The two hundred and sixty-eighth round

Mei Sanniang was in the back kitchen urging the cook to cook, and when she came out to call Qin Ying and the others to come to the front hall to eat, her sideburns and neck were full of fine sweat, and her face was flushed, and she looked like a beauty who was overwhelmed by alcohol, which made Qin Ying unable to take her eyes off it.

Qin Ying climbed on Mei Sanniang's arm, pulled Mei Sanniang, who had no self-knowledge, and dragged her to the wing room to change clothes.

The hairpin lady and Li Chunfeng at the back tacitly agreed to stand up to Master Pei and support his sick body to move.

Mei Sanniang was in the same room as Qin Ying at the beginning, and she still twisted and refused to take off her skirt. Qin Ying hugged his arms and teased with a smile: "I'm not a demon in color, at most I can just take a few looks." As a result, Mei Sanniang glared at her fiercely, Qin Ying turned her head honestly, thinking that Mei Sanniang was not so shy two years ago, and she didn't know what was wrong now.

Of course, Qin Ying didn't know that she had also occupied a heart of others, and her inner monologue at this time seemed very innocent.

In the front hall, there was already a small servant who brought the food to the banquet, just waiting for Qin Ying and them to sit down.

After the hairpin lady sat down, she began to give Pei Lin cloth vegetables, Li Chunfeng looked at the cyan jade plate without a trace of margin, knowing that their father and daughter were very affectionate when they reunited after a long absence, so he took the chopsticks stretched out to the side and ate them elegantly.

Just now, the hairpin lady hurriedly saw Mei Sanniang, but she just matched the Jiao Niang hidden in Qin Ying's house, but she didn't care about greeting her, and now she was sitting in the same hall for dinner, she didn't care about the rules of eating and not talking, and Mei Sanniang took the initiative to talk.

Li Chunfeng remembered that there was a wise saying in the market that two ladies with similar looks would always be jealous when they met, but looking at the scene where the two of them intersected very harmoniously, he was a little suspicious of the rumors. Turning his gaze to Qin Ying, seeing that she was staring intently at the direction pointed by the tip of her chopsticks without distraction, Li Chunfeng felt that her little junior sister was really not an ordinary lady.

Generally, when a lady hears someone saying which rouge is good in the market, she will listen carefully with her eyes and then interject at any time, okay? And Qin Ying's face is calm, as if there is no wave in the ancient well, nothing to do with himself, what is going on?

Could it be that Qin Ying has never regarded herself as a lady? This thought flowed through his mind, and the silver chopsticks in Li Chunfeng's hand felt like he couldn't hold it.

No, he wants to let the little junior sister have the consciousness of being a lady and not a gentleman.

Qin Ying wears men's clothes every day, and she wraps her heart like Lang Jun, what if she can't get married in the future!

He didn't feel that he was in the perspective of his senior brother at all, and it was a little strange to worry about the little junior sister's lifelong events. If someone else knows what Li Chunfeng thinks, they can only sigh that the eldest brother of the master is also like a father.

The hairpin lady and Mei Sanniang are separated by a gap that is not narrow in the middle, but it is rare to cherish each other and hate each other. The two of them quickly moved away from the topic, all the way from the fashion of clothing in the East and West Markets to the banquet of noble ladies held every month.

The circle of nobles in Chang'an City is not large, but the nobles have frequent contacts and extensive contacts, and this invisible force is also amazing, as if it has become a second place for official clans to communicate or not.

At the beginning of each month, the ladies held a banquet under various names. Invitations are only for noble women, but almost all ordinary ladies yearn for that banquet that they can't go. Based on curiosity or admiration, there are many rumors about banquets.

When Mei Sanniang was a geisha in Zhonglu Pavilion in Pingkang Fang two years ago, she had already heard about the banquet of noble girls, but at that time she knew that her identity had nothing to do with it, so she didn't care too much. ”

The hairpin lady shook her head regretfully: "I haven't been there once in the past two years." I just heard from the palace people that on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, a chrysanthemum appreciation party will be held at the Changsun Mansion. ”

Mei Sanniang responded with understanding: "Now that Master Pei has returned to Beijing, you are also qualified to participate in the banquet next month, right?" ”

The hairpin lady lowered her eyes and sighed, and said helplessly: "Who knows if the eldest grandson's little hooves can still think of me after two years, and ask someone to send me an invitation." "Two years ago, she Aya was demoted, she filled the court as a maid, although at this time she served in the Hanlin Academy, but she was already out of the door and out of the circle of nobles.

What's more, this noble women's circle is not only to watch the door, but also to see the power of the father in Beijing. Although the family will not intervene directly, a simple sentence from the head of the family can make this circle crowd out all unqualified people.

Li Chunfeng turned his face after hearing this, gave the hairpin girl a look, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "If you have the opportunity to go, remember to bring Qin Ying with you when the time comes." ”

Mei Sanniang was still surprised how Li Chunfeng could connect Qin Ying with the noble girl circle, after all, Qin Ying's original fact that she was a lady was extremely hidden, and not many people knew about it, so she saw Qin Ying's face slapping coldly and putting her chopsticks aside.

Qin Ying frowned and said unhappily: "If you want me to mix in the pile of ladies in the face, it is better for me to pick more important tasks of the Ministry of Rites to do." ”

Li Chunfeng held his forehead weakly, thinking that the little junior sister was really helpless when she walked on the road of men's clothing. Ordinary ladies understand showing up as letting Lang Jun see her true face, but Qin Ying is the opposite...... He shouldn't have talked too much at the beginning, and suggested that His Majesty summon the little junior sister into the palace to pray for the prince! Now I regret that I have nowhere to buy medicine.

Pei Xiao coughed in a low voice: "If Qin Ying really goes, and the eldest grandson inadvertently sees her in the banquet room, what if she recognizes that she is eight or nine points similar to Qin Ying?" ”

"The banquet of the noble lady is not attended by parents and adults." The hairpin lady couldn't help but tilt her head and say to Aye, "What's more, the surnames are different, even if someone at the table suspects that she is Qin Ying, no one will believe her if she says it." ”

Mei Sanniang heard the whisper on the other side, and also opened a brain hole with a strange style: "Just let Qin Ying change into women's clothes and see if they look alike." She and Qin Ying have known each other for two years, but she has never seen Qin Ying's women's clothes, and every time she looks at her round bun face with a gray robe or a scarlet official uniform, she feels a little violent.

Qin Ying stood up suddenly, not wanting to stay in this boring antechamber for a moment, even if she hadn't eaten enough.

At this time, everyone's attention was diverted from the noble lady's banquet, only staring at Qin Ying, trying their best to imagine what she would look like in women's clothes.

Pei Lin and Qin Ying have known each other for a short time, so they spread out their hands when they couldn't think of it. Li Chunfeng looked at Qin Ying for a long time, but his mind was still blank, so he simply pinched his ten fingers to see if her women's clothes were shocking.

The hairpin lady was interested, and Mei Sanniang glanced at each other, these two people seemed to be embarrassed, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Ying's arm, and forcibly brought the stubborn Qin Ying to Mei Sanniang's wing in the backyard.
