Chapter 41: The Birthday of the County Lord
Princess Heshun loved her daughter and moved back to the Chengguo Mansion in advance, and deliberately vacated the mansion to the main banquet guests of Qinglong County.
Wei Li, the lord of Qinglong County, is notoriously casual, and in addition to the daughters of the nobles of the clan who are related to the deceased, the guests invited are only girls of the same age who are recognized by her as friends.
In front of acquaintances, she rarely put the county lord on the shelf, and personally and her two cousins in front of the mansion.
When he saw the Bai family's carriage approaching, he eagerly greeted him.
The brocade curtain was half lifted, but the first thing to come out was a white brocade bead in a pink skirt.
The county lord of Qinglong's face stiffened slightly, and said in undisguised surprise: "Why is Miss Bai San, your patriarch?" ”
Bai Jinzhu was about to get out of the car, and his face turned red when he heard the words.
Hearing the inquiry, Bai Jinghao leaned out from the side, and opened her lips politely and apprehensively: "I have seen the county lord, I came with my third sister, I hope the county lord will not mind." ”
If it weren't for Aunt Yu begging her father to come forward and bring Bai Jinzhu herself, she wouldn't want to do this.
The county lord of Qinglong smiled brightly and said in a brisk tone: "Of course I don't mind, Sister Jinghao, come down quickly, and I will lead you into the garden." ”
She not only spoke closely, but also extended her hand to the other party.
Bai Jing felt strange, but she didn't twist it, she shook her hands, and she walked over Bai Jinzhu and got out of the carriage.
Bai Jinzhu followed behind in a sneer, grabbed the handkerchief in his hand and bit his lip.
When passing by the Zhumen of the mansion, the county lord of Qinglong introduced: "Big sister, second sister, this is the Jinghao sister of the Bai Shangshu Mansion. ”
The eldest lady of the Wei family, Wei Yi, and the second young lady Wei Yi looked at each other, and they couldn't quite understand why their noble cousin wanted to make this introduction.
When they were puzzled, Bai Jinghao had already bent down and saluted: "I've seen Miss Wei and Second Miss." ”
Wei Yan was the elder, and he was the first to come back to his senses, and stepped forward to pull her and smiled: "Sister Jinghao doesn't need to be polite, she is not only the sister of the third sister, but also our own sister." ”
"Yes, the sister of the Bai family was born so standardly, where did the third sister find such a sister? Not only does she look more like your sister-in-law than me and my eldest sister, but she also shares her clothes and jewelry with her third sister. Wei Yi was straightforward, and his eyes went back and forth between Bai Jinghao and Wei Li.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled by the guard next to her.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
It's also unfortunate that before going out, Bai Jinghao guessed that the county lord of Qinglong was a person who liked palace satin clothes, and the palace clothes were beautiful, and it was better to be simple and elegant when he came to the door as a guest. Therefore, she chose a moon-white Su embroidered brocade skirt and put on the begonia that Wei Li gave her last time, just to steal the limelight at the county lord's birthday banquet.
Who knows, Wei Li, who is standing next to her now, is also wearing a moon-white simple palace skirt, and the corners of the skirt are embroidered with begonia flowers, which correspond to the begonia steps between her sideburns.
The makeup of the two is so similar, isn't it a collision?
Bai Jinghao was a little apprehensive when she got out of the car, but she was a little relieved when she saw that the other party didn't mind, but she didn't expect Wei Yi to point it out directly.
"The tone of the second sister's words is wrong, my step shake and Sister Jinghao's are a batch of crafts, both of which are the craftsmanship of Liu Shanggong in the palace. With hairpin clothes, this shows that I have the same taste as Sister Jinghao, which shows that the relationship is good. ”
Hearing this, Wei Yi's expression drooped.
The county lord of Qinglong took Bai Jinghao's hand again, and only said to Wei Yan: "Big sister, greet Miss Bai San for me, and I will go in first with Sister Jinghao." ”
Wei Yan replied with a light smile: "Third sister, don't worry, your second sister and I will not neglect the guests." ”
Bai Jinzhu called Bai Jinghao in a slight panic, and stopped talking again.
Since she came to the princess's mansion, she naturally listened to the arrangement of the master's family, and Bai Jing asked her to follow Miss Wei.
Wei Yi waited for them to step into the mansion and walked away before saying, "Eldest sister, what is the origin of that woman, why does she look so similar to our third sister?" ”
"It's just a few points, it's just the illusion that the clothes and hairpins are similar."
Wei Yan glanced at her and signaled that there was a young lady from the Bai family next to her sister.
Wei Yi stopped his curiosity.
Bai Jinghao was led by the county lord of Qinglong to walk in the princess's mansion with carved beams and paintings, and had no intention of admiring the dense flowers in the garden, only annoyed that today's makeup was inappropriate, lest he offend the person next to him.
It's not terrible to hit the shirt, but the terrible thing is that she wears the same color dress as her, but she is much more refined and brighter than her, which girl can be happy to see this scene?
Bai Jinghao hesitated and opened her lips: "County lord, I don't know where there is a wing room in the house?" ”
"There are a lot of guest rooms, is Sister Jinghao going to change her clothes?"
The county lord of Qinglong said bluntly: "If my sister wants convenience, I will let the maid lead you over; But if it's just because you and I bump into my clothes, my sister wants to change sides, it's not necessary. ”
Bai Jing looked at the past puzzled.
"If someone else wears you, I might have to mind. But now it's you, sister, so there's nothing to be angry about. ”
Bai Jinghao's face was even more confused.
But just one side, why does she value herself so much?
"I invited you to come, not for anything else, just because I want to be friends with my sister. In this way, you will be more tolerant than others, and even happy for you and me in such attire, after all, it seems closer in the eyes of others. ”
Rao is hearing her say this, Bai Jinghao still felt that there was a secret in him, and only took over the words from the good: "It's good that the county lord doesn't blame me." ”
The county lord of Qinglong smiled, "Sister Jinghao, don't be so polite to me, just call me by my name." ”
Bai Jinghao looked at the other party quietly, and said scruples: "So, it's not appropriate, right?" ”
"What's wrong, I don't like to follow those rules. Last time I saw you for the first time, and it was at your house, it was inconvenient for me to say these words, but today in the princess's mansion, I will speak freely, do you see that I don't call you my sister, don't you want me to be your sister? She pretended to be sad.
Bai Jinghao changed her name at this time: "Sister Qinglong." ”
The county lord of Qinglong was very happy, pulled her and continued to walk, and said as he walked: "You can't be restrained, my mother went back to the Guogong Mansion just to let everyone play as she wants." Moreover, I know that you don't like the second lady of your family, so I only invited you on the invitation I sent to the Bai family, and the people at today's banquet are all my friends who I know well, and they all know my habits, and I won't pay too much attention to the rules. ”
She smiled again, approached Bai Jinghao and added, "Wait until the afternoon, and then I'll take you next door to watch my brother and them hunt." ”
Bai Jing was surprised: "Next door? His gaze subconsciously fell on the green mountain in the backyard.
The princess's mansion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the backyard used to be connected to the horse farm.
"Why didn't my brother come on my birthday? It's just that there is a difference between men and women, and some of the young ladies in the clan are too twisted, so I didn't let them come, but my brother invited his friends to be lively next door, and after the banquet, we went over to see them win the prize, and your second brother was also there. In the end, she unconsciously added two points of tenderness to her tone.
Bai Jinghao seemed to understand the reason why she was friendly with herself.
