Chapter 621 - Offending People with Too High Vision
The county lord of Jingyi immediately changed his face, because she guessed that the man who sneered must be laughing at his son marrying a peasant daughter.
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked for this bold and sneering person, but after looking around, they couldn't find this person.
Fu Xiaojiu saw that her face changed, so he started a round, "Today is the housewarming banquet of the little girl's family, I didn't expect many nobles to come, it is really an honor for the little girl's family." I'd like to toast you all and thank you for being so supportive. ”
Fu Xiaojiu poured himself a glass of wine, then smiled gratefully at everyone, and drank all the wine in the cup.
Fu Xiaojiu is today's host, and when she said so, it was inconvenient for everyone to hold on to the person who sneered presumptuously.
Princess Zhenting took the lead in raising her wine glass and said: "Xiao Jiu Mo wants to be so polite to us, the reason why we can come today is to treat you as a friend, and we are happy for you from the bottom of our hearts when we see that your family's life is prosperous." ”
After Princess Zhenting finished speaking, the county lord of Jingyi also said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is right, we all regard you as friends, I wish you and your husband a bright future!" ”
The female guests raised their glasses one after another, and the atmosphere of the scene was finally no longer embarrassing.
When everyone put down their wine glasses, Fu Xiaojiu found that Mrs. Lu was looking at the county lord of Jingyi, with a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Fu Xiaojiu guessed just now that the only person who dared to laugh at the county lord of Jingyi was Mrs. Lu.
The county lord of Jingyi should also know who dared to laugh at her, but in front of everyone, the county lord of Jingyi didn't want to tear his face with her.
After dealing with these distinguished guests, Fu Xiaojiu went to Wan Feizhi's side.
Wan Feizhi's face was ruddy, and he was more round and jade than before, and he looked more mature.
Wan Pozi had also been busy greeting guests just now, and she had just sat down beside Wan Feizhi at this moment.
When Mrs. Wan saw Fu Xiaojiu coming, she hurriedly pulled her and said, "Xiaojiu, don't be busy, sit down and eat." ”
After Fu Xiaojiu sat down, he chatted with Wan Pozi and Wan Feizhi about Lu Qianying and Huo Wen.
Wan Pozi said that she saw that Huo Wen was as free and easy as Princess Zhenting, and at first glance she was a woman with grace, so that Fu Xiaojiu had more contact with her.
However, when I heard that Lu Qianying was pregnant, Fu Xiaojiu seemed to care about her very much, so Wan Pozi was a little strange.
"Xiao Jiu, why do you suddenly care about Lu Qianying?"
Fu Xiaojiu was afraid that Wan Pozi would worry, so he didn't tell the truth, and said helplessly: "For the sake of justice, I need to have a good relationship with the families of these officials, even if I don't like them in my heart, I have to get by on face." ”
Wan Feizhi immediately said when he heard this: "What the third sister-in-law said is reasonable. This officialdom is the most sinister and dangerous, unless you completely tear your face, you have to get by on your face. Third sister-in-law, you have worked really hard. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said willingly: "Your third brother deals with heavy official duties every day, and it is hard to deal with colleagues, and it is nothing if I can help." ”
Wan Pozi said distressedly: "I see that you seem to be thinner than a few days ago. Xiao Jiu, I'm not at home to take care of Feizhi during this time, you have to take care of yourself. If you have anything to eat, come over with the third child and Sam'er, and I'll make it for you. ”
Wan Fei immediately said enthusiastically: "Third sister-in-law, don't see me and Yusheng. We live in our own yard, and my father-in-law is a very easy-going person, so you can come as your family wants. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said with some regret: "Now at the end of the year, all the yamen are very busy, your third brother has recently returned home and is busy with official business, I am afraid that he will not have time to visit you often." But as long as I have time, I will go and see you often. ”
Wan Feizhi nodded and asked, "Big brother and second brother, are they almost there?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu said expectantly: "He should arrive in about five days." This year's Chinese New Year is really going to be lively. ”
Although Wan Pozi still remembers the faces of Wan Da and Wan Er when they parted, she is still very relieved to see that their brothers have worked hard over the years, and they have never caused trouble to Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu.
After all, the two of them are also the meat that fell from her body, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and Wan Pozi can't help but miss them extraordinarily.
Wan Pozi said gratefully to Fu Xiaojiu again: "It's all Xiaojiu, you have a heart." When your eldest brother and second brother come, you have to let them thank you. ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled embarrassedly, "Mother, why are you polite to me again?" ”
"Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really affectionate, I haven't seen many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who can get along so well like you."
Madame Gui walked over as she spoke, followed by a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Lady Gui." Fu Xiaojiu politely saluted her.
Mrs. Gui smiled very kindly, "Mrs. Wan, please excuse me." We don't have to have so many rules in private. ”
Fu Xiaojiu introduced Mrs. Gui to Wan Pozi and Wan Feizhi, and learned that she was the wife of Wan Lin's boss, and Wan Pozi and Wan Feizhi were very polite to her.
Fu Xiaojiu saw that the girl next to Mrs. Gui was wearing jewels and looked handsome, so he asked, "Who is this?" ”
Mrs. Gui looked at her and said, "This is my niece Qiu Haitang, she just came from home to play a few days ago, so I brought her over to see the world." ”
"The little girl Qiu Haitang has seen Mrs. Yuxiu."
Fu Xiaojiu praised her: "Miss Qiu is really beautiful. Is Miss Qiu's family not in Beijing? ”
Mrs. Gui replied: "Her family is not from the capital, she is the youngest daughter of my brother's family, isn't she at the age of leaving the cabinet?" I asked her to come to the capital, thinking about finding a good family for her. ”
Madame Gui glanced in the direction of Princess Zhenting as she spoke.
Fu Xiaojiu immediately understood what she meant, she wanted to marry her niece to the Zhenting Palace.
It's a pity that Mrs. Gui doesn't know the type that Huo Jing likes, this Qiu Haitang is a pampered daughter at first glance, and she doesn't meet the standard of a lady in Huo Jing's mind at all.
Fu Xiaojiu pretended not to understand Mrs. Gui's eyes, and said with a smile: "Your niece is a blessed person at first glance, and she will definitely be able to find Ruyi Langjun." ”
Mrs. Gui's eyes showed a hint of pride, and Qiu Haitang lowered her head shyly.
Madame Gui looked in the direction of Princess Zhenting again, and said, "I'm going to talk to Princess Zhenting for a while, we used to have a good relationship, and I haven't taken much time to chat with her since she came back." ”
Fu Xiaojiu sent her over, and Wan Pozi said in her ear: "She wants to marry her niece to Shizi, right?" To be honest, her niece is good-looking, but I don't like her like this. ”
Fu Xiaojiu covered his mouth and smiled: "Now the daughters in the capital want to marry the prince of Zhenting, but the prince has already had an idea in his heart, and I am afraid that most of the daughters will be disappointed." ”
Wan Pozi asked curiously: "What kind of daughter-in-law does he want to find?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled mysteriously, "He wants to find something different." ”
"Different?" The question mark on Wan Pozi's head is even bigger.
Mrs. Gui led Qiu Haitang to Princess Zhenting, and Princess Zhenting saw their thoughts at a glance.
After Mrs. Gui talked to her for a while, she finally began to introduce Qiu Haitang.
Princess Zhenting patiently listened to her praise Qiu Haitang openly and secretly, and said confusedly: "This kid looks good, okay, I remember, if there is a suitable son, I will help you keep an eye on it." ”
As soon as Princess Zhenting finished speaking, Mrs. Gui's expression stiffened slightly for a moment, and Qiu Haitang was also stunned.
But Mrs. Gui still laughed, "Hehe, then thank you princess." These juniors, just let us bother. ”
Mrs. Gui was rejected very directly, and when she led Qiu Haitang back to her seat, her face was black.
Qiu Haitang's face was not good-looking, and she always felt that others knew that Princess Zhenting didn't take a fancy to her, so she kept her head down and didn't dare to raise her head.
When Mrs. Gui was feeling unhappy for Qiu Haitang and complaining that Princess Zhenting's vision was too high, she suddenly heard Mrs. Dou Xianxu, who was sitting not far away, talking to others.
She vaguely heard that it seemed that the Dou family had also gone to marry the Zhenting Wang's family, and it was the three members of the Zhenting Wang's family who went to their house together, but the prince didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to have a fancy for her daughter.
Hearing that Mrs. Gui's heart was a little more balanced, she couldn't help but glance at Princess Zhenting, and muttered to Qiu Haitang: "The threshold of this Zhenting Palace's Mansion is too high, right?" She can't look down on anyone, doesn't she still want to marry a princess to the prince? ”
The eyes of the prince of Zhenbei are above the top, and the rumors that no one's daughter can look down on him gradually spread at the banquet.
Originally, there were many girls who admired him, and they were not afraid that he would be at risk of martyrdom in the future if he was a military general, and there were many who were willing to marry him.
But now that I heard that the Zhenting King's family was too high-minded, not only did these young ladies retreat, but also offended their old mothers, these ladies were waiting to see the jokes of the prince and wanted to see what kind of princess he could marry.
When Fu Xiaojiu was dealing with the ladies here, Wan Lin was also dealing with his colleagues and friends.
Because Wan Lin is the host this time, the King of Zhen Ting can talk to Wan Lin for a while without worrying about others.
King Zhenting knew that Cheng Qizhi was related to the Wan Lin family, but found that Cheng Qizhi did not come.
Although King Zhenting is fighting outside most of the time, he still knows about the affairs in the court, and there is something wrong with Cheng Qizhi not appearing on such an occasion.
King Zhenting asked Wan Lin why Cheng Qizhi didn't come, and Wan Lin said that he asked someone to send a congratulatory gift, and there might be something else so he didn't come.
When King Zhenting saw Wan Lin's natural answer, he didn't care.
Ever since the three members of the Zhenting King's family went to the Dou family but there was no follow-up, Dou Xianxu always wanted to ask the Zhenting King Huo Jing's meaning.
He always felt that his daughter still had a chance, and he saw the right time to come to the side of the King of Thunder.
As soon as he walked over, he saw a man with a beard on his face walking up to King Zhenting.
The man looked like a military general with a big waist and a round waist, Dou Xianxu thought that they were going to talk about marching and fighting, but as soon as the man spoke, Dou Xianxu's head "buzzed".
