126. A lot of red envelopes for visiting relatives and friends in the second day of junior high school
Because of the insistence of the Grand Marshal, Miss Yao's family finally got the opportunity to leave the mansion after being confined for many days.
Especially when he heard about attending General Yuchi's wife's tea banquet, Yao Shuting's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. He immediately excitedly ordered the maid to prepare clothes for him, grind rouge and powder, and prepared jewelry heads with dresses. His temperament suddenly became much more gentle, as if the gentle and lovely lady of the past had come back.
However, in comparison, Yuzhu was worried and felt unbearable about the prospect of sending Miss Yao to the cliff with her own hands and jumping.
On the day of the tea banquet, when Yuzhu and Miss Yao were in the same carriage, Yuzhu thought it would be better to lay the foundation for the lady first.
So Yuzhu mentioned in a very tactful way that the feelings in the world are all about getting along with each other, but she and Bai Shuiqing were unable to meet for a long time. Perhaps Bai Qilang's mood had changed.
But as soon as he started, Yao Shuting said confidently: "Qilang will not change. He is a real man who is open-minded. If he changes his mind, he will definitely tell me that he will never let me fall in love with him alone!"
This could not be continued. Yuzhu felt that the younger sister was better than her brother. Yao Muye still had some understanding of her sister's temperament. Such stubbornness might only be a wake-up call to wake up.
When we arrived at General Yuchi's mansion, the tea banquet had just begun. With laughter and joy, people were preparing poems and calligraphy to display for a while.
Yuzhu is now a popular newcomer among the worldly women in the capital. The general's wife was very honored to be able to attend her tea banquet, so she recommended the guests to attend the tea banquet one by one.
The Yuchi family is a legacy of the previous dynasty. Although it is not from a Jiangnan family, it is considered a family of celebrities. The ancestors had several generations of prime ministers in the previous dynasty. The family had been in the south of the Yangtze River for several years. Although they were not as good as the major families that assisted the royal family in Jiangnan, the clans' children were successful. When they arrived at General Yuchi Jing, they even made great achievements when pacifying the eastern waterline. It can be said that the naval forces of the Great Wei were all prepared and formed by General Yuchi Jing.
Since it was a tea banquet, there were naturally both men and women. Although Yao Shuting was anxious to find Bai Qilang, he was unwilling to look around in a polite manner. So he chose the corner of the corridor that was closest to the innermost. After sitting down, he could look at the entire courtyard. At the same time, he quietly asked Yuzhu next to him again, "Miss Liu, are you sure Qilang will attend?"
Yuzhu sipped the Lushan Yunwu and said, "Who said that I took you to see him? This is just for relaxing and breathable. Don't be too concerned about it."
While talking, Yuzhu noticed a young man looking here frequently.
The man, with a thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and with a bit of a ruthless spirit of a martial artist, sat alone in the pavilion opposite the corridor, silently looking into the inside.
Yuzhu was sure that the tall and burly young man was definitely not looking at him. He looked like a former acquaintance of Miss Yao Shuting.
Miss Yao obviously noticed it too. Although she did not frown and glared at her rudely, her body was slightly tilted, and she obviously didn't want to look at him.
Yuzhu picked up a lotus leaf plate, picked some sweet cakes, and asked sideways when she handed it to Miss Yao's cakes, "Who is that person? Why do you keep looking at you?"
Yao Shuting lowered his voice and said, "It is General Yuchi Jing's younger brother, it is said to be a posthumous son, so it was raised by General Yuchi himself. He said he was a younger brother, but in fact, like a son, he should be three years older than me... a weird person!"
Yuzhu didn't expect Miss Yao to evaluate others like this. That "weirdo" doesn't seem like a praising word!
Yao Shuting now uses Yuzhu as her sister-in-law. Although she also talks to her when she is angry in the mansion, she actually treats her as her family. So she whispers to her: "He was a mute at a young age, and he spoke only at the age of seven. He is also very powerful. I remember that when he was a child, his mother took me into the palace to play with the princes and princesses of the late emperor. I often hear adults say that he was also taken by General Yuchi. A prince in the palace laughed at him as mute. He didn't say a word and knocked off the prince's breasts!"
Speaking of this, Miss Yao felt that her description was not sufficient and said, "He was only five years old at that time, and the prince who was beaten to tears was already twelve!"
After hearing this, Yuzhu had fully understood why Miss Yao thought the young man was weird. Her mind flashed through the scene where the twelve-year-old child was riding on her body with a small bean bag, and was beaten to cry and call her mother, and vomiting blood, and she couldn't help but say, "Then... wouldn't he... be punished?"
Miss Yao was a little impatient by the young man, so she simply hid in a pillar and whispered: "He was lucky. At that time, it was a disaster for the East China Sea water pirates. General Yuchi made many great achievements. The late emperor was relying on his brother's navy, so the prince was knocked out, but the late emperor called the prince lazy and incompetent, wasted his kung fu, and was beaten by the little kid and could not fight back."
Speaking of this, she whispered, "Miss Six, is he still looking at me?"
Yuzhu looked at Miss Yao's nervous look and couldn't help but laugh, "Look, I'm scared you. Are you afraid that he will be scared to you in front of everyone? But... why does he look at you like you, Miss?"
Yao Shuting frowned and said, "Good sister, don't scare me. Who wants such a weirdo liked?"
Yuzhu wanted to joke again, but at this moment, a new guest walked into the courtyard.
The young man walking in front of him gradually lost his childishness and showed his youthful appearance. He wore a moon-white long gown with a blue pattern and looked heroic and elegant. His skin who was fighting on the battlefield gradually recovered.
The Bai family has always been gentle and handsome, and this seventh son is so handsome. Although he is not a legitimate son, it still attracts the young ladies present to look over.
But behind him, a young woman walked into another young woman. The woman was petite, with big and bright eyes on her face, showing the unique innocent and charming aura of a girl. When she saw the two of them coming together, when passing the threshold, because the girl's skirt was too long, Bai Qilang was afraid that she would trip over when she passed the threshold, so he asked his maid to lift her skirt and stood by and wait patiently.
Although Yuzhu had heard the words of the Taiwei before, she actually felt a little unbelievable in her heart. It was not until now that she sighed quietly.
Yao Shuting hid behind the pillar and could only see the jade bead beside him. When he saw that the jade bead seemed to have a different expression, he quietly turned around and looked over. With just one glance, he saw Qilang in the distance. A surprise smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile was still at the corner of his mouth. Just as he saw the girl down the steps, Bai Qilang took the initiative to hold her hand and help her down together.
Yuzhu saw clearly from the side, and Yao Shuting's body immediately stiffened, and her face was slightly transparent and pale like a steamed cake.
At this moment, under the corridor where they stood, several ladies were whispering: "White family's lady is next to Bai Qilang? Why haven't you seen it before?"
Another woman sneered slightly, "It's right that you didn't meet. She is not a serious lady, she is just a thin horse in Yangzhou!"
This "slim horse" is also a famous product in Jiangnan. Most of them are toothed ladies who choose young and beautiful girls from poor families and buy them and then carefully adjust them. They not only use piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, but also have to have a flowing eye wave and are charming in their demeanor. If they can raise a promising future, they can sell them at a high price, with amazing profits.
Because most of these poor women are weak, the name of "slim horse" comes from this, implying that the thin horse is riding and playing with by others. This kind of pure and good woman who has not yet been contaminated with the dust and has a bit of a good family atmosphere is much more interesting than the women who are used to fried dough sticks in prostitutes!
Everyone suddenly realized it when they heard it, and there was a lot of contempt in their tone: "Why did the Bai family Qilang look at Taiyan, why did he take such a despicable path? Well, how could he keep a thin horse like a merchant?"
Another chuckled, "It's too young and has a shallow foundation, so I'll make someone tease me. A few days ago, I saw such a pair at another tea banquet. Bai Qilang used the thin horse as the great-granddaughter of the Yuan family Hongding Gong!"
The eldest son of Duke Hongding was Yuan Xi's uncle. He was implicated in the palace witchcraft rebellion and was punished by the collapse of the building. His huge house was investigated. Although his children were not guilty, they also fell into dust and each had different ups and downs.
So the woman named Yuan Miaoer who was accompanied by Bai Qilang might be even a granddaughter of Yuan Xi’s uncle.
But those who came out of the unclean teeth were eager to hide their ancestors. Yuan Miaoer had turned this in distress into a pity selling point.
When Yao Shuting heard this, he saw the two of them being intimate and unyielding, his heart and lungs were about to break open. He just stood up and wanted to go out to confront Bai Qilang.
But Yuzhu quickly grabbed her with her hands and whispered, "What are you going to do with a lady?"
Yao Shuting was sobbing that she was about to cry, and she just stared at her and said, "I'm going to ask them what their relationship is?"
Yuzhu whispered: "If he brought a noble family daughter today, I wouldn't stop you. I just let you go with joy. At worst, I would add some topic of conversation to all the women of the aristocratic families present. But you also heard what kind of woman he brought. If you go, you would give up all the face of the Yao family on the ground. You have to think about it!"
Yuzhu always speaks softly, but she has always had a temperament that can calm people down. After listening to her low words, Yao Shuting regained some rationality.
After all, the blood flowed from the Yao family. After being lifted by Yuzhu, the grief and anger in her heart were bound by self-esteem.
So he took a deep breath and said, "Miss Six, I have my own sense of responsibility." After that, he calmed down and walked down the steps with Yuzhu.
Bai Shuiqing didn't expect to see Miss Yao here. When she looked up, she saw her wearing a brocade dress, and her little face was so tense that she couldn't see a smile, her expression slightly stopped.
In fact, Yao Shuting looks like his mother, Mrs. Yao, but she is a girlish girlish aura, and she does not see her solemnity and calmness. But now with such a tense face, the natural coldness and arrogance of the Yao family suddenly overflows, and suddenly arouses a sense of intimacy.
In fact, in Bai Shuiqing's heart, how could he bear Miss Yao? It was just that he was hit hard by Mrs. Yao that day, and he felt that his efforts were not recognized, and the reason was only because he was not the eldest son of the Bai family.
For a time, the boy's self-esteem and face were also hit hard. He was not allowed to meet Miss Yao again, so he often went out to drink with his colleagues he met in the army. By chance, he met Yuan Miaoer.
The toothed man who adopted Yuan Miaoer looked very decent at first glance, like a gentry in the countryside. He was commensurate with Yuan Miaoer's parents and daughter. Bai Qilang didn't check the difference at all. When the toothed man learned about Bai Qi'er's identity, he also felt that the oil and water here was more promising than selling it to merchants. He was also happy that they would interact with each other.
Young Master Bai was fascinated by the charming behavior of this woman unlike other noble girls. In addition, he was hurt in his heart and needed gentle and considerate care. In addition, he had never had sex with a woman before, and after getting drunk, he actually got into trouble with Lin Miaoer. Looking at her fallen red spots, he intuition that she was a clean and clean girl. He should take the responsibility that a man should have. He promised her to marry her. In the end, he dated the woman in a siege and was cheated of a lot of money. He also didn't know that he had become a laughing stock in others' mouths.
Now he actually saw Miss Yao here. In addition to being embarrassed without any preparation, he suddenly remembered the long-lasting affection between the two of them. He felt a little guilty in his heart. Seeing Miss Yao passing by him, he wanted to chase him out. However, when he looked up, he was tripped by the cold and arrogant aura on Yao Shuting's face that looked like Mrs. Yao, and hesitated for a moment.
Yuzhu could see that although Miss Yao had no words, her steps were not very brisk, but no one was chasing her behind her. Miss Yao's steps were getting faster and faster, and when she was about to say goodbye to the general's wife first and return to the carriage.
The anger that gave birth to cold arrogance suddenly broke down like the melting snow water in March and melted away. Miss Yao could no longer bear it and burst into tears.
