Lu Lingjun gave Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang a hairpin.
Mrs. Liu and her aunt also came over.
"Mom! Auntie! The hairpin given to us by the eldest sister!"
"It's so beautiful, and there are gems on it!"
Mrs. Liu and her aunt looked at the two gemstone flower hairpins that were extremely well made and were worth a lot of money at first glance, and their eyes started to tremble, "Can't the things your eldest sister gave you be good things?"
It's not like they haven't seen any good things before. There are some expensive and extraordinary jewelry at the bottom of the box at home, but Lu Lingjun gave these to Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang casually.
The flower hairpin is exquisitely made, and it is not the kind of fancy that overwhelms others. It is delicate and dignified, and you can tell it is high-end jewelry at a glance.
They had never worn such good things when they were Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang's age.
Sure enough, you still have to marry into a wealthy family, but those who come from wealthy families are different.
"Today's hairpin banquet, I naturally have to give hairpins to my two sisters." Lu Lingjun smiled calmly.
When Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang heard this, they all wanted to stick to Lu Lingyun.
"Big sister is so kind."
"I like my eldest sister the most!"
"I told you that eldest sister is the best."
"Obviously I said it, the eldest sister is the best among all the sisters."
The compliments came one after another, and Mrs. Liu and her aunt had different eyes when they heard this.
Ms. Liu felt that her face was filled with light, regret, and a trace of deep-seated jealousy and resentment.
Regret and regret are naturally because Lu Lingyun lived such a good life, but it was not the life of her biological daughter.
Obviously this life of wealth and splendor should belong to her biological daughter Lu Hanyi!
But now Lu Lingjun is living so well, while her own daughter is suffering hardships outside. Lu Hanyi followed Li Wenxun to the south of the Yangtze River. After a while, letters came back one after another, all telling her that her life was unsatisfactory.
Li Wenxun seemed to be a different person when he left the capital. He didn't treat her well anymore. He beat or scolded her and kept her in the house. He also asked his maid, Xiangxue, to come into the room.
When Mrs. Liu saw these letters, she didn't dare to show them to Lu's father, because Li Wenxun and his people left the capital, which means the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who can control it!
Furthermore, Father Lu would only blame Lu Hanyi, scolding her for being useless and not even being able to take care of her husband. He was still angry with Lu Hanyi, thinking that she had done it on her own and had found it on her own!
Liu's hatred!
I hate that her daughter is blind, why would she fall in love with such a man and rush to marry him! He also told her over and over again that Li Wenxun was so good.
This is really a slap in the face!
I also hate Lu Lingyun, how come her life is so good!
The more prosperous Lu Lingjun is, the more frustrated she feels!
Hate her so much!
Aunt Liu's family was much simpler. She only had one thought in her eyes when she looked at Lu Lingjun.
Hug Lu Lingjun's thigh tightly!
Flatter her fiercely!
With a little bit of Lu Lingjun's light, and a little bit of what she leaked, it was enough for their family!
When the Liu sisters pestered Lu Lingjun to praise them for their intimacy, Madam Wang stepped forward out of curiosity.
Lu Lingjun introduced her and everyone.
After greeting each other, they all got to know each other.
"She is sister Lu's mother. Mrs. Lu is so lucky to have raised such a good daughter!" Madam Wang said to Mrs. Liu.
"No matter what, it's all Lingyun's own blessing."
"I wish I were a lucky daughter! Mrs. Lu, please tell me, what did you eat when you gave birth to sister Lu, what kind of Buddha did you worship? I will also learn from it and give birth to a good daughter!" Mrs. Wang warmly put her arm around Liu. 's arm.
An embarrassed smile appeared on Mrs. Liu's face.
Aunt Liu's family changed the subject in time, "Let's go in quickly and see what lucky girls there are today!"
"Yes, yes! Let's go and take a look!"
The three of them got together and went in warmly.
Behind him, Liu Qingping and Liu Qingshuang also quickly became familiar with Du Ruo. The girls of similar age quickly talked together, and the three of them entered the garden hand in hand.
Lu Lingjun looked at the crowd and led the other maids and mothers into the garden.
Today, the hairpin banquet will be held in another courtyard.
In the good time of the Western month, the yard is full of flowers.
The invited ladies sat down early at the prepared table.
There are many tables in the spacious flower hall, and the tables are filled with exquisite snacks and tea.
As a married lady, Lu Lingjun followed the ladies to the flower hall to eat refreshments and drink tea.
The ladies who came over came together in groups and started playing around.
This time is a good time to see my little wife.
"By the way, do you know what this hairpin banquet is actually about?" A young lady wearing a goose-yellow dress asked.
"Isn't it just here to play?" said a very young girl next to her, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old.
"How old are you? Why did your mother bring you out!"
"I'm twelve years old. My mother said that at today's hairpin banquet, we will compete to see whose hairpin is more beautiful. Do you think my hairpin looks good?" the little girl said innocently.
Her words fell, causing the group of girls around her to laugh.
"Look at you, you're just a fool!"
"Your hair is the most beautiful!"
"you win!"
"Go and play with the butterflies!"
When the little girl heard what the sisters around her said, she realized something was wrong. She grabbed the young lady in the goose-yellow dress and said, "Good sister, please tell me quickly. Today's hairpin banquet, we are no better-looking than our hairpins. Compared to what?"
"You're right, it's just about who has the prettiest hair!" The woman in the goose-yellow dress gently poked her forehead. She looked at the ladies drinking tea over there in a low voice, "Those ladies are looking at their daughter-in-law. Your hair is so beautiful, you will be chosen as their little wife soon!"
The little girl's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in a panic, "Why are you not looking at flowers, but looking at people!"
Her words made the girls around her giggle again.
Liu Qingping, Du Ruo and the other three came over and overheard their conversation.
Du Ruo frowned after hearing the reason for the Hairpin Banquet, "This Hairpin Flower Banquet is a blind date party!"
"Aruo, you don't know, do you?" Liu Qingping looked at her curiously.
"Yes, this kind of banquet where ladies and ladies gather together is actually a banquet to see their daughter-in-law." Liu Qingshuang said.
As serious official women, the two of them would receive invitations to various banquets even if their father had a low status.
Since they were eleven or twelve years old, Aunt Liu's family would often take them to such occasions. Last year, she witnessed with her own eyes that both of her cousins were attracted by others and got married.
Lu Lingjun married well, and they even vaguely hoped to be like Lu Lingjun, be favored by a noble family, and become the mistress of a wealthy family in the future.
But Du Ruo didn't know any of this.
Her aunt had deliberately mentioned it to her and taken her there before, only to tell her to refuse to escape. She didn't bother to integrate into these circles of noble ladies. Naturally, she didn't know anything.
