After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 170 The banquet is in progress
The banquet began and Luo Qingqing stood at the door to welcome guests. Everything was normal.
Everyone was enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
Until Lin Han arrived, the wives, legitimate daughters, and illegitimate daughters of the Lin family all came.
In fact, the people in the Lin family don’t like Luo Qingqing very much.
Now Luo Qingqing was welcoming guests at the door. Everyone else just glanced at them, handed them the invitations, and turned around to go in.
Lin Han greeted Luo Qingqing as soon as he got off the carriage.
Mrs. Lin was somewhat displeased and glared at Lin Han fiercely.
Lin Han immediately said to Mrs. Lin in a flattering manner: "Mother, I will follow you in right away!"
Lin Han looked at Luo Qingqing and immediately said: "Qingqing, that's great! You are here to welcome guests at the door!
It seems that this is an acknowledgement that you are the second lady of the Luo Mansion?"
Lin Han's words immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and everyone came over to watch the fun.
Luo Qingqing said with some displeasure: "What are you talking about? Miss Lin, you can't say such things casually!
I am still in the same position as before, how can there be any second lady of the Luo Mansion?"
Lin Han pretended to be shocked and said: "Ah? But you told me that Prime Minister Luo asked his servants to call you Second Miss!
And that old woman next to you!
It seems like she is called the Second Madam?
I thought you had become the second lady, it seems I said the wrong thing!"
Lin Han immediately covered his mouth.
Luo Qingqing immediately retorted: "When did I tell you this? I remember I didn't tell you?
Where did you hear all this news?
This is all nonsense, okay?
Besides, what's the point of you saying these things at the door of this banquet?
Don't you want the Luo Mansion banquet to go on smoothly?"
Lin Han had tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly: "But it was you who really told me?
Is there anyone else who can tell me? I can only know about the Luo Mansion through you, right?
You know that Qingqing is the legitimate daughter, and I am not familiar with her.
Could she tell me these things? That's absolutely impossible!
Qingqing, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Look, your status has risen, which is not a bad thing!"
Luo Qingqing was about to lose her temper, but then she saw the contemptuous looks from the people around her.
And I told her yesterday that this party must go smoothly!
Luo Qingqing also said a little aggrievedly: "Ms. Lin, we are good friends.
I can't possibly tell you these things, I'm in denial myself.
I want to know, who did you get the favor from to slander me like this?"
At this time, Wen Qiao came out, stared at Luo Qingqing and said, "But you have a good relationship with Miss Lin, isn't this something everyone in this circle knows?
You two have a good relationship, why would I want to harm you? Is it just fake sisterhood?
Is Miss Lin lying? If we go in and ask her later, won’t the truth be revealed?
There are so many people watching here, this will have a bad influence!"
Everyone was whispering nearby. Luo Qingqing also felt that it was not good, so she decided to just endure it and stopped talking.
Luo Qingqing smiled and gestured to them to come in.
When Lin Han saw Luo Qingqing being humiliated, he was extremely happy.
Although Mrs. Lin seemed to be scolding Lin Han, she also wanted to see Luo Qingqing being humiliated.
Everyone disliked Luo Qingqing. Those people were well-informed.
Everyone knows that Luo Qingqing's arrival has caused Wang Yuyuan to suffer a lot of grievances.
They are all mistresses of the house, how can they be willing to see their friends being bullied?
He is still laughing at others, and of course he is just trying to embarrass those who bully his friends!
The people who were standing at the door just now came in, and they all asked me and Wang Yuyuan: "Is Luo Qingqing really his cousin's child?
Or is she the illegitimate daughter of Prime Minister Luo?
I heard that you want to promote the servant to be your second wife, is this true?"
Wang Yuyuan and I looked at each other, and both began to feel sad and sighed repeatedly.
We are in this state, as if we want to say something but can't!
It even caused the people present to doubt what the truth was!
What makes it difficult for us to speak?
Soon after, everyone arrived and Luo Qingqing also took a seat.
Wang Yuyuan took out all the treasures she saw and bought in the Zanbao Pavilion and showed them to everyone.
Many people looked up, and everyone looked at the lifelike hairpins, and marveled at the great skills of the hairpin maker!
Some people were also whispering below: "These things must cost a lot of money to buy, right?
Is this Prime Minister's Mansion really rich?"
Some people looked around and found that Li Cui was also serving as a servant here.
Li Cui's outfit was out of tune with the maids around her.
Li Cui was dressed very elegantly. She didn't wear bright red or purple clothes, but blue.
The quality of this dress is indeed top-notch. The hairpins on her head are also very few, but very exquisite.
Li Cui's clothes were better than those of some concubines' daughters, which inevitably caused some people's dissatisfaction.
Many concubines looked at Li Cui fiercely, and they remembered what Lin Han said at the door.
The concubines began to speak up one after another: "This Prime Minister's Mansion is really rich! Look at this maid, she is not dressed simply.
It's obviously made of fine silk and satin!"
At this time, no one at the banquet spoke loudly. When everyone heard the voice, they immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
Sure enough, I saw Li Cui, who was dressed elegantly.
Luo Qingqing turned her head and found that Li Cui was dressed better than her.
Luo Qingqing was already burning with anger.
Luo Qingqing didn't expect that Li Cui actually hid all the good things.
Wang Yuyuan and I looked in the direction everyone was looking and saw Li Cui!
Li Cui now stood tall, enjoying everyone's gazes.
Faced with those people's ridicule, Wang Yuyuan immediately lowered her head and wiped her face with a handkerchief.
Wang Yuyuan immediately controlled her expression, and then said with some sadness: "She is also an elder in this mansion!
Came earlier than Qingqing? No, a while ago!
Forget it, these are things that have nothing to do with the banquet, so let’s not mention them!
Lest it disturb your nature!"
Wang Yuyuan's hesitant look pushed the atmosphere to a climax!
Luo Qingqing looked at Li Cui and knew that she would also become the protagonist of the topic, after all, Li Cui was also someone in her room!
Luo Qingqing yelled at Li Cui: "You are no longer needed here, get down quickly!
Change your clothes! Your clothes are too much for you!"
Li Cui thought it was Wang Yuyuan who was talking about her, but unexpectedly it was Luo Qingqing who was talking about her!
Li Cui immediately looked directly into Luo Qingqing's eyes and said in a resounding voice: "If you don't need me, I will naturally withdraw!
May I ask, young lady, how is my dress inappropriate?
I didn't wear clothes of a color that I shouldn't wear, it's just that the fabric was better. Is that wrong?
I also do not wear any hairpins that do not belong to me.
These are the things I have saved up so much money to buy. What's wrong with wearing them now?"
Luo Qingqing didn't expect Li Cui to say this. This was not like the Li Cui of the past.
If Li Cui in the past could be as tough as she is today, Luo Qingqing would not have suffered so much.
When Luo Qingqing saw Li Cui's look, she was immediately furious.
Luo Qingqing continued to scold: "Today is the day when my aunt is hosting a banquet. Are you trying to steal my aunt's limelight by wearing this?
What if word gets out that my uncle and aunt live in such poverty?
"Did this servant steal the limelight?"
Li Cui looked at Luo Qingqing and knew what Luo Qingqing meant.
Li Cui no longer plans to protect Luo Qingqing.
Li Cui knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, there is nothing wrong with me wearing this dress!
Besides, it’s impossible for this dress to take away the credit from the lady, right?
Madam, you are so naturally beautiful. I am already middle-aged and naturally cannot be compared with you.
I can leave, but I don't accept what you just said!"
Li Cui and Wang Yuyuan are about the same age.
This sounds like he is saying that he is not as good as Wang Yuyuan, but people with ulterior motives will hear it.
I also know that Li Cui is also hinting that Wang Yuyuan is already middle-aged.
Wang Yuyuan was not a pushover either, she said with a smile on her face: "Li Cui, there is really nothing wrong with the clothes you are wearing!
Now the banquet has officially begun, and you are no longer needed here!
"Go down quickly!"
When Li Cui passed by Luo Qingqing, she glared at her fiercely.
At this time, everyone was laughing at Luo Qingqing. Some people even said, "Luo Qingqing, your life in this mansion is just like this!
Even a servant can bully her. I didn't expect that she could be favored by the fifth prince!"
"What if the Fifth Prince has set his eyes on this daughter of the Luo family? She was just sent over as a gift!"
Others echoed.
Many people heard this as us abusing Luo Qingqing.
I immediately came out with a sad face and explained to everyone: "This Li Cui used to be my wet nurse, but later she went to serve my cousin.
Maybe I bought new clothes recently and I just happened to wear them at this time!
It’s nothing, everyone, enjoy your meal and drink! ”
Then, I proposed to everyone: "We will take out some of the hairpins we saw today and play games with them later.
The winner can take the hairpins away, what do you think? "
When everyone heard this, they immediately agreed. For those concubines, if they could get these hairpins,
The money I exchanged would be enough to cover my expenses for a year.
Wang Yuyuan looked at me, then looked at the wives and daughters sitting below.
They were thinking more about the situation in Luo Mansion. They were more worried that we would take these hairpins back in the future.
Wang Yuyuan straightened her sitting posture and said, "My dowry shop has been making good profits recently. It just so happened that I bought too many hairpins that day.
Since the theme this time is hairpins! It is impossible for all the sisters to only look at them but not get them, right?
We take out most of the stuff to play with, and whoever wins gets it!
Everyone, please participate actively!"
Everyone felt relieved and the young girls all joined in.
The events played by women are actually very similar to those played by men.
They are all competitions in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or guessing riddles and other games!
Everyone is performing improvisationally, it just depends on who among you has real talent and knowledge!
Luo Qingqing also received several hairpins at the banquet, and many concubines also received some.
These hairpins are neither expensive nor cheap.
Some of the favored daughters of the family would deliberately let the concubines' daughters succeed.
The legitimate daughters were well aware that their families treated illegitimate daughters badly, and their own education did not allow it, so they went against the family rules.
Most of the legitimate daughters chose not to participate, leaving the concubines' daughters to play on their own.
Not all of these concubines wanted to usurp the throne. Many of them had good personalities and characters, but their origins were not good!
Naturally, I was watching from the side. I already have all the hairpins that I like, so the ones that were taken out were naturally things that I didn't think much of.
What's more, I am the host of this event. If I participate in this event, some people with good sense will naturally choose to let me go.
This was not the scene I wanted, so I just stayed by her side with Wen Qiao.
Everyone has someone they get along well with, so naturally they all go to look for someone they get along well with.
Wen Qiao brought Chun Zi with her this time. Chun Zi looked at those hairpins and wanted some of them.
I leaned over to Wenqiao's ear and said, "Your Chunzi really wants these hairpins!
Do you want to join us? If you don’t like these things, you can give them to your servants!”
Wen Qiao snorted coldly and said: "With my current condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to win even once!
And she has a lot of hairpins! I think there are many better ones than these!"
I spoke quite loudly, so Chunzi naturally heard it.
Chun Zi was also a very perceptive person. She immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Miss! I don't have it! I really don't have it!"
Chun Zi's sudden kneeling drew everyone's attention to Wen Qiao.
He Jingming looked at his daughter and asked Wen Qiao awkwardly: "Wen Qiao, what's going on?
Why did Chun Zi suddenly kneel down? "
Wen Qiao didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say.
I said from the side: "Wen Qiao wanted to win the hairpin back to Chun Zi.
I thought of the Chun Zi hairpin again, there are many better ones than this one.
So let it go!"
After hearing this, Chun Zi knelt down.
After I said this, the whole audience fell silent.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward! Two maids. All eyes were on the maids today!
After Wenqiao heard what I said, she pouted and said, "That's right! My daughter accidentally discovered that Chunzi has a lot of jewelry!
It even has kingfisher feathers! My daughter doesn’t even have such a good thing!
Thinking about these things, I guess Chun Zi won’t be interested in them!
I don’t know why she knelt down!”
