Chapter 042: Summer Banquet

Sorry, I forgot to send it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Yanqing, as Han Yun, came to Dingbei Hou's Mansion for the first time, but as Gu Yanqing, it was not the first time she came.

At that time, she came with her uncle disguised as a man, and she only stayed in the outer courtyard for half an hour, and as for the inner courtyard, she had never set foot in it.

In the past, the Dingbei Hou Mansion also held this banquet and that banquet, as well as the birthday of the Dingbei Hou and the deceased old marquis, but she didn't like to entertain these banquets, so she never participated in any banquets on the grounds that she was born with a fear of bringing bad luck to others.

Today's summer banquet is the first time in her life that she has participated in a banquet organized by outsiders.

The mother-in-law of the Dingbei Hou Mansion took her to meet the Dingbei Hou Mrs. Jiang first, Jiang looked at her and then took her hand and spoke affectionately, and said to the ladies next to her: "I have long heard that the Hou Ye said that he had rescued a lost girl in Yunzhou, but because the war was tight, he had no time to help the girl find her family, and then lost the trace of the girl, and I didn't want to be Shishi's sister-in-law." ”

Mu Yanqing was very disgusted, but he couldn't withdraw his hand for a long time, so he had to accompany the smiling face.

Jiang Shi changed the conversation and asked why she was reluctant to go back to Han's house.

Mu Yanqing knew that the Jiang family planned to make her lose face in front of the ladies, so it was good to sit down and it was rumored that she was willing to fall, not that the Han family was a person in front of her and a ghost behind her, forcing her to enter the prayer pavilion.

She sneered and thought, since you want to use me to elevate the Han family, then I will let you get your wish and see if you can laugh!

She brought out the words she had said in front of Han Chong again: "Because of these considerations, I don't plan to go back, after all, I was only ten years old when I was separated from my family, and I haven't learned all the etiquette or anything. ”

"Now that they know that I am still alive, I am happy that Lord Han and Master Han are happy to take me back, but they are so good to me, how can I go back to add a burden to them so calmly? Besides, I heard that the third sister is discussing marriage, if I go back and ruin her family affairs, how can I live as a sister? ”

is virtuous and virtuous, she is dedicated to the good of the Han family, but people outside go to pass her on like that...

Jiang Shi secretly looked at Mu Yanqing, and saw that when she said this, she looked sincere, not like she was telling a lie.

And what she said just now seemed to be very casual, and it also raised the Han family, but she explained her original intention of not returning to the Han family, and also "casually" said that she was a doctor in the prayer pavilion, not a servant at all!

After such a sentence, it seems that the Han family has been elevated, but it is Mu Yanqing who benefits the most.

Which of the ladies sitting here is not of rank or whose husbands have real power?

If she is just a servant and refuses to go back to the Han family, no matter what she says, everyone will only look down on her, but if she is a doctor for life, the starting point of not returning to the Han family is still for the sake of Han Fei's family affairs, and the meaning is different.

"It turns out that Miss Mu is working as a healer in the Prayer Pavilion, and everyone outside here says that you are a ling... Why don't you clarify? ”

Mu Yanqing smiled: "This is true, at the beginning, when I first arrived at the opera troupe, the class owner asked me to follow to learn to sing and hang my voice, and later found that I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting very quickly, but this voice can't be lifted, not the material for singing." The head of the troupe didn't let me sing on stage after thinking about it again and again, and introduced an old doctor to teach me to study medicine. ”

"Madame should know that Yunzhou is an important border town, and there are a lot of merchants coming and going, but because of the tense relationship with the Xiongnu, even if the merchants come to do business, they must first pass the official inspection, so that they will be very bored when they are waiting, and go to the opera troupe to listen to the opera to pass the time, in order to adapt to the public, our opera troupe has specially trained people who sing Peking Opera, Henan Opera, and Huangmei Opera."

"But as many people as there were, there were more sick people, so the head of the class asked me if I would like to return to the troupe and treat the people in the Prayer Pavilion. I was able to follow the master to study medicine because of the master's blessing, although I am a little woman, I also know that I know the grace of the retribution, so I took advantage of the gap between studying medicine to go back to the people of the prayer pavilion to recuperate. As for outsiders saying that I am a servant, it is not a big mistake, after all, I was able to survive by relying on the identity of a servant at the beginning, otherwise I would have starved to death on the streets, where is I still now? ”

The ladies present nodded secretly, a good sentence of gratitude, such a loving and righteous girl is rare.

Jiang hesitated for a moment and said: "At this time and that time, I heard that the girl and the second son of the Lu family are married, if outsiders continue to misunderstand the girl, the reputation of the girl is not good, the girl is not afraid of Lord Lu and the second lady Lu to blame, the second son does not like it?" ”

Mu Yanqing replied indifferently, "When I entered Beijing, I was a servant to the outside world, Lord Lu and Second Mrs. Lu already knew that if they came to turn over the old accounts at this time, would it be too late?" I think they all trust me, so why should I clarify? ”

Jiang Shi was stunned, and sighed secretly, even if it was right, why bother to clarify, in fact, she was also saying that she didn't need to clarify.

Mencius once said that those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. That's what this girl thinks, right?

She can calmly accept other people's eyes and comments, instead of thinking about how to justify, everyone will only think that what she said is true, she is not ashamed, on the contrary, if she wants to clarify, it will make people feel that what she said is false, she is hypocritical.

It seems that her heart is not comparable to ordinary people, no wonder the old man specially ordered this summer banquet for this girl!

It's just that such a person can be used by the master?

Jiang Shi was faintly worried in his heart, and suddenly lost interest in talking to her, and casually said a few words to Mu Yanqing and asked people to take her to the garden first, and when the guests arrived, the summer banquet began.

Mu Yanqing followed his subordinates to the Tang family's garden, there was a stone pavilion in the garden, and some girls' families gathered in the stone pavilion, tables and chairs were also placed outside, and all kinds of refreshments were prepared early in the morning.

Mu Yanqing is not familiar with these girls in Beijing, and she doesn't want to join them, in her eyes, these people are just like her at the beginning, carefree, and even naΓ―ve and a little stupid, such people are not good for what she wants to do at all.

She sent the Tang family's subordinates and walked around the garden alone.

Today was her first time attending a banquet, and she didn't bring incense for fear of making a joke at the banquet.

She thought that even if she made a joke, let her make it alone, anyway, she was a servant in the eyes of others, and she had just said that she hadn't learned the etiquette of the family, so even if she made a joke, it wasn't unusual, and she wouldn't care.
