Chapter 217: Report to Mother
Helian Wangbei was busy with something at hand, so he just nodded symbolically and said, "Not bad." β
Murong Yuxin saw that he was only busy with himself, his attitude was very unenthusiastic, and he was extremely unhappy, and he deliberately pestered him to cause him some trouble, so he asked again, "Since you said it is good, it means that you also like it very much." So, how about I borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha? β
"Well, how can you do that? This is a kind gift from someone, how can you give it to someone else? Helian Wangbei had to temporarily suspend the work at hand.
"Hey, I said you, what's wrong with this little expression." The second lady saw that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, knowing that he was impatient to disturb him to do things, she felt funny in her heart, but deliberately teased him, "I guess, you must be jealous!" Hehe, you're really interesting, I just said a few words to my eldest brother-in-law, and you can't get up. β
Helian Wangbei was angry and laughed in his heart, but he also knew that this matter could not be compared with her, so he had to pretend not to know, and started the work in his hand again, and said, "Second Miss can say whatever she wants, but I am very busy now, so I dare to ask Miss to be sympathetic, and wait until I am busy to talk about it slowly." β
The subtext of this is clearly that I won't play with you! Murong Yuxin knew that she couldn't be entangled with him anymore, so she pouted her mouth and said, "Okay then, you can take your time and get busy with you." β
Helian Wangbei replied lightly, "Go slowly." β
In a blink of an eye, on the day of ancestor worship, everyone rushed early in the morning, gathered in the courtyard, and waited for the Huainan King to finish speaking, and followed behind the king, and went to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors.
The ancestor worship ceremony is naturally Murong Chengxuan's main business, and the Murong Xu sisters accompany them, and a worship is a routine every year, and everyone is naturally familiar with it, step by step, and although Miss Xi'er is participating for the first time, she peeks at the eldest sister's practice, but she is also stable, and she has never made a mistake or made a joke.
Ancestor worship is just quite cumbersome, and after the various ceremonies are completed, most of the day has passed.
After returning home, Murong Yuxin originally wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the night tour with Zhaofu Ji Qin and others, but who knew that the trip had not yet taken place, but she was summoned by her mother, and she chattered and talked for three hours. It's a shame, and that's the end of the day.
In addition, the words of the King of Huainan have always been tired of listening to the revitalization of the lintel and the meritorious deeds, so these three hours are extremely difficult for her, and they are even longer than three centuries.
Finally, when the family stopped arranging the night banquet and came over to ask whether to have a meal, the king of Huainan stopped talking.
After the family had dinner, Murong Yuxin was relieved, said goodbye to her mother, and returned to her small courtyard, but saw that the courtyard was full of colorful lanterns, and everyone gathered together, waiting for her arrival.
Murong Yuxin stopped them from greeting each other with courtesy, Zhang looked at the various lanterns, and said with a smile, "I have been tired outside for a day, and I have been disciplined for a day, and now I am finally free!" Haha, it seems that you haven't been idle this day, so that my yard is full of fire trees and silver flowers, and the credit is not small! β
While speaking, he put his coat in the hands of Jixiang, who rushed over to serve, and sat down in the center of the crowd with a big grin.
Everyone in the courtyard sat down with the second lady, and they had already congratulated themselves on holding the wine jug, circled around the table, and poured wine for all the cups on the table. Murong Yuxin raised his wine glass with a smile, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile, "Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new today, everyone just have fun, don't get drunk and go home, the more drunk you are, the more prosperous next year will be!" β
Let's say it, I drank the wine in one go, and said with a smile, "Let's do it first." β
Everyone nodded yes, raised their heads one after another, and drank the syrup in the glass.
Seeing the joy of everyone gathering to drink and eat, Murong Yuxin suddenly remembered Du Changhuai, every year today, he accompanied him, and the two of them talked freely about wine and laughed. However, at this moment this year, I am in the Huainan Palace, accompanied by so many people. However, my father is only one person left, and I am afraid that he is alone in front of the light and shadow at this time, tasting loneliness.
Thinking of these, the second lady's interest couldn't help but be affected, although the wine became stronger, but the joy couldn't help but fade quietly. However, since everyone is so excited, they can't patronize their sentimentality and sweep away their enthusiasm. With that smile still on his face, he raised his glass again.
Taking advantage of the wine, Zhaofu immediately built a wine order to help the fun. Whether it is poetry or proverbs, seven words and five absolute words are acceptable. It's not very strict, it's just used to spice things up and make you laugh.
As soon as this construction came out, Ji Qin, Jixiang and others agreed. Congratulations but no objection. Only Fa Cai shouted, "Don't come up with such a difficult idea, okay?" β
But others are soft-spoken, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. At the beginning of the recruitment, everyone began to give orders.
For the matter of reciting poetry and orders, it was also Murong Yuxin's specialty. In Qinglian House and Du Changhuai's more than ten years of life, influenced by his poetry and wine habits, although he may not be able to chant famous sentences, various rules can be quite rigorous. Because of this, she doesn't have much objection to Zhaofu Tiyì.
After three rounds of drinking, the order is also intense. The rest of the people were defeated one after another, and only Zhaofu was still fighting with Ji Qin. Zhaofu has recently been favored by the great Confucian, and he has also done his best, and his academic attainments have been soaring all the way, and he is already far above Murong Yuxin. Since Ji Qin was able to get Wang Yunke of Huainan and was hired into the mansion to serve as the second lady's west seat, although there was a personal relationship with the second lady, her knowledge was naturally passable.
Therefore, the competition between the two is becoming more and more intense.
Jixiang and Zhaofu have a very good personal relationship, so they cheer for it, and Ruyi naturally goes to his wife, and naturally cheers for her with all his might.
Murong Yu was pleased to see that the two camps were facing each other and refused to give in to each other, and his heart suddenly became happy, he drank a glass of wine on his back, and ordered Facai to go to his room and take the Qingfeng that Murong Xu gave him a year ago.
Fa Cai obeyed his fate, and quickly ran, holding the three-foot long sword in his arms, and running all the way back.
Murong Yuxin had a sword in his hand, and he made a sword style, but threw the scabbard back into Facai's hand, and said with a smile, "You have done a good job in the wine order, so I will dance the sword to help the fun!" β
Zhaofu Ji Qin is busy overpowering the other party, where is the leisure to take care of her? Auspicious congratulations, Ruyi was so busy that they didn't forget to applaud her. Murong Yuxin's head shook slightly, and the tip of the sword flowed with fireflies, improvised in the courtyard with bright lanterns.
At the beginning, I saw that the sword took a calm route, one split and one slash, all of which had traces to follow, one by one, and strictly abided by the law. After the dance, I saw the silver light Huohuo, like a match, but when I saw the sound of the sword, I saw the graceful and agile figure of the sword dancer.
Murong Yuxin had already integrated this body into the sword move at this moment, and he had no distractions, not knowing how long it would take, and he didn't know who was outside. She returned to Qinglian House in a trance, her father Du Changhuai sat under the willow tree, when the poplar flowers were like snow, Du Changhuai was full of smiles, watching her figure be smart, and the sword was in the sky in the poplar flowers.
Ji Qin occasionally caught a glimpse and couldn't help but let out a "huh". She didn't know martial arts at all, and when she saw the second miss's situation, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What's wrong with the second miss?" β
But seeing Murong Yuxin's body suddenly, the colorful sword shadow suddenly disappeared without a trace. The second lady's temples were messy, panting slightly, and on her cheeks, there was a faint flush.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu hurriedly said, "The second miss must be drunk from eating, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and help the second miss into the room to rest?" β
It happened that Helian Wangbei walked in from outside and helped the second lady directly.
Murong Yuxin was furious and said, "Who said I was drunk? I just danced the sword too hard, sweating, and feeling a little tired. β
Fa Cai stepped forward and asked, "I wonder if Miss still wants to continue dancing the sword?" β
"Don't do it, I'm sleepy." Murong Yuxin handed the long sword to Fa Cai,
The second day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the scene of this day is naturally different from yesterday, but the various repeated rituals are almost the same. For Murong Yuxin, this was undoubtedly another day of hard work and extreme fatigue.
Finally, I was busy with the first day of junior high school. Murong Yuxin breathed a long sigh of relief, there would be no more of these repetitive, trivial and boring rituals in the future!
Every year on the occasion of the New Year, the people of Huainan County follow the tradition of going to the homes of relatives and friends to greet the New Year and congratulate each other.
The king of Huainan is a prince of a county, with an honorable status and prominent status, and there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to visit. There is a lot of traffic outside the gate of Huainan Palace, and the river is endless.
Although there are so many visitors, if it is not an important person, the prince will not go out to meet the guests. All of them were met by Murong Xu, the daughter of the world. Occasionally, the king of Huainan will specially order the eldest daughter to call this woman with him. The second lady listened to those clichΓ©s and official articles, and she was naturally annoyed. Just twisting around in the chair, not sitting at all.
Murong Xu thought she was embarrassed, and rarely called her later. The second lady is also happy to be quiet, and she is happy everywhere.
In this way, for several days, the welcome and hospitality of the Huainan Royal Mansion was taken over by the daughter Murong Xu, and she also advanced and retreated in a certain way, and she was relaxed. There was no mistake.
On this day, the porter suddenly entered the newspaper, and the guest of honor, the mother and daughter of the king of Heyang, came to visit.
The king of Heyang is the respect of the king, Murong Xu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to his mother. King Huainan naturally had to come forward to greet him in person.
Although the mother and daughter of the king of Heyang are tyrannical and lawless, and Murong Chengxuan does not want to see her, she has a prominent status, and a brother was elected to the palace, which is very favored today. For this reason, the king of Huainan was unwilling to blame her, and he planted a fierce opponent out of thin air.
The two princes met, drank and were half-drunk, and Situ Huan, the king of Heyang, made his intentions clear, but he originally wanted to invite a military position in the military department for his daughter Situ Ling in order to gain fame.
After hearing this, King Huainan looked at his eldest daughter, Murong Xu understood, thought for a moment, and said, "Now there are different positions in the army, and there has never been a vacancy. If Ling Mei really wants to gain fame in the army, there are several additional people for the position of infantry captain, but I don't know what to do? β
Situ Huan frowned slightly, and before she could speak, Situ Ling said dissatisfiedly, "Captain? Our Situ family is a dignified prince, how can we serve as the captain of that district. No matter what, you should be ......"
"Listen to the meaning of Sister Ling's words, and it's okay to the captain." Murong Xu interrupted Situ Ling's words and categorically refused, "In this way, it is beyond my ability." I didn't want to help, I really couldn't do it. The Lord of Wanwang is considerate. β
King Heyang was stunned in his heart, but he said with a forced smile on his face, "It's my daughter's heart that is too high, and it's not my nephew who refuses to help." β
"Wang Jue can understand the hardships of the little nephew, and the little nephew is very grateful." Murong Xu wanted to take the opportunity to unload the donkey and grind.
The king of Heyang changed his words, but said, "It's just that although my children have high hearts, they also have a high heart. She is very talented in bending bows and dancing knives and sticks. Benjue has visited famous teachers in many ways and deliberately trained them. Therefore, she is a person who is really capable, completely different from the ordinary gentlemen who protect the rest of the family. β
Murong Xu quickly glanced at Situ Ling, and said with a faint smile, "Well, what Wang Jue said is true, when the little nephew looks at Sister Ling, he knows that she is fierce and fierce, and she has the potential to be a brave general." β
Situ Huan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Although my child is not as good as a virtuous niece, but if you do martial arts in the field, don't talk about the champion, but take a list to explore flowers and the like, I believe it will be like a bag to take things, easy to capture!" β
Murong Xu listened to her boasting, and couldn't help but "poof" and laughed.
Situ Huan saw her laughing for no reason, knowing that she was faintly mocking herself, and she was naturally quite unhappy in her heart. At that moment, Murong Xu and his daughter were warmly invited to the martial arts training ground to learn from each other. Murong Xu is proud of his identity, where is he willing to compete with a notorious Huahua Sima Ji on the same stage? Do everything possible to shirk it.
But where was Situ Huan willing to let it go, but he only blindly entangled. Murong Xu was helpless, so he had to say, "My niece's age was originally a few years older than Sister Ling's. Now there is a sister in the family, named Murong Yuxin, who is not much different from Sister Ling. β
When King Huainan heard that the eldest daughter was going to use the second daughter as a shield, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and kept winking at Murong Xu. But Murong Xu was forced by the King of Heyang to be in a hurry, so he just wanted to get out, pretending not to see it.
But I heard that Situ Huan said happily, "For this second lady in the house, Ben Jue has also heard a little, and it is said that he is also a world-shattering, willful and bold master." It's very similar to the smell of my children. Coupled with the fact that they are close in age, there is some truth in letting them compete in the same game. β
Situ Ling was even more impatient, and she shouted at King Huainan with a big grin, "Wang Jue, speaking of which, the second young lady of your family also had a relationship with her niece in the past. For her, I have long wanted to meet and compete! β
Seeing that the matter had come to this, the king of Huainan could not shirk it, so he had to call a family member to summon the second lady to come to the hall to meet.
The second lady was actually bored in the courtyard, and when she heard her mother's summons, she immediately followed the family all the way to the hall
