Chapter 14: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet

For this, there are sympathies and schadenfreude.

Sympathetic people naturally feel that Rong Qing's background is drunk, and now he is seriously injured and has not recovered, the Gaomi Palace, which is a blood relative, ignores it, and the Zhao Mansion, which is a foreigner, issued an eviction order before the New Year, which is really too cool, not what relatives should be.

The gloating people think that Rong Qingdrunk, as the concubine of the palace, but he can't survive in the palace, there must be an inside story, calculate the time when he was sent to the Zhao Mansion to raise, and the time when Rong Sleeping Crane "died" is about the same, and then look at Princess Gaomi's pampering and connivance of her youngest son and her indifference to her second son, who knows what he did at the beginning?

As for the Zhao family, Rong Qingdrunk's messy abandonment of Zhao Tao's makeup, who doesn't know!

This is going to be changed when my sisters encounter such a thing, they have already rushed out of the house with a stick, and the Zhao Mansion can endure it until today, which is already kind, and it can no longer be kind.

Moreover, in the courtyard of the deep house, who knows if Rong Qingdrunk did something to die, so that the Zhao Mansion didn't let him go for years?

In any case, the old lady Qin finally gave Rong Qingdrunk some industry, according to the customs at this time, the Gaomi palace is here, the Zhao family does not want to bear Rong Qing's drunken food and lodging, etc., the old lady does this, what else is there to be picky?

In this regard, both the Gaomi Mansion and the Zhao Mansion remained silent, neither explaining nor refuting it, as if they didn't know about it at all.

The two parties were so interested in arguing that they even said something later, and even suspected that Rong Qingzui was not King Gaomi's biological flesh and blood.

Sheng Weiqiao took advantage of the opportunity of Rong Sleepy Crane to personally send something to the Sheng Mansion, and asked him sideways: "Rong Qingdrunk was sent out by the Zhao Mansion, do you know about this?"

"This matter has spread all over the city, who hasn't heard of it?" But Rong Sleeping Crane didn't seem to be interested, touched her head, and said with a smile, "But anyway, it's his matter with the Zhao Mansion, and it has nothing to do with us, so what's wrong with him!"

Sheng Weiqiao because although Rong Sleeping Crane was the one who drunk and disabled Rong Qing, except for the ruthless attack in Bishui County, Rong Sleeping Crane and this brother didn't seem to have any other intersections, and when he heard the rumors, he also believed the rumors that "that little prince couldn't stand Miss Zhao Er again and again, and he was already unhappy with the Zhao family, and Bacheng did something that made the Zhao family unbearable", so he didn't ask again.

However, after Rong Sleeping Crane left, he stomped his feet and regretted, "I forgot to ask him about Ah Xi again!"

It's no wonder she forgets, after all, the wedding date of the two was set too hastily.

Her dowry was so rich that it was inconceivable to ordinary people: until now, the dowry is still flowing from Nanfeng County.

Every day, it takes most of the time to be led by the Feng family to check the list, and if you do any other embroidery work by yourself, you can only start by yourself and ask the maid to finish it like this...... In fact, even if she has kung fu, she really can't do her own embroidery work.

Rao is like this, and the girl who has always been casual also feels that she is very busy.

It is inevitable to lose three or four.

Of course, the sleeping crane is not much better.

Sheng Weiqiao has many elders, and each one is more capable than the other, and the things that fall on her head are already very easy.

And Rong Sleeping Crane has to be busy with both the wedding and the future, and he has to perfunctory the Shu sisters when he is free. He doesn't trust the relatives of Gaomi Wang and Rong Qingchu and his wife, even if he brought the team of the Wuyi Battalion to Chang'an, but his subordinates are different from his relatives, and many things are not easy to come forward, so he probably has to do it himself, and he really wants to split a person into several.

So much so that after the two met this time, they never met again.

Time flew by, and soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

The palace held a banquet as usual, inviting the Manchu civil and military and their dependents.

Although Sheng Weiqiao had arrived in Chang'an on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, she was still famous in Chang'an at that time, and she was not qualified to participate in this level of banquet.

This is the first time I have attended this year, and I can't help but feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, the Nan family sent the news two days in advance, saying that they would come over together and take care of each other.

"Grandfather, grandmother, and aunt, then let's go?" Although Old Lady Feng, Old Lady Zhan, and Xuan Yu Feng are rich, they don't have official bodies and seals, but they can't go to such an occasion. On this day, the group dressed up and stopped, went to the main hall to talk, and saw that it was time to leave, Sheng Weiqiao said goodbye to them, "When the palace banquet is over, we will come back to accompany you to celebrate the New Year." ”

Old Lady Feng and Old Lady Zhan both nodded with a smile and told her, "Drink less wine and eat more vegetables at the banquet." ”

Xuan Yu Feng teased her: "When you come back, it is estimated that you will fall asleep in the carriage, and you will still be in the New Year!"

"Call you to bully the heart!" It's just that this time she probably forgot that her own father and mother were also in front of her, and Mrs. Zhan was particularly spoiling her granddaughter, so she beat her with a whisk without saying a word, "At least the heart and liver have this intention, what about you?"

"It's better to be a grandmother!" Sheng Weiqiao smiled and stuck out his tongue at the Feng clan before Shi Shiran left.

She had never attended the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet before, and she was very excited before entering the palace.

But when I actually arrived at the banquet, I found that it was the same thing: the splendid Guang Hall was decorated with lights, and the middle of the richly furnished banquet was full of nobles who were surrounded by brocade robes and jade belts, or beads.

The jade bowls and gold plates are filled with jade bowls and gold plates, and the fragrance of the famous wine is mixed with the sweetness of the drink, which creates a unique atmosphere of the banquet...... looked graceful and magnificent, but after sitting down, after a few words of greeting with the four people, I felt that it seemed to be similar to an ordinary banquet, at most it was extraordinarily luxurious.

Well, the reason why I think so has something to do with the fact that most of the people at the table are talking about her at the moment:

The female relatives on Meng's side, Meng Shuanglian was the first to come over and talk to Sheng Weiqiao.

It's just that what she said is really not beautiful, this girl has always been showing an "innocent" image in front of Queen Meng, and this moment is naturally no exception, as soon as she came up, she split her head and asked: "County Lord Kangzhao, why are you going to marry your brother? Aren't you the best with my fourteenth aunt? If you do this, how can you meet my aunt in the future?"

"I've met the Queen Mother a few times, and there's nothing bad about meeting each other. Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her and said lukewarmly, "And the King of Mizhen County is the concubine of King Gaomi, and he is not my brother." ”

Seeing this situation, Meng Shuanglian changed her attitude again, and apologized with a smile: "Ah, I have always thought that one is one out, don't be angry with me! I was just worried about whether you and my aunt would have an awkward relationship, so I came to ask! Since there is none, it is really good." ”

said without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao to answer, and walked away.

Sheng Weirao next to her asked in a worried whisper, "Third sister?"

The grandchildren of the Sheng family are still called according to the ranking of Rong Sleeping Crane when he was there, this is because Old Lady Sheng and Sheng Lanci are both in Chang'an at the moment, and they can't go back to Nanfeng County to preside over the opening of the ancestral hall to cross out the name of Rong Sleeping Crane and reorder the younger generations.

"It's fine. Sheng Weiqiao waved her hand to her cousin, "She just came to test my attitude, and when she saw that there was nothing to take advantage of, she left." ”

Sheng Weirao frowned and said, "But the Meng clan is overwhelming......

"Have you forgotten about Miss Zhao San?" Sheng Weiqiao sighed secretly and reminded her cousin in a low voice, "Miss Zhao San is a native of Chang'an, can she still have a few handkerchiefs that have a good relationship with her? ”

She still didn't say a word, that is, King Gaomi himself was full of hostility towards Rong Sleeping Crane's son, although this prince was particularly active in the matter of Rong Sheng's marriage, what did he think in his heart...... Who knows?

So tonight's banquet, why did the Meng family stare at her all the time and look for trouble?

Wouldn't it be more interesting to sit and watch the infighting between King Gaomi's faction?

Sheng Weiqiao suspected that Meng Shuanglian came to test herself before, and when she saw that she was unceremoniously back, she left quickly, not necessarily because she was afraid of herself, but because she herself came to determine her temperament. If she replies with kind words, Miss Sun of the Meng family, Bacheng, will hate to "mention" herself, and she must maintain her fighting spirit, and wait for a while to tear up a good fight with the person who gave Zhao Taocheng a head.

But at this time, Sheng Weirao's face was already full of worry, if she told her in detail, who knows what this sister will be worried about?

Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to sweep away his cousin's interest, and said a few words, "In the end, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, at most, it is a battle of tongues, and they dare not do anything." ”

"But ......" Sheng Weirao didn't speak before she spoke, but two girls next to her walked over holding hands, and sat down in front of Sheng Weiqiao unceremoniously, smiling and smiling: "County Lord Kangzhao, I really can't see it!"

Sheng Weiqiao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Luo Wan's wife and Fang Xinniang, the friendship between the two was extraordinary, although they were not relatives, they were inseparable like sisters, and at this time, they put on a strange face of yin and yang looking for trouble, which was also the same.

Seeing them, to be honest, Sheng Weiqiao was a little surprised and disappointed, she was not very familiar with the female dependents under the command of King Gaomi, and the most familiar was probably these two girls.

Unexpectedly, they were the first batch to come up to find fault today.

"You can't see a lot, what are you talking about now?" But disappointment is disappointment, Sheng Weiqiao, a girl who is spoiled, when she knows that the situation is stronger than others, she bows her head and is responsible for her conscience and family, and now she wants to have an identity, and she is not afraid of these two girls at all, but she will not back down because they had a good conversation when they met before, and said lightly at the moment, "You might as well listen to it carefully?"

Her unceremonious attitude made Luo Wanwen and Fang Xinniang stunned, and after a pause, Fang Xinniang snorted coldly: "What are you pretending to be confused? Of course, you snatched the King of Mizhen County!"
