Fortunate to know Qing peach noodles

Chapter 120
King Kang is the emperor's only brother, who ignores the government and is granted the title of idle king.Once there are no conflicts of interest and Kang Wang stays under the emperor's eyelids very peacefully, the brotherhood between the emperor and Kang Wang will be quite harmonious.

This time the Weifu received the invitation, it should be the first time since entering the capital that he has formally integrated into the circle of the capital.

The invitation was drawn up by Concubine Kang herself, and it was stated on the post that the three young ladies of Weifu were invited to the banquet together.

For the three ladies of the Wei family, for the wives and ladies in Beijing, they are still at the stage of only hearing their names but not seeing them.Moreover, the Wei dictionary is so highly valued by the chief minister of the cabinet, everyone has long wanted to lift the veil of the Wei family.

I heard that the eldest lady of the Wei family was once the number one beauty in the provincial capital.

These news were naturally released by the Wei family themselves, with the intention of creating a good image for Wei Qiongju.

In the past few days, Mrs. Xu prepared clothes and jewelry for Wei Qiongju, which should be the best in the house.As for the dresses sent to Wei Qiongjiu and Wei Qing, they couldn't be repeated again.

Of course, no one can steal her daughter's limelight when she goes to Kang Wang's mansion for a banquet.

Mrs. Xu did not forget to prepare herself a costume for the banquet that day, and happily waited for the day when King Kang would celebrate his birthday.

On this day, in the morning, the old lady asked everyone to pack up and go to the dining hall to have breakfast.

Wei Qiongju was well-dressed, wearing a water-blue long dress, needless to say she was graceful, graceful, gentle and charming, the old lady nodded with satisfaction when she saw it.

Wei Qiongjiu is also dedicated, the pink skirt complements her sweet face, and her smile is very pleasing.

And Wei Qing... the old lady looked at Wei Qing, her old face sank.

She was still the same as when she was at home, not to mention well-dressed, and she didn't even bother to apply rouge and gouache.She was also wearing an ordinary taupe-colored skirt, without any extra decorations on her body.

The old lady said: "Didn't Mrs. Xu deliver new clothes to your courtyard yesterday?"

Wei Qing said: "Going back to grandma, my mother gave it to me, but I just thought that the eldest sister is the first daughter, and I am just a foil, it's better to be simple."

Mrs. Xu snorted, "For you to be sensible, we, Qiongju, are the protagonists today."

Wei Qing ate porridge as if nothing had happened, who cares if she is the protagonist or not.

Since he was going to a banquet, Wei Qingquan thought that he was there to eat and drink, not to go on a beauty pageant for a blind date, why should he be so grand and exquisite?She just needs to be generous and not rude. What does it matter to her if these goblins compare each other?

It's just that when someone else celebrates their birthday, you still want to compete for the leading role in other people's territory. Are you out of your mind?
At this time, Aunt Mei Shi Shiran said: "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

The old lady said: "But it doesn't matter."

Aunt Mei said: "Wei Qing's biological mother was the master's wife back then, do the officials in Beijing know that the master has already set up another wife?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table fell silent.

Xu was the first to shout angrily, "Aunt Mei, what do you mean by that!"

Aunt Mei's words brought the old lady and Wei Cishu back to their senses.

But all dignitaries with some seniority in Beijing know that Wei Cishu once married Miao Lan as his wife.Several years have passed now, even if Miao Lan is gone, Wei Cishu has set up a second wife, but absolutely few people know that this second wife was raised by the original concubine.

It would be fine if Xu's natal family was a dignitary, but she was originally from a humble horse dealer, and her natal family is useless now. If those officials and wives know about it, it will be a joke!
After Miao Lan's death, Wei Cishu couldn't help Xu's every night hearing, and her ability to pester people, and Wei Zigui was the only male in the Wei family, so he helped her upright because of this.At that time, she and the Xu family really did their best to help him with a lot of things.

But the old lady and Wei Cishu couldn't be more clear about Xu's virtues now.

If she went to Kang Wang's mansion, she wouldn't listen to other people's gossip, and started a disturbance in his place, then she wouldn't want the Wei family's face in the capital.

Seeing that the old lady and Wei Cishu were really thinking about this matter, Mrs. Xu immediately became angry and said to Aunt Mei: "What are you, when will it be your turn to speak!"

As soon as Mrs. Xu opened her mouth, she strengthened the old lady's determination, saying: "Mr. Xu will not go today, let my son take the three granddaughters. Qiongju is not young anymore. As the eldest sister, she takes two granddaughters with her. Sister, you should be able to stand alone among the female relatives."

Mrs. Xu refused to accept, and said: "Why can't I go, I am now the wife of the Wei family! Did I embarrass you?"

The old lady patted the table and said: "You are embarrassing the Wei family with your current appearance!"

Aunt Mei's reminder made the old lady and Wei Cishu realize that if Wei Cishu wants to maintain a good reputation, it is best not to let outsiders know that there is a concubine from a horse merchant in the family who becomes his wife.

Fortunately, this matter was not announced to the outside world before, and it was only after going to other places that Xu was righted. As long as Xu didn't show up on big occasions casually, he wouldn't reveal his true colors.

Wei Qiongju didn't say anything, just ate quietly.She knows Xu Shi's temper best, if Xu Shi makes a little trouble outside, she will be the one who will be implicated.Therefore, when the old lady made this decision, she also acquiesced in her heart.

Later, the old lady told Wei Qiongju that if someone asked her, she would say that her mother Xu's family was from a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was just that she was ill at home and should not go out.

Wei Qiongju nodded in response.

Mrs. Xu pointed to gaining a foothold in the capital circle and feeling proud, but now she was disturbed by Aunt Mei's words, and it seemed that it would be more difficult to attend various occasions in the future.

For a moment Xu couldn't swallow this breath, after breakfast, she walked up to Aunt Mei, raised her hand and slapped it down.

At that time, Aunt Mei screamed, shrank and hid in Wei Cishu's arms.

Wei Cishu's face was ashen, he stopped Xu Shi with one hand, and slapped her face with the other hand.

Mrs. Xu threw herself on the table, and the tea bowls and porcelains bumped and rattled.

Wei Cishu said angrily: "A shrew, who dares to fight regardless of the presence of the old and the young! Someone, pull her out, such a misbehavior, humiliating the family style..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Qiongju got up and knelt in front of Wei Ci, begging: "Father, please calm down, mother is just a bit impatient, I beg father to forgive her this time, and mother will definitely change in the future!"

Xu's face turned pale, and suddenly felt that if Wei Qiongju didn't come out in time to stop the conversation, he would not know how heartless Wei Cishu would say.

Wei Qiongju's eyes were full of tears, and finally Wei Ci wrote: "Qiongju, get up, it's time to go to Kang Wang's mansion." He looked at Xu Shi again and said, "For Qiongju's sake, I will forgive you for the time being. Back!"

Wei Qiongju got up, wiped away his tears, his eyes were slightly cold.Every time Xu can't hold her breath, how many times will she give her aftermath?
Wei Qiongju went back to the courtyard to touch up her makeup, and then went out together with Wei Qing and Wei Qiongjiu, boarded the carriage, and headed for Kang Wang's mansion.
