Chapter 52: Deliberate
Wen Qingyi stepped forward to hold Wen Qingyao, her voice was soft and weak, but she said in a voice that everyone could hear, "Sister has just come back, I don't know the rules of Beijing, so let's wait for us to go out together in the future." ”
Wen Qingyi's sentence clearly explained that she was late, but Wen Qingyao didn't wait for everyone.
Ming Jinyuan opened the distance between Wen Qingyi and Wen Qingyao at this moment, and intimately pulled Wen Qingyi to his side, "Cousin Yi'er, don't get close to her, it's so rude, I'm afraid it will affect you in the future." ”
Everyone is bowing their heads and laughing, and some of the clearer young ladies shook their heads slightly, how can the Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion be said to be one family, and now their own families are not afraid to make jokes about their own young ladies.
But the Ming family didn't care, she just wanted everyone to see Wen Qingyao's appearance, so that the noble family in Beijing would not dare to come to the door to marry Wen Qingyao, so that Wen Qingyao could enter the palace safely.
Wen Qingyao didn't want to say anything, she was at the gate of Shangshu Mansion today, and she saw what the Ming family did, but she was not a stupid person, if she argued with Wen Qingyi and others, it would just make other family members see the jokes of the Xiangfu Mansion, and it would also leave an impudent impression on Mrs. Shangshu, Wen Qingyao would not do such stupid things.
Wen Qingyi was surprised by Wen Qingyao's calmness, if she was at home, Wen Qingyao would have hurt people if she was treated like this, but now Wen Qingyao stood up straight and didn't say anything, if everyone said a few more words, no matter how you look at it, it would look like a bully.
The Ming clan also didn't expect Wen Qingyao to say nothing, and she saw that some ladies looked at her with strange eyes.
can only pretend to be a loving mother again, and stepped forward to hold Wen Qingyao's hand, she thought that Wen Qingyao would shake it off, but she didn't expect that Wen Qingyao would not refuse, and softly let Ming hold it.
Wen Qingyao was like this, which reminded everyone of the scene where several people bullied Wen Qingyao, and they couldn't help but feel pity for Wen Qingyao, thinking that Wen Qingyao was sent to the nunnery after the Ming family entered the door, and everyone also felt that the kind smile on Ming's face was very fake.
Everyone whispered, Wen Qingyi lowered her head, she didn't know why Wen Qingyao could easily resolve the danger they had deliberately set up every time.
And she didn't understand why Wen Qingyao was always able to have a temperament for a while, such Wen Qingyao really didn't look like she came back from the nunnery, but as if she was born and grew up in the backyard.
The Ming clan didn't want to listen to people's whispers, and took a few young ladies into the door, Wen Qingyao meekly followed aside, at this hour, the young ladies who should have come were almost here, and they entered the Shangshu Mansion one after another.
The courtyard used to entertain the ladies and ladies of the Ministry of Rites is particularly chic, and the ladies and ladies have taken their own ladies to sit down.
Mrs. Shangshu came out with a smile, seeing that everyone had arrived, and ordered someone to serve tea, Wen Qingyao lowered her head and picked up the teacup, but saw that there was a lily in the cup, she looked up in surprise, and happened to meet Mrs. Shangshu's eyes.
Wen Qingyao lowered her head and pulled the smile from the corner of her mouth, Mrs. Shangshu saw everything in her eyes, Wen Qingyao's experience in front of the door had reached her ears, so she specially ordered someone to prepare such a cup of tea to comfort Wen Qingyao.
When they arrived at the courtyard, everyone naturally put down their veils one after another, Wen Qingyao's eyes were already eye-catching, and now everyone secretly looked at her, curious about her appearance under the veil.
It was only until everyone took off their veils that Wen Qingyao did not take off her veil.
When Ming Jinyuan looked at it and was about to find fault, Wen Qingyao got up gently, her movements were elegant and generous, and she saluted Mrs. Shangshu uprightly, "Madam, Qingyao occasionally felt cold yesterday, and it was inconvenient to put down the veil, please redeem Qingyao's rudeness." ”
Mrs. Shangshu looked at Wen Qingyao's moist eyes, those eyes were so bright that she couldn't let go of a trace of concealment, Mrs. Shangshu nodded with joy to her in her heart, "So, take it." ”
Wen Qingyao was allowed to bow and thank you again before re-seating, Wen Qingyi turned her eyes and asked with concern, "When did my sister get caught the wind cold?" But what matters? ”
Wen Qingyao shook her head, "Sister doesn't have to worry, it's just that I caught a cold when I accompanied my father to enjoy the lotus flowers last night, and it's not a big deal." ”
Wen Qingyao's words made Ming's and Wen Qingyi's eyes flash with a slight anger, but they could only hide it as much as they could.
Wen Qingyao deliberately said this, not only for the mother and daughter of the Qi Ming family, but also for everyone present to know that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was extremely favored by Wen Yu, and whoever wanted to provoke her in the future would also weigh it.
Sure enough, as soon as Wen Qingyao's words came out, everyone present began to talk to each other, secretly saying that after Ming Jinyuan was beaten by Wen Qingyao, his father was also troubled by Wen Yu, so everyone knew that Wen Yu was very distressed about this young lady.
"I invite you to come today, in order to be a month later, the ladies are accompanied by their wives today, and the ladies will come by themselves tomorrow, during this time, the people in the palace will come to teach etiquette, and I will also watch, don't feel sorry for your daughters when the ladies arrive."
Mrs. Shangshu attracted everyone's attention, and everyone listened patiently, and Mrs. Shangshu said at this time, "This year, the lady in the palace said that the selected Sanhua needs to show her talents, so the talents of the ladies cannot be left behind." ”
Everyone nodded frequently, and then Ming Jinyuan looked at Wen Qingyao and asked with a smile, "Cousin Qingyao must have never learned any talent in the nunnery, cousin has something she wants to learn, I will know some for the time being." ”
When Ming Jinyuan is not talking, an apple face is actually very cute, but if he speaks, it often makes people unhappy.
Although everyone here didn't like Ming Jinyuan to deceive people too much, they couldn't refute it, Ming Jinyuan grew up under the Duchess's knees, and she was both literary and artistic, what she said was true, and she did know everything.
Ming Jinyuan was so sarcastic about Wen Qingyao, Wen Qingyao was not angry, Wen Sheng replied, "Then thank you Cousin Jinyuan first." ”
Ming Jinyuan looked at Wen Qingyao incredulously, no matter how they stimulated Wen Qingyao today, Wen Qingyao was just not angry, this really made her angry, Ming Jinyuan looked at Wen Qingyao's bright eyes, and was angry.
Wen Qingyao also looked at Ming Jinyuan's angry eyes, and when she looked at her, she knew that she had a scheming.
Ming Jinyuan deliberately poured a cup of hot tea, got up and brought it to Wen Qingyao, "Cousin, a few days ago, Jinyuan was ignorant, and now he replaces wine with tea, and I hope my cousin will forgive Jinyuan." ”
Ming Jinyuan said, the hand serving the tea trembled, Wen Qingyao had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Ming Jinyuan was careful, Wen Qingyao could see it.
I saw Wen Qingyao get up quickly, and before Ming Jinyuan could react, he held Ming Jinyuan's wrist holding the tea with both hands, the coldness in his eyes spread, but his voice was soft, "Cousin Jinyuan, how can you hold such hot tea, if your white and tender skin can't stand it, how can it be good to spill it." ”
Wen Qingyao let go of Ming Jinyuan's wrist, put her hands on the back of Ming Jinyuan's hand, and held Ming Jinyuan's hand tightly against the teacup, "It's okay to sprinkle it, I'm just afraid of bumping into other young ladies, when the time comes, not only will you be wrong, but my grandmother will inevitably be said, pity her old man for her hard work to raise you, cousin Jinyuan should be cautious." ”
Ming Jinyuan's palms were burned red, and the tender white lining was hot and painful, but Wen Qingyao didn't let go.
Ming Jinyuan gritted her teeth in pain, so she had to say unwillingly, "I know." ”
Wen Qingyao sneered, quickly let go, Ming Jinyuan's hot hand was not restrained, and suddenly let go of the hot cup of tea.
The ladies were all sitting, and as soon as the tea fell, it smashed on the edge of the table, and the sound of the sharp porcelain pieces breaking and the screams of the ladies made Ming Jinyuan panic instantly.
Wen Qingyi, who happened to be sitting next to Wen Qingyao, looked up in panic, looking at the hot tea that was about to gradually reach her, but fortunately it was blocked by a sleeve, and when she looked up, it was Wen Qingyao, Wen Qingyi's eyes were full of surprise.
