Chapter 260: Scolding

"The servant was young when she entered Hefu, and she couldn't remember what her original surname was!" , He Xian, who replied, spoke softly, and her half-drooping eyelashes were quiet and supple without any abnormality.

"Well, I knew a girl when I was a kid who happened to have the same name as you." Man Yun regretfully raised his handkerchief to cover his lips and coughed lightly, and then opened another account book with a smile as usual.

The two beauties who sat and stood still whispered in the hall, and a guard who rushed to deliver the message stood respectfully outside the hall door......

It so happened that if it weren't for the fact that she had a relationship in Fengjin Puji Temple back then, and Lou Qiaoying who I saw at first glance at that time impressed me, I probably wouldn't have remembered the name of her sister Lou Xianying by the way.

Seeing He Xianying's graceful figure curling away, bowing his head and taking a sip of tea, Zhou Manyun was clear at this moment. She was sure that her unbridled suspicion was not illusory, and when she said Lou Xianying's name, the woman next to her had a sudden heartbeat and a slight pupil, but she couldn't hide her deliberate eyes.

What's more, the Lou sisters already look five or six percent similar when they study it carefully, but the difference is that the elder sister's cheekbones are slightly higher and she looks beautiful and proud, while the younger sister's face is much calmer. The subtle similarities and differences in the appearance of beautiful women, many times only women can see more clearly, and men who claim to love beauty are actually blind. In their previous lives, the two sisters had one surname Lou and the other surname He, and they actually got mixed up.

After taking the right seat, there was a period of annoyance, so that Man Yun no longer had the heart to take care of trivial chores, so he simply followed the other maid who came to report the incident and directly said that he was sleepy, and turned back to the bedroom with his steps.

A pale pink handkerchief covered his face, Man Yun closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a rich sarcastic smile......

In their previous lives, Zhou Manyun and He Xian were nameless concubines trapped in the backyard of the two Xiao brothers, who did not know each other and had no intersection. But she once "visited" Lou Qiaoying.

"Lou Qiaoying. He should be twenty-five years old this year. Eight years ago, the plum blossoms became famous in Luojing, the eyes were above the top, and the eldest daughter was unmarried. It wasn't until she was twenty years old that she was hand-picked into the palace as a talented woman and served as the director of the Shangyi Bureau. Then, Jing Guogong helped the eldest son of King Qi to ascend the throne, and let the older female officials and palace maids in the palace match the soldiers. Lou Qiaoying, who did not accept Emperor Entaiye, left the palace. became Jing Guogong's new concubine, Xiao Hong's mother. ”

In the third year of Yining, it was later changed back by the historian in March of the 14th year of Taiye, two months before Xiao Ze was strangled to death by He Xianying. The prince of Jingguo accused the concubine Lou of disrespecting the master's mother and disturbing the mansion, angrily drew his sword to kill him, and beheaded him in the banquet.

The rebellion of sisters dividing into father and son cannot be recognized, the revenge of killing the sister is the enemy, and the madness of burying everyone who is in a desperate situation together......

"Manyun!". In a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling in his ear, Zhou Manyun, who was originally lying on the couch, jumped up, fell to the ground, and a pair of red eyes stared at him with anger and fear.

"Manyun!" , Xiao Hong painfully hugged his wife, who was full of cold sweat, in his arms, and whispered: "You can sleep for a nap!" In fact, there are many things that you can let go of and let them do it, so why do it yourself. ”

"If the priest will be angry, he will ambush the two corpses. Five steps to bleed, the world is ......". Man Yun's hands tightly grasped the placket of her husband's clothes, and asked anxiously: "Although the world favors sons over women, if a woman is determined to take revenge, her actions are no different from those of a man, right?" ”

"That's right! I don't dare to underestimate women, don't you even dare to ...... emperor." Suddenly realizing that the past events that were about to be mentioned might be the source of his wife's nightmares, Xiao Hong stroked her back and whispered relief: "The past has passed, everything. Whose life you want in the future, let me take it. You can just hide behind me. ”

Perhaps it was because he had experienced the struggle of revenge that he easily sank into the dream, replacing himself into the woman with the red lotus karmic fire burning in her heart, and stretched out her hands vigorously towards the enemy who had been virtualized in the dream.

"Xiao Hong, I don't want to kill people anymore......", lying quietly in her husband's arms, Zhou Manyun's pale face slowly returned a trace of blood, and her lips murmured softly.

She originally planned to simply hand over Lou Xianying's identity to Xiao Ze, but now, Man Yun wanted to wait a little longer and give Lou Xianying another chance.

"Xiao Hong! When my father enters the city, he will have to clean up the palace, and when the time comes, I will invite a few over-aged female historians from the palace to help with affairs, okay? ”

"If we can really start rectifying the inner palace, it should be just a trivial matter to get a few people out." , Xiao Hong's face showed an embarrassed pale red, his wife's eyes shone when she made the request, and she seemed to be full of confidence in him, but he was a little bottomless, "It's just that we haven't found that Jian Huai yet." The eldest brother said that although he said hello to several big eunuchs in the palace, as long as Jian Huai was not found for a day, everything in the inner palace could not be moved, even if his father came, it would be the same......"

"Sometimes you have to talk about chance, and at this time, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it will take no effort to come one day." , Zhou Manyun, who got rid of the nightmare, raised his water chestnut mouth, hugged Xiao Hong's neck, and comforted him.

"Lend you good words!" , smiled and leaned to his wife's lips to steal incense quietly, and Xiao Hong, who was originally frowning lightly, also had a smile on his face.

Although he was confused in his previous life, Jian Huai, who is now unfoundable in Luojing City, still has an impression in Man Yun's memory. Of course, I haven't seen him, but in the first year of the Xi Yuan Dynasty at the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, the most famous protagonist of the joke "White Clothes" is Jian Huai.

It is estimated that a lot of ingredients have been added to the story of the gods, but anyway, the result is that the enlightened Jian Huai has lost his way and returned to the true destiny. For such a character with a perfect ending, Zhou Manyun does not think that he is more worthy of attention than He Xianying, who is amazingly destructive. It's just that the Xiao family brothers are looking for someone like a great enemy, and she is just nervous on the side.

Although it was more than four months in advance, it was still like the story of the previous life was arranged according to the established plot, on the fifth day of the second month, Jian Huai was still missing, and Xiao Rui, the prince of Jingguo, had already led his troops into the city.

As soon as he stepped into the city gate, Jing Guogong waved his hand heroically, refused the reception of the princes and nobles and officials of Luojing City, but warmly invited the officials in the city and the powerful people from all over the country who accompanied him into Beijing to the Jingguo Mansion for a banquet.

He, Xiao Rui, did not enter the imperial city with a bun, but "returned" to Luojing, and returned to the place where he was supposed to be born and raised.

The hospitality hall of the Jingguo Mansion, which has not been used for about twenty years, has reopened its doors. The lights are bright and the sky never sleeps.

According to the rules of Beijing in recent years, the banquet of Jingguo Mansion is not particular, in order to accommodate more people, the upper and lower dignity are divided into cases, and the banquet is arranged to sit and eat, and the banquet is similar to that of Hu people. It's like a military meal. But the people who were able to enter the gate, even if they were picky, pressed their temperament, and praised the arrangement of the government mansion for its simple atmosphere and following the ancient etiquette.

Drinking wine and eating meat at the banquet is the business of the men, and the serving banquet noodles are also handed over to the soldiers in the army, so that they can confirm that the wine and food on the table are poisonous and immortal with the help of Amethyst, Lu Shou and others, and they can retire successfully.

Forked hands looked at Zhou Manyun, who was busy in the back kitchen, frowned and yawned, and began to worry that if Xiao Hong climbed onto the couch in the middle of the night, he would get up and help him serve the decanting soup or kick it away.

"Six grandmothers! Grandpa Guo is invited! ”

A small group of soldiers rushed suddenly. Man Yun swallowed the cold night wind in amazement, and burped violently in his throat.

At the first banquet in Beijing, there were no female guests invited at all, and looking at this direction, I wanted to go directly to the main hall, and the main hall was full of old men with high ranks! Man Yun looked down at the egg-blue narrow-sleeved mustache skirt he wore for the convenience of the steward, and he felt like he was being attacked by surprise and vomiting blood.

There are no beauties and no drum music at the banquet, in order to show respect for the host's family. The spirit of the guests listening carefully to the movements of the main position was extremely concentrated. So much so that as soon as Zhou Manyun stepped on the corridor of the main hall, he heard the voice of Xiao Rui, the prince of Jingguo, mercilessly ridiculing his husband.

"Among my father's sons, Xiaoliu is the most stubborn, and he has been holding and fighting backwards since he was a child. The sub-skin is stronger than other brothers. Look at people and dogs! Xiao Rui scolded loudly, and when he pointed to Xiao Hong, who was kneeling under the seat, he deliberately shook his head regretfully at He Kun, who was sitting on his left hand between the two cases, "Alas, it's a pity that his eyes look big and spirited." In fact, he is a ...... with eyes and no beads."

"Daughter-in-law Zhou visits her father!" , couldn't bear to let her husband be counted down again, Zhou Manyun simply didn't wait for the transmission, lifted her skirt and took two steps quickly, and knelt down next to Xiao Hong with a plop.

Xiao Rui's loud noise came to an abrupt end. A pair of cold pupils stared at Zhou Manyun who interrupted him.

"Father's ......"

"Father called his daughter-in-law to toast the elders, right?" , Man Yun's mouth snatched a point faster, stopped Xiao Hong's self-blame that he was eager to ask for her guilt, and scratched the little finger that reached out to Xiao Hong's hand slightly.

"Xiao Hong was in a hurry to marry his wife, and he didn't have time to pass through his father and uncles, so today he took the Zhou family to ask for guilt."

The husband and wife really had a tacit understanding, and Xiao Hong followed the speed of changing the wind faster than he thought.

Zhou Manyun raised her face and looked at her husband who straightened up and took the initiative to take two steps towards Xiao Rui's knees, as well as the wine jug that Xiao Ze handed to Xiao Hong as if he had practiced it beforehand, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The young woman kneeling in the hall was dressed in a simple green dress, but the more simple and plain the clothes, the more she set off her beautiful and delicate face, her hair was like night, her eyes were like stars, and her white and translucent skin was like snow on the snow. But from the moment you enter the door, what attracts people's attention is the courage and brute force.

"My father's wine bottle is still vacuum! Xiao Hong, you bring her over and help Daddy fill it up! Xiao Rui raised the copper bottle in his hand to his mouth and drank it all, and then turned his wrist but threw the bottle on the case with a bang, and his thick eyebrows were tightened.

Jing Guogong is angry! The banquet hall, which was already very quiet, was even more solemn, and everyone held their breath.

It's good to be able to get up. Zhou Manyun grabbed Xiao Hong's arm and stretched out to hold her, smiled sweetly, and stuck to her husband's side. The already beautiful face is more like a spring flower.

Xiao Hong cautiously took his wife to his father's side of the case, and just reached out to help up the wine bottle, but under Xiao Rui's gaze, he let go of his fingers, turned sideways, and nodded to Man Yun.

"I'm not afraid!" , Man Yun's eyes hooked the moon and silently thanked her husband for daring to appease her father-in-law's hint under his nose, straightened the wine bottle with both hands, and then let go of his right hand and took the silver wine bottle in Xiao Hong's hand.

The elbow tilted, the pot slanted, and a crimson rainbow leaked out from the silver spout, and the arc fell smoothly and straight into the heart of the bottle. The wine in the copper bottle seems to float higher and higher, and will reach the plane that is overflowing, the beautiful wine rainbow disappears, and the last drop of wine beads jumps into the air, and falls again, the light is slightly rippling, but it does not splash out at all.

"Good!" , There were idiots at the banquet, who got up with a full mouth of beard and shouted, and hurriedly sat down when he remembered the occasion, but bit his tongue again, so he had to bow his head and endure it.

"Invite my father to drink!" , Zhou Manyun, who bowed down to the wine bottle, lifted the wine bottle smoothly above her head, and Xiao Hong, who was working with his wife, also knelt beside her honestly.

Although he respectfully didn't raise his eyes to peek, the feeling of the wine bottle in his hand being snatched away and the sound of Xiao Rui pouring wine on his head made Man Yun clear and couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart.

"What did you say you little bunny did?" , Xiao Rui, who drank and smashed the glass again, did not sit down, but raised his military boots and kicked Xiao Hong's body firmly, his voice was louder, and the scolding was louder, "Who in the world doesn't marry a daughter-in-law?" You monkey is in a hurry, so that Lao Tzu and your mother don't even have a cup of daughter-in-law tea to drink! Marrying a wife? Obviously, you can go to Luojing City to make the marriage beautiful, but it makes Lao Tzu embarrassed! ”

"And you!" , The heavy black boots stopped in front of Zhou Manyun, Xiao Rui raised his foot and stomped on the ground fiercely, "Zhou, you are also an unconscious thing!" Lao Tzu has always treated you well, right? Just because your grandfather is the old department of the old Jingguo Gong, and you are also a small and big boy with this stinky boy, you are only ten years old, and my father hired you for his son, and you have the number of courtesies, right......"

"Yes! My father taught me a lot! Zhou Manyun honestly lowered his head, and while humbly listening to the scolding, he was secretly worried about Xiao Hong's real kick.

"But how do you and your family repay Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu just wrote to your family here saying that he would postpone the marriage, and your family sent you to Xiakou over there! What is the son you have worked so hard to raise by your father-in-law? If you can catch it, it's yours? It's really ......", Jing Guogong, who was scolding and pacing angrily, slammed and kicked a few more cases, and rushed to Xiao Hong in annoyance, looking like he was going to kick people to death.

A slightly chubby middle-aged man who stood up with the sound of kicking the case just now at the head of the right hand was busy shouting "brother-in-law", so he directly put his hand around Jing Guogong's arm. There are more and more kind-hearted people who have surrounded Xiao Rui to persuade his son to forgive his son, and even He Kun and others, who originally wanted to stay out of the matter, also came over with a smile.

"Little Liu! Take your daughter-in-law to toast a glass of wine to the elders, and you two will go back first! Seeing that his brother-in-law had been persuaded by everyone to sit aside in annoyance, his uncle Xu Ming Xu Shida, who was the first to come out to play the round, helped up the young couple who were still kneeling with a Buddha smile on his face.

"A cup? Give that little bunny cub three jars! Let him sincerely make amends! Jing Guogong, who was listening to some words, slapped his generous big hand on a few cases again. (To be continued......)
