The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 28 The Banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion

"The righteousness of salvation cannot be forgotten," Qiao Shan'er said resolutely, "and the body of this servant is not so delicate, so now I can serve you with Sister Bihe."

"There is no shortage of people around me to serve, but you, if you don't cure your illness, you will suffer from some kind of illness, not to mention serving me in the future, and even taking care of yourself will be a problem." Changsun Jingrong persuaded, "Take care of the illness first." Raise well, there will be time when you will help me in the future."

"But the maidservant has almost recovered from her injuries, and she is really anxious to lie in that small courtyard all day long."

Bihe laughed out loud, and said, "You are really strange. Other slaves have no chance to rest. Fortunately, you just refuse to rest. If you are so willing to do it, if I am your original master, I won't bully you in life or death, so I will let you serve by my side for the rest of my life."

Qiao Shan'er rubbed her upturned nose, she looked cute and innocent, and said in a crisp voice: "People in the Lu family only know how to compare each other, and the servants always bully me, I hate them. But you are different, The lady is kind-hearted and let me recuperate. Sister Bihe treats me well, she always sends me medicine and supplements. I like you, so I want to be with you and prevent the wicked from bullying you."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Bihe's heart warmed, and she felt that she had read the right person, and this girl knew how to repay her kindness.But after listening to the second half of the sentence, Bi He couldn't help asking: "The villain? Who is the villain?"

"Of course it's the second young lady and that aunt Jiao." Qiao Shan'er said as a matter of course, "Yesterday, the slave girl was in the small courtyard, and their mother and daughter came here aggressively, saying that the slave girl was infected with an infectious disease. Throw the slaves out. At the beginning, they just threatened them with words, saying that if the slaves don't leave, no one will take care of them even if they are killed there. But if the slaves really have that kind of disease, you will tell the slaves, so I They didn’t believe their words. Seeing that the words were useless, they found a few servants, holding sticks in their hands, and made a vicious look. But after several times of intimidation, they saw that the servants were not moved at all, so they began to curse and speak ill of you The maidservant got angry for a while, so she poured tea all over the second young lady."

Hearing this, Bi He looked at Qiao Shan'er in surprise, and asked, "You splashed the second young lady with tea!? Did Aunt Jiao scratch your face?"

"She thought, but how could I be so stupid to let them get close to me? I threw out all the things that could be used around me, and they used all kinds of colors on their bodies. When they came, their clothes were filthy and they were in a hurry to go back and change them, so they didn't pester me. And the housekeeper knew that I belonged to the eldest lady, so he didn't dare to criticize me, so the matter passed."

Whenever she thinks of her eldest grandson Wanyue's embarrassing appearance, Bihe can't help laughing, clutching her stomach and saying: "Oh, there was such a wonderful thing yesterday, miss, it would be great if we went back earlier, maybe It's a good show. But why didn't the housekeeper come to mention this matter? According to the temperament of Aunt Jiao and Second Miss, they will also complain to the master."

"The situation is different now. Even if they complain to daddy, it depends on whether daddy will pay attention to them."

The current status of eldest grandson Jingrong is no longer as simple as a daughter of a thousand gold.She has the ability to turn the tide and change the current situation of the eldest grandson's family. It's too late for her father to pamper her, so why would she accuse her of trivial matters?

Hearing this, Bihe looked at Qiao Shan'er with a smile, gave a thumbs up, and said in admiration: "You are really amazing, you have only been here for a few days, and you have done what I have been thinking about for many years, but have never dared to do." thing!"

Inexplicably praised, Qiao Shan'er was still a little confused, and said: "Actually, I have a very good temper. As long as they don't talk nonsense and do things that hurt the eldest lady, I will get along well with them."

Seeing Qiao Shan'er's serious appearance, the eldest grandson Jingrong and Bi He couldn't help but smile.

……

At night, the Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with bright colors, and the lanterns were hung on the eaves, stretching far away, like clusters of brocade.In front of the spacious hall, servants and maids shuttle back and forth, holding all kinds of delicate delicacies, which are fragrant.

As the key person tonight, the prime minister's wife, Liu Xiangzhi, was wearing a tuanfushou robe, with gold hairpins wrapped around her hair, and sat on the first seat with a red face. Looking at the ladies who came to the birthday banquet, she said with a smile: "Today, ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy your face." It is really an honor for our prime minister's mansion to have a gathering here. I have no talents in my mansion, so I specially set up a small banquet to entertain you, I hope you all have a good time."

"Prime Minister, you are welcome!"

"That's right, everything here is exquisite. If it weren't for your praise, we wouldn't have had the chance to taste such delicacies!"

……

The compliment that was louder than the other made the prime minister's wife enjoy it very much. Although she was humbled again and again, it could be seen from her smile that these women were right.

"Madam Gu is here~"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the servant suddenly sang promises loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Gu Jiaru Niang is too late today!"

"That is, she is the first to arrive on such occasions on weekdays. Is there something going on at the house today?"

Amidst all kinds of speculation, Xiao Runiang arrived in a dazzling light.And those who saw her posture all opened their mouths in shock.

Today's Xiao Runiang is wearing an ordinary palace bun, with only two jade hairpins inserted obliquely on it, and the jewelry she wears is also quite satisfactory.But the long skirt she was wearing made people unable to move their eyes away.

Just look at Xiao Runiang wearing a light blue floor-length skirt with pearls embroidered on the tail, she swayed every step, revealing a radiant light.The skirt is embroidered with auspicious fish pattern, in the summer night, it is like the fish swimming freely in the mysterious deep sea.

Liu Xiangzhi also stared at the long dress, and said with admiration: "Ru Niang's dress today is really eye-catching. Once you enter the venue like this, you will attract everyone's attention."

Sitting on the designated seat with a smile on her face, Xiao Ruiniang said: "Where is it, Runiang is just a foil today, and you are the most shining one. Looking at your life clothes, you are really luxurious, and only Only you can match this kind of clothes."

"Oh, you girl, your mouth is still so sweet, every sentence seems to have been smeared with honey."

Talking and laughing with the people around, after a while, a singer came forward, singing and dancing, very lively.

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Runiang walked up to Liu Xiangzhi, raised a box with a smile, and said: "Today, I really have something to do in the house, so I came a bit late, and I haven't had time to send a congratulatory gift. What about my present, although It’s not a precious thing, but it also represents a bit of Ru Niang’s heart.”

"Ru Niang really has a heart." Liu Xiangzhi reached out to take the box, opened the lid, and saw a crystal painting lying inside.If you take a closer look, you will find that the person in the painting is actually Liu Xiangzhi.

"My God, who is this skillful craftsman who can carve and paint on the crystal, and still be so vivid, it's really amazing!"

There are people with troubles around, and they leaned forward to take a look, but just one glance, they were so shocked that people could not close their mouths from ear to ear.

As soon as the exclamation came out, the people around moved closer one after another. After seeing it, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Received such a generous gift, Liu Xiangzhi naturally had face, and besides being overjoyed, she also said a few polite words, saying: "It's not my birthday, why do you give such a generous gift, it's really embarrassing."

"Ma'am, what you said is wrong. Is your birthday a trivial matter? We all keep it in mind." Xiao Runiang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Besides, my gift is not expensive, I just care about a clever word. But when it comes to the origin behind this painting, it’s quite a coincidence.”

"Oh, does this painting have a source?"

Nodding her head lightly, Xiao Ruiniang said: "Originally, I didn't know what to give to the prime minister's wife to express the congratulations in my heart. It was by chance that when I was making this fancy dress, the lady told me For me, there is another rare art in the world, which is especially good as a gift, and that is the colored glaze painting. It’s just that there are not many people in the capital who know how to paint colored glaze, and it was the young lady who searched for me in every possible way to find a good artisan.”

All the ladies, who were already envious of Xiao Runiang's gorgeous clothes, now heard the clues, and immediately pricked up their ears, inquiring around.

"Ru Niang, I think the workmanship of your clothes is very unique. I thought it was made by some master. But from what you said just now, it seems that you are not a master."

"That's right," Xiao Runiang nodded and said slowly, "She is a friend of mine, and she can be regarded as a lady of everyone. But she is very skillful in craftsmanship, and I also took a fancy to her craftsmanship, so I was sluggish and begged her to give her a hand. I made this fancy dress."

"Then who is this lady? We often walk around, why have we never heard of any lady with such craftsmanship?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Runiang purposely put it off, raised the wine glass in front of her, sipped it lightly, and then said: "Don't tell me you don't know, I didn't know her well half a month ago. If If it wasn't for a misunderstanding, I wouldn't have gotten acquainted with this eldest grandson's lady either!"

In the corner, a delicate figure, when he heard the words "Changsun's family", his movements suddenly froze, his eyes were a little fierce, but disappeared in an instant.

"The eldest grandson's family? Could it be the eldest grandson's family of the three major families?"

Xiao Runiang nodded with a smile, acquiescing to this statement.

Among the female guests, some of them had heard of the name of Changsun Jingrong's needlework, patted their foreheads, and said, "Oh, isn't it from the Changsun Shuzhina school? I've heard of her before, and she really has a pair of skillful hands. Everything is alive and well. A while ago, I still outperformed everyone in the Women's Poetry Club, but unfortunately I felt unwell and finally quit the Women's Poetry Club."

"This elder sister is right, it is indeed the eldest grandson Jingrong," Xiao Ruiniang seemed to unintentionally tugged at the bottom of her skirt, and under the candlelight and moonlight, the skirt was like the surface of the sea at night, shimmering, and the surroundings could be seen All the girls are envious, "It's a pity that Jingrong has a gentle temper and doesn't like to fight for beauty. Otherwise, with her skill, she would have been robbed long ago and asked her to make clothes."
