253, Chapter 253 (1/2)

The Lord of Xiangyu County also took advantage of Mrs. Du in the matter of saluting, but it was a rule that those of lower rank saluted to those of higher rank. Even though the Lord of Xiangyu County was not as senior as Mrs. Du, the rank was still there. There, there is no way. Although everyone knew that Xiangyu County Master was taking advantage of the opportunity to retaliate, in terms of rules and etiquette, she took advantage of him.

Just a moment later, Yang Haiyan helped Mrs. Du in front of everyone, but it hurt the face of County Master Xiangyu. There were originally three people in the group, but Yang Haiyan did not salute. The County Lord Xiangyu arrived naturally, but did not pay attention. Because Yang Haiyan did not salute, Mrs. Du and Qu saluted. In the eyes of the County Lord Xiangyu, she felt that ‌It's something that hurts Mrs. Du's face. But little did he know that Yang Haiyan actually helped Mrs. Du. ‌Mrs. Du’s face is not given to her.

Yang Haiyan, the chief general of Xiangyu County, looked up and down and saw Zhang Sheng's face. She is beautiful, but there are many beautiful women in the capital, but fair skin is rare. The face seemed to be glossy, very smooth and tender. She wears a milk green skirt and a milk white top. Although the style of the clothes is simple, the color scheme is extremely gentle. Unlike other women who come to celebrate their birthdays, who dress themselves up with jewels, wealth and splendor, her dress is also simple, with hairpins, earrings and necklaces all made of pearls. Except for a crystal clear jade bracelet on her wrist.

But in the eyes of the Xiangyu County Lord, his appearance was indeed shabby.

‌‌‌A strange woman, Xiangyu County Lord’s position is that the Xu family is a poor woman who wants to flatter the Du family.

County Lord Xiangyu snorted coldly: "Where does this unworthy woman come from? She doesn't understand any rules and still refuses to be polite when she sees this County Lord?"

There is always no shortage of lively people in the world, just like in the lobby, even though they dare not laugh at Mrs. Du or add insult to injury to Mrs. Du, it does not rule out that they dare not make fun of her.

Yang Haiyan ignored the surrounding eyes and turned to County Master Xiangyu. Smiling slightly, she learned that County Master Xiangyu didn't recognize her. So: "Bingyun has just arrived in the capital. I don't know all the ladies and gentlemen, and I don't know their official grades. If I am rude in any way, please forgive me." She first said to everyone in the lobby, and then ‌And ‌ to County Master Xiangyu, “Fang ‌ I heard the old lady and my godmother calling you County Master, do you dare to ask if the County Master is the first grade?”

County Master Xiangyu's face darkened. She felt that this woman was sorry for her: "No, so what? What do you mean by your words? Please explain it to me, the County Master."

Yang Haiyan smiled and asked again: "That is... the first-grade county master."

County Lord Xiangyu's face became even darker. The second level of County Lord was the limit, how could he be the first level? ‌People are mocking her. "No, what do you mean? Don't be pretentious."

Yang Haiyan showed a surprised look, as if she was very innocent: "Forgive me, County Lord, I am new to the capital, so I want to ask clearly, the County Lord is neither a first-class nor a genuine first-class, nor a super-class? Otherwise, why should I do it?" Do you want my second-grade wife to salute you?"

County Lord Xiangyu was slightly stunned, a little surprised, the woman was only around twenty years old, she was neither a relative of the emperor, nor the princess or princess of any family, or the wife of a prince, she was basically the same person as those of others. We all know each other. Therefore, she naturally believed that this woman was of low class.

But what about the genuine second product? Since those of ‌ age are not those with backgrounds, they must rely on men. If the wife is a second-grade official, then the husband must also be an official of the second rank. ‌All the first and second grade officials in the capital are old men. Therefore, County Chief Xiangyu mocked: "Who am I to be so bold as not to salute me? It turns out that she is the stepmother of a second-grade official from a certain family. I don't know which second-grade official in the capital is like that." Good luck to have such a beautiful young wife like you."

Before Yang Haiyan could open her mouth, the old lady of Chengenhou Mansion hurriedly said: "County Master, this is Mrs. Bingyun, the second-grade wife personally appointed by the emperor. The title Bingyun is not the second-grade imperial decree of any family. It is that person. Mrs. Bingyun from Yunxiang County proposed the fields for the military camp, saltpeter ice making, and the potato rice and sweet potato powder. "The old lady's words became more and more outrageous. , prompt reminder. ‌The title is awarded based on one's own ability, not by men.

County Lord Xiangyu looked a little confused. She knew about this lady, after all, there were rumors about her, but she had never met her, and she didn't know that she had moved to the capital, so she didn't know her. But now her face has been lost and her words have been said. It is impossible to ask her to apologize. Besides, she knew that the husband of Mrs. Bingyun was a student of Du Ke, so everyone who was friendly with the Du family also had a grudge against her. "Who do I think she is? It turns out to be Mrs. Bingyun who is better than seeing her after hearing about it." She thought for a while, and a hint of calculation appeared at the corner of her mouth. The gift Mrs. Yun gave to the old lady is also unique, why not let us take a look?" As for the fact that the other party is the second-ranking official's stepmother, she never mentioned it and just ignored it.

The old lady of Chengenhou Mansion said: "It doesn't matter what the gifts are. As long as you come, I will be happy. As people get older, they just like such lively things." She didn't want County Lord Xiangyu to be with him. Mrs. Bingyun caused trouble on her birthday, but she represented the Tian family and the Du family, and she didn't want to offend either party.

County Chief Xiangyu said: "Old madam, I'm just curious. I think everyone is curious too, right?" After saying this, she glanced at the other people in the lobby.

"I'm really curious," a lady said. Those who opened the door were either those who wanted to make friends with the Tian family, or those who couldn't deal with the Du family.

Some ladies smiled but did not say anything.

The old lady of Chengenhou Mansion said: "County Lord, today..."

"Old madam." County Lord Xiangyu interrupted the old madam, "Does it mean that the old madam doesn't give her any face? Am I just curious? By the way, this is my gift. Congratulations on the old madam's birthday." He said, took out his gift and opened it.

Her gift is a rectangular box. Although it is not big, it is not small either, about fifty centimeters high.

Everyone was curious, what kind of gift it was, and the box was so big.

County Lord Xiangyu opened the box and saw a blood coral inside, blood red and dazzling. Blood coral is also called ruby. It is very expensive, but most young people don’t like it because it is only for appreciation. With a character like Xiangyu County Lord, he naturally likes to wear it. On the body, people can feel it.

The Qianhou Mansion has money, and the more precious things there are, the more things there are. Xiangyu County Lord just took out a random thing from it. However, blood coral is also very precious, especially suitable for giving as gifts. On days like the old lady’s birthday, it is even more suitable to give as gifts.

"What a beautiful blood coral."

"A blood coral of this size must be very expensive, right?"

"County Master Xiangyu is really grand."

"Isn't that true? The Qian Hou Mansion is indeed the richest prince mansion in Qi State."

"What do you think Mrs. Bingyun will give?"

"How do Madam Bingyun compare with County Master Xiangyu? Madam Bingyun's husband comes from a poor family. Even if he has a little money, it's just dirty silver. What treasures does he have?"

Mrs. Du's face was very normal. She had long been accustomed to this kind of comparison banquet. She patted Yang Haiyan on the shoulder: "Don't worry."

Yang Haiyan smiled: "Godmother, I'm fine." Yang Haiyan turned around and asked Aunt Lian to bring the gift, and then said to the old lady, "Bingyun's gift is naturally not as good as the county master's. I'm afraid the county master will have to pay for it." "It's a joke." She said, and she took out her gift, which was also in a wooden box. Amid everyone's curiosity, she opened the wooden box: "Bingyun heard that the old lady was feeling unwell, so she happened to collect a few ginseng and sent them to the old lady to replenish her health."

The old lady ‌‌ Yang Haiyan ‌‌ gave her ‌ ginseng. She was stimulated by the death of her daughter and her health has been poor all year round, so she had to take medicine. If you take too many medicines, you will understand a little about some medicines. In particular, she also knew a little bit about ginseng. "It's a wild ginseng that's thirty years old, right? It looks really good. I've heard that ginseng is good and bad. It has five shapes. The ginseng has all five shapes and is in good shape. The gift is too valuable."

Perhaps, the price is not as expensive as blood coral, but a ginseng with all five shapes and good body is rare, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it in the market.

Mrs. Du didn't know much about ginseng, so she was shocked when she heard what the old lady said. Are these types of ginseng expensive? Bingyun also gave one to the Du family. But the Du family didn't know the price of ginseng, and since it was given by someone else, they couldn't go to the drugstore to estimate it. I heard from the old lady later that she also knew.

"It should be wild ginseng that is fifty years old." Suddenly, another voice sounded.

When everyone left, they saw a philanthropic woman. This woman is the wife of the president of the Taiyuan Hospital, and she is also a female doctor herself. Mrs. Yuanzheng walked up to everyone and said, "Old madam, do you mind if I take a ginseng?"

The old lady said: "Please."

Mrs. Yuanzheng picked up the ginseng and said, "It is indeed a fifty-year-old wild ginseng. Wild ginseng that is fifty years old is rare nowadays. Wild ginseng has a harsh growth environment, so it is not easy to grow. In other words, there are no three-year-old wild ginseng." For more than ten years, ginseng will not grow up. Therefore, many wild ginseng disappear before they grow up. They are either poached, eaten or trampled by animals. Therefore, wild ginseng that is more than thirty years old is particularly valuable, not to mention that it is even more precious if it is more than fifty years old.

On the basis of fifty years of research, we can judge based on the five shapes of ginseng. The five shapes of ginseng include whiskers, reeds, skin, lines, and body. With the five shapes and good shape, a ginseng is indeed worthy of collection. "

‌ Yang Haiyan spent 200,000 trading coins to buy the wild ginseng on the trading platform. She didn't know what to give to the old lady of Chengenhou Mansion. She thought ‌ would be more appropriate to give ginseng. Anyway, ‌ definitely not Gifts that can go wrong. Of course, before giving the ginseng, she asked Dr. Li to pass a ginseng. She also knew the value of the ginseng, so she thought it was appropriate.

After hearing what Mrs. Yuanzheng said, many people stared at wild ginseng and Yang Haiyan. If they didn't know who Yang Haiyan was before, then after the old lady explained, they knew who Yang Haiyan was. After all, Mrs. Bingyun and General Qin were both famous. With their reputations, everyone also knew the Qin family's family background. , knowing that he came from a poor family.

But they never expected that the Qin family, who came from a poor family, would be able to get such a precious gift. The fifty-year-old Yeshan Shenhui was given away like this, which shows that the Qin family still has one. If there is only one, Mrs. Bingyun will definitely not give it away if it is used to save lives.

‌Yes, some people are tempted. Some families have people in poor health, and it is difficult to find a medicine. I don’t know...

Following the gift that Yang Haiyan brought out, County Master Xiangyu made a fuss. She glared at Yang Haiyan fiercely, then continued to fall out with Yang Haiyan at this critical moment, and went to talk to women she knew well. On the other hand, Mrs. Yuan Zheng, while she was eating wild ginseng, chatted with Yang Haiyan and Mrs. Du about everyday things.

Then, there were more and more guests, and Sister Du also came, as well as all the princesses, princesses, and the like. These people had high status and naturally arrived relatively late. Because they didn’t know about the affairs of County Master Xiangyu, Mrs. Du, and Yang Haiyan, they didn’t pay much attention to Yang Haiyan. However, when they greeted Mrs. Du and heard Mrs. Du introduce Mrs. Bingyun, they also nodded politely.

The princesses, princesses, and concubines who are still alive and well are either engaged in the fight for their legitimate sons, but their natal family and husband's family remain independent. So in the incident of seizing the direct descendants, their natal family and husband's family sided with the emperor. Therefore, these people are smart and will not worry about the old lady's birthday. After all, there are only a few people who are as arrogant and arrogant as the head of Xiangyu County.

Everyone gathered in the lobby for a while and then started having lunch. All the ladies of high status in the capital were here, and it was very quiet during lunch. When the ancients had meals at home, they might have gossiped, but outside they were very particular about rules. The rules for eating were: don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail-300x250' , target_type: 'mix' });

Therefore, eating is particularly boring in Yang Haiyan.

After the meal, some of the ladies left, and some stayed in the Marquis's mansion to perform. Yang Haiyan missed her son at home and had no intention of staying. Mrs. Du had no interest in staying because of the incident with County Master Xiangyu today, so she took Yang Haiyan, Mrs. Qu and Sister Du with her. The host said hello and said goodbye.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, the four of them got on Du Mansion's carriage together. Du's Mansion and Qin's Mansion are in the same place. You can go to Du's Mansion first and then back to Qin's Mansion, and you can stay with them for a while.

On the carriage, Mrs. Du said: "Bingyun, what you did today has offended the head of Xiangyu County. She is very willful and weird. Be careful of doing small things to trick you."

Yang Haiyan said: "Don't worry, godmother, I'm not afraid of her." The original plot also mentioned the head of Xiangyu County. Although no women from the Tian family entered the emperor's harem, the second prince was named the crown prince, and Xiangyu County The Lord wanted his daughter to be engaged to the second prince, so she also knew about the Xiangyu County Lord. The county boss is fearless because he has no brains.

Mrs. Du added: "But you don't have to worry. If she really does anything, your father will definitely seek justice for you." The reason why her husband didn't do anything was because men are not good with women. She didn't care about it, and besides, County Princess Xiangyu only saluted her, and she didn't dare to do other things.

Yang Haiyan held Mrs. Du's hand and said, "I know my godmother loves me. Don't worry, godmother. I have a title and a good reputation. If she shamelessly slanders me and damages her reputation, you can't blame me." ”

While chatting, the carriage arrived at Du's house. Everyone got out of the carriage. Mrs. Du invited Yang Haiyan to sit in the house. Yang Haiyan declined because she wanted to be at home.

Yang Haiyan got on her carriage, and Mrs. Du and others also entered the Du Mansion.

Mrs. Du: "From the second child's house, you and your eldest sister should pay more attention to the outside world, especially the head of Xiangyu County. Bingyun has just arrived in the capital, so don't let others bully her."

Mrs. Qu: "Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on."

Sister Du: "Mom, what's going on?" She hadn't come yet at that time, and it was hard to ask questions at the Chengenhou Mansion. She was really curious now.

‌Yes, Mrs. Qu told the story of the incident, which naturally also included the fifty-year-old wild ginseng incident.

Upon hearing this, Sister Du said angrily: "Then County Master Xiangyu is really shameless. Doesn't it mean that she has fallen in love with a man and she still has to marry her?"

Mrs. Du said: "Back then, your father stood for the throne and became the emperor, but your grandfather was openly a royalist. In addition to the fact that we did not agree to the marriage in private, the Tian family once proposed to the late emperor, but the late emperor also did not agree. 1 Then your grandfather is a royalist, and the late emperor does not want to force our Du family. Secondly, if the head of Xiangyu County gets married to your eldest brother, then the Du family will be pushed to the side of the Tian family, which is the side of the current emperor. It was something the late emperor didn't want to see, and it was also something the other princes didn't want to see.

So, after our Du family rejected the Tian family's marriage proposal, rumors spread in the capital, saying that the Tian family wanted to threaten the Du family's Dalang to marry Xiangyu County Lord. The rumors were spread by other princes, in order to prevent the Du family and the Tian family from marrying. The situation is very complicated, just keep it in mind. Your father said that the Du family will only remain independent in the next generation. Now the emperor is in his prime, so your husband's family and your mother's family should not do anything small. "Of course, I am talking about Sister Du's husband's family and Qu's mother's family.

Sister Du, Qu: "Yes."

Sister Du: "But mother, sister Bingyun is also a powerful one. She is not afraid of Xiangyu County Lord."

Mrs. Du smiled: "She is a person with character and smart."

Sister Du said: "She is smart, but mother is too good to sister Bingyun, right? "She didn't say that out of jealousy, she was just curious.

Mrs. Du: "If she wasn't smart, how could she become a second-rank lady? If your mother didn't rely on your father, she would never be a second-rank lady in her life."

The words made Sister Du and Mrs. Qu laugh.

Qin Mansion

Qin Linyang hadn't seen his mother for a day and missed her very much. He pestered his brothers to play with him for a while, and then ran to find his father.

Qin Linyang's small park hadn't been built yet, and Qin Fang was in the construction team. Seeing his son coming again, he had a headache: "Why don't you take a nap?"

Qin Linyang pouted and said: "Dad, where's Mom?"

Qin Fang: "Didn't I tell you that your mother went out and she would be back when you woke up."

Qin Linyang: "Then why didn't Mom take me out?"

Qin Fang: "Because the people with your mother are all women, you are a man, you can't go with her. "

Qin Linyang didn't understand this explanation, and he thought: "Then can I be a woman? I don't want to be a man."

Qin Fang was helpless by his son's question: "You go to the gate and wait for me. You will definitely see your mother first when she comes back. Go ahead. "Just don't bother him." Qin Linyang thought about it and ran to the gate. The old woman, Qin Yi and Qin Ao followed him. The mansion has invited ten people including the teacher Qin Yi, but only eight people attend the class every morning. The other two accompany Qin Linyang, taking turns every day. In the afternoon, eight people also learn kung fu from the martial arts master, and two people accompany Qin Linyang, taking turns every day. Today, Qin Yi and Qin Ao accompany Qin Linyang, so when he ran to the gate of the mansion, the two followed him. They ran too fast and the young master fell down. Qin Ao was a little nervous, so he thought of a way: "Young master, why don't I and Qin Yi be human mounts to take you there?" Qin Linyang asked curiously: "What is a human mount? "

Qin Yi and Qin Ao exchanged a glance, then crossed their legs and Qin Ao said, "Young Master, sit on it, with one foot in Qin Yi's arms and one foot in my arms."

Qin Linyang had never played like this before, so he sat on it out of curiosity. His little butt sat on the legs of the two men, and it was quite stable.

Qin Ao said, "Young Master, let's go."

Qin Linyang pulled their clothes and found it very interesting: "Okay, you guys hurry up. "

Qin Yi and Qin Ao started to jog, but they didn't dare to run too fast, as the safety of the young master was the most important. The old woman followed behind and breathed a sigh of relief, as she was the one who was most afraid of seeing the young master running away, and was really worried that the child would fall.

When they arrived at the door, Qin Yi and Qin Ao put Qin Linyang down, and Qin Linyang asked the guard at the door: "Uncle, is my mother back?"

The guard hurriedly said: "No, no, the lady hasn't come back yet. "

Qin Linyang sat on the steps at the door, then lowered his chin and waited. After a while, he saw a carriage coming. Even if he didn't recognize his own carriage, the coachman knew it. Qin Linyang ran, calling: "Mother... Mother..."

Yang Haiyan heard her son's voice in the carriage, lifted the curtain and saw her son running over. Although he was small, he ran fast. She immediately asked the coachman to stop and got off the carriage with Nanny Lian. After getting off the carriage, she stood still and just opened her arms to her son.

"Mother..." Qin Linyang ran into his mother's arms, "Mother, where have you been?"

Yang Haiyan heard her son's grievance: "Mother went to see an old lady, and your father is at home to accompany you, isn't it good?"

Qin Linyang said angrily: "Dad asked me to wait for you at the door. ”

Yang Haiyan led his child to the mansion: "Have you eaten?"

Speaking of eating, the child said actively: "I ate egg custard, lion's head, and cabbage." He raised his belly to his mother and said, "Yeah, full."

Not only full, but bulging. Yang Haiyan touched it and found that his belly was a little hard, obviously because he ate too much. Sure enough, it is not reliable to let a man take care of children.
