Chapter 102: Full Moon Banquet
However, the Liu family is in the inner house, and I don't know if I can find out anything, besides, if the investigation is slow, the Chen family will be overpowered, wouldn't it be a busy job.
Qian Ning hurriedly turned around in her heart, and said: "I heard that the beautiful lady of Miaoyin Pavilion was invited to sing a tune that day, and I was really worried that the son of the world would lose his sense of proportion on that occasion." ”
"The sons and brothers in the capital, chanting poems and paintings, are indispensable to invite someone to help the fun, although Yan'er is a temperamental, but he is also a person who understands the rules and etiquette, you don't have to worry too much." Liu said lightly, although there was maintenance of Zhao Luoyan in his words, he didn't hear much maintenance.
"If they are all scholars who know books and understand etiquette, I don't worry," Qian Ning also smiled faintly, "It's just that I heard that there is also the prince of King Rong at the poetry meeting, and that prince is a man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, so I am worried that the prince will be damaged by him." The so-called red and black are the ones who are close to the Zhu, and they will inevitably not be affected after a long time. ”
Liu's heart moved, remembering what Mrs. Chen said that day, the son of the Chen family had a good relationship with the prince of Rongwang, and he was very proud. Things gather by like, people by groups, is it really a gold and jade outside?
Liu's eyes darkened, and he also had a plan in his heart.
Qian Ning knew that she had suspicions, but it was not enough, she had to push it before she could end the family affair.
Song Yi, it seems that he has to continue to owe favors to others.
The next day, Song Yi received a letter from Qianning, and read it in just a few lines and a few glances.
"Second Young Master, what's the urgency of Grandma Zhao?" Jiang Qiu stood aside and asked respectfully.
The maid who delivered the letter just now emphasized it again and again. It must be delivered to Song Yi immediately, and that anxious and solemn look is undoubtedly an important matter.
Song Yi pursed his lips: "This grandmother." But I climbed up the pole. Be polite to her, she's really not polite. This is about to call me. After speaking, the corners of his mouth curled.
Jiang Qiu was embarrassed, although his master's words were all complaining, but this tone, this demeanor, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a complaint. It's hard to say, and there is a sense of joy, it is difficult to make it difficult for the master to change his sex. Have you become a philanthropist?
Jiang Qiu was distracted, and was inadvertently knocked on the head by Song Yi: "Come back to your senses!" What do you think? so that you can't even hear it. ”
Jiang Qiu immediately gathered his thoughts, how could he still feel that the master had become kind-hearted, obviously he was still the one who loved to bully people. He rubbed his forehead. smiled and said, "Young Master." Isn't that the little one waiting for your commands? I don't know what happened to Grandma Zhao. ”
Song Yi jumped down from his seat, "This matter really can't be delayed, let's go, let's go out." With that, he walked briskly forward. Jiang Qiu, who was behind, didn't react for a while, and hurriedly followed.
Within two days, it was Brother Hong's full moon banquet. Qianning is going to go. also persuaded Liu to go together.
When the Lu family heard that the Liu family was also here, they naturally greeted each other with a full posture. Even Tian personally came out to greet him.
Liu took Tian's hand and said affectionately: "I'm really embarrassed to bother the old lady to come out, we are all a family, so we don't have to be so polite." ”
Where did the Tian family really dare to be polite to the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, seeing that the Liu family was so unshelfed, although he was a little relieved, he still replied very flatteringly: "Qianning is doing well in the Hou Mansion, we should have visited a long time ago, thank the in-laws for taking care of Qianning, but the Zhong family is pregnant, and I am not in good health, so I couldn't make the trip." ”
Tian was polite, and Liu was even more polite: "Qianning is my daughter-in-law and a sensible person, and I should love her." ”
The two said polite words and praised Qian Ning from time to time. I was embarrassed to say that Qian Ning, who was accompanying her.
This full moon banquet is not big or small. Let's say it's big, the people invited are ordinary people, and the Liu family is the highest status. Let's say it's small, but there are a lot of people who come, and at a glance, there are more than a dozen people in the female dependents alone.
Zhong's face was still not good, and he greeted the guests with a maid, which could be seen to be very difficult. Aunt Chu didn't see anyone, so it was estimated that the identity of the concubine was not suitable to attend.
The hostess was not strong enough, and so many guests couldn't be hung out, so she saw that Renning also helped greet the guests. But I didn't see Qiao Ning.
Isn't it still locked up and grounded? Qian Ning said secretly.
Tian pulled Liu to sit on the seat, talking enthusiastically. Qian Ning also sat down next to her.
Most of the guests who came didn't know each other, and there were also those who knew the identities of Qianning and Liu, and they came forward to flatter, and Qianning coped with the past lightly.
After a while, another lady came, but it was Zhong's maiden sister-in-law, Zhu, and a young son. When the son came over, he saluted the Tian family, called the "old lady", and called the Zhong family's "aunt", thinking that it was the Zhu family's son Zhu Yuan.
The Zhong family was born in a small family, but it is also a good family, and the family originally ran a small private school, which can barely be regarded as a scholarly family. It's a pity that Zhong's father was sick later, and the private school gradually declined, so that the family couldn't open the pot, so there was no way to send Zhong into the concubine's room.
didn't think about it, the Zhong family was angry, and it became the main room in the Lu family, and then pulled the brothers of the mother's family, and finally supported the private school again.
As the proprietress of the private school, the Zhu family looked very knowledgeable, and came over to greet Liu and Qianning, and she was also generous when she spoke.
There is also that Zhu Yuan, a gentle gentleman, polite, and a talent.
Zhong was very happy to see his nephew, and ordered the maid to call Qiao Ning out to meet with Zhu and Zhu Yuan.
It turns out that Qiao Ning is really locked up, it seems that this time the Zhong family is really ruthless, otherwise, according to the past pampering of Qiao Ning, where would he be willing to be locked up for so long.
After a while, Qiao Ning was brought over, looking a lot thinner than before, quite a little weak willow Fufeng, but it was a little more feminine than before.
Ying Ying saluted Zhu and Zhu Yuan, and Zhu said that she was a good child, so she helped Qiao Ning up and looked at it carefully, "I haven't seen her for a while, and the pretty girl is a lot more beautiful, but she is a big girl." ”
Qiao Ning lowered her head and said softly: "My aunt has won the prize." ”
Zhu thought she was embarrassed, and beckoned Zhu Yuan over again: "You haven't seen Brother Coin for a while, you had a good time when you were a child, and you should have more contact in the future." ”
Zhu Yuan came over to salute Qiao Ning as he said, and Qiao Ning returned the salute and stopped talking.
Zhong Shi said again: "Qiao'er, you accompany your cousin to walk around, there are all female dependents here, Brother Coin should be bored." ”
It turned out that I had this idea, and it seems that Qiao Ning's good things are also near. Qian Ning saw the clues, thought to herself, and glanced at the Zhu coin a few more times, the gesture was really good, and it was more than enough to match Qiao Ning. However, looking at Qiao Ning's expression, he didn't seem to be very happy, but I hope that the Zhong family can quickly cut through the mess and settle Qiao Ning's affairs, so as to avoid recurring twists and turns.
The guests soon arrived, Zhong entered the house, hugged Brother Hong out, wrapped in a carved silk brocade quilt, and the red quilt lined Brother Hong more white and cute.
Everyone praised one after another, Liu and Qianning also praised a few words, and gave a big gold collar as a full moon gift.
It was very cold, so the child just took it out and took it around, and then brought it back again.
Everyone went to the flower hall again and had lunch.
During lunch, Zhong was a little exhausted and went back to rest. Aunt Chu had no choice but to come out again.
Liu couldn't help frowning a little, and he still had a lot of complaints about his aunt coming out to greet the guests.
Aunt Chu already had the heart of letting Qianning carry Fang Ning, and seeing that the Liu family was also here, where could she let go of this good opportunity, pulled Fang Ning to sit next to Qian Ning, and took the initiative to get close to Liu's set.
Although Liu didn't like to deal with an aunt, out of politeness, he still said a few words.
Aunt Chu also noticed Liu's dislike, exchanged a few words, and went to greet the guests again.
Fang Ning plucked up the courage and said a lot of things to Qian Ning, although he was still timid, but he was polite to talk about.
Lunch was eaten quickly, and when it was over, it was gone.
Qian Ning and Liu were napping in the carriage, and the carriage drove smoothly towards the Hou Mansion, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
Qian Ning, who was squinting and resting, woke up immediately, lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did it stop? (To be continued.) )
