Chapter 195 I hate dark red the most
Yesterday, accompanied by Ruyi and Manju, she went to the Jiang residence and gave clothes, shoes and socks to Old Madam Jiang and First Madam Jiang. At this time, Ruyi and Zhenzhu were sitting beside them, dumbfounded.
Seeing Madam Han lowering her head, Madam Pei was furious. Why, are you trying to pressure me? Do you feel embarrassed as a grandmother to refuse her in person? It's been too long since you last showed off your skills, and you think I'm a sick cat.
She winked at Nanny Chen beside her, and Nanny Chen stepped forward, refilled Lin's cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Aunt, you may not be very clear about our old lady's habits. When she was young, our old lady liked red very much, but since she left the battlefield, she no longer likes this red.
Especially this dark red color, our old lady hates it the most, saying that it is like the color of the blood of dead comrades on the battlefield. Not only does she never wear it, she doesn't even want to see it. So, Miss Qingge has worked hard this time, why don't you take it back and keep it?"
Han Qingge's mother was startled. She thought she was rejected, but she didn't expect it was because of the color of the clothes. How should she respond? Should she say, "This color is festive? You are suitable for this color?" Or should she let the child choose another color to make a set for you?
Han Qingge's mother didn't know what to do for a moment, while Han Qingge was still kneeling on the ground, a little dazed. Madam Pei glanced at her, and seemed to stretch out her foot unintentionally, and happened to kick the tray of clothes, shoes and socks close to the ground, not far away, but just stopping in front of Lin. This behavior, which was not very harmful but extremely insulting, made Lin's face turn red all of a sudden.
Madam Pei smiled as if nothing had happened, "Han girl, you will be fifteen years old after the New Year, and you will be a 15-year-old in May, right?
You have been living in our mansion since you could not speak clearly. When you were a child, you followed Zhenzhu and called me grandmother, so I let it go. In addition, Madam Han passed away early, so I just thought that calling me grandmother was a thought.
However, you are older now, and will soon reach the age of marriage. We can't call you by random names anymore. If it gets out, people will laugh at you and it will make our two families look like we have no manners or upbringing.
Our mansion is a military family, so we don't care much about what others say. But your grandparents were serious civil officials, and they paid the most attention to etiquette and rules. If they knew that their eldest granddaughter casually called someone else's grandmother "grandmother" and made clothes, shoes and socks for other elders without any name or status, I think your grandparents' coffins would not be able to hold them down.
So, don't call me grandma anymore. Please call me Grandma Pei. You don't need to make clothes, shoes and socks for me. There are many granddaughters in my mansion. At the very least, there are many embroiderers in my mansion. You should just do what you should do and be an ordinary relative. "
After a pause, he looked at Madam Han below him and continued, "You also know that Jin'er's mother is weak and has never been a good head of the Marquis's house since she came into the family. I also pity her for her weak body. Both Mr. Han and Madam Han passed away early, so I have never blamed her for not taking on the responsibility of the Marquis's mistress. So, she will live a carefree life until she grows old.
Thanks to you for accompanying Jin'er's mother all these years, but I think Jin'er's mother has compensated you enough. As a person, you should be content and not dream of things that are not yours. My master has already lived under a tree once in his life, and he will never live under a lower branch of the same tree again. If our master knew, he would chop down the tree directly. "
Madam Pei's words were really merciless, and she trampled on the face of Han Qingge and her daughter. She also scolded Madam Han severely.
You, Han Qingge, call me grandma. I used to pity you because you were young and ignorant, but I won't do that now. You are making clothes and shoes for me without any title and status, which makes your grandparents lose face. Your aunt has never been able to be the head of the Marquis's house. She never was, and she will never be able to be in the future. No matter how much you try to please her, it will be useless.
You have been accompanying me and flattering me for these years, and you have already gained enough benefits. Don't be greedy. My Lord felt wronged when he married his son-in-law, and he will never wrong himself again by marrying you, a worse granddaughter-in-law.
Lin's face had been turning red and white. This last sentence was simply a direct and naked scolding of Han Qingge for being shameless. Two generations of girls in the Han family wanted to marry into the Marquis's family.
Han Qingge, kneeling on the ground, felt her head buzzing. She knew that her marriage proposal had been rejected by the ultimate ruler of the Marquis' Mansion, and the rejection was particularly direct, almost calling her a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
Rong Jin's aunt, who was sitting next to her, was also very embarrassed. Her original idea of asking Zhenzhu to marry her son was seen as wishful thinking and wishful thinking by the other party.
When Mrs. Pei scolded the Han family's eldest wife, she was also scolding herself. But what else could she say except pretending to be stupid? But today she wanted to ask Mrs. Pei to let her children go to the family school of the Marquis' Mansion. How could she ask for it now? She looked frustrated.
Madam Han, who was sitting at the bottom, was ashamed and angry. Madam Pei was belittling her in front of her sister-in-law. For the first time, she began to regret her choice. Her father was still thinking too far ahead. Marrying a military commander meant two outcomes: one was to become a widow, and the other was to become a living widow. Wasn't she a living widow now?
But today, it was my natal family's brothers who came. Could I just turn around and leave without paying attention? I couldn't. My mother-in-law had already given no respect to my two sisters-in-law. If I turned around and left, would my natal family come to my sister's house to celebrate the New Year and not even have a bite of food before being driven back home?
But what should I do? How can I make this happen?
Ruyi sighed softly. She and Zhenzhu had been together almost every day these days. She knew that Zhenzhu's marriage was ruined by her aunt-in-law. She also knew what Han Qingge had been thinking since she was a child. Today, her aunt-in-law was blatantly forcing her grandmother to accept Han Qingge as her granddaughter-in-law.
How could grandma agree? Even if grandma agreed, Mobei's grandfather and father would not agree. And Rong Jin himself didn't like cousin Qingge, so he would never agree to marry his cousin.
Although Ruyi also felt that her mother always considered things from the perspective of the Han family and never considered the Marquis' Mansion, she was a little disappointed.
