Chapter 38: The Birthday Banquet

When Qingping heard this, she shook her head helplessly, and tapped the tip of Qinghe's nose, "You, you can be clever next time." ”

Qinghe stuck out his tongue and whispered, "I know, I know." ”

Because of Qinghe's young age, coupled with such playful movements, he looked very cute, which made Jiang Yu and the others laugh out loud.

After some playing, the smile on Jiang Yu's face gradually faded, and she looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard and fell into deep thought.

In fact, she sensed that something was wrong, just because she remembered that she had experienced such a thing in her previous life.

At the beginning, Jiang Yu was not wary of Wang Rubi at all, and she also liked the skirt she sent, but she didn't expect that it was precisely because of her trust in Wang Rubi that she pushed herself into the fire pit step by step.

At that time, she wore that dress to attend Mrs. Nan'anhou's birthday banquet, but unexpectedly, on the birthday banquet, her belt suddenly broke, and Jiang Yu appeared in front of everyone in disheveled clothes.

Suddenly, she became the target of public criticism, with tears of humiliation, watching others pointing at her, even her own father felt shameless.

After that time, her reputation plummeted, and she became a joke among the people in Beijing after dinner.

So Jiang Yu remembered it clearly, and she also knew what Wang Rubi's idea was.

Just then, a voice pulled back her thoughts.

"Sister, what are you doing? There is such a good leisure. ”

Jiang Wan's voice came to her ears.

Jiang Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after the lime people knew Wang Rubi's vicious thoughts, they became more and more responsive to the mother and daughter.

Jiang Yu turned her head and asked with a smile, "What does my sister mean by this?" Why don't I have the leisure to look at the flowers in my garden? ”

When Jiang Wan heard this, her face froze, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm not joking with my sister, sister, don't take it to heart." ”

Jiang Yu sneered in her heart, but her face was bland, "Why is my sister here?" ”

"Listen to my sister, does that mean I'm not welcome?" Jiang Wan asked with a pretended look of grievance.

Qing He muttered in a low voice, "Huan is not welcome to you, don't you have any points in your heart?" ”

When Qingping heard Qing He's unabashed words, she was so frightened that she immediately looked at Jiang Wan and Jiang Yu, and saw that their faces were as usual, so she was relieved.

looked at Qing He with reproachful eyes, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Qinghe was a little unconvinced, "It was originally so!" ”

Qingping glared at her angrily, and Qinghe stopped talking.

"Sister, where are you talking? Did you do anything that made me unwelcome? Jiang Yu said indifferently.

Jiang Wan muttered to herself in her heart, "Why is this woman getting more and more difficult to deal with?" ”

"Is my sister still angry about what happened that day? There was something wrong with my aunt's speech that day, and I hope that my sister will have a lot, so let's not worry about the past, after all, the family is harmonious, this is my father's wish. Jiang Wan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yu's hand, looked at her with teary eyes, and thought that Jiang Yu had bullied her.

Jiang Yu avoided it without a trace, looked at her meaningfully, and said with a light smile: "My sister is reasonable, and my sister also hopes that the family house can be harmonious, less flowery, and intrigued, are you right or not?" ”

The more Jiang Wan listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, but she couldn't show it, so she could only smile and say, "What my sister taught me!" ”

Jiang Wan didn't come here to listen to Jiang Yu's preaching, so she had to divert the topic and said, "Sister, my sister came this time because she wanted to discuss something with her sister." ”

Jiang Yu knew why she came, but she pretended not to know, and said, "Sister, it's okay to say it." ”

When Jiang Wan heard this, she was overjoyed, and said a little embarrassed: "Sister, won't it be Mrs. Nan'anhou's birthday in a few days?" My sister made a new dress, but I couldn't find the right jewelry, my sister also knew that my sister's identity was not as good as my sister, and jewelry or something was even more scarce. ”

Jiang Yu glanced at her, only to find that Jiang Wan, who always dresses herself up in a fancy way on weekdays, now wears a hairpin on her head, and all the jewelry on her body has been removed, and only some simple jewelry has been replaced.

She couldn't help sneering in her heart, Jiang Wan did a really good job in this play.

"That's right, you can't let outsiders think that our palace treats concubines harshly." Jiang Yu smiled, with a bit of coldness in her eyes, and the word concubine was slightly aggravated.

Although it was not very obvious, to Jiang Wan's ears, it felt very harsh, and her hand was slowly clenched in the wide sleeve, and her expression was stiff.

Seeing that Jiang Wan's face was red and white, Qing He on the side couldn't help but hide his mouth and snicker.

Jiang Yu glanced at her lightly, and when Qing He saw this, his heart jumped, and he immediately straightened his face and stood straight.

Jiang Yu bent the corners of her lips, turned her head to Jiang Wan and said, "Oh, I'm really embarrassed, sister, my sister is so open-mouthed, you must not take it to heart." ”

"My sister is straightforward, and my sister understands." Jiang Wan only felt extremely humiliated at this time, if it wasn't for her dead mother's dowry, why would she come here to suffer her cynicism?

"That's good, I don't know, what does my sister want?" Jiang Yu asked.

Jiang Wan vented a little resentment at this time, and said to Jiang Yu: "My sister picks it, and my sister believes in my sister's vision." ”

She told Jiang Yu about the style of her clothes, Jiang Yu thought about it, nodded and said: "I know, my mother has a set of Hetian jade jewelry, which is inlaid with some pearls, luxurious and unassuming, and the set of clothes I told my sister is very commensurate." ”

Hearing her say this, Jiang Wan seemed very excited and thanked her again and again.

She waved her hand, with a regretful look on her face, and said, "Sister, my mother has too many things, I don't even know where to put them, go back and look for them, and then let someone send them to you, what do you think?" ”

Although Jiang Wan felt a little regretful and couldn't take it away directly, there was no way, after all, the things belonged to someone else, and she couldn't say anything more.

He could only salute her and said, "Then there is Sister Lao, and that sister will go back first and wait for news from my sister." ”

After sending Jiang Wan away, Jiang Yu whispered a few words to Lime, and Lime nodded solemnly, and then walked out of Lanyue Pavilion.

When Qinghe and Qingping saw this, they knew that Jiang Yu had a plan in their hearts, so they didn't ask more.

On the birthday of Mrs. Nan'an Hou, Jiang Wan put on the Hetian jade pearl jewelry that Jiang Yu selected for her and got into the carriage of the palace.

Because of the difference between the concubines, Jiang Wan can't sit in the same carriage with Jiang Yu, and she doesn't know how Jiang Yu will dress up today.

But no matter what, she is confident in her outfit today, even if she can't compare to Jiang Yu, she will definitely be able to attract a lot of attention.

Wang Rubi had never seen Jiang Wan's jewelry, and asked suspiciously: "Wan'er, why have you never seen you wear this jewelry?" ”

"Mother, isn't this jewelry beautiful?" Jiang Wan shook it in front of Wang Rubi as if showing off.

Wang Rubi nodded, with a little appreciation in her eyes, "The vision is good, it matches the clothes on your body very well." ”

"Right? Jiang Yu said the same thing. Jiang Wan smiled proudly.

"Jiang Yu? What does this have to do with Jiang Yu? Wang Rubi looked at her strangely.

"I borrowed it from Jiang Yu, and she picked it for me." Jiang Wan said triumphantly.

"What? She picked it for you? Wang Rubi's face immediately became nervous, "No, no, take off these jewelry." ”

As she spoke, she was about to move to get the jewelry Jiang Wan was wearing, Jiang Wan stretched out her hand to block it, and looked at Wang Rubi incomprehensibly, "Mother, what are you doing here?" If I take this thing, what will you let me wear? What's more, it's too late to change it now! ”

woke up the person in the dream with a word, and Wang Rubi realized that what Jiang Wan said was not wrong, and it was too late to change it now.

Jiang Wan knew what Wang Rubi was worried about, she patted the back of Wang Rubi's hand and said comfortingly: "Mother, don't worry, I have carefully checked this jewelry, there will be no problems." ”

Hearing this, Wang Rubi confirmed it again and again with Jiang Wan, and then she relaxed a little.

Since Jiang Wan entered the Nan'an Hou Mansion, she has received countless attention along the way, and everyone has discussed in a low voice, "Whose daughter is this?" How did you look so good? ”

"Does that need to be said? Look at her following behind the Marquis of Pingyuan, isn't this obviously the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyuan? ”

"It is worthy of being the daughter of the Hou Ye, it is really a national beauty."

"Hey, you don't know, do you? This is not the lady of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, but the concubine of the Hou Mansion. ”

"Huh? ……”

“……”

Hearing others comment on her good-looking life, Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel complacent, but when she heard someone say that she was just a concubine, her slender fingers clenched into a fist under the wide sleeves, biting her lower lip lightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

If Jiang Yu doesn't die, she will always be just a concubine, no matter how dazzling she is, she is just a concubine in the mouth of others.

"Look, who's at the back? It's pretty too, but it's still a little worse than the previous one! The attention of the crowd was on Jiang Wan's back.

Jiang Wan also turned her head to look over, and found that it was Jiang Yan who got out of the car behind her.

Although Jiang Yan was carefully dressed, it was still much worse than Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan smiled coldly at her, with a little disdain in her eyes, and turned back arrogantly, no longer paying attention to Jiang Yan behind her.

Jiang Yan naturally saw Jiang Wan's reaction, and her heart was itching with hatred, her beauty couldn't be compared, so she could only say a few sour words, she snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice, "Who is dressed up so fancy?" ”

When she arrived at the banquet hall, Jiang Wan's beauty attracted a lot of attention, and the other famous daughters present were all set off without color.

Jiang Congwen saw that everyone's eyes were on Jiang Wan's body, and his eyes were full of admiration, and he was in a good mood, and felt that Jiang Wan had given him a long face.
