Chapter 1299, Ji Lanxin’s Difficulties
Ji Lanxin was overwhelmed by Gongsun Ranran. She endured the resentment in her heart and still focused her attention on Chu Youwei.
In her opinion, if she wanted to deal with Gongsun Ranran, her old enemy, she would not be able to gain much advantage in the short term.
But it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with a little person like Chu Youwei who doesn't have much status.
The resentment in his heart is not angry, and he urgently needs to vent his anger through the latter's embarrassment.
At this time, Chu Youwei looked at the guests coming forward to congratulate one after another. Hearing the valuable gifts being presented one by one, Chu Youwei couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
The guests before her were either equal to or lower than the Chu family in terms of power and status, but the most common gifts they prepared were close to the level of land products, and most of them were above the level of land products.
In comparison, the hairpin in her hand couldn't help but look a bit shabby. Not only was it of poor quality, but the box it contained was just an ordinary little brocade box the size of a palm.
In the current situation, there is absolutely no way to take action.
"Sister Weiwei? What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaowan noticed Chu Youwei's embarrassment and expressed concern.
Lu Feng lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something wrong with the gift?"
Regarding the gift, he asked Chu Youwei on the day he was invited. The latter said that the Chu family would arrange it, so he didn't pay too much attention.
At the moment, from Chu Youwei's embarrassment and Ji Lan's teasing look in the distance, it was not difficult to guess that something might have happened to the gift.
Chu Youwei said bitterly: "The gift the master of the family prepared for me was just an ordinary hairpin, and my grade barely reached the level of the Five Elements Realm."
Lu Feng glanced at the long wooden box that Chu Youwei held tightly in his hand, and was about to speak when he saw Ji Lanxin's figure approaching again.
Seeing this, Chu Youwei subconsciously stretched her hand holding the wooden box behind her back.
Lu Feng took the wooden box down smoothly.
Ji Lanxin said jokingly to Chu Youwei: "Why are you still standing here? Don't you want to congratulate Mrs. Qin?"
Chu Youwei held up her face and pretended to be calm: "Why are you so anxious? There are so many guests ahead."
"Ha~" Ji Lan said with a smile in her heart: "You are here on behalf of the Chu family. You must have prepared a lot of gifts, right? Later, everyone will open their eyes and see the prestige of your Chu family. "
When Chu Youwei heard this, her face became even more embarrassed, and she said dissatisfiedly: "The congratulatory gift is just a thoughtful gesture."
Ji Lanxin couldn't help but smile even more proudly after hearing this. Judging from Chu Youwei's posture, she could tell that the gift prepared by the latter must be something ordinary and unfashionable.
Watching the children of the Pan family, Sima family and many other aristocratic families complete their congratulations one after another.
Ji Lan urged with a sneer in her heart: "How long do you have to wait? Such an attitude is not a good intention."
At this time, a woman approached with a cold face and said to Chu Youwei: "If you are too embarrassed to come forward, it will be the same if you ask the boy from the Lin family you brought to come forward."
Ji Lanxin was immediately angry when she heard this. Her purpose was to embarrass Chu Youwei and she was not willing to change people. However, when she saw that the person who came was the concubine of the head of the Wu family, she thought of the grudges between the Wu family and Lin Bairu of the Lin family. She couldn't help but understand that the woman was targeting 'Lin Liyun's intention.
At that moment, he added: "Since you two are here together, you seem to have the intention of announcing that you will be husband and wife. You might as well go there together. It is also so that everyone can get to know Miss Chu and her husband."
The wife of the Wu family snorted sarcastically: "I thought that the Lin family was considered a prestigious family back then, but I didn't expect that future generations would be reduced to being a surrogate son-in-law."
Lu Feng had a gloomy face and said nothing, with a slight sweat on his forehead.
Although Lin Xiaowan was very angry, she couldn't find anything to say back. She was just curious about why her brother, who was so eloquent before, suddenly became silent now.
During the stalemate, Lu Feng suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go and congratulate you."
After signaling, he took Chu Youwei and walked towards Yu Ruyan.
Lin Xiaowan was surprised and quickly followed.
He went over and said in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on? Taking out that hosta will only make us more embarrassed."
Chu Youwei was also surprised, "Did you replace it with another gift? It's not worth spending your own resources."
The two were stunned when they saw that Lu Feng still handed over the brocade box from before.
Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan's hearts suddenly thumped, thinking that they would inevitably be embarrassed. They would be ridiculed for giving such a precious gift as congratulations to ordinary aristocratic families, but the Chu family, who has a strong family background, only presented such a low-grade thing... …
Thinking of Ji Lanxin and others about to grin and laugh, Chu Youwei once considered whether to hide her face and leave.
But Lu Feng's steady and calm voice was heard: "Lin family Lin Liyun, with..."
Chu Youwei trembled coldly, and quickly said: "I have prepared a small gift, but please don't take it too seriously. I wish the second wife of Qin Chunqi, Xia'an, Qiu Sui and Winter Jubilee."
The moment he finished speaking, he wanted to pull Lu Feng and Lin Xiaowan away from this embarrassing place as soon as possible.
However, he was intercepted by Ji Lanxin at an inappropriate time.
"Are you leaving now?" Ji Lanxin asked jokingly with a playful smile on her face, "Aren't you going to show everyone the so-called small gifts?"
Chu Youwei's face froze.
Yu Ruyan, on the other hand, had a stern look on her face. This was the first time she had encountered such unruly behavior as the guests wanted to see the gifts before the host had spoken, and she immediately became even more dissatisfied with Ji Lanxin's behavior. .
Gongsun Ranran, who was standing next to him, saw this and felt happy, "Miss Ji, do you really think of yourself as a member of the Qin family? Brother Qin hasn't spoken yet, so it's your turn to speak out."
Qin Tianliang's face was also a little gloomy at this time. The congratulatory gift presented by Lu Feng was placed in front of him. If he complied with Ji Lan's wish, opening it would bring disgrace to the Qin family.
Ji Lanxin was completely unaware of this. When she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help but feel a little confused, and was in an awkward dilemma.
But Lu Feng's calm words suddenly sounded: "Since the Qin family has this rule, Miss Ji can look at it as she wants, but it is just a hairpin, and it is nothing compared to the jade Ruyi made from uncut jade. "
"High quality hairpin?" Ji Lan was shocked.
Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan were also shocked, with ups and downs in their hearts.
'Local hairpin? ,
'It's obviously an unfashionable hairpin with impurities? ,
'Did he really replace it secretly? ,
Qin Tianliang and Yu Ruyan watched Lu Feng slowly open the brocade box, but their thoughts were not on the gift at all, but on Lu Feng's understatement of "Qin family rules."
The Qin family, which has always attached great importance to family tradition, will lose its reputation greatly if they are subject to such rules. The subsequent gifts prepared by the guests, no matter whether they are good or bad, will be presented with a hint of embarrassment. It's better to have a grudge against the Qin family because of this.
But at the moment when Ji Lanxin took control of the situation, they did not stop it in time. At this moment, the guests were forced to open the gifts. Trying to explain was a bit artificial. The guests watching around them all undoubtedly listened to Lu Feng's words. Go in.
This made Deyu Ruyan never like Ji Lanxin's attitude, secretly rising to the level of disgust.
Gongsun Ranran was not too surprised and said: "It's really a high-quality hairpin. Miss Chu and Mr. Lin are really serious about it. In the world of soul masters, there are not many such rare materials. There are not many high-quality hairpins on the market." There are even fewer of them."
"How is this possible?" Ji Lanxin's eyes widened and she questioned: "One of you is an unpopular young lady of the Chu family, and the other is a young master of a failed family. How could you possibly get such a rare object?"
"That's enough!" Qin Tianliang scolded with dissatisfaction. With his eyesight, he could clearly see the quality of the hairpin in front of him. Because of this, the Qin family's invisible face was really lost.
At this time, Yu Ruyan turned around and looked at the hairpin in the brocade box. She saw that its whole body was white and clean, faintly covered with a layer of faint green Qinghua. There was no trace of impurities in the circulation of the spirit, and it was pure and pure. Tong Yudu is even worse.
Looking at the hairpin, I couldn't help but touch it with my hand, feeling the icy yet warm touch.
Feeling so moved, I couldn't help but lose my voice: "Such a hairpin is also an excellent existence at the level of earth quality. Even in my Qin family's Wanbao Tower, it is not common."
"Miss Chu is really thoughtful."
From Yu Ruyan's point of view, it seems that only Chu Youwei might be able to get such a valuable thing. It is impossible for the Lin family to give it generously. Maybe Chu Youwei took it out of the dowry just to save face.
But when his eyes glanced at Chu Youwei's face, he saw the latter's look of surprise and shock...
'Is not it? ,
This made Deyu Ruyan couldn't help but feel doubtful, and she took another look at Lin Liyun.
Lu Feng's voice sounded with a hint of coldness: "Miss Ji, are you still stopping us here?"
Qin Tianliang said with a cold face: "Lan Xin, you also come to the table."
Although the words did not express much rebuke, Ji Lan's heart suddenly tightened upon hearing it.
In the past, Qin Tianliang rarely called her "Lan Xin" directly. This may sound familiar to others, but to her, it is more unfamiliar than "Sister Lan". .
Furthermore, Qin Tianliang only asked her to sit down at the table, but did not ask Gongsun Ranran to leave. This made the gloom and gap in her heart even more intense.
In anger, his eyes accidentally glanced at a figure appearing at the door in the distance.
'Second Young Master Luo? ,
Thinking of the grievances between Luo Tianfu and Chu Youwei, and seeing the intimate gesture of Chu Youwei joining hands with Lu Feng.
Ji Lanxin raised a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth and said to herself: "I can't deal with you, but there are many people who can deal with you."
When Lu Feng led Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan toward the banquet area, Jun Ziya's figure suddenly appeared outside the garden.
For this reason, even Luo Tianfu stepped out of the way with some respect.
Lu Feng also deliberately slowed down the pace of sitting down, a little curious about the purpose of Jun Ziya's appearance.
It can also be seen from the unexpected reactions of the guests present that Jun Ziya obviously rarely attends such occasions.
'Did you come here to reveal your identity? ,
Lu Feng suddenly became nervous.
