Chapter 27 The Jiang Family (2)
As the host, Jiang Yi couldn't stay here forever, so she handed over the errands of entertaining and Shou County Lord to Yuchen. No matter what, Yuchen can be regarded as the half master of the Pingqinghou Mansion.
Lord Heshou County said a few words to Yuchen, and then said to Yuxi: "Miss Yuxi's chess skills are extraordinary, and it happens to be fine today, how about a game of chess between you and me?"
Yuxi looked embarrassed, Yuchen said with a smile: "County Master, sister Yuxi is good at chess, but she has a problem, she plays chess too slowly. If the county master plays chess with her today, I'm afraid she will also play chess at lunch It’s not a game of chess.”
Lord Heshou County looked at Yu Xi's appearance and said with a smile, "Forget it." Not long ago, she asked someone to check Yu Xi's news carefully. Although she felt that something was wrong with Yu Xi, she couldn't find any clues. Carefully analyzing what Han Yuxi has done in the past few years, there is nothing particularly out of the ordinary. There are only two possibilities for this kind of result, either she was wrong, or Han Yuxi's disguise was too successful.
More and more guests came, even Yu Xiyu came over. Obviously, Yu Xiyu was more attractive to Heshou County Lord, and the two quickly talked together.
Yuxi was originally with Yuru, but when she saw Zhou Shiya coming over, she immediately went over and got tired of being with Zhou Shiya.
Zhou Shiya and Yuxi bit their ears, and said: "The Duan family rejected the Jiang family's marriage, and Sister Xin Rong won't come over." The wife suddenly rejected the marriage because of a disagreement, which annoyed the Jiang family. So this time Mrs. Jiang's 60th birthday, she did not send an invitation to the Duan family.
This matter is already in Yu Xi's guess: "Let's not talk about sister Xin Rong. I heard that your second cousin is forcing you to learn needlework every day?" When Yu Xi said this, her face was gloating, making her Zhou Shiya wanted to pinch her when she saw it. Of course, she would have done so if she hadn't had to maintain her image in public.
Zhou Shiya said with a bitter face, "Not only do I have to learn needlework, but I also need to learn cooking. I'm really living like a year now, and this year I finally came out!" Zhou Shiya is very particular about food and clothing, but it is difficult for her to do it herself.
Yuxi said helplessly: "You, you really don't know your blessings in the midst of your blessings." A child without a mother, even if he doesn't meet a vicious stepmother and doesn't worry about food and clothing, will take many detours in the future. In Yuchen's case, there are very few people who can be loved by both grandmother and grandmother. As for her, don't say anything.
Zhou Shiya heard Yuxi's implication, so she didn't continue this topic: "Speaking of which, I really admire you. You have learned so well the cooking skills of female celebrities. You don't have to worry about these things in the future."
There was a hint of helplessness on Yuxi's face: "Who said I don't have to worry? I have to learn from the housekeeper next year. Things like housekeeping are terribly trivial."
Zhou Shiya suddenly felt that the prospects were dark: "I can't escape! Cough, my fourth sister is going to get married at the end of the year. When you marry someone else's family, you have to serve your in-laws, please your husband, and beware of trouble from your concubine. I shudder." It's so good to be at home, but it's so difficult to go out.
Yuxi didn't know that Zhou Shiya was so pessimistic: "Your mother loves you so much, she will definitely marry you into a good family, you don't have to worry." Seeing Zhou Shiya still looking sullen, Yuxi said with a smile: "My The situation is more than ten times more difficult than yours, I am not worried, what are you worried about?"
The two were muttering when they suddenly heard a quarrel. Yuxi heard Yurong's voice and hurried out. Seeing that Qiu Yanfu's clothes were wet, and a lot of emerald green tea leaves were still stained on her dress, she looked very embarrassed. On the opposite side, a woman in autumn-colored clothes was looking at Qiu Yanfu with disdain.
Zhou Shiya pressed Yuxi's ear and said, "The woman in purple is Lin Mei, the sixth girl from Dingguo's mansion." Unfortunately, the relationship between the two has been weak these years. But in public places, everyone will maintain their superficial affection. This time, I don't know why.
Lin Mei raised her voice and said, "I said I didn't do it on purpose,
I have already apologized, I don't know what else you want? "
Qiu Yanfu's face was ashen, and she said angrily: "Did you apologize just now? Also, you clearly did it on purpose, deliberately pouring tea on my clothes." .
After Lin Mei heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched: "Then I don't know what Miss Qiu wants? Do you want money from me to accompany you? Tell me how much it is, and I'll have someone bring it to you when I return home. "
Qiu Yanfu was so angry that she couldn't speak. Lin Mei's words were blatantly humiliating her, humiliating her as a girl from a merchant family who only had money in her eyes.
Yurong was also very angry, and shouted with an angry face: "You deliberately splashed my cousin, and now you are here to spit blood, your family is this kind of upbringing?"
Lin Mei sneered and said, "No matter how bad the rules of our mansion are, we won't go around with someone who is nothing." Although Lin Mei is a concubine, her aunt is deeply loved by Duke Ding's son, so she has a good temper. very big.
Yu Rong was very angry, staring at Lin Mei and said: "Who are you saying is nothing? You are just a little concubine, how great do you think you are."
Lin Mei was furious, the pain of concubines was something she would never be able to describe. Yu Xi didn't look good, and immediately said: "Miss Lin, today is the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Hou Mansion. If there is a trouble, it will be of no benefit to anyone." family, followed by a reputation for not knowing priorities.
Lin Mei looked at Yuxi, and said with a faint smile: "I don't know that Miss Han Si is not only good at playing chess, but also good at talking."
Yuxi remained expressionless, and said, "You can't compare to Miss Lin." No matter how much you hate Yurong, you can't let her be bullied here.
Lin Mei glanced at Yurong and Qiu Yanfu, chuckled lightly, and said nothing. This also means that she no longer pursues it.
Seeing this, Yuxi looked at Yurong who was still full of anger, and said, "Fifth Sister, take Cousin Qiu to change clothes." In order to prepare for emergencies, they would always bring two sets of clothes when they went out. This is also why Yuxi said this.
Yurong muttered, "Where can I get some clothes?"
When Lin Mei heard this, she burst out laughing. She wanted to sneer, but when she saw Jiang Yi walking in from the outside, she tactfully said nothing.
Yuxi was afraid that Yurong would say something bad again, so she walked up to Jiang Yi and whispered: "Big cousin, Miss Lin accidentally wet Cousin Qiu's clothes just now. I don't know if big cousin can find cousin Qiu Change clothes?"
Jiang Yi glanced at Yuxi, smiled and ordered the maid beside her to take Qiu Yanfu to change clothes. Qiu Yanfu didn't know why, she looked at Yuxi and said, "Fourth cousin, can you go with me?"
People standing around are watching the show. How could Yuxi be like Qiu Yanfu's intention: "Let Fifth Sister go with you!" She always thought that Qiu Yanfu was very smart, and she didn't know what happened today.
Yurong didn't think much about it, she was going to go out with Qiu Yanfu originally.
I thought the matter would be over here, but I didn't expect that after half an hour, Jiang Yi's personal maid came over and muttered a few words on Jiang Yi's face, Jiang Yi's expression changed slightly, and then left in a hurry.
Yu Xi saw it in her eyes but didn't care. With so many guests coming to the Hou Mansion today, it is expected that there will be some problems, but the problems are big or small.
I don't know who suddenly said: "It's going to rain."
The sky is getting darker and darker, and it is misty. Soon, big raindrops fell from the sky, making the windows slap.
Zhou Shiya said in a low voice: "It's really not fair." No matter who is hosting a banquet, the most fearful thing is that the weather will be bad and it will be inconvenient to do anything.
When it was almost time for lunch, Yu Xi hadn't seen Qiu Yanfu and Yu Rong appear yet, so something bad flashed in her heart. Qiu Yanfu wanted to climb higher branches, in case something out of the ordinary happened today, it would be fine if Qiu Yanfu was alone, but Yurong followed her. Yurong and her are both prosperous and hurt, and she doesn't want to be implicated. At this time, Yu Xi felt a little regretful, she would not have let Yu Rong go with her if she knew it earlier.
Knowing Yu Xi's worry, Zhou Shiya said with a smile: "This is the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, even if something really happens, the Marquis Mansion will suppress it. Even if it's not for the reputation of their Marquis Mansion, it's for your third sister, your third sister Yu Chen is Mrs. Jiang's heart."
Yuxi was not relieved by Zhou Shiya's words. If Qiu Yanfu cared about her reputation, she would not have designed her second brother to marry her into thinking that she had ruined her innocence.
Many things are inconvenient when it rains, so the lunch time was pushed back by more than a quarter of an hour. At this time, Shiqin, the maid beside Yuchen, came over and whispered something in Yuxi's ear.
After Shiqin left, Zhou Shiya asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "My fifth sister and Qiu Yanfu are by my mother's side." As for what happened in the middle, the busy attendant Qin didn't talk about it just now, and I won't know until I go back.
The light rain outside was pattering down with no intention of stopping. It is not very convenient to serve food here in the Hou's Mansion, but the Pingqing Hou's Mansion is well prepared, and the food on the table is piping hot.
It is impossible to eat and drink in other people's houses. Like other girls, Yu Xi ate in small bites, and it took half an hour to finish a small bowl of rice.
After lunch, Yu Xi meets Yu Ru and Yu Jing. Yu Jing looked at Yu Xi alone, and asked a little strangely: "Where are Fifth Sister and Cousin Qiu?"
Yu Xi smiled and said: "It's at my mother's place." Yu Jing is not a person who takes care of the overall situation, if she is told that there is something weird, she will definitely scream, and then there will be nothing wrong.
Yu Jing glanced at Yu Xi suspiciously, but no matter how reckless she was, she knew that this occasion was not suitable, so she just kept this matter in her heart.
