Chapter 49: The farce of the beggar festival
Mrs. Shangshu was thus imprisoned and confined.
Although the one-month closure was not long, it was extremely difficult for Mrs. Shangshu.
After Xi Qingyan begged for her mother's dowry, Mrs. Shangshu originally planned to show her face in front of many ladies at the begging festival, and then used the mouths of those people to smear Xi Qingyan's behavior of begging for dowry, and then made Xi Qingyan have to spit out the dowry she had swallowed before.
Unexpectedly, this time, Mrs. Shangshu lost her wife and broke her soldiers.
Not only was she unable to bring down Xi Qingyan, but she was also locked up by her husband.
"Mother, tomorrow is the Begging Festival, you can't even step out of the house now, otherwise your daughter will be at home with your mother to relieve your boredom."
Xi Chuyu was very unhappy with his mother's eyebrows, so he was very filial to accompany his mother.
"Chu Yu, what stupid thing are you kidding? Do you know how important the Begging Festival is to you?"
"Xi Chuyu, listen to me, the good years of my daughter's family are not a few years, if you don't know how to cherish it, do you want to see your mother being bullied by Xi Qingyan's little cheap hooves for the rest of your life?"
Mrs. Shangshu was already angry, but after hearing Xi Chuyu's words, she directly became furious.
Her daughter is still too young!
In the past, she protected Chu Yu's daughter too well, so that Xi Chuyu didn't know that the world outside was sinister.
If Xi Chuyu had been so simple, he would definitely not be the opponent of Xi Qingyan's little cheap hooves full of flowers!
"Mother is already a half-aged who is a wife, and this life can only be like this, but, Chu Yu, you are different from your mother, you are still young, and you still have a lot of youth!"
"My daughter is so beautiful, how can she be buried in the backyard of Shangshu Mansion!"
Mrs. Shangshu held Xi Chuyu's cheek, looked at her daughter's delicate face like a flower, and praised her.
"Chu Yu, don't take care of me, although my mother is now locked up by your father, as long as you have a chance, this Shangshu Mansion will still be the world of our mother and daughter in the future!"
"Xi Qingyan, he's just a disfigured ugly monster, and my daughter, you're no different from her! You're going to be a princess!"
"Chu Yu, you have to know a truth, one person has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven."
"As long as you become the princess, then even if your father explicitly forbids my mother and me to interfere in the family affairs of Shangshufu, as long as your princess and husband open his mouth to say a word for his mother, won't your father still have to obediently let me be the family of Shangshufu at that time?"
"My good daughter, my mother knows that you are a good and filial child, but filial piety is not a moment, if you can marry a royal child on the begging festival, then it is the best filial piety to your mother!"
When Xi Chuyu heard her mother say this, she also understood what her mother really wanted in her heart.
"Mother, don't worry, your daughter will never disgrace you, you just wait to be the prince's mother-in-law!"
"This is my good daughter! Remember, the more you are at this time, the more radiant you will wear! Xi Qingyan's little hoof thought that she had brought down our mother and daughter, but we didn't know that the more we fought, the braver we became!"
"Yes, the daughter is at her mother's behest of everything!"
The person Xi Chuyu admires most in her heart is her mother, so she has always been obedient to her mother's words.
Day 2.
On the day of the Begging Festival.
As soon as Xi Qingyan led the swollen Chun Tao, who had already disappeared from Hanlian Garden, she saw a ball of pink coming towards them in the distance.
When I got closer, I found that it was Xi Chuyu.
Xi Qingyan knew that Xi Chuyu was the most showy, but Xi Chuyu's limelight was a bit too much today.
"Xi Chuyu, are you looking at the autumn day, the flowers are not blooming, and you want to dress yourself up as a flower?"
"You have to take care of it! Xi Qingyan, I can wear it as I like? Are you envious of me
Delicate?"
Xi Chuyu was hateful towards Xi Qingyan.
If it weren't for Xi Qingyan in front of her, her mother would still be Mrs. Shangshu now, and she wouldn't go to the palace with Xi Qingyan in a carriage today!
"Xi Qingyan, let me tell you, with an ugly face like yours, even if you wear all the brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes in the world, it will still make people look away!"
"Whether I wear anything better than Hua Yan is my business, but Xi is light-hearted with you, I want to give you a piece of advice!"
"If I were your dignity, even if someone else carried me in a sedan chair, I wouldn't have the face to appear on the begging festival, because I felt ashamed!"
Xi Chuyu scolded Xi lightly.
How ugly this is to hear, how to say it.
Xi Qingyan was unmoved, she sat and watched Xi Chuyu jump to her feet, originally she thought that seizing the power of Mrs. Shangshu's family would not hit Mrs. Shangshu's mother and daughter enough, but now watching Xi Chuyu barking at her like a mad dog, Xi Qingyan knew that her knife only pierced Mrs. Shangshu's heart.
It's good to be pierced, if it doesn't hit the point, she will really be sad if she is light.
"Xi Chuyu, I don't feel ashamed."
"After all, I'm here to enjoy the palace lanterns of this begging festival, unlike some people, just to meet her sweetheart privately under the palace lanterns!"
After Xi Qingyan deliberately sarcastically mocked Xi Chuyu, he got into the carriage directly.
"Xi Chuyu, if you are in Rory, the Ruyi Langjun in your heart will become the prey of other girls."
"When the time comes, your bamboo basket will be empty, don't cry in public, that will lose the face of our Shangshu Mansion!"
Give somebody a taste of his own medicine.
After Xi Qingyan taunted Xi Chuyu, he boarded the carriage and left.
Xi Chuyu originally wanted to talk to Xi Qingyan more, but when he saw that the hour was really not early, he could only reluctantly get into the car.
The two didn't say a word along the way.
Xi Qingyan didn't like Xi Chuyu in the first place, so she didn't have the desire to talk, she flipped through the medical skills she carried with her, and then closed her eyes and rested.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss has arrived!"
The carriage traveled for about half an hour before finally arriving at the palace.
Xi Qingyan and Xi Chuyu, under the leadership of the palace maids, came all the way to the palace banquet of the Qiqiao Festival.
"I've seen Concubine Dong, Concubine Jiang."
Xi Qingyan took a look, she knew both of them, the last time she was in a hurry, she already knew what kind of person the other party was with this Dong Guifei, but as for this Concubine Jiang, she knew very little.
However, this Dong Guifei brings Concubine Jiang with her every time, and those who don't know think that she is really a sister with Concubine Jiang on the side.
In fact, the reason why Dong Guifei brings Concubine Jiang every time is purely to elevate herself by taking advantage of the unfavored Concubine Jiang.
Dong Guifei's little caution was all written on her face.
"Miss Shangshufu, please get up quickly, this palace suddenly had a serious illness that day, thanks to the eldest lady of Shangshufu who found the Divine Doctor Valley Master!"
"This palace would like to thank the eldest lady for saving her life."
"I heard that the eldest lady is now the person in charge of Shangshu Mansion, and sure enough, the eldest lady is not good-looking, those sons and brothers who used to be in Sheng Kyoto were blind, and they didn't find that the eldest lady had such good skills!"
Dong Guifei didn't know why, and suddenly became enthusiastic at Xi.
At the last palace banquet, Concubine Dong still ignored her, and suddenly she was so enthusiastic, Xi Qingyan was very unaccustomed to it.
"Where, let the concubine laugh at it, the courtiers are not good-looking, if they don't have any other talents, then they will really become the waste of Sheng Kyoto."
Xi replied with a smile on his face.
Because she knew that Concubine Dong Guifei praised her on the surface, but in fact, Fang Cai's liking didn't sound much better than scolding her.
What does it mean that a man should not be disfigured?
Isn't this just saying that she is an ugly person?
This Dong Guifei thought that she had lowered her posture enough, but in fact, her words and deeds put her own high.
Xi Qingyan hates such people the most.
"Miss Xi, everyone says that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, it is already a very remarkable thing that you can manage the affairs of Shangshu Mansion well."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xi Qingyan's voice fell, Concubine Jiang on the side actually spoke for her.
"The housekeeper's business is small and big, so being able to manage a family well is really hard to come by for a daughter's family of your age."
is also a compliment, this Concubine Jiang's words are much more pleasant to the ear than Dong Guifei's yin and yang weird words.
"Concubine Jiang praised it falsely, and the courtiers only thought about managing the affairs of the family and sharing the worries of their parents because they were idle."
Although Xi Qingyan felt that Concubine Jiang was slightly more amiable than Concubine Dong, the fact that she was able to live under Concubine Dong showed that he must have some skills.
"Miss Xi, don't say that, Miss Xi is good enough, so that Lord Shangshu Xi can rest assured that Shangshu Mansion will be in your hands."
"Sister Fang Cai Guifei also said, Miss Xi, you are acquainted with the valley master of the Divine Doctor Valley, everyone in this world knows that the valley master of the Divine Doctor Valley is a brilliant character, and now, Miss Xi and the Divine Doctor Valley Lord are acquainted, naturally the eldest lady must not be an ordinary daughter!"
Concubine Jiang's praise poured out one by one.
Listening to these words, Xi Qingyan was very puzzled.
At the last palace banquet, she didn't have much conversation with this Concubine Jiang, and her light face was also notorious in Kyoto, Concubine Jiang was a harem concubine, so eager for her, the head of the table here always felt a little awkward.
"Courtier Xi Chuyu, I've seen two mothers! Concubine Niangniang Wan'an, Concubine Jiang Niangniang Wan'an!"
Xi Qingyan was still thinking about Concubine Jiang's intention to suddenly say so many good things to her, and Xi Chuyu on the side couldn't help but come out.
Because she just can't stand it!
In the past, no matter what the occasion was, it was she Xi Chuyuyan who overwhelmed the crowd, so she was the focus of attention.
Why did Xi Qingyan, an ugly monster, steal her limelight today? Couldn't they have seen how radiant she Xi Chuyu was dressed today?
The unwillingness and resentment in Xi Chuyu's heart increased little by little, until she couldn't bear it anymore, Xi Chuyu could only say hello to the two mothers again.
It's just that Xi Chuyu's greeting voice is too loud, and not only that, but her demeanor is also a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, as soon as her voice fell, whether it was Concubine Dong Guifei or Concubine Jiang in front of her, they were all stunned.
"Hahahahaha......"
When Xi Chuyu was embarrassed to find a hole to get into, someone suddenly laughed loudly, this was obviously a mockery of Xi Chuyu, she just wanted to see who it was, and she was almost scared to death when she turned her head.
"Courtier...... Xi Chuyu...... Ever seen...... I've seen Your Majesty!"
Xi Chuyu was so frightened that the seven souls flew six souls, and she almost wanted to scold, but now she was only glad that she didn't really scold.
