"Miss, come, taste." As soon as Cui Mengyao came back, Chun'er was already waiting for her in the boudoir, and pointed to the food on the table and said to her with a smile.

"Huh? Mille-feuille cake, osmanthus cake? Cui Mengyao couldn't help but light up when she saw a few exquisite snacks on the table, stretched out her slender hand, picked up a silver spoon, and elegantly dug up a piece of mille-feuille cake, put it in her mouth, and then tasted it carefully.

"Well, it's delicious, Chun'er, when did you buy it?"

Chun'er pretended to be mysterious and said, "I didn't buy it, someone gave it away." ”

Cui Mengyao responded with an "oh", and didn't care, between brothers and sisters, give each other a little pastry, this is a very normal thing, and ate two more bites, only then did he wake up and didn't ask about business, immediately put down the silver spoon, and asked anxiously: "Chun'er, what's wrong with that person inside?" ”

"Which one?"

"Play tricks on me again, be careful that I punish you for pouring night incense."

Chun'er was startled, stuck out her tongue, pointed to the snacks and snacks on the table, and said, "He? Well, he's got me to taste them. ”

"What?" Cui Mengyao said in surprise: "This, this is what he asked you to bring out?" Didn't he say he was so hungry that he turned into a rabbit and nibbled on leaves? You didn't lie to me, did you? ”

"Miss, we're worried in vain." Chun'er said with a little cry and laughter: "We all thought that he had no food or drink, and he was so hungry that he was about to die, but I didn't expect that these were all fake, and he ate, drank, and slept well in it, and he didn't know how much he was nourished." ”

After speaking, Chun'er told what she had seen and heard in Qiufeng's residence.

Cui Mengyao was dumbfounded at first, and then couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly.

"Interesting, interesting, it seems that my father miscalculated this time."

Xiang'er couldn't help laughing: "It's just that he pretends to be too similar, and even the old housekeeper Cui Afu let him deceive him, and then let him know the truth." It is estimated that this time the old cat will burn his beard, and he will say that there is an old man in the family every day, if there is a treasure, and that he has walked more bridges than we walked, hehe"

The two girls laughed for a while, and Xiang'er couldn't help but ask, "Miss, then, should we tell the third master about Liu Yuan?" ”

Cui Mengyao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Forget it, they are fighting and arguing now." The more they help, the more they help, and now that many relatives have arrived, they still have to greet guests, the day after tomorrow."

"Miss the day after tomorrow is going to visit him, right?" Xiang'er picked up the conversation with a smile.

Cui Mengyao's face turned red. I thought that I would put on a red hijab and marry a woman in two days. For a moment, she was shy. Speechless with a red face.

"Miss Cousin, the third aunt has arrived."

"Miss Mengqiong of the sixth room has arrived."

"Miss Mengxue of the fourth room has arrived."

Yahuan, who was guarding the door, began to shout loudly, not because she was afraid that Cui Mengyao would not listen, but loudly informed her to get ready, like getting married or something, sisters and female elders would come to chat with Cui Mengyao and exchange experiences, in fact, it was a learning conference. Talk about how to get along with people, be a wife, and be a mother, and some sisters who are already wives will secretly teach some skills in the room, the art of the husband, or something.

Although it is a famous family, these are also the rules handed down by the Chinese nation, and they are looking for an opportunity to get together. Second, the husband's family is not as good as the family, and it is necessary to learn how to deal with interpersonal relationships, etc., in fact, there is a very important reason, that is, many women will have some worries and fears before leaving the cabinet.

And this custom has been preserved until now.

"Quick, Chun'er, see if my hair is messy, my clothes are not dirty, and my lipstick, I want to make it up, but I can't let them laugh." Cui Mengyao said nervously.

"Yes, Miss" Chun'er was busy all of a sudden, and she had to pour tea and deliver water or something in a while, so she probably had to be busy.

Cui Mengyao began to be busy, and Cui Jing was even more busy.

As the head of the seven clans and five surnames, the Cui family is deep-rooted and has a wide range of contacts, such as royal nobles, princes and ministers, famous families, etc. will attend, especially Cui Jinggui is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and there are countless protégés.

I didn't even have the time to drink saliva.

"Lord Wang, I didn't expect you to be so appreciative, please here"

"I didn't expect you to come in person, the eighth prince, and you lost your welcome, and you missed your welcome."

"Liu Yushi, your gift is too generous, this, how embarrassing is this."

"Zhao Gong, hard work, hard work."

"Cheng Shi's nephew, sure enough, he is a tiger father and no dog, and he is getting more and more like Lu Guogong, good, good."

People from all walks of life congratulatory people have arrived one after another, and those who can receive the invitation of the Cui family are not rich or expensive, although Cui Jing is so tired that he is cramping, but when he thinks about his life, it is just that once, his spirit has been very excited, and he has been in the guest house, ordinary, he will be arranged to stay in the inn for the time being, anyway, as early as a few days ago, several of the largest inns in Qinghe let him be chartered down for relatives and friends, messengers, and representatives.

If it is a prominent person, it must be arranged in the Cui Mansion.

You can't afford to slack off.

Fortunately, the subordinates in the family are well-trained, the old lady had a big birthday in Longde a few months ago, and she can be regarded as having reception experience, and the children and nephews of the family are also very helpful, especially Cui Tingshi, who is more attentive than Cui Jing in doing things, Cui Jing praised him twice in one day, and made Cui Tingshi happy, and he walked with the wind.

That night, Cui's house was brilliantly lit, the light was like day, the sound of laughter and silk and bamboo, it seemed to be lively, and that kind of festive atmosphere could be felt by the entire Qinghe.

As the host, Cui Jing extended more than a dozen seats in the hall to entertain colleagues, relatives and friends, especially those sitting in the chief, including Shangshu, Yushi, Guogong, Shizi, general, prince and others, all of them are unspeakably expensive, all of them are elites of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that it has entered the early winter, the cold north wind brings a chill, and everything in heaven and earth is in a state of gloom, a silence, a desert. It makes people deeply realize the power of God, but no matter how cold the north wind is, it can't break through the majestic Cui Mansion: it sings and dances freely, warm and ambiguous like spring, so lively.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes, everyone's interest came.

At the suggestion of no one else, everyone immediately reached a consensus that it was the favorite poem of the literati. An old prince who was a little drunk took off a royal dragon pattern jade pendant as a color pendant in public, and as soon as this jade pendant came out, many pretentious people with a few taels of ink in their stomachs were like hungry wolves. Both eyes emitted green light, staring at the jade pendant.

This jade pendant. It was worn by Li Er today. Because the old prince made a miraculous feat, he was happy for a while, and took it off his waist on the spot to reward him, in everyone's words, the jade is not only a rare and rare jade in the world, but also transparent and warm. The view is like autumn water, touching the flesh and being ambiguous, and because Li Er has worn it, it has been stained with a lot of luxury. Pinned to the waist, it's not your average scenery.

"Old prince, please come up with the question."

"Yes, Lord Wang, please propose."

"I'm a little impatient."

A few anxious young talents were a little anxious waiting for this generous old prince to come up with the question, it was very simple, he was the prince, the emperor's relatives, here he has a high status, a high seniority, and a noble status, plus this is what he took out to make a color, and he should also be out of the question.

"Okay, okay, then the king will come up with one at random, well, let me think about it, what is good." The old prince was obviously a little drunk, and his speech was a little unfavorable.

"Lord, wait!" In the crowd, someone suddenly spoke up to stop him.

Everyone heard the words and followed the sound to look for, only to see a beautiful young man wearing sword eyebrows and starry eyes, gorgeously dressed and graceful, everyone recognized that this is the son of Taiyuan Wang, named Wang Zichen, this son is known as the most outstanding young person of Taiyuan Wang, is regarded as the new hope of Taiyuan Wang, this son has four books and five classics, reciting it like a stream, not only writes a good poem, the article is full of flowers, but also proficient in music, drawing, and also has a deep attainment in chess, and is also regarded as the leader of the younger generation.

The old prince obviously recognized Wang Zichen and admired him, and he was not angry when he heard the words, but said with a smile: "Zichen, what do you propose?" ”

Everyone also quieted down, I don't know what this Wang Zichen is going to do, an event that was originally lively and lively, he was interrupted all of a sudden, and he felt a little unhappy, but his status is special, and he is likely to become the next head of the Wang family, even the old prince admires him, and everyone is naturally not good at saying anything.

It's just that Cui Jing felt a hint of a premonition that was not very good.

Wang Zichen smiled slightly, pretending to be mysterious: "It's better than poetry, but there is a very important person missing here, if he doesn't come, the taste will be much worse." ”

"Brother Wang, who is so important?"

"yes, let's compare a poem or something, you don't have to be in attendance, right?"

"That's it, that's it."

Everyone was talking, and even the old prince couldn't help asking, "Who is this person and why is it so important?" ”

"Liu Yuan" Wang Zichen said loudly: "If this person doesn't come, it will definitely be a big pity."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Wang Zichen glanced at Cui Jing and continued:

"It is estimated that many people have not woken up for a while, then I will introduce it, it is the groom of this wedding banquet, Uncle Cui's Chenglong fast son-in-law, Yangzhou three absolutes, everyone is no stranger to him, that is, he is from his hands, even my first talent in the north, Xu brother Xu Jiudou, also defeated under him, with his own strength, he suppressed my entire northern scholars, today is the great joy of the Qinghe Cui family, many northern scholars, children of seven clans and five surnames, also gathered here, how can you not find him for advice, what to say, nor shall I fall into the prestige of my northern son. ”

Seven clans and five surnames, five surnames, and seven families, namely Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng and Taiyuan Wang, are the representatives of the Tianxia Shi clan, and in terms of location, they are indeed all located in the north.

Wang Zichen's words suddenly pulled Liu Yuan to the cusp of public criticism.

"Uncle Cui, so many relatives and friends are here, we want to invite Brother Liu to come out and have a look, I don't know what your old man means?" Wang Zichen's eyes flashed, and he asked respectfully. (To be continued.) )
