Mama Xue once hinted that she could be Wang Dong's concubine.

Before she met Mama Xue, she also thought about agreeing to the rich man in the western suburbs to be his concubine, because she really couldn't live the kind of life of showing up in the wind and sun outside. But that was before I met Sister Xue Feng.

Now she is not willing to be a concubine and let a slave climb on her head. Unless she is big, Sister Xue Feng is small.

Yesterday, the maid who was waiting in the hall said about the chrysanthemum banquet, and her eyes suddenly lit up. When she was in the market, she had heard the lady who burned incense in the temple and the little maids who went to buy things in front of their small stalls. This year's chrysanthemum viewing banquet was proposed by the Queen Mother and held in Prince Li's courtyard. It is said to be a chrysanthemum banquet, but it is actually a blind date banquet for the sons and sons of famous ladies in Beijing.

At that time, there will be countless royal relatives and nobles, if she can find Ruyi Langjun there, then whose face does she need to see in the future? Sister Xue Feng still has to be submissive to her?

Sister Xue Feng decided to rude Mama Xue to find Sister Xue Feng after this idea, she couldn't refuse her with such a small request, right?

Sanniang was drinking tea on the side, looking at the faces of several people in the room, Xue Ruyu's face was frowning, sometimes happy, sometimes longing, and sometimes the wonderful expression that was bound to be won naturally did not escape her eyes.

Sanniang smiled slightly, it turned out that the mother and daughter of the Xue family came to find the Xue family because of this idea.

However, there are a number of invitations to this chrysanthemum feast. Sanniang and Wuniang's invitations were sent by their uncle and grandmother the day before yesterday. Xue said helplessly.

Xue Ruyu was dissatisfied when she heard this: "Then why didn't I?" It's not that madam, you didn't ask for me. ”

"This ......" Xue didn't know how to answer, and subconsciously looked at Sanniang.

Sanniang saw Xue Shi coming over, and after a moment of silence, she put down the tea bowl that she had been holding as a prop in her hand, and said with a smile: "Aunt may not know something." The invitation to the chrysanthemum banquet was distributed by the Ministry of Rites according to the wives and children of officials above the fifth grade of the imperial court. Only my mother, brother, Wu Niang and I have them in our house, even my cousin they don't. If anyone asks for it, they can ask for it. Presumably mother, she is not reluctant to owe a favor or two for her aunt. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, it's not that I don't help my sister ask for an invitation. It's really something that even the second uncle and aunt can't do. Xue Shi said busily.

Sanniang didn't speak.

In fact, the legal principle is nothing more than human affection, and it is one thing to not have an invitation, and it is another thing to be able to go or not. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

Just like Wang Ji and Wang Zhang. There are no invitations though. But if you go in with the royal family's carriage, no one will stop you without looking at you. Because although this banquet was proposed by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and Queen Mother would not participate, and there were no officers and soldiers to guard it, so as long as there were people with some statuses, they could participate without invitations.

But no one asked, so Sanniang pretended not to know.

Xue Ruyu naturally didn't understand this, so she was stunned when Sanniang said this.

Xue thought that Xue Ruyu had dispelled this idea, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief to start another topic, but Xue Ruyu spoke again: "Then let your two stepdaughters only go to one." The other spot was given to me. ”

Xue Ruyu's arrogant tone made Sanniang's proud self-control almost ruined, and she wanted to laugh.

Xue Shi was even more dumbfounded: "What...... What the? ”

"I said, you can only take one daughter with you. Ask them to give me one of the invitations. Xue Ruyu repeated again.

Although Wu Niang was already planning to go, Xue Ruyu's words were really excessive. This time, even the Xue family was angry: "Cousin." The invitation was sent by the Ministry of Rites, how can it be said that the person will be replaced? If I give you the invitation card of Sanniang or Wuniang, how will I face my master in the future? Cousin, don't say such things, I still have things to deal with, you can go back first. ”

Saying that, Xue picked up the tea bowl and made a gesture of sending off the guest.

"You...... You drive me ......" Xue Ruyu pointed at Xue Shi with an incredulous expression.

Xue Shi was a little hesitant when he heard this, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the trusting gaze that Sanniang threw at her, and Xue Shi straightened his back again: "Sanniang and I have to go out today, and we will talk to the third aunt and sister when we are free in the future." Agarwood, send-off. ”

"Old Madam Xue, Miss Ruyu, please." Agarwood smiled and walked forward and saluted.

Xue Ruyu was a little uncomfortable, and was about to say a few more words with Xue, when the curtain was lifted outside, and Mama Xue walked in.

Feng, who was already a little nervous, didn't even know where to put his hands and feet when he saw Mama Xue, even Xue Ruyu, who was still arrogant just now, immediately wilted when she saw Mama Xue, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Mama Xue stepped forward and saluted the masters, then turned to Feng and Xue Ruyu and said, "Third lady, Miss Ruyu." The old slave will send you back. ”

"I'm tired of my mother." Feng Shi hurriedly said a word with a smiling face, then stepped forward to pull Xue Ruyu and pulled her out.

Although Xue Ruyu was 11,000 unwilling, he could only be pulled out by the Feng family. Mama Xue followed them and also went out of the main room.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking that Sanniang was still there, Xue felt that his behavior just now was a little inappropriate, and he didn't look like an elder, so he was a little embarrassed and looked at Sanniang. But when she saw her lowering her head and sipping tea, she didn't pay attention, so she was relieved.

"I've made you see the joke." Xue thought about it and felt that it was his mother's family who had been rude just now, so he said to Sanniang. Although she has a soft temperament, she is not stupid, Xue Ruyu's behavior just now is out of place, she naturally knows.

Sanniang was surprised and said, "Why does my mother apologize?" My mother and I are both members of the Wang family, what is wrong with outsiders and what does it have to do with you? Besides, my aunt may have suffered a little outside over the years, so her temperament can't be turned around, and the inclusion of our relatives will be over, so we don't have to take it to heart. ”

Xue Shi was stunned when he heard this, yes, she is the Wang family, and so is Sanniang, they are a family. Thinking like this, Xue's heart felt better, and he was also grateful for Sanniang's thoughtfulness.

"It's not too early, let's go out." Xue said with a smile.

"Okay." Sanniang also smiled and agreed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling closer again.

***

Over there, Mama Xue closed the door after sending Feng and Xue Ruyu back to the East Chamber.

Feng Shi looked at Mama Xue's face as black as the bottom of a pot, a little scared, and hurriedly greeted: "Mama, please take a seat, I'll let someone serve tea." ”

"No need, slaves don't drink tea." Mama Xue said lightly, and then stared at Xue Ruyu with a pair of eyes.

Xue Ruyu was a little furious by her, and took a step back, but she felt that she was a little embarrassed to be so scared by a minion. Pretending to be looking for a chair, it was only after I sat down that I felt a little more at ease.

When I looked up, I found that Mama Xue's eyes were still staring at it and not moving.

"Mama, what are you doing watching me all the time?" Xue Ruyu took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"Miss Ruyu just went to find our lady for what she did?" Mama Xue said lightly.

"This ...... It's just a little thing, don't bother Mama. ”

Mama Xue was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruyu went to find an invitation to our wife to appreciate the chrysanthemum banquet?" Have you forgotten what I said? ”

The latter sentence was asked by Mama Xue staring at Feng.

"I didn't forget, I didn't forget, we didn't forget." Feng Shi said busily.

Xue Ruyu bit her lip, and suddenly felt that she was very aggrieved to bow down and be small in front of a minion like this. She has not been a good person since she was a child, and it was Xue Meixin who coaxed her sister in front of Xue Meixin, the eldest lady of the Xue family, so she said with a cold face as soon as her mind was hot: "You are a slave, how can you talk to your master!" ”

Feng Shi's face immediately changed when he heard this, he glanced at Mama Xue carefully, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and slapped Xue Ruyu twice on the shoulder: "Yu'er, how did you talk, don't go and apologize to Mama Xue." ”

Xue Ruyu pinned her face to the side.

Feng Shi was anxious, hurriedly got up and walked to Mama Xue's side, and said carefully: "Mama Xue, she is a child who is not sensible, don't worry about her, I will make amends for her and you." ”

Mama Xue turned around and avoided Feng's salute, and just said, "I know what Miss Ruyu thinks, but it's time for you to wake up from this dream." ”

Mama Xue lowered her eyes and said, "If the old lady is still alive, it is not difficult for Miss Ruyu to find a good family. But now the Xue family has nothing, and Miss Ruyu has no dowry. Who would marry such a family? ”

Feng has been begging for a living in the market all these years, and he also understands human accidents, and knows that Mama Xue is telling the truth, which is worth sighing.

Xue Ruyu was unconvinced: "Then how can Sister Xue Feng marry into the Wang family?" ”

Seeing that she was stubborn and uncertain, Mama Xue said with a cold face: "The second young lady is the blood and blood of the master, so she naturally has royal compassion!" It's just that no matter how great the emperor's grace is, it won't even be the daughter of the old cousin's family. Didn't you have nothing to do when you copied your house and cut your hair! ”

The latter sentence made Xue Ruyu open her mouth and had nothing to say.

Seeing this, Mama Xue also slowed down her voice: "If Miss Ruyu can find a good family and be a serious wife, the old slave will naturally be happy." It's just that nowadays...... The old slave thought about it, and now only it is most suitable for Miss Ruyu to marry into the Wang family. You have also seen that we only have the second lady's wife and an old concubine in our room, so let's not talk about the old concubine, our second lady's temperament is the most soft. Miss Ruyu will not suffer when she enters the door of the Wang family. ”

Seeing that Feng couldn't stop nodding, although Xue Ruyu didn't look here, her ears were not idle, Mama Xue smiled and said, "Besides, now there is only one man like the fifth young master in the third room." (To be continued)
