Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 79
The second wife of the patriarch's family, Mrs. Lu, has long posted a post to the Ji family. The chrysanthemum banquet held on the sixth day of October is only for the Shi family and the Ji family's female relatives, as well as the wife of the Jun family who came all the way from Wumen. .

The banquet was held at the "Watching the Moon Terrace", which was a pavilion above the lake, facing the garden. A stage was set up in the garden. Famous opera singers were invited, and the decorations were very elegant. It seems that Mrs. Lu also put a lot of thought into it. of.

Mrs. Jun's family is very well-dressed, wearing a dark silver-red beige, with a sapphire blue peacock hanging hairpin on her head. She has a silver face and a plump body. Her hair looks a lot older than ordinary people, and her age It is probably approaching forty, and although it is covered with thick powder, you can still see the fine lines at the corners of the eyes.

Mrs. Lu invited everyone to sit down, Mrs. Naturally and the girls sat around the table alone, Ji Yuee hadn't appeared yet, but her two cousins ​​Ji Yueshang and Ji Yueqing were sitting.

Ji Yueshang's age should be about the same as Ji Haitang's, she is very thin, her manner is like the wind blowing willows, she has a bit of Daiyu's demeanor.

Ji Yueqing and Shi Rou are about the same age, and they seem to be very close, as soon as they meet, they sit together and whisper, as if they wish others would know that they are on good terms.

With a child's mind, Ji Chonglian just smiled and shook his head when he saw it.

On the other side of the wives group, the conversation started, Ji Minghui sat in the main seat, no one else had a higher status here except her, and the second wife, Mrs. Lu, accompanied her in the side seat.

"Why haven't you seen the third girl come out yet?"

Ji Minghui glanced at the group of girls, but seeing Ji Yuee's figure, he frowned slightly.

This time, Mrs. Ji entrusted her with this matter. She also spent a lot of time thinking. She finally fell in love with the Jun family. She didn't want Ji Yue'e to do anything to her at this moment. It would not only not give Mrs. Jun face, but also If you don't give her face, the Lu family will have to weigh the consequences.

Although Mrs. Jun's face was rich and handsome, her eyes were shrewd. At this moment, she just didn't speak, and looked at Mrs. Lu with a smile, which made her a little embarrassed out of thin air. She covered her face with the auspicious round fan in her hand, and said with a forced smile: "This girl has been feeling unwell for the past few days, and she has been resting in bed. Today, I heard that Mrs. Jun is coming, so I have to go out to see her no matter what. I'm afraid I'm on my way now, so I'll send someone to meet her again. "

While talking, Mrs. Lu gave instructions to the maid beside her, who nodded and retreated.

"I've met the young master of Mrs. Jun's family too. He is a good-looking talent, and my master also praises him a lot. It will be no problem to get a good name in the future."

Ji Minghui said with a smile, Mrs. Jun's brows and eyes widened when she heard this, but she said: "My Jun'er is not as good as my wife said, Mr. Shi's absurd praise!"

The wives praised each other again, and then Ji Minghui turned the conversation to another woman sitting under the seat, and saw that this woman had slender eyebrows and a rare beauty in her face, and her purple silk and emerald pattern skirt set off her With fair skin, the whole person is even more radiant. The pearl and jasper steps are inserted into the temples but there is no slight sway. The protruding abdomen is obviously several months pregnant.

"The Seventh Wife is blessed. This time she is pregnant with Lin'er again, and her younger brother is favored by the King of Yan. The future is boundless!"

What Ji Minghui said was sincere. Of course he had seen Pei Yan before. The little boy was neither humble nor overbearing, and he couldn't be compared with Qi Zhan and other playboys.

The Seventh Wife, Mrs. Pei returned Ji Minghui with a faint smile, and put one hand on her abdomen, her eyes were full of maternal tenderness, "It's hard to say what happened to Ah Yan, whether it's a blessing or a curse, it just depends on his own future fortune."

Ji Minghui nodded, she was indeed a girl from the scholarly family, her demeanor and style were not comparable to that of the second wife Lu, no wonder some people said that the patriarch intended to pass the position to the seventh son, not the second son who is now in charge of the family, come to think of it It also has a certain relationship with the Pei family.

Lu Shi gritted her teeth, but forced a smile on her face and said: "Seventh brother and sister are blessed, with seventh brother lovingly pampering them, and the old man also remembering them, how can life be bad?"

A sour smell came out of Mrs. Lu's words, Mrs. Jun covered her mouth with a smile, and just looked away without knowing, but her eyes stopped on the girls of Ji's family.

From what she saw, the girls of Ji's family were all good, and the one who stood out was the big girl, who treated people with grace and grace, and looked like a housewife.

But Mrs. Ji is like a baby, and she is a few years younger, but when it comes to being close, their Jun family is not bad in Wumen, but they can't get into the eyes of Mrs. Ji.

Now that Mrs. Shi can climb the line of Ji Minghui, Mrs. Jun is willing to come to see Ji Yue'e because she thinks that her son will be able to support her more in the future. Besides, Ji's family is also a big family in Danyang, and this is the granddaughter of the patriarch, and Mrs. Shi Guaranteed, no matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad.

Several wives were talking, Ji Chonglian also heard a little bit, and could not help turning her eyes to Pei Shi, but she could only see her profile.

As far as the facial features of men and women are concerned, Pei Yan and his sister don't look much alike, but no matter where they go with their demeanor, no one will suspect that they are not siblings. Pei has always been quiet and indifferent, with the corners of his lips With a shallow smile on her face, Ji Chonglian also developed a liking for her for no reason, maybe this is a bit of a love affair...

Thinking of these words, she blushed suddenly, and hurriedly covered her face with a veil, and couldn't help but spit on Pei Yan a few times.

Is this really poisonous?
She didn't know him very well, and she couldn't help but linger in her heart just because of these few encounters and his domineering oath?
This must be a curse, and she still needs time to fade it.

Maybe Pei Yan was just joking, she is only a little older, who knows what everyone will look like after a few years?
Ji Chonglian comforted herself like this, and gradually put these chaotic thoughts out of her mind.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lu has already graciously asked Ji Minghui and Mrs. Jun to order plays. Ji Minghui ordered "The Blue Bridge Meeting" and "The Peony Pavilion", and Mrs. Jun ordered "Stealing the Tiger Talisman". My wife also ordered two plays, and the stage was about to start.

Just when the people present were watching with great interest, a pretty figure appeared from the corridor not far away, Ji Yuee was wearing a water-red flower-scattered blouse, with a floral skirt with a finger-wide broken gold border, The crystal rose hairpin on her head glowed in seven colors under the sun, and her whole body was as bright as the beautiful scenery in May. It was only when she got close that she could see the red circles under her eyes, obviously she had just cried not long ago.

Coming to the wives, Ji Yue'e saluted one by one, and Ji Minghui was the first to ask, "Your mother said you were not feeling well, and you came out to see guests even though you were sick, I have really wronged you!"

There was already a trace of displeasure in Ji Minghui's words, and a little coldness was added to his indifferent eyes.
