As the meal approached, the chanting in the tent outside the door suddenly became much louder - this is a saying in the industry, called 'fasting and flame mouth'.

However, the first meal to be delivered was an offering to the deceased.

Seeing the four bowls and eight plates hot on the table, Lu, who was guarding nearby, felt that his nose was itchy and unbearable, and he couldn't help but sneeze twice in a row.

Sneeze, sneeze!

Seeing this, the 'Yan gourd' beside him immediately hugged the hand warmer and moved to the side in disgust.

However, Xu Wanqiu stepped forward from the back row and asked with concern whether the Lu family was infected with the wind cold.

But instead of appreciating it, the Lu family put on a face like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and scolded with raised eyebrows: "What nonsense? Don't curse me! ”

"yes."

Seeing this, the concubine Liu sneered with a pun: "What kind of wind and cold is this, it is obvious that someone is thinking about his sister-in-law!" ”

Listening to her focus on the word 'sister-in-law', Lu's face became more and more colorless, and he scolded in his heart:

What a!

can't control his own man, but he still has the face to blame on others!

But it turned out that the little brother-in-law Yan Honghao, recently took advantage of the convenience of keeping the spirit together, and teased her again and again, and said some bastard things.

Most of the Liu family also heard the rumors, but they didn't dare to turn their faces with their husbands, but instead poured all their sour feelings on Lu's head, and seized the opportunity to sarcastically ridicule her.

State, state, state......

But he said that the Lu family was about to ridicule each other, and suddenly heard the movement of knocking on the wooden fish between the male mat [straw mat] on the opposite side.

When I looked up, I saw a person sitting cross-legged on the opposite side, chanting words while tapping on the wooden fish, but it was not her husband Yan Hongqiu, which one could it be?

At this time, Yan Honghao, the younger brother-in-law, didn't know what to say, causing the men to point at Yan Hongyan one by one and snicker.

This fool!

Lu straightened his waist angrily, and then got up and grabbed the wooden fish.

But before she could get up, she hesitated again.

Yan Hongqian's biological mother died early, so since he became a fool and then lost Yan Shifan's favor, his status in the family has plummeted.

Now the name of the son-in-law not only did not bring him any benefits, but made him the target of public criticism.

At present, my father-in-law is not in the mourning hall, and if he stands up for him, he will probably suffer some sarcasm.

Just for the sake of a fool, is it worth it?

The Lu family was weighing the pros and cons, when he saw Xu Wanqiu get up from behind, first silently stepped forward to put away the wooden fish, and then called the little guy beside Yan Hongqiu, and explained softly: "Although the uncle is a piece of filial piety, he can chant the scriptures and have his own monks and Taoists in charge, and in the future, don't take these things to the mourning hall." ”

The little guy resignedly agreed, and withdrew from the mourning hall with the wooden fish in his hand.

During the whole process, the men's table was silent, and even Yan Honghao, the initiator, lowered his eyebrows.

Recently, because of the 'love grabbing' incident, Yan Shifan has asked Xu Jie, so Xu Wanqiu's status in the Yan family has also risen.

At this moment, naturally no one wants to offend her.

It is said that Xu Wanqiu's approach can be regarded as indirectly relieving the siege of the Lu family.

But Lu didn't feel any gratitude.

She herself was reluctant to come forward, but she couldn't see Xu Wanqiu in the limelight.

So while glaring at Gu Pan's amorous peach blossom eyes, he secretly became ruthless in his heart:

This damn little hoof, all day long, thinks about taking the lead and acting on behalf of Yan Honghao - if she is really forced by Yan Honghao one day, she will drag her into the water to see if she can do it when the time comes!

…………

Just when the Lu family was secretly ruthless, the Qiao family, who lived in the west wing of the Wang family's backyard, also made an important decision.

After betraying her husband, she actually had a string in her heart, for fear that Wang Shouye would use herself as bait to trap Ge Changfeng.

But to this day, Wang Shouye has not mentioned this matter, and even let her live in the backyard of the Wang family - obviously this Lord Wang still has a lot of love and pity for her.

And after betraying her husband, she definitely didn't dare to go back to the Ge family.

In that case, why not go with the flow and change the door?

Although in the Wang family, the Qiao family will definitely not be able to be the housewife, but if he can win Wang Shouye's favor by three points, he may not have the opportunity to seize the Ge family's property in the future.

And if you want to climb this big tree, the first thing you have to do is ......

She gently stroked her lower abdomen, which was still flat, and her palm-sized melon seed face gradually floated with determination.

…………

Night.

Li Caifeng raised the thick curtain and ran into the biting cold wind.

She subconsciously shrunk her neck, and then hurriedly stretched it out, rubbing her hands, sighing, and looking at her neck with expectant eyes.

It's been a long time, but I'm just looking forward to a lonely figure.

Li Caifeng hurriedly took a few steps forward, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Cui Banban, His Royal Highness ...... him?"

The old eunuch who copied his hand shook his head slightly: "Your Highness has gone to the Lin family's house, and most of them will spend the night with her tonight." ”

Although it had been expected, Li Caifeng still couldn't hide his disappointment, and then carefully took out a piece of loose silver, stuffed it to the old eunuch, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to inform, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well go to the flower hall to sit down, and the slave maid will let you make a pot of tea." ”

"No, no, the old slave still has to go and wait."

The old eunuch waved his hand again and again, turned around slowly, and folded his sleeves back the way he came.

Li Caifeng watched his figure all the time, disappeared at the end of the verandah, and lingered outside the door of the hall for a long time before picking up the curtain and walking in.

Just as he was hesitating about how to give a tactful report, he heard the princess say softly: "But the prince has gone elsewhere?" ”

Li Caifeng raised his head in surprise, and then hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Cui Banban said that the prince went to the Lin family's house. ”

After a long silence, I listened to Princess Chen's instructions again: "Since the prince is not here, let people remove those meat dishes and reward them to the people on duty tonight." ”

Li Caifeng hurriedly thanked the sisters for the reward, and two acquaintances were summoned from next door, and the meat dishes were removed.

When she packed up and returned to the hall to serve Princess Chen, she found that the living room was empty.

When I found the bedroom next door, I saw Princess Chen sitting alone in front of the dresser, silently removing her hair full of pearls.

Princess Chen is a continuation, Jiajing only married into the palace in the thirty-seventh autumn, and now she is only eighteen years old, which is the year of flowers and jade.

However, at this time, the bleak and lonely silhouette did not have any youthful vigor at all.

Li Caifeng's heart was sour for no reason, and she stepped forward to help her clean up the hairpin on her head, and couldn't help but feel uneven: "The wind and dust of the Lin family, where can it compare to the beauty and fragrance of the country, and it is ...... Your Highness."

"Caifeng."

Princess Chen interrupted her, but asked Feng Ma Niu what she didn't want to mention: "I heard that Wang Bocheng, who is a demon in Cangzhou, made a special trip to find you yesterday?" ”

"Who did you listen to?"

Li Caifeng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained the relationship between the two families.

"So, you should be familiar with him, huh?"

"Naturally familiar tight."

Li Caifeng nodded, and then cautiously asked, "Why did Niangniang suddenly ask about him?" ”

"The second sister is getting older, and it's time for Zhang Luo to do a family business, a few days ago, when I heard someone mention this king's guard, I paid attention, I never thought that he and you were old acquaintances......"

As soon as he heard the first few sentences, Li Caifeng felt a bang in his head, buzzing and echoing, and he couldn't hear what the princess said.

"Caifeng, Caifeng?"

It wasn't until her shoulder was gently rubbed that she came back to her senses and said with a stiff smile: "Niangniang is really born with a wise eye, according to the slave maid, Brother Shouye must be a good match for the second lady!" ”
