Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 223: The last rule to help liven up the atmosphere
The welcoming banquet was held in the front yard.
The old lady of the Xie Mansion, Xie Anfeng, Xie Yu, Xu, and the second wife of Xie were all here.
One area for men and another area for women.
Old Madam Xie, the old lady of the Bo Mansion, Mrs. Lu, Second Madam Xie, Xie Zhaozhao, Xie Xiangxiang and others were all at one table, while the other female members of the family were at different tables.
Guan Yingying is a female guest. No matter how much Gu Chengyan dotes on her, she can never go to the male guests' side.
"I don't want to eat while looking at Xie Zhaozhao's face," she said to Gu Chengyan with jealousy, "I'd rather eat a bowl of porridge in the mulberry garden."
Gu Chengyan originally agreed, but Xie Xiangxiang said seriously: "No, all the concubines in the other courtyards will participate, is she the only one who is special?"
"If you don't go and tell us, who will take care of our yard's affairs?" Gu Chengyan looked at Xie Xiangxiang unhappily, "She doesn't want to participate."
Xie Xiangxiang sneered and said, "Are these rules all for dogs? If you want to break the rules for her, go and tell Second Aunt and Grandmother yourself."
Gu Chengyan asked for leave from Lu, but Lu had already received Xie Zhaozhao's reminder and refused outright: "No, there are rules that must be followed, otherwise all the concubines will follow suit, and what will happen to this mansion?"
Guan Yingying had no choice but to attend the banquet.
Guan Yingying didn't know where she should sit. She just thought it was like a banquet in her previous life, where she could sit wherever there was an empty seat.
Seeing Rushi bringing Gu Yuebai, she walked over and said happily, "Baibai, can I feed you?"
Gu Yuebai said happily: "Mom, Baibai misses you and wants you to feed me."
Guan Yingying sat happily next to Gu Yuebai, picked up a piece of fish belly meat, picked out the bones, and put it on the plate for Gu Yuebai.
Xu also came to attend her eldest daughter's welcoming banquet today. She sat next to Xie Xiangxiang and saw Guan Yingying. She asked Lu, "My dear, that woman is the eldest young master's concubine, right?"
When Mrs. Lu saw that she was talking about Concubine Yue, she immediately knew that Mrs. Xu was unhappy, because Concubine Yue was caught adultering by her in-laws themselves.
Mrs. Lu said to Siqin beside her, "Go, call Aunt Yue over to serve the eldest young lady."
Xie Xiangxiang said to Madam Wei, "Teach Madam Yue some manners."
Siqin and Nanny Wei came to Guan Yingying and one of them said, "Madam Yue, you can't sit down."
One said, "You are the aunt, and Young Master Yuebai is the master. You are not qualified to ask him to call you mother. His mother is only the Young Madam."
Madam Wei squatted down and said to Gu Yuebai, "Aunt Yue is your aunt, not your mother. Your mother only has a wife."
Gu Yuebai nodded and quickly admitted her mistake: "Baibai knows, she is my aunt, Baibai will change in the future."
Guan Yingying's bench was pulled away and she was pulled up. Rushi hurriedly took the fish that was peeled for Gu Yuebai.
Guan Yingying was led over by Wei Ma and Siqin, and served Xie Xiangxiang behind her.
A thousand alpacas were roaring through her mind, and Guan Yingying cursed everyone in the Bo Mansion and Xie Xiangxiang a thousand times.
Seeing her standing there in a defiant manner, and not serving Xie Xiangxiang dishes or soup, Xu frowned and said to Lu, "Auntie Yue came into the mansion, and no one taught her the rules?"
Mrs. Lu cursed, "Mrs. Yue, you don't look stupid, but don't you know how to learn the rules?"
Said to Siqin: "After the banquet, arrange for Aunt Yue to learn the rules. She can eat and sleep when she learns them."
There is an old nanny in the mansion who teaches etiquette. Guan Yingying had a miscarriage due to being beaten a while ago, and her injuries have not healed yet. She is also protected by Gu Chengyan, so she did not learn the rules well.
Thinking about the injustice Xie Xiangxiang had suffered, Xu didn't want to let Guan Yingying go.
She said to Lu: "Then from now on, learn to serve the mistress first."
Wei Ma said to Guan Yingying coldly, "Madam Yue, watch over the young mistress. If she wants to eat something, you should pick it up immediately. If she wants to wipe her hands, you should bring her a towel immediately."
Guan Yingying was unwilling in her heart, but with so many women eyeing her covetously, a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him.
After a while, she saw Xie Xiangxiang reaching out her hand. She thought she wanted to drink soup, so she immediately went to scoop a spoonful. However, when Xie Xiangxiang reached out her hand, she accidentally knocked the spoon over, spilling it all over Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie was a guest after all, so she was too embarrassed to scold her. She said to Mrs. Lu, "My dear, please take me to change my clothes."
Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said to Mrs. Xie, "Second Aunt, let's go to my Qingpu Courtyard."
Mrs. Lu was too busy, so it would be best if Xie Zhaozhao could take her to change clothes.
Xie Xiangxiang said to Guan Yingying, "Aunt Yue, go to grandmother's small Buddhist temple and kneel for two full hours."
Send Anxiang to go with her and supervise Guan Yingying to kneel for two full hours.
Guan Yingying felt like a thousand alpacas were running through her mind, but she had no choice but to go to the old lady's small Buddhist temple.
The Buddhist hall is in a quiet corner at the back, close to Ci'en Temple, and is extremely quiet.
Pushing the door open, Anxiang pointed to the brick road in front of the Buddhist hall and said, "Aunt Yue, just kneel in the yard."
Guan Yingying pointed at the brick road and protested: "Won't my knees be broken if I kneel here for two hours?"
An Xiang sighed and said, "Be content. You made such a mistake today, and the master didn't beat you on the spot. It's considered giving you face. Many masters have knelt in this place, kneeling to Guanyin, so it's not wronged for you."
Guan Yingying had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly. It was fine at first, but after kneeling for two quarters of an hour, she began to feel extremely uncomfortable in her knees. She gritted her teeth and endured for half an hour, then she began to look around.
An Xiang couldn't help scolding her: "Madam Yue, two hours is really not a long time. Madam is the most kind-hearted mistress in the mansion, you should at least give her some face."
Guan Yingying looked around and saw that there was no one around. She discussed with Anxiang, "Anxiang, please do me a favor. They are having a feast and no one will come to check. I will give you the gold hairpin that Chengyan bought for me later."
An Xiang's eyes sparkled, but she still whispered, "Aunt Yue, you better abide by the rules."
"How long have you been working in the mansion?"
"I have been here since I was a child."
"Have you ever thought about leaving? Don't you want to marry someone you like? Why do you want to be a lowly slave?"
An Xiang hurriedly said, "Aunt Yue, please stop stirring up trouble. I won't listen to you and will be beaten to death by my master."
Guan Yingying said, "I'm telling you the truth! I'm doing this for your own good. I can help you escape from here and stop being someone else's slave. You can make a living anywhere out there."
Hearing her sincere words, An Xiang looked around to see that there was no one around, took off the warm sleeves on her wrists, put them under Guan Yingying's knees, and whispered, "You don't have to kneel so straight, sit on your feet and take a rest for a while."
Guan Yingying then turned her feet inward and sat on the ground lazily.
Not long after, Xie Zhaozhao and Mrs. Xie returned to the banquet. Yuanyuan whispered to Xie Zhaozhao that Anxiang had helped Guan Yingying.
Xie Zhaozhao turned his eyes to Duo'er, and Yuanyuan understood. She secretly approached Xu's maid Duo'er and took her to the servants' area for the banquet.
During the feast, Yuanyuan said in confusion, "I just passed by the old lady's small Buddhist hall and saw Anxiang, the first-class maid beside the second young lady, chatting and laughing with Aunt Yue. She even took a gold hairpin from Aunt Yue. When did they become so close?"
Duo'er said disdainfully: "Anxiang is not born in the Xie family, so she is unreliable."
After the meal, Duo'er immediately told Xu that Guan Yingying had bribed the head maid around Xie Xiangxiang.
