Chapter 1227 Feeling, She Is Not Easy to Mess With
In the past, when Zuo Xiang hadn't fallen, among the rich ladies of the official family, there was still a Zuo Xuan who could stand up to Yuan Yunqiao.
Since the fall of the left side, Yuan Yunqiao can be regarded as the only one among the younger generation.
However, Elder Yuan has always kept a low profile in his conduct, and he doesn't allow his clan's children to show off at will, so Yuan Yunqiao has also lived in seclusion these years, rarely appearing in various banquets in the upper class circle.
This made a lot of ladies and ladies want to make friends but failed.
I didn't expect to receive an invitation from Yuan Yunqiao this time, and everyone came here one after another.
For a while, the Mrs. Shang Shu and the Minister's daughter in front of the gate of Yuan's Mansion crowded together very lively.
What surprised everyone even more was that Yuan Yunqiao, the only great-granddaughter of Mr. Yuan, actually went out to welcome them into the mansion.
While this made the ladies happy, they also changed their minds.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
It was strange enough that people who had little dealings with them in the past suddenly hosted a banquet and invited them to the banquet, but now they are being asked to go out to greet them in person, who is still courteous, I don't know what this Miss Yuan is thinking.
"Miss Yuan, why are you waiting at the door? We are flattered by you."
"Isn't that right, Ms. Yuan is going to this stop, I don't know where to put my hands and feet, why don't Ms. Yuan go in with us?"
Yuan Yunqiao looked at the group of ladies and daughters who came around, and smiled politely, "Today, I am hosting a banquet in the Yuan Mansion, thank you for coming here. Please come to the mansion first, I will wait for someone else, and I will come later."
"Which distinguished guest is Miss Yuan waiting for? We will wait with you..."
"No, she's here." Looking at the entrance of the alley, Yuan Yunqiao smiled.
Everyone followed her gaze, and saw a low-key, simple and elegant carriage approaching quietly, and the mansion emblem hanging on the curtain of the carriage turned out to be Liu Mansion.
"Hey, why is she here..." Someone blurted out, and it was only halfway through the sentence that he realized it. Since this person was Miss Yuan and others, it was naturally invited by Yuan Yunqiao.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and someone immediately came out to smooth things over, "Ms. Yuan was waiting for Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu is notoriously difficult to invite in our circle. Over the years, there have been no less than 50 banquets of all sizes in the circle. Mrs. Liu I've only been here twice. Looking at it now, Ms. Yuan still has a lot of face."
Immediately there were compliments all around.
"What kind of face can I have, but it's all because of the shadow of my ancestors. Yunqiao is very grateful for everyone's face." Looking at the carriage that has stopped opposite, Yuan Yunqiao smiled slightly, "As for Mrs. Liu, it's not that difficult. Get along with each other, through this banquet, we can get in touch more and get acquainted."
"Miss Yuan said that Mrs. Liu rarely attends a banquet, so we should take this opportunity to get to know each other better."
Fu Yuzheng got out of the car and was stunned when he saw that the entrance of Yuan's Mansion was full of people.
I didn't expect to encounter such a battle.
The gate of Yuan's mansion was spacious, but it was crowded with all kinds of Yingying and Yanyan. Yuan Yunqiao stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at her with a slight smile like stars arching the moon.
"Miss Yuan, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zhang, Miss Chen, Miss Mo...why are you all waiting here?" Fu Yuzheng greeted everyone as he approached with a smile.
Everyone also called Mrs. Liu together, or nodded their heads, or saluted with blessings.
At the same time, everyone was astonished.
In the past, Fu Yuzheng seldom participated in various banquets held by them, and there was almost no contact with each other. She didn't expect that she could easily call out the names of them without any mistakes.
Fu Yuzheng seemed a little different from the arrogance and indifference they imagined.
It is inexplicably dreadful. There is a vague feeling that she is not easy to mess with.
Yuan Yunqiao took two steps forward to hold Fu Yuzheng's hand, half smiling and half angry, "Mrs. Liu forgot again, she just said yesterday that she will call me Yunqiao directly in the future. When I saw you today, why did you call me again?" Miss Yuan?"
"It's better to call Ms. Yuan by her boudoir name in private, but it's better to call Ms. Yuan on this kind of occasion. Courtesy is undeniable." Fu Yuzheng smiled, borrowing the skill of handing a gift, she pulled out her arm without a trace.
She and Yuan Yunqiao had only met twice in total, and they only met for the third time today, and they were not that familiar with each other, so familiar that they could hold hands.
She used to be a servant girl by the prince's side. After a long time, maybe she also developed a little cleanliness. If it wasn't someone very close, she didn't like others to touch her, even if it was just holding their arms.
Fu Yuzheng's estrangement made Yuan Yunqiao pause with a barely perceptible smile, and then she led everyone into the mansion as if nothing had happened, "Except for the princess of Nanling, everyone is basically here. I guess the princess lives in seclusion. I'm afraid I won't come to our banquet because of my temperament, everyone go in first."
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Liu and the concubine are sisters-in-law, and they have a lot of contacts on weekdays. You must have a good relationship, right? If the concubine knows that Mrs. Liu is coming to the banquet, she might come with her too!"
"That's right, why don't Ms. Yuan send someone to the Nanling Palace to invite each other? If the concubine can also be invited, then this banquet will be very special."
These words are not aimless, since Liu Yusheng married Nanling Wang Feng Qingbai, in the past four years, she has not participated in a banquet in the circle! If the concubine can be invited this time, the Yuan family will not mention the face, and those who come to the banquet will also have face.
Everyone was laughing and joking, originally they were all surrounded by Yuan Yunqiao, but after Fu Yuzheng came, they surrounded them together again, and all the conversations revolved around Princess Nanling.
Although everyone is not as friendly to Fu Yuzheng as they appear on the surface, but their husband's family has a deep background.
Of the many noble ladies present, only Fu Yuzheng had a relationship with Princess Nanling, and because of this, they were jealous and envious, but they had no choice but to curry favor.
Fu Yuzheng pretended not to understand the public hints, and smiled without saying a word.
Nannan doesn't like this kind of occasion. It's impossible for her to pull her over to give her face just because of a word or two from these people.
Yuan Yunqiao said helplessly to the crowd, "Wangfei, I sent a post invitation yesterday, and the time for the banquet was clearly stated. If people don't come at this hour, they probably won't come. I really want to I can invite her, but the princess doesn't like to attend the banquet, so don't force her."
Hearing this, everyone had no choice but to give up.
This banquet is called the Banquet of Appreciating Osmanthus, which is naturally related to the sweet-scented osmanthus.
Yuan Yunqiao led the people to the back garden of the mansion lightly. As soon as they entered the garden, everyone could smell the fragrance of flowers in the air.
"My great-grandfather liked sweet-scented osmanthus. Over the years, golden osmanthus has been planted the most in the back garden of our home, and many of them were planted by his own hands." Yuan Yunqiao pointed to the log pavilion not far away with a smile, "Let's go there and sit for a while. My great-grandfather and Master Liu often played chess there."
I feel that my inspiration has been wiped out, I can't write, and I cry on the keyboard. Today is a normal day, and I don’t know if I can catch up. If I can’t, I can only make up for it tomorrow. Sorry~ ouch~
