165. Chapter 166: The Hou Mansion Banquet, Xiao Jing is Killed
Listening to Jane's words, Xiao Jing covered her mouth and smiled playfully, "Look at what grandmother said, what is it that a gust of wind blew your granddaughter away?" The granddaughter is gone, won't she be able to see her grandmother if she blows away? How can that be good, what should Jing'er do if she misses you? ”
"Look, I just said a lot of this girl, what a powerful little mouth!" Although she complained, Mrs. Jian smiled sincerely, and felt that Xiao Jing was a caring child.
"The old lady has a well-behaved granddaughter and granddaughter, which is naturally enviable!" Liao Xiangyang was left out in the cold for a long time before she had the opportunity to speak, so she naturally wouldn't let it go, but she was smart enough to praise Shangguan Lanxue together, and when she saw Shangguan Lanxue being hung out for a long time, she thought that she had some hatred for Xiao Jing, and she was naturally willing to say a few more good words.
Xiao Jing couldn't see her intentions, but smiled playfully and pulled Jane's, "That's natural, it's enough for my grandmother to have such a well-behaved pistachio as me!" ”
Xiao Jing pushed the boat down the river, wanting to see what Liao Xiangyang was thinking.
Shangguan Lanxue pulled Jane a little unhappily, "Grandmother ignores me every time she sees Jing'er, is it not that you don't want Lanxue if you have Jing'er?" Shangguan Lanxue's performance confirmed Liao Xiangyang's guess even more, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Look, whose vinegar jar has been overturned? Or is the girl of the family jealous? Jane's words made a room full of people laugh.
Shangguan Lanxue bowed her head coquettishly and said nothing, Xiao Jing also chuckled, cousin's coquettish was really timely.
"Miss Xiao is not only skilled in medicine and versatile, but also kind-hearted and famous, Xiangyang has long wanted to get acquainted, but unfortunately has been suffering from no opportunity, today can be regarded as able to talk a few words, my heart is very honored! I don't know if I can often go to the Zhenguo Mansion to talk to Miss Xiao? "Liao Xiangyang is not only smart, but also has speaking skills, if Xiao Jing does not agree, it will seem that he is pampered and coquettish, and does not give Liao Xiangyang face, if it is spread out, it will also affect the reputation of the girlfriend, but Xiao Jing also responded with a smile.
"Look at what Miss Liao said, the last time the county lord of Ning'an got married, we had a relationship, how could there be no chance?" The last time Liao Xiangyang saw her, he just avoided her, didn't he just hear the county lord of Ning'an say that she Xiao Jing had a bad reputation and would be implicated if she got close, so Liao Xiangyang immediately regarded her Xiao Jing as a street rat, a character that everyone avoided, and now seeing that she is in the limelight, she wants to tie up with her at the same time as the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, which is really a wishful thinking, but unfortunately she Xiao Jing is not stupid, and she is not afraid of offending people.
"What Miss Xiao said is, I didn't see you take the initiative to say hello last time, and I thought that you were waiting beside the Queen Mother, and you couldn't look down on us small families!" Liu Xiangli saw that Xiao Jing occupied the top, and deliberately said a few words to please her, a few good words can please people, Liu Xiangli naturally will not let go, I saw that her smile was gentle and soft, and her eyes were also a little flattering.
"Isn't it? I heard that Miss Liao is not only beautiful and moving, but also has the blue eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, which is really gratifying! The old lady couldn't see such a person who saw the wind and steered the rudder, so she followed the words, and suddenly made Liao Xiangyang extremely ugly, she never expected that her words would make several people sneer at her, and she regretted it even more in her heart.
"When it comes to where it will be me who has won the emperor's favor, it should be Miss Xiao! After returning from Meizhou's meritorious service, the emperor rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, where is it comparable to us laymen? Liao Xiangyang was unwilling and immediately returned it.
"I don't agree with Miss Liao's words, the emperor is diligent and loves the people, and he is afraid that the Praetorian Guards and the people will be injured so that I will go to Meizhou to treat the wounded, and the accompanying Praetorian Guards will also be taken care of by the emperor to reduce casualties. Miss Liao really thought about it. Listening to Xiao Jing's words, Liu Xiangli suddenly felt that she was not in the wrong camp, look at this Xiao Jing, such a serious word was easily distributed to the people and the Praetorian Guards.
Liao Xiangyang frowned, he had long heard that this Xiao Jing was articulate and skillful, and now he finally saw it.
"Miss Xiao is too modest......"
"Where ......" said that she would not accept the top hat she gave, Xiao Jing pushed it without a trace, which made Liao Xiangyang feel extremely embarrassed again.
is always the master, and the old lady can't let the atmosphere be too embarrassing, so she instructed the grandmother around her to take everyone to the backyard to participate in the banquet, so that they can see which young ladies are here, and everyone can get to know each other.
Shangguan Lanxue pulled Xiao Jing to the backyard, at this time the guests were almost all there, if you want to say that the most special guest today, it should be Fu Han Che, the champion of the literature, I saw him wearing a lake-green robe, the breeze is arrogant, and his water chestnut face always has a gentle smile, modest but not humble.
"Look, who's that?" Xiao Jing pulled Shangguan Lanxue to joke, Shangguan Lanxue was also stunned, "He's also here......" Thinking about the painting hanging in his room, he couldn't help but blush, "I really didn't expect time to pass in a hurry, it's really a thing or a person, the righteous and awe-inspiring poor student of the day has become a nationally known literary champion today......"
"Isn't it great that the people you admire can be seen often in the future?" Xiao Jing smiled slightly, soothing Shangguan Lanxue', Liao Xiangyang's intention today will naturally not be so simple, now she is with the Queen Mother, it is rare to have a chance to go out, today she must have been signaled by the Queen Mother, presumably sent a lot of rare things over', it is clearly for Shangguan Lanxue, I am afraid that there are a lot of Shangguan Lanxue, so intentional, I am afraid that Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by.
Shangguan Lanxue sighed lightly, "How often do you see it?" Besides, it's not about falling in love, it's just about appreciation~"
Ancient women were always so conservative, and one side of the relationship, a painting, was appreciated by Shangguan Lanxue.
"That's the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, with a wonderful posture and a noble identity, and now that my brother has won the martial arts champion, Shangguan Champion will definitely have a bright future in the future! This sister's marriage must not be too low......" Several sons discussed Shangguan Lanxue not far away, seeing that she was beautiful and moving, smiling lightly, they were naturally admired, but their status was humble, and they couldn't even dream of marrying such a good wife.
"Brother Han Che......" Shangguan Lan Jin saw Fu Hanche standing by the pavilion from a distance, and made a gentleman's salute.
"Brother Lan Jin......" Fu Hanche returned the courtesy, the two of them also sympathized with each other, and felt that the other party's character and talent were top-notch, although Shangguan Lan Jin was a noble young master, but he was a righteous gentleman, without the flashiness of a young master in the city, let alone a villain.
"Cousin...... Fu Gongzi ......" Xiao Jing saluted slightly, smiling skillfully.
"Brother...... Fu Gongzi ......, "Seeing the two getting closer and closer, Shangguan Lanxue, I have to salute."
"This ......" Fu Hanche looked at the two Allure beauties, not knowing what to call them. This Shangguan Lanxue is as dignified as a peony, and Xiao Jing is as noble as a begonia, which really makes Fu Hanche also amazed, but he didn't expect that in the flashy city under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is also such an earthly beauty, realizing his rudeness, Fu Hanche's face turned red, and he immediately lowered his head to cover up......
"This is my sister Shangguan Lanxue, this is my cousin Xiao Jing......" Shangguan Lanjin did not procrastinate, and calmly reported the names of his two younger sisters and introduced them to Fu Hanche.
"Oh...... Xiao Jing...... Could it be that it is ......" Fu Hanche wanted to say it but was afraid that he would make a mistake, after all, there were many people surnamed Xiao in Xixia City, and he had just entered the aristocratic circle, so naturally he couldn't make a mistake.
"Exactly!" Shangguan Lan Jin naturally knew what he wanted to verify, and nodded slightly, "My cousin is a first-class imperial doctor in the imperial hospital. Shangguan Lan Jin was inevitably a little proud when he said this, a first-class imperial doctor, that is not what anyone wants to do, it is difficult for men to achieve this position, and his cousin is just a daughter of Wei Jiji, not to mention his superb medical skills, he is even more generous and benevolent, and now who in the Praetorian Guard does not say that Xiao Jing is a doctor who really serves the country and the people, it can be seen that she can win the recognition of so many people by being kind-hearted.
"Today is an honor, to get to know Miss Xiao......" said and saluted, Xiao Jing immediately helped "Fu Zhuangyuan doesn't have to be polite, today is a champion banquet for my cousin, I am a cousin who came to drink Zhuangyuan wine, I rarely enter the palace after Shengqing Wang is good, now I see Fu Zhuangyuan is really a blessing in three lives, I don't know when I will be able to drink Fu Zhuangyuan's champion wine, please don't forget that our brothers and sisters are ......" Xiao Jing's words gave Fu Hanche enough face, he is a poor student, The champion banquet he held would definitely not be attended by too many people, and he was naturally overjoyed...... There must be no fewer people~" Originally, he was hesitating about who to invite during the banquet, some people didn't invite him and said that you don't understand the rules, and if he was invited, he would say that he couldn't help himself, and he really didn't know what to do......
Xiao Jing smiled slightly and saluted, "Since you're here, let's be entertained by my cousin!" Let's go over there and take a look......" said and left, after all, men and women are different, and it is inevitable that people will be misunderstood if they are together for too long, and it is not good to damage their reputation at that time......
Xiao Jing took Shangguan Lanxue and sat down at the banquet, and when she turned around, she suddenly found a woman sneakily walking towards Shangguan Lanxue's courtyard, she was shocked, and she was about to catch up, but Shangguan Lanxue grabbed her, "Where are you going?" ”
"I've got a toilet, I'll be back soon, you can go and help your aunt entertain guests!" Look at that back like Xiao Anyi, what did Xiao Anyi do in Shangguan Lanxue's yard? Thinking about it, it is not appropriate to let Shangguan Lanxue know about this matter, otherwise it will definitely alarm her aunt and uncle, but it is not good, and now that there are many guests, it is not easy to publicize this matter.
"Well, come to me later~" Shangguan Lanxue didn't think much about it, nodded slightly and went in the direction of the Lan family.
Xiao Jing looked around at everything around, and didn't see the Jiang family, Shuang'er was in a special place for the maid to rest, and couldn't come in with her at all, Xiao Jing felt strange in her heart, and she still ran to Shangguan Lanxue's courtyard without hesitation.
Shangguan Lanxue is deeply loved by Old Taijun Jian, so even the place where she lives is close to her, if it is what happened in her yard, then Old Taijun must be the first to know.
Thinking like this, Xiao Jing suddenly realized that something was wrong......
"You're Miss Xiao!" A maid rushed to Xiao Jing and asked.
"Yes, you are?" Seeing that the maid's face was anxious, she came at a trot, but there was no trace of rushing on her face, and even her makeup was exquisite, with good rouge, good gouache, and no beads of sweat left by running in the corners of her hair, these people were really not at all restless.
"I'm the sweeper in the yard of the eldest lady, Miss Xiao Anyi asked me to tell you that she twisted her foot over there, the pain was unbearable, let you go and take a look......" The face was not red and the heart was not beating, telling lies, obviously taking Xiao Jing for a fool.
Xiao Jing nodded slightly, "Really?" With Sister Lao leading the way...... "There is a maid to lead the way, so nothing will happen!"
"This ...... I haven't finished what the eldest lady told me, so I can't leave, and I hope that Miss Xiao will understand. "The maid immediately rejected Xiao Jing, and it seemed that she would not go to death, which immediately deepened Xiao Jing's suspicions about this matter.
"What's the important thing that my cousin wants to hand over to a sprinkler to do?"
"This ......" The maid was a little anxious, and she didn't know what to say...... "There are many guests in the Hou Mansion today, and the eldest lady has ordered them to get busy, and they just happened to meet the slave maid, so it~"
"I see...... before the maid finished speaking, Xiao Jing knew what was going on, and she went around and lied, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing to wait for her Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing no longer paid attention to the maid, but walked to the backyard, and the maid patted her chest: This woman is really difficult to deceive.
Xiao Jing walked to the backyard, obviously there was no Xiao Anyi, frowning slightly, when did Xiao Anyi become so familiar with the Hou Mansion?
"Ah......h
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" The little maid immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Slave damn it......"
A basin of water was poured on Xiao Jing's body like this, wetting her, and her delicate and graceful posture was fully revealed, Xiao Jing was slightly stunned, looking at the maid kneeling at her feet, there was no one just now, and now a maid suddenly appeared, saying that she didn't believe it if she didn't come for her.
"Get up~" Xiao Jing was neither angry nor scolding, she looked at the maid like this, although she was trembling, half of the panic on her face was real, but half of it was obviously not so real.
"The slave should die, please forgive the young lady~"
"No one wants to punish you, take me to change my clothes!"
Seeing Xiao Jing take the bait, the maid was overjoyed, "Please come with me......"
Xiao Jing followed her quietly, thinking about what might happen.

The Hou family was busy entertaining guests, and a few distinguished guests were ushered in near noon, that is, the Shengqing Wang Mo Qianchen and the Rui Wang Shizi Mo Jingyi who had just come out of the palace, and Xiao Zhengwen, the prince of Zhenguo......
