Chapter 315 Pei Family Flower Viewing Banquet

"Don't take it to heart. Some people don't make things difficult for you unless it's your fault. It's just their nature to make things difficult for others." Qiao Yu comforted her.

Song Ci also smiled and said, "Let's go quickly."

Being ignored, Qiao Yun was almost mad as he followed behind them. Not only was it embarrassing to follow them out, but they also acted as if they couldn't see him.

It's ok to just say how precious Chunguanglan is in your heart, but you have to whisper it out loud and make others roll their eyes at you, which is really embarrassing.

She pinched her skirt, but was afraid that using too much force would cause wrinkles on the hem, and she was so angry that her pointed fingers almost dug into her flesh.

In Mrs. Pei's pavilion, a group of young ladies surrounded her and were chatting and laughing.

Everyone understood that the purpose of this flower viewing banquet was to put in their utmost effort to show themselves off.

One said that he was good at playing the piano, another said that he was good at painting, and another said more directly that he was good at housekeeping and accounting. It was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing off their magical powers.

Mrs. Pei just smiled and didn't respond. She would occasionally give a compliment. The rest of the time, the young ladies would talk on their own and she was happy to watch the fun.

A maid whispered in her ear, "Madam, Miss Shaoqing is here."

Mrs. Pei finally smiled a little more and waved her hand, "Why don't you go and call Shao Qing over here."

Although no one knew who Shao Qing was, judging from his surname, Mrs. Pei also had the surname Shao, so they were relatives.

Shao Qing was wearing a turquoise dress. She had a thin figure and fair skin. She was not a very beautiful girl, but she looked delicate and graceful, which attracted people's attention.

Madam Pei frowned, then quickly relaxed her brows and called out, "Good boy, come and sit next to me."

Shao Qing stepped forward and whispered, "Aunt."

"Well, please sit down."

Shao Qing always smiled at everyone, and since she was Mrs. Pei's niece, she quickly became familiar with everyone. In order to please Mrs. Pei, many people also tried to please Shao Qing.

When they arrived, the pavilion was already surrounded by people in three layers.

Everyone is talking.

Mrs. Pei saw Song Ci and his group out of the corner of her eye. They hadn't said anything just now, but now they joined in.

"To be honest, young ladies like you are the best. Each of you looks like a flower. I feel happy just looking at you. And you come from a wealthy family. You look like you are following the rules in every move. This is not a rule, it's not a good order."

Mrs. Pei hinted at something.

Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing who Mrs. Pei was addressing with her sudden words, and they just smiled in agreement.

Not far away, Song Ci sat down at the table with a few people, and the servants served him tea with ease.

She raised the teacup and took a sip calmly. "This tea is quite good. It's worth the trip."

Qiao Yu and Qiao Su also tried it and found it to be good tea, which once again refreshed their concept of the Pei family's wealth.

"This tea is indeed good tea."

"How much silver does this cost? I'll use it all to entertain the guests."

Qiao Yun looked down upon their behavior and could not help but stand up and walk outside. Qiao Yu frowned and shouted, "Qiao Yun, where are you going? You are not familiar with this place, don't wander around."

Qiao Yun couldn't stand Qiao Yu's nice-guy attitude, so he turned around and said, "My feet are on my body, I can go wherever I want. It's better than being ignorant like you guys."

Qiao Suo: "You! I'm trying to persuade you with good intentions, why are you talking like that?"

Qiao Yun rolled his eyes, pretended not to hear, and walked away.

Song Ci looked at Qiao Yu's somewhat lost expression, touched the pattern on the teacup with her fingers, and said thoughtfully, "Everyone has their own ambitions. She has her own plans. No matter what happens in the future, I have advised her. It has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to take everything on yourself. People choose their own destiny."

Qiao Yu finally felt better after hearing this. "Sister, you're right. I've already given you all the advice you need."

Qiao Suo had already been looking at the hot snacks and ate several pieces in a row, not caring about Qiao Yun at all.

In her heart, Qiao Yun was originally unimportant. Since there was no sisterhood, she was not even willing to do anything for the sake of face. It was really tiring.

Watching the fun in the outer pavilion, Qiao Yun soon began to talk to the ladies around him.

At first, everyone ignored her, but Mrs. Pei's eyes suddenly turned and she said, "I remember you. I saw you at the jewelry store that day."

From beginning to end, Mrs. Pei had been calm and composed except for talking to her niece and occasionally agreeing with her. But when she took the initiative to talk to Qiao Yun, everyone's attention was instantly focused and they looked Qiao Yun up and down.

"Yes, ma'am, it's me." Qiao Yun was so excited that his teeth were chattering and he could hardly speak clearly, which made everyone laugh.

"Good boy, come and sit down, and tell me about yourself."

Mrs. Pei was a shrewd person who had practiced for who knows how many times, and she found out Qiao Yun's identity through roundabout means.

When he knew that the other party was Song Ci's cousin, he was delighted. But when he learned that the other party was just from a merchant family, he could hardly hide the disgust in his eyes.

She softened her tone and asked, "How are you living in the Song family? How are they treating you?"

Qiao Yun also felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but thinking about how Song Ci had not given him any respect in front of Pei Ji that day, he said, "The Song family is very good, but......"

A smile flashed in Mrs. Pei's eyes, "It's just what."

"Maybe it's because I'm not likable, and my cousin still looks down on me."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Song Ci didn't look at them, nor did she care. She always believed that if the other party didn't provoke her, she would not take the initiative.

Chatting and laughing with Qiao Yu and Qiao Suo, the time passed very comfortably.

She occasionally glanced over and saw that Mrs. Pei just smiled and didn't move, which made her feel confused.

Could it be that they were inviting her here today just for an ordinary flower viewing party? But she quickly denied it from the bottom of her heart.

Given Madam Pei's personality, it wouldn't be that simple. She tried to slander me in public. If I didn't have evidence, I'd probably be arrested on the spot and have the blame turned against me.

This time it won't be easy at all.

Mrs. Pei suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of which, Pei Ji has been having trouble finding a marriage, and my master and I have been worried."

Everyone pricked up their ears, knowing that the highlight was finally here.

We were all unmarried young ladies, so no one dared to respond to this question.

Mrs. Pei continued to talk to herself, "He has a bad temper. He won't allow others to make decisions for him. But he's getting older. Others her age are already fathers. I can't stand by and watch him act so recklessly. So today, I wanted to find him a suitable partner."

As soon as the words fell, everyone smiled shyly.

"By the way, I heard Pei Ji is very close to a young lady. I wonder if you know her?"
