Chapter 18
As soon as Li Xiuning's words came out, the scene was suddenly silent, not that the identity of the eldest grandson girl was not qualified to participate in their party, but that a lady as young as her, with Li Xiuning's character, actually introduced to everyone so seriously that this was her good friend, not to mention others, it was Li Xiuning's cousin Dou Siniang who couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the voice.
"Yo, it turned out to be the little lady of General Youxiaowei's mansion, if I remember correctly, General Changsun only returned to Kyoto with his family in October last year, with Li Xiuning's temperament, you would actually be so favored by a little lady who has just returned to Chang'an, it's really surprising, but I don't know what is so good about the second lady of Chang'an?." It was Yuwenqi, the fifth girl of Yuwen Mansion, who spoke, her eyes turned, and she walked up to the eldest grandson girl, looking at her with three points of ridicule and seven points of scrutiny.
Yu Wenqi and Li Xiuning are the same age, is the granddaughter of Yu Wenshu, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, the Yuwen family is not under the Li family at all regardless of family background or influence in the court, Yu Wenqi's appearance and talent are also quite outstanding among the girls of the same generation, but since their generation has produced a Li Xiuning, other Kyoto nobles have become foils under her light, in the face of such a situation, Yu Wenqi, who prides himself on being noble and arrogant, will not have any good impression of Li Xiuning.
She doesn't like Li Xiuning, but she has never been able to get any cheap in her hands, and her resentment against Li Xiuning is getting deeper and deeper, as long as the two of them meet together, it is often like the tip of a needle to Mai Mang, it stands to reason that such two people who do not deal with each other, Li Xiuning can hold a tea party, and she can not be invited at all, but the Yuwen family is a top wealthy family in Kyoto, and the Li family does not let much, Li Xiuning does not hold a party on weekdays, it is just that, if she rarely holds a party, but Yu Wenqi is excluded, it is not only Yu Wenqi who is offended.
The social interaction of the children of the gate valve is often inseparable from the interests of the family, although Li Xiuning's personality is relatively unique, but he will never make enemies for his family because of his preferences, for this reason, even if Li Xiuning no longer likes Yu Wenqi, she holds a party, but she has to post Yu Wenqi.
Yu Wenqi is a guest today, and she knows Li Xiuning's methods, she didn't plan to trouble Li Xiuning in the Li Mansion, but she didn't want Li Xiuning to suddenly lead a five or six-year-old girl out, and solemnly introduce this person to everyone as her friend, and the anger in Yu Wenqi's heart swished out.
Hmph, how arrogant you Li Xiuning are on weekdays, there are so many noble girls in Kyoto, you can't find two who can be regarded as friends by you, and now you suddenly point to such a small lady and tell everyone that this person is your friend, isn't this a blatant slap in the face of these people? I can't help you Li Xiuning, can't I help the five or six-year-old little milk baby in front of me? If you want to lift her, I want to step on her hard, and when this little girl is so frightened that she is overwhelmed with tears, I will see where your face goes.
Don't talk about Yu Wenqi's thoughts, but say that Li Xiuning saw that Yu Wenqi was such a big person, and pointed the finger at a six-year-old girl for no reason, his heart was quite annoyed, his face sank, and he was about to speak, but he saw that the eldest grandson girl who was holding her hand withdrew her palm, she first bowed to the noble girls in a regular manner, and then said without humility or arrogance: "The eldest grandson has seen your sisters, I am still young, and I have not long returned to Kyoto, there is really nothing special about it, I can get acquainted with Sister Xiuning, it is pure fate, The first time I met my sisters, if there is any rudeness, I hope that my sisters will bear with me. ”
The eldest grandson girl is six years old, and the youngest of the nobles present are four years older than her, and a six-year-old girl suddenly appears on such a strange occasion, in the face of difficulties, not only does she not have any stage fright, but she can fight back without being humble or arrogant, her counterattack is soft and decent, and it will not give people the embarrassment and embarrassment of not being able to get off the stage, this kind of means of doing things has to be surprising.
For this reason, after her words fell, the scene was quiet again, and the eyes of the girls looking at her had changed from curiosity to inquiry, Yu Wenqi, who had made up her mind to make things difficult for her, was choked and breathed slightly, and the next words were unable to spit out for a while, just when her expression was unpredictable, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl walked towards Miss Sun with a crisp smile: "Sister Eldest Sun, you are so smart and lovely at a young age, no wonder Sister Xiuning and you are familiar at first sight, when I see you, I also like it tightly, I can't wait to go home and be my sister, my surname is Han, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Han. ”
This girl's surname is Han, is the eldest granddaughter of Han Shengshou of Xincai County, Han Auntie, the Han family girl is eleven years old, as the daughter of Jiangmen, she has a straightforward and enthusiastic personality, skilled in bow horses, and is one of Li Xiuning's few friends, she first saw Li Xiu so grandly introduced the eldest grandson girl, and she was also a little surprised, but when Yu Wenqi came out to find fault, she already wanted to stand up to save the scene, but she didn't expect that she didn't have time to stand up in a hurry This little girl gave herself a big surprise.
Whether it is based on her friendship with Li Xiuning, or the good impression left by the little girl in front of her, she will not watch Yu Wenqi continue to find trouble with the eldest grandson, today Li Xiuning is the host, it is inconvenient to compete with Yu Wenqi, but she has no scruples.
Yu Wenqi, who was about to be unable to advance or retreat by the eldest grandson girl's words, saw Aunt Han stand up, so she could only stare at the eldest grandson girl coldly, and retreated silently, Kyoto noblewomen can be arrogant and arrogant, but they can't have the basic ability to judge the situation, in the current situation, if Yu Wenqi continues to make trouble, she will be the one who is embarrassed.
"Sister Han is overrated......" The eldest grandson girl was praised by the aunt of the Han family, and her pink and handsome little face couldn't help blushing slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to speak.
"Haha, where is the reputation, everything I say comes from the heart......" Miss Han laughed out loud by her cute appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch the beautiful little face of the eldest grandson girl while laughing, and the mood was extremely happy.
Li Xiuning looked at her best friend and the eldest grandson girl, the corners of her lips unconsciously rose, looking at the eldest grandson girl's eyes more and more satisfied, she was worried at first that the eldest grandson girl was too young, and she would suddenly feel shy and uneasy when she entered this kind of occasion with her, she was ready to take her with her wherever she went, but she didn't expect this girl's performance to be beyond her expectations......
After this party, the time came to February in a blink of an eye, on the sixth day of the second month, Emperor Yang of Sui officially left Beijing, Changsun Sheng escorted with the army, after Changsun Sheng left, Changsun Anye and his wife would run to find Gao's trouble from time to time, but Gao is a smart person, and he has a degree of advance and retreat, and the person who is really in charge of life and death in the house is Changsun Sheng, as long as Changsun Sheng is alive, Changsun Anye and his wife dare not go too far, for a while, Gao's mother and son naturally can't suffer any losses.
Life in the house is stable, the eldest grandson girl every day in addition to practicing martial arts, occasionally go to the new friends at home to run the door, the days are very regular, a few months of time slipped through the fingers, at the end of May, with Emperor Yang traveled with the eldest grandson Sheng returned to Beijing, he came back to tell the family a news, His Majesty did not return to Chang'an, his emperor stayed in Luoyang, if there is no accident, the second half of this year will probably move the capital.
Although the emperor did not officially announce this matter, most of the ministers in the court knew the emperor's intentions, and many ministers were explaining the matter to their families, and the Tang State Mansion intended to marry the eldest grandson mansion at the beginning of the year, but at that time, the first month had just passed, and the eldest grandson Sheng and Li Yuan were traveling together, and the matter could only be put aside for the time being.
A week after Changsun Sheng returned to the General's Mansion, the Dou family of the Tang State Mansion and the Yang family, the wife of the eldest grandson, went to the door together, the Li family was one of the most wealthy families in the dynasty, and the Li family Erlang was a rare excellent Xiaolangjun, and the eldest Sun Sheng and his wife had no reason to disagree, this family affair can be described as a hit, in the middle of the sixth month, the Li family and the eldest grandson family officially married a family affair.
