Chapter 378: The Wedding Banquet
Mingxin still didn't give up, and she went to find several famous Langzhong, but none of these people could see what kind of poison she had.
Some even said that she was not poisoned, but her skin was uncomfortable, but the lotion she prescribed did not work at all, and the rash on Mingxin's hand gradually expanded, and by night it had spread to her wrist.
Mingxin couldn't help but think of what Doctor Lu said, and the poisonous gas attack immortal could not save him, and he was completely desperate.
During dinner, she didn't go to Zhang's side to serve, but only said that she had a headache and wanted to rest early.
She is the old man in front of the Zhang family, so this is naturally nothing.
Zhang also sent someone to ask her if she needed to invite Lang Zhong, and Ming Xin hurriedly said no, if Zhang knew that she had been poisoned and threatened at this juncture, she was only afraid that she would die faster.
Although Mingxin has become a monk, he can't do much after all, and the four are empty.
She is greedy for life and money, and she can't give up either.
In a blink of an eye, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Wei family held a banquet.
After all, it is the Duke's Palace, although it is only a concubine's marriage pomp, it is also very impressive.
It's just that the people who usually come to congratulate are the juniors in each family, and there are not many real family heads and family masters and wives present.
In the final analysis, the Wei family is not powerful enough now, and secondly, its reputation is not good.
It's just that among the many guests, there are really a few characters.
The first is Xiao Taifu, as the emperor and his daughter is already the crown princess, he is the future prince, not only with respectful status but also with noble character, which is not something that ordinary people can invite.
The second is Yan Kentang, the most highly regarded young civil official today, he is very self-disciplined, and he easily does not have personal relations with others, and it is really surprising that he came to the Wei family today.
"I really can't see that this Wei family can invite these two," someone who also came to the wedding banquet whispered in private: "This Grandpa Wei is not here, who has such a big face?" ”
"What you said is not good, even if Grandpa Wei is at home, how can he invite these two with his face?" Someone in the know took over and said, "It should be the fifth girl of his family, and it is said that the invitation to the wedding banquet was sent by her personally." ”
"You're afraid that what you're saying is not true, right? One of the two is a veteran minister of the Three Dynasties, and the other is a rookie in Shilin, how can a mere little girl have such a big face? Some people don't believe it: "What's more, she is an identity that is not embarrassing or embarrassing." ”
"It's only been half a year since you returned to the capital, and I don't blame you for not knowing what is going on here." The person before smiled and said: "This fifth girl is not simple, she is the benefactor of the Yan family and the Xiao family, and the young ladies of these two families are friends with each other, Miss Xiao and Miss Yan Jiu are the pearls of their respective mansions, what is there to do with her father and brother." ”
No matter what others said, after Taifu Xiao and Yan Kentang entered the Wei family, they were immediately greeted respectfully and sat in the most honorable seat.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to set the meal, the delicacies, the jade bowls and the tooth chopsticks, and everyone was happy with the wine.
Wei Yining helped entertain the ladies who came from each family in the back hall, and when he saw that the banquet was nearing the end, he quietly glanced at Ruyi on the side.
Ruyi took the wine jug in her hand, Wei Yining quietly turned around and went out, everyone didn't care, thinking that she was going to change her clothes.
Wei Yining walked out with his head down, and Chunjiao followed suit.
"Girl, where are you going?" Chunjiao asked a little strangely when she saw that she was not going to her yard.
"I have something to ask you for," Wei Yining saw her follow, so he stopped and said, "You go and bring in an old mother from the third brother of the Shao family, and take her to the small mountain house in the back first." ”
"What are you doing there with the Shao family's mother-in-law?" Chunjiao was puzzled.
"The stakes are too high, I can't tell you too much, but don't be surprised when you see that woman, and be careful that she is not seen." Wei Yining went after speaking, although Chunjiao was a little puzzled, she also did as Wei Yining instructed.
It's just that she was really taken aback when she saw that mother-in-law, although the other party was much thinner than before, she still recognized it, this was clearly the dead mother of the country.
But with Wei Yining's advice before, coupled with Shao Yang's indifferent expression, Chunjiao knew that this matter was very important, so she hid all her surprise and panic, and took Mother Guo into the circle.
Wei Yining came out to answer the Bao family, and so far he can't let the mother of the country and the Bao family meet, so as not to collude with the two of them.
The Wei family has no men, so these male guests in front of them are all accompanied by the Shao family, and the housekeeper of the Wei family is a subordinate in the end, so he has to do something to usher in and send to the envoy's maid.
As the banquet drew to a close, some people had already gotten up and were ready to leave the table, and the butler had no choice but to see off the guests.
Here, Shao Nan Shi Ran got up and whispered a few words in front of his father Shao Tianzi.
Shao Tong accompanied a few colleagues from the six departments out of the door, and Shao Yang went to intercept the housekeeper, saying that there was a table of guests who wanted wine.
Shao Tianzi walked up to Mrs. Xiao and Yan Kentang, and Shi Li said, "Please follow me to the middle hall." ”
Because Wei Yining personally went to the mansion to ask for help, these two people didn't say much at this time, and went straight to the middle hall with Shao Tianzi.
Wei Yining came back to the banquet, and the banquet was almost dispersed, because this Zhang family led the practice, so today's banquet did not come forward.
Wei Aluan has been accompanying her mother, Wei Yining came over and said: "Uncle and several brothers are in the middle hall, why don't we go over, today's banquet is delicious, everyone thinks they have eaten a little too much, and walking a few steps can be regarded as eliminating food." ”
Wei Aluan thought about things thoughtfully, so he said: "Since this is the case, please invite the second old lady out as well!" It's all my own family, not to mention that it's rare to see each other in previous years. ”
"My aunt is right, I'll go and ask for it." Wei Yimi agreed with a smile, and no one needed to follow, so she went directly to the backyard to invite Zhang.
When Zhang came to the middle hall, he saw many people sitting in the room.
There are Mrs. Zhu, Wei Aluan and his wife, and the three children of the Shao family.
The twin daughters are not there, and there are a few other subordinates.
When the Zhang family came in, the guard Aluan took the initiative to step forward and help her sit down, and sat next to Mrs. Zhu.
After a brief greeting, Shao Tong stepped forward and said: "It's rare to be lively today, I met a female ancestor on the street a few days ago, and told a set of fresh stories, I thought it was strange and interesting to listen to, so I simply brought her into the house to tell everyone about it." ”
Mrs. Zhu laughed when she heard this: "After all, she is still a child, and she just wants to play." ”
Shao Tong smiled: "Grandmother, this story is not only fascinating to me, but even my brother and brother feel novel and strange when they hear it. I was afraid that I would not be able to fall into the eyes of the old man, so I specially asked my father to listen to it in advance. ”
"Oh? If you dare, your uncle also listened? Is it really good? Mrs. Zhu was a little surprised when she heard this, you must know that Shao Tianzi is busy with official business, so he usually doesn't listen to this.
Wei Aluan was also quite surprised when she heard this, and asked her husband in a low voice, "When did you listen?" I don't know. ”
Shao Tianzi looked calm and said: "I also think that it is different from the usual storytelling, everyone should listen to it." ”
"In that case, let him and her come up." Mrs. Zhu said: "Listen to the right to relieve your boredom." ”
