Chapter 63: Mrs. Li's Banquet

"That's natural, the craftsmanship of the Li family's lady, but it's famous from the boudoir." For this same aesthetic, Jiang Liuyu began to get along harmoniously with the people around her.

"When the tea fairy was elected in the capital, Mrs. Li, who was not out of the cabinet, won the championship in one fell swoop, but unfortunately it was never held in the future."

I didn't expect such an approachable Mrs. Li to be so deeply hidden, Jiang Liuyu admired it from the bottom of her heart. It is not easy to learn the complex rules in the capital since childhood, and it is difficult for Jiang Liuyu to learn to make tea with teeth grinding like this.

"It's just that I spend more effort making tea than others, and diligence can make up for it. If I still run for the Tea Fairy all these years, I guess I may not be elected again. ”

People who are more powerful than you are more modest than you, Jiang Liuyu began to wonder how Mrs. Qiao would feel. Looking at Mrs. Qiao's disgusted frowns again, Jiang Liuyu knew that she didn't have any reflection.

This tea tasting is too boring, but the only benefit is that Jiang Liuyu has met new friends. After all the ladies said goodbye to Mrs. Li, Jiang Liuyu walked up to her.

"Thank you so much for Mrs. Li today, otherwise my lord's face will be lost by me." Jiang Liuyu shook his head self-deprecatingly. She naturally knew that Su Jingye would not blame her, but Jiang Liuyu would always have some resentment in her heart.

"It's a lot of effort, so much to worry about. With the prince's deep affection for the princess, he definitely can't bear the princess to be gossiped about. Mrs. Li's voice was still so soft, "Actually, the deep love between the prince and the princess has long made all the ladies in the capital envious." ”

It is true that there are many marriages caused by interests in the capital, and each family has its own scriptures that are difficult to read. In comparison, Jiang Liuyu is definitely the happiest. Thinking of Su Jingye, who gave her this happiness, Jiang Liuyu's heart was sweet.

"But the princess really wants to thank me, I have something to trouble the princess."

Jiang Liuyu immediately came back to his senses: "Mrs. Li, please speak." ”

"The new official of my family is the secretary of the military department, and he has no deep relationship with the major people in the DPRK and China. I thought about tomorrow as a reason to enjoy the flowers, invite the ladies of all the major families to come to the house, and invite the princess to come to the party, so that the banquet will not be deserted. ”

"But I don't know how to socialize," Mrs. Li said, staring at Jiang Liuyu with her eyes, Jiang Liuyu was unable to look at her, so she had to respond, "Okay, Mrs. Li turned back to me and spoke, I will help you from now on." ”

"Thank you so much, Princess." After a few words, the person who thanked her became Li Niangzi, and Jiang Liuyu felt that she owed a favor, so she accepted her invitation without any suspicion.

In the early morning of the next day, several ladies were invited to come to the house of the military department Shangshu early, and Mrs. Li had just asked her subordinates to prepare the things, so she hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically.

"Mrs. Gu, and the lady of Yongjun, you are too early to come, please sit inside."

Mrs. Gu was originally the house-filler of Gu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so she has always been good friends with the Li family, so Mrs. Gu also attaches great importance to Mrs. Li's invitation. And Pei Yong, the king of Yongjun, is the only Wenchen in the court who has been knighted.

Because of this, the lady of Yongjun Wang is above the top, and she communicates with people, only to see if people can make her listen to her ears. And Mrs. Li didn't know what method she used, and she met Mrs. Wang of Yongjun, but she met a few times, just like best friends.

"The little county king in the belly of the county king's lady should also be born at the right time." Mrs. Li lovingly touched the belly of the princess, and the princess smiled proudly and happily: "Soon, the doctor said that it is estimated that she will be able to give birth next month." ”

"The princess of the county is really a blessing, the prince of the county and the lady are deeply in love, there are only two people in the backyard, if this is a son, someone will inherit the title of the prince of the county." Mrs. Gu's eyes were full of envy.

"That's natural, I'm definitely a little county king in my belly." The princess of the county bent the corners of her mouth proudly, "It's just that yesterday in Qiao's house, the first time I saw such a princess who didn't know the rules, it scared me to go back and have a stomachache for a long time." ”

"It is said that Princess Jing is a wild girl picked up by King Jing from the mountains and forests, and she is the most vulgar, but the princess of the county is not frightened, right?" Mrs. Gu cared, and the princess sighed.

"Fortunately, it's just that I drank too much tea and flatulence, and if something really happened to my child, I still have nowhere to find someone to complain."

"This is a sparrow, even if it flies on the branches, it can't become a phoenix." Mrs. Gu's eyes were disdainful, "Look at the gait she deliberately imitated yesterday, it is so clumsy, she is a serious lady who can't look past it." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Gu pulled Mrs. Li, "It's just that you still helped her out of the siege, saying that she didn't make people laugh out of her big teeth as soon as she appeared." ”

"I also saw her come to such a prosperous capital for the first time from the mountains and forests, I just pity her, no matter how much she can't be called a waste of Mrs. Qiao's good tea." Mrs. Li stood up, "I'll go outside and take a look, it should be time for her to come over too." ”

"Who? You called King Jing to fly over again? The princess couldn't help frowning, "Looking at her rude posture again, I'm afraid my whole body will be uncomfortable." ”

"The people of the mountains and wilderness are the most simple, isn't it convenient for us to have fun." Li Niangzi stood up with a smile and patted her hands, "You guys sit down for a while, and you'll have a good show later." ”

Compared with the exquisite Qiao family's courtyard, the gate of the Li family is much more rustic. Jiang Liuyu stepped out of the carriage, and before she entered the door, Mrs. Li just arrived.

"The princess came so early, I almost didn't pick it up." Mrs. Li took Jiang Liuyu's hand familiarly, Jiang Liuyu bent her eyebrows and smiled: "Mrs. Li has a lot of guests today, don't you have to come out to greet each other one by one?" ”

"Since this is the case, Fang shows sincerity. Princess, please come in quickly. Li Niangzi bowed her head, and just as she was about to take her in, a carriage stopped at the door, and Li Niangzi stopped.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Qiao, a rare guest."

As soon as she saw that it was Mrs. Qiao's family, Jiang Liuyu's face suddenly turned cold. She wanted to blame Mrs. Li very much, why did she invite Mrs. Qiao too? But after thinking about it, Mrs. Li is to socialize with these ladies, and it is estimated that it is not good to leave Mrs. Qiao alone.

Seeing Xiao Sidu looking at her strangely at the door, Jiang Liuyu had no choice but to endure it, smiled reluctantly, and pretended not to see it, and went in first.

The Li family's house is not big, but it is not small, but there are many rockeries, and Jiang Liuyu walked and almost got lost. Fortunately, your lady was afraid that he would get lost, so she specially called a maid to bring her over.

By the time all the ladies had arrived, it was almost noon. Mrs. Li instructed her subordinates and told the ladies about the arrangements.

"Today there are many clouds, and it is a little stuffy, sitting in the house is inevitably suffocating, and it is inconvenient to watch the hibiscus in full bloom in the garden. I made the decision and asked someone to arrange the banquet on the patio, I don't know what the ladies think? ”

"Mrs. Li is exquisite, how can we live up to it, we are free to be guests." It was Mrs. Gu who was the best friend of Mrs. Li who spoke.

Jiang Liuyu didn't have any other opinions, just looked at this garden carefully. A large lotus pond was dug in the center of the garden, and the surrounding area was dotted with various strange stones. In addition to some pavilions, water pavilions and willow trees by the pool, hibiscus is planted in the empty place of strange rocks.

The color of this hibiscus is elegant, it has no fragrance and does not attract insects, even if you eat out, you will not be disturbed by mosquitoes. Jiang Liuyu was looking at it vigorously, and couldn't help but think about taking a few steps over, picking one and watching it carefully, but he didn't notice that someone was passing by.

A little maid carrying a wooden bucket passed by Jiang Liuyu, and Jiang Liuyu didn't stand still for a while, so she touched the little maid slightly. I don't know if the barrel was too big, or the little girl's strength was too small, the barrel fell to the ground with her hands off, and the water was splashed out, just sprinkled on Mrs. Qiao's shoes.

Mrs. Qiao angrily pushed the little maid: "How do you do things?" Don't have long eyes? ”

"This, this is not about the slave maid, it is the lady in the back who accidentally hit me, and the water will be spilled." The little maid tried to defend herself, and Mrs. Qiao poked her eyes out and said mockingly: "Are you sure, the one behind you is Princess Jing." If you want to offend her, you might as well admit punishment yourself. ”

The little maid suddenly trembled with fright: "The slave and maid admit the punishment, the slave and maid are speechless for a while, and please Princess Jing not to blame." ”

As soon as this song was harmonized, Jiang Liuyu's heart became nameless when she listened, "I accidentally touched her just now and soiled Mrs. Qiao's shoes, I will compensate you for a pair, you don't have to involve others." ”

"The princess has only had a feud with me before, why do you want to lose my face in front of everyone?" Mrs. Qiao pretended to be pitiful, which made most people believe it, "I don't dare to accept the princess to compensate me for my shoes, so please don't target me again in the future." ”

Mrs. Qiao is kind to others, what big things can be, Princess Jing is too stingy and has no measure, so she has to be careful not to offend her in the future. Listening to the rumors of the people around him, Jiang Liuyu was even more angry.

"That's her fault," Jiang Liuyu just wanted to explain, and Mrs. Li came over to play a round. "All the officials are officials in the same court, and they always have to see each other from time to time, if there is a rift between us, it is not good to oppose the officials."

"Please also ask the princess to look at my thin noodles and make peace with Mrs. Qiao?" Li Niangzi's words seemed to be asking Jiang Liuyu's opinion, but she invisibly confirmed her small belly and chicken intestines.

Jiang Liuyu couldn't believe her ears, and looked at her with wide eyes, very incomprehensible why she spoke like this.

"It is worthy of Mrs. Li, she is so knowledgeable, and she also asks the princess to raise her noble hand, so as not to spoil Mrs. Li's mind." Mrs. Gu also came out to persuade her.

Listening to Suosuo's pointing and pointing around, Jiang Liuyu felt the greatest malice from this group of mouthy women.

Mrs. Qiao was aggrieved on the surface, but in fact, she walked up to Jiang Liuyu proudly, "If I offend the princess in anything, it is all my unintentional time, and now I have come to ask the princess for forgiveness, but I don't know if the princess is willing to give me this face." ”
