Chapter 42: Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet (3)

Xu Xian showed a very interested look: "Shou Zi Qi Shi? This sounds special." Although the prince www.biquge.info's gift to the saint has already been prepared, it is only an expensive treasure, and if the stone is really peculiar, the prince will temporarily replace it. ”

Zhao Shifeng was very happy when he heard this: "Zi'an, are you serious?" called him.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "How dare the little son-in-law deceive his father-in-law?

"It's not here, in Binzhou," Zhao Shifeng said with a smile, rejoicing, "I couldn't go through the prince's path before, and I wanted to hand it over to the third prince to let him dedicate this thing to the prince, but then I heard that he had been at odds with the prince recently, so I put out my thoughts." Now it seems that this stone is really waiting for this fate. ”

Xu Xian frowned when he heard this: "What? You actually told the third prince about it? Now that the third prince has done several things to disobey the queen, I am afraid that he will be opposed to the prince, Benhou is a person from the prince's side, why don't you think about my position?" He was a little angry, and also called himself Benhou.

"At that time, there was no sign, I didn't think that the third prince was still attached to the crown prince. Zhao Shifeng said stupidly, and his heart was not very happy, he was taught a lesson by a junior, or his son-in-law, and couldn't help but say: At that time, the prince probably didn't know who you were, but you were willing to put gold on your face, saying that it was the prince's person, hum.

Xu Xian saw Zhao Shifeng's expression, and also regretted a little, the stone was useless, he couldn't offend this gold master, so he hurriedly said: "It's the son-in-law who is too anxious for a while, father-in-law, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhao Shifeng saw that his posture was lowered, and he also dissipated his anger: "Then Yi Zi'an, look, how should the stone be disposed of?"

Xu Xian pondered for a while and said: "Binzhou is not too far from the capital, but because it is necessary to take the waterway, the journey will be slower, and it will take more than half a month, and I am afraid it will be too late to show the prince at that time." If I go back and ask someone to tell the prince about this strange stone of longevity, so that he can make a decision, we can also decide whether we are lucky or not. ”

Zhao Shifeng nodded, the most important thing in this matter is the attitude of the prince. But he has some confidence, if in previous years, the princes did not dare to compete with the prince, and no one would dare to cross him if he gave any gift, but this year is different, the saint has a whole life, which is a big event, and there are three princes eyeing him, and the prince will gladly accept the idea of being able to get a birthday gift that can overwhelm the three princes.

And he can use this birthday gift to get the green eyes of the prince, and since then he has risen to the top and has no worries about his career. He smiled when he thought of this, he has been suffering from having no backer, no family support, every step forward, he needs to pay a huge price and energy, and now he finally has the opportunity to come to the bitter end, of course he will seize the opportunity. As for the unlucky third prince, it was not in his consideration.

"You have a point, there is only one month left until Halloween, so it's time to hurry. "The birthday of the Holy One is the seventeenth day of September, which is not far away.

After the two finished chatting about business, Zhao Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she thought that her father would have an argument with Master Hou, but fortunately he didn't.

Pei Shi listened to them silently with a smile, and began to chat with Xu Xian about family life. For a while, I asked Chang's living habits and physical condition, and then I asked him what he did on weekdays, and then some of the rules and scenery of the Hou Mansion, but he didn't mention whether he had a room or anything like that.

Yesterday Huichun came back and told her a lot of things, including the restless maid Hongxue beside Chang's side, she was angry when she heard it, but she was helpless. In the noble family, it is inevitable that there are three wives and four concubines, and even their families are full of wives and concubines, how can they ask Xu Xian, who is the Marquis of Changxin, to live alone with Yuan Niang?

It's just that she is very worried that Yuan Niang will make a mistake, so don't say these words in front of her. When the two are about to get married, she will tell Chang that she will dismiss Xu Xian's side through the room, which is also an unwritten rule in Beijing, but in the days after marriage, Yuan Niang will have to run it by herself.

She looked at Xu Xian's daughter with a peach blossom face, and sighed secretly, as a mother, she could only help her get here.

Xu Xian answered patiently one by one, his attitude was very gentle and humble, Pei Shi was satisfied, Zhao Shifeng and Zhao Qingyi also interjected a few words from time to time, chatting like this, and it was time to set up lunch in the blink of an eye.

Pei Shi ordered someone to bring the prepared meal, and beckoned the three of them to go to the reception room to eat together.

The two tables, one in the inner room and the other in the spacious hospitality room, are identical.

There are eighteen dishes and soups together, meat dishes have goose paws, duck letters, lion's heads, venison and elbows, etc., the soup is a shrimp ball soup and a longan soup, vegetarian dishes are everything, it is said to be a family banquet, but it is very grand, showing the scene of wealth and nobility.

At the table, Zhao Qingyi sat on Xu Xian's right hand, Zhao Shifeng persuaded a few glasses of wine from time to time, Xu Xian's face was only slightly red, it can be seen that the amount of wine is not bad, but the spicy smell of wine floated into Zhao Qingyi's nose, which made her feel ape and pregnant with spring.

This banquet lasted for a long time, and Zhao Shifeng poured Xu Xian a lot of wine, so Rao is wine was not bad, and he was a little dizzy, so Pei Shi asked people to prepare a guest room and sent someone to wait for him to rest.

Zhao Qingyi helped her mother direct people to clean up the mess, and a few people in the inner room heard the movement and knew that Xu Xian was no longer here, so they all walked out.

"Have you eaten yet?" Pei asked with a smile in a good mood.

Zhao Jiayi said with a smile: "There are too many dishes, so naturally I am full, but I have to waste a lot." ”

"It's okay, Ben also wants to be happy, and there are not a few times a year like this. Now that you have eaten, let's go back to our rooms for lunch, Hou Ye is resting in Fangfei Garden, don't disturb him. Pei Shi waved his hand, smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

The three of them knew that Pei was beating them, so they all should have been, and retreated.

It's just that as soon as he got out of the courtyard gate of Jifu Hall, Zhao Linyi sneered: "You will please your wife and put gold on your face, that dish is not for the Hou Ye, it is your turn to worry about whether the waves are wasted?"

Zhao Weiyi's face was white and she didn't dare to interject. Zhao Jiayi had long been used to it, and she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Although I took advantage of the Hou Ye, but being grateful is also the filial piety and duty of my daughter, the second sister didn't say it, so I had to speak, didn't I?"

Zhao Linyi heard her pull out the matter of filial piety again, so she flicked her sleeves and left.

Her expression gradually condensed, hum, you won't be able to jump for long. Zhao Weiyi caught a glimpse of her expression, was startled, and asked softly, "Third sister, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Jiayi's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the little girl, and smiled meaningfully: "It's okay." ”
