Chapter 20: The Wu Family Has a Daughter
Zhou Jingyan still remembered her identity and responsibilities, and after snorting, she led Li Jiangwei to the pavilion in the garden unwillingly.
A pavilion has been built near the east bank of the pond, and there are already many noble ladies sitting in it chatting and playing, and not far from the pavilion stand the personal maids of each lady. Li Jiangwei also brought Li Yue over today, and Li Yue, who was outside, didn't like to talk, and followed Li Jiangwei quietly.
A childish little girl in the pavilion saw Zhou Jingyan coming, and ran over and shouted as she ran: "Sister Zhou! β
It was a girl with a pink carving and a red gold ring. When she ran closer and saw Li Jiangwei behind Zhou Jingyan. The little face with a smile suddenly changed its face, and it also spat at Li Jiangwei.
"If I knew she was coming, I wouldn't be here today. first hooked up with the Feng family, and now is rushing to post the Zhou family? β
"Oh my God, I didn't know she was coming."
The girl reluctantly said: "Sister Zhou is today's owner, don't you know if they will come or not?" β
"Mianmian, you also know that today I am the owner. It's up to my sister to think about it, okay if you don't care about her? β
In order to allow her sister to deal with the people at the flower banquet, Li Jiangyun later told her in detail about several women from the same family background as the Zhou family. That voice made Li Jiangwei judge the identity of the person in front of her, this girl should be Jiang Xuemian, the fifth lady of the Hubu Shangshu family.
"Sister Jingyan! It's not like you don't know what their family is doing! β
Rao is good-tempered Li Jiangwei couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard this.
"I offended the girl somehow, and provoked you to come up and mock you. The Zhou family is also a scholarly family that knows books and etiquette, why would they invite such a guest who does not know etiquette? β
"You! Are you embarrassed to mention the number of gifts to me? Jiang Xuemian was angry, "What?" Do you dare to do it? β
I thought that the famous ladies and nobles in the Gaomen compound should not be entangled and unreasonable, but when I saw it today, I realized that I was thinking too much. This group of famous ladies are all thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls.
There are those who are precocious, and there are those who are still childish or pampered.
People are always diverse. Li Jiangwei secretly said in her heart that the characters in the follow-up stories should be like this, and they can't be the same.
"It must be your trick! If it weren't for you, how could Sister Yingluo ......"
"Mianmian!"
Jiang Xuemian's accusation was interrupted by Zhou Jingyan sharply: "It's a good thing that Sister Ning went to the family temple to pray for the first prince. β
Jiang Xuemian pursed her lips and glared at Li Jiangwei unwillingly.
The two people mentioned must be Ning Yingluo, the fiancΓ©e of the former prince. Li Jiangwei never expected that this group of girls' families did not make a fuss for a man, but first quarreled for a girl who did not attend.
"I brought you here, and I can be regarded as completing my mother's task. Just walk around and don't get into trouble with my family. β
After saying this, Zhou Jingyan pulled Jiang Xuemian and walked away. Jiang Xuemian refused, and while resisting Zhou Jingyan's pull, she glared at Li Jiangwei fiercely.
Zhou Jingyan is older, and her strength is much greater than Jiang Xuemian. Jiang Xuemian couldn't pull Zhou Jingyan, so she was pulled by Zhou Jingyan to a relatively remote bamboo forest in the garden.
"Even Sister Zhou wants to face that person?"
Zhou Jingyan sighed again and again, "Think carefully about what you said." If I don't take you away, what earth-shattering words will you say? β
"What did I say? I'm telling the truth! β
"What is the royal matter, can we put our beaks aside?"
Jiang Xuemian was speechless by Zhou Jingyan.
"If you have anger in your heart, just fix her a little. Why put your own family in it? If others know that Sister Yingluo is not sincerely praying for the first prince, are you not afraid that the saint will move to anger the Ning family? β
"I ......"
"Your Jiang family is good friends with the Ning family, and you can't please the Ning family if something happens. Now that you think about it, should I pull you away? β
Although there was unwillingness in her eyes, Jiang Xuemian's tone had softened: "Hmm...... Thank you, Sister Zhou......"
Zhou Jingyan sighed again.
Zhou Jingyan attached her ears and whispered to Jiang Xuemian: "If you are angry, you might as well ...... like this"
A smile gradually crept up Jiang Xuemian's face.
With the examples of Zhou Jingyan and Jiang Xuemian in front, Li Jiangwei also lost interest in the pavilion and looked around.
"Girl, shall we rest in the shed by the pond?"
Because it is to appreciate lotus, the Zhou family has a shed for shade in the pond. Li Jiangwei simply listened to Li Yue's suggestion and walked to the pergola. They vaguely heard someone in the shed read: "The lotus wind is clear and easy to drive away the summer heat, and the jade lotus dew is fragrant." β
Li Jiangwei hadn't heard this poem yet, but she felt that it was appropriate, so she praised it: "Good poetry, good poetry." β
The man who read the poem shook the fan in his hand and looked back, and scolded with a smile, "You are so strange. It's just a casual nonsense poem, and the whole thing is a simple white description. Where's the good noise? β
"I don't know poetry, I just think that the poems I can write are good."
Li Jiangwei smiled and walked into the shed. When the girl saw Li Jiangwei's face clearly, she blurted out: "It's true." β
With a sentence of "true image", Li Jiangwei suddenly understood the identity of the person in front of her.
"Are you a girl from the Wu family?"
"How did you know that I was from the Wu family?"
"Only when my sister is in her mouth can she say something like this."
Wu Shilu burst out laughing, "Count you covered." The name of your Li family Shuangshu has long spread throughout the capital, how can you conclude that it is me by a sentence? β
"Others say it's like, but it's just that they can't tell the two of us sisters apart. Miss Wu's sentence is clearly one of our sisters. β
"I don't admit your reason."
Li Jiangwei can be so sure, which is also related to Jiang Xuemian's confrontation. Among the noble ladies whose status is enough to match this flower banquet, only Wu Shilu is the only one who has a good impression of An Yuanbo's Mansion at the beginning. It's just these words, she can't say to Wu Shilu.
"Anyway, I guessed right!"
Wu Shilu laughed again, "I'm a few months older than Yun'er, and naturally I'm a few months older than you." Why don't you call me sister? β
"Huh! My good sister. β
The two girls burst into laughter.
"You're in good spirits, and it seems that the sunset water has not affected the roots. Thank goodness for the blessing of my ancestors. β
Falling into the water, I am afraid that it is one of the reasons why the original owner is unconscious.
Seeing Li Jiangwei's somewhat sluggish and stunned appearance, Wu Shilu was shocked to realize that he had said something that he shouldn't say, and covered his mouth with a fan in his hand.
"Since you don't want to hear this, let's talk about something else?"
Wu Shilu turned around and quietly glanced at the gazebo not far behind him, and approached Li Jiangwei with a fan covering his mouth.
"Did you see the third lady of the Zhou family when you came?"
"Yes."
"Do you know her name?"
"I've heard my sister say it."
"Then have you heard Yun'er talk about her brothers and sisters?"
Li Jiangwei pricked up her ears and leaned towards Wu Shilu, "Listen to me." β
