The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

When the first lady Zhao Chunlei saw that the general had returned home and did not go to Lou Yunsi's villa, she felt it was a little strange and was struggling internally as to whether or not she should win over the sixth lady.

Now the most arrogant Second Madam Ma Xiahe in the mansion relies on the fact that she gave birth to a boy and looks down on others. If the Sixth Madam also gains favor in the future, when her daughter gets married, she will be left alone in her old age and have even less status.

So he found the maid Xiaolan and discussed the matter with her.

The eldest lady Zhao Chunlei expressed her difficulties on how to show favor to the sixth lady Lou Yunsi. As the eldest lady of the Fan family, she could not lower herself to express her intentions directly to her. If she fell out of favor in the future, she would be implicated given their relationship.

Seeing that the lady was in a dilemma, Xiao Lan said, "Madam, why don't you hold a flower-viewing meeting for the ladies in the mansion and invite the other five ladies in the mansion to come to our villa to appreciate the flowers. Under the pretext of flower-viewing, first find out about the Sixth Lady's true situation and take this opportunity to appropriately express your goodwill!"

Zhao Chunlei thought: This method seems to be quite good. It does not require me to lower my status. I can go to her house without worrying about what others will say. It is open and aboveboard.

The maid Xiao Lan looked at the lady thoughtfully and continued, "Let her remember your kindness. If she becomes favored in the future, we can still build a relationship with her. If she falls out of favor, we will not suffer any loss and will not be implicated!"

Madam Zhao Chunlei thought this method was feasible and said, "Yes, yes, yes, please invite her over first!"

So he asked people to arrange the flower-viewing party, and asked the maid Xiao Lan to pass messages to the ladies in the Fan family, inviting them to come and enjoy the flowers.

Ma Xiahe, the second wife, heard the message from her maid Xiaolan and thought to herself, "What is this woman up to again? She always thinks she is the boss and orders us to attend some meetings. If she hadn't married earlier than me, the title of the first wife would have been mine!"

The maid Xiao Lan came to the Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi's courtyard and greeted her enthusiastically: "Greetings, Sixth Madam, our eldest lady is going to hold a flower viewing event in the courtyard today, and you must come to the venue when the time comes!"

The maid Xiao Lan thought that this was someone the First Lady would most likely try to win over in the future, so she had to be polite to her. So she was more enthusiastic than when she went to see other ladies, in order to leave a good impression on the Sixth Lady.

Seeing how enthusiastic the maid was, Lou Yunsi thought: This girl is quite enthusiastic, could she be planning some kind of Hongmen Banquet? Usually, excessive enthusiasm must be a sign of evil!

Lou Yunsi still smiled and said, "Okay, please tell my sister that I will be there on time!"

A few days later, it was time for the flower-viewing party. All the ladies came to the villa of the first lady Zhao Chunlei in plain clothes. Only the second lady Ma Xiahe was dressed gorgeously and wore gorgeous jewelry. When Lou Yunsi saw this, she knew there was something fishy.

Lou Yunsi thought: Isn't this the behavior of being favored in palace dramas? When you are favored, you don't care about other people. It seems that there will be something interesting to watch at the flower viewing meeting today!

Lou Yunsi was walking behind the second wife Ma Xiahe, originally wanting to watch the show, but unexpectedly, the first wife Zhao Chunlei suddenly stepped forward, bypassed the second wife Ma Xiahe, walked to Lou Yunsi, enthusiastically shook Lou Yunsi's hand and said, "Sister Sisi, you are here! Come and sit down! Other sisters, please sit down too!"

Why did the atmosphere feel a little awkward? Second Madam Ma Xiahe turned around and glared at Lou Yunsi and First Madam Zhao Chunlei.

Madam Zhao Chunlei had the snacks brought up, and she still warmly entertained Lou Yunsi first and said, "Sister Sisi, I heard that you like sweet food, so I had someone put more honey in it to beautify your skin. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Second Madam Ma Xiahe saw the attitude of First Madam Zhao Chunlei and knew that she was clearly trying to win over Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi. She thought: So this is the idea. If we can win over Sixth Madam, she will be favored in the future and her heart will be with her. What a nice thought!

Upon seeing this, Second Madam Ma Xiahe immediately said to Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi, "Sister Sisi, don't eat such sweet things. I gave birth to a son because I ate light food. If you want to have a son, you should ask me for advice!" After saying that, Second Madam Ma Xiahe laughed.

The whole room was filled with the smell of gunpowder and awkwardness. Lou Yunsi thought: I am the most embarrassed one. I knew that the eldest lady's daughter said this on purpose. In ancient times, not only were the women in the harems and courtyards sharp, but the fights in the mansions could also be heartbreaking!

Madam Zhao Chunlei's facial expression management was excellent, and there was no sign of anger on her face. However, looking at her hands, she could see that her silk scarf was tightly clenched.

At this time, we need to take out the sticky note rules. Article N of the sticky note rules: When faced with the work content assigned by the leader, you must resolutely obey, and obey nothing but obey! You must respond immediately. Delayed response is easy to offend the leader, so find a way to deal with it after the response!

Lou Yunsi picked up a piece and put it in her mouth and said, "It's quite delicious, but I'm also afraid that if I eat too much sugar, my teeth will hurt, so I usually only eat a little. Sisters, you can try some too!"

So, all the ladies also tasted it. The first lady Zhao Chunlei smiled with satisfaction, and the second lady Ma Xiahe didn't know what to say.

Madam Zhao Chunlei asked the servants to bring in two pots of flowers, one of which was a thorny rose and the other was a lush wild chrysanthemum.

Madam Zhao Chunlei pointed to the thorny rose and said, "Although this flower is beautiful, it has thorns. If you are not careful, you will get hurt and wither quickly. This pot of wild chrysanthemum is different. Although it looks ordinary, it can grow luxuriantly no matter where it is and is easy to keep alive!"

It's amazing, the first lady speaks in a very different way, why do I feel that the thorny rose is referring to the second lady Ma Xiahe, and the wild chrysanthemum is me, how did I become the wild chrysanthemum? This one sentence directly hits the heart of two people, it's a typical example of courtyard fighting, awesome!

Madam Ma Xiahe took a sip of tea and said, "Sister, although wild chrysanthemums are easy to grow, they are a little humble and inconspicuous. Although thorny roses wither quickly, they were once dazzling! Maybe they will have a chance to bloom again!"

Only by watching these courtyard fights on the spot can you experience the "sword-like" moments in person. The battle between masters is really exciting. Lou Yunsi thought to herself: Don't offend these people, otherwise you will be in big trouble!

Madam Ma Xiahe continued, "Sister is really thoughtful. She knows that girls like flowers, so she specially held a banquet to appreciate the flowers. My son doesn't like those flowers and plants, saying that they are only liked by girls. He likes martial arts and archery at a young age. Boys take after their fathers, haha!"

As soon as Second Madam Ma Xiahe used her secret weapon, everyone fell silent. The First Madam gave birth to a daughter, and the other madams had no children, so it was inconvenient for them to respond. It turned out that those who gave birth to sons were always showing off. If she started a competition to brag about her sons, she would probably brag for three days and three nights, and even blow up a spaceship!

Madam Zhao Chunlei was about to flip the table over. She held the table tightly, but then loosened her grip and said, "If Sister Sisi gives birth to a son, she can play with him and doesn't have to come over to admire the flowers!"

What a great sentence "giving birth to a son"! This sentence is so heartbreaking that it can kill people. Look at the second wife Ma Xiahe's face, it looks gloomy.

I like watching them fighting among themselves, but I am also afraid of getting "burned". It feels like a 5D hail of bullets.

At times like this, we have to bring out Rule No. N of the Post-it Girls' Guidelines. When the conversation becomes awkward and cannot proceed or the topic is a bottomless pit, we must find a way to quickly withdraw from the topic, start a new one, and divert everyone's attention.

Seeing such an awkward situation, Lou Yunsi quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's still early for me, and the general hasn't come to my villa yet, so he might have forgotten me. Haha, I'm really happy to enjoy the flowers with my sisters today. I see that the patterns and colors of the clothes they are wearing match the theme of today very well. Embroidery is so special, I want to learn it too!"

Sure enough, when talking about girls' embroidery, everyone started discussing their own clothes and the interesting things that happened during embroidery, and finally got through the awkward time of the house fight.
