There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 722

[Chapter 722 Where’s the confidence?]

Although there was a near-miss accident, the eldest princess and the wives and girls of the various families seemed not to be affected. Except for the more eyes on Daohua, there was nothing unusual about the rest.

The seats in the Princess Mansion are arranged in an inverted concave shape, and the guests can enjoy the performances of the musicians while eating.

Because of Daohua’s status as the county lord, the seats for the female family members of the Yan family were arranged fairly near the front.

Daohua ate the rich delicacies of mountains and seas on the table, while admiring the song and dance performance in the center, she didn’t care about all kinds of eyes on her.

After a song and dance, everyone raised their glasses to toast the eldest princess.

Just when everyone put down their wine glasses with a smile, Second Madam Jiang spoke again: “Miss Yan’s neat and light movements are really eye-catching just now. I think she must have deep dancing skills.”

She smiled and looked at Hui Princess Jia.

“The songs and dances of these musicians are just the same over and over again. It’s boring to watch too much. Today is the eldest princess’s birthday. I don’t know if Miss Yan would like to go on stage to cheer for the eldest princess?

” As soon as he came out, the table was silent.

The wives of each family have different expressions, and they have a new understanding of the arrogance of Mrs. Jiang’s second wife in their hearts.

Even though the Jiang family and the Yan family did not fight each other, the eldest girl of the Yan family was the county head who was appointed by the emperor himself, and she was given a title. Speaking of which, her status was even more valuable than Jiang Wanying.

But just like that, Second Madam Jiang still dared to compare people to musicians in public, and let people perform on stage for fun!

Mrs. Li was so angry that she couldn’t maintain her superficial calm anymore, and looked at Second Mrs. Jiang with an angry face.

Han Xinran didn’t expect Mrs. Jiang’s second wife to make such an attack, and the three of them, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yihuan, looked worried.

Princess Huijia was also extremely annoyed. Today was her birthday, and Mrs. Jiang made things difficult for the guests she invited, but she didn’t take her seriously.

Just when Princess Huijia was about to veto, Daohua stood up.

Daohua first blessed Princess Huijia, and then greeted other people present, and then said with a smile: “Shengping first came to Beijing, and I am not familiar with many of the rules in Beijing.

” , looking at Mrs. Jiang Er.

“The performance that Madam said is just for fun. Shengping has never encountered it before today. Since Madam brought it up, I think you and your family are very familiar with it. Otherwise, please ask county magistrate Jiang to give a demonstration so that Shengping can grow up.” Gain insight.”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Mrs. Jiang’s complexion changed, she slapped the chopsticks on the table, and looked at Daohua viciously: “Presumptuous! What are you, you dare to let my daughter perform in public!”

Daohua’s face also turned cold Now, she looked at Mrs. Jiang with a half-smile: “I am the magistrate personally appointed by the emperor. I have the same status as your daughter. You can let me perform in public. Why can’t she?”

Second Mrs. Jiang said angrily: “Performing in public is the behavior of a happy person. My daughter is a

lady of everyone. How can she do such a thing?” Why do you want me to perform?”

“Yes, my background is not as noble as the county magistrate Jiang, but now I am the magistrate of the county personally appointed by the emperor, and my wife is so persuasive. If you know it, you will say that you don’t like me, I don’t know Yes, I thought you had a problem with the emperor’s award.”

Hearing these words, the complexions of all the people present changed, and there was something more in the eyes they looked at Daohua.

Mrs. Jiang could no longer sit idly by, and stopped the second Mrs. Jiang with her eyes, and then looked at Daohua with a sneer: “Mr. Shengping’s articulation is really clever, but it’s just a joke. If you don’t want to perform for the eldest princess?” Just to add to the fun, let’s just say it, why bother to say something wrong.”

Daohua looked back directly, and said with a sneer: “It turns out that it’s a joke in the eyes of the two Madams Jiang to let the daughter of the imperial court official perform in public. I’m sorry. , This is really Shengping’s ignorance, I didn’t know that the Jiang family had such rules, it’s my fault.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pour a glass of wine, then raised the glass and looked around at the people present.

“Shengping’s ignorance spoiled everyone’s happiness, and used wine as a punishment. I would like to toast you all. I hope you don’t have the same knowledge as me.” After speaking, he tilted his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Seeing this, everyone looked a little confused.

As for Mrs. Jiang, her complexion was ashen at this moment.

What does it mean that it is a joke for them to let the daughter of an imperial official perform in public for fun?

What is it that the Jiang family has such rules?

This girl from the Yan family is so courageous, she dared to openly provoke the hostility between the other families and the Jiang family! ! !

Mrs. Jiang stared at Daohua sharply, her gaze fell on the agate ring on her left hand, and a trace of sarcasm emerged from the corner of her mouth: “Miss Yan is really amazing, she is openly disrespectful to my first-rank wife, and I don’t know you Whose power is it relying on?”

Daohua said with a light smile: “Ma’am, this is serious, Shengping dare not disrespect you, people like us who only know how to devote themselves to the emperor and do practical things for the court, only rely on you.” That loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is nothing compared to those who have received all kinds of blessings.”

As soon as these words came out, Princess Lekang and several princes and concubines also looked at Daohua, and were amazed at Daohua’s courage. Say.

The expressions of the others also kept changing.

This county lord of Shengping almost didn’t say directly that the Jiang family dared to be so arrogant because of the empress dowager and empress in the palace!

Princess Lekang looked at Daohua carefully, and saw that her face was calm and her demeanor was calm. It was obvious that she did not say what she just said in a hurry.

This is interesting, there are not many people in the capital who openly confronted the Jiang family just now.

Why is she so courageous? He is not afraid that the Jiang family will retaliate against the Yan family.

Is it because of Xiao Yeyang?

Xiao Yeyang wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Yan family. She had heard from her mother about it, but was stopped by the emperor’s grandmother.

Now that the mandarin duck ring bestowed on Xiao Yeyang by his father is worn by the eldest daughter of the Yan family, is Xiao Yeyang trying to show his attitude with practical actions?

Princess Lekang looked at Daohua again. She had a beautiful appearance, a refined temperament, and a well-mannered manner. Not to mention, she really compared the weak Jiang Wanying. If she were Xiao Yeyang, she would make the same choice.

However, if this person really dared to openly offend the Jiang family relying on Xiao Yeyang, he would be a bit stupid!

Thinking of what the queen mother told her not to get too involved with the Jiang family, Princess Lekang frowned, and slowly looked away, neither speaking for the Jiang family nor embarrassing Daohua.

The princes and concubines spent their time watching the show. They thought that today’s banquet would be boring as usual, but they never thought that there would be such a big show.

Princess Huijia was also looking at Daohua, also amazed at her boldness.

Where did this girl get her confidence? Dare to confront the Jiang family openly!

Thinking of the strangeness of the old prince Yong before, Princess Huijia didn’t want the matter to be too much trouble, so she smoothed things over with a voice, and several wives who had been friends with her quickly chatted and laughed. After a while, the stagnant atmosphere began to improve.

Daohua put it away when she saw it was ready, sat down calmly, smiled comfortingly at Mrs. Li and Han Xinran, and continued to eat and enjoy the performance.

It is almost impossible to reconcile the conflict between her and the Jiang family.

First of all, Jiang Wanying likes Xiao Yeyang, as long as she is with Xiao Yeyang, the Jiang family will be dissatisfied. The Jiang family has taken action against the Yan family when they were in Zhongzhou. Given the opportunity, the Jiang family will not let the Yan family go.

Secondly, it was because of Grandma Gu and Master.

The Queen Mother took over the glory that belonged to her mother-in-law, and the master was very cruel to the Jiang family. As the master’s apprentice, she and the Jiang family were deadly enemies due to emotion and reason.

Facing the Jiang family, if she chooses to endure, Master will probably be very sad and disappointed.

This time, she was not very afraid of confronting the Jiang family. The emperor’s dissatisfaction with the Jiang family had already shown signs when he was looking for gold mines in Zhongzhou. Her father was a pure minister, and her three elder brothers were all officials in the court. , Coupled with the relationship between mother-in-law and master, she believed that the emperor would not let the Jiang family suppress the Yan family.
