Dinner hasn't started yet, most of the adults and children are joking, only a few of them go back to their rooms to change clothes.
In the hall full of rich clothes, there are high piles of servant girls and green beads. The female members of the Xi family are all dressed up grandly. The men also put on new clothes, old-fashioned gowns or new-style suits, all of which are well-cut and made of materials.
expensive.
When Yun Qiao came in, it was like a ray of bright light was floating in. Even though the room was full of brilliance, it was not as outstanding as her appearance.
When the old lady saw this, she couldn't help but think: "Other than this woman, there is probably no one else in the world who is worthy of Lan Ting."
Only Yun Jiao is suitable.
Xi Lanting's flawless handsome face has fascinated many women, but no one can match him. In terms of appearance, anyone who is with him is a high achiever.
Others will be forced to look embarrassed and slightly mediocre by him.
Duyunqiao is different.
Yun Qiao stands next to him, and he is as brilliant in appearance as he is, able to force away the prosperity of the world.
Others feel this way too.
Xi Wenjie snorted coldly and quickly looked away, feeling extremely unhappy.
Jiang Yanyu stood up: "Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao, come sit here."
Xi Lanting did not look back at Yun Qiao. He went straight to the main table, sat next to the old lady, and picked up a hand warmer next to him to cover his hands.
Yun Qiao went to the main table first and greeted the old lady and others.
At the Governor's Mansion, only the Governor, his wife and a few ladies who had not left the cabinet came, but the other aunts and wives did not come. Although the other aunts and wives were here in the old mansion.
"...Are you feeling better?" the governor's wife asked her with concern.
Yun Qiao: "After a good night's sleep and drinking a lot of hot water, my stuffy nose cleared up. I'm still a little sick, so I didn't dare to come."
"It's winter. It's been extremely cold this year. Everyone has a bit of stuffy nose and cough, but it's no big deal." The old lady also said, "You can't skip meals just because of this."
Yun Qiao said yes.
The old lady gave some more instructions.
At this time, the head butler came over to ask if the show was about to start. Yun Qiao took the opportunity to walk away and returned to the table of juniors.
She sat next to Jiang Yanyu's brother and sister.
This night, Xi Lanting didn't look at Yun Qiao again.
Yun Qiao couldn't help but think, "Is he angry with me?"
At the same time, I thought, "He just treats me as a junior. Am I too sensitive?"
The two of them have been together for more than a year. If you think about it carefully, Xi Lanting has no ambiguity about Yun Qiao. He treats her well, maybe because he thinks Yun Qiao is useful.
For example, if Yun Qiao was not here last time as Governor Xi, the helm of the Xi family's army would have to be replaced by someone now. Undoubtedly, Xi Lanting himself does not want to be such a person, he needs Governor Xi.
He also needs Yun Qiao to be at Xi's house.
Grandma asked Yun Qiao to come because there might be some deal between her and Xi Lanting.
On the contrary, it was Yun Qiao himself who was obsessed with Xi Lanting's beauty, and often had wild imaginations that almost got him trapped.
That night, Yun Qiao glanced at Xi Lanting from time to time, wondering if he was looking at her again and if he was really unhappy.
Jiang Yanyu was rarely in the mood to joke: "Why don't you just sit at the main table? You and Master Qi are so close, can't you bear to be separated for a while?"
"That's not what happened." Yun Qiao was embarrassed.
Jiang Shaoze said: "No matter what happens, my aunt should restrain herself. Others will spread gossip."
What he said makes sense.
Yun Qiao sat upright and then stopped looking.
She and the Jiang siblings both had their own concerns, so they were relatively silent that night.
When the banquet came to an end, Xi Lanting left first. He left quietly, and Yun Qiao didn't notice when he disappeared. This time, he didn't drag Yun Qiao with him.
Yun Qiao sat there, feeling even worse.
She decided to stay and watch the New Year's Eve, and spend this cold and lonely night with everyone.
