Two days later, Brother Hun'er's illness was cured, and the people who served him also changed, Qi Xiangsi met this mother when she went to see Brother Hun'er, who was a young woman, who seemed to have just entered the house, looked honest, and took care of Brother Hun'er very carefully.
And in the past few days since Qi Xiangsi returned home, she has never confronted Qi Minlan, even Brother Hui'er is sick Qi Minlan has not appeared, I don't know what she is busy with.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet in Yueyang Palace's mansion has arrived.
This is the second time Qi Xiangsi has gone out to a banquet with the Gu family.
The last time I went to the Chengye Marquis Mansion two years ago, and this Yueyang Royal Mansion is more prestigious in Kyoto City.
is not a member of the royal family, he relied on the throne with an iron fist back then, King Yueyang is quite famous in the court, but people are not greedy for power, he is not old, and he returned most of the military power in his hand to the emperor without saying a word a few years ago, even so, the emperor still has to rely on him.
Princess Yueyang died early, leaving a pair of young children, King Yueyang did not remarry at a young age, until now the grandchildren are quite old, Yueyang Wang's mother wants to renew the strings for her son, not for anything else, just for him to have a companion in his old age in the future.
So those who were invited to go today were not only for the banquet, but also for the title of Princess Yueyang.
The princely mansions in Kyoto City are all the same, and it doesn't make a difference if they see more, and after getting off the carriage, they entered the Yueyang Palace, and they were entertained by Mrs. Guan, who came back to organize the banquet for her mother, and the sister of the King of Yueyang.
The guests were invited to the garden, Qi Xiangsi saw Mrs. Ming, the old lady who looked very kind, did not look noble, and waited for the two mothers beside her, sitting in the room and looking at the lady and the lady who came in to say hello.
"The lotus flowers in the garden are blooming well this year, you all go and take a look, don't accompany me here this bad old woman." Mrs. Ming urged everyone who wanted to stay in the house out, smiled heartily, and after everyone went out, she finally asked the mother who was waiting beside her, "What about the prince?" ”
"The prince is in the study."
Old Madam Ming frowned: "What study to go to at this time, call him quickly, and when the small banquet begins, let him and Yun'er go to entertain the guests together." ”
"The prince said that he was a man and it was inconvenient for him to participate." Mother conveyed the original words before, and Mrs. Ming beckoned another maid to come in, "Go, call the prince, if he doesn't come, even my old lady won't recognize me, today's banquet is for him, my good grandson." ”
"I should have gone to the lord of Hanshan." Mother helped her up and smoothed her back, "Since the prince promised you, he will not break his promise." ”
Mrs. Ming shrank, and she didn't understand her son's temper: "Find them embroidery." ”
The summer in the garden is thick at this time, compared to the banquet when he was in the Chengye Hou Mansion, the Yueyang Mansion is full of refreshment and spaciousness, it seems to be very similar to the temper of the host's family, and even the plate containing melons and fruits and snacks is extraordinarily large, for fear that the guests will not be full.
Gu took Qi Xiangsi and Qi Minyan to meet the familiar wife, Mrs. Wang only brought the youngest daughter, the eldest daughter had already said that she had decided to be married, Lord Wang was promoted a while ago, and now she is also full of spring breeze.
After the two of them sat down, they began to talk about the length of the family, and knowing that they were bored to sit, he asked them to go for a walk in the garden by themselves, and told them not to go too far.
Qi Xiangsi and they went to the pond, and there were many people sitting in the shelter in the summer heat, and there were people enjoying the shade in several pavilions next to the rockery.
When they were about to walk across the pond, Qi Xiangsi and the others saw Miss Lin and Miss Xu from a distance.
But before they walked over to say hello, someone over there stopped Lin Xiaoxiao, and everyone turned their heads to look, and the lord of Yunling County came down from the pavilion not far away angrily, glaring at Lin Xiaoxiao, his expression full of anger.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, why did you refuse the marriage of the Su family!"
"County Lord." Lin Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and many people heard this shouting in public.
The county lord of Yunling walked in front of Lin Xiaoxiao and glared at her: "Let me ask you, why did the Lin family refuse the marriage of the Su family, why, don't you want to marry your cousin, and now that the Su family has gone to the Lin family to propose, are you still unhappy with Qiao?" Lin Xiaoxiao, who do you think you are? ”
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her at a loss, her eyes becoming red: "I didn't." ”
"You didn't! You don't have to refuse your cousin, if you don't like him, why do you have to accept his overtures, now the Su family has come to the door to propose, but your Lin family doesn't agree, what is the reason! The more the county lord of Yunling spoke, the more angry he became, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes with a sense of hatred, why, my cousin asked for her aunt's consent for her, and finally the Su family sent someone to the Lin family to propose marriage, but the Lin family did not agree.
What is the Lin family, what is she Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a step back and shook her head: "It's not like this. ”
"No, that's how!" The county lord of Yunling was aggressive, and looked at her with a cold face, "You are used to this innocent appearance to make your cousin die for you, right, Lin Xiaoxiao, you are really shameless, if you don't like it, you don't have to be like this." ”
"Lord Yunling, don't go too far." Xu Wanting couldn't stand it, even if it was a reason, it shouldn't be like this.
"Shut up." The county lord of Yunling glanced at her, Xu Wanting's face turned red, and she was so angry.
Qi Xiangsi and the others walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side, and carefully saw that Lin Xiaoxiao's body was trembling, and her eyes were red and she looked very sad, if she really didn't care, the county lord of Yunling would not react like this no matter what she said.
"County Lord, this is still Yueyang Palace, what is there to say." Qi Xiangsi pulled Lin Xiaoxiao and made trouble in other people's palaces, and no matter how much her identity is, she will be annoying.
"Who are you?" The county lord of Yunling glanced at her, then looked at Qi Minyan, recognized them, and snorted coldly, "It turned out to be you." ”
Qi Xiangsi didn't mind that she couldn't get into the eyes of the Yunling County Lord, in normal times, she might not have bothered to say a word to Lin Xiaoxiao and them at all, Qi Minyan smiled lightly: "Yes, the banquet seems to be about to start, why don't we go over first." ”
"Lin Xiaoxiao, you make it clear today." The county lord of Yunling had no intention of letting people go, she looked up at her, very arrogant, "Since you have no intention of treating your cousin, why do you want to get close to him three times and twice, are you shameless when you do this." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and Xu Wanting protected her: "Lord Yunling, you can't talk nonsense if you ruin your reputation like this, when has Xiaoxiao ever approached Su Gongzi." ”
"You like to go to the guest house so much, don't you know your cousin's favorite dim sum there, and often go with your classmates, once by chance, twice by coincidence, then three or four times, Lin Xiaoxiao, don't be a fool for everyone." The words of the county lord of Yunling were bitter and mean, saying that Lin Xiaoxiao was deliberately close to others, which one of the daughter's families did not go out of the door before she got married, who would deliberately do that kind of cheap thing.
"I didn't." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, unwilling to say or look at her, hung her head slightly, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn off.
The county lord of Yunling snorted coldly: "That's why my cousin was deceived by you like this, and he was willing to do so many things for you, and you still treated him like this." ”
As soon as the words fell, a scolding voice came from outside the crowd: "Yunling, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
A young man who was about ten years old walked over, followed by two teenagers who had just gone to ventilate and report the news, Qi Xiangsi recognized one of them, the little son of the Imperial Doctor's family, with a look of justice, and his eyes were full of the meaning of watching a play.
Yunling turned his head and saw the person coming, and his face softened: "Cousin! ”
Lin Xiaoxiao only looked up, hiding the bitterness in her eyes, and there was some admiration under the bitterness.
Su Qi looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, and then looked at Yunling, with a stern expression: "Yunling, don't make trouble." ”
Yunling looked at him in disbelief: "Cousin, the Lin family is like this, how can you think that I am troublesome, she is not deceiving you like this." ”
Su Qi frowned: "If you don't understand things, don't mess around." At the end, he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, his eyes flashed slightly, and he had something to say, and finally he only said, "Miss Xu, I have to trouble you to send Miss Lin away." ”
Xu Wanting helped Lin Xiaoxiao to leave, but the county lord of Yunling refused to let her go, and looked at Su Qi: "Cousin, it's obvious that she is pestering you, why do you still speak for her." ”
"Yunling!" Su Qi's face turned angry, "You're still messing around!" ”
The county lord of Yunling was slightly stunned, her eyes were slightly red, and she glared at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Are you satisfied?" ”
"Yunling, don't talk nonsense here, this is the Yueyang Palace." Su Qi had a cold face, "Talking nonsense that people are not, what are you thinking!" ”
What did she think, the county lord of Yunling smiled in her heart, she liked him for so many years, she wanted to marry him, and she was even willing to put down her body to please him, but he was fascinated by Lin Xiaoxiao, and he had several disputes with his aunt, all for Lin Xiaoxiao.
But if they really became relatives, and her cousin liked her so much, Rao was looking down on her and finally admitted it, but the Lin family actually rejected the Su family's relatives, and the cousin still protected her.
She Lin Xiaoxiao has been to the guest house a few times in order to see her cousin, she is so close to her cousin, and now she still pretends to be innocent, and she can't wait for people to tear her face.
"Cousin." The Yunling County Lord's face also turned cold, and he looked at them arrogantly, "You can still bear the Lin family's refusal of the Su family's marriage, but my aunt and I can't bear it." ”
After that, the county lord of Yunling looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and snorted coldly: "The county lord doesn't know what the Lin family's idea is for refusing to marry, but if you want to marry your cousin again in the future, it will be wishful thinking." ”
Yunling turned around and left, and walked directly towards the exit of the garden to leave the Yueyang Palace, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was supported by Qi Xiangsi, shook her body, looked up at Su Qi who was standing there, her eyes narrowed, and she fainted in their arms.
After Lin Xiaoxiao fainted, the scene was a little chaotic, Su Qi looked at her worriedly, and couldn't go up to hug her.
"Don't get so close." At this time, Qi Xiangsi immediately squatted down to support her, reached out and pinched her person, Lin Xiaoxiao's body shook, and she woke up faintly when Qi Xiangsi pinched her for the second time.
Everyone was surprised to see Qi Xiangsi so neat, Qi Xiangsi asked Xu Wanting to help her and carry her to the nearest attic to rest
Qi Xiangsi met Lin Xiaoxiao twice in this situation, she sat there in the attic, holding a glass of warm water in her hand, bowing her head and saying nothing, Mrs. Ming had already sent someone to see her.
Qi Xiangsi turned her head to look at Xu Wanting, Xu Wanting shook her head, she went to the Lin Mansion to bring Xiaoxiao over today, and Mrs. Lin did not go with her.
She originally wanted Xiaoxiao, who had not been in a good mood in recent days, to come out for a walk, but she didn't expect that there would be a Yunling County Lord everywhere, and she met Young Master Su here.
Xiaoxiao's mood is even worse now, the county lord of Yunling makes such a fuss that others don't know how it will spread, in fact, even she thinks it's quite strange, obviously the two are happy, and the Su family also went to propose, why didn't the Lin family agree.
"Xiaoxiao, what the hell is going on." Xu Wanting sat down and looked at her, Lin Xiaoxiao's face was slightly pale, she looked up at Qi Xiangxi, and thanked her, "Miss Qi, you helped me again." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Qi Xiangsi saw that she was not in good spirits, so she went to the door and asked the maid to cook something, and when she returned to the house, Lin Xiaoxiao had already talked about the reason for the Lin family's refusal to marry.
Qi Xiangsi was about to turn around to avoid it, but Lin Xiaoxiao called out to her: "Miss Qi, this is not something that cannot be said. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao's body and bones have not been very good since she was a child, so she rarely goes out, and is protected and raised by the second elder of the Lin family and several brothers in the palm of her hand, and her temperament is also very simple.
Lin Xiaoxiao's only hobby is to eat dim sum, the first time she and Su Qi met was in Shangkezhai, but it was not as the Yunling county lord said, but in order to buy a box of freshly baked dim sum, she went a step late and was rescued by Su Qi, and later, Su Qi saw that she really wanted it, so he gave her the dim sum.
At that time, they didn't even know each other's names, and half a month later, Lin Xiaoxiao met Su Qi in the guest room, she came to buy newly developed dim sum, and he brought a friend over.
That time he took the initiative to talk to her.
Lin Xiaoxiao is simple and kind, easy to be shy and timid, Su Qi is a gentleman and polite, elegant temperament, several times in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes are coincidental encounters, since she was a child, she has not had much contact with boys other than her brother, she naturally has a good impression of him.
After getting along for a long time, she put him in her heart, Su Qi said that she wanted to marry her, and she waited for him.
"I later learned that he had made so much effort to get his father and mother to agree, but my mother said that Mrs. Su didn't like me, she just reluctantly nodded and agreed because of her son's insistence, according to her strength, even if I got married, it would not be easy to have a husband to protect me." Who is a father and mother does not care about their children, Mrs. Lin and Master Lin do not want the good family background of the Su family, and they are even more unwilling to marry their daughters and be wronged.
Mrs. Lin knows best what kind of temper her daughter has, even if she finds someone whose family background is not as good as the Lin family, as long as she can protect her and get along with her in-laws, Mrs. Lin is willing, but Mrs. Su's strength is known in the lady's circle, where is Mrs. Lin willing to do it.
So when the Su family came to propose marriage, the Lin family politely refused this family business.
It's always the children who are sad, Su Qi didn't give up after this incident, and promised that she would definitely think of a way, although Lin Xiaoxiao was cowardly, she also insisted on it, and refused to nod her head for a year, and insisted on waiting.
And the county lord of Yunling and Su Qi have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are cousins and sisters, and their relationship is very deep, she knows that her cousin is interested in someone and is quite hostile to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Xu Wanting opened her mouth: "No wonder you have been refusing." "It's been more than a year.
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her hand holding the cup tighter, and at this moment, Qi Minyan came in from outside, looking anxious, and pulled her out after seeing Qi Xiangxi, and said softly: "King Yueyang is back, and he also brought a comatose woman, Miss Zhao Liu, who was outside, saw it, and said that the woman was like Minlan." ”
