Qian Ning also lowered her voice and replied: "It's my maiden sister, it's just a misunderstanding, it's okay." ”

Liu muttered, "It's okay." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sound of footsteps came, and then a woman's voice sounded: "Second sister, it turns out that you are here, let's find it for a while." ”

Qian Ning looked back, and it turned out that Qiao Ning and Ren Ning had come over.

Before he had time to greet the salute, Ren Ning was pleasantly surprised: "Lord Wan is also here, it's really rude, rude." After speaking, he pulled Qiao Ning and saluted Song Wan.

Song Wan had a general impression of Ren Ning, and only responded lightly.

Ren Ning deliberately wanted to get closer to Song Wan, chirping and chattering non-stop. Qiao Ning heard Ren Ning talk about Mrs. Lan before, and her attitude towards Qian Ning was even colder than before.

Qianning doesn't matter, the relationship is average, so why pretend to be harmonious?

Song Wan was sharp-eyed when she discovered the abnormality of the Lu family sisters, and she was impatient to deal with Renning, so she invited a piece to her residence to appreciate the jewelry under the pretext of asking Qianning about jade.

Qian Ning was disrespectful, and respectfully asked Liu for a gesture.

The county lord personally invited, how could the Liu family disagree, and whispered to Qianning to follow the rules of the palace, and not to lose the face of the Hou Mansion, so he nodded and agreed.

Looking at Qianning's distant back, Mrs. Li said enviously: "I didn't expect the eldest young grandmother of your mansion to vote for the fate of the lord of Wanjun like this, it seems that your mansion will become a frequent visitor to King An's mansion in the future." ”

Cui's wife, as Mrs. Hou, replied with honor: "That is, the children are just good friends, and the relationship with the two governments is not very important." But the look on his face is not as frivolous as it is between the lines.

Which of the noble ladies in this room is not a human spirit, Cui's duplicity is not clear, and they all say compliments. Even Roche joined in.

Compared with Cui's, Liu's was faint, even listening to the praise around him, he only smiled perfunctorily on his face, with an imperceptible thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Another person who can't give up is Lian Chengmei. I saw that the wives around me were praising Qianning, even the mother-in-law. Lian Chengmei's hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Mrs. Lian looked at her daughter's expression, how could she not know what she was thinking? After sighing inaudibly, he said to Lian Chengmei: "Mei'er, I have something I want to tell you, you come with me." After speaking, he pulled Lian Chengmei to a corner of the flower hall.

Ren Ning had a rare opportunity to talk to someone at the level of the county lord, and couldn't help but talk about Song Wan's closeness and loveliness, and Qian Ning's cleverness and intelligence, but he didn't notice Qiao Ning's increasingly deep face for a while.

"That's it!" Qiao Ning interrupted Ren Ning, "It's just a momentary opportunism, as for such admiration!" ”

Ren Ning knew that Qiao Ning was the most intolerant of other people's limelight overshadowing herself, and secretly annoyed that she was negligent for a while, annoying the lord, and put on a flattering smile on her face: "The third sister really reminded me, the second sister is a person who can't be on the stage in the past day, and now the county lord is a fresh, teasing for two days." Other people don't know what's inside, can we sisters still not know? It's also my fault, I was confused when I saw the county lord. ”

Qiao Ning said this a little more smoothly, and her face was a little pale, but her tone was still hard: "You, even if you don't see much in the world, I will take you to the banquet more in the future, and you won't make such a fuss." ”

"Yes, the third sister has to take me with me, otherwise one day I say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and I will lose the face of our Lu family." Ren Ning smiled and flattered.

Qiao Ning likes to listen to others obey the most, and she can't hold back on her face: "It's not easy to participate in the banquet, don't be in a hurry for a day or two, as long as you follow me, you will not be allowed to drop the chain." ”

Faced with Qiao Ning's words as if he patted his chest, Ren Ning rolled his eyes in his heart, afraid that if something really went wrong, you should be the first to run away, but his words were still soft: "Then thank you Third Sister." Let's go back first, I don't know if the eldest aunt is in a hurry. ”

Zhong had a big belly, and he was reluctant to move, but the invitation from King An's Mansion was like a pie falling from the sky, where did he dare not come? Therefore, he had to brace himself and bring Qiao Ning and Ren Ning to the banquet.

Thinking of her pregnant mother, although Qiao Ning still wanted to go around again, she had to go back with Ren Ning.

When Qianning arrived at Song Wan's residence, it was as if she had entered a calligraphy and painting shop, with two large cabinets of books and calligraphy and paintings posted on the wall, which were not like the boudoir of an ordinary daughter's house.

Qian Ning couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Wan, this house can be described as a library pavilion......"

Song Wan covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm just pretending, these books were all brought by the second brother, I just read the novelty and came by the way." ”

Qian Ning was a little surprised, Song Yi's gloomy and gloomy appearance really didn't look like a knowledgeable and talented person.

Song Wan seemed to see Qianning's disbelief, took out a book, turned a page at random, and pointed to the annotation: "Sister-in-law, look, these are all notes made by my second brother, and he will take notes for every book he reads." ”

Qian Ning took it and flipped through it, this is a local chronicle miscellaneous, basically every page has a lot of annotations, a cursory look, are all comments on mountains and rivers, humanistic customs and the like, purely from the literal point of view, it makes people feel that he is a person with a furrow in his chest.

This is far from what he thinks of Song Yi, could it be that Song Yi is not as obscure as he seems?

Qian Ning couldn't help but have some doubts, but when she thought that Song Yi's temperament had little to do with her, she put the idea of pondering behind her.

After a few glances at the book, Qian Ning closed the page and returned it to Song Wan: "The second son's annotation is indeed insightful, I think he has traveled to many places, and he is worthy of being a learned son who is famous in the capital." ”

"Papapapa" only heard a few applause from outside the door, and then Song Yi's voice sounded: "Brother and sister Zhao are so uplifted, I really dare not be ashamed." Compared with Brother Zhao, he is just not doing his job. ”

Qian Ning turned around and saluted Song Yi: "The second son is too modest, the annotations on the local chronicles are old and unique, just in this regard, the second son is indeed worthy of his reputation." ”

Not to mention academic success, nor poetry, books, etiquette, and music, but only to praise the annotations of the gazetteer, this woman really knows how to judge the situation very well, does not exaggerate, and speaks just right. This is not like the trait of an unfavored boudoir woman.

Thinking of the news he had found out before, Song Yi became tempted: "Why did Wan'er bring Brother and Sister Zhao here?" I just heard that the second aunt made a joke, but it was only with the help of Brother and Sister Zhao that she broke the siege, so she should have asked Brother and Sister Zhao to take a seat and thank you. ”

The second brother reminded that he should really thank Sister-in-law Zhao. Not to mention today's events, even the second brother's gift was prepared with the light of his sister-in-law. Song Wan hurriedly agreed.

Gift? Why didn't he know that he had helped Song Yi so much? Qian Ning was a little dazed.

Song Yi took the opportunity to make a gesture to Qianning: "Thanks to the blessing of my younger brother and sister, I got a Ninglou Mingzhe Gongzi personally made a complete set of jewelry as a birthday gift for my mother, I am really grateful." ”

Mingzhe himself went out? Qian Ning was surprised, this is not something that can be done easily, isn't Mingzhe holding some handle in Song Yi's hands?

With this consideration, Qian Ning looked at Song Yi with a little more cautiousness, but she still shirked on her face: "The second prince doesn't dare to take this seriously, I and Yininglou just know each other slightly, and the second son can invite Mingzhe Gongzi to do the design, that is the face of the palace, and I really don't dare to take credit for this." I didn't dare to sit on the upper seat. ”

Song Wan didn't follow: "Even if my sister-in-law refuses to take on the second brother's affection, she should always give me a face, right?" Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I think I have a special relationship with my sister-in-law. You just sit next to me, let's talk, okay? ”

Song Yi's invitation can be shirked, but Song Wan is not easy to refuse. Although I always vaguely feel that there is something wrong with the palace showing favor like this, it is also inappropriate to repeatedly excuse myself, and besides, sitting next to Song Wan has a lot of opportunities to get in touch with the circle of noble women, and it can be regarded as a good opportunity to promote a Ninglou, anyway, it is just a meal and a play, and it will not be good.

Qian Ning then responded with a smile: "I also feel that I am particularly close to Sister Wan, and since this is the case, I might as well be respectful." ”
