Chapter 318
"Yuhan, shut up!" Ms. Pei couldn't bear it anymore. This niece from her mother's family really made her more and more disappointed. Before, she was just a little bit petty and crying, but now it's better. She did the thing of framing her sisters without even thinking about it. , this is not a question of upbringing, but a question of character. Especially when Anshi looked on with such cold eyes, Pei knew how much her younger brother and sister loved her daughter. If she didn't give an explanation, the relationship that had finally gotten better now would probably fall into a state of rigidity again.
"Aunt, I also have good intentions." Pei Yuhan still wanted to quibble.
"That's enough! What I usually teach you, those words are all in vain. You let me down so much. Why don't you shut up and stand aside? Let's talk about it when we get back." Pei's tone was unprecedented. of severity
Su Wenyue watched coldly from the side and felt that it was enough. After all, she still had to take care of Pei's face. The Pei family's cousin was not sensible. She couldn't make Pei's face too ugly. Then she said: "Auntie, don't be angry. Cousin Yuhan is young after all. "It's okay to be ignorant. I believe she has no ill intentions."
After Su Wenyue finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhizhou with an apologetic smile: "Please forgive me, Mrs. Zhizhou. It's not that I don't want to do my best for Mrs. Zhizhou, let alone the money. I really have more than enough. But my strength is not enough. Due to the pain caused by the difficult childbirth, the doctor specifically asked me to take good care of myself. My husband did not allow me to work too hard. I don’t have much time to sew and thread, and it took a long time to embroider my aunt’s clothes. , After all, this is too labor-intensive, and the one I am wearing was also made by the embroiderer at home. "
"Is the dress you are wearing made by an embroiderer? The stitching looks very similar to Mrs. Hou's dress." Mrs. Zhizhou asked with some surprise. It was not that she doubted Su Wenyue's words, but she actually took a wrong look.
"No wonder Mrs. Zhizhou didn't separate it out. My embroidery girl is very good at it. Because I have limited energy, not only is my body unable to bear it, but I also have a lot of things to do at home. I felt that it would be a pity that such a good skill would be wasted in my hands, so I taught her a lesson. "My embroiderer, if Mrs. Zhizhou likes it, how about I draw the pattern and let my embroiderer make one for you?"
"That's fine, I'll just wait for the clothes to be worn." Seeing that Su Wenyue was willing to draw the Yang family and let the embroiderer make clothes for her, Mrs. Zhizhou happily accepted Su Wenyue's kindness. She was not the ignorant mother-in-law of Mrs. Hou. Niece, although Mrs. Su is not as high-status as her, she is also the sixth-ranking wife of Qianzong of the imperial court. There is no reason to regard her as an embroiderer. As for Mrs. Hou, she is her aunt and has a high status. She will not compare herself with her. .
When Pei Yuhan saw that Su Wenyue had solved her problems so easily and satisfied both Mr. Pei and Mrs. Zhizhou, Pei Yuhan felt more and more angry and unwilling. However, due to Ms. Pei's stern warning, she remained silent and had a sullen face. Just sit there.
Many ladies shook their heads secretly when they saw Pei Yuhan like this. Originally, they thought that Pei Yuhan was the daughter of the magistrate of Jiangzhou, and her aunt was Mrs. Hou. Her status was really not low, so the girl she brought up should be pretty good. Yes, they asked their daughters to go over and make friends. Some even had boys of the same age at home who were still thinking about getting married. After seeing Pei Yuhan's actions and performance, they all gave up the idea.
No matter how high their status is, they can't bear this kind of character. If they marry a virtuous wife and marry a troublemaker, let alone respecting their elders and taking care of the house, it will be difficult to live a peaceful life for a few days, let alone other things. .
Pei Yuhan was always a sensitive person, so she could not notice the changes in the attitude of these ladies towards her. While she was angry, her face became more and more gloomy.
Although Mrs. Pei was talking to others, she did not ignore Pei Yuhan's performance. She became more and more disappointed and helpless. It would be better for her niece to get married as soon as possible, and not to raise her to foster hatred. She had previously blamed her step-sister-in-law. She raised people crookedly. Now it seems that this may not be the fault of her sister-in-law. Some people are bad at heart. Her niece has been with her for a long time. She thinks that this aunt is still good to her and she tries her best to educate her. , but she could clearly feel the resentment on her niece's body, and there was no trace of gratitude. If so, she wouldn't have said such words to embarrass her today.
When it was time for the luncheon, Mrs. Zhizhou took them to the hall to sit down. The maids brought the meals one after another. The people sitting in the hall here were all people of some status. They all knew each other outside just now. She was the only one who sat there. There were two people in the distance that she didn't recognize, and judging from the seat arrangement, her status was quite high. She had taken advantage of Mr. Pei, otherwise she would have been seated in a middle-to-back seat.
When Mrs. Zhizhou hosted a banquet, the standard was certainly not bad. The dishes were considered sumptuous at this time. Those in the front seats had several plates of fruit on each table, while those in the back only had one plate. The portion is not that big either.
Many people praised the delicious food at Mrs. Zhizhou's house. Su Wenyue was used to eating the food at home. When she ate the food at Mrs. Zhizhou's house, she thought it tasted just average. However, she felt a little hungry when she saw the way the next table thought the little girl was eating.
Su Wenyue looked at the little girl and found it very interesting. Although many people praised the delicious food, she tasted it politely and paid attention to the etiquette at the table. Only this little girl did not talk to others and only focused on the food. On top of the table full of food, the food is so delicious that people can't help but have an appetite just looking at it.
To be precise, the description of "little girl" is a bit inaccurate. This little girl also has a baby face and looks very young, but she is already dressed like a woman. In fact, she is not much different from Su Wenyue in age. However, Su Wenyue has lived a lifetime and her mentality has changed, so she treats her as a little girl. In the eyes of others, Su Wenyue and the little girl are not much different. After all, both of them look immature, and Su Wenyue is more mature in her dress.
Su Wenyue saw that the little girl had finished eating the magnolia meat slices on the table, and she was still a little unsatisfied. She asked the maid beside her to bring the ones on her table to the little girl. The little girl was stunned at first and looked at Su Wenyue. Su Wenyue looked at the little girl with a smile on her face, and the little girl responded with a sweet smile.
This magnolia slice was sent by Su Wenyue. Su Wenyue knew the taste when she ate it. Although she sent less to the wife of the prefect at the beginning, it was not much if it was used for a banquet, so there was only a small plate on each table, and only those who sat in the front could have this dish.
Su Wenyue watched the little girl not being on guard at all, and quickly finished the plate of magnolia slices that she asked the maid to bring over. The corners of her mouth twitched. This little girl was really a little foodie, especially after she finished eating the magnolia slices, her eyes were shining with wolfish light when she looked at other dishes.
