Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Same Pride
A few days later
Tianyun Tower, the largest teahouse in Beijing
Originally, it was the most lively cloud skybuilding, but today it is even more lively.
"Hey, have you heard? Today seems to be a gathering of these young ladies, and I don't usually see these ladies, can I feast my eyes today? A guest dressed in white sat in a chair, his eyes flashing with longing. On weekdays, the ladies don't go out of the door, and even if it's a party, it's in the courtyard where they can't enter. It's good now, it's in a teahouse where everyone can enter, but this position is also what he got after waiting in line for a long time.
"Of course I heard about it, if it weren't for this matter, I wouldn't have spent so much money and time on Tianyun Tower, really, I also heard that this party seems to be organized by Zhuo Tianxue, who won the first place in the competition a while ago." The other man hurriedly said that most of the people sitting in the hall now had come for this, and he said it as if he could show off in front of everyone.
Many people do suddenly realize, most of the young ladies who generally won the first place in the competition have entered the palace, and their future achievements will not be low, and although the Zhuo family is not a general trend, but they are imperial businessmen, but the royal family is a person to rely on, plus this Miss Zhuo Tianxue is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she will definitely be favored by the emperor, and she will be rich and noble in the future.
However, some people ignore what this man says, they all have their own gossip and have already known about it, so they are very calm on the surface. But whether their hearts are calm or not, only they can know.
When Jiang Xinyu and Xiaorou came to Izumo Tower, they looked at the scene of full of voices.
"Settle in such a place, and no one will believe him if he says that there is no trickery." Jiang Xinyu thought silently in her heart.
The busy shopkeeper inside saw the arrival of a girl and stepped forward to greet him, and the girls who came to their teahouse today all had identities, and he didn't dare to offend easily.
"Excuse me, miss, who are you?"
Xiaorou took over: "My young lady is the eldest lady of Zhuo Mansion, is the celebrity dinner here?" Xiao Rou looked at the noisy environment in front of her and couldn't believe it.
"Yes. You are Miss Zhuofu, and there are already many young ladies waiting for you! Miss Zhuo Tianxue, please go up! "Xiao Er is kindly invited, the ladies above have been waiting for a while!
Jiang Xinyu nodded, looked at the noisy environment, and frowned.
Xiao Er takes you Xiao Rou and them up to the second floor, the second floor is not as noisy as the first floor, and the number of people has decreased a lot.
Jiang Xinyu hadn't been to Tianyun Tower, so he looked around.
"The ladies are all in the box, so please keep coming with me." Xiao Er continued to lead the way in front, only to see that he came to a box in front of a box. However, the room could still hear the young ladies chattering and discussing.
"When is this Zhuo Tianxue coming? Are you playing us, you've been waiting for so long. A young lady said angrily.
The other ladies immediately chimed in: "That's right, the original time has already passed, and you still think she Zhuo Tianxue is who?" Let's all wait for her. ”
But none of the ladies on the throne spoke, and their literacy did not allow them to chew their tongues behind people's backs now.
……
When Xiao Er heard these words, he was a little embarrassed and hurriedly pushed the door open.
When the girls saw Zhuo Tianxue standing outside the door, they immediately put their original mood on Zhuo Tianxue.
"Isn't it just the first place, what's so remarkable, so nobody?" But I originally expected that Zhuo Tianxue would not refute it, but the truth was completely opposite to what I imagined.
I saw Jiang Xinyu walking in slowly: "I didn't say that it's a big deal to get the first place in the written test, but now it seems that you are still quite jealous!" ”
Xiao Rou felt something was wrong when she heard them say that. The letter given by the third lady has not yet arrived, and they have arrived early, why are these young ladies blaming them? It's weird.
He was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he was interrupted by the angry young ladies.
"You. It's just a businessman's daughter, I don't think there will be much success in the future, even if you win the competition now, it can't guarantee that you will be rich and noble in the future, where there is nothing arrogant and proud. The young lady was very unconvinced, in fact, she was jealous in her heart, remembering that Zhuo Tianxue won the first place in the competition.
"Don't say it, I believe that Miss Zhuo must have a reason for coming late, and besides, can you talk less about you, a lady!" Mo Nishang on the main seat spoke, and everyone didn't dare to talk about it.
"Tianxue, come and sit here!" Zhao Changle also beckoned to Jiang Xinyu, Jiang Xinyu smiled slightly, and walked over, among these young ladies, the only ones she wanted to talk to were Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle.
"Tianxue, why did you choose such a place to hold such a party this time? Still so late, what's going on? Zhao Changle cares about Jiang Xinyu very much, and she is very happy to be able to find a person who can match her personality from so many people, but she also wants to hear her explanation about today's matter, if there is anything to help, she will definitely help.
Of course, Jiang Xinyu also saw Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle's concerned eyes, and her heart was warm, but she also knew that she believed Zhuo Tianfeng's letter too much, it turned out that there was already a hurdle waiting for her here, but her news was still too ill-informed, underestimating her relationship with Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle, if it was the way it was, according to Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle's temper, it would make herself ugly, and then she was originally a person with arrogance, If you are choked by either Mo Nishang or Zhao Changle, plus there is a group of young ladies who don't watch too much excitement, the relationship between a group of people will become very tense.
Comfortingly, he smiled at them, and probably understood this matter in his heart, "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I didn't do it right, I will deal with this matter." ”
Mo Nishang, Zhao Changle was originally much more noble than the young ladies below, so he naturally sat in the first place, and then Jiang Xinyu sat next to them, so he was naturally qualified to look down on those young ladies.
The young ladies below watched them chatting happily, and many of them flashed with jealousy in their eyes, after all, they could talk like this with these two people who respected their identities and were opponents, and now there was only Jiang Xinyu.
"With honorable people, it's not like you can't become the same person, and some people still see their identity as soon as possible." A woman in a light blue dress below smelled of gunpowder when she opened her mouth.
But this is the kind of words except for letting the ladies below pay attention to her, the others are useless, the three people above, no one gave her a look, only the woman in the light blue dress glared at Jiang Xinyu fiercely, and had to hold back the fire in her stomach.
Jiang Xinyu chatted with the two beside her for a while, and also hung the young lady below for a while, she thought that their anger had almost been extinguished.
"Today, everyone is gathered together because of me Zhuo Tianxue, naturally I, as the host of this party, am too sorry to kill everyone if I am too late, and I apologize to this here." Jiang Xinyu didn't care about the young lady's reaction, so she directly bent down and apologized to the other young ladies, of course, this kind of behavior was a bit amazing in ancient times, and sure enough, the young ladies were stunned by her behavior, even Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle.
Pulling Jiang Xinyu's clothes slightly, they were very puzzled by Jiang Xinyu's behavior: "Tianxue? ”
Jiang Xinyu bowed and tidied up her clothes, some of the young ladies below already had contempt in their eyes, and this Miss Zhuo family is not good, right? Even if he is good friends with Zhao Changle and Mo Nishang, he will do such a loss of identity.
"Of course, this is only for my previous mistakes, and of course I will admit my mistakes. But that doesn't mean I'm giving in to you. Jiang Xinyu hooked her lips and smiled, showing a hint of domineering on her beautiful face.
"So, don't think that you are the pearl of the big family in the capital, I think your father is a person who is about to enter the palace and be favored, and you will definitely see clearly which one you should choose, right? What's more, you daughters aren't the only ones in your family. Jiang Xinyu sat down again. But the eyes really didn't let go of the ladies in the room.
"You are not yet married, so what you are doing now is about your reputation." Jiang Xinyu picked up the cup handed over by Xiao Rou, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and sighed comfortably, the name of the first teahouse in the capital is really not for nothing.
"The woman who chews the root of her tongue when others are away, you must know that this place is not the only one of us, if it really spreads to the capital, there shouldn't be anything good, right?" Lightly swept the women who were talking about themselves at the beginning, Jiang Xinyu looked at the faces of those women The face was very strange, and there was a slight trembling, maybe he regretted his quick mouth just now.
During this period of time, she could feel the appreciative eyes of Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle on her, Zhuo Tianfeng was not mistaken, she had the same pride as Mo Nishang and Zhao Changle, but she did not do anything because of this pride, but gained two good friends.
Also from such the same pride, she can't tolerate someone to say herself so clearly, after she was contracted by Nangong Tianxia, she also understood that there was no hope of escape, so she made an oath to herself, except for Nangong Tian's blood contract, she would not allow herself to be wronged a little, nor would she tolerate her own people to be wronged.
