To be able to become the eldest daughter-in-law of Ding General Manor meant that she was extremely outstanding. In addition, she had been training in the backyard of Ding General Manor for nearly ten years and assisted her mother-in-law in managing the household. Her skills and ability were better than most of the elders. Her pair of sharp eyes could be called fiery eyes. She only needed to see the nature of ordinary girls once or twice to know most of them. The number of times Luo Jingying came to Ding General Manor could be counted on one's fingers. She had seen her once, but that was the only time she said a few words. Like most girls, she was impetuous, greedy, and vainly tried to climb up the social ladder. Her inner ability was far inferior to her talent and appearance.
Although the Luo Family was not a particularly important family, they could not be ignored. If it were not for the fact that her mother-in-law was unable to leave, her mother-in-law would have come to greet her in person. Among the granddaughters of the Luo Family, the only one who could catch the eye of this noblewoman was the eldest daughter who had already married. But today, she was a little surprised. She glanced at Jingwan without a trace and then looked at Madame Luo. Madame Luo's bearing was noble and graceful. Her eyes were still bright and spirited, without the slightest trace of turbidity. She was full of energy, Qi, and spirit. It did not seem like she had been recuperating and had not come to the capital.
Should she say that she was worthy of being the granddaughter that she had personally taught?
Yesterday, she heard that this person had come to the capital. She also heard some surprising words from Madame Luo. She said that if Luo Jingying had not chosen to marry at that time, the Madame in the backyard of Ding General Manor would have been Luo Jingying. Thinking about it, it was amazing.
Madame Luo's choice that year surprised many people. On one side, she was a Tanhua scholar and her family was considered noble. She even had a cabinet minister, but that was in the previous dynasty. When Luo Peishan came to the capital, the Luo Family basically had no foundation in the capital. On the other side, she was the Heir Apparent of Ding General Manor. If it was an ordinary person, they would have chosen without thinking about it. At that time, who knew how many people secretly scolded her for having water in her brain?
However, anyone who knew about the situation at that time would probably not think that the Chen Clan's choice was wrong. Yes, in their opinion, that was the Chen Clan's choice, not his own choice.
Speaking of the old madame of Ding General Manor, ever since the death of the old duke a few years ago, she had lived in seclusion and rarely met with outsiders. Even today, there were only a few people who could see her. If they were not wang fei and junwang fei of noble status, then it was the old madame who had a good relationship with her. But Old Madame Luo, a complete stranger in the eyes of many people, received the same treatment as them. Those who saw her were all guessing which family she was from to have such an honor. They were also thinking about how to interact with her in the future.
Old Madam Luo was also very surprised that Old Madam Sun wanted to see her. If she saw them like this, they would probably become the target of public criticism. People might even mistakenly think that the Sun family wanted to rope in the Luo family. To the Luo family, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
But Old Madam Luo did not panic at all. Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. In the battle for the heir position, there were a few times when it went smoothly without bloodshed. It would be very difficult for the Luo family to completely stay out of it.
When she learned that they were going to see Old Madam Sun, Wang shi's heart tightened. She more or less understood the present situation. Although she did not think as thoroughly as Old Madam Luo, she knew that this meeting could affect the Luo family.
Luo Jingying, on the other hand, was nervous and excited. She had never met the Old Madam of the Sun family, but who didn't know her respected status in the Sun family? If she could catch her eye, she might be able to marry into Ding General Duke's Mansion!
What Old Madam Luo could think of, Jingwan could think of as well. However, her thoughts were the same as Old Madam Luo's. When she could not avoid it, she would face it head-on. She did not think too much and even had the leisure to enjoy the scenery along the way. The pavilions, the Winding Stream of Flowing Goblets, and the scenery in ten steps was probably just like that. The Sun family was really full of flowers.
There were not many people here with Old Madam Sun. There were only her two old sisters and the few juniors they brought. Those wangfei and junwang fei had already left. The person they really wanted to interact with was Duchess Ding. This old madam's health was not very good, so it was enough to be polite.
In terms of status, Old Madam Luo naturally had to bow.
"Quickly, rise." Old Madam Sun hurriedly called for someone to help Old Madam Luo up.
Old Madam Luo did not feel anything. She had some friendship with Old Madam Sun when they were young, although it was not very deep.
Old Madam Sun was not so calm, especially when she saw that Old Madam Luo's face was much younger than hers. Old Madam Luo was clearly older than her. It was not that she was jealous, but she felt a lot of emotions.
They talked about the old days, and the scene was even harmonious. It seemed that their friendship was better than when they were young.
Jingwan saw that Old Madam Sun wanted to say something several times but stopped. It seemed that she had something difficult to say. In the end, she could not help but speak. "Back then, was it really your choice, or was it Elder Chen's idea?" She did not care about the presence of the two old sisters, which showed that they were really close. As for the juniors, they did not know what she was asking, so they naturally did not care.
Old Madam Luo was slightly startled. She did not expect Old Madam Sun to ask this. It seemed that she was quite persistent. She was already so old, so there was nothing she couldn't say. She smiled and said, "Naturally, I chose him myself." Back then, the heir of Duke Ding was very handsome and talented, but she didn't like him. Luo Peishan's family background was far inferior, but she liked him. Her family wanted her to marry down. In addition to the love of the elders and Luo Peishan's talent, the situation at that time was also one of the factors. However, it was not the main reason for her to marry down. Even if there was no Luo Peishan, it would be someone else. She would never marry the Heir of Duke Ding at that time.
"You are a courageous person." Old Madam Sun said.
Duke Ding's Mansion, how respected was the status? How many people could refuse that honor? Everyone said that she was lucky. Her family background was not the best, and she was not the most outstanding person. She was not even a candidate, but in the end, she got a big bargain.
Was it really a bargain? Who knew what it was like to be a mother after marrying into the family? Who knew what it was like to be married for less than three months and her husband took back his sweetheart? Her concubine jumped around and schemed. Her eldest son almost died. She struggled as if she was in a quagmire. She became ruthless and unscrupulous. Her husband took in new favor one after another. In terms of virtuousness, who could compare with her? The sons of concubines came one after another. She raised them well. Even if she won in the end, her husband died, her son became the Duke, and she became the most distinguished person in the backyard, so what?
After entering Duke Ding's Mansion, she had never been truly happy for a day.
Luo Peishan only had one concubine's son, and he did not like him. Old Madam Luo had not been by his side for many years, and he did not pamper her. Everyone knew that the Luo family was strict, and Luo Peishan respected his wife.
That was a blessing!
Old Madam Luo was well aware of it, but she smiled and said nothing.
"All the girls in your family are good-looking." Old Madam Sun carefully looked at Jingwan and her two sisters.
Jingwan did not want to deal with these shrewd old madams. She bowed her head in a timely manner to show her shyness. Luo Jingying, on the other hand, seemed to feel that she finally had a chance. She faced Old Madam Sun with a sweet smile. "Old Madam Sun, you flatter me. Who in the capital doesn't say that Sister Sun is the best?"
Duke Ding had seven or eight brothers, but Old Madam Sun only had two sons. Sun Yijia was her only legitimate granddaughter. Sun Yijia was good-looking and smart, so she was naturally very fond of her. She was naturally happy to be praised, even if the person's thoughts were obvious. She smiled kindly and said a few words to Luo Jingying. However, when she saw that Old Madam Luo did not ask anything, she knew that this girl was actually not liked by her. If she really cared about her, how could she be so indulgent? No matter how good her own children were, they would be modest and praise other people's children. This was normal.
Old Madam Sun's eyes paused on Jingwan for a while, and she also asked a few simple questions. She was less than Luo Jingying, and then Luo Jingyou. "I think it's better to ask them to go play. It's boring to accompany us old women here."
Old Madam Luo knew that she had to stay to talk about this matter. She might have seen her before because of some persistence, but now she probably had a deeper meaning. She echoed Old Madam Sun's words.
Jingwan and the others, including Madam Wang, bowed and left.
