Chapter Thirty-One
Wen Ju's banquet was held in the evening. But it was only after noon, and people started to come one after another.
The affairs of the men in front had nothing to do with Liuli, leaving them to socialize and give them a headache. As for the women, there were relatively few of them, so Liuli invited Wang Linlang and Wen Zhiyun to help with the reception. It wasn’t that she didn’t know these hypocritical politenesses, but she was very impatient.
After laughing for a while, I felt like my face was going stiff.
Fortunately, although Wang Linlang and her met only a few times, their mutual affection for each other increased rapidly. Today, Liuli asked Wang Linlang to be half of her master, which was full of trust. Miss Wang Wu was afraid that she would not do well if she did not do well.
She is not a friend, and has always been cautious. But Wen Zhiyun was happy to show that she had a good relationship with the future Princess Jin in front of outsiders, and she worked very hard, which saved her a lot of worry.
However, after all, there is no matron in General Shui's Mansion. Liuli's friends are all unmarried girls like her. They can talk to the other noble ladies, but there is no matron who greets married ladies in a serious manner.
Guo Younian had a very "close" relationship with Shui Shiqiao. He almost asked for help, but he simply volunteered without telling anyone and asked his wife Youshi to sit in the battle.
Mr. You is in his twenties. He is petite but has an exquisite figure. He has a silver-plated face and phoenix eyes with hanging tips that sparkle like they are covered with water. At first glance, he looks like a shrewd and sharp person. His words and actions give people the impression that he is smart.
That's exactly what happened. When she came to Shui's house in the morning, she was wearing a bright red dress with white fox fur, gorgeous makeup, and a head full of pearls. Liuli said dangerously: Guo Younian is really lucky. An old man of his age has no home.
He has no job and no support. He was transferred from the northwest to the capital. He has high rank but no real power. Such a person can actually eat such a bright and eye-catching rose! Even though it grows on a branch.
However, according to the information obtained from Liuli's investigation, this Youshi actually has a pampered personality and is only good at appearances. He did a lot of stupid things when he was in the boudoir, and he is still not able to bear the slightest anger. With such a personality, it is easy to be
use.
Whether it is a gathering at a woman's house or a warm banquet, it is nothing more than the host's house. That is, Liuli takes all the ladies to browse the garden. But now is the beginning of spring, everything has not yet revived, and there is no winter snow scene. There is nothing interesting to see everywhere.
Just take a look at the layout of the house and several unique courtyards. The ladies are naturally led by Youshi, who has lived here after all. She is familiar with the roads. In the end, no matter old or young, married or unmarried, they are all concentrated in
Entering the Danuan Pavilion where guests are being entertained, everyone is chatting, laughing, drinking tea and eating snacks. Sometimes they are divided into two groups, sometimes they are mixed together. It all depends on the topic.
"In my opinion, although this courtyard is small, it is really good." A certain lady said in a good voice, "Those piano rooms and teahouses are very well built. When the flowers bloom in spring, there will be grass growing along the stone paths.
It grows out of the middle, and paired with the blue stone and green moss, it is really unique and elegant."
"That's what Madam said." Wen Zhiyun took over, "At that time, let my second sister invite you all to come again. There is a saying that one knows the elegant meaning of a stringed song after hearing it, then Madam can give the song. Isn't it, Liuli?
?”
Wen Zhiyun recognized that this was Mrs. Zhongshu Ling. She was going to marry into the family of the Minister of Industry in the summer. Therefore, knowing that her father-in-law had a good relationship with Mr. Huang, Zhongshu Ling, she naturally wanted to curry favor with him. However, she did what she wanted.
The most beneficial thing to do is to borrow other people's flowers and offer them to your own Buddha. Liuli knew this, but she couldn't say anything to her face, so she just smiled and nodded. Wang Linlang, on the other hand, turned her head and rolled her eyes.
"At that time, I was afraid that I would have to trouble Sister-in-law of the You family for help." Liuli bowed and said, "Thanks to you today. Liuli was born in a rural area, and his mother stayed in the south and did not come with her. How could she know how to be a housekeeper and treat guests?
In the future, if I don’t understand something, I will pester my sister-in-law to ask, please don’t think I’m annoying.” There is no way, for some big things, close, you have to trick me.
Youshi likes to be complimented by others, and her face lit up with joy at this time, and she said with a smile, "That's really unreasonable to say. Your brother and the guy from my family just hit it off, so to be honest, why don't you just talk to me?"
My younger sister is average? But I think my younger sister is a bit too modest, and those girls of yours have been trained very neatly, especially the two older ones."
She was referring to Qingdai and Qing Ning. Today Liuli specially asked these two maids to hang around among the ladies and ladies several times to show their faces. And Youshi also had other meanings in her words. Everyone present thought that
, these two girls are the common room prepared for King Jin.
Liuli smiled but didn't say anything, acting very generous. In fact, Heng Heng, it doesn't matter how many concubines Xiao Jiu marries or how many concubines she takes in the future, but her girls are all treasures and they will definitely be given to the promising ones.
A man is the wife of a woman. However, there are still tasks to be completed before, and she can't do without them.
The wife of Zhongshu Ling received Wen Zhiyun's overtures and asked her about her wedding date. Wen Zhiyun blushed and answered in a low voice. Several ladies took the opportunity to bring up the issue of marriage among the children of the right age at home. It is not good for unmarried ladies.
After hearing these words, the people dispersed again.
Wang Linlang pulled Liuli aside and said in a low voice, "Liuli, although I am too humble to seek respect, and I am too distant to be close, but because we are so good, I have to remind you of some things."
Liuli nodded, "You can talk to yourself if you have anything to say. It's hard to find a straightforward person in Tokyo, so why worry about me misunderstanding you?"
Wang Linlang sighed, "Because you are speaking ill of people behind their backs, which is always a bit unkind."
"Who doesn't get told behind their backs, and who doesn't tell others behind their backs? You can tell me, I'm very curious." Liuli pursed her lips happily, because she knew that Wang Linlang was a standard noblewoman, elegant and generous, with high moral standards.
of.
"That's... General Guo." Wang Linlang glanced at Youshi and said, "If your brother is really close to him, you must be careful. My father said that General Guo is not an aboveboard person."
"Then you have to tell me more." Liuli said immediately, pulling Wang Linlang to the window, as if the two of them were admiring and discussing a bonsai of plum blossoms, "My brother is a wild man and is not suitable for Tokyo. What's more,
It’s not suitable for officialdom. It’s just that the emperor has a destiny and has to stay here. Hao Linlang, please tell me everything, lest he be sold and help count the money."
"That's not a problem. The leader of the Water Gang, the Holy Family, is in full swing. No one dares to mess with him. However, you have to be on guard against villains, so I'm just reminding you. That Guo Younian is not very important in the Shenwu Army.
He still suppresses the generals and generals. He is not a person who can take care of things. But he has a wide range of contacts, but he is not dependent on his in-laws. My father said that he is very good at sneaking into camps, has ambitions, and often interacts with unknown people.
In one place. My father said that in Tokyo, I am not afraid that you will be restless, but I am afraid that you will be restless in the wrong place." Old Marquis Weiyuan is Wang Linlang's grandfather, and now Marquis Weiyuan is her father. She also has a second brother.
Uncle, I have been leading troops in the southwest for more than ten years.
"Marquis Weiyuan, why are you telling me this when you have nothing to do?" Liuli took Wang Linlang's hand, "You must have seen that my family and the Guo family have become close because of the purchase and sale of houses. You asked specifically because you are afraid that we brothers and sisters do not understand the water in Tokyo.
How deep, isn't it?" She was suddenly moved and couldn't bear it. She just hoped that what she planned would not hurt the second uncle of the Wang family.
As for Guo Younian, the more restless the better. If he is suspected in the future, won't there be more "criminal evidence"?
"You are my best friend." Wang Linlang said, "Although you have only been in Tokyo for a short time, I just feel that I have a special affinity with you." After saying this, his face turned red and he lowered his voice and said, "Actually,
It was a coincidence, because my mother said we were in love..."
"Ah. Which one?" Liuli shook Wang Linlang's hand.
When she first came to Tokyo, it was rumored that the fifth lady of the Wang family was in love with the King of Jin, as if she and Wang Linlang were love rivals. Who would have thought that this was not the case at all, which shows that the rumors may not always be credible. Probably, Cui Shufei had just thought before.
Let Xiao Jiu marry Wang's daughter. After all, Weiyuan Marquis has a profound background. There are people not only in the court, but also in the border areas. If such people can be drawn over, it will be good for the fight for the throne. In fact, who knows such an obvious truth?
Don’t know? The Wang family also knew that they would not stand in line so early and marry a certain prince because they were sitting at the train entrance. It was Cui Shufei who couldn’t figure it out. After contacting Wang Linlang several times, even though she had a blood feud,
, dare not get too close to certain people, lest if she fails, others will be hurt after the incident. However, the friendship between girls is like this, maybe after a word, they become good friends who can even share their thoughts.
Liuli and Wang Linlang are like this. It's just that Miss Wang Wu is a cold beauty to outsiders, but Liuli knows that she has a cool temper. It's just because rich and noble ladies don't pay attention to speaking out. It's normal to have to hide it.
, as a result, she was forced to speak less and laugh less, and over time she was artificially stereotyped.
That's why Liuli asked Wang Linlang directly which son of a family her mother liked. Liuli really hoped that her friend would be happy.
Sure enough, Wang Linlang hesitated for a moment and then told her bluntly, "He is the eldest grandson of the Hou family of Huainan. But my father frowned when he heard this. I happened to want to ask about General Guo, so I deliberately asked a few more questions. What did my father mean, Huainan?"
Hou Youxiao is a shrewd man, but it is a pity that he made a mistake in the marriage of his concubine, which may have laid the foundation for disaster. If it were not for this in-law, the You family would be a good candidate." After thinking for a while, he added, "It is said that the You family was
I had no choice but to marry General Guo."
Liuli's eyes flashed, ah, there is gossip! But why didn't she find out about this? She needed to find a way to confirm it immediately to see if there was any possibility that could be exploited.
"I know, I will advise my brother." Liuli thought for a while, and then lowered her voice and said, "To tell you the truth, my brother is new here, and when someone shows his kindness, he will be good to anyone." Meaning.
It's: Guo Younian took the initiative to get close to him, and Shui Shiqiao's friendliness and face-saving factors accounted for a lot of it.
"That's good." Wang Linlang said, "My brother often says that your brother is a great person. Let's get closer to them later." After saying that, the two of them smiled knowingly and tacitly.
"Then tell me, do you have anyone you like? Or, what kind of person do you like? Tell me." Liuli pressed Wang Linlang. Wang Linlang expected to be embarrassed and refused to answer. The two pushed and pushed.
He seemed to have a different relationship with others. Wen Yiyun felt angry when he saw it, and wished he could go to the front to see the leader of the Water Gang. He was just sitting on pins and needles.
