Chapter 40: The Plum Blossom Banquet
The cold plum blossoms, and the winter snow is flying. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the winter plum blossom banquet of Dawei also came as scheduled in the snow.
The plum blossom banquet is held in the Changfeng Garden of the Dingbei Hou Mansion according to the custom.
On this day, Fu Yanxi got up early and dressed and dressed. As the first time to participate in the banquet as the host since rebirth, Fu Yanxi attaches great importance to it.
The reason for this is the same as the reason for participating in the chrysanthemum banquet, but in addition, there is another one that is the surrogate mother "going out".
Mo Lingyun completely aroused the old lady's resentment because of the matter that Fu Qinglin brought back the concubine a few days ago, so the old lady ordered Mo Lingyun not to attend the plum blossom banquet, and he was grounded in the Qingwu Courtyard to think about it. Mo Lingyun happened to be a little unhappy, so she complied with her wishes.
Zhihua carefully inserted a plum blossom hosta into Fu Yanxi's bun. This is what Mo Lingyun just polished out yesterday for the best jewelry store in the capital. The crystal white jade is translucent throughout, matched with Fu Yanxi's clothes in a red silk and white dress, like a fairy in the snow.
"It's so pretty." Fu Yanxi was overjoyed. Which daughter's family doesn't want to dress up beautifully.
"Yes, when the young lady and the lady are married, they must be alluring to the country and the city, not inferior to the lady! When the time comes, I will be able to make a wishful husband! Zhihua praised.
Fu Yanxi blushed and said with a smile: "You will make fun of me." ”
In two lifetimes, she really never thought about getting married. Although she is very envious of the deep love between husband and wife like her parents, such fortunate things are indeed rare. What's more, she still has a deep blood feud that has not yet been avenged, how can she leave the Hou Mansion easily.
Thinking of this, Fu Yanxi's eyes became sharp and ruthless. She didn't want to plunge herself into hatred, but those beasts with human faces and beast hearts were too vicious!
"Miss, the hour has come." Ziqin walked in and said.
"Hmm. Let's go. Fu Yanxi took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked out.
Changfeng Garden.
Fu Ping, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, led the servants to greet the guests in front of the mansion, and as the housekeeper wife of the Hou Mansion in Dingbei, Jiang Yingru took Fu Wanrong to talk and laugh with the acquaintances who went to the banquet in the Feihe Pavilion of Changfeng Garden.
When Fu Yanxi arrived, she saw Jiang Yingru chatting happily with a few noble ladies. Looking at her high-spirited appearance, she seems to have regarded herself as the mistress of the Hou Mansion.
After the house search, Fu Yanxi was tired of making false promises with Jiang Yingru and pretending to be intimate. Since she has made up her mind and vows not to give up, she Fu Yanxi will never let Jiang Yingru feel better!
Seeing Fu Yanxi entering Changfeng Garden, a cold light flashed in Jiang Yingru's eyes. Even though the incident of the Baihualou prostitute made her humiliate Mo Lingyun fiercely, she was forced to kneel outside Yuxuan and couldn't get out of her anger.
Mo Lingyun is already married no matter what, and Fu Qingyan loves her very much, no matter what she does, she can't seem to solve the resentment in her heart for many years.
But Mo Lingyun's children are different. A Fu Zichen has not yet become an official, and a Fu Yanxi has not yet been married, but if one of the two of them goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe for Mo Lingyun.
Fu Zichen is a man, and he doesn't often go to school in the house, but Fu Yanxi can be firmly held in the palm of her hand. In addition, her hatred of kneeling is all due to Fu Yanxi, she will not let Fu Yanxi go.
The thoughts in Jiang Yingru's mind just flashed, and soon, a smile on her face that she thought was kind and loving, and she raised her voice: "Sister-in-law is here, come and sit down." ”
Fu Yanxi heard Jiang Yingru's voice, and did not hesitate, and walked towards the Feihe Pavilion with a step.
"I've seen all the ladies, the second aunt, and the second sister." Fu Yanxi walked to the pavilion and saluted everyone.
"Rong'er has seen a big sister." Fu Wanrong also returned the gift, a scene of sisters and happiness.
Seeing Fu Yanxi, a lady on the side pulled a petite and lovely girl standing behind her and said: "The last time I was unhappy with the chrysanthemum banquet, I didn't go, who knew that my family Ling'er always told me about Miss Fu when she came back, and the beautiful words and good poems are even better, and I also said that who fascinated me as a girl, and I couldn't take my eyes off it when I saw it today." ”
Fu Yanxi turned her head to look at the lady who was talking, and saw that there was an older lady standing behind her, who seemed to be Lin Wanyi, the eldest lady of General Lin's family who had been instructed by Mo Lingyun at the last chrysanthemum banquet. I think this is General Lin's wife, and what she is holding in her hand should be her youngest daughter Lin Wanling, but Fu Yanxi is relatively unfamiliar with her.
Since her rebirth, she has worked hard to remember the identity and appearance of everyone she has seen, so that she will not be rude for forgetting the identity of others on such occasions.
General Lin is a general under Fu Qingyan, who has followed Fu Qingyan on the battlefield for many years, and the two heroes cherish each other, and Fu Qingyan still has a life-saving grace for General Lin. It's just that people who practice martial arts don't engage in those sophistication, so the two families rarely interact. But the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, and the righteousness of friends lies in the two ribs to send charcoal in the snow, and friends like that don't want to drink and meat.
In his previous life, Fu Yanxi had never seen General Lin in person, but he also heard that he, as a subordinate of Fu Qingyan, had made great efforts to assist in the rebellion of the deposed prince and was sentenced to prison. His fate is unknown, but he will not end well.
"Mrs. Lin praised it falsely, her sister is just a small skill, I heard that Sister Wanyi is both civil and military, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even riding horses and archery is not inferior to men, and I think Ling'er's sister is not bad. Mrs. is really blessed, where is like me, but my father and mother have a headache, and they don't have the demeanor of the door at all. Fu Yanxi did not hesitate to praise at all, and praised all the generals and his family in one sentence.
Mrs. Lin knew her identity when she heard Fu Yanxi, and her eyes lit up. Hearing such words of praise again, the joy on his face was even greater. Although the two families don't have much contact, the relationship is still there, and it would be even better if the juniors could make friends with each other now.
Just now, Jiang Yingru praised the high and low, and looked down on her husband's position as a little general, so she ignored herself, and now she will not save any face for Jiang Yingru. "Look at my sister-in-law, she is clever and lovely, it is a blessing for parents to have such a daughter."
Fu Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and responded: "What does Madam say, I'm afraid that if I change with Sister Yi or Sister Ling'er, Madam will not be happy." After speaking, the little daughter is delicate. There are fewer kind words, but the distance is more intimate.
When Lin Wanyi heard Fu Yanxi say this, she quipped: "I'm jealous of my sister, but when you come, I'm disgusted." It's better for my sister-in-law to be sisters with us, and it will be easy to relieve my mother's heart. ”
Lin Yanling was younger, and she was happy when she heard it, and said, "Sister Yan'er, let's agree." ”
