Chapter Eighty-Three: The Show Begins
The next day, several young ladies from Ninghou Mansion were invited to the Duke of Qi Mansion as guests.
Early in the morning, Mama Kong, who was waiting in the inner courtyard, was waiting outside, watching the carriage of Ninghou Mansion stop, and stepped forward enthusiastically and said: "Ladies and ladies have finally arrived, our old lady has long been looking forward to it!" A few young ladies hurry up and come with the slaves! ”
Mama Kong has a good impression of Chu Yue'an, and thinks that she is not as rumored, not to mention that she also has a life-saving grace for the old lady, so she is very enthusiastic about her, holding her hand and smiling: "Since the last time, the old lady has missed the second lady very much, and has been saying that she wants to take the second lady to live in the house for a few days!" ”
"This matter is mine or not, I have been saying that I want to come to see the old lady, but I have not found the time, I must come to visit the old lady often in the future." Chu Yue'an said with a smile, "Mama Kong's spirit is better than the last time. In addition to bringing some good medicine to the old lady this time, I also brought some to Mama Kong, which is very beneficial to nourishing the body. ”
"The second lady has been thinking about the old slave, and the old slave is so moved." Mama Kong held Chu Yue'an's hand affectionately, "Say hello to all the young ladies, don't stand still, the old lady is waiting for you!" Come with the old slave. ”
Chu Yuezi had a cultivated smile on the corner of her mouth, but in her heart, she scolded Mama Kong fiercely and blamed her for being snunt.
A dead slave who has no eyesight, I don't know who is the master you should be the one who should be the one in the future, and there will be times when you regret it in the future.
She glanced at Chu Yue on the side, and Chu Yue nodded understandingly.
Chu Yueyun pinched Chu Yuexi's arm and asked with a smile: "The third sister and the fifth sister are eyebrows, when did you have such a good relationship?" ”
"They are all sisters, and it is right to take care of each other, how did it get to your mouth, fourth sister, what is this strange thing?" Chu Yuezi sneered, "Fourth sister, your relationship with everyone is not good, don't think that everyone's relationship is not good, you should be open-minded." ”
"The lesson of the third sister is that I didn't expect the third sister to care so much about our sisters, but there have been some rumors about the Ninghou Mansion of Zaimen recently, I don't know if you have heard of the third sister?" Chu Yueyun asked.
"Oh, I haven't heard any gossip." Chu Yuezi said lightly, "The so-called upright sitting end, if you don't do anything morally or badly, the fourth sister doesn't have to care too much about those so-called gossips." ”
"The third sister said it very well, but there is also a saying that three people become tigers and all mouths are golden, and it is natural to be self-cultivation, but you can't ignore someone's rumors and frame-ups." Chu Yueyun smiled, "People are watching the sky, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and the justice in this world will always give an explanation." ”
Chu Yuezi glanced at Chu Yueyun lightly: "Then you just wait." ”
The group entered the Guogong Mansion, and followed Mama Kong through two small doors before coming to Taishou Courtyard, where Mrs. Qi lived. Mama Kong said to the little maid guarding the door that the ladies of the Ninghou Mansion were here, and the maid was clever and hurriedly went inside to report.
"Please." Mama Kong invited the four young ladies in, and before she had taken a few steps, she looked at the Duchess and greeted her, "Distinguished guests! I wanted to invite you to come and sit earlier, and a few girls were beautiful, but they taught us that the scenery in this courtyard has lost its color. It's hot outside, so come in and sit. ”
Chu Yue'an and the others entered, and after greeting Mrs. Qi and the Duchess of the Kingdom, they took their seats in turn, and the maid brought the chilled lotus seed soup that had been prepared long ago to relieve the heat.
"Well, this lotus seed soup is exceptionally sweet." Chu Yue'an tasted it and couldn't help but praise, "Osmanthus powder is added to this?" It not only suppresses the bitterness of lotus seeds, but also has a more fragrant fragrance, which is smoother and more delicious than syrup. ”
"It's still your tongue spirit, this is the addition of osmanthus powder, I always like to eat osmanthus cake, so they like it, and they also add osmanthus powder to it, but it has a unique flavor." Old Madam Qi said happily, "I didn't expect you to love to eat this osmanthus flavored thing, so we said that our ancestors and grandchildren fell in love." ”
Chu Yuezi ate slowly, but she didn't think that there was anything special about this lotus seed soup, and it was worthy of their praise.
The Duchess has a good impression of Chu Yuezi, she is beautiful, dignified and gentle, knowledgeable, and famous, and a good match, but after her cousin went to the Hou Mansion last time, she belittled the third lady, praised the second lady, and made her mother-in-law think about the second miss.
If this second young lady is a vicious and sinister person, then everything that my cousin saw that day was a misunderstanding, this third young lady may not be so unbearable, right?
"A few days ago, I went to Yuwang's Mansion as a guest, and Concubine Yu gave us a new poem made by the third lady, the writing is gorgeous, graceful and moving, it is really likeable." The Duchess smiled lightly, "Concubine Yu also asked someone to compose that song into a tune, which is very popular in the capital right now, and how many people want to meet this talented woman." ”
Chu Yuezi smiled shyly: "Madame praised it falsely, but it was just a few nonsense, and I really can't afford such praise." ”
Duchess Guo glanced at Chu Yue'an again and asked, "I don't know what the second lady reads on weekdays?" ”
Chu Yue'an said generously: "I have been stupid since I was a child, I don't understand Fengyue, I am insulated from those poems and songs, I have never read any sage books, but I only know a few words, and I use them all to read medical books." ”
Mrs. Qi said with a smile: "People have their own ambitions, they have specializations, they can learn medical skills, and they are also excellent to save the world by hanging pots, and they don't need to understand those poems." ”
As he was talking, a servant's mansion reported: "Old lady, madam, Mrs. Yan is here." ”
"She's here too! Come on in. "The Duchess was a little surprised, she didn't invite her over, isn't this the old lady's attention?
A panicked look appeared on Chu Yuezi's face, that day, her own unbearability and Chu Yue'an's pride all fell into Mrs. Yan's eyes, and the Qi State Mansion also invited her, didn't she want to slap her face? What kind of heart do they have?
After eating the lotus seed soup, the maids took away the bowl and served melons and fruits and refreshments.
Chu Yuexi couldn't sit still, took the first step to take the tea in the hand of a maid, respectfully sent it to Chu Yue'an, and said timidly: "Second sister, please drink tea." ”
Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed, and he smiled lightly: "Thank you." Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the cup of tea, Chu Yuexi suddenly let go, and the cup of tea spilled to the ground at once.
Chu Yue felt as if she had fallen into a catastrophe, and suddenly knelt on the ground, slapped herself two loud times, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry Second Sister, I didn't mean to." ”
