Chapter 18 Temptation (1)

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Yuxi received an invitation from the Lord of Heshou County. This invitation is hot to hold.

Yuxi soon knew that Lord Heshou had also invited Yuchen, and immediately went to Tingyun Pavilion to look for Yuchen, and said with a sad face, "Sister, is Lord Heshou looking at the visitor unkindly?"

Yuchen is not stupid, how could she not know that Ri and Shou County Lord behaved differently that day. But it's useless to worry, and said immediately: "It's okay, just go to the appointment."

Yuxi felt very bitter, and said: "Sister, this is the first time I saw the Lord Heshou County in the Taining Hou Mansion. Why do you think she has so much hostility to me? I asked my aunt, our manor There is no enmity between Princess Qingyang and the Qiao family." Not to mention enmity, there is no ordinary quarrel, so Yuxi really feels that the hostility with Shou County Lord is inexplicable.

Yuchen said lightly: "Don't worry, County Lord Heshou has invited a lot of people this time, not just the two of us. She can't do much in public."

Don't look at Yuchen as a fairy in the sky on weekdays, but in fact her sources of information are faster and more comprehensive than Yuxi's. Whenever there is any disturbance in the capital, Yuchen will know it at the first time. It's just that Yuchen remained silent, outsiders didn't know, even Yuxi guessed it.

Yuxi asked: "Who did you invite?" The Lord of Heshou County invited everyone to the banquet in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums.

Yuchen said: "The Yu family, the Jiang family, the Duan family, the Li family, and the Zhou family have invited more than a dozen people." The girl invited by Lord Heshou County is either a noble or a family of important ministers, and her vision is really unusual.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "That's good." Yu Xi also knew that she was too nervous, so she and the Lord of Shou County used all kinds of tricks. Even if she wanted to deal with her, she would definitely not do it at the banquet held by her home. It just feels really bad to be hostile for no reason.

Yuchen looked at Yuxi's tangled expression, and thought it was a little funny: "Don't worry, although Heshou County Lord is the County Lord, we don't need to be afraid of her." As long as we stand upright and steady, Heshou County Lord can do nothing Can't miss them.

Yuxi really wanted to say, if I had your background, I wouldn't be afraid. The problem is that her father doesn't love her grandmother, and she doesn't have the support of her uncle's family. It's just a tragedy.

No matter how entangled she was, Yu Xi didn't intend to refuse the invitation. You can't always avoid things, and if you avoid them this time, you will have to face them in the future.

The Lord of Heshou County only invited Yuxi and Yuchen, but not Yuru and Yujing. It's not that County Lord Heshou doesn't look down on them, but that the invitations sent this time are all prostitutes. Of course, if the concubine wants to follow, no one will stop her.

Yu Jing wanted to go with her, and she encouraged Yu Ru to go with her.

Yu Ru refused without even thinking about it, and said, "Second Sister, the county magistrate didn't invite us to go, if we go along, wouldn't it be embarrassing at that time." She hated Yu Xi and Yu Chen back then, and she also hated herself Concubine's identity. But after several years of teaching by Nanny Chang, Yuru also wanted to open it. No matter how jealous she is, she can't change her status as a concubine. Instead of riri being jealous and complaining, it's better to spend more time trying to please the aunt, so that the aunt can find a good family for her in the future.

Yu Jing hated Yu Ru for not thinking ahead, but she couldn't control Yu Ru's thoughts, let alone make a decision for Yu Ru. No matter how unwilling Yu Jing was, she could only sulk in her own room, not having the guts to look for Qiu Shi. The relationship between her aunt and her aunt is like a fire and water, and it would be good if the aunt didn't get into trouble and secretly harm her, so how could she pave for her. She is also fourteen years old now, and she will reach Jiji next year, so she still has to plan for herself.

After much deliberation, Yujing finally felt that she could ask Yuchen for help. She has a bad relationship with Yuxi, so she will be ruled out first, and finally only Yuchen will be left.

Yuchen's reputation as a friendly sister did not come out of thin air, and she would never refuse within her power. Yuchen knew Yujing's reason for coming, so he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Yuchen is not Yuxi, she can't say that Heshou County Lord only invites his daughter-in-law. However, she asked the servant girl to tell Yujing's close servant girl this in private, hoping that Yujing would retreat in spite of the difficulties. To Yuchen's disappointment, even if Yujing knew that the county lord only invited his daughter-in-law, she was still ready to go.

Nanny Gui felt that she had taught Yuchen well: "Girl, you can definitely push the request of the second girl to the eldest lady or the old lady, you shouldn't accept it."

Yuchen smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect the second sister to know the whole story and insist on going." If it were her, she would definitely not go.

Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "Girl, the second girl has a big heart. From now on, the girl should be more on guard against her." Of the four girls in the Duke's mansion, the eldest girl is honest and responsible, the second girl is ambitious, but unfortunately she doesn't have enough means. Seemingly straightforward but the most scheming one. As for the fifth girl, she was completely fooled by being raised by the Wu family. But fortunately, I am young, so I may be able to break it back.

Yuchen nodded slowly: "Mommy, I know what to do."

Qiu has no daughter of her own, so her thoughts have been spent on Yuxi for the past two years. Knowing that Yuxi was going to attend the banquet hosted by Lord Heshou County, she immediately ordered the sewing room to make two new clothes. This is a private account, and others have nothing to say.

On the day of the banquet, Yuxi got up early to freshen up. You can be casual at home on weekdays, but you can't make a mistake in wearing it when you go out, because it represents the face of the Duke's Mansion. If something goes wrong, outsiders will only laugh at the lack of upbringing of the Duke's Mansion.

When Qiu Shi saw Yuxi, she smiled and said: "From now on, you have to dress like this in the mansion, it looks good." Yuxi's clothes are not bad on weekdays, but in the mansion Yuxi doesn't wear tops, so she is not as glamorous as she is now.

Yuxi said with a smile: "It's also my aunt who has good eyesight and made me such beautiful clothes." The Qiu family used bright and good materials for Yuxi. According to Qiu Shi, if young girls don't wear brighter clothes, when will they wear them.

This time, Yujing failed to go to the princess mansion to enjoy the chrysanthemum as she wished. It's not that someone is causing trouble, but that Yujing has a cold and is taking medicine!

In the past, when attending banquets, Qiu Shi always brought them here. This time, Lord Shou and County Lord Shou invited people of the same age, so Qiu Shi naturally wouldn't follow. Yuxi has already attended several banquets, if she goes to someone else's house, she will definitely not be nervous. But when I went to the princess mansion, I always had a worry in my heart.

Yuchen looked at Yuxi like this, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, if you are worried, you will follow me later."

Yuxi immediately agreed.

It takes more than half an hour from the Duke's Mansion to the Princess Mansion. Feeling bored, Yu Xi casually took a chess book from the table next to her and prepared to read it.

Yuchen frowned and said, "Yuxi, reading in a carriage hurts your eyes." In general, Yuxi is no worse than Yuchen, but in terms of details, it's not even a star.

After hearing this, Yuxi put the chess record back to its original place as if nothing had happened. In the past, Yuxi had always envied Yuchen, thinking that she was good everywhere, but now Yuxi doesn't think so. The mother-in-law taught Yuchen well, and every word and deed met the requirements of everyone's lady. But this kind of Yuchen is like a template, but it makes people feel that it is not very real.

When they arrived at the Princess Mansion, Yuchen and Yuxi boarded the oil truck together. Originally, he should have met Princess Qingyang first, but since the princess went to the palace, this procedure was avoided.

The two went directly to the garden. As soon as they entered the garden, Yuxi saw a girl walking over.

The girl who came over was wearing a ponytail, on which was inserted a peony hairpin inlaid with silk and hard gemstones, and two oriental pearls hung from her ears with gold threads. The material of the dress on her body is satin called Tianshuibi, and the skirt is embroidered with flower petals. The girl looks very sweet, and it is easy for people to have a good impression.

When the little girl saw Yuchen, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that she raised her voice and laughed, "Is it sister Yuchen?" Yuxi was directly regarded as transparent.

Yuchen nodded and asked, "You are?"

The little girl responded crisply: "I am Jiang Qi, sister Yuchen, you are so beautiful."

Yuchen is also dressed up today. She was wearing a crimson double-breasted cross-neck soft silk shirt, a water-blue skirt embroidered with peonies, her hair was pulled up in a small bun, and a bright green crested jadeite was inserted obliquely. There are earbuds of the same color, and bracelets of the same color on the wrist. Coupled with the peerless appearance and outstanding temperament, the beauty is unmatched.

Yu Xi looked at Jiang Qi, and those bad memories from her previous life resurfaced. Fortunately, Zisu reacted quickly, and when she saw Yuxi in a daze, she secretly pinched her, which brought Yuxi back to her senses immediately.

Yuchen has long been accustomed to other people's compliments, nodded slightly to Jiang Qi, and said, "Did Miss Jiang come here alone?"

Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "I came with my sister." The sister Jiang Qi mentioned was Jiang Yun, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

At this moment, Lord Heshou brought the maid over. Seeing Yuxi standing beside Yuchen calmly with a look of expression, Heshou County Lord said with a smile, "Sister Qi, didn't you just keep saying that you wanted to see Sister Yuchen, today I will feast your eyes .”

After hearing this, Yuchen frowned slightly.

Lord Heshou County seemed not aware that what he said was wrong, and continued: "Sister Yuchen, Sister Qingxia is waiting for my sister in the courtyard. Since I saw Sister Yuchen last time, my cousin has been talking about it! I know what you will do today! Come, Baba has come over early in the morning."

Yuchen took Yuxi to see Princess Qingxia together.

The Lord of Heshou County and Jiang Qi walked away after a few words, but in private, he called the woman who brought Yuxi in just now, and asked, "Is there anything unusual about Miss Han seeing Miss Jiang just now?" Yuxi It wasn't a coincidence that I ran into Jiang Qi as soon as I arrived at the princess' mansion, but it was arranged with Shou County Lord.

The servant girl who brought Yuxi in shook her head and said, "Nothing unusual. But Miss Jiang only talked to Miss Han, and ignored Fourth Miss Han. The slaves don't seem to care when they look at Miss Han Fourth." It will be uncomfortable no matter what.

County Lord Heshou asked with some disbelief: "Is there really nothing unusual?" If Han Yuxi was like her, her complexion would change drastically or she would show disgust when she saw Jiang Qi no matter what. There is no response, what is the situation?

The servant girl said with certainty: "No. When Fourth Miss Han saw the girl from the Jiang family, her expression was very calm, and there was nothing unusual." It was also Yuxi's luck that her back was turned to the leading servant girl when she was in a daze.

The Lord of Heshou County said to himself: "Could it be that I am thinking too much?"

During this time, Lord Heshou County also sent people to inquire about Yuxi. It can be said that the current Han Yuxi and her impression are completely two people. But if something is wrong, it seems impossible to say. Although Han Yuxi has changed a lot, there is nothing unusual about it.
