Chapter 5: Being a Guest (2)
It's sunny and beautiful, and it's a good day to go out.
When Yuxi brought Zijin to the Qin Mansion, she saw several carriages parked outside. Yuxi was not surprised either. Xu invited her in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums, so she must not be the only one invited. Well, take this opportunity to get to know more about these officials and wives in Yucheng.
After getting out of the carriage, Yuxi didn't see the oil truck or the sedan chair. It was so obvious that they had to walk in.
A woman came up to meet her and said, "Miss Han, please come with me."
Yuxi smiled and nodded. Originally, I wanted to take a good look at the layout of the Qin Mansion, after all, the houses here are different from those in the capital. It's a pity that before she started to look around, she met a plump woman in silver-red clothes.
When the woman saw Yuxi, she came over with a smile on her face, and said as soon as she came up, "Hey, whose girl is this, she looks so juicy? Why haven't I seen it before?" The girl's dressing is the same as A woman's is different, so it cannot be mistaken.
Yuxi bowed to the woman, and smiled decently: "I am the fourth girl of the Korean government, do you know who my wife is?"
The woman yelled, and asked: "How is it possible? [UU Reading 00ks] The fourth girl of the South Korean government has been killed by the barbarians from the north, and they have all been buried now?"
Yuxi said sadly: "My elder brother heard that the road was not smooth and was worried that something would happen, so he found someone to pretend that I was taking the official road with my dowry, and I took a few confidant servants to take the trail. I didn't expect that I would go halfway I heard that the Beiyao people kidnapped my substitute. Speaking of it, I am sorry for her." Half-truths and half-false words are the most troublesome.
The woman was taken aback for a moment, but she reacted very quickly, and took Yuxi's hand and said affectionately: "So you are really a girl from the Han family! I was very sad when I heard that Miss Han was raped to death by the barbarians in the north. Suddenly, the other wives in Yucheng also said that Miss Han is a confidante, but she didn't expect it to be a false alarm." After a pause, he said, "My husband's surname is Xia, and he is in charge of the military rations."
Although Yuxi is not used to being held by a stranger like this, she still endured the discomfort in her heart, nodded and said: "Yes! Fortunately, I walked on the trail, otherwise I don't know what is going on now?" After finishing speaking , showing a frightened face.
Mrs. Xia smiled and said: "This is also my sister's blessing." Mrs. Xia murmured in her heart, her husband felt something strange at this time before, but he didn't expect that the person who died was not a real person.
The two went to the garden together, and Mrs. Xia pretended to be casual and said: "I heard Mrs. Qin say that sister Han is very good at female red, and she was able to embroider double-sided embroidery a few years ago. I don't know if it is true or not?"
Yuxi heard the smell of temptation, and said with a smile: "I also have some talent in embroidery, and I am not very good at other aspects."
Mrs. Xia was surprised: "I didn't expect what Mrs. Qin said to be true? I didn't believe it at the time! Sister Han is really ingenious. It is really a blessing that Yun Shen will marry Miss Han." Double-sided embroidery Only Mrs. Qin has this thing, and she showed it off before! I didn't expect others to be able to embroider, it's really incomparable.
Yu Xi smiled shyly, but didn't answer Mrs. Xia's words. This man's husband must not be close to Yun Qing, otherwise he would not call Yun Qing General Yun.
Soon they arrived in the garden. Although Qin Fu's garden could not be said to be colorful, there were also many flowers blooming. Especially the chrysanthemums bloom very well. I don't know why, looking at the brilliantly blooming chrysanthemums, Yu Xi felt particularly glaring.
Mrs. Xia led Yuxi to a woman in lilac-colored clothes, and introduced with a smile: "Miss Han, this is Mrs. Qin."
When Yuxi came in, she saw Mrs. Xu surrounded by everyone.
This Mrs. Xu has a small oval face with fair skin and thin red lips. Although her appearance can only be considered delicate, she has a gentle charm unique to women from water villages, which makes people feel easy to get close to.
I did my homework before and knew that Xu's biological mother was a Jiangnan woman, so it's not surprising that Xu's appearance is like this. Yu Xi saluted Xu Shifu, with a signature smile on her face: "Hello, Mrs. Qin."
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "I knew you were going to Yucheng two days ago and wanted to invite you to visit, but I thought about you running around, so I gave up. I don't know if sister Han is still used to it in Yucheng?"
When Xu came in just now, she had already looked at Yuxi without any trace. Today, Yuxi is wearing a Ruyi-patterned summer shirt with twelve pieces of moonlight in light blue sprinkled with gold, and the skirt is embroidered with orchids. She was combed into a Japanese bun, wearing a red gold-dotted emerald phoenix hairpin on her head, a pair of sapphire earrings on her ears, and a mutton fat jade bracelet on her wrist, making her wrist as white as jade. There are not many jewelry, but everything is exquisite.
In front of people who don't know the details, Yuxi has always adhered to the principle of saying more than wrong. Yuxi said with a smile: "It's just that the weather is a little dry, but everything else is fine."
The two were talking, when suddenly a laugh came: "I'm late." Before the person arrived, the voice came first.
Xu smiled and said to Yuxi: "This is my sister, A Gu, who is a cheerful character." She only said that she was the younger sister, and did not mention the official position of her husband's family.
Soon, people showed up. Yuxi looked at the people who came in, feeling very delicate. This Mrs. Qin is wearing bright red clothes, with a golden twisted lantern hairpin in front of her hair, long red gold gemstone hairpins on both sides, and a emerald curly lotus on the back, red gold opal pendants inlaid with emeralds on her ears, and on her wrists. He also wore a soft bracelet inlaid with gold, pearls and emeralds, which looked extremely rich. But this kind of dress also makes people look very gorgeous.
Yuxi greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Hong." Although Mrs. Qin did not introduce in detail, Yuxi also did her homework in advance. And Hong Tongzhi's wife, Mrs. Xu, is Mrs. Qin's clan sister, which is known to many people in Yucheng. This kind of homework is an indispensable part of communication.
Madam Hong looked at Yuxi and said with a smile: "You must be General Yun's fiancée Miss Han Si? Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting her. She is really a great beauty."
Yuxi was not used to such straightforward words, but she said with an unchanged look: "Mrs. Hong is over the prize." One or two said she was beautiful, as if she was a vase, and they didn't know about it What does man mean.
Yu Xi went back after finishing her lunch in the Qin residence. The whole morning went smoothly, without the conspiracy that Zijin was worried about.
Zijin was a little puzzled, and asked, "Girl, you've been talking about flowers, cakes, and tea all morning. Why did this woman invite you here?"
Yuxi said wearily: "They're looking into my details." After finishing speaking, she rubbed her temples. Going out to socialize is the most tiring task.
Zijin said: "Girl, how come the Tongzhi, Shoubei, and Qianhu in Yucheng are all on good terms with the Qin family?" No matter how slow she reacted, she knew something was wrong.
Yuxi said with some headaches: "The water in this Yucheng is deeper than I imagined." Qin Zhao's power is greater than she imagined, and in this situation, Yunqing can still survive being killed by him, I have to say that it is a big deal!
Thinking of this, Yu Xi couldn't help sighing. This is the disadvantage of marrying out. When you go to a strange place, you don't know anyone, and you have to figure out everything by yourself. Marrying Yunqing is even worse, there is no one around to help, so you have to fight alone. Moreover, it can be seen from Yuxi's entertainment today that Yunqing's popularity is not very good. Otherwise, today more than a dozen wives would have watched her being questioned non-stop by Mrs. Xia Shou and Mrs. Hong, and none of them would have stepped forward to help her, and all of them would have chosen to sit on the sidelines.
After Yuxi left, Mrs. Hong said to Mrs. Xu: "Sister, this Mrs. Han can't be a fake, it's definitely a real person." A real lady can't be faked by just pulling someone along.
In fact, Xu didn't think that Han Yuxi was a fake at first, because there was no need for Yunqing to do so. Even if it was Yunqing's fiancée who was raped to death, so what? He didn't go through the door, and he didn't kill him: "This Han family looks harmless, but in fact it doesn't leak water." At the banquet, she introduced more than a dozen people in general, but they took it easy and responded appropriately. This ability is not something ordinary people can do.
Mrs. Hong nodded and said: "Yes, I talked to Mrs. Xia for a long time, and I got all the useful words." Regarding their questions, Mrs. Han either simply said a few words, or smiled shyly, really Slippery.
Mrs. Xu was a little worried: "I just hope that it will always be like this." Although her husband is the chief general of the Northwest Army, many people below are not convinced, and with Yun Qing watching over him, her husband's situation is actually quite difficult. Fortunately, Yunqing did not marry the Zhao family, otherwise the current situation would be even more unfavorable to them.
Mrs. Hong said with a smile: "Sister, you are worrying too much. Although this woman has some tricks, they are all tricks of the inner house. What kind of waves can she cause? Besides, sister doesn't know that the Han family is a bastard. Before passing the door, Yunqing lost the Zhao family's support for her, and she lost all face a few days ago. When she passes the door, I don't know how Yunqing will despise her!"
Xu looked at this clan sister and shook her head helplessly. Don't say that Han's beautiful men won't be tempted by seeing them, even if she is from the Korean government, Yunqing will treat her well. Han Hangong is the Minister of the Ministry of War with great power in his hands, no matter how stupid Yunqing is, he will never lose such a powerful wife and clan.
There is a saying that good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. As soon as the news about Miss Han Si being kidnapped by the bandits in the capital dissipated, it was revealed that Miss Han Si was not kidnapped by the bandits, but was taken away by the northern barbarians.
When Han Hao told Han Jianming the rumor, he said, "My lord, what should we do?"
Han Jianming said in a deep voice: "It's just a rumor, don't pay attention to it." He knew the news last night, but Han Jianming believed that Yuxi's intelligence should not fall into the hands of the northern barbarians so easily. All he had to do now was wait for news from the border town. (to be continued)
