The same was true for the female relatives. After hearing the introduction from the magistrate's wife, Jian Yu was showered with compliments. After the disguise, Jian Yu looked extremely ordinary. Even so, she was praised by all the ladies as if she was a fairy. .
The Qingzhou accent has a slight inflection at the end, which sounds more like coquettishness, and is more playful than the soft-spoken whispers from Jiangnan.
Jian Yu was so praised that she felt dizzy. Even though she knew it was flattery, who doesn't like being praised?
She did not respond one by one, but had a shy smile on her face. She seemed to have a soft-spoken personality, which made the ladies who spoke smile even more.
Really good at pretending! The prefect's wife cursed in her heart, she couldn't stand Jian Yu's current behavior.
Just when she couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, the prefect's wife noticed that Jian Yu was looking at her. She understood the meaning of this look: they were a little annoyed.
"Okay, okay, everyone, I feel embarrassed to praise my aunt."
The prefect’s wife quickly came to the rescue.
There's nothing she can do, she's afraid! If the table was suddenly turned over, it would ruin his birthday party.
Others saw that the aunt only glanced at the prefect's wife, and the prefect's wife immediately responded knowingly, indicating that the aunt was the dominant one in the relationship between the two.
Didn't the prefect's wife dare to change the subject before my aunt expressed her opinion?
The ladies who came to attend the birthday banquet were very discerning, and their respect for Jian Yu increased.
Jian Yu was very satisfied with this situation. If she asked about things in the name of chatting later, these people would not dare to fool her, and they would even rush to chat.
The prefect's wife thought she was smart and suppressed Jian Yu to keep her from making trouble. Little did she know that she became a pawn and helped Jian Yu complete the process of establishing her power.
The troupe will not perform for half an hour, and while the opera and the dancers are performing, the lunch banquet can begin.
The prefect’s wife specially chose the largest open space in the backyard - next to the rockery. Last night, she asked the boys to place a lot of potted flowers and transplant a few fruit trees overnight. In addition, there was originally a lotus pond, and the overall scenery was quite pleasant.
Before the banquet started, the prefect's wife went back to her room to rest. Some ladies stayed in the room with her. Originally, Jian Yu was supposed to be with her, but she felt bored, so she asked to go out for a walk.
The magistrate’s wife couldn’t ask for more!
The ladies in this room are all the family members of her husband's colleagues. Many of them live in Lincheng and came here specially to participate. The prefect's wife attaches great importance to it and plans to talk more to establish a relationship.
If Jian Yu were here, not only would it be inconvenient for her to talk a lot, but she would also be afraid of causing trouble with her nonsense.
After leaving the room, Jian Yu walked to the pavilion of the lotus pond. The merchants' wives were all sitting here. Due to the utilitarian thinking of the prefect's wife, she wanted to connect with the officials' wives first, so she had no time to talk to these merchants' wives.
It just gave her some time.
"Miss Yu, please sit down quickly."
Jian Yu said her name and asked everyone to call her Miss Yu. After all, the title of aunt was a bit strange.
An Qi was also here. As the daughter of the An family, she was also a star among the merchants' wives. Jian Yu was asked to sit in the middle, right next to An Qi.
"Sister Yu~"
Hearing An Qi's greeting, everyone thought that Miss An Si and the prefect's aunt turned out to be acquaintances!
Judging from Miss Yu's attitude, it was clear that she had no prejudice against businessmen, and the ladies smiled more genuinely.
Jian Yu was very easy-going. She casually asked about the new hairpins or the fabric styles. The ladies knew these things very well, so when explaining Jian Yu's doubts, they talked naturally.
You can tell through each other's delivery channels, which merchants are close to each other and share the same business route, and which merchants have good relationships with each other through conversation.
There was also an octagonal pavilion on the rockery not far from the pavilion. The Lord of Shouxi County stayed there, staring at Jian Yu with a mocking look on his face: "She is worthy of being with these low-level merchant wives! "
According to my aunt's plan, she would deliberately let the maid dirty Miss An Si's clothes at the beginning of the dinner party, and then frame her up while she was changing her clothes!
The tricks don’t have to be old, they just need to be useful.
If soiling the clothes fails, ask the maid to come over and ask An Si to leave. In short, there must be a way to lure her away from the table, and then connect the deceased with An Si, and finally make An Si the murderer!
From here on, it’s all about settling down!
An Si was ruined, and the ladies who heard the news would not want such a daughter-in-law. Qin Lang belongs to her!
That's right, the reason why the Shouxi County Princess keeps targeting An Si is because the person she likes admires An Si!
Qin Lang is the direct grandson of the Qin family of the four great aristocratic families. Such an identity is worthy of her status as the county head. How can a small business girl be qualified? !
What made Shou Xi most angry was that she heard the news that the Qin family had relaxed their attitude under Qin Lang's efforts and might agree!
When Qin Lang comes to propose marriage, the An family will not give a hundred promises! She would never allow this to happen. She couldn't touch the Qin family, but she could touch An Si!
An Qi thought that he had offended the county lord, but he never thought about Qin Lang's level.
These were all investigated by Zhou Jinyan and then told to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu was chatting with the ladies here, and Jian Yu, who knew what was going on, walked with An Zhi in the corridor, admiring the flowers and plants on both sides.
Jian Yu first talked about the issue of her identity, and she briefly explained it in a few words, and An Qi didn't ask any further questions.
In her opinion, it was Sister Yu who helped her out before, but now seeing the respectful attitude of the magistrate's wife, she can rest assured that the Shouxi County Lord will not do anything excessive, and nothing else matters.
Later, Jian Yu mentioned another "party".
"Qin Lang's words, have you made an agreement between you?"
Not long ago, the Qin family was in trouble for a while because Qin Lang wanted to come to An Mansion to propose marriage, and Princess Ting intended to marry her daughter to Qin Lang. When these things were connected, the behavior of the Shouxi County Lord was easy to understand.
Hearing the name Qin Lang, An Qi's eyes were full of confusion.
"Who is Qin Lang?"
Jian Yu was stunned, "You don't know him?"
An Qi shook her head. She had never heard of this name before.
Could it be that Qin Lang changed his identity and met An Qi? It is not easy to ask questions about men and women in a relationship where you have only met two or three times.
"The Qin family, one of the four great families, is in Yizhou, and Qin Lang is the direct grandson of the Qin family..."
Jian Yu told the reason why the Shouxi County Lord targeted her, it was because of the man Qin Lang!
He thought that after introducing the other party's identity clearly, An Qi would remember who Qin Lang was, but the other party's eyes were confused and he asked in confusion: "Is there a misunderstanding?"
She doesn't know Qin Lang at all, and even the people she has come into contact with in recent days have never been close to the young master! Not to mention that he can make the other party fight against family affairs.
Jian Yu was also confused. Judging from An Qi's appearance, she really didn't know. She could tell that he was not acting.
"Did you hear the wrong name?"
An Qi was more inclined to think that the Shouxi County Lord had mistaken the wrong person. Thinking of this, An Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She would just explain it to the Shouxi County Lord when the time comes!
"That's right. Everyone in the Qin family knows that the person Qin Lang is clamoring to marry is An Qi, the fourth girl of the Qingzhou An family."
The An family from Qingzhou, ranked fourth, named An Qi.
These factors are put together, and it is difficult to make a mistake even if the name is the same.
After a moment, An Qi raised her finger and pointed to her temple, and asked quite sincerely, "Young master of the Qin family, is this here..."
An Qi asked tactfully, while Jian Yu received the message straightforwardly - is that man named Qin Lang mentally ill? !
