Chapter 58: Gathering (May)
No one expected Zheng Ying to stand up and say goodbye to leave, but since this stranger was leaving, Mu Tieyi and Mu Hongshang would definitely not stay, after saying goodbye, Zheng Ying really didn't say a word to the Mu family brothers and sisters, turned around and left, it was really a bit like having rested enough.
Mu Tieyi, who had not exchanged his name with this stranger, looked at Zheng Ying and disappeared on the gravel road before turning around, winking at his sister, and asking, "Hongshang, who is that person?" ”
"I don't know." Mu Tieyi didn't expect that his sister really shook her head: "He didn't say, I didn't ask, and he didn't ask me what my surname was." ”
I didn't introduce myself, and I didn't ask where my sister came from? Isn't it really passing by? Mu Tieyi squinted his eyes slightly, still having a doubt or two, and then carefully asked what the stranger had done and said here.
Mu Hongsheng is very honest and has to answer all questions, and there is nothing to hide! But obviously, Mu Tieyi was even more confused when he heard the big string of unreliable topics such as hibiscus, roses, osmanthus cakes, and rose cakes.
He raised his head and looked at the lotus leaf who was standing quietly behind Mu Hongsheng with an inquiring face, and the lotus leaf immediately nodded and replied with a smile: "Second young master, it is true that as Miss said, that person and Miss just talked a few words, when the young master came over, Miss and he were chatting about osmanthus cake and rose cake." In fact, the man didn't say a few words to the young lady, and most of the time, he just sat quietly and drank tea. ”
"That's fine." Mu Tieyi nodded, turned around directly and patted the back of his sister's head: "Let's not stay here, go back to the guest house, and wait to sit down with my father and mother." ”
"Oh!" Mu Hongshang was obviously a little disappointed, she thought that there were fewer people in the garden, and her brother would take her around again, but Mu Hongshang did not complain, but stood up obediently and followed her brother back to the guest house.
Sure enough, as the little maid who added tea to the Mu Hongshang brothers and sisters said before, it was not early to hold a banquet in Prince Li's Mansion on this day, and it was close to noon when the maid hurriedly came to the guest house to invite An Guogong's family to sit down.
Prince Li's birthday banquet was a big feast, there was no banquet for men and women, and I don't know how many tables were opened, An Guogong's family was taken all the way to the Bishui Pavilion opposite the Linglong Building.
The chairman of the Bishui Pavilion naturally sat the five princes and the six princes, and on the other seats, there were several family members of the court's powerful ministers, as well as several clansmen with important status. Prince Li's wife and Cheng'en County King and his wife accompanied the banquet in Bishui Pavilion, and the rest of Prince Li's mansion were not eligible to enter Bishui Pavilion.
Although there are only a few families, there are a lot of people, and the whole Bishui Pavilion is lively, because it is to pay homage to the birthday, everyone is beaming, only Xie Shurou's face is slightly stiff.
That's right, Xie Shurou can't be happy at all, the Bishui Pavilion in Prince Li's Mansion is indeed quite big, but there are male protagonist Zheng Jin, male supporting Zheng Ying, female protagonist Gu Yilan, vicious female supporting No. 1 She Xie Shurou, vicious female supporting No. 2 Li Yunzheng, and the first auxiliary prime minister of the dynasty, Lin Xiang's family, and there is also a polite and handsome young man, who looks a little familiar with the male protagonist and the male protagonist, Xie Shurou heard others call him "King of Rongkang County".
King of Rongkang County?? That's not the heroine Gu Yilan's scumbag ex-husband in her previous life!! He's got mixed in, it's not messy enough!! Xie Shurou hung her head, as if she was obediently following behind her father, but in fact, she really wanted to run away.
Not only is the king of Rongkang County troublesome, but in fact, Lin Xiang's family is also very worried about Xie Shurou. Lin Xiang and his wife, with the second master of the Lin family and his wife, as well as Lin Zhiting, the eldest son of the second master, and Lin Mingyue, the second daughter.
Lin Haoting, needless to say, this kind of good man with a good background, good looks, good personality, ability and talent is a ready-made affectionate male partner for the heroine, although his sense of presence in the original plot is not strong, but every time he appears, he is selfless and dedicated to the heroine.
And this Lin Mingyue is currently sixteen years old, already engaged, and is not one of the vicious female partners in the future, but this is actually not a good thing.
Because Lin Mingyue is not the passer-by A in the original novel, but a famous and surnamed female partner, although she is not a vicious female partner, but she is her Xie Shurou's nemesis, Xie Shurou in the book ended up so miserable, and it is not unrelated to Lin Mingyue.
Lin Mingyue is a supporting role with very few scenes, so Xie Shurou is not impressed by the details about her, she only remembers that Lin Mingyue's father-in-law is a friend of the sixth prince Zheng Jin, who is it exactly...... Forgot. But it doesn't matter if you forget, Xie Shurou knows that since Lin Mingyue has been engaged, she should know who she is ordering to, and she can ask casually when she goes home.
What worries Xie Shurou is not the future, but the present. The female protagonist, the male protagonist, the villain male partner, the affectionate male partner, the scumbag in the previous life, the vicious female partner No. 1, the vicious female partner No. 2, plus her plot rivals gathered together, making Xie Shurou feel that the place of Bishui Pavilion could not be more dangerous, and she didn't want to stay for a minute.
But...... Xie Shurou frowned a little puzzled while being nervous. In the original plot, did Gu Yilan meet the male protagonist on such an occasion? No, right......
She remembered that it was actually Zheng Ying who met Gu Yilan first, and in the year when Gu Yilan and Lu were together, they traveled to the lake with their sisters to enjoy the spring, and met Zheng Ying, the fifth prince with the pseudonym Xie Ying.
Handsome men and beauties met by the lake, of course, the scene was beautiful and harmonious, Zheng Ying fell in love with Gu Yilan at first sight, and Gu Yilan also had a good impression of the handsome Zheng Ying.
However, the heroine is the male protagonist, so Gu Yilan's impression of Zheng Ying is only good, but the heroine's sister Gu Yizhu is a little miserable, she fell in love with Zheng Ying at first sight, and then became a vicious female partner.
Speaking of which, this Gu Yizhu is also her Xie Shurou's opponent, thinking of this, Xie Shurou couldn't help but want to roll her eyes. It is understandable that the competition targets are all the five princes Zheng Ying!
As for the male protagonist Zheng Jin, Xie Shurou clearly remembered that the first time they met was in the palace, and the flower viewing banquet held by the queen mother herself, almost all the sons and young ladies of the right age in Beijing were invited, like an official blind date meeting, Zheng Jin saw Gu Yilan for the first time was at the flower viewing banquet.
So what's wrong? Xie Shurou frowned suspiciously. Why did the male and female protagonists meet for the first time on such an occasion? It's not at all the same as what was written in the original book.
Could it be because ...... Although the female protagonist and the male protagonist and the villain male partner have met before, they have not entered each other's eyes?? So the flower viewing banquet and the lake tour are the first sights?? Can't you?!
Xie Shurou secretly glanced at the brothers who were sitting in the guest of honor position, like luminous bodies, and then secretly glanced at Gu Yilan, who was standing in the crowd with dazzling beauty. These people are so eye-catching, how can they ignore the past......
