Chapter 15: The Plum Banquet

After Xie Zhen listened to Yu Jiuniang's little story of satirizing Su Yin'er, she couldn't help but be impressed by this frank and casual girl.

Yu Jiuniang also felt that she had told the story very well, and when she thought of Su Yin'er's expression when they left, she was even more happy, and only smiled: "Sister Zhen, did you just see Miss Su's expression?" Tsk, her face stinks! It's longer than the horse! ā€

Xie Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Miss Su must be very angry, to be honest, I was really afraid that my sister would fight with her if you didn't agree with her." ā€

Yu Jiuniang pursed her lips, but she didn't hide it, and said very calmly: "To be honest, I did think so just now, but fortunately you stopped me, and then I thought about it carefully, just like you said, it's really not worth it to be angry with the beast." ā€

Xie Hao smiled very happily: "If my sister can think like this often, she will definitely be able to avoid a lot of trouble." ā€

Yu Jiuniang was a little embarrassed and said, "Let my sister see the joke today." I've always had a very quick temper, and if you make my sister unhappy because of this, you must bring it up, I'm most afraid that others will hide their thoughts tightly. First, I can't guess, and secondly, I guess and guess, wouldn't I be tired and panicked. ā€

This is true. Xie Hao nodded in agreement, "Sister, don't worry, I'm not someone who can hide words in my heart." ā€

Yu Jiuniang was overjoyed and said: "That's fine, you and I are the most relaxed to go straight." Sister, you don't know, the young ladies in the capital, all of them have flowers and bowels in their stomachs, and they seem to be delicate and delicate, but in fact they are not good stubble, well, the Miss Su we just saw is also one of them. I don't like to interact with them on a regular basis. ā€

As she spoke, the conversation box couldn't be closed, and she sighed again and said: "Alas, in fact, I didn't want to come to this plum blossom banquet originally, and I had already thought about waiting until today to pretend to have a stomachache or something, but it was my sister-in-law who asked me to accompany you well, so I came." ā€

Xie Zhen hurriedly said: "I didn't know the details of this. I didn't expect to bring my sister tired, and I made my sister angry today. ā€

When Yu Jiuniang heard her say this, she knew that she was thinking too much, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not complaining about Sister Zhen. The reason why I say this is just to show that I don't fit in with those young ladies, sister, don't get me wrong. You know, I'm so glad I met you today! ā€

Xie Zhen smiled: "I know, sister doesn't have to bother to explain." ā€

Yu Jiuniang looked at her carefully. Seeing that she really didn't look unhappy, her mood couldn't help but become brighter, and she just thought that she must treat this well-behaved sister better in the future.

There have been many ladies from Beijing in the Imperial Garden.

Xie Zhen looked around, and sure enough, she saw that every noble girl was carefully dressed, either playful or demure, in short, they were all very moving.

Some of the nobles who have a good relationship are talking and laughing in one place, and the individual noblewomen who are cold and unsociable are sitting under the plum blossoms, with willow eyebrows and autumn water, and their bodies are full of poetry of sadness and sadness. It seems that this can better set off their dusty temperament.

"Look." Yu Jiuniang lowered her voice and said in her ear: "Although these noble girls have similar identities, they each have their own small gangs, and I don't want to provoke them no matter what, but fortunately, my father and mother know my character, so I have never felt sorry for you." What about you? Does Mr. Xie want you to blend in with them? If so, I'll take you there, though I may not be able to help you much. ā€

Xie Zhen shook her head with a smile and said: "My grandfather didn't have such thoughts, he has always respected my wishes, if it weren't for the queen's will this time, I would definitely not come." ā€

Yu Jiuniang also smiled: "Your temperament is almost exactly the same as mine." Well, but it's still calmer than me, haha. ā€

Hearing her mocking herself unhesitantly, Xie Zhen couldn't help but laugh.

Laughing and talking. Yu Jiuniang saw a person walking in front of her from a distance, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly pulled Xie Zhen to turn her back to the person who came.

Xie Zhen was a little inexplicable, and only whispered: "Sister Yu, what's wrong?" ā€

Yu Jiuniang pouted at her with some distress and said, "My nemesis has arrived." ā€

Nemesis? Is there anyone who doesn't dare to provoke such a hot girl? Xie Hao was curious, and couldn't help but quietly sweep behind her with her afterglow.

The man had approached. Xie Zhen saw at a glance the delicate rose-red embroidered shoes on her feet.

A delicate look. The extravagantly dressed girl stood behind Yu Jiuniang with a smile.

Because she didn't know Xie Zhen. Therefore, he only reached out and patted Yu Jiuniang's shoulder, and said, "Miss Yu, why haven't you come to play with the county lord for a long time?" ā€

was greeted by such a name, Yu Jiuniang couldn't pretend that she didn't see it no matter how much she wanted to, so she had to turn around helplessly, barely pulled out a polite smile, and saluted: "I've seen the county lord of Zhu'er." ā€

Lord Zhu'er liked her like she didn't like her and couldn't help her, and couldn't help but smile even brighter.

"This is the queen's private banquet, Miss Yu can be more relaxed, there is no need to be so restrained."

Yu Jiuniang smiled, and scolded in her heart: If I hadn't seen you, I would have been much easier.

When the county lord of Zhu'er was talking to Yu Jiuniang, Yu Guang was secretly observing Xie Zhen beside Yu Jiuniang, and saw that she had no other reaction except for smiling and listening, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "Who is this young lady?" ā€

Yu Jiuniang originally didn't want to introduce Xie Zhen to the county lord of Zhu'er, but since she asked, they couldn't help but answer, so they had to introduce: "This is Mrs. Xie's granddaughter, Xie Zhen." ā€

Xie Zhen bowed slightly, "Xie Zhen has seen the county lord. ā€

This is Miss Xie Jialiu? Lord Zhu'er narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtful.

The appearance of this Miss Xie Liu in front of her is really far from the charming fox/raccoon/spirit image she originally imagined. Anyway, it's too young, right? With such a small body like bean sprouts, the big cousin who can hook his heart is rippling? Or is there something that stands out in particular?

The county lord of Zhu'er pressed the unwillingness and incomprehension in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Xie looks very innocent, I don't know how old she is now?" ā€

"How old?" Xie Zhen said with a smile: "But this is really a big word, Xie Zhen never dares to be, compared with the county lord, Xie Zhen is not just a little vulgar?" ā€

It's a very good sycophant. The county lord of Zhu'er was disdainful in his heart, but still said patiently: "Miss Xie is humble. The lord of this county heard that Miss Xie is studying under Mrs. Xie and studying with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I think Miss Xie, your homework should be very good, right? If there is a chance, the county lord must see Miss Xie's literary brilliance. ā€

Xie Zhen smiled: "I just hope that I will not live up to the love of the county lord." ā€

Lord Zhu'er said again: "I don't know what hobbies Miss Xie has on weekdays?" Is it a female red? Or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? If you change the Japanese county lord, you must try it with Miss Xie. ā€

Xie Zhen's brows furrowed slightly.

Yu Jiuniang had already seen her embarrassment, and she was suddenly a little worried about her.

Why did the county lord of Zhu'er catch Sister Zhen and ask endless questions alone? Yu Jiuniang felt a little strange in her heart. Seeing that Xie Zhen was a little overwhelmed, he thought about making a sloppy look for Xie Zhen and messing around.

But I heard Xie Zhen say: "I'm afraid it will make the county lord laugh if I say it, Xie Zhen has never been an elegant person, and it is most appropriate to describe it with the word vulgar." I have never had any hobbies, but I have only learned the introduction of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I have never been proficient in it, how dare I show ugliness in front of the county lord? As for the female red, I don't know anything. ā€

As soon as these words came out, Yu Jiuniang couldn't help but be stunned. Even the county lord of Zhu'er felt very stunned and ridiculous.

A girl from a family of poets and books is so useless? Ya can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and vulgar can't embroider female red? How can such a girl find her in-laws in the future?

Lord Zhu'er couldn't help but say tentatively: "Then Miss Xie's cooking skills must be very good, right?" ā€

If you don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, female red, must be very good at cooking? What is the rationale for this? Xie Zhen smiled very politely: "I'm ashamed to say it, Xie Hao's ability to eat is first-class, but her cooking skills are poor." ā€

…… Can't even cook? How did the Xie family train such a useless girl?

The county lord of Zhu'er couldn't help but wonder if the eldest cousin was really interested in this Miss Xie Liu.

Yu Jiuniang really couldn't listen to it anymore, so she only saluted the county lord of Zhu'er indiscriminately, and found an excuse to pull Xie Zhen and left in a hurry.

As soon as she got rid of the county lord of Zhu'er, Yu Jiuniang couldn't help but worry: "Sister Zhen, how can you say that?" You know, if what you just said gets out, you're going to be laughed at? It will also have a great impact on your future in-laws. ā€

Xie Zhen didn't think there was anything, but she could still smile and comfort her: "Can I still deceive the county lord?" ā€

Yu Jiuniang was stunned, "Is everything you just said true?" Didn't you deliberately belittle yourself and elevate the county lord? ā€

Xie Hao nodded and said, "Naturally, it's all true, does Sister Yu think that I will wronged myself to befriend the county lord?" ā€

"But, but ......" Yu Jiuniang thought that she said that she didn't know anything, and she still felt incredible, "Didn't Mrs. Xie teach you those things?" Isn't that what every girl has to learn? ā€

Xie Zhen smiled: "How can my grandfather have so much free time? I was very content that he could teach me. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting grandfather, he told me a little, as for the embroidery girl to cook and cook, he himself does not know. Nature can't teach me anymore. ā€

"Then isn't there anything I can teach you in your house?" Yu Jiuniang glared and said, "When I go back, I will talk to my sister-in-law about this matter." ā€

Xie Zhen was only afraid that she would add oil and vinegar to her after she went back, so she hurriedly said, "Sister Yu, don't be busy yet." I just talked to my aunt myself, and it was because I used to be lazy and didn't like to learn, so I didn't let my aunt send someone to teach me. ā€

Yu Jiuniang heard her say this, thinking that after all, it was always a little unreasonable for an outsider to interfere in their Xie family's affairs, so she nodded and said, "Then you must remember." ā€

She thought of her hard work when she was a female celebrity again. I was afraid that Xie Zhen would not be able to endure the hardships and give up lightly, so I first made a psychological preparation for her, and said: "I am also a person from here, and I know that those things are not easy to learn, but as long as you take a hard time, you will definitely be able to learn, Sister Zhen, you are so smart, you must learn much faster than me, and I can embroider with you at that time." ā€

Xie Zhen actually studied female celebrity before she left the cabinet in that life, but later married into the royal family, and she didn't need to do it herself, so she slowly put it aside. In this life, she didn't bother to pick it up again, because she hadn't started learning yet, and now she heard Yu Jiuniang's interest in mentioning yƬ, and she didn't want to dismiss her interest, so she only smiled and nodded in agreement.

They got along as harmoniously as before, and from time to time they let out a few pleasant laughs, but the lord of Zhu'er on the other side stared at their backs with a gloomy face.

Su Yin'er, who had the heart to talk to her, had been watching from the side for a long time, and when she saw that she and Yu Jiuniang and Xie Zhen were talking happily, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and finally waited until the county lord of Zhu'er was alone, Su Yin'er thought about it, in the end, she couldn't see Yu Jiuniang and them, so she only gritted her teeth and made a decision, slowly stepped forward, and saluted the county lord of Zhu'er: "The county lord is auspicious." ā€

Lord Zhu'er turned his head to look at her and agreed lightly.

Her expression was very cold, as if she hoped that Su Yin'er would walk away quickly.

Su Yin'er was a little embarrassed, but she could still hold her breath and said softly: "County Lord, I just saw that you and Miss Yu were chatting happily, so I want to dare to remind you that the two of them are not as simple and kind as they seem on the surface, they are actually insidious and cunning in their hearts. I've already suffered from them for a moment of carelessness. ā€

Oh? Lord Zhu'er now knows her intentions.

It turned out that it was a leave to ask her for peace, and it was true that she wanted to find a helper. Or just want to borrow her hand to deal with Yu Jiuniang and them?

Scold! Want to take advantage of her? I don't know who is the gun handle!

Lord Zhu'er deliberately made a very surprised look, "How come? Do you know who the girl is with Miss Yu? The lord of this county believes that she will never do such a hurtful thing. ā€

The girl who was with Yu Jiuniang? Is there any big reason why it can't be found? Su Yin'er was puzzled in her heart, but at this point, she had no room to talk back, so she had to say in a very positive tone: "It is precisely because I don't know who she is, so I will never frame her." As for who she really is, I don't want to know at all. No matter how high her status is, can she still be higher than you, the county lord? ā€

That's a good thing to hear.

Lord Zhu'er smiled slightly, what a sycophant, let's try Xie Zhen with you today! Let's see if she'll show her fox tail!

She is worthy of being a member of the Dong family like Empress Dong, and it seems to be the tradition of their Dong family to be good at using people, although the methods of the lord of Zhu'er are not as clever as those of Empress Dong, but it is dangerous enough for Xie Zhen, who is unaware and defenseless at this time!
