Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

Chapter 297: Colorful revolving lantern and a touch of freshness in winter

The famous Miss Nanping Hou——Fu Aoquan, Miss Fu!

Every time she comes to Beijing, she can bring the freshest jokes to the circle of ladies in Beijing.

And there are no exceptions.

All kinds of brocades decorate her from head to toe, leaving no free space. The whole person is like a walking revolving lantern of multiple colors.

Especially when spinning.

So, at that time, there was always something good to say that something of hers had fallen off. She turned around to look, but didn't see it. Then she turned around and looked around. People around her were wearing fans and half-covering their faces and snickering, but Miss Fu herself didn't seem to know. of ~

Occasionally, someone would come forward to 'compliment'. Not only was Miss Fu not angry, but she had a happy smile on her face that she could hardly hide.

After all, she is an adopted daughter. She feels that if she is covered with gold, silver, and rich brocade, she is really born into a famous family.

The more despicable one is at heart, the more one likes to show off.

In the end, it becomes easier for people to see right away and see the opposite direction.

But the eldest lady of the Nanping Marquis Mansion seems to be different from others.

Others tried to persuade her once or twice and then stopped. The young lady seemed to be following the strings in her mind, getting better and better each time.

This stack of colorful revolving lanterns also blinks more and more every year.

When the old Marquis of the Marquis of Nanping passed away and people were observing filial piety, the colors could no longer be flashy, but the level was not lacking at all. You could say she was wrong. of.

The mother in charge around me didn't seem to know anything, and she probably couldn't persuade her.

I heard that because of the adopted daughter, the relationship with the old lady of the Hou Mansion was also estranged. It was probably because the old lady did not want to take care of her.

It turns out that when Mrs. Hou was still alive, she was ill every three days, and the busy young master and young lady of the Hou family couldn't take care of her. She didn't have any free time to spend on such an adopted daughter.

Neither the old lady nor Madam Hou were willing to meddle in her affairs. How could a mother who was in charge take care of her?

It was better when the old Marquis was still alive; now that Nanping Marquis has died in battle, even the Marquis's wife has changed, and Fu Aoquan is probably even less controlled.

I heard that Fu Aoquan will stay in Beijing for a long time this time. There will be a lot of fun in Beijing in the future~

Rumors have spread among the noble ladies in the capital for a long time, and they have been waiting to see Fu Aoquan enter the capital.

Every time Fu Aoquan comes to Kyoto, he wants to visit several mansions in one day, make appearances and have parties, without leaving any one behind.

This time it seems that Mrs. Hou fell seriously ill when she arrived in Beijing. Mrs. Lu, the doctor in the palace, went to the Hou Mansion every now and then, so Fu Aoquan could only keep his tail between his legs. If her aunt was still ill and she went out to socialize and had a bad reputation, I'm afraid Fu Aoquan would have wanted to join the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

I think it’s hard to look forward to today’s plum blossom appreciation banquet, so why not make a grand appearance?

I don’t know what this walking revolving lantern will look like this time.

It's just a pity that Marquis Nanping died in the battle. The emperor will definitely favor and care for the family members of Marquis Nanping's mansion. At this plum appreciation banquet, no matter how ingenious the colorful revolving lanterns are, others can only smile secretly and make some insinuations at most. She didn't understand it anyway and thought it was a compliment.

At this time, there is no conflict with the Nanping Marquis Mansion. The days ahead are long, and there will be plenty of fun in the capital in the future~

It is also very interesting to let someone admire himself for a while at the plum appreciation feast!

In this way, the carriages were crowded along the way, and many people would lift the curtains on the windows to look out from time to time.

It’s not intentional, just casually look outside the carriage, you might see the carriage of Nanping Marquis Mansion and Fu Aoquan, it would be fun to watch first.

But today there are so many carriages going to Meiyuan on the outskirts of Beijing. How can we meet them so easily?

But when it came to the plum garden, the carriage seemed to be completely unable to move.

The guard came to report that the Forbidden Army was already arranging for the carriages to stop in an orderly manner, but they would have to wait for a while longer.

The children of the aristocratic family who were riding horses were not restrained. They chatted and laughed and walked along both sides of the road to the plum garden.

The women and children in the carriage suddenly became bored.

But no matter how long it takes, you still have to wait. In addition to first-come, first-served, the imperial army will also arrange the order of carriages from each palace. For example, the carriage from the Duke's Palace will not wait for a long time even if it comes later. The Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet is held every year. According to the invitation list in the palace, as long as you are on the invitation list, you can enter the garden before noon. It is really difficult to pass the waiting time. Especially in the first few days, the temperature suddenly dropped. Although the carriage was heated by charcoal, there was still a cool breeze when the curtains were raised occasionally.

Nearby, I heard the laughter of children, and another noble girl in the carriage lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.

Which family's children are not afraid of freezing?

Although it seems that he is wearing thick clothes, it has not snowed today, and he is not afraid of wet shoes, but are he prepared to walk a mile or two?

Don't the children cry too?

The noble lady was surprised.

Just looking at her appearance, she clearly wasn't crying.

Not only did he not cry, he also laughed happily.

Children at such a young age are the most noisy. What fun is there with two bamboo poles?

Aren't you afraid of hurting the children?

Isn't there anyone in the house who cares about it?

The noble lady sighed in her heart, there really are all kinds of families.

Eh?

These children look like strangers, and the older children walking behind don't seem to have seen each other very often. The children in the front, who call mother, look young, and they haven't been seen in Beijing very often. Yes; and at this age, with such a big child, I'm afraid it's a step-in-law...

But which step-sibling is so courageous? Is she going to take the children of the family to the Plum Garden?

This?

Are there no elders in the family?

So, follow this bunch and look back.

There is an old lady, but she is also walking behind her?

Let the elderly at home walk to Plum Garden together?

The old lady didn’t seem to have any objections!

Which old lady in the house is not pampered and pampered to be able to come to today's plum blossom feast?

How can you endure this kind of grievance?

Although there are people helping me, the journey is so long...

Just seeing this, I was stunned - why does it seem that the old lady's body is not bad, not only can she walk, but she also seems to be more agile than the granddaughter beside her? !

The lady was a little confused.

But how can the old lady at home still let her daughter-in-law and granddaughter make nonsense like this?

Are you still fooling around together?

In this winter, if you catch a cold or something like that...

The noble girl couldn't figure it out, but she was huddled in the carriage and was bored. Apart from watching the young men from aristocratic families on horseback whizzing to the plum garden, and besides the carriages that didn't move very much on the road, this family was the only one worth seeing.

Moreover, not only myself, there seemed to be people at several adjacent carriages raising the curtains and watching quietly.

That’s right, there’s not much to see next to it.

The noble lady looked at the child again, but it was almost far away, and her back was turned, so she couldn't see anything except the old lady and her granddaughter who was supporting the old lady.

To be able to come to today's plum blossom feast, he is a stranger, and he probably doesn't have many mansions in total.

General Jiang Jiuyun's house, Huxi Yongninghou Mansion, and then... Nanping Houhou Mansion?

General Yun's family is mostly composed of sons and daughters. Although there are also female relatives, but I heard that the female relatives also ride horses and shoot arrows, they must have gone on horseback with their brothers - not the Yun family.

In the Yongninghou Mansion in Huxi, it seems that the old lady has passed away, but the old lady in front of her is clearly strong and strong and can walk such a long distance - not the Yongninghou Mansion.

Then there is only the Nanping Hou Mansion?

That's the old lady from the Nanping Hou Mansion!

There are indeed a bunch of children in the Marquis of Nanping Mansion, and they are similar in age to the ones just now. The one walking behind should be Fu Changge, who is going to the capital this time to seize the title. The one at the front is the Marquis of Nanping, the daughter of Ruan Shilang?

Then, the person walking behind and supporting the old lady is Fu Aoquan? !

Fu Aoquan? ! !

how come?

The noble girl's eyes almost popped out.

Fu Aoquan is famous for his colorful revolving door. Even if he is observing filial piety, the old Marquis passed away earlier and he is still observing filial piety. There is no bright red or purple, but he also piles on the colors that can be piled on his body. The silk and satin material has no bright colors, but the pattern On clothes and accessories, they are all conspicuous, sometimes even to the point of being bloated, but it has never been like this!

The person in front of me could not be seen clearly because it was from the side.

But her clothes are clearly light and elegant, so she looks a little more fresh and beautiful.

This kind of lightness and elegance is like natural uncarved jade, but the luster of the jade is still there, and an occasional glance can still make people feel like they are stunned.

How could it be Fu Aoquan?

They are completely different from each other!

Moreover, when did Fu Aoquan get into such good shape?

Either he is holding it up deliberately, pretending to be reserved, but his clothes are elegant but not elegant, just like imitating others. But the person in front of him is not only dressed simply, but also has an elegant and comfortable posture. He is not deliberately pretentious. Instead, he is simply supporting the old lady and doing the same thing. The profile of the face is still unclear, but it makes people feel very well-educated, and she has the demeanor of a noble lady...

Moreover, if you look carefully, he looks more and more like Fu Aoquan.

Could it be that it's really her?

But, in just a few months and less than a year...

Could it be that Fu Aoquan didn't come, but that distant relatives from the Nanping Marquis Mansion or relatives from the Antang Ruan family followed him to Beijing, and then followed him to the Plum Garden on the outskirts of Beijing today?

That's for sure.

Otherwise, who can really believe that a pheasant can turn into a phoenix? What's more, I have seen Fu Aoquan since I was a child.

Certainly not……

Driven by this thought, earlier I just stretched out my hand to lift up a gap in the cloth and looked out. Because I couldn't see clearly, the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and I stopped hiding behind it. But when I saw it clearly, I felt After he became more and more like Fu Aoquan, he didn't care about anything else; slowly, he simply lifted up the entire curtain, and even poked his body out a little, trying to find out the clues that he might have seen wrongly just now. , not the real Fu Aoquan.

So the more he looked, the more stunned his eyes became, and his expression became uglier.

It’s not that people can’t accept the kindness of others.

I just can't accept that the person you always thought was not very good, stepped on under your feet, or made fun of you is suddenly better than you.

This is impossible……

Correct!

Even though the person in front of me already thought it was Fu Aoquan, I still thought it was impossible.

Something must be wrong.

But when the woman in the carriage saw her daughter like this, she slowly put down the book in her hand and whispered, "Put down the curtain, what are you doing?"

When she heard her mother calling her, the noble girl came to her senses in a daze. Then she stopped her hand and looked at her mother who was looking at her, "Mother."

The woman said softly, "You are the eldest lady of the Taishi Mansion, a model of noble ladies in the capital. Why are you so surprised when you see me?"

Although the woman also knew that her daughter had just been in a trance for a moment, and she did not have the surprise written on her face like the daughter of another family in the carriage nearby, and she wished she could lean out half of her body to see what was going on; but the Grand Master The female family members of the house should not be like this in terms of background and upbringing when they encounter things. What's more, on the way to Meiyuan, there are forbidden troops guarding everywhere. There are not many guards from the Taishi Mansion, so there will be no trouble on the way.

The woman continued, "Your grandfather has told you a long time ago that you should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation. The Nanping Marquis Mansion itself is a century-old family, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. There was a big incident earlier, and the old Marquis was imprisoned. The Hou Mansion is in danger, Fu Boyun can hold up a precarious Hou Mansion by himself, and in front of him is just an adopted daughter who used to have no pretense. She has become clearer, so there is nothing surprising. "

After the lady finished speaking, Meng Jingyuan seemed to come back to her senses, "Did mother see it?"

When did this happen?

"Yes." The woman hummed softly, then looked down at the booklet in her hand again, and said calmly, "Remember, when you are looking at others in a daze, you will naturally not be able to see others looking at you."

Meng Jingyuan paused slightly, then responded, "Remember, mother."

"Do you still remember what your grandfather told you?" the lady asked again.

Meng Jingyuan nodded, "My grandfather is not in good health, so he did not come to the plum appreciation banquet today. If your Majesty asks, I will tell you this."

A satisfied smile finally appeared on the woman's face, but her voice was still calm, "Just rest, we'll be there later."

Meng Jingyuan nodded.

In the carriage, it was so quiet that the only sound was the mother and daughter turning over books.

Outside the carriage, there was a series of children's laughter like silver bells.

Meng Jingyuan still turned her eyes and looked.
