Chapter 52: Suspicion
It's just that what she doesn't know is how far away this distant relative is. Zhao Tingzi is a distant relative of the Zhao family, if you have to implicate the above relationship, it is the daughter of Mrs. Zhao's cousin, and it is not far away, but his cousin married in the past and has never had children, and now it has already become a piece of loess, and Zhao Tingzi is still a concubine, if it is not for the sake of the dead cousin, why should the Zhao family take this matter, which has no relationship with their own family.
And what Zhao Tingzi introduced is also quite vague, even if it is a distant relative, she will not explain it, so that Mrs. Zhao knows it, and she will not blame herself, after all, distant relatives are a fact.
At this time, there was a commotion ahead, and I saw a brown carriage driving straight in front of the statue of everyone, driven by a middle-aged man, wearing a royal blue robe, with a large Song character embroidered on his chest. That's not the point, the point isγThe girl who followed in the direction of his left hand seems to be;
"Splendid."
Qiu Yining called out in a low voice, Yiqing squinted and looked at Jinxiu, now she is a first-class girl in the Song Mansion, and her dress is naturally much better than when she was in the Qiu Mansion, just look at the small silver hairpin she wears on her head. The carriage passed a few people and drove directly to the gate to stop, and a person standing in front of the door, who seemed to be in charge, hurriedly instructed Xiao Tong to remove the threshold of the side door, and opened Zhu Hong's gate to the limit, and the carriage drove in. Zhao Tingzi looked at the shadow of the carriage and said with great envy;
"That's the carriage of the Song Mansion, it should be the young master and grandmother of the Song family, and in Yuzhou City, my aunt only gave the Song family this only privilege. What a glory it is. β
At the end, he seemed to remember something, and turned to the three;
"Isn't that your big sister and brother-in-law? You didn't even come up to say hello. β
"Say hello, why rush at this time, when you enter the house, you will have time to talk to your eldest sister."
Qiu Yining's performance is very knowledgeable. It's just that the scene just now left a little envy and ...... in the hearts of several people Eat one's heart out.
"Alright, let's get inside! It wouldn't be good if he was the last. β
Yiqing saw that it was indeed not early, so he opened his mouth to remind a few people, and Qiu Yining immediately echoed;
"Yes! Let's hurry in, and then we'll have time to talk. β
Zhao Tingzi wanted to walk side by side with Yiqing, but was deliberately pulled to her side by Qiu Yining, and she didn't forget to look back when she walked in front, Yiqing just smiled and Qiu Yimei walked behind, but Qiu Yimei whispered;
"The second sister is really not afraid of life, and it is too much to rob the third sister's friend."
Yixi's words were all to avenge Yiqing's grievances, but Yiqing heard something else, turned her head slightly to look at her face, still smiling, but in Qiu Yimei's eyes, she only felt that this smile was unfathomable, and she trembled at the bottom of her heart, and quickly lowered her head and said nothing.
When she arrived at the door, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old stepped forward to salute;
"Ladies, please come with me."
The voice is not sad or silent, and there is no timidity at this age, it is really a big family, and even a little girl is so well trained. Entering the house is facing a rockery, from the top of the mountain slowly draining a stream of water, directly hitting the small pond at the bottom of the mountain, the area of the pond is not large, but the layout is extremely exquisite, planted more than a dozen small lotus, at this time all emerge buds, some have become a half-open state.
Bypassing the rockery, is the place where the front hall will meet guests, today's place, is a small lake in the backyard, the three followed the girl through the atrium, and bypassed a Shigong bridge, the eyes are new, all kinds of people in front of them, are the family ladies, groups of three or five, there are standing by the lake to pick lotus leaves, and there are sitting at the table chatting, all kinds of little girls with trays, all kinds of fruits on it, and tea cups shuttle among them, to really never see the big scene.
The little girl who led the way completed the task, and she returned the same way as a few people.
At this point, they arrived at the meeting place of the Zhao Mansion, Yiqing looked around, and at first glance, she saw Wang Yiran in an orange dress, and she actually came.
Zhao Tingzi had already thought about it, and when she saw that the three of them were not moving, she urged;
"It's too late, let's get over there!"
After speaking, he took the lead, Qiu Yining followed closely, and then there were Yiqing and Qiu Yimei left, Qiu Yimei wanted to follow Yiqing, although she went to the Song Mansion last time, she didn't make a friend, so the two looked for an empty table at the end, Yiqing looked around and found that Wang Yiran was standing with Han Xiangshu, talking and laughing, and it looked quite good, but she didn't find Qiu Yining's figure, even Zhao Tingzi was gone, and the two ran very fast.
It's just that I'm doing it here, and it's not a thing, when Yiqing was thinking about where to start and integrate into their small world, Qiu Yining had already followed Zhao Tingzi to the atrium of the banquet, because this time it was the sons and ladies of each family who were invited, so there were a lot fewer adults coming. Now sitting in the atrium, in addition to Mrs. Zhao at the top, is Qiu Yinong at the bottom;
"You've all seen it, and the people invited today are all juniors, but most of them are not married, if the elders are watching from the side, I'm afraid they won't be comfortable, and I'm worried that they won't be able to take care of it! It just so happens that you have time to come over, and I will bother you today. β
Just listen to the voice, to feel approachable. But Song Yupei and Qiu Yinong did not dare to slack off at all, and replied respectfully;
"Madame is serious, and Yi Nong and I will definitely try our best to take care of the sons and young ladies."
Mrs. Zhao nodded. At this time, it happened that Zhao Tingzi stepped in, Qiu Yinong looked towards the door, and when she saw Qiu Yining accompanying her behind her, her eyes darkened a little.
"Ting'er is late, my aunt will punish me!"
As soon as Zhao Tingzi came in, she pleaded guilty, and Mrs. Zhao laughed and scolded when she saw her;
"As long as you can be lazy, you really should be punished, don't hurry up and see Young Master Song and Young Grandma Song."
Hearing this, she seemed to notice that there were two people sitting in the room, and she bowed her head slightly and saluted a little shyly;
"I've seen Young Master Song, Young Grandma."
Because it was a female guest and Song Yupei was not easy to answer, Qiu Yinong spoke up;
"Girl, hurry up, they are all equals, why do you need to make this big gift."
Zhao Tingzi got up and stood aside, Qiu Yining was originally standing at the door, and when she saw Zhao Tingzi finishing her salute, she also stepped forward and leaned over;
"The little girl has seen Mrs. Zhao."
In fact, Mrs. Zhao had noticed her a long time ago, but she just didn't see it, and now everyone stepped forward to salute, and couldn't help but squint at the past, she had some impression of her, she could follow Tingzi over, it was indeed a little bold. It seems that he is ambitious to know that 'Mao Sui's self-recommendation' has attracted people's attention;
