Chapter 128: Flower Banquet

Wang Xi and Chang Ke returned to the capital a few days early.

Ali was picked up by Liu Zhong.

When he went back, the child was tearful and hugged Xiangye and was reluctant to let go, even if Liu Zhong promised to give him a cat, he shook his head, saying that other cats were not Xiangye, and Wang Xi's heart was so soft that he almost gave Xiangye to Ali.

However, Wang Xi promised that if Xiangye had a younger brother and sister in the future, he would give one to Ali, which coaxed Ali not to cry, and turned around three times to leave Yunju Temple with the snacks that Wang Xi gave him.

Chang Ke sighed: "It would be nice if I had the opportunity to let him come to the house as a guest." ”

Wang Xi thought it was unlikely, but it was possible that they would go to Baishiqiao to visit Ali.

After the two returned home, they went to freshen up first, and then went to greet Mrs. Tai.

After not seeing them for a long time, Mrs. Tai was very happy to see them, not only asked them how they lived in Yunju Temple and how they were preparing to be guests in Jiangchuan Bofu, but also left them for dinner.

But there is no mention of the flower viewing banquet in the palace.

Is this intended for the two of them to participate?

Wang Xi and Chang Ke were like mirrors, pretending not to know about this matter, and accompanied Mrs. Tai to talk for a while, Wang Xi went back to the Willow Garden to rest, and Chang Ke went to Mrs. Hou - she had not yet greeted the two aunts and mother.

Mrs. Hou was talking to the grandmother in charge, and after a few simple questions to Chang Ke, she served tea.

The second wife was meeting the people in the silk village, and when she saw Chang Ke coming, she hurriedly changed places and greeted Chang Ke.

Chang Ke sneered in his heart, guessing that the second wife was about to prepare clothes for Chang Yan to enter the palace.

She casually dealt with the second wife and went to the apricot garden.

The third wife had been waiting for her daughter, and when she saw Chang Ke first taking her hand and looking her up and down, she saw that her face was ruddy and her complexion was better than when she was at home, so she relieved her heart and asked her quietly with a smile: "Did your grandmother tell you about the flower banquet in the palace?" ”

Chang Ke knew what her mother had been looking forward to, she used to think that her mother was excusable, but now she felt that it was time to sober up her parents.

"Nope!" She said calmly, "Not only did my grandmother not say anything to me, but even the eldest aunt and the second aunt didn't mention it. ”

She also told her mother about the scene of her going to the second room and her guesses, and said, "Even the third sister didn't send me a letter." It's still the cousin of the Wang family and the people in the grandmother's house, and I mentioned it when we went to send the invitation to Uncle Jiang Chuan's house. ”

The third wife looked at Chang Ke in astonishment, and after a while, suddenly tears fell like rain, and she whispered unwillingly: "Will you still steal Chang Yan's limelight?!" Isn't it just that you can't get along with the four sons of the Marquis of Xiangyang? Is the whole family going to hold her? Is there anything good that she has to choose first? How can they do that to you! The second wife is looking at her daughter, and she doesn't want you to come forward, after all, she hasn't let anyone for so many years. But Mrs. Hou didn't come forward to help you say a word...... In vain, I have been respectful to her for so many years, and I can't help her at a critical time, why should our family hold their family? ”

That's exactly what happened.

Chang Ke let out a long sigh of relief.

If her parents had sobered up because of this, then it would have been worth her and her brother's patience for so many years.

She couldn't help but encourage her mother: "The little brother is obedient and obedient, and he is also smart in reading." It's okay to say that my marriage is a girl who got married. But the younger brother's career can't be delayed. It's still good as the old saying goes, rely on the mountains and the mountains, and rely on the water to dry. We still have to plan ahead. ”

The third lady sat in a daze for a while before going out of her daughter's house.

Chang Ke went to bed in a good mood, slept comfortably, and when he got up, he saw that the time was not early, and told the maid to send some vegetarian snacks bought in Yunju Temple to Miss Pan, and then went to Liuyin Garden, made an appointment with Wang Xi, and went to Mrs. Tai together.

Although Mrs. Tai left two people for dinner, she also called Shi Zhu and Chang Yan.

Shi Zhu was still as usual, cold and indifferent, seeing the two of them coming, he nodded indifferently, it was a greeting, but Chang Yan, looking at the Qing has decreased a lot, with a little sorrow between his eyebrows, even laughing, but also a little reluctant.

She asked them about their lives in Yunju Temple with concern.

Chang Ke had the heart to fight in the ring with Chang Yan, and only picked up the interesting and fun ones to tell Chang Yan.

Chang Yan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but fortunately, Mama Shi quickly came in and asked if she could set the meal, and everyone smiled and helped Mrs. Tai to the dining hall, and she also revealed the matter.

But the atmosphere in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion has become a little delicate because of this matter.

Everyone is speculating about why Mrs. Tai didn't take Wang Xi to the flower banquet in the palace, and felt that Wang Xi was not as favored as Shi Zhu, Shi Zhu was Mrs. Tai's mother's family, and at a critical time, Mrs. Tai was still towards her mother's family.

As for Chang Ke, she has never been taken seriously, and it is normal for everyone to revolve around Chang Yan.

There are not even as many people who talk about Chang Ke as Wang Xi.

Wang Xi has always been too lazy to pay attention to the gossip of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, and he shouldn't know about it this time. On such a hot day, in addition to going to greet Mrs. Tai, she played with Xiangye in the Willow Shade Garden, or went to the Chunyin Garden to visit the door, watch Miss Pan paint, embroider, and chat with Chang Ke, and lived a leisurely and comfortable life.

When it came to the day of Jiang Chuanbo's flower banquet, she and Chang Ke dressed up beautifully and went out together.

Jiangchuan Bofu is also in Yongfang, and Yongcheng Hou Mansion is about the same size, but only lived in Jiangchuan Bo's family of four, the yard repair is very elegant, not to mention, the furnishings are also very atmospheric, the back garden in addition to the undefeated flowers and trees of the four seasons, there are greenhouses, docks, horse farms, flower viewing, boating, horseback riding. Walking in is like walking into a mountain courtyard.

Wang Xi grabbed Lu Ling's arm and exclaimed: "In such a beautiful place, you are still hot on a small swing where I am, are you considered a tyrannical thing!" ”

Lu Ling also pouted: "I always feel that the home is deserted, and there is nothing fun." ”

Other people's homes can't live in them, and their homes live in a few yards by one person.

Chang Ke was extremely envious.

Lu Ling led them to see her new swing, and asked Wang Xi: "Are you going to the flower viewing banquet in the palace?" Would you like me to help you? ”

The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion can not take her, but if the palace people call her to go, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion will not be able to leave her.

Wang Xi wanted to go a little, she had never entered the palace before, but she was afraid of causing some trouble.

She asked Lu Ling: "Who are you going?" ”

"Everyone who came to our family flower banquet today should go." Lu Ling said, and talked about a few more female relatives who were called in by the lady concubine in the eldest princess's mansion last time.

Wang Xi said distressedly: "Is there a way for me to just go and see the excitement?" ”

Lu Ling laughed and said, "Unless you pretend to be my maid, that's possible." ”

Of course Wang Xi didn't want to, she frowned and hesitated for a long time.

Miss Wu Er and Miss Bo Liu came over together, and Lu Ling pulled them to greet the two of them, putting the matter aside for the time being.

The flower banquet in Jiangchuan Bofu is about watching flowers, but in fact, everyone is taking this opportunity to have fun. There are a few familiar faces, Wang Xi had seen them last time in the Qingping Marquis Mansion, and when they met again, the time was short, and everyone was not unfamiliar, talking and laughing, and soon sat together.

However, they were all talking about going to the palace flower banquet, and one of the young ladies even proposed: "What color clothes are you going to wear when you go?" What style of jewelry to wear? It's better for everyone to talk about it, lest you enter the palace and find that everyone is dressed the same, like twin sisters, and you can only rely on face fighting - although I have confidence in my face, I am still afraid that I will encounter someone like Bo Liu, who will suffer too much. ”

Her attitude was very bold, and everyone not only did not feel disgusted when they heard it, but also thought she was very interesting, and while laughing, they all talked about what clothes they had prepared.

Only Wang Xi and Chang Ke remained silent, which inevitably attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Ling relieved the two of them: "They haven't figured out what to wear yet!" ”

Miss Wu Er's expression suddenly darkened when she heard this, and she said in a clear voice: "I'm still dressed as usual, anyway, the possibility of being the same as you is very small, even if it's the same, when I meet someone like Bo Liu, I don't have any advantage, it's better to stay in the corner honestly and listen to you." ”

Bo Liu, who was happily talking to those young ladies about his clothes before, frowned almost invisibly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Don't set me up as a target, if you have the heart, it is better to ask Miss Shi what she is going to wear, the banquet in the palace, she has never lost the limelight." ”

Several young ladies were silent, and then they began to talk about Shi Zhu's clothes and jewelry, and no one mentioned the flower banquet in the palace again.

It can be seen that these ladies are all smart people.

When the time comes, whoever dresses up the most will be the one who has the most heart.

Wang Xi took a sip of tea and wondered if he should talk to Chen Luo.

But when girls get together, it's impossible not to talk.

They soon discussed the lawsuit between Zhenwu Temple and Dajue Temple. Listening to the tone of these young ladies, half of them leaned towards the Zhenwu Temple, and half leaned towards the Dajue Temple. Those who are inclined to Zhenwu Temple feel that Zhenwu Temple has been obscure over the years, and has not participated much in the battle between monks and Taoists in the capital, if it wasn't for Chaoyun doing too much this time, Zhenwu Temple would not have jumped out. Those who are inclined to Dajue Temple feel that the Zhenwu Temple is the red Dajue Temple has been prosperous in these years, and finally caught a Chaoyun, so he took the chicken feathers as an arrow to splash the sewage of Dajue Temple.

Of course, Wang Xi didn't want Chaoyun to be sheltered like this, she said: "It's true that Chaoyun took the incense spectrum of Zhenwu Temple, and it's also true that Dajue Temple took in Chaoyun." Why do you always say how the Zhenwu Temple and the Dajue Temple are, why don't you say that Chaoyun? If it weren't for him, how could there be all these things that followed? I think the biggest problem is Chaoyun. Dajukuji is also responsible. It's too easy for them to take in monks, and they don't even ask who they are. ”

Even if someone originally stood in Dajue Temple, they felt that what Wang Xi said made sense.

Everyone discussed the incense made by Chaoyun for a long time, and they all felt that Chaoyun was not a good person.

Although such a statement is only in a small area, it may be that Chaoyun is buttoned little by little, Wang Xi is still very happy.

Miss Wu Er didn't participate in the discussion, and kept sitting next to her with a smile and listening to everyone, but when she left, she pulled Wang Xi and said, "Let's go back together!" ”
