Just as he was looking down and silently admiring, he heard a voice behind him: "My younger brother and sister will find a place, and I don't know how to socialize with people more when I have such a good opportunity today, so I sit here alone and hide idle, no wonder my mother is not worried and asked me to come over and take care of you." ”

Jin Nanxue turned around, and a young woman about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed luxuriously, stood behind her, it was her eldest sister Jiang Min.

Jiang Min is the eldest daughter of the first marquis and the Lian family, and married to the Huang family, the head of the household, a few years ago, and became the eldest daughter-in-law, and today she came to the banquet on behalf of the Huang family. Lian's family decided to let Jin Nanxue come out to socialize, but she was still not at ease, knowing that her eldest daughter Jiang Min would definitely come, so he sent her a letter in advance, asking her to remind Jin Nanxue when she came to the banquet and not let her do embarrassing things to the Hou Mansion.

Jin Nanxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Min was alone, this eldest sister had a calm personality, although she usually looked down on her as a brother-in-law, but every time she saw her, she would save some face after a few lessons, unlike the second aunt Jiang Lan, whose temperament was called flamboyant and domineering, every time she saw Jin Nanxue, she was sarcastic and picky left and right, and she couldn't wait to step on her into the mud to be happy.

It seems that Jiang Lan didn't come today.

Jin Nanxue hurriedly got up to salute, Jiang Min sat down on the stool opposite her, and then raised his eyes to look at her and said: "Since you come out to socialize, don't sit alone, my mother is old, and you will have to come forward in the future in the future of the Houfu's personal contacts, and it will be good for you to know more people." You sit next to me at the table, and I'll introduce you to a few ladies. ”

She also listened to the words of this eldest sister with low eyebrows, and naturally stopped when she was bored. Sure enough, Jiang Min saw Jin Nanxue in front of him, only nodded and didn't say a word, and soon lost interest in preaching. She is the eldest daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law's house, and she can't be idle when she helps her mother-in-law manage the housekeeping on weekdays, and it is difficult to come out today, so naturally she will not waste all her time on this wooden brother and sister, so she casually explained a few words and walked away to chat with the lady she knew.

After listening to the lecture twice in just a while, Jin Nanxue sighed in her heart speechlessly and sat down again, but she lost the interest in appreciating the flowers, and only picked up the fan in her hand and fanned it gently.

It's just that she sat there quietly, and her calm and indifferent temperament was in response to that sentence, people were as light as chrysanthemums, which could not be ignored, which naturally attracted the attention of the people around her, and after a while, several young women took the initiative to come over and sit down next to her, Jin Nanxue got up and knew each other one by one.

"Sister Nanxue, is it really you?"

When Jin Nanxue heard this, she looked over, and saw a young woman holding a fan in her hand, dressed in exquisite beauty, walking towards her in surprise, and stepped forward and couldn't help but pull her hand and look at her: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect to meet you here today, it really makes me so happy." ”

Jin Nanxue quickly recalled the identity of this person in her mind, Miao Ruoxin, the eldest daughter of the Miao family who lived next door to Wenxuanbo Mansion when she was a child, has known the original owner since she was a child and is a very good friend, and later married into Zhongyuan Bofu and became the wife of Zhongyuan Bo Shizi.

In my memory, I didn't expect to meet the old man here, Jin Nanxue was also a little excited, and when she saw the other party pulling her with a happy look, she couldn't help but bend her lips and smile: "Sister Miao, I didn't expect to meet you, it's so good." ”

The two sat together affectionately holding hands and talking about intimate words, and soon the main house was opened, and Jin Nanxue saw from a distance that the eldest sister Jiang Min was talking to several ladies around her, and she had already sat on a table closer to the main seat of the main hall, and seemed to have forgotten what she had just said to herself.

It seems that the eldest sister has no time to pay attention to herself, which is exactly what she wants.

Miao Ruoxin pulled her into a seat, Jin Nanxue readily agreed, and followed her to sit down in a seat next to her.

Most of the young ladies at this table are from various families, and there are a few girls who have not yet left the cabinet, except for Jin Nanxue, almost everyone knows each other, so after sitting down, everyone is not restrained, and there are those who are familiar with each other and quickly chat.

Miao Ruoxin saw that she was not very familiar with everyone and was willing to help her introduce, and the young ladies at the same table were all daughters-in-law of various families in Kyoto, but these people were obviously more familiar, and after a few polite words with Jin Nanxue, they left her to talk to themselves.

Jin Nanxue sat there with a smile and didn't interject, silently listening to the content of their chat, nothing more than whose daughter-in-law was favored in front of her in-laws, whose wife took a good concubine for her husband outside, etc., when it came to the funny place, she covered her mouth and laughed happily, Miao Ruoxin explained in her ear from time to time which family the other party was talking about, and it was quite lively after a meal. It is not as elaborate as the ancients described in the books, at least not at this feast today.

"Humph! Who should I be, it turned out to be the woman who robbed her cousin's fiancé by a subordinate means, and now that the time has passed, she has come out to socialize like no one else, such a person Mrs. Ben feels disgusting at a glance. ”

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the next table, and everyone's eyes were attracted to it.

Jin Nanxue also turned her head to look over, and saw a delicately dressed young woman on the table next to her pouting and talking to the female guests around her, seeing that everyone was not panicked at all, and glanced at Jin Nanxue with disdain, the disdain on her face was undisguised.

"Alas, it is also Sister Yue's kindness, Uncle Wen Xuanbo and Mrs. Bo are kind-hearted, not only did they blame this kind of thing, but also came forward to cover her up, and repay her grievances with virtue, so that she sat in the position of Mrs. Hou as she wished, fortunately, Sister Yue is a good person and has a good reward, and she is now a side concubine by King Chen."

The young woman said to the people at the same table the gossip of Wen Xuanbo's Mansion back then, and she looked like she couldn't see the person on the table next to her, and her few words suddenly made the surrounding female guests whisper, and some people even deliberately turned their heads to look at Jin Nanxue, and even the ladies at their table also cast strange glances at her.

Jin Nanxue only felt that this woman was familiar, and when she called her "Sister Yue" just now, she understood that this best friend, who was about to be good friends with Jin Nanyue, deliberately said these words in public to humiliate her.

"This is the daughter-in-law of Lord Zhan's family, whose maiden name is Qin, do you have a holiday?"

Miao Ruoxin approached her curiously and asked in a low voice, on this occasion, unless the two parties have a holiday, who would be so bold and blunt about the privacy of other people's homes.

A name gradually came to Jin Nanxue's mind, Qin Yuanniang, isn't it her cousin Jin Nanyue's best friend?

I remember that the Qin family just has an official position that is not big or small, this Qin Yuanniang followed Jin Nanyue's ass and flattered her back then, and now that Jin Nanyue is the concubine of King Chen, this will only be more stammering, and since Jin Nanyue looks down on someone she has met, she will inevitably be sneering at her.

It's just that if this kind of thing is not to make a fuss at other people's happy banquets, it will not only cause dissatisfaction among the host's family, but also affect themselves.
