Chapter 37: Tianbao Tower
Xin Yan looked at Shao Yunqing in front of her, she was also a beauty, but the timidity in her eyes from time to time made her look a little cringe.
It's no wonder that she was bullied by her second sister, because she looked like a reconciled bully.
Shao Yunqing smiled and said: "The little girl Shao Yunqing is the third lady of Shao Mansion, I don't know the girl's name?" ”
Xin Yan said: "My surname is Xin, and my single name is one word. ”
Shao Yunqing sounded a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it.
Also, she is already living in a simple house, even if the name Xin Yan has spread recently, no one has told her.
Only Peach Blossom mentioned it to her, but the person concerned is now sitting outside the car and doesn't know it.
"If Miss Xin needs Yun Qing to do it in the future, Yun Qing will definitely be duty-bound." Shao Yunqing said sincerely.
"Miss Shao is polite."
Soon the car fell into a mysterious feeling, Wei Xiaochun took care of himself to add tea to Xin Yan, and also helped Shao Yunqing add a cup, but Shao Yunqing shirked not thirsty and did not drink.
Except for the sparse sound of Wei Xiaochun's movements from time to time, there was no other sound in the carriage.
Peach paid close attention to the movement in the carriage, but she did not hear any sound, and regretted that she should not have let the young lady into their carriage so easily.
If they had other purposes, wouldn't it hurt Miss. However, at that time, she thought that she couldn't let the second lady's plan succeed, and she didn't think of anything else, so she couldn't help but blame herself for not being careful enough.
From time to time, he excused himself by talking to the coachman, but he did not come up with any useful information. The coachman didn't know anything at all, and he didn't say anything.
The carriage drove to the palace gate, which was heavily guarded. Wei Xiaochun handed out the invitation before letting him go, but the carriage couldn't go in, so Xin Yan and the others had to get out of the carriage.
Fortunately, there are palace people to guide the way, otherwise they would be like headless flies.
The palace maid asked, "Who is this?" ”
"She is the third lady of Shao Mansion, and she went with me because the carriage broke down."
Only then did the palace maid say: "It turned out to be Miss Shao Mansion, Lord Shao has just entered the palace, please come with me." ”
The jade pavement, the willow trees are thick, and the front is endless, with red walls and green tiles, and it is splendid.
I didn't know how long I walked before I came to the Imperial Garden, and as soon as I got closer, I heard the laughter in the garden.
At this time, the palace maid said calmly: "Two, there is the imperial garden in front, please wait here for the young ladies, and the slave maid will retire first." ”
After saying that, he left.
Shao Yunqing has not relaxed since he just entered the palace, and he is even more nervous at this time, and his hands keep stirring the handkerchief.
Seeing this, Xin Yan said: "If Miss Shao stirs the veil again, I'm afraid that she will have to change to a new one when she goes back." ”
Shao Yunqing couldn't help blushing when she heard the ridicule in Xin Yan's words.
Xin Yan smiled, everyone is so easy to blush?
But fortunately, after her interruption, Shao Yunqing felt that she was not so nervous.
As soon as you step into the Imperial Garden, you can clearly feel the gaze of the people inside.
Shao Yunqing was able to calm down and not let her body soften, she has rarely attended banquets, if it weren't for the queen's post stating that all the concubines need to participate, Aunt Liu would definitely be the same as usual, so that she would not be allowed to attend.
looked at Xin Yan, but found that she had a faint smile on her face, extremely calm, there was no tension and timidity at all, but she also showed a bit of leisure, it was really like she came to a banquet with a pen.
From the moment she got into the carriage, she had a preconceived idea that Xin Yan should be a young lady from any house, and she would not be associated with Xin Yan, a businessman who has been widely circulated recently.
After all, the luxury and luxury of her carriage was obvious, and now her posture was as handy as if she was used to seeing the scene.
But she missed a point, if it was Beppu's daughter, how could she come alone, and how could the invitation be in her hand.
Shao Yunwan, who was talking happily with her good sister, was suddenly interrupted: "Eh, isn't that your third sister?" Didn't you say she wasn't coming, wasn't she coming? ”
Shao Yunwan's smile suddenly froze, and when she turned her head sharply, she found Shao Yunqing who was talking to Xin Yan over there.
When she first arrived, she told her familiar sister that her third sister was not feeling well today and went back halfway.
not only expressed her pity, but also showed everyone Shao Yunqing's arrogant and willful side, in the face of the queen's invitation, Shao Yunqing can still say that if she doesn't come, she won't come, isn't this not taking the queen in her eyes.
Wouldn't marrying such a woman cause trouble to the house?
is also the blessing of dragging Aunt Liu and Shao Yunwan, and Shao Yunqing's reputation in the circle is almost ruined.
Everyone knows that Miss Shao Fusan has another name as a concubine, but she is a willful, arrogant, cowardly and rude woman.
Moreover, she rarely attends banquets, so the ladies in other mansions are not familiar with her, so they naturally listen to Shao Yunwan's words.
Shao Yunwan then said: "Yes, yes." That's my third sister, but I don't know why she came, originally she said that she didn't feel well and didn't come, but she felt better. ”
The meaning of this is that Shao Yunqing felt that he was in good health, so he came to the banquet. It's really capricious.
Seeing that everyone present showed disdain, Shao Yunwan was in a better mood.
Shao Yunqing, what if you come, there is no place for you here, don't try to take away everything that doesn't belong to you.
Suddenly, someone asked, "Who is next to Shao Yunqing?" Why haven't you seen it? ”
At this time, their attention was on another woman, Cheng Yi, the young lady of the Cheng family, who had just discovered Shao Yunqing for the first time, and she exclaimed: "The material on her body seems to be the plain soft satin of Tianbaolou." ”
As soon as she shouted like this, the people nearby were also attracted to her, and they were taken aback when they saw Xin Yan's dress.
This Tianbaolou specializes in women's clothing, up to the clothes and satin, down to the handkerchiefs, shoes and socks, all involved, where Tianbaolou production must also be a boutique. And there is an unwritten rule in the wealthy circle of Gyeonggi that anyone who can wear the clothes of Tianbaolou can really be regarded as a lady and a lady.
Even the brocade that Shao Yunwan is wearing now is also a brocade bought from Tianbaolou, so it has been soft and hard for a long time, after all, Tianbaolou's things are notoriously expensive, but the texture is indeed much better than that of other places.
Soon Xin Yan also noticed the movement here, and many people didn't have time to put away the envy, jealousy, curiosity, and exploration in their eyes......
Cheng Yixin said unwillingly: "This plain soft satin was just released by Tianbaolou not long ago, I heard that there are not a few horses, I went to order it a few months ago, and I still haven't ordered it." ”
The tone was sour, full of jealousy. Smelling Shao Yunwan again, he said, "Don't you really know her?" ”
Shao Yunwan also saw Xin Yan for the first time, and looked at Xin's clothes on the ground directly, and heard Cheng Yi's question unexpectedly, because Cheng Fu's status was higher than Shao Fu's, and Cheng Yi was also born as a concubine, so this Cheng Yi was also arrogant among them, but they didn't dare to refute.
Shao Yunwan replied: "I saw her for the first time today, and I really don't know who she is. ”
Cheng Yi said impatiently: "Does your third sister know her?" You second sister still don't know? Didn't you say that your third sister doesn't go out all day, and you don't know anyone she knows? You call your third sister over and ask. ”
Shao Yunwan was angry, but her face was embarrassed: "The third sister has always disliked me, even if I ask, she is afraid that she will not tell me." Although the third sister doesn't go out all day, I don't know where she sometimes goes when she goes out? Someone you know. ”
These words are very vicious, so much so that Shao Yunqing is shameless, and compares Xin Yan to a person who is not careful.
There were also thoughtful and intelligent people present, and naturally some people heard Shao Yunwan's words. But most of them have the mentality of watching the show, because they also want to know what Xin Yan's identity is, and they can get the plain satin they have dreamed of for a long time.
Of course, there are also stupid ones, such as Cheng Yi.
As soon as Cheng Yi heard Shao Yunwan's words, she felt that Xin Yan's status was by no means high, after all, she had long been clear about those prominent families, after all, this kind of family, once there was anything, it was a matter of talking about things in Gyeonggi.
And she has never heard of any family with Xin Yan, so she naturally belongs to the lowly portal, after all, there are many petty officials who come today, presumably she is in the name of wanting to fly on the branches as a phoenix, and she comes out to seduce men.
Jealousy can often make a person ugly, and in the face of an unknown person, Cheng Yi felt like a piece of flesh was stripped of her body by wearing the silk she dreamed of.
Shao Yunwan saw the jealousy and contempt in Cheng Yi's eyes, and was very satisfied. She said so much just to make her a bird, so that she could let Shao Yunqing and that woman have a little color without making a move.
She said that, but she couldn't tell her identity, even if something really happened when she fell, Cheng Yi would be punished, but she didn't have anything at all, why did Shao Yunwan endure the grievances and follow Cheng Yi. With such a good sword, she can achieve her goal as long as she is behind the scenes, so why not.
secretly calculated in his heart, but reluctantly said on his face: "Sister Cheng, don't embarrass my third sister and that girl, although I don't know why she lied to me and said no, but there may really be some reason." ”
Cheng Yi glanced at her and said sarcastically: "What other reason, I'm afraid I haven't figured out that I want to hook up with a man, look at what she looks like." ”
Listening to her words, a hint of triumph flashed in Shao Yunwan's eyes, Shao Yunqing, it's okay if you stay in the mansion, but you insist on coming, it's no wonder to me.
Shao Yunqing seemed to be startled by Cheng Yi's gaze, she didn't know why those people's eyes were on her. The tension that had just dissipated seemed to return. Now here, it's not going forward or retreating.
