Chapter 627: Going to the Feast
On the day of the banquet, the weather was fine, Li Qianqian finished practicing, washed up, and was pulled by Chunjiang and them to dress up, this was the first time she officially attended the banquet after the ceremony.
Because it has been passed, so the dress is different from before, although it is already a season, but she is petite, her face has not yet grown, and she really doesn't look like a girl who has been passed.
Because Li Jingshi and Li Shu were not there, Li Qianqian didn't take the ceremony to heart at all, but Feng Gongzi asked his second brother to help him send a mutton fat jade peony hosta to her.
Lan Tang wanted to help her with the ceremony, but she also refused, Lan Tang thought that she thought of her mother, and thought that her mother hurt her body when she gave birth to her, and then died early, so she didn't say anything anymore.
Zhang Duoli is an orphan, although the master loves her, but he doesn't pay attention to the ceremony, Lan Tang's ceremony is done by Mrs. Feng Gongzi, and she is the only one of the three of them who officially holds the ceremony.
So she also wanted Li Qianqian to have an unforgettable ceremony, but later she also figured out that they were not there during the Li Jing, and they were destined to be absent at this time, so it was better to wait for them to come back and then make up for it.
Chunjiang carefully combed Li Qian's hair, Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli came in together, the two of them were still holding the jewelry box of Tianbaofang, Lan Tang saw Chunjiang probe picking the hairpin in the jewelry box, and hurriedly opened the jewelry box in his hand and handed it over.
"Pick one. ”
Li Qian glanced at it with shallow eyes, and before he could speak, Zhang Duoli also handed over the jewelry box in his hand, "Pick mine, pick mine." ”
In the jewelry box of the two of them is a red and blonde hairpin, Lantang is a butterfly peony, Zhang Duoli is a phoenix head step, the phoenix eye is a red treasure, and the pendant of the phoenix mouth is a red coral bead.
The workmanship is fine and the style is new and ingenious, all of which are new works from the designers of Tianbaofang.
"No, you can keep it, I'll just use that hosta. ”
Lan Tang smiled thoughtfully when he heard this, "I know that you must have picked him to send it." ”
"Alas, the two of us can't match the others! Zhang Duoli dipped her right hand at the corner of her mouth, then wiped the corner of her eyes and pretended to cry.
The corners of Li Qianqian's mouth twitched slightly, these two sisters are really.
Lan Tang is wearing a navy blue bottom woolen grass jacket black color wool long skirt, the skirt is dark blue brocade, under the big red ribbon on the waist is the sheep fat jade double fish wear of the pressure skirt, the concentric bun is red gold cloud head step, the ears are the same cloud earrings, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, the eyes are bright, the nose is red, although the color of the clothes is too dull, but the makeup is bright, but it is just right.
Zhang Duoli was born stunningly, wearing a peach red jacket and dark red long skirt, the skirt is a dark brocade, the waist is a snow green tape, and the sheep fat jade of the pressure skirt is three sheep Kaitai, which is in line with her zodiac, she combed the same concentric bun as Lan Tang, but her hair is a small crested head step, and the other is a red treasure hairpin, earrings are red gold plum blossoms, this is not designed by the designer of Tianbaofang, but painted by Li Qianqian, when Zhang Duoli discussed the sleigh style with her, she scribbled ducks on the sample drawing, Zhang Duoli saw it and felt very like, when she went to Tianbaofang to buy jewelry, she gave this formula to the shopkeeper of Tianbaofang, and asked the master in the store to help her make it in a hurry。
Tianbaofang has recently been busy with the banquet of the county king's mansion, but Zhang Duoli is with their owner, no matter how busy she is, she has to rush to her, hurry up, and finally rushed out last night.
For this reason, Zhang Duoli plans to let someone send a big red envelope to the shopkeeper and the master who is in a hurry.
Li Qianqian saw her flower-shaped earrings at this time, and stretched out her hand in surprise, and Zhang Duoli hurriedly leaned over to let her take a closer look.
"How's it going, pretty, isn't it?"
"Beautiful, this master's work is really fine. The dew on the plum blossom petals is a very small pearl, she remembers that when she painted this flower, she deliberately drew a dew drop on the petals on a whim, but she did not expect the goldsmith to set a small pearl on the petals as a dewdrop.
Lan Tang pouted, "You are eccentric, how can you help her design earrings, and you won't help me design one." ”
Li Qianqian was a little speechless for a moment, God knows that she didn't design earrings for Zhang Duoli at all, but just for fun, who knew that Zhang Duoli would take it to make earrings.
"The master said that if you make a hairpin like this, the dew on it can be replaced with diamonds. "The gemstones of this age are not as fine as they are in modern times, but diamonds are crystal clear, and they are indeed more like dewdrops than pearls.
Diamond diamonds are generally from overseas, the coast of the mainland of Zhongzhou, except for the Northern Jin Dynasty and some small countries, most of the coast is owned by the Eastern Qi Dynasty, if you want to purchase goods from the Northern Jin Dynasty, there are many twists and turns in the middle, and the risk is comparable to the purchase from the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
"Let's see!" Li Qianqian didn't give an answer immediately after thinking about it, and Zhang Duoli just asked for help, and she didn't take it to heart if she didn't have an answer.
If the shopkeeper of Tianbaofang really wants to open this road, he will go to Li Qianqian to talk.
Li Qianqian wears a light pink plum blossom jacket, a long skirt with dark pink hair, a big red brocade on the hem, red fox fur inlaid on the neckline and cuffs, a plush rabbit hair ball on the ears, and a concentric bun on the head, which is wrapped with slender strips of red fox hair, and a mutton fat hosta is set off more crystalline.
Li Qian's facial features have not yet grown, and he is still a little childish, the whole person is soft and cute, looking like a cute little rabbit, with a pair of eyes that are not deeply involved in the world and a little understanding, Lan Tang couldn't help but sneer when he glanced at it, "You look like this, don't you disappoint those people?"
I thought there was a great one, but I didn't expect a soft and cute rabbit to come?
Li Qian pursed his lips and smiled lightly.
"That Aunt Jiang must be very disappointed, she still hopes that someone from Beijing can support her! Zhang Duoli covered her mouth and smiled.
"She's very strong, she needs someone to protect her. Li Qianqian has read Jiang Mingting's information, that woman really doesn't look like a big girl raised in a deep boudoir in her teens, her bold words and deeds are really like those rich N generations who caused trouble in Li Qianqian's previous life and didn't worry about no one to clean up.
Because he believes that no matter what he does, someone will deal with the aftermath, so he acts arrogantly and has no scruples, Jiang Mingting has that kind of style, which makes Li Qianqian can't help but wonder, this Miss Jiang and Aunt Jiang won't also wear it, right?
It's not impossible to think about it! Isn't she wearing it herself?
Since there is one, there are two, and there are no three! It is not surprising that there is another one!
With the idea of testing the other party to see if he was wearing it, Li Qianqian stepped into the carriage and went to the Shuilan County Mansion for a banquet.
When Liu Yi hurried over, Li Qianqian and the others had already arrived at the county king's mansion.
"What's going on?" Mother Ye couldn't help but ask when she saw him sweating profusely and poured tea for him.
"A few Dharma protectors in Nanchu knew that the sect leader had come to Shuilan City, and I just learned that they were all guests in the county king's mansion. ”
Mother Ye knew that Master Li Qianqian had been dealing with the Dharma protectors in the sect, and when she heard the news, she couldn't help frowning slightly, "What do they want to do?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure I'm not kind. Liu Yi drank it all in one gulp, poured another cup himself, and then said, "I don't think they should know about those Dharma protectors." ”
They didn't move the protector of Zhao State, the Geng protector of the Eastern Qi Dynasty was moved by Li Ye, and those in the Northern Jin Dynasty coincided with the competition between the princes, and they each had their own objects of support, and the last one to ascend was the Empress Zhenyang, so they followed the fall of the master they supported, and it was completely reasonable, and no one would suspect Li Qianqian's master and apprentice.
"I have to inform the Sect Master quickly, lest she don't know anything, and it wouldn't be good if she accidentally stepped into their trap. Mother Ye urged.
Leo nodded and turned to leave.
Li Qianqian and the others have entered the county king's mansion at this time, although Li Qianqian's identity is special, but in the eyes of the ladies and wives who came to the banquet, she is just a girl who is too beautiful, three girls who are outstanding, but have no identity.
Ji Yaoshen, who was following Mrs. Li's concubine, sneered at the corners of her mouth when she heard those ladies and wives talking about Li Qianqian and the three of them.
Although Li Qianqian did not take her to live with her, he did not forget her, knowing that she was coming to the banquet, and also sent her a set of clothes from Jinyifang, as well as the head of Tianbaofang, which made several young ladies in Loei Mansion red-eyed!
The girls in the big house and the second room of the Li family are almost married, and the only one who has not yet married is Li Jingjing, who wanted to harm Li Qianqian with Ji Yaoshen.
She was Mrs. Li's favorite youngest daughter, but the events of that year, coupled with Mrs. Li's bent desire to have another son, and then she really gave birth to a younger son, the attention to the youngest daughter naturally decreased.
Maybe in Mrs. Li's opinion, she didn't treat her little daughter badly, after all, she still pays attention to her, but for a little girl who was originally cared for wholeheartedly, there is a world of difference.
She knew that she had done something wrong, and she felt as if she had been abandoned by her mother, because she had done something wrong, and that feeling was even more pronounced when her mother gave birth to her little son.
The people who are waiting in the gate of the mansion are not stupid, Mrs. Li is not as attentive to her youngest daughter as she is to her youngest son, and in the eyes of some people, she has fallen out of favor, so a little neglect, within a reasonable range, even if Mrs. Li knows, she will not punish them.
Therefore, under the nose of Mrs. Li, Li Jingjing, the young lady, was neglected by some people, and she was indignant and wanted to sue her mother, but once she and her younger brother conflicted, Mrs. Li almost did not hesitate to favor the younger son.
So when Ji Yao saw Li Jingjing again after many years, she almost couldn't recognize her.
Because Li Jingjing, who was arrogant and proud at the beginning, although she has grown up to be a big girl, she is no longer arrogant and proud, but her face is gloomy, she doesn't look at people properly, when she looks over, Ji Yaoshen only feels cold.
At this moment, she was standing beside Ji Yaoshen, and her eyes widened sharply when she heard Li Qianqian's name.
"She's still alive?" she jerked out and grabbed Ji Yaoshen's wrist and asked coldly.
Nonsense, of course people are still alive, and when the words were about to burst out, Ji Yao suddenly saw her eyes, and with a tremble in her heart, she swallowed back the words that were about to burst out of her mouth, and redirected, "I'm still alive, I came from Beijing with her." ”
Li Jingjing gritted her teeth and said, "How could she still be alive? Doesn't it mean that Li Shu's acceptance of people as a disciple is uneasy and kind-hearted?"
"Who said that?" Ji Yaoshen asked curiously about her words.
"Everyone says so!" Li Jingjing turned his head to look at her, Ji Yaoshen really saw her face at this time, speaking from her heart, Li Jingjing is really a girl with outstanding appearance, but unfortunately she has a gloomy temperament, which makes people dislike it, Mrs. Li has seen many homes for her, but as long as the other party has seen Li Jingjing, there is no follow-up.
Mrs. Li is also very anxious about her daughter's life, but she can't force someone to marry with a knife, right?
She also wanted to marry her daughter back to her parents' family, but as if she had taken precautions, even a few nephews who were not yet old were all engaged to marry! The only one who was not engaged to marry was her eldest brother's young son, who was a master who did not learn and did not know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and even if her daughter could not get married, she did not want to marry her daughter to him.
Her husband comforted her, there are no suitable candidates in Liancheng and Nancheng, it doesn't matter, let's go to a bigger place to look for it, and we can always find a suitable son-in-law.
When she came to Shuilan City, the young sons of the age did become more, but relatively, their own advantages have also weakened, in Nancheng, the Li family has been operating for several generations, and in Liancheng, there is the Ruiyao Sect's general altar to suppress the formation, but what about Shuilan City?
But Master Li didn't care, in his opinion, his daughter was not very old, so she was not in a hurry! If the helmsman doesn't buy it, it doesn't matter, go back and wait for Li Qianqian to come.
As for her daughter's marriage, if Liancheng, Nancheng and Shuilan City can't find a suitable candidate, it is better to let her follow Li Qianqian to the capital, the capital is so big, and her third uncle is used by the emperor, are you afraid that no one will rush to marry her?
Master Li didn't pay any attention to Li Jingjing's intention to murder Li Qianqian, first, he was a child! Who wouldn't make a mistake? Second, Li Qianqian was so young at the time, if none of them mentioned it, she might not remember this incident, and if she didn't remember that someone wanted to harm her, then how could she look at Li Jingjing unpleasantly?
If there is no such thing, Li Qianqian and his family Jingjing are cousins, and they are closer than the relationship with Ji Yaoshen! Since Li Qianqian can treat Ji Yaomu well, there is no reason why she would reject Li Jingjing!
So adults, especially men, think very differently from women.
They take many things for granted, for example, women are weak, women are crying, their stereotypes of women are too simple, they never think that women's joys, sorrows and sorrows will make them do many unimaginable things.
Just like Master Li probably couldn't have imagined, why did the youngest daughter Li Jingjing have such a heavy hand on a weak and harmless cousin back then, just to compete for an invitation? In order to compete for the place of apprentice? If it is a man, for the same reason, doing the same thing, he may be able to understand, it is for his own future, but girls?
What are they fighting for? Their future is to obey the orders of their parents, marry a man that their parents like, and then spread out branches and leaves for their in-laws, and teach each other husband and children.
While Ji Yaoshen and Li Jingjing were talking, a few concubines behind them were talking in a whisper, and the content of the conversation was naturally Li Qianqian, but it was obvious that their news was much brighter than Li Jingjing's, at least they all knew that the reason why the Li family had today's wealth was all due to Li Qianqian, if it wasn't for her instructions, the people in the Liancheng General Altar would not have taken care of their Li family, and the Li family would not have made so much money.
Just looking at the clothes and jewelry given to them every quarter by the public middle school, it can be seen that Master Li has indeed made a lot of money in recent years, otherwise how could his grandmother be willing to pay for them to buy clothes and jewelry.
Li Jingjing was ill-informed about the outside world because of the negligence of her subordinates and the negligence of Mrs. Li, and she was deliberately misled by the people waiting around her, which made her think that Li Qianqian's life was not easy after worshipping Li Shu as a teacher.
The reason why the people waiting for her wanted to mislead her, but she was afraid that Li Jingjing would not be able to let go, and Li Shu's acceptance of apprentices would not have a good time after coaxing her Li Qianqian's apprenticeship, so that she should not be in a bad mood because she failed to apprentice, you must know that she is in a bad mood, but everyone waiting in the room will open the knife.
In order to have a better life, coaxing her moderately is a common decision of everyone.
They would never have imagined that Li Jingjing would see Li Qianqian, who was as slim as a hibiscus out of the water, at the banquet of the Shuilan County Palace.
