Chapter 147: It's Better to Stay Away from Me!
The edict handed down by the Queen Mother made it clear that the children of the princes and ministers from all walks of life came to the Lantern Banquet, so the people who came consciously corresponded to their identities, all of them were the daughters who had already married and had not talked about marriage, as well as those sons and daughters who had no marriage contracts, so as to live up to the beauty behind the Lantern Festival.
Although Cangyun has reached the crown and has not heard of a marriage contract, he is not the prince and minister of Nanzhao?
Although he temporarily became Nangong Rui's staff, in the end it was just a cooperative relationship, not a monarch and a minister, so he had no other part in accordance with the rules - but he actually appeared, which surprised Qin Fang.
However, after Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, she also understood that this should be the arrangement of the Queen Mother.
After all, she and Cang Yun have a lot of reputation because of the previous situation, so the Queen Mother should want the emperor to understand that there are some grasses that can't be eaten back, not to mention, Qin Fang also knows in her heart that the princess has already been tempted by Cangyun, thinking that the Queen Mother will bother to contribute to her daughter, so Cang Yun is expected.
Thinking of this, Qin Fang smiled lightly and continued to draw and write on the table, listening to the excited or excited snickering and words of the young ladies around him, but he knew in his heart that he wanted to get by in a low-key manner tonight, I am afraid it would be a little difficult - who let someone pull out a false affection with him?
'Sister county lord, what are you playing so much about, Gongzi Cang is here, don't you care? Hou Zijiao saw Cang Yun sitting down surrounded by a group of people, so she leaned in front of Qin Fang, pretending to be intimate, but when she saw this person on the table with a picture of wine that she couldn't understand, she asked curiously.
It's just a little game. Qin Fang whispered softly, too lazy to explain to her. She plays Sudoku - a little game that she always plays to pass the time.
'Oh. Hou Zichu saw that Qin Fang didn't explain. Answered, and went to look at Cangyun on the other side. Qin Fang glanced at her, chuckled, and didn't make a sound.
"The princess has arrived!" Qin Fang played for less than a moment, and a eunuch sang loudly, and everyone got up to greet each other.
Although Qin Fang was the lord of the county, he was inferior and couldn't sit, so he saluted with the large army. But I saw that Nangong Yingyu was dressed up very youthful and gorgeous today: a peach-pink skirt, a goose-yellow spring shirt, and a light gauze feather hat on her head, which not only covered her embarrassing wounds, but also showed a touch of exoticism, which made her emaciated face even more beautiful/glamorous.
"Sisters and sisters, please excuse me!" Nangong Yingyu supported the maid beside her, her steps were slow and soft like a dancer's steps, she set up stubble with everyone with a smile on her face, asked in the east, and praised in the west. In short, except for Qin Fang, the other daughters. They were all taken care of by her one by one.
Such an obvious gap completely confirmed Qin Fang's expectations, but she didn't care at all, she just stood there, staring at the table, still focusing on her own Sudoku, thinking about what numbers to put in it.
The princess sat down after asking each other in a circle, she was the first, after she sat down, everyone sat down, at this time, the sons and brothers on the opposite side also saluted this side, Nangong Yingyu smiled and swept the people on the opposite side one by one, and then looked excitedly at the white figure on the opposite side with a delicate face: "Is the young man actually among them?" This, but is Hongu dazzled? ‘
The princess took the roll call, and Cang Yun replied to herself: "The princess is not dazzled, it was the Queen Mother who invited Cang to come and see Nanzhao's Lantern Festival, so Cang was just present." ‘
'Gongzi Cang is polite, you are a talented person, and you are famous in the Seven Kingdoms, if you are just attending today, how dare the mourning family invite you to come? Suddenly, a laughing sound sounded from the inner room behind the water pavilion, and immediately everyone panicked and got up to salute again, and saw the queen mother holding Yan Gonggong's arm, slowly coming out of the inner room, and then standing in the middle of the water pavilion with all directions.
After everyone bowed, the Queen Mother said that she would be exempt, and then sat down, and smiled at that Cangyun: "Young Master Cang, you are a wise person, how can this person who knows the customs of a place be the fastest and most accurate?" ‘
The fan that Cangyun closed turned slightly in his hand: "Only when you are integrated into it can you feel the wonderfulness." ‘
"Yes, so the mourning family invites you to come to see my Nanzhao's Lantern Festival, and I want to invite you to be in it!" Sheng Lanzhu said, swept the princes and daughters on both sides of the water pavilion, and then said: "The people who can come here for today's banquet are all well-behaved and talented people, why don't you be the chief judge, and you will be the judge for a while, so that before the emperor arrives, you can pass the time and find some fun, what do you think?" ‘
'The Queen Mother's good intentions, Cang didn't dare to resign, but this main judgment can't be deserved, or the Queen Mother, it's appropriate for you to come. ”
"The person who comes is a guest, so Gongzi Cang doesn't have to pass the buck politely." Sheng Lanzhu said and waved her hand, and two palace maids held the tray into the water pavilion, but saw that in the two trays, there were three items on display, one was a silk painting, a seal, and a pen inkstone; One is a necklace, an arm, and a bead chain.
"This is the mourning family to prepare haode rewards, all of which are selected from the palace offerings to other countries, and the prince of Cang is judged today, so he will help the mourning family find these rewards!" Sheng Lanzhu said and waved her hand, and the two palace maids were divided left and right, walked past the table in turn, and showed the items in their hands to everyone.
As a woman's side, it is natural to look at the three pieces of jewelry, when the palace maid slowly passed by this side with a tray, many daughters still couldn't help but let out a surprised gasping sound, which provoked Qin Fang to glance at it: As for it? It's all everyone's best, but it's just a few pieces of jewelry.
"The Queen Mother is so generous!" At this time, Hou Zijiao, who was beside Qin Fang, whispered to herself: "The coral arm of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, the glass pendant of Dongshuo, and the Xuanjin bead chain of Beiwu, even if this one is not priceless, it is also a valuable thing!" ”
The Hou family is in business, and they know the goods, Qin Fang heard Hou Zijiao's words, raised her eyebrows, and then frowned slightly.
The more precious these things are, the more it shows that the Queen Mother wants to get more at this lantern feast, otherwise how could she make such a big investment?
She secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw Sheng Lanzhu's smile at Nangong Yingyu, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
Hey, man. They are all in pursuit of fame and fortune. Now the Queen Mother has moved out of fame and fortune. It seems that this lantern feast is not just a matter of having a meal!
With the prize prepared by the Queen Mother, everyone is naturally excited, the girl's family may be somewhat reserved and can suppress the yearning in her heart, and the performance is not so strong, but the voice raised from time to time on the opposite side is enough to prove that those three things are also valuable things, which attracted those sons and brothers to also get ready to fight.
The excitement is there. Cangyun was a guest and followed the host to accept the invitation of the Queen Mother, and there were only a few words at the beginning, and the meaning of the words was nothing more than to let him have a good look at it or something.
Immediately, someone on the boy's side rushed to the inkstone, and asked someone to prepare a silk calligraphy pen and ink, and waved the pen at the moment to show his good hand.
As soon as there were two or three applause, some people were unconvinced and said that they were ugly and competed with them. came and went, and there were actually three or five sons and brothers who showed their skills in calligraphy and painting.
"Why didn't my brother make a move?" Hou Zijiao muttered to herself again. Qin Fang, who had just finished solving his Sudoku problem, listened to her words, and looked at Hou Zichu opposite, but seeing that he was not in a hurry and was not impatient to sit there cheering for others without any intention of competition, he smiled and whispered to Hou Zijiao: "Maybe he wants to compare with others later?" ”
Counting is counting chips, but there is no abacus at this time, so naturally there will be no possibility of an abacus competition.
"How is that possible? These sons and sons have a few calculations. Hou Zijiao immediately disdained her words, and then smiled at Qin Fang: "My brother's handwriting is very haode, if my brother doesn't show his hand today, my brother and I will ask for one to give to the county lord's sister?" ”
Qin Fang looked at Hou Zijiao with a half-smile and blinked: "What benefits did your brother promise you to let you get close to me so much of your conscience?" ”
She is not stupid, Hou Zijiao's closeness to herself is nothing more than because of Cangyun, and because of the unhappiness between her and Hou Zijiao before, this girl will never come to help her brother soak her kindness, but now that she is selling it in front of her, there is naturally a problem.
Hou Zijiao was stunned when she heard this, and smiled stupidly: "Why did my sister say it so unkindly." ”
Qin Fang glanced at her, lowered her head and played with her nails.
There was silence between the two for a while, and after a while, under the evaluation of Cangyun, this round also selected a person who wrote very haode and got the inkstone.
Just when everyone was appreciating it, Hou Zijiao suddenly leaned into Qin Fang's ear and opened her mouth.
"He is my brother, and even if I don't want to, I can't go against his will, let alone ...... My sister is in such a situation, don't you really want to keep yourself away from right and wrong? ”
"Right and wrong......" Qin Fang immediately smiled: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are right and wrong, unless I am the only one in this world, otherwise, I am afraid that only by dying can I stay away from right and wrong." ”
"Sister means ......"
"If you really love your brother, go back and talk to your brother, everyone is good to be friends, and if you have one more point, the gain will outweigh the loss." Qin Fang said and continued to play with her nails, while Hou Zijiao looked at Qin Fang and pursed her lower lip: "Sister, doesn't she look down on my brother?" ”
Qin Fang rolled her eyes and gave Hou Zijiao: "I didn't mean that, on the contrary, I wanted him to understand that if he really wants to stay away from right and wrong, stay away from me, it's better!" ”
Just kidding, she is the enemy of the Queen Mother, and now she has an affair with Cangyun, so it's no wonder that her life can stop.
Probably to confirm her words, as soon as the round of the sons and daughters ended, the daughters and ladies started to move, and immediately someone also learned that the other party wanted to show their pen power, Qin Fang glanced at it, and couldn't recognize the person's origin, so she simply ignored it, sat there playing with her nails, and didn't participate at all, and even when the haode silk book was passed over, she didn't take a look, lest she judge anything and be attacked by the group.
It's just that sometimes, you want to keep a low profile, but others won't give you a chance, seeing that Qin Fang didn't participate, Nangong Yingyu grabbed a noble girl next to her, and the daughter immediately spoke: "Why does Lord Huijun ignore it?" Could it be that you don't disdain to comment on this word, Lord Hui? ”
"There's no disdain, it's just that I've never paid attention to this, so I can't comment." Qin Fang replied very modestly, she just wanted to deal with this dinner party as low-key as possible, so she didn't have the heart to fight with these people boringly.
For this answer, the woman seemed to be very satisfied, smiled at the moment, and talked to her, Qin Fang saw this and continued to bow her head and play with her nails, but unexpectedly, someone's voice came from her ears: "Isn't it?" Lord Huijun, you have been taught by the crown princess, if you are incapable in the handwriting, wouldn't it be that those celebrities in Nanzhao are too useless? (To be continued......)
