Chapter 196: Night Banquet (3)
It is said that the king of Rin County married Xiao Hongluan and brought a lot of dowry, and this palace is one of them. Although King Rin lived with Xiao Hongluan in Shouchun Garden most of the time, he often went to the palace to entertain friends and hold banquets.
The palace covers a large area, especially the back garden, which occupies half of the entire palace, and is beautifully built, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and pavilions and pavilions dotted in between.
No matter how fierce the competition between the open and the dark is, the door is a guest, Xiao Juejue still dressed up to receive Xiao Pengju's brothers and sisters and Zong Zhengke. She was joined by her younger brothers.
There are several half-siblings, the younger one is just over five years old, and the older one is eleven or twelve years old. It seems that these boys are all well-educated, unlike Xiao Juejue, who almost writes frivolity on their faces, and everyone is polite, humble and gentle.
However, Xiao Chenchen whispered to Zong Zhengke: "The dog that bites people doesn't bark, Cousin Ke should be careful." ”
Zong Zhengke's expression was faint, and he nodded lightly. She actually knew it, and she didn't need Xiao Chenchen to remind her, she also understood that the four boys in front of her, even the youngest one, had human lives in their hands.
In a humanistic environment like Tianxingguo, Xiao Hongluan's maverick family composition is undoubtedly discussed and even criticized. Even if the world is afraid of her background, the world does not dare to comment in person, but the rumors in the market are strange and unbearable.
It's no wonder that from Xiao Juejue to her younger brothers, they have all developed a violent and willful bad temper. Walking slowly behind everyone, Zong Zhengke looked at Xiao Juejue's sister and brother without a trace, and secretly alerted.
After a while, everyone went into the back garden and rested in a water pavilion. Xiao Juejue reluctantly smiled: "Let's take a look at the singing and dancing here first." At that time, Peng Cheng will take his brothers and sisters to the banquet. ”
Xiao Pengju smiled and said: "Sister Jue, although she is busy, we are brothers and sisters in our family, you don't have to be polite." ”
Xiao Juejue's eldest brother Xiao Pengcheng smiled gently: "Sister, even if you go, my younger brother promises to entertain sixteen brothers, seventeen brothers, nineteen brothers, five sisters and six sisters, and," his eyes finally fell on Zong Zhengke. A strange look passed under his eyes. Said slowly, "Cousin Zongzheng." ”
Xiao Juejue hooked her lips and smiled, and bowed her knees to everyone. Turn around and walk away. Xiao Pengcheng's expression was instantly excited, and he raised his palms and clapped continuously, and the musicians and maiko walked out from the second floor of the water pavilion one after another. There are also maidservants who bring good wine, tea, and all kinds of fruit snacks for everyone to enjoy.
Everyone has a case. Sit separately. Zong Zhengke and the wooden fish master and servant are in a good position, and the lake water of the water pavilion can be seen as clear as a mirror. It's dusk. The remnant sun is like blood, and the bottom of the lake seems to be crimson.
The singer's voice is sweet, and the singing voice lingers. The dancers are lithe, and their skirts bloom like flowers between the spins. Zong Zhengke does not drink alcohol. I only drank tea, tasted a few bites of dim sum, and all tasted delicious reads();. But. If you don't add any condiments to it, it probably tastes better.
Laughing inwardly. Zong Zhengke's demeanor was casual, and he didn't worry about the impact of this tea snack on him.
She has long been under the care of her senior brother, refining her body that is invulnerable to all poisons, and most of the drugs in this world are ineffective for her. Moreover, just in case, before leaving, Xiao Pengju had already asked everyone to take the precious white rhino antidote pill, and this medicine was not taken in vain.
However, when Zong Zhengke sensitively smelled a strange fragrance, he knew that Xiao Pengju's early prevention was in vain. This strange fragrance is actually the nemesis of the main medicine of the white rhino antidote pill, and smelling the fragrance for a long time will not only make the antidote pill ineffective, but also make the antidote pill transform into poison, which is not shallow.
From this point of view, the other party knew that Xiao Pengju and the others would take precautions, and even knew what kind of antidote pill they would take. The Summer Palace, I'm afraid it's not clean.
Zong Zhengke sighed secretly, since she promised Xiao Pengju to take care of Xiao Junjun, she couldn't break her word. So she got up and walked along the corridor towards a crane incense lamp that was only faintly visible behind the curtain.
Such an abrupt move naturally attracted the attention of many people. Xiao Pengju's heart jumped, knowing that Zong Zhengke was not a willful person, and there must be a reason for her to act like this. What does she want to do?
Xiao Pengcheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he stood up, and stopped Zong Zhengke's path in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Cousin Zongzheng, but this song and dance is not in line with my cousin's wishes?" ”
The singing stopped, and the dancers stopped and fell to their knees, trembling. Looking at Xiao Pengcheng's implicit murderous eyes at this time, it seems that as long as Zong Zhengke doesn't say a word, he can execute all these kabuki.
Zong Zhengke raised his eyes to look at the handsome young man in front of him, no matter how good his skin looked, he couldn't hide his vicious heart. She said lightly: "Eighteenth cousin, I like that incense lamp very much, can you take it for me to see?" ”
Her thin white fingers pointed straight at the incense lamp that still exuded a curling fragrance behind the curtain, and her expression was cold. Xiao Pengcheng gritted his teeth secretly, knowing that the other party had seen through the mystery in the incense lamp.
The corner of his eye swept Xiao Pengju who was on the table, and he could only smile and say: "That lamp is liked by my cousin, and it is also its creation." Little brother, let people serve it. ”
"I'll fetch it myself." Zong Zhengke said. She took a few steps forward, Xiao Pengcheng took a few steps back unconsciously, and after realizing it, she was embarrassed.
"Huh!" Xiao Pengju slowly stood up and raised his voice, "Cousin, a delicate woman, how can you take the incense lamp hanging high?" Let me serve my cousin. ”
Xiao Pengcheng raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If you ask the sixteenth brother and Cousin Zongzheng to take things by themselves, tomorrow the younger brother should not be able to raise his head in front of the clansmen." He commanded, "Ahsan, go and fetch the incense." Be careful, don't break it! ”
It is clear that Ahsan will break the incense lamp, so that the spices will suddenly emit out, and make a last resort! Zong Zhengke sneered in his heart, seeing Xiao Pengcheng turn his face to look away, her figure flickered, and she swept by Xiao Pengcheng's side as lightly as the wind.
Xiao Pengcheng was not without vigilance, but seeing that Zong Zhengke was just a weak woman, no matter how vigilant she was, he didn't expect her to be so bold. The sound of the wind flickered in his ears, and he slapped hard at the place where the wind came from without thinking.
Xiao Pengju really looked at it, and scolded sharply: "Stop! He was really like a Dapeng bird spreading its wings, waving its long sleeves, and attacking Xiao Pengcheng with a fierce wind.
Xiao Pengcheng is young, and he is not wary of Xiao Pengju being so heavy-handed. He was paying attention to Zong Zhengke's side, so he was hit right by Xiao Pengju's blow. With a miserable scream, Xiao Pengcheng was swept away by the wind, slipped and fell to the ground, and hit his head on the pillar. (To be continued)
