Chapter 687: Sitting at the same table
Things have come to this point, and those who are surrounded are also eye-catching.
In terms of identity, it can't compare to Lin Yuyun.
In terms of eloquence, this Jiang Baoqing, who is not easy to mess with, can talk to them to death and vomit blood.
There was no point in staying any longer, and everyone chatted perfunctorily and dispersed.
Jiang Baoqing and Wei Shi, who were holding Sister Shu's little hand tightly, were left.
Wei Shi saw everyone leaving, so he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he could finally breathe fresh air, and his face looked a lot better.
"Thank you so much for the county lord and Grandma Jiang." Wei solemnly thanked Lin Yuyun and Jiang Baoqing.
She is very grateful to Lin Yuyun who relieved her, and in the same way, she is also very grateful to Jiang Baoqing, who she doesn't know, for speaking up for her.
Lin Yuyun blamed herself a little, and apologized to Wei Shi in a low voice: "Brother Xiyuan specially instructed me to take care of my sister-in-law two days ago, but I didn't take good care of my sister-in-law. ”
Wei Shi hurriedly said: "Where is the county lord...... It was just now that I took my three children to meet the eldest princess, and Sister Shu was bored in the house, so I took her to the garden for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet those ladies and ladies. ”
Wei Shi sighed with some emotion: "I really didn't expect that the ladies and ladies in the capital were talking around the corner, I didn't feel anything wrong at first, but then I heard that they were burying me out of the side." ”
Nangong Qin hurriedly jumped out to refute the rumors for herself: "Not all people in the capital are like that." If you don't talk about others, my mother and I won't be like this! They look ugly to death! ”
Wei Shi saw that Nangong Qin was lively and cute, and the appearance of being anxious to distinguish herself also made people smile, she laughed: "Who is this young lady?" ……”
Lin Yuyun introduced a few people to Webster, and everyone knew each other.
Just didn't talk a few words, then a grandmother came, came over to pass the word, saying that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess missed Sister Shu'er, and it was too hot outside, so let Wei take Sister Shu back, don't be hot Sister Shu'er.
Wei got up a little nervously, went to hold Sister Shu'er's hand, and looked at everyone again: "Then, then I'll go to the eldest princess first." ”
Lin Yuyun also got up: "Sister-in-law Wei, I'll go with you." ”
Wei Shi was surprised, delighted, and a little embarrassed: "Then, then trouble you, county lord." ”
Lin Yuyun's cheeks showed a pear vortex, revealing a sweet smile: "It's not troublesome, by the way, Sister-in-law Wei just calls me Yun'er." ”
Saying that, he said goodbye to Jiang Baoqing again.
Lin Yuyun left with Wei, Nangong Qin looked at Wei's back and shook her head, and whispered, "The royal daughter-in-law is not good...... Look at the grandmother just now, in front of us, although the wording is quite polite, but the meaning in that eye is not to look down? ”
Jiang Qing looked at Nangong Qin thoughtfully, feeling that she didn't seem to be as babbling as she looked on the surface.
Jiang Baoqing didn't say anything, and smiled after a while: "It's almost time for the banquet, let's go to the main hall." ”
The three of them took the maid and walked to the main hall where the banquet was held.
The banquet was scattered all over the main hall, because there were many ladies and ladies this time, and the courtyard outside the main hall was also cleaned up into a clean venue, with flowers and a lot of mahogany carved tables of eight immortals.
There is also a singer next to him, singing in the minor tune of Huangmei, babbling, singing tactfully and melodiously.
The banquet was very lively, and the seats were usually determined according to the seniority, but as a royal family, the eldest princess Derong was distant from her relatives according to her own preferences, and she had her own set of standards for row seats. According to the status of the palace family, Jiang Baoqing's seat was naturally arranged in the main hall, and he was at the same table as Second Mrs. Wen and Gong Wan.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, Mrs. Nangong was also arranged at the same table, and when she saw her daughter and Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Qing, she smiled in surprise and helplessly.
Second Mrs. Wen had gained a lot this morning, she took Gong Wan to meet many ladies, and several of them expressed high interest in Gong Wan, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and secretly rubbed together with Second Mrs. Wen to get together next time to have a good chat.
Second Mrs. Wen is in a good mood.
Compared with Second Mrs. Wen with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Gong Wan's expression was much more indifferent.
It wasn't until Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Qing came over that Gong Wan seemed to come alive, revealing an undisguised disgust.
What kind of things are these two sisters, and where are they worthy of having dinner with them!
Second Mrs. Wen seemed to feel something, and happened to see the disdainful smile on the corner of her daughter's mouth.
She felt a sudden burst in her heart, coughed lightly, and reminded Gong Wan.
This expression is so inappropriate that if it is seen by those ladies who like her, they will have to put a question mark on this family affair in their hearts.
Gong Wan was reminded, and she was a little more restrained.
Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Qing kept etiquette and saluted the other ladies on the table.
In the field of food, it is basically impossible to be full, after all, every move is watched by people, and if you exceed the rules a little, you will be secretly ridiculed, which is really not a good experience, and basically few people feast on this kind of banquet.
Everyone politely used some and chatted.
Second Mrs. Wen was in the mood just now and didn't pay much attention, but now she took a closer look at the people sitting around the table, and couldn't help frowning secretly.
It's not that these people come from bad backgrounds - they are all important ministers of the court or powerful people with real power, and almost all of them are equivalent to the Hou Mansion.
But the problem is that these people are all people she used to work with openly and secretly to get closer to each other.
Second Mrs. Wen looked at it quietly, only to see that Mrs. Nangong tilted her head, and was whispering something to Jiang Baoqing, Jiang Baoqing nodded from time to time, or whispered something, you come and go, it looks like the relationship is quite good.
Second Mrs. Wen sneered in her heart, what happened to Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites is not a fat yamen, but it is in charge of various sacrifices and ceremonies, and it seems that some of the sons of heaven are close ministers.
"Baoqing, I haven't seen you much in the past few days, I have some new blood swallows there, which are excellent for women's qi nourishment, and I will send them to Jingxuan when I go back." Second Mrs. Wen smiled, and her words were full of concern.
With so many eyes staring, Second Mrs. Wen naturally wanted to express her tolerance and care as a second aunt. Otherwise, outsiders are going to say it, this Jiang family is the new daughter-in-law of your palace family, why didn't I see you caring more?
Jiang Baoqing looked at Second Mrs. Wen, and also smiled: "Thank you Second Aunt for your love, this is not necessary, I still have some blood swallows, Second Aunt still keeps herself to make up for more body, Dingguo Marquis Mansion is inseparable from Second Aunt." ”
Hypocrisy, wouldn't she?
Gong Wan listened to Jiang Baoqing's words, she almost lost her teeth, she was just about to make a sarcastic speech, and she received a glance swept over by her mother, and gritted her teeth reluctantly.
