58, Chapter 58
Mrs. Qi's body was beating loudly, and to her ears, Yang Haiyan's words seemed to be killing her. Is Mrs. Qin going to report to the official position? But it's just a few words between women, how can it be so serious? However, she still couldn't live up to expectations and her legs softened, and she immediately knelt down in front of Yang Haiyan, while praying: "Mrs. Qin, please forgive me, it's not what I said, it's not what I said, it's what they said, I just listened."
Yang Haiyan didn't know that Mrs. Qi was so timid. She was so frightened that she knelt down, which really stunned Yang Haiyan for a moment. However, she did not laugh and stepped forward to help Mrs. Qi up: "Mrs. Qi, what are you doing? Of course I know you are not gossiping about me. After all, someone told me a few days ago about my family members. The women in the house specialize in gossiping about people. I wonder if the people the other party is talking about are the same people that Mrs. Qi heard about? "
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she realized that someone had already told Mrs. Qin? But yes, Mrs. Qin is the wife of a thousand captains after all, so it would be normal if someone with whom she was close informed her. Thinking of this, Mrs. Qi felt a lot more comfortable. She thought, she didn't say this first. Since someone said it, what does it matter if she says it again?
Seeing that she was in a daze, Yang Haiyan called out: "Mrs. Qi? Mrs. Qi?"
Mrs. Qi came back to her senses and her mood had calmed down a little. She was not as scared as before. She said: "Mrs. Qin, since you know everything, I won't hide it anymore. Who is the person who said this? Mrs. Feng, who wants to buy a car today, and Mrs. Tang and others who are friends with her. "
Yang Haiyan only knew the ten centurion wives under Qin Fang, so she didn't recognize today's Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang. "Tell me about this matter of Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang." Speaking of this, she said again, "Aunt Lian, is the tea ready?"
Aunt Lian said: "Come on, come on..." She came in with tea, "Mrs. Qi, please have tea."
Mrs. Qi: "Thank you very much, grandma."
Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Lian, go prepare some snacks and bring them to Mrs. Qi later."
Aunt Lian: "Yes. Mrs. Qi, please drink tea slowly."
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she asked for snacks? Everyone knows that Mrs. Qin's dim sum shop has a good business, and not only the prices are cheap, but the taste is really good. There are many people who are envious and jealous, but they don't dare to take advantage of that shop. Who dares to make up his mind? All the men are from the military camp. Therefore, everyone could only watch helplessly, getting more and more sour.
As soon as Aunt Lian left, Mrs. Qi told everything she knew. Mrs. Qi usually liked hanging out with Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Feng, but she was timid and just a listener. Of course, if she was brave enough, she would not be frightened by Yang Haiyan like this.
But people who are timid can also listen to gossip, and Mrs. Qi usually listens to it with gusto. However, although Mrs. Qi was timid and did not dare to talk about people's right and wrong, she also had a good mouth. Otherwise, she would not have said such words in the carriage. One advantage of Mrs. Qi is that she never talks nonsense. No matter what others said, what came out of her mouth would never be added to the story.
Yang Haiyan listened to her talk for a while and concluded that those people just said that she was a prodigal and couldn't lay eggs. When she first heard what Mrs. Qi said in the carriage, Yang Haiyan was angry, not because they were talking about her right and wrong, but because she was angry about why her daughter was trying to embarrass a woman. But she wasn't angry anymore, she had an idea in her mind.
Yang Haiyan turned her thoughts around and asked, "Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang must have laid a lot of eggs, right?"
Mrs. Qi didn't understand for a while: "Huh?"
Yang Haiyan took a sip of tea: "That is to say, they gave birth to many children, right?"
Mrs. Qi knew this best, and she immediately said: "Mrs. Feng gave birth to three sons, Mrs. Tang gave birth to three daughters before her, and the fourth gave birth to a son. Among us, they are the most capable of giving birth." of."
Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said, "Then Mrs. Tang's mouth must be worse than Mrs. Feng's."
Mrs. Qi immediately looked at Yang Haiyan with admiration: "How do you know?"
Yang Haiyan smiled: "I guessed it." Speaking of which, it wasn't all about guessing, but analysis. That Mrs. Tang likes to say that people can't lay eggs, which shows that her patriarchal mentality is very serious. Presumably, when her three children were all daughters, she was under great psychological pressure and had a very low self-esteem. In those years, she must have been very depressed, very cowardly, afraid to speak, and huddled in a dark corner. . After giving birth to a son for the fourth time, I suddenly felt proud and proud. To put it nicely, it was a waste of money. To put it harshly, it was because the inferiority complex and depression in the previous few years needed to be vented.
Therefore, her mouth must be more vicious. She urgently needs to prove herself and urgently want to be recognized by others. Then, return the suffering you have suffered to another person.
Mrs. Qi really thought that Yang Haiyan had guessed, and couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Qin, your guess is really accurate. She usually likes to gossip."
Yang Haiyan smiled, and when she was about to say something, Aunt Yu came: "Madam, Chen Dashi said that Mrs. Lu is here."
Yang Haiyan was stunned for a moment, and then said to Mrs. Qi: "Mrs. Qi, please sit down for a while, and I'll pick up a guest."
Mrs. Qi: "Hey."
Yang Haiyan went to the main hall, not intending to welcome Sister-in-law Lu to the study. Although Mrs. Qi came to "surrender" to her, she had no intention of confessing to anyone. Sister-in-law Lu came today and saw Mrs. Qi here. If she had friction with Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang tomorrow, maybe Sister-in-law Lu would know what Mrs. Qi said.
This is the second time Sister-in-law Lu has come here. The first time was after Qin Fang and his wife moved, and they invited everyone to dinner. This is the second time she comes here.
Unlike the first time I came here, there were more servants in the house this time.
Sister-in-law Lu arrived at the main hall and Yang Haiyan was already there. Sister-in-law Lu saluted as soon as they met: "I have met Mrs. Qin." She also thought about it all morning, thinking about what happened in the carriage, and felt that Yang Haiyan's identity had changed, and she could no longer be as casual as before. Maybe Yang Haiyan likes her to be respectful, so she salutes in a proper manner.
Yang Haiyan was slightly stunned. Speaking of which, she is a modern person. Although she follows rules to the outside world and is used to all the customs here, in private, she doesn't like to talk about so many rules and etiquette. At this moment, Sister-in-law Lu greeted her politely, which gave her some ideas. She felt as if a wall had been built between Sister-in-law Lu and her.
Yang Haiyan recalled that she had never put on airs in front of Sister-in-law Lu. She was still polite to Sister-in-law Lu, just like when she was a neighbor before, but Sister-in-law Lu... maybe she was overthinking it. Yang Haiyan smiled: "Why are you being so polite to me, sister-in-law? I got sick when I first came here, and you were the one who took care of me. We are sisters in private. You don't have to be so polite to me, sister-in-law."
Sister-in-law Lu stood up and said, "You are my sister. This is my blessing."
you?
Yang Haiyan sat down and stopped continuing the topic of sisters: "Sister-in-law, please sit down. Is sister-in-law coming over now? Do you have something to do?"
Sister-in-law Lu sat down and said hesitantly: "Actually, I should have come a few days ago, but I forgot a lot of things for a while. On the carriage today, Mrs. Qi mentioned those gossips, and I remembered one thing. One day Come back, I went to carry water and heard a few women talking..."
The women Sister-in-law Lu was talking about were Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Tang. Of course, there was also an audience member, Mrs. Qi.
Yang Haiyan was very surprised. What did Sister-in-law Lu mean when she said this today? It's not that she suspected anything, it was something she had heard before. But today, did she remember it because of what happened on the carriage? Yang Haiyan didn't know. However, even though she already knew everything from Mrs. Qi, she was still grateful to Sister-in-law Lu.
Yang Haiyan said gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I know it all. Among a group of people, there are always a few mean-mouthed people, just like a pot of rice left out for a long time will always have a few rice worms. This person, too If you are idle, your mouth will not be idle.”
Sister-in-law Lu said: "If this mouth grows on someone else, there's nothing we can do about it. You Shu Shu, just don't worry about it."
Yang Haiyan said: "I know, don't worry."
Sister-in-law Lu chatted with Yang Haiyan again, and then left. Yang Haiyan got up and walked her to the door. She didn't return to the study until he was out of sight. When we arrived at the study room, Aunt Lian had already returned with snacks from the snack shop. Yang Haiyan and Mrs. Qi didn't talk much. They gave her snacks, thanked her for telling her about this today, and told her that she could come and sit more often when she was free.
Mrs. Qi thought that Yang Haiyan valued her, so she happily went home carrying snacks.
When it was time for dinner, Qin put down his duties and came back. During the meal, Yang Haiyan asked him: "Ms. sir, do you know Qi Baifu, Tang Baifu and Feng Baifu? It is said that they are all under General Ao."
Qin Fang didn't know why his wife suddenly mentioned this person, but he knew everyone not only from General Ao, but also from other generals. "I know, Qi Baifu and Feng Baifu are under Wei Qianfu. As for the Tang Baifu you mentioned... there is Tang Baifu under Wei Qianfu, and there is Tang Baifu under Hong Qianfu, but I don't know which one you are talking about? Why? Yes, met their wives today?”
Yang Haiyan said: "I do know Hong Qianfu's wife. That day at General Ao's Mansion, my aunt introduced me to Mrs. Hong. I don't know their wives, but I heard that their wives are good at laying eggs and look down on me. It won’t lay eggs.”
Qin Fang: "..." He seemed a little confused.
Seeing his confused look, Yang Haiyan smiled and explained: "It's today..." She told what happened to Mrs. Qi today, "But you don't have to worry about it, I will solve it."
