Chapter 125: Too Confident
The mansion of the Xu family was given by the emperor and was magnificent.
The gilded Xu Mansion on the door is the first emperor's imperial pen to mention, this kind of grace can only be looked up to but unreachable, which is also the proud capital of the Xu family.
Although decades have passed, the handwriting is still clear, the color is golden, and the nobility is domineering.
Qi Miao knew that the Xu family had to repaint this plaque with gold water every year, and they didn't dare to slack off at all for decades.
So everything has a duality.
The gift of the emperor is glory, but it is not a burden, and it is carefully offered and respected, for fear that something will damage it, and it will be charged with a great disrespect.
Looking at the extravagant door plaque, Qi Miao's eyes moved.
One day, it really fell down and broke it suddenly, I don't know how the old man of Taishi Xu would react.
Thinking that Old Man Xu might jump to his feet in anger, the corners of Qi Miao's lips hooked slightly.
This place is the source and end of the nightmare of her past life.
Today's return, some are just a strong hatred that cannot be dissolved, and there is no complex mood such as excitement, excitement, nervousness, and apprehension at the beginning of the previous life.
Because the Xu family's banquet this time was mainly aimed at Qi Miao's family, they had already sent a housekeeper from the Xu Mansion to greet them at the door.
When I entered the Xu Mansion, there was immediately laughter and talking, which was very lively.
Qi Miao swept it slightly, and it was still the same construction and furnishings as in the previous life.
Because he had seen Lin and Xu Che a long time ago, when he entered the Xu Mansion at this moment, he saw many familiar faces, and Qi Miao was very calm.
Those who should have hated have long been hated.
After entering the mansion, Qi Miao and the Shen family went to the Lin family's courtyard. And Qi Zhengzhi and Qi Zhan went to the front yard, which was the place to receive male guests.
The Lin family's house was also very lively, and the little maid guarding the door lifted the curtain. The aroma of fat powder comes to the face.
Qi Miao's eyes swept lightly, and they were all familiar faces.
In addition to the living Bodhisattva Lin family, there are also Mrs. Li with Liu Wan'er, Mrs. Ge with her eldest daughter Ge Yan, in addition to them, there are two big acquaintances.
Xu Che's aunt Xu is Li Qingyuan's stepmother in the previous life, and the one who was later beheaded by Ji Mo......
and her daughter, Lian Manji.
Lian Manzhi leaned against Lin's side. looked at Qi Miao with an arrogant expression.
Lin only gave birth to two sons, so he loves Lian Manzhi very much, and she is now bereaved of her father. There are two more points of pity.
In the previous life, although the Xu family married Li Yushi, Lian Manzhi lived in the Xu family most of the time, and she was very hostile to her cousin-in-law.
Lian Manzhi is a year younger than her, but she got married relatively late. Until after Xu's death. Lin married her in a hurry.
Xu sat there quietly, looking at Qi Miao with a gentle smile on his face, bowing his head slightly.
"Third Mrs. Qi, Fifth Miss Qi, I'm finally looking forward to you, please take a seat." Lin Shi greeted him with a smile and shook Qi Miao's hand affectionately.
The red mole in the center of the brow was extraordinarily bright today, as pleasant as its owner.
Touched by Lin's warm hand. For Qi Miao, it was like being stung by a poisonous scorpion, and her body was a little stiff for no reason.
Resistance to the Lin family. It can't help but come from the bottom of my heart, not deliberately.
She smiled lightly and said softly, "Hello Mrs. Xu." β
Then, without a trace, he withdrew his hand, pulled it into his mother's elbow, and hung his head in a shy manner.
Shen also noticed his daughter's movements, and was afraid that Lin would be embarrassed, so he smiled and nodded Qi Miao's forehead, "Such a big person, he is still timid and shy in front of people, look at these sisters and sisters, which one is not more generous than you." β
"Mother!" Qi Miao whispered, but her head hung lower.
Seems to be more shy.
Everyone else in the room laughed.
Mrs. Li smiled and beckoned to Qi Miao, "Miao'er, come to Auntie's place, sit with your sister Wan'er, don't pay attention to your bad mother who laughs at you, the girl's family should be reserved." β
Qi Miao looked up at Mrs. Li and found that Liu Wan'er's expression was slightly uncomfortable.
However, Liu Wan'er still smiled at her friendly and got up and approached.
"Fifth girl, let's sit together." Liu Wan'er stretched out her white and slender hand to Qi Miao.
"Okay." Qi Miao smiled and nodded.
The smile comes from the bottom of my heart.
She knew that Liu Wan'er had a knot in her heart, but Rao was like this, it was really rare for her to treat herself like this.
This friend, she made a deal.
The two sat next to Mrs. Li and happened to sit with Ge Yan.
Ge Yan, who had a quiet personality, also smiled gently at Qi Miao.
Shen sneered at Mrs. Li, "Sister, you say bad things about me, if my Miao'er ignores me, I will have to settle accounts with you at that time." β
"Miao'er doesn't want you better, I just turned home to be my daughter, I can't blame such a well-behaved and sensible girl." Mrs. Li hid her mouth and laughed and quipped.
"The worst thing is you, it turned out that you had this idea, you think it is beautiful, and the fifth girl is reluctant to have such a good mother as the third lady." Mrs. Ge also laughed and joked with Mrs. Li.
Several people are very familiar with each other, and they are very diligent in their correspondence on weekdays, and they like to tell jokes.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.
Lin didn't think much about Qi Miao's hand, and pulled Shen to sit with her with a smile.
Shen did not refuse.
After saying a few words, Lin said to Lian Manzhi, "Zhi'er, my aunt is going to greet all the ladies today, and a few young ladies will ask you to take care of your aunt." β
Lian Manzhi, who had no energy, suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he promised to take care of Qi Miao and them.
The Lin family took the Shen family and them to the flower hall, where there were still guests who arrived early.
Lian Manzhi took Qi Miao, Liu Wan'er and Ge Yan to find the other ladies.
As soon as he got out of the yard, Lian Manzhi looked at Liu Wan'er and Ge Yan and asked, "Miss Liu, Miss Ge, do you like to kick shuttlecocks or jump Baisuo?" β
These two dramas are very popular in the capital at the moment and are loved by the ladies of the boudoir.
You can play alone at home or with friends.
I don't know if it's deliberate or unintentional, even Manji didn't mention Qi Miao.
The corners of Qi Miao's lips curled slightly.
If it had been before, she would have been sad and angry about what Lian Manzhi had done.
But now, she only thinks that Lian Manzhi is very naΓ―ve.
"I'm free." Ge Yan replied softly.
Liu Wan'er looked at Qi Miao, smiled and asked, "What about you, fifth girl?" β
Qi Miao's heart warmed, and she bent her eyes and smiled, "Listen to your sister, I can do both." β
deliberately changed her name and no longer called Miss Liu.
Liu Wan'er's eyes flashed, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Sister Qi Miao, she ...... I like it very much.
Lian Manzhi was very dissatisfied with Liu Wan'er's approach, but she couldn't find fault.
She smiled and said, "Miss Liu, Miss Ge, I'll take you to play first, I have another important matter to ask Miss Qi Wu, Miss Qi Wu may not be able to play with you for the time being." β
Qi Miaomei looked at Lian Manzhi, her eyebrows slightly raised.
What does she want to do?
They were just meeting for the first time, so what could she ask for herself?
Besides, if she asks for something, do she have to agree?
She must be too confident.
"What's the matter?" Qi Miao smiled at Lian Manzhi to see what she wanted to say. (To be continued......)
