Chapter 201 At the Banquet
Chapter 201 At the Banquet
The women were talking so much that their mouths were almost smoking, but Jian Yue still looked like she didn't understand.
Mad!
Bah! You are so stupid, you deserve to be disliked by your parents.
Several women got up and left.
Jian Yue also got up and walked around.
My butt is numb from sitting and my ears are buzzing. These women are too noisy.
Xie Chujiao cast a gloating look. She didn't pretend to be a loving mother and filial son. So what if she was not on good terms with her stepdaughter? How many stepmothers in the world get along well with their stepchildren? It was embarrassing for her, and it was even more embarrassing for a young lady who had just come of age to be disliked by her stepmother. In the future, it would affect her in-laws.
Jian Yue gave her an unfathomable smile in return.
gloat?
It's a bit early.
Jian Yue had never worn such gorgeous and complicated clothes. When she walked, she always felt that she was dragging and uncomfortable. When she passed by Xie Chujiao, she smoothed her wide lotus leaf gauze sleeves.
Xie Chujiao was now heavy and fat like a Maitreya Buddha. Although she was now fat and ugly and had a strange smell, the ladies of various families still tried to suppress their disgust and complimented her.
While Xie Chujiao felt inferior, she also learned how to attack herself.
What's the fear of being fat? What's the fear of being ugly? As long as she has power, who dares to discriminate against her or laugh at her?
In the front yard, Yan Xiuyuan also received compliments and congratulations from his colleagues. The promotion in position, plus the fact that he had a daughter who was granted the title of a princess by the emperor, was enough to make him enjoy a moment of glory that others envied and hated.
Yan Xiuyuan's face was flushed with rosy glow, and he looked very proud.
squeak……
Following a long and melodious fart, the guests seemed to have paused, and the various actions they were performing were frozen. The expressions on their faces were very interesting. They were eating with a smile, but at this moment, they didn't know whether to swallow the food in their mouths or spit it out.
squeak……
Again!
The ladies, who had not yet had time to compose their expressions, could no longer maintain their forced demeanor and politeness, and turned around and vomited loudly.
Xie Chujiao, the instigator, was so embarrassed that her face turned green. Her farts were not only loud and long, but also very smelly. The key point was that she couldn't control it!
At this time, Jian Yue had long disappeared.
Since Xie Chujiao deliberately didn't give her face at such a banquet, then everyone should forget about shame.
Xie Chujiao's intentions were obvious. So what if she was a princess? Without the protection and love of her family, she was still a bachelor. She was sending a signal to outsiders: Even if Jian Yue became a princess, she would not be welcomed by her family. So, whoever wanted to bully her could do so.
What happened at the banquet today would soon spread to the capital. As you can imagine, in a capital city full of officials, what would a princess without family support mean to her? Anyone who wanted to bully her could come up and step on her.
Xie Chujiao's intentions were extremely evil.
For a woman who always wants to annoy her, Jian Yue also wants to make her stink like rotten fish and shrimp all the time.
Xie Chujiao didn't just lose herself, but also her family and friends behind her. As for Yan Xiuyuan, when he chose to stand on Xie Chujiao's side, Jian Yue knew that the father-daughter relationship between her and Yan Xiuyuan could be broken at any time. So, she didn't have to consider his face.
The banquet ended hastily in an awkward atmosphere. When the guests left the mansion, they were so fast that it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing them.
Yan Xiuyuan was furious, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on.
This time, Jian Yue chose Fuyun, Fuwu, Fuliu, and Muxiang. She planned to come back within a month and conduct rice improvement experiments.
All seven medicine boys were sent to the farm to look for some special plants needed for rice improvement.
Yun Zhonghe and Doctor Mao also followed.
Doctor Mao was simply worried about Jian Yue going to Beijing alone. In his opinion, Beijing was full of evil spirits, and if a little girl had no one to protect her, she would be bullied to death.
Yun Zhonghe received a letter from home saying that the man's poison had been cured, so he no longer had to avoid suspicion and could return to his family.
Jian Yue didn't plan to live in Shangjing permanently, so she asked Muxiang to pack only a few bags and take a set of pots and stoves and some rice, flour, cooked food and vegetables.
No matter where you go, food and clothing are of paramount importance.
After arranging all the affairs on the farm one by one and calling the owners of the three shops to give instructions one by one, Jian Yue took her own medicine box and medicine-making tools, and the group set off in three carriages.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, so we had to hurry up to cool down. Jian Yue's carriage met the carriage of the mansion lord at the city gate, and then they set off together.
Yan Xiuyuan and his wife only brought some valuable gold and silver jewelry to Beijing, and left the rest in the mansion. Anyway, the mansion was bought by their family, and someone was left to guard it.
Even if they tried to travel as simply as possible, they still had more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages.
The motorcade left Yanling Prefecture and headed for Shangjing along the official road. The car was not going very fast, and Jian Yue was in the mood to lift the car window curtains to enjoy the scenery at first, but then her neck became sore from stretching, so she leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Muxiang had never seen the world, and everything she saw on the way was new to her. Unfortunately, no one shared their experiences with her. Fuyun sat at the door of the carriage, also dozing off with his eyes closed.
At noon, the vehicle stopped under several big trees to rest.
On the fifth and sixth days of the lunar calendar, one person built a simple stove, while another went out to collect firewood. Fuyun went out to find water.
Jian Yue got off the carriage, and Mu Xiang also got off the carriage slowly with a bitter face.
It was okay to ride in the carriage at first, but after sitting for a long time, my legs became numb and it was bumpy, and the experience was not so pleasant anymore.
Yan Xiuyuan came over from the front: "Yue'er, let's eat together!"
Jian Yue simply refused: "No, I will eat with the two masters."
Yan Xiuyuan greeted Yun Zhonghe and Doctor Mao again.
"Mr. Mao, if you need anything, send someone to my place to get it."
Doctor Mao nodded slightly: "Okay."
"Mr. Mao, when you get to Beijing, go live in the Shangshu Mansion! In his letter, my elder brother sincerely invited you to stay there for a while."
Doctor Mao waved his hand and said, "No need. I will go live in Yue's princess's mansion."
"I heard from my eldest brother in the letter that the Princess's Mansion is still under renovation and I'm afraid we can't move in."
"It's okay. If I don't have a place to stay, I'll go talk to the emperor. It's not impossible to stay in the palace for a few days."
Ok!
Yan Xiuyuan looked at Yun Zhonghe again: "I don't know if Mr. Yun..."
"I go home."
Yan Xiuyuan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Then congratulations to Mr. Zhou for returning home."
Yun Zhonghe nodded and didn't want to continue chatting.
Yan Xiuyuan left tactfully.
Jian Yue and Mu Xiang found a secret place to relieve themselves. When they came out, they ran into Xie Chujiao.
Xie Chujiao had three "swimming circles" on her belly, and her thighs were now thicker than her waist before. It was difficult for her to walk even with the help of two sturdy maids.
Four personal maids used cloth to build a makeshift toilet for her. When she entered the toilet, she saw Jian Yue coming. She paused, as if she wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks. But in the end, she just snorted...
