Chapter 5: Deliberate Brutality

Aunt Zhao's words were interrupted by Bai Yueyu, "Impossible! Lin Lang had already used the silver to read the dossier, there would be no mistake, he must have been hit. Maybe the family is busy celebrating, and they forgot to let someone say it. ”

Before her words fell, the door curtain opened and a person came in from outside the door, both of them were bright-eyed, but when they saw that the person who came was Bai Zonglin, who had an ugly face, Aunt Zhao greeted her with a smile.

"Master, why are you here?"

After Bai Zonglin came in, he only stood at the door, looked at Bai Yueyu fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Cai Boren and Song Yang made a special trip to see it, and there was clearly no Lin Sheng's name on the emperor list, and he fell off the list." ”

Bai Yueyu fell softly on the ground, muttering in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, is it that they didn't see clearly, Lin Lang obviously hit it." ”

Bai Zonglin snorted coldly: "The matter has come to this, I can't help you not believe it, in short, my Bai family can't afford to lose this person." From today on, you will stay at home, and your mother and I will find you a suitable good mother-in-law as soon as possible, so you can get married with peace of mind. ”

The matter has come to this point, and after receiving the order to find Bai Yueyu's in-laws, the Qi family did not dare to pretend to be sick anymore, and started to do it in a hurry.

Fortunately, Qi had already seen her a lot before, and she made a list in a few days. Bai Zonglin looked at it carefully and felt that it was still suitable, so he asked her to give it to Bai Yueyu to make her own choice.

Although Qi tried his best to be responsible, he was reluctant in his heart. A concubine who does such ugly things that disgrace the family, if she comes according to the clan rules, she should rush to the village village to fend for herself, but she still has to worry about her like this, especially when she thinks of her fox aunt, her heart is even more unhappy.

Fortunately, her mother's sister-in-law, Zhang, happened to send her a post of enjoying the Spring Festival banquet in Yong'an Houfu, which finally made Qi's spirit a little more energetic. You must know that this post of Yong'an Houfu is hard to find, if it weren't for the face of her father and brother in the court, her sister-in-law wouldn't be able to give her more pictures.

This lady of Yong'an Houfu is the sister of the emperor today, Princess Pingle, Princess Pingle is about old and has nothing to do, and she likes to build bridges for juniors and talk about marriage, so many small banquets on weekdays are actually blind date banquets.

Bai Yanran was taken by the Qi family to dress up after getting up this morning, she was a beautiful and delicate girl, and this good makeup was even more dazzling. packed up the mother and daughter and went out to Qi's house first, this was the first time Bai Yanran came to her grandfather's house after being reborn.

When they arrived, the men of the Qi family were still busy in the court, and only their grandmother Xu and aunt Zhang were at home. Bai Yanran inadvertently saw her cousin Qi Simin with white powder on the corner of her sleeve, so she quietly called her out to remind her.

When he got outside, Qi Simin hurriedly patted the flour, stuck out his tongue and looked at Bai Yanran embarrassedly and said: "I think it was accidentally stained by me in the stove room, but fortunately you reminded me that if my mother finds out later, she will definitely reprimand me again." ”

Bai Yanran said curiously: "I'm about to go to the banquet, what are you going to do in the stove room?" ”

Qi Simin's face was full of helplessness, and he pouted: "I don't want to go to the Spring Festival banquet, I went to see those sons of the family who pretended to be good, but they couldn't even get a show, so it was better to eat two drawers of dim sum." ”

In her previous life, Bai Yanran had no contact with this cousin, but she didn't know that she was such a wonderful person.

But in her previous life, she had to marry into the Jianwang Mansion because of a scandal, and tied the entire Qi family to the boat of Jianwang. After King Jian's army was defeated, the Qi family naturally became a chaotic minister and thief, and even his brother was also affected by Chiyu.

Having said that, but the mother's fate was difficult to disobey, and when the time was almost up, the two had to follow their mother into their own carriage to Yongning Palace. Arrived at the gate of Yongning Palace, it was already full of traffic, although the post of this spring banquet is extremely rare, not ordinary people can be invited, but the most important thing in the capital is nobles.

When they went out, they had to kill their own faΓ§ade, and the two had to behave, as their mother greeted the ladies and greeted each other, stopped and stopped, talked and laughed, and finally sat down in the banquet until the beginning of the banquet.

As soon as she did this, Bai Yanran heard a cold snort from the diagonal opposite side of the front seat, and looked up to see a girl in a fancy dress staring at Qi Simin. It happened that Princess Pingle came at this moment, and the girl in the gorgeous dress immediately got up to greet her.

"Auntie, why did you come, Yueyao has been waiting for you for a long time."

This girl in Chinese costume is none other than Gu Yueyao, the head of Mingzhu County, the daughter of the late Princess Pingyang. Bai Yanran recognized her because in her previous life, she ran to King An's Mansion in three days and two days, but she didn't know what she had with Simin.

The banquet of this spring feast is placed on the covered bridge, the flowers and trees on the side of the corridor, and the murmuring water under the corridor, but it does not live up to the name of spring appreciation. The banquet was full of female guests, and the male guests gathered in the hexagonal pavilion at the head of the bridge to show off their knowledge.

After the ladies of Xi San will "rush" to the house to walk around, the sons will invite their favorite young ladies to go out together. If the young lady is intentional, she can naturally promote a marriage, if she is unintentional, she just needs to find an excuse to refuse, and she will save each other embarrassment and restraint.

Princess Pingle said a few words and the banquet began, and the maids in the house began to cook vegetables one by one, and there was even a plate of spring rolls fried with various seasonal vegetables. Bai Yanran only saw Qi Simin's eyes light up, and then the plate of spring rolls in front of her quickly disappeared.

Zhang coughed lightly twice and reminded his daughter that which one of the people who came to the Yongning Mansion for the banquet really came to eat here. You must know that you can see this corridor in the pavilion over there, so the behavior of the young ladies during the meal is also in the consideration of the sons, and it is about the first one who eats as seriously as Qi Simin.

Qi Simin was afraid that he would go back to be trained, so he didn't dare to let go of the food again, but the chopsticks still didn't stop, and when the dishes were withdrawn, the table on their side was the most empty.

Gu Yueyao let out a sneer at the right time, and looked at her defiantly. Qi Simin was in a happy mood after eating and drinking, and turned a big turn at her. The big white eyes no longer paid attention to it, and Gu Yueyao's face turned red angrily.

After eating and eating, I replaced it with tea, but this tea is not delicious, Princess Pingle smiled and said: "Today I am in the middle of the spring. The beauty gathers, such a beautiful scenery can not be disappointed, it is better for the ladies to show their talents, let me wait for the eyes to be full. Whoever can come out on top will give me a pot of flowers brewed in the spring. Honey as a reward, how? ”

When the princess spoke, naturally no one should do it. And this is a long-standing example, it is a lot of young ladies around the maids who are holding piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in their hands, and even Su Xin is holding the Konghou brought by Qi in his arms.

When the ladies were still looking at each other, Gu Yueyao was already proud. Ran got up and said, "Come on, bring my Nine Heavens Ring." ”

A small servant brought tables and chairs, and Gu Yueyao's maid carefully placed the guqin in her arms properly, and she came prepared. Soon there were bursts of pleasant piano sounds in the corridor, Gu Yueyao was good at the qin, and there were precious guqins such as Jiuxiao Huanpei in hand, the sound of the piano was naturally good, and everyone couldn't help but listen attentively.

But Xin Xin Ling. What turned in the hearts of the people of Long was another thought, this Nine Heavens Ring Pei was a thousand-year-old guqin paid tribute by foreign countries. Concubine Xiao has always been the most favored, and she asked the emperor several times to no avail, but she didn't want the emperor to give it to the lord of Mingzhu, so it seems that the lord of Mingzhu really has a sacred heart.

As soon as the song fell, Gu Yueyao got up and blessed Princess Pingle slightly, and Princess Pingle smiled with relief: "Yueyao is good at the piano, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have opponents in the capital." ”

Everyone naturally complimented her, Gu Yueyao couldn't hide the smug look on her face, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the hexagonal pavilion, and she was a little disappointed when she retracted her gaze.

Seeing that the county lord of Mingzhu got up, another woman left the table to prepare to perform, but saw Gu Yueyao's eyes turn and looked at Bai Yanran and them. As soon as Bai Yanran had an ominous premonition in her heart, she heard Gu Yueyao say: "I have heard that Miss Qi is talented, but I have never been able to comprehend it, I think Miss Qi will not sweep the thin noodles of this county lord today, right?" ”

This fluttering sentence made Qi Simin immediately the target of everyone, and the woman in blue who had left the table also stood in place in embarrassment, in a dilemma. Just when Qi Simin was stunned, Bai Yanran heard the whispers of the two young ladies beside her.

"This young lady of the Qi family has always been lonely and nameless, and her appearance is not more than Er'er, how can she have such a unique reputation?"

"I think it's just the lord of Mingzhu County, I'm afraid that she still remembers that the queen mother once deliberately pointed out Miss Qi to King An, so she deliberately made things difficult."

"Ah, it's no wonder that there is such a thing......"

It is well known that the lord of Mingzhu County is devoted to King An, and she has always been rude, and everyone thinks that this Miss Qi is going to lose face today.

After all, with the Pearl County Lord's Nine Heavens Ring Peiqin Sound Zhuyu in front, Miss Qi is probably difficult to compare, and her appearance is inferior to that of the Pearl County Lord, so that the talent and color are untenable, I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of the capital before tomorrow.

But even so, everyone was still looking forward to it, and they wondered what kind of talent this young lady of the Qi family who had always lived in a simple place was.

However, Zhang is already anxious, others don't know, but he knows very well.

This daughter of mine is not a martial artist, she is only proficient in good cooking, and she doesn't know whether she wants to be a cook or what. So she deliberately didn't bring a musical instrument when she came today, but she didn't want to do something that was rare for the main strongmen in Mingzhu County, so now she can only resign herself to fate.

"What, Miss Qi is looking down on this county lord?"

When Qi Simin was at a loss, Bai Yanran beside her got up and quietly held her hand, and then said unhurriedly: "The county lord is angry, my sister is just shy and not good at words. However, since the county lord praised her sister for her talent, it was not easy for my sister to hide it anymore, but my sister did not bring the piano in her hand today, so it was not good to learn from the county lord's Jiuxiao Huanpei. ”

Bai Yanran's words meant that Gu Yueyao was just relying on the Nine Heavens Ring in her hand, even if she won Qi Simin, she would not be able to win.

Gu Yueyao was speechless for a while, and before she could speak, Bai Yanran had already continued: "But even if my sister doesn't have anything to take advantage of, it doesn't matter, my sister's singing voice is pleasant, my sister is willing to play the piano for my sister, my sister said okay?" ”
