Chapter 18: Ex-husband
With the help of Lin Qiantan and Jiang Zhiyue, Jiang Ningniang had a lot less trouble on her shoulders, and naturally she packed up all the things needed for the birthday banquet properly.
On the day of the birthday banquet, the door of the Chu family was wide open to welcome the guests. The three cousins also stood at the second gate to help greet the guests as the hosts.
The feast is set up in a scenic pavilion on the edge of the pond, with tables set up along a wide corridor. It is also bounded by a pond, and roughly divides the seats of men and women, with men on the left and women on the right, on both sides.
Batches of guests came one after another, saying that it was a small banquet, but in fact, with the status of the Chu family, the scale was still not small.
From the princes and generals, down to the five-grade officials, and the daughters of the family, most of those who are qualified to come to the door to celebrate.
Jinhe was clever, and was taken by Lin Qiantan to help, she keenly felt that Lin Qiantan's body lines were a little stiff, and the appearance of staring at the front was as if she was waiting for someone to come.
Facing the right prime minister, Gu Pingzheng was taking his granddaughter in, and Lin Qiantan's expression was so different that it even attracted the attention of Gu Qingxuan, the young lady of the Gu family. Gu Qingxuan turned around and smiled sweetly at Lin Qiantan, but Lin Qiantan didn't notice her.
In my ear, the girl-in-law was whispering while there were no guests for the time being: "... It is said that the right prime minister loves his granddaughter more than his grandson, which is really worthy of his reputation. On this occasion, I didn't see the shadow of a few grandchildren, but I only brought my only granddaughter alone.
Jiang Ningniang glanced over, and a few tongue-chewing people over there immediately quieted down.
Lin Qiantan didn't take the servant's broken mouth to heart, she didn't have a relationship with the Gu family, what she was waiting for wholeheartedly were her two enemies in her previous life.
Until the Zhongyi County Palace, Zheng Guogong Mansion, Guangning Bo Mansion and many other distinguished guests were sent to the door, and the maid was led to the banquet venue to take a seat, Lin Qiantan waited left and right, and finally after several batches of guests, she saw two very familiar figures in front of her, pacing one after the other, and walked over slowly.
The pupils contracted suddenly, the chest cavity was suddenly suffocated, and the hands that were folded in the lower abdomen in just the right posture were careless, and she poked her nails too hard and broke the skin directly, even though Lin Qiantan had made many psychological preparations, and when she really saw Yin Ren and Dong Yong again, she was still in turmoil, turning over the river and the sea, and couldn't control her emotions.
Yin and tenacity are respectful, and naturally take the lead. And Dong Yong was just a little doorman in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. It is already a great grace to be able to accompany him, and he naturally does not dare to steal the limelight of yin tenacity at all.
But Lin Qiantan knew about this livestock, and later rose to prominence. He offered his wife to seek wealth and wealth, flattered and flattered the tenacity, but after a few years, he was already in the position of the servant of the ministry. Even when he sat in a high position, the Great Shang Dynasty, which had only experienced two generations of emperors, was already in a moment of disintegration.
If it weren't for being so "young and promising", how could Lin Bixiang look down on him.
However, at this time, he was just a young man in ordinary cloth clothes for the time being. With a good face, he looks diligent, but he is actually just a hypocrite.
Over there, the hypocrite, as if he could sense that someone was watching him, cast his gaze too. Lin Qiantan just lowered her eyelashes, trying to suppress the turbulent emotions in her chest, but she didn't happen to see Dong Yong's slightly frivolous and stunning eyes the moment he saw her.
The Dong family is in a state of decay, but they barely survive on the little dowry of Dong Yong's mother Yin. Therefore, Dong Yong has known how to seize every opportunity to climb up since he was a child.
Although the family is difficult, fortunately, the surname Yin is on the top of the Yin family's head, so his family can be related to Yin Ren, the imperial concubine, Yin Qiang and others. is also because of the word "yin", his little aunt Yin Wei wants to attack her non-biological daughter, and will think of handing over such a good thing to him.
Front, Yin Ren is greeting Jiang Ningniang——
"I haven't seen Mrs. Chu for a long time, and Mrs. Chu is still in good spirits." Saying this, this is tenacity.
"The Prime Minister's praise is just relying on a few rouge gouaches to cover up the old." This is naturally Jiang Ningniang.
Dong Yong was dual-minded, listening to their greetings and some polite words, while peeking at Lin Qiantan again, only to see that Lin Qiantan had already raised his eyes, and he happened to look over.
Dong Yong has seen Lin Qiantan's portrait and is very satisfied with Lin Qiantan: she looks good, her figure is also convex and backward, although she is a little meager in terms of financial resources, she is afraid that there will not be much dowry in the future, but she also has a Chu family as a support, which is enough.
The task given to him by Yin Wei was to break Lin Qiantan's body and cook raw rice into mature rice. As long as it is done, not only will there be a great chance of marrying Mei Jiaoniang, but with the support of the Yin clan in the future, his and his mother's lives will be greatly improved.
He has already failed once in the Lin family's Zhuangzi, Yin Wei is already a little dissatisfied with the letter, this time the Chu family's birthday banquet is another great opportunity, the people of the Yin family have already made arrangements, he is only responsible for being happy.
Thinking of going crookedly, those eyes scanned Lin Qiantan's body from the top of his head to his toes, as if Lin Qiantan had been lying there naked and let him bully, Lin Qiantan seemed to have a sense, and her heart straightened up with a burst of nausea, and she wanted to vomit.
Although Lin Qiantan tried her best to suppress it, after all, they were two men who had a close relationship with her in her previous life, and no matter what, they couldn't hold it back when they looked at each other and leaked their emotions.
Dong Yong is still young and can't be seen. But Yin Ren is a veteran in the social field. As soon as he set his eyes on Lin Qiantan's body, he interpreted a hatred from Lin Qiantan's good-looking eyes.
"This is Miss Seven over here, right?" Just now, Jiang Ningniang had already given priority to introducing Chu Ling and Jiang Zhiyue, and now she talked about Lin Qiantan. Yin tenacity was silent, just as if he didn't see anything, he looked at his nominal niece with interest, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled charmingly.
As the name suggests, the feminine person not only looks feminine and has a fair complexion, but even his voice has a delicate and feminine voice, which is fine when he laughs, but looks very terrifying when he is not laughing. Lin Qiantan listened to this familiar voice, and still couldn't help but tremble with fear. But she still encouraged herself, bravely looked straight into her tough eyes, and smiled "shyly".
Jiang Ningniang's voice also sounded at the right time: "The Prime Minister has good eyesight, it is her."
Yin Ren watched Lin Qiantan spit out the word "very good" after Jiang Ningniang's voice fell, and after speaking, he walked past them and walked in with Dong Yong. After leaving behind, Jiang Ningniang and the others were inexplicable, and they didn't know what he meant by this comment.
Lin Qiantan pursed her lips even more, and her heart palpitated slightly.
