Chapter 229: Queqiao (I)
Of course, the banquet is for the men to get together, the women to have fun together, the men to flow the water, compose poems and paintings, what can the women do? Playing leaf cards, watching plays, the most important thing is naturally to speak.
This is the first time Xingzhao attended the guest after his marriage, his hair was pulled high, the red coral beads were strung into a hand, and then two small pearls fell at the tail end, which happened to match the head of the southern pearl, and the six princes went to the front yard, and when they left, they only explained that Xingzhao had a sentence, "Everything is not strong, if one move doesn't work, we still have a back move", and then gently scratched the palm of Xingzhao's hand, and greeted the second prince who had just gotten off the carriage to the front yard.
The second prince squeezed his eyebrows and turned his head to look back at Xingzhao, and before he could speak, he was dragged forward by his sixth brother.
Xingzhao was sweating all over his head, stiffened his neck and twisted his head, just in time to see Min Jirou who was following behind the second prince, and beckoned with a smile: "Sister Min!" ”。
Min Jirou tilted her head and waved her handkerchief at her with a smile, then walked over here, and responded with a smile: "I have to call my sister-in-law!" He looked around again and asked, "Has Princess Sui arrived?" I heard from the porter that the Chen family had arrived. ”
Xingzhao smiled and shook his head: "Ah Yu didn't see Princess Sui, the fourth brother has never liked these banquets, and whether he comes or not this time is another matter." Sister and sister-in-law have something to do with Princess Sui? ”
On that day, the camellia banquet tenderness offensive called the fourth brother in order to drag down the four princes, who would have thought that now he would be called the fourth brother seriously.
After getting married, everything is changing, mentality, emotions, life and rest, and even the most basic titles between people have changed beyond recognition.
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Min Jirou looked relieved, and walked to the inner corridor with Xingzhao in her arms like in the old days. The maids waiting to lead the way are far away. She still habitually kept her voice low. "The fourth and Princess Sui have been married for so long, and they have not been too harmonious, in the past, when they looked at Chen's appearance, they always felt that they were a well-behaved boudoir Yuxiu, who knew that since marrying into the Suiwang Mansion, they did not deal with the fourth, the fourth was not in good health, and the personality was a little strange if the body was not good. Chen secretly asked people to burn all the gunpowder they had hoarded and sold. The bystanders are pro, the authorities are fascinated, and Concubine De asked me to persuade them. ”
Xingzhao knew that the fourth prince had always had indescribable feelings for the second prince.
After the incident with Duan Xiaoyi, the fourth prince was even more taciturn, but he could still listen to all the words of the second prince.
The children are not harmonious, and Concubine De is also anxious.
Chen Yuan has not been too strong under the suppression of her sister Chen Wan, and she has been suppressed for a long time, and once it breaks out, it is more ruthless than a torrent - it is not happy to find her own prince, how does Xingzhao think that Chen Yuan is a little bit of turning over to be the master, unrestrained and self-abandoning.
If you know that Chen Wan's life in the future is not as good as herself. Chen Yuan probably had a bitter face, and she was very relieved and happy in her heart, right?
Man. It's that weird.
Xing Zhao narrowed his eyes and didn't follow the conversation, Min Jirou said softly and tactfully for a long time, and her words became more solemn: "You and the sixth child went to thank you, all listened to Concubine Mao." Your greetings, I can't stand it, and King Yu can't stand it. Don't have a dislike with Yuwangfu because of this. ”
Xingzhao laughed, nodded solemnly, and said softly: "Naturally, no, the second brother has always been aspiring to be here, but he also grew up together, others don't know if Ah Yu can still know?" ”
The Min family didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, and when the letter was in the northwest to supervise the army, Fang Qi had saved his life twice, and the grace of dripping water should be repaid by springs, and the grace of saving lives could not be repaid with resentment. But in terms of clan reasoning, the Hou Min family in Dingjing Xin is clearly a Lin'an Hou He family is a good family, not to mention that there is a daughter who is Princess Yu.
It is difficult to deal with both sides, the situation is complete, and the theory and law are not comprehensible, so they are in a dilemma, so they simply leave it alone.
Anyway, they don't fight, at least they don't fight on the surface, there is no need to make a fuss, everyone knows that the Min family has not produced any peerless heroes for hundreds of years, but it has not fallen into the same bleak situation as the He family today.
Min Jirou gently patted Xingzhao's hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
If the emperor knew that he was the successor he was supporting, and the opponent he was holding up with his own hands, hooking up and drinking and punching, would the old emperor be so angry that he vomited blood and died on the spot?
The two concubines talked all the way, and when they arrived at the main hall, they happened to hear Xinrong avoiding the corner mouth to train people, and vaguely heard a few words, "There are many and miscellaneous people today, how old is the little lady?" Why can't you watch it! But if something happens to the little lady, you two nostrils don't have to breathe! ”
The only ones who didn't breathe from their nostrils were the dead.
It's Xinrong's only daughter, right?
Xinrong Yuguang caught a glimpse of two nephews and daughters-in-law coming from the corridor, and hurriedly explained to the servant, "Hurry up and find it!" Can the girl still go out to the outer courtyard? In the bushes, in the studio, in the boat, you have to find it anywhere! As soon as the words fell, he greeted him, and complained to Xingzhao with anxious eyebrows, "I don't know who I look like!" Her father is a calm and stable person, and I haven't been running all around since I was a child! The bigger you are, the more ignorant you are, and your head is about to go to the sky! The little girl of four or five years old didn't know where she came from with such a full spirit, and in the blink of an eye, the figure was gone! The maid can't keep up, and the mother-in-law can't keep up, I want to find the queen mother to ask a few capable chamberlains to follow her! ”
The troubles of being a mother are really thousands.
Xingzhao opened his mouth, and before the words came out, he heard Xinrong finish speaking, as if he remembered something, he quickly turned around and greeted the servant who had promised to live with his head, "Sensei!" Look for it quietly! If the backyard is too deep, she can't go there, so you don't have to go deep inside, and if you disturb the guests, no one will want to live a good life! ”
Xingzhao understood.
Min Jirou saw Mrs. Min in the letter in the inner room at a glance, and smiled and comforted Xinrong, "It's all in the mansion, there are servants guarding everywhere, who can not know Aunt Jiu's heart?" The attendants are incompetent, so if you change it, Aunt Nine should not be angry. Then he said goodbye and went inside.
Xingzhao took Xinrong's arm and followed behind, and said as he walked: "Don't delay the effort to find the little lady for such a thing, just leave a vacant space, what if the little lady is in the backyard, but you don't go to find it?" ”
Xinrong nodded straight, and sent the two people around him to follow, raised his eyes and looked at Xingzhao and smiled: "I'm annoyed that the servant woman is not strong, the little girl is really smart, although Tao Ke also knows that there is a degree, don't worry too much." After a pause, "The mother-in-law of the second gate is good at eating and drinking, and now I am afraid that she is already drunk, and the people in the outer courtyard must have the heart to be able to touch it." From the second gate to the main hall, there is a small road, which is almost unattended and very quiet. The maids brought by the guest's family are resting on that path, and it is very easy to meet people and deliver words, and I am even vacant in the backyard, for fear that someone will not disturb the pair of mandarin ducks for a long time. ”
Where is the mandarin duck, it's obviously the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Xingzhao is willing to do that magpie bridge.
The two walked into the main hall together, Xingzhao saw Mrs. Chen at a glance, she was talking to other ladies, but there was no Chen Wan beside her, Xingzhao and Xinrong glanced at each other, Xinrong raised her chin, and a little girl ran behind her and whispered, "The second girl Chen just went out, the tea was knocked over on the skirt, and she had to go to Changtingju to change her clothes and skirts again." ”
"How long have you been gone?"
"You walked out of the main hall with your front feet, and when the maid next to her came, she followed her out with her back feet."
"It's not been half an hour."
Xinrong asked while looking at Xingzhao, Xingzhao shook his head slightly, what can you do in half an hour? It's not enough to walk to the backyard.
In the letter, Mrs. Hou Min saw Xingzhao enter the main hall, holding her hand and asking the east and the west family briefly, Xingzhao replied in his mouth, but his eyes glanced at the more leaky places one by one, and after about a quarter of an hour, he nodded invisibly towards Xinrong.
Xinrong immediately laughed loudly, and greeted more than a dozen ladies and grandmothers in the main hall, "It's not that my princess sells melons and boasts, although the spring scenery of the eldest princess's mansion is not ranked in Dingjing City, but the weeping willows and flowers are also beautiful when I look at them." The host always has to take the guests around to take a look, right? If you want to hide the scenery of your own home, you can't laugh at me Xinrong for being stingy? ”
A lady laughed below, and Xinrong snorted: "Come on, Mrs. Li is laughing at me, and I just happened to catch her!" ”
Xinrong can talk and have hot scenes, and the ladies can also be happy to go shopping - where can the deep boudoir lady have so much time to go out for a walk.
The inner hall was filled with the sound of clothes rustling for a while.
After visiting the painting boat, visiting the Qingshui dock, and walking around the waterside, Xinrong walked in front and beckoned to the backyard, "The peach blossoms elsewhere are gone, and the peach blossoms in our backyard are still blooming."
The person invited by Xinrong's post is naturally the number one person in Dingjing City, and he has his own manners when he walks and talks, and there is no sound at all when the clogs step on the layers of green bricks, not to mention the jasper with a pressed skirt tied to the skirt.
The people outside were approaching step by step, and to the people inside, it was like thunder and black fog above the distant mountains and sky.
"After all, the princess is going to show me the family, if I marry, what are you and me? You have to do everything properly, and it is not appropriate for me to let the little finch come in and call you today. But the matter has come to this point, if we still have no countermeasures to discuss, you and I will miss it, I am unwilling, I don't believe that you are willing to give up the bond between us! ”
Between the fences of flowers and vines, two people stood facing each other.
The man in a green shirt and robe, leaning forward, bit word by word, looked very eager and depressed. (To be continued......)
