Chapter 071: Self-inflicted humiliation
The banquet held by King Liang was an invitation initiated by the county lord of Minyi, and it was also the first time that she and Empress Ji independently organized this kind of banquet between noble women.
Because it is a flower-viewing banquet, the inner garden of King Liang's mansion is full of flowers, and there are dozens of pots of rare flowers placed in a conspicuous place.
In order not to look lonely, the princess joked that with the cheap flower banquet of her sister-in-law, she also invited several young ladies and grandmothers to taste tea and enjoy the flowers. Zhao Qinghui naturally agreed, so that her cousin Xie Fuya, who was already married, would not be embarrassed to come over.
After packing up in the morning, Xie Fuya took her maidservant Rushi into the carriage.
The eldest grandmother of the big house of Chengyi Bofu and Cai Yuzhen, the eldest girl of the eldest daughter-in-law, also received an invitation, so they are also going to Liang Wangfu today.
Yesterday, Xie Fuya didn't give Cai Yurong and Su Weirou a good face, and both of them didn't want to ride in the same carriage with Xie Fuya, but squeezed into the carriage of the big house.
Shefuya is happy to be pure!
Along the way, Cai Yurong chattered endlessly, and Wen and the eldest girl Cai Yuzhen frowned. Su Weirou looked a little dazed, not knowing what she was thinking.
When Liang Wangzhi arrived, Wen, Xie Fuya and others got out of the carriage, and two middle-aged women hurriedly descended the steps to meet them.
"I've seen the county lord of Jingyi, Grandma Cai, and all the ladies. The two women saluted with smiles on their faces.
Cai Yurong pouted lightly when she heard the greetings from the people of King Liang's mansion.
If you talk about it, it should be Grandma Cai and Second Grandma Cai, but Xie Fuya is now the county lord, and her status is naturally put in front of her.
Xie Fuya finally got rid of the disgusting title of "Second Grandma Cai", and her mood became better and better.
The woman in dark purple clothes saluted Xie Fu Yafu and said respectfully: "Our county lord is waiting for you, the county lord, and the special slave maid is waiting here, and when you come, please move to Xishang Pavilion." ”
"Okay, I'm tired. Xie Fuya nodded.
The woman in the purple dress led the way, and Xie Fuya said to the eldest grandmother Wen and followed with Rushi.
Cai Yurong, who had been standing behind Wen, saw that Xie Fuya was directly invited to see Lord Minyi, so she hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after her.
"Yurong!" Grandma Wen wanted to call the sister-in-law in the next room, but was stopped by her sister-in-law, the eldest girl Cai Yuzhen. She was stunned and looked at her sister-in-law, "Yuzhen?"
Cai Yuzhen said softly: "Second sister and second ...... and the county lord are sisters-in-law, and the second sister is right to follow the county lord. ”
"But ......" Wen frowned, glanced at the servant woman of Chengyibo's Mansion who was standing quietly beside her, and swallowed the words behind.
The servant woman stood for a while, and saw that the grandmother and the girl of Chengyibo's Mansion were no longer talking, so she raised her head and greeted her with a smile: "Please come with the slave maid, the princess and the ladies and grandmothers are all enjoying the flowers and listening to the opera in the Spring Garden." ”
Wen nodded and said, "There is labor", and took his sister-in-law Cai Yuzhen and cousin Su Weirou into the palace.
As soon as he walked a few steps into the palace, he heard someone shouting someone's name behind him, and the palace servant who was leading the way in front stopped.
A few people turned around to look, only to see a little girl with a double bun leading Cai Yurong with a reluctant face coming over.
Wen and Cai Yuzhen glanced at each other, and there was confusion in their eyes.
The little girl came over and whispered a few words to the servant, then bowed to Wen and the others and turned to leave.
Cai Yurong walked over and stood beside Su Weirou, looking aggrieved.
"Grandma Cai and the three girls may not know that our county lord is a master who values the rules the most, and the kind of rude person who comes uninvited has never been treated by her. The servant woman who led the way said with a smile.
Wen Shi was embarrassed when he heard this, so he had to pull the corners of his mouth and smile lightly, but he couldn't say anything to respond.
Cai Yurong's face turned red when she heard this, but this is the Liang Wang's Mansion, and even a servant woman can't be easily offended! She had to suppress the rising anger, but she put the humiliation on Xie Fuya's head.
Wen and the others continued to follow the servant woman towards the inner courtyard, and Su Weirou deliberately took two steps behind and grabbed Cai Yurong at the same time.
Cai Yurong was annoyed, but Su Weirou grabbed her and shook it hard, "What is my cousin doing?"
Su Weirou rubbed her aching hands, glanced at the sister-in-law in the big room in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Why did my cousin come back?"
Cai Yurong already felt embarrassed, but now when she heard Su Weirou mention Xie Fuya, she became even more angry!
"Hmph! She is now the county lord, and the shelf is quite high!" Cai Yurong said angrily, "I was driven away by that servant woman, she stood aside and watched coldly, and she didn't say a word for me!"
Su Weirou hurriedly pulled Cai Yurong's sleeve, "Cousin, be quiet." Alas, how could the second cousin be like this? You are the sister of the second cousin, so she can't take me and Cousin Zhen to see the county lord, and she can't help but take you. She's not afraid to go back, and the second cousin won't be happy when he finds out?"
"Hmph, my brother just doesn't want to marry her at all! My father and mother forced my brother to marry someone into the door, and so far I haven't even finished my room...... Forget it, hurry up and follow the sister-in-law, so as not to be shameless by the people of the palace again!"
Su Weirou heard a big secret and was shocked in her heart, but she kept following Cai Yurong at her feet.
Xie Fuya was led to Xishang Pavilion, where Zhao Qinghui and several noble ladies such as the county lord of Fulan, the county lord of Yuzhen, and the three girls of the Luyang Mansion were drinking tea and talking to each other, and several little girls let out crisp laughter from time to time, which was innocent.
Xie Fuya looked at the smiling faces of the girls, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She used to be so happy, but now she is burdened with the hatred and resentment of the previous life, and she has not really laughed for a long time.
Zhao Qinghui smiled and glanced outside the pavilion, and saw Xie Fuya in a light cyan gauze dress.
"Cousin Fuya!" Zhao Qinghui waved his arm in the pavilion.
Xie Fuya smiled back, and her eyes did not miss the different expressions on the faces of the other ladies who came over.
"Why is she here?" Li Huilan, the county lord of Fulan, rolled her eyes and snorted, "I'm afraid she's going the wrong way, right? ”
"That's it!" Wei Mei, the county lord of Yuzhen, echoed, "It's not convenient to dirty this land." ”
Zhao Qinghui looked at the two cousins with a slight face, "What do you mean by this? Cousin Fuya was invited by me, what do you mean to dirty this place?"
The county lord of Fulan coughed lightly and glanced at the county lord of Yuzhen.
Receiving the hint from the county lord of Fulan, the county lord of Yuzhen immediately coaxed Zhao Qinghui with a smile: "Look at what you are angry about, I just talk about it casually." ”
Zhao Qinghui is not stupid, of course she can see that the county lord of Fulan and the county lord of Yuzhen are two generals who sing and harmonize! Because of the relationship between relatives, she is not easy to say deeply, but she also turned her head and ignored the county lord Yuzhen.
