Chapter 364: The Hundred Days Banquet
In November, if people only need to add an extra jacket in Chizhou, it will be very comfortable, but the capital is very cold, and they must wear silk jackets to withstand the strong north wind, and the rainy day will be dark and dreary, as if the raindrops are mixed with snow particles, and the cold invades the bones.

Jinxiu doesn't like to go out on a rainy day, but Qian Fu does a happy event, and as a second-room heir and daughter-in-law, he can't help but go.
It has been more than half a year since the Qian Mansion moved back to the capital, and the happy events continued, marrying a daughter-in-law and adding a new ding, this is the fourth case, a large family, life is obviously smoother and better than when they were in their hometown.
Today is the 100-day banquet for the eldest son of the third son of the second uncle, Luo Zhen has to go to the yamen on duty, and said that when the good things are done, he will go directly to the Qian Mansion, have a few glasses of wine with his cousins, and then the couple will go home together.
The Tian family of the other courtyard was accompanied by Jie, and Aunt Ruan of Jiafu was also accompanied by Jia Yu, Jinxiu didn't need to rush over to them, so he took a carriage on time, took a few personal entourage, and was escorted to Qianfu by Jiang Yan, Hong Caiyi and Zhu Mi.
Although they are in the same capital, the Qian Mansion and the Baoding Hou Mansion are separated by several neighborhoods, which are quite far away, and the splendid two-horse carriage is very brisk, and it takes more than half an hour to arrive.
Qian Mansion is full of guests today, at this time it is the time when the guests come the most densely, the carriage and horses are congested in front of the door and can't move, want to sit in the carriage directly from the side door of the east corner into the inner courtyard to the second door, you have to wait patiently, Jinxiu let the incense branch lift the curtain to see the crowded scene outside, decided to get off in front of the gate, and walked in from the gate with the male guests.
It's not a boudoir girl who is ashamed to show her face, and she is not afraid of men looking at it.
In the past, Jiang Yan or Hong Caiyi picked her up under the carriage, and Jinxiu didn't look closely at the people under the car, and habitually stretched out his hand, but before he touched it, another person in the oblique thorn rushed up, grabbed Jinxiu's hand, and shouted to the original person: "Get out!" β
Jinxiu looked at it in surprise, and couldn't help sweating: what he wanted to help himself out of the car before was wearing a fancy brocade robe, smiling more and more like a demonic Zhu Fan, and was driven aside by Jiang Yan, who ran over in time.
Hong Caiyi handed over the horse to the servants, strode over from the back of the team, rolled his eyes at Zhu Mi, and walked to the gate on the other side of the splendid embroidery.
Jinxiu looked back at Zhu Mi, Jiang Yan scolded him for being fine, and Hong Caiyi rewarded him with a roll of his eyes, which actually looked quite aggrieved.
It is really a headache for a man to be bright and charming, but he also likes to wear clothes with bright colors and flowers, even if he is a serious man's attire, he is a man who is like a fake, but he is often misunderstood that he is a woman dressed as a man, maybe this is also the reason why Luo Zhen sent him to Jinxiu as a guard, and he used it as a female guard.
The close guards always inevitably occasionally help the young lady to get out of the car, Jinxiu is not an old antique thought, they are all acquaintances, and they do not exclude male guards, but Jiang Yan and Hong Caiyi are tightly guarded, and they will never give them a chance until they have to.
Jinxiu asked Hong Caiyi with a smile: "I haven't seen him so active in the past, what's wrong with him today?" Nothing to do, but not like him! β
Hong Caiyi used the jade snow paste made by Jinxiu in the cave, the eye-catching whip mark on his face has long disappeared, and his complexion is ten times better than when he first came, the snow white and delicate, and the blow is broken, which is an ordinary appearance, because of such good skin, it is enough to attract people's eyes, and when he heard Jinxiu's question, his face turned red, and he looked away embarrassedly, and replied: "How do I know what kind of demon he has suffered?" β
Jiang Yan next to her stretched out her head and glared at her hatefully: "What other demon can it be?" As far as his thoughts about you, the whole house can see it, and you don't care if you agree or not, give it a good time! β
Hong Caiyi blushed and lowered his eyes and was silent.
Jinxiu looked at the two female guards left and right, and secretly surprised in her heart, the fate of this thing is really unclear, Jiang Yan and Hong Caiyi have been by their side for a long time, thanks to the various foods and beauty products in the gourd cave, they have changed a lot, but in comparison, Jiang Yan is better than Hong Caiyi's appearance, but the demon Zhu Fan likes Hong Caiyi, and when Hong Caiyi has whip marks on his face and is abandoned by a scumbag and is depressed, he falls in love with others.
There are indeed a lot of legends about this matter, Zhu Fan has been pursuing, Hong Caiyi has never let go, but because of Zhu Fan, she is much more cheerful, and she has already completely let go of the previous relationship.
Since the two are in love, and the age of the two people has also arrived, they are both in their early twenties, and the best ending is to be fulfilled.
Jinxiu deliberately let Zhu Mi, who was following behind, also hear, and said to Hong Caiyi: "I look at him like a good person, if you want, Master Hou and I can be a marriage matchmaker for you, how about it?" β
Hong Caiyi's face turned even redder, bit her lip, and nodded: "I followed Master Hou in the early years, and now I am the young lady's person, everything is up to the young lady!" β
Zhu Mi pricked up his ears behind him, and was overjoyed when he heard the words, regardless of whether he could see Jinxiu or not, he bowed down and frequently waved at her, and said loudly: "The subordinates are all under the arrangement of the Hou Ye and the young lady, thank you Hou Ye and the young lady!" β
Splendid: "......"
Sister is so democratic, but in the end it still becomes an arrangement?
Several cousins of the Qian family who greeted the guests at the gate had already seen Jinxiu get out of the car, and immediately let people enter the house to report, and the fourth grandmother of the same generation came out to greet her, holding Jinxiu's hand, laughing all the way into the inner courtyard, seeing the two aunts, saying congratulations, and going to the guest seat to have refreshments.
Tian and Jia's aunt came early, and the fourth grandmother was very understanding and led Jinxiu to their table to sit down, let the maid change fresh fruits and hot tea, and then accompanied the conversation before leaving to greet other guests.
Although Qian Fu has been away from the capital for a long time, but after all, the ancestors were a scholar of the imperial court, erudite and talented, stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a lifetime, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, the two Qian uncles left Beijing after adulthood, there are also old people in Beijing, back to the capital for more than half a year, relatives and friends will move around again, plus the relationship with the Chengguo Mansion has also eased, there is a nephew of the Hou Ye, there are more and more guests who come to the door, all kinds of things, wealthy businessmen, court officials, fortunately the Qian Mansion people are prosperous, there is no shortage of people to receive, and fortunately Luo Zhen is willing to spend silver, Although the Qian Mansion does not have much power and financial resources now, it is finally relying on the legacy of the ancestors to squeeze into the upper class of the capital, and then it depends on the efforts of the juniors of the Qian family, what kind of future do you want, and you can fight hard with your own ability.
Jinxiu sat down first and talked with Aunt Jia and her mother, and drank two cups of tea to quench her thirst.
Tian and Aunt Jia are not idlers, they came out to the banquet to leave the favor, Tian is worried about the family's little milk bag and two daughters, Aunt Jia is not worried about Jia Hui, although the Qian Mansion is also a close relative, but the daughter who is about to leave the pavilion, it is better not to bring it out, Jia Hui and Feng Jinyu will not go to other people's homes in the near future, Tian and Aunt Jia will also take advantage of this time to tell Jinxiu that they will not stay long, and they will go back by themselves after the banquet, so that she can only go to help, and there is no need to come to see the two of them.
After a while, I saw the fourth grandmother Qian hurriedly came to find Jinxiu, saying that there were a few female guests in front of her, and she and the concubines were not familiar with each other, so she had to ask her cousin and sister-in-law to go over to take a look, and Jinxiu retired to Aunt Jia and her mother, and followed the fourth grandmother out to receive entertainment.
I forgot the hour when I was busy, from the tea banquet to the banquet, and then to the tea party, until the next day, Jinxiu looked back again, and really disappeared Aunt Jia and Tian's family, presumably they said goodbye and went back first.
When Luo Zhen came to Qianfu, she was told that the husband and wife were in front of the first and the other in the inner courtyard, helping to greet the guests, until the banquet was dispersed, then they had to meet in time, and walked together to see and hugged today's protagonist, the little milk baby in the swaddling robe just slept comfortably, who of you wants to say that it is a hard day for him, he doesn't appreciate it!
The couple played with the sleeping baby, gave him back to the nurse, and sat down with the Qian family's uncle, aunt and cousins for a while, and when they said goodbye, it was already dark at night.
Luo Zhen didn't ride a horse, he wanted to accompany Jinxiu in the carriage, and Xiangzhi and Xiangtao had to go to the one where the servants and women were sitting in the back.
The couple hugged each other and leaned on the cushion, Luo Zhen stroked Jinxiu's arm and said with pity: "Tired, right?" There is still alcohol on the body, how much have you drunk? β
Jinxiu smiled: "It's just a few trips in circles, and I can't be tired." I drank a lot of wine, but I wasn't drunk! β
"Do you still want to get drunk? I've also hidden some apricot blossom wine, so we'll take it out and drink it later, so you can taste the drunkenness!" β
"You think I'm not drunk? The feeling of being drunk, well, is wonderful and fun! However, after all, when you are drunk, you show your true temperament, and what you say is all the truth, and it is not good to be under the public, and you can only get drunk together with three or two acquaintances, which is interesting! β
Luo Zhen wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at her: "It's fun to be drunk?" Don't you think I can drink? β
"It depends on who you're drinking with, didn't I say? It has to be a good friend, a good friend, and it's fun to be drunk! β
"When have you ever been drunk? How did I not know? β
"Well, in Chizhou's hometown, of course you don't know!"
"With whom?"
"People!"
"Speak well, tell me: with that who, drunk?"
Luo Zhen doesn't want to admit that anyone can be called a Jinxiu acquaintance, forget about a woman, if it is a man, he swears that he will never let Jinxiu see that person again in this life!
Jinxiu remembered her previous life, almost half of her classmates were drunk in the graduation season, she was only slightly drunk at the time, and she felt really fun.
At this time, I couldn't help but tease Luo Zhen, waving my hand and singing: "I remember when I was young, you love to talk and I love to laugh, I don't know when I was drunk, the wind was in the woods, and the birds were singing......"
Luo Zhen: "......"
The whole face was as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and Jinxiu laughed, but was wrapped in someone's arms, and her warm lips were gagged.
After a violent deep kiss, Jinxiu only gasped, Luo Zhen still didn't let her go, and continued to ask: "Who is it?" Have I seen it? β
"I've seen it." Jinxiu nodded honestly, jokes are jokes, it's not good if it really collapses: "Oh, it's my cousins, and my sister, and a few young masters and young ladies in Chizhou City brought by Xie San, I will marry you at that time!" You go to Dengzhou and you're not at home, Xie San brought some crabs, and I'll get everyone to eat and drink together...... Zhu Mi and Baoliang all know about this matter, don't believe you to ask! β
Luo Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a childhood sweetheart that suddenly popped up and he didn't know!
Childhood sweethearts, Luo Zhen doesn't have a good impression, one is that the childhood sweethearts he knows eventually become bad friends: his parents, Hong Caiyi and her senior brother, Luo Fang and Jiang...... The second is one thing he just knew: one of his old robes' wife, suddenly found that the bamboo horse who grew up with him was not dead, but despite the husband and wife for many years, he turned his face and was ruthless, and insisted on reconciling with her husband, but her parents-in-law loved their young daughter, and they had a little power, so they wanted to follow their daughter's wishes and suppress their son-in-law who had no background to draw and leave, so that the dignified seven-foot son-in-law who had made meritorious contributions and heroes on the battlefield was heartbroken and angry, and almost collapsed!
Luo Zhen also thought about what if he encountered such bad luck? This question only flashed in his mind, and he flew directly without a pause: his embroidery was born to be his, what a childhood sweetheart, absolutely not! Not allowed!
At this time, he completely forgot that Jinxiu once had a baby fiancΓ©, Zhang Xiucai from Fangshi Town, probably because he understood that Jinxiu didn't take Zhang Xiucai to heart at all, and even looked down on it, so Luo Zhen simply thought that this person didn't exist.
"It's just to get together for food and drink, which is also considered a friendship? Do you know what it means to be a friend? Like me, your husband is your confidant, understand? β
"I don't understand, I've never heard that my husband is a confidant, but I know the sentence 'A thousand cups of wine for a confidant', that is, drinking with a confidant, a thousand cups are not drunk!"
"Isn't that easy? Let's drink it when we go back, thousands of cups, and we won't get drunk if we drink them all! β
Go to the Dongtian Pharmacy and take a pill, let alone a thousand cups, if you can drink it, a thousand jars will not get drunk!
Jinxiu rolled her eyes, Luo Zhen laughed, wrapped her over again, lowered her head and put her forehead on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about something serious, about the house over there." β
Jinxiu pouted: "If you let me move to the Guogong Mansion again, there is no need to say it, I want to go to you, I won't go!" β
"What words? I'll be where you are! Don't worry, grandfather, I made it clear to me, we won't go back to the Gongfu this year. β
"Don't go for a few days during the Chinese New Year?" Jinxiu is happy, she is really tired of the women in the house over there, it can be said that they are all in conflict with themselves, and none of them can be safe, it is better to avoid each other, and it is clear that they are out of sight.
"Well, don't go! But you always have to go during the sacrifice, and it will be hard in those days, get up early and return late, go back and forth several times, and don't complain! β
"Don't worry, as long as you don't let me go to live in that mansion, I will never complain if I meet those people sooner or later!" (To be continued.) )
