu curled her lips.
The woman in the red dress sat down next to Ning.
