The banquet on this side of Xiaoyue Tower was divided into three floors, and before the banquet was about to start, the maids beside the queen came to the second floor in person, and they led several noble ladies to the third floor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the queen mother and the queen had already met with the women of Jiangnan and the ladies of wealthy families, and the third floor was full of people, and now they all went to the second and first floors according to their identities to wait for the banquet, and at this time only a few families with higher status and closer relatives were left.

A few girls went upstairs, only to hear Lu Xiang's mother, Lu Liu, smile and say, "Auntie, how blessed you say Sister Cui is, there are already three beautiful and lovely girls in the family, not to mention, there will be a good daughter-in-law in the coming year." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You like to make fun of people the most." After that, he smiled and waved his hand to call Jia Ning to come forward, took her hand and said, "Who said that Ayu is the most blessed?" I think this child is better than her mother-in-law's blessings. ”

Mrs. Yuan saw everyone praising her daughter and said with a smile, "She is a child, but she deserves such praise." ”

Cui Shi smiled and said, "I see that Jia Ning is good everywhere, why can't you be it?" ”

Mrs. Yuan was delighted to see that her mother loved her daughter so much, and she was more than praised by the Queen Mother, and smiled at her daughter. At this time, Yuan Jianing's hand was still in the hands of the Queen Mother, and her face was already like a peach blossom and a peony.

The Queen Mother put a very watery green jade bracelet on Yuan Jianing's hand, "This is only a meeting gift for the elders, and there will be better ones when you get married." ”

Yuan Jianing took it generously and thanked the Queen Mother. Naturally, the queen couldn't be left behind, and she also gave a golden hairpin to wear on her head.

"Sister Cui also thinks that I have few daughters, and the only Ah Xiang is a monkey who goes to the room to uncover the tiles, give me a well-behaved daughter." Lu Liu pulled Cui's hand and said coquettishly in a low voice. Although it seems to be a joke, in fact, Lu Liu's son-in-law Lu Che is 14 years old, and he has also reached the age of discussing relatives.

Cui Shi and his mother-in-law Pei Shi next to him looked at each other and smiled, and took Lu Liu's hand, "Ah Xiang doesn't know how to be loved, my mother-in-law praises at home every day, and my ears are going to be calloused." ”

Lu Liu was stunned for a moment, he originally wanted to marry a girl from the Xie family as a daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect the Xie family to belong to Ah Xiang, and then thought about Xie Yansheng's jade appearance, grace and elegance, the Xie family is such a generous and harmonious family, and there is no more blessing than being a daughter-in-law to their family.

So he said happily, "If Mrs. Tai really likes my little monkey, let her come and trouble you, but I can't accept it." ”

Pei Shi took the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Ah Xiang, where can her mother make trouble, the Queen Mother, your niece and daughter can make trouble in the Heavenly Palace." ”

The Queen Mother was also very happy when she saw that the Xie family intended Lu Xiang to be her granddaughter-in-law, "It's not like that, my Ah Xiang is a well-behaved and clever little noblegirl, where is like her mother, when she was a daughter in the Liu family, she almost demolished my father's study." ”

The Queen Mother teased Lu Liu's mouth, but she loved her niece and nephew very much in her heart, and let Lu Liu's shake her dizzy. He patted Lu Liu and said to Lu Xiang, "Quickly pull your mother away, my old bones can't help her trouble." ”

Lu Xiang was playing with the little sisters, and he didn't hear what the adults whispered before, and he didn't know that the two families had tested each other. Seeing the Queen Mother calling her, she smiled and said, "Queen Mother, Ah Xiang still expects you to be able to subdue my mother, no one can control her at home, even my father has to call her the king." ”

Lu Xiang's expression was innocent, and his speech was sweet and crisp, and the whole room couldn't stand up with a straight smile when they heard this answer. Lu Liu couldn't wait to cover his daughter's mouth, and his old face turned red and said, "You little monkey, what are you talking about, when did your father say such a thing." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and wiped her tears and said, "It can be seen that their family lives in Huaguo Mountain, but it is difficult for Lu Ziang to marry the king of the mountain of our old Liu family." ”

Lu Liu was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, but Lu Xiang was thick-skinned enough, he didn't care about everyone laughing, and he didn't care about his mother's eyes and knives beckoning her, but he laughed happily with everyone.

Han Qing was also so happy, but she forgot about her innocent little toothless little tooth, and was looked at by Lu Xiang, "I said that Sister Qing is pursing her mouth today, she is changing her teeth!" ”

Han Qing immediately closed her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and stared at her, like a little rabbit, but she refused to speak. The Queen Mother looked at her affection and beckoned Han Qing to go over and hold her in her arms, "Ah Xiang forgot, you changed your teeth when you were a child, and you were laughed at by your brother and cried all day long?" ”

Lu Xiang stomped his feet, "Queen Mother, I think you remember the wrong person, I never cry." The eagerness to clear up the look amused everyone again.

After a while, Aunt Liao came over and said that the emperor had a banquet there, and the queen mother let go of Ah Qing and said, "Ah Qing can't eat well because of changing teeth", and then said to the queen, "Let's have a banquet here." ”

There are not many people left on the third floor, the Xie family, the Rongguo Gong Han family, the Cui family, the Yuan family, and the Lu family are all big families, and they are related to each other, and the rest are only left by the governor of the He family, the governor of the Wei family, and the daughters of the three families of the Lu family are all commanded to have fun on the side.

Since the He family, the Wei family and the Lu family only brought their grandsons to Hangzhou, there were only these familiar little sisters left at the girls' table. The Queen Mother looked at the delicate girl on the table and was happy in her heart, so she said to Qiao's: "Look at this table of beautiful women, you can really eat an extra bowl of rice." ”

Qiao's eyes only have Han Qing, how have you looked at her little granddaughter lately, she is cute, "No, I don't know which young man will be cheaper in the future." ”

The Queen Mother knew that her friend had regrets for her granddaughter, and comforted, "I think the young man of the Xie family is the most blessed, and the girl of the Xie family will definitely be better in the future." ”

Qiao Shi nodded in agreement, "The Xie family is a spiritual master, where is there something unsatisfactory." If it weren't for the fact that there was a large family in Beijing, I wouldn't want to leave, and I would like to move to Hangzhou. ”

In the past two days, Pei's and Qiao's have also had a lot of contact, and their mentality has also turned around. Qiao's can maintain a friendship with the Empress Dowager Liu for decades, and his character and temperament are unique, and Pei's also has some good feelings for Qiao.

So Pei said, "Mrs. Han settled down to stay for a longer time, and also asked Doctor Chu to take care of her body, and if she has time to come to Hangzhou to play in the future, the Xie family will definitely sweep the bed and wait." ”

Qiao Shi was very happy to see that Pei's was sincerely invited, "You can say that, I don't know how happy I am in my heart, I just hope you can understand, my family has four sons and nine grandchildren, and I want to love Aqing's mind, which is not pretentious at all." In the final analysis, it was my son who didn't like it, so that our old Han family and our granddaughter lost their fate. ”

The others comforted one after another, and said comfortably and agreeably, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Only Jiang Shi held his breath in his heart, and said in his heart that this girl is simply the nemesis of my life, since I learned that my husband had such a daughter born in the outer room, I have not had a smooth day.

The mother-in-law said in public that her son was not like words, not that Sang scolded Huai, but that she, who was a daughter-in-law, could not tolerate people? Jiang Shi felt that the ladies in the house, the sarcastic eyes were like pricking needles, stabbing her body, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.

Jiang's person is still measured, and there is no one in this room who she can offend, so she held her breath and entertained without smiling. I secretly made a decision in my heart, and when I returned to Beijing, I would pick a few daughters from distant relatives to raise them in the Rongguo Mansion.

In fact, Jiang is completely overwhelmed, although she is the wife of the prince of Rong Guogong, but all the noblewomen here do not look at her in their eyes, who has the heart to think about her mother-in-law's attitude towards her, and talking to her is just a polite entertainment.

When the wine was drunk, the men in the pavilion by the lake were talking loudly and talking about orders, which was very lively, and the voice spread to Xiaoyue Tower. Through the wide open windows, the ladies could see the brightly lit men's seats.

The emperor saw that everyone was very interested, so he ordered the sons in the pavilion to perform their skills, and after a while, the sound of silk and bamboo also came. The female guests had also finished eating the chairman, and were eating refreshments and playing, when they heard music downstairs. The Queen Mother personally led her to stand by the window and look over.

Han Qing couldn't help but sigh, the ancients also played in the city, the moon on August 15 was big and bright, there were a few river lanterns floating on the lake, and countless lanterns were hung along the lake, just like day. The flowers and plants on the road are flourishing, and the pavilion is full of blooming flowers.

The beautiful sons of the world standing under the moon among the flowers, or stroking the qin or making Xiao, and those dancing swords under the moon, all have good looks and figures, which are comparable to the concerts of the Hallyu stars in later generations.

The male guests lie or sit in the lakeside pavilion, drink and compose poems, and some sing and dance with music, but no one is limited by the imperial power, but they are really intoxicated in the atmosphere of this festive gathering, which is very much Wei and Jin Dynasty.
