Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Yin Tao also realized that she was actually cold, so she quickened her pace and entered the front room.

This row of houses is built in the plum garden, and you can see the beautiful scenery when you open the windows.

The maid at the door saw the guests coming, and quickly opened the curtain to invite Yin Tao and others to enter, but only two maids were allowed to follow in and serve.

Yin Tao asked Cai Lv and Bai Zhi to follow in, Huai Jiao and Bai Shao went to the next side room, which was full of maids and women from various prefectures.

As soon as Yin Tao and Zhou Mei entered, they felt a sense of warmth rushing over them, and Yin Tao was very satisfied.

The hall is very long, and there are ladies and gentlemen sitting on both sides.

From the front, it can be seen that the status is more noble, and the further back, it can be seen that the official status of the family is lower.

Yin Tao thought to herself, if it wasn't for the face of the Lin family, a person like herself might not even have the right to enter this house.

Mrs. Lin sat in the second seat in front, and Yin Lan sat behind her in a separate small table.

Yin Tao found that the people in front were almost all wives from various prefectures, and their wives or daughters were behind them.

Yin Lan leaned over and spoke to Mrs. Lin in front, then stood up and walked towards Yin Tao.

Mrs. Lin was talking to the woman beside her, and when she heard this, she turned around and looked over.

Because of her actions, the rest of the wives all looked at Yin Tao.

Yin Tao took two steps towards her sister, Yin Lan first looked at Yin Tao worriedly, and was relieved when she saw that she looked good.

Then he looked unkindly at the two beauties behind him.

After seeing the faces of the two clearly, Yin Lan couldn't help squinting her eyes, and then pursed her lips, with anger in her eyes, Yin Tao hurriedly took her hand.

"Sister, I'll pay your respects to your mother-in-law first!" Yin Tao whispered in Yin Lan's ear, but shook her hands vigorously, reminding Yin Lan not to care.

Yin Lan endured it, and took Yin Tao to greet Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin stood up and introduced the ladies and wives to her.

These people were very curious about Yin Tao, but looking at Mrs. Lin, they hid the disdain in their eyes very well, and only said that the sisters are all good talents.

There were also some people who recognized Cailu and knew that Yin Tao was the most popular embroidery house owner in the capital. No matter how disdainful they were in their hearts, they still joked with a smile on their faces, asking if they could advance their embroidery work in line.

Yin Tao dealt with everyone generously and decently, and the atmosphere became harmonious for a while.

Mrs. Lin asked someone to press a small table for Yin Tao next to Yin Lan. Yin Tao sat down, and the two women she brought sat behind her, and they were very quiet.

Yin Tao sat down, and a jade white hand stretched out beside her and slapped Yin Tao's arm. Yin Tao turned her head and saw Lin Jinrui's cousin, Miss Wang.

She lowered her voice in surprise: "Sister Wang, you are here too. This is great. You don't know how apprehensive I was before I came. This is the first time I attend such a banquet. There are no people, it’s somewhat embarrassing!”

Ms. Wang was also very happy, she just liked Yin Tao's straightforward attitude, so she moved a little to the side and let Yin Tao sit beside her.

After Yin Tao moved over, she looked at the two women who were still there, and asked Yin Tao in a low voice: "Sister Yin, who is that?"

Yin Tao turned her head and glanced at them, Zhou Mei was looking at the nobles present, while Yao Xueer lowered her head slightly, sitting very upright, without moving a little.

Yin Tao turned her head and saw that many people in front of her were sizing up the two women, and then swept her face back and forth.

She looked embarrassed, and looked at Miss Wang with a bit of grievance, and said with a forced smile: "This is the concubine awarded to my husband by the Queen Mother. I think that the person awarded by the Queen Mother is naturally noble, so naturally I cannot be slighted. No, just bring them to the flower viewing feast."

Mrs. Lin turned around and glanced at the two beautiful women, feeling resentful in her heart.

She snorted coldly, and said to Yin Tao: "Second daughter-in-law Ye, I can be considered your elder, so I want to talk about you today."

Yin Tao immediately stood up in panic, as if she was being trained by a junior, and Yin Lan also stood up and bowed.

Miss Wang also stood up at a loss, and wanted to say something, but she saw her mother, Mrs. Wang winking, and she hurriedly shut up.

Mrs. Lin said: "Oh, it's also because you don't have an elder in your family to teach you, so you don't know how you can bring a concubine to appear on such an occasion?"

Yin Tao raised her eyes and blinked, then glanced around, as if she just realized, what mistake did she make?

Her face flushed a little, and the circles of her eyes slowly turned red, and she looked at Mrs. Lin and stammered her explanation: "This, this, the younger generation only thinks that this is a gift from the Queen Mother. It is unusual, and I don't know. I know, my father-in-law and mother-in-law went early."

She deliberately paused here, to let everyone think about how her parents-in-law left early, and then continued: "The younger generation is also a daughter of a small family who doesn't understand anything. When I got engaged to my husband, my husband still had nothing. Well, even the house we live in now was taken back from someone else before Kang Wang got married."

"So, please forgive the rudeness of the younger generation. If my mother-in-law is still alive, surely, such mistakes will not occur."

This remark aroused everyone's thoughts, who didn't know that the Ye family suffered an indiscriminate disaster, but they didn't care about their own affairs, and just sighed a few words after dinner.

But this Yin Tao actually spoke clearly in public.

She also mentioned that the Ye family's house was taken over by the Luo family, and the Luo family was the mother's family of the queen mother. Now, when the young couple just got married, they sent two beautiful women over.

Everyone whispered, and if they didn't understand, they asked those around them who knew.

Zhou Mei noticed that everyone looked at them with unkind eyes, and only then did she understand that Yin Tao didn't just bring them here for fun.

Seeing Yin Tao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Mrs. Lin seemed very afraid that others would see that she was crying.

She also sighed heavily: "Forget it, you are also young, how do you know these rules? Since Mrs. Zhong loves you like a granddaughter, please ask her to send someone to your house to help with housework!"

Mrs. Wang beside her asked, "Madam Zhong?"

Mrs. Lin pressed it with her hand, motioned Yin Tao and the others to sit down, turned around, saw that everyone was looking at her, she also smiled and said: "Yes, Mrs. Zhong likes this girl very much, the marriage of the second child of the Ye family It's Mrs. Zhong's matchmaker."

A lady on the opposite side said: "I remember, Mrs. Zhong came here the day Mrs. Ye Er's Embroidery House opened."

It seemed that everyone had gotten over the matter between Zhou Mei and the two of them, but Zhou Mei felt that there were always scrutinizing eyes scanning her. She had never been so angry in the Empress Dowager's Palace before.

No matter if they were wives or concubines in the palace, when they came to the Empress Dowager's palace, they were always polite, with low eyebrows and obedient eyes. No one had ever looked at them with such naked and contemptuous eyes.

With tears in her eyes, she stretched out her trembling hand to pull Yao Xueer. Yao Xueer kept her head lowered, but she moved her arm away calmly, letting Zhou Mei's hand fly away, making her even more angry, but here she didn't care at all. There was no way to vent, but he could only grit his teeth and suppress the crying.

Mrs. Lin suddenly turned her head and said, "Second daughter-in-law Ye, you can arrange for them to go to the side room next door, it's inappropriate for them to stay here."

Zhou Mei stood up abruptly, tears rolled down like pearls, she looked pitiful, but none of the wives in the room felt sorry for her, after all, everyone had different positions.

Yao Xueer also stood up in a hurry, saluted everyone and pulled Zhou Mei out.

Zhou Mei glared at everyone as she walked, but her last gaze fell on Yin Tao, as if she wanted to eat people.

Yin Tao covered her mouth in panic, covering her exclamation, Miss Wang stepped in front of her, and sternly reprimanded: "You, a concubine, dare to stare at your wife like this, where do you have the courage?"
