Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Banquet (1)
Maybe there is a coincidence in the world......
Zhao comforted herself like this, after all, she didn't think that Mu Yan would have anything to do with the Lin family, Lin Yuehe only had an illegitimate daughter, and there would be no second.
Pressing the surprise in his heart, Zhao gently patted the top of Lin Yun's head and said with a smile, "That's really a coincidence." β
As soon as the curtain moved, someone came in again, and it was the maid next to the Lin family who came to invite Xue Huashang over and go to the front hall to entertain guests.
Zhao said, "It just so happens that I'm going over too, let's go together." β
So the four of them went to the antechamber together.
At this time, the front hall is very lively, the ladies and wives of each family with their own outstanding daughters have been in the front hall to greet each other, the room is full of people born with gold spoons, one by one wearing gold and silver, extravagant.
When Mu Yan and Xue Huashang went in, it happened that Zhou Wenyuan happened to greet Lin with a smile.
Zhou Wenyuan is dressed up very bright and moving today, with a rose-colored skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, combing a flying fairy bun, and a jasper hairpin on his head is just right, and every qiΔ is very exquisite.
Xue Huashang said, "I'll go over first, and we'll see you later." β
Mu Yan nodded and watched Xue Huashang walk towards the Lin family.
Most of these people in the hall Mu Yan didn't know, she didn't dare to say hello indiscriminately, so she quickly found Mrs. Mu in all directions.
Old Lady Mu and Big Lady also saw her and waved at her.
Mu Yan pointed at the old lady Mu and smiled lightly at the Zhao family, "My old lady is waiting for me over there, I'll go over first." β
Lin Yun sighed with a smile, "It's so lively." He took Mu Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Your old lady?" Isn't it your grandmother? β
Lin Yun didn't know that Mu Yan was recruiting children.
Mu Yan showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
Zhao hurriedly relieved the siege, took Lin Yun's hand and said, "You child, what is the difference between an old lady and a grandmother?" It's just that the name is different, let's let Miss Mu go. β
Lin Yun pouted, let go of Mu Yan's hand, and said with a smile, "Then you will come to play with me later." β
Mu Yan agreed, and then hurried to find Mrs. Mu.
Most of the ladies sitting at the old lady's table were the wives of officials above the third rank in the imperial court, and when Mu Yan walked over, he couldn't help but cause a commotion.
There were several wives who were familiar with the Mu family, and they were really surprised when they saw Mu Yan, with an expression that their jaws were about to fall.
On this occasion, the Mu family did not bring the daughter of the long house over, but brought their children over, which is really strange......
Mrs. Mu looked at everyone's expressions, and there was a slight embarrassment in her heart, but she still took Mu Yan's hand and introduced it to everyone very generously, "This is our Yang'er's fiancΓ©e." He smiled and urged Mu Yan, "I haven't seen all the ladies and wives yet." β
Mu Yan politely bent his knees sideways.
Everyone seemed to have suddenly woken up, it turned out that this recruit child had been upgraded to a fiancΓ©e, no wonder the old lady of the Mu family wanted to bring it out!
Everyone speculated, afraid that a good thing was going to happen.
When the eldest lady heard the words "fiancΓ©e", she really felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable, as if she had thousands of small daggers stabbing her, and she was uncomfortable.
Sitting side by side with Mrs. Mu was the mother of Liu Chang and Liu Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Mrs. Liu smiled sideways and said to Mrs. Mu, "But it's a good day?" He turned his head to look at Mu Yan again, and said with a smile, "Well, it's really handsome." β
Mrs. Mu said with a smile, "The day has not been settled, Brother Yang is still a little young, I want to wait until the New Year." But Yan'er is well-behaved and sensible, I like it very much. β
Mu Yan couldn't help sneering when she heard these polite words on the surface, and at the same time felt that this atmosphere was too uncomfortable, especially when others looked at her, like looking at a commodity waiting to be sold.
But no matter what, she has her integrity, at least she doesn't look down on herself.
Mu Yan's back became more and more straight, and his eyes were confident.
After greeting a few ladies and ladies at the same table, Mrs. Mu got up and said, "I'll take Yan'er to say hello to Mrs. Hou first, and I'm not with you." β
After Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu left with Mu Yan, the table began to whisper in a low voice.
Someone stretched her neck and asked Mrs. Liu curiously, "That girl is the daughter of the Mu family?" β
Mrs. Liu smiled and did not deny it, "It's that girl." "The girl was only nine years old when I first saw her, and she was so old in a blink of an eye. β
"It's a sign of the whereabouts, but aren't they all rumored to have a bad family background?"
Someone else seemed to laugh and said, "Who will sell children if the family background is good?" β
"That's ...... too"
"Hey, speaking of which, this parent is really ruthless, I heard that he was sold just after birth......"
ββ¦β¦β
These people were whispering there, and it happened that Zhao was sitting at a table on the other side with Lin Yun, and Lin Yun's ears were sharp, and he heard it clearly.
She suddenly shrunk her eyebrows and asked Zhao, "Mother, what is recruiting children?" Listen, they all said that Mu Yan was bought, was she really bought? β
This kind of filthy trick of selling children and daughters Zhao didn't intend to let Lin Yun know, but when she heard Lin Yun ask, she had to say in a low voice, "Don't ask, you don't understand." β
It's just that Lin Yun is the kind of person who if you don't answer, she will break the casserole and ask to the end. Zhao refused to answer directly, so she chased after her and asked, "You sue me, I can understand, I can really understand." β
"You kid ......" Zhao spread his hands helplessly, knowing that if she didn't answer again, maybe Lin Yun would run over and ask Mu Yan herself, and then it would be even more embarrassing.
So she lowered her voice and quietly told Mu Yan's situation and Lin Yun.
As soon as Lin Yun heard that recruiting children was like this, she suddenly felt that Mu Yan was too pitiful, her eyes blinked and looked at Mu Yan, and she sighed slightly, "Mother, she is really pitiful......"
Zhao listened to his daughter's sentimental emotion, and couldn't help but gently pat Lin Yun's shoulder, "Our family Yun'er has grown up." β
Lin Yun actually pouted and smiled bitterly, and then secretly looked at Mu Yan and stopped answering.
β¦β¦
Mu Yan followed the old lady to greet Lin, and when Lin saw Mu Yan's dress today, he lost his mind for a moment.
But on such an important occasion, she was still very cautious, and she didn't dare to lose her temper, so she only smiled and said to Mu Yan, "Huashang mentions you every day, and Huashang is very happy that you can come." β
Xue Huashang stood on the side of the Lin clan and said with a chuckle, "Mother, will you let Mu Yan accompany me later?" She whispered, "It's awkward for me to entertain you alone, and I can be more comfortable with multiple people." β
Lin thought about it, didn't object, nodded with a smile, and asked Mrs. Mu what she meant by the way.
Of course, Mrs. Mu would not object, and said politely, "I'm afraid that my words are ignorant and will cause you trouble." (To be continued.) )
