Chapter Forty-Seven: An Invitation to a State Banquet?

The old lady's hair, coldly squinted at Yuan Tian, and was furious, "What? Still not happy for my granddaughter to be coquettish with me? All right! You're old, and I can't control you anymore? Isn't it? ”

Yuan Tian was especially innocent, and he was shot like this.

He blinked, holding his breath, "What did Mother say?" How could the son have an opinion? ”

The old lady snorted coldly and muttered to herself: I'm really old, and my son dislikes me, alas.

When Yuan Tian heard this, he didn't cry or laugh, so he could only beg for mercy again and again.

After coaxing for a while, the old lady didn't care anymore.

Yuan Shanjia quietly made a grimace at Yuan Tian next to him, and then when he glared at him, he lowered his eyebrows and beat his grandmother's back, and his clothes were well-behaved.

The old lady patted Yuan Shanjia's hand, "Okay, okay, don't beat it anymore." You go eat first. Today the kitchen made a sweet soup, it tastes very good, you can taste it later, if you think it is good, I will ask Qin Mo to send you the recipe. ”

Yuan Shanjia listened, smiled and saluted, "Thank you, grandmother." "Back in position.

Eating is about chewing slowly, so it took them two quarters of an hour to finish a few bites. Of course, it may also be because you are not very hungry.

After the meal, Yuan Tiancai said to Yuan Shanjia and Yuan Shanqi: "Someone from the palace has sent an invitation to the state banquet, and both of you have it, so you have to go back and prepare." ”

"State dinner?" Yuan Shanqi's face changed slightly, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

They were not invited to state dinners in previous years. She only got the opportunity to go by chance the year before last. Why did you invite the two of them this year?

Yuan Shanjia was also a little puzzled, and set his eyes on Yuan Tian, there was no such thing in his previous life. Could it be that her rebirth has brought about some changes?

Yuan Tian's brows furrowed slightly, he was also a little puzzled, and he repeated many thoughts in his heart, feeling that there was a kind of crisis that could not be erased.

"Well, it was sent by the father-in-law in the palace, and there is also the seal of the Internal Affairs Office, there will be no mistake. The state banquet was held in July, less than two months away. So you have to be very prepared, both in terms of dress and etiquette. Especially etiquette, if there is anything other than mistakes, I can't help you. ”

Yuan Tian said hello in advance, afraid that his two daughters would go the wrong way.

He has already felt a little in the past few years, feeling that the forces that are secretly suppressing him are now being suppressed, but he can only retreat most of them, and he can't guard against it, for fear of attracting a stronger blow.

If he is alone, he is not afraid, but he is old, young and young, and there are also a group of soldiers who followed him from birth to death, so he is even more restrained by his hands and feet, and he does not dare to move at will.

If he could, he even wanted to turn down the invitation to the state banquet and go alone.

"My daughter knows." Yuan Shanjia and Yuan Shanqi said almost in unison.

"Go down and pack your things, and try to come back in the next few days. Mother and father stayed in the village now, and it was not too late to come back when the weather cooled down. Yuan Tian said again, "I still have official business, so I'll leave first." Mother, father, pay attention to the body. ”

"Hmm. You too. But the temperature is so high, do you want to write for a while before you go? The old lady looked at Yuan Tian with some concern, the temperature outside was so high, it seemed to be even hotter than before.

"No, Mother. How can my son's body be as weak as you think? Yuan Tian shook his head amusedly.

The old lady was dissatisfied, "Then who is holding his knees and shouting pain in winter?" ”

When Yuan Tian was on the battlefield, he was once hit by an arrow in the knee, so he was left with a dark wound, which always recurred in winter every few years.

Yuan Tian shook his hand and hurriedly strode out, "The child retreats." ”

The old lady couldn't say anything if she wanted to, so she could only mumble: "The child is really old, and he doesn't listen to persuasion." ”

The old lady soothed: "Tian'er is not small, and it is normal to have your own ideas." And busy with official business, especially in an eventful season, must be impatient to listen to you. ”

As I said before, the exit behind the old lady lit the fire of the old lady.

I saw the old lady's eyes glare, "You have smoked this month!" ”

She beckoned to Yuan Shanjia Yuan Shanqi, "Come, good grandson, you are going back, so let's accompany my old man." ”

Yuan Shanjia smiled and nodded, deliberately ignoring the pitiful eyes of the old lady.

Yuan Shanqi couldn't refuse the decision of his elders, and he had ideas in his heart, so he couldn't practice the piano well, so he also followed.

The old lady looked sadly at his empty pipe, he hadn't smoked all morning.

Yuan Shanjia glanced at him and felt that his grandfather was really pitiful, so he pleaded before going out: "Grandmother, why don't you give some to your grandfather." He was used to smoking, and he must have been uncomfortable when he didn't smoke for a while. ”

When the old lady heard this, the whole person seemed even more depressed, as if she was very uncomfortable with that sentence.

The old lady was a little dissatisfied, "Nannan, don't look at his pitiful appearance, he doesn't know how many cigarettes he has stolen in private." He thought I didn't know, but I had already discovered the box under the cabinet he had hidden. The smell of smoke is so heavy that our noses are out of order. ”

When the old lady heard this, he felt that the whole person was not good, and he had the urge to rush back to the general's mansion to see if the cigarette he had hidden was still there.

He pretended to look at the old lady innocently, in order to get forgiveness, and then motioned to Yuan Shanjia Yuan Shanqi with his eyes, asking them to help say good things.

Yuan Shanjia gave him a look helplessly, indicating that he had done his best.

Yuan Shanqi was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't see it at all. Even if she saw it, she wouldn't help plead.

The senator glanced at him triumphantly, and went away with her two granddaughters, leaving behind an old lady who looked like a dying quail.

General's Palace.

Yuan Tian rode back to the city, and the speed was extremely fast, and he arrived in two quarters of an hour.

Lin Zicong was waiting in the house at this time.

When Yuan Tian arrived, Lin Zicong was on the recliner under the shade of the trees, squinting comfortably, and Lin Sheng next to him was holding a fan and fanning the wind carefully, as if he was recuperating from his injuries.

When Yuan Tian saw it, he couldn't help but smile, carefully observed Lin Zicong's pale face, and felt a little curious.

"Yuda, this is powdered? How can it be so white, it can be compared to that beauty's clotted fat. ”

Lin Zicong still closed his eyes and replied calmly: "It's just that I'm a little injured, and I'm not well, so my face is a little pale." You have been nursing for two months, and you are no less white than me. Didn't you bask for a long time after that? There is no need to rub powder. ”

Yuan Tian coughed a little embarrassed, how can you expose people shortly?

In other words, the skin of the Yuan family is extremely good. Not to mention the old lady, she was born in a rich lady, and her skin has been maintained since she was a child, so it should be.

Let's talk about the old lady, he was born in the countryside with mud legs, and he has only been to school for a few days, and he is on the earth every day. But the body is excellent, once away from the sun, within a month, it will be as white as a country savage.

The same is true for Yuan Tian, if he hadn't gone to bask in the sun from time to time, outsiders would definitely look like a humble gentleman, not an iron-blooded general. Even if it is the current appearance, it is not too dark, and there is a lot of elegance on the body.

"Ahem. Yoda, what can you find this time? Yuan Tian hurriedly changed the topic.
