Chapter 35: The Qian Family Banquet
After listening to Mrs. Shen's explanation, Wei Shu and the others probably knew what was going on with the Qian family.
It turned out that this old lady Qian had three sons, and the eldest son was admitted to the champion in his early years, married the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and now he is also an official worshipper.
Mrs. Qian also has a daughter, who was also a well-known beauty in Qingcheng back then, and was sent to the palace by her eldest brother at the age of fifteen to become a talented person.
Now she is already a noble concubine, and in the words of the Qian family, this Qian noble concubine is very favored.
(Author: I'm bah, have you ever seen a male protagonist with the surname Ram?) Which heroine would have the last name Niu? Which favored concubine would have the surname Qian? οΌ
As for why Mrs. Qian didn't move to Kyoto with her eldest son?
In the old lady's own words, it is one side of the water and soil to support one side, and Kyoto does not support people.
But according to reliable sources, the old lady also went to Kyoto to stay at her eldest son's house for a while, but she didn't get along with her eldest daughter-in-law.
It turned out to be a matchmaker, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Kyoto was to pull the matchmaker for various officials.
Later, he accidentally matched a few pairs of resentful couples, which provoked revenge, so he had no choice but to return to Qingcheng.
After listening to Mrs. Shen's explanation, Wei Shu and Wei Jin couldn't help but smile, I am afraid that this banquet will be lively today.
"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Shen?"
Not far away, a charming woman walked over with a small fan in her hand, her black sideburns were pulled up high, and a peony flower was pinned to the left side.
Mrs. Shen pinched her handkerchief and covered her nose, and said with a polite and distant smile, "Isn't this Mrs. Han, I didn't expect Mrs. Qian to invite you." β
This is said by everyone, and everyone can hear the diswelcome in his tone, Wei Shu suddenly felt that his heart was balanced, it turned out that this mother was not only like this to her, but to everyone.
Are you really spoiled by the guards?
In fact, it's no wonder that Mrs. Shen is like this, that Mrs. Han was originally a fireworks woman, and later became Master Han's concubine.
A few years later, Master Han's main room fell ill and died, so she was corrected.
It is impossible for a serious person to straighten out a concubine, and only a family like the Han family who suddenly became rich overnight would do this.
It is because Qingcheng's slightly headed-up and faceless people are ashamed of the new Mrs. Han, and they still regard her as an indiscreet woman in their hearts, so Mrs. Shen dislikes her so without concealing it.
Mrs. Han was not annoyed when she saw Shen Liangyan's attitude, and still greeted her with a smile, "Look at what Sister Shen said, is it not written on this old lady's post, invite all the ladies of Qingcheng to participate, anyway, her garden is also pretended!" β
As he spoke, he let out a string of laughter like silver bells, causing the others to look this way too.
At this time, everyone noticed Mrs. Shen here, and there were two beautiful girls behind her.
Speaking of the Wei family, everyone knows that the daughter of the Wei family was the fiancΓ©e of the first beautiful man in Qingcheng and the young master of the Hua family, but she was divorced by the Hua family because of the previous death and resurrection incident.
Hua Wuse can be said to be the dream lover of countless girls in Qingcheng, and they were also jealous of Wei Shu's good life, and they were able to climb high to the Hua family.
And now that Wei Shu has been divorced, if they don't come to joke a few words, it will be too sorry for their infatuation with flowers for many years.
For a while, Wei Shu and the others were surrounded by a group of women, both old and young, and their eyes were the same as the first time she went to the zoo to see monkeys when she was a child...
"Hello Mrs. Zhang, hello Mrs. Chen..."
Mrs. Shen followed the greetings of some noble ladies one by one, ignoring the banter on their faces from the subjective consciousness.
One of the noble ladies stared at Wei Shu and Wei Jin and snorted, "These are Mrs. Shen's two daughters, if they are really born with a national color and natural fragrance, I just don't know which one is Miss Yan?" β
"Hehe, this is the eldest girl in my family, and this is the second girl."
Mrs. Shen smiled and pointed at Wei Shu and then at Wei Jin.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang spoke again, "I heard that your daughter-in-law was divorced by the Hua family, so didn't you take this opportunity to bring the girls to take a look today?" β
It is not a glorious thing for the daughter's family to be divorced, and this Mrs. Zhang dared to make it clear so bluntly that she was afraid that she knew the current situation of the Wei family, so she dared to be so presumptuous.
So Mrs. Shen's face immediately became a little unsightly, but she could only be annoyed in her heart, but her face was as restrained as possible, and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Zhang to pay attention to her words!" β
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang covered her nose and smiled disdainfully, which fell in Mrs. Shen's eyes like a sharp thorn in her heart.
If it weren't for the Wei family's business problems, how could these people dare to despise themselves so much...
Wei Shu indifferently took the words and deeds of these people into his eyes, and then remained silent, to Mrs. Shen, who would make things difficult for her family, Wei Shu didn't plan to help her speak.
If it weren't for Mrs. Shen deliberately trying to make a fool of her today, how could these people have the opportunity to humiliate her, to put it bluntly, she deserves it!
And Mrs. Han, who had been coldly treated by Mrs. Shen before, saw her like this, and the smile on her face became more and more overflowing.
At this time, a slightly older woman stood up and said, "All right, the banquet will begin later, let's go in first." β
It was not very good to see such a group of people gathered outside the door of the Qian Mansion, and the woman who spoke thought that she also had some prestige in the crowd, and as soon as she spoke, everyone dispersed and entered the gate of the Qian Mansion in turn.
I have to say that the Qian Mansion looks magnificent from the outside, and when you walk inside, it is even more luxurious.
Pavilions and pavilions, red walls and green tiles are scattered in turn, complementing each other, and the entrance is a venue that is at least twice as empty as the front yard of the Wei family, and then led by the people to the banquet venue - the back garden of the Qian Mansion.
There are a lot of guests coming to Qianfu today, both men and women, young and old, if you change time and space, it is really a bit like a park blind date scene in the 21st century.
Wei Shu roughly counted that there were forty-two tables in this garden, and each table had eight seats.
"It's really too much, now that our Wei family is going to be lonely, they actually arrange this kind of inferior seat for us!"
As soon as Mrs. Shen sat down in her seat, she began to complain, fortunately, there was no one sitting at the table at this time, otherwise it would be a battle of words.
"Madam, just dissipate your anger, the left and right are all here for the two young ladies." The eldest girl Yunying comforted on the side.
Hearing this, Wei Shu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth faintly, she didn't think that Mrs. Shen came for herself or Wei Jinhao.
On the contrary, she brought them here to humiliate them, but it was self-defeating and she was run on by others first...
"Yo, this is the lady of the Wei Mansion, right?"
A woman in red, supported by the maid, walked up to their table and sat down, although the woman was also brightly dressed, but it was not at all comparable to the ladies outside the door before.
It can be seen that the industry in his family is also incomparable, and the Wei family was not a big family before the business went wrong, but it was far ahead of these small portals.
But now, the Qian family can't wait to humiliate the Wei family in this way, arranging them and these last-class families at the same table.
