Li Chengguang heard that the whole Liu family was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him from the inside, and the two sides were naturally cold and polite.

After a while, the Bai family, the Yu family, and the Mo family all came one after another, sitting down to drink tea in the spacious courtyard, or standing next to the Qinghu rockery to chat, or wandering in the flowery garden.

Chi Yue looked around, but she hadn't seen Li Qingqing yet, but she saw Wen Jing first.

Wen Jing also saw Chi Yue, who was following Mrs. Liu closely, and raised her eyebrows slightly in astonishment.

Immediately after, she sneered, stepped forward, and said arrogantly: "Yo, I thought I recognized the wrong person, but it turned out to be you." You really have the ability, you can climb up to Gu Gongzi when Gu Gongzi is here, Gu Gongzi is gone, and you will immediately tie up with Mrs. Liu? This ability to cling to the powerful, but no one can compare to you. ”

The sarcasm of these words is annoying to anyone who hears it.

Chi Yue refused to swallow her anger, and replied with a sneer: "Look at what Miss Wen said, didn't she even belittle herself?" I know that Gu Gongzi and Mrs. Liu are clinging to the powerful, so Miss Wen knows so many graceful ladies and daughters, and if she doesn't take us and other rural poor in her eyes, wouldn't it be near and far from poor? The county lord is the parent official of the people, and he should treat everyone equally, regardless of whether he is high or low, Miss Wen is like this, this is not the demeanor that the county lord should have under the rule. ”

"You little hoof, your ability to talk back is getting more and more exquisite, and Mrs. Liu must have been fooled by your rhetorical mouth, so she was willing to take you to this place that doesn't belong to people like you." Wen Jing gritted her teeth and said.

Mrs. Liu was talking to the second young lady of the Bai family on the same side, and when she heard Wen Jing say this, she frowned, walked over and said hesitantly: "Miss Wen, I respect you as Lord Wen's daughter, but you should also respect me as the young lady of the Liu family, yes or no?" ”

Wen Jing thought that Mrs. Liu had misunderstood, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Mrs. Liu is fine." Mrs. Liu, I didn't say that yours was not, but I was just reprimanding this country girl, she shouldn't come here recklessly, if you let the nobles know, she is just a small vendor's pawn, wearing good clothes to eat and drink, don't you think that the Li family can invite anyone, even this kind of frivolous person is also invited, then it is disregard for the dignity, so that everyone's face is lost? How does Master Li deal with himself? ”

Young Lady Liu was angry, "Miss Wen doesn't know, Chi Yue is my friend?" As big as I have face, so does she. Since Miss Wen thinks that she can't be on the stage, she even said that I can't be on the stage and can't enter this kind of occasion? Let's talk about it, if that's the case, I'll leave with my sister in the same month. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Chi Yue's hand and prepared to leave at any time.

The second young lady of the Bai family on the side hurriedly smiled and came up to the round, "Today is a happy day for Master Li's return, it should be lively and harmonious, what is the trouble everyone?" If you want me to say, what is poor and lowly on the table is not on the table, all are floating clouds, but you have to see what the quality of this person is, whether he is talented, and worthy of talking to the nobles here, this is important. Do you think that when he was the prime minister of North and South Korea, he was not originally born a poor peasant, and he studied hard for more than ten years before he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he rose to the top, and only then did he become a high-ranking official who everyone admires and flatters today? Looking at Miss Chi today, she is just a small pawn of a trader, but if later, when she becomes a business tycoon, and even Prime Minister Han has to give three points to her, I think Miss Wen should regret her reckless words today. ”

Chi Yue couldn't help but glance at the second young lady of the Bai family, only to feel that the few words she said calmly, every sentence she said was reasonable, and every word was heartbreaking, which made people have to be convinced.

Wen Jing saw that Mrs. Liu and the second young lady of the Bai family actually helped Chi Yue to target her, and she wanted to have a seizure but couldn't, so she had to swallow her anger and said: "I didn't know that Miss Chi was a friend of Mrs. Liu, so I was a little reckless, and I ask Mrs. Liu to forgive me." ”

After all, she is the daughter of the county master, and the county lady is also talking freely with the old men in the lobby, and it is inconvenient for Mrs. Liu to be too tough, so she gave Wen Jing the next step, "It doesn't matter, since I know, I hope that in the future, although Miss Wen treats my sister Yue'er politely, she can also look down on my Liu family." ”

Seeing that Young Lady Liu was commensurate with Sister Chi Yue, Wen Jing couldn't help but be more and more stunned.

Didn't Chi Yue once offend Mrs. Liu, because the latter was in prison and suffered a lot?

It stands to reason that it is extremely difficult for these two people to resolve their grudges and become friends, how can they still be commensurate with each other and be so intimate?

Could it be that Chi Yue did Mrs. Liu a great favor to make them smile and enmity with each other, and asked Mrs. Liu to be grateful to her?

Thinking like this, Wen Jing saw that everyone turned their eyes to the side, so she also followed everyone's gaze.

"Miss Li is here." Someone whispered.

Chi Yue looked intently at Miss Li, who had just appeared in the inner courtyard.

Seeing that she was tall, slightly older than Chi Xin, and two years younger than Mrs. Liu. With a soft whip wrapped around his waist, his hair bun is not as complicated as many women, just a simple hold, his steps are fast and light, and his eyes burst with unfathomable coldness.

The whole person exudes a fierce momentum from top to bottom, without the gentleness of a girl, but at first glance, it looks like a boy who does things simply and never drags mud and water.

"Your daughter is getting older and more beautiful, and she is so capable, I heard that she has opened her own workshop, I really don't know which family is lucky enough to marry your daughter into the door? That's eight lifetimes of creation. Mrs. Liu praised Mrs. Li to the fullest.

Li Qingqing didn't participate in the small talk of many young ladies, and walked straight to Mrs. Li's side, nodding slightly towards Mrs. Liu, which was regarded as a greeting.

If it weren't for Mrs. Li urging her to come, she would have disdained to participate in such a noisy but boring occasion, wasting her precious time.

When she has time, she can settle accounts, play with swords, and then disguise herself as a man, and go out to the sea for a drink with some fox friends than staying in this group of birds and chirping women.

Mrs. Liu didn't think Li Qingqing was rude, because she had been here too much and was already used to it, so she continued with a smile: "I heard that Qingqing's workshop has just been established, and it has crushed two large sugar workshops, and even Gu Gongzi's workshop can't compare to her prosperous business!" I also heard that the brown sugar in Qingqing's workshop was also sent to the capital, and there were major provincial capitals to peddle it, which was called a shortage of supply! Qingqing is so business-minded, many men admire themselves, if our family's eldest Lang Erlang is half as strong as hers, we don't need to worry about their future. ”

Mrs. Li couldn't stop praising her daughter when she heard Mrs. Liu, which made her overjoyed, and smiled, "Sister praised it falsely, where is your Qingqing saying so good?" She just opened a small workshop, and she won't be able to succeed, so she will have to wait two years to see it. ”

Although she replied so humbly, Mrs. Li showed irrepressible triumph on her face, and she was proud of her daughter.

After listening to the words of the two, Mrs. Liu suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, glanced at Chi Yue, simply stepped forward, and smiled slightly at Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li, don't blame me for talking too much." Miss Li's talent is self-evident, everyone can see it, but how did I hear that Miss Li attacked the opponent's workshop, so that she was able to compete with Gu Gongzi's workshop, and accounted for nearly half of the brown sugar market without resistance? Miss Li, but I don't know if this rumor is true or not? ”

As she spoke, she cast her eyes on Li Qingqing.

Although she also felt that it was not appropriate to say these things at this time, and she did not call herself a grudge with the Li family, but she had already sworn in front of Chi Yue that she would boast about Haikou and help Chi Yue get justice, if she retreated at this time, how would she face Chi Yue's friend in the future?

Yes, even though her heart kept beating drums and her palms were sweating with nervousness, Mrs. Liu was still determined to spit out these words as soon as possible.

Sure enough, when everyone present heard Mrs. Liu's words, they immediately lowered their faces, silent, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Li Qingqing's attack on the opponent, everyone knows it, and they all know that Li Qingqing is wrong. But Li Qingqing is the eldest lady of the Li family after all, and there is a big backer behind her, and they ordinary people can't afford to offend. What's more, this is participating in the banquet at the Li family again, who would offend the master's family for no reason? Unless you are idle and have enough to eat, you are looking for trouble.

And on weekdays, I see that Mrs. Liu Shao's speech and demeanor are moderate, arrogant is a little arrogant, not easy to approach, but it will not offend anyone for no reason, not to mention that the Li family often interacts with the Liu family, if she offends Li Qingqing, she is not afraid that Mrs. Liu will blame?

I think it must be Li Qingqing who has a dislike for her, so she ignores it so much and shows Li Qingqing's ugliness in person?

Everyone guessed in private, and Young Lady Liu frowned, and reprimanded with a hesitant face: "What are you doing with these now?" Those are all rumors created by villains out of nothing, can anyone believe them? It seems that you have not remembered a word of what I have taught you on weekdays, but if so, you can go back and think about the past, and you will not have to sit at this feast. ”

Mrs. Liu was reprimanded by Mrs. Liu in front of everyone, only to feel that she had no face, and she couldn't help blushing, gritting her teeth and not knowing what to say.

She regretted it now, how could she question Li Qingqing in front of Mrs. Liu? Hey, confused!

Mrs. Li hurriedly played a round game, "Sister, why should you blame Mrs. Liu? Mrs. Liu Shao thought that she came here to clarify these rumors about my family Qingqing, so she brought it up here and asked Qingqing to explain. It's the first time I've heard of these rumors, if they really exist, wouldn't it make people misunderstand Qingqing, how can Qingqing behave from now on, wouldn't it make people laugh? Yes, I have to thank Mrs. Liu for her reminder. ”

Mrs. Li really hadn't heard of these rumors. If she knew that Liu Qingqing had instructed her subordinates, she should not tell her these rumors and broken words, and keep her in the dark for so long, she might have to vomit blood in anger before she stopped.

"But I don't know how people outside are rumoring, how does our family Qingqing fight the opponent?" Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Liu Shao.

Mrs. Liu saw that Mrs. Li decided to know about this at this time, and she would never give up if she didn't know it, so she had to hold back and didn't continue to stop her daughter-in-law.
