Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 7 Greetings (1)
This morning, Su Yue was still lying lazily on the bed as usual, with no intention of getting up. But at this moment, Taozi suddenly came in, gently opened the bed curtain, and said softly: "Miss, get up quickly, we have to go to pay respects to the Marquis later!" Hearing this, Su Yue just turned over, without any intention of getting up. She was still covered with the quilt, mumbling and asked: "What are you paying respects to?" Taozi smiled helplessly, and continued to explain patiently: "Today is the first day of the new year. According to the rules, we need to go to Zhichunyuan to pay respects to the Marquis!"
Su Yue had been living a life of having everything provided for her for the past half month. She seemed to have forgotten the pain of getting up early to go to work in modern times. This was really unexpected! Even after traveling to this time and space, she still couldn't escape the fate of getting up early. With Taozi's help, she took her time to get dressed, enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, and then walked towards Zhichunyuan without any hurry.
This was the first time that Su Yue had stepped into Zhichun Courtyard after traveling to this time and space! And this was also the first time she met the ladies and ladies in the Marquis' Mansion. During her convalescence, she had been closing the door to visitors and refused any visit. In fact, there was a reason for this - she really didn't know how to face the people in the Marquis' Mansion, and she was even more worried that she would reveal her flaws and be discovered by them. As for the so-called "cheap husband", the two had only met twice. However, she didn't know whether he had found out the progress of the investigation into her falling into the water, and there was no reply.
When Su Yue came, the Marquis's wife was sitting in the main seat. A young woman was serving tea to the Marquis's wife. When she saw Su Yue coming in, she smiled at her as a greeting and continued to make tea. The Marquis's wife looked Su Yue up and down, with a hint of barely perceptible disdain in her eyes.
It was the first time Su Yue met the Marquis’ wife. Su Yue stepped forward and bowed slightly, “Su Yue greets Madam.”
Madam Hou responded calmly, "Get up."
Su Yue stood up straight, looking at her nose and her heart, standing aside silently.
The Marquis's wife took a sip from the teacup and slowly said, "You have been ill for so many days. Are you feeling better now?"
"I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, madam." Su Yue replied with her head down.
The Marquis's wife said nothing more, and asked the young woman next to her to pour her a cup of tea, which she sipped slowly.
Since the ceremony was over and An had asked, Su Yue found a seat below and sat down, quietly watching the Marquis sipping tea. At this time, she glanced at Taozi standing beside her and raised her eyebrows at the other party.
After half a month of getting along, the master and servant had already developed a tacit understanding that did not require words. Taozi understood and leaned over to Su Yue's ear and whispered, "That is the eldest young lady."
Su Yue nodded in sudden enlightenment, indicating that she understood. In fact, during this period of time, through various channels and what she had heard and seen, she had a general understanding of the situation in the Marquis' Mansion.
This eldest young lady was the legitimate daughter of the famous Wang family of Langya. She could be said to be a real aristocratic daughter. From a very young age, she was trained and educated strictly according to the standards of a royal wife. Such a woman would probably be no less capable than a prince's consort.
Su Yue secretly sighed, this old Duke is indeed very insightful and far-sighted! I guess the fact that the Marquis's Mansion was able to get away safely from that major corruption case, in addition to paying a huge fine, must also be inseparable from the support of the Wang family behind it.
Su Yue was thinking about something in her heart, and at this moment, Wang filled the Marquis's teacup again, then walked to the seat above Su Yue and sat down.
At this moment, two young women with beautiful faces, as beautiful as flowers, walked in. They walked gracefully, like flowers blooming in spring, exuding charming fragrance. One of them was wearing a pink dress, the skirt fluttering in the wind, like a dancing fairy; the other was wearing a light and fresh green dress, giving people a fresh and refined feeling.
Su Yue tilted her head to look at Tao Zi curiously, with a puzzled look in her eyes. Tao Zi seemed to notice her gaze, and quickly lowered her head, leaned close to Su Yue's ear, and whispered in a low voice: "Those are the Seventh and Eighth Girls." Her voice
Hearing this, Su Yue immediately understood. It turned out that the lively and lovely girl with a smiling face sitting directly next to the Marquis's wife was the Marquis's youngest daughter, the Seventh Miss Qin Jiaojiao; and the one with elegant manners and courteous manners, who first bowed to the Marquis's wife and then bowed to Su Yue and the eldest young lady, was the Eighth Miss Qin Ting, born to Concubine Qiu.
Two lovely girls, one is in her prime, 12 years old; the other is a little younger, 11 years old. They both have innocent smiles and big, bright eyes, like two shining stars. Although they are not born of the same mother, they still look like sisters, full of youthful energy.
After the two girls came, the Marquis's wife and the eldest young lady were chatting happily, and no one noticed Su Yue at the side. At this moment, Su Yue was secretly wondering whether to find an excuse like feeling unwell to leave first. Just as she was hesitating, a hearty laugh suddenly came: "Sister-in-law, it's really lively here! Unlike my Lingchun Courtyard, it's so cold and deserted, there's not even a talkative person." Before the voice fell, a lady in a red dress walked in.
Su Yue couldn't help but look at Taozi again, and the latter immediately leaned down and said to her in a low voice: "This is the second wife of the second room."
Su Yue looked at the smiling Second Madam sitting here, and felt that the Second Madam would not come to the palace for no reason. Then she looked at the Marquis's wife, who was extremely cold to the Second Madam, and almost had the word "dislike" written on her face. Back then, the Marquis's wife could have become the Duke's wife, but because of the high-minded Second Master, she was downgraded to the Marquis's wife. Who would be happy to see them?
Moreover, the second wife was just a concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Weiguo Mansion. Even if she was registered under the name of her mother, who would not know that it was just a status forcibly raised in order to marry into the Marquis of Anning Mansion? She grew up with her aunt since she was a child, and she had no vision at all. Who would like her like this?
Moreover, the current Weiguo Marquis Mansion is no longer the same as it used to be. It is no longer the prominent Weiguo Marquis Mansion of the past. The emperor despises them to the extreme. Whenever there is a party dispute, their family is bound to be the losing party. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, all the second branches of the Cheng family were exiled; during the reign of Emperor Cheng, all the direct descendants of the Cheng family were executed. The current Weiguo Marquis is just a concubine's son, and he turned against his father during the mutiny. It was because Queen Cheng used a royal secret in exchange that he was able to save his life and title. Today, the Weiguo Marquis only has an empty title and holds some insignificant and idle positions. What's more, the dirty deeds of that family are simply embarrassing to talk about.
