I looked up and noticed the gaze falling on me.
When he felt it was funny, he raised the corner of his mouth and flashed a malicious smile. Taking advantage of the gap, he stretched out two fingers to lightly shake the young man's sleeves.
Xie Yi lowered his head and asked with his eyes.
I pointed to my hair and mouthed: "It's crooked."
Xie Yi understood, and while no one was paying attention, he lowered his head and silently straightened my bun.
Yun Yue's handkerchief was twisted tighter, and I laughed even harder.
Feeling the mood swings of the woman in front of him, Xie Yi looked over with searching eyes. I shook my head, indicating that it was okay.
"Sir General." A fat man in the distance approached with a smile. Judging from his attire, he should be the prefect.
"Your Excellency can come here, and the humble abode will really be resplendent."
"You're welcome, Lord Prefect."
"Quick, please come in." At this time, the prefect also noticed me following him, his eyes froze, and he asked cautiously: "I wonder who this girl is?"
"Axuan, come here. This is my——"
"The little girl was killed on the way to find her relatives. Fortunately, the general saved her and saved her life." I answered before him.
How can I be able to use my identity as a young lady from Tai Tu's Mansion?
Xie Yi "understood" that Ah Xuan's identity should not be exposed, otherwise a girl's family would be damaged by coming to the border alone.
It was because he had not considered it properly, but he had wronged her after all.
"The general is kind-hearted and treats the little girl with courtesy. I heard that there was a banquet in the prefecture today, so the general brought me to see her."
"Oh, that's it." The prefect finally felt relieved after hearing that my life experience was ordinary. I feel a little more confident.
If we can take this opportunity to bring General Xie and his daughter together, it might as well be a good thing. I might be able to follow my identity and get better in the future.
When I heard what my daughter said before, I thought this woman was some kind of saint, but now it seems that she is just a person who cannot be put on the stage. Things that were originally difficult suddenly became much smoother.
Those who had the same idea as him were the mother and daughter of the Yun Mansion standing one after another behind him.
The three of them had different expressions. Yun Yue was younger after all, so she couldn't help but cast a disdainful look at the other side.
Mrs. Yun seemed to be more enthusiastic. With a roll of her eyes, she enthusiastically put her arm on my arm and personally led me to the front hall. The service is polite and courteous
Seeing that the person was being taken away, Xie Yi felt depressed for a while, but he didn't say anything and went to the men's table with the prefect politely.
A few people were chatting and laughing, except for my place, which seemed particularly deserted and empty.
There were quite a few talkative and curious ones, pointing at me and muttering secretly. Seeing that I ignored him, he decided that I was weak and could be bullied.
Then his voice became more bold and bold.
Yun Yue, who was surrounded by everyone, raised a satisfied smile when she saw this, but unexpectedly she never saw the slightest look of embarrassment on my face. I was secretly angry.
"Let's see how long you can keep pretending." In any case, she felt angry when she saw General Xie taking more care of this shameless bitch yesterday. If she didn't take the opportunity to attack now, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in her heart.
Yun Yue turned her attention to the running banquet that had been set up before the banquet. The waiter had not yet had time to take away the utensils.
In fact, everyone is as good as Yun Yue, who can only recite a few sour poems. How can they play Fei Hua Ling, which is only played by ladies from famous families? It is just arty.
At this moment, she suddenly had a plan in mind. He walked past the chattering ladies in the hall and walked towards me. He raised his voice:
"This sister." She pretended to smile warmly at me,
"General Suwen has a very high reputation for talent. My sister is following the general. Now I have caught the general's eye. I think he is as talented as anyone else."
Everyone looked over immediately after hearing this, all looking in my direction. Hearing that it was the girl brought by General Xie himself, jealousy flashed in his eyes.
My heart skipped a beat. It seems that this person is quite popular at the border. It can be said that these little girls know the goods. I secretly found it novel, but I was not annoyed by their rudeness and the malice in their eyes.
However, looking at the flower cards that the servants had ordered to place neatly in front of the hall, I knew what this little girl wanted at the first glance.
I find it funny in my heart that these girls are doing the same tricks all day long, why can't they change their tricks?
Seeing that I didn't react when I looked at the flower cards, Yun Yue and others became more convinced that I had never seen these things before, and their disdain in their hearts became even greater. Naturally, I took it for granted that my daughter, who was born into a "poor man", was just something that could not be put on the stage. How could I possibly be able to write these poems that only young ladies in the world could do.
She felt reassured. He confidently raised his voice to challenge, and even pretended to be kind and introduced to me: "This is called Feihua Ling. It's just a trick played by little girls. Sister, you might as well give it a try."
Hearing this, some ladies couldn't restrain the expressions on their faces and began to gloat, waiting to see the joke.
Someone else took the opportunity to come forward and flatter Yun Yue and said, "Sister Yun is both talented and beautiful. This..." She glanced at the pale-faced person with disgust, "How can you compare with Sister Yun?" , isn’t this asking for trouble?”
Yun Yue became even more arrogant after hearing this, but said deliberately on her face: "Sister, please don't say that. Maybe this girl has been sitting there without saying a word because she doesn't like our tricks and is hiding her secrets."
I nodded, thinking to myself, I really look down on your petty quarrels that don’t deserve to be put on the stage.
"What do you think, sister?" Seeing my calm and unmoving expression, I didn't seem to be aroused by their words at all. Yun Yue also felt a little unsure.
To be honest, if the other party really didn't accept the move, she couldn't do anything. After all, it was the general who brought him. If her father found out what she had done to that person, I'm afraid she would be the one who would suffer.
Besides, she couldn't be sure of the general's intentions. If she went too far, she would be criticized today. At this time, we can only let it go. So it's best to let the other party take the initiative.
In this way, she lost face and it was because she was overestimating her abilities.
During the stalemate, Yun Yue heard the other party suddenly relax.
"Okay, I just don't know how Miss Yun wants to compare?"
Yun Yue breathed a sigh of relief, not realizing that her emotions and the movements of things were being carried away by the person in front of her.
How to compare? She had to think about it. Then he pretended to be kind and said: "If not, let's play Fei Hua Ling. The rules are also very simple. Sister just needs to recite five poems with related words based on the words drawn. Does this lady understand?"
People around me gradually gathered around, seeming to be waiting for me to make a fool of myself.
I pretended to be embarrassed, but I couldn't refuse, so I bit my lip, then showed my "embarrassment", and said helplessly: "In that case, if Miss Yun is competing with me, let's talk about the winnings first. "
