Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 417, open the table

Xiao Qing first smiled, and then said nothing, not knowing what she meant by asking, since she knew who she was, she should have seen her with Yu Xiushuang in Jingfang Garden and knew the situation, why did she still ask?If she hadn't seen it before, she didn't want to answer her question.

Seeing that Xiao Qing hadn't spoken, Hu Ziyun asked with a smile: "Don't think too much, little princess, I just came to Xiang's mansion, and I was listening to the servants around me introducing you ladies, and I learned that you are the little princess of Pingning County Prince's House, I am very curious about you, because I have heard a lot about you recently, and... There are also many stories about you and Yu Xiu inherited from the adults, so I asked this question, you must be the same as us when you come here tonight , for the sake of your lord?"

Xiao Qing heard her speak openly and smiled sweetly, she really couldn't bear to hurt such a beautiful woman.

She smiled and shook her head, but still didn't speak, what did she want her to say?She came here for Yu Xiucheng, but not to become his wife, but to borrow money from Yu Xiucheng, but who would believe this?
Hu Ziyun's eyes are bent like crescent moons, her smile is sweet, her face is as round as hers, but much thinner than hers.

"The little princess looks so pretty when she smiles." Hu Ziyun approached her and said, "When the little princess has a dinner later, can I sit with you? Here, I don't know anyone well."

Xiao Qing said indifferently: "You can sit wherever you want!"

The sense of boundaries between adults is very important. She doesn't need soft and sticky little girls like them to form cliques, and her thoughts are all written on her face.

Hu Ziyun obviously didn't expect her to say something indifferent, he was slightly taken aback, and then smiled again: "Okay, then I will sit down beside you."

Xiao Qing gave a casual grace, and chose to stand near the door, away from them.

Hu Ziyun smiled and followed her, leaning against the door.

At this time, a servant girl came to them, walked to Hu Ziyun's side, and said cautiously: "Second Miss, Madam asked me to tell you that after the banquet starts, there will be a piano competition. The servant girl has inquired from the maidservant at Grand Master He's house that many people from the Western Regions have come to Xiangfu tonight. They want to compete with Daqing on the piano, and they will use two batches of horses to bring a piano to compare with Daqing. No one knows what kind of qin it is, and the people in the Western Regions still swear that if no one in Daqing can play their qin tonight, then in the next five years, the Western Regions will no longer pay tribute to Daqing, and there is no need to pay homage to Daqing, Second Miss, Madame tells you, no matter how they play the piano tonight, you have to hold back, the outcome of this matter is good or bad, and it involves the diplomatic relations between Daqing and the Western Regions, and our Hu family must not get involved."

Xiao Qing's eyelids drooped slightly, didn't it mean that there were beauties from the Western Regions coming, she wanted to see the beauties from the Western Regions, playing the piano?She had only heard of fighting dance, but she never thought that ancient people could play it.

"Don't worry, I don't know how to play the piano, even if they point at me randomly, I won't go up there! Tell your mother, don't let her worry about what's available, He Jining and Lu Ruxian are two talented women in front, it's not their turn Come to me! Let her keep an eye on Yu Xiushuang for me!" Hu Ziyun said urgently.

The servant girl seemed a little unwilling, and looked at Xiao Qing worriedly: "Oh, Second Miss, Madam understands, the key is you, you must always keep in mind the purpose of your coming..."

Hu Ziyun dealt with her: "Okay, okay, I got it, I got it, don't stay by my side, let's go!"

"No, Madame asked me to follow you, lest you get confused for a while!" said the maidservant.

Seeing that Hu Ziyun couldn't resist her, she could only tacitly allow her to be by her side.

Xiao Qing just looked at how Yu Xiucheng sat on the high seat, swearing about Zhao Yinli's achievements, how he praised the deeds of the grand masters and officials from all walks of life, and listened to the conversation between the master and the servant without saying a word .

It's just that she hadn't listened to Bento, so she might as well listen to Yu Xiucheng.

If you ask her, there are few soft-spoken people in this group of people who went to Beijing, and perhaps the most powerful one belongs to Xiu Cheng.

He is really powerful, he can piss people off when he speaks yin and yang, and he can praise the dead when he is polite. Every word is praising and respecting the emperor, and every expression is trying to win the hearts of all the officials for the emperor. She thinks he is a perfect person. Ten loyal ministers.

Xiao Qing couldn't help shaking his head, he was better at eloquence than her, it's no wonder that he got where he is now, it's all thanks to his mouth.

Yu Xiucheng, who was speaking sharply, saw everyone in Jukun Hall glanced at everyone, and finally landed in a corner from the corner of his eye, and saw that the woman's eyes were strange, and there was a bit of approval in the disgust, and a bit of ridicule in the approval, this What look?How dare you look at him like that?
He gave Xiao Qing a warning look, telling her not to look carelessly.

After Xiao Qing rolled his eyes at him, he immediately looked to the side. Who cares to look at him? He is not very good-looking, and he is not as good-looking as Zhao Zhuoxiang!
She turned around and slipped away to a crowded place, buried in the crowd, neither of them could see the other.

Seeing her slipping away, Yu Xiucheng disappeared in an instant. He searched everywhere for her figure, but when he couldn't find her, he felt anxious, so he said a few more words hastily, and asked people to prepare for the banquet.

He talked to everyone with a smile on his face, but Xiao Qing was still nowhere to be found in the crowd.

Worried that she would leave, he gave the guards standing by the pillar a wink and told them to stare at Xiao Qing.

After the guards found Xiao Qing, Yu Xiucheng finally saw Xiao Qing again, he was relieved, and asked the guards to follow her closely.

The guard nodded from afar.

Before the banquet started, Xiao Qing was arranged by Yu Xiucheng's guards to sit at the seat next to the banquet table. This position happened to be facing Yu Xiucheng from a distance. .

Xiao Qing only thinks that this location is very good, it is neither on the far side nor in the middle, close to the table, no one will let her get up and make way, but it is a bit bad, that is, there is no shelter from the male guest, the only table , just at the northeast corner, half of the men's side can be seen.

Seeing Xiao Qing sitting down, Hu Ziyun quietly came to Xiao Qing's side: "Little Princess, I'm here!"

She sat down and observed the people around her: "This seat is really good. It's far away from the busiest place in Shangjing, and it's not in the corner. You really know how to choose a seat, Little Princess, so I'll say it's right to follow you!"

Xiao Qing: "..."

"Take a seat!" The steward of the Xiangfu raised his voice and shouted.

The standing crowd began to take their seats.

"Let's serve, let's serve!" The steward shouted again, and the people on both sides of the table fell silent.

Only Hu Ziyun chattered endlessly with a small mouth.

"Little princess, look at He Jining and Lu Ruxian's behavior, sitting on the master's seat, symmetrical with Mr. Yu, she seems to be the mistress of the Xiangfu, and even Mrs. Yu's sister seems to recognize them! Just now When the banquet is held, the voice of the speech can't wait to pass through the table, the stage, and the guests, and reach Mr. Yu's ears, which is not at all educated." Hu Ziyun said angrily: "I don't know. I thought she was from the Yu family and helped greet the guests. !"
