Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Twin Lotus
"Madame, Mrs. Pavilion has arrived." A servant trotted over to give a message.
When Mrs. Jin heard this, she was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stood up: "Quick, please!" ”
As he was talking, he saw a woman about forty years old, holding a maid's arm, and slowly walked over, it was Mrs. Jiang of the old Jiang Ge.
Mrs. Jiang's face was like a goose egg, her appearance was dignified, she was wearing a dark purple cardigan, her moon-white skirt was faintly visible, and her hair was neatly pulled into a fallen horse bun. Except for a phoenix wearing a peony gold step swaying obliquely, there are no other jewelry.
Mrs. Jin hurriedly stepped forward, "In-laws, please hurry, please hurry!" ”
"My mother is polite!" Mrs. Jiang returned the salute slightly, reached out to hold Mrs. Jin's hand, and the two walked back to the banquet hand in hand.
On the side, Jiang Xiaoxuan and Jade Qilin, who had just returned, were shocked when they suddenly saw this change, and hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of their feet.
"My in-laws came from afar, and it was really painful for me to be old." Mrs. Jin patted Mrs. Jiang's hand and smiled.
Mrs. Jiang smiled warmly and said, "Madame is serious, it is the little sister who should come to visit as soon as possible, but the distance is far away, and she is suffering from a minor illness, so it was delayed, but she finally arrived in time." ”
"That in-laws' body ......," Mrs. Jin's face was full of worry.
Mrs. Jiang smiled: "It's just that I occasionally feel a cold, and I have recovered." ”
"That's good. I'll take you to meet your son-in-law. As she spoke, Mrs. Jin beckoned Jin Yuan Bao to step forward.
The gold ingots hurriedly stepped forward and saluted gracefully: "Son-in-law to meet my mother-in-law." ”
The golden ingots and treasure jade trees stood there in the wind, and Mrs. Jiang was naturally the mother-in-law, and the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked it. Dang even smiled happily: "What a talent, my family Xiaoxuan is so blessed." ”
Mrs. Jin hurriedly said humbly: "Where, Xiaoxuan is virtuous and virtuous." My family's Yuanbao married her, which is really a blessing, and I want to thank you for raising a good daughter. Hey, Yuanbao, what about Xiaoxuan? ”
Hearing this, Jin Yuan Bao looked left and right, and said, "She was still here just now." In the blink of an eye, it was gone. Maybe I'm going to get busy. ”
"What are you busy with, hurry up and bring her to see her mother-in-law."
"Yes!"
At this time, Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan were hiding in the corner outside. Whisper your talk.
"Why did she come again, she obviously said she wouldn't come!" The jade unicorn was extremely depressed.
Jiang Xiaoxuan was also anxious: "I really didn't expect her to come to a surprise attack, we were all prepared!" ”
"It's over, it's over! It's really over! Xi'er's face turned pale and she rushed in a panic.
This time. Let's make a mess! Jade Qilin glanced at her dissatisfiedly: "I have to think of a way quickly." Can't wait to die. ”
Xi'er blamed: "What else can you do?" It's all your fault. ”
"Xi'er, shut up!" Jiang Xiaoxuan scolded in a low voice.
"I'm going to die anyway, and it's useless to say anything."
In the distance, suddenly there was a cry of gold ingots: "Xiaoxuan! Xiaoxuan! ”
The faces of the three women became even more nervous.
"It's broken! The ingots have been found. Jiang Xiaoxuan glanced at it.
"Let's hide!" The jade unicorn came up with an idea.
Xi'er stomped her foot: "I can't hide from the first fifteen!" It's really a death sentence now! ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer, and her heart was numb: "Sister, we don't have time, if we don't go over, the eldest lady will be suspicious." ”
The voice of the gold ingots is also getting closer and closer!
"Ahh Xi'er screamed in extreme fear. Flee quickly.
"Xi'er!" Jiang Xiaoxuan wanted to chase
"Stop chasing!" The jade unicorn grabbed her and looked at the dancing costume she was still wearing. "Let's go out first!" ”
At the Jinfu birthday banquet.
Mrs. Jin was talking to Mrs. Jiang in a low voice.
Suddenly, the music played, and in the middle of the music, two girls in the same dance costumes, dancing like twins, slowly moved towards the main table.
This is none other than Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan.
Due to the nervousness and rustiness of the jade unicorn, he has not been able to fully match Jiang Xiaoxuan. Jiang Xiaoxuan encouraged her with her eyes and asked her to follow her own actions. The jade unicorn smiled knowingly, and its movements gradually flowed like clouds.
Mrs. Jiang was stunned.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "I said why Xiaoxuan disappeared, it turned out that I went to prepare for this special program." ”
While speaking, the Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan had already danced in front of Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang.
The two exchanged glances.
The two women raised their glasses at the same time, and with the help of dance moves, they naturally toasted Mrs. Kim.
Mrs. Kim smiled and raised her glass, and drank it all.
Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan faced Mrs. Jiang at the same time, and raised their glasses to Mrs. Jiang at the same time.
Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled sweetly at Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang raised her glass in her hand and took a sip gently.
The guests applauded.
The two women held hands and spun around, and the corners of their skirts flew like snow, like two blooming lotus flowers.
Mrs. Jin praised: "Your family Xiaoxuan really has the heart to arrange such a unique toasting ceremony." ”
Mrs. Jiang smiled faintly: "Xiaoxuan has nothing else to do, but she likes to dance since she was a child, and she is ugly in front of her in-laws." ”
"Where, very good jump. She's danced once before, and this dance is presumably just for you. ”
At this time, Jin Yuan Bao returned to the banquet hall and happened to see the jade unicorn and Jiang Xiaoxuan dancing as a duet.
Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan twirled and gradually moved away from the main table through dance moves.
"Thanks to you for coming up with this." Jiang Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice.
"I've finally passed this hurdle, and the trouble is still to come." Jade Qilin frowned.
The two whispered as they turned around the corner, intending to sneak away.
Who knew that Mrs. Jin suddenly stopped her: "Xiaoxuan, why don't you hurry up and come over with Xue'er to meet your mother."
Yu Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan were stunned for a moment, and they came over and knelt down, bowing their heads for a long time without speaking.
Mrs. Jin looked at the two of them for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you speak?" ”
When the two of them heard this, their heads drooped even lower, and they didn't dare to speak, and everyone looked at each other when they saw this.
"Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Jiang also felt a little strange.
The heads of the two hung lower, Mrs. Jiang leaned over to look at the jade unicorn suspiciously, the jade unicorn hurriedly lowered her head to dodge, Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Xiaoxuan again, and Jiang Xiaoxuan also hurriedly dodged.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yu Qilin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Xiaoxuan to meet her mother!" ”
"What did you say?" Mrs. Jiang stared at the jade unicorn in shock, and after being stunned for a moment, she looked at Jiang Xiaoxuan, who was bowing her head and didn't dare to speak: "Raise your head." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan slowly raised her head, and when Mrs. Jiang saw it, she immediately slapped the table: "What the hell is going on?" ”
At this moment, I heard a notification from the door: "Second Highness has arrived!" ”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. Jin and her heart was greatly shaken.
Suddenly, the second prince led a group of people in, and when Mrs. Jin saw this, she hurriedly led everyone forward to salute, and introduced everyone one by one, and everyone saluted respectfully with the introduction.
"This is the mother-in-law of the courtier, the old lady of Jiang Ge. Mrs. Jiang also just arrived today. ”
Mrs. Jiang gave a salute and said gently: "See Second Highness." The courtiers were fortunate enough to see His Royal Highness as soon as they arrived in the capital. ”
The second prince looked at the two ladies of Jin Jiang, and suddenly smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang's parents finally met, but unfortunately they were disturbed by the uninvited guest of this king!" ”
Mrs. Jin frowned, but she was neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Highness is laughing." This is the Inuko Gold Ingot. ”
The gold ingots hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.
The second prince helped him up, and a trace of chill crossed his eyes, but this chill was fleeting, "The young god catches gold ingots, this king has already heard of it!", after that, he turned his head to look at the jade unicorn, and his appreciation flashed: "This lady must be the daughter of the Jiang family who was given gold and jade by the emperor?" ”
The jade unicorn was noticed by everyone, and he had to raise his head, nervous, and glanced at Mrs. Jiang very quickly. Mrs. Jiang's eyes flickered.
Mrs. Jin smiled: "This is Jiang Xiaoxuan, the daughter-in-law of the courtier. ”
What to do? If the second prince is told about the jade unicorn's marriage, not only will the jade unicorn lose his head, but it is likely that the two families of Jinjiang will be to blame!
Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan were in a cold sweat.
In the hall, there was an eerie silence.
Suddenly, Mrs. Jiang turned her head to hold the jade unicorn and said with a gentle smile: "Xiaoxuan, today is your mother-in-law's fiftieth birthday, and His Royal Highness has come in person, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and take care of the birthday banquet." She glanced at the jade unicorn with sharp eyes, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoxuan without a trace.
Mrs. Jiang was obviously smiling like a spring breeze, but the jade qilin still felt her pressure, and she hurriedly squatted down and saluted, "Yes." ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Jin smiled one by one, then turned her head to look for it, and glanced at Liu Wenzhao, who was waiting on the side: "This is the nephew of the courtier, and now he is also the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, Liu Wenzhao." ”
Liu Wenzhao bowed his head deeply and saluted: "I've seen Your Highness." ”
The second prince watched Liu Wenzhao lean over, but did not call out for a long time.
Madame Jin was surprised, and quickly glanced at the second prince.
The second prince seemed to wake up suddenly: "Ah, Liu Wenzhao, Liu Wenzhao, please get up, please get up." Liu Wenzhao's appearance and demeanor made the king feel cordial for some reason, and saw Liu Wenzhao standing far away, as if he didn't want to greet the king. ”
Liu Wenzhao lowered his head and said softly: "The villain doesn't dare." The villain just felt that his status was low, and he didn't dare to appear rashly in front of His Highness. After saying that, he was about to retreat, but was stopped by the second prince.
"Since this king said that he was kind to you, you should stay with this king and take care of it."
Seeing this, Liu Wenzhao had to bow his head respectfully: "Your Highness wants to change your clothes?" Please come with the villain. ”
Hearing this, the second prince nodded, and then followed Liu Wenzhao to retreat, and everyone was a little relieved, but they still didn't dare to relax.
Mrs. Jin lowered her voice to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mother-in-law, Your Royal Highness has never had anything to do with my house, and it is really strange to come here suddenly this time. ”
Mrs. Jiang nodded: "No matter what, there is nothing wrong with our in-laws being together." After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yu and the others behind him, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "As long as we don't make a mess ourselves." (To be continued......)
