Chapter 32: Melting into the Circle of Nobles
"Oh? What's wrong? Su Jinli's tone suddenly became sharp.
Zhang Rumeng glanced at Su Jinxiu, who was embarrassed, and said lightly: "Sister Su, there is a difference between respect and inferiority!"
"What's the matter? I said she could sit, she could sit! Su Jinli didn't want to be arrogant.
"Don't go too far!" No matter how good Ren is temper is, Zhang Rumeng was also angry with Su Jinli's domineering appearance.
Just when the tension was raging, a Qingyue female voice quipped: "Hey, what did you provoke the mild-tempered Miss Zhang Er?"
Everyone looked up and saw Yun Yang, who was dressed up, walking in with a smile.
Yunyang's identity is so noble, where can Zhang Rumeng still care about fighting with Su Jinli, and quickly changed his smiling face to meet him.
"Don't make fun of the courtiers, sit down quickly!"
Seeing that she didn't want to say, Yunyang didn't ask anymore, and she pulled herself inside.
Walking in front of Su Jinxiu, Yunyang was surprised: "Sister Xiu'er, why don't you sit down and stand here stupidly?"
Under Zhang Rumeng's shocked and worried gaze, Su Jinxiu only smiled bitterly and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Zhang Rumeng's hanging heart just fell, and she sighed that Su Jinxiu was sensible, and then heard Yunyang say solemnly: "Li girl, are you bullying Xiu'er again?"
Her heart rose again in an instant, and she hurriedly looked at Su Jinli, hoping that this lord, who had always been domineering and unforgiving, would not sue.
Who knew that Su Jinli directly ignored her plea, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "Yunyang has wronged me!" It's Zhang ......"
When she said this, she was interrupted by Su Jinxiu, and she hurriedly said: "The county lord should not be angry with others, it is Xiu'er who came in late, and she has not had time to sit down!"
Hearing this, Su Jinli immediately glared at her with hatred.
But Yun Yang believed her words, his anger dissipated, and he pulled Su Jinxiu with a light smile to sit on both sides of Su Jinli.
"......" Zhang Ru was very helpless when she saw this, but she quickly squeezed out a noble and elegant smile and returned to her seat.
And the rest of the nobles looked curiously at Su Jinxiu, who was sitting under Su Jinli.
I don't know what kind of ability this Second Miss Su has to get the love and support of Miss Su and the county lord of Yunyang!
The concubines are still there, but the concubines who are far away from the main throne are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Su Jinxiu, who sat among the concubines of the high-ranking family so easily, and their eyes are red.
However, Su Jinxiu herself was not aware of all this, she only quietly listened to Su Jinli chatting with Yunyang and other nobles.
Only when Yunyang or Su Jinli asked, he would answer a word.
Half an hour later, the eyes of these noble ladies looking at Su Jinxiu no longer contained disdain and contempt, but were indifferent.
Obviously, they accepted Su Jinxiu.
Originally, they all thought that Su Jinxiu was a flattering villain who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, so they coaxed Su Jinli and Yunyang to love each other.
After contact, she was gentle and polite, and she did not intervene by relying on Su Jinli and Yunyang, nor did she feel inferior because of their deliberate coldness and disdain.
The temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant, and the talent that inadvertently reveals the full reading of poetry and books, all make them bored.
Such a woman, nothing extraordinary.
Therefore, they all collected the contempt in their eyes and the disdain in their hearts, and began to take the initiative to talk to Su Jinxiu.
No matter what they asked, Su Jinxiu could always answer just right, and the women became more and more satisfied.
Seeing that Su Jinxiu was maneuvering among the top nobles of Yan Country with ease, Su Jinli and Yunyang looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
What happened just now was negotiated by the two of them in a letter a few days ago.
Su Jinli knew very well the weight of the distinction between dignity and inferiority in the hearts of everyone in Yan Country and how proud these top nobles were.
If she rashly pulls Jinxiu in, then Jinxiu will inevitably be rejected by everyone, and the women will ignore her completely.
After thinking about it for a few days, she decided to ask Yunyang to help and sing a double reed, so that the nobles would be curious about Jinxiu.
After that, with their curiosity, they quietly showed the true talents and knowledge of Jinxiu.
With her outstanding talent and temperament, she will soon win the favor of all noble girls.
In order to prevent everyone from seeing it, she didn't tell Jinxiu about her plan before, but fortunately, Jinxiu was really smart.
As soon as today's day passes, Splendid is the nobles and celebrities who have officially set foot in Kyoto!
After another quarter of an hour, a housekeeper came in and reported: "Second Miss, the banquet is about to start, please lead all the distinguished guests to the front hall!"
Zhang Rumeng smiled heartily when she heard this, interrupting the unfinished chat of the noble women, she said: "The banquet will be held, and I invite all my sisters and sisters to come with me!"
Then without waiting for everyone to answer, he took the lead in getting up and walking out, Yunyang also got up, and then Su Jinli and the others also got up and followed closely behind Yunyang.
After a while, they arrived, because they were outside the palace, there were not so many rules, and when they arrived, everyone sat down according to their status.
After everyone sat down, they saw a white-haired old woman walking over with the support of the third prince and the son of the Zhang family.
When everyone was about to salute, the three princes smiled mildly: "Don't be polite, Zhuqing, I'm just here today as my grandson to celebrate my grandmother's birthday!"
Hearing this, everyone gave up, sat quietly and waited for the old lady to sit down, and then said in unison: "I wish the old lady Zhang a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's smiling eyes narrowed together, and she said with a full sense of anger: "Thank you, old body!"
When everyone heard this, they were polite again, and after the politeness, under the leadership of Mrs. Zhang, everyone officially began to use the dishes.
After eating for a while, Zhang Rumeng stood up and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter is not talented, I painted a picture of "Pine Crane Longevity" to celebrate your birthday!"
"Oh? Expand and see! The old lady's eyes lit up suddenly, as if she was very interested.
Zhang Rumeng smiled and nodded, and a maid came to the stage holding a picture scroll.
After she took the scroll, she said, "Ru Meng is ugly today!" and then unfold it.
As soon as the prostrate unfolded, someone gasped, and then everyone stared intently at the scroll.
Beautiful, really beautiful! Not to mention the lifelike and beautiful paintings of the cranes, even the auspicious clouds are painted like smoke and dreams.
Wonderful, the pine climbs the rock, and the branches meander and twist, forming a picture of vitality and perseverance.
The combination of the two adds a bit of far-reaching elegance, which is really a good painting!
Even Su Jinli, who doesn't like Zhang Rumeng's eight-sided exquisiteness and sleek life, thinks this painting is exquisite.
Seeing everyone's obsessed expressions, Zhang Rumeng couldn't help but feel a little complacent, the corners of her lips rose unconsciously, and her eyes were full of pride.
"Third Highness, what do you think of Ru Meng's painting?" The old lady who was the first to reply to God asked lovingly.
The third prince was slightly stunned, and then said: "Miss Ru Meng's painting skills are outstanding, I admire them!"
Zhang Rumeng, who was secretly happy when the old lady spoke, heard this, her eyes darkened, and a trace of injury quickly flashed across her face.
is obviously a cousin and sister, but he has to say that he is so angry, he ...... to her Sure enough, there was no intention.
At the same time, the old lady also had a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and then she said modestly: "What His Highness said is true! The old body also thinks that Ru Meng's painting skills are acceptable! ”
Her words were too humble, and many people began to praise Zhang Rumeng, and it was a good politeness.
Because of the painting, the banquet became lively for a while, with staggered planning, silk music, delicious food, and all the guests chatting and laughing.
Su Jinli had long been accustomed to this, and she ate the dishes calmly, without the slightest intention of getting involved in their hot chat.
After Zhang Rumeng presented the painting, the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family celebrated the birthday of the old lady one after another, but Su Jinli ignored the whole process and picked his favorite dishes to eat.
While eating, Yun Yang suddenly touched her arm, she looked up with some confusion, and saw Yun Yang motioning for her to look at Su Jinxiu beside her.
She turned her head blankly, and was so shocked that she almost forgot to swallow the food in her mouth.
Oh my God, she actually saw the calm and self-controlled Su Jinxiu holding her chin and looking at the third prince beside Old Madam Zhang sadly!
"Xiu'er?" She whispered.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, Su Jinxiu did not move, she sighed in her heart, and then patted Su Jinxiu's shoulder.
Su Jinxiu suddenly shook her head and almost screamed.
"What's wrong with my sister?" She was stunned.
Su Jinli frowned slightly and said, "I should ask you this, why are you distracted?"
"I ...... I ......" Su Jinxiu suddenly blushed with shame, biting her lip, after all, she was embarrassed to say it, she had been staring at the third prince.
Seeing that she was ashamed and indignant, Su Jinli comforted her in a soothing tone: "Okay, I don't mean to blame you." It's just that it's really rude in front of everyone, so pay attention! ”
It seems that fate is really predestined, Jinxiu married the third prince in his previous life, and he fell in love with the third highness at a glance in this life.
It's the third prince, and the first glance at Jinxiu at the gate of the mansion earlier also had an obvious stagnation, and he obviously had a good feeling!
For the twists and turns in Su Jinli's heart, Su Jinxiu didn't know, she only felt more ashamed.
She stared at a man rudely, it was frivolous, but her sister didn't blame her, not only that, but also comforted her, she was really shameless!
After this, Su Jinxiu no longer raised her head, and only sat quietly.
It wasn't until the end of the banquet that she said goodbye to the rest of the ladies with Su Jinli and Yunyang.
After leaving the gate of the mansion and getting into the carriage of the Ningguo Mansion, Su Jinxiu asked Su Jinli for guilt.
"Sister, I'm sorry! Fang is my Meng Lang! ”
Hearing this, Su Jinli immediately laughed and said, "Silly girl! You are already in the prime of life, and it is normal for people to see a handsome man's spring heart sprout, how can it be wrong? ”
Su Jinxiu was moved by Su Jinli's generosity, and in order to reassure her, she immediately assured: "Thank you sister for your tolerance, I will not be so rude in the future!"
Su Jinli continued to smile lightly: "Although His Royal Highness is in the age of the weak crown, he has never married or had a concubine, after a while, if you calm down and still feel happy with him, my sister will help you plan one or two!"
After speaking, she looked at Su Jinxiu fixedly, and saw that although she was shy, she still nodded firmly, and a little smile immediately welled up in her eyes.
