Dragon Boat Festival, zongzi are fragrant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The weather in the capital is extremely hot, but it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for the festival.

The Dongqi of Wenchang Hutong is even more lively.

Early in the morning, the door of the house was wide open, and the little maids in new clothes were beaming inside and out.

The sun is gradually rising, and the guests who are invited to come to pay their respects are endless, and the carriages of various regulations block the alley in front of the Dongqi Gate, and several horses with excellent looks are tied to the horse stone next to the main entrance.

The steward of the porter laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was extremely excited to command the servants to welcome the guests, muttering in his heart: Well, look at this posture, it is no less than the distinguished guests from the Xiqi Flower Appreciation Banquet.

The Qi family has not been so beautiful for a long time, and all the top dignitaries in the central row of Beijing have come, looking at the once familiar faces, the steward is so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Nodding his head and greeting him, the steward flattered him with a little self-satisfaction, and invited Song Guogong and his son, father and son, into the main gate.

When he went up the steps, Guan Chengyi glanced at the next door and said secretly: You never dreamed that we in Dongqi would have today.

More than two months ago, a flower-viewing banquet in Xiqi invited the vast majority of the powerful people in the capital, and the remaining powerful people did not want to come, but they wanted to enter the door.

For a while, Xiqi was in the limelight in the upper class society of the capital, and even the slaves and maids under the door trembled.

The subordinates of Dongqi looked at it, said sour words on their lips, but they were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, and they also faintly remorseed, feeling that they had chosen the wrong master - they were obviously the sons of the Qi family, why was the scenery infinite over there, but miserable on their side?

Now that the ancestor has taken back the title of the eldest princess, Dongqi has once again become the target of the magnates in Beijing.

The steward is still a little proud, Xiqi is nothing, but he relied on Master Miaozhen to get a temporary scenery.

Where can it be compared to their Dongqi? With the eldest princess here, they can maintain the glory and wealth of a lifetime.

"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Shizi, pay attention to the threshold under your feet." The steward politely introduced the two nobles into the vestibule, but left Shou Chunbo, father and son, who had just dismounted, behind him and let a few small servants greet him.

Shou Chunbo Xu Jiye is nearly fifty years old, because he is addicted to pleasure all the year round, his body has developed horizontally, and he barely climbed off the horse with the support of his son and his entourage.

"Father, that cheap slave is clearly a dog who looks down on people."

Xu Shanli, the son of Shouchun Bo, is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not too old, but he already has the demeanor of a father, his body is obese, his movements are slow, and his eyes are a little cloudy due to wine.

He stared at the steward indignantly, squeezing a word out of his teeth.

"Big brother, ban." Xu Shanren easily got his father off the horse, and he was sweating, and after listening to his eldest brother's complaints, he couldn't help but change his face.

How did Big Brother become like this? Standing in front of the gate of Dongqi and scolding other people's slaves and maids, their father and son are here to form a good relationship, not to pull hatred.

"Am I not right? That guy clearly saw us, but deliberately turned around and left, sending a few cubs who couldn't get on the table to deal with us. ”

Xu Shanli was not a good-tempered person, but now he was robbed by his younger brother again, and he became more and more annoyed, and scolded angrily: "When I saw Song Guogong, I licked my face to flatter, and when I saw us, I just-"

Xu Shanren listened to the eldest brother more and more he said, and the 'little cub' in his mouth had already greeted the three of them, father and son.

In order not to cause any trouble to the eldest brother, Xu Shanren quickly pinched his father's wrist.

Xu Jiye glanced at Xu Shanli and said coldly: "We are here to celebrate our birthday, not to be angry with our subordinates, what, do you still think that a quarrel with that slave can make people look down on you?!" ”

The Guogong Mansion was originally more noble than the Bo Mansion, and the Song Guogong was still a hereditary title, and he was in contact with the Four Great Mansions, and he was also one of the few people in Beijing.

On the other hand, their Shouchun Bofu is the lowest lord of Daqi, when the ancestor Longen, the fifth generation of the Xu family was glorious, his Shouchun Bo is also the fourth generation, and his son is the last, and in another thirty or fifty years, the Xu family will be extinct in the upper class society of the capital.

Such a doomed family, like a small sampan in the sea, how can it be compared with an ocean-going treasure ship like Song Guogong?

Xu Shanli was not convinced, he didn't dare to confess to his father, so he endured it, but his face was not very good-looking.

Xu Shanren sighed in his heart, his father was addicted to pleasure, his eldest brother was becoming more and more unreliable, and the Xu family had gone downhill.

In front of the hanging flower door on the other side, Yao Xiruo led a few housekeepers and mothers, and greeted the daughters of each family with a smile.

She was originally an active person, but now she is living a new life, and she has a house fighting system as a plug-in, and she has become more and more exquisite.

No matter which lady or lady it is, Yao Xiruo can deal with it decently, and after being busy for half an hour, he has been praised by many people.

The ladies who originally disliked Yao Xiruo because of the rumors, seeing that she was so thoughtful and clever, they also temporarily suppressed their prejudices, although they couldn't be heartless, but at least they could smile back, and there was no sneering.

However, there are exceptions, and when Yao Xiruo was secretly proud of his perfect performance today, he found fault.

"What about your mother? On today's happy day, how can you, a bride who has just passed the door, entertain alone? ”

It was a dignified woman of nearly fifty years old, dressed in a pale gown painted with gold flowers painted in the new moon, a twelve-painted Hunan skirt in lake blue, and a thumb-thick ruby red gold bracelet on her wrist.

Because the woman was old, her hair was not as thick as when she was young, so she wore a gold thread? The bun, the bun is surrounded by red gold inlaid treasures of sideburns, flower hairpins, etc., with her silver plate-like face, it looks very rich and blessed.

"Son, please aunt,"

Yao Xiruo recognized that this woman was not someone else, but her mother-in-law Ning's sister-in-law, King Fu's step-concubine Daning.

A hint of boredom flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal, smiling and curtling her knees, "So that my aunt knows that my mother has been feeling a little unwell in recent days, and the imperial doctor and the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall have repeatedly told her to live and recuperate, and my mother is also afraid of illness, so she specially instructed her son to entertain all the distinguished guests and parents on her behalf." ”

"Sick? Your mother has always been in good health, why has she been sick from time to time in the past two years? ”

Daning's words were very polite, and the implication was that he suspected that if Yao Xi was a broom star, Ning's illness was also caused by her.

At that time, there were still some female guests around who had not gone far, and after listening to Daning's words, they couldn't help but slow down.

Yao Xiruo felt the inquiring or mocking gaze of everyone, and became more and more annoyed, but he still had to maintain a perfect smile on his face: "What my aunt said is that there have been many twists and turns in the family in the past two years, and my mother has to be filial to the eldest princess, and she has to preside over the middle feed, and she depends on her alone inside and out, and she has worked too hard-" Then she was tired and sick.

Although Yao Xiruo didn't want to help that stupid mother-in-law brush up on praise, she had to do it, otherwise the Daning clan would really give her a 'broom star' notoriety.

Daning's person, Yao Xiruo had dealt with her in his previous life, and it was definitely not a good thing.

But...... Yao Xiruo suddenly remembered something, if she remembered correctly, in a few months, 'that incident' would come out, and the Daning clan related to it, well, could take advantage of it.

Yao Xiruo smiled with a standard smile, and dealt with the Daning clan without leaking, but began to plan in his heart.

The Daning clan picked a few stubbles, but Yao Xiruo blocked them back unhurriedly, and he didn't feel a little depressed. But thinking about the purpose of the day, she still endured, stiffened a well-maintained face, and turned into the inner courtyard.

Several daughters-in-law hurriedly followed, and the princess who took the lead gave Yao Xiruo an apologetic look in a hurry.

"She's a good person, but it's a pity that she married the wrong person!"

Yao Xiruo looked at the bunch of ladies in King Fu's mansion and sighed, but quickly threw the princess aside and continued to greet and entertain the distinguished guests.

The eldest princess's birthday banquet was extremely grand, all the dignitaries who could come from Beijing were present, and the lords, clans, and courtiers on the male side gathered, which was even more lively than the court meeting.

The royal ladies and nobles of the family gather here, the clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are shadows, and the flowers are full of flowers and wealth.

The eldest princess was very happy, on the right hand side sat the lady of the British Mansion, on the left hand side sat the old mother of Ji Boyan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and all around were surrounded by first-class noblewomen, everyone congratulated the eldest princess on her birthday, and all kinds of auspicious words were scattered like money.

Qing Er's wife, Xiao Qin, two daughters-in-law, and a daughter sat quietly in the corner.

Dongqi was in charge of hospitality, but it was Yao and the eldest lady Qi Huizhi.

The ladies sitting there were not fools, and when they saw this scene, they all knew in their hearts: it seems that Dongqi's middle feed has to fall on Yao Xiruo's head.

Thanks to the rumors, Yao Xiruo has had a very bad life in the past two months, whether she goes out or goes home, she has been squeezed and looked down upon by others, and her reputation has fallen to the bottom, and even the Zhao Guogong Mansion is quite dissatisfied with her.

However, after today's birthday banquet, no matter what the ladies thought in their hearts, they were extremely polite to her on the surface, and some down-and-out noble ladies even took the initiative to come up and slap Yao Xiruo.

It's still the same sentence, in the face of power, everything is scum!

At that time, Pingyang and Yongjia did such vicious things, and no one in the capital scolded 'poisonous women' and 'sluts' behind their backs, but when they met them in person, they still had to smile at each other, and sometimes they even had to please.

Rights, as expected, are a good thing. Yao Xiruo secretly clenched her fists, and was even more determined in her 'plan'!

……

Thousands of miles away, there are also people planning in secret.

"Anayi, is this—this method possible?" After listening to Zhu's plan, Ah Zhuo asked with some uncertainty.

"Why not? Ah Zhuo, don't worry, she doesn't understand our customs here anyway," Zhu said with great confidence.

Ah Zhuo frowned and asked a question: "That woman doesn't understand, but the woman surnamed Duan next to her does." ”

There was a hint of cruelty in Zhu's smile, and he said firmly: "Duan's just knows too much, so he understands what kind of things to say and what not to say." ”

The Duan family has a pair of children, as long as they hold them, they will hold the Duan family's life.

Without Duan's side to mention it, Gu Jialuo is blind and deaf, and it couldn't be easier to clean up!
