Chapter 464: Unconvinced, secretly competing
"You came here with the eldest wife of Prime Minister Qin's mansion, isn't that Miss Qin?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"The eldest lady is my aunt." Qin Yumo understood that it was her aunt who knew her.
The Qin Prime Minister's Mansion has two sons. The eldest daughter-in-law is in charge of the household affairs. The second wife has no say at all, and outsiders only recognize her eldest aunt.
"Miss Qin, I accidentally lost my earrings. I was looking for them and wondered if you had seen them. This pair of earrings was given to me by the prince. I usually don't want to wear them." Ji Chuhe said as she looked around.
Qin Yumo immediately shook her head, "Madam, I don't see any earrings. How about I help you look for them?"
"Thank you, Miss Qin."
"You're too polite, Madam Prince." Qin Yumo replied and quickly bent down to look around.
After walking a few steps forward, she saw an earring left on the edge of the flower bed, and she immediately picked it up.
"Madam, please take a look and see if this is it."
Ji Chuhe immediately walked over, "Yes! This is it." She immediately spread out her palm, holding another one in her hand.
"It fell right here." Qin Yumo pointed to the place where she picked up the earring.
In her heart, she was a little worried that Ji Chuhe would suspect that she had taken it privately, so she pretended to have found it.
Ji Chuhe also saw what she was thinking and quickly said, "I just lifted my hair when I passed by here just now, and I must have accidentally pulled the earring off at that time! Thank you, Miss Qin."
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning, Madam, I will take my leave now."
"Miss Qin! Wait a moment." Ji Chuhe took off a scented bell from her body. "Miss Qin, if you don't mind, I'll give you this scented bell as a thank you for helping me find the earrings."
"No, I can't accept it. It's too expensive."
"Miss Qin doesn't like it?"
"no."
"Then Miss Qin, please accept it. We can be friends now." Ji Chuhe put the incense bell in Qin Yumo's hand.
"Madam, this..."
"Take it." Ji Chuhe said again, with a very sincere attitude.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Qin Yumo put away the incense bell, bowed, turned around and left.
Nowadays, every young lady of this age has a scent bell in her hand.
All the spices were ordered from Ji Chuhe’s shop.
Qin Yumo dreams of having one.
However, this incense bell plus the spices cost almost ten taels of silver!
All the expenses of the second wife have to be reimbursed. The first wife is very frugal, so there is no way she would give her so much money to buy such things.
What she was wearing and what she was wearing on her head today were all lent to her by her aunt.
Ji Chuhe’s incense bell is naturally the best kind, and it costs more than ten taels of silver.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but pull out a smile.
The thing she had always dreamed of, something she even thought she would never get in her lifetime, was given to her by someone else.
It is said that getting married is a woman’s second life.
She didn't throw well the first time.
Of course you have to be more cautious the second time!
If her marriage was still arranged by her aunt, she would not be able to find a good husband.
Ji Chuhe returned to the main venue of the banquet. The Queen was still chatting enthusiastically with Rong Qingqing. They were not mother and daughter, but they were as close as mother and daughter.
"Madam Crown Prince, where have you been?" the Queen asked while waving at Ji Chuhe.
"Your Majesty, I just realized that my earrings are missing, so I went to look for them."
"did you find it?"
"Found it." Ji Chuhe tilted her head, revealing her earrings.
"It's just a pair of earrings. Just ask the servants to find them. It's so hot, why bother going there in person?"
"It was given by the prince." Ji Chuhe responded with a smile.
"No wonder it is so precious." The queen nodded in understanding.
"The Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince have such a deep relationship, it's really enviable." The eldest lady of Prime Minister Qin's mansion suddenly spoke.
When Ji Chuhe was in Qin Xiangfu, he did not give the old lady face at the birthday banquet. This was enough to make everyone in Qin Xiangfu hate Ji Chuhe.
They didn't care, no matter what the reason was, Ji Chuhe didn't give them any face at all.
In fact, this sentence still means the same thing.
They have a deep relationship, but no children.
"The Madam and Young Master Qin have a very deep relationship. The Prince and I are still young and have a better relationship, which is not a big deal. But Madam Qin and Young Master Qin are still as close as each other at such an age. It's really enviable." Ji Chuhe replied with a smile.
This sentence points out that Madam Qin is an old clam that gave birth to a pearl.
Mrs. Qin's eldest daughter was married, and she became pregnant with twins, who were born not long ago.
Madam Qin looked unhappy after being retorted by Ji Chuhe without any expression.
"Empress, now that we have eaten and drunk enough, let these juniors perform some talents to relieve our boredom."
"This is a good suggestion." Someone immediately agreed.
The topic suddenly turned to the performance.
The younger generations present were Rong Qingqing, Qin Yumo and others.
They are all legitimate daughters, so naturally they have some talents.
It didn't take long before a program for the performance was put together.
Ji Chuhe took a special look at Qin Yumo's talent show.
Drawing.
Just like Rong Qingqing.
Rong Qingqing chose painting because among the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, painting is what she is best at.
I haven't learned anything else well.
The order of performances.
Rong Qingqing was in front and Qin Yumo was behind.
Originally, Rong Qingqing was the protagonist of the day. With the Queen's support, she only needed to paint at her usual level and it wouldn't be too embarrassing. The other noble ladies seemed to have deliberately avoided her and chose not to paint.
But Qin Yumo didn't avoid it.
Ji Chuhe took a deep breath.
It can be seen that Qin Yumo is very unconvinced.
Madam Qin didn't care about Qin Yumo and didn't even ask what talent Qin Yumo had signed up for.
Rong Qingqing painted a picture of a beauty admiring lotus.
The figure paintings are particularly vivid.
Ji Chuhe recognized that this was the back garden of the Duke's Mansion.
Rong Qingqing's turtle is kept in this pond.
In fact, what Qingqing is best at drawing is the turtle, and what she draws the most is also the turtle. Fortunately, she doesn’t only know how to draw the turtle.
When it came to Qin Yumo, the palace maid also laid out drawing paper, brushes and paints.
Only then did Mrs. Qin realize that something was wrong.
Qin Yumo has walked forward, picked up the brush and started painting.
What she painted was a majestic picture of mountains.
After the painting was finished, everyone looked at it in surprise.
This little girl looks weak and frail, but her painting skills are so superb!
In such a comparison, Rong Qingqing's painting of beauty admiring lotus seems to be extremely ordinary.
The queen's face suddenly darkened and she looked at Qin Yumo with displeasure.
"Sister, your painting is so beautiful!" Rong Qingqing immediately praised.
