Chapter 207: Celebration Banquet (5)

Not long after the Wang sisters went out, the noblewomen that the second lady intended to meet really came together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhilan has reached the age of discussing relatives, and these noblewomen have sons in law of the same age in their families, so she is so enthusiastic.

A few people came a little late, and they didn't know the joke that the second lady's mother and daughter had just made, so when they heard that this was the princess's mother's family, they all showed a smile on their faces.

During the conversation, when I heard her "unintentionally" reveal her daughter's age, how could these ladies who were like fish in water in the back house not understand the hidden meaning. Thinking that after concluding this family affair, he could turn a corner and climb the relationship with the Weiguo Mansion, two of the three ladies expressed great interest, and the remaining one said bluntly with a regretful face and a little regret that his son had just decided on a family affair two days ago.

The regretful lady was not the tallest among the three, and the second lady didn't feel much pity, so she focused on the other two.

One of the two wives has the surname Liu, and the other has the surname Liang. Mrs. Liang's father-in-law worshiped the prince and young master before his death, and he was also the last left minister before Fei Ning, and the Liang family was also brilliant for a while, but since the death of Mrs. Liang, it has gradually gone downhill. As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Liang family is not as prominent as before, but the family background is still there, Mrs. Liang's husband has been in officialdom for more than ten years, and now he has climbed to the position of a second-class master, and he can continue to go up in the future and restore the family's former prosperity.

Speaking of which, this Mrs. Liang is also blessed, and she has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is seventeen years old and has already decided to be married; The second son, the fourteenth, is one of the goals that Mrs. Lu desperately wants to get married.

Even if the second son is not as valued as the eldest son, it is also the flesh and blood that fell from his body, so Mrs. Liang is still hesitant about this family business. After all, even if there is a relationship between the princess and concubine of King Wei, the door of the second room of the Lu family is too low, and Mrs. Liang always feels that marrying such a wife is too aggrieved for her son, and her attitude towards Mrs. Lu is a little ambiguous and lacks a little sincerity. When around, if it is accepted as a noble concubine, there is no problem at all.

The second lady also noticed her perfunctory, and suddenly lost three points of confidence in this family business, and was about to talk to the remaining Mrs. Liu again, but the eldest princess stepped into the Jade Pavilion with Xi'er in her arms at this time. She had to stop talking and stand up with the crowd to salute.

The lady who was set aside by her intentionally or unintentionally had already sulked, and the arrival of the eldest lady of the Weiwang Mansion just gave her a chance to take revenge, and as soon as the eldest princess finished saying "no courtesy", she immediately pulled Mrs. Liu and couldn't wait to surround her. When Mrs. Liang saw that her companions had gone, she naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so she said "lost company" and followed her.

The second lady was angry, watching everyone surround the eldest princess and the eldest lady of the Shen family like a moon and a moon, listening to the endless praises, comparing the embarrassment of her mother and daughter today, her heart became more and more uncomfortable.

The eldest princess originally didn't like this situation, but those words of praise for Xi'er were even happier than praising herself, and when she was in a good mood, she let everyone surround her.

However, in every scene of praise, there will always be one or two discordant voices. No, a noble lady with high cheeks and high lips and a thin and mean face exuded a strong sour smell as soon as she opened her mouth. "Yo, look at this little arm is tender, like the peeled lotus root, and the little hand is holding a piece of warm jade, right? Lord Wei's house is really atmospheric, and such a precious jade is willing to be taken out as a toy for the eldest lady......"

The eldest princess straightened her face and glared at her unhappily: "This is a meeting gift from the palace, and it is specially carved into a pattern that children love to grasp, and it is for Miss Shen to play." Why, this can also make you angry? Those who come from small families have never seen the world. ”

This noble lady is indeed from a small family, and she can only have today's scenery by marrying a good husband, which is not a secret in Beijing, and she will know it as soon as you inquire about it. A person's shortcomings are often the things he is most afraid of being brought up by others, and this person is no exception. Today, she was suddenly stabbed by the eldest princess in public, and she was so angry that she didn't dare to fight back, and her face turned green with a breath.

Her popularity is not good, there is no one who helps to intercede, and there are a lot of laughs and laughter. Mrs. Cheng secretly had a headache, but who made her volunteer to help entertain the guests, so she had to stand up again: "Look at my memory, Your Highness doesn't say that I haven't remembered it, the last time Miss Shen was full moon, I happened to accompany my husband back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and the meeting gift has not been given yet." As she spoke, she took off the hibiscus jade pendant she wore around her waist and put it into Xi'er's swaddling clothes. Children like beautiful gadgets, and I can only get my hands on this jade pendant. ”

The eldest princess's face softened, and the nurse who was waiting on her side hurriedly bowed and thanked her young lady.

Seeing this, many ladies like Mrs. Cheng who had never given a meeting gift also hurriedly took off the accessories on their bodies and gave them away, and all kinds of bracelets, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and other precious accessories were collected after a while, and all of them were held by the nurse on a tray.

Zhilan, who was in a better mood, led the group of little girls who comforted her back to Biyuxuan at this time, and when she entered the door, she saw the pile of dazzling jewels on the tray in the nurse's hand, and her eyes were straight all of a sudden. When I returned to my mother's side and inquired, I learned that these were all gifts for my cousin's daughter. Thinking that these treasures were all given to the children who didn't have all the teeth, my heart suddenly became sour and jealous, and I secretly strangled my wrists and violently destroyed the heavenly things.

It was the time of excitement, and Minyi's silent arrival did not attract too many people's attention. The eldest princess was wondering why the two hadn't come with her yet, and when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of her daughter walking to her side at some point, and there was nothing unusual on the surface, but the unusual silence revealed her emotional depression.

Did you quarrel with Ah Hua for the Jiang family? The eldest princess muttered to herself. It just so happened that the hostess of today's banquet was finally late, so she returned Xi'er in her arms to Zhihua, returned to her seat with Minyi, and asked softly.

After Zhihua hugged her daughter and greeted many noblewomen, it was noon, and it was time to start the banquet.

Xi'er's communication task today has been completed since then, and she was carried back to the unclothed courtyard by the nurse.

Plates of delicacies were quickly served, Zhihua raised her wine glass, and threw herself into a new round of entertainment. (To be continued.) )
