Chapter 28: The Banquet
"Miao Ling, if you think about it again, this old face of your father depends on your thoughts!" Wu Dehou spoke full of routines this time, showing weakness on the surface, but in fact, he used his patriarchy to oppress her again.
What else could Qu Miaoling say, she pondered for a while, and finally agreed.
"Father, since you have spoken, Miao Ling has agreed."
Wu Dehou slapped his thigh when he heard this, "This is my father's good daughter!" β
Wen also had a smile on his face.
But immediately, Wu Dehou said again: "Miao Ling, this is the invitation given to you by your ancestor Wen, just take it!" He took the invitation card from Wen's hand, stuffed it into Qu Miaoling's hand, and slapped it twice.
Qu Miaoling leaned over, saluted and turned to leave.
Leaving Wu Dehou to clap his hands, he turned his head to the Wen family and said, "Miao Ling also agreed, this is to give your Wen family face, don't target Miao Ling again in the future." β
Wen was busy explaining, but Wu Dehou didn't listen, and he turned around and went back to the front yard.
Wen looked at Hou Ye's back and couldn't speak.
Wu Dehou, where the hell are you putting me! In my life, I can't compare to the white moonlight in your heart, right?
Wen gritted his teeth hatefully, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched, revealing a hideous look that did not match his appearance.
"Taolei, you go to the silk village in the city, go and buy some cloth for Miss Biao and Miss Biao and come back, both gorgeous and light."
Taolei took the order and left.
Wen sat down, she thought that Qu Miaoling liked to wear light clothes, this time she asked Wen Qingqing to wear bright colors, she was dressing her up well, and she would definitely press Qu Miaoling to raise her head.
Thinking like this, Wen went to Wen Qingqian's Wei'an Courtyard with the support of Tao Xin.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
When Wen saw his niece, he frowned, "You didn't go to the Buddhist temple today?" β
Wen Qingqian was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, I just went there yesterday!" β
"Is going yesterday the same as going today? Let you have a good relationship with Qu Miaoling, but what about you? Now that even the old lady has been enveloped by Qu Miaoling, do you still have a foothold in this mansion? "Wen was almost by Wen Qing's shallow elm head.
Wen Qingqian was taken aback, "Auntie, no, the old lady likes me very much, and allows me to call her grandmother, she shouldn't-"
"Should?" Wen sneered, "Wen Qingqian, the old lady gave you face, what do you think is the reason, not because of me?" You're nothing without me! Wen's rhetoric was fierce.
Wen Qingqian's eyes instantly turned red, "Auntie, why do you say so shallow, how can I be so unbearable!" β
Seeing that Wen Qingqian's tears were about to fall, Wen's heart softened, she took Wen Qingqian's hand, and said in a soft tone: "Qingqian, everything my aunt does is for your good, do you understand?" β
Wen Qingqian had tears in his eyes, but he still nodded, "Qingqian understands that if there is no aunt, there will be no good life for Qingqian." β
Wen was very pleased, "Good girl, you can't be wrong if you listen to your aunt." β
As he spoke, Wen leaned into Wen Qingqian's ear and whispered something, Wen Qingqian couldn't help nodding, and in the end, Wen left satisfied.
Wen Qingqian shouted softly and weakly, "Congratulations to my aunt." β
The expression on her face disappeared the moment Wen's back disappeared, and her delicate face was full of fierceness.
"Wen, don't you know when I do? If it weren't for paving the way for your son, would you think of me? β
Wen Qingqian couldn't help sneering, but soon, Taolei came to deliver the cloth, she picked her favorite red, and ordered the tailor to make it overnight.
At the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, she must trample Qu Miaoling under her feet!
What if you have a good family background, the children of the family choose a daughter-in-law not only based on the family background.
The expression on Wen Qingqian's face was meaningful, and the maid beside her couldn't help but soften.
And Qu Miaoling's side, it is the peach heart to send the cloth, all the same light colors, light blue, light pink, light green, and it looks plain.
Qu Miaoling smiled, picked out a light yellow cloth, and said to Tao Xin: "Thank you for me, madam." β
Tao Xin left, Qu Miaoling threw away the cloth easily, and let it be handled gently.
"Miss, throw this away, what are we going to wear the day after tomorrow!"
Although the young lady has a lot of clothes, they are all worn to participate in the huge banquet of the boudoir, the old man of the Wen family is just a white ding, and the brother of the Wen family is just a small seven-rank official.
Thinking softly, it's not worth it for your own miss.
But in this regard, Qu Miaoling had a faint expression, this opportunity to confront the Wen family, the Wen family lost all, she was in a good mood, how about giving her a little sweetness?
Andβ
Qu Miaoling hooked the corners of her lips, Wenfu, but there is a good show! β
Gently, "Go to the ready-to-wear shop outside and buy me a bright red dress, don't be too graceful, just plain." β
Gently stunned, can the red one be plain?
For the young lady's words, she ran all over the capital gently, but she didn't see a suitable one, she came back with nothing, and heard her own young lady say that she was going to the palace to hand over the sign, saying that she wanted to invite the second princess to talk.
The second princess Situ Chasing the Moon was invited, and the two girls met on Chang'an Street.
"My sister can make my sister wait." In the private room of the fragrant building, Qu Miaoling stared boredly, seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Situ Chasing the Moon was late.
"Is it my sister's, my mother is too worried, she should have stuffed me with several guards, otherwise she wouldn't let me go out." Speaking of this, Situ Chasing Yue couldn't cry or laugh.
She sat down and asked, "What, do you have time to ask me for tea today?" β
"Of course not, I'm going to a banquet tomorrow, but I haven't chosen my clothes yet, and I want my sister to help me see the details."
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them appeared in the largest ready-to-wear store in the capital, and it was also the one recommended by Qu Miaoling to Situ Chaiyue in the palace last time.
Originally, she was picking clothes for Qu Miaoling, but as soon as Princess Chasing the Moon entered the door, her eyes were attracted by those colorful clothes.
Her face was full of joy, and she didn't care about Qu Miaoling, so she chose it herself, and Qu Miaoling looked at it with black lines.
Gentle was also confused, "Miss, this-"
"It's okay, let's see for ourselves."
Nodding softly, "The princess is not righteous, but the slave will definitely accompany the young lady." β
By the way, he showed his loyal gentleness and got a warm smile from Qu Miaoling, and then the master and servant shuttled through the spacious shop.
In the corner, her eyes widened, "Miss, look at this!" β
There are really clothes that integrate red and elegance, which not only shows the nobility of red, but also does not look kitsch.
"That's it!"
Qu Miaoling made a decision, and when she went to check out, the maid behind Princess Chasing Moon had no extra hands, and the hands she held up were full of clothes.
Seeing Qu Miaoling, the princess remembered today's intention and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
But when she saw the clothes on her soft hands, she was amazed and said, 'It's so beautiful! β
"If my sister likes it, I'll give it to you?"
Situ Chaiyue waved his hand, "How can there be a reason to rob people and things, today should have been me for your reference, but I bought so much myself, and today this red dress should be given to you by my sister!" β
Saying that, the maidservant behind Situ Chasing Yue consciously paid the money.
Qu Miaoling didn't shirk, but accepted it with a smile.
went to lunch with the princess again, and Qu Miaoling said goodbye to the gentle and went home.
"Sister, are you having fun playing outside?"
bumped into Wen Qingqian in the corridor, the other party said sourly, Qu Miaoling didn't care, turned around and left.
Looking at Qu Miaoling's back, Wen Qingqian snorted lightly and left.
Tomorrow, we will know who wins and who loses!
The next morning, Wen Qingqian woke up before dawn, the maids in her yard were busy, Wen Qingqian watched them busy, and muttered: "Cheer me up today, Miss, I will give you a long moon today!" β
The maids should be together, and they are more dedicated when they put on makeup and change clothes for Wen Qing.
As soon as the day was polished, Wen Qingqian's makeup was done, and the red skirt was also put on, looking at himself in the mirror, Wen Qingqian slowly hooked his lips.
She didn't believe it, today's Miaoling Nen can compare to her?
Just that plain shirt?
After another hour, Wen Qingqian appeared in the hall, in order to show her figure, her clothes were cut extremely close, and the position of her waist was also very obedient, she didn't even dare to eat breakfast, for fear that she would show a small belly.
The stomach rumbled twice, Wen Qingqian gritted his teeth and endured it, and then saw Qu Miaoling coming in red with the same sound, the butterfly on her shoulder, fluttering like a fairy, set off her whole person like a Nine Heavens Xuannu is beautiful.
Wen Qing's shallow pupils widened, and Wen was also stunned.
How she dressed-
Wu Dehou looked at his daughter but laughed loudly, "Miao Ling is going to dominate the crowd today!" β
Qu Miaoling didn't speak, lowered his head and smiled, and then followed Wu Dehou into his carriage.
Wen Qingqian chased after her, and she asked unwillingly, "Sister, why are you wearing this dress today." β
It's still the same color as yourself!
Isn't this a blatant attempt to find fault?
Wen Qingqian gritted his teeth, his expression almost hideous.
"What I wear, I don't have to worry about my sister!"
Wen Qingqian choked, Wen also walked through love from behind, when she passed her, she lowered her throat, and said in a cold voice: "This girl took the wrong medicine today, and you too, why did you wear such a color." β
When these words fell on Wen Qingqian's ears, it became Wen Shiran saying that she was not as good as Qu Miaoling, how could she endure this breath.
"Auntie, I'll go back and get another one."
"What a change! Don't look at it anymore! Forget it, so be it! β
Wen was so angry that he didn't control the volume well, and the thorns between the words pierced Wen Qingqian's chest.
She got into the carriage angrily, and finally glanced at the carriage in front of her.
Wenfu is on the periphery of the capital, surrounded by some merchants, the yard is not big, it is a small courtyard with three entrances, just like this, the price in the capital is also a thousand taels of silver, after Qu Miaoling got out of the car, looked at the two stone lions at the door, and couldn't help but sneer, just this courtyard, I don't know if it took up her mother's dowry to buy it?
