The beauty of the lady

Chapter 185: The Frightened Bird (3)
"How could it be?" Mrs. Zhou's insincere words can be seen through her rolled eyes.

Mrs. Qu didn't take it seriously, she looked at Mr. Zhou, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you think so too? Do you think this rule is useless at all?"

Mr. Zhou didn't expect that the topic would be brought to him. He opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

"I don't care how you became the king of the mountain on the one-acre-three-point land in Zhoujiazhuang, but since you are determined to follow Meier to the capital, you must put away your so-called arrogance. After all, you are just white bodies, and Meier His identity is not simple, the current Zhou Mansion in the capital was formerly the Prince’s Mansion, do you know what a Prince is?”

"What is a prince?" Mrs. Zhou is just a village woman who doesn't understand anything. All her life, the emperor is a distant existence in her eyes. Compared with the emperor, they are more afraid of the county magistrate.

"Since ancient times, there have been two kinds of princes. One is that the emperor's elder brothers and sons can be named princes, while the prince depends on his status in the emperor's heart. Zhou's predecessor was a prince with a foreign surname, and the owner of the house was renamed Nangong. The opposite-sex brothers of the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, who fought against the world, were later condemned by the nine clans because of their intention to rebel. At that time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Nangong family was Princess Huijue of the Great Yan Dynasty. Even her two biological sons were beheaded by the emperor. Nangong Mansion is considered one of the best mansions in the Great Yan Dynasty. Ever since the clan was exterminated, the house deed has been in the hands of the House of Internal Affairs until Meier bought it. Do you know what this means?"

Although the old lady Qu said she was asking, she didn't expect them to answer.

"Nowadays, the third wife of the Zhou family is no longer as simple as your son and daughter-in-law. Meier is not just your granddaughter, she is also the granddaughter of the Chengbeihou Mansion, and her grandmother is the only prostitute of the first-class An Guogong Mansion in the capital. Knowing that there was a queen in Anguogong's mansion, Mei'er's grandmother even rejected the queen's position and married into Chengbeihou's mansion. She is also a direct disciple of Daoist Changchun. The heirs of the two noble families of Zhongzhong also have brother-sister friendship. Hearing this, do you still have the ability to show off in front of Sanfang? Even if you want to show off, you must at least have a reason. handle them."

"There are no rules, and now your identities are not just family members. In the future, can you not attend Meier's big wedding? Can you not attend Jijili? But you think that when the time comes, in the capital where the rich and powerful gather, you will behave like this." Behavior, what they lose is only their face? Everyone in the world wants to occupy a place in the capital, but the capital is so expensive that they can go there if they want. It is life, and it will even implicate the entire family."

"If you don't work hard, how can you enjoy life?"

The two of them heard Mrs. Qu's statement of interests from various aspects, and suddenly felt that this trip to the capital was wrong?
But the old lady Zhou looked down at the dazzling brocade on her body, and made up her mind that she must not go back so easily.

"You guys should rest for the next few days. When you return to the capital in a few days, I will teach my sister-in-law how to behave, and Master Zhou will naturally be followed."

After finishing speaking, the old lady Qu stood up, nodded and smiled, raised her hand to support Madam Du's hand, turned and left.

After living in Yuzhou Mansion for two days, Zhou Mei did not appear in front of the two of them, but people watched them in secret. After reading the accounts here, Mrs. Qu also packed her luggage, and the two carriages He went in the direction of the capital.

In Zhou Mansion, Mrs. Zhao has cleaned up a Kang'an hall for her parents-in-law. There are all kinds of exquisite but grand decorations, bamboo curtains in Xiang color, bed curtains in the same color and light blue brocade bedding, all of which are very luxurious and exquisite. .

She actually didn't want to live with her in-laws, but her aunt had already asked, so she could only tell the truth.

Although my aunt was very angry when she heard what the parents-in-law did, but as a son or daughter-in-law, she couldn't really ignore it. No matter how big the hatred was, family members were family members after all, and it couldn't be thrown away without constant talking.

People cannot choose their parents, but they can choose whether to change themselves or try to change others.

Then after a long conversation between the two, the old lady came up with this method, learning the rules.

Maybe this is really a good way, Zhao shi thought of this, and the corners of her lips curled up happily.

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's appearance, Mother Qiu covered her lips with a light smile and said, "Madam, did you think of something good? A few days ago, Madam was in a bad mood, but now she finally recovers."

"Yeah, a few days ago I was a little worried, but now it's better, and Yingniang is worried."

"The madam also knows that the slaves are worried, or is it that the old man and the old madam are really that difficult to get along with?"

"Not really, it's just that we didn't get along well with me. At the beginning, Tang'er almost didn't keep her. Later, she gave birth with all her might, but I suffered from hemorrhage. Although I slowly took care of myself later, if it wasn't for Mr. Changchunzi, I would It is impossible to get better so quickly, and now that they are coming, I am still a little scared in my heart."

Nanny Qiu was also a nanny released from the palace. Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, she smiled and said, "Madam, don't think that way. Although our Zhou Mansion is a merchant on the surface, no one in the whole capital knows that Zhou Manor can do it easily. For provocation, although the food and drink of the big family are exquisite, but the rules are the most cumbersome, and it is not an easy thing to be an old man and old lady in this kind of family."

"That's right."

"What's more, we are the third room, and the eldest son has always been the elderly care provider. This time, it's just for the young lady's ceremony and wedding. We need to let the two of you learn the rules in advance, but the rules are not so easy to learn. I don't have to experience it personally. , It’s just that I heard that they can’t be counted, even those daughters who have grown up since they were young, have to practice hard for several months to enter the palace, and besides, the young lady will not let the madam suffer at all.”

Only then did Mrs. Zhao sigh, and said to Aunt Qiu, dumbfounded, "Who do you think Meier is like? Her father and I are both disciplined, but she is a grudge, and she refuses to take even the slightest loss."

"The servant girl thinks that Miss is very good. People say that it is a blessing to suffer, but if you take a step back, it is a hundred times more difficult to earn that step back than to take a step back. Unreasonable disturbance is not good, but why do you want to forgive people? Madam, don’t blame the servant girl for speaking badly. The servant girl doesn’t understand housekeepers, account books, and even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the servant girl still thinks she is three points better than the madam when it comes to human nature.”

"It's not just three points, Yingniang is ten points better than me."

"Ma'am, I'm honored." Qiu Momo smiled brightly, "According to the days, Miss should be back soon."
