The vicious villain is pretending to be weak again

Seven days later.

There is a big event in Bianjing.

The pampered Princess Baoxi held a banquet for the first time after leaving the palace.

All the noble ladies in Beijing have received invitations from Fengwu Garden.

Fengwu Garden was built by the late emperor with a lot of money. It is the leading royal garden in the Southern Song Dynasty. Normally, only clan relatives can borrow it by requesting a letter. Now, it was directly given to Princess Baoxi by His Majesty as a congratulatory gift.

But this time, I heard that Princess Baoxi not only invited the noble daughters of various families, but also the gentlemen of suitable ages from various families in Beijing.

Those who can receive invitations are all famous and respected families in Bianjing.

But this beautiful event did not fall on Weiyuan Marquis's head.

"Bang!"

Mrs. Jiang was leaning on the soft pillow, and a woman with a square face and small eyes was rubbing her legs.

This woman's surname is Liu, and she has good eyes and ears. Whenever there is a disturbance in the house, she can't avoid her ears.

Listening to the mother-in-law's report, the wrinkles on her face were deeply crowded together, full of unhappiness.

"Now she wants to hold a banquet, but she doesn't hold it at home. She doesn't have any rules. She looks very much like that short-lived ghost."

It goes without saying who the short-lived ghost that Mrs. Jiang was talking about was self-evident. Mrs. Liu didn't dare to answer this question, so she just smiled embarrassingly.

"I heard that the girls and lords invited by the princess this time are afraid that the eldest lady will not be able to handle it all by herself."

"By the way, which one should I invite?"

Mrs. Jiang frowned and asked, now that Jiang Lingyi finally came back, but this first banquet was not held in the Marquis of Weiyuan, wasn't it obvious that she was slapping them in the face.

In the past years, the Hou Mansion had offended the officials and empresses, and the nobles in Beijing avoided the Hou Mansion. Now that they want to use Jiang Lingyi's name to regain contact with those aristocratic families, I didn't expect that the little girl is not a obedient.

"I heard that the officials and relatives of the third rank and above in Beijing, as well as the clan relatives, have received invitations."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's complexion became even more ugly.

"For such an important matter, what does the eldest daughter-in-law do? She is usually shrewd, but it will be useless at this time. Such a good opportunity, this idiot actually missed it. If the banquet is held in the waiting mansion, I am afraid that those people will not come ."

What Mrs. Jiang wanted was nothing more than the dignity and prosperity of Marquis Weiyuan, but Mrs. Liu could only keep her head down cautiously.

"I heard that this time... it was the princess who posted it in his own name."

"Bullshit!"

Mrs. Jiang became more and more angry in her heart, and she was no longer kind and kind.

"Such a big matter, she dared to do it without telling the elders like us, she is really lawless! Go, you go and let the eldest daughter-in-law come over, this matter must not be left to that girl!"

As for Mrs. Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law, Yuan Shi, she found Jiang Lingyi's yard as soon as she received the news.

When Yuan Shi arrived, Jiang Lingyi had just woken up from a lunch break.

The maid raised the curtain, and the scene inside almost caught Yuan's eyes.

The decorations in the room have been completely changed, and seven or eight female envoys are surrounding Jiang Lingyi alone, combing hair, serving water, and handing towels. The division of labor is clear and orderly.

Jiang Lingyi seemed to wake up just now, her cheeks were flushed, when she saw her, she just nodded lazily.

"Big lady Ann."

"Oh, it seems that the concubine came by coincidence..."

Yuan looked at Jiang Lingyi with a full smile, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn, and now the Chief of Baoxi County held a grand banquet, she was the last to know about it, she really missed the opportunity.

Jiang Lingyi raised her eyelids lazily, her tone was soft and sleepy.

"Take the seat for the eldest lady."

"Yes~"

Yuan's smile was far-fetched, but she was thinking about how to make Jiang Lingyi change her mind. She sat down, and then began to chatter.

"The concubine just heard that the county chief held a big banquet. Isn't it a coincidence? Your father told me a few days ago that our family has been separated for several years, and your cousins ​​are all married. Now only There are very few concubine sisters, so yesterday I had a discussion with the lord. After a while, I will send a message to every family of girls who are the same age as you. If you have a good girl, please Come to the house to get together, I didn't expect..."

As Yuan Shi said, she glanced at Jiang Lingyi's expression quietly, and seeing her calm look, she couldn't continue speaking.

Jiang Lingyi took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, then said calmly.

"It's a coincidence that my uncle gave me the garden as a birthday gift. I originally wanted to add some excitement to the new garden, but I never thought that my father and the eldest lady would also have plans."

"Yes, the garden given by His Majesty is of course very good. It's just that you are still young and don't understand many rules about the banquet. It's better to let my concubine arrange it for you."

Yuan's stature is extremely low, although Mrs. Marquis of Weiyuan is a marquis, she is only half a bucket of water. She has always understood human feelings and advances and retreats.

What's more, Jiang Lingyi is the only first-rank princess, and now in Beijing, no one can stand by him.

"yes."

Jiang Lingyi turned her head slightly and looked at Yuan Shi's flattering appearance, but she didn't show any expression, neither complacent nor contemptuous.

"For this banquet, it's not that the princess doesn't trust the eldest lady. It's just that my grandmother has sent people into Fengwu Garden to prepare the banquet. It's not just a change. Besides, the post has already been posted. It's not appropriate to change it now."

Yuan's face froze, Jiang Lingyi moved out of the queen mother, how could she dare to set Duo up, but what Jiang Lingyi said next made her happy again.

"But since the banquet is held in my name, I naturally hope that it will be as lively as possible. I really like the birthday gift given by Uncle Yuan's family. Come to my Fengwu Banquet together."

Yuan Shi was stunned for a long time before quickly responding.

"Of course it's possible."

Although the Yuan family is an imperial merchant, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, and the merchant is the lowest, even if the Yuan family can stand upright in her husband's house with the dowry, it is because Marquis Weiyuan is a poor shell. Relying on her own dowry, she filled the hole where her husband and his brothers were spending their time outside.

If they go out of this door, the dignitaries outside will not recognize the face of the Yuan family.

Now that Jiang Lingyi personally invited the Yuan family to the banquet, the Yuan family was naturally overjoyed.

After all, the Yuan family now has several nieces who are still in the boudoir, if they can get a good marriage because of this, it will be a great blessing to the family.

After the huge benefits fell, Yuan's mind was a little dazed, and she also forgot what she wanted to say, and finally left Yongchun Xuan in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"As expected of a sweet girl raised by the aunt in the palace, she has a delicate heart... hey..."

"Why are you still sighing, isn't that a good thing?"

The maid beside her frowned in confusion, but Yuan Shi shook her head helplessly.

"I will accept this benefit immediately, and there is no way to explain it to Nanyuan."

"Is the lady going to refuse?"

"how is this possible."

Yuan's eyes were clear, and he sneered.

"It's such a great event, only a fool would push it away, and others can't participate if they want to participate."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards his yard with a refreshed face.

Only the little maid was left chasing behind in a daze.

A woman's heart, the day of June.

fickle.
