Chapter 429： Palace Banquet (Part 1)

  Chen Shi saw Xia Shi and Fan Zijin who were heading for the Qi family seat, smiled and said, "I'll go later."

Old Taijun Yuan also saw the two of them. She knew that the Qi brothers had a good relationship with the Xia family, and the family members of the generals that the Xia family knew were not under them, but they had been less frequent over the years.

It is true that the Xia family came to take Li Jinghua and Mu Yangling to meet people. This is a rare place to meet people, and they have no introduction, so it is difficult to know people. The Xia family is a military attache, and the Zhu family is a military attache. She There are really a lot of family members of military attachés that I know.

When Mu Yangling saw them coming, he pushed Qi Haoran, the two got up to meet him, and Xia pushed his son with a hearty smile: "Okay, you two go play, I'll take Jinghua and A Ling. Meet some friends."

"Then ask my aunt to take care of it," Qi Haoran turned around and said to Mu Yangling, "Listen to my aunt and sister-in-law."

Mu Yangling replied in a very obedient low voice.

Fan Zijin couldn't help but take a second glance at this low-brow pleasing appearance, which made Xia Shi couldn't help but get nervous, he stepped forward to block his eyes, waved his hand and smiled: "Go, go, I'm looking at the Chen family. The boy has already looked over here several times."

Chen Qian was one of the two former good brothers. After they came back, Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin really hadn't seen him. It had been five years, and they were indeed a little unfamiliar. The two of them looked over there and saw that kid. Staring straight at them, the two brothers smiled at each other and walked over.

Xia breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the submissive Mu Yangling, and sighed slightly. At this time, even if she liked Mu Yangling, she didn't want to have more contact with her. Recently, she has found so many daughters and daughters for her son. He didn't notice a single one.

Xia took the two to meet acquaintances. Of course, the key point was to help Li Jinghua build a bridge with the other party. She also wanted to help Mu Yangling, because compared with Qi Xiuyuan, she and Qi Haoran were closer, equivalent to the second son.

Qi Xiuyuan is her nephew, and she naturally loves her, but Qi Haoran grew up in front of her since childhood, and her relationship is even more unusual, but she only met two people. On Li Jinghua.

Because Mu Yangling's temper is too soft, although she behaves gracefully, but unless someone asks her a question, she will never take the initiative to talk to her, just stand aside with a smile.

Mu Yangling expressed helplessness about this misunderstanding, because she really couldn't get in on what they said, and everyone was not familiar with it. Of course, listening with a smile is the best.

Xia felt that Li Jinghua's communication skills were much stronger, and she could flatter people quietly, and as long as she introduced one person, she seemed to be able to know the situation of the other's husband's family and her parents' family. The problem is not that the other party is interested, it is that the other party can pick up the word. Even Xia Shi, who has lived for more than 20 years, sighs to himself. When he married into the Fan family, if he had half of her skills Maybe it won't be that way.

She is worthy of being a daughter of an aristocratic family. Although she is still young, her means cannot be underestimated. Looking at it this way, even if Mu Yangling is too introverted, they should be able to stand firm in the capital.

Clan Xia was relieved, and she was more attentive and enthusiastic when introducing these officials and family members to Li Jinghua.

Some people didn't know that the Qi family once again became a tacit joke, and when everyone's eyes met, ridicule and laughter flashed.

As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu did not bring her own daughter-in-law, but let Mrs. Fan Xia lead her to identify the person. It has always been rumored in the capital that Qi Feng was very poor to the sons of the two original spouses. Although everyone said in private that there was a stepmother Stepfather, but in fact, I always feel that no matter what, it is my own, even if it is almost not too biased. Two years ago, Qi Feng blurted out Qi Xiuyuan in the courtroom and pushed Qi Xiuyuan out of trouble, which was already very contemptible. This time Seeing that the couple left behind their son and daughter-in-law and ran to the east to stir up the storm, why is it not a joke?

Everyone shook their heads slightly.

Although everyone's gaze was obscure, Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were sensitive. Almost when everyone was watching jokes and taunting each other in a low voice, the two of them raised their heads involuntarily and looked around in a circle. Before disappearing, Mu Yangling frowned slightly. Li Jinghua pulled her sleeves before she could figure it out. She came back to her senses, and looked over with a smile subconsciously.

Shen shi smiled and said, "This is General Qi's little daughter-in-law? She's really small. How old is this year?"

Oops, I forgot to hear it just now, who is this person?

Mu Yangling lowered his head shyly and whispered, "It will be fifteen after the new year."

Shen sighed, "That's still very small. You left your hometown at such a young age, do you want to go home?"

Mu Yangling didn't expect this lady to be so kind. After thinking about it, he said, "I think so, but our grandfather said that this is also our home."

Shen shi smiled, looked at Mu Yangling's white and moist face, and said with a smile: "General Qi is right, Lin'an Mansion will also be your home in the future, if you are bored in the future, come come and play with me, I have a daughter with you. Almost old, my daughters-in-law are not too old, just in time to play with you."

Shen Shi turned his head to Mrs Xia and said, "I like this child. His eyes are clear, and he likes him when he sees it."

The reason why the Xia Clan had such a good impression of Mu Yangling when they first met was also because of this, Wen Yan smiled and said, "It's good that Madam likes it, and in the future, let her go to relieve you of your boredom. You have to take care of her more."

Shen shi agreed, "No problem, as long as you don't blame me for abducting your nephew and daughter-in-law."

Shen shi happily took Mu Yangling's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see some old Fengjun."

Xia Shi was delighted and gave Li Jinghua a wink. Not everyone can join Lao Fengjun. As far as she is concerned, she knows all Lao Fengjun in the capital, but she doesn't know anyone except Mrs. Yuan. her.

Li Jinghua glanced at Mu Yangling, the child must have lost his mind just now.

No matter how sluggish Mu Yangling was at this time, he knew that the other party's status was not low. He was thinking about what to say for a while when he heard Li Jinghua gently ask: "Mrs. Yuan, can we go and see Mrs. Yuan? I'll reply. Before Beijing, our grandfather asked me to remember to kowtow to the old lady, but we just settled down when we got back, and we haven’t had time to come to the door.”

Mrs. Yuan? General Yuan's mother?

Mu Yangling instantly understood that this one was General Yuan's wife, Mrs. Shen.

Shen shi smiled and said, "I'll take you there."

Mrs. Yuan was sitting and laughing with a few old Fengjun, and stopped talking when a few juniors came over, and after Mu Yangling and the others saluted and said hello, she asked with a smile, "You two are the daughters-in-law of the Qi brothers? "

Li Jinghua smiled, and the old lady Yuan put her eyes on her and asked with a smile, "You are the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Qi family, right? That child is a lucky one."

Li Jinghua's face was slightly red, and an old lady beside her said, "Isn't she also a lucky one? She is already a second-rank lady at a young age."

Mrs. Yuan gave her a sideways look, "The older you get, the more invisible you are, why are you jealous with a child?" He comforted Li Jinghua again, "You are a good boy, they are military generals, and they tie their heads to the belts of their trousers when they are outside. Yes, if we women can't go to the battlefield, we can help them take care of the backyard, so don't blame men for not having time to accompany you."

Li Jinghua's face was even redder, and she said in a low voice but firmly: "No, the juniors know that they have to work harder on the battlefield."
