"Madam, my cousin is here."
Aunt Xu, her daughter-in-law Zhao, and her niece Jin Shuhui were talking when they heard a servant come to report.
She asked in confusion, "I heard that she was going to see the emperor today, so why is she here?"
To be honest, Aunt Xu is still quite afraid of Mi Niang. Everyone is afraid of fierce women, and educated ones are even more afraid of them. Moreover, she herself has no shortcomings. It is said that she would not accept the money Xu gave her privately. Fang Weiyan and his wife made great efforts to ensure that Fang Yaqing could marry the top scholar. My sister must be satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
This man was invincible and extremely self-disciplined. No matter how busy he was every day, he would always paint and write. Even Mrs. Zhang Xiang praised his literary talent.
Of course, her paintings are definitely not as good as those of real painters, but for her, it is already very good to be able to break into the circle with this.
Zhao saw that her mother-in-law looked obviously unhappy. She didn't know what the feud between the two was because she usually felt that Ruan was fine when she went to the Dong'an Marquis Mansion and she didn't show it much. But looking at her mother-in-law's expression today, she was afraid that it was more than what she saw on the surface.
Soon, a young woman wearing the sixth-rank Anren court dress walked in. Who else could it be but Ruan.
Mi Niang bowed as soon as she came in, "Hello, aunt."
Aunt Xu laughed awkwardly: "Hurry up and get up. I just heard from your mother-in-law that you entered the palace. Why are you here in our house?"
Jin Shuhui also found it strange. Could it be that Xu Jing had done something again? But this didn't make sense. If Xu Jing had done something wrong, it would be his aunt who came over.
But Aunt Xu would not be so stupid as to offend her. People say that it is better to bully the old and not the young. That means bullying the older people, because his future is limited anyway. But the young people have unlimited prospects and cannot be bullied casually.
Soon Jin Shuhui felt something was wrong because Mi Niang looked at her.
As expected, Mi Niang said, "It was not because of me that I came here. Today I know that this "Moon Shadow" was written by the second cousin of the Jin family. You said you wanted to write a storybook and we won't stop you, but your mean heart is really disgusting. The stepmother in your story corresponds to the aunt, and Lin Qingzheng is wearing a jade toad, which is also written about my husband. You are so shameless. You project all your unhappiness on us. If I hadn't heard from a few ladies, I really didn't know you were so vicious."
"What?" Aunt Xu had never seen "Moon Shadow", but because it was quite popular in the social circle, she asked someone about the general plot.
Jin Shuhui didn't expect her to be so straightforward and was stunned for a moment: "Cousin, what are you talking about?"
Mi Niang sneered: "You know exactly what I'm talking about. Put away your shameful little thoughts as soon as possible. You even wrote yourself as a pearl in the book, but I think you are at most a fish eye, a jealous fish eye, a sour chicken that is even sourer than pickled fish. You are nothing, but you still make up stories about others. The bad things in your family, I pity, the things of thieves and prostitutes. My mother-in-law is kind and has taken in you orphans and widows for many years, but you don't think about repaying her, but want to invade our house. Your sister runs to the man's yard every day, but he knows what to do and ignores you. Instead, he moves you out to give each other a decent life. You are so good, you are trying to steal Yaqing's fiancé in various ways. You have done terrible things yourself, but you made up stories in the book about Wei Yan wanting you but not being able to get you. Don't you look at what you are like?"
"With your ugly mind and short stature, even if you reincarnate for eight lifetimes, Wei Yan will still look down on you. No matter how you write me in your book, it won't change the fact that I am better than you. You used to flatter your aunt every day, but she looked down on you sisters. She wanted me to be her daughter-in-law after just one meeting with me. Your cousin is a flower in the sky for you, but he is deeply in love with me. Beauty does not lie in appearance, but in the heart. You are a shameless thing, and you even wrote in the book that you gave birth to eight sons, and you think about sex every day. I came here today to warn you, and your aunt and cousin's wife are witnesses. I am only exposing your fake face in front of relatives. If she fucks me, I will not be so easy to talk to."
"I will go to your husband's house and talk to him later. I will see how you can survive."
Jin Shuhui almost fainted after hearing this. In her previous life, Mi Niang also loved to cry when she had quarrels. Later, she developed this habit when she was fighting with other people in the tribe. When it comes to quarrels, few people can be her match.
Aunt Xu was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she also knew that Mi Niang had saved her face a little, for example, by saying that the Jin sisters had snatched Fang Yaqing's fiancé and not mentioning the matter of having a son.
"You dare not take responsibility for what you did, what a coward. You dare to make random comments about a person like him, bah."
It was Zhao who came out and asked, "Is this a mistake?"
She was trying to mediate, as a quarrel among relatives would not benefit anyone.
Fearing that Mi Niang would say something unpleasant, which would implicate Xu Jing, Aunt Xu quickly asked Jin Shuhui, "Did you really write that? And you even included me in the story."
Jin Shuhui shook her head and said no. Mi Niang snorted coldly: "Well, you don't want to admit it yourself, but you want me to make a name for you, right? If you admit it yourself, today we will just talk about it among our relatives. If I bring out evidence, it will be embarrassing for you if the matter gets out of hand."
She was not joking and said to Chuntao directly: "Go find someone."
Jin Shuhui watched Mi Niang really go looking for someone, and then she panicked and immediately knelt down, "Cousin, I'm sorry I wrote it randomly. It's actually because I have no experience and don't know other people, so I wrote about the people around me, but I didn't really mean to write about you."
Mi Niang clapped her hands, "Okay, okay, you finally admitted that you did it. You are really good at making excuses. You are not ignorant, you are just bad. Don't pretend to be pitiful. As if you are weak, you are right, and he is strong and he is scheming."
"Those people you have arranged in the book are the ones who have suffered the most."
Jin Shuhui said nothing. Mi Niang snorted coldly and said to Aunt Xu and Zhao: "I didn't mean to bully anyone. It's just that if people live in this world without fairness and justice, it doesn't mean you are right just because you show weakness. If I don't resist, we will be the ones bullied. As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. Although I scolded her harshly, I didn't really do anything to her in essence because I don't care about these ants and sour chickens. But Wei Yan is worried about my reputation, so Aunt and cousin-in-law should be careful with people like her. Otherwise, Aunt will sooner or later be exposed as the vicious stepmother who drugged her."
After leaving Xu's house, Mi Niang felt refreshed.
Xia Lian said, "Fourth Madam, this is just exposing her in the Xu family, will it be considered an exaggeration?"
Mi Niang laughed and said, "You know what? This is called hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part."
Jin Shuhui's only respectable relatives are the Xu family. The Dong'an Marquis' Mansion has not invited her for a long time, but if the Xu family breaks off relations with her, she will have no so-called natal family to speak of.
Aunt Jin of the Jin family is cowardly, and her half-brother is also a playboy.
To be honest, if Jin Shuhui had treated her stepson the same way she treated her own brother, the Jin family would at least have someone to support them, instead of having to rely on the Xu family now.
And since they had this leverage over her, Jin Shuhui must have been afraid that she would say those things in front of her husband. Which man would like his wife to be thinking about another man? Therefore, she didn't dare to do anything.
This achieved Mi Niang's goal.
Otherwise, a desperate dog may do something desperate, which may not be a good thing.
After she left, Aunt Xu also said to her: "Shuhui, I originally thought that you were different from your sister. I have always been good to you and even found such a good marriage for you. I never thought that you would treat me like this. We don't need to have any contact in the future."
"Aunt, I..."
"Don't worry, I will do the same as Wei Yan's wife and give you the last bit of dignity. I won't expose you in front of your husband, but in the future, our relationship will only be limited to the exchange of gifts."
Jin Shuhui was covered in cold sweat and felt as if she had been stripped of her clothes and stoned by others.
Zhao had already left. It was best not to get involved in such matters. When Xu Jing asked her about it, she said, "I was afraid that my wife would be embarrassed, so I came back first."
Although Zhao was not good-looking, she had a very good personality and Xu Jing respected her very much.
What's more, Zhao was the daughter of an official, and was very suitable to be the mistress. Which man in the world wouldn't want to have two wives, one who was both good-looking and capable of managing the household? But the reality was that one could only choose one.
When Xu Jing heard that Mi Niang was coming, he got goosebumps all over his body. Later, he heard that she was only scolding Jin Shuhui and didn't involve him, so Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Zhao asked, "I heard that cousin Jin also snatched cousin Fang's fiancé. Do you know if it was Su Zhuangyuan?"
"Hmm." Xu Jing hummed vaguely.
Mrs. Zhao was a little disdainful: "No matter what, you can't steal someone else's fiancé. This is not something a decent girl should do. It shows how bad her heart is."
Xu Jing felt guilty, so he held Zhao's hand and began to caress it. Zhao shyly asked, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
Xu Jing smiled and said, "Give me a big fat son.
After returning home, Mi Niang was refreshed. She went to Xu and told her what had happened. She also said, "I didn't kill her all. I only exposed her in front of my aunt. She refused to admit it at first, but I pretended to get evidence, and she finally admitted it."
Xu nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he looked at Mi Niang again and said, "Keep the pair of jade ruyi carefully, that's what's important."
"Yeah, okay."
Now Xu has no good feelings towards the Jin sisters.
This is also the result that Mi Niang wanted. When she returned to Fengwuyuan, the first thing she did was to sleep. Even if the king of heaven came, she had to sleep well to be in good spirits.
Xia Lian was pregnant, so Chun Tao asked her to go back and rest first, and asked two little girls to come and look after her.
Mi Niang's eyes were slightly narrowed at first, but she fell asleep in the end. When Fang Wei Yan came back, he saw her sleeping soundly and couldn't help laughing. It seemed that she was really tired.
When she woke up, there was a hand on her waist. The hand had distinct joints and long fingers. She chuckled softly, brought the hand to her lips and kissed it.
Fang Weiyan originally thought it was very light, and he woke up the moment she kissed him.
"Little lazy cat, your eyes are swollen from sleeping. Did you sleep well?"
Mi Niang nodded heavily: "I slept well, don't worry. Why did you come back so early today?"
"Knowing that you were going to the palace today, I came back early. How is it?"
"Of course I performed very well. The Queen Mother even rewarded me with a pair of jade ruyi. When I came out, I rushed to Xu's house and exposed Jin Shuhui's fake appearance."
Fang Weiyan smiled. This was something she could do.
But at the same time, Fang Weiyan also knew that Mi Niang was actually a very sensible person, especially when she knew that Empress Ruan, who lived a good life in her previous life, died in this life. This was enough to show how kind the Imperial Concubine, who was called a demon concubine in her previous life, was actually. Therefore, he did not want others to slander Mi Niang.
In the evening, the wet nurse brought Xian'er over. Xian'er was no longer picky about food because Mi Niang did not allow the servants to say what he could eat and what he could not eat when feeding him.
"I'm going to sleep with mom today." After eating a bite, the jealous boy looked at Mi Niang with his dark eyes.
It is said that a son resembles his mother, and it is true. He looks very much like Mi Niang, especially his eyes, which are almost identical. Fang Weiyan was jealous, knowing that this was his son.
He agreed before Mi Niang even said anything.
"What are you doing? I'm jealous that my brother just slept with us the day before yesterday. I want to read more tonight. You can take care of your son by yourself."
Mi Niang admitted that she was not a good mother, but she needed to spend more time reading and doing her own things. If she spent all her time on her son, how could she draw such beautiful paintings and speak eloquently in her daily life? These things require accumulation.
This is Mi Niang, she will not give in to anyone and completely change herself.
Fortunately, Fang Weiyan heard what she said and said, "I'll wait until he falls asleep and then send him back."
"That's good to know. I took him back to my parents' house that day and took care of him by myself. You don't know how strong he is. He almost broke my legs."
The jealous boy watched his parents talking. Although he was very young, he was still a little smart. He hugged Mi Niang and kissed her, making her face sticky with saliva. Mi Niang couldn't help laughing.
"You little rascal, your own mother is useless. I want to read more books today. Let the wet nurse bring you here tomorrow morning. I will accompany you to visit the garden, okay?"
Finally, Xian'er wanted to take a bath, so Fang Weiyan asked the wet nurse to take the child back home.
Fang Weiyan thought that this was the reason why Mi Niang was so good at everything, because she was very self-controlled. Once she planned something, she would not change it. She planned what kind of paintings to paint, what books to read, and what characters to teach the children in a month. She would execute everything according to the plan meticulously and rarely changed her mind overnight.
In the evening, the couple each read a book. Mi Niang read very hard. She would first read through the book and then read it carefully. If there was something that she remembered clearly or did not understand, she would directly ask Fang Wei Yan for advice.
"Look at the meaning of this sentence. Is it what I wrote?" She showed it to Fang Weiyan.
Fang Weiyan shook his head. He had gained a lot from reading history books recently, so he cited extensively and spoke eloquently. Mi Niang also listened very carefully.
It was not until midnight that Mi Niang knew that he had to go to the yamen the next day, and then she said that she wanted to rest. Because she had gained a lot, she was still a little sleepless at night.
Fang Weiyan became interested, especially when his hand reached her slender waist. He was surprised: "How come your waist is so much thinner?"
"You've been dancing a lot lately, so your waist has become thinner." Mi Niang blew into his ear.
The couple spent the night in love. When Mi Niang woke up the next day, she felt her waist was about to break. She pinched Fang Weiyan and said, "I never thought that someone like you could be so fierce. I almost couldn't get up."
Fang Weiyan kissed her forehead with satisfaction: "Then don't get up so early."
Having said that, Mi Niang couldn't fall asleep after waking up, so she got up early and lay on the beauty couch for a while. Then she heard that Fang Yaqing was about to give birth, so she had no choice but to accompany Xu again.
Along the way, Xu was very nervous, and Mi Niang comforted her: "Don't worry, I heard that Yaqing looks very good."
"That being said, giving birth is like the gate of hell." Xu couldn't help but say to Mi Niang, "She can't control her mouth at all. You know you should eat less when you were jealous of your brother. She lives alone and I can't control her. I'm afraid she doesn't understand these things."
Her daughter is not around and she is busy too, so she cannot look after her all the time.
I’m afraid the baby in my belly is too big and it will be difficult to give birth when the time comes.
In order to ensure a smooth delivery, Xu's sister-in-law, Aunt Xu, specially hired a doctor to take care of her at all times. However, despite this, she was injured when she gave birth to Weijun.
When they arrived, Fang Yaqing had already started having contractions. She felt relieved only after seeing her mother and sister-in-law.
Because she didn't sleep well last night, Mi Niang was forcing herself to stay awake. Xu was very worried, but she would go up to ask from time to time. Mi Niang asked Wen Po: "Should we let her eat something?"
Grandma Wen shook her head: "Mrs. Su said there's no need to bother."
Well, Fang Yaqing is a person who is afraid of trouble.
There were too many rules and regulations in the Marquis' Mansion before, but now that she is in charge of her own house, and Su Zi comes from a poor family, she wants to keep things as simple as possible and is afraid of trouble.
Fortunately, Fang Yaqing calmed down after a while. She saw Mi Niang sitting beside the bed and comforting her. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm fine."
Fang Yaqing's child was born much faster than expected. Mi Niang originally thought that she would not be able to go home at night, but unexpectedly the child was born in the afternoon, and it was a daughter.
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything. After all, it was her own daughter who gave birth to the child, so she would definitely not blame her.
Su Ziqing came back in the evening. He was very happy to hear that a daughter was born. Then Fang Weiyan came over. Su Ziqing immediately thanked Xu and Mi Niang.
"Thanks to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ziqing would like to thank them here."
Both Xu and Mi Niang were humble.
Su Ziqing is now working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He is ambitious and talented. Although he is not promoted as fast as Fang Weiyan, he is better than many people. He also has the halo of being the top scholar, which makes him the goal that many people look up to.
Xu wanted to stay and look after her daughter today, so she sent Mi Niang back first, since she still had a grandson to look after at home.
It is also said that after Mi Niang and her husband left, Fang Yaqing woke up once. She looked at her little wrinkled daughter with all her motherly love, and she had been thinking about her future coming of age since she was a child.
So, she said to Xu: "My sister-in-law and I have always been good friends, and my sister-in-law has been good to me too. I'm afraid that my brother will be the same as my brother in the future. Mother, do you want to marry me? With you and my sister-in-law around, my daughter will definitely not suffer."
It was all thanks to her brother and sister-in-law that she was able to find Su Ziqing, but most women's marriages are unhappy, just like the man my cousin He Dizhu married was said to be very unsatisfactory, and she doesn't know how she will live in the future.
As a woman, she understood women's situations best, so she wanted to find a proper family for her daughter.
Besides, her family was not considered to be marrying up to high status. Su Ziqing was the top scholar in the imperial examination, and she was the daughter of a noble family. They were a perfect match.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Since you said so, then of course it's good. Although Xian'er is young, he looks smarter than others. He calls me grandma from a distance, and my heart melts."
Fang Yaqing couldn't help but think that her idea was great.
Mi Niang fell asleep as soon as she got home. Every day she was either worried about this or that. It was really annoying. Yesterday she was tortured by Fang Wei Yan. Although she felt good, she felt uncomfortable physically.
Fang Weiyan was always considerate. After he saw that she fell asleep, he stayed in the room and did not allow anyone to come in and disturb her.
But it was mentioned several times that Fang Yaqing's daughter's third-day bath had just passed, and Mi Niang, as her aunt, sent a lot of gold necklaces and other things over. She thought she could rest for a while, but she never expected that the Jinxiang Marquis' Mansion would hold a flower banquet.
Such things rarely happened in the Jinxiang Marquis's mansion before, because the Crown Prince Han Qi had never been married. The Jinxiang Marquis's wife felt that it was not easy for a middle-aged woman to handle these things. It happened that the Lord of Deyin County came in, and she suggested to do it, and the Jinxiang Marquis's wife was naturally willing.
After the post was downloaded, Mi Niang yawned and said, "I'll just go to work and come back. I've been so exhausted these days, but I can't rest every day."
Because it was a flower banquet and they heard that they had to compose poems, Yu was the first one to say she couldn't go. Xiangjun said that because his son was sick, only Mi Niang went alone.
She originally thought it was just an ordinary banquet, but she didn't expect it to be a grand banquet for herself.
When she went to the banquet that day, she wore a goose yellow buttoned stand-up collar middle coat, an apricot yellow jacket, and a narcissus hairpin carved from Hetian jade on her head. She looked simple and refreshing.
Xu thought the outfit was too plain, so she asked someone to give her a pair of red gold bead bracelets.
Mi Niang was shocked: "Madam, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
"Just take it. I have nothing to give you all year round. You also bled at Yaqing's place a few days ago. You have only been married for a short time. What good things can you give me? Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. You must know the principle of respecting the clothes first and the person later."
In fact, Yu's usual dress was similar to hers. Even the daughter-in-law of a marquis's mansion did not dress up in gorgeous clothes. Mi Niang was mainly afraid of hair loss, so she seldom wore her hair in a high bun. She dressed mainly for comfort at home and only dressed up carefully when she went out.
But such a flower show requires a grand appearance by an unmarried woman. She does not need to outshine the others, so naturally she does not want this.
However, since it was given by her mother-in-law, she still accepted it.
There was no need for her to deliberately make a fuss about such an insignificant matter.
Naturally, she could not enjoy Fang Weiyan's visit to her, as he still wanted to go to the Lu family at this time. Mi Niang knew that he did it for his future, so she did not blame him.
After getting on the carriage, Zi Su couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Grandma go? Let you go alone."
Mi Niang said, "She didn't go because she heard that she had to write poetry. But I don't think she would write poetry. She comes from a family of military commanders. She knows a few words, but she's probably not very proficient in them."
This is still a conservative statement. When the eldest grandmother was in charge of the courtyard, she also assigned a servant to run errands. He could recognize a few words, but he was only proficient in literature and it is said that he could read unlearned words.
Of course, Zisu also knew that no other grandmother was as studious as her own. Most of the other people's time was either spent sleeping, visiting friends, or copying Buddhist scriptures, but her own grandmother never put down her books and painted a picture every day without interruption.
The key is that she is also good at taking care of children, and she never spoils children. She has also taught her jealous son very well.
Fourth Grandma often said that you should use your brain to do things.
You need to use your brain when taking care of children, and you also need to use your brain when reading in your daily life.
This was the first time that Mi Niang saw the Lord of Deyin County after her marriage. Her hair had been tied up in a high bun, and her clothes were gorgeous and exquisite. The tassel-lined phoenix tail made her look even more gorgeous and imposing.
Mi Niang stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the Lord of Deyin County."
Little did she know that the Lord of Deyin County was also looking at her. She was wearing an apricot-yellow jacket with a pearly white pleated skirt. It was simple and elegant, but it showed her good complexion and beauty. Appearance is secondary. When looking at a person, one should look at her figure first. She was very charming and graceful, especially her slender waist. Her voice was like a famous oriole.
But she just smiled slightly and was not the kind of person who was easy to get along with.
"There's no need to be so polite, Madam Fang. I hope you enjoy the banquet today." said the Lord of Deyin County.
Mi Niang nodded.
He was just about to look for his familiar cousin Tang and Nanping Earl's wife Ruan Siniang, but he never expected that at this moment a maid accidentally bumped into Deyin County Lord while holding tea.
She said lightly, "Such a lazy girl disturbed the guests and was taken away to be beaten with a stick."
The servant dragged him away swiftly.
Mi Niang raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. It had only been a few days since she entered the house, but she had already started executing the servants. It seemed that the Jinxiang Marquisate had really been looking forward to this daughter-in-law for a long time.
Little did she know that the Lord of Deyin County was doing this just for her to see.
However, this move of hers made the other ladies feel uneasy and think that she was someone not to be trifled with. But for Yu Mi Niang, it was nothing compared to her.
What's the point of torturing servants? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys will only have the effect on other servants and will not cause any harm to her.
Mi Niang had never taken a serious look around the Jinxiang Marquis' Mansion before, and there were indeed all kinds of flowers there. She stood in front of the peonies for a long time, and sniffed the fragrance of the orchids. The most beautiful thing was the cherry tree in the mansion. The cherry tree was full of pink flowers, just like peach blossoms. One of the flowers fell on her dress, and Mi Niang picked it up to admire it carefully.
"Mi Niang, what are you looking at?" Tang came over with a smile, holding a round fan.
She was the wife of the Crown Prince of Hanhai Mansion, so naturally she was extraordinary. However, as soon as she came out, she saw Mi Niang.
"I'm looking at the cherry blossoms. They are really in full bloom."
"They said they wanted to write poems. You know I hate writing poems, so I volunteered to come and call you. You should go quickly. Everyone knows that you have become a big star in front of the Queen Mother, and they are waiting to see if you live up to the reputation. I heard that the Lord of Deyin County has also invited Mrs. Zeng to come."
Tang came out to inform on others, Ruan Siniang believed in keeping out of the matter and said it was none of her business, but Tang came out specially because she had a good relationship with Mi Niang.
If there were people who cheated in the poetry competitions that Mi Niang participated in when she was young, then this time we invited very serious people. This Mrs. Zeng founded a poetry club at the age of thirteen. She is very famous and has real talent and knowledge.
Mi Niang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I do a good job or not, as long as the Queen Mother approves of me, that's all that matters."
But she was still very grateful to Tang for telling her, and Tang went out with a smile. She could not recognize a few words and was most afraid of this kind of scene.
It is also said that when Mi Niang went in, the head of Deyin County said with a smile, "Fang Si Madam, please come here quickly. Many of them admire your talent and are wondering why you didn't come."
Several girls who hadn't tied their hair into a bun came forward and said, "The Queen Mother has praised you. You will definitely win this time."
"Yes, yes, you are definitely the leader."
This kind of stirring up trouble was unusual at first glance. The mother of the Lord of Deyin County was the eldest princess, who was rewarded by the empress dowager. How could she be jealous and hold a banquet at Hongmen just because the empress dowager praised her a few times?
As the saying goes, anything abnormal is a demon.
But Mi Niang is not someone who can be manipulated by others. She smiled and said, "My participation in the poetry meeting was still a new thing. If you ask me to do it now, I'm afraid I will be forgotten by everyone. Today is the flower show hosted by Deyin County. I think it's better to let the county lord take the lead. I just saw that the cherry blossoms in Jinxiang Houfu are the most gorgeous. How about using cherry blossoms as the theme?"
Generally speaking, the organizers are not very talented and have memorized several poems long ago.
A person like the Lord of Deyin County is naturally well-educated and literate, but Mi Niang only observed her as a person and punished her servants from the beginning to show her authority, which shows that she is not a smart person.
Anyone who is good at writing poetry has extremely high comprehension, like Fang Weiyan and Ye Jiayin, including herself, that is, they are not very worldly people. However, this county lord uses his power to bully others and shows disdain everywhere. Such people are more concerned with fame, wealth and status than writing poetry.
Since the Lord of Deyin County was stirring up trouble to embarrass Mi Niang, she was of course prepared. But when she saw Mi Niang posing a difficult question in public, she couldn't help but think that she reacted too quickly and that he underestimated her.
However, she dared to hold this poetry meeting, so she must have made sufficient preparations. As she said this, she winked at the girl not far away. She had already hired gunmen.
But he said calmly, "Let me think about it before I write."
Mi Niang said, "Since we are writing poetry, why waste paper? The ancients said that reciting poetry is the key to composing poetry. Why don't I start by reciting it directly?"
The head of Deyin County immediately panicked. Why didn't she observe martial ethics? She was caught off guard by Mi Niang.
Listen to Mi Niang's recitation: "Since there is no limit on rhyme, I'll go first. The beauty with pink cheeks blushes like the moon, and her talent is comparable to Yi Anjiao. The spring breeze in February blows the cherry blossoms early, and the shadows under the branches are full of charm."
Mrs. Zeng immediately said, "Good, this poem is very good."
Mrs. Zeng agreed, and people around her didn't dare to say anything.
Mi Niang didn't give County Lady Deyin a chance to cheat, and immediately urged her: "County Lady, please come quickly. I have heard that you are very talented and a famous talented woman in Beijing. I don't think my idea is good enough. Please recite a poem for us."
The mayor of Deyin County was stunned.
Mi Niang smiled slightly. She suffered for not having an education in her previous life. In this life, she even forgot about her husband and son for the sake of studying. How could she be stumped now?
Seeing that the county lord Deyin was thinking hard, she couldn't help but kindly said to everyone: "Let's let the county lord think for a while. I wonder if there is any paint. Seeing such a beautiful scene today, I regret that I am not good at speaking and can't tell my husband and son. Why not paint a picture and bring it back for them to appreciate."
There is no shortage of pigments in the entire Jinxiang Marquis Mansion. For someone like Mi Niang who paints every day like eating, it is even easier.
When Mi Niang was halfway through painting, the mayor of Deyin County said that her poem was finished. Given her status, there were naturally many people who came to support her. Mi Niang did not care about being isolated or anything. She really wanted to paint the cherry blossom tree and bring it back to show her son and husband. As for other people, they were not within her consideration at all.
It would be better if they ignored her.
Ruan Siniang couldn't help but secretly envy her. In fact, she was the daughter of a Duke's mansion, and her status was much higher than Mi Niang. She also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she didn't work hard on these, nor did she want to show timidity in front of others. After getting married, such occasions became even less common.
And she also cares more about the secular gaze. If it were her, it would be impossible for her to paint there without paying attention to others.
After she finished the painting, Madam Zeng was judging the poetry at the meeting. As the head of Deyin County, she naturally could not let others lead her by the nose. She wanted to use peony as the theme, and everyone was writing poems about peony. But at this time, the head of Deyin County did not call Mi Niang, and Mi Niang did not care. She just found a table and started to drink tea and have snacks, feeling very comfortable.
Soon two more girls came over. They saw the easel next to Mi Niang and pushed each other. Finally, a girl in green clothes stepped forward and said, "Grandma Fang Si, can I see the cherry blossoms you painted? I love cherry blossoms the most."
Mi Niang readily agreed: "Why not? Please give me your advice."
The two girls waved their hands and said, "We dare not teach you."
They really liked the cherry blossom pollen prepared by Mi Niang. It was very girlish and different from traditional fine brushwork. It was unique, but very beautiful. The two of them were quite talented, and Mi Niang was very polite to them.
After a while, she finished the plate of snacks and felt a little annoyed.
But many people came to see her paintings. Lord Deyin was secretly angry because this person was really difficult to deal with. She took the initiative to attract people and then used her paintings to attract people. Many people secretly said that she was worthy of being Miss Ruan.
Miss Ruan is the earthly incarnation of the Snow Lotus Fairy in "Jade Toad Records". She is very popular. Today everyone says that seeing is believing.
This made her lose both her wife and her troops. In order to hold a flower banquet today, she collected a lot of flowers from all over the place. The Yao Huang and Wei Zi flowers even cost one hundred taels per pot. These were quite a lot for her.
But it made Mi Niang even more famous than before, how could she not be angry.
Until the time he was about to leave, Lord Deyin's affection was indifferent.
Mi Niang thought to herself, so what if she was a royal relative? After all, it was no match for using one's talent and virtue to win people over by using one's power.
Although she didn't know why the Deyin County Lord was targeting her, she was not someone who could be bullied by just any nobody. She remembered that in his previous life, the county lord was very obedient in front of her, sending her generous gifts every year and being able to talk and laugh. But now he was a person who would judge people by their appearance.
After leaving the gate of Jinxiang Marquis' Mansion, Mi Niang took the painting back, her mood not affected at all.
Instead, the Lord of Deyin County was in a bad mood. Just at this moment, a maid came in. She was also wearing a yellow jacket, a few velvet flowers on her head, and a thin waist.
She immediately got angry and pointed at the maid and said, "Look at your seductive look. Who are you trying to seduce? Your waist is so thin and your hair is so loose. You look no different from the prostitutes in Qinlou and Chuguan."
The maid was frightened half to death and knelt down immediately.
"Go back and you are not allowed to eat tomorrow." The nanny waved to the maid, signaling her to hurry down and not to anger the Lord of Deyin County.
After everyone left, the nanny said, "County Master, why do you care about Ruan? She is already a married woman. She can't affect you no matter what. I think your aunt is a sensible person. How could she possibly get involved with her? What a future you have."
"I just hate that he made me angry and embarrassed on our wedding night."
Thinking back to the day when Han Qi vomited blood, when she passed away, only two or three kittens were left. Han Qi was still absent-minded, and even talked in his sleep after having sex with her at night. He kept calling Miss Ruan, saying something like I'm sorry to my Miss Ruan, and that his Miss Ruan didn't wait for her after all.
The Lady of Duc Nghiem originally had no opinion of Nguyen. She had only heard that the Queen wanted to marry a maid to Han Qi, and she thought Han Qi was unlucky and was forced to marry a person of low status. As for whether Han Qi and the maid had feelings for each other, she thought not. After all, they were not a good match. Unless the late Queen was mentally ill, how could she arrange such a marriage? Moreover, after the Queen passed away, Han Qi's family did not write a letter to ask to marry the maid.
Moreover, Lady De did not think that she could compare with the palace maids, but Ruan's reputation was far-reaching, so she felt it was very likely. Therefore, she could not help but ask someone to check the so-called Miss Ruan to see if the two of them had any intersection.
However, after searching for a long time, nothing was found. One day, after Ruan entered the palace and received a reward from the Queen Mother, Han Qi said for the first time: "She is worthy of being a girl from Huguang. She is not afraid of anything."
Only then did the flaws appear.
Women have intuition. If Ruan was a very bad woman, she probably wouldn't even doubt it. But she once heard the wife of Xinling Hou muttering that her illegitimate son Gu Wangshu was very fond of Ruan.
Although the wife of Marquis Jinxiang said that the wife of Marquis Xinling deliberately fabricated the story because her own son was a playboy and she hated her illegitimate son for being so successful, and she also hated the Dong'an Marquis's Mansion for ruining her good fortune.
But for the mayor of Deyin County, there is always smoke without fire.
Just like her father is still the prince consort, her mother is still the eldest princess, but so what, the family
