Chapter 138: Family Affairs
Chen Luo nodded, looking at Wang Xi lying on the wall with a smile, his hair was crooked, and there was a large pink crepe astragalus flower on his sideburns, looking at him playfully, making him worry that the flower would fall, and he wanted to help her.
He twisted his fingers, and finally suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said, "I still owe you a banquet, do you want to go to Baishiqiao for a light meal?" Just to congratulate Liu Zhong on moving to a new place. ”
Wang Xi doesn't have a good impression of Liu Zhong, but he likes Ali.
She said, "What's delicious?" ”
Chen Luo thought for a while and said, "Does calling a flower chicken count?" I recently had a new dish and it felt okay. ”
Wang Xi had never heard of it, and said, "What is called a flower chicken?" ”
"Wrapped in mud with lotus leaves and roasted with pine branches." Chen Luo said, remembering that when he was called to eat by Shi Lei, the ghost called the master to ask how this dish was made, and suddenly a little lucky, "The chicken is stuffed with mushrooms, glutinous rice, mutton, and pepper." ”
Wang Xi thought for a while and said, "This dish must be average." The mutton is so flavorful, it's better to stuff the chicks in the belly of the lamb! ”
Chen Luo laughed and said, "I really made you right." The taste of the chicken is very average, but the glutinous rice and mushrooms stuffed in it are not bad. ”
Wang Xi was immediately interested when he heard this, and said, "We can improve it." This dish was definitely not made by this master, he must have learned it from elsewhere. ”
This Chen Luo didn't ask, but reminded him of other things. He said, "How do you know I'm practicing archery here?" ”
Wang Xi's expression was a little stiff.
Fortunately, there was the cover of the night, and Chen Luo couldn't see it very clearly.
Wang Xi said authentically and said, "Don't I have a clairvoyant mirror?" Miss Wu Er's engagement scared me a lot, and I was anxious to talk to you, but I have to wait until tomorrow. When I was bored, I casually looked at it with a clairvoyant mirror, never thinking that you were practicing arrows here. ”
This flaw caught people off guard, but she was secretly glad in her heart.
Fortunately, he exposed his feet in this situation, and he can explain a thing or two, which shows that Chen Luo didn't know who was spying on him at that time.
Her tense heartstrings relaxed, the smile on her face was extraordinarily sweet, her eyebrows and eyes were a little fluttering, and she immediately wrapped herself tightly, and asked Chen Luo: "It's so late, why are you practicing arrows here?" Isn't this a good time to practice archery? Your hobby is so weird. ”
"Really?" Chen Luo looked at her, a hint of scrutiny flashed in his eyes.
He thought it was someone from the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.
And the biggest suspect in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is Chang San.
He had a good relationship with his eldest brother. And his eldest brother seems to be a little unable to wait.
But he knows Chang San's guts...... There is also the clairvoyant mirror and the nine-ring broadsword that has disappeared......
Chen Luo smiled slightly, remembering that his mother called him to dinner and asked him what kind of girl he wanted to marry.
There were several big black fish swimming under the seemingly calm lake, and the queen's flower banquet was like a boulder thrown into the lake, which aroused a thousand waves, not to mention, but also aroused the ferocity of these big black fish.
All the marriageable princes and meritorious families and powerful families moved, taking the initiative or being forced to join the chase.
His marriage will be no exception.
Originally, he thought that he would marry a well-connected woman at the right age and spend his life in peace.
But when his mother asked him, Wang Xi's ruddy face, smart eyes, and smiling eyes suddenly flashed in his mind.
He didn't know how to answer her mother for a while.
The eldest princess thought that her son was shy, and a little bitterness flashed between her eyebrows, and said: "Linlang, in my life, I can't help myself when I marry for the first time and remarry, while I can still speak in front of the emperor now, you can choose the one you like, she also likes you, whether you are rich or poor, you are willing to accompany the woman beside you as your wife." I don't ask for anything else. ”
From a very young age, he knew that his mother had a face. But neither he nor his mother ever touched on such a topic.
He was very surprised.
The eldest princess's smile added a hint of helplessness to the bitterness, and said: "I married into the Jin family because your uncle was helpless, and even the usual things were deducted. Fortunately, the Jin family is a kind family, and they have fulfilled their responsibilities to me and your uncle.
"As for your father, it was your uncle who begged me to marry.
"At that time, the Bo family was powerful, and the old marquis was a genius, beyond the reach of others. Your uncle didn't want the queen to give birth to a child, but there was an accident, the queen was pregnant and gave birth to a son-in-law.
"It's just that I didn't expect that your father didn't give enough after taking the benefits."
The eldest princess sneered when she said this, but she didn't want to make her son's parents look so unbearable, she endured it and endured it, and didn't say anything more ugly, but said: "No matter what, no matter who you fancy it, I will help you marry it back, you don't have to worry about the emperor and the queen." ”
The implication is that even if he takes a fancy to Miss Wu Er, she has a way to get the Qingping Marquis Mansion to marry Miss Wu Er to him.
But is this marriage so easy?
Who knows who will like whom? Who will accompany whom to grow old together?
Chen Luo was at a loss.
Back to Lu Mingxuan, sitting or standing, originally wanted to come to the bamboo forest to practice swordsmanship, thinking that someone had peeped before, he temporarily changed his bow, thinking that no matter who dared to be sneaky this time, he shot an arrow over, regardless of who he was from the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion?
Or, he thought it too complicated.
This matter has nothing to do with Chen Ying, nor does it have anything to do with the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.
He thought of Wang Xi running to the Zhenwu Temple alone, and thought of her mother's birthday when she recognized Bo Mingyue's nonsense in the grove.
All over the capital, I'm afraid I can't find a girl who is more daring than her, right?
He didn't want to tell her why he practiced archery here, so he said perfunctorily: "I didn't get the thank you gift from the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, and I was a little uncertain." ”
This is more important!
Where did Wang Xi still have the heart to worry about other things with Chen Luo, and said busily: "Miss Wu Er is engaged, and Miss Bo Liu will definitely go too." I'll help you inquire when the time comes! ”
Chen Luo smiled and said, "What can Miss Bo Liu know about such a big matter?" Even if she did, she wouldn't tell you! ”
"What's an inquiry?" Wang Xi said dissatisfiedly, "Of course I asked tactfully, and I spied cautiously." Could it be that I pulled Miss Bo Liu and asked her bluntly if she knew what the queen had done? ”
Chen Luo laughed again, unimpressed by her proposal, and said, "Then I'll wait for Miss Wang's good news." ”
"Look at me!" Wang Xi was full of confidence and climbed down the ladder to go to sleep.
Chen Luo looked at the wall where there was no human figure, and wanted to know very much where his knife went. If he sticks another knife here, will someone pull it out defiantly?

Miss Wu Er's Xiaoding, only Wang Xi and Chang Ke in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion received the invitation, and they were still Miss Wu Er's best friends. The second wife was very angry when she found out, and said in front of Mrs. Tai: "The Qingping Marquis Mansion has become more and more prosperous over the years, and even our family doesn't look at it very much. ”
The seventh wife of the Hou Mansion in Qingping had long expected that some people would be dissatisfied, but she just didn't want to deal with some people, and when she sent someone to send the post, she said: "The man's family is a subordinate of the Hou Ye of our family, and the Hou Ye means that it will not be a big deal, and the second lady's dowry is also according to the eldest lady, and only thirty-six are prepared." On such a day as Xiaoding, in addition to his own family, he also invited the second lady to have close contacts. When the second lady comes out of the cabinet, our family will bother everyone again. ”
Mrs. Tai felt that it was very appropriate. The second wife's eye medicine failed to go up, and she was persuaded by Mrs. Tai: "The silver of any family is not blown by the wind, and there are twenty or thirty brothers in the generation of Qingping Houguang, and their family will not marry a daughter-in-law in a year, if it is changed to someone else's family, it will not be able to hold it for a long time." It's just a matter of making a small decision, let the sisters go out to play, and see the world. The Qingping Marquis Mansion is different from our family, the relationship between their family and the military department has always been good, and the military department is not easy to say, and the ladies who are in charge and Ling Shi will definitely go. It would be nice if I could be a good matchmaker for our four girls. ”
also specially asked Mama Shi to give Chang Ke a message, let her dress up beautifully, and the silver for making clothes and jewelry was given by Mrs. Tai.
The second wife was so angry that she almost lay down.
Wang Xi and Chang Ke were so happy when they found out that they went to the Qingping Marquis Mansion together.
Today is the day when Miss Wu Er makes a small decision, of course they can't take the lead, although Mrs. Tai let them dress up more beautifully, but they are all green and blue, they are all pretty and brisk dress of the little girl's family, Mrs. Seven liked it from the bottom of her heart, and personally sent them to Miss Wu Er's boudoir, which was not the same as the treatment when they came to the Qingping Marquis Mansion to pay tribute to Mrs. Seven's birthday.
The two couldn't help but smile at each other, knowing that it was the blessing of reporting to the Qingping Marquis Mansion in the palace that day, and they all bowed to the seventh wife, thanked them with a smile, and then lifted the curtain and entered the second room in the east.
When it is auspicious, the man will have a Quanfu person to wear a hairpin for Miss Wu Er, the woman and the man will have relatives in the house to watch the ceremony, some of the decorations in the house like the screen have been put away, and the shelves of the Duobao Pavilion have also been replaced with jade bonsai, and the house looks spacious and noble.
"Sister Wang and Sister Chang are here!" Miss Wu Er wore a bright red gown, a black green silk with a single screw bun, no jewelry, and sat on the big kang near the window with a red face and greeted the two.
"Second sister!" The two of them stepped forward to salute her.
According to the ceremony, before the man's Quanfu person put on the golden hairpin sent by the man, she couldn't get off the kang.
And today she is the biggest.
The maid next to Miss Wu Er returned the gift to Wang Xi and Chang Ke on her behalf.
6 Ling, who came earlier than them, pulled the two of them to sit down on the rose chair next to them.
Only then did Wang Xi and Chang Ke discover that there were also Miss Bo Liu and Miss Wu of Xiangyang Houfu sitting around Miss Wu Er.
"You two sisters are the last to arrive." Miss Bo Liu smiled, "It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise you will have to be fined three glasses." ”
Wang Xi raised the teacup in his hand and said, "Then replace the wine with tea, and we will punish ourselves with three cups, okay?" ”
