Wei Jin'er didn't know why she was asking this, but it wasn't a secret, she said:

"Among the three sons born to Mrs. Mu, Mu Shilang is the most amazing, famous since he was a child, he was in the middle of the Yuan at the age of thirteen, and then he wanted to try Chunqiu, but was stopped by Mrs. Mu, saying that he was still young, and he had to go out to experience and experience. Mu Shilang left for three years, and when he was about to come back, Mrs. Mu asked her concubine Mu Erlang, that is, Mu Yao's father, to pick him up, but who knew that something happened on the way, and Mu Yao's father desperately escaped back. Old Madam Mu complained that he didn't save Mu Shilang and only cared about running for his own life, so she always blamed her in her heart."

Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that I can't blame Second Master Mu for this, why does Old Madam Mu hate him to this point?"

Wei Jin'er shook her head, "Then I don't know. Maybe there's nowhere to blame, right? After all, Mu Shilang is the youngest son, the most favored, in the heart of Old Madam Mu, I am afraid that she is willing to exchange her life for the life of her younger son, but as a result, Second Master Mu abandoned him and ran back alone, which is enough to be a reason to be disgusted."

"Or, does she suspect that Mu Shilang's death is related to Second Master Mu?"

Wei Jin'er lowered her voice and said, "It was once so popular, but General Mu finally made a decision and said no, it's not, what can others say?"

Li Qingyi knew the doorway of this, and said, "No matter how good Mu Shilang is, he is no longer there, if he takes a son in, won't he lose more, but Second Master Mu is the son of Old General Mu, but not the son of Old Madam Mu, so Old General Mu doesn't want to pursue it anymore, but Old Madam Mu has always been angry."

Wei Jin'er asked, "My sister asked about the Mu family, is there someone in the Mu family who is unfavorable to my sister?"

"That's not true, it's this snow feast, Mu Yao and Wei Lan'er made an appointment to go together."

"Did Wei Yao bring it up?"

Wei Jin'er asked, and when she saw Li Qingyi nodding, she couldn't help but say, "Sister, it's better not to take it lightly, those few in the Mu family are not fuel-efficient lamps. Mu Ying is the most favored because Mu Guifei dotes on her, and the four princes favor her. In fact, she is not the most top-notch girl in the Mu family. In addition to those who have already come out of the cabinet, the three girls in the long room, that is, Mu Ying's own sister, and the twin sisters in the third room, in my opinion, are all better than Mu Ying."

Li Qingyi knew that she was deliberately reminding herself who to pay attention to, and she couldn't help but feel complicated.

In her previous life, did Wei Jin'er have many misunderstandings with her, just like the county lord of Yuanheng?

"Okay, thanks for telling me, I see."

Wei Jin'er just smiled when she heard this, and got up to see Li Qingyi leave.

*****

On the day of the banquet, Wei Jin'er suddenly changed her mind and said that she wanted to go with them.

Li Qingyi didn't care, Wei Laner wanted to ask a few words, but because his mother, Lord Yuanheng, was next to him, he was embarrassed to speak.

The three of them were ready early, just waiting for Mu Yao to come over, and a few people followed the county lord of Yuanheng to Fanghua Palace.

But left and right, there was no shadow of Mu Yao.

Wei Lan'er frowned, "It can't be that something happened, right?"

As he spoke, Mu Yao's carriage arrived.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saluted Li Qingyi and the three of them, "Sorry, three sisters, I'm late."

Although Mu Yao didn't seem to be fine, Li Qingyi still saw a little embarrassment in her expression.

It seems that someone in the Mu family has stumbled on her?

"It's good that you're here, but it's only a little late, nothing."

Mu Yao glanced at Li Qingyi, who was smiling, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The county lord of Yuanheng took Wei Jin'er and Li Qingyi in a carriage, and Mu Yao got into Wei Lan'er's carriage, and before getting into the carriage, he forgot to look at Li Qingyi.

The county lord of Yuanheng noticed it, and after getting in the car, he asked Li Qingyi, "This Mu Jiu seems to care about you very much."

Li Qingyi said, "It's a little bit, but I haven't figured out what she means yet."

The county lord of Yuanheng frowned: "It won't be that one Mu Ying is dead, and another Mu Yao is coming!"

"Probably not, Mu Yao herself and Mu Ying are not here

On the contrary, she is likely to be on the opposite side of Mu Ying, and it is precisely because of this that she pays special attention to my affairs."

"Anyway, be careful."

Wei Jin'er couldn't help but say, "I don't know what happened to Mu Yao early in the morning? Although her father is not treated by Mrs. Mu, she is also a concubine, so she doesn't have a good sister, right? Why do you want to go with us?"

Li Qingyi said: "The concubine is not much better than the concubine, and she is not treated at the root, so what good situation can she have? Besides, Mrs. Mu's snub to the second room is so obvious, who would dare to touch this mold?"

"The third girl Mu that I mentioned to my sister that day, and the twin sisters in the third room, also went to Fanghua Palace last time, I don't know if my sister still has an impression."

Li Qingyi nodded and asked rhetorically, "What is your impression of them?"

Wei Jin'er said: "That Mu San is a cold beauty, everyone has a cold face when I see her, I don't know much about her, but the twins, said to be twins, are actually five points similar, but they all wear the same clothes when they come back, so they are particularly conspicuous. The slightly older seventh girl, Mu Wan, looks soft, gentle and gentle, while the eighth girl, Mu Yan, is more innocent."

"Do you think Mu Wan is a good-natured person?"

Wei Jin'er blinked, "Isn't it? Everyone has a few who can or can't get along, only Mu Wan, the noble girl in the capital, didn't say that she was bad. Even if I was a little jealous of her appearance and status, I didn't dare to say anything bad about her face, otherwise, I would be despised by that person himself."

Li Qingyi shook his head and said, "It's not a simple thing to be able to manage the people around you like this, where can Mu Wan be a character who is not successful and difficult to grasp, it is obviously unfathomable."

Wei Jin'er suddenly, "Without Mu Ying, Mu Wan and Mu Yan will be particularly conspicuous in the Mu family, and their father is so powerful."

General Mu Xiao at the beginning is now also in his thirties and forties, and he has several children.

But at this age, it's the best time for a man.

At the beginning of the year, everyone arrived at Fanghua Palace.

This banquet was more lively than the last time, because the eldest princess of Deqing set up many competitions, and everyone could win the lottery through the competition.

The county lord of Yuanheng was naturally in one place with a group of noblewomen, and Li Qingyi and the four of them went to the eldest princess to say goodbye, and then went to the garden.

There are many competitions in the garden, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even pot throwing and archery.

If you feel that you are interested in something, you can participate in the competition.

Li Qingyi had no intention of participating, but as soon as she entered the garden, she attracted the attention of many people.

The last time Li Qingyi came to Fanghua Palace, everyone was talking about her appearance and staying in the Wei Mansion.

This time it was different, not only did the old trees sprout in the Xuandehou Mansion, but Li Yong also became the prince and young master, which made Li Qingyi's fame soar to a high level among the nobles in Beijing.

In the capital, only appearance is not enough, even if you look like a fairy, if you don't have a matching family background, you won't be taken seriously.

As a result, many people's attitudes towards her have changed. Those who had a few words of conversation last time stepped forward to greet her.

Li Qingyi responded one by one, whether it was manners or momentum, he did not lose anyone.

There are also some people who are watching from the wall, and their eyes are looking at Li Qingyi unscrupulously, as if they want to see a hole in her before stopping.

There was a commotion, and Li Qingyi was also forced to join the competition.

Each item has a special person to evaluate, and these people are naturally invited by the eldest princess of Deqing, and each of them is a leader.

If you can stand out among the crowd and win a good reputation, you will be praised by Mr.

Even if the background is not too high, even if it is a concubine, the situation will change, and it is not a problem to get a good reputation. Even those proud women of the sky who don't need to care about this matter take every competition very seriously for this praise and in order to overpower others.

The scene in front of me is to paint.

Everyone slowly traced it on the rice paper in front of them.

Li Qingyi didn't care much about the competition in his heart, and without thinking too much, he took the pen and ink, ready to start.

Her action immediately attracted a lot of attention from all around, some curious and some contemptuous. Obviously, there is news about her, and everyone has also inquired about it.

She really didn't learn to paint.

Just because you didn't study hard doesn't mean you didn't study well.

Calligraphy and painting not only pay attention to the foundation, but also pay attention to the shape and spirit.

Her grandfather had a collection of countless treasures, all of which were the best of the best. In this way, her vision is higher than that of ordinary people, and her taste is there, so naturally it will not be low. Although her paintings have not been practiced hard, the shape and meaning are a little worse, but the charm is good.

It's just that I haven't painted for a long time, and my hands are a little raw, and the ladies around me are inevitably a little ridiculed when they see her on the left and on the right at the beginning.

However, when the gentleman came to their side to check them one by one, and then nodded to Li Qingyi and said, "It's not bad", everyone was a little surprised.

Just now, Mu Wan's paintings were only evaluated as "solid foundation, not enough agility......

This female gentleman, but even the eldest princess has to praise the "national hand", and she actually thinks that Li Qingyi draws well?

Someone said, "Looking at Miss Li's appearance, it doesn't look like she often paints, but she can be praised by her husband, she must be very talented, why don't you show us all the paintings, what kind of masterpieces they are?"

Li Qingyi raised his head and his gaze fell on the person who was speaking in front of him.

With bright eyes and bright teeth, skin as white as snow, she is a beautiful girl with a cold expression.

It turned out that Mu Ying's sister, Mu Lan, the third girl of Mu Mansion.

None of the people in the Mu family are fuel-efficient lamps.

At this time, Mu Lan's Danfeng eyes were slightly raised, her lips were raised, and she seemed to be smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, which made people dare not see her eyes.

However, those who dare not look at it are, of course, not Li Qingyi.

She looked directly at the cold beauty in front of her and smiled slightly: "Why not, since you want to see it, just look at it."

Having said that, she didn't move.

She wouldn't just take the painting and send it to them, if she wanted to see it, she would come forward herself!

Mu Lan's face was a little ugly.

Several ladies who had a close relationship with her were standing beside Mu Lan at this time, and they also looked at Li Qingyi coldly, quite overwhelming.

Li Qingyi was still unmoved, and looked at them for a long time.

The meaning is obvious: you said you wanted to see it, and I agreed, but I didn't serve you, so I would come by myself if I wanted to see it!
