Chapter 274 Preferences
Faced with Mrs. Ning's aggressiveness, Su Yiqing only lowered her head and listened, trying to answer simply.
After asking a few questions, Old Concubine Xue said, "Okay, today we are recognizing relatives. We should introduce our own situation to see what can teach our new wife. There are so many customs and cultures in the future that we will have opportunities to talk about. Brother Rui's wife, except for the nephew and grandson-wife, you are the youngest and the next generation. Tell me more about the things that young daughter-in-law should pay attention to when I am young. Poor this child has passed by, and there is no elder to teach me."
The gentle words of Mrs. Ning made Mrs. Ning red. What can she have to teach her new wife? Her man is useless. No one in the mansion should pay attention to it, and no one let her take care of it. She basically has nothing to do, so she can only say embarrassedly: "This Ding Wang Mansion is different from our mansion... Besides, with Mr. Xue, I am here, how can I speak my turn? You should say it."
Since Mrs. Ning said this, Old Concubine Xue was not polite and continued to remind Su Yiqing.
The other ladies couldn't help but show a slight surprise. Is Old Concubine Xue defending Princess Ding?
This old concubine Xue has always been indifferent and impartial. Although today's words are not too obvious, they are already very different from the old concubine Xue's behavior. Although Mrs. Ning is a bit too much, she is always a sister-in-law, and it is reasonable to make some trouble for the newlyweds. Especially a country folk daughter like Princess Ding, who has no parents-in-law to suppress her, and being too indulgent will harm her. Not only does Mrs. Tanning, but the others also want to give some warnings. However, after the old concubine Xue rescued her, the others changed their minds.
Until the end of the meeting, the old concubine Xue relieved Su Yiqing several times in the middle.
Back on the carriage, Li helped Concubine Xue get onto the carriage. After the carriage drove, Li wanted to ask Concubine Xue several times, but she couldn't speak.
However, when Old Concubine Xue saw her cramped look, she couldn't help but smile: "Is it strange?"
"Auntie, what did you say?" Li blurted out, and then he felt that he was saying the wrong thing and couldn't help but lower his head.
Old Concubine Xue couldn't help but sigh secretly. This niece, who is almost forty, is still so impatient and irritable. She doesn't understand what others don't understand, so she asked it out immediately. Well, this is also one of her advantages. She is straightforward and quick-witted. Such a person will not be very sensible. A fool is lucky.
After a long silence, the old concubine Xue deliberately sank Li's temperament. Then she said, "I mean, do you think my attitude towards Princess Ding Meng today?"
Li didn't answer so quickly this time. He paused for a moment before saying, "It's a bit. Aunt, you have always told your niece not to be too troublesome. How can you stand up for Princess Ding today?"
Old Concubine Xue sighed: "What kind of person do you think Princess Ding is?"
Li thought about it again and replied: "I look shy, a little taciturn, not very strong-willed, but I think I have put in some hard work."
"You are half right." Old Concubine Xue closed her eyes and said slowly, "The second half is right. The first half is wrong. Her personality is not soft."
"Auntie, do you mean, she pretended today?" Li was a little surprised, but it was normal to think about it. There were many talents in the back house, and there were many people who were good at disguising. She had also met many of them. I think that Mengshi, a new bride, dare not be too presumptuous in front of her elders. It is normal for him to pretend.
Old Concubine Xue nodded, "He is a smart person who is good at judging the situation. Such a person cannot be offended. I will help her today because I want to make a good relationship. Now that King Ding is in power, there may be places where she needs her help in the future. At a critical moment, others may be able to help a lot."
"What aunt meant is that you would come to the Ding Palace to walk around in the future?" When Li said this, a little reluctant appeared in his eyes.
"No, too much is too much." Old Concubine Xue said lightly, "If you are too much, you will become a flatterer. If you are a kind person, you will look down on this behavior. If you are a narrow person, you will look down on it."
Li passed the words of the old concubine Xue several times in his heart and asked again: "Auntie, what kind of person do you think this Princess Ding is?"
Old Concubine Xue said: "I have already said that she is a smart person and good at judging the situation. Today, she said a few words without any leakage. Such a person is definitely not soft-hearted. A little folk girl has a low fate, but she can turn over and become a princess overnight. Can she rely on luck?"
There have been many rumors about this Princess Ding before, and it is generally recognized that he is scheming. Li also admits this. However, the position of Princess Ding cannot be firmly scheming. Many people speculate that perhaps Princess Ding is worried that the title of Mr. Ding will not be able to marry a lady of a good family, so he married an inconspicuous little concubine. Princess Ding is young, and if he really defeats his wife, there is no way. If he spends three or seven years, find an excuse to divorce the princess, and marry another lady of a famous family.
Li was close to Concubine Xue, and she never hid the words in her heart from Concubine Xue. After hesitating for a moment, she expressed her thoughts.
"What do most people think?" Xue Lao Tai Concubine smiled, "So most people in this world are mediocre people. The higher the man, the more different his ideas are from most people. Can those who can tell others such despicable guesses casually are smart people? You don't think about it. This idea is to belittle Princess Ding Meng, but what is really involved is King Ding. Is this idea very glorious? It is passed into King Ding's ears, whether it is true or false, can he be happy?"
Li suddenly realized and remembered the teachings of Mrs. Xue, saying that he could not talk about right and wrong behind his back. Even if others insisted on saying it, he should not listen to it himself, so as not to get together and reach the ears of the person involved. Who can tell who said that sentence? He offended people for nothing, but if he didn't listen or say it, he would just look at it. Do you understand nothing?
When dealing with ladies, they only know how to pretend to be deaf or aloof all day long, which can easily arouse others' disgust and not make friends with you.
Li's face was full of entanglement.
The old concubine Xue could only shake her head secretly. Some things depend on individual adaptability and dealing with others. There is no unchanging rule. What can be said, what can't be said, what should be helped, what can't be offended, and what can't be offended, also depends on personal judgment. She can't give it one by one. In the end, she could only say: "Now you just need to know that the Montessus is not simple. King Ding is in a high position, so you must not offend her. As for Mrs. Ning... After reading this in the past few years, she has been all
Wu Growing up, look at what she is dressing today? She is wearing heavy makeup and is more beautiful than her new bride? She is a concubine, but she is still from a legitimate daughter, which really makes her look like a legitimate daughter. So I have always taught you that marrying a wife depends on her character, and secondly, the family background. As long as you are good, everything can be taught slowly. If you have a bad character, it will be in vain. No wonder what the Ning family has not yet become like now? All the daughters taught can't be on the table."
Li agreed with this very much. Mrs. Ning is a sarcastic person and a petty and stingy person. For this reason, when she married her son's wife, Mrs. Xue personally asked about it. She did not ask for a good family background, but only asked for a girl to be smart and save a lot of trouble. She can live a comfortable life now entirely because she married a capable daughter-in-law. If she married a lady like Mrs. Ning, she would be so worried.
On the other end, Su Yiqing and Lian Yufeng had a meal together, and by the way, he summarized the situation of kissing this time, the attitude of the old concubine Xue, etc.
Everything today is expected. Old Concubine Xue is kind to others and it is normal for her to maintain her. She is now Princess Ding, and it is always good to have a vision to curry favor with her. This is not a difficult thing. What surprised her was Mrs. Ning. Thinking of Mrs. Ning's age, she couldn't help but stare at Lian Yufeng's handsome face and asked: "You said that after the Ning cousin is gone, the Ning family wants to marry another daughter. Could it be this Mrs. Ning?"
Lian Yufeng picked up a steamed rib for her and said lightly: "It's not her turn."
Su Yiqing frowned and looked at the chopped green onions on the ribs without moving her chopsticks.
"What's wrong?" Lian Yufeng asked, "I won't lose my appetite for this little thing, right?"
"No." Su Yiqing smiled embarrassedly, "I... don't like eating onions."
"Oh! I'll tell the kitchen to try not to put on the green onions for the dishes you cooked." Lian Yufeng put the ribs into his bowl and also picked up a piece of mutton for her.
Su Yiqing still didn't move.
Lian Yufeng was surprised: "You won't even eat mutton, right?"
Su Yiqing still smiled embarrassedly, "If you have a choice, you won't eat it."
"It's not a good thing to pick on food." Lian Yufeng chuckled, "You'd better not be too picky."
"Don't you remember my preferences and keep them to heart all the time?" Su Yiqing raised her eyebrows and deliberately pretended to be angry, "Or, are you just saying it?"
Lian Yufeng said: "I don't have three heads and six arms. Just let the servants remember this kind of thing. I have to keep my mind to provide the conditions that can give those I like to be picky. If I don't even have the qualifications to be picky, so what if I remember it? I don't have to choose. You have to eat it even if you like it, and you have to eat it even if you don't like it, it's meaningless."
Well, Su Yiqing admits that the so-called romantic interest has nothing to do with both of them.
For dinner, Lian Yufeng went to the study to handle business.
Su Yiqing was alone in the house. Thinking of the situation where she would kiss today, she ordered Lu Teng, "Go and see if there are any fruits that are hard to buy outside in the mansion, and send some to Concubine Xue."
Luocao replied: "Report to the princess, there are sweet oranges from the south that were transported yesterday in the mansion. This kind of orange was not bought outside. The prince likes to eat it. Everyone is ordered to be transported by a fast ship every year."
Madam Qing interrupted, "Princess, no matter how good the orange is, it is just a fruit. Just try it fresh. After all, the Prince of Guo County is also a royal palace. Isn't this ceremony a little light?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
