Chapter 204: The Siege of the Crowd
Some daughters were originally instigated by Geng Lanyin, and they came over impulsively for a while, but now after seeing Ji Hanshuang, they undoubtedly retreated.
One of them had the audacity to say to Geng Lanyin, "Miss Geng, why don't we go back, this matter will end here. After all, Mrs. Song didn't do anything to us, so what does it have to do with us." Besides, this Ji Hanshuang attaches great importance to Song Qian, if they go on a business trip, Ji Hanshuang will definitely blame them, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.
Geng Lanyin had already promised Zhao Liuyin, naturally she couldn't give up halfway, even if she wanted to back down now, but she still pretended to be calm and replied: "When the time comes, I will do these things, what are you afraid of? Besides, we are here to prevent the eldest princess from being deceived by people with intentions, how can the eldest princess blame us if she knows the truth? Maybe we'll be rewarded for it. If any of you want to leave, just go, and don't see the eldest princess blushing at the time."
These words made these young ladies hesitate, what kind of gold, silver and jewelry reward is a trivial matter, the important thing is that they can perform in front of the eldest princess Ji Hanshuang, and they may be able to soar when the time comes.
Therefore, under Geng Lanyin's coercion and temptation, many people still chose to stay and prepare to watch the fire from the other side.
At this time, Geng Lanyin became proud, feeling that he had a lot of help, and Song Qian was alone, and the outcome was decided.
At this time, Ji Hanshuang came to the backyard, looked at Song Qian, who was still working, stopped her and said, "Song Niangzi, do you know Geng Lanyin, the daughter of the military department?"
It was the first time Song Qian had heard this name, and he shook his head suspiciously and replied, "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the grass people have never heard of this daughter. But what's the matter? Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, even if she commanded it."
Hearing these words, Ji Hanshuang probably understood something in his heart, so after thinking for a while, he said, "Geng Lanyin took the other daughters to find the princess's mansion, saying that they were looking for you. Princess Ben thought you didn't know them, and now it seems so." Then they came to Song Qian under the pretext of planning what they were going to do.
Song Qian didn't expect that just by showing his face next to Ji Hanshuang, he would cause such a big trouble. But the other party didn't do anything to him, and if he didn't go easily, he might get into some trouble.
So Song Qian put down the things in his hand and asked Ji Hanshuang, "Then according to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, should the grass people go?"
"Go, why not? This princess wants to see what these daughters can do. Go ahead, Princess Ben will help you with anything." Ji Hanshuang's words made Song Qian completely relieved, so the two came to the front hall one after the other.
Geng Lanyin, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly cheered up when they saw that the person finally came, and their eyes fell on Song Qian behind Ji Hanshuang.
Sensing the hostility of the people led by Geng Lanyin towards him, Song Qian had already guessed what would happen next, so he behaved very calmly and stood in front of everyone without arrogance.
Because Ji Hanshuang was still here, Geng Lanyin didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only pretend to say to Ji Hanshuang first, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, for bringing Mrs. Song."
"Miss Geng has something to say, just say something, Mrs. Song still has to manage the affairs of the palace banquet, and she doesn't have much time." When Ji Hanshuang said this, he already made it clear that he didn't want to listen to their nonsense, how could they not hear it, but they could only pretend to be stupid and laugh embarrassedly.
Song Qian took advantage of this gap to carefully observe the expressions of Geng Lanyin and the others, wanting to capture something from them so that he could use it to deal with their next difficulties.
Ji Hanshuang stopped talking, as if to say that he didn't care about these things anymore.
Receiving a cold face from Ji Hanshuang, Geng Lanyin had no choice but to look at Song Qian and said, "Song Niangzi, I have admired my name for a long time, and I finally saw you today."
It is estimated that if Song Qian hadn't come to the imperial capital, I'm afraid Geng Lanyin would never know himself in his life, so this deliberate trick almost made Song Qian a little uncomfortable, but he still replied with a smile: "Miss Geng has won the award, and the grass people are just ordinary people, and there is nothing powerful."
"Song Niangzi, you are so modest, how can someone who can be valued by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess
What about the extraordinary? When you say this, where can we be ashamed of ourselves?" Geng Lanyin suddenly walked to Song Qian's side and pretended to be affectionate and touched Song Qian's shoulder.
Sensing the danger coming, Song Qian quietly took a step back, still respectfully and indifferently replied, "Ladies and ladies are beautiful and intelligent, and they are naturally incomparable to the grass people. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has been able to grace the grass people, which is a blessing for the grass people."
These words made Geng Lanyin unable to find any mistakes, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth angrily, seeing that she had no way to find Song Qian's fork again, Geng Lanyin obviously couldn't sit still.
The other nobles who were following her also began to suspect Geng Lanyin at this time, thinking about whether they should retreat at this time, so as not to continue to ignite the fire.
Song Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, just when she felt that their embarrassment had come to an end, Geng Lanyin suddenly stared at the clothes she was wearing, and then had an idea in her heart, pretending to be surprised and said, "Song Niangzi, your dress seems to be different from ours. Is this the coarse linen garment worn by the women of the streets? We are only a little learned, and we have not seen this kind of clothes yet."
As she spoke, she also pinched Song Qian's sleeves, her eyes full of disgust, as if this was something unpopular.
Song Qian already understood at this time that Geng Lanyin was desperate and began to start from her background and worth.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and Song Qian quickly thought of the words to answer. Seeing Geng Lanyin's smug expression, he replied without changing his face: "Of course, the coarse linen clothes worn by the grass people are not as good as the silk silk on Miss Geng's body, but the grass people don't think there is any difference between this coarse linen clothes and silk satin."
"Song Niangzi, what are you talking about? How can this coarse linen be compared to silk? This dress on Miss Ben is a dress that the tailor took three months to make, so I can probably buy a hundred pieces of this dress on Mrs. Song." Geng Lanyin said faintly dissatisfied.
After hearing this, Song Qian explained in a clear manner: "Although this silk is more expensive than coarse linen, the production process is not more time-consuming and laborious than that of linen. Moreover, this silk is made of silk, and the linen clothes on the grass people are made of plant roots mixed with other materials, so there is no difference in essence. All things are taken from nature, and man is also the spirit of nature, so the grass people don't think there's anything wrong with wearing this linen clothes."
Listening to Song Qian's words, Geng Lanyin and the others froze in place, they really didn't expect Song Qian to answer like this.
After hearing Song Qian's words, several rich daughters who were originally standing next to Geng Lanyin actually had the idea of defecting.
Geng Lanyin couldn't answer for a while, and hurriedly looked at a few people around him, wanting them to say a few words for him, but a few people kept silent in order not to cause trouble.
Ji Hanshuang put down the teacup in his hand, and said leisurely, "Mrs. Song is really articulate, in that case, Miss Geng still has any problems? If there is no problem, Song Niangzi will go back." Saying that, Ji Hanshuang got up and prepared to leave here with Song Qian.
Geng Lanyin suddenly became anxious, because she hadn't done what she promised Zhao Liuyin, but now she could only watch Song Qian leave, and just when she was in a hurry, Zhao Liuyin suddenly came uninvited.
Ji Hanshuang was also a little surprised that Zhao Liuyin would come here, after all, compared with these rich daughters, Zhao Liuyin's identity is more noble.
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Zhao Liuyin walked in and saluted respectfully, during which Song Qian's eyes met her, and the ill-intentioned in the other party's eyes made Song Qian understand that it was another bloody storm.
This made Song Qian sigh helplessly, thinking that she was so tired that she couldn't wait to go back to rest, but there was another trouble.
Ji Hanshuang also sat down again helplessly, and asked Zhao Liuyin a little reluctantly, "Miss Zhao, is there something wrong with you coming suddenly?" They don't know each other at all, and Zhao Liuyin must be a bad person.
"It's nothing, the courtiers just came to see how the palace banquet was prepared according to the will of Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother." Of course, what Zhao Liuyin said was false, but her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and
And this excuse is not far-fetched.
Geng Lanyin looked at Zhao Liuyin with a weak heart, the other party's sharp eyes swept over them, and several people suddenly didn't dare to make a sound and retreated to the back.
Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't come to trouble herself, but soon she felt that what she thought was too simple.
Because at this time, Zhao Liuyin had already set his eyes on his body, and said, "Song Niangzi, it seems that it is time to eat, and I know that your skills are good, so can you ask Song Niangzi to show us a hand and let us taste your skills?"
He was waiting for him here.
Song Qian has now been driven to the shelves, so he can only nod and agree, "Since Miss Zhao has said so, then the grass people will be ugly."
Ji Hanshuang wanted to stop Song Qian after hearing it, after all, she had already seen that Zhao Liuyin was embarrassing Song Qian, so she wanted to relieve Song Qian.
But Song Qian's words had already been spoken, probably because he was afraid that Song Qian would regret it, so Zhao Liuyin spoke before Ji Hanshuang and said, "Since Song Niangzi has agreed, then we will wait. It's still hard Song Niangzi, so don't you need our help."
Do they want to help themselves or make trouble? Song Qian couldn't help but think. So he said, "Thank you Miss Zhao, I still don't need it."
At this moment, Zhao Liuyin gave Geng Lanyin a look, and the other party immediately understood, and said, "It seems that Song Niangzi is really versatile and ingenious, unlike us rich ladies who can only play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." This is in disguise, saying that what Song Qian does is not as good as them.
Song Qian didn't get angry after hearing this, but replied calmly: "There is a craft that is always good, no matter what it is. Please also come with the grass people, and ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to move the back garden."
Ji Hanshuang didn't know what Song Qian was going to do, and thought that she was cornered by Zhao Liuyin and them, and planned to break the jar.
Unexpectedly, Song Qian comforted him affirmatively and said, "Eldest princess, don't worry, the grass people have already been arranged, you just have to come with the grass people."
Looking at Song Qian's determined expression, Ji Hanshuang had no choice but to believe him, and followed Song Qian to the back garden like everyone else.
