Chapter 570
"I didn't bring Lanshan here. She came after receiving the invitation from the Yongding Marquis Mansion." Mu Qianjiao couldn't understand Lu Qingying's face, and stood up to speak for He Lanshan.

"How is it possible?" Lu Qingying was taken aback when she heard the words, she couldn't believe it.

She only took a serious look at He Lanshan today, and she didn't want to admit that she had a good appearance and a good temperament, and she didn't want to believe that she, an ordinary girl, knew people in Yongding Hou's mansion Invited to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet.

"Who do you know in the Hou's mansion? Who sent you the invitation?" Lu Qingying took a step forward and asked in an aggressive tone, as if she was catching a traitor.

Of course, He Lanshan would not tell her about her acquaintance with Shao Juntang, nor would she bother to respond to her doubts.

She glanced back at Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou, signaling them to go in.

"Let's go." Mu Qianjiao nodded knowingly, ignored Lu Qingying, and pulled Lu Qingying and He Lanshan in together.

Lu Qingying seemed to want to catch up and question something, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu who was behind her.

"That's enough, I'm going to the Marquis's Mansion right now, you might have to catch up with the quarrel." The neglected Mrs. Lu felt a little annoyed, and felt that her daughter really had no vision and was useless, so she became even more angry.

After Mrs. Lu scolded her like this, Lu Qingying also realized that she had almost lost her demeanor as a young lady, so she immediately lowered her head and listened obediently. Afterwards, the two of them also went in with the guests who came to Yongding Houfu.

Before the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet started, the guests who entered Yongding Hou's Mansion began to chat in twos and threes.

He Lanshan stayed with Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou all the time, and when they met people they knew well, they would get together to say hello and chat.

If she is not familiar with someone, He Lanshan knows that her status is considered low among these guests, so she will not take the initiative to get acquainted or talk loudly to show off, but will just quietly follow behind Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou.

Such a banquet in the capital is a common scene for Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou, so they can handle it with ease, like a fish in water.

They took He Lanshan with them, and sometimes introduced new people to her, but most of the time He Lanshan didn't participate in the discussion, but just listened from the sidelines. From time to time, their eyes would be attracted by the scenery elsewhere, and they would look up at other places.

For this Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, although He Lanshan received an invitation by accident, she is actually not sure which room in Yongding Hou Mansion hosted it, but seeing how everyone is chatting casually, it is the owner Not yet there.

After a while, He Lanshan heard a lively sound not far away, and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the scene surrounded by everyone, she finally met an acquaintance whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Shao Juntang.

Today's Shao Juntang is full of spring breeze, and looks more elegant and personable, but for some reason, He Lanshan just feels that the smile on his face seems a bit deliberate and false, the smile doesn't reach the bottom of the eyes, making her feel a little bit from a distance cold.

Shao Juntang was chatting with the guests, talking and laughing at Yanyan, He Lanshan noticed that he and a dignified, beautiful and well-dressed lady next to him looked at each other from time to time, with a gentle smile on his face.

He Lanshan saw that the woman was about 30 years old, with a mature charm and the most radiant appearance of a woman, so she guessed in her heart that if she could be with her on such occasions, she would be his regular wife.

Thinking of this, He Lanshan couldn't help but smile a little, she had to say that Shao Juntang is still blessed, the main wife is so beautiful, and the concubines such as Mrs. Yan are also full of charms, really enjoy the blessings of equal people.

At this moment, He Lanshan raised her head, and suddenly found that Shao Juntang was looking at her. She raised her eyebrows in fright, and saw his eyes pause on her face for a moment, then moved away.

Although they are old friends, He Lanshan is still a little embarrassed to meet again on such an occasion, but she is relieved to see Shao Juntang treat her so indifferently.

He Lanshan thought, it seems that Shao Juntang will not come to talk to her on purpose, she can spend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet today with peace of mind.

After Shao Juntang came out, the other rooms of the Yongding Hou Mansion also came out with their family members, and the scene suddenly became much more lively.

Among the people in the Yongding Hou Mansion, He Lanshan only knew Shao Juntang, and none of the others. Fortunately, she told Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou about the situation in advance, and the two always gave her the science in the first place. Who is it and what is the general situation.

He Lanshan listened quietly from the side, and finally had a general understanding of the people in the Yongding Hou Mansion in her heart.

Finally, Mrs. Shao's wife, Mrs. Wang, came out and announced that the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet had officially started. Only then did He Lanshan know that Mr. Shao's first room was the host of today's banquet.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was held in two gardens, Mr. Shao and the princes and ministers were in one garden, and other family members and women were in the other garden, hosted by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Shao's wife.

After He Lanshan was seated, she listened to Mrs. Wang's speech first, and then asked the maids in the mansion to bring snacks and food.

Compared with the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, it is not a grand and formal banquet. It is mainly for mutual communication and relaxation, so the whole atmosphere is also very relaxed. Whether it is a lady or a lady who is doing it, they can speak freely and say whatever comes to mind.

But even though it was a relaxing banquet, He Lanshan knew very well that it would be better for her to sit quietly, so she didn't speak all the time, but just listened in her seat with a cup of hot tea.

But even though He Lanshan has tried her best to hide herself and not make herself so noticeable, there are always people who want to set their eyes on her and want to make some fuss.

"The one sitting at the bottom is Ms. He, right?" Mrs. Lu still held her anger in her heart, thinking that in such a public place, Mu Qianjiao shouldn't be able to embarrass herself, so she took the lead in embarrassing He Lanshan, " I heard that you have only come to the capital not long ago, but you have already become quite famous!"

What she said made most of the people present stunned, because there are many people present who don't know He Lanshan, some of them have heard her name before, and some don't know her at all.

He Lanshan's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and suddenly felt that the tea in her mouth was no longer fragrant.

She put down the teacup, twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and responded with a smile.

"I heard that Ms. He often makes friends with the ladies in the capital, so she works so hard to integrate into the upper class like us?" Mrs. Lu said harshly, "To be able to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet today is my wish fulfilled." Bar?"
