Chapter 250: Delusions and self-delusion
The next morning, yesterday, I received a wife from the tribes of the tribe sent by the Zhaoping County Lord to send to the Yuetuan tribe and the wives of the officials who came to the city to express their gratitude. The jewels and flavours in the side hall of Qiushuang Hall were also very jealous, and Song Ruoxi couldn't tell who they were. He kept a graceful smile on his face and greeted them.
There were many people coming. When they saw the ceremony, they would gossip at noon in just a few words. The banquet was ready long ago, and there was a difference between inside and outside. Men were drinking and talking in the main hall, while the women were having a banquet and chatting in the flower hall.
"Young lady, you are such a kind mother-in-law, so blessed," a noble lady said in a compliment.
"Yes, Zhaoping's sister-in-law treats her daughter-in-law like a girl. Last time she personally helped to handle Brother Hua's daughter-in-law's birthday party."
"Zhaoping's brother and sister-in-law are so kind to her daughter-in-law."
"The young lady is well-educated, virtuous and filial. How could the wife not love such a good daughter-in-law?" Another lady smiled.
"The young lady has a beautiful appearance and a good temperament..."
"Not only, Brother Hua's daughter-in-law can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the girl is red..."
This person praised the Lord Zhaoping and the other person praised Song Ruoxi for their cooperation, which seemed to be discussed. After hearing such good words, the Lord Zhaoping calmly waited for them to get to the topic.
The young ladies in each room and the young ladies in the official family also gave various compliments to Song Ruoxi.
Song Ruoxi was young and did not have a calm county lord Zhaoping, and he had goose bumps when he heard it. He took the opportunity of the patrol seat and quickly got up and left. Before he could reach the head of Zhaoping County lord Zhaoping County, he heard someone ask: "The young city lord and the young lady have a deep affection, and there is not even a concubine around him, which is enviable. However, the young city lord and the young lady have been married for a long time, and the happy news has not yet been heard. Madam, aren't you anxious?"
When Song Ruoxi heard this, his eyes turned slightly and stopped. The plum vase with canna and chrysanthemums in front of him just blocked her slender figure. In addition, there were a row of maids serving behind the women, blocking their sight. No one noticed that she had come over.
Xiang Xiu and Qinghe did not make any noise, and stood behind her with their hands hanging down.
Seeing that they finally got to the point, the Zhaoping County Lord put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned slightly and sighed: "How could he not be anxious?"
The old woman heard her answer and was happy and said, "Madam, the young city lord is your biological son. If you, a mother, don't plan for him, who else will consider him? Although the young lady is good, her offspring is more important."
"Madam, why are you marrying a wife? Isn't it just to have children, to spread the branches and pass on the family line."
"This is reasonable. Children are a big deal. Although the children born by the concubine were not born to the young lady, they are also the flesh and blood of Brother Hua."
The other people quickly helped and expressed the same meaning. Song Ruoxi was not pregnant for a long time, so it was probably difficult for his offspring. In order to avoid the loss of Ye Shuhua's successor, the county lord Zhaoping should take him a few concubines as soon as possible so that he could give birth to his offspring smoothly.
Song Ruoxi curled her lips and sneered silently.
"Some people are so concerned about the children of the young city lord, that it seems that I, my mother, don't pay enough attention to it." The Zhaoping County Lord was very annoyed by these people's attempt to interfere in Ye Shuhua's house. Not to mention Song Ruoxi's performance after marrying in, she was very satisfied. Even if she was not satisfied, it was her right to stuff people into Ye Shuhua's house. What has it to do with them? What qualifications do they have to point fingers? His eyes were sharp and he looked at the old woman, "I still remember that Mrs. Lu's daughter had nowhere to be married for five years, and Ling's son-in-law wanted to take a concubine. Mrs. Lu took her five nephews to persuade Ling's son-in-law, and finally let Ling's son-in-law take back her intention of taking a concubine. Mrs. Lu's love for daughters is praised by the world."
These words of open praise and secret mocking made Mrs. Lu lower her head in shame.
The Zhaoping County Lord's eyes turned and looked at another woman with a slightly cold expression. "Sister-in-law Ling'er should care more about Brother Jiu's daughter-in-law if she has time. She has been married for more than three years and has nothing to do. Although Brother Jiu is a concubine, she is also the flesh and blood of Brother Fu."
Mrs. Fu's face turned red and her head lowered.
The Zhaoping County Lord pointed out the women's disagreements one by one without mercy, and said with a majestic expression: "Your city lord cannot be asked about the matter. If there is another next time, don't blame me for showing mercy."
Seeing her angry, the woman present put away her thoughts, stood up, and bowed, "I am a traitor. Please forgive me."
They spoke very loudly, and they had already alarmed the people at other tables. Seeing that Zhaoping County Lord defended Song Ruoxi in such a way, Jiang Minghong stared at Song Ruoxi with a disgrace. What kind of magic method was she using? It didn't count if she was fascinated by Ye Shuhua, but she still asked her mother-in-law to stand on her side?
Song Ruoxi was very surprised by the Zhaoping County Lord’s direct refutation of their meaning. He walked over with emotion and shouted in a sweet voice: “Mother.”
"Why are you here? I didn't say that if you have calamus and the others, you don't need to come and serve him." The Zhaoping County Lord smiled.
"You will have to serve golden swallows later. You are drinking Schisandra tea, but you can't eat golden swallows. I'm afraid they won't remember it, so I'll come here to remind you." Song Ruoxi smiled.
Calamari yelled and bowed, saying, "I thank you for your reminder. I really forgot about this. I just told my wife that I would like to eat more golden swallows. My wife should eat more."
The face of the Zhaoping County Lord darkened, "I really can't count on you."
"I am wrong, my wife forgive me." Calamari said kneeling.
"Mother, since she knows the mistake of a small matter, she will not make any mistakes in the future, so you can give up your hands and spare her. If you are cruel next time, punish her severely." When Song Ruoxi said this, his eyes swept over the women standing.
Zhaoping County knew what to do and said, "Since the young lady is pleading for you, I'll spare you this time. Don't stand, sit down!"
"I, Mrs. Xie, pleads for me, for my servant." Calpu said loudly.
Those who were also reluctant to say in a low voice: "Thank you, Young Madam."
Song Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "Forget it, I'm very happy to serve my wife, and you must remember things in the future."
A smile flashed in the calamus's drooping eyes and said, "Yes, young lady."
"Mother, then I'll go back to my seat." Song Ruoxi smiled.
"Okay." The Zhaoping County Lord nodded with a smile.
Song Ruoxi turned around and returned to her original position to sit down. Most of the young ladies present looked at her with envious eyes. As a daughter-in-law, she was so capable of doing this.
The dishes were served. After eating, the remaining mats were removed. The maids brought fruits and freshly brewed tea, as well as toothpicks, mouthwash and incense towels.
When the female family persuaded Zhaoping County Lord to ask Ye Shuhua to take a concubine, they returned home in vain and did not dare to smear the tiger's beard again. They turned their "attention" eyes to another person.
This person is Jiang Minghong. They joked about this fifth lady for a long time. As the wife of the wife, they couldn't suppress the concubine, so they made the concubine pregnant first. They were too incompetent. In front of Jiang Minghong, they changed their faces, some cared for and comforted, and some taught their experiences. They were all the wife, and they had seductive vixen at home. They hated those concubines and everyone had sad tears.
Song Ruoxi was laughing at the side. These people were so conflicted. While hating their concubines and trying to get rid of them, they also pretended to be virtuous and took the initiative to help their husbands take the concubine.
Jiang Minghong seemed to have found a soulmate and had a great time talking to them.
After listening to the play, the male guest had a dispersed seat and said goodbye. The three families of Xiao'an from Ye also left the city and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Song Ruoxi helped the Zhaoping County Lord to get on the shoulder chariot, watched her leave, and ordered the maid to pack up her things. She was about to get on the shoulder chariot, when Jiang Minghong, who had just left the guest, shook out from somewhere, and said sarcastically: "Sister-in-law Yuxian is really capable. She can coax her husband and mother-in-law, and teach me a few tricks."
Song Ruoxi glanced at her sideways and said, "Teaching you? Make clothes with burlap bags."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by yourself? If you can't figure it out or understand it, just go to the Piyuan, which is more suitable for you." After that, Song Ruoxi got on the shoulder chariot.
Jiang Minghong asked the maid, "Where is the Pig Garden?"
The maid shrank back and did not dare to tell her.
"Let me tell me, where is it?" Jiang Minghong asked.
The maid lowered her head and said, "The pig courtyard is the place to raise pigs."
Jiang Minghong was furious and cursed loudly: "Song, you bitch, you are a pig! You are a shameless pig woman!"
Before Song Ruoxi could walk far away, he heard Jiang Minghong's scolding, and didn't care and sneer.
But the people who heard the scolding were not only Song Ruoxi, but also Ye Shuhua and Ye Xiaoliang who came to pick them up. The two immediately changed their faces.
Ye Xiaoliang quickly apologized to Ye Shuhua, "Brother, I'm very hugging..."
"Fifth brother, if you apologize, you don't have to say anything. If you can't control her, I will ask Cui Zhengsi of the Seixiaosi to teach her the rules." Ye Shuhua interrupted him and said coldly.
"Don't worry, brother, this is the last time. She will never offend her sister-in-law again in the future." Ye Xiaoliang said.
Ye Shuhua didn't want to talk to him much, so he walked forward quickly. After receiving Song Ruoxi, he went back to Shuyuyuan and ignored how Ye Xiaoliang taught Jiang Minghong a lesson.
When she returned to the room, Song Ruoxi told Ye Shuhua about what happened at the banquet and said, "From the future, I will be more filial to my mother and be kind to my mother."
Ye Shuhua laughed, "The best way to be filial to your mother is to have a few more grandchildren to hug her."
"Take a few more? How many do you want me to give birth?" Song Ruoxi looked bitter. She didn't want to become a bitch!
Ye Shuhua stretched out three fingers and said, "Three."
"Do you want to have three sons, or do you want to have only three sons regardless of whether it is a man or a woman?" Song Ruoxi asked.
"No matter whether it's a man or a woman, just give birth to three." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.
Song Ruoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, have three, two sons and one daughter."
The couple in Shuyu Courtyard were talking about love, loving love; but the whole martial arts were being performed in Muzhi Courtyard. Ye Xiaoliang drove the maid out and closed the door. He said nothing, and raised his fist and beat Jiang Minghong.
Jiang Minghong cried and shouted, "Husband, please spare me! Husband, I know I was wrong, I will never dare again. Husband, I was wrong..."
After beating Jiang Minghong, Ye Xiaoliang walked out the door, "Don't summon doctor Liang for her."
After saying that, Ye Xiaoliang went out to see Dong Jiawan.
The maids walked in and saw that Jiang Minghong, who was lying on the ground, was beyond recognition and was terrible.
