Twenty-one, the beginning of the matter - to the banquet (middle)

Listen to Yuxuan.

Shui Zhu'er leaned on the railing in his room, looked at the crowded street below, and sighed leisurely, "Hey, I don't know when it's a head." ”

Xiaocao, who was carefully dressing up on the dresser, heard Shui Zhu'er's complaint, turned his head to her and said, "Sister Zhu'er, isn't it too late, didn't my mother say that the reward will be given to you this time, she doesn't want any money." ”

Shui Zhu'er broke her fingers earnestly there, as if she could redeem herself by calculating how much she was still missing.

"It's still a lot worse, I guess I won't be able to get out of here until I'm old."

Xiaocao smiled "fluttering", and then joked to Shui Zhu'er there: "Then Sister Zhu'er will find a good family to marry, and in the future, Lang will be a concubine, so unhappy." ”

Shui Zhu'er was a little embarrassed by what Xiaocao said, so she shot back: "Sister, don't care about me, let's think about when your family's Zhao Gongzi will redeem himself for you." ”

"Cut, Zhao Gongzi is going to Kyoto Prefecture to participate in the spring scientific expedition in the spring of next year, and he said that when he comes back, he will redeem himself for me."

When Shui Zhu'er heard this, she was also happy for Xiaocao, so she jumped up directly from there, and then said to Xiaocao: "Really? When Zhao Gongzi becomes an official again, my Xiaocao will be an official's wife. ”

Xiaocao was a little embarrassed by what Shui Zhu'er said: "It's still a long time, I just hope he can remember me then." ”

Speaking of this, Xiaocao's expression darkened.

Originally, when Shui Zhu'er saw Xiaocao's appearance, she wanted to open her mouth to comfort her, but who knew that Xiaocao suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and all the gloom on her face before was swept away, and she said to Shui Zhu'er: "Sister Zhu'er, what do you say that Kyoto Mansion looks like?" ”

Xiaocao sat on the dresser, looked at the water droplets leaning on the railing, and said: "I heard that it is very big, there are two or three Linqing mansions as big, and it seems to be very lively, there is a palace there, by the way, what does the palace look like, do we listen to Yuxuanda?" ”

Shui Zhu'er listened to Xiaocao's words, and her whole thoughts seemed to drift to the majestic city many years ago.

"yes, it's big." The voice is very calm.

As if she had a headache from the night breeze, Shui Zhu'er got up and went into the room, sat on the edge of the table, and waited for "Mom" to come and call her.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room, and then the voice of "mother" came from outside the door.

"Pearl, how are you preparing? Xu Ye, they are here. ”

Shui Zhu'er answered, and then followed "Mom" down to the second floor of Tingyuxuan.

Before Qi Song arrived to listen to Yuxuan, he said to Meng Runan, asking her to pack up in advance, and when she could deal with Xu Heng here, she would leave Linqing Mansion. After all, it doesn't seem to be very safe here in Linqing Mansion, there are a lot more people in the rivers and lakes than usual in the past few days, even a fool can see that this is the rhythm of action, not to mention that now the news of Qijiazhuang's destruction has been spread, and there are ridiculously many speculations in it, but most of them belong to the rumors of the rivers and lakes, and I don't know where these people got the news.

Today's Tingyuxuan seems to be different from usual, because I don't know when it started, and there are small servants there who start to invite guests out of here. Listening to Yuxuan's behavior will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the guests, but those little guys don't care about the other party's feelings, and just concentrate on carrying out the tasks taken from above.

There is a platform in the main hall on the first floor of Yuxuan, which is specially used for the girls here to play the piano and sing and dance, the purpose is to show their talents and win the favor of the sons who are doing it.

Qi Song entered Tingyuxuan and saw Xu Heng sitting at a table in the middle of the main hall.

"Brother Qi, you're here." Xu Heng had been paying attention to the door, so as soon as Qi Song entered the door, Xu Heng saw him, so he hurriedly got up and seemed to salute Qi Song very respectfully.

Most of the people who came to listen to Yuxuan were some people in Linqing Mansion, and the Silver Hook Gambling House was the head snake of Linqing Mansion, and most of the people who came here knew the head of the Silver Hook Gambling House, so when those guests who had not yet been invited out saw that the manager actually took the initiative to greet each other and treat each other so respectfully, they began to guess the identity of that person.

For a while, the news that Xu Heng had invited a mysterious person to a banquet spread far and wide.

When Qi Song came in, he naturally saw that the people listening to Yuxuan were inviting people, and naturally guessed that this should be something Xu Heng did, so Qi Song smiled and said to Xu Heng: "Master Xu, what a big stroke, he actually wrapped up the entire Tingyuxuan." ”

"It's not worth mentioning, Brother Qi is the guest here."

Saying that, Xu Heng clapped his hands, and a few people dressed as small servants came out from the screen on the side, standing there respectfully waiting for Xu Heng's orders.

"Tell Mother Wang that my guest has arrived, let her prepare."

The little guy answered, and then hurried down to find "Mother Wang".

Not long after Qi Song arrived at Tingyuxuan, Chu Ci's carriage also followed, but before he could get closer, he was stopped by someone who looked like a guard.

"I'm sorry, Tingyuxuan doesn't accept other guests today."

Tong Gele grabbed the reins of the carriage, stopped the carriage steadily, and then lifted the curtain and said to Lu Qing inside: "Senior brother, what should I do if I don't let you in?" ”

Lu Qing glanced at Chu Ci and seemed to be asking him how to do it.

Chu Ci was naturally shocked when he heard this result, on the one hand, he was shocked by Xu Heng's generosity, and on the other hand, he couldn't figure out what Xu Heng was going to do.

So Chu Ci lifted the curtain of the carriage, stopped a person who looked like a son passing by the side of the carriage, and asked, "Dare to ask the son, what happened to Yuxuan today?" ”

When Gongzi heard Chu Ci ask, he sighed, obviously because he didn't have fun just now, he was "invited" by the people who listened to Yuxuan.

"It's Xu Heng from the Silver Hook Gambling House, he was feasting guests in Tingyu Xuan, and he directly wrapped up the entire Tingyu Xuan, and he didn't know what the other party was about, so he was so consumed."

Chu Ci thanked the other party, then retracted into the carriage, and then sighed secretly: "This Xu Heng, what a big stroke." ”

Lu Qing naturally heard what the boy outside said just now, and he also frowned: "What is this Xu Heng going to do?" ”

Chu Ci shook his head and said, "I don't know, but what can be determined is that Xu Heng here must be Qi Song for the banquet, and besides, this Xu Heng is not well-intentioned." ”

After saying that, Chu Cixiang was not far away, and he was still "invited" to go out one after another, and then sneered: "The movement of this Hongmen banquet is a bit big. ”
