Chapter 727: Full Moon Banquet: Provocation

Although Shi Qingqian and Shen Shu were not going to invite too many people to this full moon banquet today, what they didn't expect was that as soon as this worship post was sent out, they came with both of them. Originally, there were only about 20 people invited to the banquet, but in the end, about 40 people came, all with their families.

However, Shi Qingqian felt that it was good to be like this, at least she could get to know a few more women in Beijing, she was also a mother now, and she couldn't always be lazy to socialize with others like when she was not out of the cabinet. Besides, there are some people who come today with heads and faces, and they don't lose a lot of time.

Seeing that everyone is coming, the eldest lady will not stay in the house to watch Yao'er. Originally, he should have taken Yao'er out to ask his relatives and friends to take a look at him, but after the child was breastfeeding, he fell asleep, seeing that he was sleeping really soundly, Shen Shu couldn't bear to wake him up, so he said that if he woke up, he would take him out again.

A bunch of people were chatting and laughing at the banquet, eating wine and food. Sister Sheng had to sit next to Shi Qingqi, and Shi An had no choice but to help her change her seat, and kept saying that she was going to stay in the Hou Mansion and refused to leave.

"Auntie, this fruit wine is very delicious, why doesn't my aunt drink it?" Sister Sheng asked after drinking another glass of wine.

It's not surprising to find that the women of the family all learned how to eat wine at a young age, and besides, the boudoir drinks fruit wine, and Shi Qingqian prepares it too, just like fruit juice, there is no degree.

Shi Qingqian saw that she had finished drinking a glass again, so he could only pick up the wine jug and pour her another glass, "Although the wine is delicious, Sister Sheng, you don't have to be greedy for a cup." Your aunt and I have been unwell lately, and our faces are as yellow as paper, so I don't eat alcohol. ”

Sister Sheng nodded as if she didn't understand, but her expression seemed to have something else to say. Shi Qingqian had long noticed that her desire to speak had stopped, but she didn't smell good if she didn't say it. Seeing Sister Sheng bury her head and eat two bites of food, she raised her head, as if she had finally made up her mind, and said, "Auntie, who is the white-clothed adult sitting at the table next to her?" ”

"Huh?" Shi Qingqian followed his gaze, only to find that Sister Sheng was asking the musician sitting on the side, "That's the musician in the palace, you can call him the master." But...... How did you remember to ask him? ”

"Hmm......" Sister Sheng held the chopsticks in her hand and thought for a while, then said, "Just now I was in the back to help Sister Xiaolian and them watch the food, and I walked around the back of the house to see Brother Yao'er...... I heard a man from the palace pointing at the back of Master Si and saying something like 'mourning dog'. But I looked at that Master Si as if he was cold, how could he be insulted like this? ”

It's been so long, and there are still people who will scold Saalman for this matter? Shi Qing pouted, and the most important thing was that he dared to run to their house to scold people casually, which was too unknown to the etiquette of the occasion, so he tilted his head and asked, "Sister Rong, do you remember who was pointing and insulting him behind his back?" ”

Sister Rong looked around the crowd around her, but after all, her vision was limited, and there were many people sitting with their backs to her, and she couldn't recognize who was who for a while, so she had to shake her head, "I can't remember, but I should be able to recognize that person when I see him again...... Auntie, or shall I go and see? ”

"No need, you better eat well first," Shi Qingqian sighed in his heart, it was not very important at this time, and he still said, "You just remember not to learn such vulgar words in the future." ”

After eating a few more bites, Shi Qingqian felt a little full, and just when he wanted to leave the table to see Yao'er, he suddenly heard someone on the table next to him shouting: "Today I saw that the musicians in the palace are also here?" Presumably, the little prince specially invited us to come and cheer us up! ”

Shi Qingqian looked over, and only then did he recognize that this person turned out to be the Hubu Lin Shilang - the father of the concubine in the harem, because Shi Qingqian was implicated in the previous days when he tampered with the accounts with others, so he was demoted.

However, I heard that because of the presence of Jia Concubine, and Lin Shilang picked things up at that time, he was not dealt with much.

He said more seriously, he can be regarded as Shi Qingqian's enemy, and it is difficult for Yao'er to invite this person to the full moon banquet...... Shen Shu wanted to probe the tone of these people, and secretly find out who was behind the scenes that day?

Shi Qingqian was thinking about it, and felt that someone was pulling his clothes, and looked down to see that it was Sister Sheng, "Auntie, it's him, it's him who I heard scolding just now!" ”

It's good that I found the man at once. Shi Qingqian didn't leave, sat down again and patted Sister Sheng'er, telling her to concentrate on eating herself, and not to worry about the things on the side, while she stared at Lin Shilang seriously to see what kind of moth he was trying to make.

"Hello court musician, the attainments in music must be quite high, since the little prince has the heart to invite people here, then why not invite Lord Si to play a song here, so that we can enjoy it?"

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate," Shen Shu quietly poured him a glass of wine, "Master Si is a guest I invited from my post, so naturally he is not responsible for entertaining people." If Lin Shilang wants to hear it, I will ask Changwu to go to Lanxiang Pavilion and call a few people who sing small songs to let you have a good time. ”

Lin Shangshu raised his wine glass to express his gratitude, and said, "Hey, is this the little prince comparing the court musician with the Qinglou performer?" I know that the little prince is generous, and a small musician also invited him, but the musician is a musician after all, so what's wrong with me asking him to do the job to help everyone? ”

This Lin Shilang is really good at misinterpreting people, Shen Shu obviously didn't mean that, he clearly said that Si Le was also a guest of Yanwang Mansion and a guest. Lin Shangshu did this well, firstly, he insulted the Sile people, and secondly, he let everyone know that Yanwangfu was looking at a 'Qinglou shower' in his eyes, as if the threshold of Yanwangfu was low, and everyone could come in.

It is naturally unpleasant for others to hear thisβ€”I am an official of the imperial court, and now a small musician can sit at the same table. You can't help but think about it.

Saalman held the wine glass in his hand, and his glasses did not go up, but every word was heard clearly. finally came to the banquet, and he didn't want to think twice about mixing up other people's good things, so he still stood up.

"Brother......

"Come on, Chengfu, bring the guqin from the house and put it in the courtyard!" Shi Qingqian suddenly spoke loudly, directly interrupted the Si Le who was about to speak, and said with a smile, "Since Lin Shilang wants to listen, how can I improve your temperament?" ”

Si Le was stunned, and suddenly there was a layer of sadness in his eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "That...... The minister will present a song to the little prince and Princess Yan. ”
