The lights are on 29
The carriage turned several corners all the way before stopping, and I always had a bad sense of direction, and I couldn't guess where, but when I lifted the curtain, I saw a magnificent mansion, with no superfluous furnishings in front of the main entrance, but there was a kind of self-evident majesty.
This is the Jade Mansion, I came many times when I was a child, and I never came back after my mother died.
"Be careful." Jade Jing helped me down, and led me in, surprised by the attendants who greeted me.
When the guests saw Yujing, they wanted to say a few polite words, but when they saw me on the side, they all stopped, and everyone's faces were surprised and confused, some of them were written on their faces, and some of them were hidden in their eyes.
Many people were whispering, as if they were curious about who I was, and the news quickly spread, and before entering the main hall, the people inside had already cast curious inquiring glances.
I quietly glanced at the person next to me, and when I raised my eyes slightly, I only saw his gentle and clear jawline, he was already like an adult, just standing beside me, and the panic in my heart settled down.
"Don't be afraid." He held my hand tightly, not to comfort me or to comfort himself.
I can probably guess what he wants to do, I can stop him, as long as I make a statement, he will never force me, but I don't want to do that.
He is the proud son of the Yu family, a figure standing at the top, carrying the expectations of his parents' family, and he will take over the responsibility of the head of the Yu family in the future, and continue to write a strong contribution to the prosperity of the past hundred years.
These are all in the eyes of the world, Yujing is just a teenager who grew up with me, just passing by my heart, it is rare to rejoice with each other, he is brave, and I will never back down.
In the main hall sat the old head of the Yu family and the old lady, the current head of the family and the relatives of the Yu family sat on both sides, those eyes pierced like arrows, Yu Jing faced the edge, and did not retreat half a step.
Madam Yu's face turned pale instantly, and she wanted to say something, but was quietly stopped by the head of the Jade family on the side.
In front of everyone, Yu Jing knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "My grandson is late." ”
Old Madam Yu had obviously been drawn to me and asked, "Jing'er, what is this ......?" ”
Yu Jing smiled: "Rong Xuan, my grandmother has seen Ah Xuan, who grew up with my childhood sweetheart." ”
The middle-aged man sitting on the right side spoke in the same unkind tone as her face, and sneered: "What little girl, the old lady's birthday, what are you bringing others to do?" ”
"She's not someone else." Yu Jing didn't pay attention to the person at all, but said to the old master of the Yu family and the old lady who were sitting on it: "Ah Xuan is a person who is admired by her grandson, and she is willing to spend her life together and hold each other until she is old." ”
The old master of the Yu family, who had not spoken, glanced at me, his eyes were unpredictable without any personal emotions, and after a long time, his gray beard moved: "I heard that the six girls of the Chengguo Mansion were born with extraordinary intelligence, and they were unfortunate when they were young, and they were unfortunate when they were young, so how can they withstand such a heavy burden?" ”
The middle-aged man echoed: "It's good to say some things casually, and the young master will recognize his identity." ”
Yu Jing smiled, obviously expecting someone to say this, and responded: "Rong Xuan is the concubine of the princess, and she is the only powerful person with a different surname who has been awarded the title of county lord, why not?" ”
"It's just her identity, our Yu clan has never admired the powerful, what ability can she convince us?" The middle-aged man continued to retort: "The future Mrs. Yu, can she be so unremarkable? ”
Without waiting for Yujing to speak, I took a step forward and said: "Although Xuan'er is young, she is not as knowledgeable as you, but she is also from a famous family, and she has experienced a lot under the teaching of her father and mother when she was a child, not to mention the banquet of the wealthy family, even if the royal palace banquet has also been there, she has been favored by the emperor, and given the title of the lord of Changle County, although it is not what the little girl wants, but it shows the royal appreciation, I don't know what your so-called table refers to, it is the little girl who can't get on." ”
I stood up straight, pretending to be awe-inspiring, but I was empty inside, and I didn't know what to do next. I only know that I can't blindly hide behind Yujing, it's nothing more than telling the truth, which makes Yujing's situation even more difficult.
What I can think about is very simple, as long as the momentum is enough, the person in front of me will naturally not say anything.
The crowd was obviously shocked by what I said, not because of how shocking what I said, but because of the rumored dementiac people who were able to talk about it in such a coherent manner.
The bottomless eyes of the old master of the jade family flashed a bright color, and there was still no expression on his face, and he said, "The guests are almost here, and it's time for the banquet." ”
It should be in order not to embarrass both sides, and the head of the Jade family, who is the most powerful speaker of the Yu family, neither agreed nor objected. This is the best result, after all, the news is too sudden for anyone.
The old master of the jade family left with everyone's attendants, and Yu Jing stood aside with me, seeing the people sitting on both sides leaving one by one, he had no intention of following.
Yujing was not surprised at all by what I had just said, obviously she had already figured out my hole cards, and I was the only one who was so engaged.
Old Madam Yu remembered something, waved me over, I glanced at him, and he smiled with relief.
"This child was born beautiful when he was young, but he hasn't seen him for a long time, and he is more and more afraid to recognize it." Old Madam Yu looked at me lovingly and said, "Jing'er rarely cares so much about girls, but I often hear him say your name, no wonder I can't let go for a while." ”
Mrs. Yu didn't expect Yu Jing to come to this trick, and the smile on her face couldn't hold back for a long time, and said: "Mother, the six girls in the Chengguo Mansion have never gone out much, and they are a little afraid of life when they think about it, you shouldn't have seen it much, right?" ”
It seemed to remind Old Madam Yu of something, but Old Madam Yu obviously didn't care: "I remember, when I was a child, she played with Jing'er under my knees. ”
Seeing that she couldn't start from the old lady's side, Madame Yu said to Yujing, "Go to your father's place, the guests are here." ”
"Yes." Jade Jing looked at me again.
Old Madam Yu smiled: "Just go, the guests you invited will be handed over to me." ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Jade Jing saluted, turned and walked out.
When Mrs. Yu pulled me to the banquet of the ladies, the eyes of Chen and the fifth sister, who were sitting at the head of the guests, widened, and the fifth sister's face was more annoyed, while the Chen family was more embarrassed.
"Why is Xuan'er here? They didn't tell me beforehand. "Chen was obviously confused as to why I was next to Old Madam Yu.
Old Madam Yu smiled and said, "You are the guests I invited, and she is the guest invited by Jing'er, so naturally they are not the same." ”
When Chen heard this, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so Mrs. Yu glanced at her, and she covered her handkerchief and coughed fakely, which was considered an answer.
"I thought that the five girls in the mansion were the most beautiful, but I didn't expect the six girls in the boudoir to be even more amazing!" I don't know whose lady speaks so unstandardly, and she stomps on it to incur resentment for me.
Old Madam Yu is worthy of being a person who has experienced a big scene, and this little splash was dismissed in a few words: "Each flower is in its own eyes, the fifth girl and the sixth girl have their own merits, I look good." ”
The man wanted to make a sycophant, but he didn't expect to be slapped on the horse's hooves, and the old lady Yu softly pulled back the knife that was stabbed on my body on the spot.
She consciously lost her words, smiled at the fifth sister, and said: "I don't mean anything else, but I don't see Miss Sixth very much, and I was happy for a while, and I lost my words." ”
The fifth sister will never let others not get off the stage, and said: "Where is it, Mrs. praises my little sister, and it is too late to be happy to be a sister." ”
Old Madam Yu asked me to sit next to her, I knew that I was not high, and I didn't dare to lose my etiquette, but she said: "You are the county lord with a title, if you don't come to sit in this position, how can others sit under you?" ”
At this point, I didn't dare to say anything, so I sat down obediently.
Even if there are delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of me, I don't feel anything in my mouth, although I didn't hear those words in front of the main hall today, it is inevitable that Mrs. Yu will not tell Chen, and the road in the future will not be so smooth.
Fortunately, I am no longer the little girl who is at the mercy of others and doesn't even have the ability to protect herself, for my two sisters who married into a wealthy family, and for me to grow into a slim girl, I have to be afraid of those unsightly things hidden in the shadows.
