As the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows.

Zhang Li and Geng Xiu thought they were hiding secretly, but they didn't want to, and the resentful whispers were all heard by Xie Yongqing, who was standing behind the rockery.

Hearing this, Xie Yongqing, who was originally full of disdain, changed his complexion, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a fierce light.

When Zhou Rushui and Lou Qing walked away, she couldn't wait to take her skirt and walk over, pointed to Zhou Rushui's back, and asked Zhang Li and Geng Xiu condescendingly: "The broken sister-in-law you are talking about, but is she it?"

The flower-viewing banquet is dispensable for Zhou Rushui. The major events of her life will not be lightly decided because of a banquet. But for other ambitious girls, this journey to the end of the banquet is a great opportunity to change their fate. In this way, they have to hide their own ambitions, but also seize the opportunity to be the first bird, and in the end, if they can climb a high branch, it will be in vain.

Zhou Rushui responded to Lou Qing's invitation, all because of a strange thing that she couldn't figure out. Thinking about the last time, she was confined in the Huanong Palace, and her aunt Peng called the seventh daughter Lou Xie Huan to visit her. Originally, she thought that following this scene, the Lou family was ready to make a pile of Lou Qi and her brother. But then she listened to the meaning, but the daughter that the Lou family wanted to marry was Lou Jiu. In this way, her second brother-in-law is confused! She has never seen a sister married to a family member, but she has called a sister who has not yet left the cabinet to take the lead.

What's more, after meeting Lou Qi, she inquired about the meaning of her son, Mu Sheng. At that time, it was rare for my brother not to laugh and scold her for being a little ghost and worrying about it. even had a showdown with her seriously, with the current situation, or if he only marries the Lou family, the monarch's father is the most assured.

After all, Lou Anyin is the younger brother of Queen Lou and the maternal uncle of Gongzi Mu Sheng, as a relative, he has already broken his bones with his brother and sister and connected tendons. This is a big trouble in the heart of the monarch's father, and it is also a big trouble for the old age, kissing and kissing, but it is just a regain of sores in the original wound.

But if Brother Elder Brothers marry a girl from another family, it will be really troublesome, and the daughter and brother of the Xie family will never think about it. Looking further back in this way, pick a high-ranking girl, and the monarch's father will be jealous. Looking for a low-door girl, the son Mu Sheng will be wronged. In this way, it is not as decent and caring as Lou's daughter.

It's just that, compared with the things on the façade, Zhou Rushui hopes more that under this forced contract, in this last resort, her brother can find a real person who is considerate of himself, and he can get real happiness and joy. After all, he was too bitter and too tired.

The wife of the great Sima Lou'an, the Peng family, is from the Hengyang Peng family, and the Peng family is one of the most famous families in the Lu country. The current Empress Dowager of the Lu State, Peng Hao, is the aunt of the Peng family in terms of kinship. Lou An has always respected and loved Peng, and after marriage, Peng gave birth to five sons and two daughters for Lou An. Now Lou Jiumei, who Lou wants to introduce to his son Mu Sheng as his wife, is the youngest daughter of the Bao family.

In this way, when Zhou Rushui saw the Peng family who was wearing a black and brown trimmed white fox fur cloak and looked at her under the service of the maidservant, her eyebrows bent, and she stepped forward quickly, and Fu Shen called happily: "Tianjiao has seen my uncle." ”

Although she is old, but Peng's sideburns are slightly frosted and the face can still see the shadow of youth and beauty in her youth, she was also happy when she saw Zhou Rushui at first glance, Lou Qing on the side of her white eyes, she warmly took Zhou Rushui's little hand, smiled and squinted, and said affectionately: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the little Ajiao of the Zhou family has also become a big beauty." What's the matter, your cousin didn't treat you badly?" As she spoke, she lowered her voice without hesitation, and asked bluntly against Zhou Rushui: "Ah Jiao, why hasn't your brother arrived yet?"

Peng's question, provoked Zhou Rushui to cover her lips and smile, she looked at the pretty girl who followed Peng's left and right, because she couldn't tell who Lou Jiu was, so she smiled and avoided the importance and said lightly: "Brother is afraid that he is shy, so he calls me this cheeky one, and I will meet our delicate and beautiful little cousin first!"

In this way, Zhou Rushui's beautiful eyes were slightly raised, and she already knew that the sister-in-law who looked delicate and lively, and the crescent moon eyebrows were crooked. It's just that after seeing Lou Qi who is beautiful and quiet, she really didn't expect that Lou Jiu would be an innocent and pretty girl, these two sisters really don't look like each other at all.

The snow was still falling, but the moon was strangely round. There are flowers and trees everywhere in the yard, but now it seems that there is only a white snow. Because of the falling snow, rows of neat and gorgeous silver-white tents were also erected in the courtyard, and the tent cloth blocked the flying snowflakes, and charcoal fires were burning everywhere in the tent. In this way, even though it is placed outside, it is extremely warm.

At that time, all kinds of water lanterns were hung full, and the silver wire white forgings were spread all over the seats like silver dragons, and the jade plates and gold bowls were reflected on the couch. In a short time, ambergris rose, and the wine and delicacies were also served in turn.

At the banquet, Zhou Rushui and the girls of the Lou family sat together, and they were quite obedient and avoided behind the screen. But after the banquet opened, unlike the eagerness of others, her beautiful and charming little face was full of chatter. In this way, after being stunned for a long time, she instructed the maid to add a cup of fruit wine in front of her in the midst of the sheng song, which was appropriate for the occasion.

When everyone was in high spirits, Xie Xun called Xie Yongqing. I saw Xie Yongqing with a lily bun on his head, wearing a colorful phoenix feather skirt, covered with a purple robe inlaid with enamel coral, and Shi Shiran stepped forward with a jade pipa.

At Xie Xun's suggestion, she couldn't help but bow to everyone, and said lightly: "The little girl has nothing to do today, and she is very uneasy in her heart, so she will use this song to eliminate her sins." ”

Her voice was soft and gentle. The appearance of her holding the piano alone is also beautiful, so beautiful that people almost forget her bravado not long ago.

Obviously, the scholars are like forests, but why are the people of the world only envious of Wang Xie and the romance? And why are the clansmen of the Langya Wang clan and the Chen Jun Xie clan always superior to others? It is because the sons and daughters of the Wang Xie family are extremely educated and have great manners. These two families have produced capable people for hundreds of years, and these capable people have also won the reputation of the family in different ways. From generation to generation, they have relied on their own wisdom and wisdom to achieve personal achievements, so as to open the glory and longevity of the family, so that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, so that the scenery is infinite.

If it weren't for Xie Yongqing's kick today, seeing her posture, and the reputation of the Xie family of Chenjun in front of him, even Zhou Rushui would have to look up to her. But it's a pity that among the melodious and well-informed music, all Zhou Rushui can think about is Xie Yongqing's vicious stinky feet.

In this way, when the song ended, Xie Xun praised Xie Yongqing with a smile and wrinkled his eyelids: "Ah Liu's skills are high again." Zhou Rushui snorted without thinking about it.

In the endless praise, except for the people of the Langya Wang clan who were not saying a word and were lightly interested, her sneering was very contemptuous and abrupt.

Xie Xun has been unhappy since he learned about Xie Yongqing. Xie Yongqing is his favorite daughter, and when he learned that Zhou Tianjiao beat and scolded her in public, he didn't think about Xie Liu's fault, but more and more found that Empress Lou's children were difficult and annoying.

In this way, the corners of his mouth were raised, he raised his eyebrows in the posture of an elder, and asked Zhou Rushui quite unceremoniously: "What's the matter?"

Listening to his questioning, behind the screen, Zhou Rushui rolled her eyes at the sky, she really thought: "I don't know if I can't see the skill, this palace only remembers her annoying stinky feet." Thinking like this, Zhou Rushui regretted that he shouldn't have put Xiao Wu to sleep, and he should have asked him to cry when he saw Xie Yongqing at the banquet.

Zhou Rushui was muttering, and he felt a gaze behind him. She turned around and grabbed Lou Jiumei, who was staring at her and smiling.

Xu is just now, she didn't shy away from it, after all, it was really rare to see a noble girl who rolled her eyes to the sky. However, Lou Jiu, who was snickering at her, was also embarrassed when she was caught by the main owner, she was stunned at first, and then immediately smiled. But unfortunately, it is not easy to hold back laughter. Lou Jiu's face turned red as soon as he pursed his mouth, and his black eyes revealed a bit of innocence in his life. This appearance made Zhou Rushui stunned, and suddenly, he remembered the deer that his brother hunted during his autumn hunting last year.

Zhou Rushui was silent for a long time, and Xie Xun found another excuse to attack. But it's a pity that the corners of his mouth were picked, and Wang Jian, who had just entered the table, laughed out loud first.

Wang Jian's gaze skimmed over Wang Yuxi, and glanced at Zhou Rushui quite meaningfully, and after a while, he said casually and casually under Xie Xun's gaze: "The music is the heart sound, although this song is good." But it's a pity that there is more than fragrant and not enough quiet. When he said this, he really didn't give Xie Xun any face, but he really relieved Zhou Rushui.

When Zhou Rushui heard the prestige, he saw that the person who spoke was immortal, dignified, and even sat at the same table with Wang Yuxi. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then listened to Xie Xun call him Wang Yushi with a hard press. Only then did he realize that he was Wang Yuxi's uncle, the imperial historian Wang Jian.

Zhou Rushui knew Wang Jian, but she recognized him, not because of King Zhou's kindness to him.

Wang Jian is very strange, saying that he loves power, and he worships the three dukes. He loves money, and he has countless treasures. But later, the Langya Wang clan moved into the summer, and the Liu family refused to recruit him several times, and was later forced to flee. At the beginning of summer, when others saw that he was dressed as a wolf, they deliberately sneered and asked him: "You have countless treasures in your family, and now that you are away from home, are they all wrapped?"

Seeing this, if the people next to him are afraid that they will be furious. However, it is rumored that Wang Jian laughed, and only took out a scroll of the "Propaganda Table" from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "At that time, I fled too quickly, and I forgot everything, so I only brought a scroll of calligraphy with me." To this day, Zhou Rushui looks down on him, and thinks that he is the real family spirit when he is born like a king.

Now, he happened to be relieved, and Zhou Rushui felt very relieved. She smiled lowly, and after a while, she unceremoniously got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Just as the notekeeper said." ”

When she said this, she was simply faceless and skinless, and anyone with a little brain could know that this was not the case at all. In this way, everyone in the Xie family was like a fish in their throats, and some of them couldn't go up or down.

At that time, between the fire and the darkness, Wang Yuxi also raised his eyes to look at her, his handsome face was unfathomable like a god, and suddenly, because of her shrewd and rogue perfunctory smile, it was as bright as the sun and the moon and the sky.

Because of his laughter, Xie Yunzhi's face sank, he lowered his eyes, waved his hand lightly and called Xie Yongqing to retreat. But Xie Yongqing had eyes again, she stood in place with the pipa in her arms, and she was hit to gnash her teeth.
