No one answered, but they all felt that it was nine times out of ten.

Lin Ruoai relies on her illustrious family background, and she looks like she is high on weekdays, and she rarely has to watch her jokes today, such an opportunity, of course, everyone can't miss it, and they all hope that the county lord of Shanyang will come to the door quickly and let the show Cairo.

Saying that, the Zong Yao people had already arrived.

She is still dressed in a moon-yellow Luo skirt, surrounded by a shark gauze scarf, but she has painted light makeup on her face to show respect, her appearance is more feminine, and she also has two more jade belts on her waist, and a gem-inlaid silver bracelet on her wrist.

"It turned out that the county lord of Shanyang had arrived, and it was rude," Mrs. Zhou greeted in person.

Zong Yao was obviously a little nervous, but he still learned to bow over and salute: "The eldest lady is polite." ”

The eldest lady nodded: "County lord, please take a seat." ”

Even though Zong Yao was born as a concubine, she now has a title, and she also has an undecided marriage contract with Qin Shao, regardless of her status and prestige, she is enough to match most noble girls, so Mrs. Zhou naturally arranged for her to sit on the throne.

However, because Zong Yao was young after all, he placed it at the head of the junior table, and the eldest lady was very smart to separate Zong Yao and Lin Ruoai at two tables, one table was the number one noble girl in Chang'an on Zong Yao's side, and the other table was the noble girl of Chang'an who was close to Lin Ruoai.

In this way, there should be no accidents.

Mrs. Zhou thought and went to greet the other guests.

Zong Yao smiled, but when she sat down, she let the table be quiet, and she was not good at words, fortunately she didn't plan to speak, as for Lin Ruoai? She didn't even bother with it.

"It turns out that this is the county lord of Shanyang," a noble girl in a purple shirt took the initiative to speak, "I heard that you bravely saved the king of Showa County, and you are a heroine of women." ”

Zong Yao pursed her lips, and her voice was soft: "Sister has won the award, I don't follow the rules, if there is anything wrong, please also ask Haihan." ”

The purple-shirted lady raised her eyebrows, and Yinling seemed to smile: "I just returned to the county lord will be a dominatrix, but now it seems that she is a female Jiao'e, with a soft and tight temperament, we don't have to be careful." ”

A string of laughter sounded at the table, and Zong Yao was also much more relaxed, and couldn't help but give the purple-shirted lady a grateful look.

"This little cheap hoof of the Chen family is in a hurry to flatter people, it's really shameless!" The girl next to Lin Ruoai whispered for her, and Lin Ruoai sighed faintly: "The cousin of the Chen family has always looked at me, but now she naturally can't wait to see my jokes." ”

"Miss Zhou is coming soon, if you wait, let's see how the eldest lady humiliates that slut after she finds out."

The corners of Lin Ruoai's lips raised slightly, and she took a sip of tea.

Under the corridor, a young girl with a solemn hair came over, and her rules and manners were all good.

Miss Zhou first saluted the old lady, gave a congratulatory gift and walked to the table, but when she saw the two tables side by side, her face changed slightly, rules are rules, how can there be a thing to go side by side?

The eldest maid beside her immediately whispered: "This is the arrangement of the eldest lady, I am afraid that Miss Lin and the newly promoted lord of Shanyang County will have a tongue and ruin the old lady's birthday banquet." ”

Miss Zhou looked at Lin Ruoai, and saw that the girl who was smiling and smiling on weekdays had a miserable face today, as if she had suffered some terrible grievance, but because of the Zhou family's face, she was not allowed to leave the table.

"Mother is confused, there must always be a rule for the dignity and inferiority of the concubine, how can there be a reason for the concubine and the concubine to sit on an equal footing?" Miss Zhou strode forward and said directly: "Which one is Lin Zongyao?" ”

There was silence for a moment, and all the people at the table looked at Zong Yao.

Of course, Miss Zhou asked this question, how could she not recognize the only fresh face at this table?

"Although the county lord has been rewarded, my Daqin has always been different, and I can't be bullied, you should go to the next seat as a concubine, how dare you sit on an equal footing with your sister, don't you even understand these truths?" Miss Zhou's words are conclusive, quite fatherly.

Lin Ruoai cast a grateful glance at her.

Miss Zhou is even more proud: "My Zhou family has been an official for generations, and I am not afraid of the powerful, if the county lord is not satisfied, he can sue me, and I will bear the guilt." ”

Zong Yao's eyebrows moved, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and moved his eyes slightly: "Presumably this is the famous Miss Zhou." ”

Zong Yao realized that this was Miss Zhou who reminded her to be careful.

This eldest lady was married to Uncle Meng, but Uncle Meng died unexpectedly at the border, and the Meng family did not want to delay the daughter of the family and proposed to dissolve the marriage contract.

Therefore, it was quite praised by the world, and even the queen personally summoned her to reward her after hearing about it.

Now this week, three thirds of the family is to listen to her, and this person is very polite, so before going to the banquet, some grandmothers reminded Zong Yao to be careful.

"I didn't hear much of the words of the Zhou family's sister, who is the sister-in-law and who is the sister-in-law?" Zong Yao smiled and said, she didn't get up, because she asked the rules, and she didn't need to be too polite.

"Naturally—"

"Sister Zhou," the purple-clothed Miss Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally gave the daughter of the Lin family a few days ago, and Miss Zong Yao is the lord of Shanyang County, and she is at the same table with us. ”

Miss Zhou's face froze, and she suddenly thought that Lin Zongyao seemed to be the eldest lady of the Lin family, and what she said just now was not against Zongyao and even the king of Showa, but against His Majesty!

"Sister Chen's kind words, Zong Yao respects you." Zong Yao could also see that Miss Chen was showing favor to her and making friends with her with kindness, without even looking at Miss Zhou's face.

Miss Zhou was once commended by the queen, even her own mother was respectful and pampered, where did she receive such contempt: "What a domineering woman!" Even if you don't talk about the respect of the elders and the young, have you ever visited your mother and respected the elders? ”

Mrs. Lin is Zong Yao's mother-in-law, it stands to reason that no matter what status she is as a daughter, even if Zong Yao becomes the queen, she must also recognize her as her mother-in-law!

Zong Yao sneered: "Miss Zhou is so reasonable, you can ignore the young and the old, why should you talk about the eldest mother?" If you have the heart, ask my sister to bow to me, and I will go and greet the eldest lady. ”

She glanced at Zong Yao with a defiant gaze.

Miss Zhou came to her for trouble for no reason, and Zong Yao didn't believe that Lin Ruoai had anything to do with it.

Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Lin Ruoai, who was watching the play.

"Ruoai," Miss Zhou spoke, she felt that what Zong Yao said also made some sense, but where was Lin Ruoai willing to worship Zong Yao?

But everyone's eyes were like torches, Miss Chen smiled as if the person who wanted to be worshiped was herself, Lin Ruoai had suffered such a grievance, and covered her mouth on the spot and ran out crying.

Zong Yao raised his chin slightly, and said quietly: "Now, it's not the same table." ”

"You!" Miss Zhou gritted her teeth: "What an arrogant and domineering person, my Zhou family is broken-"

"Princess Yuling has arrived!" There was a chorus in front of the door.

The Zhou family's banquet suddenly boiled, although Princess Yuling was not the descendant of Empress Feng, she was raised under the name of the queen since she was a child, and she was still the youngest daughter of His Majesty. Since the death of the two princes, Empress Feng has contracted the disease of the headwind, and whenever there is something to come forward, she will let Princess Yuling do it for her.

This time, it should be for Mrs. Zhou's birthday.

Sure enough, Princess Yuling personally announced her decree and gave the queen a jade ruyi and a scroll of calligraphy and painting, and then took a seat.

She is eighteen years old, dignified and demure, and her smile is very gentle, only because the queen is reluctant to let her daughter go, and now as soon as she sits, she listened to Miss Zhou's complaint: "Please ask Your Highness to comment on this reason." ”

Princess Yuling heard about the future and deliberately looked Zong Yao up and down.

"It turns out that you are Miss Zong Yao," Princess Yuling's voice was very soft, which made people smell like warm water, which was extremely soothing, and even an anxious person like Miss Zhou calmed down.
