MTL - Kunning-Chapter 11 reverse
"What, ran away?"
The second lady, You Yue, who was waiting for guests in the flower hall, was dragged to the corridor by her maid to talk, and when she heard that You Fangyin ran out of the firewood room at this time, her pretty face darkened. .
"Didn't you ask the rough envoy to guard it? What are they doing for food!"
Seeing her angry, the servant girl dared not speak.
You Yue snorted coldly, and said: "But she is just going to see her poor aunt. There are guests at home today, so don't make it public. You tell them not to bother now, lest people see the rumors. Make some rumors that shouldn't be there. After a while, my sister and I will take guests to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and then you can go directly to that bitch's room to catch her and treat her well."
The servant girl answered in a low voice, and went down to pass on the message.
At this time, the guests who came to the banquet arrived one after another.
Everyone gathered in the flower hall to talk.
There are many ladies from honorable families who didn't intend to come, but once they heard that there are Yan Lin and Shen Jie in Qingyuan uncle's mansion, how can they sit still?
Who in Beijing doesn't know that Lord Yan Xiaohou is a talented person?
Both martial arts and literature are excellent, the position of the son has been decided early, and the crowning ceremony will be held in two months.
It is reasonable to talk about marriage after the crown ceremony.
Even if you don't admire the noble family of the Yongyi Hou's Mansion, Yan Lin alone is enough to make people flock to him, not to mention that there is even a Linzi King Shen Jie who has not yet taken the right concubine.
When Jiang Xuening walked in from the outside of the flower hall, she took a quick look and saw that the hall was full of red scarves, emerald sleeves, and pink lips. No matter how high or low they were, everyone was wearing a smile that was too decent and polite.
Only the smiles of the two people seemed more genuine.
One is You Shuang, the eldest lady of You House, and the other is You Yue, the second miss of You House.
No wonder.
In her impression, the Qingyuan uncle's mansion, which has declined, hosted a banquet, and it even collided with Cheng Guogong's mansion, so many people came to the banquet. If Jiang Xuening was them, they might not be able to hide the joy on their faces.
As soon as the servant who led her in arrived at the foyer, he smiled and announced to the inside: "The second girl of Jiang Shilang's residence has arrived."
The famous ladies and ladies who were talking together in the hall didn't pay much attention to this sound at first, but habitually raised their heads and glanced at the hall.
But who would have thought that it was just this glance that flashed.
The moment Jiang Xuening walked into the hall from the door, no one knew who quieted down first, and the infection spread, and the whole hall suddenly became silent.
After Jiang Xuening returned to Beijing, she rarely participated in such banquets.
Most of these girls in Beijing are ladies of great families, and all of them have the same bearing as Jiang Xuehui. And she spent the first two years learning the rules when she first returned to Beijing, and Meng couldn't take her out; after getting to know Yan Lin, she simply became impatient to learn those cumbersome rules and the fragrance and playing the piano that all ladies like, so naturally she fell in love with her. She doesn't even like to join in the fun that doesn't get along with her temper.
Not to mention that Jiang Xuehui is basically indispensable for such occasions.
With such a powerful older sister, even though Jiang Xuehui didn't really mean to overpower her, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Xuening, the second girl, was inferior in every way, and she didn't bother to find trouble for herself.
Therefore, although many people in the hall have heard that there is a person like her, most of them have not seen her appearance and behavior with their own eyes.
At first glance, everyone's heart is panting.
When God pinches her such a person, it is too partial—
Even if she didn't come in full dress, her makeup was too plain, but the more she looked like this, the more people felt that she was naturally beautiful. The eyebrows are dark without drawing, the lips are red without pouting, and the snow-white complexion is like the snow on the top of the sky, which makes people feel untouchable. But those bright eyes were like lacquer spots, and when the eyes moved gently, they pulled her down from the mortal world, bringing out a natural charm and agility.
Even a little colorful.
It not only rejects people thousands of miles away, but also seduces people's daydream at the end.
A head of fluffy black hair was **** into a Chaoyun Jinxiang bun.
Although the girl's figure is not yet fully grown, she already has various exquisite postures. Her slender waist swings lightly as she walks, reminiscent of willow branches shaking in the spring breeze, fresh and tender.
In the brief silence, someone snorted, "Why is she here?"
Only then did the ladies who were a little further away reacted.
There are whispers who have seen her before, and there are people who have never seen her before and ask others.
Although those voices were subtle, Jiang Xuening could tell by casually scanning the expressions of these so-called "ladies and gentlemen", that perhaps these people didn't have a very good impression of him, and there was a hint of jealous hostility in them.
But soon the hostility turned into palpable contempt.
After all, a country girl who grew up on a farm for the past fourteen years, even if she returned to the capital, she still doesn't look like a prince in a dragon robe. How can she compare with these noble ladies who have been pampered since childhood?
In her previous life, she especially cared about these gazes.
But in this life, she sees them a lot more calmly: they have all been queens, even if they can't beat those elites in the previous dynasty, she is still the winner who overcame all obstacles and climbed to the throne of queen. the difference.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was a little strangely awkward.
Fortunately, the two hosts of the banquet were present.
When she heard the report from the servant, You Shuang rushed up to meet her. When she saw her, her eyes flashed, she smiled slightly, and greeted Jiang Xuening: "It seems that I only met Jiang Er at the banquet of Zhang Shangshu's house in the past, and I haven't seen her before. It is expected that the second girl will come today, please come inside."
You Yue nailed Jiang Xuening twice.
Today, she is the master, so she can be called dressed up, and when she takes a selfie in the mirror before going out, she always feels that the person in the mirror is very beautiful, and also because Youfu has not encountered such a face-saving thing for a long time, so the corner of her eye The tip of her brows was stained with some enthusiasm, just like the bright red flowers blooming on the branch. Even if she couldn't overwhelm the crowd, she was absolutely radiant, and could make people spot her at a glance in the crowd. She was a dazzling flower. Pearl.
But when Jiang Xuening came, she was all compared to her.
Like a bright moon rising in the night sky, dimming the pearl.
You Yue Xinxin is not big at all, on the one hand, she thinks she is too good-looking to be in the way of people's eyes; The second girl is one, haven't you seen your sister?"
Many people around stealthily looked at him.
Most of you have heard about the situation of the two daughters of the Jiang family.
It's very obvious that You Yue intends to make Jiang Xuening unhappy because she wants to mention her sister in front of her sister.
They all had a bit of a heart to watch the joke, let's see how Jiang Xuening responds first.
But who would have thought, she was very calm, neither embarrassed nor annoyed, she just looked back at You Yue with a smile, and said indifferently: "Of course my sister and mother went to Cheng Guogong's mansion, and they asked me to ask You Yue The government apologizes."
You Yue's face suddenly changed.
The others also took a deep breath: This second girl Jiang looked calm, but she spoke harshly!
Who doesn't know that Qingyuan Bo's mansion collided with Cheng Guogong's mansion today?
There are smart and crowded families, some of them go here and some go there. Everyone knows it, but they won't say it. And Jiang Xuening's answer clearly meant that Mrs. Jiang, who had a higher status in Jiang's mansion, took the eldest girl to Duke Cheng's mansion, and she was the only one who came to Qingyuan uncle's mansion. What's the difference between this and slapping You Yue in the face in front of her?
You Yue took a step forward and wanted to explode.
You Shuang, who was standing next to her, had her eyelids twitched, her eyes were sharp and her hands were quick, she grabbed her hand, and took Jiang Xuening's words first: "What's the matter? After all, everyone has lived in the capital for a long time, and in the future there will be things like admiring the flowers and the moon. There is a time to get together. Let's sit down and talk, please."
Only now did Jiang Xuening be invited to sit down.
A lady from the family who had been in contact with Jiang Xuening in the past few days, saw her calm and calm posture, and somewhat doubted her previous impression of her: Except for her face, the second girl of the Jiang family has no reputation, why? Today's demeanor, looks more noble than them?
Jiang Xuening knew that many people were secretly looking at her, but she didn't care.
She didn't come here for the banquet.
And hated these hypocritical entertainments in Beijing, basically stopped talking after sitting down, just listened to other people chatting nonchalantly, with only one You Fangyin in mind.
The face of You Fangyin she knew in the previous life, and the figure of You Fangyin she met in this life, kept interlacing and flickering in her mind, overlapping and separating, which disturbed her.
Youyue herself was angry for a while, but after Jiang Xuening sat down, she didn't speak, and the girls next to her, because this time Youfu invited Yan Lin and Shen Jie, complimented her both in and out of words, Gradually, the previous quarrel was forgotten.
At this moment, I chatted with others about recent events in Beijing.
She clapped her hands and remembered something: "Hey, there is an interesting story, have you guys heard about it? It's about the criminal department challenging Shizhong and Jin Yiwei."
Just as Jiang Xuening absent-mindedly took a small piece of osmanthus cake on the table, when she heard the words "Criminal Division Giving Matters", her heart trembled, her hands paused, and she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at You Yue.
You Yue sneered contemptuously, and smiled at the others: "Who doesn't know that after the former emperor established Jinyiwei, he relied heavily on it, and handed over many prison matters. The former Jinyiwei's Zhou Qianhu took people to arrest him. Two sour Confucians who blindly wrote books and arranged the imperial court, who didn't know that was what the Holy One meant? They were all arrested and imprisoned, but guess what? The next day someone gave the Holy Scriptures, saying that Jin Yiwei took no one. With the approval of their Criminal Division, Zhou Qianhu is going to be impeached! At first glance, his name is Zhang Zhe, and he is very courageous for a small seventh-rank Criminal Division to give it to him, and he thinks his life is too long!"
Zhou Qianhu has some relationship with Qingyuan Bofu.
Uncle Qingyuan had already cursed several times in his study for the matter of going up, and You Yue naturally felt that the surname Zhang was quite impolite in many matters.
The others also echoed: "This little official who is as big as a sesame seed dares to argue with Jin Yiwei, he is too ignorant!"
Jiang Xuening loosened her finger, and she threw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she picked up back into the plate, interjected a sentence for the first time, and just laughed: "It's all called 'not knowing what's good', according to everyone's opinion , what is meant by 'knowing the good and the bad'?"
Everyone froze for a moment.
They had been sitting here talking for a long time, and they didn't listen to Jiang Xuening's answer. Gradually, they almost forgot that there was such an existence next to her. When they suddenly heard her talking, they felt dazed for a moment.
Looking at the expression of the second girl from the Jiang family again, I was a little startled—
Even before You Yue stabbed her with words, Jiang Xuening's face was also indifferent, and she didn't seem to care much.
But at this moment, although there was a smile on his lips, it was a little cold.
A pair of beautiful eyes raised up, looking at the person quietly, revealing a sense of seductiveness for no reason, and the sneer on the corner of the lips, there is a kind of ironic sharpness.
You Shuang was stunned.
You Yue was immediately touched by her words, and she completely pulled her face down: "Your words sound like you want to complain about this Zhang, but why haven't I heard that Jiang Shilang is very capable? Even a seventh-rank official who doesn't know what it is is going to be supported?"
These words actually imply that Jiang Boyou is behind Zhang Zhe.
Jiang Xuening was not a good-tempered master in her previous life, not to mention You Yue's words made her taboo one after another!
As a result, the last trace of a smile disappeared from his face.
She took the brocade handkerchief that Tang'er handed over and wiped her hands, and said word by word: "The imperial court regulations, in addition to the driving card, the Jin Yiwei must also have the approval from the criminal department to get someone. This Zhou Qianhu acted so boldly that he even dared to disregard the court's laws and regulations. It is his own fault to be censored by Mrs. Zhang! Why is it Ms. You's turn to complain for him? Could it be that she wants to ignore the court's laws and regulations and turn them upside down? black and white?"
The expressions of the other people around all changed.
Although Jin Yiwei is becoming more and more arrogant, people in the government and the public are gradually getting used to their behavior, this is the first time someone has brought up the law on such an occasion, and people really don't dare to intervene.
Even You Yue felt terrified when she realized it.
It's just that she didn't like Jiang Xuening in the first place, and she refuted her face for no reason. If she backed down and kept her mouth shut now, her face would be dull, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Just take the law and say Just wait and see what happens to this 'Master Zhang' when he turns around."
Jiang Xuening smiled slowly: "I'm also waiting to see what happens to Zhou Qianhu."
When she smiled, there was no smile in her eyes, she only looked at You Yue, and the bottom of her eyes was full of hostility!
Although she didn't take the initiative to harm anyone in her previous life, she was a person who had been slaughtered once, and there were some things in her bones that were different from those boudoir ladies.
This look hides a bit of blood.
Where have you seen Yu Yue?
For a moment, he trembled at the sight of this look, and opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
How did she know what the name "Zhang Zhe" meant to Jiang Xuening: this person was the only person she was ashamed of in her previous life. She was greedy for life and afraid of death, but at the end of her life, she dedicated her life's courage to him.
How can he allow others to insult him?
Don't say that sitting here today is a little You Yue, even if Xie Wei is sitting here, she dares to speak out!
