Chapter 65: Lin Mansion's Birthday Banquet
Taking advantage of Shunzi's hesitation, Han Jinxiu took out a wooden hairpin and a pink handkerchief from his sleeve and threw them to Shunzi one by one, so that he could identify them carefully.
Junzi looked at these things in front of him in disbelief, and quickly picked them up and carefully identified them, this is indeed something he is familiar with, so she is really in Han Jinxiu's hands. Taking a deep breath, Junko said softly, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
"What to do, it's very simple, tell us what happened, I promise that Lord Wang of Dali Temple will deal with it impartially, and of course your sister will always be safe." Han Jinxiu said word by word from his mouth, his eyes were clear.
Sister, it is indeed a sister, this is still the news that Han Jinxiu instructed Ah Ling to investigate, at this moment Junzi's sister is in their hands, but they have to hurry up, if they are discovered, it will definitely startle the snake and cause unnecessary trouble.
The two words of sister became the last straw that broke Shunzi, he could only choose to listen to Han Jinxiu's words and explain the matter 1510, regardless of Wang Qian's irritability.
Han Jinxiu walked over to Shunzi: "What you said is true?" ”
"Yes, the villain already knows everything, and please spare my sister." Junko lowered her eyes and pleaded.
Han Jinxiu glanced at Wang Qian, and it was for her sister, it was really funny, and said slowly; "You said that it was King Yu who asked you to do this, and Wang Qian confessed his sins and took the sins in order to protect King Yu. However, I didn't save your sister from the hands of King Yu, you are lying, it's all this time, you still want to deceive people, don't you? "People, they don't give up until they don't see the Yellow River, and they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin.
Wang Qian was stunned, he didn't save his sister from King Yu, who was that? Junko is lying to him? Impossible, Shunzi is the son of the Wang family and is loyal to him, this time because of his sister who has been separated for many years and was threatened by King Yu.
King Lu finished perfunctory Concubine Wu Xian, and quickly left the palace, he got a letter written by the county lord of Yonghe, and the county lord of Yonghe left the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang and went to live in the Lin mansion. In the Lin Mansion, the county lord of Yonghe is a guest, so he can naturally come out and walk around more, unlike in the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, the eldest princess is very strict with the county lord of Yonghe.
The two made an appointment to meet at the inn, and as soon as they pushed the door open, King Lu couldn't wait to look for the county lord Yonghe in the house, found the green figure, hurriedly closed the door and walked towards her, and said softly: "Pianpian, I'm here." ”
As soon as he turned around, the county lord of Yonghe said excitedly: "Third brother, you are here." Then he was stared at by King Lu, blushing shyly, and looking down at the pink embroidered shoes under his feet.
Stretching out his hand to lead the county lord of Yonghe to sit down, King Lu talked to her for a while, and before leaving, King Lu asked cautiously: "Pianpian, can I kiss you?" ”
Lord Yonghe: "······" Was he stupid to ask her what she was doing? Let her answer how.
Suddenly, there was a maid figure outside the door, signaling that it was time for the county lord Yonghe to return to the Lin Mansion.
The county lord of Yonghe quickly looked up at King Lu and said, "Third brother, I'm leaving." Lifting the corners of his skirt, he walked with brisk steps.
After a long time, King Lu came back to his senses, and Concubine Wu Xian's familiar face appeared in front of him, which shocked him, damn it, he didn't mention Concubine Wu Xian's kiss to him today, and he patted his head heavily in annoyance, this is not when he saw Pian Pian happy, he forgot about it. Two days later, he will be able to see Pian Pian again, and he must mention it to Pian Pian when the time comes, and he can't forget it anymore.
On April 12, Lin Cifu's wife Hua's fiftieth birthday, the Lin Mansion was very lively. Yang Shoufu has been saying that he was sick these days and did not go to the court, King Yu was punished by His Majesty, and the affairs of the court were handled by Lin Cifu to help His Majesty, so today's Lin Fu's birthday banquet, the guests who came to the Lin Mansion were endless, and the door was like a city.
Lin Cifu and his wife have two sons in law and a daughter-in-law under their knees, and the eldest son, Lin Xunshang, became the eldest princess of Jinyang and became a concubine, but unfortunately died young. Lin Yuan, the second son, has been serving in Jiangnan, and this time it coincided with the 50th birthday of Mrs. Lin Cifu's wife, and he rushed back from Jiangnan with his family to congratulate Mrs. Lin on her birthday. The daughter-in-law Lin Lian married in Jinan, and this time she also specially brought her husband and sister-in-law back to congratulate Mrs. Lin on her birthday.
Lord Yonghe has always been by Mrs. Lin's side, and finally had the opportunity to get in close contact with her. Mrs. Lin couldn't ask for it, and she wished she could keep the county lord of Yonghe by her side. Whenever she sees the county lord of Yonghe, she will think of Lin Xun, the eldest son who died early, resenting God's injustice, jealousy of talents, her eldest son is so good, it is her pride.
Of course, whoever let the county lord of Yonghe have an eldest princess mother, Mrs. Lin's thoughts can only be thought about in the bottom of her heart, and she should be content if she can spend a few days together.
Mrs. Lin's second daughter-in-law, that is, the wife of her second son Lin Yuan, Li and her daughter-in-law Lin Lian greeted the guests at the second gate.
Lin Lanlan is the eldest daughter of Lin Yuan, the second son, who is seventeen years old this year, one year older than the county lord of Yonghe, and is the cousin of the county lord of Yonghe. But from the time Lin Lanlan entered the house to the present, all Mrs. Lin's eyes fell on the county lord of Yonghe, and she greeted her coldly, so what about her? Isn't it the grandmother's granddaughter, why does the grandmother favor one over the other? Just because of the early death of the father of the county lord of Yonghe, and the mother of the eldest princess, the grandmother is so eccentric and treats her as transparent air?
For this reason, Lin Lanlan wrung the white silk handkerchief in her hand, and felt a burst of chagrin in her heart, she knew that in this way, she should have gone to the second gate with her mother to greet the guests, it was better than sitting here and being angry, hum!
I saw Mrs. Lin clasping the cold little hand of the county lord of Yonghe and said, "What are you all still doing, hurry up and get a handbag for the county lord." "The girl's little hands are so cold, I'm afraid it's rare.
Hearing this, the county lord of Yonghe hurriedly shook his head: "No need, grandmother, thank you grandmother for your concern, it will be fine later." ”
"How's that going to work?" Mrs. Lin frowned, she knew that she had not met the county lord of Yonghe many times, but this was the only bloodline left by her eldest son, she was so careless, it would have an impact on the woman's physical education in the future, the eldest princess of Jinyang was so careless, Mrs. Lin calculated in her heart, she had to mention it to the eldest princess of Jinyang, or let the county lord of Yonghe stay in the Lin Mansion, and let her watch the county lord of Yonghe get married.
The county lord of Yonghe gently swayed Mrs. Lin's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, it's true, it'll be fine in a while, thank you for your concern." Grandmother, today is your old man's birthday, don't think about it so much, just think about how to receive gifts for a while. "Big eyes that wink, blink.
Being intimate with Mrs. Lin like this made Mrs. Lin laugh out loud involuntarily, and she also stretched out her hand to point the tip of the nose of the county lord of Yonghe, and said dotingly: "You girl, clever ghost." If you go to the storehouse tomorrow and see if you have a customary gift, even if you take it back, it will be given to you by your grandmother. ”
Hearing this, Lin Lanlan couldn't sit still for an instant, and looked at Mrs. Lin and the county lord of Yonghe deeply.
"Then Pian Pian thanks grandmother." The county lord of Yonghe responded with a smile, for her, she was used to seeing the treasures of the eldest princess's mansion, and she didn't pay attention to these birthday gifts of Mrs. Lin, the reason why she said this was to make Mrs. Lin happy, so that she could have the opportunity to go out and secretly see King Lu, so as to cover her up. Mother once said that her marriage must not have anything to do with the royal family, and must stay away from the royal family.
"Well, good boy." Mrs. Lin seems to have forgotten that there is another granddaughter in the house.
Soon, I heard the sparse footsteps in the yard, and I was afraid that a guest had come to congratulate Mrs. Lin on her birthday. Chengguo Duchess Yao led a group of ladies to come together, Mrs. Lin is today's birthday star, yes, but the county lord of Yonghe has the highest position here, and when everyone saw her, they naturally took the lead in saluting her.
The county lord of Yonghe said softly: "Ladies, hurry up and excuse me. "This is grandmother's birthday banquet, she can't mess it up, it reaches the ears of the eldest princess of Jinyang, then the first one will catch her back, she doesn't want to go back.
The eldest princess and the third princess didn't come, it was the crown princess and the second princess who congratulated Mrs. Lin on her birthday in the palace, as soon as the second princess got into the carriage, the moment she saw Han Jinxiu, she opened her mouth, she could go with her sister-in-law, it was really good.
The two muttered on the carriage, and soon the carriage was heard in the Lin Mansion, and the palace people helped the crown princess and the second princess to get out of the carriage. Then there was a commotion in the Lin Mansion, and soon the guests, together with today's birthday Mrs. Lin and the county lord of Yonghe, all arrived at the door to welcome the arrival of the crown princess and the second princess.
Han Jinxiu smiled: "Everyone is flat. "She is a guest, and she should be a guest.
Immediately afterwards, Han Jinxiu and the second princess followed Mrs. Lin to the courtyard, and they were followed by many young girls, so they naturally had to join in the fun.
The closest person to the county lord of Yonghe in the palace is the third princess, the concubine of Empress Chen. For the eldest princess, she doesn't like it, she doesn't like the second princess either, she is very disgusted with the crown princess, women who are different from the outside, but under the banquet in the East Palace that day, the prince was quite polite to her. Hmph, why does a nasty woman accept everyone's salutes, is it just because of her status as the crown princess?
Because of the presence of the crown princess, the second princess, and the lord of Yonghe, the ladies spoke very carefully, for fear of making the nobles angry if they were unhappy.
It didn't take long for everyone to hear that the two princes of King Lu and King Zhan were coming, and the prince was already weak, as for King Yu, everyone knew that he was punished by His Majesty for Wang Qian's affairs, twenty big boards, that is not a small number, and at this moment King Yu is lying on the collapse to recuperate.
Lin Cifu's wife's birthday, the crown princess, the second princess, King Lu and King Zhan came to the palace, which shows the importance of the imperial court to Lin Cifu. This time, thanks to Yang Shoufu and the imperial examination fraud case, otherwise Mrs. Lin's birthday would not be so grand, and the crowd would be like a market.
Concubine Yang De, who was in the palace, learned the news, and got up angrily and swept the cups, plates and bowls on the table to the ground. In the past, when my father was still highly valued by His Majesty, they all ran to the Yang Mansion, and then they ran to Lin Cifu's Mansion, which was really a bastard.
Holding a breath in her chest, she couldn't vent it, Yang Defei had a gloomy face, Yang Shoufu also wrote an excerpt today, which said that he had no way to teach, after all, Wang Qian was his protégé, Wang Qian led this year's imperial examination fraud case, Yang Shoufu could not escape the blame, improper employment and unknown people. His Majesty pressed Yang Shoufu's fold and let him recuperate in the mansion, and his affairs were temporarily accepted by Lin Cifu.
Once the rights belonging to Yang Shoufu are transferred to Lin Cifu, Yang Shoufu wants to take it back, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, and all this will require more thought. Finally, her father climbed to his current position step by step, just because of a Wang Qian, as well as her King Yu, every time she thought of this, Concubine Yang Defei couldn't wait to kill Wang Qian, which affected her father and her son.
Male guests and female guests are naturally separated, this is the rule, Lin Cifu repeatedly told Mrs. Lin and the housekeeper and others a few days ago, this time Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet can never make the slightest mistake, let people grasp the handle, that's bad, he finally got through, but he didn't want to lose a little bit because of Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet.
Originally, Lin Cifu wanted to have a simple family meal, so he was done. Unexpectedly, so many ministers came to greet him in advance, saying that they were coming to congratulate Mrs. Lin on her birthday, and a pair of children also persuaded him, and finally Lin Cifu compromised, so listen to them. It doesn't hurt to make a big one, even His Majesty let go of the congratulatory gift, and a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Cifu's mouth, this birthday banquet was well organized.
A little maid wearing blue clothes and combing a double bun walked to Han Jinxiu's side with sugar water, and accidentally spilled sugar water on Han Jinxiu's dress.
In an instant, the little maid knelt on the ground with a thud and said nervously: "The crown princess forgives her sins, the slave and maid deserve to die, and the slave and maid deserve to die." "Let the crown princess make a fool of herself in public, how can you spare her.
Everyone's eyes fell on Han Jinxiu, and they saw her calmly say, "Get up." "Whether this maid is intentional or not, she can't be sent at this time, besides, she is still waiting for today's big show! Then she fell on the young girl in purple clothes not far away, and then looked at the second princess beside her and said, "Second sister, accompany the palace to change clothes." ”
The second princess couldn't sit still for a long time, and wanted to go out to breathe, Han Jinxiu said this, she couldn't ask for it, and she was busy responding: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go with you." ”
Mrs. Lin glanced at the maid on the ground, ordered the first-class maid beside her, and led Han Jinxiu and the second princess to the backyard to change clothes. Such a heavy scene actually made a joke for her, and Han Jinxiu didn't have a seizure, otherwise, she cursed the woman in blue who was kneeling on the ground fiercely in her heart.
It seemed that the air was much fresher when she came out, and the second princess blinked: "Imperial sister-in-law, otherwise we will come out and walk around, how about it?" "After eating so many pastries and tea in the house, my stomach is already full, and I don't even have the heart to eat dinner.
Han Jinxiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, the imperial sister-in-law will accompany you." ”
