Bind health system after exile

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Family Banquet (1)

Yang Zhaoquan's work efficiency was indeed satisfactory, and Qin Shumei got the news that she could evacuate Xu Mansion early as she wished.

But the price is: having to have a banquet with the Xu family again.

Qin Shu's face drooped, but if she was asked to choose between the two options of "staying for two more days" and "having a meal and leaving", she would still choose the second one.

Yang Zhaoquan saw that she was unhappy, so he patiently lifted up the broken hair on the back of Qin Shumei's head, and helped her put a small comb on it. It was inlaid with shell beads and silver ornaments, which Qin Shumei bought for fun on the street.

Originally, this kind of thing should be done by the maid left by the Wu family, but neither of them thought of calling her a maid.

As far as Yang Zhaoquan is concerned, helping her dress up is his own business.

I bought some jewelry in Yuankang City, and he helped Qin Shumei dress up. At first, he was afraid that as a woman, she couldn't even dress up and lose face, but later she became familiar with it and didn't want to use his hands to do it.

people.

As for Qin Shumei, she has no habit of asking maids for help.

Except for the day she got married, she had never enjoyed being surrounded by maids. The hairstyle in ancient times was so difficult to comb, and she didn't have eyes on the back of her head. Now that someone is willing to do it for her, she naturally wants it.

"Fortunately we are in exile."

"How do you say this?"

Yang Zhaoquan was already accustomed to her shocking words. Looking at Da Yin, she was the only one who could say such things. Hearing what she said, he just raised his eyebrows and turned around to get her the dossier box.

Matching rosettes.

"Look, there aren't many people in the Xu Mansion, but Xu Dingkun alone can sing three operas. Plus the rest, it's not a piece of cake to form a troupe."

Yang Zhaoquan nodded. The back house is a place of disputes, and things will naturally happen. This was because he had lost face. General Xu ordered Xu Dingkun to stay away and think about his mistakes, so the Xu Mansion became quieter these two days.

While he was giving Qin Shumei a flower, he secretly regretted that he should have asked General Xu to keep Xu Dingkun in prison longer, at least not letting him participate in tonight's dinner, otherwise it would disturb Qin Shumei's appetite again.

"There are more people in the palace and things are more complicated. If there was no exile, then I would be the princess if I married you. There are so many twists and turns, I can't handle it."

Qin Shumei applied lipstick herself, turned around and asked Yang Zhaoquan.

"How about it?"

“Very nice.”

Although Qin Shumei bought jewelry in Yuankang City, she was rarely fully armed. Yang Zhaoquan asked her to dress up like this so that she would not be rude on important occasions.

Yang Zhaoquan looked at her movements, but remembered what General Xu had said, and was a little lost in thought.

"If Your Highness makes the choice, the road will be smooth and full of flowers, and it will be even easier to ascend to the position of King Wei again."

At that time, he was very tempted, but after hearing Qin Shumei's words, he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.

After entering the banquet, Qin Shumei realized why Yang Zhaoquan asked her to dress up properly.

The standard of the farewell banquet was much higher than that of the daily tea party. Everyone from the old lady to Xu Zhenying showed their highest energy.

Wu's peony-patterned satin skirt is bright and beautiful, Dong's cloud-embroidered butterfly and lily skirt is fresh and moving, the old lady has a five-blessing bouquet on her head and a jade-encrusted forehead, and even Xu Zhenying wears an exquisite gold necklace.

A piece of bright red agate fell in the middle, making his little face rosy and lovely.

Qin Shumei didn't expect that everyone would attach so much importance to this banquet. She let Tao Jiajia hold her arm, feeling that only this one was pleasing to her eyes - because she usually wore gold and silver.

"You are dressed too plainly. Are you really so poor?"

Look at that mouth! Qin Shumei doesn't have the heart to confront this person who can't speak wisely.

Although Tao Jiajia was not a smart person, she was more practical. She directly pulled out a pair of red gold diamonds from her head, inserted them on both sides of Qin Shumei's hair, and looked sideways.

"It still looks good with a gold one, it complements your complexion!"

Qin Shumei smiled and pushed her away, reaching out to pull it off. I've only heard that clothes can enhance your complexion, but how can gold enhance your complexion?

The two of them were jostling each other so happily that they didn't see Dong's forced smile at all.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere was brightened. The old lady once again brought up the old topic of fertility. Both daughters-in-law didn't look good on their faces, but they tried to keep their composure.

When the old lady mumbled to the part "My Dingkun doesn't have a daughter yet", Mrs. Dong smiled and served her dishes.

"I think Third Sister is very lucky. She is born with a prosperous husband-like appearance and is suitable for men."

"Of course, my mother has already passed away. We, Jiajia, will be rich and safe in the future. I don't know who is so lucky as to beg our third sister." Mrs. Wu's face was full of smiles.

With her interruption, the old lady's attention was immediately focused on telling Tao Jiajia about the important events of her husband's family. For a while, names such as Zhang Lang, Liu Lang, Li Lang, etc. came out one after another. I don't know where the old lady collected so many marriageable people.

Young men.

"What's the benefit of marrying outside?"

Seeing that the topic was going to go a thousand miles away, Mrs. Dong quickly brought the focus back.

"Looking at the entire Ning division, which family is better than ours?"

"Hey, that's what my sister-in-law said. It's time for boys to get married and girls to get married. Jiajia has never gotten married. Is it possible that, sister-in-law, you will support her for the rest of her life?"

Qin Shumei listened to the two sisters arguing with each other, stretched out her chopsticks and added a few dried bean curds with dragon beards. The good dried bean curd was cut into hair-thin thickness, and mixed with shrimp and bamboo shoot oil. It was refreshing and delicious, and went well with the show in front of her.

It's wonderful to eat.

She glanced at Tao Jiajia, who was also eating happily. She wore bracelets on her hands and a hairpin on her head. Everything from the top of her head to her toes was exquisite. There was no need for such financial resources to be raised by others. She didn't want to raise two children herself.

His appearance is quite restrained.

"Of course I am willing to keep such a good lady. Jiajia herself is reluctant to leave, right?"

Dong didn't feel comfortable opening her mouth, so she just kicked the ball and named Tao Jiajia.

"Mrs. Tao also told our wife that she admires the second master for his handsomeness and suave style, and she would like to accompany him all the time." The maid next to Dong also lowered her eyebrows and supported her.

Qin Shumei couldn't eat any more of the dried bean curd, so she turned to look at Tao Jiajia. Seeing that the latter also had a dumbfounded look on her face, she knew that this was Dong's own stunt.

"Oh? Really?"

The old lady also put down her chopsticks. She couldn't stand her man's three wives and four concubines, and her attitude towards her two sons was "only allowed to play, not allowed to enter the house".

If her attitude towards men is this, she will only be stricter towards girls. She will never look down upon the type of people who are cheating.

"Jiajia, tell me, do you want to marry your second brother?"

The old lady stopped eating and drinking. Even Sizhu stopped talking. The girl had been raised under her knees since she was a child. She couldn't hide her temper and would not tell lies. She would get whatever she asked.

"Originally I wanted to."

Qin Shumei straightened her body, wishing she could call the case to remind you. I know you are sincere, but you don’t have to be so sincere!

"But I later figured it out that it was inappropriate for me to marry my second brother. Besides, I don't have any romantic feelings for him. It's better for the old lady to make the final decision on the marriage."

The old lady raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Jiajia, what did you tell me at the beginning? Aren't you just afraid of being angry and suffering when you leave the house? Now you have figured it out and are willing to get married?"

Mrs. Dong pretended to be a caring sister-in-law and asked questions from the bottom of her heart.

"Mrs. Tao was so determined at first that she even made a purse specially for the second master!"

Tao Jiajia couldn't refute it. She was so moved at first that she wanted to marry Xu Dingkun with all her heart. Not only did she make a purse, but she also wrote a love poem. It was the maid around her who persuaded her to stop giving the love poem to Mr. Dong.

She didn't know how to lie or pretentious. Looking at the "evidences" that Mr. Dong took out and the old lady's eyes dimming, she slumped on the table helplessly, anxious to defend herself, but couldn't think of any good words.

.

Qin Shumei knew in her heart that as long as Tao Jiajia had such thoughts, the old lady would feel a thorn in her heart. Every time she thought about it, she would feel sick and her love for her would not be the same as before.

If Mrs. Dong can't eat meat, she will spit in the pot, and if she doesn't get it, she will step on it.

"Is it possible that Mrs. Tao will be bullied as soon as she leaves the house? I can't see it."

Qin Shumei wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her posture was very graceful.

"My family has a great business and is deeply favored by the emperor. Old lady, you are kind-hearted and wise and kind. My sister-in-law looks at you kindly and speaks well. With such a family and such a family, who would dare to bully Mrs. Tao?"

A lot of things are worn, but nothing can be flattered. Even a coward who is praised for his bravery might be able to summon up his masculinity, let alone a family like the Xu family. Tao Jiajia was raised as her own daughter, and she was bullied, and

It would be no different if he slapped General Xu in the face.

"Everyone in the mansion takes great care of Mrs. Tao. How could she think that she would be bullied when she leaves the mansion? Could it be that someone is alarming her and that makes her think this way?"

Qin Shu put a black brick on her eyebrows and watched with joy as Dong's face turned as bright as an overturned paint box.

"Let's talk about the purse."

"What's so big about my sister-in-law giving her a purse? What's embroidered on it is 'Specially for Mr. Xu Dingkun'? I think the pattern is the most common 'magpie climbing a branch', right? It doesn't look like it's a special expressive of affection."

"I'm afraid that even if someone gives me a purse with good intentions, some people will use it to spit on others."

What is Qin Shumei afraid of? There is no surveillance or video recording. Dong can do whatever she wants. In this case, she will refuse to admit it on Tao Jiajia's behalf and make fun of him without shame.

"You, you, you, distort the truth!"

Before Ms. Dong could sit still, the maid next to her got angry first.

"I didn't say who it was, so why were I so anxious to get seated?" Qin Shumei deliberately left a blank space, waiting for Mr. Dong to jump in.

"Ms. Qin, this is my family's business. You are an outsider, so why don't you speak for me?" Mrs. Dong said slowly and calmly, but she gave Qin Shumei a fierce look.
