Chapter 1076 Changping County Lord 33
Changing into a treasure robe, Xining fanned himself vigorously with a fan: "This hot ghost weather!" ”
Jing'er didn't dare to say, this treasure robe has six layers inside and out, and it will be too bulky to wear in autumn, but of course it is hot to wear now.
Turning his head, he instructed: "Put another ice basin at the county lord's table." ”
After wearing the treasure robe, he needed to tie his hair and wear a golden crown on his head, and Xining sat down. I can't help but complain in my heart, it's really that struggle is everywhere, and holding a banquet in such a small county town will become a moth.
But she was waiting for this opportunity, and she had already told Steward Xiao that if 12,000 yuan didn't have so much money, the reserve price would be 10,000 taels of silver.
Red coral is useless except to look good. When the Xiongnu attacked the city, they could not throw it down and smash people. Even if you can hit it, it would be too extravagant to smash people with something of 10,000 taels of silver, and if you change it to a stone, you can bury the enemy.
What is lacking now is money, and there are many things that need money. At present, the granary is full, even if it is hard to make money, the treasury silver still goes to a point. There are so many things that I haven't bought yet! Know that wine is more expensive than grain.
When the golden crown full of golden steps was put on the left and right, a house slave came back to report that Xiuyan, the criminal maid brought by the Wang family, had been sent to the Wang family.
That's good, we can't let this slave die, it doesn't count if she dirties her mansion, and she will end up in a lawsuit for her life. Speaking of which, the county lord forced people to death, and it was spread to the palace, and maybe there were a few officials who wanted to participate in it.
Well, it's time to go to the banquet. After all, these guests' parents spent so much money to support the show, and she should also support the scene as the host.
Along the way, Xining saw from time to time that the surroundings seemed to be calm, but in fact, the security work was complete. For example, the two maids standing under the porch by the lake, those two can swim, and the water is very good.
There are also the guards hiding in the trees and on the roof, and if they see something wrong, they will immediately jump down.
Don't underestimate these boudoir women, in fact, sometimes they fight harder than men.
Before he entered the banquet hall, someone inside shouted: "The county lord of Changping has arrived!" ”
The corners of Xining's mouth hooked, in order to sympathize with the orphan girl, the king of Qinling had such a descendant left, so he raised the first order and sealed the county princess. Otherwise, it should be called the county lord.
She walked in slowly, without squinting, walked to her position and turned around again, facing the guests who were saluting her on the left and right, and turned her sleeves out: "No courtesy, please sit!" ”
"Xie County Lord!" Everyone turned and sat on their knees.
This time, the men on the left and the women on the right, separated by several screens in the middle. The screen is semi-transparent and faint, and only vaguely visible figures can be seen, but it has also satisfied the curiosity of these young boys and girls.
They looked sideways and froze. I saw that the princess of Changping County did not use a kneeling posture, but used a small pestle.
No wonder there is a small pestle next to each seat, which was originally thought to be used to rely on the hand or something, but it was originally used to sit.
Even if it is a banquet in the palace, the kings and ministers rejoice together, and they sit on their knees. When the host and the guests are drunk, they will sit on their sides, where is there a small stool to entertain the guests.
This is a bit strange, but the county lord is still wearing a treasure robe and a golden crown at this time. I saw that the county lord's eyebrows and eyes were upright, beautiful and abnormal, just like the characters in the painting. And Emei is slightly raised, which looks a little heroic.
It is said that the king of Qinling is both civil and military, and he can participate in politics with a pen and a gun. When I saw the county lord today, I knew that this matter was true.
is this kind of contradictory temperament that is not in line with etiquette but does not lose its majesty and domineering, which makes it a little difficult to look at directly.
Well, the county lord may like to sit on a small pestle, or the county lord has injured his knee or leg for the past two days and can't sit on his knees.
Xining gestured to Jing'er, and Jing'er clapped her hands. Someone next to him immediately shouted: "Go to music and dance!" ”
The sheng blows, and the six dancers, dressed in tulle, go to the water pavilion and begin to dance to the melodious music.
Every Gaomen mansion will raise some dancing girls, and the King of Han sent more than a dozen dancers when the prince of Qinling was thirteen years old, with superb martial arts and first-class appearance.
The prince of Qinling studied hard every day and let it go in vain. The owner usually has nothing to do, even if no one cares, he can't go out at will, so he brought her to watch and play.
After the son "died of illness", she was directly counted as hers. This time, I naturally brought it together.
This is a song and dance in the palace, and these young ladies naturally watched it with great interest.
Xining looked left and right, and Zhang Liao was sitting in the male guest. The county magistrate of Zhou, who recommended himself, left without taking five taels of silver in the end.
It turns out that he didn't marry either, look, he was wearing a white satin coat, although the clothes were embroidered with complicated auspicious cloud patterns, he was still white. It's really a sassy bag, and it's filial piety.
In the women's seat, of course, the second lady of County Magistrate Zhou sat first, the third lady second, and the fourth lady was in the seat behind them. In this way, the priorities are orderly, and Steward Xiao's arrangement is quite good.
Xining's eyes were sharp, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the maid sitting behind a pillar, holding a brush and bamboo in her hand, looking at the movement around her.
In the past two months, she has found out these secret stakes and secret agents sent from all over the house in the house.
In fact, she didn't expect her to be so observant. Last time, I only swept it, and I saw this maid hiding in the corner. After calling people out, she went over to check it out for herself, and under the hibiscus tree, she found a brush and a piece of bamboo.
She picked up the bamboo piece with a little ash and looked at it, and it was painted with the appearance of talking to Steward Xiao in the courtyard just now: "Yo, the painting is really delicate." ”
The maid knelt on the ground and said humbly: "The slave maid just likes to paint, and when she saw that the county lord was as beautiful as an immortal, she couldn't help but draw it." offended the county lord and asked the county lord to punish him. ”
"What to punish, how dare I punish." Xining smiled and took the bamboo piece and played it over and over in his hand: "Don't lie to me that I don't understand, this shouldn't be a casual drawing." ”
The maid looked up and saw Xining's smiling face, and her heart fluttered.
Does it look like you're going to take poison?
Xining raised her hand and pinched both of her cheeks, making her bite her teeth: "Oh, don't worry, I haven't finished yet." After that, what do you want to do, do you still think that I am going to arrest you and torture you to extract a confession? ”
The maid and the people around her were stunned, and the county took the initiative and reacted really quickly.
"I don't ask who sent you, there are not many other people sent here, and I have about the most here, anyway, the tethered stone at the door of my yard is probably mine." Xining watched the maid's gaze gradually calm down, and slowly let go of her hand.
Looking at the few maids behind the county lord and Steward Xiao, some of them showed slightly unnatural expressions...... The maid agrees with this sentence very much, it seems that the county lord knows that the county lord is not stupid.
She asked cautiously, "Dare to ask the county lord what to do with me?" ”
