In the guest room, the little maid truthfully relayed the words of the county lord. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Ai was pleasantly surprised, and her voice trembled a little: "The county lord invited me to participate in the flower viewing banquet?" This sister, you're not making me happy, are you? ”

The little maid couldn't see Xu Ai's childish spirit that couldn't be put on the stage, and she nodded reservedly as a housemother, "Miss Xu said that she laughed, how dare the slave and maid talk nonsense?" The county lord and the eldest grandmother are waiting for Miss Xu, please hurry up and pack up and go over with the slaves. ”

Xu Ai's eyes widened, as if she was so surprised that she didn't know what to do.

The little maid pursed her lips disdainfully, unwilling to look at Xu Ai's stupidity anymore, and said coldly: "The slave is waiting for the girl outside, the girl should freshen up quickly." ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

The ecstasy on Xu Ai's face dissipated instantly, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes, the county lord invited a woman like her who was not welcomed to the banquet, no matter how you look at it, this matter is very strange.

Her maid came over happily with a new set of skirts, "Miss, the second master is really talking, I just sent the news yesterday, saying that the county lord's attitude towards you has been loosened, and the county lord will invite you to the banquet today." ”

As she spoke, she helped Xu Ai take off her homely clothes, her eyes shining with excitement: "I heard that the guests who came to today's flower-viewing banquet are all the most wealthy ladies in Beijing, and the status of any one of them is higher than our prefect's lady, miss, you can behave well later, so that the county lord and the female guests can see that you are no different from those nobles." ”

Xu Ai was noncommittal, spread her hands, let Que Er change her clothes, then combed her hair in a bun again, and applied some rouge on her face.

After packing up, Xu Ai did not delay, let another maid stay behind, took the finch, and followed the little maid who passed the word to the second gate.

"Ai'er has seen the county lord."

Xu Aiying bowed down, and her movements were delicate.

The county lord waved his hand, "Miss Xu doesn't need to be polite. ”

Xu Ai was about to thank the county lord, and at this moment, a group of distinguished guests came outside.

The county lord hurriedly commanded in a low voice, "Miss Xu, come to me." ”

Xu Ai's eyes flickered, and he responded obediently, and then retreated to the county lord's side.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it was not the Qi family's grandmother Gu who was standing on the other side of the county lord, but the county lord's personal maid parrot.

What's even more coincidental is that the parrot is wearing a brocade smoky red jacquard gown with a white threaded skirt, which is very similar to the new clothes made by Xu Aixin, which is known as the 'popular style in Beijing'.

"Ouch, sister-in-law, you're here, please come in."

The county lord didn't seem to notice that his maid and the 'distinguished guest' had collided, and his attention was all focused on the guests who came in turn.

As soon as the news of Master Miaozhen's banquet spread, the Qi family's flower-viewing banquet this time was definitely a gathering of distinguished guests.

The families who received the invitation, such as the in-laws of the Qi family, the Zhao State Mansion, the Wei Yuan Marquis Mansion, the General's Mansion (that is, the Ma family), the Feng family, the Song State Mansion and so on all arrived at Qi.

There are also old friends of the Qi family, such as the British Mansion, the Weiguo Mansion, the Zhenguo General's Mansion and other families have also arrived.

In addition, there are some people who dislike the decline of the Qi family, but they dare not refuse openly, after hearing the first news in Beijing, they also hurried to Wenchang Hutong.

As for those 'refusal' families, they also came to the door with a cheeky face, and they had invitations in their hands on the left and right, and the maids and women waiting at the side door did not dare to stop them.

In addition, there are some people who have not received the invitation, but are well-informed, and take the initiative to come to the door - all the visitors are guests, they don't believe it, and the county lord of Qinghe can really turn them away.

The county lord of Qinghe naturally wouldn't do things too much, so he sent his henchman Qu's mother out early, and ordered her to screen the uninvited guests one by one, and then confirm their identities before letting them go.

For a time, there was a lot of traffic in front of Qi's house, and the frames of various regulations filled the entire alley.

When the eldest princess led her daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law and granddaughters out of the gate, she was almost blocked by the carriages.

Looking at the lively scene, the eldest princess's expression changed inexplicably: I really didn't expect that in less than a year, Xifu would be 'beautiful' again.

The eldest princess had sharp eyes, and clearly identified the regulations of the frame in front of her, and accurately judged the family represented by each carriage.

“…… Tsk, Ma is really capable, just a flower feast, and the guests are even more neat than the Zhengdan Kunning Palace. ”

The eldest princess is not a forbearant person, snorted coldly, and spit out a strange sentence of yin and yang.

She said this a little harshly, and between her words, she actually insinuated that the county lord was too flamboyant, and even the queen was not as decent as her.

If this word spreads, even if the queen is the county lord's aunt, she will feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Alas, this is also a helpless thing, who would have thought that the sister-in-law would be so capable, even a noble person like the master could be invited."

moved to a new house, and the yard where he lived was much larger, but Ning's was very unhappy.

The housekeeping power was taken away by the daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, and no one would be happy.

At this time, Ning's mood was even worse, she and the county lord of Qinghe had been a concubine for more than 20 years, and the two had also fought for more than 20 years, and they had won and lost each other.

Although the Ning clan lost more and won less, it was also an 'opponent' on an equal footing with the county lord.

Now it's good, the Ning family is not even as good as the wife of an ordinary rich family, and the daughter-in-law is disobedient to her, but after half a month's effort, even those shallow housekeepers and mothers have begun to deal with things.

On the other hand, the county lord, the daughter-in-law of high birth is filial piety and respect to her, and she has a lot of power in the family, and now she has a beautiful flower viewing banquet.

The gap was so big that the Ning clan couldn't accept it at all.

Holding his breath in his heart, Ning didn't dare to choke with his mother-in-law, and directly pointed the finger at Yao Xiruo: "Aren't you the apprentice of Master Miaozhen, our family is happy to move, and we hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends to come to the new home to warm the house, why don't you invite the master?" ”

It is also a banquet, and there are many distinguished guests in the west, and any one of them is a noble lady of the family.

However, their Dongfu was deserted, except for their in-laws, only a few small families who could not get on the stage came.

The more Ning thought about it, the more angry he became, and put all the blame on Yao Xiruo, "What a waste!" What's the use of tinkering with those crooked ways all day long? It's better to go to Jingyue Nunnery more often to say goodbye to the master. Hey, it's okay not to say it, I think about it, the master has been back in Beijing for a few months, why don't you go to see her old man? ”

This is not the posture of being an apprentice.

The eldest princess threw away the knife in her eyes, and Ning swallowed back the words behind her.

Yao Xiruo is young in the end, although she has lived two lifetimes, but the two lifetimes combined, she has not encountered today's scene.

was reprimanded by her mother-in-law in public, and almost took off the hat that she had so easily put on her head, she couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and her face turned red.

What's even more hateful is that she can't justify it yet.

How so?

Could it be that she and Master Miaozhen are only friends on several faces, and occasionally listen to the master talk a few words about health preservation?

Could it be that she used to use the banner of a master to swagger and deceive?

Ning's stupid woman actually asked her to go to Jingyue Nunnery, phew, Ning's Jingyue Nunnery is East Street, you can wander around at will?

The master did not expose Yao Xiruo's lies, which had already given the Yao family a lot of face, Yao Xiruo was self-aware, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to come to the master.

Yao Xiruo scolded her mother-in-law in her heart, but she still had to make a look of shame on her face.

The eldest princess couldn't help but regret it again, why did she fall in love with Ning's stupid thing in the first place.

What does it matter if Yao is Miaozhen's apprentice?

As long as she can bring benefits to the Qi family.

Well, even if the Yao family lied, it shouldn't be exposed in public by the Ning family, who is a mother-in-law.

The eldest princess really wanted to knock on Ning's head to see if it was swill or paste!

With a cold snort, the eldest princess said, "Ning, don't you want to go to the west to enjoy the flowers?" If you don't want to go, just say it, what are you doing with all that nonsense? ”

Ning was reprimanded by her mother-in-law again in front of her daughter and daughter-in-law, as if she had been slapped a few times, and her face hurt hotly.

Seeing this, Qi Huizhi, the eldest daughter of the Ning family, hurriedly stepped forward to hold the eldest princess's arm, and said softly: "Grandmother, be careful of the steps, your granddaughter will help you go." ”

The eldest princess was full of anger, and the moment she saw her well-behaved granddaughter, it was all extinguished.

Let's go, although the Ning family is not good, they have also given birth to three sons and one daughter for the Qi family, and these children are all excellent.

Especially Sister Hui, she is fourteen years old this year, and when she reaches the age of talking about family affairs, there are so many noble ladies next door, which is a good opportunity for Sister Hui to see her in-laws, and Ning, as a mother and a housewife, must also attend.

The eldest princess gently patted the back of Qi Huizhi's hand, "It's still my sister Hui'er who is the most intimate." Let's go, it's not early, we're half the host, and we have to help greet the guests. ”

Ning and Yao Xiruo both hung their heads, answered in a low voice, and then followed the eldest princess down the steps.

Xiao Qin and Jia Shu have not been silent, honest as a pair of quails, quietly following the large army.

In the hanging flower gate of the second gate, the county lord and Gu Jialuo were still welcoming guests.

The famous lady in the capital had already come, and the county lord secretly calculated, and when he felt that it was about the same, he entered the flower hall with the young lady of the British prince who had just entered the door, leaving Gu Jialuo alone to entertain guests.

When the county lord left, the parrot and other maids followed.

Xu Ai was a little late to react, Rao is self-sustaining that she has seen the world, and she is also dazzled by what she has seen and heard today.

Oh my God, this, this is the real feast of the wealthy.

And the ladies, all beautifully dressed and bejeweled, with a scent she had never smelled before.

and their manners and conversations, which are even more elegant than mortals.

Flowers are splendid, wealth is full, and today Xu Ai finally understands its true meaning.

Unconsciously, Xu Ai actually had a little inferiority, feeling out of place here, like an ignorant village woman who broke into the Heavenly Palace Wonderland.

Originally, Xu Ai also wanted to behave as well as Que'er said, but the ladies didn't even owe a corner of their eyes, let alone appreciate her 'beauty'.

Gu Jialuo silently looked at Xu Ai's stunned appearance, and secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart: This dismount of my mother-in-law is really powerful! (To be continued.) )
