When Qi Qingxi arrived at Shuixie, he saw Qi Qingqing greeting a group of young ladies to eat, drink and have fun.

Shen Xing, the Marquis of Ningguo, and his wife, Wang Shi, have only one son, Shen Zheng, and the Marquis has no concubine or children.

In time for the old lady's birthday banquet in the mansion, Madam Hou thought that she would not be able to entertain her in time, so she thought of asking Qi Qingqing to help greet the ladies of each mansion, which could be regarded as a test for Qi Qingqing, the future clan wife.

Qi Qingqing was very satisfied with how Wang shi valued herself so much, and it was not in vain for her to spend so long trying to marry into a noble family.

What makes her even more proud is that the group of young ladies in front of her used to be indifferent to her, but now they are full of flattery in their words, which makes her feel uncomfortable.

Until she saw Qi Qingxi and Xu Nianfei, the granddaughter with upturned nostrils from Xu Ge's hometown, actually came to Shuixie together.

I think she was often run over and bullied in the hands of this eldest lady, until she heard that Xu Nianfei went with her mother and her father took over her.

Immediately, she thought that Qi Qingxi's betrothed partner was Xu Nianfei's cousin from his maternal ancestral family, and she immediately felt relieved.

She immediately went forward to greet the two: "It's sister Xu and Qingxi." When calling Qi Qingxi's name, she specially emphasized her tone.

Qi Qingxi didn't understand why, but a girl next to her immediately understood, and said loudly: "Qingqing, this is the niece of General Li's family who came from the countryside with the same family as you, and even the name is very similar."

As soon as these words came out, all the noble ladies who were discussing fashionable clothes and jewelry, or discussing which house to play with all stopped, and all turned their heads to look at Qi Qingxi.

Xu Nianfei immediately jumped away from Qi Qingxi and hid in the crowd, wishing she could turn into a transparent person.

She already knew that she shouldn't have brought a country girl here, but now that her identity has been exposed by others, and others saw that she came here with this woman, it is really embarrassing.

Qi Qingxi looked at the girl in front of her, wasn't she the same girl she met with Qi Qingqing when she first returned to Qi's mansion?

It's not that she has a good memory and can still remember things from so long ago, but the big black mole on the side of this girl's nose is really impressive.

Hearing this girl's words, what do you still don't understand, don't you just want to laugh at her as a country bumpkin in front of these noble girls?

Qi Qingxi looked at the group of girls who looked like junior high school students in front of her, and she felt that she was bullying them after saying a few words.

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have allowed Ah Yue and Ah Nuan to eat snacks in the hall, and talk about their mouths. Ah Yue has been with her elder brother Li Wenhao for so long, and her combat effectiveness is not underestimated.

But Ah Yue was not there, so she had to come by herself.

If she still had scruples in the past, but now it's different, her uncle is a celebrity in front of the emperor, Li Wenkang, she has someone above her, wouldn't this be a fight?

"Yes, I am General Li's niece from the countryside, Qi Qingxi."

As soon as these words came out, some noble ladies who felt superior to others showed contempt on their faces, including the mole girl in front of her.

Qi Qingxi looked at the black mole girl with a smile and said: "Why do some people want to say that country people can't get on the stage?"

The black mole girl smiled contemptuously and said, "Isn't it?"

"If I remember correctly, Emperor Taizu was born in a rural area. Later, relying on his own ability to start a business, he was able to end the war. After the establishment of the Great Yu Dynasty, the world will be peaceful. The girl said such words , it will inevitably make people think that you even look down on Taizu." Qi Qingxi smiled lightly.

The girl immediately panicked after hearing the words: "I don't, don't talk nonsense."

Even the noble ladies who were full of disdain before immediately put away their expressions and dared not move any more.

What the country girl said was not wrong, Emperor Taizu was indeed born with mud legs, if you really want to care about it, even Taizu would scold him for saying that country people can't get on the stage.

But insulting the royal family and other things, if serious, would punish the nine clans, who would dare to say anything more about it.

Qi Qingxi stared at the pale-faced girl with black moles, then glanced at the noble girls around her who dared not look at her again, put away all her smiles, and said: "Don't ask the source of a hero, think about the reason for being rich, ladies, don't worry. Don't forget where you come from to live a peaceful life with no worries about food and clothing, and don't underestimate the country people."

Qi Qingxi walked up to Qi Qingqing again and said in a low voice: "Don't forget that you also grew up in Ningyuan Village, so you can meet each other in the future."

Qi Qingqing immediately understood the meaning of Qi Qingxi's words, if she persisted, she would tell about her life in the country.

If these ladies know about it, won't the face and reputation she has gained so hard now be completely ruined?

No, she can't let this happen.

Qi Qingqing glared at Qi Qingxi, then smiled and went to Miss Heimo to smooth things over: "Miss Qi's family is also a scholar's house, and I'm going to be a visitor. By the way, the stage in front of me is also open. If you are interested, go and order some play?"

"Okay, okay." Immediately, another girl who was on good terms with Qi Qingqing came out to smooth things over.

"Then let's go to the theater to listen to the play."

Qi Qingxi was no longer in the mood to go to the opera with these noble girls, but she didn't want to be told by Mrs. Guo when she went back, so she decided to find a place to sit nearby.

*

"Oh? This girl really said that?"

"Yes, the old slave can hear clearly nearby, that's what the girl said."

The two who were talking were Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ning Guohou, and her mother who she had sent to help Qi Qingqing take care of things.

It just so happened that this mother went to order other things and left for a while, and on the way back, she heard the conversation in the water pavilion.

At that time, Qi Qingqing dared to join hands with her friends to mock Qi Qingxi because her mother was not around, but she didn't expect that the mother knew about it, and immediately reported it to Wang.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt that her eyesight had deteriorated now, and she was far less astute than when she was choosing a husband-in-law before. She didn't realize that this girl was a provocative person, so ignorant of the general situation.

In other words, even if the two have deep grievances, they should find another time to deal with it, rather than in this kind of scene, the guests who came together as guests face each other, how can they be the hosts.

On the contrary, this other girl surnamed Qi was able to say that the hero doesn't ask where she came from. It is obvious that she is a person with broad vision and doesn't care about every detail.

It's a pity that they have already made a marriage agreement, otherwise, there is still a kid in her family who worries her, so the two can make a couple.

Wang sighed softly, and told the mother not to leave Qi Qingqing for half a step from this moment until the end of the banquet, and keep an eye on her, and send the girl next to her if there is anything to say.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing to ask her to do something else.
