Chapter 31: Making a face
At this moment, a person came in outside the door, and it turned out to be an old lady.
Wu Dehou and Wen hurriedly greeted him, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
"Why am I here, if I don't remember my in-laws' birthdays at this age, don't let you fool me!" The old lady spoke with reproach.
Wu Dehou and Wen were speechless.
They didn't expect the old lady to come!
The husband and wife were speechless, but the old lady over there walked towards the princess.
"Old lady." Princess Huihong actually spoke up first, what kind of face is this old lady of Wude Houfu.
"Princess Huihong, meet again!"
Looking at it, it is very familiar, and it must be familiar.
Wen Hongzhi also walked over, "Old lady, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Everyone understood, these three people wanted to surprise the guests present?
It seems that Princess Huihong should have come for the sake of the old lady's face.
At this moment, it can be regarded as solving the mystery in Qu Miaoling's heart, it is almost impossible for Wen Hongzhi to get acquainted with Princess Huihong, but if it is an old lady, then there is nothing to doubt.
At the beginning, the old marquis fought in all directions, but he had a hot fight with the royal relatives in the palace, but as soon as the old marquis died, this Wudehou Mansion declined.
I don't know if there will be a marquis when Qu Chensi inherits the title.
The old lady sat directly at the princess's table, and soon, the old man of the Wen family was also invited.
Qu Miaoling guessed that the old lady must have been afraid that her in-laws' birthday banquet would be too shabby, so she invited the princess to make a face.
Qu Miaoling looked at the crowd seriously, and sure enough, as she expected, among these people, there were really some children of high-ranking officials.
She didn't dare to agree with her grandmother's approach, but she still understood her grandmother's starting point, didn't she just take care of the face of this Hou Mansion?
Qu Miaoling took Wen Qingruo over, and the two girls leaned over and saluted.
"Grandmother."
"Old lady."
"What kind of girl is this, she looks really smart?" The old lady looked at Wen Qingruo and said.
"Grandmother, don't scare Qingruo, this is the second lady of Wenfu, Qingqian's younger sister." Pushing Wen Qingruo in front of the old lady, Wang looked at it and was happy in his heart.
She understood that this was the county lord leading her daughter to someone.
How could she not be grateful to Qu Miaoling.
But today, in front of everyone's eyes, she still didn't talk much, and after a few days, Qingruo brought the county lord to the house as a guest, and she thanked her.
As Qu Miaoling thought, her grandmother had a particularly good impression of Wen Qingruo.
She glanced vaguely at Wen Qingqian, who was not far away, and the other party was hiding in the crowd, looking at this with jealousy and hatred.
The old lady also gave Wen Qingruo a bracelet, which she took off from her wrist, but Wen Qingruo couldn't refuse, and brought it with Qu Miaoling's insistence.
Wen Qingqian hated it even more when she looked at it, how many times did she run to the old lady's Buddhist hall before she got a hairpin, but compared with the color of this jade bracelet, it was more than one percent worse.
led Wen Qingruo to see the old lady and the princess, and Qu Miaoling went with her to enjoy the garden.
As for Wen Qingqian's face, she looked comfortable.
"Your sister's face is almost in a palette." Qu Miaoling laughed.
Wen Qingruo listened, with a light smile on his face, and didn't say much. In fact, for this sister who left home, Wen Qingruo still felt a little guilty in her heart.
After all, it was because of her mother that Wen Qingqian took refuge in Wude Houfu.
"Qingruo, don't be too merciful to Wen Qingqian, she is not a simple person!"
Wen Qingruo nodded, she believed Qu Miaoling's words, but she still didn't think that a girl's family would have so many eyes.
Looking at Wen Qingruo's expression, Qu Miaoling shook his head slightly.
This stupid girl is still too tender!
That's it, she'll protect her!
Tired of shopping, Qu Miaoling and Wen Qingruo returned to their original positions and sat down, those young ladies were not good at doing things, and they all sat back in their seats at this moment.
Where there are many women, it is the place where chickens and dogs gossip breed.
No, as soon as Qu Miaoling sat down, she heard a girl say mysteriously: "Have you heard?" Some time ago, a palace banquet was held in the palace, and the assassins actually entered, and I heard that the eldest prince was injured! ”
The girl's words were in an uproar.
"Really, how do you know?" A girl in a yellow dress asked.
"Oh, a distant relative of mine, her concubine is a female official in the palace, listen to her."
"You dare to pass on this kind of royal secret?"
"Oh, what a secret, there were so many ministers and nobles who entered the palace that day, and there were many people, and no one in the upper circle knew that they were just pretending to be stupid, and the point was not this!"
"What is it?"
The girl who spoke hooked her lips inscrutablely, "Want to know? ”
This appetite makes people want to beat her!
Finally, before causing public indignation, this girl leaned over and whispered: "I also heard that Qu Miaoling also sacrificed her life to save Jiang Yushi's daughter-in-law, Jiang Jingjing!" ’
"What? How can it be? ”
"Isn't there a grudge between the two of them? I heard my father say that neither of them let anyone, they were the surface, and they didn't know how to tear each other down behind their backs! ”
"Who's to say no, I don't really understand."
"What's not understandable about this, at the moment of life and death, whether Jiang Jingjing wants to be honored or killed, maybe she cried and begged, and the county lord took pity on her and saved her life." Another girl in a purple dress said.
"Life is at stake, what should Jiang Jingjing choose, she is like a mirror in her heart!"
"I also heard that Jiang Jingjing was so frightened that she was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat, and the purple jade hairpin on her head was smashed to pieces, when I thought of that scene, I could laugh for a year!"
seemed to be substituted in, and the surrounding girls laughed and trembled, as if they also saw Jiang Jingjing's miserable appearance.
This Jiang Jingjing thinks very highly of herself, and she relies on his father to be the imperial history, so if she can't get it, she will have to join someone, fortunately, the emperor is not a soft-eared person, otherwise they would not be able to stand here with a good look here today, but will be imprisoned and waiting for death.
The girls who were very angry became more and more presumptuous in their words, and Jiang Jingjing, who was listening to it, turned dark.
A girl in a pink skirt walked over, "What nonsense are you talking about! Jingjing almost lost her life, was she ridiculed by you? ”
"No one is angry, why are you angry!"
"That is, when Jiang Jingjing fled in embarrassment, where did you go? It's too late to come out and play prestige now! ”
"You—you, incomprehensible." The girl in the pink skirt said angrily.
The girl in the pink skirt and the group of girls here come and go, fighting with each other, so unhappy.
Qu Miaoling watched the whole farce, but she only slightly hooked the corners of her lips and didn't care at all.
It's just a small fight, and the master doesn't care about it, so she won't mix it up.
Qu Miaoling's frivolous and cold gaze was seen by Jiang Jingjing, and the ugly words of those people just now made her head swell and ache, and she couldn't wait to go back as before.
She even speculated whether the incident at the palace banquet that day was caused by Qu Miaoling, after all, it was Qu Miaoling who had the worst relationship with her when she saw her embarrassment at that time.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth, angry in her heart.
Jiang Jingjing couldn't help but wonder if Qu Miaoling had ulterior motives to save herself.
At this time, Jiang Jingjing completely forgot how Qu Miaoling rescued her at that time and how she escaped the catastrophe.
Jiang Jingjing, who was surrounded by anger, had a gloomy face, and the air around her was much stagnant.
At this time, the girl in the pink skirt came over, and she said to Jiang Jingjing angrily: "Jingjing, you just let them slander you?" ”
Jiang Jingjing straightened up, "Then what else can I do?" Do you want to go toe-to-toe with Qu Miaoling? ”
The girl in the pink skirt choked.
She thought about it carefully, Qu Miaoling was Jiang Jingjing's life-saving benefactor, if she would take revenge, wouldn't her reputation be even worse?
Jiang Jingjing naturally thought of this, and the gaze she cast at Qu Miaoling was less annoyed and more probing, but that look was not good in the end.
Qu Miaoling doesn't care about this, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, I will offend people!
The courtyard was very lively, Qu Miaoling turned her head to chat with Wen Qingruo, and at this time, there was another commotion.
Qu Miaoling looked over and saw that her aunt and eldest brother and second brother were also here.
At this time, they were talking to Wu Dehou, and the expression on his aunt's face was not close, and even a little cold, but Wu Dehou didn't care at all, and continued to eagerly move up.
Even Wen was smiling all over his face.
This is the famous Mrs. An, not only the wife of Wu Dehou, but also the cousin of the county lord of Huiling, a member of the royal family, and only one layer shorter than Princess Huihong in terms of identity.
Mrs. An threw off Wu Dehou, walked towards the table of today's old birthday star, and chatted with Princess Huihong and the old lady for a few words, and then they sat down.
"Qingruo, you wait for me, I'll go over for a while."
Wen Qingruo naturally understood.
"Aunt, eldest brother, second brother."
After a few days, when Mrs. An saw Qu Miaoling, the longing in her heart gushed out, in the end, it was the child she raised single-handedly, and it was better to be born than to be born.
"Miao Ling." A sentence is worth a thousand words, Qu Miaoling went over to hold Mrs. An's hand and squeezed it gently, full of childishness.
Comforting the success was amused, "Okay, okay, since you're here today, let's have fun." ”
Qu Miaoling nodded.
"Miao Ling." Min Tian hadn't seen Qu Miaoling for a few days, and his voice was full of eagerness.
Qu Miaoling smiled back, "Second brother." ”
Min Tian smirked and was slapped by the eldest brother without scruples, "If you don't laugh, no one will treat you as a fool!" ”
Min Tian was aggrieved.
The smile on Qu Miaoling's face expanded, she looked at her eldest brother, bowed slightly to the other party, and returned to Wen Qingruo's position.
The arrival of Mrs. An made the atmosphere in the courtyard hot again, there were many girls who came today, and when they saw the suave Min Jie and Min Tian, their eyes suddenly brightened.
Who doesn't like young talents, the key is that this young talent is good-looking, talented, not low in official position, and has a good family background, so he is simply the perfect future husband.
All the girls were gearing up and talking, everyone wanted to marry into the Jingkang Hou Mansion as a young lady, so they looked at their companions with hostility in their eyes.
When facing the same man, there are no girlfriends, no handkerchiefs.
