Chapter 56;(1/2)
Entering the Mansion
As his thoughts were racing, the carriage had arrived at the eldest princess.
There were many people coming to the banquet today, and there were many carriages parked in front of the mansion.
The status of the Xu family is now too low, so they can only stay farther away.
After the group got off the bus, the eldest princess was greeted by her servants.
After asking and checking the invitation, the servant in charge of reception had a strange look in his eyes.
He quickly hid himself and invited several people into the house very politely.
After entering the mansion, Xu Zhao, the male guest, was in the front yard. Before leaving, he told Lu Yaoyao with a fatherly expression to follow the Gao family and not to run around and bump into the nobleman.
Lu Yaoyao was also a rare follower of good deeds and did not prevent Xu Zhao from coming to Taiwan.
A good show is about to take place, and as a spectator watching the show, she will naturally not cause trouble.
"Your Highness, a member of the Xu family has fallen."
In a very grand room in the backyard, the eldest princess was leisurely sipping fragrant tea.
When she heard the servant's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Keep an eye on Xu Zhao and the Gao family. Don't interfere or stop them. Make note of all those who are involved with them."
Grandma Wang responded respectfully and was about to retreat.
"Go and invite the eldest lady of the Xu family over."
"Your Highness wants to see her?"
The eldest princess smiled and nodded.
She was also very curious about this girl who could make Prince Jin come to her home to look after her in person.
"Old slave, go and invite her over now."
"Be polite and don't be lazy."
Grandma Wang answered again.
On the other side, Mrs. Gao led the master and servant Lu Yaoyao through several doors and came to the place where the eldest princess was hosting her female family members at her birthday banquet.
There were already many people here at this time.
As soon as Gao and others appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Why is she here?"
"have no idea."
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess did not invite the Xu family this time."
"If we didn't invite the Xu family, wouldn't we still have the Gao family?"
"Although Xu Zhao has been demoted now, she is still the sister of the high minister."
Everyone nodded for a while, Xu Zhao was not qualified now, but the qualifications of Gao Xiang were still quite sufficient.
"Have you seen the girl behind her?"
"I haven't seen it before, it looks strange."
"Could it be some kind of cousin?"
"This is no cousin."
Immediately, someone turned to look at the speaker.
"Oh? Do you know Mrs. Zhang?"
"I don't know, but haven't you heard that the eldest daughter of the Xu family has returned to Beijing?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ladies and ladies immediately remembered.
"She is the eldest daughter of the original wife who was sent to the countryside for ten years?"
"It doesn't look like it."
Indeed, in their opinion, the eldest daughter of the Xu family grew up in the countryside.
As the lady of a noble family, she naturally has colored glasses towards country people.
I think country people are rough and uneducated.
But the person in front of me looks very different. Although there is no contact, it gives people the feeling right now.
Her temperament and appearance are very good, her eyes are very upright, and she is also very clear.
Facing the scrutiny of so many people, I didn't feel guilty or timid at all.
You know, even girls from aristocratic families will be more or less nervous and reserved when attending such a banquet for the first time in their lives.
Let alone a peasant girl who was raised in the countryside and has never seen the world.
Mrs. Gao took Lu Yaoyao and scanned the banquet venue. He found his wife, whom he knew well and had a good time with, and walked straight over.
Of course, I didn’t forget to greet Lu Yaoyao as well.
But when she arrived at the place where the familiar lady was, she greeted everyone with a smile, while Lu Yaoyao was left alone by her.
And those ladies and ladies who are familiar with her naturally know who Lu Yaoyao is.
She also completely looked down upon this peasant girl who was raised in the countryside, so naturally she would not talk to him.
Faced with such embarrassment, Lu Yaoyao acted like a normal person and did not talk to these people. He just found a seat and sat down by himself.
In her opinion, being able to play with Mr. Gao is not a good thing.
The ladies and ladies who had been paying attention to them all found this scene quite interesting.
Especially when he saw Lu Yaoyao remaining calm in the face of such a predicament, he gave her a high look in his heart.
"Do you know what this lady's last name is?"
Mrs. Zhang from before spoke again.
Everyone looked at her with strange expressions.
I think her question is a bit idiotic. The eldest daughter of the Xu family, what else could her last name be?
"Her surname is Lu, not Xu."
"Oh? How could it be? Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Xu family?"
Regarding the fact that Xu Zhao was a son-in-law in his early years, not many people knew about it.
And even if some people know it, they won't spread it everywhere. After all, some time ago, Xu Zhao was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and was expected to become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
There is also the elder brother-in-law Gao Xiang behind me, but I can't afford to offend him.
But now.
"I know this. I heard that Xu Zhao was just a lonely and poor scholar before he became famous."
"His first wife at that time was the daughter of a merchant family in Jiangdong. She took a fancy to his talent and recruited Xu Zhao to marry into the Lu family."
"What? Master Xu turns out to be the son-in-law?"
Those who didn't know were shocked.
These days, having a son-in-law is very shameless.
"That's right, he used to be a son-in-law. He was able to go to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination because of the full support of the Lu family."
"Otherwise, he might not even have travel expenses."
"That's not right. If Mr. Xu is a son-in-law, how could he marry Mr. Gao?"
As soon as these words came out, the original Mrs. Zhang was speechless.
And those ladies who knew what happened showed disdain.
Since then, the ladies and ladies who don't know the situation have become more and more curious.
"Mom, do you know?"
When some young ladies saw their mothers' disdainful expressions, they immediately lowered their voices and asked in a low voice.
Although they couldn't shout loudly, these ladies who knew about their daughter's inquiries still spoke in a low voice.
After a while, everyone knew about Xu Zhao's scandal.
"This Xu Zhaoya is too"
"Miss Lu is so pitiful."
Many people with good hearts couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Lu Yaoyao.
"Miss, what's going on? Why do I think these people look at you so weirdly?"
Qiu Yu is a martial arts practitioner and has sharp senses. She noticed the glances from so many people right away.
