Chapter 253: Banquet, Undercurrents Are Surging Together

Jingbei Hou Mansion

The Marquis of Jingbei held a banquet on the birthday of the Yang family, inviting many guests, and the Marquis of Jingbei was very lively for a while.

Most of the people in the capital came to congratulate, of course, they also wanted to take a look at Jingbei Hou, the wife who had been suppressed by the concubine for many years. Everyone knows that the Marquis of Jingbei spoils the concubine and kills his wife, and he does not favor a good wife, but has a soft spot for the concubine Zhou, and the poor Mrs. Jingbei Marquis Yang is obviously the wife of the Ming media but is snubbed by her husband, the middle feed in the house is not in her hand, the husband does not even enter her room, and the children she gives birth to are not favored and are neglected. And she herself has been lying in a hospital bed for more than ten years.

I thought this life was like this, but who knows, and suddenly I don't know what's wrong?

Mrs. Jingbei Hou regained her favor and had a big quarrel with Jingbei Hou, and then Jingbei Hou took the initiative to soften, not only personally took her back to the house, but now she is holding a birthday banquet for her, making it clear that she is telling everyone that Mrs. Jingbei Hou is this Mrs. Yang, not the flat wife Zhou.

There are many nobles in the capital, and some people have known the Yang family in the past, but now that the Yang family is on a good day, how can they not come?

The Yang family was busy greeting guests, she was originally from a scholarly family, her father was an official to the Taifu, some courtiers were even students of Yang Taifu, and when they saw the Yang family today, they also came forward to salute, speaking of which are some in-laws and friends, although they have not moved for many years, but now that everyone has held a banquet, they should also take the initiative to get close.

Huo Zhirou stood on the side, seeing the Yang family smiling and smiling around the female dependents, her face was very ugly. Obviously, the person who has been in charge of the middle feed in the house for so many years is her mother-in-law Zhou, but now it's good, the Yang family holds a banquet, and it is clear that the banquet is all managed by the Zhou family, but I don't want the Zhou family to be a little uncomfortable when he is about to go out, and he has no choice but to lie down in the room to recuperate.

And the world outside seems to have become Yang's.

Huo Zhirou looked at this scene, and felt uncomfortable.

"Miss, why don't you go and sit over there?" Cui'er followed behind Huo Zhirou and said cautiously.

Huo Zhirou looked at Yang and became angry, she looked around, but she didn't find Huo Sijin's figure, and asked Cui'er, "Where is Huo Changjin?" See her mom again? ”

Cui'er shook her head, "No, maybe in the main hall, right?" ”

The corners of Huo Zhirou's lips hooked a strange arc, and today she was going to ruin her reputation.

"Let's go, go to the main hall."

Huo Zhirou raised her feet and went to the main hall, but she didn't see Huo Sijin, only looked at Huo Sijin's back faintly.

Huo Zhirou hurriedly chased forward, "Big brother stay." In front of so many people, Huo Zhirou didn't call her by name.

Huo Sijin stopped when he heard her voice, looked back at her, and looked at her with a puzzled face, but he didn't speak.

"Big brother, where are you going?" Huo Zhirou is not a person who is particularly good at hiding things, and when she speaks now, she can't hide the ill-will on her face.

Huo Sijin glanced at her lightly, then ignored her and walked straight forward.

"What are you running!" Huo Zhirou caught up again, but Huo Sijin's steps were huge, and her legs were longer than Huo Zhirou, but after three or two steps, Huo Zhirou couldn't catch up.

Cui'er ran behind panting, "Miss, don't chase it, it's not time yet." ”

"I always feel that it is not enough, not enough to relieve my anger." Huo Zhirou said viciously.

She hated Huo Sijin so much that she wanted to tear her apart.

Cui'er lowered her head and didn't speak, how can she relieve her anger......

"Useless stuff!" Huo Zhirou glared at Cui'er angrily, "Let you give Miss Ben an idea, you can't think of it, what does Miss Ben want you to do!" ”

Cui'er just couldn't hear it, and still didn't answer.

Huo Zhirou was exhausted, so she simply ignored Cui'er anymore, and walked straight forward, she had a good relationship with several noble girls, and she happened to talk to them.

However, halfway through, I saw a familiar person - Zhou Jinzhi.

"Uncle." Huo Zhirou stepped forward and respectfully greeted Zhou Jinzhi, "Uncle, are you here too?" ”

Huo Zhirou thought it was quite strange, although Zhou Jinzhi was her uncle, she had never come to the banquet over the years, and only occasionally came over in private. Because of the lack of contacts, many people in the capital do not know that Zhou Jinzhi and Zhou are sisters and brothers.

Zhou Jinzhi looked at Huo Zhirou, "What about your mother?" ”

"My mother is sick, recuperating in the room, and I can't go out." Huo Zhirou said helplessly. If her mother is here, where will there be Yang's place to speak.

"Uncle is going to see my mother?" Huo Zhirou asked, she was about to say that she took him over, but she didn't want Zhou Jinzhi to shake her head and say, "No need, I'll walk around." ”

The implication is that not only does she not need to take him to visit Zhou, but she also does not need her to follow.

Huo Zhirou can be horizontal in front of others, but for some reason she is always afraid of this little uncle, in front of Zhou Jinzhi, she doesn't dare to make a mistake.

Zhou Jinzhi's footsteps were very fast, and he walked through several courtyards, and then finally saw the person he wanted to see - Huo Sijin.

"Huo Shizi." Zhou Jinzhi stepped forward and greeted Huo Sijin.

Huo Sijin returned the salute, his attitude was slightly detached, Zhou Jinzhi was not surprised, he had no contact with Huo Sijin originally.

"Today is a good day for Huo Shizi's mother, the official came to join in the fun, Huo Shizi won't be unwelcome, right?" Zhou Jinzhi looked at Huo Sijin with a smile.

Huo Sijin shook his head and said lightly, "No." ”

When Zhou Jinyi heard this voice, he felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong with Huo Shizi's voice?" It sounds a little dumb. ”

Huo Sijin glanced at Fei Yu, and Fei Yu answered for him, "Our son was accidentally infected with the wind cold yesterday, so his voice was a little hoarse, and the doctor said that he should talk less." ”

Zhou Jinzhi glanced at Huo Sijin a few more times, raised his eyebrows and said, "Such a coincidence? ”

It was such a coincidence that at Yang's birthday banquet, he had a dumb throat the day before.

His question directly made Huo Sijin's heart skip a beat, but she had always been steady, her face was not obvious, and her expression was still light.

"Huo Shizi, I'm looking for you, so you're here." At this time, Zheng Changdong walked over.

"Isn't this Lord Tobe Shangshu Zhou? Lord Zhou is polite. Zheng Changdong seemed to have just seen Zhou Jinzhi when he came over, and politely greeted him.

Zhou Jinzhi also returned a salute, "Zheng is polite." ”

"Huo Shizi, let's go, have two drinks with me." Zheng Changdong dragged Huo Sijin away.

However, when dragged to no one's place, Zheng Changdong lowered his voice and said, "Who are you?" ”

Others can't see it, but Zheng Changdong can see it at a glance, and the face is a human skin mask, which is the one made by Zheng Changqing.

Fang Mu remembered that Huo Sijin had explained to him that the people in the East Palace could be trusted, and in addition to the fact that he was in Huzhou before, he was also quite familiar with the Zheng brothers, so he revealed his identity, "Brother Zheng, it's me." ”

"Little wood?" As soon as Zheng Changdong heard this voice, he immediately knew who it was.

"How are you? What about Huo Shizi? Zheng Changdong asked.

Fang Mu replied: "The prince is not here, the prince has an important task entrusted to me today, Brother Zheng, don't demolish me, this is what the prince meant." ”

Zheng Changdong naturally wouldn't demolish him, Fang Mu was Huo Sijin's person, so letting him pretend to be Huo Sijin was also Huo Sijin's own meaning.

"What did Shizi tell you to do?" Zheng Changdong asked.

Fang Mu didn't answer, "The prince said that in order to prevent the stuffing from being exposed, I can't tell you." Brother Zheng, if someone asks me to talk to me for a while, you can help me, my voice is indeed not like the son of the world. ”

"I suspect that Zhou Jinzhi just now, he may already doubt me." This is what Fang Mu is most worried about.

Zheng Changdong responded, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on Zhou Jinzhi and don't let him get close to you." ”

With Zheng Changdong here, Fang Mu was much more relieved, "Then trouble Brother Zheng." ”

"You call me Brother Zheng, but you refuse to tell me what the hell is going on." Zheng Changdong sighed helplessly.

Fang Mu said in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, forgive me, the prince knows that you will find it, so he instructed me in advance, if you ask, just say so." The prince also said that after this incident, he will make amends to you. ”

Zheng Changdong shook his head and chuckled, "There's no need to make amends, I'm not really angry." Little wood, there are a lot of people here, you have to be more careful. ”
