Fang Hanniang and a few people took their seats.

Grandma Qiu Er looked around, and saw that the maids behind many girls were holding large or small brocade boxes in their hands, thinking that they should be a collection ready for auction.

In fact, it stands to reason that these collections should be sent to the Zhongyong Palace's mansion first, so as not to cause any chaos during the banquet, such as shoddy and fake, which are not very dignified.

However, the Zhongyong Mansion refused to accept this burden, as if they were a little afraid that after these things were sent, with their handling, it would be difficult to say whether it was true or not.

Fang Hanniang and the others didn't bring the collection.

It's not that there is nothing in the Pingguo Mansion that can be handled, it's really that Fang Hanniang is too lazy to distract herself from the collection, in case someone makes a trick again, then she will be splashed with some sewage by someone who cares.

It's better to just take the silver ticket and donate the silver ticket more simply.

There was still some time before the feast, and many girls and their relatives gathered together in twos and threes to talk. Or talk about the chores at home at the end of the year, or talk about some interesting news in the capital recently.

Grandma Qiu Er also has some good female relatives on weekdays, but because of Ruan Zhilan's mental condition, Qiu Er's grandmother didn't dare to stay away from Ruan Zhilan, so she didn't dare to leave the table. Some of her friends came over to exchange a few words with her.

Ruan Zhilan has been listening honestly beside Grandma Qiu.

Fang Hanniang quietly took a cup of tea, and also sat on the side and listened to Grandma Qiu'er, occasionally showing a few dignified smiles to deal with other people's inquiries.

At this time, she didn't expect that an uninvited guest would come to her.

The person in front of him, dressed in silk and satin, combed the woman's hairstyle, his eyes were rolling, standing not far from Fang Hanniang, looking at Fang Hanniang and smiling slightly.

It's just that there seems to be some condescension in that smile.

"Miss Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time."

In the past, when the man spoke, his voice was always soft and gentle, with a sense of pity and pity; At present, there is probably a change in the mood, although the voice is still Jiangnan Nong, the pitiful meaning in the words is gone, replaced by a kind of pride that can't be suppressed.

Fang Hanniang looked at the little woman in front of her with a smile and did not speak.

The little woman saw that Fang Hanniang still looked down on people like this, and her face couldn't help but turn pale.

She bit her lip slightly, raised her arm and stroked her sideburns, as if she was deliberately reminding Fang Hanniang that she had combed the woman's hairstyle.

"Miss Fang is really a noble person who forgets things, why don't you say a word, don't you remember me?" The little woman's voice inevitably took on a sharpness, "Is this the way that the Pingguo Mansion taught Miss Fang to treat others?" ”

"Oh, no," the little woman immediately covered her mouth slightly, revealing a half-coquettish smile, "I forgot, although Miss Fang is the cousin of the Pingguo Mansion, she grew up in the mountains and villages, and her natural life habits are all from the countryside......"

Fang Hanniang wanted to quietly watch the performance of the person in front of her, but who knew that the more she spoke, the more out of tune, and she got involved in the Pingguo Mansion, the expression on Fang Hanniang's face became more and more light, and her thin lips opened slightly: "Miss Lu, is there something wrong with you?" ”

The implication is, don't get in the way if you're fine.

Lu Huaiqing, who had already combed the woman's hairstyle, was teased by Fang Hanniang's simple words, and her face turned a little pale.

Lu Huaiqing's own mentality is humble, so she always feels that Fang Hanniang talks to her with a condescending feeling.

Why is she Fang Hanniang!

She's just an adulterous child whose biological mother eloped with someone!

For the matter of taking a concubine for the prince of the Eastern Capital, Mrs. Hou of the Eastern Capital looked down on her Fang Hanniang, but she fell in love with her Lu Huaiqing, which shows that she Lu Huaiqing is much stronger than her Fang Hanniang!

Lu Huaiqing smiled slightly with a hint of happiness: "Miss Fang probably doesn't know, I'm already married." ”

Fang Hanniang nodded, and said insincerely: "Oh, that's congratulations." ”

The expression on Lu Huaiqing's face stiffened slightly.

But she didn't believe that Fang Hanniang would really be as indifferent as she showed, and she emphasized a little unwillingly: "I married into the Eastern Capital Mansion. ”

Fang Hanniang's face finally got her wish with a surprised expression that she wanted to see.

Lu Huaiqing felt a kind of happiness in his heart.

With her family background, marrying a prince of the Hou Mansion as a concubine is already an excellent family affair. Because of this, Lu Huaiqing always couldn't help but want to show off to all the people who looked down on her before.

As long as Lu Huaiqing thought of the look of shock on the faces of those who had looked down on her, she couldn't help but be excited.

Right now, Fang Hanniang's face, which has always been high, finally appeared the look she wanted to see the most, why wasn't Lu Huaiqing excited in her heart?

She was about to laugh at Fang Hanniang, but who knew that she heard the other party's voice was clear and soft, and there was no fluctuation in tone, and she said there: "Miss Lu, please be careful." As far as I know, you are the concubine of the prince of the Eastern Capital. The word 'marry' cannot be used in the concubine's room. ”

Lu Huaiqing seemed to be being put in a basin of cold water on the head.

Her face was pale, her eyes were staring at Fang Hanniang, her lips and nose were trembling slightly, obviously she was extremely angry, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

Concubine!? What's wrong with the concubine?!

After a long time, Lu Huaiqing seemed to have just found her voice, and she heard her voice as if squeezed out of her teeth, with a smell of ice slag: "Oh? Does Miss Fang look down on the concubine? ”

Fang Hanniang shook her head slightly, with a straight face: "There is nothing to look down on." I'm just correcting Miss Lu's words. lest Miss Lu make a joke in front of others. ”

Lu Huaiqing really can't wait to pounce on Fang Hanniang's flesh and bones!

What she hates the most is Fang Hanniang's sanctimonious appearance!

However, how Lu Huaiqing is, Fang Hanniang doesn't take her to heart at all.

is a helpless person, if she hadn't jumped out to find a sense of existence, Fang Hanniang would never have taken the initiative to deal with it.

The lives of others have nothing to do with her.

Fang Hanniang thought about it very much.

"Qing'er, come back."

There was a somewhat angry voice from Mrs. Dongdu Hou.

She was just greeting Mrs. Hou next to her, and she didn't hear what Lu Huaiqing said in the same Fang Hanniang, and when she noticed it, she saw Lu Huaiqing in front of Fang Hanniang, looking very out of shape.

Lu Huaiqing seemed to wake up from a dream, lowered her head slightly, and returned to Mrs. Hou of the Eastern Capital.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou was unwilling for Lu Huaiqing to deal with Fang Hanniang.

She will never forget the humiliation she suffered in the Pingguo Mansion.

Just that adulterous child? Princess Yujing actually went to the door in person to ask for her son's marriage?

Especially now that she has accepted Lu Huaiqing into the house for her son, although Lu Huaiqing is good in her eyes, she is innocent, has a gentle temperament, and looks like the IKEA IKEA room, but I have to say that compared with Fang Hanniang, not to mention the side, there is a stop, and the gap is still huge.

In all fairness, Lu Huaiqing's little jasper is actually very attractive, but standing in front of Fang Hanniang, Fang Hanniang's impactful and beautiful appearance has lost seven or eight points of color to Lu Huaiqing's little jasper.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou hurriedly called Lu Huaiqing back and introduced her to the lady of the family who was close to her.

It stands to reason that on this occasion, a concubine should not come forward. But after all, this is the only famous female dependant in the courtyard of the Hou Shizi of Dongdu, and Mrs. Hou of the Eastern Capital is holding back her strength, wanting to let the wives who have secretly laughed at her son for many years see, even if it is her son's concubine, it is also extremely good!

Although the lady of the family smiled on her face, she was extremely unhappy in her heart.

A concubine, you also called me so special to introduce me, did you borrow me to elevate the identity of that concubine, or did you look down on me?

The family's wife's originally enthusiastic smile suddenly faded a little.

The lady of the family didn't say a few words, and left with a cold face.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou didn't care much either, after all, this charity banquet had begun.

At the last charity banquet held by the crown princess, Mrs. Dongdu Hou wanted to take a picture back, which could not only show her face in front of the crown princess, but also win a bit of folk reputation for the family. However, in the last low-price stage, the ladies fought too hard, although the asking price could not be compared with the lot that cost tens of thousands of taels of silver at the back, but for Mrs. Dongdu Hou, it was not a small amount.

After all, over the years, due to poor management, although it is a Hou Mansion, it has already been a bit like the twilight.

In the end, Mrs. Dongdu Hou didn't shoot anything.

missed the low price in front and the tens of thousands of taels of silver in the back, Mrs. Hou of Dongdu couldn't think of it.

After going back, Dongdu Hou learned that his wife hadn't taken anything, so he was so angry that he went to sleep with the concubine that night.

In this charity auction held by the Zhongyong Palace, Mrs. Dongdu Hou not only brought a silver ticket, but the maid behind her also brought an antique jade bottle that Dongdu Hou had treasured for many years, which was extremely valuable according to Dongdu Hou.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou felt that she must be sure of nine times this time.

Even if she can't shoot it, as long as someone shoots her jade bottle, she can be regarded as donating silver!

……

After a short time, Princess Zhongyong and the lord of Fu'an finally arrived.

Princess Zhongyong has been widowed in the palace all the year round, and she has not attended banquets in the upper circles for many years, and rarely appears in front of people.

Several ladies who knew Princess Zhongyong were secretly surprised when they saw it, and they all felt that Princess Zhongyong was very old these years.

In contrast, the lord of Fu'an, who was wrapped in a thick cloak by Princess Zhongyong's side, looked a lot more delicate.

However......

Many ladies of the family frowned slightly in their hearts, and this Fu'an county lord seemed to have a sense of anger in his expression.

It is indeed a lot of anger.

Fang Hanniang faced the gloomy eyes of the county lord of Fu'an, and became more and more calm.

The county lord of Fu'an stared at Fang Hanniang for a while, seeing that her expression did not change in the slightest, and even raised her eyes and smiled calmly at herself, the fire in the heart of the county lord of Fu'an jumped up.
