Chapter Seventy-Six: Tang Jinxi
Xiao Zhiqiu retracted her eyes, but inadvertently saw a very delicately made flute pinned to her waist, and couldn't help frowning.
And the girl in red also began to look at the girls at the bottom of the steps, and looked at them casually, "New here?" Don't know who I am? ”
Her words were fluttering, but they seemed to be very weighty, so that the girls in the garden couldn't help but tremble, and then saluted in unison, "Say hello to the county lord of Jinxi and the county lord of Ziqi." ”
The lord of Jinxi? The lord of the county?
Xiao Zhiqiu was a little surprised, glanced at the girl in red, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and retreated to the side with the three sisters of the Fan family to salute, but he was thinking about the rumors about the county lord of Jinxi in this capital. And Xiao Zhihe and Xiao Zhiran's concubines were even more panicked, standing opposite Xiao Zhiqiu at a very fast speed, and they all saluted with their eyebrows down, not even daring to say a word.
The atmosphere was chilling and surprisingly eerie.
Tang Jinxi raised his face and glanced at the audience, and when he saw that everyone looked afraid to make a sound, he immediately snorted lightly, and he didn't know whether he was disdainful or self-deprecating.
That Tang Ziqian looked at everyone like this again, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Tang Jin with a funny and angry feeling: "Okay, you, why do you always want to scare people into being afraid of you?" Come to a banquet well, you have to make the atmosphere so tense. This was soft and a little happy.
Xiao Zhiqiu couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at the county lord, only to see that she was smiling, innocent and sloppy, and the nervous expressions of everyone in the garden were very different, that is, he knew that the county lord of Ziqi must have a good relationship with the county lord of Jinxi, so he would joke with this county lord of Jinxi, who had a somewhat arrogant reputation.
Tang Jinxi raised his feet and walked down the steps, while casually glancing at the few new faces who had come to Taifu's Mansion with their brows lowered, and asked Qi Jiyue with a smile: "Which upstart family is this?" How do you know you're afraid of me? My reputation is so bad? ”
Qi Jiyue smiled softly, and glanced at her gently when she passed by Xiao Zhiqiu's side, but in the face of Tang Jinxi, who everyone felt scruples, she was not restrained at all, but smiled softly: "This is the girl from the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion." You are the county lord of King Ning's Mansion, where are people afraid of you, but your identity is too noble, which scares people. ”
This is just a joke about making a big thing into a small one, the corners of Tang Jinxi's lips twitched slightly, would she not know about her reputation spread throughout the world? Without arguing with her, he passed by everyone in a grand manner, and walked to the gazebo in the garden to sit and admire the flowers.
After they sat down, the girls began to walk around and whisper, Tang Jinxi listened intently, but it was a boring topic.
I was about to pick up a pastry carefully prepared by the Taifu Mansion to eat, but I accidentally saw the girls under the steps, thinking about Qi Jiyue's words just now, she frowned slightly, looked at Qi Jiyue with a strange smile and said, "You just said that it was the girl from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion?" That's not Liu Yi...... That's it? How did you come up with the idea of inviting them? There was a great contempt between the words.
Don't look at the people who can enter and leave the Taifu Mansion, the family is all powerful and powerful, even if you are a marquis with a title, if you lose power in the court, you are out of breath, who still cares about your title? What's more, Qi Jiyue's thoughts about Liu Yi, she didn't know, this wasn't ...... Isn't it fun to look for yourself?
Qi Jiyue glanced at Xiao Zhiqiu, she knew Tang Jinxi's temperament, there was nothing in this world that she wanted to get and couldn't get, if she couldn't get it, then others wouldn't think about it, she was laughing at her and asking Xiao Zhiqiu to come over so generously, in order to avoid causing trouble for Xiao Zhiqiu, she avoided her questioning, but asked rhetorically: "What have you been doing lately, I haven't seen you come to the banquet for a long time, and I can't find you." ”
Tang Ziqian laughed when he heard this, and laughed in a teasing voice with Tang Jinxi: "I know what she is doing, it's not for Ling Gongzi, she heard that people are going to Tongzhou, she rushed there, but Ling Gongzi has already returned to Beijing, she stayed there, and only came back two days ago." ”
Tang Jinxi listened, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, she put her hand on the railing, and casually played with the precious chrysanthemums placed on the side, as if she didn't care about the teasing words, but her stubborn and slightly frosty look just showed that she cared very much.
Qi Jiyue smiled on her lips, Ling Shu ...... She looked at Tang Jinxi, her eyes were a little more complicated.
Miss Zhou's matter has only been half a year, if it weren't for Tang Jinxi's means, Miss Zhou would not have been able to marry far away and return to Beijing, Ling Shu had already hated her in her heart, but she didn't care about it, like a nobody.
Both sides have good friendships, and Tang Jinxi can't be offended, she sighed in her heart, smiled and beckoned a girl to come over, "Look at the mother in the water pavilion, did they go to watch the play?" Have you all the guests in front of you? ”
Yahuan took the order and left.
Tang Ziqian looked at the girl, observed Qi Jiyue's expression, and quipped: "I know, you must be worried about whether Liu Shizi is coming, but his temperament, even if he doesn't come to the banquet, it is normal, besides, with your eldest brother and second brother here, are you still afraid that they will not entertain well?" He looked at the girls of the Xiao family again, "Speaking of which, which one is the one who is married to Liu Shizi?" ”
Qi Jiyue smiled and glanced at Xiao Zhiqiu, who was enjoying the flowers in the garden, with a gentle, elegant and gentle expression, "That's it, I want to invite her over to the house and get to know more girls and ladies in the family." ”
Her words stopped at the point, but Tang Ziqian immediately understood, and looked at Qi Jiyue funny and angry: "You, you are good-hearted, you are not jealous, and you still want to do a good family affair for others." ”
Talking and laughing like this, Yahuan, who was sent by Qi Jiyue to see the situation just now, also came back, and Yu's also sent her mother-in-law Yahuan to invite everyone to watch the play in the Water Pavilion.
Everyone was a little excited, because on the opposite side of the water pavilion were the children of various families, but they all stood there and did not move, until Qi Jiyue and Tang Jinxi and Tang Ziqian walked in front first, and then people walked towards the water pavilion one after another.
Liu Luoyin, together with several girls from the Song State Mansion, greeted Xiao Zhiqiu with a smile when she saw them, and introduced their identities to several girls in the Song State Mansion.
The girl in the Song Guogong Mansion was also polite, but she just glanced at Xiao Zhiqiu curiously, but she didn't say anything impolite.
As most of the people left first, Xiao Zhiqiu and the three sisters of the Fan family also followed, but they heard that there were a few girls who were gossiping about good things behind them and were catching up with Xiao Zhihe.
"Sister Zhihe, what is the situation about Xiao Zhiqiu's abduction?" The voice was not loud or small, just enough for Xiao Zhiqiu and a few people to hear.
