Although this behavior is despicable, his brother is a pioneer after all, and he has made great contributions in Zhaotong with His Highness. There is no need to tear his face and embarrass others and make enemies.
Miss Yang San lowered her head thoughtfully, drooped her eyelashes, and her face was frosty.
The other ladies also found out the origins of this county lady, and were immediately surprised. However, most of them had a similar mentality to Councillor Yang's wife, that this county lady was out of place and must be heading for the prince.
I don't want to pay attention to her, but there's no need to offend her.
Everyone started laughing, and when Mrs. Ji welcomed people in, everyone greeted Su Yao in a friendly manner.
Madam Liao waved to Su Yao and asked him to sit next to her. She then said softly, "I didn't wait for the county lady, and several ladies from the Ji family were waiting. I didn't want to keep them waiting for too long, so I came here first."
She didn't want Su Yao to think that she didn't consider her.
Su Yao naturally understood and said with a smile: "I just talked to my brother for a while, and I have always been willful, so I wanted to go outside to see the lake in Qin Garden, so I followed my brother and others. If the lady waited for me, I would feel bad."
As she spoke, she looked around at the female members sitting around. She had greeted them all just now, so she already had some impressions of a few important people.
Don't underestimate the female members of the family. They also know a lot of things in the rear house. At least, they can tell their husbands' attitudes from themselves.
She is looking at others and others are looking at her.
Miss Yang San's eyes swept over her, she pursed her lips unconsciously, lowered her head and snorted angrily: "Fox charmer!"
She had to travel thousands of miles from the capital to Yunnan to chase after this county lady. She originally thought that this county lady must be too ugly to be seen in public, but she didn't expect that at first glance, this county lady was not ugly at all? Not only was she not ugly, she was also very beautiful, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. In the crowd, the first person you saw would definitely be her.
Miss Yang San felt upset when she thought about such a beautiful county lady following His Highness all the way.
Mrs. Ji, however, liked this county lady very much, even though she had only said a few words. But Mrs. Ji was the daughter of a wealthy family, and she knew how to maneuver and read people's expressions. This county lady was just as Mrs. Liao had said, not a nosy person.
Mrs. Ji was very happy, especially since Su Yao treated her and other ladies of the gentry with courtesy and had no intention of looking down on them. She smiled tentatively and said, "We have never been far away. I envy the county lady for having seen the world all the way."
Her intention to make friends was very obvious, and Su Yao also smiled and said, "Madam, you are joking. My brother originally planned to send me back to my elders' home, but something happened on the way. My brother was worried, so he took me with him. If you say I have seen the world, I have not seen much."
That means, she is really an ordinary little girl, but Su Rong dotes on this sister too much, so he keeps her close to him
Really... ..
Everyone had their own thoughts, but they all smiled: "It can be seen that the county lady has a destiny with us. Otherwise, how could such a noble person as the county lady come here?"
Most of the wives of the gentry liked Su Yao very much. Apart from other things, this county lady had a good background! She was the cousin of the uncle and was brought by his side, which showed that she was very favored. With such a noble lady's status, when she came to Yunnan, although it was unlikely that she would look down on the gentry's family, but... ..Originally, the county lady would not have followed the imperial envoy team to Yunnan, right
In comparison, the wives of officials have more subtle thoughts. They don't like noble ladies who are rebellious.
After talking for a while, bursts of music suddenly sounded outside, and someone exclaimed in surprise: "Is it Master Zhuo playing the piano?"
Lady Zhuo was once the top performer in the Imperial Music Bureau. She was an expert in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Later, she redeemed herself but never married. She became a teacher for the girls in the Ji family. Ordinary people could never invite her. It was only because the prince came today that the Ji family would not have allowed Lady Zhuo to perform.
One can see outside from the open pavilion. Now that the windows on all four sides have been removed, everyone can see a full moon hanging high in the sky on the platform across the river. A beautiful woman is playing the zither with her back to the moon. She has an elegant posture and a graceful manner.
Mrs. Liao couldn't help but clap her hands and exclaim: "This song really should only exist in heaven."
If people want to achieve their goals, they must pay a price.
For example, if the Ji family wants to make friends with His Highness, they naturally have to please him.
Now it seems that the Ji family is indeed willing to do so.
The Zhuo family is not an ordinary family. It is said that King Zhuang once wanted to hire the Zhuo family as his concubine, but the Zhuo family resolutely refused.
Although Lady Zhuo is indeed older than the Crown Prince, age is not that important when it comes to stunning beauties.
Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Liao heard a collective gasp from all around. Following the gaze of the crowd, she saw a handsome, tall and straight pine-like figure climbing up the steps under the moonlight and walking onto the high platform.
Under the full moon, this man's posture is truly majestic and outstanding, like a crane standing out among chickens.
"Is that the Crown Prince?" Miss Yang San heard the admirations and exclamations of the young ladies around her, and she couldn't help but look at him in a daze - so this is what the Crown Prince looks like.
Then Miss Yang San couldn't help but get angry. The Ji family was too unrefined. It was only the first day that the prince came to Yunnan, and the Ji family couldn't wait to arrange a beauties for him!
Could it be that His Highness is the kind of person who is blinded by lust
Su Yao's gaze also stopped on the high platform. It must be said that there was nothing wrong with the garden built by the Ji family. It was almost perfect. Now under the moonlight, there were green pines trimmed in a very artistic way planted on the high platform. The breeze blew, the pine waves rippled, and the beautiful women and scenery were pleasing to the eye.
But this great man...
At first, Mrs. Ji followed everyone else in watching the scene in front of her, but as she watched, she suddenly stood up and looked at the scene on the platform with a changed expression.
Afterwards, Mrs. Ji didn't care about anything else. She walked out of the pavilion quickly, looking anxious and saying something to the maid.
Everyone present was looking ahead and didn't notice, but Su Yao saw it clearly. She raised her eyebrows and saw Zhuo Dajia on the high platform stood up, then walked a few steps towards the figure like the breeze and bright moon, suddenly staggered, and fell into that person's arms.
Under the moonlight, with the beauty in his arms, the ladies in the pavilion tacitly turned their eyes away.
