A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

This was the first banquet that Lin Qingyang attended after arriving in Beijing. Lin Meier said to the Prime Minister, "We must introduce Lin Qingyang to other noble ladies in Beijing."

Lin Qingyang could clearly remember that Lin Meir said the same thing in her previous life, but she and those noble ladies in Beijing joined forces to "bully" her, especially Lin Meir's good friend Su Siyan.

At that time, Lin Qingyang had just arrived in Beijing and was in poor health after falling into the water. He had never thought that these people had any bad intentions towards him. Now it seems that the people in the capital, especially these so-called aristocratic families, are not as good as those in the countryside.

After living a new life, Lin Qingyang will not be so easy to bully at this party.

Lin Meir, just wait and see!

On the day of the banquet, Lin Qingyang dressed simply. Although she came from the countryside, it didn't mean that she didn't have good things.

Lin Qingyang got up early and saw that everyone in the mansion had also gotten up early to prepare for what was to come. Many noble ladies from the capital would come to the prime minister's mansion, so they naturally could not be neglected.

The people who cleaned and decorated the mansion had been busy for a few days. Today, Lin Qingya planned to watch a play. Although many people gave Lin Mei'er face, he knew that there were a few people who really couldn't stand Lin Mei'er.

After the banquet started, Lin Meir pulled Lin Qingyang in front of everyone and gave a brief introduction.

If you don’t know, you would think they are a pair of sisters and have such a good relationship.

Lin Qingyang thought to herself, Lin Meir, your acting skills are really extraordinary with this artificial look.

Lin Meir kept holding Lin Qingyang's hand, as if Lin Qingyang would disappear if she let go.

"This is my cousin from the countryside. She has just arrived. Today's banquet is held for her."

Lin Qingyang became the center of attention.

Lin Meir then introduced the noble ladies in Beijing to Lin Qingyang one by one.

"This is Jiang Ying'er, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel."

"This is Fang Xueling, the daughter of Hanlin scholar."

"Zheng Yanmin, the daughter of the Jingzhao prefect.

"Cui Qianqian, the daughter of the Minister."

"Deng Caiwei, the daughter of the magistrate."

……

"Su Shi Su Si Yan."

Lin Qingyang listened to Lin Meir's introduction. Most of these people were good friends with her uncle. She remembered that in the previous life, many of them had also appeared in the Prince's Mansion.

However, Lin Qingyang remembered that the daughter of Duke Qing was not present at the banquet in the previous life. Why did she appear at the banquet this time?

Zhuang Weining, the daughter of Duke Qing, was a talented woman in the capital, but she seldom attended banquets in the capital. In her previous life, she had little interaction with Lin Qingyang. She only knew that her reputation was completely different from that of her brother, the prince. However, she remembered that she seemed to have died not long afterward.

When Zhuang Weining appeared here, some things were different from the previous life.

Since it was a banquet, there was no lack of food, drink and fun. There was a large open space in the backyard of the Xiangfu, which had been decorated long ago. I guess Lin Meier had prepared very well.

Lin Meir had always treated Lin Qingyang as a country girl, thinking she was all show and no substance, so she called together these noble ladies from the capital, hoping to embarrass her.

After all, how could a countryman understand the daily entertainments of the noble ladies in Beijing?

Lin Meir winked at Su Siyan, and the girl from the Su family stood up.

"I heard that Mei'er's cousin is very talented and pretty. After seeing her today, she is indeed prettier than us girls who haven't been out of the capital for a long time. Mei'er often mentions her aunt who is famous for her talent. I think Miss Lin must be quite good too. I wonder if I will have the chance to see her today."

After Su Siyan finished speaking, Lin Meir took over.

"Cousin, I also want to see your talent. During the days when my sister returned to Beijing, either I was sick or you were sick. I have prepared everything here today, so please don't refuse."

After saying this, he asked his servants to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Lin Qingyang knew that Lin Meir was well prepared and could tamper with anything.

"Slow down, sister. Writing and drawing are too common. You usually just stay in the house and do these things. Since we are all gathered here today, why not do something interesting?"

Noble ladies in Beijing not only had to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and know knitting and needlework, but they also had to learn to burn incense, taste tea, ride horses and shoot arrows.

Su Siyan whispered something to Lin Meir.

Lin Meir immediately asked the servant to go down and prepare.

I saw a few servants placing a copper pot with two handles not far away. It turned out that they were going to play tossing pots!

"My cousin's suggestion is very good. Why don't you play a game of pitching pot with everyone? There's no need to gamble. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just have fun."

Lin Meir said it lightly, as if it was just a joke, but if Lin Qingyang didn't understand anything, it would naturally be a joke.

Lin Qingyang recalled that if she remembered correctly, Su Siyan was the best at pitching pots. She always considered herself a talented woman, and she and Lin Meier were always "in cahoots". Because she was born in a low family, she could only curry favor with Lin Meier.

Lin Qingyang sighed, "These people really think I'm a country bumpkin. Although I grew up in the countryside, my mother is a talented woman, and my life since childhood is no worse than that in Beijing. I was too stupid in my last life, but I won't be stupid in this life."

Seeing that Lin Qingyang didn't react, Lin Mei'er urged: "Sister, I wonder if this game of pitching pots is good. Si Yan is also an expert in pitching pots. You two can have a competition!"

Lin Qingyang really didn't know how to react. Wasn't it just Su Siyan who wanted to be in the limelight?

"Miss Mei'er, although Su Siyan's pitching skills are good, Miss Zhuang from the Duke of Qing's Mansion is still here!"

The one who spoke was Qin Zhibi's eldest daughter.

When Su Siyan heard this, the expression on his face changed, but it was fleeting.

"Why not have a competition, just as a game, between Miss Zhuang, Miss Lin and Miss Su."

The speaker was Minister Cui's youngest daughter, and this remark was intended to fan the flames.

The daughter of the Cui family did not like Su Siyan. She looked down on her humble background and also did not like the fact that she thought of herself as a talented woman. There were many talented women in the capital, but only she was arrogant and domineering, all because of her good relationship with Lin Meir.

Two days ago, the eldest son of Minister Cui was beaten in the street, and then beaten by his father when he returned home. Now, the daughter of Cui gets angry when she sees Zhuang Weining, because her brother beat her own brother.

Although the Cui girl didn't like Su Siyan, the Cui family and the Lin family were close. Her brother was the prince's companion, and Lin Meir's father was the prince's teacher. So the Cui girl was still closer to Lin Meir.

Lin Qingyang did not object and looked at Zhuang Weining standing beside her.

Zhuang Weining walked over slowly and said, "As long as Miss Qing has no problem with it, I'm willing to do it!"
