Chapter 316: Love
Of course, there are also those who are not so friendly, such as Sun Tong.
Because she blamed her for her disrespectful remarks just now, the eldest lady arranged for her to sit at the table next to Xia Jin. But even so, it couldn't stop her jealous heart.
As soon as Calamus brought a bowl of soup to Xia Jin, she heard Sun Tong ask with a smile over there: "Lord Yong'an, I don't know how my cousin's body is now?" ”
She thought she was asking this question very appropriately. Her mother and Mrs. Wu'an Hou are distant cousins, and the younger generation greets the elder's body, which is not only not rude, but also very heartfelt, and no one can say that she is asking the wrong question. But Mrs. Wu Anhou is full of malice towards Su Muxian, everyone knows it, and she is no better for this daughter-in-law. At this time, she asked this in front of everyone, which undoubtedly lifted Xia Jin's scars and made Xia Jin, the new Mrs. Wu Anhou, faceless.
But she didn't expect that Xia Jin would stare at her for half an hour with those beautiful eyes, until the voice in the hall gradually stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to the two of them. ”
There is nothing that everyone does not know about the intricate marriage relationship of the big family. Sun Tong didn't think there was anything to do here, so he naturally admitted: "Yes, my mother and the old lady of your mansion are cousins." ”
"Oh?" Xia Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Sun Tong twice, "I've treated the old lady for so long, I haven't heard that she has relatives?" It's rare that Miss Sun has a heart, and I still remember her cousin, I thank you on behalf of my old lady. She is now in good health, but she has been left with sequelae after her illness, and she can't speak. If Miss Sun wants to be careful, go and see her. People have been sick for a long time. It is inevitable to be lonely, and what I hope for most is the visit of relatives and friends. Saying that, she nodded at Sun Tong, picked up the soup bowl and drank it, and ignored her.
Seeing the different meanings of everyone's gazes, Sun Tong's face was red and white.
She really didn't expect that this ordinary Yongan County Lord would speak so well, not only was she embarrassed to be slapped in the face. Instead, in front of so many people. It is ironic that their grandson's family is cold, and their relatives have been sick for so long and have not come to visit.
The eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion was really angry and annoyed. A wedding feast at the house. The most feared thing is that someone will have a quarrel. didn't expect others to make trouble, but it was the daughter of her aunt's wife who provoked the incident and stirred up the festive atmosphere. The most important thing is that she lost a big face for the two mansions. also offended the lord of Yong'an, who was in the limelight-you must know that the old lady of Ning Guo has been in poor health recently. I just want the lord of Yong'an to take a look. But at this time, I have offended people three times and twice, how can I open this mouth?
Everyone looked at each other, all lowered their heads, and began to eat.
Right now. Those who are not used to seeing Xia Jin have already put to rest the little thought in their hearts. This Yong'an county lord is not easy to mess with.
Old Madam Shao and Cen Ziman had smiles in their eyes.
The most taboo thing in the circle of noblewomen is saber rattling. If something goes wrong, it's like a hedgehog. If you have a conflict with someone, you can't stay in the social circle of the capital. It is bound to be rejected by all. Therefore, when Sun Tong asked for fruit at the beginning, Xia Jin's performance was very good, generous and generous, and he didn't care about her. But if Sun Tong provokes again, she still chooses to be lenient, but she will be despised again. As you do now, you can show your tough side and give the other person a strong and not rude response, and you will behave beautifully.
Mrs. Shao was very pleased. She always knew that her granddaughter was the best. It's just that Xia Jin doesn't like to socialize, she has always been worried that she will not be suitable in the noble lady's social circle, but she didn't expect her to cope quite well.
Although it is a wedding banquet, everyone is from a famous family and pays attention to the dining rules. After starting to eat, they stopped making noise and only ate elegantly and quietly. Sun Tong was so choked by Xia Jin that he couldn't speak, and was looked at sternly by the old lady of Ning Guo, and he didn't dare to speak again, but he was angry in his heart, and his eyes still fell on Xia Jin, hoping that she would make a fool of herself during the meal. However, once again disappointed her, Xia Jin's dining elegance was no less than that of all the ladies and ladies present, and Sun Tong's expectations were disappointed again.
When the meal was over, the servant woman removed the table and brought the tea. After drinking tea and sitting down again, everyone is ready to leave.
A maid came in from outside, walked behind Xia Jin, and whispered a word to Calamus.
Calamus glanced at her in surprise, lowered her head and was about to talk to Xia Jin, but saw that Mrs. Huang of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War had a very happy conversation with Xia Jin, she was not easy to disturb, so she had to follow the maid out. After a while, she walked in with a delicate silver hand stove in her hand, called "madam" softly, and handed the hand stove to Xia Jin.
Xia Jin raised his head in surprise and looked at the calamus.
She is a martial arts practitioner and has never been afraid of the cold. She never used a hand stove. What's the matter with Calamus today, and she gave her a hand stove?
Moreover, this hand stove seems to be quite familiar, it seems to be specially made by Wu'an Houfu, and there is also the emblem of Houfu on it, she has seen similar ones in the room of the old lady of Wu'an. When did Calamus come out of the Houfu with a hand stove?
Calamus said: "Madam, Master Hou is afraid that you will be cold, so he specially asked someone to send a hand stove." Her voice was neither loud nor small, and everyone sitting around heard her. As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent and turned their heads to look in Xia Jin's direction.
Mrs. Huang has a very good impression of Xia Jin. Hearing Calamus's words, she couldn't help laughing, and joked to Xia Jin: "Look, Su Houye really feels sorry for you, and he asked someone to bring you a hand stove, lest you be frozen." ”
Who is Xia Jin? I knew Su Muxian's intentions at once.
She was angry and funny in her heart, and with a sweet feeling, a red layer appeared on her face, and she said embarrassedly: "Let Mrs. make fun of me." ”
"Don't make fun of it, don't make fun of it, newlyweds, it's like oil in honey, and we panic when we don't see it for a moment, it's too late for us to envy, where do we dare to make fun of you?" Madame Huang laughed loudly, allowing everyone in the hall to hear it.
Many ladies in the capital like Su Muxian's affairs, and she naturally heard about it. Why Sun Tong targeted Xia Jin just now, she can guess a few points. When he said this at this time, he was undoubtedly helping Xia Jin slap those unconvinced ladies in the face.
Sure enough, when he learned that Su Muxian specially asked someone to send a hand stove to Xia Jin, those ladies who still had some careful thoughts in their hearts shattered their glass hearts.
Although Xia Jin's appearance is also beautiful. But in the Beijing Lady Show, it can only be regarded as a medium appearance; And Su Muxian is the most handsome among the young men in the capital, except for Peng Yuzhang, but his status is above Peng Yuzhang, and his status is very high in the minds of the ladies, so everyone unanimously feels that Xia Jin is not worthy of Su Muxian in any aspect. The two of them were able to get married, completely because of the marriage given by the Queen Mother - perhaps, it was the county lord of Yong'an who relied on the credit. Proposed to the Queen Mother. The queen mother couldn't wipe her face, so she agreed to give marriage.
How many people want to see Su Muxian cold to Xia Jin. But is that really the case? What's going on with this beautiful silver hand stove in front of you?
After sitting for a while, everyone took their leave. Old Madam Shao also took Xia Jin and Cen Ziman. Prepare to say goodbye and leave.
"I hope you will forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality today." The eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion smiled at them, "Invite a few more people to sit in the mansion another day." ”
Old Madam Shao said a few polite words to her, and then walked out together.
Most of the people in the hall left as well.
Walk to the gate. Old Madam Shao was saying goodbye to her friends when she heard a clear voice coming from not far away: "Jin'er." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look. But it was Su Muxian. Today, he is wearing a stone blue embroidered moire brocade robe, wearing a gold crown, rich and handsome, and the jade tree is in the wind. Stand there and don't speak. It attracted everyone's attention.
And his gaze was tightly locked on a person's body, and he changed his previous cold attitude towards girls. The gaze that stared at Xia Jin was so gentle and warm that it could make people drown in it. Can't extricate yourself.
"Brother Xian, why did you come out?" Old Madam Shao looked at her grandson-in-law with a smile, "Didn't you say that Sister Jin would go back with us, and you would have a few more drinks here?" ”
"No need." Su Muxian had already walked over, first looked at Xia Jin's face, and then turned to Mrs. Shao and said, "Jin'er is a little cold today, I don't worry, take her back to drink medicine." ”
Xia Jin: "......"
Did she get cold? It's just that when I came out in the morning, I was stimulated by the cold wind and sneezed twice. Don't you want to be so nervous?
Perhaps, he is acting for people to see?
Su Muxian lowered his head and looked at Xia Jin, his eyes gentle: "Is it cold or not?" Is it uncomfortable? As he spoke, he looked at Xia Jin's hand, his eyes were slightly dark, "What about the hand stove?" ”
Xia Jin pointed at the calamus awkwardly.
Calamus hurriedly handed over the hand stove.
Su Muxian took the hand stove, put it in Xia Jin's arms, and blamed: "Why is it like a child, you can't take care of yourself?" He raised his head and smiled at Old Madam Shao, "Grandmother, I'll take Jin'er back." I'll see you again when I have time. ”
"Okay, let's go." Seeing that her son-in-law was so considerate and caring for her granddaughter, Mrs. Shao was so happy that she waved her hand again and again, "Go back quickly, I don't know that Sister Jin is uncomfortable." ”
"Grandmother, what's the matter, I'm not uncomfortable, it's all his fuss." Xia Jin hurriedly declared.
"What's all the fuss?" Old Madam Shao glared at her with disgust, "Brother Xian'er is concerned about you, you don't talk nonsense." Hurry back with him, don't get cold again. He smiled at Su Mu again, "Brother Xian, Sister Jin will be handed over to you, take good care of her." ”
"Don't worry, grandmother, I will." Su Muxian replied softly, and took Xia Jin's hand, "Let's go, the carriage is over there." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, do you want to do this?
Xia Jin wanted to withdraw his hand from his palm, but found that he was holding it extremely tightly. In front of everyone, she couldn't say anything, so she had to blush slightly and get into the carriage with him.
The carriage started and left everyone, and then she looked at Su Muxian: "What the hell are you doing?" ”
"How can I be a ghost?" Su Muxian flatly denied it, "Didn't you catch a cold in the morning?" ”
Xia Jin reached out and twisted the soft flesh on his waist and threatened, "Do you want to say it?" ”
Su Muxian looked at her beautiful face in front of her, couldn't help but kiss her, and then said with a slight cold look in his eyes: "Hmph, I came out of the table from that side, and I was stopped by someone, saying that I would be a concubine." I don't want to show my heart to you, I don't know how much embarrassment you have on your side. These people really don't know how to write the word shame. ”
Xia Jin laughed "sneeringly", and twisted Su Mu for a while: "Alas, how can you live if you marry a husband who attracts bees and butterflies." (To be continued)
