Chapter 138: The Gathering
After breakfast, Xu Qijin said: "The county lord sent someone to send a post early in the morning, saying that everyone has not seen each other for a long time, and they will gather in Yuwang's Mansion today." β
Xu Qirong said curiously: "We only met at the engagement banquet, why haven't we seen each other for a long time?" "It's been less than a month since the engagement party.
Xu Qijin smiled: "What the county lord means is to call the county lord of Shangjiaren to get together together!" Yesterday, she sent someone to the general's mansion to tell the county lord about today's party. The fetus in the womb is already three months old, and the person I want to see is a good friend of the county lord, and the general's wife agreed without saying a word. It's just that the county lord is still young after all, and he is afraid that something will go wrong, but he is afraid that Lin'er will not be able to meet us often before he is born! β
Xu Qirong suddenly realized, and was very happy for Jiaren, at this time in his previous life, Jiaren was dying in Goryeo Kingdom and didn't know it! lived a new life by himself, and he did not live in vain in the end. So far, at least half of what I want to do has been done.
It's just that Xu Qirong is still a little hesitant: "Is my sister going too?" β
Rumors are rampant outside, Xu Qijin goes out at this time, even if people don't say anything gossip in front of her, it is inevitable that they will not give others more talk.
Xu Qijin understood Xu Qirong's thoughts, and didn't care much: "The temperament of the county lord, you still don't know?" β
Shuang Pian has a domineering temperament, and no one dares to accuse the county lord of Shuang Pian when he is gossiping about Xu Qijin, so now for Xu Qijin, the only place that makes her most comfortable is her home and Yuwang Mansion. Moreover, we complement each other's personalities. Xu Qijin is used to letting Shuang pity on some inconsequential little things. To say something unpleasant, Shuang Lian invited Miss Xu to the party, which was worthy of the two sisters. Xu Qijin naturally wouldn't make Shuang Pian unhappy because of this.
Xu Qirong sighed. In some things, Xu Qijin, who is a sister, is more thoughtful than she, a person who has lived for two lifetimes, and there is really nothing wrong with the eldest sister like a mother.
After thinking about it, Xu Qirong said: "It's not all bad. Since Du Dagongzi is the nephew of the second lady of Guan, he is afraid that Shuang Lian has also heard of it. When the time comes, you can ask the county lord about the taboos of the eldest prince Du and the Du family, know yourself and know the other, and my sister will not suffer in the future! β
Xu Qijin heard this. The face is a little red. Even if it's not the object of his favorite, it's his fiancΓ©, and when he mentions it. The children's mood is fully revealed.
Seeing Xu Qijin like this, Xu Qirong sighed again in his heart, remembering that Xu Qiyu said yesterday that he was going to marry into the Yan family as a wife, without the slightest reserve of a little lady. There is only one eagerness to show off and prove yourself. Xu Qirong shook his head. I don't know if Xu Qiyu hid it too deeply in her previous life, so that she has been ignoring her all along, or if Xu Qiyu has suffered some changes in her life and her personality has changed greatly.
Xu Qijin saw Xu Qirong shaking his head, thinking that Sister Rong was worried about herself, and said with a smile: "I look forward to my sister in the scorching future, don't worry too much about it...... My sister has the support of her grandmother and the county lord! Otherwise, there is a list of dowries in my sister's hand, who dares to bully my sister! β
Xu Qirong shook his head. simply told me about the encounter with Xu Qiyu yesterday, and Xu Qijin listened to it. I wasn't angry, but I suddenly realized: "I said it! β
Xu Qirong sighed.
Xu Qijin explained: "Do you remember, last time on the Begging Festival, the county lord said that the fourth sister was not simple. At the time, I thought it was a little strange, but now I know that the county lord is really discerning. β
Before Xu Qirong could speak, he saw Xu Qijin hesitate for a moment, and continued: "Do you still have an impression of the flower-viewing banquet over there when you are six years old?" I saw that the fourth sister was honest for a while, and I thought that the child was forgetful, after all, it was the sister who was too stiff, so I never reminded you. At that time, the fourth sister said in front of everyone that you ate venison during your filial piety. At that time, my sister only thought that she was young and ignorant, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that these four sisters will be bad since they were young. β
Xu Qirong's eyes widened, she naturally remembered the matter of Xu Qiyu framing her clearly, but her sister never mentioned it, so she thought that Xu Qijin did not take this matter to heart.
Xu Qirong sighed: "The eldest uncle has been protecting the fourth sister openly and secretly these days, and he doesn't know what he is planning. The fourth room has a quarrel with the big house, if we have a conflict with the fourth sister, the eldest aunt can't guarantee that she won't take advantage of this raw food, and hide from the fourth sister, it's a knife or poison, and wait for the fourth sister to come out and take a look. β
Xu Tingjin has never been a foolish person, on the contrary, Xu Tingjin is still very wise. After Xu Tingyuan's life story in the previous life broke out, Xu Tingjin first chose to remain silent, and then personally crossed out Xu Tingyuan's name from the family tree. Xu Tingyuan went out of the house, and the properties that he could take away were only a few shops and two Zhuangzi in the name of Princess Pingtai, which were not worth much. The four-room industry naturally fell into the hands of Xu Tingjin. Even the Shen family's dowry was only obtained after Xu Tingyuan wrote a letter of severance and severed the father-daughter relationship with Xu Qirong. At that time, those things had already been passed through Xu Tingjin's hands, and Xu Tingyuan had limited hands.
Such a person, who does not offend the family, but also sells himself well in front of his "younger brother" and seems to have been forced to be helpless, if he doesn't have something to plot, how can he be so friendly to his cousin's daughter for no reason?
Xu Qijin was a little surprised when he heard Xu Qirong say this, and after a long time, he said happily: "It's good that you can think like this." β
After changing clothes, the carriage had been set up outside, and after saying a word to Princess Pingtai, the two went out and got into the carriage and went to Yuwang's mansion.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong had already gone out at the appointed time of the county lord, but when they arrived at the gate of Yuwang's Mansion, several carriages had already stopped.
Xu Qijin sighed: "Could it be that Yang Mengyun is also back?" I'm here with the county lord today? Coincidentally, I haven't seen her for a year. β
Xu Qirong said curiously: "Miss Yang is coming, naturally she is in the same carriage with the county lord, why are there so many cars parked here?" β
"It's probably a guest of the little prince or princess." After all, Shuang Lian has just been engaged, and the wedding date is close, and there are many people who want to take this opportunity to befriend Yu Wangfu.
Xu Qirong nodded, didn't care anymore, and ordered the little guy who was driving the car to pick him up in a few hours, and then took the maid inside.
When passing by the porter, the porter hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to call a thousand: "What kind of wind is it today, everyone is here." Second Miss, Fifth Miss, please come inside, the county lord is thinking about you two! β
Xu Qijin motioned to Yun'er to reward the porter with a piece of broken silver, and walked in with a smile, but he felt a little strange in his heart, could it be that Shuang Lian didn't explain to the porter that they were coming?
Seeing Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong coming, everyone in King Yu's mansion knew that this was a handkerchief handed over by the county lord of his own family, and immediately a maid stepped forward to greet the sisters and volunteered to take the sisters to see the county lord.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong glanced at each other, Xu Qirong didn't say it first, Xu Qijin had been a companion in Yuwangfu for several years, and he knew the same thing about the layout of Yuwangfu. There are many times to come to Yuwang's Mansion, and everyone is not so polite, every time Xu Qijin comes, it is the subordinates who tell her where the county lord is, and Xu Qijin goes directly over. It's rare to be so polite as today.
After thinking about it, or maybe the county lord is engaged now, it is naturally different from the past, and Xu Qijin is no longer the county lord's companion, so it is normal to be polite. He didn't say anything, but was led inside by the maid.
The maid led the two sisters directly to the Epiphany Garden. When they saw the county lord surrounded by a group of little ladies with a cold face, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong knew what was wrong along the way.
Xu Qijin was surprised in his heart, could it be that the county lord was preparing a big banquet today?
was wondering, I felt that my sleeves were being pulled, and I looked at Xu Qirong's line of sight, not Xu Qiyu or which, I was listening to a woman who was six or seven points similar to Hua Qi back then, whispering something, and Miss Qiu Er and Miss Qiu Fourth were sitting next to her. Behold the woman's garment, she is already a woman.
Then he saw that Frost Mercy greeted him with a happy expression: "You are here!" Without waiting for Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong to speak, he hurriedly took the hands of the two and walked in, "Jiaren has been talking to you for a while!" I'm looking forward to you coming and talking to her. β
After saying that, she was going to leave this bunch of little ladies behind.
Xu Qijin hurriedly asked, "Where is the county lord?" β
Shuang Lian glanced at the little ladies who closed her mouth and looked at this side, and sneered: "The county lord is a person with a body, and he is the most impatient with this kind of lively occasion." Stay in the boudoir of the county lord! β
Seeing that everyone was unwilling, they seemed to want to speak, so they hurriedly added: "Or do you also want to visit the boudoir of the county lord?" β
Shuang Lian was obviously angry, and everyone dared to propose to follow, but they were silent.
The young woman, who was six or seven points similar to Hua Qi, smiled, looking understanding: "County Lord, let's take care of ourselves, there is Miss Qiu Er to greet us, we are all a family, and we won't pick it." The last joking sentence can be heard by anyone who has a lot to do with Yuwangfu.
Shuang Lian frowned, she didn't get angry, but just said lightly: "We are in charge of Yuwang Mansion, and we have always been serious masters." "That means that Miss Qiu Er, a concubine who has never passed through the door, is not even a serious master.
Miss Qiu's face turned pale, and the young woman's expression remained unchanged: "What the county lord said is, it's just that Princess Yu doesn't care about anything, and this kind of thing is done by Concubine Zhang, we are all juniors, so it's not good to worry about Concubine Zhang." Don't you bother Miss Qiu Er! After a pause, he said, "The county lord also said hello to Jiaren for me, her brother got a very good pecan a few days ago, and I asked my subordinates to send a lot of them to the General's Mansion before I went out today, so that she could remember to ask her subordinates to smash them and cook porridge for her." β
Xu Qirong suddenly realized that she knew who this young woman was, but she was not the wife of Han Wenqing, the prince of the world, and Jiaren's sister-in-law! (To be continued......)
