Chapter 49: First Arrival at the Hou Mansion
Wen Yunuan and the others took the carriage and went all the way to Shujinghou's mansion, without saying anything on the way. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As soon as the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion stopped, someone came up to meet him.
Liu Ziqin and Wen Qiyi sat in the same carriage, Wen Qiyi got off the carriage first, and then waited for Liu Ziqin outside the carriage, and half-helped Liu Ziqin.
This action alone left a good impression.
Subsequently, Wen Yunuan and the three of them also got off the carriage they were riding, and then walked to Liu Ziqin's side.
At this moment, Yue Qing, the wife of the Hou Mansion of Shujing Houfu, also came out of the mansion, this Liu Ziqin is the wife of the prime minister, and Yue Qing naturally wanted to come out to pick up people in person.
"Mrs. Wen, you're here."
Although Yue Qing is said to be mean and sour, her image on the outside is still well maintained.
"I also want my wife to come out to pick it up in person, I really don't want to go in my heart."
Although Liu Ziqin knew Yue Qing's nature, she didn't have any conflict with them outside, so she still maintained her harmony.
"Madame is well." Although Wen Qiyi is said to be out of character, the etiquette rules are not bad at all, after all, Liu Ziqin is a girl from the Hou Mansion, this Wen Qiyi has been by Liu Ziqin's side since she was a child, and she has learned well.
Wen Qiyi greeted Yue Qing at the right time, and Wen Yunuan, Wen Sisi and the other three saw that Wen Qiyi had started, so they naturally followed suit.
"Mrs. Wen, where did these four fairy-like wonderful people come from, they are really beautiful."
Wen Qiyi has followed Liu Ziqin out to participate in the banquet since she was a child, and she is the only girl who has not yet been matched, and the ladies in the capital are staring at it, so they want to marry back to their son as a daughter-in-law, which is equivalent to getting married to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it will be of great help to his son's future and even the family.
Therefore, Yue Qing is no stranger to Wen Qiyi, but she is not familiar with the other three concubines.
After all, it is impossible for her to see a concubine for her son, and there are not many opportunities for Wen Yunuan and the other three to come out to the banquet, even if they come out, they are with other concubines, and they can't enter the circle of concubines, so Yue Qing just knows that there are three concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is not familiar with them.
"Madame praised falsely, these children should not be praised."
Liu Ziqin's face was full of smiles, of course, it was just Yue Qing's praise for Wen Qiyi.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go in, many ladies are thinking about you."
Yue Qing didn't answer either, and said to Liu Ziqin.
is also because Liu Ziqin is busy with Wen Shujin and Wen Qingyi's marriage these days, so she didn't come out to the banquet.
This is the first time of the new year.
Liu Ziqin responded with a smile and took Wen Qiyi and the others into the Hou Mansion.
As soon as they entered the door, the eyes of the audience focused on Wen Yunuan and others.
Wen Qiyi is beautiful and beautiful, Wen Yunuan has a refined temperament, Wen Sisi is flamboyant and gorgeous, and Wen Nianer is beautiful and lovely.
"Mrs. Wen, today can be regarded as bringing out all the ladies in the mansion, and they are hidden from people on weekdays."
The person who said this was said by the wife of the imperial envoy Cheng Li Xu, who did not deal with Prime Minister Wen Tianling.
In and out of these words, they are all saying that Liu Ziqin does not wait to see the concubine, and she does not bring the concubine out on weekdays.
"What Mrs. Li said made people who didn't know hear it, and they thought something was wrong." The wife of Cao Ban, the envoy of Anjun, who was good friends with Liu Ziqin, walked to Liu Ziqin's side and said to Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Wen has been busy with the eldest young master's marriage and the second lady's marriage these days, so where is there time to come out to participate in these banquets." ”
"Children are debts," said another lady, "and naturally they are not as idle as Mrs. Li." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li's face changed, and she couldn't hang up anymore.
It's also that what this lady said is too worrying, this Mrs. Li is a hen that can't lay eggs, and she is as old as Liu Ziqin and others, and now Liu Ziqin is going to handle the marriage of her son and daughter, and Mrs. Li still has no children, and it is also a good envoy, if it was someone else, she would have divorced her wife and remarried, instead of letting Mrs. Li put her concubine by her side like the imperial envoy.
Yue Qing couldn't hold back when she saw the scene, so she hurriedly came out to play a round, "Ladies take a seat first, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”
This Hou Mansion held a birthday banquet, and there were both male and female guests, even Wen Tianling was also present. However, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, let alone such a large-scale banquet, so Wen Tianling and Liu Ziqin and others are not in the same seat.
Seeing that the lord's family had come out to play a round, everyone naturally would not lose face, so they went in twos and threes and found a wife who was good with them to sit together.
"You can play by yourself, and you don't have to stay with me."
Liu Ziqin sat down and said to Wen Qiyi and the others beside him.
"Yes, Mother."
Wen Qiyi naturally couldn't sit still, but outside, she was still very restrained, and when she arrived at the banquet place, she naturally went to find the girl she befriended, where would she stay by her mother's side all the time? Therefore, as soon as Liu Ziqin said this, Wen Qiyi responded with a smile.
The main reason is that she has already seen Ling Yue of the Linghou Mansion who she befriended, as well as her cousin, Liu Xuewu, the eldest daughter of the second master of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Aunt is fine," Wen Qiyi just wanted to tell Liu Ziqin to look for the two of them, but saw Liu Xuewu coming and saluting Liu Ziqin, "I just saw my aunt come in with my cousin and wanted to come over to salute, but my aunt has always been surrounded by everyone like a moon and stars, Xue'er just delayed the time to come over to say hello, and I hope that my aunt will not blame Xue'er." ”
Liu Xuewu is the daughter of the second master of the Marquis of Jingyuan, that is, the daughter of Liu Ziqin's second brother, this relationship is still very close, and Liu Xuewu's words made Liu Ziqin very unhappy, so Liu Ziqin said with a smile, "You kid, you have always been a well-behaved and sensible person, how can my aunt blame you, okay, okay, you guys go play by yourself, you don't have to accompany me." ”
"Then I'll go, mother." Wen Qiyi said to Liu Ziqin, and went to pull Liu Xuewu, originally wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered what Liu Ziqin had instructed him, so he turned to Wen Yunuan and the others and said, "How many sisters do you want to be together?" ”
Wen Yunuan smiled and shook her head, Wen Nian'er naturally knew that Wen Qiyi didn't want to go with her, plus the concubine and the concubine were not in a social circle in the first place, where would she be so stupid to follow up and embarrass her?
However, Wen Sisi was a wonder, she didn't seem to hear Wen Qiyi's meaning, and said with a smile, "Since the third sister has been invited, then I will go with the third sister and Cousin Xue'er." ”
