Chapter 23 Garden Party
"This is the maid that Lang Jun gave to the girl. Her name is Huanxue. This maid has been taught by Wang since she was a child. She knows a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as body skills and boxing."
Songshan looked proud after finishing speaking.
Xie Fengyue understood what he was proud of. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting were things that only noble ladies could learn. If the daughter of a commoner family in this world could know a few words, the reward would be a few percent more.
Except for the Qian'an clan, there are very few men who can read.
After all, a silk book can cost as little as five or six gold and as much as hundreds of gold, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Xie Fengyue can understand, but that doesn't mean that Zhi Zhi beside her can understand too. She has become familiar with Songshan these days. She said angrily: "Songshan, are you looking at me for not serving the girl attentively or something? Go to my girl's house. I'm here to send you my maid!" He even said the words "my girl" in a correct way.
Songshan really didn't know what to say for a moment. He said with a bitter look on his face: "Girl, my people have been delivered, so I won't bother you for now."
After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Zhezhi could not do what he wanted. He raised his voice and continued to ask: "What do you mean by sending this person away? Are you looking down on me?"
Songshan's scalp was numb when he was asked, how could he dare to speak and run away in a hurry again.
As soon as I returned to the east wing and saw Lang Jun drinking tea comfortably, I felt even more uncomfortable.
He said angrily: "Lang Jun, you'd better find another boy to deliver letters. I can't do this job."
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "It's not like Yue Girl is angry, she knows the reason why I sent him there."
Song Shan curled his lips and said: "Even the girl over there is evil. She ate my glutinous rice cake for nothing. She is so vicious."
Wang Yan laughed softly: "You think this is in Langya, even those girls are so kind to you, just to let you praise them more in front of me."
"If the Moon Girl could have a perfect plan without harming her interests, she would be willing to kill me."
Songshan
Why does Lang Jun look like he wants to be killed?
Xie Fengyue here is still comforting Zhezhi as she sits on the horse: "That person is really not what I want, and I really don't dislike you. My little Zhezhi is the most powerful girl in my heart."< br>
Zhezhi turned around with the box in his arms, as if if you don't listen, you are just saying nice things.
Huarui was smiling from ear to ear: "Sister Zhezhi, didn't that man even follow the girl out of the house? How could he get past you?"
Zhe Zhi hummed softly but still turned his head and said nothing.
Xie Fengyue's eyes were full of smiles, and she deliberately lowered her voice: "If that Huanxue were here."
Before he finished speaking, Zhezhi immediately turned around with a look of urgency on his face and stuttered: "She is not allowed to be here!"
Looking at her jealous look, Xie Fengyue succeeded in a second, and the seriousness she pretended to be on her face disappeared.
The sound of the wheels gradually became lighter, and Xie Fengyue estimated that they were almost at the Hu Mansion. Then he straightened his expression and said seriously to the two of them: "No matter which noble lady opens her mouth to make things difficult for me today, you can't speak for me. If something happens, I can't protect you, do you understand?"
Zhezhi and Huarui looked at each other and nodded heavily, saying in unison: "I won't cause trouble for the girl."
Xie Fengyue originally thought that she would only face difficulties when entering Hu's house, but she didn't expect that she would suffer enough at the door.
The grandma who was greeting guests at the door of Hu's house had a look in her eyes when she took the invitation from Zhe Zhi. She pointed at Zhe Zhi and cursed: "Which maidservant is so ignorant of the rules? You can end up like this just by keeping an invitation?" She asked loudly, waving the wrinkled invitation in her hand.
This merciless questioning voice instantly diverted the attention of the ladies waiting to enter at the door.
"This person doesn't know how to get fake invitations, otherwise why would he treat Miss Hu Er's invitation like this?" The voice of the girl in pink not far away was neither loud nor soft, just enough to reach Xie Fengyue's ears.
Xie Fengyue opened the car curtains and her eyes stopped on the crimson invitation held by the maid next to her, and she understood immediately.
It turns out that the bullying drama started from the invitation. She took her time and got out of the carriage, supported by Hua Rui.
The girl's hands are as soft as silk, her skin is like condensed fat, her collar is like a caterpillar, her teeth are like a gourd rhinoceros, and her head is like a moth-like eyebrow.
The girl who choked before saw this man's beauty. For a moment, he frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xie Fengyue didn't miss the flash of jealousy in her eyes. Her figure was graceful and graceful as she walked past her.
"I accidentally wrinkled the invitation. I will definitely apologize to Miss Hu Er later. Please be accommodating."
Her voice is as clear and graceful as a mountain spring.
Grandma looked at her face and the way she walked, and for a moment she wasn't sure whether this person was the girl she had been ordered to deal with.
This person is too unlike a side branch girl.
She considered it for a moment and then said, "If you are not polite enough, just go through the small door. Don't mess around with me at the door. The people who came to the banquet today are all young men and noble women."
Xie Fengyue smiled, "Are you insulting me, Mrs. Xie?"
She escalated the matter as soon as she opened her mouth. Regardless of her mother's immediate retort, she continued: "The Xie family has been a century-old clan, and all the uncles and brothers in the clan hold important positions in the court. You want me to take a small door? No way. Even though I am a direct descendant of the Xie family, I am also a daughter of the Xie family. How dare you, the nanny who welcomes guests, let me go through the small door? I’m afraid you don’t have the ability.”
Grandma pinched the invitation in her hand, looking a little anxious. Didn't the master say that this was a weak and easily bullied side girl?
"What's the use of embarrassing a grandma?" A female voice sounded from behind.
Xie Fengyue followed the sound and saw the girl behind her coming forward.
She seemed to be arrogant and raised her chin: "You also know that you are the daughter of the Xie family. You, a scholar, are here to embarrass a servant. She is just following orders, but you are so narrow-minded and have no Xie family style."
The carriages of ladies and gentlemen who came for the banquet arrived one after another. When they saw that the carriage in front had not left, they all got out of the carriage and gathered around.
Some noble ladies who didn't know this looked at Xie Fengyue with disdain when they heard this girl speak.
Under the strange gazes of everyone, Xie Fengyue always maintained the demeanor of a noble lady. She first leaned forward to greet her and then spoke: "What this girl said is very flattering. The invitation was my fault. I also said that I wanted to enter the house." I will personally apologize to Miss Hu Er later, but this mama just let me go through the small door.”
She looked at the people watching and asked softly: "Can I ask which house has a receptionist who would let guests go through the small door?"
Everyone who had only listened to the words at first turned their attention to the nanny after hearing this.
Even if the guest makes a mistake, he should apologize to the host. It is not a grandma's turn to make irresponsible remarks.
Mammy's face turned red and white, and she hurriedly explained: "You are just a side girl. Our girl kindly sent you a post to invite you to visit the garden, but you made the invitation so wrinkled." She said as she put the invitation She raised the invitation, wanting everyone to see clearly that what she said was not a lie.
"Then please explain to me, grandma, why everyone else's is a crimson card with an imprint that is not easily damaged, while mine is a gold-gilt card that wrinkles when exposed to water?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at the raised gold invitation. Some smart ladies had lowered their heads and took half a step back. This kind of differential treatment seems to be intentional regulation.
Just when the hostess wanted to argue, the girl from before said angrily: "It is indeed a side branch of the Xie family. Even if it is recorded as a direct branch, it will not change that petty attitude."
Xie Fengyue looked at her: "This girl has a side branch. May I ask which side branch the girl is from?"
The arrogance on her face remained unchanged: "I am the direct descendant of the second wife of the Bai family, Bai Wan."
Xie Fengyue thought about the Chenjun gentry several times in her mind before she reluctantly remembered that there seemed to be such a one.
"Declined nobles can be considered nobles. This white girl's status is barely higher than those of poor business girls." The crowd dispersed and a girl in purple walked out. The girl's face was like a peach blossom, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes made her look pure and innocent.
