Chapter 733 735. It’s too late
Madam Xiao also reacted and raised her head, "You really didn't lie to me?"
Madam Liu and the others all covered their mouths and laughed, "Look, those of us who tell the truth are not as pleasing to the ear as the one who tells a lie.
They have mixed up the truth and falsehood, and now they are questioning us."
Mrs. Wang refused to agree, "You people, do you think that what many people say is necessarily true?
You didn't notice it just now, she really looked over here, but just glanced at it, I'm not lying."
Everyone: "..."
At this time, Mrs. Liu suddenly pointed at the door in surprise, "... there will be a good show to watch today."
At the garden archway, the person who had been the subject of their discussion just now appeared there in a very high-profile manner, surrounded by a group of maids and old women.
The unprecedentedly gorgeous clothes, coupled with the glittering headdress, made the entire garden silent in an instant.
Madam Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Oh my God, what is this show we are singing today?
Just looking at the outfit she's wearing, I don't think even all our family possessions can match half of it!"
"Don't estimate. We definitely can't get them all." Madam Wang, who was as wealthy as her, said while clutching her chest. "Even if we spend all our money to buy just one of the gems on her jewelry, we may not be able to afford it."
"It's true that Madam Gu is rich. She used to dress so modestly, just like us. I guess she wanted to accommodate us." Madam Xiao resumed her gossiping nature. "Do you think she suddenly showed up in fancy clothes this time? Is she preparing to fight back?"
"Looking at the scene, I think so." Mrs. Wang felt that staring at Jin Qianqian was a bit dazzling, so she turned to look at the maids behind her, her tone a little bitter, "Even the maids around her are dressed better than us.
Look, although it looks simple, it is covered with gems. Even the mistresses of our house may not have them. I didn’t expect that they would be used on a girl. This is too arrogant.”
"If you hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have noticed." Madam Liu and the others also noticed it at this time, "Look, Madam Xun has come over to greet us, you can see her face is a little stiff.
I've already posted a message, isn't it normal for him to come to the appointment? Now it's a bit too much to show a displeasure."
"You all know that Lady Xun works under the Governor-General. She has always followed Lady Liang's lead. She probably thought that with this relationship, Lady Gu would definitely not come." Lady Wang took a sip of fruit wine, with an expression of watching a good show. "I guess this time she flatters the horse, and today's banquet will definitely be unforgettable."
The discussion here was lively. Madam Xun had already walked to a place not far from Jin Qianqian and knelt down to greet her. "Madam Gu, I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you in person."
Jin Qianqian smiled and extended her hand to help him, "Madam Xun, I was delayed for a moment when I was leaving the house. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Everyone: "..." There was actually something on the man's hand, which dazzled them.
Madam Xun was closer and could see more clearly. She hid the jealousy in her eyes and said, "…We have just taken our seats. Madam, please come this way."
As Jin Qianqian followed her into the back garden, she did not forget to nod and greet the lady she was familiar with.
As for those who harbored evil intentions towards her and had already drawn a clear line between them, Jin Qianqian didn't even give them a single glance.
We walked all the way to the main table, which was already full.
Mrs. Xun was embarrassed to find out at this moment that she had previously determined that Jin Qianqian would not come to the appointment and had not even arranged a seat for her.
"Look at how confused I am. I'm old and useless. I could make such a mistake even when I was busy with a banquet." Even if Madam Xun disliked Jin Qianqian in her heart, she knew that what she did was not right.
Even if others don't come, as long as we don't receive any messages saying they can't come, we still have to arrange their seats.
Jin Qianqian looked at her with a smile, "Madam Xun, do you have any opinion about my ancient mansion?"
This is a huge mistake, not only targeting the female members of the family, but also dragging the men outside into the water.
Mrs. Xun was startled and could not help but look at Liang He, only to see her sitting there quietly, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
But the ladies sitting next to her kept their backs straight. They had already noticed that Madam Liang had been clenching her fists since the moment Jin Qianqian appeared.
"Hello, Madam Liang," Jin Qianqian took a few steps towards Madam Liang, "I haven't seen you for a while. Madam Liang is still as energetic and radiant as ever."
Liang He tried her best to make her smile less forced, but her words made people feel bitter, "Madam Gu is so radiant..."
The two of them were almost the same age, and in order to cater to Governor Liang's age and status, she had been wearing dark colors in recent years. She also liked these bright and dazzling colors.
Not to mention the value of these things, just based on the styles, it would probably be impossible for her to wear them even if she wanted to.
When I thought about not being able to dress beautifully for the rest of my life, I felt even more displeased with what Jin Qianqian was wearing today.
Jin Qianqian smiled brightly and deliberately spread her hands in front of her and turned them twice, "Madam Liang, do you think so too? I think it's a bit ostentatious."
Everyone: "…" It turns out he still has some self-awareness.
Jin Qianqian, “Originally, I planned to hide these jewelry and clothes at home and take them out to admire them occasionally.
Unfortunately, I have been busy these days and have not been able to attend many banquets. I am afraid that I will be forgotten by the ladies, so I deliberately wore it to make a splash and make a deeper impression on everyone."
Everyone: "..." Please, just keep it for yourself!
After today, I will probably feel like I’m lacking clothes and jewelry when I go back home.
Madam Liang: "...I am quite impressed, but Madam Gu is a little too ostentatious..."
Jin Qianqian raised her hand and said helplessly, "I also think these jewels are a bit ostentatious, but after all, these were designed by our Lord Gu, and he personally hired someone to polish them. If they are always hidden in the cabinet, I always feel that I am not worthy of his kindness."
Wu Houshi asked in surprise, "You mean these were specially made for you by Master Gu..."
Jin Qianqian said proudly, "Exactly. What do you think, Madam Wu?"
"So beautiful," Mrs. Wu Hou realized that she had spoken too quickly and turned to look at Mrs. Liang He, only to see that she could no longer maintain the smile on her face.
Madam Xun had already had her things rearranged at her seat. "Madam Gu, please come this way."
Jin Qianqian looked at her meaningfully, then sat down steadily, surrounded by several older maids.
But obviously, she was not here for the real banquet. "I am late today, so I will drink three cups as punishment. I hope you can forgive me."
Jin Qianqian changed her usual low-key attitude today. She was the first to raise her glass and spoke to everyone present.
