Chapter 26
Mrs. Meng is a real Jiangnan woman with delicate body and features. She always takes a gentle and gentle attitude with her every move. She is about the same age as an. Even an, who also pays attention to maintenance, looks older than her.
"Mrs. Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time." An Shi greets to come forward to smile a way.
With a gentle smile on Mrs. Meng's face, she quickly looked at Su Jingwen who was standing beside an's side and looked at her behind her. But at one glance, Mrs. Meng took back her sight.
"Yes, Mrs. su. I heard that the old lady was going to come back some time ago, and she had been preparing for it in her house until it was too late."
"We know Mrs. Meng's filial piety to the old lady better than anyone else. When you think of old man Meng's illness, Mrs. Meng can't help but stay in bed for three days and three nights."
After a while of greetings and compliments, an Shi met Mrs. Meng in person and entered the mansion.
Just walked into the main hall and sat down, an Shi touched Su Jingwen secretly. Just outside the door, Su Jingwen should salute Mrs. Meng, but the child seemed to be possessed and stood still!
Su Jingwen did not see Meng Xiuwen, some lost, but she soon raised a decent smile.
"Say hello to Mrs. Meng."
Su Jingwen's body is slightly blessed. The ceremony is very standard. Mrs. Meng's eyes are on her again.
"It's the second miss's birthday today. You don't have to be so polite."
An Shi frowned at Mrs. Meng's bland attitude. She had mentioned the marriage between the Su family and the Meng family to Mrs. Meng in a very obscure way before. Although Mrs. Meng didn't show her approval at that time, she seemed to have some intention. What's the meaning of this attitude today?
Mrs. Meng also casually said two sentences to Su Jingwen, asking people to take the birthday gift and then moved the topic away from Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen is not stupid. She can't feel the cold attitude of Mrs. Meng. For a while, she can't hang on her face.
Ann pinched her in secret.
"You don't have to be here with us. Go and greet the ladies who will celebrate your birthday."
"Yes."
Su Jingwen led a group of young ladies to the garden.
As soon as she arrived at the garden, three or two girls surrounded Su Jingwen.
"Sister Jingwen, you are so beautiful today." Speaking of a little girl with a round face, Hu Le, the daughter of the next county magistrate in Shunyang mansion, looks older than Su Jingwen.
"Look at what sister Hu said, as if sister Jingwen was not beautiful before." A little girl with a melon face took the conversation and took a provocative look at Hu le. Their fathers were all subordinates of Su Lun. When Su Lun arrived at Shunyang mansion, she knew that Su Jingwen was a favored girl, and would always bow to her.
"You!"
"What are you arguing about? Are you bored?" Su Jingwen can't bear to tear off the flowers in the garden and throw them to the ground, which makes them close their mouths.
"It's said that the elder sister above my sister is seriously ill and has been sent to Chuang Tzu to recuperate. In this way, it's better not to get in the way of sister Jingwen's eyes." Hu Le knows that Su Jingwen hates Su Muge most. Whenever he belittles Su Muge, he is right.
Sure enough, Su Jingwen's face sneered with pride as soon as someone belittled Su Muge.
"Hum, if you go to Chuang Tzu to get sick, it's clear that you're running away with a wild man!"
Several people listened, all surprised stare round eyes.
"What sister Jingwen said is true?"
Miss Guan ran away with a man. It's light if you catch it and soak it in a pigsty!
"What do I lie to you? Or is my mother good enough to cover for her, otherwise, where can I send her to Chuang Tzu to cure her? "
"My God, Miss Su's courage is too much!"
The face of an Shi standing at the entrance of the garden is very ugly. She wants to raise her smile and pretend that she didn't hear anything, but these people are not deaf. Su Jingwen's voice is not small, but they can hear every word clearly!
Mrs. Meng, who was standing aside, looked at an's face in a dim and unclear way. An could only choke her teeth and sob: "really, I really let all the ladies see the joke. This is the domestic clown. No one expected that the child Muge would do such a thing. Since she was a child, she followed her elder sister. It's also a good thing to look at her everyday......"
Apart from Mrs. Meng, most of the people who came to visit the garden with an's family were the wives in charge of Shunyang mansion. There were not many people who knew about the capital at that time. They thought that only Mrs. Meng knew who an's wife was talking about.
"Mrs. Su's mind is relaxed. Don't worry about those little girls. If they are not serious masters, how can they compare with Mrs. Su? If you look at the second miss, she is dignified and virtuous, you will know that she is very well-educated."
"That's it."
An Shi listened to these words, the smile of the corner of the mouth almost did not suppress.
Xiaoniang, Zhao Shi, do you hear me!
"Look at the day is getting bigger. Don't sit in the room." Mrs. Meng suddenly opened her mouth, and an thought that she was trying to get rid of her encirclement, so she led all the ladies away.However, Su Muge's elopement with men soon spread to the Su mansion.
……
Meng's carriage slowly drove into the gate.
After entering the city, the carriage did not go in the direction of the Meng mansion, but all the way to the door of the Su mansion.
When the carriage stopped, they happened to be at the theatre.
A servant girl in a blue dress hurried to Mrs. Meng's side to whisper. Mrs. Meng listened and looked up at Su Jingwen, who was sitting next to an's side in surprise.
Su Jingwen is immersed in Su Muge's feeling of being belittled. She doesn't notice Mrs. Meng's eyes at all. To the side of an's house, she sees the abnormality. Before she can ask, Mammy Li has come to her side.
"Master Meng and his wife are here!"
"What?"
The surprise on an's face was no less than that of Mrs. Meng, who just looked at Su Jingwen for fear that she could not imagine that the birth of a Zhizhou's daughter could disturb her husband and mother-in-law.
An hurriedly stands up and pulls aside Su Jingwen, who is still. "Come on, get ready."
At this time, Mrs. Meng also stood up and went out with an.
The left ladies looked puzzled.
"What happened? It's strange to see the faces of Mrs. Su and Mrs. Meng. "
"I don't know. Let's go and watch it. I'm afraid some plays haven't finished." A lady in yellow covers her lips and smiles.
Although they had just said the respectful words in the garden, they were just like the words of an. The young lady in the family ran away with others, which was a scandal to be covered to death. But the young lady su er said it in front of so many people, and the education in it can be seen.
Outside the gate, Mrs. Meng's submissive wife, Mrs. Meng Lao, an Shi, brings Su Jingwen to meet her.
"Old lady, please." Mrs. Meng nodded, but did not hurry to walk, but looked behind her.
"What about the child, who hasn't come to the old lady yet, and what is he doing behind him?"
As soon as Mrs. Meng's words came out of everyone's sight, they all fell behind Mrs. Meng. When she saw a thin figure coming out, an's eyes widened incredibly!
Su Muge!
How could she be with Mrs. Meng!
"How are you! Su Muge, didn't you elope with someone? I still have the face to come back! " Su Jingwen shouted directly.
Su Muge wore a smoky green Ru skirt. The style was popular in Shunyang mansion several years ago. There was only a jade hairpin on the black hair temples. This dress was inferior to the big servant girls in some big families.
Su Muge seems to have not received any unusual eyes at all. She walks to Mrs. Meng and holds her hand gently.
Mrs. Meng smiled contentedly and looked at Su Jingwen.
"Is this miss su er?"
Old lady Meng looks indifferent, which makes Su Jingwen shrink in fear.
Andersen had to press forward with questions and anger. "Back to the old lady, that's right."
Mrs Meng nodded.
"What did she say just now?"
"Here..."
Su Jingwen sees that an Shi doesn't speak, and Su Muge is angry at her high appearance!
"Old lady, this is my big sister. Not long ago, she went back to nanchengfu on holiday to see the name of her foreign home and eloped with the man! I didn't expect that she still has the face to come back now. She won't be abandoned. There's no place to think about coming back! "
"Jingwen, what are you talking about!"
"Niang, the daughter didn't say anything wrong. Isn't she still afraid of what she did?"
"It's shameless to be abandoned by a man and have the face to come back. If I were, I would have been hanged by pulling a rope!"
"That's right. How can there be such a shameless person in the world?"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Meng's hoarse and angry voice calmed everyone down.
"Old lady Meng, you must not be cheated by her!" Su Jingwen wants to argue.
"This child is following my old lady all the way. I haven't seen any man or no man! It's really chilling for you to slander your sisters at home! "
When old lady Meng said this, an's face suddenly turned pale with fear.
The Meng family doesn't say it's in Shunyang mansion, it's also important in the capital. If Su Jingwen disagrees with her sister and slanders her sister, she won't want to marry a good family in the future!
"Jingwen, what are you talking about? Miss is too tired today. Please help her in to have a rest!"
The servant girl behind Su Jingwen hurriedly supports Su Jingwen. What else does Su Jingwen want to say? You can see that an's ugly face can only leave unwillingly.
"Old lady Meng forgives me. I spoiled the child. I will punish her severely later." An Shi hurriedly confessed to Su Muge, but he had doubts in his eyes when he looked at Su Muge. Many people saw him.
"Muge, where have you been these days? Your father sent someone to escort you back to the south city. Why did you run in the middle of the road? It's killing me and your father. "An's determined to make su Muge lose her reputation and make her daughter look ugly. How could she let her go!
"Mrs. Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time." An Shi greets to come forward to smile a way.
With a gentle smile on Mrs. Meng's face, she quickly looked at Su Jingwen who was standing beside an's side and looked at her behind her. But at one glance, Mrs. Meng took back her sight.
"Yes, Mrs. su. I heard that the old lady was going to come back some time ago, and she had been preparing for it in her house until it was too late."
