Chapter 228: Lotus Lantern

While he was talking, the servants came to deliver the message, and everyone tidied up their clothes and moved into the hall.

Su Jin is low-key, doesn't like publicity, and there are not many people to invite, except for the Mu family and a few big families who have to be invited, the others are a few colleagues and friends.

There were four tables in the hall, and Mu Shaotang was the old man and the head of the big family in Nancang County, so he naturally sat in the middle of the main seat. Mu Jincheng saw that he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and he didn't want to come to him at all, so he chose a secluded seat from a distance and sat down, Wang Laoba, Liu Twelve and others shared a table with him.

Wang Laoba likes vassal elegance the most, he is eager to know that it is the woman of the He family who plays the music, therefore, at the banquet, the wine is also drunk urgently, the food is also eaten quickly, and after a while, he holds his stomach and burps, but the main table is still talking with the guest and the host, and they are staggered, they are juniors, and they cannot leave the table in advance according to the rules, so they have to drink slowly.

Mu Jincheng quipped: "What are the monkeys anxious about, choking you to death!" ”

Wang Laoba drank the wine as a buffalo: "Hey, I don't believe you don't want to know!" ”

"It's definitely not my daughter-in-law, I don't know what it means?" Mu Jincheng shook his head disappreciatively.

Qian Yi took a piece of waist flower and stuffed it into his mouth: "I said that you married a woman, or served Guanyin Bodhisattva, so that you, who were originally not afraid of heaven and earth, were like being brought to a golden hoop, and now you have changed sex or what, I have sent posts several times to ask you to come to Wanhualou to play, you have fulfilled my appointment, what, your woman is better in bed than the girl I trained?" Be sure to show me next time! ”

Mu Jincheng smiled and spat on the ground: "Phew, die your Wanhualou quickly!" ”

Qian Yi sighed: "I'm really enchanted, I think it's true that you are a wife slave!" ”

was making a fuss, Wang Laoba glanced at the noodles on the main table, obviously the banquet was almost over, and several people waited for their own noodles to come up, each ate a little, and then followed the elders out of the door.

Su Duchun accompanied his father to see off the guests, Mu Jincheng didn't want to go with his father and brother, and deliberately rubbed in the back, Wang Laoba and Liu Twelve were worried about the person who played the game and wanted to stay and inquire, only Qian Yi left in a hurry.

Su Jin sent off the guest, and then went in to greet other things, only Su Duchun and others were left at the door, and after a while, Qian Man came out alone with a straight face.

When Wang Laoba saw it, he immediately greeted him and said politely: "Miss Qian, do you want me to send you back?" ”

"Where's my second brother?" Qian Man glanced at his round body and asked.

"Brother Ling left just now, if we weren't curious about who blew the song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" before, we would also leave." Wang Laoba said with a grin.

"Heh, you're waiting here for this!" Qian Man's face was gloomy, like the sky in the coming rainstorm.

Wang Laoba is not a person who can read words and feelings, he continued: "You know? Come and hear it! ”

"Of course I do." Qian Man saw Mu Jincheng behind them, rolled his eyes and said: "This person is amazing, he saved the golden branches and jade leaves as soon as he made a move, and he blew out the world's best sound as soon as he spit out!" ”

"You...... Are you talking about Jincheng's daughter-in-law? The flesh on Wang Laoba's face originally squeezed his eyes small, but now he opened his eyes so hard that his eyeballs almost fell out.

This news is so exciting that Mu Jincheng didn't believe it for the first time: "Qian Man, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Qian Man rolled his eyes and said: "A song attracts hundreds of birds to come to the court, this is obviously a good reputation, I am full of food, I want to say something good for her?" ”

Su Duchun's heart flickered up and down, and he tried his best to suppress his face and asked, "What did she blow it with?" ”

"Two bamboo leaves." If it was in the past, Qian Man didn't believe that two bamboo leaves could play music, but Gu Qingzhu really only used two bamboo leaves.

"Huh?" Wang Laoba was so shocked that the flesh on his face trembled.

Qian Man was also confused when he saw Mu Jincheng, and smiled weirdly: "It seems that she is hiding deep enough, even Mu Sanye doesn't know, do you know why she is blowing here?" ”

"Why?" Liu Twelve couldn't wait to ask.

"Because she asked to make a bet with me, and the bet was ......" Qian Man deliberately dragged out his voice, but there was no follow-up.

Wang Laoba seemed to be more anxious than Mu Jincheng, and urged: "What the hell? ”

"The bet is her marriage with the third master!" Qian Man snorted coldly.

Although her voice was soft, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Mu Jincheng felt that all her internal organs were grabbed, and she was in cold sweat.

Seeing Mu Jincheng's pale face, Su Duchun took a step back almost invisibly, twisted his arm, and said loudly: "Miss Qian San, you made this bet, so you lost, you lost very badly." ”

"What if I said it, if she dares to agree to bet on this, it proves that she doesn't have a lot of sincerity towards you!" Qian Man ignored Su Wanchun, but locked Mu Jincheng with burning eyes, and punished him every word.

"She has this confidence to win you, so why bother with what to bet!" Mu Jincheng cheered up and said with a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, you can do it yourself, don't be empty when the bamboo basket is empty, don't say I didn't remind you!" Qian Man flicked his sleeves in annoyance, and didn't want anyone to send it, so Nana went down the steps and went by herself.

"Oh, I'm still a fairy sister, but it's Jincheng's daughter-in-law, that's it, it's okay, go back." Wang Laoba bowed his hand and took his leave. Liu Twelve also followed.

"Uncle Xiaoniang, are you okay?" Su Duchun asked worriedly.

Mu Jincheng shook his head, rubbed his face and said, "I'm fine, it's almost February, why is this ghost weather still so cold." ”

was talking, but saw Xiong Yongnian getting down from the carriage with his robe, and saw Mu Jincheng waving anxiously from a distance.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jincheng said with some surprise.

"Third master, where is the old lady, the young lady?" Xiong Yongnian said in one breath.

Mu Jincheng looked inside: "They may still be looking at Xiao Niuniu, there is something in our house?" ”

"The reward of Yan'an City has come down, and the person who came is drinking tea in the mansion, and the master sent me to pick up the person." Xiong Yongnian said in a low voice.

"This is a great thing, I'll tell the girls to go in and come back." When Su Duchun heard this, he was very happy, and hurriedly turned around and went in.

Mu Jincheng was a little uneasy and said, "Who gave the reward?" ”

Xiong Yongnian shook his head: "I don't know, a team of more than a dozen people came, just looking at the clothes and horses of those people are very magnificent." ”

The two stood for a while, and the three generations of the Mu family's daughters came out, each took the carriage that came from before, and hurried back to the house.

In the hall of the Mujia East Mansion, Mu Shaotang and Mu Shaoting both sat with them at the bottom, and there was a white-faced and beardless man sitting at the top, wearing a luxurious silk brocade robe, and he couldn't tell how old he was.

"Our family obeyed the emperor's will, and traveled thousands of miles to get to you, I and General Mu are old acquaintances, but I don't know that the Mu family is a tea maker, the tea is good, and the skills of cooking tea are also very good." The man cocked his orchid fingers, picked up the tea, and took a sip, his tone was sharp, like a chicken choked by someone's neck.

Mu Shaotai was silent.

Mu Shaotang said respectfully: "Wan Gonggong praised, it's rare that you like coarse tea in the countryside, I'll send you some to take back to taste, and when it's spring, I'll send someone a new lotus heart tea cake." ”

"Our family is serving in front of the emperor, and I am fortunate to have drunk some good tea, and you are not worse than those tribute teas." Wan Quan tasted it carefully, and said slowly.

Mu Shaotang's heart turned over the river, and he still said humbly on his face: "Mujia tea has been inherited for a hundred years, and I don't dare to expect to be able to make tribute tea." ”

"If you don't fight, how do you know that you can't make tribute tea?" Wan Quan's eyelids lifted slightly, and his eyes glanced at him.

"Yes, yes, what Gonggong Wan taught me." Mu Shaotang's palms were full of sweat.

But his words strengthened one of his long-standing thoughts, this idea was like a seed, hidden in his heart for many years, since Gu Qingzhu saved Nangong Yu, that seed began to absorb water and swell~ Bigger, at this time, it finally broke through the layer of skin that wrapped it, and the sprouts were about to break out of the ground!

There was a commotion outside, and when the Kou family came back with their children, Mu Shaotai got up and took the old mother in.

"Who is the Mu Gu clan?" Wan Quan asked the three women who came in.

"The women of the people are." Gu Qingzhu stepped forward and saluted.

Wan Quan's eyes were full of inquiry, and he looked at her from head to toe, and then said: "Since everyone has arrived, our family will read the emperor's will." ”

Mu Shaotang led the kneeling, and everyone knelt behind him in turn.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Mu Gu is not afraid of the fire, bravely save Princess Anping, his feelings are commendable, his heart can be expressed, a box of gold and silver, a pearl in the South China Sea, and a mountain forest of 10,000 acres in Nancang County." Wan Quan unfolded the yellow axis of the holy decree and read it in a low tone.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" The Mu family kowtowed in unison.

When the family stood up, Wan Quan said: "This is the emperor's reward for thanking the Mu Gu clan for saving the ninth princess, I came today, and the seventh prince also asked me to bring a pair of lotus lanterns that you asked for that day." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a small chamberlain brought a red lacquered tray covered with a piece of yellow silk.

Wan Quan raised his hand to uncover it, revealing a pair of lotus lanterns inside.

When everyone saw it, they were immediately stunned, that is, Mu Shaotang, who had seen a lot of strange treasures in the Sansheng Treasure Shop, couldn't take their eyes off the pair of lotus lanterns when they saw them, because those two lamps were simply so beautiful!

The lotus lamp is no more than a foot high, it looks small and exquisite, the three layers of lotus petals are all made of gold sheets, the stamens inside are made of a cluster of gold wires, and the small lotus root is carved out of a whole piece of green jade, which is embedded with eight red gold beads from the East China Sea, which is placed in the house at night, brighter than the lamp and candle.

Mu Shaotang hurriedly took his family to thank him.

Wan Quan waved his hand, and the little chamberlain handed the tray to Gu Qingzhu.

The women all withdrew, and Mu Shaotang diligently kept Wanquan, but he quickly left with people under the pretext that he wanted to hurry back to recover his life.

Gu Qingzhu was dizzy, holding the two lamps, as if they were heavy, she followed behind the Lu family and entered the Songzhi Courtyard.

"I'll see you again for the first time with such a delicate lamp." Kou Shi took a closer look and sighed.

Gu Qingzhu hurriedly defended: "Because my grandmother said that we were going to hang lotus lanterns sent by others in our house, I won by guessing the riddle, but unfortunately I was trampled on later, so I wanted a lantern at the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Show, who would have thought that the Seventh Prince would send such a precious pair." ”

"A royal gift, how can you give a paper paste, where is the face?" Lu Shi looked at Gu Qingzhu helplessly, this uninformed daughter-in-law is really a headache.

Gu Qingzhu asked with a bitter face: "Grandmother, mother, what can I do about this?" ”

Kou squinted with a smile: "Silly girl, since you asked for it, it will naturally be hung in your house, so as to live up to the good omen of a noble son." ”

"Huh?" Gu Qingzhu was stunned.

If she had known that this was the meaning, she would not have asked others for it if she was killed, let alone with a prince, and this joke would have gone to the imperial city.

Song Yunxiang looked at the two lamps and Gu Qingzhu's ignorant face, and felt angry and hateful in her heart, today, this countryman is really out of the limelight, first using bamboo leaves to attract hundreds of birds to congratulate, and then getting thousands of taels of gold and silver 10,000 acres of mountains and forests, and such exquisite lanterns, but she can still pretend not to know, it is simply an ancient version of mortal learning, disgusting!
