atypical prostitute

Chapter 136

It is not a secret in Yinzhou City that the Zhang family persecuted Ayu by all means for the sake of incense, but everyone in the world has the instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil, so no one came out to say a word of justice for Ayu even though they knew it was unfair.Only Uncle Jiu, for some unknown reason, actually accepted this helpless weak girl.

The city of Yinzhou is not big, so the news that Ayu was sent as a favor by the ninth uncle to Shaohou, who went home to visit his relatives, quickly reached the ears of almost everyone.Those who had rejected Ayu's entreaties all bowed their heads for their own short-sightedness.

But after Mrs. Zhang got the news, she didn't panic at all.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, she has always been aware of her identity and responsibilities. Although her treatment of Ayu was a bit excessive, as long as she saw the women with big bellies dangling in the yard, sleeping soundly in the arms of the nurse The sweet white and tender dough made her feel that everything was worth it.

All the guilt will be borne by me alone.

Thinking to herself, Mrs. Zhang calmly opened Mrs. Shaohou's invitation.

The post was very ordinary and ordinary, the invitation was written on fine cotton and linen paper with ink mixed with gold powder, it was nothing more than a bride entering the Ye family for the first time, specially booking the largest restaurant in Yinzhou City, and asking her family members to show her face.

She said it very politely, but Mrs. Zhang couldn't just laugh it off.

Her mother was from the Fu's family in the north, which was originally the support of Zhang's arrogance among the sisters-in-law of the Ye family, but now, it has become a big mountain weighing on her heart.

Ye Chuan's wife has a very complicated background.

Nominally, she is the concubine's daughter of Lord Fu Zhongsu of the North, but she is actually the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess. When she got married, Princess Yan took the lead, and now she is bestowed with the title of Princess Princess. She has made up most of Chang'an with red makeup.

But it was Ye Chuan who made Zhang's even more at a loss as to how to deal with it.

Ye Chuan was born in a side branch of the Ye family, so he didn't have any weight in the clan, but in only three generations, the achievements of this branch have already surpassed most of the clan.If you don't know what is good or bad, you must put on airs as a member of the clan, I'm afraid it will damage your husband's future.

The grievances between Uncle Qi and Duke Ye are all the affairs of their older generation. Mrs. Zhang knows clearly that she, the daughter-in-law of the grandson of the Ye family, is also the number one person in Yinzhou City.After leaving Yinzhou, she is just a woman from an ordinary family.

Ye Xiaonan has no official position so far!
Ye Chuan has already become an uncle of the country, and he is also officially worshiped as a third-rank general!
The gap between each other is thousands of miles away.

Sure enough, Ayu was a disaster, the Ye family had offspring because of her, and also because of her...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang rubbed her temples. There is no good banquet, but there is no good party, but she has to participate.

How to please the Shaohou and his wife without losing the face of the direct lineage has become the most urgent problem she needs to solve right now.

Fortunately, three days after the banquet was scheduled, she still had enough time to prepare.

Poor Grandma Sun...

With a sigh, the strategy of throwing pawns to save the car has taken shape.

……

……

Yinzhou is small in size and not rich in products, but because of the existence of the Ye family, they are very particular about the details of life. There are many restaurants in the city, the most famous and exquisite of which is Songhe Tower. The daily passenger flow is like a sea. Seats must be at least ten days in advance.

But today's Songhe Tower is unusual, it is actually heavily guarded early in the morning.

First, more than a dozen heavily armored soldiers came on horseback, holding golden halberds, and drove the curious neighbors beyond a lime-white line with expressionless faces.Afterwards, dozens of pretty maidservants, led by the nun covered in silk, stood in front of the carved wooden door, keeping their eyes on the nose, nose and heart.

Some well-informed people saw that the army man was so majestic as if he was born into the world, and the maid was as tender as a flower bone falling out of a flower bone. This is so outstanding but very face-to-face, and suddenly realized that today is probably the host of the banquet hosted by Mrs. Shaohou.

Who knows who received the invitation?
Mrs. Shaohou's invitation, naturally no one dared to slack off.Since then, the charming guests have arrived one after another, including the humble green oil car and the luxurious carved red sandalwood car. All the people who get off the car are the leading figures in Yinzhou. As soon as the ladies get off the car, there is a nanny with three The servants stepped forward and welcomed them into the restaurant with compliments and humility.

Because of her status as the grandson's daughter-in-law, the Zhang family was a little arrogant when socializing with the sisters-in-law in the family on weekdays, but this time she did not dare to show off at the banquet, and the carriage had already arrived before noon.

On women's occasions, it is necessary to distinguish each other in their attire. Mrs. Zhang is young and beautiful, and she is also a direct descendant of the eldest family. Even if she came to subdue Mrs. Shaohou today, she still couldn't help showing off in her attire.

I saw a pink peony silk flower on her bun, which was lifelike, and tassels of various colors around her, but they were miscellaneous but not chaotic.The rouge-colored fur faded away, revealing a pale pink brocade gown with flowing clouds chasing the moon pattern, and a pink and white skirt with a pattern of singing birds and branches. Under the warm winter sun, the embroidery mixed with gold and silver threads shone with her movements. Shining brightly, the embroidered shoes covered with rice pearls are faintly revealed.

Surrounded by maids and women, Mrs. Zhang walked slowly through the front hall into the elegant house built around the water.Since she came here dressed exquisitely, she inevitably looked around proudly, and found that those who were also young were not as noble as her, and those who were handsome were not as vigorous as her, so she couldn't help but feel proud.

——Although she was mentally prepared to humble herself to Mrs. Shaohou, she didn't want to be too humble after all.

After confirming that she was still outstanding among her sisters-in-law, Zhang's mind calmed down a lot. She looked around with a sense of superiority, and found that the people invited this time were all familiar faces, but there were a few who were notoriously cheeky. , He brought his wife here.Seeing the frightened gestures on those immature faces, Zhang's heart became more and more proud.

Want to get the moon first if you are close to the water?

Zhang has always been extremely disdainful of selling girls for glory.The Fu family in the north is famous for their looks and heroism. Almost every generation of emperors has a daughter of the Fu family in the harem. She has listened to her mother talking about the dirty things in the palace since she was a child. None of them want to enter the palace as a concubine.

The glory of the concubine is vain, and she lives on the cusp of the storm every day, and if she is not careful, she will be killed.Even if one's luck reaches the extreme and the man becomes aloof in one fell swoop, he will have to escape death to become the Queen Mother.

At least Mrs. Zhang doesn't think there is anything to envy in this trembling life.

After sneering, Mrs. Zhang sat down dignifiedly under the guidance of her servants.

Not long after, Mrs. Shaohou came.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly left the table with everyone to salute: "Mrs. Shaohou is well."

"They're all my sisters-in-law, so why be polite, why don't you get up quickly."

The voice was clear and clear like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley. Zhang Shi followed the prestige and couldn't help but stare blankly: she really is a beautiful woman.

She thought gloomily, even though she had known for a long time that the eldest princess was the number one lady in the empire, and the Fu family had always produced beauties, but when she saw Fu Lici's appearance, she couldn't help feeling jealous.

An elaborate dress has become a ridiculous foil!

Whether it is appearance or demeanor, Fu Lici, who is wearing a dark red golden thread hooked phoenix bird flapping its wings and embroidered with brocade sleeves, is much better than herself, not to mention that she is younger and more charming than herself.

Because she is unable to bear children, she has not had sex for a long time, and she is physically and mentally exhausted due to the whole day's hard work. No amount of rouge can cover her paleness and haggardness.

But Mrs. Shaohou is a newlywed, and she is mixing oil with honey. Looking at her slightly flushed cheeks and lazy and blurred eyes, Mrs. Zhang knows that they had a good time last night.

However, despite all the dissatisfaction in her heart, the Zhang family is the daughter-in-law of the aristocratic family after all, and she represents the seventh uncle and Ye Xiaonan at this moment.After a short period of unhappiness, she immediately picked up a glass of fine wine and said respectfully: "My aunt came to Yinzhou, but she was a junior but couldn't go to see her right away. I hope you will forgive me for neglecting her."

Li Ci saw that she spoke in a clear and orderly manner, and that she was able to toast with a smile while holding a grudge in her heart. It can be seen that the women in charge of the back houses of the aristocratic family are all capable, so they did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and replied: "If you are a woman, you can treat her as a husband." The family is the most important thing. Yueniang works hard for the important affairs of her children and grandchildren, and it is too late for Li Ci to admire her, so how can she blame her?"

It's just that these high-sounding words fell into the ears of everyone, but it was a different feeling.

Mrs. Zhang is a sensible person. As soon as Li Ci came out, she saw Ayu dressed as a wife behind her. Now that she heard this again, her heart thumped, but her face became more and more smiling, and said: "Auntie, you are serious. .Yueniang is incompetent. After three years of entry, she can't flourish. She can only redouble her efforts in virtue, lest the world belittle the Zhang family and... the Fu family."

A few words, seemingly simple, are the countermeasures she came up with after days of hard thinking.

Ye Chuan was a young man who was granted the title of Marquis, and he was rightly proud of it. The seventh uncle and Lord Yejun were also very dirty. The Zhang family knew that this matter could not be counted on the clan.

But she soon thought of another way out.

For a woman to gain a firm foothold in her husband's house, she relies on nothing but her own belly and her wife's background.The stomach can no longer be counted on, so I can only make a big fuss about my mother's part.Mrs. Shaohou was born in the Fu family in the north, so she is also Zhang's aunt.Although calling a woman younger than herself an aunt was unavoidably awkward, but after the first call, she actually felt a lot more relaxed.

——In Fu Lici's eyes, there is clearly a lot less coldness.

There is no face that can't be discarded in the world, and Zhang's tasted the sweetness, so he hit the iron while it was hot: "Yue Niang knew she was guilty, but she was born in a big family, but she couldn't help herself. My aunt has been in Yinzhou for a while, and she must be very concerned about the old ancestor's love. The past between..."

Speaking of this, she swallowed deliberately, raised her head with tears in her eyes, actually took off the hairpin in public, knelt down and begged for sin: "Since I did that evil thing, I have been restless all day long, burning incense and praying every day, may Ayu Peace and smoothness, may the Buddha open his eyes, all the sins will be borne by me alone, don't fall on the innocent child. Today's banquet, although Ayu has no intention of questioning the crime, Yueniang is ashamed and dare not be in the same room with the ladies."

Zhang's move was obviously beyond the expectations of everyone present.They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Ci with curious or playful eyes.

Want to weigh my weight?

Li Ci snorted coldly, stretched out her delicate hands, and Bai Yinmei stepped forward and graciously lifted her up.

She walked slowly to Zhang Shi, bent down, knelt down on one knee, helped Zhang Shi up, and said: "As the eldest daughter-in-law, it is her duty to devote herself to inheriting the incense."

While speaking, a woman picked up the hairpin Zhang had taken off and handed it to Dao Lici.Li Ci glanced at it casually. It was a delicate lotus leaf hairpin all over the pool. The chiseled craftsmanship was quite exquisite, and the veins of the lotus leaves were clearly visible. It could be regarded as a fine work.

Zhang Shi watched nervously, and Li Ci's inadvertent "Huh" made her feel deeply inferior.

Her husband, Ye Xiaonan, was unable to gain fame in the army because of his congenital inadequacies, and his literary talents were mediocre, making it difficult for him to become an official.Although the door lintel is supported by the Seventh Uncle, how long can an octogenarian survive?
Among the Ye clan, the most beautiful one is indeed Ye Ziyun's lineage!
Zhang thought bitterly, and strengthened her clinging heart.
