Chapter 236: The Night Banquet
Feng Shi leaned weakly on the kang, and wiped his forehead with a honey-colored nail cuizhu ruyi pattern on his head, Luo Ying offered a decoction, and she raised her hand to push it away, shook her head and said, "This medicine is very difficult to drink." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Luo Ying persuaded: "Madam, the slave maid has prepared a candied fruit for you to send medicine, and if you drink it immediately, you will not be bitter." ”
Feng Shi shook his head: "I'm so old, am I afraid of hardship?" It's just that this medicine has never had much effect, so why force yourself to drink it? Is there any news from Jinglan Garden? ”
In the evening, the second grandmother went out in a carriage, saying that she was meeting the second master outside. The second master didn't come back. ”
"What about Master Hou? Why can't even he see him? "The quiet of Zhilan Garden this night was terrible, and Feng, a sick person, felt even more desolate and lonely.
Luo Ying lowered her head, a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. When Feng Shi saw it, he understood a little in his heart, and sighed, "Did he go to Aunt Sun?" It's so early! I won't even go back to the main house to do a show......"
Luo Ying wanted to persuade her, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the white hair on Feng's sideburns under the lamp, and couldn't help but jump in her heart, unable to say a word. Who doesn't love a pretty face? Madame is old, how can she compare with Aunt Sun in her early twenties? In addition, Mrs. Wu has been making trouble recently, and the Hou Ye is tired of it, and he even blames Mrs., so he is lazy to even come back to say hello.
The master and servant were relatively silent, and the room was eerily quiet. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and the little girl smiled: "Uncle is here!" ”
Feng's eyes lit up, and he was a little more energetic. Xu Yuzhao walked in, with a chilling cold air on his body, saw the medicine bowl by the kang, frowned and asked, "Mother, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Feng smiled: "What's uncomfortable? It's just that the weather is cold, and people are lazy. Why didn't you go to King Lu's Mansion? ”
"No, I won't. Yuqin has been in the limelight recently and has attracted a lot of attention. If my son also goes with him, our Yasukuni Mansion will be too dazzling. His tone was light, not showing too much emotion.
Feng Shi felt sour in his heart and held his hand, "Zhao'er, I have wronged you." Obviously, you are the eldest son and grandson, but you want to avoid your younger brother and give up the title. Now you have to sacrifice your own future to pave the way for your brother...... I'm sorry for you! ”
Xu Yuzhao held Feng's hand and smiled, "Where did my mother say?" How can a mother ever be sorry for her son? Everything was voluntary. My grandfather and eldest uncle both valued the second brother's intelligence and cleverness better than me, so they chose him as the heir, which was the most beneficial path for the Xu family. What is there for the son to complain about? Only if the Xu family is good, the son can be good, and everyone can be good! The second brother did not disappoint everyone, and in just a few months, he has become the emperor's most trusted and relied on confidant! No one in the DPRK dared to underestimate him. The mother is relieved that her son has his own way to go, and there is nothing for anyone to let or sacrifice for whom. ”
"Now I'm so tormented, Zhao'er! I look forward to your brother-in-law being pregnant, but I'm afraid that she will be pregnant. If you really give birth to a boy, your second brother ...... It's not my son anymore! Feng's tears couldn't hold back, and in front of his eldest son, they fell. Today's fact is that it has broken her heart, and she has an old illness again, and it is rare to be so fragile and sad in front of people.
Xu Yuzhao was taken aback, his mother has always been strong and the one who loves to laugh the most, what's wrong with it today?
He softly advised, "Mother, don't think about it. The second brother just went to the big house, and his name was hung under the eldest uncle, but no one could change the fact that he was your biological son. In the future, we will still live in the same courtyard, what is the difference between it and now? Mother, don't be sad, if you hurt your body, it's not worth it......"
The swaying branches outside the window finally lost the last dead leaves.
In the howling north wind, a carriage embroidered with green feathers stopped at the entrance of the alley, and a white and tender hand painted with bright red Kodan stretched out from the curtain, Xu Yuqin stood under the car and gently held that hand. Then the curtain flipped, Zheng Zixin took his hand and walked out of the car, his carefully dressed face was extremely bright, smiled sweetly at him, and called "husband" in a coquettish voice.
This is the first time Zheng Zixin has attended a banquet with her husband after marriage, and in the eyes of everyone who are surprised or envious, she has a straight back, holds her head proudly, and holds her husband's arm tightly with a smile. - She knew it was inappropriate to behave in public, but what did it matter? She is obsessed with Xu Yuqin, who in Beijing doesn't know? Now that he finally belongs to her, isn't she allowed to be proud and show off?
Xu Yuqin looked at her arm, but the words came to her mouth but did not speak.
The two walked into the main hall and immediately became the focus of the crowd. The male guests surrounded Xu Yuqin and praised him for his youthful and promising Sacred Heart, while the female guests pulled Zheng Zixin and praised her for her beautiful appearance and exquisite decorations. When King Lu and Princess Lu walked into the hall, the lively scene centered on Xu Yuqin and his wife changed.
The person who followed behind Princess Lu caused the second small climax of tonight's night banquet. - Yao Xinyue in Kyushu.
Rao is a proud and confident woman like Zheng Zixin, and she can't help but sigh secretly, this Miss Yao is really beautiful! She was wearing a light blue dress tonight, with a string of lustrous pearls hanging around her neck, and a few small and delicate spar hairpins on her head. Especially when she opened her mouth, her voice was soft, like a warbler's cry, which was extremely intoxicating.
Everyone got up and saluted King Lu and his wife, and then sat down and divided the guests, each with their own seats, Yao Xinyue sat under Princess Lu, which shows that in the minds of King Lu and his wife, this woman occupies a very heavy weight. The seat of King Lu's head was empty, and King Lu couldn't help asking, "Why haven't you seen the Marquis of Annan yet?" ”
There was no answer in the hall. Annanhou's popularity among the powerful is extremely poor, almost everyone here has been offended by him, and no one cares whether he is late. In some people's minds, it even felt that it was better for him not to come.
But the reality is always that people inadvertently slap a loud slap in the face. I heard a loud laugh coming from outside the temple.
"Haha, His Royal Highness King Lu, shouldn't you call Ben Hou a cousin? Sorry, it's late! It's just that Ben Hou is so good-looking, she has been dressing up for too long, Ben Hou is waiting for her downstairs, and she is also tired of waiting for Ben Hou here! ”
Helian County brought a good friend to the banquet? Immediately, the crowd craned their necks and looked out the door. I saw Helian Jun dressed in a black robe and walked in with his hands in his hands. Behind him was a woman with a good figure, covering her veil, and bowing to Yingying, "Minnu Jia Qingxue, meet His Royal Highness King Lu, Princess Niangniang, meet your lords." ”
She curtsied. At the same time, the light veil on the face was removed.
When everyone looked at it, they couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. This woman's appearance is not bad, and her autumn-like eyes are especially vivid. It's just that the complexion is very dark, the eyebrows are too thick, and the lips are too thick, so he forcibly reduced the color of ten points to six or seven points. Compared with Zheng Zixin and Yao Xinyue in the hall, the color is too mediocre.
Princess Lu silently handed Yao Xinyue a "don't be impatient" look, got up and arranged: "Welcome uncle, please take a seat!" Come on, quickly set a table for this light snow girl! ”
"Not necessarily!" Helian Jun stretched out his big hand, grabbed Wei Yan's shoulders, pointed to the position of King Lu's head and said: "She is Benhou's woman, so naturally she sits with Benhou!" ”
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the two walked hand in hand to the seat. Xu Yuqin looked at the hands that the two of them were holding tightly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. But Zheng Zixin opened her mouth suspiciously, "This light snow girl, have we met somewhere?" (To be continued.) )
