The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wenyao sneered in her heart. The Meng family was the best at this trick. They coaxed her while suppressing her at the same time. They were very familiar with this PUA routine.

According to the routine, as long as she said she hadn't finished the embroidery yet, her aunt would belittle her for not knowing anything, and then coax her by saying that the Lu family didn't mind, eating her to death, and making her cry every time.

"No embroidery."

Meng Wenyao's strong words made Mrs. Wen Yuanhou instantly unable to deal with it. Why is this girl not ashamed at all? How should she answer the words? Just criticize directly and appear harsh. Don't criticize. It seems that the Lu family has no requirements for their daughter-in-law. Same.

The old lady could see it now. Meng Wenyao was afraid that she was still feeling uncomfortable, so she smiled and said: "This girl is just teasing you. She has been teasing Grandma Yang in the past few months. I am afraid she will almost embroider now." alright."

Aunt Yang is the embroidery master in the house. What the old lady meant was that Meng Wenyao had already embroidered, but she also said that she couldn't embroider by herself and had to find someone to help.

It gave my daughter the opportunity to criticize others.

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou was about to say a few words, how could the wedding dress be borrowed from someone else? Meng Wenyao answered: "Mama Yang's embroidery is not good-looking, and I don't like it. I heard that my mother's wedding dress back then, It took 10 embroiderers in Suzhou half a year to embroider it. I have already written to my grandmother and asked Suzhou to embroider it."

This is straightforward. I have not embroidered a wedding dress, nor do I plan to embroider a wedding dress. Besides, I don’t like the craftsmanship of my aunt.

Now everyone is no longer good at it. The daughter's family can show off their talent by embroidering their own wedding clothes and gain a good reputation.

But the family was rich, so it was reasonable to pay a lot of money for the embroiderer to embroider. Madam Wen Yuanhou picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea to hide her discomfort.

Mrs. Meng couldn't hide her smile any longer and said happily: "You child, your wedding date is three months away. If it takes half a year to embroider this wedding dress, wouldn't it be a delay?"

Meng Wenyao acted like a little daughter and said innocently: "What does it matter? Didn't my grandmother say she was reluctant to let me get married? She just postponed the wedding for a few months. Isn't it just right?"

When Mrs. Wen Yuanhou returned to the house, she threw a whole set of porcelain, and the nun next to her was so angry that she didn't dare to show it.

The eldest lady Lu Nanchu didn't know anything. When she entered her mother's yard, she asked, "Mother, did you bring me a new face today?"

After entering the door, I found broken porcelain pieces on the floor. I winked at the nanny next to me, and she whispered what happened today.

Lu Nanchu said calmly: "This is not a big deal. The wedding has been postponed for just a few months. Are our Lu family still in a hurry to marry her? Why is mother so angry?"

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou pointed to her daughter's nose and said, "Who am I doing this for, and not for you?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Do you have any brains? The Prince of Anping County is about to be crowned, and the Queen Mother has already selected a concubine for her. How can our family stand out among so many nobles? Shouldn't we use money to help the Queen Mother's family support the family?"

Lu Nanchu didn't understand anymore and said in confusion: "Then take it. As long as I become the princess of Anping County, I will be the future queen. Then I will have all kinds of wealth and honor."

"You!" Marquis Wen Yuan pointed at the tip of her daughter's nose angrily and said angrily: "You think you can buy the princess of Anping County with eight thousand taels of ten thousand taels. Back then, the Queen Mother's family delayed the war, and the whole family The older men of the clan were all killed by the emperor, and the hall has been in disarray over the years.

It would take not just hundreds of thousands but hundreds of thousands to establish the Queen Mother's clan. How can our family have so much money? We can only rely on Meng Wenyao's dowry. If she enters the family one day later, you will become the princess of Anping County one day later. "

It turned out that it was because of this that Lu Nanchu was still confused and said: "The Queen Mother is already the Queen Mother. She is so rich and powerful that we don't need any money."

Mrs. Wenyuan Hou sighed heavily, a little doubtful of her daughter's mind and whether she could survive in the harem in the future.

"The Queen Mother's family was in charge of the 50-strong army in Northern Xinjiang. The family was so famous that the late emperor did not dare to offend the Queen at that time. Later, the Emperor ascended the throne. Because of the poor defense of Northern Xinjiang due to the Queen Mother's family, the barbarians almost came to the capital. The Emperor personally led the expedition at that time. , won the battle and slaughtered all the men over 10 years old from the Queen Mother's mother clan.

During these years of oppression by the emperor, no one from the Queen Mother's mother's family could stand out. The war also left the treasury empty for many years. The Queen Mother was not rich and could not help the orphans and widows in her mother's family. In terms of power, the emperor is suppressing it, so no one dares to move it, but in terms of money, we can use our strength. As long as we help the Queen Mother's family reestablish itself in the capital, the Queen Mother will definitely let the Prince of Anping County choose you as his concubine. "

Having said this, Lu Nanchu understood a little bit. In short, it took money to stand out among the ladies.

"Will it cost a lot of money?"

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou sighed heavily and said: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you don't live in the house. A better house in the capital costs tens of thousands of taels, or even tens of thousands of taels. Marrying a daughter-in-law and a daughter also costs thousands of taels." . The children of the Queen Mother’s family have all grown up, and it’s time to buy land, marry a wife and have children, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.”

Lu Nanchu never thought that one day she would have to curry favor with Meng Wenyao, whom she despised the most, but in order to gain the Queen Mother's favor, all the humiliation was worth it.

"Mom, I'll go to my grandfather's house tomorrow to coax that little fool."

If Lu Chenghuan tried to coax her, the effect would be better. However, Lu Chenghuan really hated Meng Wenyao, and Mrs. Wen Yuanhou had no other choice but to do this.

After Meng Wenyao made Madam Wen Yuan away in the morning, she was in a good mood. In the afternoon, she sang a ditty and copied scriptures for her mother.

During this period, Meng Baiqin and Meng Qiu Shuang came to play with her, but she refused them all. Thinking about their expressions, she felt funny.

The happy day was over again, and the secret guard continued to report progress to the emperor.

"Ms. Meng was able to eat and sleep all day today, and she happily kept singing songs in the afternoon."

It was only the second day, but the emperor didn't think a miracle would happen and said: "Keep watching."

Early in the morning on the third day, Lu Nanchu came to the door, and all the maids and women in Ninghui Hall gathered around Lu Nanchu.

Lu Nanchu also said from time to time: "My mother made too many new clothes, but there is no suitable matching for her hair and face."

"The head and face gemstones sent by Yinlou are too small and can't even support my makeup."

"The Queen Mother said that my piano has become so perfect that it is almost as good as my embroidery work."

It was really a scene of the noble daily life of a wealthy lady. The three sisters of the Meng family stood there honestly, and no one answered.

The old lady started to smooth things over again: "You little sisters are playing together, what are you doing in front of me, an old lady?"

Several ladies came to the garden. As the most decent person, Meng Baiqin did not want to let Lu Nanchu lose her dignity, so she had to keep looking for topics.

"Cousin, let's go buy some rouge together tomorrow."

"Ah, I have to go to the palace tomorrow to attend the Queen Mother's flower viewing banquet. I'm afraid I won't be able to make time. You don't go out often on weekdays. Why do you buy so much rouge?"

I beg my dear friends to add bookshelves, ?( ′???` ) to show my heart.
