Chapter 114: Much Ado About Nothing
Talking to Tang Xin and Wei Tingcheng on the left and right, Xie Ning did not forget to pay attention to the surrounding situation. The Prime Minister's Mansion set up a banquet, and there were six people at one table. Xie Ning and the others are at the table, and now there are five people seated, except for the three of them, it is the Gao sisters on the other side, and there is an empty one in the middle, which is undoubtedly left for Gu Qingyun.
In just a few moments, the seats at the banquet were gradually full, and although the male and female guests were all in the same house, they were not in one place. A wall separates the two places of feasting. However, there are also a few young talents who wrote birthday greetings and sent them to the inner courtyard, and if the content of it has the blue eyes of the birthday star, they can be seen at the women's banquet.
This custom was told to her by Tang Xin beside Xie Ning. She didn't know a few people about this talent in Beijing, but Wei Tingcheng was extremely happy when she heard this, and took the initiative to say to the two: "Presumably my brother will also do the last song when he waits." ”
Seeing her mention Wei Qingyang, Xie Ning couldn't help but think of the matter of the two governments discussing marriage, and he felt awkward and did not answer. Tang Xin, who was on the side, leaned over and asked with great interest, "Who is your brother?" ”
"My brother...... My brother's name is Wei Qingyang. Wei Chengcheng hesitated for a while, and finally replied.
Not caring about Wei Qingcheng's timid voice, Tang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his voice: "Then you are the young lady of the Wei State Mansion?" ”
Although there were many people at the banquet and many guests, after all, the banquet had not yet started, and her voice still attracted the attention of many people. Wei Qingcheng's face turned red, nodded lightly, and said, "Exactly." ”
Tang Xin nodded, and then turned to ask Xie Ning, "Sister Xie, what about you?" Where is your home? ”
Shainin is not a first-time acquaintance, and he came today. I am also ready to introduce myself to the same person, there are many powerful people in Beijing, although her background is not remarkable, but she herself does not feel that there is anything to hide, seeing Tang Xin next to him asking, she replied frankly: "My father is a general in the Shu army, I am now in Beijing, but I live in Jingyang Houfu." ”
"I see." Tang Xin listened to what Xie Ning said, and almost subconsciously looked at the Gao sisters on the other side, as if he had noticed some clues from their alienated seats. But it didn't show it. After quickly retracting his gaze, he smiled at Xie Ning: "It turns out that Miss Xie is from Shudi, if you have nothing to do one day, you want to go around Beijing." You can go to the Tang Mansion of Tianlinfang to find me. ”
Tang Xin's words were enthusiastic. Xie Ning was about to speak up. But a bitter ridicule came in between the words of the two, Xie Ning turned his head to look, and saw Wei Chengcheng not far away. A woman in an apricot red shirt at the table said from a distance: "Miss Tang is really kind-hearted, she doesn't even take a closer look, what kind of background is this Miss Xie, and she is also worthy of being in the chairman's case and sitting with you?" ”
After Xie Ning recognized the woman's appearance, he frowned even more. This is not someone else who ridiculed her in public, it was Gao Yiyan's follower who ridiculed her many times at various banquets at the beginning of her entry into Beijing. But I haven't seen her for a long time, and her name and surname are born, and Xie Ning can't remember it for a while.
Being accused like this, of course Xie Ning has no intention of tolerating it, but at this moment, when the guests are gathered and everyone is watching, she can't make a move against the other party, not to mention that some things can't be solved by force.
However, with her small figure, if Xie Ning really wants to fight with her, he will really have a sense of shame of bullying the small.
With a sneer in his heart, Xie Ning's mind turned, and under the gaze of everyone, he had already come up with an excellent way to respond, so he slowly got up, walked to the woman's case with an elegant posture, and asked with a light smile: "What this young lady just said, but is it saying that I am not from a good background and am not worthy of sitting here?" ”
When the woman saw Xie Ning walking towards her, her eyes flashed first, and then she snorted disdainfully, "Didn't you hear what I said just now?" I asked again and again, but I didn't know if it was the back of my ears or my brain was not very good. ”
Xie Ning knew that she was deliberately provocative, and after hearing her remarks, although she was annoyed in her heart, she was extremely restrained on her face, the smile on her lips remained unchanged, and the volume when she spoke was neither high nor low, "I was invited to come, and I came with a post, this young lady dislikes me sitting here so much in and out of her words, is it possible that it is not arranged by the master's family, and I still have to disobey?" ”
When her words fell, the banquet suddenly fell silent. The previous chatter is gone. Xie Ning only exchanged a tacit look with Mama Qin, who was standing behind her seat, then looked at the figure sitting behind the case in front of her, and said lightly again, "Today is Old Madam Gu's birthday banquet, this young lady, you are also here, presumably also here to celebrate your birthday." But the way you celebrate is quite special. ”
"Haha," As soon as Xie Ning's words fell, Tang Xin, who was not far away, took the lead in laughing, stroked his palm and agreed: "What Miss Xie said is very true, Deng Xiaoqing, don't you think this birthday banquet is not lively enough, so you have to cause something to cheer everyone up, right?" ”
After hearing Tang Xin's joking words, most of the people present smiled heartily. Seeing this, Deng Xiaoqing couldn't help but turn pale, and his gaze at the opposite side also became weak, and he turned his head sideways and pretended to talk to the maid behind him, deliberately avoiding Xie Ning's gaze.
I didn't expect that this Deng Xiaoqing would be sent away so easily, Xie Ning hooked his lips and smiled, and wanted to shrug his shoulders, but when he thought that he was now at the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was immediately shocked. Dispelled this thought, looked ahead, and walked back with a graceful posture.
In this process, Wei Tingcheng's eyes followed Xie Ning all the way, and as soon as she sat down, she saw Wei Tingcheng stretch out his hand and gently pull her sleeve, and said affectionately: "A few days have not changed, Sister Xie seems to have changed a little from the past." The clothes I wear today are also very good-looking. ”
After her praise, Xie Ning smiled even more, and was about to answer, when Tang Xin on the other side heard the movement, he also smiled and echoed: "What Miss Wei said is exact, I have long wanted to ask Sister Ning, how is this blue Hunan skirt on your body made?" Not to mention the fashion, this material and embroidery are also extraordinary, I won't say much about this silver koi, but the water ripples up and down the waist, and your blue and blue corset of the same color, is really imperceptible, if I don't take a closer look, how can I know the exquisiteness of this Hunan skirt? ”
Although the clothes are good, they are not worthy of such exaggeration by these two people. Xie Ning guessed that they were worried that they would be worried about their talents, so they would deliberately praise them, and couldn't help but laugh at the two of them: "If you two continue to boast, I'm afraid that I won't dare to wear this clothes out again in the future." (To be continued.) )
