Chapter 121: The Distinguished Guests Have Arrived
Tang Xuanlin saw Bu Tong's thoughts, and got up neatly,
"Let's go and see."
Bu Tong was pleased, and took a step forward in the direction of the front hall, and sure enough, it was much more lively than the other side, Lie Zhanhu was a refreshing character, and he was very close to the court after a few words, and the two laughed loudly.
Lie Zhanhu was followed by a major general and two princes on the left bank, and such a lineup inevitably attracted the attention of the guests.
I only heard the heroic laughter on the side of my ear, and Bu Tong stepped forward with a smile,
"I heard the excitement here from afar, and when I looked closely, what the little guy said was right, and it was really General Lie's arrival."
Lie Zhanhu turned his head and looked at it, his face was full of cheerfulness, "It was originally Xiao Atong, but now that she is the mother of the county lord, she is extra stable, haha, it's a good thing, it's a good thing." ”
Bu Tong really couldn't figure out how a very angry person like Lie Zhanhu, who was not afraid of the world's eyes, would want to participate in the struggle for imperial power.
Bu Tong smiled and greeted everyone,
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, General Lie, thank you General Lie for your praise, if you can really calm down, my father will also feel at ease."
Lie Zhanhu looked at Bu Tong with a smile in his eyes, tilted his head and said to Bu Tingzhong, "In the end, I have grown up, when I met her in the past, she was as free and chic as a man." ”
This is a very chic compliment, Bu Tong only bowed his head and smiled, after all, there are many guests now, and there are distinguished guests from the palace, so he has to be a little more restrained.
Hearing this, Bu Ting laughed loudly, "Don't be surprised, this little niece of my family is the only one among the children in the family, since they all know each other, it is better to enter the door and sit, there is a south-facing attic on the second floor of the front hall, and it is now being prepared." ”
Lie Zhanhu responded unceremoniously, "If you come, you will go to the banquet, if you don't invite us to sit down, you can't do it." ”
Everyone then talked and laughed into the house, Mu Hewen suddenly stopped and saluted back when he passed by Butong's side, "I had a very happy conversation with my sister of the Bu family a few days ago, and today I heard that the sister of the Bu family is also here, so I asked the general to bring me here, and I can finally say a few more words to my sister." ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that the people sitting around him whispered, even Mu Hesheng, who had always been steady, couldn't help but look back at Butong a few times......
This green tea ......
Bu Tong only felt that the green tendons on his forehead throbbed violently a few times, and unceremoniously opened his mouth to reply,
"Your Highness said this strangely, didn't His Highness remember the past a little out of control last time, and we broke up unhappily?"
mentioned this, and the focus of everyone's discussion began to talk about the rebellion back then.
Bu Tong hooked the corners of his mouth and walked in, not forgetting to mend the knife,
"Besides, His Royal Highness said this very strangely, Bu Tong didn't understand, the last time I was listening to the play with the two young generals, His Royal Highness deliberately broke in, I heard that Xu Ning, who was recommended by His Royal Highness at that time, was really ineffective in Dongchang, and his mind was not right, Lord Tang asked the palace to bring a message to His Highness, your people are really useless, and please bring them back and dispose of them yourself, so as not to bury talents."
These words are really disgusting, everyone looks at Mu Hewen's eyes and began to dislike it, no one knows, that Dongchang is the most meritocracy place today, regardless of origin, regardless of family background, just look at the ability, this Mu Hewen relied on his identity to stuff people in Dongchang, which is really disgraceful.
Butong floated away in a dashing manner, Mu Hewen had to bow his head slightly and follow behind, and the left bank, who had witnessed everything, came to him and whispered, "It's too much, after all, a man is a prince, so many people are watching, and there is no face at all." ”
Bu Tong snorted unceremoniously in his nose, Zuo An pouted and stepped aside, and the Lie Zhan Hu in front also seemed to sense the atmosphere behind him, and glanced back thoughtfully, and then was happily dragged away by the unaware Bu Ting.
Everyone sat down, Bu Tong was down and generous throughout the whole process, and Lie Zhan Hu sat on the main seat and suddenly looked at Bu Tong and spoke,
"Ah Tong, I met Lord Nanguo in the court a few days ago, and I chatted a few words, but I was entrusted with an important matter."
Bu Ting looked at the reactions of everyone present, and hurriedly took over the conversation.
"I'm afraid it's for Tong'er's marriage? The second brother also mentioned it to me, but where is our Changping county lord who is the daughter of the boudoir to be married, I persuaded my brother, Tong'er has his own idea, and now he has been crowned the county lord, why worry about not finding a good Langjun, he is in a hurry, I am afraid that he will only repeat the mistakes of Yu'er. ”
Lie Zhanhu's eyes slowly relaxed, and he said yes again and again, "That's what I mean, if Ah Tong has his own idea, he still has to tell his family as soon as possible, don't hide a lot, and let the family arrange the marriage unknowingly, which is not good." ”
Bu Tong understood in his heart that what Lie Zhanhu meant was nothing more than that although he and Tang Xuanlin were not on the table, he still reminded his father and mother as soon as possible, so as not to get the age, and the family would handle the marriage, and it would be difficult to deal with it at that time.
Mu Hesheng helped Butong out of the siege in time,
"General Lie is really a delicate person, I heard that the northwest border has been very uneven recently, I am afraid that after the Lord of the Northern Kingdom returns from patrolling, General Lie will reorganize the team and set off."
"The border is restless again?" Before Lie Zhanhu could say anything, Mu Hewen suddenly rushed to speak, "That barbarian country really has wolf ambitions!" ”
Lie Zhanhu's favorite, he is really an iron-clad tough guy and a resourceful general, and he is very impressed by this true temperament.
"His Royal Highness is so worried about the border, but he has a bit of the arrogance of His Majesty when he was young."
Bu Tong scratched his head,
"The Northwest Army is now under the orders of General Lie, stationed thirty miles outside the city, and I am afraid that it will not look down on the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Northern Kingdom."
Lie Zhanhu laughed "haha", "As far as your teeth are sharp, you will definitely go to send troops, but now that the military department has made it clear that His Majesty wants to reorganize the military power, I am afraid that I may not be able to bring many soldiers and horses." ”
Bu Yiyang proposed? Isn't this to cut down the people of the Lie Zhanhu to subsidize their own father-in-law?
Bu Tong helplessly held his forehead, smiled decisively and stopped continuing the topic.
The downstairs was full of people, and the attic was getting better, Shi Qing beside Mu Hesheng suddenly came over and whispered to Butong, "County Lord Niangniang, our imperial concubine wants to see you, and she is waiting for the ladies below." ”
Ji Yao?
Bu Tong nodded, raised his eyes to meet Mu Hesheng's warm eyes, and nodded lightly at Bu Tong, Bu Tong got up and pretended to go back to see his father and brother leave the table, under the leadership of Shi Qing, he quickly found Ji Yao sitting alone in a group of chattering women, looking at those long-tongued women who dared to glance at Ji Yao from time to time, how could there be half a bit of respect for the appearance of talking in the ear, and couldn't help but suddenly speak,
"It's Tong'er who is late, and she made Sister Yao wait for so long, she should be punished, but my sister is suffocated here?"
The people at the table were dumb for a moment, and then looked at each other for a moment, and hurriedly got up to salute, Bu Tong waved his hand and looked at this group of people coldly,
"Thank you for accompanying the four princesses to relieve their boredom."
Everyone quietly bowed their heads under Bu Tong's fierce eyes.
Ji Yao hurriedly pulled Butong's sleeve and whispered, "It's okay, let's go, Ah Tong, accompany me to the garden for a walk, I'm accumulating food." ”
Butong didn't give these noble ladies and ladies a good face at all,
"Sister Yao is so good-tempered, she will be bullied among those snobbish nobles in Kyoto City."
An older lady wanted to explain, "The county lord has misunderstood, we are just not familiar with the four imperial concubines, so we really dare not speak rashly, today is also rare to see the fourth imperial concubine on such an occasion, and the imperial concubine is not often ...... on weekdays."
Bu Tong was displeased when he heard this, and interrupted unceremoniously,
"Oh? What this lady means, if this palace heard it correctly, could it be that she is blaming my sister Yao for not going out often to get to know you? ”
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "The lord of the county forgives the sins." ”
Seeing that it was not good, Ji Yao hurriedly pulled Bu Tong away, and did not forget to greet those people before leaving, "Get up." ”
Until the two of them arrived in the courtyard, Bu Tong was still puffing up, but Ji Yao seemed to be fine, but he smiled and poked Bu Tong, "I'm not angry, what do you mind, it's just gossip, if you care about the opinions of others, I'm afraid you will be tired to death." ”
Butong is unwilling,
"Sister Yao, you don't know what those bastards are doing on weekdays!"
Ji Yao shook his head, "Why bother to know, I was from a humble background, and I didn't make friends with them all the way." ”
Bu Tong hurriedly answered,
"What are these words that my sister said?"
Bu Tong saw her holding her big belly, and couldn't help but touch it,
"It's so big, it's almost time to give birth."
Ji Yao's face was filled with a soft light and nodded, "Yes, it's less than a month." ”
Bu Tong looked at her pointed belly seriously, looked up and smiled,
"It must be a son."
Ji Yao glanced at her coquettishly, "You are used to bluffing me like this, how can you understand a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet." ”
Bu Tong grinned and touched it a few more times, "Yes, for sure." ”
It's just that......
Is Ji Yao's belly unusually big, Bu Tong couldn't help but speak,
"Sister Yao, if you want to have a smooth birth in the future, you still have to eat in moderation, your belly is much bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman, and I am afraid that you will suffer when you look back."
Ji Yao smiled warmly, "It's not that you have gained weight in your house, your sister-in-law sends soup to my house for three meals a day, and Mrs. Qi has never broken all kinds of supplements, how can she not be fat, but as long as this child is healthy and strong, she will suffer if she suffers, and women will all have this catastrophe?" ”
Butong was helpless for a moment,
"What kind of theories are these, your reasonable diet of the baby's nutrition is enough, you don't need to grow too fat, and it is difficult to recover in the future."
The thinking mode of the ancients is really backward, Bu Tong looked at Ji Yao's stomach and sighed silently, this kid is really big!
