Chapter 17:

"..." Su almost didn't pat the table, squeezing the veil tightly, the nails on the well-maintained hands were a little white.
If she really did this, with Xia Lian's lesson ahead, what prestige would she still have in front of the servants of Wanxiangyuan? !
Qin Jiao narrowed his face and asked innocently, "Isn't the second aunt reluctant?"
She can't bear it? What is she reluctant to do! Isn't it clear that she made people wait for Qin Jiu? ! Su's chest was aching, and she squeezed the veil on her hand, almost squeezing out a voice from her teeth, and said, "This kind of deceitful servant should slap her mouth!"
So, after a cup of tea, the confused Xia Lian was taken to the courtyard outside Ronghe Hall and knelt down.
"Flap! Pop! Pop!"
The bamboo board hit Xia Lian's cheek mercilessly.
Xia Lian made a hoarse begging for mercy, and the sound echoed sternly in the air, spreading throughout Ronghetang.
This time, the board was hit as if it had hit Su's face. Su's face turned pale and his skin hurt.
When Qin Jiao returned to the Yuanxiangyuan, the courtyard seemed to have changed. When people looked at her, they were all in trepidation and perspiration, afraid that the next bamboo board would be aimed at them.
Qin Jiu didn't care about this.
She went back to the room and changed her clothes. At the third quarter of Chen Shi, she followed Qin Xin and Qin Sheng to the Shenghua Pavilion.
Shenghua Pavilion is the property of the Prince of Thailand’s Mansion. It is located on Heyu Street in the south of the city. It is also popular with the nobles in Beijing on weekdays. They often come here to enjoy tea and flowers.
The chanting event is only held once a season, and the ladies in Beijing are proud to receive chanting posts.
After checking the Yongxu post, the maid of Shenghua Pavilion led the three Qin sisters in.
Passing through the tea house facing the street, there is a small garden behind it. Although the garden is small, it has everything from pavilions and pavilions, and the layout is elegant.
At the beginning of October, the autumn mood is getting stronger, and the garden is full of blooming chrysanthemums.
In the northeast corner of the garden, there is an octagonal pavilion. There are already many girls sitting in the pavilion.
Most of them recognized Qin Xin and Qin Sheng, and they met each other affectionately, but when their eyes fell on the face of Qin Jiu, their eyes became subtle.
In the past few days, they have heard more or less that the Qin family of the Lord of Loyalty has recognized a girl from the village. It is said that she had lost her early years, and the Queen’s wife asked the Qin family to take it back.
They couldn't help looking at each other, thinking: Could this be the "one" in the rumors?
"Sister Xin, this is..." Princess Yingluo of the Thai Prince's Mansion looked at Qin Jiu and asked Qin Xin in a friendly tone.
"This is my third sister, with a single name with the word'氿'." Qin Xin Luoluo generously introduced Qin Jiao beside her, "It is the name given by the empress."
It really was her!
The ladies exchanged their eyes in twos and threes, all of them looked very interested.
It turned out to be really a hillbilly! She doesn't even have a serious name, and she has to come to pick it up.
The Qin family is really unlucky!
They looked at Qin Jiu with a certain degree of gaze and condescending, as if they were looking at a new gadget.
For these noble ladies, even if Qin Jiao was born noble, but she grew up in the countryside, she was destined to have an indelible barrier with them, and would never be able to merge into their circle.
To put it harder to say, no one in the capital who can be called will marry a girl like Qin Jiu!
"..." Qin Jiu was silent for a while.
She couldn't help thinking that when the original owner of the novel was just found back, it should be the same.
The original owner grew up in such an environment. He had never learned piano, chess, calligraphy, nor manners, nor did he know how to socialize. Under the background of the amazing Qin Xin, he became even more at a loss.
This pushed the desperate original owner to another hell.
However, Qin Jiu is not the original owner.
She doesn't want to get involved in the original plot, but it doesn't mean that anyone can step on her.
Qin Jiu looked back at Princess Yingluo without evasiveness.
Her apricot eyes are very beautiful, with beautiful arcs, and the eyelashes are long and dense, reflecting the dark and jade-like pupils as clear and bright, like a blue sky after the rain.
Princess Yingluo was silent on the surface, but she was slightly surprised in her heart.
She originally thought that Qin Jiu was just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, and she would cringe in front of her dignified princess. The little family was very angry, but the girl in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined.
There is a bit of agility in the elegance and grace.
Qin Jiao's calm and leisurely look made some of his gazes become distracted.
They simply stopped paying attention to Qin Jiao, and got together to talk and laugh, Weijing clearly distinguished.
One after another, many more girls arrived.
When they saw Qin Jiu's unfamiliar face, they would inquire one or two, and then they avoided her from a distance, as if they were afraid of contaminating her "countryside".
Those ladies admire flowers, chat, listen to tunes, or play with pots, laughing and laughing.
Qin Jiu leaned against the railing of the pavilion alone, feeding the fish in the pond leisurely.
Since she returned to Qin's house, she couldn't avoid this situation sooner or later. Therefore, Qin Sheng "appointed" her to come here yesterday, even if she knew that Qin Sheng wanted to embarrass her, she did not refuse.
She just went back to Qin's house, and didn't plan to lock herself up for the rest of her life.
As soon as the tempting fish food was thrown into the pool, a tail of goldfish swarmed with its tail to grab the food, and ripples on the surface of the pool followed.
"Why did Sister Sister feed the fish here?" At this moment, Qin Sheng walked over with demeanor and smiled, "Sister Sister II is painting over there, why don't Sister Sister go take a look?"
"We are all sisters. Even if the third elder sister is embarrassed, we should look at it. Otherwise, others think our sisters are at odds, do you think the third elder sister?"
Although Qin Sheng was smiling and groaning, his contempt for Qin Jiu was obvious. The several ladies around him also heard it, and exchanged eyes with interest.
"What the fourth sister said is." Qin Jiao threw the last handful of fish food out and said sternly, "Our sisters are indeed at odds."
Qin Sheng's smile instantly froze on his face.
Not far away, a girl in pink clothes couldn't help but chuckled lightly.
Qin Sheng's face became more stiff, and he said stiffly: "Are you going or not?"
Qin Jiao patted the fish food residue on his hands and said with a smile, "No."
Qin Sheng: "..."
Qin Sheng held his breath in his stomach, couldn't vomit it out, and couldn't swallow it down. He didn't want to lose his temper in front of so many people. He only felt that this person was really annoying!
Qin Sheng looked at her angrily and asked again: "Are you going or not?"
"No..." Qin Zhuo spit out the word slowly, glanced at the left front inadvertently, and saw a few figures coming from the direction of the teahouse.
Seven or eight well-dressed sons came towards this side, all of them handsome and extraordinary.
Qin Jiu just glanced casually, but saw two familiar figures among the few princes walking in the front. One was the second prince Gu Jing, and the one walking in the middle was Xiao Ze!
Qin Di was startled, his eyes widened.
That is indeed Xiao Ze!
In his brocade and jade robe, his hair was tied with a purple gold crown, his appearance was handsome, he was calm, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips, and he walked slowly with his hands behind him. There was a kind of grace and grace between his leisurely steps.
Qin Jiao looked at his gentle, extremely deceptive handsome face, and his whole body was not good.
She stood up arrogantly and said to Qin Sheng with a smile, "Okay."
At this moment, Qin Sheng was stunned.
She thought she would be rejected by Qin Jiu again! This Qin Jiu thought it out all the time. Could it be that his brain was broken?
Before she recovered, Qin Jiao had already urged eagerly: "Will you go?"
Qin Sheng was afraid that she would regret it again, and said hurriedly: "Let's go!"
The sisters had just stepped out of the pavilion, and I did not know who made a soft cry from behind, "Look at it, it's your Royal Highness..."
Qin Sheng stopped and wanted to turn his head, Qin Jiao urged: "Hurry up!"
With that, Qin Jiu quickened his pace and left Qin Sheng behind.
Qin Sheng: "..."
Qin Sheng had no choice but to quickly chase after her.
Opposite the pond is a two-story water pavilion. Seven or eight ladies are gathering in the water pavilion, surrounding Qin Xin.
Standing in front of a large red lacquered wood case, Qin Xin just collected the pen and put the Yanghao pen on the pen.
A portrait of the Queen Mother of the West is on the table. The Queen Mother of the West wears a crown of five phoenixes on her head, has long eyebrows, and is graceful and dignified, and she has an immortal style.
Several ladies gathered around to comment on the painting:
"Sister Xin's painting is really good. The Queen Mother is dignified and kind, and it looks amiable and respectable."
"Yeah, a pity of pity came upon his face."
"Sister Xin's painting skills have improved again!"
"..."
Words of praise come and go.
"Three sisters," Qin Xin seemed to notice Qin Jiao's approach at this moment, and raised his head with a smile, "I was still looking for you just now. Why don't you play with us."
Qin Jiu smiled and said nothing.
Qin Sheng couldn't wait to say: "Second Sister, Second Prince has come down."
With that said, she glared at Qin Jiao, and blamed Qin Jiao for running too fast, otherwise she would be able to lead her second prince over.
Qin Xin's eyes lit up.
She hasn't seen him for a long time since the second prince was banned by the emperor in Jianglin Palace.
She glanced at Qin Jiu calmly, her eyes deep.
She can't wait to see Gu Jing now.
