117 Liu Xiuyi (Karlking and Bi Jia Gan)
As soon as Lu Shi and Xu Yu entered the house, many eyes looked at them.
Or look directly, or peek through drinking tea, or glance at it with residual eyes, but most of the eyes stop at the promise.
The disappearance of the sixth mother of the Xu family was very troublesome in Bianjing, as long as she was not a little lady, she was very profound.
What's more, Xu Gucheng has now returned to the capital with his family, but he has hidden this only concubine at home and has never appeared on a formal occasion for more than a month, which makes many people anxious.
Of course, many people heard about Qiao Niangzi's affair and thought that the promise was because the female workers who were waiting for the first time in school were ashamed to see them and did not dare to go out.
Therefore, half of the people in the hall waited to ask a promise later, to see what kind of Cheng Dù and what kind of ugliness this girl who had grown up in the wild and had only been trained for two years was now.
After all, when the Lu family was not out of the cabinet, she was a famous lady in the capital, and she didn't have to pick her talent and etiquette. I don't know how many excellent men she attracted to her in those years, and even if they had never seen her appearance, they admired her very much because of her sound.
If the daughter taught by Lu Qiniang is rude today, she will be too sorry for the reputation of the Lu family back then.
Of course, this kind of scene will be exciting and worth looking forward to.
Several of the ladies present admired Xu Gucheng as a young handsome man, and were attracted by his talent and appearance, but because of his identity, he never had the idea of marrying.
These people have been waiting to see the Lu family's jokes since they learned about Xu Gucheng's relationship with the Lu family.
What good can life be in marrying the son of a tea merchant?
Unexpectedly, Xu Gucheng's career after that was very smooth, and he soon became a Beijing official, and the life of the Lu family did not seem to be as miserable as imagined. "When Xu Liuniang disappeared, these people felt better and fairer.
These people today are not actually here to see the jokes of promises. It's about looking at Lu's jokes.
Let you value your appearance, let you marry him without thinking about it, and the suffering you suffer now is all your own doing!
A group of people already had the appearance of Lu's black face in their hearts.
The Lu family is very smart, how could they not know the minds of these people, otherwise they would not let Xu Promise learn the customs at home, so that she could understand the big families in the capital.
Promise to follow behind Lu Shi to give a salute. followed what Lu had said. But she claims to be a son, not a concubine.
She looked very calm on her face, but the three words Liu Xiuyi kept ringing in her head.
Isn't Liu Xiuyi Liu E?
She was fortunate to meet this "talented person with Lu Wu." There is no evil of Lu Wu" in the future Empress Dowager Liu?
She remembered that Liu E was a Dazhong auspicious charm, and was named the queen by Zhao Heng in December of the fifth year, that is, she would become the mother of a country next month.
It seems that there is no news of canonization now, otherwise the capital would not be so quiet, and this hall would not be so peaceful.
Promise has things in mind. It does not change color in front of everyone, and it is very calm. There was no unruly behavior in the gestures, but the temperament of the noble girl made a few women who were waiting to see the show a little regretful.
Liu Xiuyi was the first to speak, with a little intimacy in her tone. There was a little blame: "Seventeen Niang, you are finally willing to bring your baby daughter out." The sound was the same as the laughter that Promise had heard outside.
Lu Shi smiled slightly and replied: "The concubine is now the second lady of the Xu family. Liu Xiuyi called it like this......"
Before Lu Shi's words were finished, Princess Ning interrupted with a smile. A pair of hands full of rings covered their mouths and said: "How many people are waiting for Xiuyi to call it so, but you still complain, what is so good about Second Lady Xu, she is too rusty." ”
Although Princess Ning said witty words, while provoking the relationship between Liu Xiuyi and the Lu family, she also said that Liu Xiuyi did not have a close relationship with other ladies, and on the other hand, she also belittled Xu Gucheng. …
But in Xu Yu's ears, Princess Ning's words seemed shrewd, but she was stupid.
Which one of you sitting here is not a human spirit, and you can't see her tricks? Not to mention Liu Xiuyi, a person who has gradually climbed up from a humble status?
Liu Xiuyi is now in her forties, but she is still favored by the emperor, and in addition to her appearance, it has a lot to do with her talent. What's more, she now has a son under her knees, and the latter position is just around the corner, what she lacks is just an opportunity, and she lacks an opportunity for the emperor to seal the flower drum girl as the queen and block the minister's mouth at the same time.
Sure enough, Liu Xiuyi didn't care about Princess Ning's provocation at all, and said with a smile: "The rules can't be messed up, it's because I haven't seen Second Lady Xu for many years and didn't react for a while, and I won't be wrong again in the future." As he spoke, his title had been changed.
After Lu returned to Beijing, it was indeed the first time to see Liu Xiuyi, Liu Xiuyi knew that the six mothers of the Xu family were hidden and listened to others, so there was no omission.
Princess Ning's face was hot, but she couldn't say anything, she could only say yes with a smile.
Xu Yu followed Lu Shi into the seat, and only then did she raise her eyes and take a closer look at Liu Xiuyi's appearance.
Liu Xiuyi looks nearly ten years younger than her real age, honorable and luxurious, dignified and charming, with smooth skin and extra spirit.
He has a golden flower on his forehead, a slightly long face, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and vermilion lips.
Her eyes were not big, but they were extraordinarily attentive, and Xu Yu glanced at her, and for a moment felt as if the whole person had been seen through.
After a short observation, Xu Yu knew that Liu Xiuyi seemed to be an assertive person who knew how to advance and retreat.
Such a woman is worthy of the evaluation of her by later generations.
Looking at Princess Ning again, although she looks rich, her eyes lack some calmness and confidence from the bottom of her eyes compared to Liu Xiuyi's.
The shrewdness that everyone can see can sometimes be called stupid, and Princess Ning belongs to this kind of person.
Before lunch, a few people asked Xu Promise questions, and she answered them one by one, without any errands, but made a few people look at each other differently and frequently look at Lu.
However, in two years, the Lu family has trained a wild child so well, and it is the first time to participate in a banquet of this level, and he is not timid, and he is very easy to deal with.
As if he hadn't noticed these gazes, Lu Shi calmly drank tea, and talked to a lady beside him from time to time. If Lu was not convinced that Xu Promise could cope with today's scene, he would not have brought her out.
Suddenly, someone called Xu Liuniang.
Xu Promise raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old lady with a mediocre appearance but arrogance in her eyes looking at her.
Lu had introduced her to the people in the house before, and she remembered that this lady was Wang Banniang, the granddaughter of Wang Qinruo, the privy envoy of the dynasty and the same as the Ping Zhangshi.
Wang Qinruo, as the head of the famous "Five Ghosts", promised to be very familiar.
Catering to the emperor's will, being opportunistic, sowing discord, blaming others, and making meritorious contributions for himself are his forte. It was he who mistakenly saved Zhao Heng to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen a few years ago, which made the originally rich Northern Song Dynasty short of money and food.
promised to have preconceived dissatisfaction with Wang Qinruo, and at this moment, Wang Banniang, who looked arrogant and obviously came to trouble her, had no good feelings.
However, she did a good job of etiquette on the surface, and she couldn't find a trace of fault, so she asked politely: "I don't know what happened to Wang Baniang's son calling Liuniang?"
Wang Banniang didn't answer, but waved her head and called a servant girl over.
After seeing the maidservant passing, Wang Banniang said: "This hosta on your head, I look very interesting, I don't know if you can lend it to me." Having said that, the man she sent was already standing behind Promise, apparently forcing Promise to give her the hosta.
After listening to the promise, he quickly scanned the hall, and found that many people were holding the appearance of watching a good show, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart. At the same time, I was thinking, on such a big stage, it was a pity that Xu Qian didn't come, she pretended to be pure and pretended to be pitiful. (To be continued)
