Chapter 385: Going to the Banquet (1)
Previously, after many tribulations, the family escaped death, and only then did they buy a house in the remote Jinyuan County and reunite with the family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Yang Wang's shrewdness, but for the first time to manage the huge family business, manage so many people, there is no mother-in-law on the top, in the mother's house, although it is a concubine, but the parents died early, the little aunt also encountered an accident, and then followed Fan Yang Wang's family, that couple is very good to Yang Wang's family, but after all, they are concubines, this kind of thing to be the housewife of a big family, they can't think of it, how can they teach her? Besides, the adoptive parents themselves are side branches, and they don't have the courage to teach their daughters how to be the housemothers of a big family to manage a family.
Therefore, Yang Wang's family, Mama Zhou, and Yunzhu were busy for a while before they restrained the maids and maids they bought.
During this period, Jiang Chengzi also helped to designate the rules and regulations of the six rooms, and personally selected the big girls in each room to train them hand-in-hand.
This toss has been going on for several months, and the descendants of the Yang family's sixth room have a rule.
But even if it was a rule, if it wasn't a big mistake, the Yang family's six rooms would not be punished so severely. Therefore, although the rules of the six rooms are formulated, the implementation is much more relaxed.
Jiang Chengzi didn't realize that a small move by his subordinates could lead to countless incidents with a small word.
But now, she has only been back to the ancestral house for two days, and she feels that the management of the Yang family's sixth room is still too lenient and too kind to people. This can still be mixed in the countryside of Shuzhong, if you go to Chang'an in the future, it is absolutely impossible.
Jiang Chengzi is worried about this matter, and Abi is born as a king of Shu.
Jiang Chengzi endured it before, but he finally got angry. She thought: Or go to Chang'an, and then it will be too late to teach these subordinates with good qualifications. Chang'an, that is a place where the wind is surging, will definitely not give you the opportunity to prepare.
So, she was the first to get angry with her big girl.
Yes, the first thing a subordinate has to understand is who his master is.
After she got angry, she didn't let Abi get up, only asked other maids to comb her hair for herself, put on the selected golden silk peony hairpin, wore a full-breasted skirt, and wore a shawl, and then said to Abi who was still kneeling on the ground: "You are my big girl, don't say it's Chang'an, even in Shuzhong, there are many people who pay attention to you." If you are careless in words and deeds, you will cause a big disaster for the Yang family. This time, you are getting carried away. Today, you are not allowed to eat, but kneel here and think. ”
When Ah Bi heard that the ninth girl was allowing her to stay in the sixth room of the Yang family, she knelt on the ground obediently.
Jiang Chengzi came out with her makeup properly and asked the well-behaved second-class girl Bitao to accompany her to the old lady's banquet.
She wore a purple streamer skirt and a silk shawl covered with clouds and mist out of the courtyard, and Li Ke had already dressed up and sat in the hall drinking tea. He was dressed in a dark red robe, a silk and silver thread embroidered sash with auspicious clouds. The hair was not tied with a hood on the head, but the hair was neatly tied with a golden crown hosta.
He was holding a cup of tea and looking out the window, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on him. Jiang Chengzi leaned on the door and looked at him, only thinking that this person was really good-looking.
Li Ke turned around coldly, with a smile on his face: "Awake?"
"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi was tiptoeing to admire the beautiful man at sunset, but he didn't expect to be caught, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
He didn't let her go, and walked over in three or two steps, followed by his unique fragrance, which rushed straight over, catching her off guard and subconsciously taking two steps back.
Seeing her uneasy, he teased her, and took another big step forward.
Jiang Chengzi hurriedly said: "It's getting late, it's time to pass, let people wait, it's always bad to wait too long." ”
"What's the problem? The king was not pleased, so let them wait. He still teased her, smiling.
Jiang Chengzi lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, surrounded by his good smell, which made her feel itchy and flustered.
"It's important to get down to business. She finally came to her senses and said seriously.
Li Ke laughed, lowered his head again, and said in her ear: "That's it, the coming day will be long." ”
Originally, this was a sentence for no reason, but Jiang Chengzi just understood it, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, stomped his feet, and said shyly and angrily: "Don't make fun of me." ”
"I'll tell you the truth. Li Ke was also serious, and he had already taken a few steps back and was tidying up his clothes.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, only calmed down his breath on the side, but his breath always rushed over as if nothing was coming, provoking her in a daze.
"You're just getting angry. Li Ke said.
"Hmm. She replied.
"Why?" he asked.
"I've only been in this ancestral house for a few days, and I feel more and more that although the maids and daughters in the six-room mansion are first-class, they are too lenient. Jiang Chengzi said.
Li Ke only listened quietly and did not speak. Jiang Chengzi paused, looked at him and continued: "If the sixth room has been in Jinyuan County, it would be fine, but my sixth room is about to enter Chang'an now." Chang'an is full of dangers, and these subordinates are likely to become a breakthrough for the enemy. If you are not careful, you will destroy the six rooms. ”
"Do you regret it?" Li Ke suddenly asked.
Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, and then knew that Li Ke meant that the danger encountered by Liufang was because of his relationship.
Regret? How can you regret it?
She is like ice, hard as iron in the army, and she can rely on a few words in the historical classics to remember a person who has been separated by more than a thousand years, almost obsessed, and often thinks that if she is by his side, she will definitely try to protect him.
Such a fascination, madness, she herself is afraid. How could she possibly regret it?
She had thought: if there are thorns in front of her, cut a way, and if there are countless enemy troops in front of her, then kill a bloody way.
Now that God has granted her wish, she is overjoyed, how can she regret it.
However, she wanted to make fun of him, so she said seriously: "Yes, I regret being with you." ”
"It's useless to regret it. He spoke firmly.
She forced a smile, still looked at him seriously, and said, "Doesn't it mean that if you love someone, you have to think about her? You see, because of you, there are many enemies in Liufang, both openly and secretly, and every step I take is extremely difficult." You just send a statement that you have nothing to do with my Yang family's six rooms. ”
"If you say that you have nothing to do with it, those people will believe it? Besides, what is it for her?" Li Ke asked rhetorically, with an inexplicable pathos in his tone.
Jiang Chengzi suddenly realized that the man in front of him had experienced two lives. In his previous life, he was his wife, and for her safety, he didn't let her get involved in the fight, so he deliberately snubbed her, but in the end he still failed to protect her. This is the place where he couldn't forgive himself in his previous life, and it is also the part he regrets the most.
She was originally joking, but it made him sad. She hurriedly said, "I'm teasing you." ”
But he still said seriously: "Even if you regret it, you have to bear it." Even if Chang'an is a tiger's den in Longtan, you have to go with me. ”
"Yes. She replied with a smile, not wanting the hard-earned time spent with each other to be ruined by this uneasiness.
Li Ke saw her smile and knew that she felt sorry for him, so he eased his face and said: "I originally thought that you entered Chang'an, and then I would tell you about the people in the mansion, but you realized from the things in the ancestral house in the past few days, so I won't say much." ”
"You don't think I'm unkind. After all, Abi is always a 'King of Shu'. Jiang Chengzi teased him.
Li Ke was in a good mood and said with a smile: "It's okay, others don't know what you think, and think that the vinegar jar in my house is overturned, hahaha." ”
"Who is jealous. She pursed her lips, but her heart was warm.
She knew that Li Ke's words were a euphemistic reminder to her: This ancestral house, just stay for a few days, you don't have to do anything to the people, and don't show your heart. And today she couldn't hold back her anger, it happened that there was his factor, so she simply let others think that it was Abi who mentioned the king of Shu, and her own girl was unhappy.
Li Ke was even happier when he saw her coquettish appearance, and then lowered his voice and said, "In two years, Fang Xuanling will make this 'jealous' incident." ”
Li Ke was reborn, and in his previous life, he also knew about 'jealousy'. Fang Xuanling's wife would rather drink the poisonous wine given by Li Shimin than let Fang Xuanling take a concubine. As a result, I drank a large bowl of vinegar. All of a sudden, the matter became a beautiful talk and a joke. The word jealousy quickly swept the country.
Jiang Chengzi also knows this allusion, but after more than a thousand years, it is impossible to record this kind of thing in the history books, so he does not know the truth. Hearing Li Ke say at this time, he was very surprised and asked, "Is there really such a thing?"
Li Ke nodded and said, "True." Don't forget, at that time, I was quite close to the Fang family. ”
He spoke, his tone a little darker.
"It's all over, Mo Ji hangs up. Jiang Chengzi took his hand and comforted him softly.
He looked down at her and said with a smile: "I didn't remember, don't worry, this time, I won't leave you outside of me." ”
Jiang Chengzi knew that the situation in Chang'an was critical, and the two were facing more dangers and tests, and neither of them was 100% sure of each other. However, when she looked at Li Ke at this time, she always felt that she was not afraid of any rain arrows and wind knives.
"Thank you. She said mischievously.
He shook his head dotingly, pointed to her nose and said, "You." ”
She smiled, glanced at the daylight and said, "Let's go." Let's see what the old fox wants to do. ”
Li Ke said "um" and opened the door for her. The two walked out of the hall together, said goodbye to Yang Wang and Yang Shuyue, and prepared to go to the old fox for a banquet.
Her parents had to tell her to be cautious in her words and deeds, and Jiang Chengzi responded one by one, and then went out of the gate with Li Ke one after the other.
At the gate, a slip of red lanterns has been hung, a cadre of guards of the King of Shu is ready to fight, and two softly decorated soft sedan chairs have long been prepared. The sedan chair bearer is not from the Yang family's ancestral house, but Li Ke's guard.
The soft sedan chair in the former Yang's six-room has long been gone, and although the big room has sent a few sedan chairs, it is impossible to be so extravagant.
"This is the sedan chair you brought?" Jiang Chengzi asked in surprise.
Li Ke nodded and said, "I expected that the old fox would invite me, so I can't let you lose face." ”
Jiang Chengzi's heart was warm, but he smiled: "Even if I go on foot, I don't dare anyone look down on my sixth room." ”
"I know. He was concise and made a "please" gesture to her.
Jiang Chengzi carried the pomegranate skirt and said as he walked: "After all, the old lady is in the inner courtyard, will it be inappropriate for you to bring the guards over?"
"Whoever cares about this, I am happy to buy it. Li Ke shrugged, walked quickly to the back of the soft sedan chair, and opened the sedan door for her.
Jiang Chengzi sat in and found that this soft sedan chair was not only beautifully decorated on the outside, but also paved with silver fox fur inside. Silver foxes are already rare, and this arrangement of the entire sedan chair requires at least seven or eight silver fox skins.
"This guy is so extravagant. Jiang Chengzi shook his head.
The two got into the sedan chair, accompanied by a guard, and the mighty team swaggered past with the red lanterns of the Yang family's sixth room, and went straight into the old lady's house.
The old lady had already prepared a night banquet, and the only guests were Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke.
"Today, I am fortunate to be able to invite the King of Shu. The old lady said with a smile.
Li Ke's expression was calm, and he said seriously: "It is indeed the old lady who is fortunate to have three lives. ”
The old lady didn't expect the King of Shu to say this, and she was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Chengzi tried her best to hold back her laughter. Li Ke was straightforward and asked, "I don't know why the old lady is holding a banquet today? Don't tell me, just invite me to a meal." ”
The old lady was quite embarrassed, smiled wryly, and then said: "Since the King of Shu is fast-talking, I won't hide it." Today, the king of Shu is invited to come to the banquet, on the one hand, it is to make amends, because of the negligence of the Yang family, so that the Yang family Yuanshu can take advantage of it, almost confused, and made the wrong person for the birthday sticker, I will do it here first as a respect, and make amends to the king of Shu. ”
Li Ke didn't stop him, he straightened his wine glass and said, "Since it is an atonement, I will receive half of it." ”
The old lady who drank a cup was a little blind, what does it mean to "only receive half"?
"The other half, naturally, the old lady told the Yang clan that I can receive it. Li Ke said again.
"King Shu, rest assured, this is as it should be. The old lady laughed.
Li Ke just said "hehe" twice, and then asked, "What about the second aspect?"
The old lady was originally going to go step by step, but who knew that Li Ke obviously didn't want to eat with her, so he didn't follow the script at all, so he asked directly. The old lady was a little uncontrollable, but it was because the other party was the king of Shu, even if it was the third prince of the concubine, that status was not up to the current Hongnong Yang family.
The old lady pressed down on the unhappiness in her heart and said: "Second, I just want to ask the King of Shu: It is said that on that day, it was your father who allowed Concubine Shu to return to the Yang family, and selected a famous Shuyuan as a concubine for you in the Yang family." I don't know about it, yes or no?"
What is this old fox going to do?
Jiang Chengzi became alert, and Li Ke frowned slightly, and said, "Yes." ”
The old lady smiled indifferently, looking more like an old fox.
"King Shu, you are a smart person, you must know your father's intention to let you come to the Yang family to choose a concubine?" the old lady asked.
Li Ke smiled and said sarcastically: "Old lady, don't think too beautifully, think too highly of yourself, the Yang family is not worthy." ”
The old lady's face turned white, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a calm tone: "After all, the King of Shu is young, and he doesn't know the beginning and end of the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty. ”
"For some things, the process is not important, but the result is important. Li Ke raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling, as if he was joking.
The implication of his words is that it is not important to know the beginning and end of the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but the important thing is that the old aristocracy has decayed, which is an indisputable fact.
The old lady was a wise man, and knew that what he meant by his words was contempt for the famous nobles. (To be continued.) )
