Chapter 545: Honoring the Happy Days We Have Gone
"Your Majesty, Weichen met General Song yesterday and had a very happy conversation. Knowing that General Song was going to leave Beijing on the same day, he invited General Song to the mansion to see off the general, but he didn't expect the emperor to arrive today, which really flattered Weichen. ”
Hu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Really?" Zhu Di asked, and Song Sheng hurriedly nodded yes.
"In that case, let's go in."
Zhu Di didn't bother to care, he didn't plan to come to the Nameless Mansion today, but he found that he had been coming to Nanjing for more than a month, and he hadn't come to Hu Ye's Mansion to go around, so he made a whim to earn a circle.
Song Sheng wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, it was really scary just now, people said that a companion is like a tiger, and sure enough, fortunately, he was about to leave Nanjing.
So Hu Ye also followed Zhu Di into the Nameless Mansion, felt a strange look behind him, turned his head, and found Yingxue's eyes looking through the autumn water.
Now Yingxue has also grown up, sixteen-year-old eyes, it can be said that it is seductive, I heard Zhang Fu say that when he was in Beiping, there were many people who pursued it, but Zhang Fu broke his legs, saying that his sister already had a mother-in-law, so those people died of this heart.
Thinking about Yingxue's lovesickness in the past few years, Hu Ye also felt guilty in his heart, when he left Beiping, he promised Yingxue to go back to see her, but in the end it didn't come true.
He really wanted to hold Yingxue in his arms now, but how could he be shameless in front of so many people, and other girls' families would still live.
However, in addition to Yingxue's eyes, Hu Ye also saw another excited look, there was Xianning, this girl really said the same as Zhu Di, after all these years, she still didn't forget herself, looking at her eyes, she couldn't swallow herself.
Glancing at Xianning, Hu Ye quickly turned his head. It was even more certain of the idea of sending Song Ying to Xianning.
Entering the courtyard, Zhu Di saw a strange chess game, and when he asked, he knew that it was a chess game exchanged by soldiers, and on a whim, he wanted to kill someone for a game.
Now no one dares to play chess with Zhu Di, if he loses, he says that he has no skills, and he doesn't dare to win him, otherwise the emperor will lose face.
"What? Don't you dare to play chess with me? Zhu Di fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand and looked up at the people standing around.
"The emperor's chess skills are outstanding, and Weichen and others are willing to bow down." Zhang Fu also learned to pat on the back at this time. However, this sycophant seems to be shooting at a very bad time, and Zhu Di really wants to play chess now.
"Your Majesty, General Zhengnan's son's chess skills are outstanding, you might as well let him play more of the emperor's game."
Hu Ye suddenly said that it was time for Song Ying to come out and show her face.
When Song Sheng heard this, he was almost not angry with Hu Ye, his son didn't know yet, and he knew that it was just like walking the field and the horse, and he was also excellent in chess. It's not a sycophant, it's pushing his son into the fire pit.
Song Ying is also sincerely afraid, his chess skills are a mess, how can he compete with Zhu Di. Isn't Hu Ye cheating on him?
"Your Majesty, the dog is not good at chess, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the emperor happy." Song Sheng hurriedly stood up, if he really let his son play the chess game. It's too late.
"How can General Song be so modest, Ling Lang is a talent, and his chess skills are even better. is the dragon and phoenix among people, and now the emperor lacks an opponent, how can he hide it? ”
Hu Ye said very strictly, making Song Sheng so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he hated to pinch Hu Ye to death, but now that Zhu Di was in front of him, he had no way at all.
"Haha, then let me see Ling Lang's chess skills."
Zhu Di looked at Hu Ye with a smile, he couldn't see that Hu Ye was playing tricks, he invited Song Sheng to the Nameless Mansion to see him off for no reason, and he happened to bring his son, and it happened that today he was going to bring Xianning and them, so coincidentally, there was only one possibility, that is, Hu Ye, this kid deliberately arranged it.
He wanted to see how this Song Ying was, and why Hu Ye would pull him out as a scapegoat.
When Zhu Di rearranged the chess game, Song Ying couldn't help but go out.
So Song Ying had no choice but to step forward with a hint of trepidation and sit in front of the chessboard, "Your Majesty, Weichen's chess skills are not good, if there is a mistake, please don't blame the emperor." ”
Zhu Di looked at Song Ying in front of him, if he was based on his appearance alone, he would indeed be better than Hu Ye.
"It's okay, there are no kings and ministers on the chess game, you and I are opponents today, just fight."
Zhu Di laughed, and then took the lead in the start, which was immediately the second and five draws, which was the most common opening, although Song Ying's chess skills were not very good, but this kind of beginning could still be handled, and it was immediately Ma two into three.
Then it was only when they saw the moves, and everyone found out that Song Ying's bad chess skills were on par with Zhu Di.
Song Sheng was surprised, what was going on? His son's usual chess skills are a mess, why is he playing chess with Zhu Di today like a god?
The corners of Hu Ye's mouth twitched, because he could see that it was not Song Ying's chess skills that had improved, but Zhu Di was deliberately releasing water.
Xu Miaoyin took Xianning, An Cheng and Yingxue to chat next to her, it was obvious that Xianning and Yingxue's minds were not on chatting, and their eyes never left Hu Ye.
Xu Miaoyin saw these in her eyes, but she was helpless in her heart, as early as when Hu Ye was still in Beiping, she and Zhu Di did think about recruiting Hu Ye as a son-in-law, but later after knowing about Hu Ye and Yingxue, his concept also changed a little bit, and it was impossible for his daughter to marry as a concubine, so he could only let Xianning give up this thought.
"General Song, how old is Ling Lang?"
Xu Miaoyin suddenly asked Song Sheng.
Song Sheng was flattered at the moment, but he didn't expect the queen to ask in person, so he quickly replied, "Queen Qiqi, the dog is twenty and one this year." ”
"Well, yes, young and promising." Xu Miaoyin nodded with satisfaction.
Song Sheng was confused, why did the emperor find his son to play chess today, and the queen also praised his son? Looking at the group of beautiful princesses beside the queen, and then thinking about the great creation that Hu Ye said before, suddenly it suddenly became enlightened.
This Hu Ye sent his son's great creation, not to these old men as apprentices, but to let his son be a concubine!
"General!"
While Song Sheng was still thinking about it, Zhu Di laughed loudly, and then with an afterthought, Song Ying was checkmated.
"The emperor's chess skills are exquisite, and Weichen admires him."
Song Ying is not a fool, knowing that she can hold on to Zhu Di for so long, it must be Zhu Di who has released water.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've been so comfortable."
Zhu Di stood up, stretched his waist, and glanced at Hu Ye, as if to say that I am so cooperative with you, if you can't do it again, then there is no way.
Hu Ye turned his head to look at Xianning and found that she hadn't noticed Song Ying at all, only to realize that she was busy in vain. However, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyin got to know Song Ying, and it seems that these two are still quite satisfied with Song Ying, which can be regarded as a little gain, as long as they help Song Ying win Xianning within a year, it can be regarded as a complete merit.
A moment later, the tables in the courtyard had been set up, and there were five tables.
However, the arrangement of this table is a big problem, because there are all big people present, and no one can be left out in the cold.
In the end, the seats were arranged according to their seniority, and Zhu Di and his wife were also arranged at a table with Zhang Yu, Song Sheng and the group of old men, and as for Zhu Gaochi, they were also at the same table with Hu Ye, Song Ying and others.
In the past, Laifu and Zou Kai and others could still eat at the table, but now it is different, the Nameless Mansion is already a big family, and it is okay to close the door without rules, but when you open the door, you have to have rules, not to mention that now that the emperor is here, they can only squat in the back kitchen to eat, and even the old money can't be on the table.
The table is assigned, but there is a problem with the personnel arrangement on a table, obviously, now that there is no shackle of the elders, Xianning and Yingxue have to get as close to Hu Ye as possible, and both of them are very arrogant characters on weekdays, Zhang Fu can't manage Yingxue, and Zhu Gaochi can't control Xianning, so they just glanced at Hu Ye, who had a headache, and stopped talking, this is Hu Ye's own sin, let him solve it himself.
To say that the person at this table, the lowest status, that is, Song Ying, naturally seems a little restrained, how could Hu Ye snub Song Ying, to be precise, Song Ying is the protagonist today, so he got him to his left, which happened to be sandwiched between him and Xianning.
"I'm optimistic about you."
Hu Ye whispered in Song Ying's ear, then glanced at Xianning next to him, and then lowered his head to eat.
Song Ying didn't know what was going on now, but seeing that Xianning's face was a little unsightly, she said with great concern, "Princess Xianning is unwell?" Lou Ying's two seniors are over there, do you want to go down and invite them over? ”
The chicken leg that Hu Ye had just fed into his mouth fell into the bowl, and then slammed on Song Ying's foot, you two stunned! Can you be a little more stupid? We don't know how you got into Xianning in history.
Xianning ignored Song Ying, but glared at Hu Ye next to him, whether he hated it or resented it, Hu Ye couldn't say clearly, he didn't have time to confirm, because his thigh had been pinched by Yingxue.
"Brother Hu, what are you stepping on me for?"
Before Hu Ye could scream, he saw Song Ying ask in a daze.
Hu Ye endured the pain in his thighs and patted Song Ying's shoulder, but there was a lot of bitterness in his heart, "You are stunned, you don't talk to a beautiful princess next to you, what is the matter with talking to me." ”
As soon as he thought of dealing with Xianning and Song Ying in the future, Hu Ye was very upset.
Taking away Yingxue's hand on his thigh, Hu Ye picked up the cup in front of him, raised it, and said loudly, "Come, pay tribute to our happy days that have passed." ”
Everyone didn't understand what Hu Ye meant by this, but they all picked up the wine glass and poured it down in one go, as for whether the wine glass was wine or water, only they knew it. (To be continued......)
