Chapter 50: Not to be messed with
As soon as the second wife finished speaking, Mrs. Jia San on the opposite side chuckled, finally put down the tea bowl, raised her head lightly and looked at the fourth lady and said: "Although this woman is not talented is virtuous, but how can a person like us really raise his own daughter like this, I think when I was still in the boudoir, there was a women's poetry club in the capital, which was not more lively than the poetry competition." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info It is said that this Jiangnan should be more prosperous, I don't know if Miss Jiu of your mansion has participated in a poetry club competition or something?"
Zhen Wanyi turned her head to look at Mrs. Jia San, "Mrs. Hui, I haven't participated yet, but the eighth sister has participated." ”
Qinghe City naturally also has a poetry club spontaneously formed by Miss Boudoir, several good young ladies you invite me, I invite her to get together, every once in a while, go out in spring and enjoy flowers in summer, taste crabs in autumn and enjoy snow in winter. Naturally, when they got together, they had to fight, and when they got together, they naturally had parties, and then they had to pay dues for every party, and they had to take out rewards and give prizes to those who won the poems and paintings. Zhen Wanyi participated once, only followed Zhen Wenyi to watch the excitement, and after one time, she lost any interest in the so-called Wendou of these ladies, and there was time to watch their various attitudes, it was better for her to practice a calligraphy, read a travelogue, and embroider a flower.
A trace of contempt flashed in Mrs. Jiasan's eyes, and when she looked at Zhen Wenyi, there was a smile on her face, "You have to participate in more activities like this, and accumulating contacts is also a skill." ”
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of the fourth wife's mouth, "No, this is the experience of the third wife, and the eighth sister has to listen carefully." ”
Mrs. Jiasan's face changed drastically, and she snorted angrily, "You,"
The fourth lady's chin was raised high, and her face showed full mockery.
Mrs. Jia hurriedly gave Mrs. Jia a look, and Mrs. Jia turned her head in breath, her chest couldn't stop rising and falling, obviously very angry.
Second Mrs. Jia hurriedly got up and said, "The banquet has been prepared, so let's take a seat." ”
The wives set up two tables, and the ladies opened four tables, and the three sisters of the Zhen Mansion were naturally arranged together.
Zhen Wenyi asked in a low voice, "Ninth sister, is there any misunderstanding between the fourth aunt and Mrs. Jia's third wife?"
Zhen Wanyi shook her head, "I don't know either, but it seems that Mrs. Jia San doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, and she talks so impulsively." "And today is Mrs. Jia's dressing ceremony, is it necessary for her to be so eager to put on the red clothes and dress up so gorgeously? I didn't see that the eldest lady and the second lady were all plain, she was looking for a topic for herself.
"What's the matter, the third wife is amiable on weekdays, maybe I'm not in a good mood today. Zhen Wenyi hurriedly defended, and after seeing Zhen Wanyi's puzzled eyes, she hurriedly turned her eyes away, and bowed her head to eat the food.
Zhen Wanyi didn't think much about it, she just thought that Mrs. Jia San spoke for her, so Zhen Wenyi would speak for Mrs. San.
The banquet is very exquisite, I heard that the chef of the largest restaurant in Qinghe City was invited to take charge of the spoon, but no matter how delicate things are eaten in this cold winter, they have lost their deliciousness, and the banquet of such a large table is not as good as a hot pot.
But now the pot is placed in the middle of the table, gurgling and steaming, and Zhen Wanyi is so greedy that she is embarrassed to get up and reach out to pick up the vegetables. On weekdays, the maid serves behind the pot, and the cherry is particularly strong in this aspect, and she can always be the first to catch the food she likes to eat, and the speed is fast, and she eats the most every time she eats the pot in Changkang Courtyard. But today, the maids who came with me were all eating in other courtyards, and there was no maid here to serve the vegetables, so a large table of people looked at the hot pot but ate the food with jelly seeds.
After eating a few bites, Zhen Wanyi put down the chopsticks, and Zhen Wenyi, who happened to be beside her, also put them down, and whispered in a low voice: "Ninth sister, I have some discomfort in my stomach, I have to go to the clean room, and I will help me come back if my mother asks." ”
Zhen Wanyi glanced at it worriedly, "Does it matter if you want the eighth sister, do you need me to accompany you?"
Zhen Wenyi shook her head hurriedly, "No need, I'll find a maid to accompany me, it's very cold outside, don't accompany me to get frozen, if the fourth aunt freezes, don't blame me." ”
After speaking, he got up and walked to a girl in Tsing Yi, said a few words, and the two went out together.
It wasn't until the meal was finished and the tea was drunk twice that Zhen Wenyi hurried back, her sideburns were a little messy, and she saw sweat on her forehead on a cold day, Zhen Wanyi hurriedly reached out and helped her to sit beside her, but she was shivering with ice when she touched it, and when she looked closely, she found that half of Zhen Wenyi's right sleeve was soaked.
Zhen Wenyi covered her arm with her left hand, turned sideways to avoid Zhen Wanyi's hand, sat down slowly, uncomfortably helped her hair bun, swept around at double speed, and was relieved to see that no one noticed her, and whispered: "It's snowing outside, I, I fell." Did anyone ask about me?"
Zhen Wanyi shook her head and handed over a cup of hot tea, "Eighth sister, drink some hot tea to drive away the cold." ”
took advantage of the tea to take a look at Zhen Wenyi's shoes, the white edge of the platform shoes was stained with black mud, and the skirt was also a little wet, but the skirt was clean, which showed that what Zhen Wenyi just said was not credible. It's just that where did this person go, there must be Ning Yuanzhai in the clean room, and the other ladies will go back quickly, where can they go for so long and get their clothes wet.
You must know that Zhen Wenyi cherishes clothes the most on weekdays, and the clothes she wears at home and the clothes she wears when she goes out are very clear, and she once washed her clothes for the maid and let the maid kneel in the sun and faint. If she remembered correctly, this green and yellow silk cloth was newly distributed by the mansion last month, and asked them to make new clothes, like this new clothes that were originally prepared for the New Year, she should be extremely careful when she wore them, how could she make it like this? Most importantly, where did she go? Today was the first banquet of Jiafu in Qinghe City, not only did there be female relatives in the backyard, but there were more male guests in the front yard, and the men of the Zhen Mansion all went to the front yard.
Zhen Wanyi saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but she had no way to ask clearly, even if she asked Zhen Wenyi, she wouldn't answer honestly. Gently moved his body to block forward, hiding Zhen Wenyi behind him, and secretly prayed that others would not find out about Zhen Wenyi's abnormality, and this banquet would end early.
Zhen Wanyi thought so, Zhen Wenyi wanted to leave even more, she didn't expect him to be so bold and dare to come to the backyard to meet her, but he should like her very much, so he couldn't hold it back, didn't he? Thinking about this scene in the forest, Zhen Wenyi's cheeks were not red, and her eyes were full of spring if she didn't lower her head, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide it.
Fortunately, this torture didn't last long, and the banquet was dispersed, after all, the Spring Festival was approaching, and everyone was very busy, and it was a shameful thing to be able to spare most of the day to come to Jiafu.
