Chapter 310: Disliked?
Wang Yinuo's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet is basically a relatively familiar invitation, saying that it is a banquet, but in fact it is just a small gathering of girls.
Although Wang Yinuo is a concubine, Dingguo Gong only has such a baby daughter, so he naturally loves her a little more, and the relationship between Wang Yanqing, the prince of the world, is also very close to her, so her status is not humble in the circle of nobles.
Xie Rongzhao is going to attend the banquet, and Liu Ruolan naturally has to remind a few words, first of all, don't be an enemy easily, and secondly, if you meet people from the Xie family on Anhe Street, it is better to stay away.
Chen Jiaojiao prepared a sachet for her, which contained some mint, which could help Xie Rongzhao wake up, mainly because she was worried that if she was greedy, she would get drunk if she drank too much fruit wine.
Wang Yinuo's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet is actually a few little sisters who have a good time getting together to talk, enjoy the flowers, and the most important thing is to eat and drink together.
Mrs. Wang felt that since she was going to hold a small banquet, it was not good to really invite only a few people, so she made a small banquet and invited more than ten girls to gather.
Xie Rongzhao got the post, so he naturally had to be prepared, from wearing to gifts, he couldn't make people find out the mistakes.
It is not good to steal the scenery of the host's house, so Xie Rongzhao generally does not wear too brilliant clothes, and the headdress will be selected as decently as possible.
is also because of her self-consciousness, which is very popular with many ladies and ladies.
No hostess would want to see an invited guest shine brighter than herself.
Chen Jiaojiao saw that although she was young, she thought about things very well, and felt more and more that this sister-in-law was cute and sensible.
"Miss, Miss Wang is here, look?"
"Which Miss Wang?"
"It's the eldest lady of the Wang family."
Xie Rongzhao reacted at this time, Chen Xia should be talking about Wang Qin'er.
"Since you have guests, then I'll go back first."
"Sister-in-law doesn't need to be evasive, Uncle Wang and our family have been friends for many years, he and Daddy are fellow scholars, and they studied together in Mingshan Academy before."
Chen Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay, then I'll see you too." ”
In fact, they have met before, but Chen Jiaojiao has no impression of this Wang Qin'er, so seeing each other now can increase her memory, after all, it is a good family, and it is always difficult to meet and not know, that is really embarrassing.
Wang Qin'er only brought a little girl ring by her side, and when she entered Xie Rongzhao's small courtyard again, the envious look on her face rose again.
"Sister Zhaozhao, I came uninvited, I hope it didn't bother you."
"No, it won't. This is my sister-in-law, you've seen it before. Sister-in-law, this is the eldest lady of Lord Wang's family. ”
Wang Qin'er said: "I've seen Sister-in-law Xie, I'm Wang Qin'er, you can call me Qin'er directly." ”
Chen Xia came over and gave refreshments, and then saw Xie Rongzhao giving her a look, so he took the initiative to retreat outside the door.
She withdrew, and the little girl brought by Wang Qin'er also withdrew.
"Chen Xia, don't stand under the porch, it's windy outside, it's too cold. Let's go to the East Wing to warm your hands. ”
"Yes, miss."
Wang Qin'er wouldn't come over for no reason, so Xie Rongzhao deliberately sent all her subordinates away, so that it was convenient for her to say directly and save herself from going around the bend.
"Sister-in-law, this osmanthus cake is delicious, this time it uses honey, it won't be too sweet, you can taste it."
Chen Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, and then she did try.
Wang Qin'er saw that Chen Jiaojiao was there, but she was actually embarrassed to say it.
But this is the Xie family, and this is the new sister-in-law, if she speaks, I am afraid that she will make this sister-in-law unhappy again.
"Sister Wang also tasted it, and with this tea, it's really good."
"Okay, I'll try."
Wang Qin'er was embarrassed to speak, and Xie Rongzhao just didn't know if she had something to say, or Chen Jiaojiao felt that this was not good, so she found an excuse and left first.
Xie Rongzhao felt a little regretful, and he should let his sister-in-law see how powerful this Wang Qin'er was.
Wang Qin'er took another sip of tea before she said gently: "Sister Zhaozhao, I heard that Miss Wang from the Dingguo Mansion gave you a post?" ”
Xie Rongzhao nodded, and said disapprerovitically: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Wang Qin'er's face was slightly red, but she secretly scolded this Xie Rongzhao in her heart for not being able to speak.
"It's nothing, it's just that I heard that the new chrysanthemums in the Dingguo Mansion are treasures, so I'm just a little curious."
Xie Rongzhao heard what she meant, but he didn't understand, and only nodded lightly.
Wang Qin'er was a little anxious.
If it was someone else, she said so, the other party would naturally say that he could take her to the Dingguo Mansion to enjoy the flowers.
But this Xie Rongzhao didn't understand what she meant at all!
Wang Qin'er hesitated for a moment, but still continued to say: "I heard that the chrysanthemum banquet in the Dingguo Mansion is not held every year, and I heard that Miss Wang is very much liked by the Dingguo Prince, is that so?" ”
Xie Rongzhao thought for a while before he said: "Sister Yinuo is indeed very fond of them, even Brother Yanqing likes Sister Yinuo too." ”
Wang Qin'er's face trembled slightly, and seeing that she didn't mean to continue, she could only say it more bluntly.
"I heard that Miss Wang's banquet is all the daughters of important ministers in the court, Zhaozhao's sister is so blessed, your father is the Shangshu Zuocheng of the fourth grade, and he is favored by the saint, unlike me, my father is just a minor official of the fifth grade."
Xie Rongzhao looked at her incredulously: "Why did Sister Wang say that?" Wang Abo's current position is not a petty official! Although it is a little lower than my father in terms of grade, it is quite an important position for the middle scholars. Moreover, the lowest grade of our Dazhi Dynasty is the ninth grade, according to this calculation, Wang Abo's grade is not low. ”
In the capital, there are indeed many five-grade officials.
But the problem is that there are only a few people in the middle of the five grades.
This position is very crucial, it can be said that the real power is in the hands, not comparable to those high-grade idle functions.
What made Xie Rongzhao unhappy was that how could Wang Qin'er say this about his father?
No matter how low the official rank is, it is also an official!
You, a concubine who has enjoyed all the benefits brought by Wang Jin as an official, dare to dislike his low rank?
Don't want to live anymore?
Wang Qin'er realized that there was a discrepancy in what she said just now, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just said that I envy you for receiving the post from the Dingguo Mansion, my father can't get into the eyes of those nobles because of his low official position, how dare I dislike my father as his daughter?" ”
Xie Rongzhao stared at her suspiciously, until he saw that her face was flushed and her face was full of shame, and then he withdrew his eyes.
"Not the best. Wang Abo has only been a junior for a few years, and he has reached the fifth rank so quickly, which is already considered a fast promotion. Don't say anything like this in the future. ”
