Chapter 709 Invitation
On the way back, after the carriage slowly drove out of Xiaohumu Lane, Chun'er, the maid beside Wang Lijun, was overjoyed, "Girl, there is no girl in Manjingzhao Mansion who is as lucky as a girl. An invitation from the Lord, girl, this is so sweet!"
Chun'er clasped her hands together, "It would be even better if the girl can win the flower fight and get the reward from the princess."
Wang Lijun was also so excited that she couldn't help herself. She tightly held the red and gold-stamped invitation card. It was made of fragrant cloud paper that is popular in the capital. The princess Duanxian is like a princess, with innate honor and admiration.
Back to Wang's house, Wang Lijun got out of the carriage at the second gate, she walked around the screen wall, and saw her concubine Wang Lilan walking over with three or four maidservants.
Wang Lilan blocked Wang Lijun's way. She raised her chin and looked high above her, "My good sister, where are you from? My aunt thought that my sister was lost, so she planned to report to Jingzhao Mansion."
Before Wang Lijun could speak, Chun'er couldn't help but said, "Miss is gone today..."
Wang Lijun stopped her, "Chun'er, don't talk nonsense. I went to the street today, Second Sister, what's the matter?"
Wang Lijun's mother, Mrs. Zhang, was Wang Yiming's first wife, but because Wang Lijun had a dystocia when she gave birth to Wang Lijun, her uterus was injured, and she was no longer pregnant.
When Wang Yiming went to business, he got a Yangzhou skinny horse, which was the Fang family. After becoming pregnant, Wang Yiming brought him back to the Wang family. After giving birth to Wang Lilan, he soon gave birth to Wang Yiming's only son.
Merchants are not like officials and eunuchs, who are afraid of the bad reputation of spoiling their concubines and destroying their wives. Wang Yiming loves his son, and with Fang's support, Fang's elder brother won the election, and made up the county magistrate of Changxing County. Shi's status in the Wang family has risen.
Fang's family is gentle and careless, because of her birth, she is better at dressing up than Zhang's. Even her walking demeanor has been imitated by the maids of the Wang family. In terms of the ability to win over Wang Yiming, she is a hundred times better than Zhang's.
"Come with me!" Wang Lilan didn't pay attention to this sister-in-law, but gave Wang Lijun a hard look, turned and walked in front.
Chun'er really couldn't understand it, and was about to speak up, but was stopped by Wang Lijun. Wang Lijun gave a warning with her eyes, but Chun'er had no choice but to lower her head and was defeated, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
After Mrs. Zhang moved out of the main courtyard on the grounds of recuperation, Mrs. Fang quickly moved in on the grounds of serving the master cheaply. Seeing her mother's yard being invaded by others, Wang Lijun's eyes flashed a look of sadness.
Sitting on the Arhat bed, Mrs. Fang saw Wang Lijun coming in, hurriedly stood up to greet her, took Wang Lijun's hand, and asked her to sit next to her, but left her raised daughter aside in the cold.
This scene happened to be seen by Wang Yiming who came out from the second room. He couldn't help but praise Fang's virtuousness in his heart, and beat Wang Lijun and said, "Lijun, your aunt is kind to you, you must remember it in your heart."
Fang smiled sweetly, bent her crescent-like eyes towards Wang Yiming, and said, "Look at what the master said, who made my sister treat Lan'er better than Jun'er? Everything I do is imitating my sister, and my sister is the real one." Virtuous."
Wang Yiming likes to listen to the words of harmony between his wife and concubine, so he sat down on a chair beside him with a purple clay pot, and listened to Fang's words to his daughter, "Your aunt will come in the future, bring your cousin over, I think, they It’s not easy to come here, and I want to take you out of the city to meet me.”
How can a concubine have a natal family, and dare to say something about her aunt and cousin in front of her first wife? Wang Lijun lowered her head, and a look of anger flashed in her eyes. When she raised her head, her face was full of smiles, and she didn't fight Li Fang, but took out his hand calmly and sat down on the chair, "Father, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the city in the future."
When Wang Yiming heard this, he was very angry and was about to get angry when Fang quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "My lord, the eldest girl is a person who has been educated and has been taught by his wife. She can't compare to us who can't get on the stage Well, logically, my natal family is not a serious natal family, so it's no wonder that the eldest girl refuses to go with me and lowers her status."
After Fang finished speaking, she said kindly to Wang Lijun, "Miss, I heard that Princess Chen is going to hold a flower party at the residence, do you know why?"
Wang Lijun was taken aback, thinking that Mrs. Fang knew about her sneaking to the Xiao Mansion, she glanced at Chun'er nervously, seeing that Chun'er was also shocked, she calmed down, "I don't know."
Fang said with satisfaction, "I only found out today that Princess Liyang is here, and I heard that she came for the marriage with the second son of Duke Lu."
Wang Lijun was suddenly angry, and she couldn't help but sneered, "What does Auntie mean by saying this? Could it have something to do with me?"
"It's fine if it doesn't matter. I'm doing it for the sake of the eldest girl. I'm afraid that the eldest lady still has some expectations." Fang said with a smile. It's good to do what you're supposed to do."
Wang Lijun stood up abruptly, and was about to turn around and leave when she heard a loud "pop" sound behind her. She bit her lip, and through her tearful eyes, she saw her father slapping the table with a raised palm. Wang Lilan smiled gloatingly at her, she felt angry and turned her head to look at her father.
"Sit down!" Wang Yiming said angrily, "The next day, Mrs. Fang will come. You follow your aunt to meet Mrs. Fang and Young Master Fang outside the city. This is my order."
Wang Lijun knew that the Fang family did not know what rhetoric was used to get her father to promise to marry her to the young master of the Fang family. In the past, there was a word that came from nowhere, saying that Mrs. Lu Guogong took a fancy to her and wanted to marry her Fang's thought stopped, and now, what the Duke of Lu's mansion said was probably a rumor, so Fang simply wrote a letter asking her natal sister-in-law to come over to discuss marriage.
"Father, my daughter really can't do it." Wang Lijun took out a red and gold-stamped invitation card and gave it to Wang Yiming, "The princess sent an invitation card to my daughter, asking her to attend the flower festival at the house the next day, and my daughter dare not not go. "
Ms. Fang was shocked. No one else knew how powerful Xie Zhiwei was and looked down on others. She knew it. She had always flattered Zhou Youjie's aunt.
She still remembered that on the day the Zhou family left, the aunt cried so much that she held her hand and talked about Xie Zhiwei's domineering for a long time.
A high-ranking prince and concubine, a county lord with food, wealth that can't be spent in dozens of lifetimes, such a person would actually post a post to a merchant's daughter?
But the post in front of him is true. After Wang Yiming saw it, he was so shocked that he stared at the post for a long time, with a smile like a flower blooming on his face, "This, this, this is what the princess gave you?"
