Chapter 158: It's Hard for Him (Third Update)
Chen Huayue also looked down on Chen Ge's reluctant appearance, but she didn't dare to show it openly, and said with a bright smile: "Madam is really as magnanimous as the rumors say." ”
When she said the word rumors, she deliberately paused and glanced at Chen Ge with a slight raised eyebrow, obviously connotating the rumors that have been spreading these days.
Who here hadn't heard of these rumors, and they all immediately understood, that is, they deliberately restrained, and they couldn't help but feel weird when they looked at Chen Ge's gaze.
Chen Ge laughed a little angrily.
Rumors have always been believed by those who believe, and those who do not believe do not believe.
It seems that in the eyes of these people, her image at this time is as ridiculous as in the rumors.
She looked around faintly, and was about to continue walking, but her eyes suddenly swept to a person, which made her movements pause.
It was a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, sitting behind Chen Huayue, because it was hidden in the darkness and was inconspicuous.
However, if you look closely, you will find that one of his eyes has been looking at her fixedly like some kind of predator, sharp and gloomy, as if with a faint confusion and incomprehension.
That person must be Chen Wenxuan, the son-in-law born to the original spouse of the Chen family in Jizhou.
Chen Ge just glanced at him, then withdrew his eyes, and a smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The old servants and servants who led her were afraid that something would happen again, so they were extremely vigilant and cautious all the way, and finally brought her to the edge of the main seat smoothly, pointed to the seat set up at the bottom right of Wei Yuan, and said, "Madam, please take a seat." ”
Chen Ge nodded, and as soon as he sat down, Song Zhipeng, who was sitting in the first seat in the row on the left, immediately stood up and gave Chen Ge a solemn salute: "I've seen Madame!" ”
Fang Cai's matter almost scared his heart out of his throat! He didn't know what the hell the lord and his wife were doing, but he had seen the two of them get along with his own eyes the day before yesterday, so he didn't know what the real situation was?!
This banquet was hosted by him, and if he really let his wife suffer any grievances at the banquet, he would not be able to eat and walk around when the lord was held accountable in the future.
But...... He didn't dare to act on his own, but he was afraid that the lord and his wife would have some deep meaning in it, and the result of suffering for most of the day was how humble and humble his posture should be at this time, and how loud and loud his voice should be in saluting.
The other people present were slightly stunned, but it was only necessary to salute Mrs. Yanhou, and they didn't think much about it, they stood up and saluted one after another: "I've seen Madame, Madame Wanfu!" ”
Chen Ge smiled a little restrainedly, conscientiously playing the role of a weak and pitiful little white flower in the cold winter, and said, "No courtesy." ”
From beginning to end, the man sitting in the main seat did not say a word, not even cast a glance at the woman in the lower right.
Everyone sat down one after another, but the thoughts in their hearts changed several times.
Chang Dongyang, who was on the side, raised his eyes and glanced at her, suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have to toast Mrs. a cup no matter what today."
At the beginning, I was trapped in Changzhou due to the smallpox epidemic, if it wasn't for my wife, I don't know if I can stand here today, please Mrs. - enjoy your face! ”
Seeing that the young owner of the Dongyang Chang family thanked Mrs. Yanhou so solemnly, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly exchanged a look.
Although the Chang family is just a merchant, who will not get along with the money? The people of their own family can look down on the Chang family, but they don't have that capital.
It is rumored that although the young owner of the Chang family has always been kind and smooth in business, he is a little arrogant, and he has never seen him soft on anyone.
However, at this time, he looked at Mrs. Yan Hou's demeanor, clearly with respect from his bones!
Many people immediately made a judgment in their hearts, and several middle-aged men also stood up after him, raised the wine glass in their hands with a smile and said, "Mrs. Junhou is extremely smart and has profound medical skills, which is really admirable!" A certain also toasts Mrs. with a cup, please Mrs. Grace face! ”
Those people, as you can see at a glance, are figures at the level of the heads of various families.
With their statement, no matter how big the prejudice against Chen Ge was, the rest of the people present had to completely put it away.
Chang Dongyang's move reminded them that this was a celebration banquet to celebrate the resolution of the smallpox epidemic in Changzhou, and Mrs. Yanhou was one of the protagonists of this celebration banquet, which they could not deny in any case.
Chen Ge glanced at Chang Dongyang with some surprise, and seeing that he was just looking at her with a faint smile, he couldn't help but smile lowly, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Thank you, please take a seat." ”
As he spoke, he took a slight sip of the liquor in the cup and put the cup down.
At this time, Zhong Niang, who was guarding beside her, said in a low voice: "Madam, look, the person sitting in the middle of the left hand side is the person from the Wang family. ”
Chen Ge subconsciously glanced over there, the order of this seat seemed to be arranged according to the status of these families in Dachu, and the Wang family could be ranked in the middle, and it seemed that the status was not low.
And the Chen family, who is just now, is almost at the end of the right-hand side.
It's just that Chen Ge didn't expect that when she looked at the past, what caught her eye in an instant was a woman in yellow who was looking at her with a look of jealousy and resentment.
Sensing her look, she immediately lowered her head slightly, avoiding her gaze.
Chen Ge secretly raised his eyebrows.
The woman is beautiful and graceful, and she is an undeniable beauty.
It's just that she thinks she has no grievances with her, she doesn't even know who she is, why does she look at her like that?
Zhong Niang naturally saw the woman's eyes, frowned, and leaned into Chen Ge's ear and said, "Madam, that's Wang Suyun, the seventh mother of the Wang family."
The slave heard that the people of the Wang family intended to marry her to Chang Lang Jun, who expected that Chang Lang Jun would not even want to see them, obviously he didn't look down on this Wang Qi Niang at all, after this matter spread out, the people of the people were watching Wang Qi Niang's jokes! ”
Chen Ge was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly to look at Zhong Niang, Zhong Niang pursed her lips and said: "Madame knows that slaves like to inquire about these things on weekdays, because Madame doesn't like to listen, and slaves are not in front of Madame."
This Wang Suyun likes to take a group of sisters to wander the street on weekdays, and when the slave went out to buy, he saw her a few times, and then he recognized her.
Chen Shiniang, who didn't know the height of the sky, was one of her sisters, and the slave had seen her a few times.
Snort, she looked like she was beside Wang Qiniang, as if she wanted to become Wang Qiniang's slave and stammered her. ”
Because the status of the Wang family in Dachu is not low, Wang Qiniang has always been arrogant, and was rejected by Chang Langjun without giving face, and the blow in her heart can be seen.
Seeing that Chang Langjun respected his wife so much, he didn't feel at it for a while, so he looked at his wife like that.
Hmph, it's a pity that no matter how much she looks at it, she is destined to not be able to catch up with their wife!
Chen Ge couldn't help but look at Zhong Niang with amusement, the scope of their chatting on weekdays was really extensive.
However, Wang Qiniang actually became good friends with Chen Shiniang...... This Jizhou city is indeed not big.
She quietly looked at the seat of the Wang family again, and saw that there were four young Langjun sitting there, three of whom were sitting in the back row.
Wang Jiulang is a concubine, so it is impossible to sit in the first row, but I don't know which of the three is Wang Jiulang.
Because of the toast at the beginning, no one dared to embarrass Chen Ge in the following banquet, and this celebration banquet could be regarded as going smoothly.
During the banquet, Chen Ge had been secretly paying attention to the man beside him, seeing that he had a calm face all night, and there was a cold light in the corners of his eyes, obviously holding back his anger.
I can't help but feel a little distressed and a little funny, this night, it is really difficult for him.
However, even Chen Ge restrained himself from drinking, and in the middle of the banquet, he still felt a little too much, so he quickly stood up and took Zhong Niang and Lan Yi to the courtyard to disperse the wine.
After all, this place is not as good as Changzhou, if she gets drunk again, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Although the courtyard of the city guard mansion is not as big as the Yanhou Mansion, it is much more exquisite than the Yanhou Mansion, it is said that Song Zhipeng was originally an official in the south, and later transferred to Jizhou, so the courtyard of the city guard mansion has a bit of the gentleness of the southern courtyard.
Chen Ge walked among them, and occasionally he could only see guards standing guard and patrolling, because most of the servants had been transferred to the flower hall to serve the guests, and even a few servants had not been seen.
She walked slowly for a while, and then she felt that the heat on her face had subsided, and she was about to turn her head and tell Zhong Niang to go back, when Lin Yi, who was following them, suddenly changed her face and whispered to Chen Ge: "Madam, someone is coming!" ”
Chen Ge paused, only to realize that she had unconsciously walked into a deep and silent path.
The trail was lined with potted plants and rockeries on all sides, and the guards stood far away, and although they could see the situation, they could not be heard in the voice.
couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were slightly condensed.
I see, it's a great place to talk.
