In the evening, the wedding banquet of the Marquis of Wuding ended.

The guests gradually dispersed. For a while, the carriages in front of the Hou Mansion left one after another.

Qiu Jinting had been sitting in the carriage for a long time before waiting for Jiang Ke.

I saw Jiang Ke come in, as if he didn't see her, sitting quietly opposite, without saying a word.

Qiu Jinting was only reserved for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the doubts in his heart, so he opened his mouth first.

Not long after the banquet began, the sister-in-law left first, saying that there was something in the house. What's going on in the house? ”

"How would I know! Even if there is really something in the house, I'm afraid it won't be our turn to know! Jiang Ke's voice was obviously much louder than usual, and his angry tone was particularly obvious.

When Qiu Jinting heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It's the first time she's seen Jiang Ke like this.

In the past, he was either polite and greeting in front of people, or he was cold and ignorant in private, which is completely different from him now.

However, Qiu Jinting soon discovered the reason.

The space in the carriage was already very narrow, and when Jiang Ke was talking just now, there was a burst of wine wafting by, which was very choking.

Qiu Jinting frowned, covered his nose with a handkerchief, even though he was not in his heart, he didn't make a sound anymore, only slandered Jiang Ke in his heart, he actually drank so much wine at the wedding banquet in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, I don't know if there was any disrespectful behavior during the banquet......

At this moment, Jiang Ke, if he knew what Qiu Jinting was worried about, he didn't know how to feel.

In fact, during the banquet, let alone the loss of etiquette, he didn't say a few words in total.

There is no other reason, but no one pays attention to him.

Speaking of which, this is Jiang Ke's first official outing.

He has now become a relative, the wife of a county lord, a flat wife from the Yanguo Mansion, and he has just obtained an official position, which should have been the time of the spring breeze. But he didn't want to, all the guests at the banquet were stunned that no one bought his account.

Recalling the days when Jiang Xuan was sick, every time there was a banquet in the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, he was the host in the front yard to entertain guests.

It's only been a year, and it's been a matter of fact.

Today in the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion, everyone seems to only see Jiang Xuan alone, and the staggered dishes on the wine table and the cups are changed, as if they have nothing to do with themselves.

It wasn't until Jiang Xuan left the table that he breathed a sigh of relief. Although no one still paid attention to him, it was better than those obscure glances cast before, and it was better to compare or disdain, it was better to simply ignore it.

This "quiet", Jiang Ke couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, if he said that he was not drunk, it made his heart even more depressed. And this period of boredom reached its peak in an instant when he boarded the carriage and saw Qiu Jinting with a slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Fortunately, Qiu Jinting didn't say anything more after that, otherwise he was really not sure if he would make any shocking moves.

The Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion and the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion were on Rong'en Street, and it didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in front of the mansion.

As soon as he stopped, Jiang Ke immediately lowered the curtain and entered the house without looking back.

When Xiangqiao came from the back carriage and helped Qiu Jinting get out of the car, they had already lost half of Jiang Ke's trace.

Seeing that Qiu Jinting had maintained a calm posture, Xiangqiao didn't say much, lowered her eyebrows and helped her into the house, changed into a green silk car and returned to Fengyuan.

As soon as I entered the main house of Fengyuan, it was really the same as before, and Jiang Ke was not seen.

After all, he drank wine today, Qiu Jinting was a little uneasy after all, and sent Xiangqiao out to ask one or two.

In less than a stick of incense, Xiangqiao returned to the main house, with a sad face.

"Where did the second master go?" Qiu Jinting himself felt that this was a bit knowingly asked.

"Went to the Tang ......" Xiangqiao stopped at the right time and changed her words: "I went to the Tang family's house." Tang's maid came out and said that the second master would rest there today, so that the second grandmother didn't have to worry about it. ”

Qiu Jinting sneered in his heart, but he was already a little used to it.

Seeing Xiangqiao's spitting at this time, she only thought that she was afraid that she would be angry about Jiang Ke's behavior.

As everyone knows, the reason why Xiangqiao stopped was because she almost called Tang Shan "Second Grandma Tang". In fact, now everyone in Fengyuan is shouting like this, but Qiu Jinting doesn't know it.

"Miss Cousin, can you rest?" Qiu Jinting couldn't hide his boredom, so he thought of He Qingwan.

"Miss Cousin hasn't come back yet. Let people bring a message, saying that it is late, and he has not been back to Hefu for a long time, and he wants to stay for one night today and come back tomorrow morning. ”

Qiu Jinting bowed slightly.

He Qingwan returned to He Mansion and greeted her in advance. Those words such as "crossing the catastrophe" are nothing more than the statements that Princess Chengyang came up with, although everyone does not break it, but they all know it, so it is not at this moment, and she doesn't take it seriously.

On the other hand, He Qingwan's side is not as calm as her.

These days, He Qingwan has been carrying the square handkerchief, meditating and thinking hard, and he can't sleep day and night.

Later, when he learned that Jiang Xuan was about to go to Mobei, he was even more panicked. Time is running out, and it seems that she has to make a fuss about this veil. It's just that the day of the expedition is getting closer and closer, and she still has to go back to her home to discuss it with her mother.

finally picked the opportunity for Qiu Jinting to accompany Jiang Ke out, and he also went back to Hefu, but he didn't want to, Qiu Muyun, who didn't have much contact with the Marquis of Wuding Mansion on weekdays, also went to join in the excitement today, waiting left and right, but she didn't come back, so people brought a message to Qiu Jinting, saying that he was going to stay in Hefu for one night.

In the end, it wasn't until the time was approaching that he waited for Qiu Muyun back.

He Qingwan said the rhetoric he had thought of these days. Of course, except that the veil was indeed Jiang Xuan's, there was almost no truth anymore.

He Qingwan knew in her heart that no matter how bold Qiu Muyun was, if she told Jiang Xuan's attitude towards her truthfully, she was not sure that the He family would stand up for her.

The approximate meaning is that this veil was given to her by the Marquis of Jingyuan, but later she regretted it and didn't want to admit it.

Although the process of "giving the veil" was vague by her, Qiu Muyun did not question it at all.

Xu is this was originally very much in line with what she thought in her heart, in short, Qiu Muyun had no intention of asking for proof at all, and after listening to He Qingwan's words, he immediately began to help make suggestions.

"You haven't mentioned this matter to the people in the Hou Mansion, have you?" Qiu Muyun asked first.

"Nope." He Qingwan told the truth, "Even the second grandmother didn't say it." ”

"Well, that's good." Qiu Muyun paused, seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally said: "Since the attitude of the prince is inconsistent, for the sake of safety, let's still mention this matter in a few days." ”

"This ......" He Qingwan was a little anxious, thinking that her mother didn't plan to help her do this.

Qiu Muyun continued: "In the past two days, you still have to keep your mouth shut, and don't mention this matter to anyone. After two days, the prince will leave Beijing, and I will come to the door...... He is not there, but it is easier, I met Mrs. Wu, and tried to settle this matter once! ”

Qiu Muyun said extremely firmly.

He Qingwan couldn't hide her excitement when she heard this.

It's really the mother who has the best way.

……

At this time, Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong on Fengqi Mountain had no idea that someone was calculating them.

Especially Lu Qingrong, who was still talking about Qin Tianjian's oolong.

"It took me a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain, and I waited there for a long time, and I didn't see anything. You'll have to make it up to me! ”

Listening to Lu Qingrong's pretended to be pretentious, the smile on Jiang Xuan's face deepened: "This is compensation!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up Lu Qingrong and came to the stone table.

Lu Qingrong followed Jiang Xuan to the table, only to see several carved wooden food boxes placed next to the table, and all the food in them had been placed on the table at this time. Xu has been warming it with the charcoal fire below, and the wine and food on the table are still steaming.

"What is this?" Lu Qingrong didn't know when these were conjured.

"Birthday feast."

Lu Qingrong was just joking just now, but he didn't expect that there would really be "compensation".

Sitting opposite Jiang Xuan, looking at a white jade thin-necked wine jug on the table, as well as a pair of delicate and small wine glasses, Lu Qingrong was slightly surprised: "Is this really wine?" ”

Jiang Xuan chuckled: "Drinking under the moon, it should be a beautiful scenery." It's just that you never drink, so let's just put on a show. ”

He meant it.

Lu Qingrong didn't follow at this time, and insisted on trying it.

Jiang Xuan couldn't resist her, so he had to hold the pot himself and pour her a small half cup.

Lu Qingrong had never drunk wine, but the more he hadn't drunk, the less afraid he was, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

When she had reacted to the spicy taste, the wine had already drained, and almost instantaneously passed, she began to open her mouth and pant vigorously, and from time to time she fanned with her hands, hoping to alleviate the burning sensation.

Seeing that she was about to jump up, Jiang Xuan couldn't help laughing.

Lu Qingrong looked at him and smiled, his tongue was so hot that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time before he squeezed out a few words: "You're still laughing!" ”

"You know what I'm thinking right now?" Jiang Xuan didn't refute either.

"What do you think?" Lu Qingrong asked with a frown, thinking that it must not be a good thing.

"I remember the first time I saw you, that year's Dragon Boat Festival, in the Lichun Courtyard behind Jinghu, when you were standing in the courtyard, just panting like just now, it was very interesting to watch." Jiang Xuan recalled.

"That wasn't the first time you've seen me!" Lu Qingrong corrected casually.

"Well, it's your first time in the capital." Jiang Xuan was a little strange, "Further back, you are too young, can you remember the events at that time?" ”

Lu Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "It was my mother who told me to listen." ”

At this time, Lu Qingrong was still able to justify his gaffe, just because he had just had a glass of wine.

As a first-time drinker, she didn't feel any discomfort after the first spicy.

So, no matter how Jiang Xuan stopped him later, he couldn't stop Lu Qingrong's interest in having a drink. R1152
