Chapter 82: Under the Palace Banquet
The ladies were instantly excited, and said to each other, "She is the boss of Xianglu?" ”
"Then let's go and say hello to her, is there a chance that we can get the fragrance?"
"My aunt bought a bottle, it seems to be called Colorful! Even my cousin couldn't touch it, and my aunt couldn't use it herself. ”
They chatted together, almost stunned Yun Rouya next to her, what happened to these noble girls, how could they tolerate such a lowly woman sitting at the same table with them, and still sitting on the upper seat.
Finally, a noble girl decided to take the lead and go to greet Xu Jiao.
"This girl, are you the master of Shiwei Residence?" A girl in a green dress who looked very atmospheric took the initiative to take the lead and greeted Xu Jiao.
Her father is the left squire of the military department, and she also has a bit of a heroic shadow, and she is very generous with her gestures.
Xu Jiao is chatting with Princess Meiruo about the affairs of Yuehua Kingdom, she has lived in this palace since she was a child, and she especially wants to know what the outside world is like.
The daughter of the left attendant of the military department came forward to say hello, and she was still a little stunned, because in their Yuehua country, the nobles also looked down on merchant girls and folk girls.
"Yes, my surname is Xu, are you?" Xu Jiao responded to her, curious about what this person was looking for her.
Seeing that Xu Jiao didn't ignore people, she introduced herself generously: "My father's left waiter from the military department, my name is Zhao Yu, I heard that you are the master of Shiweiju, so I came to say hello." ”
Zhao Yu did not hide the reason why he came to say hello, and continued: "The fragrance you made is so famous, I have smelled it a few times at my mother's place, and my mother is reluctant to give it to me. I would like to ask, when will there be another one next time? I'll definitely send someone to grab it early. ”
Xu Jiao didn't expect that Xianglu's charm was so great, so that these noble ladies could take the initiative to put down their bodies and show favor to her.
Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to be chatting with Xu Jiao, the nobles who were watching from the side couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to surround them.
"Miss Xu, your hands are really too skillful."
The topics surrounding Xu Jiao are inseparable from Xianglu, Xu Jiao didn't have this idea, but now she has.
"In five days, there will be a batch of new fragrances, this time it is a new flavor, you can send someone to guard it in advance."
The ladies were all happy: "Really? Then we must have sent someone to squat early. ”
Except for Yun Rouya sitting in the corner with an unhappy face, Gongsun Ling and Gongsun Long didn't know what was going on, why everyone suddenly surrounded the woman.
"Sister, is this woman's status very noble? You see they're all so enthusiastic about her. Gongsun Long said.
The two sisters sat here and no one came up to take care of them, except for Princess Mae Ruo, who had just asked if they were comfortable here.
Seeing this woman so popular at this time, they couldn't help but guess her identity.
"Why don't we go say hello too?" Gongsun Long proposed that she would live here in the future, and it was necessary to have a good relationship with noble women in advance.
The two sisters stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce themselves: "This noble girl, we two sisters came from Wei State, and when we saw that you had an extraordinary bearing and outstanding appearance, I couldn't help but want to come and talk to you." My name is Gongsun Ling, and my sister's name is Gongsun Long. Gongsun Long nodded at his sister's words.
Xu Jiao felt that they might have misunderstood something, after all, Xianglu was not yet famous in the Wei Kingdom: "The two princesses are good, but I am not a noble girl, I am just a friend of Princess Meiruo." ”
Mei Ruo was so happy when she heard this, she couldn't help but hug Xu Jiao.
Gongsun Ling frowned: "Why should the girl be arrogant, does she not want to make friends with my sisters?" ”
Xu Jiao smiled helplessly: "I'm really not a noble girl, I just opened a shop in the royal capital, and these noble ladies like what I sell, so they came up to ask me about the goods." ”
It turned out to be a lowly merchant girl! She is a dignified princess of Wei Kingdom, and she will take the initiative to please the merchant girl, and so many people around her are looking at her.
Gongsun Ling felt that she had been greatly humiliated, her face was blue and white, and her expression was extremely ugly.
Looking at such a sister, Gongsun Long was a little worried and scared, and immediately pulled his sister away.
These two sisters are really realistic enough, Xu Jiao smiled helplessly.
The ladies who watched the whole process began to comfort her, as if they were afraid that she would stop making perfume in anger: "Miss Xu, don't care about them, the perfume you made is very elegant, it is a work of art, they came from the poor countryside, I don't know." ”
"Yes, yes, I heard that the two sisters were only born to a concubine of King Wei, I don't know why they are so proud."
Xu Jiao was actually not angry, she knew that she was not a merchant girl, so she would not have the so-called inferiority complex. It was not easy for these two sisters to come from afar, Xu Jiao interrupted the discussion of these noble girls: "Forget it, they haven't understood after all, maybe they will use my fragrance, and their mentality will be different." ”
The nobles actually felt that it was very reasonable, and asked Xu Jiao to do more next time, if they grabbed it, they would take it to show off to the two sisters.
The hall soon returned to a happy atmosphere, and a palace official came to inform: "The banquet is about to begin, please move." ”
It's time to go to the banquet right away, if Mei wants to maintain her obligations as a princess, she will take the initiative to invite Gongsun Ling to walk in the front together, after all, she is one of the protagonists in today's banquet.
Gongsun Ling took her sister by the hand, secretly cheered herself up, and stopped straightening her waist.
Xu Jiao likes to wait for everyone to walk almost away, walking at the end of the line, otherwise she will feel too crowded.
There were still a lot of nobles around her, and Zhao Yu took the initiative to hold her: "Miss Xu, sit with us, Princess Meiruo will have to accompany the pair of Wei sisters throughout the whole process for the sake of national etiquette, and may not have time to chat with you." ”
Xu Jiao naturally accepted her kindness, and the conversation just now made her have some good feelings for this bright and generous woman.
The hall used to hold the banquet is very magnificent, and there are some atmospheric styles unique to the Qi country, and everything is open and closed. Before entering the hall, Xu Jiao could hear the sound of silk and bamboo inside, which seemed to be very lively.
The palace people who led the way led them to the seats arranged in advance, and at their request, Xu Jiao and Zhao Yu were specially arranged to sit together.
This is not a big deal, and the seats of the ladies were arranged at random before, in short, they can only sit in this area.
At this time, the banquet had not yet begun, Zhao Yu listened to the music played by the musicians for a while, and began to gossip with Xu Jiao again.
"I heard that you live in the Sixian Marquis Mansion?"
Xu Jiao nodded.
Zhao Yu decided not to pave the way, and directly revealed his gossip heart: "Then what is the relationship between you and Wu Zhan?" He is the most beautiful man in our royal capital, but there are many noble ladies staring at him. ”
