After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother
Chapter 296: Greetings are a kind of courtesy
"Of course my aunt knows that they are the bad guys, but outsiders may not know that! Alas, this is how the world is. Many people don't like girls who are too strong."
"If they don't like me, then that must be their problem. What does it have to do with me? If I do things according to the ideas of those who don't like me, will they like me? Even if they like me, what's the problem?"
Mrs. Qiao was speechless after being rebuked by her niece who suddenly became clever. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this logic!
So is her niece, who has always been silly, really silly? Or is this the legendary great wisdom that appears foolish?
"Auntie?"
"Huh? Oh."
Qiao, who had come to her senses, still smiled gently and lovingly. It seemed that what her husband said was right. This child just had no one to teach her well before. Now, isn't she becoming more and more clever?
"What you said makes sense, but there are many ignorant people in the world, and few who are truly as smart as you.
In order to avoid being under the tongue of others and to give our ears a few more moments of peace, we just pretend to be nice on the surface. "
"so?"
"So if you run into the Gu family in the palace later, can you just hold back your magical powers for the time being? Let's not bother with them and never deal with them in the palace, okay, Seventh Girl?"
The tone of her aunt was too anxious. Although Chu Chi could not quite understand what made her anxious, she had already said it before, so she listened to the advice.
So I nodded decisively.
"Row!"
Seeing that she had finally persuaded him, Mrs. Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She complained to her useless husband for the 1238th time. Why did he talk nonsense in front of the emperor? Didn't he have any idea of what his own child was like?
She didn't come into the palace with the child; she came to be punished with the child!
Ugh.
No matter how much they complained in their hearts, the carriages always delivered people to the palace gates on time.
The carriage came down from the carriage door, and several wives of the Chu family, along with their young wives and nieces, waited in a proper manner. When the time came, they went to the palace with all the officials and their wives to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
It was still early, and we couldn't just stand there leaning against the wall, could we? Besides, most people in the world liked to gather in groups of two or three to chat and kill time.
So in some familiar families, the elders gathered together, and the younger generations gathered together, and even though they didn't dare to speak loudly, they were all laughing and talking.
Old Chu was the Minister of Justice, a second-rank official, and the Chu family was not a small family with no status or position. It was conceivable that the position occupied by their family members would not be too far behind.
As a member of the civil service system, the people standing next to each other must be from similar backgrounds. For example, the women of the Liu family ranked behind their own family.
The sharp-eyed Qin immediately turned her head to look at her noisy niece. Fortunately, the seventh girl was listening to other people's conversation with her ears perked up.
She quickly reached out and tugged at her second sister-in-law's clothes.
Bai was chatting very happily with the daughter-in-law of the Grand Secretary's mansion, but when her brother-in-law reminded her, she also saw the people she didn't want to see.
With a smile on his face, he moved forward a few steps, raised his handkerchief to cover the corner of his lips, and called out softly.
"Sister-in-law, look back."
Qiao was also trying to make small talk with Mrs. Zeng, the wife of Mr. Wang, using the down-to-earth topic of worrying about their children at home as a starting point. But before they could even say a few words, her sister-in-law reminded her that something was going to happen.
I turned my head and sighed in my heart.
Very good, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet.
Of course, this sentence unilaterally refers to the mistress of the Liu family, Miao, who was kicked into the pond by Chu Chi.
Although this matter was not deliberately publicized, after being in the same circle for so many years, how could Miao not know the methods of these wives of the rich and powerful families? Just by looking at their mocking eyes, she knew that her family's little things must have been spread behind the scenes!
So in the past month or so, she has been using illness as an excuse not to attend any banquets, hoping that the limelight will fade quickly so that she can lose less face.
If today wasn't the Queen Mother's birthday, Miao wasn't like those old feudal lords who could rely on their seniority to refuse. She really didn't want to enter the palace and embarrass herself!
"Miao sister, you are here too?"
After apologizing to Zeng and receiving the other party's understanding applause, Qiao turned around, put on his most enthusiastic smile, and took two steps back.
"You live a little far from here, but you're still able to come so early. You must have been preparing early. Sister Miao, please come to the shade over here and take a rest for a while. Don't get too hot!"
No matter where the heat of spring comes from, greetings? It's just a pretext for opening remarks.
After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for the two wives to quarrel with each other in public.
After all, one should not hit a smiling person. Since the wife of the Minister of Justice has already given way, the wife of the Minister of Works cannot just hold on and refuse to back down.
Even though Miao was extremely angry in her heart, she still had to show on her face that there was no grudge between the two families and that everything was peaceful and harmonious, and she smiled and responded to the other party's courtesy.
"Sister Qiao, what you said is really funny. The Queen Mother's birthday is in spring, a beautiful season! There is a gentle breeze everywhere, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. How can there be any heat?"
I'm not willing to give up, so I'm going to dig a hole even with a smile.
Fortunately, Qiao was also an expert. He turned around to look at Zeng, with whom he had just had a pleasant conversation, and retorted with a smile on his face.
"Look, Madam Wang, Madam Liu is a person who is always nitpicking.
Was I just worried that she would feel uncomfortable because I was plump and felt a little hot after standing in the sun for a while?
After all, she is used to being pampered and served by so many concubines at home. I am just worried that she is frail and might run out of energy and faint from the heat in the palace.
On such a wonderful day, we must not cause trouble for the Empress Dowager!
I really had good intentions, but I was misunderstood. Oh, I can't explain myself clearly, where can I find someone to judge for me?"
The wife of Grand Secretary Wang smiled and glanced at the Chu family's shrewd and thoughtful wife. That's enough. We are all thousand-year-old foxes. Why are you being so naughty in front of me?
This Qiao and that Minister Chu both use the same method when insulting others, which is to be polite and courteous while slowly poking at people's feelings.
Wow, they really are a couple.
