Chapter 352: The Banquet Begins

The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, but the weather in Jinling is still very hot, and there are still many young men and women wearing cool summer shirts on the streets. Even Yin Du Ziheng of Jinling Mansion was no exception, he got down from the sedan chair, and he was still wearing a thin cloth official robe in summer.

The little maid who had been waiting at the door for a long time saw him get out of the sedan chair, and even hugged a carrier pigeon to greet him.

"Master, Chang'an has a letter."

Changan? Du Ziheng was a little surprised: "Who's?" ”

"Lord Zhen's." The little guy said and hugged the carrier pigeon in front of Du Ziheng and said, "I heard that 100,000 people are in a hurry." ”

If he is not in a hurry, he does not dare to invite Du Ziheng back.

"Is 100,000 urgent?" Du Ziheng seemed to be a little surprised, and immediately took the carrier pigeon and walked towards the yamen.

Of course, 100,000 urgent letters will not be sprinkled with a large article, and Zhen Shiyuan will explain the matter clearly in a concise and concise manner.

He wants to borrow a map of the river. The reason is that it is rumored in Jinling City, and I heard that Miss Qiao, who has repeatedly solved strange cases in Chang'an City, no, it is now Lord Qiao, and she was taken away by the people of the original family a few days ago.

Of course, Du Ziheng knows what the original family did, and Miss Qiao's life experience is not a secret to those who have a heart. So this sentence is enough for Du Ziheng to deduce ten thousand speculations, and none of them have good results.

Miss Qiao's current situation is not optimistic. However, her situation is not optimistic, what does it have to do with the river map, Zhen Shiyuan did not say, and it goes without saying.

Du Ziheng paused, and after handing back the carrier pigeon in his hand to the little guy, he suddenly walked in the direction of the warehouse.

"Let someone go and open the storehouse and take out the river map."

River map? The little guy was stunned.

"My lord, isn't the Chongyang Autumn Banquet going to show the people the river map?"

"The matter of displaying the river map has been changed to the first month of next year," Du Ziheng said without changing his face, "Now you personally go to Chang'an for me and hand over the river map to Zhen Shiyuan." ”

"As for the Chongyang Autumn Banquet, it is good for the parents to be able to enjoy with the people, even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no reason to do a big deal."

……

Indeed, compared with the Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet that collided with His Majesty's birthday not long ago, the Chongyang Autumn Banquet was not so grand.

Of course, His Majesty is not a person who likes to celebrate festivals with great fanfare, the Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet is still like this, not to mention the Chongyang Autumn Banquet, even the imperial city was not allowed to enter, and was directly moved to the Furong Garden. However, although it is difficult to say whether His Majesty will attend or not, the officials of the various ministries and yamen are still excited to receive the invitation to the Chongyang Autumn Banquet.

"It's yours." Zhen Shiyuan pushed the invitation on the table to her, but changed the joy and joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and turned a little dignified, "Although Dali Temple has received a lot of posts, it is no different if you have this one, but I still think that the banquet is not a good feast." ”

Qiao Ran took the invitation and said with a smile: "Is it because the original family is also going?" ”

This time, there were more than twice as many officials invited to the Chongyang Banquet as in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is needless to say how lively the Hibiscus Garden will be at that time.

"Yes." Zhen Shiyuan nodded and said, "And your ...... Uh, the original second master will also go. ”

He wanted to say that your dad is here, but he still can't say it, and it's no different whether this dad is there or not.

"I see." The girl accepted the invitation, and didn't care about his change of words, but smiled and saluted Zhen Shiyuan, and said, "Don't worry, adults." ”

What is he worried about, Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Just be careful yourself." After a pause, he couldn't help muttering, "I don't know when the original family will do it." ”

The girl had already walked outside the door by this time, and did not seem to hear him.

……

When I returned home from Dali Temple, I was going to sleep after eating and resting for a while.

After that day, it didn't seem to be any different, the young lady still went out on time every day and came back on time every day, she would laugh with them, she would instruct her to cook dishes that she had never cooked, and she was still so smart that she couldn't see anything unusual.

The red beans who were boiling water in the kitchen squatted under the stove, I don't know if it was a little hot from the fire, and reached out to wipe their eyes.

But it's different.

They trembled, afraid that Miss would suddenly fall down one day, they knew who did it, but how to save Miss didn't know at all.

It's like a sword hanging over your head, and it's about to fall at some point.

Hongdou wiped away her tears and went over to wash the young lady with the hot water in the copper basin.

When she entered, Pei Qingqing was not there, Qiao Ran was lowering her head and pressing the mattress on the bed with her hand seriously.

"Miss." Hongdou put the copper basin on the table, walked to Qiao Ran, and asked, "But the mattress is too hard?" ”

"No, it's just right if it's not soft or hard." The girl smiled back at her and said, "I think it shouldn't matter if I lie on it for a little longer." ”

Hongdou's tears poured out all of a sudden, she hugged Qiao Ran, and cried: "Miss, the dog thing that was killed that day, let's go and report to the official......"

Silly boy, if it was useful for the officer, why would she do these things? Qiao Ran grabbed Hongdou's shoulder and patted her shoulder gently, as if to comfort and reassure: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Feel relieved? Hongdou looked up and looked at her with teary eyes.

Qiao Ran raised her eyebrows at her after saying this: "When did what I said not count?" ”

Miss's words don't count? Hongdou was stunned, and began to recall one by one from the village on the outskirts of Jinling, and when the memories were over, she shook her head.

No, what Miss said never counted.

"So, if I say I'm going to be fine, I'm going to be fine." The girl said seriously.

……

A verbal guarantee does not mean anything, let alone prevent the arrival of Chongyang.

The day of the Double Ninth Festival banquet has finally arrived.

Unlike the Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet, which is at night, the Double Ninth Birthday Banquet is set during the day, and you can go home before dark after attending the Double Ninth Festival.

This day is no different from going to the Yamen of Dali Temple to report on weekdays, as usual, wearing official robes and going out on time, when he was about to go out, Qiao Ran stopped again, turned his head to look at the people in the courtyard who looked uneasy, and said: "I'll be back soon, Hongdou, you take good care of your home." ”

Hongdou nodded, although she was uneasy these days, Miss's promise still made her feel a lot more at ease.

After saying goodbye to Hongdou, Qiao Ran turned his head to look at Qiao Shu on the side: "After a while, I will ask Zhen Shiyuan to get a letter of recommendation from Guozijian for you and send you to Guozijian to study." ”

Miss Qiao can't support him for a lifetime, even if Miss Qiao doesn't care, a normal and ambitious man won't do it. This matter had already been mentioned by Miss Qiao before, Qiao Shu nodded, looked at Qiao Ran who was about to leave, his hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clench, looking at the girl's figure, he couldn't help but say, "You be careful." ”

The Double Ninth Festival is coming.

Qiao Ran walked out of the house and looked up at the sky, the sun was a little dazzling today, and she couldn't open her eyes.

It's a nice day today.
