Chapter 6: Discord
Feeling Liu Yue's vicious gaze piercing her body like a knife, but thinking of what Miss said, Peony tried her best to restrain the fear in her heart and straightened her back.
When Liu Yue and Yu Mingzhu left the Yu Mansion in the carriage, Peony hurriedly turned around and rushed over.
I saw Yu Changge just walked out from behind the rockery, holding Dr. Li's medicine box from yesterday in his hand.
Peony was a little puzzled and said, "Miss, why are you keeping this box?" β
Yu Changge smiled faintly when he heard this, his eyes were deep, "This is the box of the Rejuvenation Hall, how useful is it...... It's big! β
ββ
This Shangshu Mansion is the Shangshu Lord, but the courtiers favored by the emperor today, and many people are stammering. Shangshu Mansion is also very magnificently built.
After handing over the post, Yu Changge and Peony, led by the maid, walked to the banquet of today's spring banquet. Yu Changge has been watched by many people along the way.
After all, she was born with an exceptionally delicate and beautiful face, without powder, and has the feeling of being between a girl and a woman. Dressed in plain light gauze, the gray-green belt ties up the waist of the puffy hand, and the steps are elegant and light.
As for the light brown scab on her face, it was not the most striking under her excessively fair countenance.
It's just that Yu Changge has never appeared in the circle of these famous and noble women, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted a lot of curious eyes, and of course, there were many jealous and disdainful eyes.
After all, what this body says is plain, and what it says is ugly, it is cold.
"Yo, isn't this the second miss of the Yu family? Why did you come alone, I think Mrs. Yu and the third lady have already arrived! Suddenly, a sarcastic female voice came from the stinger.
Following the direction from which the voice came, Yu Changge raised his eyes and looked.
A young girl in a blue Luo skirt was standing in front of her, her hands on her chest, her chin slightly raised, and her face was very disdainful.
The girl's name is Zhao Jin, and her father is the largest grain merchant in the capital, because her grandfather once offered food for the army free of charge during the founding war of the Jun Dynasty.
In her father's generation, because the country gradually stabilized, the wars decreased, and the food was abundant, Zhao Quan only did a mere official position in the capital, but under the policy that merchants were not allowed to enter the court as officials, they became a unique existence.
Zhao Jin and Yu Mingzhu can be regarded as a pair of plastic sisters. Right now, Zhao Jin is also deliberately provoking Yu Changge.
As expected, as soon as Zhao Jin's words came out, the eyes of the surrounding nobles who looked at Yu Changge changed.
Peony was a little flustered all of a sudden, but Yu Changge walked towards Zhao Jin unhurriedly, his face was calm, and he said with a smile: "It's funny to find a girl." How can I sit with my aunt and sister? Isn't it a loss of dignity and humility? β
As soon as Yu Changge's words fell, Zhao Jin's face changed, and the whispers around him also changed the direction of the wind.
"What does this mean? The Yu family actually asked an aunt to come to the spring banquet! β
"This is simply an insult to the face of the people of Shangshufu!"
"But...... Why haven't I heard that there is a concubine in Shangshu Mansion? β
Zhao Jin suddenly sneered and said: "I have heard Mingzhu say a long time ago, she has an older sister, who nests in the courtyard on weekdays, does not greet the elders, has no respect for the elders, and has low morality!" I've seen it today! β
"Nope! No way! Yu Changge's eyes suddenly turned red, he bit his lower lip hard, opened his mouth and said angrily: "The third sister is obviously such a knowledgeable person, how could she say such slanderous words against me!" β
"You're stirring up a wedge between our sisters!" She shouted angrily at Zhao Jin: "You must be so separated from us because the third sister brought customized jewelry today and didn't prepare it for you!" β
When he boarded, the faces of the people present changed.
Zhao Jin's face suddenly darkened. Custom-made jewelry? Yu Mingzhu didn't say anything to her! She actually hid her jewelry! What does she want to do? Win the attention of Yun Concubine, is it good to enter the palace?!
Good you Yu Mingzhu! How selfish it is!
Others have different looks. The people present were all the daughters of various wealthy families, but they didn't expect that they would actually mix in with the concubines and aunts of a merchant, and let the concubines be so wronged! Even looking at Yu Changge's eyes had a hint of pity.
None of the people present were human spirits, and it could be heard from the words of Zhao Jin and Yu Changge that Yu Mingzhu was obviously deliberately spreading rumors that this sister-in-law was not good. Such a vicious woman with a broken mouth was really raised by her aunt!
This Miss Yu Jiayan still believes it so much! It's so naΓ―ve.
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff. At this time, a woman wearing a goose yellow dress walked out and said softly: "Two sisters, what a good day today's spring banquet is, don't complain here because of some bad things." Let's hurry to the back garden! β
"Come to think of it, Mrs. Shangshu and the ladies of various families, as well as Concubine Yun, have all arrived!" Her words immediately struck the hearts of all the women present, and they didn't have time to watch the play, so they hurried to the direction of the garden with their maids.
But Zhao Jin's face can't be erased, although she and Yu Mingzhu are plastic sisters, but she can't get used to Yu Changge!
Zhao Jin snorted at Yu Changge, turned around and twisted his body and followed the nobles.
Yu Changge looked at the woman in the goose yellow dress, pretending to be stoic and tearful and smiling hard, and said, "Thank you for this sister." β
"Sister Yu doesn't have to be polite." The woman smiled gently, "My name is Zhou Hao, and my father is Zhou Hanqing, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites." β
Yu Changge was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face showed an ignorant look, "Thank you, Sister Zhou." β
Zhou Hao raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that this Yu Changge in front of her was not surprised at all by her identity, or had any ideas to cling to, and couldn't help but be curious: "Do you know my father?" β
"No...... Ignorance. Yu Changge lowered his eyes and replied with a little shame: "I have been ...... all year round No, because of my weak body, I don't go out much all year round, and I don't know a lot of things and adults......"
Zhou Hao squinted her eyes slightly, she obviously felt that there was something wrong with the pause in Yu Changge's words, but she didn't say it directly.
She couldn't help but feel a little pity for Yu Changge in her heart, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't know, my father is just a petty official." It's not early, Sister Yu, let's go together. β
Petty officer? Joke! From the second-grade official, equivalent to the deputy minister level, this Zhou Zhen is really too modest! Yu Changge tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, but his face was soft, and he nodded politely: "Okay, thank you, Sister Zhou." β
On the other side, Zhao Jin walked into the back garden of Shangshu Mansion angrily, and saw Yu Mingzhu and her aunt and mother sitting in the pavilion at a glance, dressed up in fancy clothes, surrounding Mrs. Shangshu, and immediately became angry!
Naturally, she also saw the delicate and unique golden hairpin bead flower on Yu Mingzhu's head, which made her face more and more beautiful!
