Chapter 36: Pei Guogong's Mansion Flower Viewing Banquet
The 'old man of wine' left quietly, if it weren't for Zhou Chengxiang's letter before leaving, Gu Jinshu would probably not know.
It's just that Zhou Chengxiang, who has already traveled far away with the 'old man of wine', will not believe it even if he is killed, and his letter full of juvenile love has been burned by Gu Jinshu not long after it was sent.
Summer flowers are gorgeous and flower-appreciating season, this time Gu Jinshu has arrived in the capital for many days, and the old lady is worried that she will be sick in the mansion, so she asked Feng to take her to the flower-viewing banquet of Pei Guogong's mansion.
The Pei family is the mother family of the queen of the family, and they all have a prestigious name in the company, so there are not a few powerful people who come and go.
If Gu Jinshu was a member of the side family, he would push Tang on the grounds that he was unwell, but this Pei family couldn't treat him like this. It can be said that in addition to the old lady's illness, her entry into Beijing this time is not unrelated to the Pei family, and now that she finally has the opportunity to get in touch, she naturally can't take it lightly.
"When I go to Pei Guogong's Mansion this time, don't have a quarrel with someone."
The old lady stared at Ye Qingdai and said, the Ye family is indeed a high-ranking family in the capital, and the powerful family is much worse than the Pei family after all.
The reason why she told Ye Qingdai was also because of the last time Ye Qingdai had an unpleasant thing with the girl of the Yushitai family, although it was a child's quarrel that should not be true, but the most taboo thing in this officialdom is to offend people.
"Got it."
Ye Qingdai bit her lip and hummed softly, if it weren't for the daughter of the Yushitai family who was inferior in front of her and angrily scolded her as a concubine, she would not have negotiated without the idiot of the contract.
Gu Jinshu didn't know what was going on, but looking at Ye Qingdai's expression, she couldn't say much, she just thought about what happened after she went to Pei Guogong's mansion.
"Your cousin is here for the first time, so you take care of everything."
"Hmm."
Ye Qingdai readily agreed, and just when the group was about to go out, Feng Fanyi suddenly appeared at the door of the weeping flowers, and came slowly with curling steps.
Dressed up, people look slightly sideways.
"Auntie, where are you going?"
These obviously deliberate words made Ye Qingdai sneer lightly, but fortunately, her voice was small, and only Gu Jinshu beside her heard it in her ears.
Why can't Feng see his nephew's thoughts? The reason why she didn't take her was because the invitation was from the Ye family, and if she rashly brought her there, she couldn't tell what the old lady thought of her.
Moreover, Pei Guogong's mansion is famous, and she is also worried that her niece will be wronged with her.
"Pei Guogong's Mansion handed over a post for flower appreciation."
"I heard that the begonias in Pei Guogong's Mansion are very gorgeous, but it's a pity that my nephew didn't have the honor to take a look."
She sighed again and again, and a few wisps of melancholy flashed on her delicate face, which made people feel a sense of pity when they looked at it.
"In that case, let's go together!"
After Feng Shi said this, he went straight out of the mansion, while Ye Qingdai sneered at Feng Fanyi and wrapped Gu Jinshu's arm into a carriage.
Feng Fanyi looked at everyone's expressions, bit the corner of his lip, stomped on the ground twice, and then got into Feng's carriage.
"Auntie...... Qing Dai doesn't like me...... I didn't provoke her either......"
She wanted to speak and stopped, and her appearance of crying made Feng have a little headache, and the discord between her concubine and niece was not a matter of one or two days. She thought that as she grew older, the temperament of the two children would change, and they would not be pinched when they met.
But the wish is always good.
"Fanyi, if the Feng family wants to gain a foothold in the capital, they must rely on the Ye family, you have to be obedient."
She touched Feng Fanyi's forehead and said a little heartbroken, the reason why she has been so dignified in her mother-in-law's family all these years is not because of how powerful her mother's family is, but because she has won the favor of the old lady.
But this time, because of the complicated matter, the old lady obviously had a sense of resistance to her - the good impression she had accumulated over the decades was actually completely defeated because of such a trivial matter, I have to say that it is really a great irony.
"Auntie, you are the lady of the house, you ......"
"But my aunt doesn't have a strong maiden family, and she doesn't have a family background that makes the Ye family jealous."
Not only that, the Feng family also has to rely on the Ye family to live, if her attitude is too radical, with Ye Yuqin's filial piety, she will definitely stand on the side of the old lady, and she will be defeated at that time.
Ye Yuqin has only had one wife and one concubine over the years, not because of how affectionate he is, nor because of how harmonious the relationship between husband and wife is, but because the Ye family owes her the love of running thousands of miles for Ye Wanyu.
"Fanyi, marriage is about the right family, otherwise you will be cautious about everything like your aunt."
"But isn't my aunt very nice?"
Feng Fanyi doesn't understand Feng's words very well, in her opinion, her aunt is good at this accompaniment, whether it is food and clothing, if the person she married at the beginning is the right person with the Feng family, can she have today?
"Is it good?" She whispered and closed her eyes slightly, and it took a long time to open them, "It's time for you to ask your mother to find a family for you." ”
"Auntie......"
Feng Fanyi was surprised, when her mother let her come to the Ye family to live for a long time, she had already revealed her intention, but now there is no chance at all?
"In the future, I will take you to similar banquets, and it depends on your own creation whether it is evil or fate."
The mother-in-law may have said a lot, Fanyi is indeed not suitable for her son, since this is the case, let her follow!
Feng Fanyi was stunned, but a little joy flashed in her heart, she thought that her appearance was good, and she didn't feel moved by the cousin who only knew what she knew. If it weren't for the fact that there was no road to the hairpin, why would she hang on the crooked neck tree of the Ye family?
Pei Guogong's Mansion is today's dignitary, and the guests of the flower viewing party are endless, Gu Jinshu and their group are not late to set off, but when they come, most of the guests have arrived.
While Feng was talking to the noble ladies, Ye Qingdai pulled Gu Jinshu to swing around the circle of noble girls and introduced her to her handkerchief.
"Why does this jade-like sister look a little angry?"
The voice sounded extremely gentle, and even had a feeling of bookish fragrance, which made people hate it.
"Sister Xinyu."
Ye Qingdai seemed to like the woman who spoke, her eyebrows narrowed when she called people, and her look of genuine love couldn't be faked.
"Jin Shu, this is the Zhen family's sister Xinyu."
"Sister Xinyu."
Fortunately, Gu Jinshu has quickly integrated into the role of her young girl, otherwise she would not be able to call out this brittle sister.
But the surname Zhen? She still remembers that in the previous life, her cousin's original wife was surnamed Zhen, but she couldn't remember her name.
