Qin Wanjing heard what she said, and she was upset for the Li family in her heart, but she didn't ask He Jingfu where she heard this, and said with a smile: "You didn't see it yesterday, but it's interesting, the Deng family has to bet with the Li family to try hunting, the loser pays the winner, the Deng family loses miserably, Yun Niang is willing to gamble and lose, and pays the Li family." ”

He Jingfu listened quietly.

Qin Wanjing continued: "Another thing is this, Xiao Shizi dropped the money bag containing broken silver into the mountain when he was hunting, and he only had a few silver tickets of one hundred taels of silver on his body. The seventh prince gave ten taels of silver to reward the soldiers. ”

"I see." He Jingfu nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

At noon, several people climbed to the most luxurious attic on the shore of the Lotus Lake.

The Li family was the first to come, occupying the best large private room on the highest floor, with eight windows, opening a very wide field of vision, and the lake breeze poured in, which was very cool and comfortable.

The palace maid first served water tea snacks and dried fruit preserves, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maojian, tea knife cut, almond bergamot, crispy apples, Heyi cakes, tiger skin peanuts, strange flavor flat, milky white grapes, snow mountain plums.

The Li family sat down and used some, and eight palace maids rushed in, presenting 21 cold dishes, hot dishes, and soups.

Cold dishes with four cold meat and crispy ginger eggs, Kyoto kidney balls, crispy fried crucian carp, phoenix eye waist, four cold vegetarian vegetarian Zhai hooves, vegetarian bamboo shoots, vegetarian noodles root, vegetarian white mushroom.

Four hot meat dishes: gooseskin sturgeon, crab roe fresh mushroom, hosta chicken, night shrimp, four bowls of first-class official swallows, phoenix tail big skirt wings, elephant bald yuqin, money leopard, four steamed seafood, broad-bellied pigeon, oolong elbow, lamp-roasted lamb leg.

Soup: A straw mushroom egg drop soup. (The name of the dish is taken from Baidu.) ）

The staple food is Suzhou Bijiao rice, vegetarian cold noodles, gold and silver silk rolls, and three fresh noodles soup.

Two musicians play the piano, two maids dance in the middle, and two maids stand aside and sing softly.

Qu Shi saw the scene when he was in Tanzhou, and he was not timid here, enjoying the song and dance while enjoying the food, and he was in a very happy mood.

These days, Li Mansion visited Haiwang Mansion, Xuanjun Palace, Qin State Mansion, Deng Guo Mansion, and Tian Guo Mansion, and had a meal in the latter four mansions.

The chefs in Sifu are all famous chefs from all over the world, and the dishes they make are very distinctive and delicious.

Especially in the Qin State Mansion, because Qin Xionghuang and Mi are both from Hunan Province, the chef also invited here, the dishes are mainly Hunan cuisine, which is very suitable for the taste of the Li family.

Li Bing used to like to eat and chat with his family during dinner, the reason is that they are busy and have no time to communicate, and they don't talk when they eat together.

Li Yunxiao smiled and asked, "Sister, how is the food you used this time better than the one you used last time?" ”

"Good. Expensive. Li Jingjing only said two words, and then said no more.

There were more than 100 people last time, and if each person was to use the standard of this meal, where would the 1,500 taels of silver given by Murong Ying be enough.

She is not a person who doesn't know what to do, she was invited by the royal family to eat and play, and she still said that it was not good, it would be too inauthentic.

A middle-aged eunuch who didn't need to be fat came in, and he bowed respectfully to He Yiyang and the Li family, and said, "Princess Ouyang learned that the nobles are eating here, so she sent a servant to invite the nobles to move downstairs and have a glass of wine. ”

It's just that before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and the palace maid opened the door with the consent of the Li family, and Princess Deng, Deng Shi, He Jingfu, Qin Wanjing and four slaves and maids who looked like Zhou Zheng came in and walked to the table.

The Li family and He Yiyang hurriedly stood up.

Deng Shi was wearing a simple and clean crescent-colored dress, with simple hair, only wearing a cicada-shaped hosta, and smiled affectionately at Qu's family: "Auntie, when my sister heard that you were here, she brought my niece over to toast you." ”

The tall and plump middle-aged woman in a lake blue dress next to her is none other than Princess Deng, the wife of King Rong.

"Madam, it's a coincidence, let's visit the Lotus Garden on the same day." Princess Deng pointed to the beautiful girl in an apricot yellow dress standing next to Qin Wanjing, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is Jingfu, the youngest daughter of me and He Rong." ”

"The Qu clan has seen the princess and the lord of Fujun." Qu walked out, and was about to bow to Princess Deng, but Princess Deng held her hands and shook her head and said sincerely: "Madam, you are the original wife of Mr., even Your Majesty and Queen have come to visit you in person, I can't stand your courtesy." ”

He and Li Jingjing secretly praised Princess Deng for her decent.

He Yiyang saw that Princess Deng was saluting Qu's family, so he came over and bowed and saluted: "Yiyang has seen the third aunt and Sister Fu. ”

Princess Deng's eyes were soft, but her mouth was very sharp, and she said angrily: "You kid has been back in Chang'an for so many days, and you don't know how to come to my house to recognize the door." Although your third uncle is not in the house, my third aunt is. You should come to my house once in the next few days, or I will leave you with the good things to give to others! ”

He Jingfu looked He Yiyang up and down, and quipped: "Yanglang, you are so tall, I don't dare to recognize it when I walk over from the other side." Do you remember, when you were a child, I hugged you and you wet my new dress? ”

He Yiyang's face was flushed with shame in the laughter of everyone, but he felt that Princess Deng and He Yifu had sincere eyes, and planned to visit Rongwangfu tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The Li family saluted Princess Deng and Lord Fujun one by one, and the three families took a cup and drank some wine, and Princess Deng and the Deng family went downstairs.

The fat eunuch who had sent a message to Princess Ouyang stood aside with an embarrassed face and watched the whole process, and could only speak again.

He reached out and patted Qu's thigh twice, signaling her to sit still, taking Li Jingjing and her twins, and letting the eunuch lead the way out of the private room.

Qu's rank is the same as that of the princess, except for whether she is the county duchess, the county lord, or the lady of the princess.

Li Laoshi and Li Quzhi are adults, and Li Yunxiao is also over seven years old, so it is not suitable to appear on occasions with many female dependents.

He Yiyang didn't want to see Princess Ouyang.

It was the He family who only took their daughters and twins to see Princess Ouyang.

The spacious and bright private room has a total of four tables of wine and dinner, and more than 40 women, girls, and children in colorful and gorgeous dresses are filled.

"Princess, the Li family's county lord He, county lord Jing and the two little sons are here to toast you." The fat eunuch walked behind a beautiful lady with a cumbersome peony on her head, wearing three diamond diamonds, a golden hairpin, and a long purple skirt sitting at the middle table, leaned over and whispered a few words.

The beautiful lady in the purple dress is Princess Ouyang, and she brought her daughter and several large families to visit the Lotus Garden.

The beautiful girl in the red dress sitting next to her is He Jingyun, whom Li Jingjing met at the poetry meeting a few days ago.

"He Liyi has seen the princess and the county lord."

"Li Jingjing has seen the princess and the county lord."

"The boy He Jiye (Li Yunfei) has seen the princess and the county lord."

He and his three sons and daughters stepped forward and bowed generously.

"Someone came to give wine to the two county lords and the two little langs." Princess Ouyang's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she raised her hand to signal, and a palace maid brought a plate, in which were placed four small glasses of delicate green and white porcelain wine glasses containing white wine.

"Thank you princess for the wine." He Shi's voice was flat and she couldn't hear the emotion, she and Li Jingjing picked up the wine glass and drank it dry.

The twins also drank the wine from a decent glass.

Princess Ouyang was about to speak under the envious gaze of her mother's family, and He said respectfully: "Princess, county lord, please use it slowly, let's step down." ”

Princess Ouyang smiled and said: "He's family, this princess came in a hurry this time, she didn't bring gifts, you take your children to the palace another day, and this princess will give them some treasures." ”

"Yes." After He responded, he withdrew with his three children.

The twins' faces were flushed, and when they walked up the stairs, they looked around and saw that there was no one, and immediately took out the handkerchief and spit out the white wine in their mouths.

"The wine is so spicy."

"If I don't leave, I won't be able to swallow it in my stomach."

Li Jingjing laughed twice, touched the hair of her two younger brothers, and said softly: "Wine is not a good thing, drinking too much hurts your body." ”

When Qu learned that the twins had drunk liquor, he immediately pulled the twins over, frowned distressedly, and said, "Why do you still let the four-year-old fine girl drink?" ”

He Shi said lightly: "I'm afraid it's the rules of the palace, everyone has to drink, if we don't drink, it will look like we are petty." ”

Li Jingjing described: "There were four tables of wine and dinner, and there were many people seated, including three five or six-year-old Xiaolang, I specially looked at them, they drank tea, not spirits. ”

She is the second grade, and the He family is the third grade county lord, and the people of the Ouyang family did not get up to salute their mother and daughter.

Just now, she also saw that Ouyang Xiu, who she had seen in the poetry club, was stuck to the chair like a person from the Ouyang family, and she had no intention of getting up at all.

This is the Ouyang family of the four major families in Chang'an, she really didn't know where to know the truth, Ouyang Xiu's father is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay." You can't care about everything. You can't suffer a loss for a big thing, and you can't suffer a loss for a small thing? ”

He's heart is like a mirror, Princess Ouyang put on this show today, because the two sons were rejected by Li Bing when they went to the north and lost face.

Princess Deng's only son was also rejected by Li Bing as an apprentice, but he personally went upstairs to toast Qu's.

In the same way, Princess Deng is much smarter than Princess Ouyang.

He thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: No wonder King Shengjun did those outrageous things in Tanzhou, it turned out that there was a biological mother like Princess Ouyang.

Li Laoshi nodded and said, "Sister Yi is very reasonable when she says this. Looking at Li Quai, his four children and He Yiyang, he instructed: "Now in Chang'an, no better than in Tanzhou, you go out, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss in small things." ”

Qu Shi picked up vegetables for the twins, his eyes were kind, and he said to the Li family: "This table of dishes is very expensive, eat more, don't waste it." ”

After the family was full of wine and food, they took a short break in the private room, went down to the attic, and went to the courtyard room in the garden to take a lunch break, and waited for the hottest time after noon, went to the pond to fish, and waited for dusk to leave.

Princess Ouyang and her family had a good meal in the attic, left the table and walked out of the private room, and happened to meet Princess Deng's mother and daughter and Deng's mother and daughter at the staircase.

The two princesses barely spoke when they met in the palace, but they quarreled as soon as they didn't say a word.

This time, Princess Ouyang drank too much wine happily just now, and when she saw the Deng family whose appearance had not changed in the past few years behind Princess Deng, she thought of Concubine Liu, who looked like the Deng family and had a concubine, the fire in her heart was blazing, and she screamed: "Yo, who is this, dressed so brightly, who do you want to lose someone's eyes?" ”

Since Qin Nan's death, the Deng family has been wearing plain dresses and simple hairstyles, and I really didn't hear that Princess Ouyang was ridiculing her.

Princess Deng already knew about Princess Ouyang's toast from the Li family, and when she saw her coming up, she didn't even call her sister-in-law, so she made a provocative speech, stared at her and said coldly: "I have never seen such unruly, the face of the royal family has been lost by you!" ”

Princess Ouyang couldn't let the big hat of "losing the face of the royal family" be buttoned on her head, and asked rhetorically: "Do you make it clear?" ”

Princess Deng said loudly: "He Li didn't tell you that when he was surrounded by enemy troops outside Liquan Town, he was so hungry that he ate cotton roots, who persuaded everyone to send troops to rescue him?" ”

Princess Ouyang snorted lightly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "The prince told me. Isn't it Taishi Li Bing, so what? As a courtier, Li Bing is in his duty to save His Majesty's brother-in-law! ”

Princess Deng asked rhetorically: "Why don't you see others doing this?" ”

Princess Ouyang said: "The prince has not forgotten Li Bing's kindness. ”

Princess Deng said coldly: "A few years ago, Your Majesty Mr. Feng's family was three marquis and three county lords, and all civil officials were opposed, including officials from your Ouyang family, why didn't He Li stand up for Mr. at that time to say a fair word?" ”

Princess Ouyang said, "What you said is all about old rotten grain. ”

Princess Deng scolded: "It's really a family that doesn't enter the door, it's all arrogant, ungrateful, and treacherous!" He turned his head and said to He Jingfu and Deng's mother and daughter: "Let's go." ”

Princess Ouyang was even more annoyed when she was scolded, sneered a few times, and mocked: "Deng Xiyu, it's not good for you to bring someone who is not good for Grandma Ke, Uncle Ke, Brother Ke, Brother Ke, and Kefu?" ”

Princess Deng had already seen clearly the Ouyang people behind Princess Ouyang, and her face remained unchanged and she took two steps back, which was in the middle of the staircase, and below was the wooden staircase leading to the next floor, and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand who you are talking about?" ”

"This princess is talking about her - Deng Xishu who hooked up with a man as soon as her husband died." Princess Ouyang took two steps forward with a strong momentum because of the large number of people, if it weren't for Princess Deng's block, her right hand with dankou dyed with her nails would have poked into Deng's eyes.

Her voice was so high and loud that it could be heard by everyone in the hallway and the private rooms on this floor.

Deng Xiyu is Princess Deng. Deng Xishu is the Deng family.

Deng Shi was not afraid at all, looked at each other angrily, and shouted: "Princess Ouyang, you are spewing blood and slandering my reputation!" ”

Princess Ouyang asked, "Do you dare to say that you haven't thought about the establishment of this princess?" ”

Qin Wanjing stood in front of Deng Shi with her hands clenched into fists, but she was pulled aside.

Deng's eyes were like torches, and he said loudly: "My husband stands up to the sky, loyal to the country, killed in battle, he only has one wife in his life, he is very good to me, I am fortunate to have this husband, it is a blessing from the previous life, how can I look at others again!" ”

Princess Ouyang was full of alcohol, and she had already ignored Princess Deng's eyes that could kill people, and took a sip on the ground, shouting: "Shameless slut, saying one thing is doing another, if you are really widowed for Qin Nan, just stay in the Qin Mansion honestly, always jumping around in various mansions, what is it not to seduce men?" ”

Deng Shi was so angry that his body trembled, and he was extremely angry, but he still didn't scold, and said very calmly: "What you said today, I have remembered it word for word, tomorrow I will go to the morning to beat the drum and sound the grievances, so that Your Majesty can listen to how the princess of the royal family bullied and slandered the surviving people after his love killed Qin Nan." ”

"Slut, this princess will tear your mouth and see how you sue the royal court!" Princess Ouyang regretted saying the wrong thing, took two steps forward, and waved her hand to bypass Princess Deng and slap Deng.

Princess Deng quickly pulled Deng behind her, and calculated that Princess Ouyang would impulsively catch up and fight.

She grabbed Deng's arm and quickly stepped aside, emptying the entire staircase behind her.

Princess Ouyang kept staring at the Deng family, where could she take care of the below, and as soon as she stepped on the air, the whole person rolled down the stairs.

Her head thumped against the nine-section wooden steps, and the creepy screams echoed through the stairs, scaring the people of the Ouyang family, who still had a villainous smile on their faces.

He Jingyunhua, who had been looking at the excitement, lost her face and exclaimed, "Mother." ”

The Ouyang people were stupid.

"Princess!" The slave maid of the palace screamed and chased down the stairs.

Princess Ouyang rolled all the way to the end of the stairs, her head down and her ass pouting, half her life gone, and the blood flowing from her nose fell from the wooden steps.

He Jingyun and the two slaves and maids helped up Princess Ouyang, who was about to faint with a large black blue nose on her forehead, and cried, "Mother, why did you fall down the stairs?" ”

Princess Ouyang's body was in pain, she was extremely frightened, she was halfway awake from the wine, she relieved herself, raised her eyes and saw Princess Deng and Deng Shi looking down at her, and suddenly wanted to eat their flesh.

He Jingyun shouted at the two eunuchs of the Lotus Garden, who had caught up with him when he heard the sound: "So eyeless, why don't you go and call the imperial doctor of the Lotus Garden to treat my mother and concubine!" ”

Princess Ouyang whispered weakly: "The Duke of Qin's Mansion is cowardly, even the Hong family of the Duke of Tian's Mansion dares to knock on the door." Today, you will ask our house and my mother's family to beat Deng Xishu's slut to death directly. If Deng Xishu is alive, he will definitely sue the court as soon as possible, and my princess position will not be guaranteed. ”

She said in her heart: Deng Xiyu, I will let your sister die in front of you. Let you regret fighting me in pain for the rest of your life!

He Jingyunxin has always been ruthless, a few years ago, he almost killed He Jingqing's slave in order to remove the spotted ointment, but this time he got the order of Princess Ouyang, and he did not hesitate to kill.

She raised her head and shot the light, and shouted to her entourage and the Ouyang clan: "Deng Xishu pushed my mother down the stairs with a femme fatale, and beheaded according to the law, you will kill her to avenge my mother!" ”

Four of the eight slaves and maids in Liwangfu were skilled in martial arts, and they had killed and beaten people for Princess Ouyang and He Jingyun before, and immediately pounced on the Deng family.

Qin Wanjing rushed forward with an arrow step, and punched eight punches with both fists, actually stopping the four slaves and maids, and shouted: "You are all lowly, dare to murder the imperial court from the third rank of the lady, according to the law Ling Chi to death!" ”

Deng said angrily: "Whoever kills me will be punished." Jing Niang, don't show mercy to your subordinates. ”
