Everyone responded with a smile, and then hugged the eldest princess and Mrs. Ying to the flower hall.

Walking in the verandah, there is a sunset that has stopped on the mountainside in the sky, and looking through the warm red lanterns, the blood is still sun.

When I arrived at the flower hall, the fog lingered, the copper pot of mutton soup was hot on the table, the cold and hot dishes were all put together, the flowers were clustered, and it was very lively to look at.

Several ladies sat on the upper seats, the young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet sat at the bottom, and the men set the tables in the outer courtyard.

When the banquet was about to start, the third lady poured a full glass of wine, got up and saluted: "Thank you for your face today." Our family has just returned to Dingjing from Huguang, and all walks of life seem to be rusty, and I hope that all sisters and sisters will help each other. As soon as the words fell, he drank the full glass of wine very boldly and poured the glass.

The ladies got up and toasted each other, but the little ladies could only sip the sweet fruit wine in front of them.

Xingming tasted it, and then Chong Xingzhao squeezed his eyebrows, looking spicy.

Xingzhao covered his mouth and smiled, approached her and said, "Dignified and virtuous." Think about what the second aunt came out to tell you today-"

Xingming raised his eyebrows, saw that the second lady at the table was talking hotly with Mrs. Huang, and thought that Mrs. Huang's family still had a Lang Jun who was admitted to the Huang family, and she was even more afraid that her mother would tell her to the Huang family, although she didn't think so, she sat up straight, and whispered to Xingzhao: "Then Mrs. Huang can't flatter the above, so come and coax my mother." ”

Although it was a whisper, the side table could be heard faintly.

As soon as Xingzhao heard it, he knew that it was not good.

The Huang family was born in a poor family, and they have been rich and noble for two generations, and this generation has been admitted to the two lists of Jinshi, and when they get close to He Sanye, they want to climb up to the top with a crack. Scholars value reputation and build a family with reputation, Xingming is right.

Sure enough, Huang Sanniang, who was sitting at the side table, was eleven or twelve years old, and when she threw the silver chopsticks on the table, she turned her head over, her face flushed: "Miss He, what are you talking about!" ”

The more Xingming thought about it in his heart, the more tasteless he became, and just then the eldest princess of Ying Yi said that the daughter of Lin'an Hou had put the other girls of the He family, but she seemed to stand up by herself as if she was shamelessly leaning up, and she was angry, and she was about to go back when she put down her chopsticks.

Xingzhao hurriedly pressed Xingming with his hand, and said to Huang Sanniang in a gentle tone: "It's just that the yellow croaker of the third aunt's family is fresh, Sister Huang is not annoyed." ”

That Huang Sanniang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the corners of her mouth are raised, and she glances at Xingming: "As the saying goes, half a jar of water jingles, Li Kui is also surnamed Li, and Tang Taizu is also surnamed Li, but unfortunately, one can only be sent to death as a charge, but the other is a wise and decisive saint." ”

These words poked at the tip of Xingming's heart, his father is a concubine and is not angry, he lives by his brother-in-law, even when she is in contact with Xingzhao, her mother has to teach her, and she wants to hold Xingzhao and let Xingzhao.

The same surname He, others see it, but there is still a respectful and inferior order, three, six, nine, etc.

Xingming wiped his face and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, her father couldn't fight for it, she came to fight. was about to return the favor, but he listened to the slow and serious words.

"Sister Huang's surname is Huang, and the yellow croaker is also surnamed Huang, but unfortunately one is a little lady from a Qingliu family, and the other is a beast who is eaten by others, which is very different, Sister Huang wants to say such a truth?"

Xingzhao played with the cloisonné enamel pine, bamboo and plum wine cup with one hand, and looked at Huang Sanniang with a smile and said.

The words were about to fall, Qi Niang laughed, and it was rare to say a word: "One is a clear stream, the other is swimming in the water, and those who go with the flow are all goods in the water, and the difference is not too big." ”

Li Qiniang has never been a hit, and she is a blockbuster.

The faces of the little ladies at that table were instantly not good, and there was a Qin lady who was born as a seventh-grade official, and she shouted softly with her chopsticks: "What is it called to go with the flow, what is the color of goods in the water, you can make it clear." ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and the literati were full of sour and rotten spirit. The head cantilever cone thorn stabbed out, most of them probably looked down on the arrogant appearance of the noble family lying on the ancestral merit book. The noble family looked down on the scholar who looked very high in the court, especially those who were caught by the imperial history, for fear that they would not be able to die on the pillars of the Taiji Palace.

Xingzhao was born in a noble family, and he felt that Qingliu looked high, and when he saw that it was beneficial to him, he had a shy face, and at that time he forgot the spirit of the scholar, which was really annoying. Obviously, I can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and sometimes reincarnation is also luck, and I can't blame anyone.

Then he lowered his eyes, pulled Xingming and turned around to sit down, and gave Qi Niang a piece of yellow croaker, and smiled with her: "You taste it, the third sister is telling me that today's yellow croaker is fresh and tender." ”

Li Qiniang pursed her lips and smiled, still looking like she was cautious and cautious, chewing the yellow croaker in her mouth, and she was still reluctant to give up behind her, and said lightly: "If you don't know, go up and ask Mrs. He and your mother, the elders are well-informed, and they will be able to tell you one, two, three, four, five." ”

There was silence behind him for a while, Xingming took the silver chopsticks and poked the mutton on the plate, and his peers Zhao and Qi Niang whispered: "It's me who has no words, but the two of you come to help me clean up the scene." ”

Xingxiao stood up at this time and helped Xingming pour a cup of pear juice and syrup: "The third sister is not wrong." ”

Xingzhao chuckled lightly and pushed Ming. Xingming ignored He Xingxiao, bypassed the pear juice syrup, and picked up the sweet fruit wine again, this time in one sip, the little lady had never drunk wine, she couldn't bear the cough and choking, her face was red, but her eyes were as bright as stars.

Xingzhao habitually looked up at the top, there was movement below, and the choice of the top seat seemed to be unheard. As soon as he raised his head, he met the eyes of the eldest princess Yingyi, Yingyi bent his lips, tilted his head slightly, was naïve, and raised his glass to Xingzhao Yaoyao.

Xingzhao also picked up the wine cup, stretched out his wrist forward, revealing the red gold inlaid bluestone bracelet on his wrist, smiled sweetly at Ying Yi, and raised his head to drink the sweet apricot fruit wine in the wine cup.

The fruit wine is sour and thick, fragrant between the lips and teeth, and does not disperse for a long time.

The sky behind the screen was already dark, and the flower hall was full of wine, and the ladies and grandmothers got up and prepared to leave.

Xingzhao went to help Mrs. Tai, but Mrs. Tai said to the eldest lady: "Go and help your mother, she has been poured a few glasses of wine today, and she is uncomfortable at this time." ”

The eldest lady pinched the handkerchief in her hand, frowned and supported her forehead, leaning on Mrs. Li, on the left was the second lady holding it, the second lady smiled: "The younger brother and sister's newly brewed wine has enough stamina, and the sister-in-law usually drinks a lot of wine, and she was poured a few glasses by the eldest princess, so she can't support it." ”

Xingzhao's heart moved, he didn't answer, and helped the eldest lady, the eldest lady's face was red, and her body was full of clear wine, which was just a few glasses of wine. Ying Yi is an extremely naïve and moody person, and now he has all the means.

"Mrs. He will be a tiger girl, very bold, toast and drink, Ying Yi sighs to herself." Ying Yi held the stove in his back hand, and said with a smile, looking more and more delicate under the red lantern, like a peony flower.

As he spoke, he also blinked at Xingzhao and smiled toothlessly.

Xingzhao pursed his lips and smiled, blinked with him, approached the eldest lady again, and said softly: "Mother, mother, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The eldest lady frowned and shook her head, then nodded again, her eyes blurred as if she was looking for something.

Xingzhao smiled again, didn't speak, and the group went to the outer door, fortunately, the eldest lady was just uncomfortable, and her mind was still sober, Xingzhao couldn't help herself, and the eldest lady still leaned on the second lady.

Will step over the three-inch vermilion threshold, the carriage of the He family is waiting, He Yan and He Erye, riding a horse and waiting in front, seeing that the female dependents also came out, they got off the horse to help Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai looked at her children and grandchildren and asked happily, "Where is Brother Jing'er?" Brother Shi is small, and I don't ask him to ride back again in this ice and snow, but Brother Jing is practicing. ”

"Brother Jing is drunk, in the carriage, get in the carriage quickly." The second master bowed over and helped Mrs. Tai into the carriage.

When I heard this, I laughed all the time, and the second lady said quickly: "Mother Xiao, this sentence is really true!" No, the mother and son are drunk together as if they were discussing! ”

Xing Zhaoren was short and small, hiding behind the eldest lady, and when he saw He Yan's eyes, he quickly dimmed.

I don't know if it's disappointment or disgust.

Xingzhao took Xingming and got into the carriage, He Xingxiao also followed behind, Xingzhao opened the carriage curtain, revealing a crack.

The carriage shouted and ran forward, and she saw that Ying Yi was standing under the gray wall and green tiles, looking at the He family's carriage with burning eyes, and gradually moving away. Her eyes were like those of a wolf that had hunted a rabbit.
