Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

There are a lot of people here today, all of them are young men and women from aristocratic families, and some noble ladies. Well, if they were not born into a wealthy family, who would have the leisure to go out and play during the busy farming season of March?

The girls sitting there were all dressed gorgeously. Some were wearing the popular ruqun (skirt), while others were wearing the outdated straight or curved skirts. They had pearl hairpins and silk flowers on their heads. At first glance, one could see their heads full of pearls, jade and flowers, like flower elves in spring.

Luo Qin observed silently for a while and found that the girls were sitting in small circles. She saw Luo Jiao from the Luo family among a group of girls, while Xie Si Niang took her to another group of girls.

In this circle, she saw Zheng Liuniang and Wang Qiniang, as well as two familiar faces, Cui Kankan and Yang Yiyi, and other beautiful women, some of whom she had seen during performances at the Flower Festival. Luo Qin immediately understood that this was the social circle of girls from first-class families.

And the group that Luo Jiao is in should be from a second-rate family.

When Luo Qin and Xie Si Niang arrived, all the girls in the circle looked over and their eyes were fixed on Luo Qin.

A girl holding a round fan looked at Luo Qin and said, "Is this our flower god this year?"

"Sister Arong has good taste," Xie Si Niang quickly introduced to Luo Qin, "This is Huan Arong, a girl from the Huan family of Pei State."

After Xie Si Niang said this, Luo Qin knew that she was the daughter of Huan and the fifth in the order.

"Greetings to Madam Huan Wu." Luo Qin bowed gently and said to the ladies, "Aqin greets the ladies."

At this time, a dozen girls just looked at her silently, some even glanced at her, and no one spoke.

Yang Yiyi watched with gloating pleasure as Luo Qin was embarrassed, while Cui Kankan just stared quietly ahead, not looking away, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this, Xie Si Niang was about to say something, but at this moment, a pale-faced girl on the seat coughed lightly, holding an embroidered handkerchief in one hand, and said, "Miss Luo is too polite."

Her voice is as light as a cloud, so soft that it couldn't be softer, gently brushing across the soul.

For a moment, everyone turned their eyes to look at the girl.

This girl was about the same age as Luo Qin, and she looked very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

Her skin was extremely pale, revealing a kind of morbid beauty, her slender eyebrows were frowned, her big eyes were misty, but her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and weakness, her lips were lightly pursed and bloodless, which made people want to protect her.

Despite her frail body, her facial features were extremely delicate, as if she were a carefully crafted work of art. Coupled with her pure white half-sleeved wide-sleeved jacket embroidered with silver thread peach blossom patterns, she exuded an innate elegance and gentleness.

Luo Qin’s first impression was that this might be Lin Daiyu’s reincarnation.

Among the noble ladies in Jiankang, only Wang Wulang’s sister Wang Aijing was like this.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Si Niang said, "Cousin Luo, this is Wang Wulang's sister, Madam Wang Jiu."

Luo Qin turned to look at her, bowed and said: "Thank you, Madam Wang Jiu."

"Miss Luo, you are so polite. Please take a seat." Wang Aijing said.

Luo Qin and Xie Si Niang pulled up their skirts and knelt down on the stool.

Seeing the people around them looking at Luo Qin with gloomy expressions, Xie Si Niang immediately said: "Sister Qin, you are my good sister. If anyone dares to bully you, then it is against my Xie family!"

Xie Si Niang is clearly trying to protect Luo Qin.

Yang Yiyi was stopped before she could even open her mouth to say anything mocking. However, the Xie family was indeed powerful and they, the Hongnong Yang family, really couldn't afford to offend them. She snorted angrily.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Wang Aijing was the first to speak to break the awkwardness, "I heard that Miss Luo is from Jingzhou?"

Hearing Wang Aijing's soft voice, Luo Qin immediately smiled and replied: "That's right."

"Then Miss Luo, would you like to tell me about the customs and people of Jingzhou?" She smiled, and then she added sadly, "I have been in poor health since I was young, and have never left Jiankang. I don't know what the outside world is like, and I am really curious about it."

In fact, it was not just her. Other girls had never had the opportunity to leave Jiankang. After hearing what Wang Aijing said, many of them also became interested.

"Yes." Luo Qin nodded, and then told them some of his experiences in Jingzhou and Nanyang.

Xie Si Niang would occasionally interrupt and give some guidance, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

At the same time, the young man had also started drinking and composing poems.

The gentlemen are also of different ages, from different families, and from different circles.

The celebrities were used to enjoying themselves, and there were beautiful girls singing and dancing, and the sound of stringed instruments was endless.

They sat around a stream, the water was so clear that one could see the bottom. A black lacquered cup with red lines filled with fine wine was placed on the water, and the stream carried the cup up and down in the clear stream as it flowed downwards.

When the lacquer cup came to the shore and stopped in front of a young man, the young man took it, drank the wine, and composed an impromptu poem.

At the same time, someone unfolded a piece of silkworm cocoon paper on the table and took down the famous person's poems.

As for the girls, they were not good at drinking, so they put various cooked colored eggs, such as chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, in the Qushui River. They painted the shells of these eggs, put them into the water and let them drift. They were called "Qushui Fusu Eggs", and whoever the eggs floated to could eat them.

There is another dish called “Floating Red Dates on the Qushui River”, which is to put the deep red dates floating on the water.

Both plain eggs and red dates mean early birth of a son, symbolizing many children, good fortune, and happiness.

Of course, there are some other snacks as well.

After a while, two more girls came.

"Ah, I'm late, please forgive me sisters."

Luo Qin and the others looked up and saw that the person who spoke was a beautiful girl with a flamboyant look. Xie Si Niang whispered in her ear: "The one who is speaking is Yu's Ali."

Yu family?

Those are Yu Qilang’s sisters.

There was another timid little girl beside Yu Li, her eyes were a little evasive and she seemed very nervous.

Luo Qin asked Xie Si Niang: "Whose family is the other girl from?"

Xie Si Niang also shook her head. "This person looks unfamiliar. I don't know him either."

Yu Li smiled and came over with the girl next to him and sat down. The other girls looked at this girl one after another.

"Who is this girl?" someone asked.

The nervous girl saw someone asking her, so she answered: "I am Fan Tao from the Fan family of Nanyang."

"Nanyang Fan family?"

Hearing Nanyang, Luo Qin looked over sideways.

The little girl was so nervous that her face turned red.

Seeing this, a girl asked, "What is your position, sir?"

"The governor of Nanyang."

The prefect is a fourth-rank official, which is not a low rank.

However, these noble ladies did not buy it. "Why did you bring this girl from a small family here? It's bad luck!"

"That's right, the daughter of a governor of a small place..."

When Fan Tao, the daughter of the Fan family in Nanyang, heard these words which were full of malicious intent, her face turned pale and she looked at Yu Li who brought her there as if for help. However, Yu Li did not even look at her and let her be laughed at.

Luo Qin was also nervous. Fan Tao's father was a fourth-rank governor and was ridiculed. What about her, the daughter of an eighth-rank imperial physician...

Fortunately, there is Xie Si Niang.

Luo Qin looked at Xie Si Niang gratefully. At this moment, Xie Si Niang seemed to have sensed something and turned back. Seeing her future sister-in-law looking at her with gratitude, she gently patted Luo Qin's hand.

At the same time, Xie Si Niang was also complaining in her heart. Fortunately, these girls didn’t know that the eldest brother liked Luo Qin, otherwise Luo Qin would definitely be torn apart!
