Fortunate to know Qing peach noodles

Chapter 121

The three sisters took a car, and Wei Cishu took a car alone.

Wei Qiongju sat in the carriage and kept fiddling with his clothes and hair accessories, for fear that something would be unsatisfactory.King Kang is celebrating his birthday today, so she expected to see Mr. Shoufu...

As long as Wei Qiongju thinks of that person, his cheeks will be ashamed and his heart will sway.

Wei Qing turned a blind eye, but Wei Qiongjiu kept staring at Wei Qiongju, scratching his head and making gestures, and said, "Big sister is so beautiful today."

This was the first time that Wei Qiongjiu took the initiative to talk to Wei Qiongju after Aunt Mei had a miscarriage.

Wei Qiongju looked upright and reserved, and ignored her.

In the past, Wei Qiongju might still give her a good look, but ever since she encouraged Aunt Mei to compete for favor and show her ambition after Xu's loss of power, Wei Qiongju couldn't maintain a superficial friendship with her.

Heh, if it wasn't for Aunt Mei's miscarriage this time, I'm afraid she hasn't woken up from her daydream.

Now I know that I'm here to curry favor with myself again?

Wei Qiongjiu laughed, and said again: "Today, big sister will definitely be famous far and wide."

Wei Qiongju glanced at her, and said with great disdain: "It's up to you to say."

The carriage stopped in front of King Kang's Mansion.

Wei Qiongju lifted the brocade curtain lightly, and glanced out through the car window, only to see the grand courtyard, the guests coming and going, exchanging pleasantries.She stroked her hairpins again, and when she heard Wei Cishu talking outside, she got up first and got out of the carriage.

Wei Qing and Wei Qiongjiu followed behind.

There was a special butler in front of the palace to welcome the guests, and Wei Cishu brought the three daughters to present congratulatory gifts.The butler immediately ordered someone to lead them into the palace.

In the inner courtyard, male and female guests were entertained separately. King Kang invited Wei Cishu to sit in the place where the male guests gathered. His colleagues from the court and the central government were all present. A group of literati were nothing more than drinking tea, playing chess, and talking and laughing.

And the three young ladies of the Wei family were led by the maids to the inner courtyard of the palace, where they were with all the wives and young ladies.

The layout of this palace, along the way, willow-shaded flower paths, rockery ponds emerge endlessly, and the scenery in the garden is still full of vitality in this early winter season, without a trace of depression.

The size of the palace is not comparable to that of ordinary official households.It is the garden in the atrium, and it will take a while to finish shopping.

There were already many wives and ladies chatting and laughing together in this garden. When they saw the three Wei family sisters coming, they all cast their eyes in unison, and the chatting and laughing gradually quieted down.

Wei Qiongju's lotus steps are fragrant, and the corners of her skirt are like flowers blooming. She is half-lowered between her crescent eyebrows, looking forward to her posture, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she is indeed very beautiful.

Wei Qiongju took Wei Qing and Wei Qiongjiu to meet Princess Kang and the wives first, and then went to the pavilion to meet the ladies from various families.

Wei Qiongju thought that she was the most gorgeous woman today, and no one could match her, but when she approached and saw the ladies from various families, the smile on her face remained a little stiff.

All the ladies present here, if anyone is not well-bred, how could there be any difference in appearance and manners.Wei Qiongju was not considered the best among them at all, at best he could only be regarded as upper middle class.

Among the ladies, the host is Princess Lingshu of Kang Wang's family. As soon as Wei Qiongju came in, he looked her up and down with critical eyes, and said: "Miss of the Wei family seldom goes out and walks, but her reputation is very loud. Very much."

Someone next to her covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I heard that she is the number one beauty in the city."

"Seeing you today, that's all."

Suddenly Wei Qiongju was like a monkey juggling in a theater, letting everyone watch.She bit her lip, and bluntly said: "I have seen the princess, those are just other people's nonsense."

She originally thought that she was the daughter of the second-rank Shangshu of the court, and if she came here today, she would get some flattery.

But the ladies of the official family present, whose father is not a minister of the court, how can they think highly of the ladies from the local area.Ladies raised in the capital, no matter where you come from, as long as it is outside the capital, it is the countryside.

That feeling was like Wei Qiongju didn't like Wei Qing who came from the countryside back then.

Wei Qiongju was in charge of dealing with the girls, while Wei Qiongjiu obediently followed behind her, occasionally returning a sweet smile to the gaze cast by her surroundings.

For the ladies, Wei Qiongjiu's reaction was more pleasing, not as contrived as Wei Qiongju's.

Not long after I sat down, I heard a report in the garden, and Princess Jingyi arrived.

Princess Lingshu was overjoyed, and quickly got up to go to the garden to greet her. As soon as she left, a group of official ladies followed behind her.

Wei Qiongju couldn't react for a while, and fell behind, and belatedly felt that everyone else was going to greet her, and of course she couldn't sit alone, so she also got up and followed two steps.

Princess Jingyi has an honorable status and is on good terms with the county chief. She is used to hugging each other. When she entered the pavilion, she happened to see Wei Qiongju saluting slowly. When she walked to the main seat and sat down, she pointed at Wei Qiongju. Said: "Who is she?"

Princess Lingshu said: "She is the daughter of Master Wei, and her name is Wei Qiongju."

Princess Jingyi frowned and said, "Is your father the newly appointed Minister of the Household Department?"

Wei Qiongju replied, "Exactly."

Princess Lingshu said inexplicably: "When they first came to Beijing, they heard that Mr. Shoufu personally visited the door and sent a lot of things."

No wonder so many young ladies are hostile towards Wei Qiongju.

The main reason is that Shoufu is so popular among these girls waiting to be married.

All the official ladies present knew that Princess Jingyi had been in love with Lord Shoufu for a long time, and Princess Lingshu's mention of it undoubtedly lit the fuse.

Even if Wei Qiongju didn't know, he should have noticed a point or two at this time.

She smelled the smell of gunpowder, forced herself to be calm, and said in a gentle voice: "It is my father's honor to be appreciated by Mr. Shoufu."

Wei Qiongju knew how many people were waiting to see her joke!Thinking about a man like Shoufu, I'm afraid not only she is attracted to him, but few people present are not tempted!
Otherwise, why did Chief Lingshu intentionally bring the topic to Shoufu, making her a target of public criticism?
She can't make a fool of herself in front of these people today, otherwise she won't be able to hold her head up in the future.

Just in time, didn't Wei Qing want to compete with her for the first assistant, so Wei Qiongju asked her to compete with these princesses first!
Suiwei Qiongju paused for a moment, then smiled softly: "Last time, Mr. Chief Assistant did come to the humble house, and he gave some things. It's just that Mr. First Assistant came to see my second sister. Master Shoufu had an old relationship, second sister, are you right?"

As she said that, Wei Qiongju turned her head to look sideways, with a provocative smile in her eyes, but when she found her gaze, she paused immediately.Only then did he realize that besides Wei Qiongjiu, Wei Qing could not be seen sitting beside him.

Where did Wei Qing go?

When did she disappear?
