Chapter 179: Merchant's Daughter
The interior space is huge, and it is said that it is an Accord, but it is not much different from the hall. The www.biquge.info furnishings are elegant and generous, and luxury. Four round tables with yellow pear inlaid mica stone are placed in between, and the legs are trimmed with gold leaf. Under the window, there is a table and a carved chair of mahogany and mahogany. Hanging on the wall is the true handiwork of the master of calligraphy and painting of the previous dynasty, and there is a fragrant incense in the purple sand Guanyin smoker flowing out quietly, and a room is fragrant.
There were several women sitting around the round table, chatting lively, and one of the girls in red stood up, it was Tang Yuanyao who was talking to her sister. At the other table, there were three women, two of whom were playing against each other with black and white pieces, and the other was watching the chess.
Among the three, Tu Manfen was the eldest, she took Tu Manzhen and Xu Wanzhen to sit at another free table, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuan Yao, I still have a sister to take care of here, so I won't be on your side." ”
Tang Yuanyao was about to sit down, but he saw Xu Wanzhen in a blink of an eye, remembered something in his heart, and smiled maliciously: "This sister is tight-eyed. This fairy-like person, Sister Manfen, don't you want to introduce it?" but he didn't dare to take it again.
Tu Manfen saw her smile and knew it was going to be bad. Although she hated Xu Wanzhen, but here, the three of them were one, and whoever lost face was even disgraced with the other two.
But Tang Yuanyao's request is extremely reasonable, this is a scheme. But if she follows her words, next, I'm afraid she will talk about Xu Wanzhen's identity as a merchant's daughter. You must know that these noble ladies have always looked down on businessmen and the like.
Tu Manfen hesitated slightly, and didn't even think about how to talk for a while.
Seeing her hesitation, Tang Yuanyao showed a smug expression, and was about to speak, but when she saw Xu Wanzhen get up, she blessed her slightly, and said with a smile: "Xu Wanzhen has really seen Sister Tang." The movements were so smooth that she couldn't find anything wrong with them, and she choked what she was going to say.
As the saying goes, "Reach out and don't hit the smiling person", not to mention that these people are watching, and no matter how embarrassed they are, they will only appear to be out of character. Tang Yuanyao didn't want to have another seizure, so she had to smile and say: "It turned out to be the sister of the Xu family, and you will have to have more contacts in the future." ”
After saying a few words, he turned around and sat down, but he was really unwilling to think about it, and said to the other girls with a smile: "Sisters, have you ever smelled a stench?"
Those girls were very familiar with Tang Yuanyao, and when they heard the words, they knew that she wanted to play tricks on people again. A girl in a red shirt replied: "Sister Yuan Yao's nose is really smart, when you say this, I also feel that there is a smell, I don't know where it comes from?"
Tang Yuanyao laughed loudly: "I'm going to solve my sister's doubts, what about this smell, the name is copper smell." All of us here are innocent daughters, and because of the mundane things, they will smell this copper smell. After saying that, he "giggled" a few times, which was particularly harsh in this room.
The girl in the red shirt laughed aloud, and then those girls woke up, looked at Xu Wanzhen, and talked softly. "It turns out that the young lady is the daughter of a merchant?" "Yuan Yao didn't say it, but I couldn't see it, and the etiquette was not bad. "I didn't expect to meet a merchant girl at the flower party, and I was ashamed to sit in the same room with her. ”
Tu Manfen's expression was slightly angry, Tang Yuanyao was a troublemaker! Her temperament was very similar to that of Old Lady Tu, and she was extremely protective. Even if she doesn't like Xu Wanzhen in every way, she can't allow these outsiders to laugh at her.
was about to speak, but Xu Wanzhen quietly squeezed her hand, she looked over suspiciously, only to see Xu Wanzhen quietly shaking her head, although she didn't know why, she closed her mouth.
Xu Wanzhen is sure, how powerful Princess Zhaoyang is, where can Tang Yuanyao be presumptuous and bully others at will on such occasions? The three women at the other table have a gorgeous temperament, and their gestures naturally reveal elegance and luxury, I don't know what the origin is. And his own family is indeed a merchant, if he rashly ridicules each other, he is inferior and makes people laugh.
As she expected, the girl watching the chess at the other table stood tall with a solemn expression, and said, "According to Miss Tang, it is the princess's vision that has a problem that will invite mundane things to participate in the flower party?"
This can be described as heart-wrenching, where did Tang Yuanyao dare to say that the princess is not, and said with a smile: "Yuan Yao never has this meaning, where is the princess's vision within our reach." Seeing this, the other girls also stopped talking.
The girl didn't pursue it, nodded and was about to sit down.
Although Tang Yuanyao was caught by the other party in the wrong place, he was not angry, so he wanted to ask someone to understand before he could return to the other party, and said, "I don't know who Miss is?" When she came, the three women were already here, and they didn't know the identity of the other party when they heard the registration. According to the potential rules that the earlier the person arrives, the lower the status, and their identity should not be as good as Tang Yuanyao.
One of the women who was playing the game turned around, glanced at Tang Yuanyao lightly, and said, "Dingguo Mansion, Cao Qinghui." The finger was slightly raised, pointing to the girl standing: "Cao Qingyi." Then he pointed to the woman who was holding black opposite: "Cao Qingmin." ”
At this time, Tang Yuanyao's face can be described as wonderful. The Dingguo Mansion is the mother's home of the current queen, the uncle of Princess Zhaoyang, and her identity can be described as different from her. I don't blame her for being clumsy, how could she know Miss Cao who has never crossed paths?
It was also the first time for her to participate in such a grand event, and she was still communicating according to her previous experience, and she only thought about squeezing out Tu Manfen in her mind. She looked away, the three young ladies of the Cao family, as their mother's family, should naturally be the first to arrive and help greet the young ladies, but their identity is not enough for the Miss Cao family to come forward to greet them.
In front of the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion, she made a fierce ugly appearance. Thinking that he even wanted to ask his name, but fortunately he would make it difficult for the other party in the future, Tang Yuanyao was so ashamed that he sat down stupidly. Several women around her secretly rejoiced that it was not her.
Xu Wanzhen bowed to Cao Qingyi slightly to show her gratitude for her help. Cao Qingyi nodded and smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Tu Manfen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was also the first time she had seen the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion, and no one had introduced her, and it was difficult for her to take the initiative to come forward. Miss Cao didn't mean to take the initiative to talk to everyone, so she took Tu Manzhen and Xu Wanzhen to choose a free round table to sit down.
The maid of the princess's mansion brought tea up, and Shi Li asked, "Miss Tu, do you want some playthings to relieve your boredom?"
Tu Manfen said in her heart, it is worthy of the princess's mansion, and she is so well prepared. He asked, "What are the playthings?"
The maid said, "There are backgammon, Go, and fighting grass." ”
Tu Manfen groaned slightly, there were only three of them, so they chose Shuanglu to pass the time.
The three of them set up Shuanglu, Tu Manfen and Tu Manzhen battled, and Xu Wanzhen watched from the sidelines. After playing kung fu for a quarter of an hour, I heard the maid at the door report: "Mrs. Anping Hou has arrived, Mrs. Changping Hou has arrived." ”
