Chapter 312: Cousins
Sitting at the same table with Mei Hanfang were the five young ladies brought by Zhou Yan, the wife of Xiuwu Hou, because of the difference in identity, the group of young ladies of the Yu family would rather everyone squeeze together, and no one wanted to sit with them.
Qin Huiniang's sisters didn't care about this, but they were stopped by Li Jingyi with their eyes, after all, Miss Jin and Miss Han came to choose a palace concubine, if Qin Huiniang and the others kept getting together with these five, they would be misunderstood.
In this way, Zhao Xin and Zhao Huan brought by the Ling family had to sit with these people, although the Ling family preferred their daughter to sit at the same table with the daughters of the Mei Shilang family in Yuge's hometown, but the people didn't look at them at all, although they were not happy in their hearts, they didn't dare to spoil the atmosphere of the banquet, and motioned for their daughter to go over and sit.
Zhou Yan's selection of people for Queen Yun is not particularly confidential, Mei Hanfang has already gotten news from her mother's family, she looked at the shy and pretty little girls sitting on both sides of her, and her heart is not sour, it is fake, compared to these women who entered the palace to compete with themselves, Mrs. Du of Qingguo, is not so annoying.
"I listened to Miss Han stroke the piano just now, but I didn't expect you to be a master," Mei Hanfang smiled slightly, "It's admirable." β
was praised by Mei Zhaoyi in public, Miss Han was also shy, and hung her head and said, "Niangniang has won the award, and she has a small skill, so that Niangniang will laugh,"
"Sister Han is too modest, where can this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting be a small skill? When my sister said this, how can we women who can't even learn 'small skills' live, "Miss Han is in the limelight in the palace this time, who comes with her doesn't taboo her in his heart?" Miss Gu, who came with her, was quick to talk and went back sarcastically.
Mei Hanfang looked at Miss Gu who was sitting opposite her, although she didn't know which lady this was, but her performance made Mei Hanfang very satisfied, but she just glanced at Miss Gu, turned her head and smiled more kindly at Miss Han, "This palace remembers that your name is Yan Ting?" Which one is it from? β
Han Yanting hurriedly got up, "Back to my mother's words, my father is in charge of the Treasure Money Division of the Ministry of Households,"
Household treasure banknote division? The grade is not high, but it is definitely a fat shortage, Mei Hanfang smiled more and more kindly, took her hand and sat down, "Then we should have met, alas, it's a pity, I didn't recognize you before, let me tell you,"
Mei Hanfang even called "this palace", looking like she wanted to be a good sister to Han Yanting, she lowered her voice, "In our palace, in addition to the queen's mother, the concubine Ming's piano skills are the best, and even His Majesty often summons her over to play the piano, I see you, you are not worse than the concubine Ming." β
As soon as Mei Hanfang's words came out, Han Yanting's sweat came down, although it was a good thing to know that the emperor loved the qin, but Mei Zhaoyi directly said that her piano skills were no worse than Cheng Ming's concubine, didn't this invite disaster for her? "Niangniang is too awarded, where can the courtiers compare to the Ming concubine Niangniang, compared with the Niangniang and the Ming concubine Niangniang, the courtiers are fish and rubble, not worth taking care of."
"Okay, okay, if you don't believe in the words of this palace, forget it, you didn't come out to perform when the emperor was there just now, otherwise you will believe the words of this palace," Mei Hanfang looked like a big sister and a little sister didn't compete with her little sister, and patted Han Yanting's hand, "Come, let's try the new dishes made by the imperial kitchen, speaking of which, this palace is also thanks to you!" β
She watched with satisfaction as Miss Gu floated towards Han Yanting, believing that there was no need to wait for her to enter the palace, and someone would be unable to hold their breath and make a move towards Han Yanting.
Qin Huiniang's two sisters are not having a good time at Cheng Feiqiong's table, and all the "clear-eyed people" have decided in their hearts that the future Mrs. Yunhou will be Qin Huiniang, so whether it is the two young ladies of the Yu family or Miss Mei Jialejia, the eyes of Qin Huiniang are not very friendly, and even her low-key and humble attitude is also in a coy posture in the eyes of these people.
Le Shan and Yu Qi Yu Ba are cousins, Le Shan's mother was born to Yu Ge Laoyuan's wife, and Yu Qi Yu Ba's father was born to Yu Ge Lao's second wife.
A young lady of the Guozi Priest Restaurant, two are the girls of the Shoufu family, one of the grandfathers in the family is the leader of Shilin, and the other is the head of the hundred officials, they have always squinted at people, and no one can overpower them, now it's okay, a Qin Huiniang, just sit behind Li Jingyi, and steal everyone's limelight, so how can they not be angry?
Yu Ba put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Qin Huiniang with a concerned expression, "Sister Huiniang, I don't know how your second sister is doing now?" I remember when she was a child, she came to our house, alas, I didn't expect that she met someone unladylike, and almost killed someone. β
"Yes, when I heard my mother talk about it, I was really shocked, there are still such people in the world, alas, our daughters' families, really all the lives of our fathers and brothers, otherwise, even if they are divorced, what is the difference between them and the dead?" Le Shan followed in time, but she didn't tear up a handful of sympathy for Qin Qianniang.
This is talking about her sister and leaving, Qin Huiniang smiled faintly, since the Qin family dared to take back their daughter, they were ready to be discussed by the world, "What Miss Le said is reasonable, follow her husband at home, marry her husband, fortunately, my uncle and third uncle are people who value flesh and blood affection more than reputation, the daughter of our Qin family, no matter what happens in the future, the Qin family will be a big tree behind them, and they will never give up." β
This is really to the heart of every girl, compared to those who use their daughters to marry and climb the wealth, it is easier for anyone to grow up in the Qin family, a family that regards their daughters as treasures, but Miss Lejia is unwilling to admit defeat, and sneered, "But Sister Ling is divorced after all, and the Wang family has also ended up in a mismatch, if Lord Qin inquired clearly and found a more reliable family affair for Sister Ling, wouldn't Sister Ling not have to bear the pain of separation?" I heard that she still has the daughter of the Wang family? β
Although Qin Rongniang was young, she had already heard that Le Shan was deliberately targeting their Qin family, and said crisply, "Who said it wasn't?" As long as my third uncle remembered this, he deeply regretted that he was too hasty at the beginning, thinking that Wenqing was a scholar who was simply pulled out of the music sacrifice wine, and his character must be extremely reliable, but he didn't expect it, alas, ......"
At that time, Qin Weiding and Wang Wenqing's Kele Sacrificial Wine were the chief examiners, but Wang Wenqing's ranking was much higher than Qin Weiding's, so he was included in the door wall by the Lecito Wine and regarded him as his own student, plus Wang Wenqing was very good at climbing in order to be astute, and he often came and went with Lejia, unlike Qin Weiding, who was pedantic and pedantic, and was not liked by these bigwigs.
"Sister Rong Niang is really a good little mouth," Yu Qi chuckled, rounding out Le Shan, who was already pale, "The students under the Le Sacrifice Wine Sect, if not a thousand, but also eight hundred, where can they carefully examine their character?" β
Qin Huiniang nodded, "What Miss Yu Qi said is, otherwise, how can people say that half of the court and Thailand are out of the wine festival?" β
"My sister is wrong, people are clearly saying that the DPRK and China and Thailand are half out of Yu Shoufu's subordinates," Qin Rongniang's eyes widened, and she corrected Qin Huiniang seriously.
Cheng Feiqiong looked at the Yu family sisters and Le Shan, who listened to the words of the Qin sisters, and almost didn't laugh out loud, this Jinshi is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers are also all royal ministers, when did they become the private individuals of their Yu Le family? If this word spreads, not only the emperor will be heartfelt, but the imperial historians will also be impeached.
Le Shan didn't hear anything wrong with this at all, and she often heard her grandfather's students say that her grandfather had a pair of sharp eyes to wipe out all the Xiushi in the world, but she generously didn't want to argue with Yu Qiyu about whose grandfather was really powerful, "Speaking of which, Qin Wei Ding Qin was also elected by my grandfather!" β
Open your mouth to call someone's uncle's name? And Qin Weiding is still the minister of the DPRK and China? Qin Huiniang's face turned cold, "Our Qin family is now a five-jin scholar, but whether it is the eldest uncle or the third uncle, as well as my father and brother, they are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven. β
"That's too," Qin Weiding, who was chosen by his grandfather, Le Shan wanted to fight again, so he heard someone on the next table say quietly, "Why do I hear someone call the name of the third uncle?" But what did my uncle do wrong? β
No matter how high Le Shan's grandfather is, it is also her grandfather, Le Shan herself is just an ordinary boudoir woman, and it is too much to call the name of the fourth rank official of the imperial court in front of the public, if Li Jingyi doesn't teach a lesson, then everyone should laugh at them There is no one in the Qin family.
Le Shan realized that in this palace, there were not only the Qin sisters, but also the eldest lady of Qin, the eldest princess of Jinyang was Qin Weiding's cousin, and the county lord Ruihe was his niece, she was ashamed and afraid, and tears suddenly fell, "No, yes, the courtier, the courtier has no intention for a while,"
Li Jingyi nodded, "You can inadvertently call the name of the court official loudly, and the music sacrifice wine teaching is excellent, and you can understand it." β
After saying that, she smiled at Le Shan's mother on the other side, and then stopped talking.
Speaking of which, how could Le Shan's mother have the face to sit down again, and directly came out and knelt in front of the eldest princess of Jinyang, "The concubine and the daughter are inappropriate, and I ask the queen and His Royal Highness to punish her." β
Lejia came out of a country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and was regarded as the leader of Shilin, it is indeed too much of the scenery, Queen Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "Mrs. Yu, get up, it is not only the Tai half courtier who comes from the door of your Le family and the Yu family, it is the emperor who has also taught the sacrificial wine, and he must be called Mr. Lesacrificial wine,"
Empress Yun's words made Mrs. Yu not know what to do, Emperor Zhao Yu of Longwu was not taken seriously when he was the prince, and the prince who followed Zeng Housheng was in the study, and he was just a companion-like existence, and the music sacrifice wine was neither a master nor a master, but he taught a science of etiquette, and the daughter of the Lejia was so rude, which was also too slap in the face, "The concubine will punish the little girl to learn the rules again when she goes back,"
Mrs. Yu lowered her body and didn't dare to raise her head, she knew in her heart that her daughter's life was over.
