The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times
Chapter 113 Another Banquet (2)
As soon as Xia Mianwan finished speaking, everyone fell silent and looked at each other.
Feng Yingying's face was extremely ugly, and her lips were trembling due to Xia Mianwan's anger.
"How dare you slander Lord Pei?" Feng Yingying's voice was not loud, and she spoke without thinking. How could Xia Mianwan lie about such a thing?
Seeing her concubine's daughter making such a fuss, Madam Feng hurried forward and said, "Stop talking nonsense and come with me."
Xia Mianwan just smiled and said nothing more.
The fire has been started. I think Mrs. Feng will know what happened in the garden soon.
After a brief silence, everyone in the garden returned to their previous familiar atmosphere and started strolling around.
Xia Mianwan found a desk and sat down.
At this time, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a goose yellow dress, came forward to chat with Xia Mianwan.
"Hello, Madam Xia, I am the third daughter of the Song family, my name is Song Yanyu." The third daughter of the Song family said with a smile.
Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "Well, hello."
"Can I call you Sister Xia?" Miss Song San looked innocent.
Xia Mianwan was stunned for a while, then shook her head and said, "Well, it's not quite appropriate. On this occasion today, you should just call me Lady Xia."
Song Yanyu looked angry, "Sister Xia, don't listen to their nonsense. What's wrong with divorce? What's wrong with having a child? This is not a big deal!"
"Don't be sad... Don't underestimate yourself!" Seeing that Xia Mianwan's expression did not change, Song Yanyu's voice became smaller and smaller.
"I won't belittle myself. You are the only one saying that now." This kind of scheming is really not acceptable. Saying that these people are noble ladies from Yanzhou... Xia Mianwan was really worried about Pei Yanxu.
No wonder he is still unmarried at such an age in such an environment in ancient times.
If I marry these girls home, I will be in trouble. Not only will I not be able to be a loyal minister, I might even lose the reputation of being a mediocre minister.
Seeing that Xia Mianwan had no intention of joining in the conversation, Song Yanyu did not get angry and started a new conversation: "Sister Xia..."
Xia Mianwan frowned slightly and said, "Call me Madam Xia. If I call you sister, I'm afraid your mother will be unhappy."
Song Yanyu said dejectedly: "Okay."
However, this depression was short-lived. Soon, Song Yanyu raised her head and asked coquettishly, "Madam Xia, I heard that you are running a wine shop. 'Gu Meng' is the wine sold in your wine shop. You are really amazing. I admire you!"
"Thank you."
Seeing that Xia Mianwan was still indifferent, Song Yanyu's brows revealed a fleeting displeasure, which Xia Mianwan caught. Xia Mianwan also had experience in being a green tea.
"Madam Xia, why didn't you bring your two children?" Song Yanyu looked innocent.
Xia Mianwan covered her mouth and laughed, "You are an unmarried girl, how do you know so much? You must have heard a lot of gossip every day, right? I heard that the ladies of noble families have a nanny watching them every day. When I was at my parents' home, I also had two nannies. They never allowed me to listen to other people's gossip..."
Isn't this clearly saying that Song Yanyu is uneducated?
Seeing that there were ladies and young ladies around who were laughing secretly, Song Yanyu couldn't help but feel a little angry. She muttered in her heart that Xia Mianwan was too unbecoming and didn't look like a former general's wife at all.
Just as she was about to retort, the host came over cheerfully with two rows of maids.
What a show!
Xia Mianwan said in his heart.
Everyone looked over there, and Mrs. Pei greeted everyone with a smile.
Mrs. Pei should have arrived a long time ago, but after Madam Xu found out about the incident in the garden, she told Mrs. Pei about it, which is why Mrs. Pei arrived late.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!" Mrs. Pei smiled happily.
Mrs. Pei's dress was not particularly luxurious and elegant, and she had a good temperament, but she did not look like a nouveau riche.
Nanny Xu whispered to Mrs. Pei about Xia Mianwan's location. Mrs. Pei glanced at her indifferently and nodded to Nanny Xu, indicating that she knew.
There was actually nothing new about the banquet, as everyone was only interested in other things.
However, they are all prominent figures in Yanzhou, so there will be no mistakes in the process.
"I heard that Miss Song San has learned the zither from a famous master since she was young. I wonder if we can hear it today?" A lady present, who was dressed elegantly, asked with a smile.
The lady's surname is Huang, and she was invited by Mrs. Pei to act as a supporting actor.
Xia Mianwan naturally guessed the connection between these two. Could Mrs. Pei's behavior teach someone as capable as Pei Yanxu? She was a little curious about this, so she looked up at the main seat, and who knew that she would meet Mrs. Pei's eyes.
Xia Mianwan was slightly stunned, but Mrs. Pei smiled a little.
interesting!
"Then I will show you my ugliness." Song Yanyu stood up and walked to the center.
At this time, the guzheng was also set up.
When Song Yanyu saw the zither, she was slightly surprised and said, "It's Feng Lai!"
Phoenix coming?
Most of the ladies present were knowledgeable and knew that the "Feng Lai" was a peerless ancient guqin that had been famous all over the world in the early years. The guqin that the Pei family casually took out to play for the guests turned out to be such a top-notch instrument as the "Feng Lai".
The amazement in everyone's hearts increased, and their eyes became much hotter.
Mrs. Pei naturally noticed everyone's gazes, but pretended not to know.
Song Yanyu was a little excited. After calming down for a while, she moved her fingers and began to play the piano.
The sound of the zither was melodious and exciting, but Xia Mianwan didn’t quite understand it. Her evaluation of ancient music was only good or bad…
After Song Yanyu finished her song, she received applause from the whole audience. She was very proud of herself. Suddenly, she looked at Xia Mianwan and smiled softly, "Madam Xia, please give your comments?"
At this moment, everyone in the room looked over, even Mrs. Pei, who was sitting in the main seat, looked over.
Xia Mianwan gently picked up the teacup, took a sip and said with a smile: "Not bad, it sounds good."
Everyone: "..."
Just like that... it's gone?
Song Yanyu laughed secretly, knowing that this woman had no taste. "Madam Xia, is this all you have to say? How can you call it a review?"
Xia Mianwan was surprised and asked, "Why, do you still feel it's not good enough? Miss Song San, there's really no need to be so modest."
Song Yanyu said: "I just want to discuss this with Madam Xia?"
"Discuss? Everyone has their own feelings about music. The same piece of music may sound exciting to ordinary people, but it is fun for a young lady from an official family like you. The highbrows and the lowbrows hear different things. If you don't say it's nice, I'm afraid I won't understand it even if I discuss it with you for an entire afternoon."
Song Yanyu felt stabbed in the back and felt a little embarrassed.
The ladies at the table gave Xia Mianwan a high glance, but had a bad impression of Song Yanyu.
This piano...is played in vain.
