Chapter 110: The Tenth Day of the Third Month
"Eh, eh! How? What is bluffing? This is called charming! However, people with mediocre qualifications like you don't understand it when I tell you! Forget it, go home! ”
Cheng Chuyang looked at his back and pouted, "You're fat, you're panting!" ”
Xie Lingfeng, who had already walked a certain distance, paused and turned around and said, "What? ”
Cheng Chuyang smiled and waved his hand. "Oh, it's fine. See you there! ”
Xie Lingfeng nodded, "Well, it's not early, Lord Jian Cheng should also go back to the house early!" Remember to come early tomorrow, there are many aspects of the ordnance superintendent to be reorganized! With that, he waved his arm behind his back and left.
Cheng Chuyang resisted the urge to sit on the ground and cry bitterly, and walked back weakly with his eyebrows raised.
The ordnance supervisor has been changing blood for a while, and major matters inside and outside need to be personally supervised and watched by him, the supervisor. I thought that Xie Lingfeng would help out for the sake of friendship, but later I found out that he was thinking too much. Since he took office, every day when he saw Xie Lingfeng, that guy was drinking tea and reading a book. Once he couldn't help it, he stepped forward and snatched the book he was reading with relish, and when he opened it, it was a popular picture album.
I wanted to reason with him a few words, but then I looked at other people's five-grade official uniforms, and I was instantly stunned.
At the two levels of official college, it seems that it is not too much to drink tea and read a picture album!
Realizing the gap between himself and Xie Lingfeng, those unrealistic illusions are gone. The daily hard work and busyness have won the admiration of the colleagues around him.
However, this day is really tiring! Especially when I think of the amount of tasks tomorrow, I suddenly feel that one head is two big!
The Buddha said: It's not easy to be an official!
On the tenth day of March, Cheng Xiangjin was born. Her fifteenth birthday was spent in her hometown with the old lady. Cheng Fu was absent from time, and he always felt a little guilty in his heart. Therefore, for her sixteenth birthday, Mrs. Cheng is particularly concerned. also invited many ladies with good relationships to the banquet.
Cheng Xiangjin was pulled up by Qiaohui and others early in the morning to dress up. Don't, after a few girls carefully pinched it, it is really a few heights more beautiful than usual.
Especially those ladies who have only heard of her reputation and have never seen her, were even more surprised by her demure and generous appearance!
The new bride of the Wei family looks better than Xian'e, and now when she sees this Cheng family's daughter, she feels that the Wei Chen family is inferior.
If nothing else, the appearance of this Cheng girl is really impeccable, her temperament is quiet and elegant, and when she laughs, her eyes and smile are a little playful.
Although I didn't talk to her up close, it can be seen that she is a very easy to attract people's affection.
Especially the ladies of the two families who have sons, the more they look at her, the more pleasing they become!
Those who don't have sons also compare her with the bride of the Wei family in their hearts. Although the Wei Chen family's identity and appearance are all superior, compared with the child in front of him, there is always a feeling that the Wei family is talking nonsense!
Just as the banquet was about to end, Mrs. Cheng accompanied an old lady with silver hair and a dignified temperament out of the courtyard.
Some sharp-eyed ladies immediately recognized that this white-haired old man was Mrs. Xie, who didn't go out much in Mu Enhou Mansion all year round.
This old lady Xie seemed to be in a very good mood, and when she walked to the door, she personally took Cheng Xiangjin's hand and told her affectionately. Mrs. Cheng on the side was smiling with a smile on her face.
This scene suddenly made those ladies who were keen on gossip notice a little different.
Before the banquet ended, there was already news outside the Cheng Mansion that Xie Cheng's two families were about to get married.
It is rumored that there are noses and eyes, and there are even people, Mrs. Xie even gave her a personal token, which is a jade pendant inherited by the Xie family. According to this, the current Queen Mother didn't get it when she married into the palace.
Cheng Xiangjin, who was at home, was still accompanying Mrs. Cheng, so she naturally didn't know what was going on outside. But because of being on duty, Xie Lingfeng, who was unable to attend her birthday banquet, heard about it from his subordinates. After learning the news, he was a little confused, and he couldn't help but be happy.
He had long known that his grandmother liked Cheng Xiangjin, but he didn't expect to give him such a big surprise.
Cheng Chuyang, who was also in the ordnance superintendent, learned the news and ran back to his home Zheng as soon as he finished work
He wondered, he was also a member of the Cheng family, why did his grandmother and parents not mention a word to him about such a big matter as his sister's engagement?
Strange! It's amazing!
came out of the Changyang Palace, and by the way, he hurriedly went to Bai Su of Sanssouci Villa, and was even more stunned halfway when he heard the news.
He looked at the jar in his hand like a treasure, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
He had made an appointment with her that on her birthday, he would come to her with something mysterious. personally opened the jar of peach wine for her, and accompanied her to taste peach wine on this day when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
But she is going to be engaged to Xie Lingfeng?
Bai Su suppressed his frustration, and carefully recalled the matter of Cheng Xie and the two mansions in Chang'an City for a while, and it seemed that there was no news before.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was not true, so I hesitated for a while, and finally went to Chengfu with the jar as usual.
This time, he went directly to the Magnolia Temple.
In the Magnolia Courtyard, Cheng Xiangjin had just returned from Mrs. Cheng's side. I have been with a smiling face all morning, and now I have some cheek pain when I eat.
For so many years, it was the first time to hold such a grand birthday banquet. Now I have changed into that complicated and delicate dress, put on the green Luo skirt that I love every day, swinging, and eating snacks, and finally feel alive.
Ganlu looked at her sitting on the swing heartlessly, and was faintly anxious.
"Girl, have you forgotten anything today?"
Cheng Xiangjin spit out a melon seed skin when he heard this, looked suspicious, and said, "Have you forgotten?" This morning's dress was all according to my mother's request, nothing went wrong? Beads, silk flowers, necklaces, and jade bracelets were all worn, and they didn't lose anything? ”
When Ganlu heard this, her face suddenly turned into a bun.
"Oh, it's not what you're wearing, you're wearing it very well today, nothing went wrong."
"What's that? I don't remember what I forgot. ”
When Ganlu heard this, she immediately sympathized with Bai Su for a moment.
"Girl, have you forgotten the jar of peach wine that Mr. Yan gave you? Didn't you go with us and drink that jar of wine on your birthday? While appreciating peach blossoms, tasting peach wine is a kind of Yaxing! Why did you forget about it yourself? ”
Cheng Xiangjin was reminded by her and immediately stood up from the swing.
"Yes, it's the day of peach wine!" The thought of being able to taste the wine that I had coveted for a long time made me feel a little nervous. Just about to tell the manna to get it, he suddenly remembered the agreement between Bai Su and her on the day the second elder Cangyan left Beijing.
