Chapter 17: The Banquet (1)

Mrs. Yin Song was invited, and Xiao Fu naturally wanted to go to the appointment.

Early the next morning, the Ning family prepared the carriage and took Xiao Jinlian and Xiao Jinxuan out.

This is the first time Xiao Jinxuan has participated in a banquet since she came back, and she has the memories of two lives, so she naturally will not be cautious in everything like in her previous life, but she still messes up and makes people laugh.

In the past, she even participated in the palace banquet, but now the banquet in the Song Mansion really has nothing to make her nervous.

So when she arrived at the Song Mansion, she looked calm, and it was the bamboo beside her, she had lived in the countryside since she was a child, where had she seen such a scene, and now she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

The appearance of the bamboo immediately attracted Xiao Jinlian, and she was disdainful for a while: "Sure enough, what kind of master, there is a maidservant, let's hurry home with this appearance, and the province will be embarrassed." ”

As soon as the bamboo was said, the circles under her eyes immediately turned red, and she felt that she had embarrassed Xiao Jinxuan, and her head lowered even more for a while.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled coldly, this second sister really doesn't know how to settle down, and she will come to her for trouble when she finds an opportunity, but her subordinates can't take the other party's turn to teach her a lesson.

Taking a few steps forward, blocking the panicked bamboo behind her, Xiao Jinxuan looked directly at the other party, and said with a smile: "How about bamboo, don't bother the second sister, it's you, this grounding has been lifted, but you must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will anger your father, and I am afraid that the second sister will not be so lucky next time, and she will be released in advance." ”

Because the invitation card of the Song Mansion clearly stated the name of the invitee, Xiao Jinlian, as the second daughter, was naturally among the invitees.

As the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, Xiao Heng naturally lifted her grounding and allowed her to come out to the banquet.

said that her maid ring was embarrassed, then Xiao Jinxuan did not recommend reminding the other party, who was more ashamed.

Xiao Jinlian was angry, who dared to talk to her like this in the Xiao family, and she wanted to open her mouth if she was not convinced, but she was dragged by the Ning family who rushed behind her.

"Lian'er, don't pay attention to this girl, let's go" After speaking, glaring at Xiao Jinxuan, Ning took her daughter and left.

After a few confrontations, the Ning family can also see that this Xiao Jinxuan is no longer the angry bag she was at the beginning, the other party is like a hedgehog, if you touch her, you will definitely be bloody.

Therefore, Ning, who thought clearly, immediately regained her composure, if she didn't pinch Xiao Jinxuan's death hole, she would not have made rash moves again.

Looking at the Ning mother and daughter who were walking away, Xiao Jinxuan snorted.

In fact, if the other party wasn't provoking her, Xiao Jinxuan didn't plan to treat them like that.

Although in her previous life, this mother-in-law and sister-in-law were very harsh to her and often made things difficult for her, but in the final analysis, there was no mortal enmity between the two sides.

And in the end, it wasn't this mother-in-law who killed her.

The people she hated the most from beginning to end were Ji Lingfeng and Xiao Jinyu, a dog man and woman.

As long as Ning's mother and daughter don't come to her again, she is willing to go on with each other without incident, but looking at the way Ning looked at her when she left, Xiao Jinxuan also knew that this hope was estimated to be very slim.

After sending Xiao Jinlian away, she took the bamboo into the tea room prepared by the Song family, and there were six tables in the hall, all kinds of snacks and tea, which should have been prepared a long time ago.

I saw that there were many noble ladies and celebrities gathered here, all of whom were richly dressed and had elegant temperaments. Gather in twos and threes, talk softly, and taste and drink tea.

Xiao Jinxuan was not interested in these, so she walked to the side and sat alone, quietly looking at the room full of warblers and Yanyan.

But at this moment, a girl wearing a warm green embroidered velvet skirt and a jade Ruyi hairpin on her head walked slowly towards her.

I saw this person, with a small cherry mouth and eyebrows curved like willows, but a pair of eyes were too slender and coquettish, although his face was beautiful, he couldn't help but have a thick rouge.

Seeing this girl come to Xiao Jinxuan, she looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said: "You all come to see, there is a new sister today, I don't know which sister is the daughter of the family, with such a appearance, there must be a noble girl." ”

The noble girl refers to the concubine, and the general concubine should not be called like this.

Xiao Jinxuan, who originally didn't attract anyone's attention, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention because of the words of the girl in green.

The ladies from all the prefectures who were sitting elsewhere also gathered around, all of them looking at Xiao Jinxuan with curiosity or inquiry.

Although she was going to a banquet today, Xiao Jinxuan didn't deliberately dress up, she was still wearing a purple Luo skirt, but it was rude, and she rarely wore a brightly colored, eight-treasure Fulu ruby hairpin, plus she had a gentle bearing and decent appearance. Everyone really felt that what the woman in green said was right, with such a temperament, she was definitely a noble girl, but she hadn't heard of it before.

But just when everyone was speculating, Xiao Jinlian's narrow voice came: "Sister Song, you are really joking, this noble girl in your mouth is just my sister-in-law, you don't really think she is a young lady." ”

At this moment, Xiao Jinlian really felt very happy, in front of so many people, she broke Xiao Jinxuan's identity, so that the other party had nothing to hide, and was despised by everyone, just thinking about it, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Sure enough, the young ladies who originally planned to step forward and make friends with Xiao Jinxuan all stopped with mockery, and the young ladies who were invited today were all from various prefectures, such a lowly concubine, let alone making friends, that is, to put it mildly, they all felt that they had lost their identities.

And the woman in green is actually none other than the only daughter of Yin Song Peng of Yangzhou Mansion, Song Jiaai.

And this Miss Song, at this time, showed a look of disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Sister Jinlian, you are joking with us, how can this young lady be a concubine with such a temperament, not to mention when you will have another sister, why don't I know." ”

Xiao Jinlian couldn't wait for others to ask, so she immediately said: "It's not strange that the sisters don't know her, she is my fourth sister, she has been raised in Zhuangzi since she was born, and she only came back yesterday, as for temperament, didn't Sister Song say that she has a rural atmosphere?" ”

After saying the mocking, Xiao Jinlian covered her mouth and laughed first, and when the young ladies saw her say this, they all thought it was funny and laughed coquettishly.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at it coldly, surrounded in front of her eyes, these young ladies who ignored her existence and arbitrarily ridiculed and despised her, and they didn't even change their expressions.

The huge difference between the concubines and the concubines, she had already experienced the numbness in her previous life, these concubines, if they can put the concubines in their eyes, it would be hell.

In the hearts of this group of people, the concubine is a group of the most humble and shameless existences, they are their natural enemies, and they were born to fight with them.

But what really caught her attention was the daughter of the Song family, Xiao Jinxuan always felt that the other party was deliberately coming to her today, and the seemingly unintentional words also forced her into an embarrassing situation.

But after thinking about it, she felt that she was thinking too much, she and this Song Jiaai had no intersection in their previous life or in this life, if it was really intentional, she really couldn't think of what the other party's reason for doing this was.

But at this moment, Song Jiaai suddenly said again: "No matter what, since Miss Xiao Si is here, she is a guest of my Song family, and I, as the host, must let all the guests and hosts enjoy themselves, my sister comes, go to my sister's place to sit." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but say, pulled up Xiao Jinxuan and sat down at the top table, compared to other places, the people sitting here are all the wives and ladies of the official eunuchs, not to mention the concubines, the average rich family is not worthy of sitting here.

At this time, Mrs. Song, who had been busy entertaining everyone, saw that her daughter was back, and hurriedly said: "Jia Ai came to mother, I just talked to your ladies about your visit to the famous master to learn piano skills, everyone wants to see your piano skills grow, you come over and play a song for everyone." ”

Sitting next to Mrs. Song, a somewhat short and fat lady, she also said with a smile: "Miss Song has always had the elegant title of Qin Fairy, and now she has Qiu Yue Niang, this piano master has guidance, I will have a blessing today." ”

The husband of the woman who spoke was the general judge of Yangzhou, and Song Fuyin was her husband's top boss, so what she said was naturally more complimentary.

Ning, who was sitting next to Mrs. Song, just smiled, but didn't say anything, her daughter Xiao Jinlian, although she was good-looking, but she was not talented, so she naturally didn't know how to speak, and she lost face and was compared to others.

Hearing this, Song Jiaai smiled shyly, and then said: "It's Jiaai's honor to be able to dedicate music to you, but it's inevitable that a solo performance is boring, so it's better for my sister to play with me." She smiled brightly, but she looked at Xiao Jinxuan and asked.

Let herself play together, Xiao Jinxuan was really surprised in her heart, she didn't listen to what Xiao Jinlian said just now, she grew up in Zhuangzi, is this like a person who has learned music.

And knowing that she would definitely not, she still made such a request, this Song Jiaai is not stupid as a pig, it is deliberate.

And Xiao Jinxuan doesn't think that this Song family's concubine is stupid, then there is only one possibility left, this Song Jiaai is deliberately embarrassing her!

I didn't have time to think about why the other party was like this, because now everyone's eyes were looking at her again, and the young ladies who knew her identity before showed a good look.

And Ning, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Jinxuan, since Miss Song has been invited, you can accompany her to play a song." ”

Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart, this Ning really didn't want to be nice to her, she didn't want to let go of the slightest opportunity to suppress her, others didn't know what she was like in Zhuangzi.

Could this mother-in-law, who had been spying on her for eleven years, not know? She can't even write, so how can she play a tune.

Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, you want to see me make a fool of myself in public, let's see who is more ashamed, Xiao Jinxuan thought in her heart.

Then I saw her smile calmly, and said meekly: "Mother ordered, and my daughter naturally did it, but Jinxuan was inevitably nervous when she first came, and wanted to ask the second sister to play with me, mother, are you okay?" ”

Ning's brows furrowed slightly, but he immediately smiled and said, "You girl is so afraid of life, Lian'er, then you can accompany your fourth sister." '

Just let the concubine come out to play, this will be her own daughter's turn, if she doesn't allow it, it will inevitably make people think that she is deliberately making things difficult for the concubine, although she does think so, but it must not be seen by others. Externally, she must be the most decent lady of the moderation.

Although her daughter's rhythm is not fine, it is no problem to play a song without making mistakes, anyway, Xiao Jinxuan is at the bottom, and everyone will only laugh at each other's stupidity, who will hold on to Lian'er.

However, Xiao Jinxuan agreed so happily, which faintly made Ning very uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
