In fact, the ladies and ladies had seen He Jiuniang a long time ago. They wanted to wait for her to take the initiative to talk to them and inquire about her identity. Who knew that He Jiuniang had no intention of going there at all.
The sun was so bright outside that they couldn't bear it, so they had no choice but to come to the pavilion together.
"Whose lady is this? How come I have never seen her before?"
The person who spoke was a lady who looked quite round, and the others were following her. From the looks of it, his status should be high.
He Jiuniang tried hard to recall the little notebook Jiang Ruoya gave her, and finally guessed her identity.
This wife should be the training envoy of the Jingzhou City Regiment. Her surname is Huang, but her husband’s name is Li Yong, so everyone respectfully calls her Mrs. Li.
The regimental training envoy of Jingzhou City is a military attaché of the fifth rank, which is a relatively large local official position, and he also has military power. No wonder Mrs. Li can be surrounded by so many people.
When He Jiuniang was looking at them, these people were also looking at her. They found that she was not only good-looking but also had a good figure, and they were suddenly jealous.
He Jiuniang replied with a faint smile: "My husband's family name is Lu."
Surnamed Lu?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. I have never heard of any official taking office recently with the surname Lu. Could it be that he comes from a small family?
But when they saw what she and the two maids were wearing, no one dared to say anything contemptuous.
The skirts they are wearing are all the latest products launched by Jiayuan Pavilion, especially the aqua long skirt worn by He Jiuniang. It has a special shape and is worn throughout the whole process. It not only looks white but also shows off her figure.
Jiayuange is the name of the Lu family’s clothing store. After the formal cooperation with Cheng Xuewei, the store was called Jiayuange.
Many of them fell in love with this skirt and asked their servants to buy it. Unexpectedly, they were told that the skirt had been sold and was still in the store because some small Details need to be polished.
The price of this special skirt in Jiayuange is not cheap. They have to grit their teeth to afford it. They just wanted to see who bought this skirt, but they didn’t expect it to be worn here. On a little-known but extremely beautiful woman.
The most annoying thing is that her clothes look so good, as if they were tailor-made for her.
What they didn’t know was that this was indeed what He Jiuniang had tailor-made for her. She didn’t plan to wear it at first, but when she learned that she was going to attend the banquet, she made the decision early, and I also made some modifications myself and asked the tailor in the store to make them.
“It turns out thatIt's Mrs. Lu. I haven't seen her before, so I thought she was in the wrong place! "
Mrs. Li sat down with a smile. Although she was smiling, her words were not pleasing to the eye. Others also followed suit and gloated.
He Jiuniang was not angry either. , said: “How could it go wrong? I was brought here by Miss Biyu. Even if you go wrong, I can't go wrong. "
The name of the little maid who just brought her here is Biyu. If she were just an ordinary little maid, there would naturally be nothing to say. After all, when everyone comes in, there will be a little maid to lead the way, but this Miss Biyu is the maid serving in the magistrate's wife's room. This status is different and the meaning is different.
The only person who can ask the maid next to the magistrate's wife to come and receive her in person is the person in this house. A distinguished guest.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed for Mrs. Li. After all, Mrs. Li was just an ordinary maid who brought her in. Does this mean that Mrs. Lu’s identity is higher than Mrs. Li’s? Even higher?
Some people just have such an idea, while some people have already started to take action. They were originally standing next to Mrs. Li, but upon seeing this, they immediately moved towards He Jiuniang. , said with a smile: "That's because we misunderstood, Mrs. Lu is really good-looking, this dress must be the best product from Jiayuan Pavilion, right?" What a perfect match for Madam! "
No matter what circle, there are always people who can make the most of the situation. He Jiuniang glanced at Mrs. Li sympathetically, then looked at the lady who took the initiative to show her kindness, and replied: "Yes. , this is not because I want to attend the prefect’s wife’s banquet, but also to meet the ladies. I must dress more decently and not be as casual as usual. ”
He Jiu Niang’s words were meant to be modest, but it was not the same thing in other people’s ears. They felt that He Jiu Niang was just pretending to be in front of them, and she didn’t know how to save money in private. What's going on!
But this is just a slander by myself. Being able to have the prefect's wife's maid come to receive her in person shows that she still has some status. Even if her husband's family is not very powerful, maybe She is also related to the prefect. Everyone here is a human being, so naturally no one will say anything too explicit.
Mrs. Li was also happy when she heard this, and said deliberately: "The Lu family What my sister is saying is wrong. Although we are only writing about housewives, what they represent is the husband’s face. Even if you are not attending a banquet, you should dress yourself up on weekdays. Don’t be reluctant to spend money. These are all appearances! ”
These words were so serious that I almost told He Jiu Niang that if I don’t have any money, my sister can lend you some.
He Jiu Niang only thought it was funny when she heard it, so she followed it. She said with some sadness: "It's not that I don't understand what Mrs. Li said, but weMy family has just come to Jingzhou City not long ago. I really didn’t know that the prices in Jingzhou City would be so expensive. The skirt I am wearing costs dozens of taels, which is enough for our family to eat for several months. When I bought it, This is not ordinary heartache! It's better for Mrs. Li. Your family has been rooted in Jingzhou City for many years. Mr. Li has a prominent reputation, so naturally Mrs. Li can follow suit. ”
This is a direct cry, which made all the ladies and ladies laugh.
Since ancient times, no one has been willing to talk about his family in front of so many people. Those who have no money, people like them, even if they have no money, they still have to look like they are rich on the surface, and must not lose face.
This Mrs. Lu doesn’t seem to be either. How about it!
Yueyan and Yueshu, the only ones at the scene who knew the truth, could hardly hold back their laughter. They lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, resolutely not allowing themselves to laugh out loud, giving Madam It's embarrassing, so they won't have a chance when they run for the position of maid.
But these ladies and ladies are really funny. Now I must think that their wives are shabby, but if you know her wife's Will their true identity be shocking?
No matter what will happen if they find out later, at least they don’t know now. They all cover their mouths and laugh at He Jiuniang, feeling that this woman has just grown a pair of skin. , if you don’t have any brains, if you say something like this, you will be taught a lesson by your own man when you go back, right?
The man’s face was so humiliating for her!
Some people even suspected He Jiuniang With her identity and such good looks, is she the first wife of the original wife? Isn’t it some concubine who came to power? Or is Master Lu doting on his concubines and killing his wife?
