Volume 1 Chapter 79 Going to the Feast
"Why did you invite me to a banquet in your house? I'm not a lady from a big family, I'm just a village woman. Mu Jinxi asked tentatively.
She is very clear about this kind of pickiness of big families, just like in her previous life, every time she held a banquet at home, all the people invited were local famous families, and without a certain amount of power and fame, let alone receiving invitations, even if she wanted to blend into the banquet scene, it was impossible.
Although the time and space were changed, she didn't think that would change in ancient times. She doesn't have any identities and status worthy of being seen, how could the Yang Mansion invite her to a banquet for no reason?
Yang Hui looked at Mu Jinxi's expression and probably guessed what she was thinking, and said with relief: "Don't think too much, isn't it because you made so much delicious?" My mother and the old lady are very curious about you, and want to see what kind of girl is with such a good idea in mind. ”
"Girl?" Mu Jinxi looked at Yang Hui with a smile.
Yang Hui touched the back of her head a little embarrassed and said, "That, when my mother and the old lady asked me, I said that you are about the same age as me, and then they ......."
This can't be blamed on them, Xiaoxi is so young, who knew that she already had a three-year-old son, she was obviously about the same age as her.
Although the women of Da Chu also began to talk about family affairs after the marriage, many of them got married at sixteen or seventeen, a little later than the previous dynasty, the folk customs of Da Chu are not as strict as the previous dynasty, and the restrictions on women are relatively relaxed, and there are very few children like Xiaoxi who become biological children at such an age.
And Xiaoxi herself doesn't look like a child who has given birth, that face, that figure, is clearly a girl who hasn't left the cabinet yet.
Mu Jinxi frowned slightly and thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll prepare a generous gift at that time, and you can do it for me-" She felt that it was better not to go, she had a hunch that if she went to participate, she would definitely get into trouble, she was too experienced in this kind of thing.
A banquet or something is simply a woman's battlefield, and it is very easy to provoke disputes between right and wrong, and her current status is also ridiculed for nothing, why bother?
It's just that she wanted to shirk before she could finish being interrupted by Yang Hui, "Xiaoxi, can't you help but give me this face, this invitation of yours is written by my own hand, and it's the first time." And I just want to invite you to my house to have fun, what do you have to worry about? ”
Mu Jinxi sighed in her heart, Yang Hui had said it to this point, and she seemed a little ignorant if she shirked again.
That's it, just go!
Thinking of this, Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "Okay, since you kindly invited me, I won't refuse, but if I do something to disgrace you at that time, don't blame me." ”
"If you really do something that will disgrace me, I'm looking forward to it, I'm afraid you won't!"
Although she has known each other for a short time, she knows what kind of person Xiaoxi is, although she is young, her temperament is very stable and assertive, her brain is smart, and she never panics when she encounters problems, as if everything is under her control.
Compared with Xiaoxi, she is really like a child, so ah, she likes Xiaoxi and admires her at the same time, and thinks that it is a great thing that she can have such ability and courage as a woman.
Not like her...... Thinking of what she does on weekdays, Yang Hui has a feeling of being faceless and relatively small.
How can the same woman be so different?
Mu Jinxi couldn't refuse the invitation of the Yang Mansion, and had to take a carriage to the Yang Mansion on the day of the banquet.
When she arrived at the Yang Mansion, the time was neither early nor late, and there were a lot of carriages and sedan chairs parked in front of the gate of the Yang Mansion, and the people who came down were all brightly dressed ladies and young ladies, and the difference with Mu Jinxi was that they were all dressed up noble and beautiful, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Mu Jinxi was like an ugly duckling who jumped into the pile of white swans.
"Who is this man? How can you be so shabby? ”
"Yes, it shouldn't be a distant relative of the Yang Mansion who came to take refuge, right?"
"No, I haven't heard of this kind of relative in Yang Mansion, look at her like that, she is very poor and sour, what kind of clothes are she wearing, and she doesn't even have a hairpin on her head......"
"I think Bacheng wants to take advantage of today's banquet in the Yang Mansion to climb relatives, right?"
"Possibly."
Mu Jinxi turned a deaf ear to the whispers around her, originally she had planned to buy a better set of clothes and headdresses to wear to attend the banquet, but then she thought about it and gave up, she was originally an ordinary village woman, so why pretend to be a noblewoman? When the time comes, it will be even more humiliating if it is exposed, and it is good to do so now.
Mu Jinxi held a jar of crystal bayberry wine in his hand, which was used as a gift. She carried the wine and walked towards the gate of the Yang Mansion without hurrying.
"This ...... Madam, today we Yang Mansion held a flower-viewing banquet, I don't know who Mrs. is......" The person guarding the door did not have a bad attitude towards Mu Jinxi because of her simple and simple clothes, and still asked politely.
Mu Jinxi smiled and handed over the post, saying, "It was you three young ladies who invited me here." ”
The doorkeeper opened the post and said respectfully: "Madam, please, the third lady has been waiting for a long time, please come with the little one." ”
The third lady had ordered him early in the morning to pay attention to the fact that the guests with the posts she had written by herself would be greeted in her courtyard as soon as they came.
"I'm tired." Mu Jinxi nodded humbly and followed the servant to the gate of the Yang Mansion, so that the people outside the gate did not react for a while.
The third lady invited ...... Guest? When did the third lady know this kind of person, and it seemed that she valued this poor and sour person very much, isn't there something strange about it?
The gossip was together, and the ladies and ladies were busy taking out invitations and walking into the Yang Mansion, thinking about going to see the excitement.
The third miss is a favored one, and she is also a kind person who doesn't care about her status, but the second miss ...... Exactly the opposite of Miss Three! What would the second lady do if she saw that there was such a poor and sour person in her house who didn't match the Yang Mansion at all?
------Off topic------
Everyone said that Xiaoxi would be bullied by the second lady?
