Chapter 380: The Banquet
The banquet is approaching, and many people are starting to get busy.
The Cheng family's first banquet of the nobles in the capital was naturally very cautious.
In order for her baby daughter to find another suitable lover, Liu Yun took great pains to consider everything from clothes to makeup.
Although Cheng Yulan was full of reluctance, she couldn't bear to refuse when she saw her mother's radiant appearance, so she could only let her dress up like a puppet.
Although Lian Wan'er has a lowly status, she is also carefully prepared to participate in the banquet.
In order to express his attention, Cheng Sheng was even more generous, and directly gave 1,000 taels of silver and asked him to buy things.
In contrast, Cheng Yuru is much calmer.
She continued to stay in the courtyard and take care of her business as usual, as if the banquet did not exist.
Soon it was time for the banquet, and everyone got up from their beds early in the morning to freshen up.
She wore a light aqua-blue summer gown with a few fluttering butterflies embroidered between the cuffs, and many brilliant flowers embroidered next to her.
The butterfly sleeves came to life as if they were falling among the flowers, and a breeze blew, and the sleeves danced.
Cheng Yuru seems to be a fairy walking among the flowers, and she is beautiful.
Her inky hair was combed into two beautiful buns, and she wore no expensive jewelry, just a magnolia hairpin between her hair.
The girl was waiting to be released, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a happy smile between her eyebrows.
When he appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Yun glared unceremoniously.
She has dressed up her daughter carefully today, but she is still much worse than Cheng Yuru.
The group hurriedly got into the carriage, and Liu Yun snorted coldly when he saw that there were no outsiders.
"Did you do it on purpose, you know what I took your sister there for today, and you are still dressed like this......"
"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Cheng Yuru blinked her innocent eyes angrily, and at the same time said casually, "There are many nobles today, and the eldest aunt should still pay attention to it, so as not to offend the nobles." ”
The carriage was instantly silent, and a pin drop could be heard.
All you can hear is the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground.
Cheng Yulan sat on the side like a pins and needles, nervous.
She tried to open her mouth to ease the awkward atmosphere, but when she met her mother's warning gaze, she could only shut her mouth in a sneer.
Cheng Yuru sat steadily with her eyes closed, and at the same time she kept paying attention, and she didn't say a word since she got into the carriage.
There was silence along the way, and soon came to Ningfu.
Liu Yun got off the carriage first as an elder.
Originally, he was full of arrogance with his daughter, but when he saw the clothes of those ladies in charge, he was inevitably ashamed.
She glanced back at her daughter and solemnly explained, "Today must be beneficial, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"Good!"
Cheng Yuru heard her cousin's words as soon as she got out of the carriage, she walked over, "Cousin, don't think about it, it's just to distract yourself recently, I heard that the scenery in the Ning family's garden is very pleasant, and you must enjoy it when the time comes." ”
No matter what happens at home, always be amiable outside.
Liu Yun is careful on weekdays, but at this time he is generous, not for anything else, for his baby daughter, but also to show the best side to everyone.
The three of them walked in one after the other, and Lian Wan'er followed behind like an invisible person, but his face was impossible to ignore.
Especially when even the family sees it.
Mrs. Lian was just about to walk in with her daughter, and when she saw the face that was exactly the same as her sister-in-law, her hands trembled slightly.
Lian Yue didn't know why, but when he looked at the sight, he waved excitedly, "Cousin! ”
Even the eldest lady was regained by her daughter's voice, and quenched her daughter, "I'm about to be a mother, and I'm still so unstable." ”
He said so, but his voice trembled slightly.
The mother and daughter walked quickly in front of Cheng Yuru and his party.
Even the eldest lady had a stomach full of questions, Cheng Yuru whispered, "I know that my aunt has a lot of questions to ask, but there is not much time, I will personally come to the door to explain to my grandfather after the banquet." ”
At this point, the group walked into the banquet with their own hearts.
The Cheng family has just entered the country, and there are not many people they know.
The Lian family, on the other hand, is rooted in the capital and has many contacts with the family.
At the last Lianjia banquet, Mrs. Lian had already introduced Cheng Yuru to everyone, so as soon as Cheng Yuru came, she took her cousin's hand and began to greet familiar people.
The people who participated in the banquet were all famous ladies in the capital, and they had their own activity circles.
Generally, the concubine will be together, and the concubine will be in her own faction.
Lian Wan'er stood in it alone, she knew that her identity could not always be by Cheng Yuru's side, so she knew each other very well and kept following Liu Yun.
"I really don't know what you think, you have a low status, and you still want to come to the banquet, which makes me embarrassed with me."
Liu Yun had already obtained the information of many officials and wives before he came.
So after entering the banquet, I went straight to the point, wanting to take the opportunity to find a good marriage partner for my daughter.
But as a woman's mother, she always has to be a little reserved, so she doesn't bump in when she talks about her daughter, but just gives a hint vaguely.
Originally, a few ladies had already had intentions, but for some reason they asked about Lian Wan'er's identity......
The wife and the concubine are incompatible.
When those ladies heard Lian Wan'er's identity, they immediately stayed away, keeping their distance as if they were afraid of getting dirty.
What a bad luck!
The more Liu Yun thought about it, the more angry he became, and the smile on his face couldn't be maintained, but instead showed a hideous face.
"Stay away from me from now on, or don't blame Mrs. Ben for being unkind."
"The eldest lady is both prosperous and lossy, so I don't need to tell you this truth! We're family! ”
"You dare to say that you are a family with me, believe it or not, Mrs. Ben will kill you now, a shitty thing."
Liu Yun had already raised his arms high as he spoke, and Lian Wan'er shrunk her neck like a frightened bird.
She looked at the lake on the side without a trace, and stepped back again and again, "Big lady, you can't do this. After you go back, the old lady will definitely punish you again! ”
Speaking of the old lady!
The anger in Liu Yun's heart was ignited suddenly, and she slapped it, "Even if you are a slut, you dare to use the old woman to press me, see how Mrs. Ben repairs you today!" ”
The surface of the lake is sparkling, and the breeze blows, setting off layers of ripples.
The original beautiful scenery was ruined by unbearable curses and screams.
"Ahh
With a scream that pierced the sky, only a plop was heard.
When everyone looked over, they saw a young woman in a pink skirt falling into the lake, and desperately cried for help, "Big lady, please save me." ”
