Ningxia Qing understands that any woman with sincerity will have the illusion of monopolizing men.

Although most women will hide this strong desire for exclusivity in their hearts and take their wives and concubines according to secular standards, Xue Qianqian is not this majority of women.

Ningxia Qing can imagine that once Xue Qianqian knew, Tan Wenshi said the oath of the mountain alliance and the sea, but turned his head and violated each other's oath, once Xue Qianqian found out, Tan Wenshi let Xue Qianqian be so disappointed after giving Xue Qianqian hope, how crazy Xue Qianqian's revenge would be.

Xue Qianqian was born in Xue Mansion, and during her years in Xue Mansion, Xue Qianqian understood a truth, that is, the world would not be merciful to her because she obeyed the rules.

If it is said that the Gu Mansion is a struggle for power and profit within the aristocratic family, the Ning family is a merchant family that is fighting each other, and the Xue Mansion is a group of demons and beasts from all walks of life who are biting and carnivaling.

Xue Mansion is not a noble family like Gu Mansion, he doesn't pay attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, nor is he a businessman like Ning's mentality, he doesn't care about the supremacy of interests, and the people of Xue Mansion will do whatever he wants.

Xue Qianqian is a concubine and has no backing in Xue's mansion, so Xue Qianqian can only rely on the reckless fierceness, relying on the retribution, and relying on the ruthlessness of biting off a piece of the other party's flesh before she dies, so that those who want to trample her under their feet dare not attack her.

Therefore, in Xue Qianqian's world, if others fail her, she will definitely let the other party know that she is powerful, even if she dies together.

In Xue Qianqian's heart, only by punishing those who trample on her bottom line at any cost can the same thing happen to her again.

Xue Qianqian, who grew up in the Xue Mansion where demons and beasts bite each other, is also like a beast desperately protecting food, in Xue Qianqian's heart, Tan Wenshi is the "food" that should only belong to her.

In particular, Tan Wenshi has not yet made a fortune, Deputy Lieutenant Xue is in full swing, and Xue Qianqian is still sitting in the position of his wife, you can imagine how terrible Xue Qianqian's jealousy will be once ignited!

But Ningxia Qing only felt melancholy when he thought about it.

Since they want to be negative, why did men say so sincerely at the beginning.

A man takes out a true heart, but makes a woman understand that true heart is fleeting.

The warmer it used to be, when the heart fell into the ice lake, Ning Xia Qing could imagine how painful and resentful that heart would be.

On the day of the banquet in Xuefu.

Early in the morning, Cuiyu began to help Ningxia Qing dress up.

Ningxia Qing does not apply powder, but it is still eyebrows such as green feathers, the skin is better than snow, delicate and can not be forced to see, three thousand green silk into a simple blue bun, put on an elegant plum blossom hairpin, the plum blossom hairpin is small and elegant, it seems that there is no intention to compete with the flowers, and is not willing to fight with the group, quiet and elegant, ancient and delicate.

Ningxia Qing wore a plain brocade pipa placket winter jacket on her upper body, a silver xia brocade silk satin skirt below, and a lead-white tweed cloak that did not even have the slightest pattern, the cloak was so thick that she couldn't lift the corners even when the wind blew, such a bloated winter coat, but she still couldn't hide the slenderness of her figure, and the slender waist exposed between the half-concealed and half-concealed seemed to be not in a grip.

Cuiyu said worriedly: "Girl, you have been coughing for the past few days, and you have not been well, and you don't go to see the doctor." I think, if the girl doesn't go today, anyway, there is still the shopkeeper Dong, let the shopkeeper Dong go to socialize, the girl won't go out, just lie down at home to recuperate. And it's the north wind today, girl, listen, this wind is really scary, it must be cold outside......"

Ning Xia Qing replied weakly: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." You've made me wear so heavily that you're about to squash me, and the cold wind can still blow on me. But he couldn't help but cough a few more times.

Cuiyu was so frightened that she reached out to touch Ning Ningqing's forehead, but immediately exclaimed: "Oops, why is it so hot......"

Ning Xia Qing also reached out and touched it, only to find that there was a faint sweat on his forehead. She smiled wryly, "It's okay. Then I remembered that she did feel dizzy and headache since she got up, her nose was stuffy and her mouth was dry, her ears were burning and her face was hot, and her body was in pain.

But before she could finish speaking, Jade ran out and said, "I'...... I'm going to ask the doctor to come over. ”

"Wait!" Ningxia Qing immediately stopped Cuiyu.

Ning Xia Qing sighed and said, "Now is not the time to be sick, if you go to ask the doctor to come over for a consultation, you will waste a lot of effort, I am afraid that you will miss the time to go to Xue Mansion." The reason why I am sick is actually because I am in a hurry about business, if you don't let me go to Xue Mansion and don't let me untie this knot, my illness will not be good. ”

Cuiyu twisted her eyebrows: "But the girl can't just do business, don't want her body......"

"Don't worry, when I come back from the Xue Mansion, I will definitely have a good rest." Ning Xia Qing pulled Cuiyu back from the door and said, "Okay, don't make a noise, if the old lady and his wife hear it, they should be worried." ”

Jade was extremely embarrassed: "But...... What would I do if it burned out...... The girl scared me to death when she had a fever before, and even if the girl blamed me, I wouldn't dare to hide it from the old lady and her ...... this time."

Ning Xia Qing promised: "Don't worry, if I can hold it, I will definitely not drag out a big thing." ”

Cuiyu looked embarrassed: "The girl's body is ...... How can you hold on? ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled lightly: "I will tell myself that I must not fall today." ”

Ning Xia Qing was helped out of the house by a reluctant jade, only to see that the sun had put away its faint light, and there were snowflakes floating outside!

It's the first snow of the year!

Snow flakes like reeds are falling from the sky one after another, like silver-white pearls sprinkled all over the sky, like small white feathers, and like pear petals blown off, scattered, gentle and quiet, like powder and sand. It had just begun to snow, and the snowflakes had not yet covered the whole world with snow, only a thin layer of white had accumulated on some bare branches.

At this point when the master and servant walked from the house to the outside of the courtyard, the snow flakes were getting bigger and denser!

The sky and the earth were all the same, and the eaves, carriages, Ah Zheng, and pedestrians were all shrouded in white snow. On one side is the flawless snow flakes, and on the other side is the red sky that the snow can have, which seems very unreal, and today's heavy snow has become so strange in the world.

Ningxia Qing asked Ah Zheng: "Has the shopkeeper Dong already gone to find Gu Gongzi?" ”

"Hmm." Ah Zheng nodded calmly, and did not dissuade Ning Ningqing, who was already obviously a little shaky, to go back to rest.

Ning Xia Qing glanced at Ah Zheng, both relieved and couldn't help but look dark, and then let Cuiyu help her drowsy self into the carriage.

As soon as Ning Xia Qing sat down, he saw a paper bag in the corner of the carriage.

The sound of Ah Zheng driving the horse was already heard outside the carriage, and the carriage began to move towards Gu Xuesong's residence, and the wheels rolled on the ground with a regular rumbling sound.

Ning Xia Qing took the paper bag suspiciously, she was uncomfortable everywhere now, even her hands were a little trembling, she opened the paper bag tremblingly, and by the dim sunlight of the snowy day, she tried her best to identify it, it seemed to be Fengre Pill, Sang Ju San, and Yinhuang Dan......

And Cuiyu reminded her at this time, Ning Xia Qing found out that there was a small stove lit in the carriage, no wonder the carriage felt a lot warmer, she was groggy because of the whole person, and the snow was really dark, so she didn't even see it just now.

The warmth in the carriage was rising, and Ning Ningqing breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel touched in his heart. This is both Dan and pill, and she has eaten some of them. Sick and running around without rest, even if she takes these medicines, it won't be fine, but these medicines can at least relieve her discomfort a little and help her survive today's occasion.

For her, today's occasion is too important, even if she is too sick to walk, she must go, and she must fight a victory in good spirits, she can't lose anything to lose this ambition.

Tan Wenshi and Xue Qianqian arrived at Xue's mansion.

Because Xue Qianqian was excited at the thought of going back to her parents' house, the two went out early, and they were almost the first to arrive. After Xue Qianqian entered the Xue Mansion, she naturally went directly into the inner courtyard to find the sisters who had been friends before, while Tan Wenshi was in the outer courtyard and talked to a few colleagues who also arrived early.

After that, people who came to the banquet came one after another.

The big merchants in Yueling County are naturally the protagonists of today, and almost all of them sit at the top.

There are also a lot of shopkeepers and masters with a bit of power in Liu'an County, even if they are today's escorts, they are basically making big deals with Yao Sanxing and other Yueling businessmen.

What's more, Deputy Lieutenant Xue invited several colleagues to come over, but these people were all officials who were eager to be put on the offering table by the merchants!

Several officials and masters arrived at the end, and the merchants who had sat down earlier stood up and saluted, and the polite words of compliments were sent to the ears of the officials and lords like waves of waves, and several officials and lords respectfully let the heads of the officials, in front of these officials and masters, even the big merchants in Yueling County had to nod their heads.

In addition to the guests, Xue Fu naturally invited people who came to help the fun. Xue Shaoqing invited Zhao Xiang'e and other Wan Yanfang sisters over, and many of them had bright eyes, staring at these flowery sisters with the greedy eyes that looked at the silver on weekdays.

The sisters retired after singing a few songs, but they did not leave the Xue Mansion, but were invited to the inner courtyard of the Xue Mansion.

Deputy Lieutenant Xue is a military attache who made a fortune by a little merit, not from a noble family, and all the concubines in Deputy Lieutenant Xue's family are also from merchants or landlords' families, so Xue Mansion is naturally not as polite and thoughtful as Gu Mansion.

After Zhao Xiang'e and others were invited to the inner courtyard, they were asked by the women in the inner courtyard to sing a few songs, and then chatted with the women in the deep courtyard.

What these deep house women think about on weekdays is nothing more than two things - competing for favor, eating, wearing, and comparing. Naturally, those things that compete for favor cannot be for outsiders, so a kind of woman talks about food and clothing, and naturally she has to brag about herself and belittle others.

A young concubine picked up a piece of milk cake, tasted it and said, "This milk cake is very delicious, it must not be made by the sixth sister, the pastry made by the sixth sister is simply inedible...... I heard that the sixth sister's family fell into the middle of the road, and it is estimated that the sixth sister has never eaten any good pastries in her life, and she doesn't know what good pastries taste like, so she doesn't even know how unpalatable the pastries she makes. ”

The sixth-ranked concubine was just about to refute, but a daughter next to her scolded coldly: "It's just a concubine, in the final analysis, they are the servants of the Xue family, what's the use of being jealous every day, the children born are not all concubines, they are all useless things!" ”

Xue Qianqian, who heard this, stared at her, and saw that the high-spirited concubine was the sister who had never dealt with Xue Qianqian, and had not yet allowed her family, Xue Qianqian immediately handed over the mandala that had been in her hand to the maid on the side, stood up and sneered and said: "What's the difference between being a concubine or a concubine, even if it is a concubine, there is an old girl who can't get married!" ”

As soon as Xue Qianqian finished speaking, she proudly picked up a piece of milk cake, took a bite, and suddenly her face changed, pointing to the plate of pastry and saying, "Where did this come from?" ”

Zhao Xiang'e stood up calmly, blessed slightly, and said with a lowered face: "I took it to honor the Xue Mansion." This is a special kind of milk cake made in Wan Yan Fang, and the taste is exceptionally good. I thought that the nobles of the Xue Mansion must have eaten all the dim sum in the dim sum shop a long time ago, so I took this over and gave it to the nobles to taste. ”

Xue Qianqian's eyes widened, and she asked Zhao Xiang'e: "The milk cake with almonds here is made by Wan Yanfang?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Xiang'e's face changed, and she asked seriously: "Could it be that this lady can't eat almonds?" ”

"It's not." Xue Qianqian replied with a grim face.

Zhao Xiang'e immediately stroked her chest and said pitifully: "That's good, scared me to death, I thought it happened again......

Then one of the concubines asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Xiang'e said aggrievedly: "I owe a grandmother a favor before, and a few days ago I took a lot of pastries to return the gift, including Wan Yanfang's milk cake, but it turned out to be an accident......

Such anecdotes instantly aroused the interest of the long-tongued women in the Xue Mansion, and they all looked at Zhao Xiang'e, stretched their necks and asked-

"What's wrong?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Let's talk about it quickly!"

……

Zhao Xiang'e sighed and said: "When I gave this milk cake to the grandmother, the grandmother happened to have a guest, and the grandmother gave the milk cake to the guest to eat. ”

Zhao Xiang'e stroked her chest and said, "Later, that grandmother told me about this, and I was scared to death. Fortunately, I only ate a little, and the guest vomited and then recovered, if I ate too much, in case something big happened...... Alas, is that not my sin? It's true, this is the first time I've heard of someone who can't eat almonds. ”

Xue Qianqian looked at Zhao Xiang'e's face, squeezed out a terrifying smile, and said meaningfully: "Yes, there are indeed not many people who can't eat almonds." Then he asked, "I don't know who this guest is?" This sister might as well come and listen, if this person will come to Xue Mansion as a guest, Xue Mansion should remember not to give this person almonds. ”

"Madame has a reason to think so." After Zhao Xiang'e finished speaking, she shook her head: "It's a pity that the grandmother didn't tell me who the guest was." However, that grandma is the grandmother of Qian's antique shop, if the lady really wants to know, why not go to the Qian's antique shop and ask? ”
