Chapter 35: Chrysanthemum Banquet (1)

The garden in the backyard of the Xiao family's big house is close to the mountain, and there are many chrysanthemums planted, all kinds, especially in autumn, when the chrysanthemums compete for beauty, which can be called a scene.

Of course, Xiao Wangzhi has no interest in appreciating chrysanthemum banquets, but Mrs. Xiao has always liked banquets when she was young, and in the past few years, because of his busy body, she has not held any decent banquets at home for three or four years.

It happened that "the autumn wind is rising, and the crab feet are itchy", so a few days later, Mrs. Xiao happily posted a post and invited the ladies and ladies of various clans in Lanling City to enjoy the flowers and eat crabs, by the way

"By the way, pick a satisfactory daughter-in-law!"

The hexagonal pavilion stands between the gurgling streams and the poplar surrounded by the mountains and rivers, and the flower beds on both sides of the cobblestone path are neatly lined up with several clusters of snow green, fresh and beautiful like a bright and beautiful woman in a pink coat, and the end is graceful.

Zhen Yan didn't see Xiao Wangzhi for a long time, and as soon as he came, he began to talk about the mountains endlessly.

It's just that after he finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Wangzhi didn't react, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that you already knew?" ”

Hot tea was boiling on the stone table, and Xiao Wangzhi used a tea set to hold a cup of slush, "Even if you know, I can't bear to blow my mother's will." ”

"Filial piety!" Zhen Yan praised him without money, and said with a smile after coming over for a while: "But have you ever thought that although you want your aunt to be happy, what if someone really takes advantage of this cheeky entanglement of you?" ”

After speaking, he swept away a broken folding fan and fanned it open.

The cool breeze swept onto the steaming teacup in front of him, and suddenly distorted people's Qingyun Road.

"Who do you mean?" Xiao Wangzhi pondered.

"Miss He."

Zhen admonished this guy to be subtle, and Xiao Wangzhi's big eyes stared.

"Big girl!" The girl called Miss He.

Miss He didn't move, just stunned at the entrance of the garden, not knowing who she was looking at.

Half-ringing, she came back to her senses, twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Whose young lady is that, why has Miss Ben never seen it?" ”

The girl tilted her head to look, and saw a girl wearing a lake-green horse-faced skirt and a ruyi pattern of the same color makeup and flowers coming from the side corner door, and the girl next to her was Mrs. Xiao's big girl Mu Xiang!

The two didn't know what they were talking about, Mu Xiang was smiling, but the girl was smiling slightly, and she didn't raise her head until she crossed the door and reached the person.

It's a new face I've never seen before!

Miss He was immediately unhappy, looking at the whole Lanling, what other girl could be so invited by Mrs. Xiao to laugh with her personal girl?

She regarded the identity of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family as something in her pocket, where could she allow others to rob people under her nose? At that moment, he was angry, and his eyes were crooked.

"Go and inquire," she pushed the girl beside her, and said impatiently, "Hurry up! ”

Seeing that Mu Xiang was gone, and there were no acquaintances in front of him, Qin Miaoyan thought about picking a corner to sit in, and when there were many people, he was uncomfortable and left.

After all, this noble girl who is full of gardens is not the same as her.

Just thinking about it, when she raised her eyes, she saw a girl frowning at the moon cave door not far away.

The girl is dressed in a goose-yellow butterfly skirt, with a goose egg face and phoenix eyes, and a small mouth tightly, she is not a master to be messed with at first glance.

Qin Miaoyan retracted her gaze, lowered her eyelids, sat down calmly, and did a set of actions smoothly.

After a cup of tea, the family of the five old ladies also arrived as scheduled.

Su Yun's identity was not supposed to have such a banquet, but the fifth old lady remembered that Mrs. Xiao liked Qin Miaoyan quite a lot recently, and Su Yun and her were fellow villagers, so they led it over.

Several people greeted each other, and the fifth old lady led the fifth lady and Su Yun to meet Mrs. Xiao who was busy in the backyard first, and counted the courtesies with thoughtfulness.

It was easy to send this wave away, Qin Miaoyan spit out a mouthful of turbidity, who knew that she had not finished taking a sip of the hot tea in front of her, and the sound of rustling wind and messy footsteps suddenly came to her ears.

In an instant, an arm stretched out from the stabbing stab, and slammed straight into her hand holding the teacup.

"You...... What are you doing! Miss He obviously didn't succeed, she staggered and stared at Qin Miaoyan to get up and dodge steadily.

The girl of the Xiao family hurried over when she heard the movement, and whispered in Qin Miaoyan's ear: "This is the eldest lady of the He family, Miss Qin, you take care of ......."

On the other hand, he explained to Miss He.

"I just want to sit down, she messes with me, I say what's wrong with her!"

Miss He puffed up and said: "Auntie, everyone is from a beautiful background, so beautiful in the forest, why did you invite such a person from such a small family and who doesn't know the etiquette?" I don't have to mess up this chrysanthemum feast, it's really bad luck to teach people to look at it! ”

It's their wife's fault to co-author, why don't you tell your wife that you're so capable? What's the deal with bullying Miss Qin?

The girl was also annoyed and didn't talk again.

"It's as if you're polite," Poria said in a loud voice, "Miss He, if you have eyes, you won't hit my girl!" ”

Qing Dai rarely didn't pull Poria apart, but took over the conversation and said: "Miss He, the maid is not good at eye, so let the young ladies around you judge the reasoning, is my girl deliberately messing with you, or do you have to hit my girl?" ”

"You little hooves really don't understand the rules, my girl asks your girl, what are you going to say!" The girl next to Miss He shouted unyieldingly.

It's getting more and more arrogant.

At first, it was better, everyone thought it was just a quarrel, but who knew that the girls around Miss He were too powerful, and the people who were shouting all over the garden listened to it, and couldn't help but look at them one after another.

Facing the fingers, Qing Dai and Poria cocos looked at Qin Miaoyan in unison.

"Miss He," Qin Miaoyan said politely, "I stand in your way, I apologize to you." ”

Miss He snorted, what's the matter, I'm afraid of me now!

"Then you don't get out of here! A merchant girl, knowing that she is in front of Miss Ben, she doesn't hurry up and back down! She shouted.

Hey, it turned out to be just a merchant girl, who should it be, and the noble ladies who watched the excitement were suddenly disappointed, just now I saw her and Mrs. Xiao's personal girl talking and laughing, it turned out to be a merchant girl!

Qin Miaoyan didn't see any shame, but looked at her and smiled slightly.

"Speaking of which, the family's business over the years is still thanks to Miss He's father and uncle, Lord He and He Tong's care."

Miss He obviously lacked a tendon in her brain, and she glared at Qin Miaoyan, "What are you talking about!" ”

"Uncle He Shi's family has a big business, and there are countless industries under his hands," Qin Miaoyan smiled lightly: "Of course, I won't remember a small Qingping merchant." ”

Qingping?

I heard that Mrs. Xiao has been unwell recently, so she invited a rather mysterious female doctor from Qingping, who is the beautiful and gentle girl in front of her?

I'm too young, isn't it?

The hearts of the gossip of the onlookers suddenly burned fiercely, but it was a pity that their identities were either elegant ladies or famous ladies, and they could only tilt their heads slightly, raise their eyebrows slightly, and squeeze their eyes slightly, to ensure that they would not missee this good show.

When Miss He heard Qin Miaoyan's words, she was even more inexplicable, what kind of business her uncle did, and it had something to do with her! Still "taking care of"?

It's good not to take care of her and close the door!
