Eating very comfortably, Shi Qingqian was satisfied with touching his bulging belly (in fact, it had been bulging all the time), watching Xue Ying and his quick movements put the dishes and chopsticks into the food box.

"By the way, husband, have you heard about Yuan Yun and Yuan Shu?" Shi Qingqian sat for a while, suddenly thought, and hurriedly asked the person in front of him.

Shen Shu's eyes were cold, he only nodded slightly, and was silent for a moment before saying: "If you do such an ugly thing, don't pay attention to them, and let them fend for themselves!" ”

Shi Qingqian pursed his lips, knowing that this kind of thing and Shen Shu can't be discussed properly, since he already knows it, that's it, as for how to deal with it afterwards and how to make up for it, with Shen Shu's temperament, he can't think about it - he is too lazy to care about this kind of thing, maybe men are like this, and said: 'Informal'.

The two of them were resting enough and were about to go out to deal with the wedding banquet again, when suddenly a person walked in outside the door, Shi Qingqian was slightly flustered, and only then did he recognize that it was General Chu, who was slightly drunk. General Chu was also stunned when he saw the two, and then he re-entered after exiting and looking at the sign in the tea hall, and said in a daze: "Little Lord Yan, Princess Yan, why are you two here?" ”

"It's really noisy outside, my lady and I came to the teahouse to have a cup of tea and rest," Shen Shu replied without panic, and nodded slightly to General Chu, "Why is General Chu here too?" ”

General Chu is the uncle of the three girls of Dingwangfu, and Shi Qingqian's impression of him is very simple: he is a military general with no sense of existence, and he doesn't come and go much on weekdays, but he is a real person.

At this time, he saw that his face was flushed, and his eyes were a little confused, but he didn't make any very outrageous moves, but stopped far away when he saw the two of them in the house, which showed that he was a very polite and thoughtful person, he raised his hand to the two of them and replied with a wry smile: "It's not the group of people outside!" The wine is really powerful, I really can't resist, I'm afraid that I'm going to go up if I drink it, so I quickly found an excuse to run out, thinking about coming to the teahouse to find a bowl of tea and eat sobering wine. ”

Hearing this, Shi Qingqian hurriedly turned his head sideways and whispered to Xue Ying, telling her to go and bring a cup of tea to General Chu.

After a bowl of hot tea, the confusion in General Chu's eyes was much lighter, and he thanked Shi Qingqian with a loud smile, and then said: "By the way, little prince, father-in-law, they are eating tea and talking in Mingtang, and it seems that someone is looking for you, why don't you go over and sit together?" I just happened to ask for a blessing not to go back to eat their wine! ”

Shen Shu was so happy that he nodded happily, and General Chu said again: "By the way, there are also a few ladies in Mingtang, Princess Yan will either go too, right?" ”

Anyway, Shi Qingqian went back to sit and talk, it was better to sit down and stay in a slightly more elegant and quiet place, Shen Shu thought about it, and saw that Shi Qingqian did not resist in his eyes, so he chuckled: "Let's go?" Wife. ”

There are more than a dozen men and five or six women sitting in the Ming Hall, each Ming Hall is already wide, and the Dingwang Mansion is the size of more than half a basketball court, and it is not crowded when you sit up, but it feels a little empty. Fortunately, the screen with "Du Fuzi's Study Map" printed on it was blocked, so that people did not feel very empty.

Shi Qingqian didn't know much, but he saw that there were two gray-haired old men, King Ding and King Rong, sitting on the top, Princess An sitting on one side, and the rest were the high-ranking officials in the court, the sons and ladies in the palace. Shi Yuan was supposed to come too, but he was infected with a cold the day before yesterday, but fortunately he asked his aunt's daughter to eat a few glasses of wine instead of him.

As soon as the two came, the well-trained female envoy arranged the seats and warm tea and snacks, and Shi Qingqian turned his head and saw a familiar face: Yo, this is not Second Mrs. Feng.

But she was ready to ignore it, and walked to the middle to face the two old princes and a princess, and smiled lightly: "The younger generation has seen Uncle Dinghuang, Uncle Ronghuang, and Aunt Dinghuang." ”

"Get up and sit down! You girl, you have to worship something when you're pregnant! Princess Ding hurriedly got up and helped her up, laughing and scolding twice, "Su'er, you can't do this, your lady is still pregnant, and you don't have to bow down to her!" ”

Shi Qingqian has interacted with Princess Ding several times, and the relationship is quite harmonious and friendly. It is said that she has been fasting and reciting Buddha all her life, and she has always been kind to others, but she and King Ding are really idle clouds and wild cranes, speaking of which she is too lazy to have a relationship with people on weekdays, and she is not even too lazy to say good things, but now she has said so, Shi Qingqian thought, it seems that this old lady is really happy.

Shi Qingqian smiled like the sun shining in the sky, and said: "Aunt Dinghuang, don't blame him, isn't it because I'm afraid that I can't rely on my aunt to eat a few more bowls of tea if the etiquette is not careful!" Now that I have made a big gift in accordance with the rules, Aunt Huang wants to drive me again, and I won't follow it! ”

"You little! You have relied on me! Aunt Dinghuang also laughed and joked, and pulled Shi Qingqian to her seat.

At the beginning, the topic was nothing more than praising Shi Qingqian for his elegant conversation and good temperament. Shi Qingqian is actually very unaccustomed to being praised like this, not to mention that in the house, except for the second lady Feng, they are all relatives of the emperor and rich families, but Shen Shu is not at all, others will praise Shi Qingqian to the sky, and he is still inexplicably proud there, and he has not noticed Shi Qingqian's slight embarrassment.

The second lady Feng on the opposite side wanted to grit her teeth, and she came to the door except for the symbolic greetings of the prince to continue, and no one paid attention to it, and occasionally a lady said a few words to herself, but she quickly changed the topic, it was really 'waterlogging and drought'!

When the men spoke, Shi Qingqian didn't interject at all, but only put on a very serious appearance. Everyone chatted for a while, and suddenly they didn't know what was said over there, and General Chu, who was a little drunk, suddenly burst into tears, and said in a bent voice: "Now that I see Brother Wen, I feel more and more ashamed!" I am a few years older than Brother Wen, but I have repeatedly failed the imperial examination...... Alas, it's really faceless! ”

The people on the side also bowed a little, and only stammered comfortingly: "What's this, what's this?" It's just a imperial examination! In fact, he really didn't know how to speak, but he was afraid that what he said would not irritate him more.

Seeing that his uncle was like this, Prince Ding only waved his hand and asked the female envoy to prepare a bowl of sobering soup for him, and said, "Okay, you have taken the road of a military attaché, and what are you going to do to regret the imperial examination?" ”

"The son-in-law is just guilty!" General Chu suddenly said excitedly, "Now that all the high-ranking friends are doing great things, I am the only one who has done nothing, and I even have a imperial examination...... Alas! ”

Shi Qingqian suddenly remembered his third brother Shi Ke, who was also a frank civil official back then, but finally took the military attaché's side, but he never had such thoughts.

Seeing that General Chu was crying non-stop, and the faces of the prince and the prince Rong were already a little tired, Shi Qingqian was afraid that he would be very unhappy again, so he had to get up and bless General Chu in a proper manner, and replied softly: "General Chu, since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and the imperial examination is just a small road, why is it a hero to judge success or failure?" Throughout the ages, the free imperial examination of famous scholars has not gone well, and the former general Wu of the dynasty was fifty years old and led the troops to the battle, the glory of Fang, General Chu was young, and he should have been ambitious, how can he be called now that he has fallen into ambition and is difficult to pay? ”

Shi Qingqian glanced at Shen Shu and saw that he had affirmation in his eyes, so he continued: "You say, is it so reasonable? ”
