Chapter 2 The Hundred Flowers Banquet in King Kang's Mansion
Following
Mu Lige had lunch and was about to take a nap when Lian Xin came in with a post
"Miss, this is the invitation to Princess Kang's Hundred Flowers Banquet, the time is in three days, is Miss going?" Lian Xin would ask this question completely because according to Mu Dongming's current status, even if Mu Lige refused, Princess Kang would not say anything.
Mu Lige was dressed in a plain skirt and lay lazily on the soft couch, supporting his head with one hand, and asked casually, "Who have you invited?" ”
"The slave maid heard that the little maid who sent the post said that she had invited all the famous and noble girls in Beijing who were unmarried."
"It's okay to go out for a walk, you go and tell the person who sent the post, and I'll be there on time." After saying that, Lian Xin took the order and walked out. Lige slowly closed her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said to the maid who stayed at the door: "You go to Caifuju and Xianglan Pavilion, tell the second sister and the third sister, prepare well, and follow me to King Kang's Mansion to attend the banquet in three days." ”
"Yes, Miss."
Three days later, in the morning, Mu Lige had breakfast, so she sat aside and watched Lian Xin prepare for this banquet, and when she was almost ready, Lige began to change her clothes and makeup, she felt that this kind of banquet should be to enjoy the flowers and drink tea or something, and she didn't like crowded occasions in the first place.
Therefore, in line with the principle of low-key, Mu Lige rejected the rose-red skirt that Lian Xin took, but chose a lake blue pleated skirt with a few butterflies tattooed on the skirt, simple but elegant, and then asked Lian Xin to give her a simple wishful bun, a silver four-butterfly swaying obliquely in her hair, looking at the woman in the mirror, Mu Lige sighed in his heart again, the original owner is really beautiful, and the delicate little face is still natural without powder.
After getting ready, Mu Lige took pity out of the Star Garden, and just walked to the door of the General's Mansion, he saw that Mu Cailing and Mu Xiangling were already waiting there, today Mu Cailing was wearing a pink dress, and her fair face was also wearing exquisite makeup. And Mu Xiangling wore a goose-yellow floor-length dress, which was also carefully dressed, and it could be seen that the two of them had put a lot of thought into today's banquet.
"The two sisters have been waiting for a long time, let's go." After speaking, the three of them got into the carriage in the mansion and went to King Kang's mansion in turn.
In about half an hour, they arrived at King Kang's mansion.
As soon as the three of them got off the carriage, some people began to talk about it, but everyone was communicating in a low voice, and in such an atmosphere, two voices were particularly abrupt.
"Aren't those the two young ladies of the General's Mansion? Why did you invite them to this banquet? And who is the woman standing among them? A woman in a yellow Luo skirt looked at Mu Lige and asked the person next to her with a puzzled expression.
The woman in a green gauze skirt standing beside her glanced at Mu Lige and replied, "Don't you know? She is the eldest lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, who was only raised in the countryside since she was a child, and she was only picked up at the beginning of the year. As for the other two, they should have come to the banquet with her, after all, the concubine would not be sent to the general's mansion if she was not in the post before. ”
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be a country girl. The woman in the yellow dress looked at Mu Lige with disdain, and her tone was full of mockery.
"Miss, they ......" Xin glanced at Mu Lige worriedly, these young ladies spoke too ugly.
"Leave them alone, let's go." The best way to deal with someone like this who thinks they are superior to others is to treat it coldly. However, Mu Lige still thinks too easily, there are always some people who like to find fault.
"Sure enough, it's a country girl, I don't know the etiquette!" The green-clothed woman stood in front of Mu Lige, her tone contemptuous.
"This young lady, even if the second sister grew up in the countryside, how can she be the Miss of the General's Mansion, how can you be so humiliated" Mu Cailing did not speak at this time to help Mu Lige, but to take this opportunity to tell everyone that she is also a young lady of the General's Mansion, after all, how can you bring out the shelf of the Miss General's Mansion for the first time to participate in such a banquet.
Who knew that the woman in green didn't appreciate it, glanced at her, and said in a contemptuous tone: "What are you?" Is a young lady worthy to talk to Miss Ben? ”
"Second sister, they ......" Hearing this, Mu Cailing glanced at Mu Lige quite embarrassed, she didn't expect that the other party would not give half of face because she was a concubine. And she hadn't been to a banquet before, so she was a little overwhelmed when she encountered such a situation.
Mu Lige looked at Mu Cailing, who looked aggrieved, and sneered in his heart, do you think I can't hear the meaning of your words? Do you really think that everyone is stupid? It's just that in such a situation, she had to take care of it again, and then she looked coldly at the woman in green and said slowly:
"That's right, I grew up in the countryside, although I have never learned etiquette, but I still know that the good and bad of etiquette is manifested in behavior, if I learn etiquette after being like this young lady, I think it is okay not to learn!"
"You ......"
"That's a good point!" A delicate female voice came from behind Mu Lige, interrupting the words of the woman in the yellow dress.
Mu Lige turned around and saw a woman wearing a lilac lotus skirt and an apricot white see-through gauze dress, she was wearing a crystal jasper hairpin on her head, on the coiled three thousand green silks, there were two or three silk flowers with golden light, a lilac tassel around her waist, which looked delicate and small, a pair of silver-white bracelets on her hands, and a pair of apricot white embroidered brocade shoes under her feet were set off elegantly and infinitely, with bright eyes and bright teeth, when she met Mu Lige's eyes, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded to her as a greeting. As the woman walked towards them, she spoke:
"The so-called etiquette is naturally not just talking, is the etiquette of the Yang family to teach Miss Yang to speak disrespectfully to the daughter of the first-class general's family? Is this what you call etiquette? ”
"You ......" The woman in green wanted to refute, but she was powerless to refute, after all, her father's official position was indeed lower than that of General Yipin, and it was more than a little lower.
"Yiyi stops, Miss Mu's incident was caused by me, I was away from Beijing for a few days, so I don't know Miss Mu, Yiyi is disrespectful, I apologize to Miss Mu for her, Miss Mu has a lot, presumably she won't be familiar with Yiyi, right?" After the woman in yellow finished speaking, she looked at Mu Lige and smiled apologetically.
Mu Lige shook his head: "Naturally not." Although he said so, he sneered in his heart, if he didn't stop it sooner or later, he just stood up at this time, and used others as guns to make the other party full of gratitude, it was really a good plan, and he knew that her goal had been achieved by looking at the grateful eyes of the woman in green. After the two left, the people around the theater gradually dispersed.
