Chapter 10: The Banquet Turmoil

April 15, flower viewing feast.

The main mansion of Yiyang County is located in the western suburbs, covering an area of more than 100 acres.

Wen Ling also received invitations, but she was never impatient to participate in these banquets, so she threw the invitations to Xia Ruo and asked her to attend them herself.

Xia Ruo and his entourage sat in the carriage, and along the way, they saw a hundred flowers contending, lush trees, pavilions and pavilions, and they were beautiful.

Shuang'er: "The county lord's mansion is so beautiful!" ”

"It's like the heavenly palace in the playbook!"

Lian'er: "It's good, but it's still a little inferior to our house!" ”

Shuang'er: "Hey, don't talk nonsense! ”

"My aunt is serving in the county lord's mansion, and she said that the county lord loves this house the most in his life, and if someone says something bad, he will kill this person."

"If you say such a thing in front of her, she will never let you go."

Lian'er: "Why? What is the special origin of this house? ”

Shuang'er: "It's a secret, you can't talk about it." ”

"I also found out because my aunt leaked her mouth when she was drunk during the New Year....."

Lian'er: "Good sister, just tell me!" ”

Seeing that there was gossip to listen to, Xia Ruo immediately pricked up his ears.

"What's going on? Let's talk about it carefully. ”

Shuang'er wanted to sell a pass, but he didn't expect Xia Ruo to be interested, so he talked about it with great interest.

"This has to start with the county horses who have already gone."

"Few people know that the layout and flowers and trees of the county lord's mansion were designed and selected by the county horse himself."

Lian'er: "Junma still designs gardens?" That's amazing! ”

Shuang'er: "That's not it, Junma is the San Langjun of the Xue family, Wen Tao Wuluo, poetry and songs, omnipotent." ”

"It is said that he is still a rare beautiful man, who is considerate to the county lord, and the two are very affectionate."

Lian'er: "The Xue family? Is it the Xue family who rebelled with the former prince and was raided?"

Shuang'er: "Isn't that the Xue family?" ”

"Junma was punished for the Xue family's rebellion, the county lord is a royal bloodline, and there is no need to die together, but without Junma, she is depressed all day long, and she washes her face with tears."

"Every grass and tree in this house embodies her longing for the county horse."

Xia Ruo: "Alas, it's really a pity. ”

Shuang'er: "Besides, I've heard about it." This flower-viewing banquet is not what the county lord wants to organize. ”

"It's because in order to make the county lord happy, every once in a while, he will use the banquet as an excuse to find someone to accompany the county lord."

"But the county lord doesn't seem to appreciate it very much, he will make things difficult for the guests at every turn, and if one doesn't go well, he will lock people up!"

"The young lady of the Ministry of Rites has been locked up, and I heard that when she was released, she was about to be tortured into a madman."

"But the saint loves the county lord very much, and he didn't even scold her."

"After appeasing the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I hastily revealed this matter."

Xia Ruo: "Huh? And this kind of thing?"

"Then let's be careful when we go in later, don't touch the county lord's mold."

Lian'er: "Got it, Miss. ”

In front of the garden gate on the first floor, the carriage stopped, and Lian'er and Shuang'er helped Xia Ruo get out of the car.

Passing through a corridor, you will arrive at the Qunfang Hall.

The ladies of each family formed a group of threes and twos, talking and laughing, and Wang Yunyan was also among them.

Wang Yunyan was dressed magnificently today, wearing a gold brocade shirt with large sleeves and a red woven gold thread skirt.

On her chest hung a golden red gold beast lock, and the seven treasure gilt hairpins on her head shone brightly.

She seemed to be the most beautiful woman in the audience, smiling gently in the eyes of the ladies or jealous or envious.

There were two women around her, and they were the two who were on the horse farm, saying that they wanted to give Xia Ruo a good look.

Zhang Yao: "Sister Yunyan, you are so beautiful today, you deserve to be the first beauty in the capital." ”

Wang Yunyan: "Where, Sister Yaoyao is as beautiful as a fairy!" ”

Li Mingyue: "Sister Yunyan is beautiful and modest, it's really rare." ”

Listening to their business blowing each other, Lian'er pursed her lips.

"What, I think our young lady is the first beauty in the capital!"

"Look at those people are looking at Miss!"

Xia Ruo is dressed very plainly today, but she is so beautiful.

She was wearing a light green Suluo dress, embroidered with bright begonias on the skirt, a bunch around her waist, and her figure was as slender as a soft willow, with the cowardice of Xizi's heart.

She only holds a golden peach hairpin in her hair, which is slender and slender, adding a delicate and beautiful color to her, and the whole person has a fresh and elegant natural beauty.

Under the blue sky, Xia Ruo walked slowly and smiled slightly, and the sky and the earth lost their color.

As soon as she came, most people's eyes turned from Wang Yunyan to her.

Guest A: "Oh my God, this girl looks like a fairy, three points more beautiful than Wang Yunyan!" ”

Guest B: "Wait a minute..... Is she the Xia Ruo who wants to beat someone if she doesn't agree with her?"

Guest A: "How is that possible?" Xia Ruo's taste is tacky, and his clothes have always been red and purple, so it is impossible to wear them so elegantly. ”

Guest C: "No, she's Xia Ruo!"

"Look at the two thugs behind her, no, maid, who else could it be if it wasn't Xia Ruo?"

Wang Yunyan also saw Xia Ruo, and saw that she had taken away her limelight, her face was light and light, but her hands tightened in her sleeves.

Xia Ruo was so beautiful that she was not like a mortal, she almost wanted to compare herself, and remembered that Qin Ding'an was courteous to Xia Ruo, and a trace of hatred crossed Wang Yunyan's eyes.

Wang Yunyan: "Xia Ruo, you're here!" ”

She walked up to Xia Ruo and wanted to pull Xia Ruo's hand affectionately, but Xia Ruo quietly avoided it.

Xia Ruo: "What are you doing?"

Wang Yunyan: "Xia Ruo..."

Xia Ruo: (Don't think I didn't see the silver needle in your palm)

The other two people, seeing Wang Yunyan's aggrieved appearance after being rejected, were upset for her.

Li Mingyue: "Yunyan looks at you alone, and kindly comes to play with you, why don't you know what to do?"

Xia Ruo: "Whether it's kind or not, she knows it herself." ”

Zhang Yao: "You!"

"Hmph, you really dare to come to the banquet with the invitation of His Royal Highness, you don't know what to do."

Li Mingyue: "That's it, how can an unmarried woman accept things from a foreign man, it's simply immoral." ”

"You're still dressed up so flamboyantly, just to seduce His Royal Highness!"

Zhang Yao: "Phew, it's really shameless." ”

Wang Yunyan frowned, but the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Don't talk about Miss Xia like that."

"She must not have been taught in her family, and women should avoid suspicion with men."

"She would do such a thing, and she definitely didn't mean to teach it privately."

Zhang Yao: "Sister Yunyan is right, the Xia family is notoriously uneducated!" ”

Their voices were not loud or small, attracting people around them to come around to watch the excitement.

Lian'er couldn't get angry, so she rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to beat them.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth!"

Xia Ruo: "Lian'er, don't be presumptuous!"

Xia Ruo stopped her, but Lian'er was very angry and wanted to rush forward.

Xia Ruo: "Shuang'er, stop her!"

was pulled aside by Shuang'er, and Lian'er was aggrieved.

"Miss! They slander our Xia family like this, I really can't bear it!"

Xia Ruo: "No matter what, you can't go wild in the County Lord's Mansion. ”

"They don't know how to behave, do you have to do the same?"

Zhang Yao: "Who do you say doesn't know the number of etiquette?"

Xia Ruo: "Who is talking about, who knows it in their hearts." ”

Xia Ruo's dark eyes looked at several people, and his eyes were fierce, which frightened them and retreated.

Xia Ruo's murderous reputation was outside, and Wang Yunyan felt furious in his heart.

"You...... What are you going to do?"

Xia Ruo: "Don't do anything, I just want to see whose daughter is so uneducated." ”

was ridiculed by Xia Ruo, Wang Yunyan was suddenly so angry that he couldn't help tearing through his gentle disguise.

"The whole capital knows that it's obviously you who is uneducated! Isn't it fun to hit a rake?"

Xia Ruo: "It turns out that you are Wang Yunyan, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"You were so hypocritical just now, I didn't even recognize it."

"This time, I didn't care about it, but I chewed on the root of my tongue."

"You really have a wide range of business, which is admirable."

Seeing Wang Yunyan's face flushed, Xia Ruo snorted coldly.

"Then again, why did I hit a rake?"

"Chewing the root of my tongue in front of me is a bad character, slandering the guests invited by the county lord, and disrespecting the county lord."

"Are you doing this to give your own parents face?"

"If this is educated, then my Xia family really can't teach such children!"

Wang Yunyan was scolded so red-faced, facing the lively eyes of the people around him, eager to get into the cracks in the ground.

Zhang Yao saw that Wang Yunyan was humiliated, and retorted angrily.

"The county lord didn't invite you at all, what kind of guest are you?"

"The invitation in your hand was obviously given by His Royal Highness II."

Li Mingyue: "That's it! You accepted the invitation of His Royal Highness Second Highness in public, and brought it to the banquet in a grand manner, you are not ashamed!"

It is a taboo for unmarried women to give and receive private gifts from men, and they are sure that Xia Ruo does not dare to speak out, so they unscrupulously slander her.

But he didn't expect Xia Ruo to be afraid at all, and slowly raised the invitation card in his hand.

"Who said that my invitation was given by His Royal Highness?"

Zhang Yao: "What we saw with our own eyes, can there be a fake?"

Xia Ruo shook his head, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"You have a grudge against me, and what you say is not credible."

"Let everyone at the scene be a witness."

"If the invitation in my hand is not His Royal Highness, what will you do?"

Li Mingyue: "Then I will kowtow to you with Sister Yao and ask for guilt!"

Xia Ruo: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

Xia Ruo unfolded the invitation in front of everyone, displayed it around the field, and finally stopped in front of Wang Yunyan.

"Miss Wang, who is this an invitation from the county lord?"
