Chapter Ninety-Six: Not as Good as She
When Song Qian followed him to the front hall, he saw the prepared wine table, and wanted to sit in the corner, but he didn't want to wait for him to sit down, but he was stopped by Fuhe: "Shopkeeper Song, you should sit here."
As Fuhe's figure opened slightly sideways, Song Qian saw the seat next to Ji Changye, who was in the main seat, that was the deputy seat, and it should be Wu Heyi who really had an identity to sit there here.
Not only others, but even Song Qian himself didn't expect that he didn't dare to move forward easily in the same place.
Zhao Liuyin originally wanted to sit in that position, but she didn't want to see Fu He actually treat Song Qian as a guest and let her sit in the deputy seat, next to Ji Changye, so she hurriedly said, "Lord Prefect, you better sit down quickly."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled out the chair in the sub-chair, and the meaning was self-evident. Fu He frowned slightly, feeling that this Zhao Liuyin was working against him.
Of course, Wu Heyi had the foresight, knowing that Fuhe would not easily break the rules, and guessed that Song Qian and Ji Changye had a lot to do with it, so he didn't want to be easily offended, so he sat down on the seat next to Ji Changye on the other side.
Fuhe let go of his hanging heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also worried that Wu Heyi wouldn't be able to see anything.
Wan Qiu stood in an inconspicuous position early, and arranged the ingots in a position next to her, intending to take care of them. It seems to be saying that let Song Qian have a good meal, and the ingots will be handed over to themselves, and the ingots themselves are also very happy.
Seeing that he was chasing ducks to the shelves, Song Qian was very hesitant.
At this time, Ji Changye looked at her, and was also looking forward to what choice she would make next, perhaps worried that she would not sit next to her, so he coughed lightly and said, "Song Niangzi, let's sit down quickly, don't wait for the dishes to be cold."
In this way, Song Qian had nothing to say that she would not sit here, she had no choice but to sit next to Ji Changye, and sure enough, just sitting down made her feel uncomfortable and very uncomfortable.
But Ji Changye was in a good mood, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up, which made Changfeng who was waiting on the side very satisfied.
The others did not dare to delay and hurriedly sat down.
Zhao Liuyin reluctantly chose the position opposite Ji Changye, originally thinking about flirting with his eyebrows, but he didn't want Ji Changye to look at her at all, as if he didn't exist.
The concubine was dared to go to the corner, even if she wanted to beg Wu Heyi, it was impossible, after all, if she lost the rules, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, she still understood this.
"Don't be inhibited, just be casual." Although Ji Changye said this, no one dared to be really presumptuous.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Song Qian had no appetite. On the one hand, the reason is that after tossing for so long, I can no longer feel hungry. On the other hand, it was because Ji Changye sat next to him and looked at her from time to time. As if looking at something, she wasn't in the mood to eat at all.
After watching Song Qian move a few chopsticks, there was no movement. Ji Changye thought that the dishes did not suit her taste, so she asked in a low voice, "What does Song Niangzi want to eat?" Tell them to do it."
"Lord Duolao cares, it's not that the folk girl doesn't like to eat these, but now she doesn't feel hungry and has no appetite." Song Qian didn't want to show how special he was, especially outside, so he hurriedly denied it.
Ji Changye had no choice but to take her on his own initiative and order his subordinates to make some other food, and what he said was basically what Song Qian loved to eat on weekdays.
Listening to what he said, Song Qian couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
But soon she brought herself to her senses.
Seeing that the dishes were replaced, Song Qian had some appetite.
Ji Changye also chatted with Wu Heyi with confidence.
At this moment, the concubine didn't know where she came from, so she came to Song Qian with a wine glass and said, "Shopkeeper Song, the concubine respects you, and I hope you don't dislike the concubine's humble status."
She knows how to observe words and feelings, and after knowing that Song Qian is not simple, she wants to step forward and stammer.
Song Qian was a little confused, and after reacting, he hesitated to pick up the empty wine glass and responded: "How can this be, you think too much, everyone is equal
, except that I don't drink."
She looked at the empty wine glass embarrassedly, thinking that she couldn't refute the kindness of others, and when she was about to replace the wine with tea, Fuhe was shocked when she saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt and said, "Shopkeeper Song, don't take this matter to heart, it's because she has no sense of proportion and doesn't know the rules, don't blame her."
With that, she pulled the concubine aside.
"Madame, you've hurt me." The concubine also felt that she was very aggrieved by Fuhe, and said with some dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders, especially the noble Ji Changye, who was here, I am afraid that this slap would have fallen on her.
Fu He held back his anger and said, "That is the shopkeeper of Song, the person next to the prince, what identity do you have to come forward to toast? Why are you so unruly? It's a shame for my lord and me."
Although Song Qian's identity doesn't seem to be very noble, her ability to have a relationship with Ji Changye and the dignified regent is enough to mean that she is not an ordinary person. So even Wu Heyi and her wanted to come forward to toast, and the set almost had to be thoughtful, how could she, a lowly concubine, dare to break the rules and go rashly?
"Madam, how can you say that you are a concubine like this. The concubine just wants to be close to Song Niangzi, so that she can say good things about the master in front of her." The concubine's mind turned quickly, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to defend herself, and there was a faint reproach in her tone, as if she was very dissatisfied with Fuhe's wronging her.
Song Qian noticed that something was wrong when Fu He took the concubine aside, his eyes glanced here intentionally or unintentionally, and he also heard the conversation between the two people sporadically, but most of them were the voices of the concubine.
She also seems to deliberately want everyone to hear her words, so that she thinks Fuhe is a person who is small and not tolerant of being a housewife.
Hearing her mention Wu Heyi again, Song Qian knew that Fuhe was definitely not the opponent of this concubine.
Sure enough, after the concubine's words fell, Fuhe choked for a while, not knowing or not having the courage to reprimand her for doing this.
Seeing this, the concubine thought she had the upper hand, so she swayed and sat back in her seat.
Fuhe clenched his handkerchief to vent his dissatisfaction, and then sat back helplessly pretending to be nothing.
I thought that after this incident passed, the concubine would be able to restrain herself a little and put her identity right, but I didn't want her to suddenly say: "Lord, lord, the concubine prepared the white fungus lotus seed soup in the kitchen earlier, and I want to drink it in this season, if the prince and Song Niangzi don't dislike it, let's taste it." She deliberately accentuated the tone of the two words herself, and the meaning of it was self-evident.
Because it was premeditated, after her words fell, the people outside heard the movement and walked in with white fungus lotus seed soup. The concubine was not stage frightened, and calmly served a bowl for everyone and put it in front of her.
Wu Heyi looked at the concubine's actions with a smile, and her eyebrows were full of satisfaction, as if she had grown a big face for herself.
But Fuhe's face was extremely pale and very angry.
Because this kind of thing should be done by her, as the wife of the main house, the concubine snatched her affairs, she must have wanted to provoke her status, it was too arrogant.
The others are not stupid either, and they all naturally see it.
Zhao Liuyin knew that the next thing would not be simple, so she planned to watch a good show to see how embarrassed Fuhe could be, who made her sneer at herself and curry favor with Song Qian?
Ji Changye didn't move a bite, but just pushed the bowl forward, thinking that he didn't do as well as Song Qian, and he had ulterior motives, so he didn't want to eat it.
"Don't blame me for being too mouthy, it's just that this lotus seed soup will lose its umami when it is too hot, and the effect of nourishing will be halved, so there is no benefit. Next time, it's better to master some heat. After all, what should be is something, and no one can change anything and ruin good material."
After Song Qian took a sip of lotus seed soup, he frowned slightly and said.
She didn't mean anything else, but the concubine's face changed.
Wu Heyi ate with relish, and flirted with his concubine.
Wanqiu was also upset about Fuhe, and quickly noticed it in her heart, so she called the maid who came to her entourage and whispered a few words.
The maid comprehended and came to Fuhe's side,
told Fuhe what Wanqiu said just now: "Mrs. Prefect, my wife said that this little concubine must be doing this to show herself in front of everyone, if you say or do anything at this time, she will definitely let her grasp the handle and tell right and wrong." So my wife and I told you not to be impatient, after all, you are the wife. She is a lowly concubine, what good upbringing can she have at home?"
The last sentence undoubtedly woke up Fuhe.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Wanqiu on the other side, and the other party immediately gave her a look, as if to say that the next thing was handed over to her, so that Fuhe should not worry, he would definitely help her get angry.
But Fuhe is still a little worried, after all, this concubine is Wu Heyi's favorite, if he has done it, Wu Heyi will definitely feel that he is careful, what if there is an estrangement between the two of them at that time?
This is also to blame herself, she only cares about studying those calligraphy and paintings on weekdays, and doesn't care about the backyard at all, so Wu Heyi will not discuss with her who brings anyone into the house, whose room to sleep in today, and who will reward tomorrow or anything, and over time, her identity as a wife has existed in name only in the eyes of those pampered and arrogant concubines.
Naturally, there is no respect for her.
So just when Fu He'an was worried and was about to stop Wan Qiu, Wan Qiu had already spoken, "Song Niangzi, what you said is useless, after all, my aunt's family has not drunk these things since she was a child, right?"
A good show was staged, but Song Qian was a little unlucky and was forced to join their conversation.
Ji Changye glanced at her worriedly, thinking that after all, it was a family matter, and it was not good for an outsider to intervene, and he had no identity.
But for the sake of Song Qian, he can ignore these.
"If you don't understand, you can learn, as long as my aunt wants to, if you don't dislike it, you can come and ask me." Song Qian thought about it for a long time, and he could only say this so that he wouldn't offend anyone.
The concubine didn't expect Wanqiu to suddenly appear to embarrass herself, knowing that she was not as easy to bully as Fuhe, so she could only pretend to be calm and respond: "What Mrs. County Ling said is right, the concubine didn't eat these good things when she was a child." She was faintly uneasy, afraid that Wanqiu would say something about the family.
Wan Qiu grabbed the handle of the conversation, and said in pursuit: "So a person of your status entered this courtyard, but it is really a blessing from the previous life, and it is a blessing given to you by the prefect and his wife, with this, you can eat this white fungus lotus seed soup, if I am you, you will not forget these."
In and out of the words, she said that her identity was low, if it wasn't for Fuhe and they gave her a chance, she wouldn't have been able to turn over in her life.
The concubine's face was pale at this time, and her tone was a little weaker: "What Mrs. County Ling said is that the kindness of the lord and the lady will be remembered in this life." Speaking of the back, there is still a bit of gnashing of teeth.
