The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

"Girls, please follow me." After exchanging greetings, Mrs. Tong took Duanmin and Zhuang Jing to the main hall where the wives were. flower hall.

Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang's daughters are already married, and the girls of the next generation are only two years old, so they are not suitable for entertaining Shiliu and others. They can only be handed over to Tong's parents-in-law to entertain.

Walking to the flower hall, many aristocratic ladies have already come inside, Tong's parents and daughter-in-law waved, and a little girl in pink came over.She pointed to the two pomegranates and said, "This is Anjun. Anjun, these two are Gege from the Shi family in the Earl's Mansion. Please treat them well." Tong's parents-in-law is an interesting person, and she also understands what she said to a group of little girls I didn't go anywhere, so I handed him over to a girl near Tong's family and planned to go out.

"Two Gegean, my name is Tong Anyun, and my father is Tong Guoqi, a cabinet minister." The cabinet minister is a fourth-rank Beijing official. Tong Guoqi's grandfather, Tong Yangcui, is Tong Yangzhen's younger brother. Tong Guowei and Tong Guoqi are relatively close. cousins.

The Tong family didn't have any girls of the right age, so it made sense to ask Tong Anyun, who was close by, to help entertain the guests.To be honest, Tong Guoqi didn't have much outstanding talent. The reason why he was able to become a Beijing official from the fourth rank was largely due to his surname Tong and his relationship with the Tong family.

Shiliu and Erzhen looked at each other, "Hi Miss Tong."

Although her surname is Tong, she is not from Tong Tulai's branch after all, and her temperament is not considered ostentatious.After the three greeted each other, she invited the two of them to sit down inside, because they were not in the same circle, and she didn't bother too much.

Both of them are satisfied with her knowledge.

Erzhen leaned close to Shiliu's ear and said softly: "This Miss Tong has been living in the Duke's Mansion for the past two years, and she always entertains the Tong family's banquet. You can see her well-behaved figure, and her every move looks graceful , it doesn't look like the demeanor that a regular wife should have. And the way she looked at you just now, you have to be careful. "

Aristocratic ladies are all trained as regular wives, what they need is dignified and virtuous, and such seductive gestures are the skills that concubines need.

And just now, Tong Anyun's face was gentle, but there was a hint of scrutiny, jealousy and flattery in his eyes.Pomegranate has been in Hangzhou for the past two years, and the two of them have never met before. It is understandable for her to look at it. After all, Pomegranate is one of the candidates for the crown princess, so what is jealousy?

Shiliu is not stupid, she understood what my aunt meant in a blink of an eye, but she didn't care. "Sister-in-law, what do you think she looks like compared to me?"

"You're asking this, are you comparable?" Even though Tong Anyun is two years older than Pomegranate, Pomegranate is still better in appearance.

Putting down the teacup, Shiliu glanced at Tong Anyun, only to see that she was walking among the noble girls, seemingly with ease, but in fact she was not.

Tong Anyun is not from this branch. Girls from third-rank and fourth-rank families may give her face, while first-rank officials and those girls with titles are very arrogant.Even if those people don't say anything embarrassing on the surface, as long as she ignores you, isn't it yourself who is embarrassed?

As they were talking, they saw a few more noble ladies coming outside, among them was the Hesheli Daoqin they knew, and the other girls, Pomegranate, didn't have much impression.

Erzhen pointed to one of the girls in light blue clothes and said, "That is Wuya Mayanzhu, Wupin's own sister. It is said that she looks five points like Wupin."

Shiliu hadn't seen Wupin before returning to Beijing, so she took a closer look at Mayan Zhu, compared with the Wupin in her impression, the two were indeed similar in appearance.If you want to say the difference, it is probably because Wu Bin feels very gentle, a gentle woman, while this Mayanzhu girl is arrogant, and she is not easy to get along with at first glance.

Not to mention anything else, among the girls present, Gege is the only one who is Baoyiqi, but when she came in from the outside, her chin was raised high, and she looked like she was born noble.Mighty is nothing more than a fifth-rank official. Just now, a housekeeper who is a fifth-rank family greeted her, and she is still so superior when talking to others.

Shiliu doesn't understand, although that girl is also a fifth-rank girl, but she has a common surname in Manchuria, and she is a noble girl from the Eight Banners. You are just from a wrapping background. Could it be possible that you can ignore her like this because there is a black concubine in your family?Besides, this Mayanzhu is not outstanding in appearance compared to Wupin.

When Daoqin saw Erzhen, she trotted over, seeing them looking at Mayanzhu, a little gloating. "I didn't expect people from Wu Ya's family to actually come. There's something exciting to watch now." She saw it just now, and her cousin winked at Tong Anyun.

"Wu Concubine was just punished, shouldn't their family be keeping a low profile?" Knowing that this is a grand banquet, but still coming, is there really nothing wrong with her brain?

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that Wubi is pregnant again."

The sixth elder brother was crying on the first night when he was taken away. Wu Bin was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, so she passed out.The imperial physician found out that she was pregnant for more than two months.

Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with Wupin, he would not care too much for the sake of the child, not to mention that Wupin was also punished and lost her position.

The other sixth elder brother has been suffering with An Pin, and later developed a high fever for some reason.In a fit of rage, the emperor took Sixth Brother back again.

Pomegranate is speechless, it's only been a few days, but Wu Bin has turned around unexpectedly.

She hasn't entered the palace these few days, and has been busy contacting her former friends, so she really doesn't know what happened in the palace.

The emperor contradicted what he said, and I don't know how the prince feels?

While they were talking about Wu Ya's family, Tong Anyun started to get angry.In fact, Tong Anyun didn't want to have a bad relationship with Mayan Zhu, but this was a task given to her by the Duke's Mansion. If she couldn't complete it, the Duke's Mansion would definitely have a problem with her in the future.

In the past two years in the Duke's Mansion, she clearly felt the benefits of power.In the past, those noble ladies above the third rank would treat her as if they couldn't see her. Although these people still don't pay much attention to her, at least they won't completely ignore her.

Why?It's because she now has the support of the Duke's Mansion behind her.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Anyun looked at Mayan Zhu with an apologetic face, "I'm so sorry Miss Wu Ya, this is the only seat left, if you don't mind, you can sit here." She pointed to a seat in the corner and said .

Those sitting around that seat were all girls from junior and eighth grade officials' families. These girls were not qualified to visit Tong's family. This time, in order to humiliate Wu Ya's family, Tong's family specially sent a post to someone.But the seat Tong Anyun pointed to was still at the very end.

"Tong Anyun, what do you mean? There are still vacant seats over there." The direction Mayanzhu pointed coincidentally was near the three of Shiliu.

There are indeed two vacant seats on their side, but the one sitting on their side is either the daughter of a senior official above the third rank, or Ge Ge with a high rank.As soon as she said this, many people frowned.

I saw Tong Anyun calmly, "Miss Wu Ya, the banquets held by our noble ladies are different from yours, and most of them come according to rank and status. The girls sitting there are the girls who are at least third rank, Those Ge Ge who are still clan members, it is a bit inappropriate for you to sit there."

Daoqin almost dropped her jaw in shock when she saw Tong Anyun, she stammered: "I used to think that Tong Anyun was a very gentle and amiable little girl, just now I was worried that she would be bullied by Mayanzhu. I didn't expect her to mock people , Simply, simply" Daoqin didn't know how to express it for a moment.

Shi Liu took the opportunity to say: "This is called knowing the face but not the heart."

Seeing Daoqin looking at her, thinking about the scene she saw before, she finally couldn't help but say something more: "My mother always said, whether it's making friends or doing anything, you must try it out again and again. Probe, wait until you are sure that this person is really feasible, and then make a decision."

It's hard to say that Longkodo has a problem, she can only remind vaguely like this.There is still half a year before the draft, and I just hope that the Hesheli family will check Chalongkodo more. She believes that a person's temperament will not change at will, and maybe Longkodo is a romantic now.

If the Hesheli family really valued Daoqin, maybe this marriage would be a failure.
