Shopkeeper Qin has been living in the Qin family since he came to Beijing. Hou Shixian came to visit several times but did not see anyone. The news from the Qin family is that when Yuanyuan's birthday banquet is waited for, Shopkeeper Qin will go to the banquet. There is no need to meet before that.
.
Hou Shixian's intention was well known to everyone. Didn't he just want Shopkeeper Qin to change his mind? I'm afraid he came to see people in such a hurry because he wanted to see how she has been doing these years.
If shopkeeper Qin's life is bad, he, Hou Shixian, can coax him away by promising him some money and a few words.
If you live well...heh, the Hou family has never thought of this possibility.
"How can Qin Huixin, a divorced woman, be so good? There has been no news for so many years, and she doesn't even dare to come back to the capital. It's because her life is so bad that she is too embarrassed to come back. Maybe she is already old and yellow now, and even Shixian's face is not good.
I don’t dare to see you anymore.”
After hearing that Hou Shixian was kicked out of the Qin family twice, Mrs. Hou sat in the hall and cursed. The crutch in her hand hit the floor tiles hard. Mrs. Hou lowered her head with a proud smile on her lips.
The old woman was right, the Qin family must have become old and ugly, that's why she didn't dare to see them. Otherwise, with Hou Shixian's wealth and appearance, the Qin family would have been eager to pounce on them.
In order to overwhelm the Qin family, she has been buying a lot of new clothes and jewelry these days. Linglong Pavilion didn't know where to recruit a skilled embroiderer. She was a good embroiderer, and the clothes she made were exquisite and gorgeous. She was recruited by Linglong Pavilion with her embroidery skills.
It made so many noises that it even outshone the Yuhua Building opposite.
Mrs. Hou spent a lot of money to buy a fairy dress with wide sleeves, and she was waiting for Hou Yuanyuan to make a stunning appearance on the day of her birthday. By then, she would be beautiful and dignified in manners, while Qin Huixin was too old and timid to be on the stage. Even if Hou Shixian wanted to marry her again
, then there will definitely be knots in my heart, and it will be difficult to put a broken mirror back together, not to mention that this mirror has been discarded.
Mrs. Hou had planned well, and she dressed up to attend the birthday party. Hou Shixian hit the wall several times and stopped forcing it. However, as Mrs. Hou said, he now basically believed that Qin Huixin had become ugly, and the thought of remarrying came and went, but nothing happened.
It was warm before.
If he hadn't wanted to gain access to Princess Rongning through the Qin family, he wouldn't have done this to himself.
Hou Yuanyuan's birthday banquet was very luxurious. Although it was already winter, the yard was filled with flowers and plants, and the banquet was hosted by a famous restaurant in the capital.
No matter how much Hou Shixian despises Qin Huixin, he will not make fun of the Hou family's future. The appearance must be done well.
Hou Yuanyuan got up early in the morning. She was wearing clothes made by herself, a pink cross-collar skirt with roses embroidered on it. There was a golden hairpin stuck in her bun. The head of the hairpin was a butterfly with thin wings.
Wrapped with gold wire, it vibrates when you move around.
This golden hairpin was Qin Huixin's dowry, and it was also a rare thing that Hou Yuanyuan could get her hands on. She wanted to wear this golden hairpin so that her mother could see her at a glance.
"Nanny, when will mother come?"
She twisted her handkerchief, her eyes full of hope and timidity.
Hou Yuanyuan was afraid that this was just her dream. If her father lied to her, her mother would not come at all...
Hou Yuanyuan's eyes became wet just thinking about it.
The nurse wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "The master will definitely come, don't worry, madam."
"Um."
The master and servant were guarding the door, and the guests came in one after another. They all came to the Hou family for the banquet today after hearing that Lord Rongning was coming. Otherwise, the birthday banquet of an unloved young lady would not be worth it.
When they come over.
Mrs. Hou dressed up in a fancy dress and greeted all the ladies.
Most of these people were the wives of merchants, and there were also a few wives of sixth-rank officials. They thought that coming to the banquet could establish a relationship with Jiang Miao.
Although the Sixth Grade Officials are young, compared with the Hou family, they are from an official family. When Mrs. Hou saw the expressions on their faces, she became even more enthusiastic.
"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yang, please come and take your seat, we will start the dinner soon."
"Isn't Princess Rongning here yet?"
The ladies turned around and looked around, but did not see Jiang Miao's figure. Madam Hou looked embarrassed and covered it up by pouring water.
"The princess is busy with things and will have to arrive later."
"Well, what you said makes sense, then we will wait a little longer."
Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Princess Rongning was just a cover. It was not certain whether she could come. The Qin and Chen families were related by marriage and had nothing to do with the Hou family. They also wanted Jiang Miao through the power of the Qin family. Just give me a face.
After several ladies were settled, there was a bustling sound at the door. When everyone heard the sound and went out, they saw a pretty woman walking in from the door.
She is wearing a peacock blue down jacket, and the slim cut outlines her waist. The peacock blue is whiter than the other colors. She has exquisite makeup, and the rubies in her bun are shining in the sun. Mrs. Hou's eyes hurt for a moment.
"Who is this?"
Hou Yuanyuan followed her, holding her hand tightly, her almond-shaped eyes red and swollen from crying, but her face was filled with a happy smile.
The mother and daughter look very similar. The ladies who were still hesitating just now can guess who this woman is without having to say anything.
"Is this the previous lady from the Hou family?"
"I guess it's her. The Qin family can't find another young lady except Qin Yanjun, who has just been engaged. This lady's age and appearance match the Qin family, but it's not her."
"I didn't expect that after so many years of separation, Mrs. Qin would still be so young and beautiful, and even her demeanor would be better than before. Then Hou Shixian is blind, and he would rather spoil a concubine than let such a good wife go."
Everyone did not avoid Mrs. Hou when they spoke. When she heard other people's contempt for her, Mrs. Hou was furious to death.
Qin Huixin, a concubine, how can she compare to her?
But when she saw her pretty face, Mrs. Hou's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Hou Shixian. Qin Huixin was now more enchanting than before, and if she ever seduced his man, Mrs. Hou would look at her with jealousy.
She was about to drive Qin Huixin away, but it was too late. Hou Shixian came out of the backyard and his eyes widened when he saw Qin Huixin.
"Huixin, it's really you!"
She looks even more prosperous than when they were newly married, and after years of accumulation, Shopkeeper Qin has a unique aura of a woman, which easily makes Hou Shixian's heart fall in love.
He originally thought that his ex-wife was already old, and he had done a lot of psychological construction these days. No matter how ugly or old the Qin family was, he had to marry her back for the sake of the Hou family.
Who would have thought that after meeting the real person, Hou Shixian's soul would be taken away, and now he wants to be sent to the bridal chamber as soon as possible.
Qin's cold face, which he hated most in the past, now feels particularly charming.
In the past few years, Hou Shixian had been exhausted by drinking and sex, and now he had two black spots, looking extremely wretched. Shopkeeper Qin pulled Hou Yuanyuan back a step.
"Mr. Hou, please respect yourself. I am here today only for Yuanyuan."
