Chapter Eighty-Nine: He's Back
Mu Changyuan looked at the Qingxin Garden under the sunset, and his heart couldn't help but throb, and he couldn't help but enter the courtyard.
He rarely came to Qingxin Garden.
So little that he couldn't remember the last time he came.
Cuigu Yingying came out to serve tea, and looked at him with a solemn expression: "Master, Gong Si said that as soon as the prince entered the capital, he went directly to the palace, and I am afraid that he will only come back at night." ”
"I know, I'm just here to sit." Mu Changyuan took a sip of tea and looked at her thoughtfully, "Cui'er, I've suffered you all these years." ”
At the beginning, Wu became pregnant soon after getting married, and once asked him to accept a maid to do the room, and he fell in love with Cuigu at a glance, but the Wu family somehow regretted it and never mentioned the matter of the room again.
But Cui Gu has avoided him intentionally or unintentionally since then.
Later, Wu died of illness, took Cuigu's hand and asked her to marry Mu Changyuan, but she also refused, she said that she promised to stay and take care of the two poor children, but she would never marry again.
"Where does the master say, what is not bitter." Cui Gu smiled, "Over the years, the slave and maid have to thank the master for giving the slave and maid a place to live, otherwise the slave and maid don't know where to wander." ”
"Cui'er, you know I'm not talking about this, you didn't have to be so lonely originally." Mu Changyuan looked at her emotionally, touched her face, and sighed, "Actually, I have ...... you all these years."
"Master, Aunt Tian is talking to the second young lady in the inner garden, and the slave has to go over to see if you want to instruct the kitchen to prepare your aunt's meal." Cui Gu interrupted him quietly, turned and walked out.
"Cui'er, you have me in your heart, don't you?" Mu Changyuan looked at her back and suddenly asked.
Cuigu paused, did not answer, slowly went down to the second floor, turned his head, but saw Gong Sizheng hurriedly walked in, saw her, and said urgently: "Cuigu, you go upstairs to prepare two changes of clothes for the prince, I will go to the inner garden to inform the second young lady, tonight the Shilang Mansion invited the two of them to the banquet, and the prince was waiting there." ”
Cui Gu had to turn around and go up to the second floor.
"Can't you go if you don't go?" Shen Qingli was a little worried, she was a little inconvenient in the past two days, and she really didn't want to go out.
Why did that man take her to the banquet as soon as he came back!
Speechless!
I don't know if it's convenient to ask her!
"Second Young Lady, today is the seventieth birthday of the old lady Xu of the Shilang Mansion, Aunt Wu also asked someone to talk two days ago, saying that if the prince does not come back, let the second young lady go alone, today the Shilang Mansion has just come to the post, it must be difficult to excuse it, besides, just have a meal, and I will come back in about an hour." Although Gong Si didn't know why the second young lady refused, but the prince ordered him to come back to pick up people, he couldn't even do this thing, right?
In fact, on such an occasion, Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye should have gotten there, but because Hou Ye once went to propose marriage to Xiao Wu's family, and later regretted the marriage, there was a lot of trouble, so over the years, the two families have been avoiding suspicion in private matters and have not moved.
"Alright then, I'll clean it up first." Shen Qingli had to reluctantly answer.
Although those cotton cloths are very useful, after all, the time of holding is shorter, so you need to bring a few more pieces, just in case.
"Second young lady, don't worry, the weather is cold now, and you are thickly dressed, it's okay." Bi Tao quickly helped her change into the aqua red dress and comforted, "Besides, isn't there still an aunt of the son?" When the time comes, it would be nice to let her lead us to change. ”
"That's all there is to it." Momozhi hurriedly took a big red cloak and put it on her body, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid now, it's red inside and out." ”
"Wait." Shen Qingli looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, and said helplessly, "I'd better go to the clean room again and leave!" ”
Bi Tao and Tao Zhi couldn't help but look at each other.
Young lady, in less than a cup of tea, you have already been there three times!
Are there so many?
I finally arrived at the Shilang Mansion.
The feast has been opened.
The moontop treetops, the house is brightly lit.
A maid had already stepped forward and led Shen Qingli to the Yuanshan Pavilion.
Xiao Wu had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Shen Qingli, he smiled and said, "Why did you come?" Hong Yuan arrived early. ”
"I've kept my aunt waiting." Shen Qingli stepped forward and held her hand affectionately.
The two held hands and entered the main hall.
Bi Tao and Tao Zhi followed closely and walked to the door, but they were politely stopped by the servant woman standing there, saying that they had to wait here and did not need to go in.
Xiao Wu explained: "There are a lot of people inside, so the subordinates don't have to go in, if you have anything, just tell me, and I will send someone to find them." ”
Shen Qingli had to nod and agree, let it be!
The banquet hall of the Shilang Mansion is very magnificent, decorated with flowers, although it is in the house, it is like a pastoral scenery, small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and boulders, and even a few trees with lush foliage, lush, very eye-catching.
Shen Qingli quietly glanced at the crowd, and did not see Mu Yunting's shadow, so he followed Xiao Wu and took a seat.
The banquet hall is divided into men and women by a small bridge.
The men are on the left and the women are on the right.
Separated by a few lush trees, looming, as if leaving.
The main house is very well arranged.
Looking at the people at the same table, Shen Qingli had a feeling that the world was too small, and the Duchess Huang was also there, and the two met, and after politely greeting each other, they stopped looking at each other.
Huang had a wry smile on his face.
Oh, yes!
A few days ago, I went to someone's house to add fuel and vinegar and said that people were taken advantage of by that King Jin or something, which was really embarrassing.
In addition to the four of them, there are still two vacant seats, so presumably other guests haven't come yet!
Mrs. Wang is a good look, although she didn't say a few words, but she always had a polite smile on her face, and she was also gentle to the ladies present, knowing that Shen Qingli was from Jingzhou, she specially ordered the kitchen to make a few Jingzhou dishes, and her mind was very delicate.
The hostess didn't have to say anything about the hospitality.
The food was also quite palatable.
A jar of chicken with a steaming umami was placed in front of Shen Qingli, followed by a plate of sauce-flavored pig's trotters and steamed fish, and a vegetarian dish was also served.
It seems that these dishes are all prepared for her.
"Don't be surprised, Mrs. Shizi, these are the chef's best dishes, and naturally they are not as good as those made by the special chefs in the house." Wang politely conceded.
"Madame is polite, as the saying goes, follow the customs of the locals, these dishes in the house are excellent, and there is really no need to make them for me." Shen Qingli hurriedly got up and saluted.
The two exchanged polite expressions before sitting down again.
"Why didn't Princess Jin come?" Huang glanced at Shen Qingli quietly and asked.
"The princess said that she was infected with the cold, so she didn't come." Wang still has a decent smile on her face, although she is not very beautiful, but her demeanor is full, but with an indescribable elegance and calmness, giving people a very dignified atmosphere.
"Oh, that's a shame." Huang glanced at Xiao Wu, and saw that she was just trying to let Shen Qingli eat vegetables, and snorted coldly, it was really a family, and they were all taken by King Jin, and they just wanted to say something, but when they saw Xia Yunchu walking towards this side with the guqin, he closed his mouth in amusement.
The Wang family is also from a family, the ancestors can be traced back to the previous dynasty, and other families are different, their family was not affected by the restoration of the previous dynasty, although they also moved out of the capital, but they were the first to be recalled, Wang's father Wang Tingzheng soared all the way into the cabinet, becoming a high-powered cabinet secondary.
If it was in the past, the officials in the court would have scolded them a long time ago.
Speaking of which, he is still the uncle of King Jin!
But because he is Wang Tingzheng, no one scolds him, because he has been a household name since he was a child, and he is also the only talent in Daliang who has three yuan.
Although Wang Caizi is over forty years old and still very young, he and Shen Qingli's grandfather, Shen Yixuan, who is more than ten years older than him, are known as the two great talents of East King and West Shen.
Today, the descendants of the two great talents meet here.
Naturally, it attracted a lot of mixed eyes.
Shen Qingli naturally didn't know this, but just ate the sauce pig's trotters with relish, the taste was not bad, fat but not greasy, and it melted in the mouth, which showed that there were masters everywhere.
Eating is never-ending.
I secretly thought in my heart, when I have the opportunity, I must ask my aunt to introduce this master who makes pork trotters in sauce, it is so delicious!
In her previous life, she had never eaten such delicious pig's trotters.
Just thinking about it, he heard a fairly familiar voice sound: "Madam, second young lady, one is the daughter of the king of the east and the granddaughter of the other is the granddaughter of the king of the west, do you have to get up and dance a song for everyone to cheer up." ”
Emma, how is this person everywhere?
Shen Qingli almost sprayed rice and danced?
Does this Xia Yunchu have a grudge against her?
Have a good meal, you'll die!
What else is there in the east and the west, why doesn't she know!
"Back then, the East King was famous for a song "Peacock Flying Southeast", and later Xi Shen made up a peacock dance according to this song. Xu Youze also walked over and said with a smile, "Is the second young lady willing to appreciate her face and dance with Neiko?" ”
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
A series of commotion came.
Shen Qingli couldn't help but gasp.
Mu Yunting, where are you?
It was the man who stood up and said something.
I didn't see the man say anything for a long time, Shen Qingli was stunned, and when he saw Xu Youze looking at her expectantly, he smiled reluctantly: "That concubine is respectful, it's better to obey." ”
"Haha, sure enough, I know my wife Mo Ruofu, just now Mu Shizi also said that the young lady will definitely dance this dance, so I dare to come and ask for it." Xu You laughed,
Mu Yunting, you are so embarrassed, hide in the shadows and go under the knife.
Shameless!
Shen Qingli scolded secretly.
In an instant, a sneeze was heard not far away.
"Is Hongyuan suffering from the cold?" A voice asked with concern.
"Second young lady, let's go change clothes!" Wang said softly.
Changing clothes and clothes, Shen Qingli suddenly felt like she was about to cry!
Is this to let the guests admire her blood-stained peacock dress? R1152
