Chapter 257: The Beginning of the Cycle (5)

Lu Xiu and Lu Qingqing met Bai Qingqing by chance, but Bai Qingqing was not a coincidence, she saw Lu Xiu and Lu Qingqing together early in the morning, remembering the last time Lu Xiu refused to be in Yunshan Temple, Bai Qingqing has always wanted to find trouble with Lu Xiu, and today finally ran into it, Bai Qingqing naturally will not let go of this opportunity.

Bai Qingqing didn't know Lu Qingqing, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiu didn't know any nobles in Hanjing, and he didn't take Lu Qingqing seriously, as soon as the three of them met, Bai Qingqing looked at Lu Xiu in a weird way and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you still block your face, have you done something bad to see people?" ”

Bai Qingqing's voice was not small, and the customers who were picking tea in the store all looked at them.

Lu Xiu didn't do anything wrong, but he was also afraid that Bai Qingqing would tear off his veil in front of so many people.

Her mouth was swollen, and others could tell what was going on at a glance.

She hasn't married yet, and it's not good to spread the word that this kind of thing is not good after all.

Lu Xiu didn't want to entangle with Bai Qingqing too much, and wanted to pull Lu Qingqing away, but Lu Qingqing didn't move, frowned and looked at Bai Qingqing, and asked: "Why does this lady talk like this, my sister hasn't left the cabinet yet, and it's normal to wear a veil to go out." ”

Bai Qingqing didn't hear that Lu Xiu had a sister, so she sneered: "It's really not a shame to be embarrassed to say it at such an age before you leave the cabinet." ”

Although the Lu family has declined, Lu Qingqing has not suffered much with Wu Shouxin over the years, but he only felt that Bai Qingqing's tone was extremely harsh, and he frowned: "This is our own business, and my sister didn't eat your family's rice, why are you talking cool here?" ”

Lu Xiu avoided Bai Qingqing these times, Bai Qingqing didn't expect that someone would help Lu Xiu speak today, and he would be more energetic.

The two of them could still speak with anger at first, but then they couldn't help it, first let the entourage fight, and then they had to roll up their sleeves to fight.

Lu Xiu couldn't run by himself at this time, so he could only block the front to protect Lu Qingqing, the scene was out of control, and there were more and more people watching the excitement around.

Bai Qingqing's arrogance far surpassed that of Lu Xiu and Lu Qingqing, and the two were pushed to the ground, Bai Qingqing soon found that Lu Xiu cared about her veil very much, and immediately changed her goal, pressing Lu Xiu to the ground and reaching out to pull her veil.

Lu Xiu tried hard to protect the veil, and was pinched several times by Bai Qingqing.

Seeing that the veil was about to be torn off, a loud shout came from outside the crowd: "Stop it!" ”

When the words fell, Bai Qingqing was pulled away, and a man who looked like a guy came over to help Lu Xiu up.

The veil fell off, Lu Xiu grabbed it with his hand and barely blocked it, Wei Mingchen, who was wearing a dark brocade robe, walked through the crowd and walked in front of Lu Xiu, glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, and then asked Bai Qingqing: "I don't know what dissatisfaction Madame has with this store, she actually disregarded her image and fought in my store?" ”

Wei Mingchen was born good-looking, and when he looked at people with a smile, he always gave people the illusion of gentleness and gentleness, Rao is Bai Qingqing had already been married, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and pointed to Lu Xiu and opened the river: "She stole my things." ”

Lu Qingqing was protected by Lu Xiu and just fell, and was not injured, and immediately replied: "You are talking nonsense, my sister is not close to you, how can I steal your things?" It's clear that you have a weird temper, jealous of my sister's beauty, and want to disfigure her appearance! ”

Bai Qingqing immediately answered: "She really wants to be beautiful, why can't she marry at such an old age?" Have the ability to let her remove the veil and let everyone see, what do I have to be jealous of her. ”

Bai Qingqing changed the topic, and was about to reach out to pull Lu Xiu's veil again, Lu Xiu subconsciously hid back, and Wei Mingchen took out a folding fan out of nowhere and opened her hand.

Wei Mingchen didn't look very hard, but he hit Bai Qingqing and screamed in pain, and his wrist quickly turned red.

Wei Mingchen stood in front of Lu Xiu, looked at Bai Qingqing and said: "Since the incident happened in my store, then I can't sit idly by, it has come to the point of doing it on the street, presumably what Mrs. lost is not a small thing, everyone should not leave, wait for the government to solve it." ”

As early as when Wei Mingchen appeared, the guys in the store blocked the way out of the shop, and then Wei Mingchen spoke, and everyone found that they couldn't get out.

But there is a bustle to see, and these people are not in a hurry.

They weren't in a hurry, Bai Qingqing was in a hurry, seeing Wei Mingchen protecting Lu Xiu, he pointed at Wei Mingchen and said, "You and her are in the same group, you must join forces to frame me, I don't believe it!" ”

The subordinates who followed Bai Qingqing immediately echoed, they tried to go out while shouting, but they didn't expect that the guys in the store were very strong, and the subordinates led by Bai Qingqing were quickly subdued, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Bai Qingqing was also pushed to the ground.

Bai Qingqing didn't follow it anymore, lying on the ground and crying, as if he had been insulted on the street.

There are all kinds of people in Hanjing, but it is rare to see a shrew like Bai Qingqing who sprinkles on the street, and the people who watch the play are getting more and more energetic, and Bai Qingqing is not ashamed, and uses this place as a stage, crying and acting.

Wei Mingchen was unmoved, the guy in the store brought a Taishi chair over and asked Wei Mingchen to sit down, he glanced at Lu Xiu, hinting at a meaningful raised eyebrow, Lu Xiu hesitated and stepped forward, took the fan to help him fan the wind.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone from the government came, and the head catcher led by him scolded a few words, and Bai Qingqing was suppressed and silenced.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop went over and told him the ins and outs, Bai Qingqing jumped up, pointed at Wei Mingchen, and insisted that he and Lu Xiu were in the same group.

The shopkeeper looked at Wei Mingchen's face, and then said to the head catcher: "My lord, that girl's surname is Lu, and my son-in-law's surname is Wei, and my son-in-law will not favor her." ”

Bai Qingqing only knew that the emperor didn't want to see the Lu family, but he didn't know the reason, and said angrily: "Why won't the surnamed Wei cover up the surnamed Lu?" ”

The onlookers all looked at Bai Qingqing like a fool, and the head catcher also knew that Wei Mingchen was a person he couldn't provoke, so he looked at Bai Qingqing and asked, "Madam said that she lost something, but I don't know what she lost?" ”

Bai Qingqing was talking nonsense, where she lost something, but at this moment, everyone was watching, and she had no way to change her words, so she could only stubbornly say: "Hairpin, I lost a hairpin, the hairpin is worth hundreds of taels, and it is my dowry." ”

A hairpin worth hundreds of taels is indeed not a vulgar thing.

The head catcher continued to ask: "What is the material of the hairpin, what are the characteristics, and when was the last time it was used?" ”

Although the Bai family is rich, they prefer gold and silver vessels, and feel that this is more noble, Bai Qingqing does not understand jade, and said loudly: "It is a golden hairpin, made in the shape of a vermilion bird, and it is hidden on her now, you search her quickly!" ”

Bai Qingqing pointed at Lu Xiu and said that she was ready for the following answer, if someone asked her where the golden hairpin came from, she would say that she bought it in Muzhou, and no one would go to Muzhou to investigate.

Bai Qingqing felt that she was smart and anxious.

Lu Xiu stopped shaking the fan, looked at Bai Qingqing calmly, and said: "In Zhaoling, one tael of gold can be exchanged for eight taels of silver, according to Madame, if this golden hairpin is worth hundreds of taels, it must be made of at least about one pound of gold, Madame is sure that such a heavy thing is a golden hairpin that can be worn on the head?" ”

A pound of things is not tired, not to mention first, a pound of gold, even if it is made by the best craftsmen, it will not be small.

Bai Qingqing's loophole was too obvious, it was punctured by Lu Xiu, she was a little untenable all of a sudden, and just about to speak, Lu Xiu preemptively said: "At present, the craftsman with the best forging technology in Zhaoling is Mr. Chu from the Ministry of Works, no matter what the material he makes, the price is very high, Mrs. Doesn't he have the ability to ask him to build a golden hairpin for you?" ”

Bai Qingqing had no master of the six gods at this time, and immediately insisted: "My aunt is Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the golden hairpin was built for me by her entrusted to Mr. Chu, what's wrong with this?" ”

After Bai Qingqing finished speaking, the people who watched the excitement laughed out loud.

There is indeed a Mr. Chu in the Ministry of Industry, but Mr. Chu forges generally blades used in the army, and what he likes on weekdays is carpentry, and the things he makes are small and exquisite, and they are only made for nobles in the palace.

Lu Xiu said this deliberately, and when she saw Bai Qingqing taking the initiative to mention the lady Shangshu, she seduced: "I didn't expect Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to have such a big face, presumably there are many utensils in the Shangshu Mansion that are worth a lot." ”

Bai Qingqing had to answer, but the subordinate next to her stopped her, she finally realized that something was wrong, and then a subordinate next to her rushed out and knelt down, saying: "It's all the slave's saying, the slave is obsessed with the ghost, and stole the lady's golden hairpin, causing today's misunderstanding, and the slave is willing to accept all punishments!" ”

The subordinate gave the steps, Bai Qingqing took advantage of the situation, kicked him, and said angrily: "Bastard! You dare to touch my things. ”

The beating and scolding and begging for mercy made a mess again, Wei Mingchen was impatient when he heard it, and glanced at the shopkeeper who was stunned next to him, and the shopkeeper understood, and said to the head catcher: "My lord, we still have to do business, do you think you should ask this lady to leave first?" ”

The head catcher asked his subordinates to invite Bai Qingqing and them out, the noise gradually moved away, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Lu Qingqing felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger, but it was not good to make trouble again, so she could only suppress her anger first, she wanted to thank Wei Mingchen, but Wei Mingchen didn't look at her, and said coldly: "The two of you can also go." ”

Lu Qingqing choked, remembering what the shopkeeper had just said, he only bowed his head and pulled Lu Xiu out of the shop.

After making such a fuss, Lu Qingqing didn't have the heart to go shopping, so she got into the carriage and went home, and she sighed heavily on the way, saying: "I didn't expect the Lu family to fall behind, and the situation in Beijing is so bad, anyone can step on it, my sister must have suffered a lot of grievances in Beijing alone these years." ”

"Fortunately, this is the first time I have experienced a farce like today." Lu Xiu's tone was indifferent, and reminded Lu Qingqing, "That lady is called Bai Qingqing, she is the eldest lady of the Bai family, a wealthy family who just moved to Hanjing last year, the character of the Bai family is not very good, my sister showed her face in front of her with me today, and you need to be careful in the future." ”

Lu Qingqing's face darkened, feeling a little disgusting, she had the same name as the shrew who sprinkled on the street, as a mother, although her temperament was a lot more restrained, she would not swallow her anger, she said coldly: "Sister, don't worry, I will never let that person surnamed Bai bully you in vain." ”

Lu Qingqing sent Lu Xiu home, and then took the carriage home.

Chun Ling saw Lu Xiu coming back in embarrassment, and exclaimed in fright: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Xiu shook his head and said that it was okay, so he asked Chun Ling to send hot water to bathe, changed into clean clothes, and rubbed medicine on his lips.

Seeing her still swollen face in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel annoyed with Zhou Jue again, how can she go out to meet people these days?

I was sulking when someone came to visit.

Lu Xiu didn't expect anyone to come looking for him, so he followed the sound and came out, but saw Wei Mingchen standing in the courtyard looking around with interest.

Lu Xiu didn't wear a veil, her black hair was still wet, and it was softly draped over her shoulders, adding two points of fragility and charm than usual, but what attracted more attention was her red and swollen lips.

At first glance, you know that you have been bullied.

Wei Mingchen's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled: "I'll just say why you keep blocking your face, it's because of this." ”

Lu Xiu's face was hot, he didn't expect him to follow, he pretended to be calm, and asked, "What is the owner doing here?" ”

Wei Mingchen smiled like a fox and said, "If you don't do anything, you just satisfy your curiosity." After speaking, he didn't care what Lu Xiu's reaction was, and turned to leave.

This person actually came to see why she was blocking her face?

When you're full, there's nothing to do!

Lu Xiu was ashamed and annoyed, and after scolding Wei Mingchen, he scolded Zhou Jue, the culprit, in his heart.

Lu Xiu didn't go out for the next few days, so she calmed down to draw drawings and recuperate from her injuries by the way.

When the wound on her lip couldn't be seen, Lu Xiu went to the Guogong Mansion, she made some snacks with Chun Ling, and last time Zhou Jue said that Gu Shaoyu didn't like to eat because of the hot weather, so he took it to try it.

The subordinates of the Guogong Mansion are very polite when they see her now, and they respectfully lead her in, and they heard that Gu Shaoyin is still angry with Gu Tingge.

Gu Tingge is not used to children, Gu Shaoyu doesn't like to eat, he was punished by him, and he has to be stubborn and angry, Gu Tingge simply asked the kitchen to reduce Gu Shaoyu's food, and only gave him one meal a day.

The meat that Gu Shao raised after he recovered from his illness decreased again, and when Lu Xiu arrived, he was playing with a wooden sword in the yard, and when he saw Lu Xiulai, he was embarrassed to carry the sword behind him.

He basically slept in the days when Lu Xiu accompanied him before, and the two didn't say a few words, so it was a little embarrassing to see each other again.

Lu Xiu shook the food box in his hand, took the initiative to break the deadlock, and said, "I made something to eat, do you want to taste it?" ”

Gu Shaoyin licked his mouth, a little wanting, Lu Xiu pulled him into the house and opened the food box.

In order to attract children, the pastries are made in the shape of cute animals, all of which are cool pastries to relieve the heat, the food box is opened, Gu Shaoyin's eyes light up, there are few such cute pastries in the Guogong Mansion. Pythagorean Library

"Taste it."

Lu Xiu said that Gu Shaoyu took one to eat, and the taste was better than he imagined, and he ate two more in a row, afraid that he would choke, Lu Xiu poured him a cup of tea, and waited for him to slow down before asking: "I heard that you are angry with Lord Guogong, why?" ”

"He won't let me eat." Gu Shaoyin was straightforward, and Lu Xiu said, "Didn't you lose your temper and skip eating first?" ”

Gu Shaoyu pursed his lips and stopped talking, put back the half-eaten pastry, moved his fart, and turned his back to Lu Xiu, obviously not wanting to talk to her.

He is only three years old, and he has not fully grown yet, but he looks like Father Xiao, and his eyebrows and eyes look quite similar to Gu Hengxiu.

Just to eat?

Lu Xiu was a little unconvinced, walked up to him and squatted down, looked at him at eye level, and said softly: "Lord Guogong is your grandfather, he is very good to you, if you lose your temper and break his heart by not eating, he will punish you, you just bow your head and admit your mistake to him first." ”

Lu Xiu's tone was very soft, Gu Shaoyin was just a child in the end, he couldn't hide his words, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and grievances came to his heart, he shed tears and said sullenly: "No, he doesn't like me at all, he hates me to death." ”

Lu Xiu didn't expect the child to be wronged like this, and hurriedly hugged him into his arms, Gu Shaoyu was a little heavy, Lu Xiu couldn't hold him for long, so he could only sit down with him, and coaxed him for a while to calm him down.

Gu Shaoyin's life experience is quite complicated, this matter is really hard to say, but Lu Xiu can be sure that Gu Tingge definitely does not mean to dislike him.

Lu Xiu patiently reasoned with Gu Shaoyin, and finally persuaded him to apologize to Gu Tingge first.

The two went to the main courtyard together, Gu Tingge had just finished practicing, Lu Xiu took Gu Shaoyin and waited for a while, Gu Tingge took a shower and changed his clothes and came out, the next person had already said Gu Shaoyin's intention, Gu Tingge also cooperated, and sat down in the main seat with a stiff face.

Gu Shaoyin knelt down in a proper manner, and the subordinate brought hot tea, Gu Shaoyin took it, handed it to Gu Tingge with both hands, and said glutinously: "It's wrong for grandson to lose his temper and not eat, grandson has already known that he is wrong, please grandfather don't be with grandchildren in general, don't be sad, grandfather drinks tea." ”

Gu Tingge took a sip of the teacup, and Lu Xiu said at the right time: "Lord Guogong, hug the little young master, he has been worried that you will not like him for the past few days, and he is very sad." ”

Gu Tingge was used to fighting on the battlefield, and he didn't know how to express his feelings, he hadn't even hugged Gu Hengzhou a few times, let alone Gu Shaojiu.

But the child's eyes were red and swollen from crying at this time, and it was very pitiful, Gu Tingge couldn't bear to refuse, and took the person into his arms.

His shoulders and back are broad, as tall and reliable as a mountain for a child, Gu Shaoyu pouted, he couldn't hold back, hugged Gu Tingge's neck and cried, crying and sobbing and saying, "I will eat obediently in the future, no...... Don't lose your temper, don't dislike it...... Like me, woo woo woo. ”

Gu Shaoyin couldn't stop crying, Lu Xiu made a soothing gesture to Gu Tingge, Gu Tingge tried to gently pat Gu Shaoyin's back, Lu Xiu said softly: "The little young master inadvertently knows a little bit of his life experience, and he has been worried that you will not like him, and the temper tantrum these days is also because of this." ”

Gu Tingge had never raised a child, so he didn't know that the child's mind was so sensitive and fragile, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said coldly: "I will deal with this matter, I want to see who dares to chew the root of the tongue in my country's mansion!" ”

Lu Xiu nodded, she believed that with Gu Tingge's thunderous methods, no one would dare to talk nonsense in the future.

The knot between the ancestors and grandchildren was untied, and they had a happy lunch, and Lu Xiu told the cook of the Guogong Mansion to write down the recipe of those snacks before leaving, and Gu Shaoyu could make them for him whenever he wanted to eat them in the future.

Coming out of the Guogong Mansion, Lu Xiu was still a little worried about Gu Shaoyin, Gu Tingge could control the mouths of these people in the Guogong Mansion but not the mouths of so many people in Hanjing, Gu Shaoyin had to go to school and study when he was older, and he had to face more things, and the Guogong Lord was not good at observation and expression, so there would inevitably be no less misunderstandings like this in the future.

If no one reconciles with it, Lu Xiu is afraid that Gu Shaoyin will take a detour.

Just thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and because of inertia, Lu Xiu planted it forward, and his forehead hit the wall of the carriage, which hurt very much.

"It's the son of the Zhang family, Miss doesn't have to come out." The guard who drove the car said, and then Lu Xiu heard Zhang Hao's angry voice: "Lu Xiu, come down for me!" ”

Lu Xiu sat in the carriage and didn't move, and at the same time gave Chun Ling a look, telling her not to worry.

Outside the carriage are the guards of the Guogong Mansion, although they are following her now, and the Guogong Mansion is also leaning on the back, if Zhang Hao wants to make trouble in the blue sky and daylight, she will be more reasonable no matter where she goes.

"Is there anything wrong with Zhang Gongzi? My young lady is a woman, and it is inconvenient to meet Zhang Gongzi, so if Zhang Gongzi has anything to say, just say so. The guard sat on the wheel of the car and said, he was not afraid of offending Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao only thought that they were Lu Xiu's newly hired grooms, and he was even more angry when he heard this.

Bai Qingqing already knew about the fight with Lu Xiu a few days ago but suffered a loss, he didn't expect that the two of them would fight and involve his mother, and even affect his father, Zhang Shangshu went home and made a big fire, scolded Zhang Hao bloody, and banned his feet, Zhang Hao held back the fire for a few days, and naturally came to find Lu Xiu's stubble as soon as the ban was lifted.

What Zhang Hao didn't expect, after not seeing him for a few days, Lu Xiu was so bold that he dared to sit in the car and play music.

Zhang Hao was so angry that he couldn't care about it so much, he rushed directly to the carriage and scolded: "What are you guys, you dare to talk to Young Master Ben like this!" ”

Zhang Hao is a showman, he only learned a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, and he didn't look enough in front of the guards of the Guogong Mansion, the guards didn't want to make trouble, but they just made Zhang Hao unable to get close to the carriage, and after a few rounds, Zhang Hao stood a few steps away from the carriage and gasped, how could he not expect that the groom invited by Lu Xiu would have such good skills.

Knowing that he couldn't take advantage of anything today, Zhang Hao took a sip of saliva unwillingly and turned to leave.

Chun Ling had been observing the situation outside, and was frightened by Zhang Hao's last vicious eyes, and rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and asked Lu Xiu: "Miss, will he do something even crazier?" ”

"The guards of the Guogong Mansion are very reliable, and he can't make any waves." Lu Xiu comforted Chun Ling to avoid causing panic.

However, Zhang Hao and the Bai family are not good at stubble, in order to prevent chaos, Lu Xiu also told the guys in the shop a few words after going back, asking them to pay attention to safety, if there are guests making trouble in the shop, don't be hard, just report to the official to deal with it.

After a few days of peace and quiet, Wu Zhongyi's fiftieth birthday arrived, Lu Qingqing sent a message one day in advance, and Lu Xiu got up early in the morning and went to Wu Mansion to help Lu Qingqing entertain guests.

The Ministry of Rites is a fat poor, Wu Zhongyi has a wide range of contacts, Wu Shouxin's ability is not bad, the future is limitless, there are a lot of guests in Wu's mansion at this birthday banquet, Mrs. Wu is not in good health, most things are handled by Lu Qingqing, and when Lu Xiu arrived, she was not polite, and asked for some things to help take care of.

was busy until almost noon, when he had a chance to catch his breath, Lu Qingqing changed his clothes, handed Wu Lang to Lu Xiu to watch, and hugged Wu Xiang himself.

There were a lot of guests, Mrs. Wu was helping to entertain, and the atmosphere of chatting was not bad, as soon as they arrived, everyone praised the two children for being born beautifully.

Lu Qingqing pulled Lu Xiu to sit down next to Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu was very satisfied with Lu Qingqing's daughter-in-law, and pulled Lu Qingqing to praise a few words, but everyone else didn't answer, and their eyes were a little evasive.

The Wu family is good for the Wu family, and the people involved in the Lu family are not good.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Lu Xiu quietly patted Lu Qingqing's hand, asking her not to care too much about what others said, and Lu Qingqing replied to her with a reassuring look.

The two were secretly interacting, there was a commotion outside the courtyard, and following the prestige, Bai Qingqing wore a rather bright peach-colored gold silk and wore a long skirt with flowers and butterflies, and came in with a maid.

The skirt is glittering and extravagant, but it is very picky about the skin color, although Bai Qingqing's surname is white, the skin color is not white, and it is a lot darker when she wears this, but she is not looked at, and when she enters the yard, she is like a clown who attracts everyone's attention.

Lu Qingqing leaned into Lu Xiu's ear and whispered, "Her taste is really bold enough." ”

Lu Xiu looked at Lu Qingqing in surprise, Lu Qingqing winked at her, obviously ready to watch a good show.

Lu Xiu pursed her lips, she didn't expect Lu Qingqing to invite Bai Qingqing, today is Wu Shangshu's birthday banquet, if Bai Qingqing makes trouble, the Wu family will not be disgraced.

But Bai Qingqing is here, and Lu Xiu can't just drive her away, so she can only calm down and wait for the changes.

Mrs. Zhang also came to the banquet today, and Bai Qingqing's position was next to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was scolded by Zhang Shangshu, and she had some opinions about the Bai family, and when she saw Bai Qingqing dressed in fancy clothes to come to the banquet, she didn't know how many eyes she rolled in her heart, but Bai Qingqing didn't notice it at all, she felt very good about herself and sat down, licked her smile and called Mrs. Zhang her aunt, for fear that others would not know about their relationship.

Bai Qingqing behaved so affectionately, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't pretend not to know, so she could only respond with a smile and not respond eagerly, for fear that others would think that her taste was the same as Bai Qingqing.

When Bai Qingqing entered the courtyard, she saw Lu Qingqing and Lu Xiu, she thought that it was because the Bai family had a status in Hanjing, so she would get the invitation of the Ministry of Rites, and today there happened to be Mrs. Zhang, so she would not be polite to the two.

Bai Qingqing was calculating in her heart, but she didn't notice that the lady at the same table looked at her with disdain.

After a while, someone recognized Bai Qingqing as the shrew who was fighting on the street some time ago, and said with a smile: "This is the famous Mrs. Bai." ”

The Bai family is the son-in-law of Zhao, and Bai Qingqing did not have the surname of her husband after she got married, so others called her Mrs. Bai.

Bai Qingqing looked at the woman who spoke, and said with a smile: "How can Madame recognize me?" ”

Naturally, it's not because of anything good.

The lady covered her lips and smiled, and said, "Mrs. Bai has a different temperament from others, and she has a reputation in Beijing, so she naturally knows everyone. After speaking, he looked at Mrs. Zhang and said meaningfully, "Mrs. Zhang has always been famous for being virtuous and gentle, but I didn't expect that there would be such a solid family as the Bai family, I really can't see it." ”

Bai Qingqing didn't understand the deep meaning of these words, but when the lady was envious of the Bai family's wealth, she immediately answered: "We were in Muzhou before, and we only moved to Hanjing recently, so it's normal for everyone to not know, just have more contacts in the future." ”

Muzhou is remote, mostly poor families, Bai Qingqing has developed the habit of looking above the top, but he doesn't know that the Bai family's property is not enough to see in Hanjing.

All the ladies and ladies laughed and said nothing, thinking that the people of the Bai family were really ridiculous.

Mrs. Zhang always pretended to be tall with a shelf, and at this moment she only felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, which was extremely embarrassing, Bai Qingqing didn't know, and aimed at the opportunity to ask the people present: "Do you know who those two people are?" ”

Bai Qingqing said and raised his hand to Lu Qingqing and Lu Xiu, this action was very rude, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help it, pressed Bai Qingqing's hand and said angrily in a low voice: "Today is Lord Shangshu's birthday banquet, this is not the Bai family, you give me some rules!" ”

Bai Qingqing and Mrs. Zhang haven't spoken for many years, and the relationship between the two is not deep, Bai Qingqing said disapprerovingly: "Uncle's official position is equivalent to his, and my aunt's identity is not bad, why should I be so timid, and I am not afraid of being underestimated." ”

You know a!

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Bai Qingqing fiercely, eager to immediately draw a line with the Bai family and never interact again, Bai Qingqing was still open-mouthed, and said: "I was still thinking about why my younger brother should take a businesswoman who can't marry as a concubine, it turns out that she has some relationship with the Wu family, but so what?" She is so old, it is her blessing that her brother can take a fancy to her, what is she not satisfied with? ”

Bai Qingqing's voice was not low, not only their table, but even the two tables next to them heard it, everyone was a little surprised, everyone knew that the Lu family had declined, but Lu Xiu was a person next to the Queen Mother before, and no matter how she could not be a concubine, listening to what the Bai family meant, she didn't take people in her eyes at all.

It's okay for Your Majesty to look down on the Lu family, and it's okay for others to secretly step on the feet of the Lu family, but on the bright side, what are the Zhang family and the Bai family?

The eyes of everyone looking at Mrs. Zhang became very subtle, and Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she pinched Bai Qingqing and said angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”

Bai Qingqing didn't want to shut up, and wanted to make things bigger to embarrass Lu Xiu, and was about to say something more, when the little maid at the gate of the courtyard shouted loudly: "The sixth princess has arrived!" ”

Everyone immediately looked towards the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Mingxi wore a crimson gold thread hundred flowers and fairy dress and walked happily, this dress is very skinny, Zhao Mingxi is young and very bright and good-looking.

At first glance, this dress looks a bit similar to Bai Qingqing's, but the temperament of the two is completely different.

Zhao Mingxi glanced at Bai Qingqing, then walked up to Mrs. Wu, said hello and sat down next to Lu Xiu.

Bai Qingqing didn't feel embarrassed at all when she collided with the princess, stared at Zhao Mingxi and Lu Xiu, and asked by the ghost: "Why does she still know the princess?" ”

You can shut up, people used to be celebrities around the Queen Mother, not to mention the princess, even His Majesty today often sees it.

Everyone was speechless about Bai Qingqing's stupidity and ignorance.

Here, Zhao Mingxi always felt that a gaze fell on him, his brows furrowed slightly, and Lu Qingqing said beside him at the right time: "Princess, there is a lady who is dressed very similarly to you is watching you." ”
