Chapter 19: The Banquet
On the day of the banquet, Qingmei got up early to prepare clothes for Liu Ruoxi, "Miss, are you going to wear that dress to the banquet?"
"You can wear that, as long as it's not outstanding and not ashamed." Liu Ruoxi said with low interest.
"Then miss, you don't pick me for you?"
"Well, you choose!" Liu Ruoxi waved his hand indifferently.
Qingmei prepared a set of light pink gold silk jacket and a jujube red skirt for Liu Ruoxi, and a plum hairpin was inserted on her head.
After Liu Ruoxi freshened up, she took Qingmei to the door of Dingguo Mansion, and saw that Liu Xiyue and Liu Sewu were already waiting there, and both of them dressed up. Liu Ruoxi walked towards them, walked up to Liu Sewu's side and said flatteringly: "Eldest sister is really beautiful today. ”
Liu Sewu smiled perfunctorily: "My sister is also very beautiful today." ”
"Eldest sister, what kind of face do you give her? Look at her outlet, don't you know how to know us, don't you know how to dress up when you go out?" Liu Xiyue circled around Liu Ruoxi and said disgustedly.
"Yes, I think I'm pretty good, why didn't I go to recruit moths to wear such flowers, the second sister is really wearing flowers!"
"You... You wait for me". Liu Xi angrily broke his sleeve and got into the carriage.
If I don't think about it with you now, I will have you looking good later.
Liu Ruoxi and Liu Sewu talked for a while and got into the carriage, and set off with the Li family to the princess eldest princess's mansion.
There were a lot of people who came to the banquet, and the door of the princess's mansion was full of people coming and going, so the Li family handed over the invitation, was welcomed in, and led their maids to bow their knees to the Li family, "Mrs. Dingguo, the ladies of each mansion are in the hall, and the ladies are now strolling around the back garden, do you think you want a few young ladies to go too?"
Li nodded and turned back to Liu Sewu and said, "Sewu, you take your two younger sisters to the garden first, and I will visit the ladies and look for you later." ”
Liu Sewu took Liu Ruoxi and Liu Xiyue to the back garden, and now there are many noble ladies in the garden.
Wang Yao was talking to others when she saw Liu Sewu coming, and stepped forward with a smile: "I said, why didn't I see you just now, why did you come?"
"It's not that some people are getting up too late, so let's all wait. Liu Xiyue glanced at Liu Ruoxi with disgust.
"Second sister, how do you speak?" Liu Sewu was afraid that Liu Xiyue would say something bad, so she hurriedly stopped Liu Xiyue's words.
Liu Xiyue pouted unhappily: "Then eldest sister, I'll go find my friend!"
"Well, go ahead. Liu Sewu saw that Liu Xiyue went to find her friend, so she turned around and chatted with Wang Yao.
Liu Ruoxi looked at Liu Sewu and couldn't intervene when she talked to Wang Yao all the time, so she was bored and walked around the garden.
When Liu Ruoxi was standing by the lake in a daze, he was patted on the back, "Hey, Ruoxi, what are you doing?"
Liu Ruoxi turned her head and saw that it was Lin Qingyao she saw a few days ago, "You are also here, why didn't you play with them?"
"I don't think it's better to stay with them than to stay with them, by the way, are you okay now?" Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ruoxi worriedly and asked.
Liu Ruoxi, who was cared for by others, felt warm in her heart, and pulled Lin Qingyao's hand, "Thank you for your concern, I'm already fine." ”
"Okay, you scared me to death that time, it seems that you are really not in good health, just exercise more. If I go out for horseback riding, will you come with me?"
"Okay, but I won't ride a horse. Liu Ruoxi looked at Lin Qingyao with an embarrassed expression.
"It's okay, I'll teach you! Lin Qingyao patted her chest and said proudly.
Lin Qingyao's appearance amused Liu Ruoxi, and the two of them laughed when they talked about it.
"Who do you see who is the woman who stayed with Lin Qingyao? Why haven't you seen it? I really don't dare to compliment her clothes, and I dare to come to the county lord's birthday banquet in a rustic manner." He looked down at himself and smiled proudly.
"Who knows who? Now cats and dogs dare to come to such a party, and they are not afraid of being embarrassed. ”
Lin Qingyao pointed at the two of them angrily when she heard what they said, "You two keep talking about others, and you don't look at what kind of person you are, and you are embarrassed to talk about others." ”
The woman in red also pointed at Lin Qingyao angrily: "Who are you talking about? I said you Lin Qingyao don't meddle in your business!"
"You said my friend, I'm in charge of this matter, what do you do with me?"
The woman in red was about to go up to quarrel but was stopped by the woman in yellow, shook her head and said suicide: "Her father is Lord Lin of the Criminal Department, that is selfless and selfless, you better not mess with her." ”
The woman in red glared at Lin Qingyao and Liu Ruoxi. "I don't care about people who don't have knowledge." After speaking, he pulled the woman in yellow and left.
Liu Ruoxi looked at Lin Qingyao's grievances for herself, and secretly made up her mind that Lin Qingyao was a friend, "Thank you, Qingyao." ”
"It's okay, who made us friends. ”
"Who are the two of them, still so arrogant in the princess's mansion?" Liu Ruoxi pointed to the two women just now.
"The one who wears yellow clothes and her father Zuo Silang Zhao Zhong, her name is Zhao Lian'er, the one who wears red clothes her father is Dali Siqing Wang Yan in the court, her name is Wang Xuerong, don't look at their father's status is not very high, who let them play well with the lord of Jiahe County, but don't care, they are all bullying people who are afraid of the hard, next time you are more powerful, they will not dare. ”
"Well, I'm fine. Liu Ruoxi looked at Wang Xuerong, the cases of the Dingguo Mansion in the previous world were all handed over to Dali Temple, I don't know if Wang Yan participated in this case. It seems that we should pay attention to Wang Xuerong in the future.
"What's the matter?" Lin Qingyao saw that Liu Ruoxi had been staring at Wang Xuerong and them, and asked puzzledly.
"It's fine. "For Lin Qingyao's good, there are some things that she still doesn't know, and this is also for her good.
"Well, let's go somewhere else." Lin Qingyao saw that Liu Ruoxi didn't want to say it and didn't continue to ask.
"Okay, let's go over there. Liu Ruoxi pointed to the opposite side of the lake.
