Chapter 18: The Expatriate Dinner (The First Beautiful Man Appears)
In the next few days, Jiang Mei took care of the mansion seriously, and after it was renewed, Jiang Da Divine Doctor made a post to invite some nobles and friends in Beijing to come to the mansion as guests, she became famous in the capital because she had solved the slightest poison for the Nine Emperor Princes, and there were many children of the family and dignitaries who came to the door to say goodbye.
In the evening of the same day, the guests gathered in the house, and the lively Cheng was far away from Jiang Mei's expectations, Jiang Mei looked at the visitors, laughed a little embarrassed, and a little helpless, the guests in the court, up to the first-class scholars, down to the ordinary people, plus the neighbors invited by her, it can really be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, good and bad.
It's time for some noble guests to arrive, just as Jiang Mei was pondering, Jiuzhu handed her a few greetings, she opened it and smiled, it turned out that Pei, Zhang, and Su all sent people to the banquet.
There are not many heirs of the Pei family, there are only two sons in the capital Pei Yun, the eldest son Pei Zhan is the Zhongshu waiter, the third princess Xiao Yuai, the second son Pei Hui washes the horse for the prince, Pei Yungui is the prime minister, and he has to be given a clear position, and it is his second son Pei Hui who came to the banquet today, Jiang Mei received the post and learned that Pei Hui brought his cousin Pei Lanying to visit together,
Jiang Mei saw the simple-looking Pei Hui walking into the door with a lively and pretty woman from a distance, Jiang Mei greeted her with a smile, and thought to herself as she walked over, then the red-shirted woman was Pei Lanying, who was married to Mu Shizi.
Of course, along with the Pei brothers and sisters, there is also the second son of the Su family, Su Tan, the beauty of the Su family, not only the beauty of the women, but also the demeanor of the men.
To Jiang Mei's surprise, Zhang Bowang actually let his nephew Zhang Kuanglu come to the banquet, and while he was happy, he also treated Pei's and Su people like Pei's, and Xie Tinglin's only brought a gift because of the dispatch of Xiakou.
After Jiang Mei welcomed several children of the family into the mansion, her eyes looked at the door from time to time, and she thought in her heart, this Nine Emperor Princes should also come.
Sure enough, Jiang Mei soon received a report from her subordinates, so she immediately went to the door to greet her, but Miss Jiang couldn't catch up with the speed of the Nine Emperor Princes after all, when Jiang Mei, who was dressed in a white shirt, hurriedly stepped out to greet her, Xiao Mocheng was already standing at the door with a jade fan in her hand, Jiang Mei raised her eyes and looked at it, her eyes were amazed,
Xiao Mocheng caught Jiang Mei's expression, and a smug smile immediately appeared on his face, daring to love that he was shining today, but suddenly, his smile immediately froze, because he found that Jiang Mei's shining eyes looked behind him over him...
Xiao Mocheng followed her line of sight, and soon his brows furrowed even deeper.
Xiao Moheng looked at Jiang Mei with a faint smile, but Jiang Mei was not looking at Xiao Moheng, but the man in gorgeous clothes next to Xiao Moheng.
Good-looking, really good-looking, Jiang Mei exclaimed in her heart, he is not Mu Xiao and the kind of bright and smooth jade, not Xiao Mocheng's chic and uninhibited, nor Xiao Moheng's handsome and elegant, but there is a kind of Shaorun beauty, even with a little fatal temptation, the skin is like snow, the eyes are like a clear pool, the slight smile at the corner of his mouth is open, like a ripple of water waves, that kind of beauty makes people have a kind of artistic conception that they don't know where they are.
If she hadn't known his identity, Jiang Mei would really think that he was a woman dressed as a man!
Xiao Mocheng glanced at Su Junyi extremely angrily, and seeing that he still looked upside down, he couldn't help but say with disgust: "Have you received an invitation?" If not, how can you go anywhere? ”
He is not angry that Su Junyi is better looking than himself, he has never thought that it is a good thing for a man to look better than a woman, but Su Junyi actually attracted Jiang Mei's attention, he thought that a bold woman like Jiang Mei would not like these men who were too soft, clinker Jiang Mei actually ignored Xiao Mocheng and Xiao Moheng, and looked at Su Junyi with an amazed face. Although this person is his cousin and the eldest son of the Su family, he is unhappy, and he is very unhappy.
Where would Jiang Mei mind if a man is too feminine, she sees very openly and widely, in her eyes, as long as it is a beautiful thing, she doesn't care about gender or status. She has thought about many things that have gone beyond her, and many things in the world seem to her to be acceptable as long as they are there.
Jiang Mei ignored Xiao Mocheng's words, she first bowed to Xiao Moheng and Xiao Mocheng, and then bowed to Su Junyi and said: "It's really a blessing to be able to see the 'No. 1 beautiful man in Dahuan' today!" ”
"Uninvited, I hope the girl Haihan!" Su Junyi, who was dressed in a light blue praise robe, bowed his hand, although he looked extremely soft, his voice was as clear as a man.
Xiao Moheng didn't feel that Jiang Mei was angry for ignoring him, he looked at Jiang Mei's surprised appearance, and felt a little funny, so he smiled and said: "Jun Yi said that he must come to visit the world-famous miracle doctor, so I brought him here, I hope you don't feel abrupt...."
Su Junyi's mother and Xiao Moheng's mother were both from the Huiji Yu family, and the two are also cousins, and almost the entire capital knows that the best relationship between this beautiful man is Xiao Moheng, the king of the edges. The two of them grew up together, with similar personalities, often traveling together, plus they are the same age, and they have more affection than others.
"How dare you, how dare you...."Jiang Mei waved her sleeves again and again, "Please go inside!" ”
After that, Jiang Mei stepped aside and led the three of them into the table, and the children of the family in the banquet greeted themselves.
Xiao Moheng looked at the crowded scene in the courtyard, smiled faintly and didn't say anything, Jiang Mei is very appreciative of this kind of style, what he wants is to be informal, meritocracy, the Yi people steal the Central Plains, the south is a corner of peace, the world is declining, and he does not want to forge ahead, this is not what he wants to see, what the family wants is only the stability of each family, and it is the purpose of their actions. He knew exactly what he wanted, and he knew how he was going to do it.
Xiao Mocheng is a chic person, it is not a lie, those anger is only superficial, after he sat down, he quickly smiled and groaned: "Xiao Mei'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, your complexion is a lot better, it seems that life outside the palace is still suitable for you, in fact, His Royal Highness was supposed to come earlier, but someone blocked the way on the road, you won't be angry!" ”
Jiang Mei smiled awkwardly, he was so kind to her in front of everyone, as if the two had a very close relationship, and what was even more embarrassing was when she allowed him to call her "Xiaomei".
However, it would be a big mistake to reason with the Nine Emperors.
Jiang Mei hurriedly said respectfully: "How dare you, how dare you, Your Highness has just recovered from your illness, and it is Jiang Mei's honor to be able to come." She tried to be as polite and decent as she could, so as to dissociate herself from him.
"Where is he being blocked, obviously he was tripped by the girl from Zhengle Terrace." Su Junyi quipped while drinking a glass of wine.
Xiao Mocheng immediately turned his head sideways and glanced at him, but everyone just lowered their heads and laughed.
"The house has been decorated by you, but it is more comfortable and natural..."Xiao Moheng glanced around, and said gently, he looked at the courtyard of flowers and plants, smelled a wisp of flowers, and suddenly felt relaxed, thinking that the flowers and plants in the courtyard could be used for medicine.
"Jiang Mei thanks the two highnesses for the furniture they sent, and now they are all on display, which is in line with the style of the courtyard."
"That is, can there be anything wrong with the things that His Highness personally selected!" The Nine Emperors boasted of their stinky beauty as always, but they didn't feel very happy when they thought that Xiao Moheng had also sent her furniture.
"Xiaomei, when did you have so many people in your house, and there were so many guests here today, but they were also well arranged." Xiao Mocheng glanced at the house, and Jiang Mei's ability to do things surprised him again.
This question also attracted the attention of many people present, and when everyone heard the Nine Emperors say this, they looked down the corridor and saw many neat attendants shuttling back and forth.
"Where, where, there are only a few attendants and a housekeeper in my house, and the others are all friends of Xiaoyuelou, originally they were here to be guests, but no, if there are too many people, they can only be wronged..."Jiang Mei frowned lightly and explained with a smile.
The relationship between Jiang Mei and Xiaoyuelou, Xiao Mocheng and Xiao Moheng know, but the others at the table were a little surprised, and they all knew the reputation of Xiaoyuelou. This eldest lady of Plum Blossom Valley actually invited Xiaoyuelou's friends in the capital headquarters to be her attendants, which is really a little jaw-dropping.
"Miss Jiang, you practice medicine, Xiaoyuelou sells medicine, it would be convenient if you cooperated!" Pei Lanying is not stupid, and she breaks the mystery in one sentence.
"Since His Majesty wants to keep me in Beijing, I can't brush off the holy will, so I plan to open a medical center in Beijing, and if someone is accidentally poisoned and injured in the future, there will be no need to make a big show to find someone." Jiang Mei said, deliberately glancing at the Nine Emperor Princes, and everyone laughed.
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
Xiao Mocheng smiled more and more happily, he tilted his head and looked at Lan Ying and said, "Xiao Lanying, you are smart, tell me how you are at ease outside these days when Your Highness's life is dying?" "Xiao Mocheng will always make fun of the weak.
When Emperor Xiao ordered Pei Fu to escort Xiao Mocheng into Beijing, Mu Xiaohe and a group of children from the family also accompanied him along the way, and this eldest lady of the Pei family went out for the first time, taking care of the Nine Emperors all the way until entering Beijing, so the relationship between Xiao Mocheng and Pei Lanying was very harmonious.
"People... People are also worried about His Highness's injury, but I can't enter the palace, so... So these days, I took a tour of the capital. Pei Lanying was the most unbearable to be ridiculed by others, and when Xiao Mocheng said this, she suddenly felt ashamed, and now she was already a little incoherent.
"Your Highness has been closed from the ghost gate, but you have a lot of fun..."
"I ......" Pei Lanying immediately turned red with embarrassment.
The more Xiao Mocheng teased her, the happier she became, "Haha......"
"Haha......"
Su Tan couldn't stand it anymore, so he persuaded: "I said Your Highness, you are finally better now, drink a few more glasses of wine to plug your mouth." With that, he raised a toast to him.
"Haha......."
Xiao Moheng on the side looked at everyone at the table and smiled, and finally raised a glass to Jiang Mei to congratulate.
Jiang Mei looked at the smiling guests on and off the corridor, although there was a smile on her lips, she was a little puzzled in her heart, because there was still an empty seat at the banquet.......
