Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Feast
Ma Siqi's vision has always been high.
At first, her father did not ask her opinion and took the initiative to recruit a son-in-law, but she was opposed, and according to her appearance, what kind of husband could not be found, so why bother? Those so-called children of the family who came to admire her, everyone saw her amazing appearance, and the eyes that lit up made her feel disgusting from the bottom of her heart.
Only the person in front of him, without the slightest flattery in his eyes, was so cold that his eyes seemed to shine into her figure.
The water slave took a step back, left the range of Ma Siqi's palm, and saluted, "The maid has seen San Langjun." β
Yin Xin let go of Ma Siqi's wrist, and when he saw the red mark on the water slave's cheek, he suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that the woman in front of him knew that her identity was extraordinary when she looked at her dress, so she had to hide her anger and ask calmly:
"Lady, please calm your anger, if the water slave offends the lady by doing something, the servant apologizes. β
This is neither humble nor arrogant, and the water slave is a little surprised, when will this San Langjun, who looks down on the domestic servant with his own identity, come out of nowhere?
Ma Siqi looked at him and asked, "Are you Yin Xin, the third son of the Yin family?"
She had already asked before she came, this is the courtyard where several Langjun ladies of the Yin family and the ladies of the Song family live. And the reason why she appeared here was because after these people arrived yesterday, the head of the Ma family whispered in her ear, saying that the status of the Yin family was different from others, and asked her to put away her usual arrogance and be kinder to others.
After retorting a few words disdainfully, he was reprimanded by his father, and he was angry, so he came over here angrily to see if the other party was a human or a ghost.
Just walked into this courtyard, I saw a girl in the flower garden low down and sniffed, the style of the whole body almost made her mistake for a lady, when she saw her in cheap clothes, only to be sure that this girl is just a maidservant, some surprised to look at the still quiet and elegant figure, suddenly with a little inexplicable anger.
Seeing that she dared to turn a blind eye to herself and turned away, she was even more angry and slapped her directly, and dared to take Qiao in front of her, do you really think that she is superior?
Yin Xin nodded and said, "Exactly, I don't know the name of the lady, why are you so angry?"
A servant girl said, "Aren't you here to celebrate the birthday of my lord? β
Ma Siqi scolded, "Don't be rude. β
The maid was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by the change in her attitude, and hurriedly took a few steps back and bowed her head silently.
It turned out that this was Ma Siqi, the lady of the Ma family, that is, the purpose of his trip, Yin Xin looked at it quietly, and was a little surprised, but it was like a rumor, and she looked like a veritable flower and moon. It's just that...... He frowned, this temperament was too rude.
"It turned out to be a horse lady. Yin Xin said, "I don't know what you have to do here?"
"Don't dare. Ma Siqi unconsciously restrained her usual arrogant tone, and softened her voice, "I just heard that a few Langjun live here, so I came to see if San Langjun can live comfortably, do you have other requirements?"
Yin Xin said: "Thank you Ma Niang for your trouble, Lord Meng Lang is already grateful." β
"That's good. Ma Siqi glanced at the water slave who was standing on the side and hung his head silently, and before Yin Xin opened his mouth to mention her beating again, he hurriedly said, "In this way, the family will retire first!"
Yin Xin is not such a pestering person, and he also politely said: "Lady, please go slowly!"
After everyone withdrew from the courtyard, looking at the palm prints on the water slave's face, Yin Xin stretched out his hand with some hesitation and said:
"Water slave, the wound on your face ......"
The water slave took a step back, "Thank you San Langjun for relieving the siege for the servant, the injury on the servant's face is not serious." β
Yin Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go back and apply the medicine, and be more cautious in your words in the future!"
"Yes. The water slave bowed slightly and said, "The servant retires!"
Back in the house, Ah Yuan was rubbing his eyes and sitting on the couch in a daze, waiting to see the water slave come in, his eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the red and swollen palm prints on her face, and exclaimed:
"Sister Shuinu, what's the matter with the injury on your face?"
The water slave hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, looked back at the middle of the eye, and saw that there was no movement, Fang put his index finger to his lips and said:
"Shhhhh Mo woke up Gorou-kun. β
"Uh-huh. A-Yuan nodded repeatedly.
The water slave let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with Fang Cai, it seems to be a little anxious." β
Ah Yuan's face flushed, "I had a nightmare." Suddenly reacted that the focus was not this, "No, I should have asked you, Sister Shuinu, what's wrong with your face, but the fourth lady beat you again?"
"It's not. The water slave shook his head, "It's not a big deal, just apply cold water and rub some ointment later." β
"Oooh. Ah Yuan hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the ointment, and said in a low voice, "Sister Shuinu, don't you tell SΓΉ Wulangjun?"
"No need. The water slave applied a towel soaked in cold water to the hot part of his face, "It's not a big deal, why worry." β
I was going to only escort him on this journey, so why bother with it.
The lights of the Ma family were bright at night, because the children of the Yin family finally arrived, and Ma Yuanqin, the head of the Ma family, decided to pick up the wind and wash the dust for a few people, and the children of the family who had arrived before naturally accompanied them. So the mighty table was set up or so, this is not yet the birthday, it is already such a grand occasion, and I don't know what kind of grand occasion it is on the birthday day.
Yin Xin's three siblings, as well as Song Yuanyi and Ma Yuanqin, the head of the Ma family, sat on the main seat, and the other two Ma family Langjun sat aside.
I don't know if it's my own delusion, Yin Xin always feels that the eyes of the head of the Ma family are frequently looking at his side, and what's even more strange is that he is sitting near Ma Yuanqin's left hand side, and Ma Yuanqin is separated by a seat, and this seat is still empty.
Seeing that all kinds of dishes with extremely attractive colors and aromas had been put on the table, the maid also stood quietly aside, waiting for the head of the house to give an order to start the meal.
Sure enough, Ma Yuanqin got up, swept his gaze, and finally landed on Yin Xin, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's rare for so many young talents to gather together, and the old man is really happy in his heart." In particular, several Langjun of the Yin family came all the way from Xin'an, and the journey experienced a lot of twists and turns. The old man was really ashamed in his heart, and specially prepared a thin seat to wash the dust for several Lang Jun. β
Everyone at the other tables was already whispering, which Langjun lady could go to the main table? After hearing that it was the Langjun of the Yin family, they all suddenly realized that since they were from the Yin family among the six major families, it was no wonder that they could sit at the main table.
I only heard Ma Yuanqin say again: "It just so happens that the little girl has passed the age of the year, and she is the same age as all the young talents, so I will call her out to get to know you, and I will take care of each other in the future." β
After that, he ordered to go down, and after a while, several maidservants in clothes of the same color came out surrounded by a beautiful lady, with a graceful figure and an extraordinary appearance, which was Ma Siqi, who slapped the water slave at noon today.
