Chapter 139: Hold a Banquet
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu came back to his senses, answered, walked over and washed his face to sober himself up.
There is a wind blowing, the air is sweet and greasy flowers, there is no incense in the room, the smell blows in, it belongs to the smell of nature, which makes people feel a little better.
After eating, Shi Miaoyu leaned on the soft couch to read.
No one is looking for trouble these days, Shi Miaorou got married, Qiu Yingyao was busy with the baby, as for the Wang family, the old lady had fought with her a few times, and she couldn't bargain every time, and now she was even more out of sight and out of mind, so she was spared from asking for peace.
Shi Miaoyu couldn't ask for it, and his life was extremely comfortable.
It's just that she didn't want to, so she thought of this, and saw Caihe walk in from outside the door, frowned, and said, "Miss, Aunt Qiu has invited more than ten ladies of the family, saying that she is coming to the house to enjoy the flowers, please come over with your wife." ”
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu's hand turned the page of the book slightly, and said, "Just say I don't have time." ”
When she said this, she thought of her mother again, and was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, so she said, "Forget it, come and help me change my clothes, and I'll go to my mother's place." ”
After Shi Miaoyu went, it was very unusual to see Lin Yanran sitting in the room embroidery, with a calm and stable face.
She immediately relieved her heart and said with a smile: "What is Mother embroidering?"
Compared with her hard-to-see embroidery, Lin Yanran's embroidery is exceptionally good. This is only half of the embroidery, and the lotus flowers on it have already jumped on it, and it seems that they can all give off a fragrance.
Seeing her coming, Lin Yanran evoked a gentle smile and said, "I see that your purse is a little old, make a new one for you." "Even if these things can be done by others, Lin Yanran does it herself, and she always wants to come in person to rest assured that she will give her daughter something.
The smile in Shi Miaoyu's eyes remained unchanged, and she snuggled next to her and said coquettishly: "It's still my mother who is careful, I haven't paid attention to it." When she said this, she said casually: "Yes, Aunt Qiu just sent someone to let me go to the backyard to accompany the guests, and my mother can get a letter?"
Hearing this, Lin Yanran frowned and said, "She also went looking for you?"
She originally thought that the next person was just here to invite herself, but she didn't want to invite Shi Miaoyu as well.
Shi Miaoyu nodded, and then heard Lin Yanran say: "Don't pay attention to her, the people invited today are all people who Qiu Yingyao is good friends with, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, and it is not suitable for the past." ”
Over the years, Qiu Yingyao has replaced her in the house, and many noblewomen in Beijing have befriended her, but they are very alienated from themselves.
Lin Yanran didn't care about this, but in today's situation, she didn't want to see her daughter wronged in the past.
After all, those people have a good relationship with Qiu Yingyao, and they may not use their daughter as a raft.
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu smiled more and more with crooked eyebrows: "I listen to my mother." ”
It's just that she has the heart to stay away from those rights and wrongs, but Fei will come to the door by herself.
Not long after, a grandmother from Wang's side came and said, "The old lady said to ask the lady to come over with the eldest lady." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yanran was about to refuse, but she heard Shi Miaoyu ask, "What did Grandmother ask us to do?"
Didn't the Wang family feel annoyed when he saw her these days, wishing he couldn't see himself, why did the sun come out of the west today?
Hearing this, the smile on the grandmother's face remained unchanged, and even said with a little flattery: "Miss Hui, because of the ladies who came to the Marquis of Dingyuan and the Cheng'en Mansion today, the old lady said that there are too many distinguished guests, if the master mother does not show up, I am afraid that outsiders will talk about our family's gossip." ”
There is some truth in this, but Shi Miaoyu is not ready to give her this face.
She pondered it for a while and said, "Just say that I'm not feeling well, and my mother will take care of me and won't go." ”
The grandmother looked embarrassed, looked at Lin Yanran again and said, "Madam, you ......"
Seeing her uneasy look, Lin Yanran also hesitated, because she said: "You go back first, if there is nothing to do later, I will go over." ”
When the grandmother left, Lin Yanran was a little entangled.
If there were only Qiu Yingyao's good friends, she wouldn't mind anything. But listening to the meaning of the grandmother, a few of the people who came today were distinguished guests, and according to the rules, she should take Shi Miaoyu to see her.
Otherwise, it would be unruly to make people laugh.
The joke is still secondary, but if Shi Miaoyu's marriage with King Anling is completed, then it will be necessary to see these people again.
Lin Yanran thought for a long time before calling Zizhu and asked, "Where are they?"
Zizhu had already inquired about these clearly, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hui, Aunt Qiu and the old lady took the ladies to enjoy the flowers in the backyard pavilion." ”
Because Qiu Yingyao likes flowers, in addition to the flowers and fruit trees in the four seasons, there are seasonal flower bonsai in this back garden.
Hearing this, Lin Yanran nodded, looked back at Shi Miaoyu and said, "Miaoyu, why don't I accompany you to sit down?"
She had the heart not to let Shi Miaoyu go, and she was afraid that those noblewomen would listen to Qiu Yingyaohun and question Shi Miaoyu's character, which would be very unfavorable for her to marry King Anling in the future.
After all, the name of the daughter's family is the most important.
Let Shi Miaoyu show her face, it can be regarded as showing her face.
Seeing Lin Yanran's appearance, Shi Miaoyu didn't understand? Immediately smiled: "Mother, let's rest in the room, I will go over by myself." ”
She knew that her mother had always disliked this kind of socializing, so she should go by herself.
Hearing this, Lin Yanran was a little worried: "Can you go over by yourself, my mother always feels that my heart is not very comfortable." ”
This Qiu Yingyao is not good at raising a baby in the room, but she wants to have a banquet, and she also invited these dignitaries, is there any way to ruin her daughter's reputation?
Shi Miaoyu smiled slightly, and said comfortably: "Mother, don't worry, am I so easy to bully?"
I'm afraid that there will be no good banquet today, Qiu Yingyao wants to let herself go over so actively, I'm afraid that there is some unsightly purpose. That's why she wants Lin Yanran to stay in the room and go for a while.
Lin Yanran couldn't resist her, so she had to tell her a thousand times, and after Shi Miaoyu left, she instructed Zizhu again: "You go and watch the back garden, if there is any news, come back and report to me immediately." ”
At this time, the mother and daughter would not have thought that today's banquet would cause such a big turmoil.
......
Before arriving at the back garden, I heard a burst of laughter inside, Shi Miaoyu looked from afar, and saw that in the pavilion surrounded by various flower pots, there were more than ten noble women, and the fragrance of flowers in the air was mixed with the fragrance of rouge and gouache, which made Shi Miaoyu frown slightly.
The Wang family is the oldest in this group, although Muyang Houfu has declined, but she is also a first-class destiny in the end, and she has always regarded herself as an official.
At this time, he was coaxed by a few younger women, and the smile on his face was so intense.
