Chapter 27 5 Family Banquet
Before traveling through time, Song Qingci had never participated in any Buddha's birthday ceremony.
She even avoided temples and Taoist temples, for no other reason than that she believed that my fate was determined by me.
It can be said that she lacks the most basic respect for all the gods and Buddhas. When she needed salvation and help, no god or Buddha came to help her...
When he returned to Chixiao Courtyard, Feng Yi was waiting at the door, very respectful.
"You are here." Song Qingci said casually, inviting him into the house.
After Song Qingci sat down, Feng Yi took out a large stack of books and handed them to Yin Xing, "This is some basic information about the second-class families in the capital."
Although she did not go out of Chixiao Courtyard these days, she did not really just lie there and do nothing.
She asked Feng Yi to find her information about the noble families in the capital. A few days ago, the first-class noble families were delivered. Today, the second-class noble families were delivered.
On the surface, although they are all living nobles, there are also first-class and second-class nobles among them, which is tacitly acknowledged by everyone. For example, the General's Mansion is a first-class noble family. The ancestors have made great contributions for generations, and ordinary people dare not offend them easily. Even though Shan Li is now unemployed, no one dares to jump in front of him.
Another example is the Song family, which is just barely qualified as a third-rate family. The family is not wealthy, and the family house is not prominent. There is no support from the ancestors, and the family relies entirely on Song Yuelin to support the family. In modern terms, the family's ability to resist risks is too poor. If something happens to Song Yuelin, the Song family will not even have anyone to save him.
Song Qingci read these things just to understand her current situation more quickly. Isn't there still someone who wants her life that hasn't been found yet? After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
The person who poisoned the people with arsenic was not found, and the clue was lost in a woman named Yuanniang. After searching for so long, there are only two possibilities. One is that she left the capital long ago and fled far away. The entire Dachen Kingdom is not small, with a population of tens of millions and dozens of cities. If she was hiding intentionally, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find her. Another possibility is that she died long ago and was killed to silence her. It is very likely that her body is gone. In this case, it is even more impossible to find her.
However, Song Qingci was more inclined to the second possibility. How could someone who wanted to secretly do something so kind be so kind?
Although the clues are broken, we can't just sit there and do nothing. There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days.
Song Qingci wanted to take advantage of his free time now to read more information so that he wouldn't be like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere.
Only by focusing on the target can efficiency be maximized.
As soon as the wind died down, Yinling came in with a bowl of sweet water.
Because of Yin Qiu's matter, Chixiaoyuan has been very orderly and well-organized recently.
Yinping was in charge of the general affairs of Chixiao Courtyard and was very busy. Apart from coming to report things, she seldom came to see Song Qingci.
Yinling also found her place. She liked to stay in the small kitchen and cook some food. She found that the young lady was very greedy now. She liked to eat all kinds of delicious food, so she prepared it for her every day.
Song Qingci picked up the sweet water and calmly tested it with a micro-detector. After seeing that it was safe, she put it into her mouth. Her movements were skillful and quick, and she also cheated in space. Even the magician with the fastest hand speed would be defeated after seeing it.
Song Qingci was still very cautious as long as the hidden dangers were not eliminated. Although the people in the small kitchen had been replaced by Shan Li again.
After drinking the sweet water, Song Qingci let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"Yinling, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. Keep it up. I'm counting on you." Song Qingci joked. She hadn't forgotten what Zheng said to her. If Yinling remained as she was, she could give her to Shan Li when she left the general's mansion. As for whether Shan Li wanted her to be a concubine or something else, she had no control over it.
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam." Yinling was very happy that her hard work was not in vain. Madam liked what she made very much. She wanted to go and make something else quickly.
After Yin Xing put away all the things, she reminded Song Qingci, "Madam, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and there will be a family dinner tonight. Do you need to change your clothes before going?"
Yes, this is her first family dinner after she got married, so she must attend. As for changing clothes, there is no need to do that. She thinks her current outfit is pretty good. She doesn't like wide-sleeved dresses, but prefers tight-fitting styles with narrow sleeves. It's convenient for fighting.
''No need to change, it's fine. I don't feel any inconvenience.''
Yin Xing hesitated, not knowing whether she should say this or not. After all, the young lady didn't seem to like people who talked too much.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Judging from her expression, she'll suffocate if she doesn't say it.
After getting permission, Yin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam, I think it's better to dress more formally when attending the family dinner."
"My outfit is not formal?!" She has been wrapped in several layers. She used to be able to show off her bikini on the beach.
Yin Xing shook her head, looking disapproving, "Madam, the ladies of the capital are all beautiful in being dignified and elegant. Take the other ladies of the general's mansion for example, look at what they usually wear, all of them are gorgeous and extraordinary. Only you, Madam, basically wear plain clothes every day."
Speaking of this, Yin Xing still has some resentment. She is now the young lady's personal maid, and it is her responsibility to wash and dress up every day, but the young lady doesn't like to dress up. She knows many kinds of gorgeous and beautiful buns. But until now, she has never combed her hair once.
"Is this still plain?" During this period, she has gone from wearing only a hairpin to wearing a hairpin, necklace, earrings, bracelets and rings. Is this still plain?
"Of course. Look at the headgear that the old lady gave you today. It's really gorgeous. I think the old lady gave you this because she thought you were too plain on weekdays." Yinxing nodded rapidly.
"Grandma, do you mean that?" "Forgive me, I really don't understand."
I have lived twice, and I have never paid attention to dressing up. In the past, I didn't have the energy. It was hard to live, so I didn't have the heart to think about these things. Later, I didn't have the time or the need. The training of [Lingxiao] is not acceptable to ordinary people. I don't have enough time to sleep and rest every day. When I go on a mission, I usually wear a specially made uniform.
Even when you are an ordinary person living in the city, freedom of dress and freedom of appearance are the mainstream ideas. No one will care about you.
Oh, being a woman is so troublesome, no matter in which time and space.
