Chapter 54: Flower Moon Ecstasy, Xing also Sijun
Today's good banquet is difficult to show joy. After everyone had eaten the crab meat on the plate, two rows of maids came and removed the steamers one by one.
Drink the dew of magnolia in the morning, and fall in the autumn chrysanthemum at night.
The next dish was brought by the servants carrying bamboo food boxes. When opened, there are three levels of drawers.
On the first floor, there are cakes such as chrysanthemum phoenix rolls and chrysanthemum cakes, on the first floor, chrysanthemum porridge and chrysanthemum soup, and on the last layer, chrysanthemum dumplings and chrysanthemum tofu.
Everyone ate some of everything, and it was a taste.
The sunset is getting late, and the sky is twilight. The last dish was also delivered by a veiled woman from the Western Regions, holding a tray and dancing steps.
The one on top was originally a white jade jug, and the wine poured out was not quite the same.
What is poured for the male guests is osmanthus wine with light yellow color and outstanding fragrance. Elegant and pleasant, with a long aftertaste.
For the female guests, it is a deep ruby purple red, crystal clear mulberry fruit wine. The entrance is sweet and sour, rich and pleasant.
When everyone was about to raise their glasses and drink together, the last step was interrupted by a briefing from the little guy here.
"Lu Xiang has arrived, and the young master of the Xie family has arrived."
How could these two come together? The crowd had different thoughts, and they all looked at the people who were walking from the side of the bridge.
The two of them were dressed in white, but the young man was a little lower and had not yet grown. Following the young man, he was like a brother.
Lu Weizhen's face is wearing half a mask at all times. Some say it was because he had an extremely ugly scar on his face, which once frightened the emperor.
Since then, he has been wearing a mask, and everyone has tacitly tacitly accepted that this is the truth.
But recently, there have been some news chasing after the wind, saying that he is actually better than Pan An, and he wears a mask for fear of giving birth to Wei Jue (a beautiful man who was killed by his own beauty).
Although everyone was curious about what kind of face he would look like under his mask, no one dared to really step forward to reveal it.
can only be as now, with eyes like torches, as if they want to burn through this layer of camouflage.
When the two approached, everyone saw it. Lu Weizhen, who is the leader, is a little different from the past in terms of how he dresses today.
He deliberately made some rectifications, no longer the pure white brocade clothes of the past, and the cuffs were tattooed with dark bamboo.
Now this body, the inside is a purple shirt, and the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with silver silk edge moire piping. Wearing a snow-white straight-placked robe, a cyan auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt is tied around the waist.
Different from the usual breeze and moon, it adds a bit of mystery, noble and elegant, elegant and elegant. Really, the natural and turbid son.
No one thinks there's anything wrong with it, except Kiyono. She looked at the slightly drunken girl, and because of some heat, the emerald brocade and satin cloak she was wearing outside slipped halfway off, revealing a dark flower filament purple silk skirt.
Childe's body should be deliberately matched with the county lord.
Everyone's eyes fell on the young man, and no one cared about the well-behaved and docile young man behind him.
The young man nodded at him, and walked to the position behind Jiang Lanhe and sat down.
Some people have already stood up one after another, preparing to move their positions, and as Lu Weizhen, they should sit on the same right side as King Nan'an. He folded his hands and prepared to salute him.
The young man came to the vacant seat in front of Duanmu Xihua and sat down, picked up the silver wine cup on the table, and raised his glass to everyone, with a smile on his face.
"Don't bow down, today is Brother Qi Guang's family banquet. Don't talk about court affairs, just talk about leisure. ”
"Fusu, since you're late, can you pass with a glass of wine?"
As the master, Wei Qiguang spoke, and he naturally couldn't shirk it.
"I'll punish myself with three glasses."
After drinking one cup after another, the feast continued, and now everyone was complete.
Lu Weizhen turned his head and looked at the small half of the crab meat on Duanmu Xihua's silver plate, as well as the dim sum that had moved a little bit. He narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.
"These things are cold, and Xi Hua should not be greedy."
"It's mulberry fruit wine, which warms and nourishes the body. But you can't drink it as plain water, beware of getting drunk. ”
"No matter what, don't you bother."
She is a real drunk at the moment, probably not conscious enough, and she doesn't have the same good self-control in front of him as usual. Some words that have been held back for a long time are unconsciously spoken.
The girl looked at him with a wine glass in one hand and a cheek in the other, and her demeanor was delicate and cute, which made his heart move slightly.
"Kiyono, you go to the front and ask them for a decanting soup."
"Huh."
Qingye should go down, there is Gongzi here, as well as Baili Langjun and Jiang Xiaogongzi and others who are familiar with each other, she doesn't have to worry about what will happen.
"Ronghe, I'll take a look."
Zhao Sinian watched Qingye leave the table and found an opportunity to ask something. He didn't want to hide it from Cui Kongling, because the two were so familiar with each other, even if he didn't say it, he could see it.
Wei Zhixian, who was seated, looked at the young man and the girl smiling and smiling, and his face turned pale with anger. But there are too many guests, and it is not good to have a seizure.
Duanmu Xihua still wants to drink again, she has always loved sweets. The fruit wine is sweet and sour, the taste is soft and long, and she drinks a little fluttering after cup after cup.
Seeing that the girl picked up the flask again, he immediately snatched it.
"Shouldn't you share good things, I want to try them too."
"Then I'll have someone bring another pot."
said that he was going to call the maid again, but Lu Weizhen didn't expect her to be so persistent. He thought about it, with some hint of seduction.
"What's the point of just drinking, let's play a game."
"If you win, I'll pour you a drink. Lost, I'll have a drink, how's that. ”
"No, I'm not playing with you."
"You're so smart, I'm going to lose."
The girl hiccuped a little, and smiled a little slyly.
"I ...... I won't be fooled by you. ”
"Xi Hua, do you still recognize who I am?"
He suspected that she was too drunk to recognize people.
"Of course I do."
The girl raised her eyebrows and pouted in some distress.
"Well, who am I?"
"You are Lu Weizhen."
"Big liar Lu Weizhen."
"Hahahaha."
Cui Kongling and his party were close to each other, and her voice was not deliberately lowered, so she could naturally hear it clearly.
Lu Weizhen: "......"
I have to say that watching Lu Weizhen eat deflated, he felt very happy.
"Then, Xiao Xihua, look at me, do you still recognize me?"
Cui Kongling pointed at herself with a fan, and looked at her with a pair of honey-colored and tender eyes.
The girl smiled and looked at him for a moment.
"You ......"
"What am I?"
Cui Kongling unabashedly looked forward to it.
"You're a fairy cousin."
He nodded, it's okay, at least better than the big liar. The spring breeze was proud, and naturally the first thing to do was to hit Lu Weizhen. However, this person has learned to be smart, and he is out of sight and out of mind, and ignores him.
"What about me, what about me."
Jiang Lanhe also became interested and straightened her sitting posture.
The girl shook her head and looked at him with delicate deer eyes.
"You're rich."
Jiang Lanhe: "......"
"What about him?"
Jiang Lanhe pointed to Baili Zhiheng next to him with some frustration.
"Glittering Gold."
"Huh?"
"Golden Cancan."
The girl gestured in the air, word by word.
"Big ingots."
Baili Heng, who was still gloating just now, also cracked the smile on his face at this moment.
However, the rest of the people who listened to the answer laughed at the same time, which was a good thing to show her true opinion of them in her heart.
Only Lu Weizhen looked at the young man who was quietly and persistently picking vegetables in the distance, thinking that he accidentally saw him outside the Zuiyue Building today, he shouldn't have been.
Xie Yuzhi has always been stupid and ignorant of the world, and his performance after seeing him was as he expected.
But he shouldn't have been there, the timing was too coincidental, as if he knew something, and waited there on purpose.
"And what about him?"
Then the girl looked at the young man in white along his fingertips, Xie Yuzhi didn't think that he was also involved, and lowered his head a little shyly.
She whispered something like a gnat. Only Lu Weizhen, who was close, could hear clearly, she said.
"He looks like a bastard."
He felt sour in his heart, knowing that what he said at the beginning was a little serious and hurt her. But he assured that this was the only time, and not again.
The girl looked up and smiled innocently like a child.
"Huamao Chunsong."
"What? Among the few of us, it was Xie Xiaoqi who had the highest evaluation. ”
Jiang Lanhe looked incredulous and looked at the girl with some accusations.
"Cousin, you've only known him for a long time, and we've been friends for more than ten years."
For more than ten years, she is rich in her heart??
"Hahaha."
"Xiao Xihua, then, what do you think he is?"
Cui Kongling pointed to the man in Xuanyi on the high seat, it was Wei Sique.
"He looks a little fierce, I don't like it."
This time Lu Weizhen smiled, he approached the girl, rubbed her hair, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Zhu Zhu'er is so good, it's my palm bead."
The girl didn't care what he said.
"What do you do to touch my head, it will not grow tall."
She bit her lip a little aggrievedly, as if she was really sad about her inability to grow taller.
"Then you touch it back, so I won't grow tall."
The young man bowed his head to the maiden, with a gesture of piety and gentleness, as if he were dealing with a rare treasure.
"Hmph."
The girl pouted.
"But you're taller than me now, and it's useless."
The young man was not the slightest impatient, and his tone was soft, coaxing the girl little by little.
"I grew tall to stand behind you and shelter you from the wind and rain."
It turns out that there is no reason to talk about it with a drunk.
"Big liar, I don't believe you. Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"County Lord, Lu Xiang."
Kiyono returned, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere between the two at the right time. She carried a tray with a bowl of decanter soup and a few taels of hawthorn and citrus peel floating on the surface.
"Hmm."
Although Lu Weizhen sat up straight, his eyes were erratic, and he kept glancing at the girl. It wasn't until Kiyono served her to drink a cup of soup that she turned her gaze casually.
Half an hour later, Duanmu Yuhua came to his senses. She had a vague memory just now. I vaguely remember that I seemed to answer a lot of questions, but I don't remember what it was.
But now she was very uncomfortable, first eating crab, then a snack made of chrysanthemums, and greedy for wine halfway. Now that I have drunk the sour sobering soup again, my stomach is churning, and a feeling of vomiting rushes up.
She tugged at Kiyono's sleeve.
"Kiyono, I'm not feeling well, go out for a while."
Kiyono saw that she was awake, and it was difficult to say anything.
After the girl's figure disappeared in front of him, Kiyono found out. She took off her cloak because of the hot wine just now, but the autumn breeze was cool in the evening.
Thinking of the high heat that Duanmu Yuhua had been in for a few days last time, Kiyono immediately knew and was about to take his cloak to find her.
Lu Weizhen stopped her first and stretched out his hand.
"Give it to me, I'll go find her."
The young man looked firm and could not refuse. Qingye nodded, Childe naturally wouldn't let the county lord have anything to do, she didn't shirk it.
But as soon as he left the table, Wei Zhixian, who was seated, finally seized the opportunity and quietly left. When Wei Sique finally finished toasting with the courtiers and the princes one by one, Wei Zhixian's seat had been empty for a while.
He subconsciously looked at Lu Weizhen's position, and sure enough.
After much thought, he also got up and left his seat.
