Chapter 177: Righteous Sister
After Zhao Qingzao and his party came out, they saw Shen Changting sitting with Chi Fenglai at a glance, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao was stunned, but the grass that Zhao Qingzao was holding in his arms pointed at Shen Changting very happily, and said to Zhao Qingzao: "Mother, it's Mr. Shen!" Let's hurry up and say hello! ”
Shen Changting also saw Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao, but he pretended not to know the two of them, but turned his head to talk to Chi Fenglai, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but be a little angry, at this banquet with many dignitaries and nobles, Shen Changting not only sat with Chi Fenglai, but also pretended not to know their mother and son, did she and Xiaocao make Shen Changting feel very ashamed?
Because the guests at the banquet were all coming soon, Zhao Qingzao didn't want to go over to greet Shen Changting, let alone have any contact with Chi Fenglai, so Zhao Qingzao said to Xiaocao: "It's not convenient now, let's talk about it after the banquet is over." ”
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Xiaocao nodded in frustration, and then didn't say anything, Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian followed behind Zhao Qingzao, the two of them didn't know what they were muttering, so Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but turn his head and look at them several times, and finally couldn't help it, Zhao Qingzao asked: "Han Guang, Xiaolian, what are you two muttering?" ”
"Master, Bai Qingwei and Shen Changque are also here, and the two of them are staring at you." Han Guang lowered his voice and whispered to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao looked in the direction pointed by Han Guang, and sure enough, he saw Bai Qingwu and Shen Changque sitting together, and the two of them were really waiting for Zhao Qingzao.
Zhao Qingzao chuckled in his heart, thinking that Bai Qingwei and Shen Changque wouldn't know about her letting Boss Hu and Han Guang capture the two of them, right? If this is the case, Bai Qingwei and Shen Changque will definitely not be easy, maybe she will not only have to be careful of Chi Fenglai in the future, but also have to deal with Bai Qingwei and Shen Changque.
"Leave them alone, let's sit down quickly, you two and I can sit together." Zhao Qingzao was too lazy to deal with Bai Qingwu and Shen Changque anymore, so he said to Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian.
Because the banquet was full of strange dignitaries, Zhao Qingzao knew people who could be counted with their fingers, and there were several people who had enmity with her, so sitting with Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian, Zhao Qingzao would be more down-to-earth, even if something really happened, she could ask Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian to help take care of Xiaocao.
The subordinates of the General's Mansion took Zhao Qingzao and a few people to sit down, and after finally sitting down, Zhao Qingzao found that this position was not very good, because Bai Qingyu and Shen Changque were sitting at the table on the left, and Shen Changting and Chi Fenglai were sitting at the table on the right.
"Mother, when will the feast start? I really want to eat. Xiaocao drank a cup of tea, because the banquet had not yet begun, so there were only a few side dishes and tea on the table, and the real good dishes were still behind.
Hearing Xiaocao ask, Zhao Qingzao was about to let Xiaocao eat more grass, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Chu Xingshan appeared.
It seems that Chu Xingshan is indeed a popular person in front of the emperor, after seeing him appear, many people came forward to talk and laugh with Chu Xingshan, Chu Xingshan used to hate the most was to deal with those unfamiliar people, but after becoming a general, he seems to be more and more able to deal with it, even if he sees Chi Fenglai to greet him, Chu Xingshan can still smile and nod, instead of having a conflict with Chi Fenglai like he did in Xishan Pass before.
"General Chu, I heard that you held this banquet today just to let everyone know the righteous sister you recognize, I don't know where General Chu's righteous sister is?" Bai Shangshu asked Chu Xingshan with a smile.
Zhao Qingzao didn't expect Bai Shangshu to appear, remembering the last time she was arrested by Bai Shangshu, Zhao Qingzao felt very funny, and when Bai Shangshu knew that she was Chu Xingshan's righteous sister, she would definitely be angry.
"Don't worry, let's eat first, and I'll let everyone know this righteous sister who has known each other for many years." Chu Xingshan was not in a hurry at all, and after waving his hand, he said to Bai Shangshu and everyone.
Hearing this, everyone smiled and nodded, and then Chu Xingshan asked his subordinates and maids to bring the dishes, Xiaocao was already hungry, so after the dishes were served, Xiaocao immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
"This scallion roasted sea cucumber is delicious."
"Yes, it's much better than other dishes, isn't it made by the same master?"
When the guests at the banquet ate the scallion roasted sea cucumber made by Zhao Qing jujube, they couldn't help but admire.
Zhao Qingzao also heard the admiration of those guests, as a chef, the happiest thing is that his cooking will be recognized by everyone, so Zhao Qingzao is very happy in his heart.
"Master, you made this dish of roasted sea cucumber with green onions, I'll know it as soon as I taste it." Han Guang put the scallion roasted sea cucumber into his mouth, then closed his eyes and savored it for a while, then immediately opened his eyes and said to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing Han Guang ask, Zhao Qingzao did not deny it, but nodded with a smile, although Han Guang was not from the court, but there were still many people who came to greet Han Guang, because they also knew Gu Xiaolian, so they also greeted Gu Xiaolian by the way, but Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao's mother and son, the guests at the banquet did not know each other, so no one came to deal with Zhao Qingzao, but Zhao Qingzao was also happy, and she would definitely feel uncomfortable when she greeted these fake people.
"Thank you for coming to enjoy your face and come to the banquet I held, the reason why I will hold a banquet today is because I want everyone to know my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law and I have known each other for many years, and she also helped me a lot, although she went to Biancheng to seek refuge in me, but she still met a lot of people who wanted to hurt her, Chu said here, if I let me know who wants to hurt my sister-in-law, I will definitely not let go of that person!" At this moment, Chu Xingshan suddenly walked to the middle of the banquet and immediately said loudly.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao was very moved in her heart, she knew that Chu Xingshan's words were deliberately said to Chi Fenglai, Bai Shangshu listened, Chu Xingshan protected himself so much, which made Zhao Qingzao feel that her righteous brother really did not admit it in vain.
"Qingjujube, you can bring Xiaocao here." After Chu Xingshan finished speaking, he didn't care about the people who were talking, but after finding Zhao Qingzao, he said to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing Chu Xingshan say this, Zhao Qingzao hugged Xiaocao, and then walked to Chu Xingshan's side, seeing this, everyone was stunned, everyone didn't expect that Zhao Qingzao was the righteous sister mentioned in Chu Xingshan's pass.
Among them, the most surprising ones were Bai Shangshu and Bai Qingxian, Shen Changque, and Chi Fenglai, especially Bai Shangshu, who used his power to forcibly take Zhao Qingzao away last time, and the two of them could be regarded as having a relationship, but Zhao Qingzao turned out to be Chu Xingshan's righteous sister, and Chu Xingshan said that again, Bai Shangshu looked at Zhao Qingzao, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and then put it on his forehead to wipe his sweat.
"This is my sister-in-law, Zhao Qingzao, the child she is holding in her arms is called Xiaocao, now both of them live in the General's Mansion, Chu hopes that everyone can look at my face, and usually take care of Qingzao and Xiaocao." Chu Xingshan pointed to Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao, and said to the guests at the banquet.
Although everyone didn't know Zhao Qingzao, but Chu Xingshan said so, of course they also had to give Zhao Qingzao a face, so they nodded and agreed, seeing this, Chu Xingshan let Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao go back to their seats and sit.
After some introduction, everyone knew that Zhao Qingzao was Chu Xingshan's sister-in-law, Zhao Qingzao had just sat down, and suddenly felt that other people's attitudes towards her were completely different from before, not only everyone smiled at her, but some people also came to greet her, Zhao Qingzao muttered in his heart, sure enough, power is the most powerful thing, no wonder everyone wants to become a court official and become a big celebrity in front of the emperor.
However, Chu Xingshan didn't have this idea at all, but he became the emperor's most trusted general, it seems that Chu Xingshan was really the right decision to leave Xishanao, otherwise Chu Xingshan is still a small villager in Xishanao.
The banquet was almost over, and many guests had already said goodbye to Chu Xingshan, Zhao Qingzao saw that Xiaocao had been yawning, and was about to take Xiaocao back to the yard to rest, but he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to just stand up, but Bai Shangshu suddenly came over and talked to her.
"Miss Zhao, you should still know me, right?" Bai Shangshu asked Zhao Qingzao with a smile.
"Isn't this Bai Shangshu? I was almost caught by you in Shangshu Mansion at the beginning, how could I not remember? Zhao Qingzao also said to Bai Shangshu with a smile.
Bai Shangshu was criticized by the emperor several times because of his ineffective work during this time, and now what he is most afraid of is offending Chu Xingshan, in case Chu Xingshan says a few bad things about him in front of the emperor, maybe his position as a scholar will not be guaranteed, so even if Bai Shangshu is reluctant, he can only come over cheekily to please Zhao Qingzao.
"Miss Zhao, the previous things were all misunderstandings, it turns out that you are the righteous sister of General Chu, I have no eyes, in order to make amends to Miss Zhao, I specially set up a banquet in Shangshu Mansion, I hope that Miss Zhao will participate in the banquet of Shangshu Mansion with General Chu at that time." Bai Shangshu continued to say cheekily.
Bai Shangshu actually wanted to feast himself and Chu Xingshan? And also set up a banquet in Shangshu Mansion? Zhao Qingzao subconsciously frowned, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw Bai Qingxian who was staring at her.
"Bai Shangshu, I don't think Miss Bai should want me to participate in the banquet." Zhao Qingzao said directly to Bai Shangshu.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Bai Shangshu was stunned, then turned his head, and immediately knew why Zhao Qingzao said these words.
"Miss Zhao, the little girl has been spoiled by me, she has been very willful since she was a child, and I will let her apologize to you at the banquet when the time comes." In order to curry favor with Zhao Qingzao, Bai Shangshu even wanted Bai Qingshu to apologize to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao, who was originally not interested in Bai Shangshu's banquet, was a little interested, if Bai Qingxian could really apologize to her in front of everyone, it would be very good, besides, when Chu Xingshan accompanied her to the banquet, Bai Shangshu and Bai Qingxuan should not dare to do anything excessive.
