novelYang Lanting Was Born as a Servant of the Chen Family?
| ← Ch.0075 | Ch.0077 → |
Madame Gu, on the other hand, was someone who knew what was good for him.
There were a few red peonies embroidered on the brocade cloth, looking very lifelike!
A peony poem was written in the lower right corner:
The peony before the court is untouchable,
On the pond, the lotus leaves were clean and emotionless.
Only the true color of the peony,
The capital was touched by the blooming of the flowers.
She asked in surprise, "Qing Qing, you personally embroidered this?"
"Yes, Madame Gu. Because the Gu family is the most cultured family, I think it's more appropriate to give them this kind of gift."
"How rare! It is really hard for you. In this era, these things can be said to be hard to find. Moreover, this item of yours is actually Su Xiu, who has been lost for a long time."
"As long as Madame Gu likes it."
She had only embroidered a few flowers, and if she wasn't in a rush, she would have done so on a screen.
These were not much to her, as long as it was a family clan like the Chen Family that was passed down from generation to generation, they were raised according to the standards of an ancient noble family.
He would learn a little about how to talk, how to write, how to draw and so on.
Chen Qingqing's grandmother was more skilled in embroidery, so her grandfather forced her to learn embroidery later on.
"Qing Qing, who taught you your embroidery skills?"
"There just happens to be a deceased elder in the family who attends this gathering."
"Good, good, good! These things are usually fine, so you can just embroider them a little more. In the future, they will all be treasures of the country."
When the few girls beside Yang Lanting saw that she was praised by the Madame Gu, their faces became a little ugly.
Yang Lanting, on the other hand, silently sized up Chen Qingqing once again, and thought that he had some ability.
Of course, to be able to match up with people like Situ Feng and Gu Nanxi, it was impossible for him to not have some ability.
However, she did not take it seriously.
Situ Feng was extremely pleased. As expected of the girl that he had his eyes on, she was able to avoid danger.
It was always a fatal blow when everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
The atmosphere in the living room was just right. A maid suddenly walked in and said, "Madam, Young Master, the banquet is about to begin. Master wants you to come over."
Only then did Madame Gu react. Putting away the things, he said to the crowd: "Come, let's go to the banquet together."
Because Chen Qingqing wanted to look for Zhang Fangfang, he tactfully rejected: "Madame Gu, please go over first. I still have a friend who is also with me today, I want to look for her first."
After being delayed for so long, he still did not know how Zhang Fangfang was doing.
That girl was more likely to get into trouble than her.
"Alright, little girl, you must come over later!"
"Alright, Madame Gu."
Chen Qingqing was about to leave when he was pulled back by Situ Feng: "I'll go with you, you're not familiar with the Gu family."
"No need, you should just go with them!"
"Alright then!" Be careful."
"Right."
Yang Lanting looked at the intimacy between the two of them and frowned, then followed Madame Gu to the banquet hall.
When Chen Qingqing found Zhang Fangfang, he saw her arguing with a few girls in the crowd.
His guess was right, Zhang Fangfang really seemed to be more of a nuisance than her!
Everywhere he went, trouble would follow.
She frowned as she walked over, and saw that the girl who was arguing with her was actually Zhang Lanlan.
Zhang Lanlan was not someone to be trifled with. It was not because of how powerful she was, but because she was a brainless person.
"Did you hear that? Either change your clothes or get out of the Gu household! "Don't let anyone see you wearing the same clothes as me!"
It turned out that he had bumped into a shirt again.
What a coincidence!
He had casually picked out two evening gowns, and both of them had run into each other's clothes.
He only saw a troubled look on Zhang Fangfang's face: "I'm sorry, Qing Qing helped me pick this out, she will come and find me later, I'll leave once she arrives."
"Humph!" It's that ugly Chen Qingqing again, why is there her everywhere I go? "
"Oh?" "Who did the ugly bastard say it was?"
Zhang Lanlan turned his head and saw Chen Qingqing. He subconsciously blurted out: "I was talking about you!"
After saying this, a few snickering sounds were heard from the surroundings.
Zhang Lanlan reacted and glared at Chen Qingqing fiercely, and said angrily: "Chen Qingqing, did you make her wear the same clothes as me?"
"Absolutely not, Zhang Lanlan, I had no intention to go against you, before I came here, I never expected that it would be such a coincidence, the evening gown I was wearing also clashed against Yang Lanting's shirt."
"Yang Lanting? Big sister Yang, she actually came back? "
"Yes, he's with Madame Gu and the rest now."
"Really? Then I must hurry over and find her, otherwise, she will definitely forget about me."
Having said so, she turned around and left with her lackeys, completely forgetting about the matter of the collision.
Chen Qingqing thought to himself, who exactly is that Yang Lanting person? Was her charm that great?
Furthermore, she was as deep in love as a mother and daughter with Madame Gu. Furthermore, Gu Nanxi and Situ Feng had placed extra importance on her.
What a formidable figure!
"Qing Qing, why did you take so long?" I'm almost scared to death by them. Why don't we go back first! "
"What is it? He was shocked just like that? Where did all my courage go before coming here? "
"Qing Qing, I'm sorry. I know the difference between me and them now. I won't dare to think too much anymore."
Anyone here could crush her with a finger.
However, the people here didn't like to pinch people to death. They only loved to bully and humiliate others, making them extremely embarrassed.
"I might have to wait a little longer. I promised Madame Gu that I would attend her birthday banquet."
"Alright then. However, Qing Qing, you must come with me. I'm afraid."
After being struck like that, Zhang Fangfang returned to her original state, becoming the timid and cowardly girl from before.
Chen Qingqing subconsciously frowned: "Fang Fang, be bolder. With me here, it's okay, are you hungry? Let's go eat something."
"Mm, I'll go with you."
After the two of them ate some food to ease their stomachs, the banquet officially began.
Madame Gu said a few words of thanks to the Gu family's guest, and then began the first opening dance of the night.
After the dance ended, Gu Nanxi and Yang Lanting took the lead and danced the second dance.
Many people in the audience gasped in surprise as they broke out into a flurry of discussion.
"This is Yang Family's daughter, Cloud City's number one beauty.
"That's right, she's a good match for the son of the Gu family."
"I heard that the two families are engaged to have children, I wonder if that's true."
"You actually believe that? Since young, that daughter of Yang Family has been the focus of many families, and they all want to betroth a child to her. Situ Family, Gu family, Lan Family, practically any family with a son would want to betroth a child to her."
"So popular?"
"Of course, although the Yang Family is not one of the five great clans in the Cloud City, it is still a mysterious background that came from a noble family in the capital."
The aristocrats that migrated over from the capital?
However, there was no aristocrat with the surname Yang in the entire capital? Even a second-rate, third-rate aristocratic family had never heard of anyone with the surname Yang.
Thinking of this, since Chen Qingqing was bored, he sent his grandfather a short breath.
"Grandfather, does Beijing have a family with the surname Yang that can move to Cloud City?"
The capital's Cang Lan Mountain.
Chen Family the old man looked at the message his granddaughter sent and couldn't help but sink into deep thought.
Yang Family?
There were no families with the surname Yang in the capital, but they had a family of servants with the surname Yang that was passed down from generation to generation.
It's just that many years ago, he was kicked out of the Chen Family due to a mistake.
Almost dozens of years had passed, and if he didn't mention it all of a sudden, he would have forgotten about it.
But he couldn't confirm that it was them, so he called the butler over and asked, "The family servant surnamed Yang who was kicked out of the house that year, where did he move to?"
Because it was too long ago, the butler thought for a while before replying, "It seems to be in the south?"
"Coincidentally, the Cloud City is also in the south. Do you think it's possible for it to be them?"
"Since they call themselves aristocrats who have migrated from the capital, there should be no one else other than them. If this was the previous generation, those si ers would have long been sent to the border to suffer, and they would have just caught up with the society under the rule of law. The Old Master was a soft-hearted man, so he had to remember his old friendship and give many things before chasing them away."
"Are you sure it's them?"
"Why don't this old servant go and check again?"
"Sure, but I have to remind Qingqing first. I think she might have encountered some problems."
Thus, after around ten minutes, Chen Qingqing received his grandfather's reply.
"According to the guesses of your Steward Grandpa and I, it should be the servant our family kicked out of our house dozens of years ago."
A servant? No way!
Yang Lanting's entire body was emitting the aura of a noble daughter, it was completely unlike how it should be!
"Grandfather, are you sure? That daughter of Yang Family, looks like a lady from a noble family. Many people here in Cloud City like her."
"What's there to be surprised about? Her family's ancestors were raised as mama with Chen Family, so it's nothing to nurture a lady out of a noble family." However, Grandpa is reminding you, that family is not righteous, so it's best if you don't befriend them too much! "
"I understand grandpa. I'm just a poor girl right now, but they have such a great background. That's why they look down on me!"
"Nonsense, my grandson's daughter's true self can't even be compared to Guan Shiyin's Bodhisattva in the mortal world."
"Alright, alright. Grandpa here is participating in the banquet. I won't talk to you anymore."
Just as Chen Qingqing put away his phone, he saw a person standing in front of him.
That person teased, "You're finally done?"
It's Lu Hefeng. He actually came today as well.
"Hur hur, senior. You're here too!"
Just as Lu Hefeng was about to speak, he heard a voice from his side: "Chen Qingqing, can I ask you to dance?"
It's Lan Yiyang!
The heck, he actually came as well.
At this time, Situ Feng also walked over.
Seeing that Lu Hefeng and his wife were surrounding Chen Qingqing, she frowned and said: "Qing Qing, let's go, we're going to dance."
Lan Yiyang stopped him and said: "Sorry, I invited Chen Qingqing first."
Chen Qingqing was embarrassed, what kind of day was this? All of them?
"Competing in sequence? I told her I wanted her to go to the first dance with me tonight."
"Inviting a girl to a dance requires a gentleman, not a casual greeting like yours."
"That's the way we get along. Lan Yiyang, it's none of your business!"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Chen Qingqing quickly said: "I'm sorry, I've already promised Senior Student Lu that I will accompany him to the first dance. If you guys want to dance, then line up.
