263 Thick-skinned and easy to handle
Qiu Jixuan glanced at Linghu Hongxi sitting next to the old lady, and lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu'er sat down next to Linghu Hongxi, but heard Linghu Hongxi speak,
"Miss Qiu, sit down." Linghu Hongxi signaled that Butler Tang would add a seat between him and the old lady, while the other side of Linghu Hongxi was sitting was a full moon.
Zhao Yu'er stood behind Linghu Hongxi in embarrassment. The little self-indulgent movement just now also caused others to cover their mouths and laugh at me.
Zhao Yuer's face suddenly turned red, neither moving forward nor retreat.
Qiu Jixuan turned her head and looked at Zhao Yu'er, took a sensible step back, and said softly,
"Miss Zhao, please."
Logically speaking, although the Qiu family is not an official in the court, it is also the largest household in Jiangnan. What's more, Qiu Jixuan is also a reincarnated spirit girl who was hosted by Xiangguo Temple. Her status is naturally not an ordinary person. But she is not arrogant because of her favor. Instead, everyone is polite and has a gentle manner. Even Linghu Quan admires Qiu Jixuan a little.
The full moon's gaze fell on Qiu Jixuan's face. Seeing that she always had a gentle and gentle smile, she had no disgust and hostility towards Zhao Yu'er, which made Zhao Yu'er even more helpless.
"Miss Qiu is polite. You are the old lady's distinguished guest. Please sit down. Yu'er also wants to greet other guests."
Zhao Yuer made an excuse and took a step back. When she turned around, she looked sad and melancholy.
Where did she have any guests to greet?
She has been living in Kyoto with anonymity. She has only been back to the Marquis’ Mansion for a few months. Where can she have any friends? Her only sister is sick and she hides today.
Only she knew the bitterness of her heart.
The old lady snorted coldly in her heart. In such an occasion, Zhao Yu'er dared not say a word of nonsense.
After Qiu Jixuan sat down, everyone gave her a kind look of appreciation. Zhao Yuer's performance was also generous and commendable.
If the second wife before was once very versatile, then Qiu Jixuan was a typical example of the soft diamonds that made her meet her fingers.
But when Qiu Jixuan met Zhao Yu'er, although Zhao Yu'er was more gentle than Qiu Jixuan, Qiu Jixuan became tough and soft, leaving Zhao Yu'er helpless.
This birthday was handled by Zhao Yuer inside and outside. In the end, all the popularity was snatched away by Qiu Jixuan. Zhao Yuer couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she could only sit awkwardly beside Aunt Wu in the corner.
Aunt Wu seems to be cautious, but in fact she looks down on Zhao Yuer. Although Zhao Yuer is from a better background than her, she has not even given birth to a child for Linghu Hongxi. After all, she has a pretty daughter. What does Zhao Yuer have?
Halfway through the dinner, the old lady praised Qiu Jixuan, but never mentioned Zhao Yuer.
After a brief trance just now, Linghu Hongxi returned to normal, but Qiu Jixuan had already sat beside him. Linghu Hongxi could not drive people away. Besides, Linghu Hongxi also knew that Qiu Jixuan was a reincarnated spirit woman. Linghu Hongxi, who had been studying Buddhism, had just a few short sentences, and quickly found a common topic with Qiu Jixuan.
Qiu Jixuan was extremely smart. After only one year at Xiangguo Temple, she was not afraid of talking to Linghu Hongxi, a person who had studied Buddhism for more than ten years.
Linghu Hongxi already admires the gentle and talented woman, and this makes her look at Qiu Jixuan even more impressed.
Qiu Jixuan seemed to understand that the more she talked with Linghu Hongxi, the easier it was to attract jealous and suspicious eyes, so she did not neglect others from beginning to end. Whether it was Chunyue, Linghu Quan, Wu Niang and Zhao Yuer, Qiu Jixuan responded steadily.
Although Zhao Yu'er was jealous, she sighed that she was not as good as her.
But Man Yue just lowered her head and smiled slightly, and didn't say much.
This is someone chosen by the old lady. She has been gilding a year in Xiangguo Temple. How could this first appearance make a mistake?
The old lady showed a long-lost smile on her face, and then she quickly winked at Qiu Jixuan.
Seeing this, Man Yue's heart sank. Although she didn't speak, she guessed the old lady's intentions.
In this occasion, no matter what, Linghu Hongxi will give the old lady three points of shame, and if Qiu Jixuan spoke, some things would naturally be more suitable.
Qiu Jixuan glanced at everyone, then looked at Linghu Hongxi with some curiosity, and a soft voice emanated.
"Mr. Marquis, why didn't I see the second lady? The young lady met the second lady at Xiangguo Temple three years ago. It was raining at that time. The young lady didn't bring an umbrella and almost slid down the hillside. The second lady took me into the carriage to shelter from the rain. It was raining heavily that day. If the second lady had not reached out to help, I was afraid that the young lady would not be able to sit here now. Speaking of which, the second lady was still the life-saving benefactor of the young lady!"
As soon as Zhao Yu'er spoke, Man Yue felt her eyelids twitch.
This is the old lady’s idea again!
This story is composed, which is equivalent to giving Linghu Pingxue a golden halo!
First, he used everyone's identity as the reincarnated spirit girl to make everyone praise Qiu Jixuan, and then asked Qiu Jixuan to pick up Linghu Pingxue, so that he could gold Linghu Pingxue's face was to let Linghu Pingxue appear in front of everyone again.
Linghu Hongxi's face froze at first, and then after hearing Qiu Jixuan's words, there was no suspicion on her face, but instead she felt a little sigh.
"This matter - Pingxue's child has never said it. In fact, it's just a small task. Miss Qiu really doesn't need to be too polite." The reason why Linghu Hongxi can say this proves that his dissatisfaction with Linghu Pingxu has been reduced a lot. After all, he is a daughter who has been pampering for fourteen years. Now that he suddenly doesn't meet, Linghu Hongxi's heart is empty.
The old lady sighed lightly. Although her tone was very light, it was enough for Linghu Hongxi to hear it.
Linghu Hongxi couldn't help but look at the moon. Seeing this, the moon couldn't help but smile, raised her head and greeted Linghu Hongxi calmly.
"Father, my daughter is actually very fond of her second sister. My sister was sick a while ago and she was in good health. Why don't you let my sister come here together tonight? There are so many people, aren't it?"
As soon as the words from the Full Moon came out, Linghu Hongxi was relieved.
Linghu Quan had a cold face, obviously he didn't like Linghu Pingxue yet.
The old lady looked at Man Yue with some surprise. The saoba star and the second room were incompatible. How could she agree so easily?
The old lady was muttering here, but Linghu Quan gently patted the back of the Moon's hand and whispered in her ear.
"Girl, you don't have to be so accommodating and aggrieved. It's okay to be polite to that Qiu Jixuan. She is a guest. I'm afraid that they will not change their nature to the second house."
Linghu Quan's concerns naturally have her reasons.
Man Yue understood that she was doing it for her own good, but if the show was not performed in front of her, how could it lead to everything she designed! Let Linghu Pingxue come out to take a breath, I'm afraid she will have a few days to breathe.
Although I think so, the full moon cannot say so.
"Aunt, can't you see that my father misses my second sister too? Although it's the old lady's birthday today, the Month wants to make my father happy. The eldest brother's affairs are enough for my father to be sad. It's not an exaggeration to give my second sister a chance now. As long as my father is happy, the Month wants nothing else."
The Moon looked at Linghu Quan seriously, his voice was very low, but it was enough for Linghu Hongxi beside him to hear it for 70% or 80% of the time. What she wanted was this effect!
Linghu Hongxi felt a little wet after hearing the words of the Moon.
As a result, I remembered what was wrong with Linghu Pingxue before, but I didn’t really want to see that uneasy daughter.
Linghu Quan shook his head helplessly when he heard the words of the Full Moon.
"Auntie knows that you are filial. As long as they are well-behaved, I will naturally not say anything."
"If you have an aunt on the full moon, you will naturally feel at ease."
Man Yue looked at Linghu Quan with a smile. She admired her skin now. She obviously wished that Linghu Pingxue would not disappear completely, but she could still persuade Linghu Quan with great sincerity, which made Linghu Hongxi red in her eyes.
She could not do it in her previous life.
The old lady was always observing the full moon's every move. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to Linghu Quan, the displeasure on the old lady's face also appeared.
When Qiu Jixuan enters the door, sooner or later she will remove this damn saoba star!
"Butler Tang, go and invite the second lady."
Linghu Hongxi finally let go, and the wrinkles on the old lady's face slowly relaxed.
Before, it was said that the second wife was bedridden, and Linghu Pingxue was exhausted and fell ill day and night, so she could not attend today's dinner.
After scenes a few days ago, Linghu Hongxi ordered a ban, and no one could mention it. The marquis's mansion was silent, and the matter of the second house was naturally not revealed. Li Jingtian had always wanted to find an opportunity to come to the marquis' mansion, but because the emperor kept him, Li Jingtian did not find an opportunity either.
As Butler Tang went down, a light purple figure came to the entrance of the hall.
As she slowly walked into the hall, the air around her seemed to condense for a moment.
Linghu Pingxue was dressed up completely in a carefully decorated dress with a light purple long dress with green pleated skirt with flowers and mist, and a thin smoke gauze of the same color. She was the most popular style and material among the daughters of the Kyoto family in early autumn this year. She looked light and her eyes were full of spring, her skin was as thin as cream, but she also had a gentle glow as jade. Her cherry lips were not touched but red, and her beautiful eyes slowly drooped, as if she was not in the world. Her eyebrows were flawless and beautiful, delicate and boneless, but gentle as orchid.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were taken away by Linghu Pingxue.
The old lady looked at the scene in front of her with satisfaction.
Her choice will never be wrong! Pingxue was cultivated and selected by her hand. It is brilliant and sensation no matter where she goes! This is the effect she wants.
As long as she is here, the most popular person in this family is Pingxue! It will never be Linghu Manyue and others! Just like today, as long as Pingxue appears, are there any other people in the eyes of others?
