Chapter 208
On that day, a big feast was held in the Ling Mansion, because it was a marriage with the royal family, there were many visitors, and it was difficult to be thoughtful in one day, so it was planned to have a three-day banquet.
On this day, I invited all the royal relatives alone, the next day, it was the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and on the third day, it was the various relatives of the family reads();.
Because the relationship between the Tang family and the Ling family is extraordinary, and the status of the Tang Mansion is different, they specially invited each other on the first day.
Xiao Tang got up early, already dressed neatly, but when he turned back, he saw that Huaizhen was still in a daze, so Xiao Tang smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you comb it quickly? Last time, I went to Zhangfu late, so you didn't follow it, but you're not afraid of it now? ”
Huai Zhen was worried, looked up at Xiao Tang, and said, "Uncle Tang, I'm ...... Will I succeed if I don't go? ”
Xiao Tang was surprised, so he asked, "Why is this?" ”
Huaizhen said: "I'm a little panicked, what's more, I didn't plan to go in the first place, why change my mind for his words, if something happens to another life, what if something happens." As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and bowed his head.
Xiao Tang saw that she was embarrassed, but it was indispensable, but when he heard this, his heart moved again, and he said, "Is it really so jealous?" ”
Huaizhen's heart also twitched, and he shook his head: "No...... I just don't want to meet him, more things are better than less. ”
Xiao Tang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Even if you don't see him today, will you always see him in the future?" He is your father's proud disciple, even if he responds to the public mansion, he will have a chance to meet it, not to mention that now he is more expensive as a concubine, and he will not be allowed to enter and leave the palace in the future, and you often go in and out of the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no chance to see each other, in addition, the relationship between the Tang family and the Ling family, you don't know, the ...... of the New Year's Festival"
Huaizhen heard him say so much, and he knew in his heart that it was the same truth.
What's more, she didn't endure it step by step before, but Ling Jue never retreated because of this, Huaizhen closed her eyes and thought for a while, and then finally made up her mind again, got up to bathe and freshen up, and the maid went inside, helping her change into the big makeup and clothes of the fate.
Xiao Tang was just looking at it, but now seeing that she was dressed properly, wearing this fateful uniform, and her original delicate and beautiful beauty became more and more dignified and inviolable, Xiao Tang looked at her and smiled: When he saw her like this, he couldn't help but think of the situation when the two of them were in the hole/room.
When she went out, Mrs. Tang had already sorted it out, so she went out together holding hands.
Huaizhen rode a sedan chair with Mrs. Tang, and Xiao Tang rode a horse, and then came to Lingfu.
Not long after he arrived at Ling's Mansion, Xiao Tang looked at it and saw that the door was already full of traffic, needless to say, it was lively.
Ling Jingshen personally greeted the guests at the door, and when he saw Xiao Tang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, and gave Mrs. Tang a salute, so he invited him into the house.
At the door, Ling Jingshen still wanted to send him inside, Xiao Tang stopped with a smile, and said: "I know that you are busy today, so you don't have to worry about us, I will send my wife and Huaizhen inside, you can go and greet other distinguished guests." ”
Because of Princess Ling Jueshang, after all, it is also a great joy, not to mention that Ling Jue is going to get married after all, Ling Jingshen is in a happy mood, no better than before, and he also smiled when he heard the words: "Thank you for your understanding, I will give you two more glasses when I go back." ”
Xiao Tang looked at him and smiled, and then was led by Xiao Wu and accompanied Mrs. Tang and Huaizhen to the inner house.
The people outside had already reported it inside, and when Lin * got the news, he also came out in person.
I met in two miles, and when I saw that it was Xiao Tang who came in person, I couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out that after the two of them got married, the two rarely met again, especially later, Lin Shenzhou passed away again...... Although they meet occasionally during the New Year's holidays, they are courteous to each other, but they also know that they can never go back to the love they had at that time.
* The smile on his face froze, but he returned to normal, greeted Mrs. Tang and Huaizhen with a smile, greeted him first, and said to Xiao Tang: "How did my brother come in person?" ”
Xiao Tang said with a smile: "Depth of Depth is out to welcome guests, he was originally going to accompany him in, but I asked him to go to run errands at ease, and I accompanied him." ”
* smiled at him, and then looked at Mrs. Tang, Huaizhen...... His eyes fell on Huai Zhen's face, and he saw that she was even more prominent than when she was younger, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little open, revealing some graceful and graceful style.
* There were no words in his heart for a while, Xiao Tang held Huaizhen's hand at this moment, and said to Lin * with a smile: "*, Huaizhen is young after all, if there is something inconsiderate, you can help her take care of it." I gave her to you. ”
* Seeing him speak, his eyes were only on Huaizhen, and he was so gentle, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, how could he believe it?
* reluctantly smiled: "Brother can rest assured, not to mention that there is also a wife, is there anything inappropriate?" It's really hearty. ”
Xiao Tang laughed twice, and Mrs. Tang said to him: "You go out quickly, there are many people here today, and they are all distinguished guests, if there is something that the depth of field can't see, you can help him take care of the cooking, don't just care about eating and drinking, it won't work if you get drunk." ”
Xiao Tang agreed, and said to Huai Zhen: "You are so good that you will follow your wife and Grandma Ling, and I will go?" ”
Huaizhen lowered his eyes and replied, "Got it." Don shook her hand again before turning around and going out.
* Then the two of them were taken into the inner house, at this moment Princess Su Fu, Princess Xi Guo Bailu, and other princes and grandsons of the inner family, all arrived, and Mrs. Ling was talking with her, looking up, it was a full house, a piece of splendid splendor.
Mrs. Tang took Huaizhen and the ladies couldn't help but greet each other again, and then sat down quietly.
At noon, there were firecrackers and gongs and drums outside, and everyone went to watch the ceremony again.
After a short time, the table was opened. Huai Zhen took a few bites, and suddenly saw a woman from Ling Mansion with a three- or four-year-old child coming forward, it turned out to be Lin *'s eldest son Ling Xiao, because he was looking for his mother, his nurse brought him in.
When the ladies saw that Ling Xiao was born white and handsome, he was a good boy with extraordinary intelligence, and they all liked it very much, so they all pulled and talked.
Although Ling Xiao is small, he is a little like a brother of the Ling family in temperament, as if he is extraordinarily calm, not like an ordinary child who loves to cry and make trouble, no matter who pulls him, or loves or touches, etc., he is quiet, rarely speaks, only looks at people silently with his eyes, as if he can understand what people say, which makes everyone exclaim in unison.
When Mrs. Tang saw such a good child, she couldn't help but like it, and when she saw Ling Xiao walking up, she hugged her and praised her in every way.
Because Mrs. Tang is looking forward to Xiao Tang's marriage after all, she naturally wants to get a golden grandson soon, but this matter is not in a hurry, just thinking about it in her heart, and now that she sees Ling Xiao, she has to temporarily "look at Mei to quench her thirst", so she can't put it down and talk carefully, and ask him to bring fruit to eat.
Huai Zhen saw that the child was born very happily, and saw that Mrs. Tang loved him, so he took a big peach on his table and said, "Do you eat this?" ”
Ling Xiao looked at her for a while, and sure enough, he stretched out his hand and held the peach, but although he held it in his hand, his eyes were still only staring at Huaizhen.
At this moment, Lin * was socializing, looked back, and hurriedly shouted: "He can't play with that ......" and stepped forward, took the peach from Ling Xiao's hand and read it();.
Mrs. Tang was puzzled, so she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Huaizhen was also at a loss, so it was up to Lin*. At this time, he had already called Ling Xiao's nurse, so he said in a low voice: "Why don't you look at the eldest young master?" ”
As soon as the nurse made a mistake, she saw Ling Xiao take the peach, and she was also panicking, so she said, "The young master didn't love this thing, I thought he wouldn't take it...... If you can't think of it......"
* grabbed Ling Xiao, but saw that his face was already red, * secretly anxious, so he explained to Mrs. Tang: "This child can't touch these peaches and apricots when he is a child, but if he touches his hands, he will be itchy and red...... He himself was obedient, even if someone gave it to him, he wouldn't want it, I don't know what's going on today. ”
Huai Zhen listened, and hurriedly looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw that Ling Xiao's face and neck were already red, but the child didn't cry, but still looked at Huai Zhen quietly.
Huai Zhen was very uneasy, regretting that he had given him this, and his face was red for a while, so he leaned over and said, "Is Ling Xiao uncomfortable?" Sorry...... Auntie doesn't know you can't touch this. ”
Ling Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at her darkly.
* smiled: "Don't worry, I was negligent." When he asked the nurse to leave with Ling Xiao in his arms, let him bathe and change his clothes.
The nurse left with Ling Xiao in her arms, and Mrs. Tang was full of praise, because she said to everyone: "This child is really smart and sensible." Everyone nodded their heads.
Mrs. Tang saw that Huaizhen's face was depressed, and she was afraid that she would blame herself, so she persuaded: "Don't think about it, it's his child who is playful, not to mention that he seems to be in love with you, otherwise why did he take it?" He laughed.
Huaizhen was afraid that Mrs. Tang would be worried, so he also smiled, so he pressed this section first.
After half an hour's effort, the grandmother came out with Ling Xiao in her arms again, and sure enough, she had already changed her clothes, and the red on her face had faded, and the grandmother said: "The little master has been shouting to come out, and we can't persuade him." ”
* smiled: "This kid has always been obedient, what's wrong today?" ”
At this moment, he looked left and right for a while, and suddenly saw Huaizhen staring at her, so he staggered over, and walked all the way to Huaizhen's side, and then leaned on and didn't move.
Everyone was a little surprised, everyone watched, Huai Zhen knew that he had no intention of causing trouble, so he looked down at Ling Xiao and said, "Is there something wrong with you looking for me?" ”
Ling Xiao looked up at her, and didn't make a sound, Huai Zhen stared at these dark eyes, and suddenly found that Ling Xiao really looked like the Ling family brothers, and these eyes didn't know if they were more like Ling Jue, or Ling Jing's depth of field...... Huai Zhen's heart was slightly stinging for a moment, and he thought for no reason, if Ling Jue and Princess Qingyan had a child, but they didn't know what it would look like?
Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly had this idea...... When he frowned suddenly, his heart was cold, and he was speechless.
However, Mrs. Tang, seeing Ling Xiao going and returning, was very tired of being on their side, so she liked it even more, so she simply held Ling Xiao in her arms, and from time to time picked up something that children could eat and fed him to eat.
Ling Xiao likes to eat, so he opens his mouth to eat, if he doesn't like it, he closes his mouth and shakes his head, Mrs. Tang sees him like this, as if she loves something more and more.
Ling Xiao ate for a while, then he was full, because he refused to eat again, he looked at Huaizhen and said, "Hug." ”
Huaizhen was stunned when he heard this, and Mrs. Tang was also surprised...... Although Lin * was next to him, he cared about this place from time to time, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Ling Xiao, what's wrong today, what are you messing about?" ”
Ling Xiao only looked at Huai Zhen and said indistinctly: "Auntie hug reads();." ”
Mrs. Tang laughed and said, "I said he fell in love with you?" Hug him. With that, he picked up Ling Xiao and sent him to Huaizhen's lap.
Huai Zhen's body couldn't help but hug it, and after hugging it, she was ignorant for a while: she only felt that the child was very small, and very light, as if it was still very soft, and she had never hugged such a child...... Suddenly I was even more at a loss, and I didn't know how to treat him.
* When he saw it, he smiled again: "That's it, but I don't know why, he never pesters people, but he is different from you." ”
Huaizhen looked down at Ling Xiao, and saw that he was quiet, but he also liked it, his heart was pounding at first, but after a while, it was fine, because he was sick, he couldn't help but feel sorry, so he also teased Ling Xiao to say something nonsense.
Ling Xiao is not yet three years old, so naturally he can't understand it, but when he looks at her from time to time, he seems to be able to understand, and when Huaizhen sees it in his eyes, he secretly likes this child.
Let's say that Ling Xiao followed Huaizhen, until noon, Huaizhen's legs were a little numb, and the nurse also came to see her a few times, but he refused to leave, and he was urging him tightly, so he grabbed Huaizhen's clothes and didn't let go, revealing his dissatisfaction.
However, as soon as the child passed noon, he had to sleep for a while, and because he was particularly happy today, he shrank into Huaizhen's arms and fell asleep.
* Shao had to come over in person, took it lightly, and said to Huaizhen in a low voice: "I'm really tired, Ling Xiao has never made trouble, I don't know what's wrong today." ”
Huai Zhen smiled: "It's out of the way." I made him itch when he touched the peaches before, and I was very sorry not to go. After the two said a few words, they took Ling Xiao away from the house to sleep.
Huaizhen was only now free, so he wanted to get up, but his legs were really numb, and he was uncomfortable for a while, busy and sitting, miserable.
When Mrs. Tang saw that her face was painful, she asked why, and hurriedly called the maid to help her, and went in to rest for a while.
When Jixiang and Bingju came up, helped Huaizhen slowly into the inner room, sat on the couch, and gently rubbed her legs to invigorate the blood, and it took a long time to get better.
* Placed Ling Xiao, heard the news, hurriedly came in to take a look, Huai Zhen only said that it was okay, then got up again, and still went back to the table.
* A little uneasy, so I accompanied the walk, a few people went along the corridor to the front, and was walking for a while, when suddenly I saw a person coming to meet him, but it was the groom's official dress.
Huai Zhen was shocked, before she was in the future, she was most worried about this situation, but she also expected that most of them would inevitably meet on a narrow road. At this moment, I saw that I really met Ling Jue, and I was not surprised, not to mention that now the two girls are here, * is also there, so I am more and more afraid of what happens to him.
When the two met, Ling Jue saluted, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "How did Xiao Jue come here?" Isn't this supposed to be a social event in the first place? ”
It turns out that * also knows Ling Jue's heart knot, although the emperor has set two people before, but * selfishly does not want to be a concubine with Huaizhen, and later changed to Princess Qingyan, * secretly also chanted Buddha...... Now that I suddenly saw Ling Jue here, I was afraid that he would be young and vigorous, and he would inevitably make a bad appearance.
Ling Jue listened to his words and understood his meaning, so he said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I just heard that Ling Xiao was making trouble today, so I came to see him, and only then did I come out when I saw him sleeping." ”
* Breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I forgot, if you had been there before, he would not have dared to disobey reads();." ”
Ling Jue smiled, looked at Huaizhen again, and said, "My sister is really here today, what's the matter, don't you congratulate me?" ”
Huai Zhen also smiled slightly, and said without a trace: "I was about to congratulate Ling Gongzi on his great joy...... because he stopped, raised his eyes to look at him again, and said in a warm voice: "I just hope you will ...... in the future." and Princess Qingyan can be husband and wife and grow old together. ”
This was originally Huaizhen's heartfelt words, but Ling Jue listened to it, but he only felt a little piercing, looked at Huaizhen straight for a moment, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the auspicious words of the third young grandmother, even so, I also wish you and Lord Tang to respect each other like a guest, and the earth will last for a long time." ”
This sentence said that there was no congratulation and joy, but a chill.
Ling Jue stared at Huai Zhen, his eyes were also cold, Huai Zhen couldn't help but smile when he saw this: he knew that his temper was like this, and it was definitely not something that could be changed overnight, so what hope was there.
Huaizhen was silent and said lightly: "I'm leaving." He walked past him, and the maids followed him.
* Seeing her leave, she had the intention to accompany her, but Ling Jue was still standing in place, like an ice sculpture of clay, silent and lonely, and the sound of drums outside seemed not to be played for him, but added a bit of bleakness.
* After glancing at Ling Jue, he really couldn't bear it, so he walked up to him and persuaded: "Xiao Jue, there is no need to mention the past...... Horizontal and vertical, the princess's appearance and character are not inferior to Huaizhen, and her identity is more noble than Huaizhen, and your future in the future is limitless...... Today is your day of great joy, you will never press it, do you understand? ”
When Ling Jue heard this, he seemed to understand but didn't understand, but he smiled lightly and said, "I know, sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't be so ignorant." ”
* Although I heard him answer like this, I really couldn't rest assured in my heart, and I knew that Ling Jue was not happy in his heart, and he intended to persuade a few more words, but I was afraid that it would be in vain to say it, Ling Jue Su had an opinion, where would he listen to others when he was idle?
* opened his mouth, but stopped again, sighed faintly for a while, lowered his eyes and said, "Let's Lingfu...... What was it like, you should always understand that in recent years, your brother has finally made a name for himself, and he has two nephews, and you have a lot of potential...... Seeing is a momentum to be raised. However, Xiao Jue, I have only recently understood this truth, people in this life, can not only live for their own willfulness, sometimes, the love between men and women...... It's not what you think...... Absolutely necessary...... Sister-in-law, I know that you are smart, and there are some things that you don't need to say, so you naturally understand, but the smarter the person, the easier it is to drill the horns, and the little one...... Even if it's in the face of your brother and two nephews, you must ...... Don't do stupid things, Ling family, you can't make a mistake. ”
When Ling Jue heard this, his face softened a little, because he turned his head, looked at *, and nodded: "Thank you sister-in-law for relieving me, I know what you mean." I'm going back to the front hall to socialize, and my brother is afraid that he won't be able to do it alone. As he spoke, he smiled at *, and sure enough, he raised his foot.
* Seeing his back leave, silently still going to the inner house...... Who knew that halfway through, when I looked up, I suddenly saw two people standing in the corridor in front of me, one was dressed in a commanding suit and had a slender figure, it was Huai Zhen, but the other was standing tall and wearing a lucky suit, and it was Ling Jingshen.
* Stunned, I don't know why the depth of field is here, I can't help but be suspicious, so she walked forward lightly for a while, stopped again, listened attentively, and only heard the depth of field over there and said: "If you ...... You should always understand that now I can ...... all your qiē Ruined for you. ”
* My heart is shocked, I don't know where to start?! Busy looking carefully, but saw the depth of field slowly raised his hand, and the palm of his hand was holding an object, because there was a distance, it vaguely seemed to be a small gossip thing, which she had never seen before.
* Naturally, I don't know what this is and what it means, but when Huaizhen saw this thing at first glance, he staggered back and propped himself up on the wall, his face pale and crumbling.
