In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 110 The Eldest Miss of the Xu Family

Obviously this thing is so delicate and small, but each one of them is even more precious to everyone.

Some people don't even take them out, they just go out and say they have some at home.

As soon as this thing came out, people all over the capital were guessing what kind of treasure it was. However, those who owned it treasured it too much and none of them would take it out. Instead, it made it more mysterious and made people in the capital guess endlessly.

At the banquet at the Earl of Yongyi's mansion, normally not many people came because of her relatively low status. However, since she had just won the diamond, many ladies of higher status couldn't help but show off, so the banquet suddenly became lively today.

"Did you know that there were a lot of diamonds in the palace some time ago?"

The person who said this was the wife of the Duke of Qi. A few days ago, Qi Feixu was scolded at a banquet, so everyone in her family felt very ashamed and confined her to her house for a whole year and she was not allowed to go out.

However, the lady felt that if she stayed at home and dared not go out, she would seem too useless, so she waited until someone was planning to hold a flower-viewing banquet and hurried over.

"Who doesn't know about this thing now? Everyone in the capital knows about it now. Many concubines in the palace don't have it. We ordinary people don't even have the right to see it."

The wife of the Earl of Yongyi was not expecting to see the wife of the Duke of Qi, and was naturally very happy. She knew that the wife of the Duke of Qi might want to be complimented, so she continued to speak along with what he said.

"Oh, I heard a few days ago that some of the most prominent people in the capital were rewarded by the emperor with one of these. It's not big, but it's better than nothing. I heard that this thing was given by a witch, so it must bring good luck."

This statement was ambiguous, as if those who did not obtain diamonds were shameless, but the vast majority of people present certainly did not have any, so no one responded.

The lady of the Yongyi Earl's Mansion seemed to be looking at the lady of the Qi family when she said this, and her words fell to the ground, feeling a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly said:

"I know what you're talking about. After all, this diamond belongs to the Imperial Master himself. Ever since it was received from the miko, I've heard it brings real luck. It seems to be the hardest thing in the world."

The wife of Marquis Yuanzhong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"What do you think is the hardest thing in the world? If we talk about the hardest and most worth preserving, it is naturally the love that my husband has for us."

He originally said this to distract Madam Qi from her topic, but he didn't expect to give her an opportunity to climb up the ladder. Seeing her beaming with joy, her big teeth showing in her smile:

"That's right. Isn't the most precious thing in the world our husband's love for us? But this diamond is also the hardest thing in the world, not to mention its value is so high. If my husband is willing to give it to us, doesn't it symbolize his love for us?"

Just as she was saying that normally everyone would be reluctant to take out this thing, she stretched out her hand and found that it was just a one-carat diamond ring on his hand.

If this thing was to be given as a reward to the nobles in the capital, it would be considered a relatively small amount, but most of the people here were from the marquisate and the national service, so it was enough for him to show off his power.

Just now everyone was feeling uncomfortable with her display, but when she actually took out the diamond, everyone held their breath and couldn't stop looking over here.

No one has ever seen such a shiny thing. Even the icy jade bracelet, no matter how transparent it is, is not as beautiful as this. Some people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"I never thought there would be such a shining thing in this world, as beautiful as glass, but glass can't be compared with this at all."

It was as if all his provocative words had fallen on deaf ears and disappeared into thin air, and everyone had been captivated by the gem in front of them.

If it were just a gem, it would be fine, but it also symbolizes the good luck brought by the witch. Add these two together, who can not be extremely eager for such a magical gem?

"Of course, we don't normally take this out. We keep it well packed away. Today, I just thought you might not have seen it before, and I was afraid that if you saw a gem like this in the future, you wouldn't be able to recognize it, so I took it out to show you."

No one exposed his arrogance, but they all complained in their hearts, saying that it was just a diamond, so what was there to brag about?

But everyone changed their minds and thought that if they could have such a diamond, they would also be proud of it. It was just that they really couldn't stand the behavior of the Duke of Qi's family. They were so ostentatious in doing other things on a daily basis.

Not long after, someone suddenly came knocking on the door. In fact, the flower viewing party had just started not long ago.

"Can I come in? Sorry, I'm late."

The person who said this was Xu Qingyin. Actually, he didn't want to come to this banquet today, but apart from the banquet he held at his own home, not many people in the capital held banquets.

In fact, her mother had always wanted her to move around more in the capital, because Master Xu naturally trusted his daughter's daily behavior and appearance. However, no one had held any banquets in the capital, and there was no opportunity for her daughter to go out and negotiate more.

Today, the Earl's Mansion finally held a banquet. Although the official school is of a lower level, since his daughter has just arrived, if she participates in this slightly lower-level banquet, everyone will respect her more, which can reduce her pressure and is a good choice.

However, he only got the news this morning. Because he didn't give his family the rest of the day, he knew from the beginning that Xu Jia would definitely not come to such a small party. Therefore, Master Xu learned about it through some news on the street.

Because of this, Xu Qingyin arrived late.

Xu Qingyin had come today simply to get to know these people. She herself enjoyed socializing, and as a modern person, she didn't approve of the practice of categorizing people into different classes. The Earl's Mansion was the Earl's Mansion, and she had no intention of looking down on it.

But she never expected that she would meet Qi Feixu's mother here.

Before she could say anything, she heard the woman's sarcastic voice:

"Oh, who am I thinking it is? Isn't this the eldest daughter of our Xu family?"
