Chapter 895 Attending the Wedding Banquet 2
Everyone started talking again. "I heard a wealthy businessman named Bai has come to Shengjing City. Could it be the Bai family? The Bai family is very generous and has a lot of money... Madam Bai has been shopping in all the major stores lately. She's very generous!"
When they heard that they were rich, everyone looked at them with more respect. Bai He came with Madam Bai and Qin Yunyan. Bai He was invited by General Shang to have a drink. Madam Bai brought Qin Yunyan to the women's seats, which caused a sensation.
Mrs. Shang, who was accompanying her, was stunned at first when she saw the newcomer. A subtle scorn flashed across her eyes, and then she quickly smiled. "Oh, Mrs. Bai, welcome, welcome. It's true that hearing about her is worse than meeting her in person. Mrs. Bai has such a wonderful temperament!"
Mrs. Shang really couldn't say anything to praise her beauty, because Mrs. Bai was indeed not very pretty and was old, but it was true that she was rich.
Mrs. Shang sneered at the man who wore gold hairpins and gold rings all over his head and hands, saying that he was so vulgar and not afraid of being robbed.
General Shang's Mansion has a high status in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it can be said that it has both fame and fortune, but the women in the Shang Mansion cannot dress as exaggeratedly and ostentatiously as Madam Bai.
On the other hand, the women around her kept calling her mother. Everyone felt strange. How could Madam Bai give birth to such a beautiful daughter?
Qin Yunyan looked like a shy lady from a noble family. She pursed her red lips slightly and had an extraordinary temperament.
At this moment, Mrs. Bai was overwhelmed by the sudden enthusiasm, and for a moment she was mixed in with the women again.
Mrs. Bai started to promote the Bai family's rouge and powder again. Perhaps because she was rich and had a beautiful daughter, the women and girls present all came to her to gather around.
The Bai family's mother and daughter became even more popular for a while.
Mrs. Bai looked like a petty person who had never seen the world. Qin Yunyan's eyes flashed with contempt, and she called out softly, "Mom, where are you going?"
You have forgotten what your husband told you. You are not here to sell rouge and powder today. You are here to attend a wedding banquet. Why do you keep pushing your blush and lipstick?
Qin Yunyan pinched her wrist, and Mrs. Bai immediately understood. She was also a little nervous. She had just embarrassed the Bai family!
She unconsciously adjusted the golden hairpin on her bun to hide her guilty conscience.
Just as the woman was about to ask about the type and color of the lip balm, Madam Bai suddenly stopped smiling and said calmly, "I'll ask the shopkeeper to introduce it to everyone."
The phrase "my wife" creates distance between everyone.
Qin Yunyan thought: The Bai family must give people a feeling of being rich and mysterious, so as to attract everyone's attention.
Mrs. Shang glanced at Mrs. Bai. She was indeed a woman from a merchant family, full of the smell of money. She wanted to pretend to be a lady but couldn't. She couldn't pass the test of temperament.
Jiang Fenghua raised the tea bowl and took a sip. She saw through the interaction between Qin Yunyan and Madam Bai but did not say anything. They were indeed a very interesting pair of "mother and daughter".
Jiang Fenghua suddenly said to Madam Bai, "Madam Bai, why didn't you bring Yuhan with you? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little bit."
Madam Bai glanced at Qin Yunyan with a forced smile, then quickly knelt on the ground and replied, "Her Majesty, Han'er is not feeling well, so she didn't come."
Jiang Fenghua asked Hongxiu to help Madam Bai up, and then said, "Madam and I are here to attend the Shang Mansion's wedding banquet today. There's no need to be so formal. Please stand up and sit down!"
Madam Bai felt flattered and nodded quickly, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Fenghua then said to Qin Yunyan, "Miss Bai, come sit with us! You are indeed prettier than your sister, but Yuhan is more lively than you."
Jiang Fenghua called her "Yu Han" all the time, as if they were really friends.
"Thank you, Queen."
Qin Yunyan didn't know how to respond, so she sat obediently aside, her posture very proper and upright.
Mrs. Shang raised her eyes high. No matter how beautiful she was, she was still a merchant's daughter, an inferior creature who could not be put on the table. She had a foxy face and she just wanted to seduce men.
How could the queen be so polite to a woman like her?
Mrs. Shang did not go to the hunting grounds because the Shang family was holding a wedding banquet, so she did not know that Qin Yunyan wanted to seduce the emperor. She just saw that the men present were staring at "Bai Zhiyan" and looked down on her because of her low status.
Mrs. Shang only heard: "Does Miss Bai have a younger sister? The Queen seems to be very familiar with the Bai family's daughter."
Jiang Fenghua said, "I and the Bai family's youngest daughter have been friends for many years. The two sisters have opposite personalities."
"Really?" Madam Shang continued, "Now that the Queen has mentioned this, I'm really eager to meet Miss Yu Han. She must be a very good girl, even better than Miss Bai, for the Queen to think so highly of her."
Qin Yunyan could clearly see the strangeness in Madam Shang's eyes. She smiled and said, "Zhi Yan's personality is indeed different from your sister's. She is more lively and active, and her smile is as warm as the sun." She had also been a concubine in the palace before, but it was a pity that she was stupid and did not seize the opportunity.
Mrs. Shang was stunned for a moment and said nothing more.
After all, Qin Yunyan is not a real merchant's daughter. She is also the daughter of an official. Her conversation and knowledge are quite compatible with those of the noble ladies.
For a time, her conversation attracted everyone's attention. No one expected that a businessman's daughter would have such temperament.
Jiang Fenghua always had a faint smile on her lips. She did not comment on Qin Yunyan. In her previous life, she defeated Su Tingwan and became the favorite concubine with power in the harem. Her son became the emperor. Regardless of whether the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed or not, she stood in the highest position.
The wedding banquet began one after another, and the sound of drums and music could be heard outside the door, creating a lively scene.
I only heard someone shouting: "The bride is coming, the bride is coming..."
Everyone was attracted by the noise outside and ran out to watch. This was not the first time Shang Hong got married. The marriage between the Shang and Shen families also caused quite a stir in Shengjing City.
Although the daughter who married into the Shen family was a concubine, she was more precious than the legitimate daughter of an ordinary family. Just by looking at the ten-mile-long dowry and the long wedding procession, you could tell that this was a grand wedding banquet.
Madam Shang and Queen Jiang took their leave and followed her out. She was very satisfied with the marriage with the Shen family, and her lips and eyebrows were full of smiles.
Mrs. Bai also wanted to see how the wealthy families married their wives. She moved her butt again and again and glanced at Qin Yunyan.
Qin Yunyan just felt annoyed and smiled, "Mother, go and see the fun too!"
Madam Bai said quickly: "Alas!"
She ran faster than a rabbit, as if she was afraid that Qin Yunyan would go back on her word.
Jiang Fenghua sat steadily in the main seat. She drank tea carelessly and thought about Helan Yanran in her heart. If she saw such a scene, she would probably be filled with resentment and heartache to death!
