Red House Shoufu

Chapter 134
Wang Xifeng looked at Xue's mother and daughter in surprise. Xue Wang's elated look was in stark contrast to Xue Baochai's sad face.

"Auntie, this matter has been settled?" Wang Xifeng asked anxiously: "Are you thinking about it? Zhongxin Wangdu is more than 30 years old, and Dabao has so many sisters."

Jia Lian hasn't kept many things from Wang Xifeng in the past few years. His family is the emperor's hardcore, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a deadly enemy with the Zhongxin Palace.

The second uncle Wang Ziteng chose to follow the loyal Wang Gao Yongyi. If the Xue family parted ways with the Jia family now, she would really have no family members.

Mrs. Xue shook her head: "Isn't this news just now? The prince will report to Zongzheng Temple, and it may take some time to make a decision."

Xue Baochai, who used to look forward to her beauty, became disgusted and silent from the moment she entered the door today.Wang Xifeng knew that she didn't want to go to the palace to be a side concubine, but marriage was always the order of her parents, and her second uncle Wang Ziteng was the matchmaker for this matter, so she might not have the slightest power to resist.

"Sister Bao seems reluctant, why isn't aunt thinking about it? What does brother Xue say?"

Wang Xifeng tried to persuade, Xue Wang seems to have confirmed the marriage.When she heard that Wang Xifeng did not agree that this was a happy event, she was a little unhappy.

"Where does Pan'er understand this? He even quarreled with your second uncle because of this matter. This silly boy said that why should a good sister go to the palace to be a concubine? It's better to find a scholar to be his wife. Is it the prince's side concubine who has received the royal imperial ultimatum?"

Mrs. Xue deliberately emphasized the words "Royal Jade Document", as if to show off.

When Jia Wangshi went to Xue's house to borrow money that day, he said well that he asked Jia Baoyu to marry Baochai as his wife.But in the blink of an eye, Jia Wang's family was seized of power in a disguised form, and the Rongguo Mansion no longer mentioned the marriage.

For this reason, she was not less angry with the Rongguo Mansion, and this was one of the reasons why she agreed to it when Wang Ziteng mentioned the side concubine.

Wang Xifeng wanted to persuade her again, but when she saw Xue Baochai shaking her head slightly, she stopped thinking about it for the time being.

……

But in Rongxi hall, almost all the guests have come.As the host, Jia Shishi talked and laughed happily with a circle of noble ladies.

Rongguo Mansion once again returned to the top ranks of martial arts, and the female family members who were invited to the banquet filled the room.

The elders were all talking, so Yingchun invited the younger generation to the side hall of Rongxi Hall.Daiyu acted as the host today, helping to greet the guests, and everyone who came to the banquet knew Daiyu's special status, and few of them dared to offend her.

"Master Qingyao's hairpin is very beautiful. Is it a new style in the capital?"

Shui Yaohe, the head of Qingyao County, is wearing a green skirt today, with a jade hairpin on her head, and a lotus flower pendant on her head. Several girls surrounded her and asked where the hairpin came from.

"This hairpin was given to me by my brother. I heard that it is the latest style in Jiangnan. It was specially made for me as a birthday present..."

When Shui Yaohe talked about water melting, her eyes were full of pride.Her elder brother is a well-known virtuous king among the people in the capital, and a favorite in the eyes of countless girls who are waiting for him.

Sure enough, when he heard that it was Shui Rong's birthday present for his sister, the eyes of the girls around were full of envy.

"Master Rongjia's Buyao is so beautiful, and this girl, you two are actually a pair of Buyao?"

Shui Yaohe's eyes looked at Daiyu and Wang Yuan who were sitting on the side. Both of them had gold inlaid jade belts and pearl tassels in their buns, and the golden butterfly wings on them would flap up and down when they frowned and smiled.

She has always liked beautiful things, and when she saw a beautiful Bu Yao, she asked which store she bought it from.

Daiyu was about to find a topic to talk to Shui Yaohe, so she replied with a smile: "I bought this in Suzhou last year. I remember it was the shop opened by Zhen's family in Jinling..."

Hearing about Zhen's house in Jinling, Shui Yaohe had a smile on his face: "So it's Mrs. Fengsheng's shop, so I'll ask my brother to inquire for me."

She looked Wang Yuan up and down: "This girl is a little unfamiliar, won't the county magistrate Rongjia introduce us? I see that you all wear the same clothes and jewelry, and you look like fellow sisters."

While speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Yuan who was quietly sitting next to Daiyu.

In the hot summer, Wang Yuan and Daiyu both wore long sky blue dresses, with blossoming orchids hanging on the hem of the skirts.

Daiyu briefly introduced: "This is the elder sister Yuan of the Royal Censor Wang's family of Youqian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. She is temporarily staying at my house."

"It turns out to be Miss Wang. I have long heard that there is a girl in Wang Qingtian's family who is good at chess. How about we play chess?" A noble woman next to Shui Yaohe heard that she was a daughter of the Wang family, with a provocative look on her face.

Yingchun whispered in Daiyu's ear, "She is Huo Qingying, the county magistrate of Nan'an Palace."

People from Nan'an Palace?

Daiyu still remembered that Zijuan had secretly reported to her, saying that Wang Ziteng's wife and second aunt had conspired to provoke a conflict between her and the Huo County Lord, why did she provoke sister Yuan today?

"Since the county lord has a taste, then I'll play a game with the county lord!" Wang Yuan didn't care what kind of nerves the county lord Huo got, since she wanted to fight, let's fight.I, Wang Yuan, have never been afraid of others in chess!
……

Wang Yuan and Huo Qingying are back and forth on the chessboard, but Shui Yaohe and Daiyu are chatting enthusiastically.

"Qingying has always liked the way of playing chess. A few days ago, Princess Zhongshun, her mother and others talked about Miss Wang's proficiency in chess, and they praised it for a while. No, Qingying has become competitive."

So it turned out that Daiyu thought that the Lord Huo had taken a fancy to her elder brother, and was about to go home and "condemn" her elder brother for attracting bees and butterflies.

She wasn't worried that Wang Yuan would lose at all, she just hoped that Huo Qingying wouldn't cry for a while.

"Sister Yuan likes to play chess on weekdays, but it's a pity that there are not many people in the family who can be her opponents...By the way, what does the Lord Qingyao usually do at home?"

Daiyu brought the topic to Shui Yaohe, she was still thinking about today's mission.

Shui Yaohe thought that Daiyu was inquiring about her preferences, and she didn't hide anything, so she responded, "I'm afraid I'm making you laugh, I'm not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I prefer to play with rouge and gouache on weekdays, oh, And draw some jewelry or something."

Daiyu thought to herself, this is similar to Baoyu's hobbies. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, she would have wanted to introduce Baoyu to him.

"What am I joking about? I also like to play with rouge and gouache. My brother also said that if he doesn't become an official in the future, he will let me open a family of rouge and support him. Speaking of which, the rouge of Zhen's family in Jinling is the first in the south of the Yangtze River. You have to queue for a long time to buy good rouge and gouache.”

Daiyu pretended to sigh: "It's a pity that there is no Zhen's shop in the capital, but Yurongzhai's is also good. I heard that their family has a very good rouge. They only make a hundred boxes every year and don't sell it. It's a pity that I bought it." It's not here."

Hearing Daiyu mentioning Yurongzhai, Shui Yaohe said proudly: "Yurongzhai, that is the shop of Prince Yizhong's family. My brother has a good relationship with Prince Yizhong. Every year, their family will send me a few The box of Ice Muscle Snow Skin Cream is exactly what you mentioned. When I deliver it next time, I will share two boxes with you!"
