Concubine's true colors

Chapter 19
Song Jiaai's departure did not attract too much attention. Everyone only deliberately avoided her because she was embarrassed by being compared to Qin Yi.

However, all the ladies admired Xiao Jinlian very much, this person who was completely suppressed by the concubine, but could still sit still.

Even though her smile was so stiff and awkward, everyone couldn't help admiring her cheekiness while laughing at her.

And Xiao Jinxuan lost her original tranquility at this meeting. Aristocrats and ladies in twos and threes all surrounded her, asking her questions about pipa with curious faces.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan had a headache from being entangled and had to answer one by one, a arrogant voice suddenly came.

"I heard that today, a concubine who is better at playing the piano than Miss Song came to the Song residence. Who is it? Stand up and show the county lord."

As soon as the abrupt words sounded, the hall became completely silent.

It was Mrs. Song who was the first to react, and hurriedly introduced: "Everyone, everyone, this is Yuanning county lord, who is going to Yangzhou to visit and stay in my Song residence temporarily. Please pay respects quickly, everyone."

Mrs. Song looked calm, but there was a flash of worry in her eyes. Others didn't know, but she knew that her beloved daughter must have changed her plan and went to find the county lord.

But now the county lord came out by himself, and her daughter was not around, a bad premonition came to her heart.

Talking about other people, they suddenly heard that the pretty girl in front of them was actually a fourth-rank county lord, they were all surprised and rushed to salute.

He is of the fourth rank, and besides Mrs. Meng, who carries the order of the second rank, no one can compare with this county head.

But Qian Yingluo ignored everyone, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Jinxuan's figure, and the fire of jealousy and hatred in her eyes became more intense.

Why did Zhou Xianyu always disdain her, but not only confided his real name to this bitch, but also showed such a distraught look after the carriage left, she really wanted to see how this bitch was better than her.

Thinking like this, she went straight past the crowd, came to Xiao Jinxuan, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You are Xiao Jinxuan, lift your head up for the county lord."

Like everyone else, Xiao Jinxuan, who kept bowing her head in salutation, raised her head calmly when she heard this, and stared ahead quietly with her calm eyes.

When Qian Yingluo saw this face clearly from such a close distance, she snorted softly. She thought she was such a charming beauty, but unexpectedly she was soft and delicate. Other than that, there was nothing particularly conspicuous about it.

How can such a beauty be worthy of Zhou Xianyu, who is so beautiful in the world, except for her, Qian Yingluo, no one else is worthy of her.

Therefore, Qian Yingluo would not let anyone who dared to spy on Zhou Xianyu.

So she smiled sarcastically, and then said loudly: "Yazhi Beimo, such a talented concubine is rare, I will write a poem to praise you."

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly. The county lord seemed to be praising her, but her attitude was very bad, especially when she said the word concubine, she deliberately emphasized her tone. If she still feels uncomfortable If the other party is not kind, then it is too slow.

But Xiao Jinxuan was also quite speechless. When she returned to Yangzhou and went out for the first time, she was first run over by Song Jiaai, and now a county lord who spoke eccentrically came. Instinctively, she had a faint feeling that the two seemed to have some kind of connection.

While Xiao Jinxuan was still thinking, Qian Yingluo had already finished writing.

Then she picked up the paper, came to Xiao Jinxuan again, handed it forward and said: "This is a reward from the county lord, and you haven't read it out in public to thank you."

Looking at the county lord with a half-smile, Xiao Jinxuan didn't reach out to pick it up at all, but calmly declined, "The county lord's kindness, Jinxuan appreciates it, but it's just a play for the fun, and you don't deserve such a compliment."

It's just a fourth-rank county lord, and it's not good to think that his calligraphy is the emperor's imperial brush. This tone is really annoying.Although she doesn't want to make enemies out of thin air, she will never tolerate everything like in her previous life.

She used to have a good temper, but what she got in return was more wanton bullying from others. In this life, she would rather die vigorously than wrong herself and suffer from such uselessness.

Everyone didn't expect that Xiao Jinxuan refused directly. They thought the county lord would be annoyed, but they didn't expect her to be angry.

On the contrary, he took a few steps forward with a proud face, and said in a deliberately raised voice: "You are afraid, because you can't read at all, so you can't read."

These words instantly made Xiao Jinxuan the target of public criticism again. A lady from the official family, even if she is a concubine, must not be illiterate. This is no longer a matter of personal face. The whole family will even be ashamed. For a while, everyone is guessing, The county head's words are true and false.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't speak, just looked at Qian Yingluo calmly.

But her appearance, in Qian Yingluo's eyes, made the latter more determined. She is illiterate, and now she is just trying to calm herself down.

Taking a few steps forward, Qian Yingluo suddenly whispered, "Although I don't know where you learned the pipa, your mother doesn't allow you to read, so you can't even write your own name. Am I right? , the little bitch who seduces Brother Yu."

The last bit of Xiao Jinxuan's smile was also completely suppressed. The county lord actually investigated her, and just now Song Jiaai would target her abnormally. Now it seems that it is also his masterpiece.

Before, she couldn't figure out what the other party's reason was for doing this, but when she heard the voice of Brother Yu, she suddenly remembered who this Yuanning county lord really is.

In her previous life, she had really heard of the other party's name, that was when she just went to the capital, and after so many years, she almost forgot about it.

And the reason why the other party became famous was because of his obsessive love for the Seventh Prince Zhou Xianyu, who was almost obsessed, and became a man of the hour in Changping, the capital.

Back then she had heard that the No. 1 prostitute in the capital secretly promised His Royal Highness, but Qian Yingluo found out about it.

Without further ado, the county lord rushed into the brothel, gouged out the prostitute's eyes, and pulled out her tongue before giving up.

He also threatened that if there are still women who dare to look at Yu Wang and talk to Yu Wang, this will be the end!
But Zhou Xianyu's attractive appearance, which turned all living beings upside down, was so attractive that the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department disregarded the county head's warning and threw a purse to Yu Wang.

As a result, after Qian Yingluo found out about this, she directly stripped her naked, removed her tendons, and threw her on the street.

He also said that anyone who gave something to Zhou Xianyu indiscriminately would have his hands abolished.

This matter caused a lot of trouble at the time, thinking that the Minister of the Household Department had only one son and one daughter, and the only daughter died so miserable, he naturally refused to let it go, but in the end, the county head had a strong background, so he still let it go up.

Now that everything was aligned, Xiao Jinlian immediately thought that Zhou Xianyu stopped her carriage that day, she must have been seen by the county lord, and that's why the other party targeted her.

But after knowing the reason, Xiao Jinxuan was even more annoyed. If she really fell in love with Zhou Xianyu, she would not be wronged if she was targeted.

But she didn't have that thought at all, and she provoked such a jealous lunatic for no reason, which is simply a disaster without reason.

No wonder she only returned home yesterday, and her name was on the Song family's invitation card.But Xiao Jinying, who is also a concubine, was not among those invited.

At that time, she felt strange, but now looking at the whole hall, there is not a single concubine. It seems that the Song family did it deliberately, in order to completely highlight her humbleness and let her be excluded and ridiculed.

After figuring everything out, Xiao Jinxuan naturally wouldn't just sit still, and reached out to take the piece of paper. She glanced at it a few times, and suddenly asked with a smile: "The county lord really wants me to read it out in public."

Qian Yingluo just pretended to be Xiao Jinxuan, she was trying to hold on, and said impatiently: "What are you talking about? I told you to read it, so you should read it, hurry up."

Nodding her head, Xiao Jinxuan smiled lightly, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and said slowly: "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, call me immediately. Jun Moxiao, who is drunk on the battlefield, how many people have returned from the ancient battles?"

This gentle voice instantly made Qian Yingluo petrified on the spot. After a few seconds, she stared at Xiao Jinxuan with fiery eyes, unable to utter a word.

Are these spies all trash? Didn't it mean that this concubine has no talent or virtue, and knows nothing?
But now she is not only good at playing the pipa, but also literate, and now she is really ashamed, she has never been so embarrassed.

But before Qian Yingluo recovered from this wave of stimulation, Xiao Jinxuan's next wave of stimulation was delivered immediately.

She suddenly raised the paper she was holding in her hand, and said with a smile and kindness: "If I remember this poem correctly, it is a famous work by Wang Han, a poet of the former Tang Dynasty, but the county magistrate said it was for me. , but although this poem mentions the word pipa, it is a poem describing the hardships of the frontier and the fortress, which is quite inconsistent with today's situation."

Qian Yingluo's face turned red, she was always favored at home, and no one forced her to learn anything, today she just wanted to humiliate Xiao Jinxuan face to face, remembering that there was a word pipa in this poem, so she wrote it out, but what do you think, Now it has become the other party's reason to ridicule her.

Feeling the eyes of everyone in the hall looking at her, even if no one said anything, Qian Yingluo felt like a knife, which made her restless.

Seeing Qian Yingluo's embarrassment, Xiao Jinxuan sneered in her heart. If she dared to provoke her, then she had to be prepared to be abused. Xiao Jinxuan, who was annoyed by the other party's proud peacock-like appearance for a long time, did not intend to be so easy. Let go of the county magistrate.

Then, she suddenly pointed to the last line of verse on the paper, and asked in a questioning tone: "Also here, I remember how many people fought in ancient times, but the county lord wrote down how many people, could it be?" Did you do it on purpose, to test me?"

With a sound of "Puchi", among the guests, whoever laughed first, followed by suppressed laughter and discussions, couldn't be stopped.

Anyone can see that this county lord is not trying to test people. He is clearly ignorant and can write famous sentences wrong. Originally, he wanted to embarrass others, but now he has become the biggest joke. It's really overwhelming for everyone watching.

Qian Yingluo bit her lips tightly, her eyes were foggy, she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, as if she was going to cry in the next moment.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan who was still smiling at her, Qian Yingluo felt that she was going crazy.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, how had she ever been ridiculed like this, and all this was done by this bitch in front of her.Although she was the one who wanted to humiliate the other party first, but she is the head of the county, shouldn't she punish a lowly concubine?

Anyway, Qian Yingluo's point of view was that it was only natural for her to bully Xiao Jinxuan, but Xiao Jinxuan dared to resist, she deserved death.

Convincing that everything was Xiao Jinxuan's fault, Qian Yingluo immediately shouted sharply: "You bitch, you actually humiliated the county magistrate in public, Yazhi slapped me and hit me hard."

As soon as the young miss got angry, Qian Yingluo would immediately get rough no matter what the occasion was.

The young lady had given her orders, and Yazhi, who had always followed Qian Yingluo and was used to being domineering, was about to slap Xiao Jinxuan's mouth immediately, but was stopped by Zhuzi.

Don't look at Zhuzi who has been very nervous since she came in, but seeing that her young lady is going to suffer, she has the guts to come back and stop in front of Xiao Jinxuan without even thinking about it.

The chaotic scene in front of them made everyone anxious, but no one dared to go forward to persuade them, otherwise if something bad happened and offended the furious county head, they would be unable to eat and walk away.

At this moment, suddenly a white shadow leaped into the hall extremely fast, and saw a man, with a wave of a folding fan in his hand, instantly separated the bamboo and Yazhi who were wrestling together.

Then she turned around gracefully, blocking Xiao Jinxuan behind her, and opened the folding fan with a bang, and slapped it very casually.

Xiao Jinxuan was also taken aback by this sudden appearance, but when she saw the back in front of her clearly.

In a pair of eyes, crazy hatred poured out overwhelmingly, and her body even trembled slightly because of the excitement.

Ji Lingfeng, this man she will never forget even when he turns into ashes, even if it's just a back view, she is confident that she will never admit his mistake.

It turned out to be you, my good husband, and we met again so soon.
