Chapter 138: Rivals in Love Appear
With her fiancé, so far, Hong Qi has not felt any difference, and life is going on.
The only difference is that every now and then, something will be sent from the Taishifu, and sometimes, there will be a letter with it. Gu Fei's letters are quite few and short, and they are basically greetings. It's the old county lord's letter, which is very long, some ask what Hongqi has done, and some say what she has done today, chattering and writing a lot.
Hong Qi also wrote a reply, but it was basically very short, and she was not used to reporting everything to others. But even this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the old county lord.
Hong Qi was also invited by the old county lord to visit the Taishi Mansion once or twice, Gu Fei has always been gentle and considerate, but this gentleness and thoughtfulness is not more special than his gentleness and consideration for others.
However, the old lady and the old county lord showed unusual enthusiasm, and they were all so enthusiastic that Hong Qi felt a little strange. When they met for the first time, the old county lord held Hong Qi's hand and looked at her, rejoicing and wiping tears. Although the old lady is not like the old county lord, her eyes are so turbulent when she looks at Hong Qi, it is difficult for Hong Qi not to find out. Although no one wants to be hated, being too enthusiastic can also make people a little maladjusted.
She once asked Gu Fei in private, and Gu Fei only said that she would naturally know when the time came, and there was no need to be in a hurry.
Depending on what he means, no matter what the reason is, at least it's not a bad thing. Anyway, what he will know in the future, Hong Qi didn't take it to heart.
Other than that, nothing special.
However, on this day, Hong Qi finally encountered something very special, that is, she received an invitation.
Recently, because of the engagement with the Taishi Mansion, the Red Mansion seems to have had a lot more invitations recently, thanks to the strong support of the old county lord. Hongda thought about the Hong family in his heart, in the end, he was a daughter-in-law and a stepwife, and it was impossible to be too conspicuous, there were always many considerations. The old county lord helped his granddaughter, but he didn't have this scruples, he spared no effort.
Under the active operation of the old county lord, the Red Mansion can be regarded as officially becoming a member of this circle and being recognized.
So, it's not unusual to receive an invitation.
Moreover, not all of these invitations are given to Hong Qi, and some ladies' circles are not something that Hong Qi, a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet, can go. So, quite a few are for a few wives. The recent outing rate of several wives has skyrocketed, and of course, when they go out, they don't forget to bring a few young ladies. Even the second wife has recently brought the red three out a few times.
After Red Seven, the ladies of the Red Mansion have also spread a lot of fame, and there are really some people who are interested in sending people to kiss. It's just that most of them are ordinary people, and their families are a little lower, or although they are high, they are concubines, or they have other bad reputations in terms of character, or they are not very good, and a few wives have not taken a fancy to them.
However, even so, the mood of the ladies was much better, and the eyes of Hong Qi were a little softer than a few days ago.
The old lady's vision is really good.
The seventh sister really has a great creation.
And this invitation in Hong Qi's hand is special in that the person who invited her is none other than the young lady of the Xie family, Xie Ruyun.
Since it is related to the Taishi Mansion and the Xie family, the preliminary information in the past is definitely not enough, and Hongda specially compiled a detailed information about the Xie family and the Taishi Mansion and asked someone to send it to Hongqi.
Therefore, for Master Tai and the Xie family, Hong Qi knows a lot more than before.
This Xie Ruyun is the only daughter of the second room of the Xie family, and the second uncle of the Xie family is very affectionate, and after the death of the original partner, he did not remarry. Xie Ruyun is very close to the wife of the third room, that is, Gu Fei's aunt Gu Yanxing, and it can almost be said that she grew up under her knees. Gu Yanxing seemed to intend to make Xie Ruyun and Gu Fei a pair.
Of course, because of the appearance of Red Seven in the sky, this matter is yellow.
Now, this Xie Ruyun actually wants to meet with herself? What is this for?
Red Seven smiled slightly.
I really didn't expect that I would have such a day. At this time, Hong Qi really felt that she was already engaged. This scene is really a bit like the eldest wife who was approached by the mistress, or the ex-girlfriend of the fiancé came to the door? However, this is ancient times, and the Xie family is such a family, it is estimated that Gu Fei will not have anything to do with this Xie Ruyun. It is impossible to come to it with a big belly, and the situation is much simpler.
"Miss, is it better to inform Gu Gongzi about this?"
The spring breeze is worried.
"Otherwise, bring more guards. If something happens, you won't suffer a loss. ”
Xia Xi also mentioned yì road.
The reaction of the Hong family to them made them cry and laugh: "She is a young lady from a scholarly family, or she still makes an appointment with me to meet in a crowded restaurant, what's the matter, she, the Miss Xie family, is afraid that she will be more embarrassed than me." What can I do? You are a good lady, a young lady is a hooligan? ”
Having said that, in the end, Hong Qi still brought a few of his best guards with him. is just not guarding against Xie Ruyun, and Red Qi is now famous. This time, seeing that Xie Ruyun was not good at pretending to go, she accidentally recognized some prodigal children, and there were few guards around, which was really troublesome.
Tianxiang Building
The place agreed by Xie Ruyun and Red Qi.
The owner of this restaurant is a woman, and the chef and the second child are also women, and it is one of the few restaurants in the capital that only does female business, which is very quiet and exquisitely furnished. The ladies of the capital also like to hold some parties here, and it is not too noisy to have adults at home. Here, there is undoubtedly a lot of comfort.
Today's Tianxiang Building seems to have been wrapped up for Xie Ruyun, and there is not a single guest in it.
The carriage of the Red Mansion stopped in front of Tianxiang Building, reported his identity, and Red Qi welcomed him in. A few guards stayed outside, and Tianxianglou did not accept any men, and the subordinates were no exception.
Hong Qi was led through the front building and came to the back garden. After passing through the path and entering a few doors, the faint sound of the piano came like a cry, and when I heard it, it made people's hearts sour.
With the voice, when I arrived at a courtyard and at the door, there were two older mothers, who were not dressed gorgeously, but with good looks and extraordinary temperament, they didn't look like subordinates at all, and the ladies of ordinary people were just like that.
The eyes of the two mothers swept over Hong Qi's face, and they couldn't help but show amazing eyes, but they were not like other people who saw Hong Qi for the first time, and they wouldn't move when they stayed. But after staying for a little longer, I finally turned around. politely invited Hong Qi in, and there was no half a point of rudeness. Although the grievances and dissatisfaction in their hearts can be seen in their eyes.
This style of upbringing is worthy of the Xie family, which is famous for being a family of etiquette. It is said that even one of the Xie family's dogs understands etiquette, and it really lives up to its reputation.
In the garden, Hong Qi saw the legendary Xie Ruyun.
In terms of appearance, she is naturally inferior to Hong Qi, but I am afraid that the whole Daxing will not be able to find a few who can surpass Hong Qi in appearance. However, her dignified, gentle and virtuous temperament perfectly interprets what it means to be a perfect standard of ancient ladies.
There are many outstanding ladies seen by Hongqi, Liu Ruyi's elegant and calm, Ximen Shuang's noble atmosphere, Jiang Lihua's graceful and luxurious, Zhou Zihua's gentle and elegant, Mei Zifang's beautiful and refined, Shangguan Rong's pride, Zheng Yuanyuan's Jiao, Gong Xiaoxiao's softness, Dong Yujing's charm, and Men Xiangjun's glamorous ......
Undoubtedly, they are all very extraordinary, but when it comes to perfection, only this Xie Ruyun can be called.
The way she stood up, her smile, the way she looked...... It seems that only the word perfect can be described.
"Miss Seven, I'm Xie Ruyun, you must have heard my name too."
Xie Ruyun showed a smile to Hong Qi, which reminded Hong Qi of the smile of the instructor during the flight attendant training, revealing eight teeth, no more, no less; Of course, the standard of ancient times is different, even if you smile, you will never show your teeth. Xie Ruyun showed such a smile.
Xie Ruyun didn't beat around the bush with Hongqi, but he was definitely not in a hurry. She was so dignified and unhurried to say what she meant. Of course, before that, she invited Hongqi to tea.
"I know that Miss Seven is now engaged to Cousin Scarlet. Still, does Miss Seven know? My cousin and I also have a verbal marriage contract. This cognition, the Taishi Mansion and our Gu family reached a consensus a long time ago. My cousin and I both know about this. ”
Now, the old lady has changed her mind for some reason and let Cousin Scarlet get engaged to Miss Seven. In this regard, the elders of the Xie family were very displeased. This is very detrimental to Cousin's future. Even, it is very likely that Cousin Scarlet will never have the opportunity to serve the court again in the future. I think, Miss Seven, you don't want to ruin your cousin's future because of your marriage, right? ”
"The same is true for me, and in this respect, I have the same heart as Miss Seven. Therefore, for the sake of Cousin Scarlet's future, for the future of Taishifu, I have a mention yì, and I hope that Miss Seven can accept it. ”
"Let's just let the two of us work together to emulate the story of Empress E's daughter, how about it?"
Xie Ruyun held Hong Qi's hand and looked at her sincerely. 's sincere gaze made Hong Qi, a person who had studied acting, unable to see any hypocrisy in it.
If you heard it right, this proud daughter of the Xie family, a noble daughter with both talents and appearances, actually wants to work with her for a husband?
Gu Fei, is it so sought-after?
Relying solely on his identity as the son of the Taishi Mansion, he can't afford to be such a low level for Miss Xie. It's the prince, and I can't get it if I want to ask Miss Xie.
That is, does this Miss Xie really love Gu Fei so much? Love so much that you are willing to wronged yourself and work with others, and you want to marry into the Gu family?
It's another woman with a broken head.
Hong Qi really has no way to understand the thinking of a woman in love, although, she is a woman herself. can only say that love is such a terrible thing, which can turn a very smart woman into a fool.
Fortunately, Red Seven didn't get caught up in it. She's not a fool yet. Therefore, Hong Qi said categorically: "I'm sorry, my Hong Qi's husband can only have me." I won't share it with anyone. Miss Xie's kindness, I can only thank Busen. ”
