Chapter 139: Continuation
Hou Mansion is full of lights, there is an endless stream of guests, Hou Ye and his youngest son Xia Sheng stood in front of the mansion to receive all the guests who came to the banquet, when they saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion of Anguo slowly coming, they saw him lying on his stomach and said something in the ear of his youngest son, Xia Sheng turned around and hurried back to the mansion.
After the carriage stopped, Xia Xueer was helped out of the carriage by the maid, and then stepped forward to help her mother down. Mrs. Xia took this opportunity to whisper in her daughter's ear to introduce the few people standing there.
At this moment, a woman walked out of the mansion and walked straight towards the carriage of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion with a clear goal. Xia Xue'er was the first to notice her, just because she was wearing a jujube red Tang costume, and her demeanor was very dignified, but her age was not very old, and she was estimated to be twenty-four or five.
"This person is the Hou Ye's continuum wife, Meng Shi, born to the third lady of the Hou Mansion in Huainan."
As soon as the words fell, Meng Shi came to him, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister are here, they are tired of carriage and horses all the way, hurry up and rest in the house!" After saying that, he wanted to step forward and take Mrs. Xia's hand, but Mrs. Xia took a step back slightly to avoid the hand that was about to be stretched out, and instead stroked her daughter's shoulder and said, "This is your aunt." ”
Xia Xue'er stepped forward very politely to greet her, but she couldn't stop laughing in her heart. This Mrs. Xuxian of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion is really funny, her mother is the lady of the emperor's royal seal, and she has no name, just an ordinary wife, not only does not salute but wants to hold her mother's hand when she sees her; In the present, she herself is just in her early twenties, and she is a continuation, but she shouts at her mother one by one, and the intention of this relationship is inevitably too obvious.
"What a sign man! I heard rumors earlier that there is a woman in the mansion of the Marquis of Anguo, and when I see it today, it really lives up to its reputation! ”
Meng Shi didn't pull Mrs. Xia's hand, in order to resolve the embarrassment and show intimacy, he took the opportunity to pull Xia Xue'er's hand, looking extremely fond of it, and then his eyes fell on Xia Qiaoyun, who was standing aside in a regular manner, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, I hadn't heard that there were two young ladies in Anguohou's mansion before! Then he asked, "I wonder which young lady in the house this little lady is?" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xia's eyes were cold, but she still smiled and introduced: "This is the second lady in the house." ”
Xia Qiaoyun heard the other party mention herself, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Xia Xue'er. But when Meng Shi heard that Xia Qiaoyun was born to a concubine, he was not interested, he only smiled at her politely, turned his head to look at Xia Xue'er, and said enthusiastically: "Today's mansion is so lively, and the young ladies of several families have also arrived, let Yan'er lead you to play in a while!" Recently, the weather has been hot, and the lotus flowers in the pond are also blooming, and the scenery is one of the best in the city! ”
Seeing this, Xia Qiaoyun was a little unhappy. He only shrank back and stood behind Mrs. Xia.
The Yan'er mentioned in Meng's mouth is the second daughter of Jian'an Houfu, Xia Yan. Nian Fang was twelve, born when the Meng family married into the Hou Mansion, and now it has been promised to the second son of the Wei Mansion, the fourth young master Chu Yueze, and the wedding date will be in July of the following year.
Xia Xue'er responded with a smile, Meng didn't mean to let go of her hand, Mrs. Xia made a look, Gui Mama stepped forward and handed over the gift list, and Meng let go of her. In order to show politeness, the host family can not immediately open the gift list in front of the guests to see, although she is very curious about what gifts the Marquis of Anguo Mansion will send, but she can only endure this curiosity, and hand the gift list in her hand to the grandmother behind her. Only then did he take Xia Xueer and a few people into the mansion.
The red carpet was laid out in the house, spreading from the door to the happy hall, and now the team to welcome the relatives has not returned, and there are still people busy in the happy hall, and the Meng family led them into the door, but they took them straight to the side hall. A group of women were drinking tea and chatting, and laughter was heard in the distance. Xia Xue'er frowned, the Meng family wanted to justifiably borrow the light of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion to make a long face for herself! Turning his head to look at his mother, he saw that her face did not show any displeasure, and there was a decent smile on the corner of her mouth.
Just halfway through, a woman wearing a honey-pink silk yarn and gold silk embroidered dress walked over, and when she saw Xia Xue'er and the others, she didn't think it was an exception, but she looked at Xia Xue'er carefully with a pair of eyes. Everyone said that she was the best in the world in terms of appearance, and today I should take a good look at where she is outstanding!
"Yan'er, come," Meng Shi beckoned to the woman who was walking towards her, and the woman quickened her pace, and when she arrived in front of Meng Shi, Meng Shi introduced: "These are your second aunt and your third cousin." ”
Xia Yan heard her mother's words, but she also obediently stepped forward to bless her body, and screamed sweetly in her mouth, and then Meng Shi pointed at Xia Qiaoyun and said, "I almost forgot, this is your second cousin." ”
Hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, a concubine could also attend the wedding banquet of the Hou Mansion? This is not a banquet in her own house, she really comes and goes freely! Despite this, he still called "second cousin" with a smile on his face. Of course, she is not the only one who is uncomfortable, Xia Qiaoyun's face is a little red, she already has a strong sense of self-esteem, and now she has been humiliated three times and twice, and the feelings in her heart can be imagined.
"A group of little ladies are talking and playing in the gazebo, and the cousins finally went to the house, how can there be less excitement? Why don't you let your daughter take them to play? ”
"That's the best!"
The daughter is very good at looking at her face, and at the moment she knows that she has something important to deal with, and she is annoying these two little girls who are in the way, so the daughter proposes this proposal, and she will really relieve her mother's worries when she grows up! I was happy, but I couldn't be too self-assertive, so I set my eyes on Xia Xue'er, "It just depends on the intentions of the sisters?" ”
Xia Xue'er saw her mother nodding, and then said, "Then there is Sister Lao Yan'er." ”
Jian'an Houfu is an old house, and the trees in it are also luxuriant, and the shade of the trees has formed a natural barrier, covering the scorching sun, and you don't need to hold an oil-paper umbrella when walking on the path.
Xia Xue'er had excellent ear power, and she guessed how many people were in the pavilion based on the sound from a considerable distance, but three of the voices seemed to have been heard somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Suddenly, I felt a burst of force from the sleeve of my hand, so I looked down, only to see that it was Cuizhu who pulled herself, thinking that she had something to say, so she deliberately slowed down two steps, and Cuizhu approached her ear and said: "Presumably the sixth lady of the Wei Mansion is also here, this person is arrogant and pampered, domineering, and likes to cause trouble, Miss is injured, you should pay attention to everything." ”
