Chapter 179 Encounter
Mrs. Dou's hair was combed by Mr. Zhengbin Zhuo, and she put on a high and auspicious moon-facing bun. She only wore a few small jewelry on it, and she was supported by Xia Zihan and Mr. Zhuo one on the left and the other on her way to the hall.
The girl Shi who was following behind her was holding a tray with a piece of Luopa and a golden bun with eight treasures and beads on it.
It was the auspicious hairpin that Miss Dou asked the guest to insert for her during the hairpin ceremony. After the hairpin was inserted, Miss Dou's hairpin ceremony was completed.
There were already thirty or forty people standing in the hall. Because of the cold weather, no one liked to go out. The Dou family only invited some close relatives to come over.
Although there were not many people, everyone who had been bored at home for a long time seemed particularly happy to see each other, which made the banquet a little more lively.
Miss Dou walked in with a blushing face, and the lively hall suddenly calmed down.
Under the guidance of the main guest, Miss Dou first bowed to her parents sitting in the seats, and then the main guest.
Mrs. Li looked very happy, as if our son had grown up. She stood up, said a few auspicious words, and then asked the guests to start.
Under the guidance of Zheng Bin, Miss Dou knelt down.
The guest sang loudly, "Today is an auspicious day, I am happy to add yuan to my clothes, and I will give up my ambition..."
After singing for half a cup of tea, I finally finished singing.
Zhengbin didn't even take a breath, and quickly added a rhopa and a hairpin to Miss Dou. Then the Propaganda Department said that she was an adult and gave Miss Dou a word, "Fuji", hoping that Miss Dou would be blessed with good fortune.
At this point, the ceremony is complete.
Xia Zihan and Miss Shi stepped forward to help Miss Dou, whose kneeling legs were almost numb, and helped her back to the room to change into new clothes before going out to entertain the guests.
Mrs. Zhuo waved to Xia Zihan, "Ayu, sit here with my aunt."
As the guest of honor and the wife of a first-class Duke, Mrs. Zhuo naturally sat at the main table. The people at the same table with her were also some ladies with relatively high status and class.
Mrs. Dou, Mrs. Shi, was sitting next to Mr. Zhuo.
Xia Zihan has a high status and is a fan, so no one will say anything when sitting at the main table.
However, when Miss Shi saw her walking towards the main table, she also wanted to follow her, but no one called her. She was so thin-skinned that she froze in the middle of the hall for a while, her little round face turning purple.
Mrs. Shi wanted to sit at the same table with her daughter, but she looked around and saw that there were no empty seats. The last empty seat was reserved specially for Xia Zihan by Mrs. Li. Xia Zihan had already taken it. There was no seat left. She It’s not easy to ask my daughter to come over.
Miss Dou was still lively, agile and clever. She quickly took Miss Shi's hand and brought her to the table where a group of girls of similar age, Dou Er and Dou San, were sitting.
Miss Shi, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, laughed stiffly for a long time before her expression gradually returned to normal.
After Miss Dou noticed from the sidelines, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little angry that this cousin was too small-minded, arrogant, and loved to compare.
After the banquet, Xia Zihan and a group of girls went to Miss Dou's boudoir to play. Miss Shi remembered what happened before, and when she saw Xia Zihan, she spoke with some thorns. Fortunately, Miss Dou was a Clever, she was able to get rid of him intentionally or unintentionally every time.
Just kidding, Xia Zihan and Miss Shi, one is her cousin's sweetheart and good friend, and the other is her aunt's daughter and cousin. She doesn't want them to fight each other and make them blush. Then she will be the one in trouble.
But later, when Miss Shi saw Miss Dou defending Xia Zihan everywhere, she felt even more angry.
When she went back to her grandmother's house, there was no time when the Dou family's cousins didn't surround her with warm greetings, but today they gathered around Xia Zihan, especially the eldest cousin, who had a defensive look on her face, as if she could eat her. Xia Zihan seems to be happy.
As soon as she got angry, the javelin was pointed directly at Xia Zihan, "Among us girls, County Master Chuyu is the most fortunate. He has a good wife, and he has won the favor of the emperor. He has been granted the title of County Master, and is all over the capital." Who among the girls here is not envious?”
The tone was sour, and at the end, he added an even more sour sentence, "Every time Crown Prince Song mentions you in front of me, he always looks proud."
Miss Shi studied with Shi Hanlin. Several of Shi Hanlin's students were very familiar with Miss Shi and often studied together. Especially Song Huai, Shi Hanlin's favorite student, stood side by side with Miss Shi. They were like men. A talented woman and a handsome man, a perfect match.
Unfortunately, Miss Shi was interested, but Song Huai was engaged. In Song Huai's opinion, he was very fond of Xia Zihan and was completely devoted to her.
Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless.
When this flower saw Xia Zihan again, it was like meeting a love rival. Her words were sour and her eyes were piercing, and she was able to provoke Xia Zihan's anger.
But Xia Zihan looked at Miss Dou's appearance today and refused to share her knowledge, so she graciously gave in to her.
She smiled, grinned, and said, "Yes, when my grandfather was still alive, he always said that I am stupid and blessed. I have a title and a fiancé who is very impressive in terms of appearance, talent, and talent. I also It’s satisfying.”
It's you who are dissatisfied.
It's a bit strange how you are burning.
When Xia Zihan saw Miss Shi constantly targeting her, she paid close attention to Miss Shi. Soon, she guessed a fact from Miss Shi's jealous eyes.
This girl Shi likes Song Huai. No wonder he stabbed her in less than three sentences and mentioned Song Huai at every turn. In front of her fiancée, it showed how good the relationship between her and Song Huai was as classmates.
Yep, a scumbag and a nymphomaniac, they are all people she disdains in her position.
After that, Xia Zihan stopped talking to Miss Shi. Even if Miss Shi tried to stab her with words, she would just humbly deal with it.
Just kidding, for the sake of a scumbag Song Huai, he and Miss Shi fell out at Miss Dou's hairpin ceremony and made Miss Dou embarrassed. It was not worth it no matter what.
At Yin Shi, all the ladies left one after another, and the girls also left one after another.
Mrs. Shi was the daughter of the Dou family and would be the last to say goodbye. Mrs. Zhuo was also the last to say goodbye. She sent someone to call Xia Zihan and went back home with her.
"Ginger is still very old, and she really knows how to get into the camp." Miss Shi said in a cold and calm manner.
Miss Dou stroked her forehead. She really wanted to cover her cousin's mouth. What happened to her cousin who was always sensible and polite today? She felt like she was under fire. She fired at every turn.
"Chu Yu, my cousin is not feeling well today, and her words are inevitably a little confusing. Please ignore her." Miss Dou secretly apologized to Xia Zihan in embarrassment.
Xia Zihan didn't blame Miss Dou, but he was very angry with Miss Shi. She would stab her whenever she stabbed her. Why did she involve her grandmother?
She originally wanted to break up with her, but when she saw Miss Dou's face full of apology and embarrassment, she endured it and regarded it as a dog barking twice.
After Xia Zihan left, Miss Shi still sighed, "What the hell? Isn't it just because of the title of county head that she went to the Anyang Marquis Mansion? If it weren't for the title, the Crown Prince of Song would marry her, hum. …”
A look of disdain on his face.
The four girls from the Dou family walked in, and when they saw her ferocious expression, their expressions immediately turned ugly.
At this time, Miss Shi was the only guest left. Without the outsiders, Miss Dou did not hide her words and stared at Miss Shi, "Why does my cousin dislike Chu Yu?"
"The marriage between the Chu family and the Song family happened before the death of Mr. Chu Ge. At that time, Chu Yu had not been named the county head by the emperor, but his cousin criticized Chu Yu every time, saying that it was because of this title that the Crown Prince Song was willing to marry him. She is engaged, what does cousin An think?”
"I...what do I have on my mind?" Miss Shi said with a guilty look on her face, "I just can't stand Chu Yu's arrogant face."
"Who are you so arrogant today? Chu Yu tolerates you everywhere, but my cousin goes even further and troubles Chu Yu everywhere. You know exactly what your cousin wants to do. If you behave like this in the future, the banquets I will hold in the future will , and I won’t invite my cousin here.”
Rather than inviting her here to specifically fight against Chu Yu, it would be better to come less often.
Miss Shi's face turned green and red. She had always been conceited and talented. When had she ever been told this?
With red eyes, she yelled at Miss Dou, "Cousin, is it Chu Yu who is your cousin, or am I your cousin? Why do you always talk to an outsider? Are you flattering her when you see that she is the head of the county? ?”
"I'm your direct cousin. If you don't help me, forget it. You are still helping an outsider and you want to break up with me. First cousin, it's a mistake for me to come today. I shouldn't have come today."< br>
Then he ran away crying.
Miss Dou stamped her feet and was very angry.
But there is no way, the cousin is the apple of the eye of the aunt and uncle, she ran away in anger and has to chase her back.
The four sisters of the Dou family ran to catch up.
Xia Zihan and Zhuo were sent outside the gate by Li himself.
But before I could leave the gate, I saw a group of teenagers laughing and joking from afar.
Li and Zhuo stopped. When the group of teenagers approached, they realized there were women in front of them. They wanted to avoid them, but there was no place to hide.
The eldest young master of the Dou family, who was all at the front, saw that it was his mother and cousin, so he bravely brought a few good friends over to say hello.
After several teenagers saluted, one of them let out a sigh and asked blankly, "Cousin Chu Yu, why are you here?"
His voice attracted the attention of several young men to Xia Zihan.
In fact, Xia Zihan had already seen Song Huai, and she saw him when they walked over.
I thought to myself, it's not that enemies don't get together, but if they can meet like this, it's just like ape dung.
Hey...
"Cousin Huai." Chu Yu came over to salute and called softly.
Xia Zihan, who is wrapped in a white fox fur, has a small face that is even more beautiful, with a complexion like snow, a smile, lips like cinnabar, teeth like white jade, and a pair of smart eyes that flicker, dazzling than the stars in the sky, look. The souls of several young men almost flew away.
