Chapter 400: The Gathering of Talents (2)
Juxianzhuang is very lively today, the chrysanthemum branches in the garden are green and jade, and the stamen is golden and fragrant, attracting butterflies to fly from the partition wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such a bleak autumn season is as gorgeous and vivid as spring.
But the great scenery is consumed by the air, and it can't attract people's half eyes to cherish it.
If there is no one, it is also wronged, and the people who are all in the garden are dressed in splendid costumes, shaking hands with each other and smiling.
Lord Cai, the prefect of Jiangning, was appointed as the governor of Shandong by the new emperor, ranking in the third rank. His husband had not been pregnant for several years, and was three months pregnant.
The moment that a man dreams of falling on him is on him, and the way he can think of to express his pleasure is to hold a grand family banquet in Juxianzhuang.
High-ranking officials and guests are carefully selected, celebrity chefs from all over the world gather, and prostitutes are entertained.
Everything was as it was supposed to be.
It's just that at this time, he is indeed a little dumbfounded. A large number of officials of all sizes who smelled far and far away came uninvited, far more than he could imagine.
At this time, his smile was a little stiff, even if the autumn wind was wet and cold, the beads of sweat on his forehead were still fine.
Suddenly, everyone was in a commotion, and their necks stretched out with joy.
He also looked at it, and suddenly became worried, but saw a person who was surrounded by a cluster, wearing a moon-white embroidered auspicious cloud pattern brocade robe, well maintained, with fine skin and white flesh on his face, and a mole on his eyebrows, with a slight smile on his lips, it looked extraordinarily friendly and kind, but it was Li Yannian, the left minister.
Cai Heng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was helped up by Li Yannian himself, he slowly glanced around, and then stared at him closely, his voice was extremely gentle, but the words he said did not mean gentleness: "Qiu Ju bloomed very well, and there were many visitors." It's not as quiet as Lord Cai said. I've worked hard to congratulate you. ”
Cai Heng suddenly felt that the garden was full of color, and the clouds and mist were above his head, and he said in a panic: "It's really uninvited, Master Li doesn't need to be disturbed, these people can't enter the inner hall, and the inner hall is still quiet." ”
Li Yannian snorted coldly, unable to distinguish joy and anger, and his tone was very light: "Just believe Lord Cai once, and don't you lead the way?" ”
Cut off the dragon claw chrysanthemum and startle a butterfly.
.......
The butterfly wandered and walked, fluttering and dancing, swaying through the garden path, and finally standing on the small window lattice, with pink wings one by one.
Even if the red candles are burning in the window, it is still dark and gray, and the room is full of half-used furnishings, but it is still clean and tidy.
Yuqiao was half-lying on the bed, sitting on the side was Mengyue, tucking the corners of the mattress for her, and Amitabha Buddha said in her mouth: "Brighting a person." Fortunately, there is no big problem, and you will not be easily angry in the future, and the two little cubs will fall to the bottom! ”
The door creaked softly, Qingqing leaned in halfway in, and urged repeatedly: "Sister Mengyue, hurry up, the steward shouted to go." ”
"Don't think nonsense, your husband will go with the imperial doctor to decoction some decoction to stabilize the fetus and nourish qi, and I will bring it to you later." Mengyue saw the warmth and coldness of the world, and her words were not empty and comforting, and she said a few polite words, and got up and left one by one.
The room was silent, Yuqiao looked stunned, she touched her hand on her bulging belly, and Sugar Candy Weibao squirmed shallowly, lazy and unwilling to move.
With the fear of the rest of her life, it turned out that she was angry and angry, and she was in pain, and her children were informed that they would be angry with her, and they would be angry with her, and they would be in pain with her.
This is the flesh and blood of her pregnancy and blood, and it is her dear baby, they are involved in each other, and they share weal and sorrow together. When I think about it like this, my heart is very soft.
A figure came in outside the door, it was Xia Houyin, holding a porcelain bowl in one hand and stirring the black paste decoction with a spoon in the other, sitting on the chair in front of him, scooping a spoonful and handing it to her lips.
He doesn't smile. Yuqiao didn't know what to say, so she obediently took the decoction and took it one bite after another.
After a while, the decoction bottomed out.
"I didn't mean to scare you." Seeing that he turned sideways as if he wanted to leave, Yu Qiao hurriedly opened his mouth and whispered: "Bian Xiaoman and I have a friendship, just like your friendship with Zhou Lang, or even deeper. At first hearing this bad news, it is difficult to control the ....... Don't be angry! ”
The soft and weak voice of obedience, like a light butterfly wing, flapped the heart, stirring up itchy and painful pity.
looked back at her, but also saw her raise her eyes to look at him, her eyes were facing each other, and the eyelashes were smeared with a faint red, like a shallow blush of rouge, Chu Chu melted his heart.
This woman is destined to be a catastrophe that he can't escape, and he has to send her back to his own man quickly, otherwise, what awaits him will be doomed.
"These prostitutes will have to leave tomorrow. But we can't wait. I heard that the market could buy a carriage, so I went to buy one and left the place at once. Xiahou Yin was silent, and said: "You asked me to inquire, what Miss Mengyue said is true. ”
Yu Qiao took a deep breath, as if he was about to crush the handkerchief in his hand, and asked him lightly: "I want to do something for Xiaoman, what is Xiahou Ye's idea?" ”
Xiahou Yin frowned, he didn't think it was as simple as just lighting incense and burning some paper.
"Otherwise, I won't be willing to go." Yu Qiao looked around the room and said slowly: "When the year is goodbye, the dowry embroidered for her is still in the house, and I hope that one day I can give it to her personally, but now I can't." I always feel that she is looking at me now, but she looks desolate. ”
As soon as the lips pursed, there was a puddle of water in his eyes.
"No tears." Xiahou Yin shouted in a dumb voice, lifted his robe and left: "How can a woman have blood on her hands, I will do this for you, don't think about it again in the future, wait for me obediently." ”
.......
The inner hall was really as Cai Heng said, only a dozen dignitaries gathered, sitting upright on both sides, and Li Yannian and Cai Heng and his wife sat in the center.
The prostitutes danced, the Oiran Mengyue pipa played, and sang a small song to help the fun, the song was like water, and the song was charming, and it was confusing people's hearts.
Mrs. Cai has not yet shown her belly, but she is already lazy to straighten her belly, touching it from time to time, and the corners of her eyebrows and mouth are complacent and arrogant.
She married Cai Heng for several years without having children, thinking that the concubine surnamed Bian and her husband had a big belly after a few times, and she was indignant and afraid that she would lose her favor, so she did the next foolish thing.
Originally, I just wanted to melt the blood and bones, but I never thought of asking for the life of the concubine, and I only complained that she was blessed and miserable, and her body and bones were weak and she couldn't bear it.
"Lord Cai is now reused by the new emperor, and his wife is pregnant with an heir, which is really a double happiness. I respect you. Li Yannian drank it all, with a faint smile in his eyes.
If he hadn't known that the new emperor didn't feel anything for him, how could he have come here to entertain perfunctorily.
Cai Heng hurriedly returned to the wine and said: "It is really because of Lord Li's promotion that Cai has today." In the future, he will be the head of the adult and dare not say anything else. ”
"That's a bad word! If it is rumored to go out, it will seem that the original appearance is high, and the new emperor will speculate for no reason. Li Yannian swept away the seat expressionlessly.
Everyone sweated, and they threw their hands to show their loyalty.
Li Yannian was satisfied with his jaw: "But this prime minister leads your mind, and I will not be able to benefit you all in the future." ”
The words fell, and the conversation began. After three rounds of drinking, I saw the maids come in and serve the plates of delicate snacks in their hands to the table in turn.
The dish is a blue lotus style dish, with golden Taihu crab fried crisp inside.
In front of Mrs. Cai alone, there is a plate of crystal white jade fresh peach-shaped cake, sprinkled with rouge frosting on the tip of the peach, decorated with a pickled plum, and the sweet and sour taste goes straight to people's noses.
