No.315 Smooth before the banquet

At the end of the day, Zhou Boyan took the Qingshu sisters and brothers into Princess Jingyang's mansion. It was not yet time for the feast, but all the guests were invited to the parlor.

The banquet room of Princess Jingyang's Mansion is very large, and the decoration is very atmospheric, but it is not luxurious. The whole banquet hall is divided by a row of screens, and the left and right sides are divided into two. The left side is used for male guests, and the right side is used for female guests. In this way, the male and female guests are separated, and the guests on both sides cannot see each other. In addition, the tables and chairs on both sides are arranged at some distance from the screen, and the voices of people are not loud, and people on both sides cannot hear the conversation of the other side clearly.

Zhou Boyan was invited to the left where the male guest was, and he brought Qingyang and Qinghao over. Qing Shu was invited to the right where the female guest was.

Lord Yun obviously arrived one step earlier than Qing Shu. She happily got up from her seat to greet her, "Sister Shu, come here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Qing Shu walked over with a smile. She just wanted to salute, but Lord Yun stepped forward and grabbed her arm. She laughed and asked in a joking tone, "County Lord, do you want me to be exempted from the courtesy?" ”

Lord Yun said with a nonchalant face, "Excuse me, excuse me." Then he looked at the two girls who were very luxuriously dressed here, "Lord Zhi, Lord Mu, you are also exempt, right?" ”

Among them, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a goose egg face, dressed in a luxurious light green undergarment with a light blue skirt, coupled with her smart expression, made her whole person delicate and extravagant. After listening to Lord Yun's words, I saw her put on a look that she couldn't do anything about you, and said, "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, how dare we let your Sister Shu give us a salute?" The voice sounded crisp and pleasant, with a little immaturity, which didn't match the words in her mouth.

The round-faced fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl next to her shook her head helplessly, and said to Qing Shu in a soft voice, "Miss Gu doesn't care about her." She! Don't look young, but I always like to pretend to be calm, but I don't look like it every time, it's very funny. ”

The egg-faced girl immediately protested in annoyance, and there was a bit of coquettishness in her tone, "Sister Mu, you demolished other people's platforms again, people are very faceless, do you know Lu Dao?" ”

The round-faced girl smiled silently at this, but invited Qingshu to take a seat.

At the same table with the county lords, Qing Shu felt a lot of pressure.

Lord Yun didn't know Qing Shu's pressure, so he took Qing Shu forward, and let Qing Shu sit on the chair on his right hand without saying anything. Sitting down, she pointed to the round-faced girl and introduced her to Qingshu, "This is the Lord of the Five Princes' Mansion, who is the same age as her sister and more than a month older than her sister." She pointed to the goose-faced girl again, "This is the county lord of the Nine Kings Mansion, who is two years younger than her sister. ”

Qing Shu hurriedly got up to salute.

Lord Yun grabbed Qing Shu's wrist in time and didn't let Qing Shu get up, "Sister Shu, I said that I would be exempted from the courtesy." ”

Lord Mu smiled gently, "There are no elders here, so the matter of etiquette is all exempt." Let's talk casually! ”

Lord Zhijun agreed, "That's the reason. Then she looked at Qing Shu with a mysterious expression, "Miss Gu, the county lord has something to ask for, I wonder if Miss Gu can agree?" ”

Qing Shu chuckled in his heart, and his face showed a little apprehension, "If what the county lord asks for is something I can do, I will naturally go all out." It's just that I'm a shallow person, and I don't know if I can serve the county lord? ”

Hearing this, Lord Zhijun's eyes lit up, "Miss Gu doesn't have to be humble. This matter is not difficult for Miss Gu, it is just a gesture. As she spoke, she tugged at Lord Mu's sleeve under her head, "Good sister, let's change seats!" My sister wants to sit next to Miss Gu, and my sister wants to whisper a few words to Miss Gu. ”

Lord Mu said helplessly, "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, this is with you." ”

Soon, the two county lords changed seats.

Lord Zhi sat next to Qing Shu and whispered to Qing Shu with a mysterious expression, "Can you tell us the story of your lamp?" ”

Qing Shu was puzzled, "The story of the lamp?" "What is the story of the lamp? Does she have a story about the lights? She didn't know how to do it.

Lord Zhijun pursed his lips slightly, and shouted in a low voice, "Sister Yun, you speak!" ”

Lord Yun glared at Lord Zhi, and then looked at Qing Shu embarrassedly, "Sister Shu, what she said was the story of "Chen Xiang Saves Mother". She said a little awkwardly, "A few days ago, Chang'er and Qingyang fell when they were playing together. Qingyang was afraid that he would cry, coaxed him, and told him a story about the treasure lamp, that is, "Chen Xiang Saves His Mother". Chang'er returned to the palace and told us with a look of vigour, and clamored to ask his father to buy him a treasure lamp like Chen Xiang. Sister Zhi happened to be there at that time. ”

Lord Zhijun couldn't help nodding, "Chang'er said, Qingyang only told him a short paragraph, and there are many stories behind. She stared at Qing Shu with shining eyes, "Would you like to tell us the story behind us?" And the treasure lamp. ”

Qing Shu's heart fell to the ground. What I asked for for a long time was to let her tell stories. She was probably too sensitive, and thought that Zhijun was mainly looking for trouble with her! Startled her. She smiled, "That story, I used it to coax Qingyang and them to be obedient." I didn't expect the county lord to like it too. May I ask the county lord, which part of the story did you listen to? ”

Lord Zhijun was very happy and said, "Chen Xiang burned the life and death of the entire Liujia Village. No one in Liujia Village will die, and those bad heavenly soldiers can't kill the villagers. In this way, Erlang God can no longer threaten Chen Xiang with the lives of the people of Liujia Village. And then? And then? Did Chen Xiang find her mother? Did you win the Erlang God to save your mother? ”

"Yes, yes, did Chen Xiang save his mother?" Lord Yun stared at Qing Shu eagerly, and he was also very curious about the story behind him.

Lord Mujun's eyes were puzzled, "Wait a minute, it's Chen Xiang, Erlang God, and a treasure lamp, what kind of story is this?" Does it sound good? ”

Lord Zhi's eyes lit up, "It's good!" Chang'er has been making trouble going to Young Master Gu to listen to the story for the past two days. But his cousin didn't let him come to the door, and he cried. ”

"Sister Zhi, Sister Mu, Sister Yun, Miss Gu, why are you so happy?" Lord Rong was originally sitting at the table next to him. From the moment Qing Shu came in, she began to pay attention to the movement here. She intended to reconcile with the Yunjun major, and when she saw that the atmosphere here was just right, she came over.

The county lord of Zhi and the county lord Mu invited the county lord of Rong to sit down and told them what they were talking about.

And Lord Yun probably hasn't forgiven Lord Rong yet. I saw her snort dissatisfiedly, ignoring the county lord Rong. At the same time, she didn't let Qing Shu get up to salute, and emphasized, "No matter who comes to our table today, the number of salutes will be waived, and no one wants Sister Shu to give her a salute." ”

Since the county lord of Rong has the intention to repair, he is naturally very good-tempered, "Sister Yun, no one wants Miss Gu to see the courtesy, why are you in a hurry?" After saying this, she looked at Qing Shu with a smile on her face, "Miss Gu is so beautiful, the more she looks at it, the more beautiful she becomes." ”

Qing Shu smiled lightly and coped with it easily, "Thank you for the compliment." Qing Shu couldn't listen to the praise, and he was a little dizzy and couldn't find the north! ”

There was a smile in Lord Rong's beautiful eyes, "Miss Gu is really good at talking." ”

The county lord of Yun didn't give face to the county lord of Rong, so he didn't talk to him, and he didn't let Qingshu talk to the county lord of Rong. She took Qing Shu's hand and said, "Miss Zhou from the Amberhou Mansion is here." I'm going to call her over. Then he turned his face sideways and said a few words to the maid behind him.

The maid left and quickly invited Zhou Qingyi over. Zhou Qingyi didn't come alone, she came with Gu Qingqiu.

As a result, the number of people at their table changed from four to seven. Fortunately, the table was large, and seven people sat down, and it didn't feel crowded at all. At this point, the topic of storytelling was completely diverged, and the seven of them laughed and talked lowly. There are hot tea, delicate snacks, peanuts, melon seeds, red dates, candies, nuts and other snacks on the table, and the girls will not be bored.

Suddenly, on the other side of the screen, on the male side, there was the sound of boys' laughter, mixed with the sound of fighting. Through the screen that is more than one person high, the female guests can't see the situation on the male side. Someone was curious and glanced at his maid. The maid quietly retreated and inquired about the news.

Qingyang and Qinghao are over there, and I don't know how they get along with other little boys? Qing Shu couldn't sit still, and motioned for Xiao Huan to go over to explore the situation.

Lord Yun didn't care. But when he saw that Qing Shu sent a maid out of the city, he understood that Qing Shu was thinking about his younger brother. Today, she also brought her younger brother, who is six-year-old Chang'er. Qingshu cares about her brother, and she should care about it too. Thinking so, she also sent the maid over.

Suddenly, the noise of the boys was gone, but listening to the chaotic footsteps, it seemed that they had left the banquet room.

The maids who sent Lu came back inconsistently, and Xiao Huan and the maids of the Yun County Lord came back together the most.

Xiao Huan whispered to Qingshu, "Don't worry, young masters, young masters!" The slave maid asked about the first day of the first year and the wood. Previously, there were a few little sons who intended to snub Young Master Yang and Young Master Hao. Young Master Yang and Young Master Hao took a storybook from their bodies and came out. Young Master Yang's story booklet was given to Young Master Jin in the Princess's Mansion. Young Master Hao's story booklet was given to Young Master Chang of the Six Princes' Mansion. Young Master Jin and Young Master Chang were very happy when they saw the stories and illustrations in the booklet, and the baby read them on the spot. This attracted other little boys to come around to watch, and they all grabbed the back. They asked Young Master Yang and Young Master Hao if there were any such books, and they were all vying and rushing to be friends with Young Master Yang and Young Master Hao! ”

A gentle smile appeared between Qing Shu's eyebrows, "It's a shame that they came up with it!" "Yes, yes, they're so smart, and they make friends. Since the problem was solved without fighting, she would definitely praise them when she returned. She was feeling happy in her heart, and her sleeves tightened. She lowered her head, only to realize that it was Lord Yun who was tugging on her sleeve. She looked at Lord Yun in confusion and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Lord Yun smiled embarrassedly, "Sister Shu, is there any more storybook?" Give me a copy, okay? ”

Qing Shu thought it was funny, and then hooked his finger at her.

The county lord of Yun actually gave up the image of the county lord and came over obediently like a child who pleases adults.

Qing Shu smiled and whispered to her, "At the beginning of tomorrow, you will see me off." All wishes will come true! Then he motioned for her to sit back, and added, "Confidential." ”

Lord Yun nodded with a smile, "Well, keep it secret." ”

Gu Qingqiu noticed the small movements between the two of them, "What are you whispering?" ”

Lord Yun proudly sent her two words, "Secret." ”

At this time, Lord Zhi brought up the topic of listening to stories again.

Qing Shu looked embarrassed. What if when she talks about the tension in the storyline, they show something strange and attract more people's attention? It doesn't matter if the story of "Chen Xiang Saves Mother" circulates in their Kangxi Town and in their own house. But if it spreads to the capital and lets too many people hear it, it won't be good. She tried her best to avoid revealing her identity as a traverser. As fellow traversers, they may not get along with each other, and they may not necessarily become enemies. An eldest princess, a Wu Mulan, and a Zhou Su have already explained everything.

However, there is no need for Qingshu to worry about this problem, the county lord of Yun actually made eye contact with the county lord of Zhi. Qing Shu was caught between them, confused. After a short time, the county lord of Yun and the county lord of Zhi grabbed Qing Shu's arm left and right, and took Qing Shu away from the banquet room under the pretext of going to the toilet. The three of them walked through a beautiful verandah, and after receiving the salutes of at least a dozen maids, they entered a richly furnished room at the end.

Two quarters of an hour later, the three of them came out of the room and walked slowly towards the banquet room. Qing Shu's face was smiling, but the county lord of Zhi was angry, and the county lord Yun frowned for a while and laughed for a while.

Princess Jingyang stood heroically on the road ahead of them, looking at her two nieces with a look of condemnation, "Zhi'er, Yun'er, what are your intentions in robbing Miss Gu?" I don't even say hello, everyone is looking for you everywhere, and my skin is itchy, right? ”

Robbery, such a serious word. Qing Shu was silent, not daring to speak.

The county lord of Zhi and the county lord of Yun stepped forward, and the aunt and the princess were coquettish for a while. Princess Jingyang couldn't help laughing, and like the elders of ordinary people, she actually poked the heads of the two county lords one by one, preached a few more words, and asked the two county lords to get out of the way with a look of disgust.

Seeing that their matter was resolved, Qing Shu hurriedly gave Princess Jingyang a standard women's salute, "Qing Shu has seen the princess." "When they were in the banquet hall, Princess Jingyang was busy with other things and was not there, so Qingshu couldn't see the ceremony in time.

"No courtesy." Princess Jingyang said, stepped forward in two steps, and took Qingshu's hand affectionately, "Go with your aunt, the banquet is about to start, just waiting for you." ”

Qing Shu was shocked. Princess Jingyang actually called herself aunt to her, what is the situation! The Queen Mother didn't like her, she felt it. Princess Jingyang was born to the Queen Mother, why did she show such affection for her, and specially advanced a whole fish banquet for her? Although everything before the banquet looked smooth and the various county lords were very friendly, the poetry of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion left a deep impression on her. She always felt as if something was going to happen.

Her hunch was right, today was no ordinary day for her. Today, she has stumbled upon several secrets. There are five brothers, and there are ......
