Ya Yin and Shi Yafu were not as sentimental as their sisters at this time, and they did not have to think about this issue that much. Their father's instructions were still in their ears. The burden of reviving the family and the sect rested on the shoulders of the three sisters. They had to do their best. It is her responsibility to be the daughter of the Shi family.
While Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu were casually socializing with the guests surrounding them, their eyes kept wandering around the crowd at the reception, hoping to find their target earlier. The reception has officially begun, but the target has never been found. Lin Yuexin and Su Tai and Wang Liao took on the important task of dealing with the guests. However, the fate of the Shi family cannot be decided by the three of them. They must find to the ultimate goal.
Shi Yayin looked sideways with some contempt at Lin Yuexin, who was chatting and laughing with the guests. What a jade fox, the most beautiful woman in Sanjiang, both beautiful and intelligent. If she hadn't happened to be born in the Lin family, and Lin Guoxiong also happened to occupy Sanjiang, I'm afraid this Lin Yuexin can be considered an ordinary Xiaojiabiyu at best. Green and astringent like an unripe apple, it may be somewhat attractive to those boys who have never tasted the taste of a woman, but if they really want to conquer a mature man like Li Wufeng, they may still need some heat. Shi Yayin is full of confidence in this. Although the other party tried hard to cover up her poor social skills, Lin Yuexin was too immature for a lady like Shi Yayin who had been wandering in the upper class for a long time. Shi Yayin was even a little aggrieved. If she or both of them were If two sisters, especially Yawei, can take over the other's role, they can definitely do better than the other.
But fate has always been like swaying raindrops, falling regardless of the will of man and earth. Whoever falls on it will be destined to have a life-long destiny. Just like himself, he married into the royal family that everyone was optimistic about at that time. However, fate seemed to have played a joke. In less than half a year, his father-in-law's stupidity not only ruined the entire family, but also ruined the hope of the Shi family.
And Yafu's fate didn't seem to be much different from her own. Seeing that she was marrying into the Miao family, which was known as the head of the five major families, although she was not the eldest son, she was still considered a member of the Miao family among the five major families in the empire. However, it was pleasant. But things happened one after another. First, the Yafu family lost power in the entire Miao family. From then on, the husband fell into despair and was addicted to cockfighting and gambling all day long. Then she fell in love with a prostitute, and Yafu had to follow in her own footsteps and live in seclusion at her parents' house after her menstrual period returned. What is even more serious is the sudden decline of the entire Miao family. The main reason was that the imperial center was unable to control local areas, but the Miao family's failure to accurately assess the situation and identify the development trend was the key. The loss of the Miao family's mines in the Kansai, Beiyuan and Heshuo areas finally made this huge family difficult. The direct reason was the bad relationship with Li Wufeng, who was in charge of the power in Western Xinjiang. When the mines worth hundreds of millions were suddenly nationalized, you How can such a large family maintain their inherent life
Lin Yuexin walked among the guests with great interest while observing several prominent figures among the female guests. The three Shus of the Shi family were naturally in the limelight, but Shi Yawei, who was famous in the imperial capital for her poetry and swordsmanship, seemed like Somewhat absent-minded. And her two sisters were constantly looking for something in the crowd. Lin Yuexin didn't know who the other party was looking for, but Wu Feng still hadn't shown up so far, which really surprised Lin Yuexin. Could Wu Feng really be there? Are you going to let go and hold on until the end
The peerless elegance of the palace etiquette officer is indeed not something ordinary women can possess. Even Lin Yuexin has to admit that the cool grace brought about by him is definitely something that other women can imitate. This is due to the long-term family upbringing and the special environment of life. It is possible to cultivate this kind of nobility that is arrogant to all. Any woman will involuntarily feel a sense of inferiority in front of her, even Lin Yuexin is no exception, but Lin Yuexin can cover up and restrain this very well. a negative feeling. Seeing the elegance of the palace etiquette officer, Lin Yuexin also had the idea of taking a look at the so-called "Snow Reflecting Peony" among the three flowers of the old imperial capital. It's a pity that this thirteenth princess is said to be incompatible with her lover in every aspect, and it seems very unlikely to meet him on these occasions.
The unexpected arrival of the piano master Yao Lian also caused a small sensation in the entire cocktail party. The participation of this piano artist who seemed to have nothing to do with politics in such a cocktail party with a strong political atmosphere also added a bit of artistic flavor to the cocktail party. The men and women who crowded around her proved that artists were welcome wherever they were. However, what makes people a little unwilling is that the veil seems to have not been taken off just because it is His Highness King Qin's cocktail party. The looming dimples bring more stimulating visual experience to everyone. Lin Yuexin also has to admit that this way of seducing Arousing people's curiosity is more effective than dressing up.
The appearance of the woman named Jin Wanyi made Lin Yuexin a little unhappy. She naturally knew that this woman was actually her lover's mistress. Of course she would not take this kind of woman seriously, but she just felt that this kind of woman was not good enough. It seemed quite appropriate for the characters on the stage to appear here, but in this case Lin Yuexin couldn't express anything.
The reception had officially started, but Li Wufeng was still not seen. Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu exchanged anxious looks. If Li Wufeng arrived at the reception, their purpose of coming would be completely meaningless. From the perspective of Su and Wang Showing coldness, one can feel that the Xijiang side does not seem to have a good impression of Ting Xuexuan. It is obviously unlikely that the two of them can be reconciled, so all hopes can only be pinned on a meeting with Li Wufeng, but this kind of opportunity It seems slim, maybe tonight is the only chance. The lounges around the ball hall and banquet hall have been searched, and there is no figure of Li Wufeng on the outer lawn. Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu shuttled in vain between the corridors. Even Shi Yawei noticed the restlessness of his two sisters. My mood also became tense.
Li Wufeng has obviously not arrived yet. Although the reception was lively, it did not cause any disturbance, which proves this. Is it true that Li Wufeng does not intend to attend this first social event held by Xijiang? Will Li Wufeng look down upon guests with close contact when they arrive? Neither Shi Yayin nor Shi Yafu believed that Li Wufeng could be so arrogant.
The three sisters of the Shi family are by no means the only ones with the same mentality. Although everyone has different purposes, their wishes are the same. They all hope that His Highness King Qin, who is too low-key this time when he comes to the imperial capital, can show up at the reception earlier, so that there will be fewer people. He was even planning on how to meet His Highness the King of Qin as soon as possible, and the small reception rooms next to the two halls were already fully booked.
Although the conversation with Sophia was not very harmonious, Wu Feng was able to guess a thing or two from the other party's hesitant mood. A variety of emotions were mixed together, and pride and inferiority combined with some loneliness made Sophia fall into this kind of love and helpless. To extricate herself, maybe give her more time so that she can come out and find what she wants without being influenced by external factors. Wu Feng doesn't want to push the other party too hard.
When Wu Feng's figure finally appeared at the entrance of the corridor, Shi Yafu, who had been waiting here, spotted him immediately.
"His Royal Highness, is it a little inappropriate for you to arrive at this time?" The natural sound like an oriole made Wu Feng, who was about to step into the arena, fixate his eyes firmly on the woman in Tang suit and cheongsam in front of him. , her curvy figure was tightly wrapped in a rust-red cheongsam, but the chest area was hollowed out, just exposing her deep cleavage, and her long snow-white legs were faintly visible in the gap between the slit that almost reached her waist and abdomen. It can be seen that it is enough to evoke endless reveries.
"You are...Ya" In fact, Wu Feng recognized the beauty in front of him at the first sight, but pretending to be reserved, he still pretended to be somewhat impressed but not too impressed, while waving his hand to stop the person who had already come from the two wings. The guards who protected him took further action.
"Your Highness, you are so noble and forgetful. Is it possible that I am so miserable that I have no impression in His Highness's eyes?" Shi Yafu was a little disappointed in her heart, but Shi Yafu still moved lightly to block Wu Feng's way to the ballroom. She couldn't Let Li Wufeng enter the venue. As soon as he entered the venue, the hope of the three sisters to have a deep conversation with each other was lost. The guests who came forward hoping to have a few words with His Royal Highness the King of Thailand would make all their hopes come to nothing.
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Shi Er. Please forgive me. Li has been away from Beijing for a long time. His strengths have been neglected. He has also forgotten his friends in the capital. Please forgive me for this, Miss Shi Er." It would be a lie for a beauty to say that Wu Feng was not interested. It was just that the matter of going to Beijing was urgent, and An Qier and Situ Yutang were both in the imperial capital. Even if Wu Feng had some ideas, it would be a castle in the air. In addition, the time he stayed in Beijing was very short. There was no chance to seduce the sisters who had a stunning and shocking impression in my memory that day. When we met on such an occasion today, Wu Feng's desire was immediately aroused.
"Hehe, it seems that His Highness has not forgotten my sisters. This time His Highness returned from Western Xinjiang to the East. I don't know why but he was unwilling to show up on various occasions. I thought His Highness was really busy. Yeah." Shi Yafu also smiled sweetly, deliberately holding back Wu Feng. The eldest sister and third sister would be coming soon, and she had to find a chance to talk to him without outsiders no matter what. She was good at observing words and emotions, and she also noticed the ambiguity in Wu Feng's heart from the man's unique light that quietly flashed in the other person's eyes. It seemed that this man was not uninterested in her sisters, which meant that her sisters still had a chance. live.
