Chapter 17: Going to the Feast
Entering the Houfu Flower Hall, the Lu family greeted the other ladies who had already arrived, Bai Yunxi and Bai Mu Jinze followed behind and smiled, and under the recommendation of the Lu family, they greeted some ladies.
"Madame Bai, this must be the eldest daughter left by your sister, right? It's really Peugeot, a beautiful embryo alive, why didn't you take her out before? "Mrs. Hou He is a straightforward person, and when she saw Bai Hibiscus looking so dignified and decent, she expressed the doubts in her heart.
The other ladies also looked at the Lu family, and they were also full of doubts, this eldest lady is not as cowardly and timid as the rumors?
Lu was embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to answer, Bai Yunxi saw her mother like this, and immediately jumped out and said: "My sister has never liked to go out, she is afraid of giving birth, her mother always advises her to come out and move around more, and today it was my grandmother who spoke, and my sister was willing to come to the banquet!" ”
These words confirmed the rumors that Bai Mu Hibiscus was cowardly and timid, and made many ladies have another view of Bai Mu Hibiscus, how can there be such a noble girl in a family who is so courageless, and she is even afraid to go out, it's really funny!
Today's Hou Mansion held a banquet, but the purpose was to choose a suitable object for the two school-age sons of the Hou Mansion, and He's first impression of Bai Mu Hibiscus was very good, but when he heard Bai Yunxi say this, he inevitably felt a little regretful in his heart. It's beautiful and decent, why is it so weak?
Bai Muhibiscus saw everyone's thoughts in his eyes, but he remained silent, still smiling at everyone without changing his face, just looking at Bai Yunxi's eyes slightly sad, and said: "Sister, you are young, I don't care about you, but how can you talk nonsense in front of so many ladies, arranging the eldest sister?" It's just that outsiders say I'm cowardly, they don't know the facts after all! Every time I can't come to a banquet, isn't it because I always have an impromptu situation? Coincidentally, why do I have to do something before I go out every time, so I can't make the trip? ”
As soon as these words came out, the ladies present all knew that who had not experienced the battle in the back house, but they didn't expect this Lu family to treat their sister's daughter so harshly!
Everyone looked at the Lu family with a little disdain, and slandered in their hearts, it was her own niece, even if she didn't want to see the daughter of the original wife, she couldn't bully it so blatantly, it was too undignified, it seemed that the daughter of the concubine was so undignified.
When Lu Ningxiang heard this, her heart was churning with anger, but she couldn't have a seizure, she only glared at her daughter and said, "Yunxi, you are too ignorant, what have you explained to you at home?" Your grandmother is expecting her sister to show her face in the Hou Mansion today, how can you tear it down? ”
Bai Yunxi immediately said pitifully: "Sister, I'm sorry, Xi'er was negligent for a while, and she forgot her grandmother's explanation, don't be surprised!" ”
When the ladies heard this, their brows furrowed slightly, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the eldest lady of the Bai family was specially taught by her grandmother, so she pretended to be dignified, and Bai Yunxi was just straightforward and quick to talk for a while, so she said that she missed her mouth?
Bai Muhibi smiled with relief, took Bai Yunxi's hand, and said, "Silly sister, how can I blame you!" Before my grandmother came, I told me that I wanted to break the short-term and long-term, don't let people think that my eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion is really a person who can't be on the stage, facts speak louder than words, I think all the ladies are knowledgeable, and naturally they will not listen to rumors again! ”
As soon as Bai Muhibiscus said this, coupled with her calm and calm expression, she was so tolerant and generous to her sister's rudeness, standing there without speaking could also make people feel the confidence she exuded, more noble and calm than a young lady of the same age, this is by no means a temperament that can be cultivated overnight.
Weiyuan Hou's wife He Shi immediately came out and said: "That's it, Miss Bai's all-round style, how can she not be like a person who has never seen the world, think about those rumors are not true, a good young lady is actually arranged to have such a bad reputation, in the future, the eldest lady of the Bai family will come out and walk around more, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating!" ”
"Yes, there must be someone with ulterior motives, ladies are like mirrors, how can the daughter taught by my government be a little child!" Seeing this, it was inconvenient for the Lu family to continue to bury the white hibiscus, otherwise it would only make people think that she had bad intentions.
"That's it, it's ......" The ladies also agreed, and no one doubted Bai Hibiscus's temperament, and they all thought that she was a decent and generous girl.
"Sister Yunxi, you're finally here, I haven't seen you for a long time, the sisters who came today are all in the back garden, hurry up and play with me!" A girl in a peach-pink dress walked from outside the flower hall, with a bright smile on her face, and greeted Bai Yunxi enthusiastically!
