Chapter 304: Speechless
What should she do with others?
If it is said that participating in the banquet of the crown princess does not represent any status, then, when this word reaches the ears of the crown princess, is there still their good fruit to eat?
What can they say?
No one can deny that participating in the banquet of the crown princess represents a kind of recognition and recognition.
And this recognition, acknowledgment, is indeed in some cases a symbol of the person's status.
Tuoba Yan found that she was led into the pit step by step by Fang Hanniang.
Fang Hanniang showed a slight smile, and did not talk about this topic again.
She knows very well that the prejudice against businessmen in this society cannot be erased by her words, and she is so righteous and bold today, it can be regarded as stained with the light of the crown princess.
Fang Hanniang smiled slightly, and took the topic in another direction.
"Then, let's talk about my 'bullying' of this hard-working master and servant." Fang Hanniang calmed down.
Her remarks just now have made those present reverse their views on her, and the next step is to clear the stigma on her.
After all, what she represents right now is not only herself, but also the reputation of the entire Pingguo Mansion.
Fang Hanniang looked at Lu Huaiqing and said with a slight smile: "Miss Lu, do you remember how you got into my carriage at that time?" β
Lu Huaiqing was already a little timid now, she dodged Fang Hanniang's gaze: "No, I don't remember." β
Fang Hanniang said empathetically: "It doesn't matter, you don't remember, I'll recall the memories for you." She smiled slightly, "At that time, Miss Lu went to Beijing, only brought this Mingyue girl alone, did not ask for guards, so brave and fearless, rented a carriage and went to Beijing to find her father, to be honest, I admired Miss Lu's courage very much at that time." β
Many ladies exclaimed slightly.
They just heard Mingyue say that they encountered some "trouble" on the road, and no one took it to heart, after all, who hasn't encountered a few troubles on the road?
But they never thought that Mingyue and Lu Huaiqing would be so bold and dare to go on the road so arrogantly without inviting the dart board without escorts.
This kind of behavior, if it sounds good, it doesn't know the sinister world, and if it sounds bad, it means that it has no brains, and it's almost like sending it to death.
After all, two young girls are on the road alone, and if something happens on the road, it will be really regrettable......
Lu Huaiqing hung his head and muttered: "Huaiqing has lived in a simple place since she was a child, and she has never encountered anything sinister, so she naively thinks that most of the people in this world are good people and are very safe. β
Mingyue was a little indignant, although she was a little worried about Fang Hanniang's identity at the moment, it didn't affect her that she still wanted to occupy the moral high ground.
Mingyue said: "Miss doesn't have to blame herself like this, anyway, we haven't met any bad people along the way, except for this extortion Fang Hanniang!" β
Fang Hanniang smiled slightly: "Yes, you haven't met any bad people along the way, that's because you have been following the dart team invited by my family a few days ago, and a few days later, the carriage of the two of you broke down, and you came to beg me to give you a ride, and sat directly in my family's carriage, enjoying the escort of the dart team openly, how could you encounter anything sinister?" β¦β¦ I'm also very strange, since Miss Lu is naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, how did she know that she was behind my dart team at the beginning? β
Lu Huaiqing's body trembled slightly.
Listening to Fang Hanniang's clear words, several ladies couldn't help but glance at each other, and nodded secretly in their hearts.
This Lu Huaiqing has a pitiful appearance all over his body, and he is very jasper. This trick may have worked at first, after all, everyone has some tendencies in their hearts, and they can't help but sympathize with the weak. But after a long time, the appearance of the weak has seen too much, and these high-ranking noblewomen will only look down on this kind of small jasper from their hearts all day long, except for cowardice and pity on their faces.
Tuoba Yan didn't speak again since Fang Hanniang dug a hole in her words. At the moment, he couldn't hold it back, and muttered: "Even so, then you can't extort it...... No matter how stupid they are, it's not a reason for you to be morally corrupt. β
Fang Hanniang followed Tuoba Yan's words and said with a smile: "There are two points, one, I didn't blackmail, and two, they are not just stupid...... I hope this girl will listen to me slowly. β
Fang Hanniang paused, looking at Lu Huaiqing and Mingyue's somewhat pale faces, she also felt a little funny in her heart.
She knew what the two of them were up to. Since there was a festival, it was still the kind of festival that could not be reconciled, so their master and servant wanted to win people by singing and harmonizing, and nailed her to the pillar of moral shame in front of everyone.
Probably because of the repeated attempts to play in their hometown.
However, they completely underestimated Fang Hanniang. They thought that Fang Hanniang would be ashamed, aggrieved, and incoherent because of everyone's accusations, so that even if she made any objections, others would think she was talking nonsense.
Where would they have thought that the daughter of a businessman from a small place like Fang Hanniang could maintain a neither humble nor arrogant mentality in the face of so many official ladies; Even when the situation is obviously unfavorable to her, she can explain the reason so calmly one by one and turn the situation around!
Lu Huaiqing and Mingyue glanced at each other, and they could see a trace of panic in each other's eyes.
Mingyue wanted to say something again, Fang Hanniang raised her hand and pressed it: "You have finished the accusation just now, now is the time for me to state, if Miss Mingyue has anything to say, can I refute it when I finish speaking?" β
After Fang Hanniang finished speaking, she didn't give Mingyue a chance to speak, she just paused slightly, and continued: "...... Since the two girls begged me when the carriage broke, they got into my carriage openly, which is nothing, and it is normal for everyone to help each other during the journey. However, this Mingyue girl is almost nostrils to the sky, and often says that some businessmen's daughters are not as good as their young ladies even if they are rich, and in their words, it seems that Miss Lu, a noble official lady, has come to ride my carriage, what a condescending thing. It is true that this world looks down on businessmen, which is nothing. But Miss Mingyue, you were sitting in my carriage with your young lady at the time, and you were still talking so much, which is a bit stupid. So, in this case, I don't care about the two, let's do our own thing, but just ride in the same carriage and get along safely, I personally think that there is nothing wrong with my behavior. β
Ji Luoyun said crisply: "Little aunt, who said it's okay?" I think you're doing something wrong. β
"Oh?" Fang Hanniang looked at Ji Luoyun.
Lu Huaiqing looked at Mingyue, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Ji Luoyun waved his little arm, and said indignantly: "If anyone is still so ignorant in my car, I will definitely throw them down." Little aunt, you should have thrown them down at that time~"
Lu Huaiqing and Mingyue's faces are like earth.
Ji Luoyun's words caused several ladies to cover their mouths and laugh, but they did not object to it, and even Tuoba Yan pursed her lips, as if she agreed with what Ji Luoyun said.
Fang Hanniang smiled, did not continue to talk about Ji Luoyun's words, and said, "...... Lu Huaiqing and Mingyue and I arrived in the capital so peacefully. Who knew that Miss Lu probably had a habit of pretending to be weak, and she was approaching the capital, so she couldn't hold it back, so she had to sing and say to Miss Mingyue that I was bullying them. β
Fang Hanniang spread her hands: "Come, let's talk about it, when a person takes advantage of you, he has to kick his nose in the face, stand on the moral high ground and say that I bullied them, what should I, Mr. Dongguo, who was bitten by a wolf, do?" β
Fang Hanniang didn't wait for everyone to say anything, she didn't ask for empathy anyway, she continued: "...... There may be people with very good cultivation who will feel that they will not help them next time. I can't cultivate kung fu, since they keep saying that I have bullied them, I don't 'bully' it, and I'm really sorry for the name they gave me...... Since it has been in my carriage for so long and has enjoyed the treatment of being escorted by a dart team for such a long journey, it is not too much to think about settling the dart fee. β
"Not too much, not too much." Ji Luoyun said repeatedly, she quietly stabbed Ruan Zhixuan next to her, "Your little aunt has a good temperament and has an appetite for me." β
Ruan Zhixuan didn't speak, but smiled proudly.
Fang Hanniang said with a smile: "The whole dart fee is a total of eight hundred taels of silver, and Miss Lu rubbed most of the way, giving a hundred taels of silver, isn't it too much?" Besides, I didn't take this silver tael myself, but gave it to the dart masters of the dart team, which is considered the hard work of escorting an extra person. β
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case, and the eyes they looked at Lu Huaiqing and Mingyue were very meaningful.
Rao is used to pretending to be poor Lu Huaiqing, and the cheeky Mingyue can't wait to go underground at this moment.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about these trivial things, it's boring." Tuoba Yan yawned, took out an arrow for pitching pots from the quiver on the side, played with the tail of the arrow in his hand, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you were going to throw pots?" Come and play, or you'll waste such a good arrow made of peacock tails. β
Ji Luoyun whispered to Ruan Zhixuan: "I just insisted on asking clearly that it was she who joined in the fun, and it was really her who said it was boring right now...... Tuoba Yan is really ......"
Ruan Zhixuan saw Ji Luoyun's young age complaining like this, and smiled secretly.
was about to come over to throw pots, but a few ladies who had nothing to do came to Ji Luoyun to study the pot throwers. Ji Luoyun is young, and he doesn't hate people very much, so he still thinks Tuoba Yan is annoying, but now that he sees Tuoba Yan playing with the pitcher in that Zhang, he can't hold it back, and he looks like he wants to go and is a little hesitant, Fang Hanniang who looks at it can't help laughing.
Fang Hanniang simply held Ruan Zhixuan's arm while holding Ji Luoyun's hand and went to the pitcher.
