Chapter 9 There is no good feast
Le Qi stood aside, looking at Mu Qingya sitting by the window! Since yesterday's conversation, she seems to have stopped and continued to ask her own thoughts. As if she was really just a maid ring she bought, the master's instructions were even more ridiculous, and he even said that if Mu Qingya asked about Jiangnan, she would tell the truth! Rao has been trained since she was a child, and she can't help but be confused, she can't guess the thoughts of Mu Qingya and her master, so she can only continue to be a pawn in the game between the two!
"Leqi, tonight you go to explore my father's study and draw the layout of the study!" Mu Qingya's soft command sounded like a thunderbolt in Le Qi's ears!
"Miss, you ...... You know ......"
Mu Qingya interrupted her: "Miss Ben doesn't know anything, you just need to do what I tell you!" ”
"Yes!" Leqin gritted her teeth, she was very annoyed in her heart, she really didn't know where the flaws were exposed, before she came, she even used medicine to remove the calluses left by practicing martial arts on her hands, and she had specially practiced walking, absolutely without a trace of martial arts practice! So how the hell did she find out!
Leqin walked in and brought in a beautiful red invitation: "Miss, Miss Chen's invitation has been delivered!" ”
"Hmm!" Mu Qingya nodded, Chen Lu's birthday was really timely, "Father's side will definitely prepare gifts, you send someone to ask what gifts your father will prepare?" ”
"The slave maid heard this morning that this time the master and the young master came back and brought a lot of wine, Chen Daoist is a natural drinker, and some time ago he specified that he wanted the master to bring a few jars, saying that no matter how much others send, they can't compare to those jars of wine!"
Squinted her eyes slightly, Mu Qingya hooked the corners of her mouth, the color of wine is the most misleading, it seems that this Chen Daoist himself doesn't want to live in peace!
"I see! Then we don't have to prepare! ”
Leqin was puzzled: "Miss, we should bring some gifts as well." ”
"It's useless to bring it, someone has to collect it!" Mu Qingya glanced at the birdcage hanging outside the window, "I don't like these beasts, let them all go!" ”
"Yes, Miss!" Leqin was surprised, weren't these the young lady's favorite teasers before? Looking at the back of the young lady, I was relieved, too, it is none of her business that the young lady's preferences have changed, she only needs to serve the young lady well!
At this time, Mu Yizhi sat in the study, his expression was very solemn, Chen Daoyuan was Mu Yizhi's boss, and he had always taken care of him, but at this juncture, he couldn't help but think a little more, although the house was quiet these days, but he was always very uneasy, the account book that recorded the embezzlement of taxes and silver by the officials under the second prince was like a stone pressing on his heart, making him feel extremely difficult to breathe, he had to adhere to his principles, but also didn't want to joke with the lives of his wife and daughter, For a while, I just felt that my hair was about to turn gray! Looking at it now, I can only take one step at a time, and before leaving, I told the little guy to carefully check the wine, and I didn't find any omissions!
Qin Yue didn't need to go to such a banquet, Mu Qingya's carriage followed directly behind Mu Yi!
In the carriage, Leqin and Leqi were waiting on the side, and Mu Qingya looked at the drawings in her hand, and she took Mu Yizhi's study map that Leqi had drawn. Le Qi didn't know how to move and said:
"Miss, I heard that Daoist Chen invited Lord Sun De, the envoy of Liangjiang, this time!"
"Sunde?" Mu Qingya handed the drawings in her hand to Le Qi to put them away, and motioned for her to continue.
"Well, Sun De's means are slick and the most flexible, although he has no family background, but after being admitted to the Jinshi nine years ago, he has been prosperous all the way to the position of the envoy of Liangjiang, because there was a problem with the tax and silver this time, she came to Linjiang City! Ming, who came to attend Chen Daoyuan's banquet, secretly ......"
Mu Qingya sneered, all the way to the official luck, hum, if no one is behind the back, where will the road come from! However, when Le Qi told herself the news, I am afraid that it is implying that this envoy is a usable person, so she should pay attention to it! Since she can save some effort, she is naturally happy to see it! However, the identity of the master of Leqi is really not simple, and an official from the third grade can be used by him......
The carriage went all the way smoothly and soon arrived at the Chen Daoyuan Mansion, at this moment the Chen Mansion was already full of people coming and going, seeing Mu Yizhi's carriage coming, the officials with low official positions stopped to salute each other! Mu Qingya's carriage had already stopped, and he detoured to the side door and transferred to a small sedan chair to enter the place where the ladies were entertained!
Mu Qingya took Leqin and Leqi to follow the leading Yahuan all the way into Cuiyunxuan! It's already a buzzing place! The three or two well-dressed ladies gathered together to talk and laugh softly, and the smoke and waves flowed and the fragrance gusted, which was particularly pleasing to the eye! As soon as she walked in, Chen Wanxiang's voice sounded: "Third Miss is here, come in quickly!" ”
Chen Wanxiang combed her flowing cloud bun, inserted gold silk and eight treasures to save beads, and a gilt flower step swayed to her ears, swaying and shining when she walked, and her posture was thousands! One look at the other ladies compares to the other!
"Miss Chen is polite! Ladies and gentlemen, courteous! Mu Qingya lowered her head and lowered her eyelids slightly!
This is the first time that other people have seen Mu Qingya after she fell into the water, there were rumors before that Mu Qingya seemed to be a different person since she woke up from falling into the water, and they still scoffed at it, and listened to it as a joke, but after seeing her today, they suddenly found that Mu Qingya had really changed! In the past, in order to show her identity and compete with Chen Wanxiang, she was dressed gorgeously and her words were invisible, which was simply a joke in the eyes of the young ladies of all families! I didn't expect to see you again today, she was dressed in a pink cloud smoke dress embroidered with oblique plum blossoms, her face was slightly powdered, her hair was pulled up with a begonia white hosta, and she was decorated with a few silver gilt filigree beads, exuding a noble atmosphere all over her body, and the simple decoration did not weaken her temperament by half a point, but made her more noble! Everyone looked at her and felt as if she was standing in the clouds, which made them ashamed of themselves! Even if she lowered her head and saluted, it didn't alleviate the uncomfortable feeling in everyone's hearts!
After returning the salute, everyone took their seats again! Chen Wanxiang pulled Mu Qingya to sit at the top of the position: "Miss Mu San, why didn't you see Jinglan and Shiling?" Didn't they say they would come together? ”
"When I came, I heard that there was something wrong with the gifts they prepared, and now it's almost there!"
"Jinglan and Shiling are always so different, I said a while ago, where do you need to prepare any gifts, it is already to give me face to come!"
The two of them looked like they were smiling and talking happily, which surprised everyone, it is a well-known thing that Mu Qingya and Chen Wanxiang have a bad relationship, in the past, when they met each other was not-for-tat, today's scene is really shocking!
Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling also arrived at Cuiyunxuan after a while, and the two of them still have a similar dress and different styles, which is particularly eye-catching!
"Jinglan, Shiling, you are here, why did you come so late!" Chen Wanxiang said.
"We're late, Miss Chen, don't blame!"
Seeing that their faces were pale and their smiles were a little ugly, Chen Wanxiang asked with concern: "What's wrong with the two of you, why are your faces so ugly, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Mu Jinglan was slightly shocked: "No, it's okay!" It's just that when I came, the carriage was a little frightened! ”
Chen Wanxiang nodded and didn't say anything more, but she was very angry in her heart, today is her father's birthday, these two people look like they are going to die, they are really unlucky, they are really concubines who can't be on the stage, hum!
The guests had arrived, everyone began to sit down, Mu Qingya, as the concubine of the Mu family, was in front of the two sisters, she was not in a hurry to take a seat, but walked to Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling, who had ugly faces, and took their hands and said softly: "What's wrong with the two sisters?" Wasn't it okay before I came, but it was uncomfortable! I think it's better not to walk around in the future, otherwise it won't hurt anywhere! ”
Leqin stood next to Le Qi, a happy smile flashed in her eyes, looking at Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling's restless and pale appearance, she instantly must have played a role in the young lady's arrangement in the courtyard! Before coming, the young lady asked them to bury a lot of iron nails in the yard, and she had always been puzzled, but now it seems that the young lady is really clever! I already knew that these two people were not pure, otherwise how could they go to the yard of the young lady when she came out! Fortunately, the young lady has already arranged it, otherwise I don't know what to lose! Judging by their appearance, it is estimated that they did not enter the lady's room, otherwise they may not be able to come to this banquet!
Mu Shiling's face became even more ugly, and her voice was a little gritted teeth: "Mu Qingya, what do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean?" Mu Qingya's eyes changed, and her eyes were full of coldness, "It means to put away your dirty thoughts, I don't care about you at this time, you'd better be honest with me, I don't want to clean up the housework at this time!" ”
Mu Shiling retreated in horror, Mu Qingya's cold eyes only felt that her legs were weak, and the breath of ice cream made her breathless, and she subconsciously grabbed Mu Jinglan's hands, only to find that her hands and feet were as cold as herself!
When they came back to their senses, Mu Qingya sat in front! Just now they were talking in a very low voice, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was just Mu Qingya pulling the two sisters and saying a few words! Especially when Mu Qingya turned around, she looked so lightly smiling, and everyone who watched sighed for a while, this Mu Qingya is really different! Only Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling felt the residual warm touch on their wrists, and their bodies were like falling into an ice cellar!
Chen Wanxiang, as the master, advanced and retreated in a certain degree, and his words and deeds were decent, and the atmosphere of Cuiyunxuan was very harmonious for a while!
Mu Qingya held the small wine glass, and only said a few words when Chen Wanxiang asked, and didn't say much! But everyone was surprised to find that their eyes were involuntarily focused on her, and they couldn't help but have complicated thoughts in their hearts! When she and Chen Wanxiang competed before, they always had to look at her, but now that she is not fighting, they can't ignore her!
At this time, Mu Qingya didn't have the heart to guess what these young ladies were thinking, she was waiting for the movement in the front yard! At this time, the banquet in the front yard has definitely begun, so it's time for the show!
