Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Night Banquet at Qujiangchi (1)

July 15, Midyear Day.

The Tang Dynasty's Zhongyuan Festival, influenced by Buddhism is more profound, its original meaning is used to advocate repaying the grace of parenting, which is also roughly the same as the Confucian tradition of filial piety to parents, so it has been praised and valued by the kings of the past dynasties, Emperor Li San used to hold such a festival is generally held a family banquet, and this time he chose to set up a banquet in Qujiangchi, the scale is indeed larger.

Before dusk, Qujiangchi has begun to put up lights, large and small buildings are crowded, palace maids and eunuchs are in a hurry, busy mess, and at this moment Qujiangchi is the largest health hall outside the square, there are dozens of tables.

The health hall was originally the palace of Emperor Li San to spend the summer here, but since he got older, he was reluctant to come here, so this hall was idle. It is surrounded by a forest of buildings, and there is a long bridge between the buildings for visitors to see.

The square in front of the health hall is in the style of a ladder, the table has been set, the dinner is to be held here, the ladder represents the identity, and the top seat is naturally the emperor and the princes and ministers, the lower the status.

At this time, a group of literati have come to the building, and they are enjoying the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Pond, and it should not be possible to enter the health palace, but there are many buildings and the food is also provided by the royal family.

As for how the literati will bring their fame to the health palace, it depends on their respective skills......

Xu Chen has been in the bank that afternoon, and Fu Cheng Lao Li came over to say that the bank has recently invested in several major customers, which aroused Xu Chen's curiosity.

I stayed in the office for an afternoon, very boring, this bank is working well, but there is nothing to worry about, Yumo came in a few times and reported his work, but Xu Chen obviously felt that this Nizi felt different after sending himself to paint last time, twisting and pinching, and looking at his eyes were so gentle.

There is always an illusion of gentleness, it seems that he can feel Yumo's mood, Xu Chen still tries to keep his distance from her, Yumo This girl is indeed very good, not to mention the beauty of the thief, and the ability to do things is very prominent, this should be placed in modern society, it must be a hot item, if any boss has such a female assistant, hum......

Xu Chen couldn't help but be impressed by Yumo, but he didn't fall under the pomegranate skirt, for this girl, Xu Chen was still able to keep a clear head, after all, he helped her when she was in difficulty, and it was reasonable for her to want to repay herself.

So Yumo's amorous eyes always couldn't connect with Xu Chen's eyes, this man was obviously dodging, Yumo was a little annoyed, did he really want to speak by himself? But what happens when you open your mouth? Even if you accept yourself, what will happen? He's a colt.

In fact, the reason why Yumo discharged so boldly was because she had already convinced herself in her heart, she felt that the man in front of her might really be her true destiny, and she had a decision in her heart, even if she couldn't get it, she would not let herself regret it.

A woman who dares to love and hate......

In the afternoon, Xu Chen was called back by the people in the house, and then he remembered that he was going to attend a banquet tonight.

I left in a hurry without saying hello to Yumo, and the reason why I walked in such a hurry was because I felt that Yumo's mother was obviously in the wrong state, so it was better to avoid it quickly.

So Yumo was even more annoyed after seeing Xu Da Ma leaving the bank in embarrassment, and said fiercely: "I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, I don't believe that this girl can't clean you up!" ”

Back at the princess's mansion, it was not early, Li Shuang'er and Zi'er were waiting in the living room, and after Xu Chen changed his clothes, they got into the carriage of the princess's mansion together and ran to Qujiangchi.

This was the second time I had sat in the same carriage with the princess, and the atmosphere was still a little awkward.

In fact, for women, Xu Chen was definitely the active type in college in his previous life, and the name of "Flower Picking Avenue Chief" was not blown, but as he grew older, he was no longer a young Meng Lang, and his state of mind was directly proportional to his maturity, of course, Xu Chen didn't like women anymore, but he didn't have the mania of his youth, and he was just looking for a feeling for women, and if it feels right, it will naturally be right.

Just like today's Yumo, Xu Chen still can't accept the form of rushing to make it up, besides, he feels that this woman is obviously mixed with other emotions to treat this vague feeling, if there is a feeling.

Who doesn't love a beautiful woman, but she is as brain-dead as Li Cai'er and as insidious as Li Shuang'er, which makes people unbearable.

Although Xu Chen didn't have much resentment towards the Shuang'er princess sitting in front of him, if he wanted to say that he had a good impression, he really didn't have a good impression at all, it should be that this woman was too impressed in his heart, and the first impression of this kind of thing, wanting to change, is not a big thing that has happened to any sudden change, and it is estimated that this is it.

"Tonight, you are going to see all the uncles and aunts, as well as the imperial sisters......" Li Shuang'er was still sitting opposite Xu Chen, but the two looked out the window while having a strange tacit understanding, but their mouths were admonishing.

When the two got married, it was obviously very pompous, and the people in the above-mentioned royal clan all went to the princess's mansion to pay the bride price, and now the two appeared in front of everyone for the first time after the wedding, and this occasion is so big, the number of ceremonies still has to be done, Li Shuang'er wants to take the horse to say hello to the elders one by one.

As soon as Xu Chen heard that he was going to see some seven aunts and eight aunts, he was a little speechless, etiquette is the cliché thing Xu Chen dislikes, but the tradition of the Chinese nation is too long, no matter what, he can't hide it, so he nodded and agreed, but he thought that when the time comes, he will slip away and find a place to see the scenery, which is more useful than seeing your big family.

Silence ensued, and by the time the carriage had stopped, night had fallen.

Qujiangchi is right in front of you.

There were rows of guards standing at the door, and only after verifying their identities did they put the carriage in, Xu Chen looked at the night view of Qujiang outside the window, and was not a little surprised, so he hurriedly turned his head out of the window.

At this time, the Qujiang Pond in the night is completely immersed in the moonlight, the lights on the buildings in the distance are diffuse, bright as day, so far away you can see the tourists who fold the fan on the long bridge, the scene is not lively.
