Chapter 41: Interrupt

Not to mention the difference between men and women, Chen Yu is also a high and powerful position, and the possibility of Wang Xi seeing him is extremely slim.

Although she understood it in her heart, she couldn't help but have some regrets.

Speaking of Chen Yu, he is also quite a legendary figure.

Of the three brothers, he is the second in line, neither the eldest son who is expected to be high, nor the youngest son who is loved by his parents. It stands to reason that his best ending is to rely on his father's Yu Yin to hang an idle job in the personal guard when he is old, receive some money, and live this life comfortably and comfortably with the subsidy from his family. But he didn't accept his fate, first participated in the college examination, the township examination, and the general examination as a scholar, and was admitted all the way to the palace examination, and became a parent official in a small county town called Zouping in Shandong as a two-list jinshi. In the three-year performance appraisal, he also got a "can". As a result, in the fourth year, the Yellow River burst its banks, and his county of Zouping was flooded. According to the law, parents and rulers are to live and die with their jurisdiction. Chen Yu abandoned his official position and fled. Later, he somehow excused himself from responsibility, and re-entered the office with martial arts, so that he knew the same as Yulin Zuowei.

Kyori says he has everything, but no one can deny that he is a capable person.

But no matter how capable he is, as the second son of martial arts, his future is like this.

Who knew that at this time, his brother's family actually made a fuss about spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, and he was sued by the Yue family to the emperor.

His brother was disqualified from the title.

He became the prince of Zhenguo.

After that, he went smoothly, all the way to the top, not to mention the knight, but also sat firmly in the position of the former military governor of the five military governors' mansion, and after his wife died of illness, he also remarried the eldest princess of Baoqing, and became the royal horse, the emperor's confidant and favorite minister.

However, when Wang Xi's father analyzed Chen Yu, he was quite puzzled by his brother's sudden murder of his concubine, and felt that there were a lot of strange things.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xi is very curious about what Chen Yu looks like.

These thoughts just swirled in her mind, and she quickly pressed them into the bottom of her heart.

She and Miss Wu Er returned to the flower hall where the ladies of the Qingping Marquis (Mansion) stayed.

The ladies of the Qingping Marquis Mansion had not yet come, Wang Xi and Chang Ke were embarrassed to continue to sit here, so they thought about saying goodbye and returning to the flower hall where the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was settled.

Miss Wu Er left them sincerely, and said: "Your family is next to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, and their family has the most people coming and going, and your family will definitely not be able to live in peace at that time." You might as well stay here and hide in peace. After saying that, she regretted it a little and hesitated, "However, it would be good to take this opportunity to meet more people......

What do you do by getting to know more people? It's just to show those women that there will be a chance for more people to know that they are still unmarried!

Chang Ke smiled and said, "Sister Wu, what are we all wearing today?" ”

Miss Wu Er couldn't help but look at them when she heard this, and saw that both of them were dressed very decently, not to mention, and they were all in line with their own temperament, so she hesitated: "What?" What's new in Kyori this year? Forgive me for not being able to see it! ”

Wang Xi and Chang Ke laughed in unison, thinking that Miss Wu Er was very cute.

Chang Ke hurriedly said: "No, no. We don't know what new looks are trending in Kyori this year. But we're just going to come to eat and drink, and we're just going to have a long experience, and we're not ready to be in the limelight, so we just need to dress appropriately. ”

Miss Wu Er laughed, very cheerful, and said: "You let me see how old the horse is and how far the feet are, I will definitely dare to call myself the first, but if you let me see the style of those clothes and jewelry, I really can't see any big difference." Don't blame me for being too blunt. ”

"How so!" Wang Xi grinned and said, "If Sister Wu wasn't so refreshing, we wouldn't have hit it off at first sight and traveled together." She saw that Lu Ling had been laughing beside her, and she didn't talk much, for fear of snubbing her, so she pulled Lu Ling in, "It's good that Sister Lu introduced you to us, otherwise I would have missed Sister Wu." ”

Lu Ling was really happy to hear this.

Everyone talked and laughed, and after a stick of incense, the ladies of the Qingping Marquis Mansion came over.

Seven or eight women, together with the maids and women who served them closely, rushed in, and the huge flower hall suddenly became crowded.

Miss Wu Er also said that there were only a few people in their family who liked to hang out, and there were several aunts and sisters-in-law who didn't like this kind of lively occasion and didn't come along.

It can be seen how prosperous the people of the Qingping Marquis Mansion are.

The leader of their house is Miss Wu Er's grandmother.

She looked like she was in her sixties, with gray hair, with a smoky forehead inlaid with emeralds, tall, with a red sandalwood cane, red on her face, her voice was loud, she looked at Wang Xi with a smile, and said very lovingly: "Ouch, Ah Ling often runs to our house, which two little girls are these?" It looks really watery! ”

Miss Wu Er hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.

After Mrs. Qingping Houfu heard who they were, she looked at Wang Xi's gaze like that of Mama Wu, and her expression became a little strange.

It can be seen that he is another person who knows what happened to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion back then.

She also coughed in disguise, and then said to Wang Xi gently: "If it's not fun in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, come to our house to find the second girl to pass the time, our family doesn't have so many rules, you can come when you want to come." ”

That's a very heavy promise.

It has the meaning of sheltering Wang Xi.

is still an old man who met her for the first time and didn't know what kind of person she was, with status.

Wang Xi let this rush to his face, and his eyes moistened a little with unreserved kindness.

She respectfully saluted the lady of the Qingping Marquis Mansion and promised gently.

Miss Wu Er led her and Chang Ke to salute the other female relatives.

Everyone smiled and greeted them kindly.

Wang Xi immediately fell in love with the Qingping Marquis Mansion.

It's a pity that it's not early, they can play here, and they can't still follow the people from the Qingping Marquis Mansion to sit at the table.

After speaking, Wang Xi, Chang Ke and Lu Ling resigned from the Wu family and walked out of the flower hall together.

As Miss Wu Er said, the flower hall where they settled down was full of people coming and going, laughing and laughing, noisy and noisy, and many female dependents were either in the open flower hall, or under the trees in the courtyard, or beside the eaves beauty chairs, talking and laughing in twos and threes, very lively.

Lu Ling stuck out her tongue at them, said "Two sisters, I'll go first" and slipped away, Wang Xi and Chang Ke had no choice but to cross the courtyard with their heads down.

Who knew that they thought too much, and no one paid too much attention to them, some didn't even look at them, and some just raised their eyes when they saw them.

Wang Xi has never been ignored like this, she thinks it is very interesting, she pulled Chang Ke all the way into the flower hall, and saw Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou sitting next to the Arhat bed in the flower hall, Shi Zhu and Chang Ning accompanied by them, surrounded by a group of women laughing and talking, Chang Yan and the second wife didn't know where they went, except for a few little maids serving in the house, no one noticed their movements, Wang Xi couldn't help whispering to Chang Ke: "They won't know that we went out at all, right?" ”

"Possibly!" Chang Ke looked like you didn't have to make a fuss, and said in a low voice, "Shi Zhu is here, even if grandmother thinks of you, she will help you prevaricate, so you can rest assured, grandmother will definitely not have time to care about you at this time." ”

It can be seen that Shi Zhu is also somewhat useful.

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and sat in the corner with Chang Ke with an honest, low-eyebrow and pleasing look, eating snacks and knocking melon seeds.

Except for the fact that Qingsilk has not received any news after going to the bamboo forest, she is quite comfortable.

But this kind of comfort did not last long, Concubine Shuniang and Princess Fuyang have arrived, it is said that they are talking to the eldest princess of Baoqing, and there are also the second prince and the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince, and the noon feast is about to begin.

Everyone sat down according to the arrangement of the Baoqing Eldest Princess's Mansion.

The Yongcheng Hou Mansion sits in the open hall of the third entrance, and the position near the door on the west side can be regarded as the position of the Jiabin, but compared with the position of the second entrance of the Qingping Hou Mansion near the middle hall, it is still a little worse - I heard that the first entrance sits the eldest princess of Baoqing, the lady concubine Niangniang and the princess of Fuyang, the eldest princess of Lin'an and other internal women.

Wang Xi wanted to see what the famous lady lady looked like, but unfortunately it was a little far away, and there was a heavy courtyard separated by it, so she couldn't see it at all.

The Xiangyang Hou Mansion and the Yongcheng Hou Mansion are quite close to each other, sitting next to each other.

Wang Xi found out that Chang Yan, Miss Pan and the second wife were not at the table.

She asked Chang Ke in a low voice why he hadn't seen them.

Chang Ke pursed his lips and whispered: "The second aunt is very active at this time, so you don't have to worry about them, they will definitely come over before the official tea." ”

As soon as her words fell, Wang Xi saw the second wife hurriedly bring Chang Yan and Miss Pan over.

Chang Yan is okay, she seems to be very accustomed to the second wife's style, and she calmly greeted Mrs. Tai and the others and sat down, but Miss Pan's face was flushed and she looked very ashamed.

Wang Xi really wanted to ask who they had gone to meet, but when she saw Miss Pan like this, she was not easy to ask.

Soon, the formal feast began.

Wang Xi actually saw on the table the Cantonese-style roasted pigeon instead of the Beijing style of Yipin duck, the Hangzhou school of squirrel osmanthus instead of the braised ribbon fish of the Beijing school, and the fish-flavored shredded pork of the Shu school instead of the Beijing school of Hangzhou pepper shredded pork.

This table was arranged very carefully.

She secretly thought in her heart, and commented to Chang Ke in a low voice: "I didn't expect it to burn quite well." ”

Just didn't wait for Chang Ke to answer, and there was a burst of laughter in the courtyard as soon as he entered.

It is estimated that all the people who came to the table listened to the movement inside with their ears firmly open, and all of them fell silent when they heard the sound.

The laughter was even clearer.

Then a female official wearing a flower crown in the palace walked out, stood in front of the middle hall of the second entrance hall and said with a smile: "Which one is the eldest lady of the Shi family of the Yulin General Military Mansion, the lady concubine asked you to go over and talk!" ”

Shi Zhu stood up excitedly, and soon the excitement in his eyes turned into pride, and he walked out with his head held high.

All eyes fell on her.

She saluted the female officer gracefully and followed, and went into the open hall.

Everyone began to whisper.

A trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou, but soon, they were complimented by those envious eyes and became happy.

Wang Xi frowned almost invisibly.

Aren't the people in the palace the most disciplined?

How can you call someone to talk when you're only serving eight hot dishes?

Can you still eat properly?

She hated being interrupted in the middle of her meal.

Wang Xi sandwiched a camphor tea duck that had just been served with chopsticks, and the extremely authentic camphor tea was crispy and fragrant, but it couldn't save her bad mood.
