In fact, for so long, officials' daughters have been inviting Mingyue to travel, enjoy flowers, and have banquets, but she has always rejected them.
This time Mingyue finally agreed to go to the appointment. Although she said she would pick the location, she also made a group of wealthy ladies extremely happy, and they all wanted to come and watch the fun.
As everyone knows, Mingyue found them for a reason, and this location was chosen for a reason.
As soon as a group of wealthy ladies took their seats, someone jumped out to cause trouble.
"Yun Mingyue, you finally stop hiding in the Prime Minister's Mansion. By the way, I heard that you have fallen in love with a poor scholar recently? No way, even that kind of poor scholar with no power will make you Yun Da Are you tempted?" The person who spoke was Feng Lingling, the only daughter of General Dingyuan, with a tone of contempt and sarcasm.
It's probably an irreconcilable conflict between literati and military generals. The relationship between General Dingyuan and Prime Minister Yun is not good, and Feng Lingling and Yun Mingyue are as incompatible as fire and water. There are no major problems, just tit-for-tat confrontation between the daughters' families. That’s all.
"Ling Ling, you went out to burn incense a few days ago. Didn't you know that Miss Yun also brought that poor scholar's sister to Miss Rong's flower viewing party? That girl was so rude and made Miss Rong so angry. I can’t even calm down now.” Miss Zhou covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then continued: “This is a lot of fun.”
Miss Qi next to her covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "Isn't that right? I was also there at the time and saw with my own eyes that girl scolding Rong Mi for nothing. She also said that her brother and Yun, ahem, have a close relationship. Who dares? Touch her? She is really domineering!"
Feng Lingling opened her mouth and made an exaggerated sign of surprise: "Yun Mingyue, you are really promising! How can a brother with a sister like this be a good man?"
This statement really makes sense. It is difficult to produce good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo...
In fact, according to the original owner's social circle, as well as her three talented brothers, there were originally many young ladies on her side.
It's just that someone had spoken for the original owner before and privately advised the original owner to stay away from the Liu family. Then the original owner with a love brain mistakenly thought that the other party didn't want to see her well. Not only did she reprimand the other party, but she also stayed away from them.
So now, Mingyue is being ridiculed openly and covertly by several young ladies, while the others just treat her as a bystander, neither participating in making a fuss, nor saying anything offensive.
But Mingyue invited them here today, not just to be scolded in vain.
Mingyue raised her eyelids and finally spoke: "Okay, okay, I'm here to invite you to watch the show today, not to sing in the show. Please rest!"
Her nonchalant look made the other ladies a little embarrassed, as if they were making a fuss out of a molehill.
Feng Lingling rolled her eyes: "Don't change the subject. What show are you watching? Who dares to sing at the gate of Gongyuan?"
Mingyue, who was sitting by the window, saw the candidates starting to come out of the Gongyuan, and the corners of her mouth instantly curled up.
She pursed her lips and said, "Well, the fun is about to begin."
Her appearance also aroused the curiosity of other girls. A group of people didn't care about anything else for the moment. They all crowded in the two large windows of the private room and looked downstairs.
I saw people everywhere downstairs and it was noisy. How could there be any opera singers
Liu Cuier and the others downstairs did not wait for Liu Ce, but first waited for the Liu family couple and Liu Xiaolian.
For a moment, both parties were surprised and surprised.
"The third aunt, the third aunt,...the fourth aunt, and sister-in-law Cui'er, why are you here in Huaijing?" After Liu Xiaolian asked, she rubbed her eyes blankly, not believing that this was true. "What a coincidence. We just said we would come to see A Ce, and we bumped into you."
"Oh, we have been here for a few days. You don't know that we are now working in a noble family. Not to mention how relaxed and leisurely it is back then, we are paid several ounces of money a month."
"That's right, where are you now? Are you relaxed at home? If it doesn't work, come and work with us. Oh, by the way, I forgot, you even sold the land, so you must have money on hand. ”
On the surface, the women were just chatting, but in fact they were showing off with some pride. Why did the Liu family speak so unpleasantly when they were picked up? Why did their son pick them up to go to the city? Some people have worked hard all their lives. I haven't seen anything like it at the gate of Huaijing City.
The Liu family and his wife looked very ugly, but they forced themselves to smile and said with a straight face how good their life was and how much money they had at home.
Liu Cuier said hello to the Liu family and his wife, then took Liu Xiaolian to one side to whisper.
Liu Xiaolian was a careless person, and she almost let slip a few words, "How can that woman Yun Mingyue be better than you, sister-in-law Cui'er?" She immediately caught Liu Cui'er's attention.
But before they could say anything more, Liu Ce floated out of the tribute courtyard like a zombie with a haggard face.
Someone immediately greeted over there: "Tui'er, A Ce is out."
Liu Cuier had no choice but to suppress her suspicions for the time being, and first went to help Liu Ce, who didn't seem right.
Liu Ce only woke up when he saw Liu Cuier. The Shenzhen exam was over. He was surprised by her appearance, but also looked around with a guilty conscience.
At this time, the bright moon upstairs pointed at the loving couple and said with a smile: "Well, this is the big show I invite you to watch today."
"Yun Mingyue, are you crazy? What does the love between husband and wife have to do with us? Do we need to come here to see it?" Feng Lingling looked at the couple downstairs in disbelief, then looked at Mingyue and asked.
Mingyue placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table, and her tone suddenly became much more serious: "Then I want to ask you? Since you all know that Liu Ce has a wife, and he is very affectionate with his wife, Why do you always assign this person to me?”
At this time, everyone realized that the examinee downstairs who was holding the woman's hand and squeezing it, and smiling like a fool, turned out to be Yun Mingyue's sweetheart Liu Ce according to rumors.
Miss Qi looked at the few people following them. Sure enough, there was the little girl that Yun Mingyue had brought to Rong Mansion, and she nodded to Feng Lingling calmly.
This time, Feng Lingling and others were in trouble. After all, no one expected that Liu Ce was actually married.
Everyone knows that it is impossible for Miss Yun to fall in love with a poor scholar who is married.
This is also Mingyue's purpose. She wants to clear up the scandal that the original owner likes Liu Ce in the circle. Although it is true, the Yun family's reputation is more important.
