Chapter 278: Lady Qiu's Birthday (Part II)

Early in the morning, he had a quarrel with King Qing, that bastard was really resentful, and he paced back and forth in front of Yang Huahua with his crossed hands, his face was swollen red with excitement, and he raised his arm and waved it vigorously in the air, his hand trembled, "Idiot! It's really stupid, I did something stupid, but I asked him to solve the aftermath, and he actually asked me to apologize to Li Qing. ”

Yang Guozhong sat down, although his mouth was angry, his eyes were staring at Yang Huahua nervously, "You didn't send someone to tell Yuhuan about this!" ”

Yang Guozhong's emotions didn't seem to affect Yang Huahua, and she didn't pay attention to what he was saying, she held a light Luo small fan, leaned on a soft couch wrapped with gold wire, and carefully looked at the list of gifts that had just been sorted out, she heard Yang Guozhong mention King Qing, and her eyes immediately scanned King Qing's party, giving gifts of 1,500 taels of gold, and twenty-five diamonds, according to her Yang Huahua's standards, King Qing gave a generous gift, so he was not a fool, but the person who waved his arm in front of her didn't pay a penny, It meets the standard of a fool, but Yang Guozhong then mentioned Li Qing's name, so that she couldn't help but pick up the gift list again, looked for it carefully, and didn't see Li Qing's name, Yang Huahua was slightly disappointed in her heart, "It seems that he won't come." ’

"This is done by the eldest sister, I don't know."

Yang Huahua replied a little absentmindedly: "You know that I have a treat today, how can I have time to take care of these things, the eldest sister happened to go to the Hot Spring Palace yesterday, so she took this matter." ”

Speaking of treats, she immediately thought of today's rich income, and her loss of Li Qing was like a wave in the sea, and disappeared without a trace in Yang Huahua's heart in a blink of an eye, "By the way, it seems that Yang Guozhong hasn't given a gift yet!" ’

Yang Huahua put down the gift list and stared at Yang Guozhong, and the sharp gaze made Yang Guozhong fidget, as if the tenant who had gone out to hide from the debt had just returned to the village and bumped into the landlord who was collecting debts.

Yang Guozhong has received countless rewards from the emperor this year. It is said that even Pei Rou is tired of counting money. Today, she didn't say the slightest, how can this be, in terms of money, Yang Huahua has never known how to be reserved, she glanced at Yang Guozhong, and casually handed the gift list to the maid and ordered: "Tell the housekeeper that those who do not give gifts are not allowed to enter the mansion." ”

After speaking, she looked at Yang Guozhong lazily, and her eyes seemed to say, "Everyone gave gifts." Now it's up to you. ”

The anger on Yang Guozhong's face had not completely disappeared, but he was a little stunned, he opened his mouth wide for a long time and couldn't close it, looking quite funny, his lips trembled twice, as if he was spasmodic, "Third sister." You're not talking about me, are you? ”

"If you don't want to give it, forget it."

Yang Huahua smiled, and the corner of her mouth showed a small dimple that was lovely, "It stands to reason that this is just a part of your mind." It's up to you whether you give it or not, but if you forget about it, I will always keep it in mind, and I don't know when I mention it in front of the emperor. ”

The naked threat made Yang Guozhong's head several times bigger, and he really couldn't understand that Yang Huahua was a little whiter except for his skin. Except for a little bit of posture, everything else is useless, neither educated, nor etiquette, acting as he pleases, and daring to laugh unbridled in front of the emperor, but the emperor is infatuated with her and obeys her. Yang Guozhong sighed secretly, "Okay then! ”

He can't afford to offend. I had no choice but to agree, "Last month, the emperor gave me a Youxian pillow and transferred it to you, even if it was a birthday gift for you." ”

"Immortal pillow?" Yang Huahua remembered that the turtle Zi country into the worship, the color is like agate, warm and moist like jade pillow, it is said that the pillow it sleeps, then the ten continents, three islands, the four seas, the five lakes, can be seen in the dream, so it is called the fairy pillow, it is really a good baby.

"Then it's a deal!" Yang Huahua happily accepted his birthday gift, but she didn't hear Yang Guozhong's echo, but at a glance, she saw that his hand was touching her thigh, and she couldn't help but slap his pig hand away, and sneered: "If you give you a fairy pillow, you want to take advantage of the old lady, you won't suffer!" ”

Right here, there was a sound from the bell tower saying 'Dang! While! Yang Huahua jumped up from the soft couch and walked out in a hurry, halfway through, she turned back to Yang Guozhong and smiled: "If the third brother is fine, go and greet the guests for me!" ”.

There is still an hour to leave the banquet, but many low-grade officials and some wealthy families in the capital have arrived early, and Mrs. Guo's birthday banquet is also an excellent opportunity to meet high-ranking officials to some extent.

Shangshu's right servant shot Chen Xilie is the first high-ranking official to arrive early, since Zhang Qiu and Qiong replaced him as the left minister, he seems to have come to the end of his career after the year of the sixtieth year, and he has gradually disappeared from people's field of vision in the past three years, just when he was ready to enjoy his old age in the women's pile, there was a sudden great change in the court, the prince was deposed, Zhang Qiu and Qiong died, and a large number of Zhang Qiu party backbones were deposed to local officials, which made Chen Xilie suddenly see the hope of a comeback, he was originally the backbone of the Xiangguo Party faithfully, But after the last lesson, he also knew that Li Linfu was already in the twilight of the West Mountain, and he was no longer a big tree to rely on, and the Yang family was rising rapidly, and he had faintly become an upstart in the DPRK and China, and he could help him.

So, the first thing Chen Xilie did was to invite Yang Guozhong to his house, in the name of drinking to make amends, but he called out a group of his wives and concubines to dance, the meaning is self-evident, Yang Guozhong was also polite, picked his most charming and beloved concubine and brought it back to the house directly, and also earned a dowry from Chen Xilie's gift.

The hard work paid off, Chen Xilie's generosity finally moved Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong went to his house again and again to drink and have fun, even if he was officially accepted into the quasi-Yang Party, and the position of the left minister was promised to him again, today's Mrs. Guo's birthday, Chen Xilie was even more active, generously paid 1,500 taels of gold, and took the initiative to come early, he wanted to receive guests for Mrs. Guo.

"Chen Xiangguo came early!" Several low-grade officials standing in the courtyard chatting immediately surrounded them, officialdom is like this, once an official, lifelong use, such as a certain waiter retired, but the subordinate officials had to call him a waiter when they saw him, and called him until he died, these low-grade officials were like flies passing by the toilet, and immediately buzzed around Chen Xilie, you and I said a word, saying fashionable and cheap compliments.

Chen Xilie raised his head and snorted coldly, he passed through the swarm of flies with his hands behind his back and drooping his eyelids. He has no real power. But there is still dignity, he is the right servant of Shangshu, just like the vice chairman of the CPPCC in later generations, with a respected status, how can he get along with these five or six petty officials? Tell other high-ranking officials to see it and not drop the price?

"If Chen Xiangguo leads the troops, he must be a Yum general!" The last sentence of unqualified praise made Chen Xilie's old face blush, let him lead the troops? It's almost the same with the women's army.

Chen Xilie's eyelids were raised, and he saw that the place where he spoke was the new Donggong Zanshan Doctor Lai Yao, who was the first official recommended to the emperor by Yang Guozhong after he served as a servant of the ministry. is also a member of the quasi-Yang Party, Chen Xilie is not good to ignore him

Xiaohan mocked: "Didn't the old man hear that the doctor's family is poor, how to be polite, you gave at least three hundred taels of gold!" ”

Lai Yao had a purple face, and his skin was so swollen that he couldn't see it, and he said loudly: "Xiaguan only has a few acres of thin fields. This gift money was cobbled together by the lower officials who borrowed it everywhere and asked the tenants to pay the rent for the next few years. ”

"Pay the rent for the next few years!" How can they hand it over? ”

"That can't be helped. If you can't hand it over, you have to pay it! ”

Lai Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, it's not just the lower officials, many guests who came today are like this, Mrs. Guo's birthday is very important!" ”

"Do you mean I'm indirectly exploiting those tenants?" I don't know when, Mrs. Yang Huahua appeared behind them, although she was dressed gorgeously, she did not have the elegance of a lady. Standing there with her hands crossed on her waist, like an aggressive hen, her slender eyes exuding the innocence of the mountains, which is her signature, and it is this wildness that fascinates Li Longji.

"Nope! No! "Lai's hand was like a windmill, his wrist bone was almost dislocated, his head was shaking like a rattle, and he shouted 'No!' But I couldn't think of anything else.

"Poor poor man?" Full of tears. The hand restlessly rested on his chest, and he sighed emotionally, as if he thought of his own past.

"Madame, rest assured, the old man has been the prime minister, and the court has a porridge relief system when the green and yellow are not available, if they don't have to eat, they can go to get the porridge, and they won't die of hunger." political experience, but he said that the matter of the twenty years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty seems to have forgotten that it is now the eighth year of Tianbao, although the memory is not good, but the eyes are extremely sharp, Mrs. Guo's skirt seems to be tightened, outlining her plump body to the curve, especially the front chest, most of the snow-white breasts are exposed, Chen Xilie's blue-gray cheeks are faintly flushed, and his snort is a little difficult.

Yang Huahua immediately and professionally captured Chen Xilie's subtle changes, she glanced at Chen Xilie with a smile, plucked a golden hairpin inlaid with a few pearls from her head and held it in her hand, and said sadly: "Even if I donate this golden hairpin to the poor, please ask Chen Ge Lao to sell it for me and buy some rice." ”

Chen Xilie was flattered and reached out to take it, his hand trembled but he touched the back of Yang Huahua's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and retracted it violently as if it was being burned, his tongue was knotted, his eyes flashed with a thief's bright light, and his body bowed there motionless, like a frozen prawn.

"Madame cares about the poor, this king is very pleased, I am going to open a shed tomorrow to give porridge, I have decided to take the name of Madame!" The voice came from the gate not far away, very loud and majestic, Yang Huahua's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, the person who came was the biggest sponsor of her birthday this time, Qingwang Li Cong, she immediately left Chen Xilie and greeted her, Yang Huahua's intimacy with a man is directly proportional to his generosity to himself, similar to a certain profession.

I saw that she grabbed King Qing's arm thicker than her thigh without scruples, and laughed coquettishly, this laughter seemed to be a magic word to unravel the spell, the stiff prawn suddenly moved, Chen Xilie was savoring the warmth and softness that he felt at the moment when he touched the back of Mrs. Guo's hand, but he was awakened by Mrs. Guo's laughter, he turned his head and saw that Mrs. Guo's breasts were close to King Qing's arm, almost pressed into a custard by her own body, Chen Xilie's face turned red, and then the ground became miserable white, Instinctively, he touched his delicate arm.

At this time, Yang Guozhong also ran out, he saw that Yang Huahua and King Qing were so close, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he bowed to Li Congchang, and said in a lengthened tone: "Your Highness came down too early!" ”

Although King Qing has ringworm with broken sleeves, this does not prevent him from being greedy for beauty, but he does not admire Yang Huahua's beauty, but her status is respected, which can satisfy his vanity, and the beauty he really covets is in the palace and by his father's side, which is also an important reason why he wholeheartedly wants to ascend to the throne early.

"Madame's birthday, how dare I come late, right! Madam. Smiled gently, the black and fat numb face looked a little bright and moving, Yang Huahua smiled coquettishly, and then let go of his arm, the affection for King Qing was just a little compensation for his generosity, and it was over when the amount was enough, today she is the hostess, how can she only favor one person.

"Just now, His Highness said to use my name to help the disaster." Yang Huahua was afraid that Li Cong would forget, so she reminded him once again that as long as every bit of a man's contribution, she would accept it unceremoniously, she had no husband, and she had to rely on herself to support her old age!

Li Cong smiled a little reluctantly, he could take out a lot of gold and give it to Yang Huahua, but the disaster relief was something he lost for a while, it was he who showed his father to see, it was a ladder that he climbed up to the East Palace, how could he give it to people casually, Li Cong felt remorseful in his heart, but how could he change his words? At a loss, he suddenly found that Yang Huahua's eyes were smiling a little sly, and he immediately realized that she wanted to help some poor people, but she just wanted to discount the promise to her.

"Why don't I give another sum of money and let my wife buy food for the poor! If you and I give alms, won't the poor be even more happy? Li Cong said this, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and began to think about how much gold should be folded into her in his mind.

Yang Huahua saw that Li Cong understood what she meant, her face suddenly smiled, and her eyes glanced at Chen Xilie's hand again, which was still holding a golden hairpin from her, this old pervert would definitely swallow it privately, and then take it everywhere to preach, saying that she had a leg with him, she suddenly remembered that the back of her hand had been touched by this old pervert just now, and her heart was suddenly as disgusting as eating a fly, and she couldn't help but scold secretly: "Old pervert!" If you dare to eat the old lady's tofu, and if you don't return the old lady's golden hairpin, the old lady will ask you to get out of the house immediately. ”

Although he scolded in his heart, he smiled and said: "I almost forgot, the golden hairpin was given to me by my mother, it is commemorative, Chen Ge Lao might as well return me, I will send someone to send money to the house tomorrow, and then bother Chen Ge Lao to do good for me." ”

Although Chen Xilie didn't want to pay it back, Yang Guozhong and King Qing's eyes were staring at him! He had to finally pinch the golden hairpin, handed it back to Yang Huahua, and said with a dry smile: "As long as Mrs. has this heart, let us do it as a court official!" ”

Several men glanced at each other, and they all laughed tacitly, and suddenly, there was a commotion outside the gate, Yang Huahua frowned, and asked unhappily, "What's going on outside?" What's the noise! A family member standing at the door stepped forward to report: "Madam, the head of the household Li Shilang is here, and the housekeeper told him that Mrs. has an order, and no one who has given gifts is allowed to enter the door, so they have a quarrel." ”

Yang Huahua was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she stomped her foot fiercely, carried her long skirt, and ran out of the door like crazy.
