Wedding feast
Mrs. Sun was also present, Chu Tao had to admit how difficult it is for these women to support a mansion, take Mrs. Sun as an example, in the face of her former daughter-in-law, she can also act as if nothing had happened, with a calm and breezy old lady's most stable expression, and her own mother Liu, the two of them still talk and laugh.
Chu Tao lowered the clear soup and little water, with a plain little face, humming a little song casually, and said to Xiaohong from time to time, who is the daughter of who's family, when she was a child, she was dark and grew up a lot more beautiful, who is the son of who's family, don't look at the age There are a lot of favorite concubines. And that woman, don't look at her soft-spoken, in fact, she is a tigress who once scratched her husband's face and couldn't go to court.
This kind of occasion is simply a feast of gossip for Chu Tao.
Also watching gossip is Princess Xile, who chatted enthusiastically with the people at the banquet. Although he is not very familiar with Xue Ziwu, but as one of his younger sisters and this brother has been favored and favored by his father recently, he has to come over to greet him instead of his mother, the princess of Chang'an from the queen is noble, she and the East Palace have not come, and there is a princess Shangjia who has never dealt with her, Xile is too lazy to talk to Shang Jia.
However, as the only princess on the top, there are still many people who worship under their pomegranate skirts, this feeling of the stars holding the moon is not bad, Xile remembered that his father seemed to be paying a lot of attention to Xue Congjia recently, and he couldn't help but secretly speculate that his father would let the two royal families of the East and West be willing to marry.
After briefly saying a few words of blessing to the third brother and the new sister-in-law, Xile sat side by side with Xue Zicheng, who was drinking, and said with some emotion: "The Jiang family is indeed a beauty, and the new sister-in-law is really beautiful, especially the nose, which is really good-looking." ”
Xue Zicheng praised: "That's natural! The noses of the Jiang girls all look like this, straight and upturned, small and exquisite. Can the Jiang family's beauty be fake, my two cousins are better looking than women. ”
Xile sneered secretly, your cousin is good-looking, but who doesn't know that he is a dou who can't be supported, and it takes so much effort to marry a daughter-in-law, it can be seen that this good skin is exchanged for the intelligence of the third world.
Xile pretended to flatter: "I shouldn't talk about the elders, but if I want to praise it, it won't be arrogant - Concubine Zhen is also very beautiful, not only beautiful, but also has an outstanding temperament." ”
Xue Zicheng said happily: "Look over there, do you see, that stupid peach sister, I don't know where to cultivate the blessing, I look exactly like my mother's concubine, the daughter of the Jiang family is really good-looking." ”
"Yes...... It's exactly the same......" Xile was also stunned, she always felt that something was wrong, she suddenly remembered that one day she overheard the conversation between her mother and her confidant, and she was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Chu Tao, I haven't seen her for a long time, this girl looks more beautiful, and she has a feeling of elegance.
Chu Tao was still looking around, or she was just covering her mouth and laughing, and she didn't know what she was happy about. Xile had no choice but to mutter, "Is it really what the mother guessed......
Xue Zicheng didn't care about Xile muttering alone, looked at Jiang Chutao and said, "Anyway, we have been reading books together for more than a year, and we have forgotten in a blink of an eye, and I don't know who to talk to." ”
Chu Tao didn't forget the fall of the horse that day, so he was resentful, and even ignored Xue Zicheng, who was talking to Xile, so Chu Tao didn't say hello to them at the banquet.
Chu Tao's eyes turned, and he met Sun Yihao's bitter and hateful eyes, and hurriedly looked away. It happened that Shi Li brought his sister over to talk to Chu Tao. When Chu Tao saw Shi Li, she immediately felt cordial, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Shi, is this your sister who has not left the cabinet?" It's so pretty, but it doesn't look like you at all. "Shi Li's sister Shi Yun is very sweet, and she can't find fault with her manners.
Shi Li said: "The third prince is married, and my sister also wants to come over to see the world." You say that she is beautiful, and you say that she does not look similar to me, isn't this an indirect saying that I am not good-looking! At this time, two familiar eyes shot towards Chu Tao, Chu Tao knew that this was Liu reminding him to pay attention to his words and deeds, even if he had a bunch of things to say to Shi Li, he had to say to Shi Yun's female dependent: "No, no, I don't mean that." How old is this sister? ”
Shi Li didn't think about it so much, and he didn't notice Liu's eyes, so he asked rhetorically: "Alas, I haven't seen you for many days, but you only pestered my sister to talk, why am I so annoying?" ”
Shi Yun covered her mouth and smiled, knowing that her brother had something to say to Chu Tao, so she said: "I'm fifteen years old this year, my brother and sister have a conversation, I still have to meet other sisters, I will be absent first." ”
Chu Tao felt Liu's burning gaze again, you must know that Liu has a good impression of Shi Li, this good impression is no less than a good impression of Sun Yihao, after all, Shi Li became a household servant at such a young age, and the most important thing is that Shi Li has not married a wife yet! In Liu's eyes, Shi Li is the golden beetle son-in-law who exudes light all over his body.
From a distance, Xile pointed to Shi Li, who was a talent, and asked Xue Zicheng: "Who is this person?" How come I've never seen one before? ”
Xue Zicheng squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, that, don't you know, this is the newly appointed Tobe Squire, Lord Shi Lishi, don't you know?" ”
Xile gasped: "-I know that the new Tobe Shirou is very young, but I didn't expect to be so young. ”
Xue Zicheng said indifferently: "It is said that he helped the third brother investigate the case and made a contribution, and his father appreciated him very much." However, Xue Zicheng privately thought that his father just wanted to praise the third brother and promote the people around him, Shi Li was so young, he shouldn't have any scheming, and it wouldn't be long before he was dragged into the water by the old foxes in the officialdom.
"Heh, what if you are young and promising, it's not that you are greedy for beauty, you can't walk when you see someone with a nose and eyes." Xile was very dissatisfied with Shi Li's "great hospitality" to Chu Tao.
Xue Zicheng said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, it's just two words." Xue Zicheng unconsciously protected Chu Tao, he felt that Chu Tao was also quite pitiful, he studied with him for a year, he didn't have a husband, not to mention, and broke his leg.
Xile didn't speak, and after a while, he said, "Congjia is here today." I've been sick for months, but I'm finally getting better. But I was worried to death, Mr. Zhu said it was an infectious disease, and he didn't allow others to visit, so I was anxious all winter. ”
Few people know about Xue Congjia's assistance to the Three Kings in investigating the case, even the Dongyi royal family does not know, it all depends on Xue Congjia's plan, and he asks Mr. Zhu to help him so that he can go to Xinyang smoothly.
After Mr. Zhu agreed, he got some dead bodies out of nowhere, and lied that the servants from outside had a strange infectious disease and had died of several diseases, so frightened that the palace people hurriedly took the princes and princesses back.
Xue Congjia was quarantined on the island under the pretext of being sick, and Mr. Zhu arranged for someone to pretend to be Xue Congjia and live in the Qizhu Pavilion for him for a few months.
Xue Zicheng drank the pigeon soup and said nonchalantly: "I saw that you said that you were scared, worried and sad, and you were not mixed with that jade master behind your back, Ah Rou, you can pretend in front of others, but you can't pretend in front of me, your feelings are too selfish." ”
"You're not...... I don't know, he's a little like Xue Congjia...... At the very least, looking at him, my heart can be calmed down. Xile said hurriedly.
"I don't understand what your women's family is thinking all day long, get a replacement, can you be so thin in your heart? Why don't you sneak into Jichang Garden and live and die with him? After Xue Zicheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but make Xile's heart tremble.
This kind of thing seems to be something that Jiang Chutao can do, but she can't do it. Xile lowered his head and held the wine glass in his hand.
Chu Tao was still chatting with Shi Li.
"Alas, Brother Shi, didn't Brother Tie Niu come?" Chu Tao hadn't seen Zhao Tieniu for a long time, and she still missed his appearance.
Shi Li turned sideways and directed Chu Tao's gaze to the side of the three kings, and Chu Tao saw that Zhao Tieniu, who had a purple face, drank more than the three kings, the groom, and Chu Tao shook his head helplessly.
The infatuated Zhao Tieniu thought of Sun Sanniang, who died tragically, and couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't help but use wine to kill his sorrows. On the one hand, he envied the beauty of the three kings on the side, and the good couple was natural, and on the other hand, he sighed the miserable love story between himself and Sanniang, this melancholy emotion was difficult to resolve, and he drank wine one after another.
Chu Tao smiled slightly, Shi Li and Zhao Tieniu reminded her of the good time in Xinyang, so her voice to Shi Li was also gentle: "The third prince married my sister, how can he be happy like that." Those who don't know think that the three kings are going to marry him. ”
Shi Li sneered: "What do you have in your brain, the three kings are also his life-saving benefactors, the three kings are overjoyed, then he is naturally very happy, right?" ”
Chu Tao and Shi Li chatted very happily as if there was no one around, Chu Tao held a wine glass in his left hand, and held a wine cup containing his daughter's red in his right hand, and toasted Shi Li several glasses of wine: "Brother Shi, in the days of Xinyang, thanks to your care, thanks to you, I have rubbed a lot of good shows, I will do it first as a respect." As he spoke, he grunted and fell away.
Shi Li had never seen a girl drink so violently, so he hurriedly grabbed Chu Tao's cup: "Thank you, thank you, what are you doing with wine." ”
Chu Tao smiled and snatched the cup back. Sun Yihao has been paying attention to Chu Tao silently for a long time, seeing that she is so close to Shi Li, he is not in his heart, how long his face is, he ignored his mother's warning, and slowly moved to Chu Tao and Shi Li.
When Chu Tao saw Sun Yihao, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, pulling Shi Li's sleeve. Shi Li blocked in front of Sun Yihao: "Who is this?" ”
Sun Yihao politely introduced himself, and said straightforwardly: "Are Master Shi and Miss Jiang very familiar?" Sister Peach, can you also introduce Master Shi to me?"
Shi Li probably understood the entanglement "love affair" between Chu Tao and Sun Yihao, and said: "Don't dare to be, Shi Mou's single word is a word, and the word is a lot." I heard that Brother Sun and Miss Jiang are childhood sweethearts, and the relationship is naturally extraordinary, how do they seem to have a knot. ”
These words choked Sun Yihao's question, they are not only childhood sweethearts, but also the two of them once had a marriage contract. The relationship between them must be extraordinary, right?
Chu Tao secretly gave Shi Li a thumbs up, and then whispered in Shi Li's ear: "Brother Shi, you drag him, I'll withdraw first." ”e8
