Concubine's true colors

Chapter 17 Banquet Storm (1)

Mrs. Song, the governor of the government, invited her, so Xiao's residence naturally had to accept the invitation.

Early the next morning Ning prepared the carriage and took Xiao Jinlian and Xiao Jinxuan out.

This was Xiao Jinxuan's first time participating in a banquet after her return. With the memories of two lifetimes, she naturally wouldn't be as cautious and cautious in everything as in her previous life, but in the end she still messed up and made people laugh.

In the past, she even participated in palace banquets, but now this banquet in the Song Mansion really has nothing to make her nervous.

So as soon as she arrived at the Song Mansion, she looked calm, seeing the bamboo beside her, living in the countryside since she was a child, where has she seen such a scene, now she doesn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Zhuzi's appearance immediately attracted Xiao Jinlian's contempt for a while: "Sure enough, there are some maidservants if there is a master. You should go home quickly with this appearance, so as not to embarrass yourself."

As soon as Zhuzi was said, the circles of his eyes immediately turned red, feeling that he had humiliated Xiao Jinxuan, and he lowered his head even more for a moment.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled coldly, this second sister really didn't know what to do, she would come to trouble her whenever she found a chance, but it was not her turn to teach her servants a lesson.

Stepping forward a few steps, blocking the anxious bamboo behind her, Xiao Jinxuan looked directly at the other party, and said with a half-smile: "Why don't you bother the second sister with the bamboo, but you are the only one who has released the restraint. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will anger your father, and you may be afraid that the second sister will not be so lucky next time and will be released in advance."

Because the Song Mansion's invitation card clearly stated the name of the invitee, Xiao Jinlian, as the second-in-law daughter, was naturally among those invited.

As the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, Xiao Heng naturally released her restraint and allowed her to come out to the banquet.

If it is said that her maid is ashamed, then Xiao Jinxuan does not suggest to remind the other party who is more ashamed.

Xiao Jinlian was furious. No one in Xiao's family dared to talk to her like this. She was dissatisfied and wanted to speak again, but was grabbed by Ning Shi who came behind her.

"Lian'er, don't pay attention to this girl, let's go." After speaking, she gave Xiao Jinxuan a look, and Ning took her daughter and left.

After several confrontations, Ning could tell that this Xiao Jinxuan was no longer the doormat she was back then. The other party was like a hedgehog. If you touched her, you would definitely prick yourself with blood.

So Ning Shi, who had thought clearly, immediately regained her composure. If she didn't pinch Xiao Jinxuan's Achilles' heel, she would not act rashly again.

Looking at Ning's mother and daughter walking away, Xiao Jinxuan snorted.

In fact, if the other party wasn't provoking her, Xiao Jinxuan didn't plan to do anything to them.

Although in the previous life, this aunt and sister were very harsh on her and often made things difficult for her, but in the final analysis, there is no major enmity between the two parties.

In the end, it wasn't the aunt who killed her.

From the beginning to the end, the people she hated the most were Ji Lingfeng and Xiao Jinyu.

As long as Ning's mother and daughter don't bother her again, she is willing to live in peace with each other, but seeing the look Ning gave her before leaving, Xiao Jinxuan also knows that this hope is probably very slim.

After dismissing Xiao Jinlian, she took the bamboo and walked into the tea hall prepared by the Song family. There were six tables in the hall, with various snacks and tea, which should have been prepared early.

I saw that many ladies and ladies had gathered here, all of them were luxuriously dressed and elegant.Gather in twos and threes, talk softly, taste and drink tea.

Xiao Jinxuan was not interested in these things, she walked to the side and sat alone, quietly watching the Yingyingyanyan that was full of the room.

But at this moment, a young girl in a warm green embroidered velvet skirt and a jadeite hairpin on her head walked slowly towards her.

I saw this man with a small cherry mouth and eyebrows curved like willows, but his eyes were too slender and charming. Although his face was beautiful, his rouge was unavoidably thicker.

Seeing this girl come to Xiao Jinxuan, she looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "You all come to see, a new sister has come today, I don't know which family the younger sister is from, such a beauty, she must be a noble girl .”

Noble daughter refers to the prostitute's daughter, and the general concubine should not be called so.

Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't attracted anyone's attention, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention because of the words of the girl in green.

The young ladies from various mansions who were sitting elsewhere also gathered around one after another, all of them looked at Xiao Jinxuan with curious or probing expressions.

Although she was going to a banquet today, Xiao Jinxuan did not dress up specially, she was still wearing a purple skirt, but it was rude, and she wore a rare and brightly colored hairpin with eight treasures and rubies in her hair. decent.For a moment, everyone really felt that the woman in green was right. With such a temperament, she was definitely a noble daughter, but they had never heard of it before.

But when everyone was guessing again and again, Xiao Jinlian's narrow voice came: "Sister Song, you really know how to joke, the noble girl you are talking about is just my concubine sister, you don't really think her What is it, Miss Concubine?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinlian really felt extremely happy. In front of so many people, revealing Xiao Jinxuan's identity as a concubine made the other party have nowhere to hide, and was despised by everyone. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Sure enough, the ladies who originally planned to go forward to make friends with Xiao Jinxuan all stopped with mocking expressions on their faces. Today, all the ladies who were invited to come here are all the ladies from various mansions. Such a humble concubine, let alone making friends Yes, that is to say, they all feel that they have lost their identity.

And that green-clothed woman was actually none other than Song Jiaai, the only daughter of Yangzhou Governor Song Peng's only daughter.

But this Miss Song showed a look of disbelief at this time, and asked in surprise: "Sister Jinlian, are you joking with us? A younger sister, how come I don’t know.”

Xiao Jinlian was eager for someone to ask her this meeting, so she immediately said: "It's not surprising that you sisters don't know her. She is my fourth younger sister. She has been raised in Zhuangzi since she was born, and she just came back yesterday. As for her temperament, is Sister Song the best?" Talk about her rustic look?"

After mockingly speaking, Xiao Jinlian covered her mouth and started laughing. Seeing what she said, all the young ladies also found it funny, and laughed coquettishly.

Xiao Jinxuan watched coldly, surrounding her, these concubines who ignored her existence, laughed at and despised her at will, didn't even change their expressions.

The huge difference between the concubine and the concubine, she had already experienced the numbness in the previous life, if these concubine children can put the concubines in their eyes, then they will be hell.

In the minds of this group of people, concubines are a group of the most humble and shameless existences, they are their natural enemies, they were born to fight for things with them, expecting these people to be friends with her, a concubine, is better than hoping for gold to fall from the sky. It's more reliable.

But it was the daughter of the Song family who really caught her attention. Xiao Jinxuan always felt that the other party came after her on purpose, and those seemingly unintentional words pushed her into an embarrassing situation.

But after thinking about it, she felt that she was thinking too much. She and this Song Jiaai had no intersection, whether in the previous life or in this life. If it was really intentional, she really couldn't think of the reason why the other party did it what.

But at this moment, Song Jiaai suddenly said: "No matter what, since Miss Xiao Si is here, she is a guest of my Song family. As the host, I must make everyone happy. Come here, sister. Go sit with your sister."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but pull up Xiao Jinxuan and sat down at the table at the top. Compared to other places, the people sitting here were all the wives and ladies of official families.

At this time, Mrs. Song, who had been busy entertaining everyone, saw her daughter came back, and hurriedly said: "Jiaai is here, mother. I just talked to all the ladies. Everyone wants you to learn piano art from a famous teacher." Let's see if your piano skills have improved, come quickly and play a song for everyone."

Sitting beside Mrs. Song, a rather short and fat noble lady also said with a smile: "Miss Song has always been known as a qin fairy, and now she has Qiuyue Niang. This qin art master pointed out, I will wait for today. Good luck."

The husband of this woman who spoke was the magistrate of Yangzhou, and Song Fu Yin was her husband's immediate boss, so what he said was naturally as flattering as he wanted.

Ning, who was sitting next to Mrs. Song, just smiled, but didn't say anything. Although her daughter, Xiao Jinlian, was beautiful, she was not very talented, so naturally she couldn't speak up, saving face. Be compared.

Hearing this, Song Jiaai smiled shyly, and then said: "It's an honor for Jiaai to present music to everyone, but it's boring to play alone, so why not play with my sister?" She smiled brilliantly. , but this question was asked while looking at Xiao Jinxuan.

Asking herself to play together, Xiao Jinxuan was really surprised. I didn't hear what Xiao Jinlian said just now. She grew up in Zhuangzi, so she looks like someone who has learned temperament just because of her background.

And knowing that she definitely wouldn't, and making such a request, Song Jiaai was either stupid as a pig, or she did it on purpose.

And Xiao Jinxuan didn't think that this daughter of the Song family was stupid, then there was only one possibility left, this Song Jiaai was deliberately embarrassing her!

It was too late to think about why the other party was like this, because now everyone's eyes were on her again, and the ladies who knew her identity before showed a look of watching the show.

And Ning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Jinxuan, since Ms. Song invited you, you can play a song with her."

Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart, this Ning family really doesn't want to be friendly with her, she doesn't want to let go of the slightest chance to suppress her, others don't know what kind of life she is living in Zhuangzi.

Would this aunt who had watched her for 11 years not know?She can't even write words, how can she be able to play music.

Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unrighteous. If you want to see me make a fool of yourself in public, let's see who is more embarrassing, Xiao Jinxuan thought in her heart.

Then she smiled calmly, and said meekly: "Mother told me, daughter will naturally follow. It's just that Jinxuan is inevitably nervous when she first comes here. I want to ask my second sister to play with me. Mom, can you agree?"

Ning frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and said: "You girl is so shy, Lian Er, then you can accompany your fourth sister."
Just let the concubine come out to play, now it will be her own daughter's turn, if she refuses, it will inevitably make people feel that she is deliberately making things difficult for the concubine, although she really thinks so, but it must not be seen by others.Externally, she must be the most appropriate wife of Jiedushi.

Although my daughter's rhythm is not good, it's okay to play a song without making mistakes. Anyway, Xiao Jinxuan is at the bottom. At that time, everyone will only laugh at each other's stupidity, and no one will hold on to Lian'er.

However, Xiao Jinxuan agreed so happily, it still faintly made Ning very uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
