158 Su Jin's Birthday (2)
Jiang Mei and Su Junyi immediately turned their heads to look at the source of the voice, it turned out to be Xiao Moheng, the seventh prince, Jiang Mei Zhaoran found that when Su Junyi saw Xiao Moheng, there was a slight pain in his eyes, and then he returned to his naturalness, Jiang Mei felt a little strange in her heart.
Xiao Moheng looked at the two of them with a suspicious expression, as far as he knew, Jiang Mei and Su Junyi should have no dealings, at this moment, the two avoided everyone to chat here, which really surprised him, but he looked at Jiang Mei more strangely, in his opinion, it must be Jiang Mei who was playing something.
"Why is Junyi angry? Since I met Jun Yi, I have hardly seen him angry, Mo Heng doesn't know what skills Miss Jiang has used to make him forget his image of a humble gentleman? Xiao Moheng looked at the two and quipped, he and Su Junyi have been friends for many years, and it is not a problem to make a joke.
Jiang Mei decided to confess and be lenient, and the smart Jiang Da Divine Doctor thought that Xiao Moheng should be able to help her, so Jiang Mei pretended to be weak and said: "Your Highness, here's the thing, I once fought with a girl, if Du lost, I promised to let Su Gongzi dance a dance, tonight happens to be the 70th birthday of Taibao, I think it's a good time, so I made this request to Su Gongzi!" After Jiang Mei finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Moheng and bowed her mouth to Su Junyi, signaling Xiao Moheng to help her.
Xiao Moheng kept pursing his lips to listen to her, but the next moment he couldn't help laughing, "Haha... Miss Jiang is really childlike...."
Su Junyi thought that his friends for many years would also make fun of him, and immediately said angrily to the two: "Why didn't I know that the two of you were still working together to make fun of me." ”
Jiang Mei and Xiao Moheng immediately stopped laughing when they heard this, and their faces were a little embarrassed. Because the two of them are indeed already in partnership.
However, Xiao Moheng is Xiao Moheng, and then smiled again: "Junyi, you can't blame Miss Jiang, it must be you who hurt the heart of the girl outside, and they thought of this way to punish you." ”
When Xiao Moheng mentioned this, Su Junyi's face sank again, and pain hit him in his eyes, while Jiang Mei on the side pretended to observe him casually, quite puzzled by his actions.
Because Xiao Moheng stood a little open, he didn't notice Su Junyi's strange appearance at all. Just continued: "Junyi." I remember that you once learned "The Dance", and today you can just congratulate your grandfather on his birthday, and you can also relieve Miss Jiang! "Of course, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who is handsome and elegant, will not say that he wants to see it himself.
Su Junyi looked at Xiao Moheng's face with a faint smile, and lost his mind for a moment. There is a trace of complex and indescribable emotions in his eyes. "Okay!" After Su Junyi dropped two words. He walked to the backyard.
Jiang Mei noticed the change in Su Junyi's face all the way, and at this moment, her heart had turned from suspicion to horror, and she finally understood the meaning of Su Junyi's words in the pavilion just now. It's just that the horror in her heart is already higher than Su Junyi's joy in agreeing to her,
Xiao Moheng looked at his distant back and raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Jiang Mei, that playful smile seemed to be asking Jiang Mei for credit, Jiang Mei was a little crying and laughing by him, but it was rare to see such a playful side of the Seventh Prince.
In the next moment, Xiao Moheng's eyes looked at her a little warmly, since he came back from Wuxing, the two had never met, and since he entered the Su Mansion, he had been looking for her shadow, but now the Su Mansion is full of people, and no matter how he can not show his thoughts in public.
So he had to restrain his expression and smiled faintly at her: "Miss Jiang, the birthday banquet is about to start, and this king will take the first step." ”
Jiang Mei was still thinking about Su Junyi in her mind, and she didn't pay much attention to Xiao Moheng's expression, and when she saw that he was leaving, she bowed to him. It's just that when he watched him go away, he couldn't stop lamenting in his heart, it seems that Su Junyi is very affectionate, but I don't know if Xiao Moheng knows his intentions, but with Jiang Mei's intuition, I'm afraid Su Junyi is just thinking about it in vain.
When Jiang Mei returned to the front hall, it was almost full, she quietly walked to Ruoyun and sat down, even if her relationship with Xiao Mocheng was good, but on such an occasion, Xiao Mocheng had to arrange for her to sit in the back row by the corner, in fact, as far as Jiang Mei's identity is concerned, it is already very good for her to have a place here.
Jiang Mei glanced at the hall lightly, there were two rows of seats on both sides of the hall, the front row were all important ministers of the court, and the back row was mostly the sons of the family, only the concubine Pei Zhan sat in the front row because of his identity, Jiang Mei saw that he was chatting with the son of the same age on the other side of the side at the moment, Jiang Mei saw that his face was delicate and seemed to be somewhat similar to Su Tan, so he immediately knew his identity, and the only person who could be listed in the front seat with Pei Zhan was Su Baiqiu, the concubine of the seventh princess.
It's just that this horse master has a quiet temperament, except for occasionally participating in some court affairs, he almost stays in Su Mansion and rarely goes out.
Jiang Mei glanced at it lightly, and found that only Xie Hui had not arrived at the ministers of the DPRK and China, Xie Hui was not a rude person, presumably either something was delayed or his physical condition was not good.
Jiang Mei glanced at the seats in the hall slightly, and saw that Xiao Moheng, Xiao Mocheng, Mu Xiaohe and Pei Yun were already sitting in the hall, Xiao Moheng and Xiao Mocheng were sitting in the middle because they were the princes, Xiao Mocheng was sitting next to Pei Yun, and next to Pei Yun was Mu Xiaohe.
On the far right sat a middle-aged man with outstanding demeanor, and Jiang Mei thought that person must be Su Weixin. Although Jiang Mei paid a lot of attention to this Confucian Prime Minister Su Cheng, it was the first time she had seen him today. Su Weixin is wearing a moon-white brocade robe with gold trim today, with a green jade crown on his head, his face is full, his contours are clear, and his eyes are warm and bright.
There was an old man sitting between Su Weixin and Xiao Moheng, Jiang Mei looked at him and squeezed out a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she didn't even think about it to know that person was the protagonist of tonight, Old Lady Su Jin.
Jiang Mei sat in the corner and looked at him fixedly, only to see Su Jin wearing a dark gold brocade robe, with gray hair and a thin face.
Just as Jiang Mei was in a reverie, Su Weixin saw that everything that should have come had already come, so he stood up. He smiled loudly at everyone: "Today is my father's seventieth birthday, such a midwinter wax moon, everyone can come here, Su is grateful, Su will give you a cup first!" With that, he picked up a glass of wine, covered it with his sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Moheng smiled and said: "Su Xiang is polite, my father often talks about the merits of the Taibao, and specially instructs the ancestral hall to prepare a birthday gift for the Taibao, and I will take advantage of such a good day today." Come to Sioux for a cheerful and lively look! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Moheng raised his wine glass. Said to Su Jin: "Mo Heng first salutes the Taibao with a cup, and wishes the Taibao a long time and a long time!" He drank a glass of wine.
The moment Xiao Moheng got up, everyone in the hall hurriedly got up. Su Jin also immediately replied: "Old man, thank you for your kind words!" He also accompanied a drink.
At this time, everyone threw up their hands and congratulated: "I wish Taibao blessings like the East China Sea." Longevity! Seeing this, Ruoyun hurriedly picked up Jiang Mei, who was a little lagging in her reaction, and saluted.
After drinking. The seventy-year-old Su Jin stood still, looked at the people in the hall, and said with a gentle smile: "It's an old bone." I am really ashamed to work everyone to bend down to celebrate my birthday, since everyone is here today, don't be polite, drink a good drink, and return with all your heart, so as not to vain the old man's heart! ”
"Thank you Taipo!" The crowd replied in unison again.
As soon as everyone's words fell, they saw a rhythmic footsteps outside the hall, and after a while, they saw Xu Huaiyuan with a group of attendants coming to announce the decree.
"The Divine Decree to... Su Jin took the order...."Xu Huaiyuan's slender voice said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone immediately stood on both sides with bated breath, while Su Weixin and Su Weizhen helped Su Jin to the hall and knelt down.
"Your Majesty has a decree, the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Su Taibao, the pillar of the country, the 70th birthday of the Taibao today, is a day of celebration and rejoicing, and a special birthday gift of ten boxes, Qin this."
Su Jin immediately bowed down: "The old minister is grateful!" ”
After that, Su Weizhen helped him up, and Su Weixin helped him take over the holy decree and thanked Xu Huaiyuan.
Xu Huaiyuan looked at Su Jin and said with a smile: "Taibao, Concubine Su is a little unwell tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to congratulate Taibao on her birthday, Niangniang asked me to bring a few congratulatory gifts." Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that Concubine Su was unwell, and even Xiao Mocheng looked surprised and worried, but when he saw Xu Huaiyuan's carefree face, presumably Concubine Su should be fine, so he thought in his heart that he would have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to take a look.
Su Jin heard that Concubine Su was in poor health, and his heart tightened, but he still had to thank him: "Thank you Concubine Su!" I hope Niangniang recovers soon! Su Jin was quite worried.
Xu Huaiyuan knew that he was worried about Concubine Su, so he persuaded: "Niangniang is fine, and the saint is also accompanying Niangniang, Taibao can rest assured!" As Xu Huaiyuan spoke, his eyes glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes, signaling him to rest assured. Xiao Mocheng responded with a slight bow.
When Su Jin saw him say this, he had to put his mind at ease, "Then there is Father-in-law Lao!" ”
Xu Huaiyuan nodded, saluted again and left the house.
Now that the will of the Holy Gods has come down, the birthday feast begins immediately. For a while, the servants of the Su Mansion rushed in, and the seats were all covered with dishes and wine plates.
After Su Weixin saw that they had all settled, he raised his wine glass and said loudly to everyone: "Thank you for enjoying the light today, Su Mou will give you a glass first!" After that, he flicked his wide sleeves and drank them all, "Adults and sons will drink as much as they want!" ”
Everyone toasted to each other. Just as the atmosphere in the hall became lively, a group of red-shirted women walked to the hall, and for a while, Yale sounded, and the women moved lightly, dancing slightly, and a touch of slender shadow lingered around their eyes.
In order not to let everyone notice her, Jiang Mei kept her head down, lowered her eyes, and sipped hot wine in her mouth, warming the slight hatred and coolness in her heart.
After a tour of wine, the dance ended, and the women retreated to the door, and then marched into the hall around a man in white with a mask, and then another round of light dance music sounded, and the man moved to the music.
As soon as Jiang Mei looked up, she saw the man in the hall dancing in clothes, pitching and stretching, as if there was no one around, everyone knew that this was "The Bird Dance" at first sight, and then stroked the palm for it, and saw that he was quite bird-like, and his demeanor was brisk and in place, so he clapped his hands and applauded.
Jiang Mei couldn't hold back a smile, then pulled Ruoyun and said a few words in her ear, Ruoyun immediately looked at Jiang Mei with round eyes, and saw Jiang Mei's face lightly, so she knew that it was true, so she looked at Su Junyi, who was dancing intoxicated in the hall, with some obsession and disbelief.
Jiang Mei looked at the field from time to time, hiding her face and drinking from time to time, at this time, she suddenly found that Xiao Moheng above raised her wine glass with a smile on her face and looked at her, Jiang Mei knew that he was because of Su Junyi, so she raised her glass to thank her.
"Like a repaired shirt and suspicious at first glance, go to the festival and suddenly like an eagle!" Dongfang Zhan, who came to congratulate Xiao Moheng on his birthday, couldn't help but praise. Everyone was amazed by Su Junyi's vigorous dancing, and the hall was full of joy for a while.
Half an hour later, the dance ended, Su Junyi stood in the middle, took off his mask and smiled lightly at everyone, he just danced, the color of his face had not faded, this smile actually made everyone slightly stunned, like a very beautiful woman smiled indifferently.
But in an instant, everyone also came back to their senses, and Pei Yun first praised: "Su Gongzi's dance posture is vigorous, unrestrained, and high-spirited like the ambition of a bird!" As soon as his voice fell, many ministers in the hall praised him again and again.
Su Junyi still had a faint smile on his face and bowed. It's just that when he finally stepped back, he glanced at Xiao Moheng without a trace, and then glanced at Jiang Mei as well, with a slight anger in that look, as if to tell her that he still did what he promised, and hoped that Jiang Mei would also keep his promise. Jiang Mei raised her glass to him and bowed slightly.
Xiao Mocheng waited until Su Junyi sat on the seat, then got up and said to everyone: "Today is the 70th birthday of Taibao, Su Taibao is also the grandfather of this king, and this king has a special gift to congratulate his grandfather on his birthday today!" ”
When everyone saw the Nine Emperors giving him a courtesy gift, they were all looking forward to it, and they all looked at him expectantly.
Xiao Mocheng continued: "Dahuan piano art has a pair of sisters, one is the Huaying girl of the Beijing Zhengle Stage, and the other is the young girl of the Xiakou Wanqing Building, but it is a pity that this double sister has never competed on the same stage, today is to congratulate my grandfather's birthday, this king specially went to Xiakou to invite the young girl to the capital, you adults can feast your ears tonight, and enjoy the joy of the double Shu piano fight!" ”
Before he finished speaking, everyone below was already surprised, "Dahuan Shuangshu fighting the piano on the same stage" was unheard of, and the atmosphere on the field was high for a while.
Pei Yun raised the wine glass in his hand with one hand and smiled at Xiao Mocheng: "No wonder His Royal Highness can treat this rouge * fat drunk to the true appearance, it turns out that the Wanqing Building has been moved!" ”
As soon as Pei Yun finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Su Jin was really relieved to see that he was so heartfelt: This kid is not in vain for me to love him so much.
Xiao Mocheng couldn't stop smiling, the reason why he was able to invite Wanqing was because of a jar of "Wanqing" wine she had given when she went to Xiakou to pay homage to her birthday last year. (To be continued......)
