Chapter 343: Psychological Burden
Liu Yuanming, the son of King Wu, was only ten years old and steady and wise. He paid more attention to Xu Lanyin's sister and brother, because their father was the old demon Xu Guard, and Xu Guard was quite valued by his father and maternal great-grandfather.
When Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanzhou came out of the side room, everyone present looked at them a little. They knew that the old demon Xu Qingyan was born in a peasant family, and they heard that when Xu Lao Demon was in the enemy country, this family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, but they didn't expect to be able to raise such a good talent.
The boy has a long and slender body, handsome features, and although he is a little nervous, he can also be called well-behaved. And this girl has picturesque eyebrows, apricot face and peach cheeks, and a calm temperament. is not inferior to any noble girl here, or even in the entire capital. The only drawback is that the makeup is light, a little less rich and noble, but it is more beautiful and refined, and the charm is different.
Xu Lanyin first came to the eldest princess of Nanyang and knelt down on the futon in front of the chai concubine, picked up the tea bowl in the girl's tray and toasted the eldest princess to the tea ceremony, "The younger generation Lanyin, on behalf of her mother Qin Yan, gave tea to the eldest princess, wishing her mother happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the immortal pine of Nanshan." ”
The sound is soft and clear, and the speed is appropriate.
The eldest princess of Nanyang squinted her eyes with a smile, took the tea bowl and took a sip, and said, "This palace has always wanted a girl, and now I have my wish." ”
After speaking, he gave Xu Lanyin (Qin's) a pair of superb jade bracelets.
Xu Lanyin took another tea bowl and toasted the chai horse tea ceremony, "The younger generation Lan Yin, on behalf of his mother Qin Yan, gave tea to the horse master, wishing my father a long life and a hundred years old, and the future is blessed, auspicious, rich and healthy." ”
Chai Juma took the tea bowl and took a sip, and said, "Let your mother often come to live in the capital in the future, and do her filial piety in front of us, Nanyang is a rare girl." ”
After speaking, he gave Xu Lanyin (Qin's) a sheep fat jade Buddha hand.
Then, Xu Lanyin saluted the Chai Commander and his wife on behalf of the Qin family.
Then, Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanzhou kowtowed to the eldest princess and the firewood horse, called "grandmother" and "grandfather", and received the meeting gift. He also greeted Chai Rong and his wife, shouting "uncle, aunt". then gave a salute to Chai Jun and his wife, and shouted "cousin, cousin......
After that, he was introduced to the relatives of the eldest princess in turn.
Princess Laoping and Liu Yuanfeng, King of Pingjun, Liu Zhaoqi, Prince of Yongjun, Princess of the County, Prince of the Kingdom and Princess of the World, two daughters Liu He and Liu Xi, the eldest princess of Beiyang, Wang Juma, Wang Yi, the second wife of Wang, Ji Shi, the third master Wang Jin, the eldest princess of Xiyang, Tang Juma, granddaughter Tang Xiangping, and Liu Yuanming, the son of King Wu.
There are so many people, and there are only two people that Xu Lanyin pays special attention to, one is Liu Zhaofeng, the king of Pingjun, and the other is Wang Yi.
Liu Zhaofeng is indeed fair and handsome, and has a noble temperament. His grandfather is the emperor's cousin, and according to the system, his father should be the prince of the county, and he should be the general of the Zhuguo State if he is demoted to one level. But because his grandfather died protecting the emperor when he rebelled against the king and forced the palace to rebel, the emperor made an exception and did not demote his father's knighthood, his father was the king of Ping, and he was the king of Pingjun. Because of this, the emperor treated him very differently, even better than some of his own children.
The nineteen-year-old prince of the county, with outstanding appearance, no bad habits, and quite the emperor's favor, is the best husband in the eyes of many girls. It's just that he is very picky, and he hasn't found the girl he likes so far. There were several families who took the initiative to find someone to agree, but he refused, so no one dared to take the initiative to propose marriage.
Compared with him, Heroine Su could only choose Gu Wangchen in the end, and she was indeed retreating to the next best, her heart and liver must be hurting.
Wang Yi is about forty, tall and strong, slightly dark, and has tough facial features. At first glance, he is a martial artist with a lot of strength, not like a person from the clan. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he looked at Xu Lanyin, and he was lost in an instant. Xu Lanyin snorted secretly.
What Xu Lanyin didn't expect was that the eldest princess of Beiyang was very kind to her, and the big phoenix hairpin with the inlaid treasure bead was the size of a palm, and even the eldest princess of Nanyang was stunned.
Xu Lanyin didn't know whether to accept it or not, so she glanced sideways at the eldest princess of Nanyang. Seeing that the eldest princess nodded slightly, she accepted it.
After a circle, Xu Lanyin's sister and brother received the meeting gift into a colorful small gold mountain in the tray held by the chess. Xu Lan didn't feel rich, these people's gifts were not easy to get, they were looking at the face of the eldest princess of Nanyang, and they had to pay more sincerity.
Even Xu Lanzhou, a fan of small wealth, saw so many treasures, his eyes darkened, and he had a psychological burden.
Xu Lanyin was still satisfied with his performance. Although this kid loves money, he still knows it in the face of right and wrong, and knows that some money is not easy to take. Maybe it was Xu Qingyan's education and his usual beating that played a role, he was different from the old man Xu who was extremely fond of vanity and money.
After that, I met the relatives of the Chai family. The three-room family, the family of the fifth lord of the clan who has a good relationship with the eldest princess's mansion.
Xu Lanyin also saw that among the clan relatives, except for Wang Yi and Wang Jin, who were amazed at her for a moment, the others were more distant even if they were smiling.
And among the relatives of the Chai family, they are basically envious, and there are also jealous and hateful. They always knew that the eldest princess of Nanyang felt empty under her knees and wanted to recognize a girl or granddaughter, but they didn't expect to recognize her own family but an irrelevant one.
After seeing the ceremony, Chai Juma led the men to the front yard, the eldest princess of Nanyang and several noble old ladies continued to laugh here, and the young people and relatives of the Chai family went to the wing room or outside to play.
Xu Lanyin was dragged by Chai Jingjing to go on a boat with several noble girls Liu He, Liu Xi, and Tang Xiangping, and Chai Jingjing, the third girl in the third room of the Chai family, also stuck up.
Among these noble girls, Liu He and Liu Xi were quite friendly to Xu Lanyin on the surface, only Tang Xiangping's nostrils were facing the sky, and she looked down on her.
Xu Lanyin felt that although Chai Jingjing, Liu He, and Liu Xi were more arrogant and flamboyant, they still had at least politeness. And Tang Xiangping is completely spoiled Xiao Nizi, she has to be strong in pinching the tip, and she is not merciless in bullying Chai Jingjing. also choked Xu Lanyin a few words, but before Xu Lanyin could fight back, he was choked back by Chai Jingjing first.
Tang Xiangping and Chai Jingjing are both relatives of Chai Jingjing, one is a niece and granddaughter on her grandmother's side, and the other is a niece and granddaughter on her grandfather's side. Chai Jingjing is not good at helping, only Tang Xiangping will help Chai Jingjing say a few words to her if she is too much.
Xu Lanyin didn't understand Chai Jingjing very much, and if she wanted to mix in the circle of nobles to play, she didn't need to be so groveling. The tears are all squeezed out, and they have to follow. What disgusted her even more was that Chai Jingjing tried her best to please those nobles, including Tang Xiangping, but she was extremely unconvinced by Xu Lanyin, as if Xu Lanyin, who was inferior to her, had robbed her of her identity.
This is the typical poor person who must have something to hate.
After eating and watching the play, those people left.
Xu Lanyin also knew why Chai Jingjing asked her to pay attention to Wang Jin.
