Chapter 111: Celebration
After the coming-of-age ceremony, Zhao Xianglin returned to the palace and instructed Wang Jiezhong: "Jiezhong, you will go to Nangong Mansion to summon Nangong Xue to the palace in a while, I have something to say to Nangong Xue." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Jiezhong replied respectfully: "Yes, I will summon Nangong Xue into the palace." After speaking, Wang Jiezhong withdrew from the south study and went towards the palace gate.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, as soon as Nangong Xue returned home, she saw Kong Haoyu and Hua Hua, as well as Zhao Linxue, Zhao Chen, Zhao Jie, Zhao Hong, Huang Ying, Guangxiong, Xu Zhong, Guan Xingtian and others waiting in front of Nangong Mansion. Nangong Xue hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked forward with a smile: "It's really neat, why are you all here?" What's the matter? ”
"Not really. Besides, even if it's okay, I can't come to you? As soon as Zhao Linxue came up, she kept saying like a machine gun, "Didn't you just attend the coming-of-age ceremony today?" We're here to celebrate, why don't you go out for a meal? ”
"Okay. Then today I am the east, so you will be polite to me. Nangong Xue said very happily when she heard this, "But before eating, you come in first and wait for me for a while, and we will set off after I change my clothes." After saying that, he invited a few people into the mansion, and then he walked back to his house to change his clothes. It didn't take long for Nangong Xue to change her clothes and happily follow Zhao Linxue and their group out.
This group of people came to Jinfuxuan with a smile, because it was to celebrate Nangong Xue, so Jinfuxuan did not open to the public on this day and closed the store for a day, Kong Haoyu was also prepared, he prepared the meal before this in order not to delay the time, and at this time, as long as the pot was slightly hotter. As soon as the meal was served, Kong Haoyu put the prepared wine glass on the table and poured it full of wine, Kong Haoyu said: "A few people come to raise the wine glass, let's toast Nangong Xue a glass to celebrate her adult success, and this glass of wine is also a tribute to the bear blind, I hope he will go out with his father this time all the way safe." As they spoke, everyone picked up their wine glasses and touched them. Immediately drank it all.
After drinking this glass of wine, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change from joy to reluctance. One by one, they took chopsticks and ate the dishes silently. Nangong Xue couldn't help but ask curiously while looking at the atmosphere: "Where is the blind bear going to go with his father to the army?" When did it happen? ”
Zhao Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand and explained lightly: "Actually, we only knew, this product is now more and more able to conceal it, if it weren't for your coming-of-age ceremony today, and then we all want to call you to have a meal together, he probably won't see this opportunity to tell us." I heard that I was going to the western border to guard there. Let's prevent any wars in the future. ”
"You mean there might be a war in the future?" Nangong Xue was surprised, "How can this be?" Isn't that nice now? ”
"Now so?" The vast number of Xiong said, "There are some things that Xiaoxue can't say clearly, and all I can say is that what is good in front of you is not necessarily really good." After saying this, the vast number of bears filled the wine glass in his hand with wine, and then drank it violently.
“……。” Nangong Xue was speechless for a while when she saw the vast number of bears like this, so she had to look at him silently. Kong Haoyu, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly got up and changed the topic, and said: "Alas, I said that it is rare for me to be so free today, you will sell me Chef Kong a face, can we still eat well." Don't talk about that. Today, I've taken out all my housekeeping skills, and I'll have a few delicious foods, but I'll go to the back kitchen to cook them for you. Today we have to eat and drink well. Since graduating from the academy, it has been rare for us to get together so neatly. Today is fortunate to be the coming-of-age ceremony of Nangong Xue. Otherwise, I'm afraid there is no such excuse, right? ”
"Fat Kong is telling the truth." Hua Hua took over the conversation and said, "Since the graduation of our group of people, they have basically done their own things, and it is difficult to get together like now. Basically, I don't have that time. I don't know how you feel, but I have been in the Ministry of Engineering since I took the temple test, and I have something to do every day, and I am no different from a miscellaneous person all day long. Tired just want to go home and rest. But then again, in the past few years, I have been really fortunate to have Nangong Xue to help me, and I can finally do something that I am good at, and I really want to thank Nangong Xue for this. ”
"Speaking of which." Zhao Linxue hurriedly took over the words and said, "Huahua, you and Xiaoxue are really people we envy." Ten thousand umbrellas, what a great honor, speaking of which, should you treat us to a meal? ”
"10,000 umbrellas?" Kong Haoyu said curiously, "What do you mean?" ”
"Don't you know?" Huang Ying asked rhetorically, Kong Haoyu shook his head in a daze and said that he didn't know, "I also listened to my father about this." said that Huada people are really good at teaching their children, and teaching such a promising child has added glory to their ancestors. It's a pity that our family is all engaged in force. If you really want to add glory to your ancestors, you have to win the battle. Oh, it's a pity ....... Hey, I don't want to say it, but I still envy Hua Hua and Xiaoxue. ”
"In that case, what are we going to say?" Xu Zhong stood up with a glass full of liquor and said, "In order to celebrate this glass, let's just take a sip." Then I'll do it first as a respect, you are free. With that, he poured a glass of wine into his stomach.
Nangong Xue looked at Xu Zhong so refreshingly, and also said: "Come on, let's all come together, this is so bad for Xu Zhong to drink like this, we don't look good." After speaking, he beckoned the others to pick up their wine glasses and clean them up, and then continued, "Actually, I was also very surprised about the ten thousand umbrellas. I am just an executor, this glory really belongs to those construction workers and Hua Hua, if it were not for him and those engineering teams under his rule, my reconstruction ideas can only be on paper, and I will not get this honor at all. Of course, I'm quite touched today. I really thank you for being able to come and celebrate with me on this day of my coming-of-age ceremony. ”
"Xiaoxue, look at what you said, as we who have been friends for many years, can we still come to congratulate you on such an important day as you, then we are still your good friends?" Guan Xingtian said, "Don't say thank you to us, to be honest, if it weren't for you back then, we wouldn't be so good now." You see, Xiao Qi and the thirteen families practiced medicine because of your wishes, and because of your respect back then, I will not rely on the results of the competition that year as a basis, and won the first place in the palace examination to be a legal judge in the criminal department. Do you know that this judge is very sacred, and my words can determine the final approval of the case when deciding the case? You don't know how happy my father was after I was admitted to this official at that time. Let's talk about Xu Zhong, who also uses the good results of the competition as a reference for scoring, plus his palace test results are now in the Ministry of Rites as the imperial historian responsible for receiving envoys, of course Hua Hua doesn't need to say it, you also know very well what official position people are now, and then look at Chef Kong, who is now about to become the most sought-after chef in the capital, of course, except for his father. So if it's really to say thank you, it should be us. So let's not be so polite today. With such a good day, let's chat, drink, eat, and have a good time. ”
"Well...... I have to tell you." Zhao Jie reminded, "If you don't eat again, I will eat all the good food and dishes on this table." As soon as he heard this, Zhao Linxue suddenly hit Zhao Jie's chopsticks with a "snap" and said, "Seventh brother, if you want to eat like this, be careful of getting fat, no one wants you when you turn around." Zhao Jie looked straight at the fragrant food on this table, and he was about to flow down, and replied: "Then I don't care, I'll eat this meal first." Who told you to skip your meals here? ”
"Who says we won't eat?" Huang Ying retorted, "Why don't you eat it?" It's not okay to let you take it all. At least you'll have to ask a few of our grandfathers if they're happy. As he spoke, he looked at him angrily, and then picked up his chopsticks and began to put the vegetables in his bowl.
"Don't say it, don't say it. Let's eat and drink to our heart's content. Nangong Xue hurriedly greeted, "If it's not enough, I'll do it again." Everyone must eat well. Don't ....... Before Nangong Xue finished speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to enjoy them.
Just when they were eating, Wang Jiezhong came to the Nangong Mansion, as soon as he entered the mansion, Wei Yongnian was respectfully waiting on the side, Wang Jiezhong looked around and found that he didn't see Nangong Xue's figure and asked: "Steward Wei, where is your daughter?" ”
"Lord Hui, Lord Wang, our young lady went out with the Seventh Princess and a few princes not long after she came back." Wei Yongnian replied respectfully, "Dare to ask Mr. Wang, what is the matter with you?" ”
“…… Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Wang Jiezhong replied lightly, "I was ordered by the emperor to summon her to enter the palace with me." ”
"Into the palace?" Wei Yongnian asked puzzled, "Are you in a hurry?" ”
"I can't see if I'm in a hurry." Wang Jiezhong said, "But there is always something to summon her into the palace." How long have they been gone? Where did you go? ”
"That's a coincidence." Wei Yongnian replied, "If you had come half an hour earlier, you would still have met them, but now they have been gone for more than an hour, and I don't know where to go." But according to my guess, they probably went to Nancheng, right? ”
"Went to Southtown?" Wang Jiezhong asked, "Where is Nancheng?" ”
"It should be Jinfuxuan." Wei Yongnian replied, "I guessed." I'm not sure, but you can check it out there. If not, you can come back and wait, and I guess she will be back in about half an hour. ”
“……。” Wang Jiezhong thought about it for a while and said, "Don't wait, I'll go and see it first, if it's really in the place you said, I'll pass her directly into the palace, if not, I'll come back as you say." After saying that, he put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up, and walked out the door. Wei Yongnian followed behind him, escorting him.
