Chapter 136:-for-tat
By the time Gu led a group of people out of the hula, Duanwang Li Chengjing had already been surrounded by a group of men and came over the Weeping Flower Gate.
Gu Shi hurriedly knelt down, and the female dependents who came out from behind also knelt down with Hulala, saying that the prince was blessed.
Li Chengjing took a few steps forward and helped Gu Shi Dao, "Don't you dare to do this, today is the old lady's Qianqiu, please get up quickly." ”
The little eunuch who was following King Duan hurriedly helped Gu Shi up. Gu Shi, who stood up, had tears in his eyes, "How can the old woman be able to do it, a scattered life but the prince Lao is here in person, this life is enough." ”
"Don't say that, old lady, this king is really here to celebrate his birthday. If it weren't for Sister Zhi'er thinking, this king really wouldn't know that today is your old man's birthday. ”
After hearing what King Duan said, Gu Shi saw Xie Zhi walking out from behind King Duan, and said to Gu Shi in a dignified manner, "Xie Zhi wishes the old lady happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."
Wisteria looked up at Xie Zhi, who was still wearing a bright red dress, if Xie Ping hadn't left just now, it would have been like a twin. The whole face exudes a youthful atmosphere, bright and unusual, with a smile like sunshine on his face.
Wisteria squinted at Xu, and saw that Xu was looking straight at Xie Zhi, his two hands clasped on his abdomen, which seemed slightly tight. Wisteria frowned, isn't there something wrong with these two people? Last year in Xiangxuechi, the secrets and secret words between them were clear, could it be that something was going to happen today?
Gu Shi looked at Xie Zhi's flamboyant smile, and only felt that his brain was jumping suddenly. smiled and stepped forward to take Xie Zhi's hand, "Good boy, it's hard for you to remember the old woman's birthday." It's just that by generation, you have to call me grandmother, don't be like this. ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, thanks to the old lady, the concubine can follow the name of Miss Xie's grass." Xie Zhi turned to look at King Duan, as if he was lying to his father's spoiled daughter.
Wisteria looked at this Duan Wang carefully, he looked fair, and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses in modern times, which was the appearance of a university professor. But Wisteria, who knew what this scumbag had done, only felt disgusting now, extremely disgusting.
Xie Changfeng smiled behind King Duan and said, "Please also invite the prince to sit in the house for a while, it's really cold this day, but don't freeze the prince and the concubine." ”
Li Chengjing did not refuse when he heard this, nodded and walked forward first. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, when I walked to Xie Fang's side, I stood for a moment, turned my head, and glanced at Xie Fang meaningfully before continuing to walk forward.
For the Xu family, who knew the truth, she was frightened at this glance, this Xie Fang was married, and she was married to the county prince's mansion, and Xie Fang had completely grown up, this Duan Wang Ye would not have any more ideas. Xu didn't dare to think about it, and followed closely with everyone.
For a while, men and women, young and old, followed this prince to the middle hall, and those who had no grade, such as the side branches of the Xie family, were not qualified to salute the prince, and they were all taken to the side room by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion.
After Li Chengjing sat down in the middle position, he began a round of salutes of the Zheng'er Ba Sutra. This prince showed the kindness and amiability of the superiors, smiling and replying one by one.
After Jian Mo and Xie Fang finished the ceremony, they didn't forget to say one more thing, that is, they didn't come to congratulate when they got married, and now they are very relieved to see that the two of them are in love. provoked Wisteria to roll his eyes in his heart, what kind of elder are you, what a big breath.
When people come, they naturally will not be empty-handed. After everyone saw the ceremony, Duan Wangye's gift was pulled in, yes, it was "pulled" in.
Duan Wangye's gift turned out to be two snow-white alpacas. Everyone didn't know it, but Wisteria recognized it, but she didn't expect that there were also in this era, and they were taller and more beautiful than she had seen in her previous life.
Li Chengjing listened to the exclamation of the room full of people, and said with a smile, "This is Sister Zhi'er's idea, a while ago someone offered two for the son to play, Sister Zhi saw that this thing was docile, and it was also lovely, so that she wanted to raise two more when I got it, but I didn't expect the concubine to be so heartfelt, it turned out to be raised as a gift for the old lady's birthday, but she has been carefully raising it for more than four months." ”
When Gu Shi heard this, he quickly stood up, and Xie Changfeng also stood up, wanting to kneel in front of King Duan. Li Chengjing walked down from the top position and said, "Don't be polite, it's a happy day." There is still something in the palace, and it is inconvenient for the king to stay for a long time, but it is rare for Sister Zhi to go back to her parents' house, so she will let her be closer to everyone, and the king will send someone to pick her up later. ”
Li Chengjing was the same as when he came, causing everyone to kneel and salute again.
Gu's birthday banquet was finally put on the table, because there were not many people, so a large screen was set up in the middle, with men outside and women inside, and six tables were placed.
The prince Xie Qing said an opening remark, and the prince who prides himself on being a writer and ink writer was talking for a while, and even Xie Changfeng's slightly frowning eyebrows didn't scare him. Wisteria stood there looking at this prince, no wonder Xie Ping was so angry, his wife was about to die, or because of him, but he was able to talk so loudly with a spring on his face.
Just as everyone raised their glasses and echoed Xie Qing to drink, suddenly Xie Zhi's voice came,
"Today is the old lady's birthday, why didn't I see my brother and sister-in-law and nephew, this is too unusual, how can you forget such a big event?"
When Liu Shi heard this, he chuckled in his heart. What I had been fearing all this time finally happened. In fact, Xie Zhi's brother and sister-in-law came yesterday, but she let an old mother block them out. She took over the housework since the Wang family was bedridden, and she didn't know many things, I heard that it was Xie Zhi's brother and sister-in-law, and when she inquired, it turned out to be the Xie Zhi who was given to Duan Wang Ye as a concubine, so she didn't take it seriously.
Just now I saw Duan Wang Ye personally send Xie Zhi here, she was already panicked, and after explaining the situation to Xie Hao, Xie Hao wanted to hit her big ear scraper, so he hurriedly sent the little maid to the inn to find it, but there are so many inns here, who knows where Xie Zhi's brother and sister-in-law live, and whether they left or not.
Seeing that no one answered, Qu answered, "Xu didn't know that his mother was celebrating her birthday, so she didn't come." ”
"Oh~ Mrs. Zhongwu, this is to say that my brother and sister-in-law don't know etiquette, I personally wrote a letter half a month ago to ask them to come, is the letter not coming, or is no one recognizing the person?"
As soon as Qu Shi heard this, this Xie Zhi was obviously looking for fault, so he shut up.
Xie Changfeng held the wine glass with an angry face, thinking about Xie Zhi's father saying his words in front of so many people, and when the bright dagger was slowly inserted into his chest, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but there was a smile on his face, and now he can be cold from head to toe when he thinks about it.
It's just that this Xie Zhi's sudden attack was instructed by King Duan? Or must there be a reason? This Xie Zhi's family is firmly pinched in the palm of his hand, otherwise it would be impossible to change the name of a girl who has been married to his cousin and send it to Duanwang's Mansion.
If it weren't for Duan Wangye's meaning, then Xie Zhi's brother and sister-in-law had found something else to rely on? That's impossible, isn't it? Xie Changfeng's mind was a little confused, from the moment Duan Wang Ye came, so he didn't dare to answer easily.
Liu Shi knew that he couldn't hide from this matter, so he tried to pull a stiff smile and said, "I've been busy with the old lady's birthday for a while, maybe I ordered my brother and sister-in-law to come to the house, and the subordinates were negligent and didn't report it?" Sister Zhi'er, don't worry, I'll ask someone to ask. ”
"Is this the rule of the house?" Xie Zhi used his small white hand with red nails to scratch the edge of the small blue and white bowl in front of him, word by word.
Liu Shi looked at her inexplicably, only to see Xie Zhi suddenly lift the tea bowl and pour a bowl of half-cold tea onto Liu's face.
In everyone's exclamations, Xie Zhi said lightly, "Princess Cairui is called Sister Ping here, and this time my dignified princess has been called by her name again, and the family rules of the ancient lady should be taught well." ”
After speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he slowly stood up, and said coldly to the Gu family, "The old lady had better find out the dog slave who has no eyes for me, and see what kind of poor and sour my brother and sister-in-law are, and they are actually regarded as poor relatives who come to beg for food." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to react, turned around and left. Because Xie Zhi and Xie Fang were sitting only one Xie Xuan apart, when they passed by Xie Xuan's position, they seemed to have tripped over their skirts and leaned towards Wisteria, Wisteria hurriedly reached out to support her, Xie Zhi looked up at her and smiled brightly and strode out.
There was a very ordinary black-headed carriage parked in the two alleys away from the Huai'en Houfu, and Xie Zhi was escorted into the carriage by a few personal soldiers.
Li Chengjing was sitting in the car and pouring tea into the cup, and when he saw Xie Zhi coming in, he handed over a cup and said softly, "Concubine Ai is so fast." ”
Xie Zhi smiled at Li Chengjing and said, "Don't dare to make the prince wait for a long time." ”
Li Chengjing lifted Xie Zhi's chin with one finger and said with a smile, "This king can give you enough face today, and you must do what you promised this king." ”
"Don't worry, the prince will take advantage of it." Xie Zhi threw a wink at Li Chengjing, and pressed Li Chengjing's lower body with one hand.
Li Chengjing hissed a chuckle and leaned into Xie Zhi's ear and whispered, "That object has been made, let's try it tonight." ”
Xie Zhi made a coquettish appearance and got into Li Chengjing's arms, but his eyes were full of despair when he looked out of the carriage. (To be continued.) )
