Chapter One Hundred and Two
The birthday banquet of Mrs. Xiahou is a banquet attended by celebrities in the entire X city.
However, the joy of the old lady Xiahou has not been held for a long time, and the sudden announcement of the event this time is like dropping a bomb in the upper class.
People from all walks of life wanted to squeeze into this banquet, which didn't seem to make much sense in Jiang Li's opinion.
"Do you have to go?" Jiang Li leaned on the car window, looking at the old mansion like a garden.
There were a lot of cars parked outside, and there were a lot of reporters around who couldn't get in.
This banquet is similar to the Hongmen banquet, Xiahou Zun asked her to come over, which clearly shows that she wants to be governed by public opinion.
"Miss Jiang, you've arrived at the door, is there any reason to go back?" Heng Yi smiled, this Miss Jiang shouldn't have a phobia of banquets!
Jiang Li sighed and made an excuse and said, "But I didn't buy a gift." ”
"Don't worry about gifts, Mr. has already prepared them for you" Hengyi blocked her way back.
"So, that's what it means to refuse!" Jiang Li pushed the car door.
Forget it, it's all here, just go! Can you still eat her?
The old house of the Xiahou family is designed in the style of a Chinese garden, with pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and lakes, each of which reveals the ancient charm of the ancient fragrance.
Jiang Li thinks that this is the most heartfelt antique building. If it weren't for the modern clothes she was wearing, she would have really thought she had returned to Liang Kingdom.
But......... The red, white and blue roses in the center of the banquet are a little abrupt.
Why put so many flowers in the center, it's really cheesy.
The women of this world, young and old, seem to really like roses.
As soon as Jiang Li entered the door, he sneezed very unvividly, the flowers are good flowers, but the taste is too strong.
The sneeze was not loud, but it was very unsightly to put on her.
Everyone turned their attention to Jiang Li, those sharp and unfriendly eyes, eager to see through her whole person.
"This is the second lady of the Jiang family! How does it look like a man, so savage! ”
"I heard that a while ago, she forced Miss Le to commit suicide."
"Yo! can force a strong woman to commit suicide, this woman is really powerful! ”
"Isn't that a child who is free-range abroad can be in charge of the family's company, and he doesn't have a few skills?"
"She dares to come to this old lady's banquet, and she is not afraid to blow her out!"
"We'll just watch! It's rare to have a good show to watch today! ”
A few women who claimed to be famous ladies were holding glasses full of champagne and chewing their tongues elegantly.
Jiang Li plucked her ears, in fact, this was the reason why she didn't want to come to the banquet.
In the Liang Kingdom, she also often participates in various banquets, but generally only married women can participate, so she is an alternative. Those housewives who stayed by her husband's side and were submissive made her annoyed when she saw it.
She remembered that when she came back from an expedition at the age of eleven, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor made an exception to hold a feast, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
When she came to the hall in a man's dress, she was whipped countless times by the noblewomen, whose eyes were like thorny wattles.
The daughter's family can only hide in the house, learn embroidery, and the fallacy of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is prevalent.
Regarding the statement that only men can do it when they show up on the battlefield, my father ignored it.
At that time, my mother replied in front of the emperor, "It's better to let the children of the ladies compare with my family's Ali to see who is better, if Ali wins, you will keep your mouth shut in the future, and never talk about my Jiang family's family affairs." ”
Of course, those ladies were not convinced, and the sons in the audience were also gearing up. Because they don't believe what this eleven-year-old can do with them.
The emperor was interested and agreed to compare those people with her. As a result, she was young and arrogant, but she let the five teenagers go together.
As a result, she naturally made those five people lose face.
It was much later that she found out that she really became famous because of this one-to-five deed.
As a result, she was blacklisted by matchmakers. So much so that when he was nineteen years old, no one dared to propose marriage.
"Miss Jiang, can you pay attention to your personal image?" Xiahou Zun appeared behind her quietly, his mouth was filled with wine, and it was obvious that he had left the guests before he came out to greet her.
"I've always been." She spread out her palms and placed them in front of Xiahou Zun, "Where's the gift?" I came empty-handed. ”
Xiahou Zun sighed, "Miss Jiang, can you not be so straightforward?" "He still wanted to give it to her in private, after all, there are many ears and eyes.
"As soon as I came in, their eyes had already looked at me, and I couldn't hide it if I wanted to." She understood what Xiahou Zun meant.
Eighty percent of people will go to the old lady to make a small report, and she doesn't want to hide anything.
Xiahou Zun helped her prepare a pair of crystal glasses frames as a gift, and the temples were also inlaid with pink diamonds, which were worn in her eyes, and from a distance she looked as if she was not wearing them.
"It should ......... It's not cheap...... "She doesn't understand these things, but looking at the shiny appearance, it's probably going to be expensive!"
Xiahou Zun thought for a while, "Hmm! Possibly! "He never looks at the price when he buys things, just look good and fit.
She entered the venue with Xiahou Zun, although she didn't hold his arm intimately, but it was enough to make those who were right and wrong think about it.
"Is this blatant appearance showing off that you have hooked up with someone from the Xiahou family?"
"The Jiang family's tutor is getting better and better, and if you are in a play, you have to be a bitch."
"Her sister is not here too, dressed like an unpopular model."
"Old man Jiang, this is going to be a late festival!"
Those people spoke with their mouths covered, but she heard them clearly.
She raised her hand and poked Xiahou Zun's arm, "I'll go to the side to eat something, you're busy." ”
Xiahou Zun nodded slightly, he also heard the words of those people, but his purpose would be revealed later, and then the two parted ways.
Jiang Li has always been fascinated by the food of this world, with many flavors, rich seasonings, and many pastries, and there is no way to start.
In this place where she felt out of place, she had to eat something to keep from getting bored.
"My sister is here, too!" Jiang Yingyue's voice suddenly came.
