The young couple from the farm fights back

150. Concubine Da of the Zhang Family

No matter how much Liang felt annoyed with Da, she still had to save face. After all, she was the one who brought the person here, and she couldn't lose her dignity as the eldest lady in front of outsiders.

"I forgot to introduce myself to you, Lady Li. Mrs. Da is also a member of the household."

Jiang Li understood what she heard. At first, she thought the other party was Liang's sister-in-law or something. She looked down on her with arrogance, and she didn't expect that she was a concubine.

Which concubine dares to sit in front of the main wife? It is too ignorant of etiquette in the backyard of Deputy General Cheng's house.

Looking at Da's attire again, she indeed looked like a charming concubine.

The rouge-colored soft cotton skirt, tightly tied at the waist, showed off her extremely charming figure. Her hair was tied up in a bun, with two strands of black hair falling at the corners of her temples, giving her a slightly seductive look. The gold-threaded pearl hairpin on her head was like a touch of ink, highlighting her elegant and refined charm.

Let's look at Liang again. She is wearing a graceful dark green stand-up collar gown with camellia-style embroidery on the edges. Her gentle and decent appearance highlights the temperament of the mistress of the house. There are only two inconspicuous silver jade hairpins on her bun.

At this time, the city of Yanzhou was being rebuilt, and the material environment was not as good as before. There were starving people everywhere inside and outside the city, and refugees were rampant.

As a concubine of a general defending the city, she should be like Liang, as calm and low-key as possible, so that the people will see her as respectable. She won't let the people entering the city get jealous and drag down her husband's reputation outside.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Da stood up, glanced at Jiang Li lightly, and saluted casually: "My humble lady, Mrs. Da, is honored to meet you."

After saying that, he sat down disapprovingly.

Liang regretted bringing Da with her extremely, as it was a disgrace to the Cheng family.

He quickly hid the embarrassment in his eyes and smiled at Jiang Li, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my lady."

Jiang Li curled her lips slightly. After all, it was someone else's family affair, so she didn't want to interrupt. "No problem, Madam Liang, please take a seat."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he took the initiative to shake Liang's hand and sat down on the chair on the other side.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't look unhappy, Liang suppressed her uneasiness a little. Then she thought of something and quickly motioned the children to come forward.

"Hurry up and meet Lady Li."

Seeing this, Mrs. Da felt disgusted, but she had no choice but to push her own children over so that Liang's children would not get the upper hand.

Cheng Jin, the seven-year-old legitimate son of the Liang family, bowed with both hands in a formal manner: "Brother Jin, I greet Lady Li."

The five-year-old legitimate daughter, Sister Yi, bowed obediently and said, "Greetings, Lady Li."

Cheng Kang, the eldest son of the Da family, led his six-year-old sister Hua Jie'er to the front. The brother and sister squeezed through Cheng Jin and Cheng Yi to greet each other: "Greetings, Lady Li."

After comparison, the difference is immediately apparent.

Da's children are very courageous, which shows that they are raised by Da himself, and all of Da's temperament is instilled into their minds.

Brothers and sisters from the same family should take care of each other, regardless of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Seeing this, Liang clenched her handkerchief under her sleeve and glanced at Da sharply.

Mrs. Da turned her face away unmoved, not showing any respect for herself as a proper lady, and her attitude was extremely perverse.

Jiang Li didn't show it on his face, and praised with a faint smile: "They are all good children."

And his hand was already gently placed on the back of Liang's hand, silently comforting her.

It seems that Liang had suffered a lot of bullying from the concubines in the Cheng family. What happened?

Jiang Li's action made Liang's heart tremble, and it seemed as if a warm current surged through her heart.

At this time, Yuan Niang led several daughters-in-law from the kitchen forward, carefully placed the teacups on the tea tables next to each person, and then placed the snacks on the red pearwood table in front.

"Madam, hot tea and snacks are ready."

"Okay, if Sister Lan wakes up, have Fang bring her over for Madam Liang to take a look."

"Yes."

He then gestured to the children and said, "There are some snacks on the table. I don't know if they suit your taste. Go over and try them first."

Cheng Jin led his sister Cheng Yi and nodded politely: "Yes."

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the other two children had already walked towards the round table.

Seeing this scene, Liang felt even more ashamed. If any of the children in the mansion, whether legitimate or illegitimate, lost face in front of outsiders, it would be the fault of her, the mistress of the house.

"The child is tough, I am sorry to make you laugh."

Jiang Li smiled and patted the back of her hand: "The child is still young, we adults don't need to be cautious."

Jiang Li's words made Liang feel even more ashamed. She changed the subject, looked around the yard, and asked, "My master said that my wife's family also has several brothers. Perhaps they have enrolled in school?"

"Exactly. I'm busy on weekdays and can't take care of much, so I send the kids to school early to prevent them from becoming lazy from playing."

"My lady is indeed different from ordinary women like me. She is a lady with serious ideas."

"I thought it was Madam Liang praising me."

Under Jiang Li's leadership, the originally subtle atmosphere quickly dissipated.

Da, who was standing opposite, still didn't care, which showed that she didn't want to have too much contact and close friendship with Jiang Li.

Da thought to herself, if Liang came here to see a peasant woman, she would not beg the master to let her go.

"Mother." Anger, dressed in black brocade clothes, twisted his little body and trotted in from outside.

Everyone looked around.

Jiang Li waved to the child with a smile on her face: "Brother An, come and meet Madam Liang."

Little Ange came back from the medical school when he learned that his mother had returned home.

The little guy was used to attending classes with a group of older girls at the medical school. Even if Jiang Li didn't have time to attend class, An Ge'er would run to the school and stay there for the afternoon.

Ang'er blinked curiously at first, and his ignorant look was so adorable.

"Brother An, I've met Madam Liang."

Jiang Li smiled with satisfaction, but he didn't forget the Da family across from him: "And Miss Da!"

An Ge'er turned around and glanced at Mrs. Da across from him. For some reason, he didn't like this woman, but he still called her politely, "Little Lady Da."

Mrs. Da symbolically raised a fake smile, but soon her face drooped, obviously not liking outsiders calling her "little girl".

Liang didn't bother to pay attention to Da and took An Ge'er's hand: "This child is really smart and funny."

After Liang finished speaking, she quickly turned around and beckoned her son over: "Brother Jin, come here and meet little brother."

Cheng Jin stepped forward obediently, feeling a little reserved.

In comparison, An Ge'er was much more welcoming than him. He reached out and pulled him over: "My name is An Ge'er."

Seeing this, Liang glared at her son and said, "Look at you, you're not as sensible as your brother."

Cheng Jin reacted and said quickly: "My name is Brother Jin."

An Ge'er nodded seriously: "Yeah."

Jiang Li: ..., are you so familiar with me?

However, she noticed that among the children, the third child was the most tactful.

"Come over there and play." Jiang Li called the children to go to the front.

"Okay~" Anger responded to his mother in a childish voice and pulled Cheng Jin to the table in front.

Cheng Kang and Cheng Hua, brother and sister, ate snacks while looking at Ang'er curiously, their eyes more focused on Ang'er's dark brocade clothes.

Not to mention that Cheng Kang and Cheng Hua were attracted by the material of Anger's clothes, Da also noticed his shiny clothes. She frowned slightly and wondered where this child got clothes made of such good material.
