Chapter 061: Going to the Banquet (2)
Everyone present today has more or less heard about the Xie family.
But no one knows about the Song family. The Xie family decided that the Song family's background was not suitable for the Xie family's daughter-in-law, and they made up their minds to make the Chen family bigger, so they always kept this matter firmly hidden, just waiting for the dust to settle down, and then "tell the world". But who knows, the more things drag on, the more unpleasant it becomes, and at this moment, it is not easy to end.
Xie Shuning took Song's hand and was led by the maid of Duanwang's Mansion and sat down.
Coincidentally, the person sitting a few steps away was Lin Yuanzhi's mother, her mother-in-law in her previous life, and now Mrs. Changpinghou.
Xie Shuning looked sideways, and withdrew his gaze after only one glance. In this life, they have no relationship at all, and it is best that they have no intersection in the future.
But Mrs. Changping is very good with the third lady Jiang of the Xie family's room, and Xie Zhi has already made a family relationship with Lin Yuanzhi if she lands. The two families can now be said to be relatives, and it is not easy to say that there is no intersection at all. However, it is ridiculous to say that in the past, Xie Sanye needed Changping Hou to speak in the court, so the two families hurriedly set up their children and relatives in order to help each other in the same boat. But who knows, in just a few years, the two sides have turned the situation upside down.
She remembered that Changping Hou would not live long.
It won't take too long for Lin Yuanzhi to change from the prince to the next Marquis of Changping. Orphans and widows, where can there still be the original situation, and it is no wonder that Xie Sanye later crossed the river and demolished the bridge and borrowed her to block the shortage.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard another woman in a gorgeous dress sitting at the table next to her shaking a fan painted with purple gentian flowers, and said to Mrs. Changping Hou with a smile: "Do you know who the one on the side is?" This time, someone other than the county lord was invited, and I saw that the status was not low. I just don't know which of the Xie family's wife. ”
"Look at the eyes, maybe it's not from the Xie family." Mrs. Changping Hou coughed lightly, and her eyes quietly looked towards the Xie family.
The woman in the Chinese costume didn't care at all, and continued with a sneer: "If it weren't for the Xie family, how could she enter the door with the old lady of the Xie family?" ”
The two of them were talking in a stumbling voice, and their voices gradually rose a little, but they didn't mean to avoid the people at the Xie family's table. Xie Shuning couldn't help but be annoyed when she heard this, the Xie family has been operating hard in Beijing for several generations, but the foundation is still shallow, so it is often not regarded by these people who claim to be old families. These people are really too much, and they talk about the Xie family wantonly in front of everyone, showing their contempt.
Although she doesn't like being a member of the Xie family, she still wants the backbone she needs because she has this surname.
So she said to the Song family: "Mother, are they talking about us? As she spoke, her eyes were looking at the old lady in the long room.
On such an occasion, being picked up indiscriminately is not happy for anyone. The old lady of the partial house was reluctant to take the initiative to help the Song family, but Xie Shuning's words did not lower her voice, and as soon as the words fell, everyone nearby heard it. In this way, the old lady of the long house could not hear or listen.
She put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Xie Shuning with a smile, and said, "All the ladies are respected figures, how can you talk nonsense about us, you heard it wrong." ”
Xie Shuning is just a child, and she doesn't need to worry too much about her words. But Mrs. Changping Hou is different, this will be held by the old lady of Changfang, secretly ridiculed, and she can't get down when she lands, so she stopped talking. But the woman in the gorgeous dress seemed to be unable to hold back her words, so she changed the topic and talked about others again.
This time, it's Xiao Wan, the step-room of Cheng Guogong.
"I heard that Xiao Wan's is thinking about how to make his son a son every day, and he treats my family Huai'er badly every day, which is really sad. If Da Wan was still here, he would not be in this situation now. ”
Hearing the word Huai'er, Xie Shuning couldn't help choking on the tea in her mouth.
It turned out that the woman who spoke was the Duchess of England, Wen Xueluo's biological mother!
She had only seen the British duchess after the defeat of the Wen family, with a haggard appearance, which made people unbearable, but she didn't want to be such a high-spirited person in the past, and even Xiao Wan's beak was at will! Thinking like this, Xie Shuning couldn't help but subconsciously find Wen Xueluo.
This name has almost become a taboo in her heart.
Once I think about it, I feel that despair and anger hit me like a river and a sea.
However, she hated Wen Xueluo, but it was never because Lin Yuanzhi loved her so much that she couldn't extricate herself. She hated it, just because Wen Xueluo betrayed and trampled on their sisterhood, and she was even more vicious to her Zhen'er. Because of Zhen'er, even if she stabbed Wen Xueluo in her previous life, she still feels that she hates her.
She suppressed the hatred surging in her heart and quietly searched.
As if sensing her gaze, the little girl sat on the other side of the Duchess of England, and turned her head suddenly. A pair of eyes are as bright as the stars, but at the age of six or seven, they can already see the beauty of the future.
The two looked at each other, Xie Shuning saw the doubt in her eyes, and suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
In this life, she will no longer regard Wen Xueluo as a close friend in her boudoir, and even do not hesitate to have a bad relationship with the fourth cousin of the long house for her.
She turned her face away and didn't look at the next door.
At this time, the host of this spring banquet, the Bai family, finally came belatedly.
As soon as she entered, everyone saluted her, looking extremely respectful, but this respect was faintly mixed with urgent cordiality. Even if it is the concubine of King Duan, it is difficult to have such pomp, and the Bai family has been enjoying everyone's envious gaze and flattering posture for several years.
Bai was born extremely beautiful, but she was generous in her movements, which only made people think that she had a lot of manners.
"Everyone, please feel free." She responded to everyone's greetings with a smile one by one, "There is a new chef in the house, who has excellent craftsmanship, makes good pastries, and knows how to use flowers the most." I have prepared a lot of them today, and I will invite you to enjoy them later. ”
These are polite words, and it stands to reason that she should also sit down after speaking.
But who knew that today, the Bai clan was unusual, and after saying these words, instead of sitting down, he directly excused himself and took the lead in retreating. Everyone was puzzled, but after a while, they saw that the powerful big girl beside the Bai family walked straight to the Xie family's table, and respectfully invited the Song family: "Mrs. Xie Liu, my princess is invited." ”
The princess was originally used to call the concubine, but the subordinates in the Duanwang Mansion all called Bai like this. So everyone was not surprised when they heard this, but the voice of Mrs. Xie Liu in front of them really scared them.
As soon as the Song family led Xie Shuning to leave the garden, someone couldn't help but ask the old lady of the long house: "Old lady Xie, who is the one and the child?" ”
The old lady of the long room trembled slightly with her hand holding the teacup, and glanced at the Nanzhu chain hanging on her wrist, and her heart was shocked.
Over the years, the Song family was the first person to be invited by the Bai family to speak alone at the spring banquet!
In the circle of noblewomen in Kyoto, the Song family can suddenly become the first person!
She took a deep breath, looked around at the ladies who were waiting for her to answer her questions, and finally spoke: "It's the daughter-in-law of the sixth child, Yanling Song." The child was his eldest daughter. ”
