Chapter 44: The Birthday Banquet (Part II)
Feng Wanshang stepped forward in time to salute, "The Feng family's evening clothes have seen Mrs. ”
Mrs. Gu smiled gently and beckoned to Feng Wansheng, "Good boy, come and show me." ”
Gu Wenyin smiled on the side and said, "Mother, what I said, is it a fairy sister?" You didn't believe it before, but now you see that real people believe it, right? ”
Mrs. Gu glared at him, "You talk a lot." ”
Gu Wenyin stopped talking.
Mrs. Gu looked at Feng Wanshang, although her appearance was in her eyes, her phoenix eyes were extremely clear and bright, and she was a good child at first glance. Mrs. Gu was already a little embarrassed, and when she saw Feng Wanshang at this time, she was even more happy in her heart.
"Sure enough, it's a beautiful child."
Feng Wanshang lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, her fair cheeks were dyed with a faint flush, showing her shy side.
Mrs. Gu nodded secretly in her heart, although she is a businessman, but she is very standardized, no wonder His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the eldest princess are good friends with her, even the eldest son of her own family, after meeting her, also said good things for her, not to mention that she has been unpretentious to other noble girls, but sticking to her youngest son.
However, this harmonious scene was very dazzling in the eyes of other nobles.
At this time, a girl with a slightly immature face said innocently: "Mrs. Gu, I don't know whose sister this is, I have never seen it?" If you knew that there was such a good-looking sister in the capital, I'm afraid it would be spread all over the city! ”
Gu Wenyin's eyes were slightly cold, although he really didn't pay attention, but he knew these twists and turns very well! Isn't this just a satire that Sister Feng's family background is not good?
The smile on Mrs. Gu's face also faded a little, and she said in a light tone: "This is the eldest princess's handkerchief Jiaofeng girl, it's normal that you haven't seen it." ”
The girl's face immediately turned ugly, although Mrs. Gu's words did not point out the identity of Feng Wansheng, but it implied that their identity was not enough, and they were not worthy of knowing the identity of others. Even if Feng Wansheng's family background is really not obvious, the identity of an eldest princess handkerchief is enough to deter them. If they mock Feng Wanshang, aren't they laughing at the eldest princess! Today's eldest princess has always been very arbitrary, and if she knows, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
Feng Wanshang stood quietly in place, as if they were not talking about her, Feng Wansheng's eyes were full of contempt, this little trick was also taken out, it was really stupid, what kind of character Mrs. Gu was, how could she not see these little tricks!
At this time, another girl came out to play the round.
"I heard about the lady's birthday banquet, Ruohan specially embroidered an orchid picture to congratulate the lady on the birthday banquet."
The maid next to her unfolded the embroidery, and the orchid was indeed embroidered vividly, and an ethereal meaning appeared, but it got a bit of charm.
Mrs. Gu nodded with satisfaction, "Ruohan has a heart." ”
Lin Ruohan smiled slightly, "It's good if Madame likes it." Lin Ruohan offered his birthday gift and stepped aside, but he glanced at Feng Wanshang, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
The rest of the nobles also took this opportunity to present their birthday gifts, all kinds of curiosities, everything.
Feng Wanshang glanced at it, the first girl who came out just now, there was something thoughtful in her phoenix eyes, Ruohan, could it be Lin Ruohan? The daughter of the former Taifu who adopted Wen Fuxuan? I didn't expect to meet here. Feng Wanshang lowered her head and thought there. As everyone knows, this appearance falls in the eyes of others, and it is a look of shame because they can't get a birthday gift or don't prepare a birthday gift.
Some people have long been unaccustomed to Feng Wanshang's face that took away all the grace as soon as she came in, and Mrs. Gu helped her speak later, which aroused their hostility even more. So now someone can't wait to jump out and say: "Our birthday gifts have been offered, I don't know what birthday gifts this sister has prepared?" ”
Feng Wanshang came back to her senses, her phoenix eyes swept lightly, glanced at the person who spoke just now, and gestured to Duchun and Handong behind her.
Mu Chun understood and took out the head face that he had created before.
Feng Wanshang said: "This is specially prepared for Mrs., I know that Mrs. loves orchids, and when I see Mrs. today, I feel that Mrs. has the cleanliness of orchids, and this set of jewelry is more suitable for Mrs. ”
Mrs. Gu looked at it, her eyes were full of love, this set of heads and faces are all made of orchids, each style is unique and exquisite, it is indeed extremely rare, it seems that it is with thought.
"I don't know who designed this set of heads, but the mind is extremely exquisite?"
Feng Wanshang pursed her lips and was silent, and Mu Chun answered: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, this set of heads is from the hands of my young lady." It was the young lady who drew the pattern and then found a craftsman to create it. ”
Mrs. Gu nodded, "I have a heart for the evening." ”
Feng Wanshang said with a smile: "Don't worry, madam, I still have a congratulatory gift." ”
At this time, Handong brought in two pots of orchids from outside.
"That's the real gift."
When Mrs. Gu saw it, she stood up excitedly, and couldn't wait to step forward to take a closer look.
"This, this is Su Guanheding?"
Feng Wanshang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Madame, good eyesight." Sure enough, Madame is the real person who loves Lan. ”
"I'm afraid these two strains are worth a thousand gold, right?"
"This thing is worthless in the hands of people like me who don't understand orchids, and only in the hands of people who love orchids like Mrs. can it really play its value." Feng Wanshang didn't care about it.
Mrs. Gu really loves orchids, so she is so out of shape when she sees the best of these orchids, and Feng Wanshang's words are extremely ironing, which makes her feel very comfortable.
"You have to come to accompany me more in the future, it's rare to see such a very close child."
Feng Wanshang bowed and said with a smile: "As long as Mrs. doesn't feel bothered, Wanshang should accompany her." ”
Gu Wenyin added with a smile on the side: "Mother, let me tell you, you can go with me to find Sister Feng in the future." Sister Feng is so delicious. ”
Mrs. Gu bent her fingers and knocked on Gu Wenyin, "You, are you still young?" I just thought about eating. ”
Gu Wenyin said aggrievedly: "But all the things I brought back before were eaten by you!" ”
Mrs. Gu was exposed by her unconscious little son, her face was slightly red, she faked coughing twice, and glared at him fiercely.
At this time, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the banquet has begun outside, and the lord invites you to the table." ”
Mrs. Gu pulled Feng Wanshang, "Look at me, I forgot the time when I chatted, and I delayed everyone's seating!" Let's go! Let's not miss the hour. ”
The ladies and ladies of the families should be one after another.
Mrs. Gu pulled Feng Wanshang, "Wanshang, you can sit with me!" ”
Feng Wanshang hesitated, "Madam, I'm afraid this is not in line with etiquette!" Feng Wanshang knew that Mrs. Gu had good intentions, and she was afraid that she would be excluded by that group of little girls. But Feng Wanshang actually didn't care about those people at all, just relying on the methods of those little girls, it was not enough for her to take it seriously.
Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Today's birthday, I am the oldest, so naturally I am in charge." ”
"Madame doesn't have to be like this, it's okay for me, let me sit in those young lady's seats!"
Mrs. Gu saw that there was no reluctance on Feng Wanshang's face, she hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, this Feng girl is the owner of Qixian Pavilion, and she is not a simple person when she thinks about it, it is estimated that those little girls did not pay attention to it at all.
"Alright! Be careful with everything that night. ”
"Madame, don't worry!"
Everyone was seated in order. Feng Wanshang stood aside, didn't fight, and saw an empty seat walking over.
Seeing this, the little girl who was the first to fight against the wind in the house just now rolled her eyes and slapped directly on the seat, "I'm sorry, there's someone here." ”
The rest of the ladies and ladies are also looking like watching a good show.
Feng Wanshang didn't even have the slightest embarrassment and anger on her face, but her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled playfully: "This young lady, are you sure there are people here?" ”
"Naturally!"
Feng Wanshang nodded and said innocently: "Then it seems that I can only go to Mrs. Gu and ask to see where I can still sit!" ”
"You!"
The girl reluctantly withdrew her hand and snorted coldly.
Feng Wanshang's eyes were cold, "So I'll ask again now, is there anyone in this place?" ”
The girl looked at Shangfeng's evening clothes, and she was scared for no reason, shrunk for a moment, and subconsciously said, "No, no one." ”
Feng Wanshang retracted her cold gaze, the corners of her lips curled, and she changed back to her previous gentle appearance, and sat down with Shi Shiran.
The girl just now saw that Feng Wanshang retracted her gaze, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, that glance just now made her feel like falling into an ice cellar, and now she was still afraid, and she didn't dare to provoke Feng Wanshang again.
Feng Wanshang sat down and felt the casual scrutiny of the others at the table. Feng Wanshang didn't care, as soon as she raised her eyes, she met the gaze of the person sitting opposite her. Lin Ruohan smiled softly at her. Feng Wanshang pouted with a shallow smile, which was counted as a response, but she couldn't stop sneering in her heart, it seems that this Lin Ruohan is not a simple little white flower, and the disgust and malice hidden in this seemingly soft gaze are about to condense into substance. It's just that Feng Wanshang can't figure out why, today is just the first time the two have met, is it because of their appearance that they are so jealous? I don't understand, Feng Wanshang didn't take it to heart, she didn't pay attention to the malice of these little girls at all, after all, they usually couldn't touch her at all.
At this time, Feng Wanshang obviously couldn't imagine that this person she didn't care about would find her a lot of trouble after that, and even endangered her life.
At the beginning of the banquet, Feng Wanshang moved a few chopsticks, and then stopped moving. His gaze wandered around casually, fixed on a figure. It was a young man, dressed in a purple brocade robe, with delicate embroidered patterns on the cuffs, but the patterns seemed faintly familiar.
And what made Feng Wanshang pay special attention was that the man was sitting next to Gu Qinghe, who seemed to have a very good relationship with Gu Qinghe, and his face was covered with half a silver mask, even if he was at the banquet now, he didn't take it off, and Gu Qinghe obviously didn't mind. That's a bit peculiar.
While Feng Wanshang was staring at others, she didn't know that someone was staring at herself.
