Chapter 19: The county lord loses face
Song Jiaai's departure did not attract too much attention, and everyone only thought that she was compared to her piano skills, and she was embarrassed for a while, so she deliberately avoided it.
However, the young ladies admired Xiao Jinlian very much, who was completely suppressed by her sister-in-law, but she could still sit still.
Even if her smile is so stiff and awkward, this cheekiness really makes everyone admire while laughing at her.
And Xiao Jinxuan will lose her original tranquility, and the celebrities and ladies in twos and threes all gathered around her, asking her curiously about pipa-related questions.
Just when Xiao Jinxuan had a headache and had to answer them one by one, an arrogant voice suddenly came.
"I heard that today, there is a concubine in this Song Mansion who can play the piano better than Miss Song, who is it, stand up and show the county lord."
As soon as these abrupt words sounded, the hall suddenly became silent.
It was Mrs. Song who reacted first, and hurriedly introduced: "Everyone, everyone, this is the county lord of Yuanning, go to Yangzhou to play and live in my Song Mansion temporarily, everyone hurry up and see the courtesy." ”
Mrs. Song's expression was calm, but worry flashed in her eyes, others didn't know, but she knew that her beloved daughter must have changed her plan and went to find the county lord.
But now that the county lord has come out by himself, and her daughter is not on her side, a bad premonition has surfaced in her heart.
When talking about others, I suddenly heard that the pretty girl in front of me was actually a four-grade county lord, and I was surprised, and they all hurried to salute.
People are at the rank of the fourth grade, and except for Mrs. Meng, who is carrying a second-grade edict, no one can compare to this county lord.
But Qian Yingluo ignored everyone, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Jinxuan's figure, and the fire of jealousy and hatred in her eyes became even stronger.
Why did Zhou Xianyu always disdain her, but not only confided his real name to this slut, but also showed that unyielding look after the carriage left, she wanted to see where this slut was better than her.
Thinking like this, she went straight past everyone and came to Xiao Jinxuan, squinted her eyes slightly and said, "You are Xiao Jinxuan, lift your head to the county lord." ”
Like others, Xiao Jinxuan, who kept bending down and bowing her head to salute, heard this, calmly raised her head, and looked quietly ahead with a pair of calm and waveless eyes.
When Qian Yingluo was so close and saw this face clearly, she snorted quietly, she thought she was a beautiful woman, but she didn't expect it to be a soft and delicate one, in addition, in no particularly conspicuous place.
With such a posture, how can she be worthy of Zhou Xianyu, who is world-looking, except for her Qian Yingluo, no one is worthy.
Therefore, anyone who dares to peep at Zhou Xianyu, Qian Yingluo will not let it go.
Therefore, I saw her sneering smile, and then commanded loudly: "Yazhi Beimo, such a talented concubine is also rare, I will definitely write a poem to lift you up." ”
Xiao Jinxuan heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, the county lord seemed to be praising her in her words, but her attitude was very bad, especially when she said the word concubine, she deliberately accentuated her tone, if she didn't feel it, if the other party was not good, it would be too dull.
However, Xiao Jinxuan was also quite speechless, when she returned to Yangzhou for the first time, she was first squeezed by Song Jiaai, and now there is a county lord who speaks yin and yang, instinctively, she faintly feels that there seems to be something between the two.
Just when Xiao Jinxuan was still thinking, Qian Yingluo had already finished writing.
Then I saw her pick up the paper, come to Xiao Jinxuan from the new, hand it forward and said, "This is the county lord rewarding you, and you shouldn't read it out to thank you." ”
Looking at the county lord with a smile, Xiao Jinxuan didn't reach out to pick it up at all, but calmly refused: "The county lord's good intentions, Jinxuan's heart, it's just a song to help the fun, and I don't deserve your praise like this." ”
It's just a four-grade county lord, and when his own ink treasure is the emperor's imperial pen, this tone sounds really annoying. Although she doesn't want to make enemies out of thin air, she will never tolerate it everywhere like she did in her previous life.
She used to have a good temper, but in exchange for more wanton bullying from others, in this life, she would rather die vigorously than wronged herself and suffer from this nest.
Everyone didn't expect that Xiao Jinxuan would refuse directly, originally thinking that the county lord would be annoyed, but they didn't want her to be angry.
Instead, he took a few steps forward with a smug face, and said in a deliberately raised voice: "Are you afraid, because you can't read at all." ”
These words instantly made Xiao Jinxuan the target of public criticism again, an official lady, even if she is a concubine, must not be illiterate, this is no longer a matter of personal face, the whole family will even be ashamed, for a while everyone is speculating whether the words of the county lord are true or false.
Xiao Jinxuan didn't speak, just looked at Qian Yingluo calmly.
But her appearance fell in Qian Yingluo's eyes, which made the latter even more determined, she was illiterate, and now she just forced herself to calm down.
A few steps forward, Qian Yingluo suddenly whispered: "Although I don't know where you learned the pipa, but your mother doesn't allow you to read and write, so you can't even write your own name, I'm not wrong, **Brother Yu's little slut." ”
Xiao Jinxuan's last smile was completely gone, this county lord actually investigated her, and just now Song Jiaai would target her abnormally, and now it seems that it is also this masterpiece.
Before, she couldn't figure out what the other party's reason for doing this was, but when she heard the voice of the royal brother, she suddenly remembered who this Yuanning County Lord was.
In her previous life, she had really heard of the other party's name, and that was when she went to Jingshi, and after many years, she almost forgot it.
And the reason why the other party is famous is precisely because he is infatuated with Zhou Xianyu, the seventh prince, and he is almost to the point of going mad, and he has become a man of the year in Changping, Beijing.
Back then, she heard that the first prostitute in Beijing, Fang Xin secretly promised His Royal Highness, but it turned out to be known by Qian Yingluo.
The county lord didn't say a word, but rushed directly into the **, gouged out the prostitute's eyes, and pulled out her tongue before he would give up.
And threatened that if there is still a woman, dare to look at the king with her eyes, and come forward to talk to the king, this is the end!
However, Zhou Xianyu's upside-down appearance was too attractive, and the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family ignored the warning of the county lord and threw a purse to the royal king.
As a result, after Qian Yingluo knew about this, she directly stripped the other party naked, picked off her tendons, and threw it on the street.
and said that if there are things sent to Zhou Xianyu, all hands will be wasted.
This matter was very troublesome at the time, thinking that the household Shangshu only had one son and one daughter, and the only daughter died so miserably, he naturally refused to give up, but in the end, the county lord, the background was really hard enough, and it was still over.
Now after everything is right, Xiao Jinlian immediately thought that on that day, she was stopped by Zhou Xianyu in the carriage, and she must have been seen by the county lord, so she provoked the other party's target.
But after knowing the reason, Xiao Jinxuan was even more annoyed, if she really fell in love with Zhou Xianyu, she would not be wronged by being targeted.
But she didn't have that mind at all, but she provoked such a jealous madman, which was simply a disaster.
No wonder she only returned home yesterday, and her name was on the invitation of the Song family. And Xiao Jinying, who is also a concubine, was not invited.
At that time, she felt strange, but now that she is looking at this full hall, there is no concubine, it seems that the Song family did it deliberately, in order to completely highlight her humility and make her be excluded and ironic.
After thinking about everything, Xiao Jinxuan naturally wouldn't sit still, she reached out and took the piece of paper, she looked at it a few times, and suddenly asked with a smile: "The county lord really wants me to read it in public." ”
Qian Yingluo only regarded Xiao Jinxuan, this was a strong support, and said impatiently: "What are you talking about, tell you to read it, you can read it, hurry up." ”
Nodding, Xiao Jinxuan smiled lightly, a touch of mockery flashed in her eyes, and slowly spoke: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately." Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times."
This gentle voice instantly made Qian Yingluo petrified on the spot, and after being stunned for a few seconds, she stared at Xiao Jinxuan with fire-breathing eyes, unable to say a word.
Isn't this group of spies all rubbish, doesn't it mean that this concubine has no talent and no virtue, and she can't do anything?
But now she not only plays the pipa well, but is literate, and now her face is embarrassed, she has never been so ashamed.
But before Qian Yingluo could recover from this wave of stimulation, Xiao Jinxuan's next wave of stimulation was immediately delivered.
I saw her suddenly raise the paper in her hand, and then said with a smile and kindness: "If I remember correctly, this poem is a masterpiece of the former Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han, but the county lord said that it was a poem for me, but although this poem mentions the word pipa, it is a poem describing the hardships of the border and the battle. ”
Qian Yingluo's face turned red, she has always been subjected to ** at home, and no one forced her to learn anything, today she just wants to humiliate Xiao Jinxuan in person, I remember that there is the word pipa in this poem, so I wrote it out, but what do I think, but now it has become the other party, and the reason to ridicule her.
Feeling the gaze of everyone in the hall looking at her, even if no one said anything, Qian Yingluo felt like a knife, which made her fidget.
Seeing Qian Yingluo's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart, she dared to provoke her, then she had to be ready to be abused, Xiao Jinxuan, who had been annoyed for a long time by the other party's proud peacock-like appearance, didn't plan to let go of this county lord so easily.
Then, I saw her suddenly point to the last verse on the paper, and asked in an inquiring tone: "And here, I remember that it was supposed to be a few people back to the ancient battle, but the county lord wrote back a few people, could it be that you did it on purpose, deliberately to test me?" ”
"Flutter", among the guests, I don't know who laughed first, and then the suppressed laughter and discussion sounded one after another.
Anyone can see that this county lord is going to test people, it is clear that he is only a shallow learner, and he can write famous sentences wrongly, originally it was difficult for others, but now he has become the biggest joke.
Qian Yingluo bit her lip tightly, and her eyes, I don't know whether they were angry or ashamed, they were all foggy, as if she was going to cry out in the next moment.
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who was still looking at her with a light smile, Qian Yingluo felt that she was going crazy.
In front of everyone's eyes, how could she have been ridiculed like this, and all this was made by this slut in front of her. Although she wanted to humiliate the other party first, she was the county lord, shouldn't she punish a lowly concubine.
Anyway, Qian Yingluo's point of view is that it is natural for her to bully Xiao Jinxuan, but Xiao Jinxuan dares to resist, which is a crime that deserves death.
Believing that everything was Xiao Jinxuan's fault, Qian Yingluo immediately shouted: "You slut, you actually humiliated the county lord in public, Yazhi slapped me on the lips and beat me hard." ”
As soon as the eldest lady's temper came up, Qian Yingluo didn't care what the occasion was, she was going to be rude directly.
The young lady has all ordered, Yazhi, who has always followed Qian Yingluo and is used to being powerful, immediately stepped forward to slap Xiao Jinxuan's mouth, but was stopped by bamboo.
Don't look at Zhuzi, she was nervous since she came in, but seeing that her own young lady was going to suffer, she had the courage to come back at once, and without thinking about it, she stopped in front of Xiao Jinxuan.
In front of this chaotic scene, everyone who watched it was anxious, but no one dared to step forward to persuade them, otherwise it would be bad and annoy the angry county lord, and they should not be able to eat and leave.
At this moment, suddenly a white shadow jumped into the hall at an extremely fast speed, and saw a man with a wave of a folding fan in his hand, instantly separating the bamboo and Yazhi who were scuffling together.
Then he turned around gracefully, blocked Xiao Jinxuan behind him, and opened the folding fan with a bang, fanning it very casually.
Xiao Jinxuan was also stunned by this sudden appearance, but when she saw the back in front of her.
In a pair of eyes, crazy hatred surged out of the sky, and her body was trembling slightly even because of excitement.
Ji Lingfeng, this man she will never forget when he turns into ashes, even if it is just a back, she is confident that she will never admit her mistake.
It's you, my good husband, that we're meeting again so soon.
