Chapter 65: The Dinner Party

The carriage of the Ye family stopped in the alley of Jinqing's house, quiet and low-key, when Jinqing walked over, the coachman knocked on the carriage, and the people inside opened the curtain to reveal their faces, it was Mother Li, who took Jinqing to the Guogong Mansion last time, and smiled at Jinqing: "Miss Gu, get in the car"

Jin Qing was a little puzzled in her heart, and glanced down at herself, just the ordinary green cloth dress she wore during the consultation, and said with a smile: "This is not appropriate, I am bothered that Mother Li will wait for me for a while, and I will go to change my clothes." ”

Mother Li laughed, pulled Jin Qing into the carriage, "No need to change, Madame is ready for Miss." ”

Entering the Guogong Mansion, Mother Li led Jinqing into the courtyard of the eldest lady, and a pretty maid was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Jin Qing recognized her, the last time I came to the Guogong Mansion, I saw her, she was the maid next to Zhang's side, called Thrush, fourteen or fifteen years old, and her personality was very cute.

Thrush affectionately grabbed Jin Qing, and Mother Li pulled Jin Qing into a small side room, Jin Qing was inexplicable, but she didn't say anything when she asked these two people, only smiled and asked her to listen to their arrangements obediently.

The thrush put on a new dress for Jinqing, a moon-white embroidered long skirt, an oblique peach blossom embroidered on the apricot-yellow short undergarment, so delicate that the stamens of the plum blossoms are all distinct, and there are a few beaded flowers wrapped around the shape of peach blossoms on the belt.

The material of the clothes is delicate and soft, I am afraid that the price is not low, and Jin Qing wears the shoulders, sleeves and waist are suitable, and it looks like it is specially made for herself.

Jin Qing didn't know what to say, seeing that the two of them were smiling mysteriously, but they didn't say anything, so they had to let the two of them dress themselves in ignorance.

After changing her clothes, Mother Li painted makeup for Jinqing, the thrush dissolved Jinqing's hair, picked up the comb and combed it again, looked at the black hair like a waterfall in front of her, and exclaimed: "Miss Gu's hair is really good, smooth and black, it feels like touching silk."

Jin Qing's face turned red, I am afraid that all she can handle all over her body is this black and smooth hair.

Mother Li smiled and saw Jin Qing's red face, but she was full of emotion in her heart, I only hope that Mrs. This move can make the second room and the old lady completely put their minds at ease, the second young master married such a wealthy woman, where is there still the ambition to compete for the title

After dressing up, the thrush looked at Jin Qing with a smile, clapped her hands and smiled: "The girl is also a beauty, but she doesn't dress up well on weekdays, and she wasted such a good foundation" and took the bronze mirror over to let Jin Qing see.

The smooth and bright bronze mirror has a lot of weight in his hand, and in the soft light of dusk, Jin Qing can only see the people in the mirror, like a dream, and it is not real.

"It's the thrush girl and Mama Li's ingenuity that make me look good." Jin Qing smiled sincerely. The woman in the mirror may be beautiful, but the beauty piled up with gorgeous clothes and makeup does not look like the real her at all.

The thrush smiled, and just about to say something, he received Mama Li's ** look, and the smiling Chao Jinqing blessed a blessing and went down.

Mother Li inserted a hairpin into Jinqing's bun, and said to Jinqing as if chatting: "Miss Gu, I will take you to see a lady in a while, the girl doesn't have to worry, she just needs to listen to the lady's arrangement." ”

Jin Qing suppressed the doubts in her stomach and nodded lightly.

Mother Li led her to Mrs. Li's main house, stood at the door and whispered, and invited Jinqing into the house.

Mrs. Ye Zhang and a middle-aged woman leaned on the beauty couch, laughing and chatting some gossip, the middle-aged woman's plump round face, apricot eyes, eyebrows and eyes are quite charitable, and the dress of the whole body also reveals a wealth and strength, looking up and down at Jinqing.

Seeing Jinqing come in, Zhang and the middle-aged woman sat up straight, and after Li's mother saluted, she withdrew, and Zhang smiled at Jinqing and beckoned, "Good boy, come here." ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at Jin Qing carefully, stepped forward and pulled Jin Qing, let her sit beside her, and said with a smile on her face: "What a handsome and good boy, is it okay to be my goddaughter?" ”

Jin Qing was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how to answer, she didn't understand the rules here, but she hadn't heard that these noble ladies like to recognize their daughters, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, she didn't know whether this lady was joking or serious, she subconsciously looked at Zhang, Zhang's eyes soothed Jinqing, and said with a smile: "Isn't she your goddaughter?"

The middle-aged woman patted Jinqing's hand with a smile and said kindly: "My husband's surname is Wu, I met you in the capital last month, and I saw you at first sight, so I recognized you as my goddaughter. ”

Jin Qing was even more at a loss, she didn't know this kind lady at all, and she didn't understand what the Zhang family said at all.

Seeing Jin Qing's helpless appearance, Zhang smiled faintly, "This kid is straight-brained, he doesn't have so many flowers, why don't you meet my godmother soon."

Seeing that Jin Qing was still in the clouds, Mrs. Wu covered her mouth with one hand and smiled, patted the back of Jin Qing's hand with the other, and asked, "What?" Don't want to marry that kid from the Ye family? He turned his head to Zhang's and teased: "I see that this girl is good, my three sons have not married a daughter-in-law yet, Huiying might as well let this girl be my daughter-in-law."

Zhang pursed his lips and smiled: "That's not good, our family Wei'an fell in love early in the morning, and I, as a mother, can't do something for my son, fulfill his wish?" ”

Jin Qing understood in an instant, blushed completely, took a deep look at the smiling Zhang, knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Wu seriously, and shouted, "Godmother"

Mrs. Wu responded happily, pulled Jin Qing up, took off a bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it to Jin Qing, Jin Qing secretly looked at Zhang's family, and saw Zhang's slight bow, so she thanked her and put it away.

Mrs. Wu pulled Jin Qing to look at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I always said that I was unlucky, and I didn't have a girl to be an intimate padded jacket, but now it's okay, I can be regarded as having a daughter, I heard that she is still a person who understands medical skills, and this time I picked up a treasure."

Zhang's is very happy today, Jinqing's gloomy mood when she saw her last time seemed to be swept away, and she patted Mrs. Wu with a smile, "Look at you, you are still such a hot personality after so many years, you haven't changed at all, don't scare people"

Mrs. Wu seemed to have a good personal relationship with the Zhang family, and squeezed her eyebrows at the Zhang family and said, "Yo ho, this is not an official mother-in-law, but she started to protect her daughter-in-law?" ”

Jin Qing blushed and lowered her head on the side, she knew that her status was low, and if she wanted to get together with Ye Wei'an, the road ahead would be difficult, until just now she was worried that Ye Wei'an's mother would not accept her, but she never expected that the Zhang family would do this step for her, paving the way for her to come, Jin Qing was moved in her heart. Ye Wei'an is really lucky, she has such a good mother, and she is also lucky to meet a reasonable and good elder like Zhang.

After a few gossips between Zhang and Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu went to the front yard first, and Zhang left Jinqing down, took Jinqing's hand, and said gently: "Jinqing, don't blame me for arranging this godmother for you without authorization." ”

Jin Qing shook her head, "No, Madam is kind, Jin Qing knows." ”

Zhang smiled, "I know you're a good boy, and I don't dislike your background. But Wei'an's identity is there, you have this identity that can match his identity, it will always be more convenient in the future. Mrs. Wu has a very good relationship with me, and her husband's family is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and with the identity of the daughter of the Wu family, you can also straighten up in front of your relatives in the future, child, you must understand."

Jin Qing could hear the sincerity in Zhang's tone, looking at the fine lines at the corners of Zhang's eyes and the kind smile, Jin Qing's eyes were a little red, and he saluted Zhang respectfully, "Thank you Madame for your arrangement, Jin Qing let Madame worry about it." ”

Zhang's heart breathed a sigh of relief, originally heard his son say that Jinqing was stubborn and strong, and he was afraid that she would think too much, and then it would be unpleasant, but now it seems that he is too worried, this child is a sensible person.

Zhang smiled and waved his hand, "Don't mention thank you or not, as long as you and Wei'an can live well, it will be in vain for me to pave this road for you." Don't worry too much about this, if you recognize Mrs. Wu as a godmother, you just want to borrow an identity that you can handle, and you can give a New Year's gift every New Year's holiday in the future. ”

Jin Qing nodded heavily, and Zhang said again: "Tonight is a small banquet, and all the ladies invited are familiar with me, so I will take this opportunity to let others know you." But there are still two nobles who will come, you must be careful, when the banquet is opened, Mother Li will lead you to the banquet, don't let people find faults. ”

Jin Qing saw that Zhang's words were solemn, and hurriedly responded, thinking that Zhang's also wanted to use this opportunity to tell others that he intended to marry the Wu family.

Zhang saw Jinqing's nervousness, and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, the two nobles who came are the princess of Jin and the princess of Jin, the grandfather of King Jin and the grandmother of Wei'an are brothers and sisters, and they are also walking among relatives today, the two nobles are very good people to get along with, if you are summoned to question, you can answer truthfully, don't be nervous." ”

Jin Qing thought about it in his heart, now that the emperor is not young, but he has not yet established a prince, there are many rumors in the capital, saying that the emperor intends to observe the final selection of the crown prince, and those princes who want to compete for the throne are all working hard to show themselves.

However, there is no King Jin among these princes who are in the limelight, Jin Qing listens to the royal gossip on the street all day long, but he has hardly heard the name of this prince, combined with the situation in Ye Wei'an's family, I am afraid that my grandfather's family has no power, the status of the mother concubine is not high, and she has no strength to win the heir, so she can only act low-key and try to be stable.

Since they are relatives and have good friends with the Zhang family, they should not embarrass themselves. Jin Qing answered softly, Zhang smiled and patted her on the shoulder, called the thrush at the door, and asked her to take Jin Qing to the front yard to find Mrs. Wu.

Mother Li opened the curtain and entered the house, bowed her head and said to Zhang: "I just went to the second wife's place, I didn't see anyone, and the Qingyan next to the second wife said that she was not feeling well, so she won't come tonight." ”

Zhang is an understanding person, but he can't hear that it is a prevarication, and he waved his hand and said: "If you don't come, you won't come, I didn't want to invite her over, but I just have to ask this question on my face, she has always been arrogant, and she doesn't look down on these people who came today......"

Mother Li whispered: "It's good that Madam wants to open it, now King Qin and King Qi are in the limelight, King Jin is conspicuous in front of the emperor, and the second wife and their family are ......."

Zhang smiled, "Don't say it, I understand, I'm very happy today, so I won't talk about it." ”

Mother Li was sincerely happy to see that Zhang's family, and she was also happy for Zhang's family, so she responded with a smile, "The old slave looks at Miss Gu with a good personality, and Mrs. will soon be able to enjoy the blessings of her daughter-in-law, the second young master has always been smart, and the title of the gold list must be a certainty." ”

Zhang smiled slightly, but his heart was sad and dazed, a few years ago, everyone said that the eldest son was smart and would definitely be able to win the championship, but the eldest son died in vain.

She can't lose her only son anymore, although Ye Cheng is good, but after all, he is not her own, Wei'an is the driving force that supports her to live, if Wei'an has an accident, she is willing to go with her son. As long as Wei An can live safely, she would rather Wei An be a stupid and unnoticeable gentleman

In the flower hall in the front yard, Mrs. Wu was talking to Mother Wang, who came from home, Mother Wang's white and fat figure, with a blessed face, as if she was pinched out of a white dough, accompanied Mrs. Wu with a smiling face, and asked carefully: "How is Madame's goddaughter?" ”

Mrs. Wu held the teacup and blew slowly, and laughed in a low voice: "I look at him is a good-natured, steady, not arrogant, not impatient, and heartless, I heard that she is still a female doctor, better than the three stinky boys in the family." ”

Mother Wang's rich face was full of smiles, "The three young masters are all dragons and phoenixes among people, madam, you dislike the three young masters all day long, in fact, you are secretly happy in your heart."

Mrs. Wu thought of the three sons in the family, and couldn't help sighing, put the teacup on the small table, and said half-distressed and half-sweet: "The eldest and the second are okay, but the third child gives me a headache, he has been cunning since he was a child, like a little fox, no one knows what this bastard thinks about, his eyes are dripping all day long, he looks like a good one, but in fact, he has a bad stomach......

As soon as Mrs. Wu talked about the little son she loved and hated, she gushed endlessly, and when she was about to say more, Mother Wang gently pulled Mrs. Wu's sleeve and said with a smile: "Madam, but Miss is here?" ”

Mrs. Wu immediately took her mouth and looked at Jin Qing who walked slowly with a smile, and Mother Wang also looked at Jin Qing carefully, with clean eyebrows and eyes, and a plain white face, although it is not beautiful, it can make people feel comfortable and likable.

Jin Qing walked up to her, a little hesitant and a little embarrassed to call "godmother", Mrs. Wu smiled and patted her hand, motioning her to stand next to her.

Zhang Yan and Du Xuexiang, who came to greet Mrs. Wu, saw such a scene, Gu Jinqing, who was not looked at by the two at all, was dressed up brilliantly, and stood with Mrs. Wu talking and laughing.

Zhang Yan suddenly became angry, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, pointed at Jinqing, and shouted with horizontal eyebrows: "Why are you here?" Who let you in? ”
