Jia Min's Counterattack

With nothing to worry about, Jia Min quietly had her baby at home.On this day, she received a post from Mrs. Xie, inviting her to attend the Lotus Appreciation Banquet at Li's house on June [-]th.

"Wan Mo, let me go. Now that my baby is sitting firmly and I don't feel sick, why can't I go out? I've been at home for so long!" Jia Min pouted and acted like a baby to Wan Momo road.

Ever since Wan Momo slept with Jia Min all night after being robbed, the relationship between the two is like close blood relatives. What's up.

"Okay, stop acting like a baby, I'm not like the master, if you act like a baby, he will promise you anything."

"Wanna, you don't love me anymore!" Jia Min said, her eyes really turned red.

Wan Momo couldn't bear it, so he said: "You are not a child anymore, think about the many people at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, in case someone bumps into someone, you should listen to what you say, let's stay at home obediently, tomorrow How about making you your favorite crispy chicken!"

"Well, you also said that I am not a child anymore, why do you still treat me like a child?"

"Then why don't you just ask the master!"

"Ask me what?" As soon as Wan Momo finished speaking, Lin Ruhai entered the room.

"Husband, thank you sister's family for holding a lotus banquet tomorrow. I am in good health now. Doctor Hu said that I am fine, and the child is also fine!" Jia Min said, pulling Lin Ruhai's sleeve, looking expectantly. with him.

"Oh, it's the lotus banquet at Brother Ji Fan's house! That's just right, I met Brother Ji Fan today, and he also gave me a post. I'll take a rest tomorrow, so I'll go with you!"

Jia Min listened, nodded happily, and urged Lue to prepare clothes for her going out tomorrow.

Wan Meme shook her head helplessly, "The master spoils his wife too much! He will spoil his wife."

Lin Ruhai chuckled, "No, Min'er is so cute and sensible, how could she be spoiled?"

Wan Memo shook his head again, and resigned helplessly.

The next day, Jia Min woke up early in the morning. Lin Ruhai looked at her amusedly as she dressed, washed, combed her hair and put on makeup by herself like a busy bee.

"Are you so happy to be able to go out?" Lin Ruhai asked when the two finally sat in the carriage to Li's Mansion.

"Yeah, I'm getting moldy staying at home!" Jia Min didn't forget to make a face for Lin Ruhai after finishing speaking.

Lin Ruhai pinched her flushed face, "In the future, I will take more time to go out with you!"

"Can't you follow without you, let Dongmei, Mo Lan and Wei Zi all follow?" Jia Min stared straight at Lin Ruhai with big wet eyes.

"Stop being coquettish, there's nothing to discuss!"

Jia Min curled her lips in disappointment and turned her head to the side.

Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of Li's house, Lin Ruhai got out of the carriage, and went with Li Jifan to the place where the men had a banquet.And Jia Min was heading towards the second gate in the carriage, Li Ruolan greeted her as soon as she got out of the carriage, "Sister Min'er, how are you? But I was looking forward to you."

"Sister Ruolan is overjoyed. I heard that you are engaged. I haven't had time to congratulate my sister yet!"

Li Ruolan blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Min'er! Let's go quickly, my sister-in-law is receiving Princess Jiayue, and she couldn't come to pick you up, please don't be offended."

"Sister, you're being polite! Why is Jiayue here today?"

"Just allow you to come, why can't I come?" Jiayue Xu heard Jia Min's voice, walked over and took Jia Min's hand, "I haven't seen you for a long time! I said that once you get married, you will be married." You can't play with me!"

"You're about to get married, you should take it easy, don't just play around, Mr. Wu will ask you for clothes, shoes and socks, purse and fan cover, I'll see what you should do." Jia Min said angrily. .He and Jiayue entered the flower hall holding hands.

"Mrs. Lin and Princess Jiayue really have a very close relationship. If someone else said these words, Princess Jiayue would be annoyed." The speaker was a very beautiful girl with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a pointed chin. It seemed a little mean.

"At this time, our aunt's cousin is named Xiang Xiaoqin, and her father is the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, and she came to Beijing to participate in the general election." Mrs. Xie hurriedly introduced, and the dislike in her eyes could not be concealed from Jia Min.

"Hehe! You're talking as if I love being annoying? But you're right about one thing, Min'er and I are indeed sisters, so don't bully Min'er, or I won't forgive anyone!" Jia Princess Yue said, raised her chin, and glanced at Xiang Xiaoqin.

Xiang Xiaoqin was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend Princess Jiayue, so she could only stare at Jia Min resentfully.Jia Min saw it and said: I didn't say a word, do you hate me?

Mrs. Xie introduced the wives of several officials to Jia Min, and everyone took their seats after exchanging pleasantries.

Mrs. Xie pulled Jia Min to look at her for a while, "I see that you look good, are you feeling sick?"

"Fortunately, I don't have much nausea, but occasionally I feel nauseous when I wake up in the morning."

"Then you don't have to suffer less, my two boys, you didn't torment me less at that time."

"Min'er, mother said, I will find you two suitable nanny later." Princess Jiayue sat down next to Jia Min, holding one of Jia Min's arms with both hands.

"Then I really want to thank the eldest princess! My husband is also looking for it, but I haven't found a suitable one."

"You don't have to thank me! Go back and ask your husband for a piece of calligraphy. Wu Shaojun saw his calligraphy in his brother's study that day, and he liked it very much. I promised to help him get it."

"Okay, no problem! I'll let him write when I get back tonight."

At this time Xiang Xiaoqin spoke again, "Is Mrs. Lin's husband a great calligrapher?"

Jia Min smiled and said: "My husband is just an ordinary literati, how dare he call you everyone, but the princess can think highly of him!"

Mrs. Liu said, "Mrs. Lin is too modest. In this capital, who doesn't know that Mr. Lin's words have entered the eyes of the emperor, and now he is with the emperor every day. Most of the imperial edicts today are written by Mr. Lin." .”

"Emperor Long En, just praise him!"

For a moment, everyone began to compliment Lin Ruhai one by one.

Xiang Xiaoqin has only been in the capital for two days, and she wanted to take advantage of this lotus feast to build a good relationship with Princess Jiayue, but Princess Jiayue is so difficult to please, she found a lot of topics, but Princess Jiayue didn't answer, She kept asking Xie who was next to her: why Jia Min hasn't come yet.Therefore, Xiang Xiaoqin hated Jia Min even before he came.After Jia Min came, she heard that Jia Min's husband was Tanhua, or the head of the Lin family, a five-generation prince, a scholarly family.This made her jealous of Jia Min even more, and seeing Princess Jiayue so close to Jia Min made her even more displeased.She didn't understand, Lin Ruhai was just a six-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy, was it worth so many people to please him?

At this time, a servant girl came to report: a banquet has been prepared over the lotus pond.Mrs. Xie led a group of wives, and Li Ruolan led a group of girls. They all went to a waterside pavilion on the south side of the lotus pond. Across the waterside pavilion, the gazebo on the east side of the lotus pond was a place for men to have banquets and chat and laugh occasionally. The sound can come through.

"Today, all the ladies and wives are invited to come to the mansion to watch the lotus in this pool together. Let's take a look, is it still interesting?"

"Grandma Li was joking, if the lotus in your house doesn't catch your eye, you won't be able to find a better one." Princess Jiayue said.

"It's so beautiful, why don't we write some poems to suit the situation?" Li Ruolan suggested.

"Okay! When I was in Jinling, the ladies of the official family also liked to compose poems and paintings at gatherings." Xiang Xiaoqin immediately agreed, she thought she was very talented, and when she was in Jinling, her poems were rarely surpassed by anyone .As everyone knows, it is because of her status as the daughter of the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture that everyone curry favor with her.Xiang Xiaoqin is also trying to make Jia Min look bad!

"Mrs. Lin is Mrs. Tanhua. Master Lin has outstanding talents. Mrs. Lin must also be amazingly talented, so please invite Mrs. Lin to come first." As soon as Xiang Xiaoqin's words came out, everyone echoed.Xiang Xiaoqin didn't know, except for her, almost everyone here knew Jia Min's reputation, and others thought she was trying to save face because of the unreasonableness just now.

Jiayue looked at Xiang Xiaoqin meaningfully, "Are you sure you want Min'er to do it first?"

"Of course!"

Xie sneered and said, "Min'er, hurry up, don't let people underestimate you!"

Jia Min is married and doesn't want to show off, but she won't be a coward in the face of other people's malicious provocations.She walked to the edge of the lotus pond, looking at a pool of lotus flowers in full bloom, with Mo Lan and Wei Zi guarding her from left to right.After a while, she turned around and faced the crowd, reciting softly: "Slender and beautiful figure with elegant charm, bright and charming face with lofty personality. Watch the wind and rain alone in the world, and smile at other flowers together."

After a moment of silence, there were cheers and applause from the crowd.
