Chapter 59: Beautiful Flowers Fighting at Fuo Guo Gong Fu | Chu Wang Fei
The people looked back at the same time. They saw under the golden sunlight, Yun Qian Meng was dressed in a light purple dress. On her head were a few jade hairpins. On her ears, she was wearing the same jade earrings. Under the sunlight, she is memorable as a pearl.
Yun Ruo Xue didn’t want her words to be heard by Yun Qian Meng. Seeing that the furens and Misses in Huan Xi yuan looked at her side, her heart suddenly tightened. She was about to open her mouth, but Su Qian Yue opened her mouth first.
“Su fu’s Qian Yue greets Miss Yun. Nice to meet you.”
Su Qian Yue stands in the middle of the pavilion. Dressed in a light blue dress, make her clean and fresh like a lily. The white and delicate skin became clearer under the warm sun, making people’s eyes shine brightly.
This time hearing her soft but polite voice, those furens who have an adult man that has yet to marry at their homes, quickly looked at Su Qian Yue.
Yun Qian Meng saw that someone is helping Yun Ruo Xue, her eyes couldn’t help but look at Su Qian Yue. She smiled lightly: “Xiangfu Qian Meng greets Miss Su. Nice to meet you.”
The two people’s smiling eyes touched each other. It aroused numerous sparks. Outsiders just noticed that the two Misses conduct were proper. But compared to the Yun Qian Meng whose engagement has been cancelled, the satisfaction that the furens have towards Su Qian Yue is obviously greater. But also because of Fu Guo Gong Fu’s face, they didn’t show it too obviously.
“Everyone should sit down! When the birthday banquet starts, even if you want to sit, it’ll take a while!”
At this time, being the eldest daughter of Fu Guo gong Fu, Qu Fei Qing came out to smooth things. She pulled Yun Qian Meng towards some Misses, whom have a good relationship with her and didn’t bother any longer with Yun Ruo Xue and Su Qian Yue.
“Che, such behavior! Doesn’t even know her own appearance and dare to give Yue jiejie a hard time! Bah!”
A round faced young lady in the pavilion stared at the backs of Yun Qian Meng and shouted that to please Su Qian Yue.
“Die er, you can’t be rude. After all, she is your Xue jiejie’s eldest sister. When those people heard the words you said, I don’t know what evil will come out of it.”
Su Qian Yue saw that someone is speaking for her, smiled and pulled the little girl who has yet to get the hairpin. She appeased her.
Yun Ruo Xue glanced at the little girl who just spoke. Seeing that she is the daughter of the of the Vice Minister of Justice and Su Qian Yue’s father is the Minister of Justice, she knows why that little girl wants to please Su Qian Yue.
But no matter who wants to please Su Qian Yue, it doesn’t have anything to do with Yun Ruo Xue. It’s just that hearing someone scold Yun Qian Meng aloud, will make Yun Ruo Xue’s heart happy. The smile on her face came up again. She sipped the tea in front of her.
After Su Qian Yue advised that Miss, she didn’t speak anymore. She let the few people at her side continue to whisper and denigrate Yun Qian Meng. And she is drinking the tea in front of her. It’s just that the eyes that are looking outside secretly, stared at Yun Qian Meng’s back. They revealed a hint of gloat.
“Fei jiejie, where did you hide just now? We were looking for you for half a day!”
Several ladies who stood at the side of a pond enjoying the scenery saw Qu Fei Qing coming with Yuan Qian Meng, so they laughed.
“Meng er, come, greet Du Cha yuan left imperial censor1 Shi family’s Miss Qin. She is my friend.”
Qu Fei Qing looked laughing at the lady who just spoke and introduced Yun Qian Meng.
Yun Qian Meng looked over and saw that the lady of Du Cha yuan left imperial censor Shi family has a face of justice. With one glance, she knows that she is a great learner and has been influenced by Qin daren2.
This Qin daren is also an illustrious figure in Xi Chu. Since emperor Xi Jing was reigning, he was already Du Cha yuan left imperial censor. For decades, this man has been upright and honest. He never bowed to the powerful. He got the praises of the world. Even His Majesty respects and favors this nearly seventy year old imperial censor.
Qin daren is not only strict towards himself, but his family is also honest and innocent.
Yun Xuan Zhi has been an official for so many years, but hasn’t been promoted. It’s must been because of Qin daren repeatedly saying that Yun Xuan Zhi’s principles aren’t right. It let Yun Xuan Zhi’s career be stagnant for years and he couldn’t do anything about it.
But, Yun Qian Meng saw that the eyes of this Miss Qing have a rare touch of righteousness. With a glance she knows that this lady is different from others. Her heart also felt happy. She is willing to be friends with this kind of people who behave well and do right.
“Yun Qian Meng greets Miss Qin!”
Yun Qian Meng bowed slightly to Miss Qin. Her eyes smiled with gentleness.
“I don’t deserve this! Miss Yun, wishing you that all will be well.”
That Miss Qin is also a rare sensible person. Seeing Yun Qian Meng’s sincerity and she (YQM) is also being introduced by a close friend, she guarded less against Yun Qian Meng. She also bowed slightly to Yun Qian Meng. The two people’s personalities are on one line.
Qu Fei Qing saw that Yun Qian Meng and Qin Yi An hit off well, her heart also felt happy. She led Yun Qian Meng to the other ladies to say hello: “This is the Minister of Rites’ family’s daughter Chen Cong Yan. This is the Minister of Personnel’s daughter Han Yin Bo. This last one is the head of Imperial Hanlin Academy’s3 granddaughter Guan Si Rou.”
Yun Qian Meng looked over. These young ladies are the phoenixes among people. Each has an overwhelming appearance and outstanding auras. Their bodies are covered in the air of nobility. It showed their extraordinary background and their good upbringing.
And these ladies felt that this woman whose engagement has been broken off is of a lower status. But seeing Yun Qian Meng now, elegant and refined and with good manner. She also has a trace that can’t help but let people admire her. Facing with everyone’s ridicule, she didn’t get angry, but laughed freely and her face always has a smile. They concluded that this legitimate daughter of xiangfu is a strong woman. They fear that Chen wang has lost a pearl.
Thinking like that, those ladies’s impressions of Yun Qian Meng improved greatly. Everyone said their greetings to Yun Qian Meng. Everyone stood at the side of the lake and talked.
“Don’t know what they’re talking about that they are so happy? Are those people not afraid that Yun Qian Meng will bring their reputation down?”
The daughter of the vice minister of justice who just scolded Yun Qian Meng looked curiously over at the lake. She saw that the sparkling surface of the lake reflected the reflections of the ladies. It was really beautiful, but it also let the one who considers herself very beautiful, Xing Jin Die got really jealous. A pair of small hands held the tea cup tightly. Her eyes exuded jealousy and anger.
Naturally, Su Qian Yue also noticed the happenings over there. The originally proud eyes couldn’t help but flash surprise. Seeing Yun Qian Meng talking with the Misses of Minister of rites, Minister of personnel and Hanlin Academy, Su Qian Yue felt that her heart tasted sour.
Her father is the Minister of Justice, an official of the second rank. Normally, the relation between the six ministers is good. Each one’s work is also a complement of the other’s work. But the minister of rites and the minister of personnel don’t have many works together with father, let alone any friendship. So Su Qian Yue is also not familiar with the two Misses of those homes. But now, the Miss of xiangfu, Yun Qian Meng whose engagement has been broken, is getting along with these two the moment they met. How can Su Qian Yue swallow this anger?
“Ruo Xue, you’re Miss Yun’s meimei, how can you continue to sit here? We should also go chat with those Misses and get to know each other.”
Su Qian Yue finally couldn’t sit still anymore. She stood up, put down he
r cup of tea and said that with indifference.
Yun Ruo Xue saw that Su Qian Yue has stood up, so she looked up at her. She saw that in her biaojie’s eyes is faint flash of anger. So she knows that Su Qian Yue wants to go over to teach Yun Qian Meng a lesson. She immediately nodded and escorted Su Qian Yue down the pavilion. Step by step they arrived at the lake.
“Don’t know what jiejies are talking about that you’re all so happy. You should say it to let meimei also laugh.”
The person hasn’t arrived, but the voice has already arrived. Yun Ruo Xue pretty voice slowly went into the people’s ears. At the same time, it also interrupted Yun Qian Meng and the other’s talk. They closed their mouth and quietly watched Yun Ruo Xue getting closer to them.
“Su fu’s Qian Yue greets Miss Qin, Miss Chen, Miss Han and Miss Guan. You, Misses don’t come out much, we haven’t seen each other many times. But father worked with uncles. We should also get to know each other.”
Su Qian Yue saw that those people didn’t welcome their arrivel, so she spoke first laughingly to not give the others an opportunity to refuse.
“Su fu? So, it’s the Minister of Justice’s family daughter. Really have heard a lot you. Miss Su is quite famous among the Misses of Jingdu. Seeing you today, you are tenderer than flowers.
Qin Yi An saw that Su Qian Yue didn’t have any good intentions, so she calmly opened her mouth. It’s just that the pair of eyes has a slight touch of sarcasm in them.
Coming from the Censorate’s family, Qin Yi An of course, knows the matter between Su Qing and Yun Xuan Zhi. She also felt regret for the unlucky Qu Ruo Lin. And that person of Su family still dares to come over and interrupt them. This let Qin Yi An who always has a good temperament become displeased. That’s why she said those words.
Su Qian Yue heard the sarcasm in those words. She laughed at them as if it didn’t matter.
“Hey, why are you speaking like this? If you want to praise someone, you should do it better. With an expression of wanting to die, other people will think you won’t live long anymore.”
That Xing Jin Die couldn’t tolerate others insulting Su Qian Yue. She stepped forward, pointed at Qin Yi An’s nose and roared. This roar attracted many eyes.
The ladies that were together with Qu Fei Qing recognized the daughter of the vice minister of justice. They know that this Xing Jin Die is a pillow. She is treating people like this, but is unaware that she has been used by Su Qian Yue. They smiled cheekily and ignored her. After all, they don’t need to bother with a little vice minister’s daughter. Lest to reduce their status and also not to let the other people present think that they are using power to pressure people.
But Xing Jin Die didn’t think like that. Seeing that no one was bothering with her, she got angry. Thinking that at home, she is the pearl that everyone holds in their palms. Now everyone is ignoring her, made her get really angry. She was so angry that she burst into tears.
With that, everyone’s eyes turned to this side. All the furens and Misses are pointing at Xing Jin Die with a little dislike.
Yun Ruo Xue didn’t think that it would turn out like this. Yun Qian Meng hasn’t spoken one word but still made their people cry. This is really going too far. She said harshly: “Why do jiejies bully Jind Die, a child? Da jiejie, after all, you’re someone who was engaged. Although later the engagement has been broken off in public, but you once had a marriage, how can you be like a child with no knowledge? Now, don’t it seems that jiejie doesn’t even have the slightest grace?”
Qu Fei Qing didn’t think that Yun Ruo Xue as Yun Qian Meng’s meimei, will still bully her elder sister on such an important occasion, although she normally bullies Yun Qian Meng at home. In her eyes emerged anger.
At this time, a figure in purple moved forward. Slowly, she walked to the front and stood face to face with Yun Ruo Xue. Yun Qian Meng’s eyes carry a light smile and there can’t be any anger detected. The arc of the mouth is perfect. Under the brilliant sunshine, that white skin is flawless. She seemed like she came from a painting, making people dazzled. Yun Ruo Xue couldn’t help but also stare.
“Meimei’s remark isn’t right. In Xi Chu, we respect the elders and love the youngsters, but Miss Xing has said some ugly words to Miss Qin. If we should say who is at fault, then Miss Xing was at fault first. And meimei is insulting the eldest sister in public, which is the second fault. Meimei didn’t care about xiangfu’s dignity and let father lose face, that’s the third fault. Meimei say, is this your fault or is this jiejie fault? Of course, the Confucius said: If the child is not taught then it’s the father’s fault. But at this time father isn’t present. Meimei did such misconduct; I as the eldest sister have wrong for not guiding you. When we return to the fu, I’ll go apologize to father and also ask for father’s forgiveness. It’s just that I don’t know what meimei should do to let father be less angry.”
Yun Qian Meng spoke each sentence slowly. The leisurely speed lets Yun Ruo Xue’s face gets paler with each sentence. It also lets Su Qian Yue couldn’t help but admire Yun Qian Meng. In her heart there’s now a higher amount of guarding and hostility against this eldest Miss of xiangfu.
“If Miss Xing continue to cry, I’m afraid that the vice minister of justice won’t have any more face. I don’t know that at the end of today’s birthday, how long the furens and Misses present will talk about your behavior.”
The people saw that Yun Qian Meng didn’t get angry, they also gradually calmed down. Miss Chen also laughed. In her speech, she was making fun of them.
Today that Xing Jin Die really dressed up like a flower from a painting. But after she cried, the sophisticated look on her face changed. She immediately pulled out a small mirror and looked. She saw that her eyes were red and swollen. She looked messy. She didn’t even have time to ay goodbye to Su Qian Yue. She ran straight to Huan Xi yuan’s door to find her maids to repair the make up.
Su Qian Yue saw that Yun Qian Meng drove her people away with just a speech, her eyes turned grim. Tight-lipped, she slowly approached Yun Qian Meng. With a full voice, she said: “No matter what, Ruo Xue is still Miss Yun’s meimei, why doesn’t Miss Yun’s logic forgive her? Putting her in shame in front of people isn’t also right for you.”
Yun Qian Meng saw those eyes of Su Qian Yue which was full of haze. She smiled and said indifferently: “I and Miss Su also don’t have any grudges. Why is Miss Su pressing harder and harder?
When these words fell, Su Qian Yue’s eyes flashed resentment. Her mouth sneered and she walked forward. She intended to pass Yun Qian Meng.
At this time, don’t know why, Su Qian Yue’s body suddenly fell into the lake. Everyone exclaimed. They didn’t react yet. They saw how Su Qian Yue fell into the lake. Yun Qian Meng suddenly reached out to pull Su Qian Yue’s skirts…..
It’s just that Su Qian Yue’s actions are too fast. Yun Qian Meng’s hands only caught the silver belt on her waist. The belt has been ripped off. While flying between a dancing skirt, everyone heard a ‘putong’sound of someone falling into the lake.
“Come, people come fast. Quickly save Miss Su!”
Yun Qian Meng was the first one to react. She quickly shouted at the maids. It’s just that the maids don’t know how to swim. They could only run in panic towards Huan Xi yuan’s door to search for people.
For a time, the virtues and graceful furens and Misses watched with frightened expressions to Su Qian Yue, but no one reached a hand to help.
Qu Fei Qing, Yun Qian Meng and several people broke branches from the side and stretched them into the lake. They intended to lift Su Qian Yue out. Nonetheless, the clothes soaked in water became heavier. The branches are too thin. Soon they were broken. Because of the reaction to this force, Su Qian Yue actually sank to the bottom of the lake.
“Yue er!”
An anxious shout came. A pale figure immediately rushed in front of everyone. Not even a moment, that figure jumped into the lake. He struggled to get to the place where Su Qian Yue drowned…�
�.
“What are you all standing for?! Rush down and help!”
Qu Fei Qing saw that an accident happened in her own backyard and none of the servants moved. They are just standing on the shore. She got angry and pointed at the lake while shouting.
For a time, dozens sounds of people going into the water sounded. After half an incense stick, did they see the people carrying Su Qian Yue who has already fainted, ashore.
That young master who first jumped isn’t even aware that his whole body is drenched. He laid Su Qian Yue flat ashore. Then is hands pressed Su Qian Yue’s abdomen. He tried for half a day and didn’t see Su Qian Yue spit out the water from the lake. It lets the man get anxious that he doesn’t know if the water on his forehead is sweat or water from the lake. They fell onto Su Qian Yue’s face. The force pressing down increased.
“Uh……”
A sound of water being spit out can be heard. Everyone saw Su Qian Yue spat out the water from the lake. That man sighed heavily in relief. He immediately took a cloak from the maid and wrapped around Su Qian Yue whose clothing is in a mess.
“Quickly help Miss Su to the guest room!”
Ji Shu Yu who heard about the accident, immediately rushed to the scene and let the maids lead the way for Su Cheng Yan.
Su Cheng Yan personally picked Su Qian Yue up. He coldly let is gaze swept over the crowd. Then did he go with Fu Guo Gong Fu’s maids to Huan Xi yuan’s door.
“What happened?”
Such a thing happened on Lao Tai Jun’s birthday made Ji Shu Yu felt unhappy.
Qu Fei Qing glared at the back of the Su brother and sister before she replied: “Mother, that Miss Su slipped down the lake herself.”
“No, it was obviously Yun Qian Meng who pushed biaojie into the water!”
Yun Ruo Xue snapped while pointing at Yun Qian Meng.
Everyone’s heart sighed. With puzzled eyes, they looked at Yun Qian Meng. Ji Shu Yu’s heart made a thump sound. She is calling bad in her heart. She is afraid that this time Meng er went into the road of the Su family.
