Chapter 759: Talking nonsense
Huang Jingshan humiliated Mrs. Qin as soon as she opened her mouth.
Not to mention that the two men have different positions, just looking at the two of them, Huang Jingshan and Mrs. Qin are not the same kind of people at all.
No one knew what Mrs. Qin was thinking. She knew that they were not on the same wavelength, but she still asked Huang Jingshan about it.
She was certain that Huang Jingshan was younger than her, had a tender skin, and had a cold temperament. She would not bother to answer or change the subject after hearing about this topic. Then she would take the opportunity to "confirm" that there was an affair between Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general.
Mrs. Qin looked very unhappy.
As soon as Huang Jingshan opened her mouth, her face, as cold as hers, made her teeth ache.
"What do you want to know, Madam Qin? I've only heard that the mighty general fought everywhere and made great contributions to Dasheng, but I don't know what Qingmei is. It's ridiculous that you slandered Aunt Tong and the mighty general just because you are both from Ningcheng." Huang Jingshan's tone became colder and colder.
Madam Qin was embarrassed by Huang Jingshan's retort and said, "It was just a joke, Madam Lu, why should you take it seriously?"
Huang Jingshan said, "Mrs. Qin knows very well whether it is a joke or not. What kind of joke is it about the love between a man and a woman? If Mrs. Qin wants to know who the mighty general's childhood sweetheart is, it is better to call the mighty general over and ask him, rather than making up stories in private."
"Madam Qin, you must know better than me that the mouth can cause trouble. If the false rumors about Aunt Tong spread from today, you can expect the consequences. The last Princess Mingyue who offended Aunt Tong is still in Longhua Temple. Could it be that Madam Qin is more respectable than Princess Mingyue?"
Mrs. Qin was speechless and regretted making up stories about Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general. Tong Huaqiong was exactly the same as Old Lady Min, and it would be no good to offend her. But she felt embarrassed to be scolded by Huang Jingshan in public, and wanted to stand up and leave in anger, but the grandson hadn't left yet, so she didn't dare to leave first.
Huang Jingshan felt indescribably relieved after making Mrs. Qin suffer a setback.
She didn't think that Aunt Tong was inferior because she and the mighty general had a past relationship. She just didn't like Mrs. Qin using this matter to stir up trouble and secretly frame the two of them.
The confrontation between Huang Jingshan and Mrs. Qin naturally fell into the ears of others.
No one dared to speculate whether Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general had a childhood sweetheart relationship.
At this time, Zhao laughed dryly and said to Mrs. Huang who was sitting next to her, "At first, my mother-in-law asked me to come to Shengjing to see my daughter. I said, what kind of place is Shengjing? Is it a place where only nobles live? I am a country woman with rude manners and vulgar words. I like to hang out with people and gossip about other people's affairs. If I go there, I will be laughed at. After I came here, I found that the people in Shengjing are no different from those in our village."
"We both love gossiping and we both like to get together and laugh when we have nothing to do."
Old Madam Huang smiled and agreed, "Everyone eats the same grains, so who is nobler than who? The people of Shengjing are just like us, gossiping about other people's private affairs. The only difference is that we talk about whose dog chased whose chicken or whose child stole whose melon. They talk about whose son married whose daughter, and whose son writes the best essays."
This speech made many people laugh.
The third wife of Duke Ningguo and Madam Qin felt uncomfortable with the implications of the two old ladies.
Who says that old ladies in the country are simple? They don't use any dirty words when they scold people, but they can still make people speechless.
Isn't it obvious that the two of them are gossiping?
But they couldn't get angry with the two old ladies. After all, they didn't mention any names.
So the topic of Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general was revealed.
Just as Mrs. Zhao and Old Lady Huang said, people in Shengjing also like to talk about family matters when they get together.
Soon, everyone started discussing the marriage between Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin.
"I think the daughter of Suifeng Xiangjun is a good one, pretty and capable, no worse than our Shengjing girls."
"Normally, when the eldest son of the Su family gets engaged, Lord Su and his wife should be in charge of the event. But why is it that my grandmother and uncle are the ones who are in charge? If you don't know, you might think that Su Chengmin is a child of the Min family."
"Last time Lord Su asked the Emperor to grant Su Chengmin a marriage, Su Chengmin refused on the spot. As a father, he was embarrassed and did not even attend the engagement ceremony."
"It's not that he won't participate, it's that the Min family didn't notify him at all."
......
Everyone saw that Su Shihang and Lu did not show up at the engagement ceremony from beginning to end, and they discussed it in a low voice.
"So what if the Su family doesn't come? Su Chengmin has a mighty general as his backer, who is much better than his biased father. Besides, when it comes to who gets face in front of the emperor, Su Chengmin is more favored by the emperor than his father. He is the leader of the imperial guards at a young age. With such a great ability, he naturally doesn't need to consider his father's thoughts. Su Shihang asked the emperor for a marriage with bad intentions. If he really cared about his son, he shouldn't ask the emperor for a daughter of a noble family, but instead asked the emperor for a girl from the country family, Lu. It's because he is afraid that Su Chengmin will have a strong backer in the future and he won't be able to hold on to him. He wants to get Su Chengmin in his hands first." The speaker was Lady Yao, the mother of Lord Yao.
Tong Huaqiong heard this.
Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but look at Mrs. Yao twice more.
Madam Yao was not a good mother-in-law to Lian Hengruo, but she was fair in what she said.
Everyone in Shengjing knew that Su Chengmin was raised by the Min family, but no one expected that the Su family would not attend when Su Chengmin was engaged.
Su Chengmin's actions clearly indicated his intention to sever the relationship between the father and son in the Su family.
Every cause has its effect. Some people think that the Su family was not kind to Su Chengmin, which led to the consequences today.
Some people also think that Su Shihang is Su Chengmin's father after all, and a son should not treat his father like this.
No matter what everyone discussed, the marriage between Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin was settled without the Su family's involvement.
Su Shihang had no choice but to admit it, after all, this marriage was decided under the witness of the "Crown Grandson".
The Crown Prince represents the face of the royal family, and he cannot object even if Su Shihang is Su Chengmin's biological father.
Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua signed an engagement letter and decided to get married in the spring of next year.
In the evening, the emperor sent someone from the palace to pick up the grandson.
The Crown Prince reluctantly said goodbye to Tong Huaqiong and others.
Everyone respectfully escorted the Crown Prince back to the palace.
After the Crown Prince left, the guests dispersed one after another.
After the guests had left, Princess Yu sent someone to deliver gifts.
Tong Huaqiong opened the box and saw the emerald lying in the box like a pool of clear water.
It’s worth a fortune just by looking at it.
Tong Huaqiong also couldn't understand why Prince Yu's Mansion sent an engagement gift when they had clearly become enemies with Tong Huaqiong? And why didn't they send it earlier or later, but waited until the engagement banquet was over before sending it.
Tong Huaqiong couldn't guess the thoughts of these Shengjing upper class people, so she didn't bother to guess.
Princess Yu gave Gu Taohua an engagement gift purely for the Crown Prince's sake.
Last time outside the palace, Princess Yu learned from Tong Huaqiong that Princess Mingyue was so angry that she surrounded Gu Jingzhe.
I thought Princess Mingyue was just trying to have something new, but I didn't expect her to ask Prince Yu and Princess Yu to take Gu Jingzhe as her princess consort.
Even though she knew that Gu Jingzhe was married, she didn't care.
Prince Yu was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. Princess Yu tried to make excuses for Princess Mingyue, saying that it was Gu Jingzhe who deliberately seduced her and that his daughter was too naive to be fooled.
Princess Mingyue denied Princess Yu's statement on the spot, saying that Gu Jingzhe, who came from the countryside, could not see the benefits of being a county horse with the support of Prince Yu's Mansion. She asked her father and mother to persuade Gu Jingzhe to divorce his wife and marry her.
Princess Yu wanted to open Princess Mingyue's brain to see how much water had entered it.
Because of this incident, Prince Yu and Princess Yu sent Princess Mingyue to Longhua Temple that night.
Princess Yu gave Gu Taohua an engagement gift and reminded Tong Huaqiong that County Master Mingyue had left Longhua Temple. This was a warning to Tong Huaqiong to take good care of her son.
