(022) Go to the banquet
Jiang Qingchen has always been very busy, and the whole family knows that the family never requires him to go home for dinner at night, including the New Year and festivals, because everyone knows that the New Year is the busiest time for the Nine Gate Admirals.
Because every year, everyone loves to go out, and when there are many people, chaos will inevitably come.
Recently, Jiang Qingchen is a little different, there will always be three or four days a week when he goes home for dinner, every time he comes back, he can see that he is dusty, and there are a lot of things outside, and he will not stay at home after eating, and he will return to the Admiral of Jiumen immediately.
As for why, everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, and no one will take the initiative to ask.
The elders in the family are very happy, and it is always good to have a reunion dinner.
Yun Xiangrong didn't feel anything abnormal, but Jiang Qingchen didn't come back to eat that day, so he felt abnormal, because Jiang Qingchen came back on time every day to accompany Yun Xiangrong to dinner, and even rested in the Houfu at night.
On the contrary, recently, he has not said anything to Jiang Qingchen, and basically ends with a hello every day.
Jiang Qingchen knew that Jiang Xinxin and Yun Xiangrong's gifts were ready, and they would go to the banquet when the time came, so after everyone had dinner together, Jiang Qingchen deliberately stayed, and said to the sisters that the capital has not been peaceful recently, and on the day of the birthday banquet, he will send the two to Taifu's mansion.
Yun Xiangrong thinks it's normal, the capital is not peaceful, and there are people in the princess's mansion who dare to come to make trouble, not to mention the Taifu Mansion.
And the last time she was in Jiangnan, her sisters-in-law would encounter scoundrels when they went out, and she still remembered it vividly. This time I went out in the evening, so of course it was best to have someone to send it.
But she knew that the Taifu Mansion was much safer than the Princess's Mansion, who was Li Yanfei, the head of the inner guard, and the family was clearly arranged.
Jiang Xinxin thinks that the eldest brother will like Rongrong, it is normal to like it, can there be anyone who doesn't love beautiful women? However, the beauty seems to have a verbal marriage contract, and there may be some trouble.
From Jiang Xinxin's point of view, she likes Yun Xiangrong to be her sister-in-law, so it is too comfortable to go back to her parents' house.
But big brother, if you like others, just say it, why did you pull me in, I have participated in so many banquets since I was a child, why didn't I see you send me once, and everyone in the capital knows that going to Taifu's Mansion to make trouble is a fateful choice.
On the night of the birthday banquet, Jiang Qingchen went home on time and picked up the sisters and sent them to Taifu's mansion. Everyone didn't notice that there was a pair of resentful eyes in the mansion, looking straight at the three of them.
Jiang Qingchen has seen Yun Xiangrong's dress as a Jiangnan girl, dressed in palace clothes, this is the first time to wear a noble girl's formal clothes, her hair is combed high, her face is **, and her jewelry is all over her body.
Although this dress is admittedly not beautiful, and the main purpose of the performance is noble, Jiang Qingchen feels that Yun Xiangrong is very beautiful at this moment. There is no feeling of Jiangnan girl at all, full of aristocratic temperament.
In fact, the daughter of a merchant can't be on a big scene, it's just a secular prejudice, how can a girl who uses money to have a bad temperament, and even if she is an official girl, she was raised in a poor way, so it is impossible to see the nobility.
The two sisters got into the carriage, and Jiang Qingchen rode in front to lead the way.
This time to participate in the banquet, everyone does not bring maids, this is a few years ago, the rules were set, girls talk and laugh casually, with people, will always pass the jokes of other girls back to the house, so that everyone will be very unhappy.
In the carriage, Jiang Xinxin told Yun Xiangrong who came tonight, there were a total of ten girls, and a few of them Yun Xiangrong had seen in the palace. are also unmarried women who usually make good friends, and everyone has a good personality, so don't worry about getting along with each other.
Originally, Zhang Lingli was also coming, but because she was appointed as the crown princess, she was called into the palace just after leaving the palace, and she was being left in the palace by the queen at the moment, saying that it was to cultivate feelings, and who knew what to discuss.
However, Zhang Lingli and her family's desire is to be the queen, and this dream has come true, and they are very happy. It is an incomparable honor to be left behind by the queen. It is also an honor to be sisters.
Some people feel tired or unworthy when they look at other people, but how do you know that others are not enjoying it.
The sisters talked and laughed, and they arrived at Taifu's mansion.
Jiang Qingchen personally picked up the two of them and got off the carriage, saying that he would come to pick them up and go home. After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Xinxin said in his heart, is the eldest brother too idle recently, I have grown so big, and the family has not been given a curfew, although it is normal to have a banquet. I won't be home late.
But you feel a little unhappy with this clear provision, and you have some sympathy for Yun Xiangrong in your heart, this Yun Xiangrong is really going to become your sister-in-law. When you meet such a strong big brother, what will it be like?
Yun Xiangrong didn't feel anything wrong, thinking that the capital was so chaotic, it would be dark when the sky was over, and it was good to have my cousin come to pick us up, at least it was safe.
The concierge of Taifu's mansion, when he saw that there were guests arriving, he would naturally arrange manpower, park the carriage, and send the ladies into the mansion to rest. The gifts brought by the two of them are carried by the servants of the Taifu Mansion, and they will be placed in the designated area for banquet gifts in a while.
The two were led by the maid to the birthday banquet venue, and met Li Yanfei halfway, Jiang Xinxin of course knew Li Yanfei, if you want to say that it is better when Li Yanfei has no official position, he will often come to the Hou Mansion to find the eldest brother.
Now that everyone has become an important minister in the court, they feel that the relationship is estranged.
Jiang Xinxin greeted him very warmly: "Brother Yanfei, I haven't seen you for a long time, is it right to rest today?" Why don't you join us for dinner? ”
"Xinxin, don't be funny, if I eat with you ten girls, I don't need to eat food, and if I taunt me, it will be enough for me to be full for half a year." Li Yanfei said jokingly.
The two have known each other since they were very young, so even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, it is natural to talk.
Of course, Jiang Xinxin knew that what he said was the truth. can only smirk.
Jiang Xinxin suddenly thought of something, so he said: "Brother Yanfei, this is my cousin, named Yun Xiangrong, who just arrived in the capital from Jiangnan, and I have met Xibao in the palace before, and I don't know if Xibao has mentioned it to you." ”
In fact, Yun Xiangrong is less than a month older than Jiang Xinxin, according to the rules, Jiang Xinxin should call his cousin, but Yun Xiangrong disagreed, feeling that he would call himself old, so both of them called their names.
Yun Xiangrong flew a blessing to Li Yan, and Xuejiang called out in his heart, "Brother Yan Fei." ”
Yun Xiangrong saw Li Yanfei for the first time.
Li Yanfei and Jiang Qingchen have both practiced martial arts since childhood, it may be that the number of martial arts paths is different, and the temperament of the two is completely different. Jiang Qingchen is handsome and free in temperament, and Li Yanfei is stronger, full of manliness.
But when he speaks, he is full of energy, his voice is very good, and sometimes he loves to chew words, which is very contrasting, and emotionally he is even more chivalrous and tender.
If you want to be the leader of the internal guard, Li Yanfei is more suitable, and when he goes to that station, it is particularly shocking.
Li Yanfei said: "Don't be so polite, your cousin and I are friends, and you have a good time at our house." ”
In my heart, I secretly calculated that this girl was amazing.
In fact, the reason why Li Yanfei appeared here was because his little servant said that Jiang Qingchen was here, and he thought that Jiang Qingchen was actually coming to see him by sending his sister to the banquet.
This can avoid people's eyes, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they even want to let the kitchen cook a few side dishes for a while, and the two have a drink and chat.
When I went out, I found that I was thinking too much, and I was amorous, Jiang Qingchen sent my sister to her, turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation.
Li Yanfei said in his heart, this Jiang Qingchen can do it, and it is in vain to go out to pick up friends.
This is the second time Li Yanfei has seen Yun Xiangrong, although Yun Xiangrong is wearing sick makeup, it can be seen that she is a beauty with standard facial features.
This time she is wearing noble makeup, with such thick makeup, you can see the appearance of the country and the city, if this is under normal makeup, what kind of beauty will it be, this makes it understand, Jiang Qingchen must have deliberately not let the people in the palace see Yun Xiangrong.
There is only one reason, that is, I want to keep it for myself, Jiang Qingchen, who seems to be so calm, can do this kind of thing that makes the slightest mistake and will lose his head for the sake of love, which is really admirable.
But since you have this kind of thought, why did you still send the list of girls to the queen, is it a halfway repentance, when he thought that Jiang Qingchen could do something that he regretted halfway, Li Yanfei wanted to laugh.
The heart said that the next time we meet, I must ask you about the process of regret. Pure gossip curiosity, and didn't want to know what Jiang Qingchen did.
At this moment, Xibao came out, because the little girl had put the gift in the designated area, but no one came in, Xibao was a little curious about what was going on, and only after asking, he talked to his eldest brother.
Xi Baoxin said that his eldest brother is not close to women, so far, there are no people in the courtyard who are connected to the house, and they are used to seeing three thousand beauties in the palace every day, and they are known to have no feelings for beautiful women, how can they still talk about heaven.
Xibao is a careful person, and he also knows his eldest brother very well, when he saw that the eldest brother looked at Yun Xiangrong's meaningful expression, he felt that in the eyes of the eldest brother, Yun Xiangrong was a special existence.
The eldest brother is a person who pleases girls. I'm going to have to do something for a while.
"Xinxin, Xiangrong, why don't you come in yet?" Xibao said.
Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Xinxin turned around and saw Xibao who was walking towards the two.
To be precise, Yun Xiangrong at this moment is the first time to clearly see Xibao's appearance, and it is impossible to keep an eye on others during the contact time period in the palace.
A very cute girl, without noble makeup, with light makeup, big round eyes, full forehead and sea, the whole person exudes a smart atmosphere.
Jiang Xinxin was furious when he saw Xibao: "Xibao, you bad person, don't think that you are a birthday star today, you can do whatever you want, you are too much, you dress like this yourself, and let us wear noble women's clothes, do you deliberately want to show that you are out of the world?" ”
Yun Xiangrong also saw that what Jiang Xinxin was wearing at this moment was the colorful gauze dress she gave her, which was indeed very beautiful. The size is also just right, and there is no waste of three days of hard work for four people.
"I'm not also good for you, I said, you don't have such clothes, but it's even more embarrassing." Xibao said mischievously.
