Nongmen noble girl, she was conferred a god by her beauty

Chapter 218
The annual poetry meeting in Beijing is coming again, and this year's poetry meeting is more lively than previous years.

Apart from the fact that the Yong'an Hou Mansion once again fell into the eyes of the Holy Majesty and was released from transfer and returned to the capital, the other most important point is that Princess Linyue, who is much favored by the Holy Majesty today, is about to reach her birthday.

Because the little princess is very favored, the masters in the palace, especially Concubine Xian, who has contributed to raising the little princess, ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to organize the banquet early on, and must hold the banquet in a grand manner.

At the poetry meeting, the most talked about by the rich and noble daughters of various families was the return to the Yong'an Hou Mansion in the capital.

Although Yong'an Hou's Mansion has not lived in the capital these years, the girls of the Hou's Mansion are well-known, and the eldest daughter Chu Zhenzhen is astonishingly talented, just like a graceful and luxurious peony.

The second girl, Chu Yingying, has a beautiful appearance and is known as the most beautiful woman in the Changjin Kingdom. It is rumored that she is comparable to Luoshen.

The third girl is delicate and lovely, although not as good as the two elder sisters above, she is still very slim.

All in all, although the Yong'an Hou Mansion has been far away from the capital these years, the capital has not forgotten the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

Not everyone can enter the poetry club casually, they must have an invitation card issued by the organizer, and ladies need to hold an invitation card to enter.

Of course, only the surname of the family will be marked on the invitation, and it is up to them to decide which lady in the family they want to attend the banquet.

For example, the Yong'an Hou Mansion also received a post. Mrs. Chu is the head mother of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and this kind of greeting post is usually received by her.

In the past, Chu Zhenzhen, as the eldest daughter of the Hou family, could not get past her in this kind of banquet no matter what.

It's just that Chu Zhenzhen's status is embarrassing now, so after the maid beside her sent back the news that Mrs. Chu received the invitation post back to Fenghua Courtyard, she couldn't wait to run to the kitchen to make two snacks, and brought them to Mrs. Chu's table with both hands. In the main courtyard.

"Zhenzhen met her mother." Chu Zhenzhen bowed her body with a cute and steady face.

Mrs. Chu raised her head in a daze, and quickly waved to her, "Come here, why are you here at this time?" She said and put aside the greeting card she received.

Chu Zhenzhen saw it with the tip of her eyes, and her eyes flickered slightly, "Mother, Zhenzhen has made two new snacks, and I specially brought them here for my mother to taste."

Mrs. Chu smiled, "You, you, you are the honorable master of the Marquis of Yong'an, you don't need to touch the work done by these servants." Although she said so on the surface, she still took Chu Zhenzhen in her hand and brought it over I twisted a piece of pastry and brought it to my mouth, "Well, it's delicious, Zhenzhen's craftsmanship is good, no wonder Mother always praises your dim sum skills in front of me."

Chu Zhenzhen pursed her lips lightly, and said with a slight smile, "If mother likes it, Zhenzhen will make it a few more times and send it to you."

Mrs. Chu did not refuse, she nodded and said: "My lady is right, you are a caring girl."

Chu Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, the smile on her face was a little stiff.

If she doesn't know what's going on, I'm afraid Madam Chu's attitude towards her will change drastically...

It's ironic to think about it. One second, she was saying that Chu Zhenzhen, as the master of the Hou family, should not do these low-level jobs, but the next second, in order to satisfy her own appetite, she asked her to write and paint a pair of green onions specially for Chu Zhenzhen. The eldest lady makes snacks.

Chu Zhenzhen restrained the emotions on her face, raised her eyebrows, "Mother, this is..."

She went straight to the point, fixed her eyes on the poster on the table and asked softly.

Mrs. Chu was stunned for a moment, followed Chu Zhenzhen's line of sight, and suddenly realized: "What are you talking about?" The smile became more and more sincere, "This is a greeting card from the Poetry Club. It was just sent to the house this morning. Please accept it." let's go."

Chu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened slightly, "Mother, can this greeting card really be given to Zhenzhen?"

In the past, she was the noble eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, and it was only natural that Chu Zhenzhen would be honored by the Poetry Club, but now her identity is revealed, she is just the daughter of a peasant woman in the countryside, her identity is completely different from before. .

She thought... Mrs. Chu would definitely scold herself severely and make her not think about things she shouldn't think about, but she didn't expect...

"Mother, this greeting was posted to Zhenzhen, so... will the elder sister have any objections?"

The greeting card is for the Yongan Hou Mansion. Although one card can bring two people in, it is well known that the noble lady who really holds the card is the one that the poetry society really wants to invite, and the person with her is just a foil That's all.

Chu Zhenzhen's face was vaguely confused.

Why does she always feel that Mrs. Chu's attitude towards her eldest sister is a bit strange.

Obviously the two are mother and daughter connected by blood, but the atmosphere between them is very strange, and there is a sense of disharmony.

"What's her opinion?" Mrs. Chu unconsciously raised her voice, her tone was a bit sharp, which startled Chu Zhenzhen who was sitting beside her.

Mrs. Chu also understood that she had lost her composure, so she hurriedly sorted out her emotions, "I mean, Wan Ning has been living in the countryside these days and can't read a single word. If this post is handed over to her, wouldn't it make Yong'an Houfu lose it?" Big face?"

"Although Wan Ning is my own daughter, and she has just returned to the Marquis Mansion, privately, this post should be handed over to her, but publically, I cannot do so."

"Our Yong'an Hou Mansion was rejected by the Holy One for some reason, and now it's hard for the Holy Lord to let us go back. If it is because of Wanning that the Yong'an Hou Mansion loses face and it is heard by the Holy Lord, we will only think that all the girls in our Hou Mansion are the same. In this way, it has affected several other girls for no reason."

"For the sake of the reputation of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, my wife can't hand over the invitation to Wanning. As the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, she should understand my wife's painstaking efforts!" Mrs. Chu sighed deeply. , made a full appearance of humiliating.

Chu Zhenzhen always felt that something was wrong, but that thought quickly disappeared, and she still couldn't figure out why, so she had to put this thought behind her and said, "Everything my mother does is for the sake of Hou Mansion, Big Sister will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

Anyway, the purpose of her coming this time was for this post, and since the purpose was achieved, the rest is none of her business.

Chu Zhenzhen's identity has been spread to the capital, and there is still a big battle to be fought, if she can't make a big splash at the poetry meeting, then she is really finished!

Wait for her to gain a firm foothold in the capital first, and make up for big sister...

Mrs. Chu sighed, "I hope..."

**
The Fenghua courtyard was full of joy, and even the servants who cleaned the house were smiling and happy.

People from several other courtyards ordered people to come to inquire about what was going on.

When Chu Yingying got the news, she hurried to the second Madam Chu's yard and cried, "Mother, Auntie is really going too far, now that Chu Zhenzhen is not the eldest daughter of the Hou family, she still insists on handing over the invitation letter of the poetry meeting to her. "She said indignantly.
