Chapter Seventy-Five: Going to the Feast
"It's a blessing that they are all born with good looks."
Yu Shi looked at a few girls, and then looked at Xiao Zhiqiu and Fan Caiqing twice, after all, those with outstanding looks are always easier to notice, and after politely finishing this sentence with Wu, Yu ordered his subordinates to give the girls a meeting gift.
Wu was flattered, and seeing that Xiao Zhihe was really calm today, he also smiled a lot.
And Xiao Zhiqiu and the others accepted the meeting gift, which was to thank Yu's blessing again, and then the Wu family was also arranged to sit in a seat, and the young girls were led to the garden by the maid ring of the Taifu Mansion, where there were already many girls enjoying the flowers and talking.
Seeing the girls from the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion coming, the lively sound in the garden stopped for a while, and they looked at these new girls curiously, which couldn't help but make some girls who had not yet received the news in the deep boudoir a little surprised, so they asked in a low voice.
Whispers and discussions suddenly sounded in the garden, which made Xiao Zhiqiu and the three sisters of the Fan family hesitate.
But Xiao Zhihe and Xiao Zhiran's concubines almost wanted to cover their mouths and snicker, if they didn't want to leave a good impression of everyone's beauty, calm and elegant in front of everyone, they would definitely laugh and ridicule Xiao Zhiqiu mercilessly at this time.
Although Xiao Zhihe didn't dare to show a mockery on his face, it was still okay to say a few words harshly in Xiao Zhiqiu's ear, anyway, others didn't know what they were talking about, maybe they would think she was comforting Xiao Zhiqiu.
"Second sister, guess what they're talking about?" She gloated and looked ahead, smiling brightly.
Xiao Zhiqiu saw everyone's expressions, and Xiao Zhihe's reminder the day before yesterday, where did he not know what they were talking about, and he wanted to ignore it, but at this time, seeing that Xiao Zhihe wanted to use this to ridicule and mock her, he sighed angrily: "What do you want to say?" If you have something to say, just say it. β
Xiao Zhihe was almost choked by her lukewarm attitude, if she didn't want to focus on the overall situation, she would have made trouble at this time, but she endured it, and provoked a little proudly: "Do you guess if I speak for you for a while, will anyone think it's more like a lie?" Are you grateful to me, or are you not grateful to me? β
Xiao Zhiqiu twisted his eyebrows and looked sideways at her when he heard this: "When did you become so smart?" Haven't you always looked at me unpleasantly, and everyone before and after you wants to step on me? Why are you so kind today? β
Xiao Zhihe became happy again when he heard this, looking at Xiao Zhiqiu, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be flying, but with a bad smile: "If it weren't for the good reputation of loving and caring for my sister-in-law and uniting and loving in front of people, do you think I would be so kind to speak for you?" But don't worry, I have a good reputation, but your reputation is still bad! You think it's something that benefits both you and me, but the more I cover it up for you, the more serious it becomes. She tilted her head slightly, and the smug look in her eyes did not relent.
I thought that if she could provoke this Xiao Zhiqiu into anger, then she would lose her demeanor in front of everyone again, and that would add fuel to the fire!
However, she still looked down on Xiao Zhiqiu's ability to endure.
"Then thank you for the third sister first," Xiao Zhiqiu smiled, and was laughed at by her: "I'm happy for you to say a good word for me, no matter what your purpose is, the impact on me is better than your yelling, I still want to be quiet, as for what good reputation you want to get, I advise you not to be too naΓ―ve, you can pretend for a while, but you can't pretend for a lifetime, and if your relatives really rely on this, do you think they will be deceived by you for a long time?" Don't regret it. β
Xiao Zhihe couldn't help but hear this, and immediately stared at her, so angry that his chest went up and down, "You don't pretend to be kind here!" I don't have to pretend, my relatives will definitely be better than you! You're still worried about yourself! β
Xiao Zhiqiu pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Xiao Zhihe, "Aren't you pretending?" Be careful to show your true face, and when the time comes, people will see that you want to pretend to be indecent! She laughed at her.
When Xiao Zhihe heard this, he was even more angry and wanted to stomp his feet, but he couldn't do it, seeing that those girls were paying attention to their movements, she couldn't be counted by Xiao Zhiqiu! only glared at her again, and said in a low voice: "You will look good in a while!" β
Xiao Zhiqiu ignored it and looked away from it, looking at the chrysanthemums in full bloom in the garden, and he was in a good mood.
And Fan Caiqing listened to them, but also shook his head and smiled, Fan Caiqing and Fan Caiqian held hands, and they were attracted by the girls of the Kyoto family who were dressed up in colorful colors in the garden like a bunch of flowers and butterflies.
Fan Caiqing and Fan Caiqian were both a little excited, they looked at them, and they also spared no effort to look at their dress and demeanor, and then talked to each other about which one looked more outstanding.
Those girls originally wanted to see what Xiao Zhiqiu, who was divorced and heard that he was taken away, looked like, and now what kind of emaciated and sad he looked, but he didn't expect to be angry by Fan Caiqing and Fan Caiqian, two girls who didn't know the number of etiquette, they could talk about them by virtue of their status as a noble family, but how did they dare to look at them without blinking an eye?
Outrageous! Some of the girls could not help but want to reprimand, but as soon as they stood up, their expressions changed suddenly, as if they had become restrained, and they all lowered their eyebrows so that they did not dare to say a word, and not only them, but the whole garden stopped talking, and seemed to fall silent all at once.
Xiao Zhiqiu and the three sisters of the Fan family couldn't help but look curiously into the corridor behind them.
But I saw that under the warm embrace of a group of maids and servants, Qi Jiyue and Liu Luoyin walked over accompanied by two richly dressed girls.
One of the noble girls was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in pink clothes and looked like a flower and moon, although she was slightly inferior to the first beauty in Kyoto in Qi Jiyue, but she was still a first-class beauty, her skin was snow-white, brilliant and dazzling, which was amazing, and the other was obviously older, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a red dress, although her appearance was not as eye-catching as the pink woman at first sight, but she was heroic, her eyebrows and eyes were flying, and she was a little uninhibited but extremely confident, so that people were attracted by her temperament at the first glance.
"Yo," the woman in red looked at the girls in the garden and didn't even dare to speak, she just laughed, and sneered a little funny: "I'm not a fierce god, don't stand there motionless like a wooden carving every time you see me, okay?" Do you want me to come, or don't you want me to come, if you don't want me to come, you say! β
The girls in the garden all had strange faces, and they wanted to open their mouths to explain, but they didn't dare to speak out in front of everyone, but they all blushed, and Xiao Zhiqiu looked at the girl in red, this flamboyant look was really unique enough among a bunch of well-behaved and elegantly dressed girls.
