Chapter 352: Flower Wine
The maidservant who came to the door was delicate, with a light pink armor inlaid with white wind hair, and an emerald green cotton jacket inside, and she was dressed quite neatly and delicately.
Qin Yining guessed that this should be the powerful big girl beside Mrs. Lu.
"I'm sorry for you." Qin Yining smiled, and with the support of Jiyun and Xianyun, he stepped on the wooden bench and got out of the carriage.
Qin Yining was wearing a snow-white fox fur, with an azure gown and a crescent white eight-panel skirt, dressed as elegant as an orchid, with a bright appearance, even if it was light, it couldn't suppress the sharp beauty.
The maid was stunned for a moment after seeing it clearly, and hurriedly smiled and curtsied: "Mrs. Wei Dao always praises Miss Qin's complexion, but now her opinion is just like the bright moon." ”
Qin Yining straightened the hem of her skirt when she heard this, and smiled slightly: "The saint is like the sun, the queen is like the bright moon, the sun and the moon are shining, I am just the light of a candle, how can I dare to deserve such praise?" ”
When the maidservant heard this, cold sweat came out.
This Miss Qin really deserves to be the daughter of Qin Huaiyuan, a famous minister of a generation, and she is too keen and cautious!
Originally, the maid didn't mean anything else, she just couldn't help but want to please and praise, but when Qin Yining said something, she lost her words.
The maid didn't dare to delay any longer, so she smiled and led Qin Yining into the house.
When he entered the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Qin Yining found that none of the people walking in this mansion were too old, and all the maidservants he saw were young and beautiful, and the little maids were all good-looking.
Qin Yining thought of Mrs. Lu's rumors and appearance, and vaguely understood.
All the way through the mountains and corridors to the main hall, two young men in Tsing Yi were guarding the door.
Qin Yining frowned slightly, what kind of banquet is this? If only women are invited to come, how can there be a small servant waiting here?
Qin Yining quietly entered the door, took off the fox fur and handed it to Xianyun, his eyes signaled Xianyun to wait outside, and he took Jiyun to follow the maidservant who led the way into the main entrance, bypassed the glass screen, and came to a spacious and warm hall like spring.
The hall was covered with red Persian carpet, and the incense burner in the ground was filled with lily incense, and a faint sweet fragrance lingered in the nose.
In the first case, Mrs. Lu and the eldest princess of Anyang were already sitting on it.
There were two desks on each side, and three young women had already taken their seats, and the vacant seats on the left hand side were obviously prepared for Qin Yining.
Qin Yining cleaned up his mood and stepped forward to salute the eldest princess of Anyang with a smile.
"See the eldest princess."
Li Helan was originally accustomed to these women's bejeweled dresses, and at first glance, her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Qin Yining, who was refreshing and had bright ice muscles.
However, she was only distracted for a moment, and then smiled kindly: "Sister Qin is here." Don't be so polite, today is Sister Lu to do the east. ”
Qin Yining saluted Mrs. Lu again, "My little sister has just arrived, thanks to Mrs. Lu's dislike, I am really grateful for inviting me today." ”
Mrs. Lu said a faint "um", pointed to the vacant seat on the left, and said: "Sit down, none of the outsiders who came today are outsiders, Sister Qin first came to the capital, and I don't know much about the things in Beijing, so let's just get together with a few sisters and get to know each other." ”
"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Lu."
Qin Yining sat in the empty seat.
Mrs. Lu smiled and introduced the other three to her.
Plump, about 30 years old, is Mrs. Lu's sister, her husband is doing business abroad, because her husband's surname is Cui, everyone calls her Cui Lu.
The woman with a delicate face and a sad face is Mrs. Cai, but she has been widowed for many years.
The other one who is still young is Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law, because she didn't introduce her name, Qin Yining called her Xiao Lu in her heart.
Among the people present, in addition to her, one is Mrs. Lu's sister, the other is Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law, and there is an eldest princess of Anyang, and a lady Cai, Qin Yining can see that today's banquet should be a show of goodwill to the Qin family in the capital by the side branch of the Lu family where Mrs. Lu is located.
Even if I don't know if the Lu family and the Qin family will stand on opposite sides in the future, this attitude is very necessary.
Presumably, the Lu family also has some arrangements for his father's side.
Just thinking about it, Mrs. Lu had already opened her mouth with a smile, "I invited Sister Qin to come today, one is to get to know our sisters, and the other is that I see my sister going through ups and downs and her appearance is graceful, and I feel that you and I are fellow believers, so I want to make friends with my sister." The tone was too big a change from the last time when it was tense and unpolite.
"yes." Cui Lu nodded with a smile and said, "Originally, I thought that there were few women with such appearance and character as my sister-in-law and the eldest princess of Anyang, but when I saw the sister of the Qin family today, I understood why Prince Zhongshun was so fascinated by you that day." Don't say men, even when I see you, I feel crispy bones. ”
Qin Yining heard that this was a little unusual, but because he didn't know these people, he couldn't say much, so he only smiled.
Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows and smiled, raised her jade hand and clapped her hands three times.
The next moment, there was melodious music.
Qin Yining looked in the direction of the source of the sound, only to find that behind the beaded curtains hanging from the red pillars around him, there were already musicians waiting.
In the tactful music, several dancing girls wearing light gauze came and danced, each with light steps like stepping on a lotus.
Immediately, several men slowly walked into the house.
These men are dressed differently, with different sizes and appearances, and different temperaments, but each of them is a beautiful man with outstanding appearance and temperament, some are tall and elegant, some are magnificent, and there are two beautiful young men who look exactly the same, one wears red clothes, and the other wears white clothes, just like red plums and white plums.
Qin Yining didn't understand why so many men came, but in his heart, he became more and more unhappy with this banquet.
It seems that this Mrs. Lu really doesn't pay attention to rules and etiquette, how can a foreign man be allowed to enter a woman's banquet?
When Mrs. Lu saw these people coming, she immediately smiled, pointed to a young man with a majestic figure and an angular face wearing a silver-white arrow sleeve shirt, and said, "Don't you pour wine for the eldest princess?" ”
He pointed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old white-clothed scribe who described him as gentle and elegant, and said, "It's also full for Miss Qin." ”
The elegant white-clothed scholar smiled slightly, and then came to Qin Yining's side, his white and slender fingers picked up the jade pot, filled the green jade wine cup in front of Qin Yining, and then sat down in the vacant seat next to Qin Yining without permission.
Qin Yining didn't have the slightest expression on his face, seeing that the handsome man with a figure that looked like a was sitting next to the eldest princess of Anyang, holding a pot of wine in his left hand, and his right arm was affectionately placed on the back of the chair behind the eldest princess of Anyang, so offended, but the eldest princess of Anyang was flushed, looked at the man's side face shyly, and then lowered her head.
Qin Yining finally understood what these people were doing!
Like a man who talks about things, he wants to eat flowers and wine.
Mrs. Lu invited her to the banquet, and she also came to eat flowers and wine!
She is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what does Mrs. Lu mean by this!
Thinking of Mrs. Lu's opening remarks, Qin Yining's face burned red, and even his neck turned red.
These people must feel that she has been "snatched" by the anyway, and she should have known the personnel for a long time, and the kidnapped her like that, she may not like that kind of majestic and mighty man, so they arranged a gentle and elegant person to serve her.
And it is not a secret that the eldest princess of Anyang likes Xiao Xiao, it is because Mrs. Lu arranged a man with a similar temperament to Xiao Xiao to serve her.
Should she praise Mrs. Lu for her meticulousness?
"Miss Qin." Seeing that Qin Yining didn't eat wine, the elegant man next to him immediately took the wine cup, looked at her with a smile and gentleness, and his light brown eyes were full of warmth that could melt the winter snow, "Miss Qin, please have a drink, this is a fruit brew specially prepared for you, the wine is not strong, but it is sweet and refreshing." ”
Qin Yining Yan pursed her lips lightly, opened the wine glass that the man was about to bring to her lips, and said in a cold voice: "No need." ”
There is no good wine and no good banquet, Mrs. Lu dares to arrange these men to accompany the wine, and she still dares to use the things here?
The man looked at Qin Yining's beautiful side face stupidly, he had already been stupid, he didn't expect her to refuse him, so he was caught off guard, and a glass of wine was spilled on his sleeves and half of his shirt.
The movement immediately alarmed the first person on board.
Mrs. Lu opened her red lips lightly, opened her mouth to take a petal of orange that the red-clothed young man, one of the twins, fed to her, and leaned delicately on the arms of the white-clothed young man, and looked over angrily when she heard the voice.
Qin Yining stood up and blessed Mrs. Lu and Li Helan, and said, "Thank you Mrs. Lu and the eldest princess of Anyang for their kindness, but the little woman still has something to do at home, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time today, so I will leave first." ”
After that, he turned around and called the red-eared Jiyun above, turned around and left.
Mrs. Lu sat up straight all of a sudden, and slapped the table fiercely, "Qin's! How dare you save my face! If you dare to step out of this door, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Qin Yining sneered, turned around and looked at Mrs. Lu and Li Helan sternly, "Am I scared?" What's more, what is the relationship between you and me when we first get acquainted? I would like to ask the eldest princess of Anyang, you are coming to the banquet, does Dingbei Hou know? ”
"You!" Li Helan was furious when she heard this, but she panicked in her heart, and some guilt climbed up, and the words in her mouth were just brains, "What are you tall!" It's just that Brother Xiao played with the remaining flowers and willows, and today I will give you a chance to taste what it is like to be gentle, but you don't appreciate it! ”
Qin Yining's face was already like frost, and he said coldly: "Then the eldest princess of Anyang just wants to taste the taste of majesty, so she found such a person?" ”
"Shame on you!" The heartache of being poked, Li Helan was ashamed and angry, and she was already in tears.
The man on the side, who was similar to Xiao Xiao, hurriedly hugged Li Helan and whispered comfort in her ear.
Qin Yining looked at a few people in the room, then at Li Helan, and said, "You are just deceiving yourself, the gods are not the same, what can you taste?" Besides, what you're doing now is lowering your own status. That's all I have to say, so please enjoy yourself. ”
