Chapter Twenty-Six: Resisting the Wind
When the three of them slipped in at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the feast had already begun. There were nearly 300 visitors, and a large courtyard was full of people, leaving only the high platform for the performance in front, which was extremely lively.
The three of them barely sat down in a corner, Ming Chu sat in the middle, and the two sat left and right.
The host, Xue Wan, was a middle-aged man with fat heads and big ears, and he was greeting guests and walked around to return to the high platform.
He faked coughing twice, "Today is the child's first birthday banquet, thank you for giving me Xue Mou's face to come here, Xue Mou is very grateful." β
There were a few cheers from the audience.
There was a sudden commotion at the door, and everyone looked, but it was Jiang Zhenyuan who walked in swaggering in with two little guys.
Xue Wan was puzzled, isn't this the third son of the Jiang family, thinking that he has no contact with the Jiang family, what does he mean by visiting rashly today? I thought only for a moment, the visitor was a guest, and he greeted him with a smile on his face.
Ming Chu whispered: "He is really indispensable everywhere." β
Jiang Zhenyuan was full of shelf, he raised his head and didn't look at Xue Wan, and waved his hand: "Xiaoxing, the gift is present." β
"Although my son came uninvited, he also knows the etiquette."
Xue Wan laughed and haha, "The third prince of Jiang is a contemptible blessing to come to the cold house." β
"Let's go."
Xue Wan was puzzled, "What?" β
"Arrange a seat." Jiang Zhenyuan glanced at him contemptuously, "What's the matter, do you think the identity of this son is not worthy?" β
"No, no." Xue Wan hurriedly explained, I heard that the third son of the Jiang family was a little overlord-like person, and today I saw that it was really the case.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he whispered to Yuewu: "Look at him, it's like looking at people with his nostrils." She raised her head and rolled her eyes, imitating Jiang Zhenyuan's arrogant expression, and Yuewu smiled.
"What did you say, Chu'er?" Chen Shanglu probed and said.
Jiang Zhenyuan walked all the way and saw the three of them at a glance.
"Oh, it's you." He stretched his neck in surprise, and then frowned, "No, why don't you call me when you come out to play?" Pushing aside a few people, he walked straight over.
"Sit aside." Driving away the people next to him, he sat next to Yuewu.
Xue Wan looked at this scene blankly, why did the son of the Chen family also come? Is it popular uninvited now?
He clapped his hands, "Everyone, everyone, it's time for the child to catch the ring soon." Come on, take Tian'er out. β
The attention of the guests was attracted back again, and the two maids poured a large pile of things on the table, gold, silver, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, fat powder box, abacus, seals, etc., all of which were things to catch Zhou.
A white chubby baby was taken out and placed on the ground. Xue Wan stood aside and watched nervously.
Jiang Zhenyuan was still chattering, "No, I think you are unjust." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, you said that I went out of the house to play these times, but I didn't buy you this food and play that time, why don't you remember to call me if you have a good thing? If I hadn't heard from the little guy about the cool people performing here, I wouldn't have missed it. β
Ming Chu quietly rolled her eyes, how could Jiang Zhenyuan be like a chatter, she spread her hands, "I wonder about the third brother, you haven't been preparing for the martial arts test recently, how can I disturb you." β
"You're quibbling, the reason is an excuse, you just don't want to take me!"
Chen Shanglu was annoyed, "I just don't want to take you, my mother-in-law and mother are like a woman." β
"Oh, Chen Shanglu, do you want to fight?"
"Afraid of you?"
Jiang Zhenyuan was about to stand up, and Ming Chu shouted: "What are you two doing, this is in someone's house." β
Yuewu pressed Jiang Zhenyuan to sit down, Jiang Zhenyuan looked at him angrily, "Yuewu, even you don't help me." β
On the stage, Xue Wan shouted, "Caught and caught, caught gold." He laughed, "Hahaha." My son will be a rich man in the future. β
Chen Shanglu came over and said with a smile: "Chu'er, guess what I caught when I caught Zhou when I was one year old?" β
Ming Chu glanced at him obliquely, "You like to go to the girl so much, you must be grabbing the fat powder box." β
"No, no, my father said that I had a sword in my left hand and a piece of silver in my right hand." He smirked, "Do you know what that means?" β
Jiang Zhenyuan touched it carefully, "Sword silver." Sword SilverΒ·Β·Β· Slut? Yuewu smiled and said nothing, and Jiang Zhenyuan laughed, "It means that you Chen Shanglu is a slut." β
Chen Shanglu slapped the table and said angrily: "Who wants you to talk more." β
"Shhhhh Ming Chu Dao.
Hearing Xue Wan's voice on the stage, he continued with high spirits, "Speaking of this Zhou, Xue remembered a previous rumor in the alley, and said it to have fun with everyone. β
He continued: "It is said that there was a sixteen prince Yongjia in the previous dynasty, and the little prince was young and eloquent, smart and lovely, and no one in the palace did not cherish him. But this little prince of Yongjia, when he drew lots at the first birthday, he caught something that no one could have imagined. β
The elderly people sitting below have heard the rumors of the previous dynasty, and they don't say anything, and most of the people who haven't heard it talk nonsense.
"Seal!"
"Abacus!"
"Pen!"
"Ink!"
Β·Β·Β·
Xue Wan shook his head and denied them one by one, people were anxious, "What is it?" Hurry up. β
Ming Chu turned to Yuewu and whispered, "Yuewu, what do you think it will be?" She was stunned, "Eh, what's wrong with you." β
Yuewu's face, which was always sparsely eyebrowed, was a little colder.
Ming Chu approached him and said with concern: "Yuewu, what's wrong with Yuewu?" Uncomfortable? β
Yuewu retracted her expression and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." After so many years, the memories of the past have faded little by little, and he can almost hide his emotions. It's just that the young lady is the person he has been getting along with day and night for several years, and he can detect a slight change.
Chen Shanglu gave them a strange look.
Xue Wandao: "It's no wonder you can't guess, it's just because what he grabbed is not the toys he put on display at all." β
"That sounds fresh." Jiang Zhen walked from afar.
"This little prince of Yongjia does not choose seals, swords, gold and silver. I crawled towards a paper kite that had just fallen. He clapped his hands and said, "You say this is also strange, how can the palace allow private paper kites?" It also fell in the Changhe Palace, and was caught by the little prince of Yongjia. β
There is a humane underneath: "The paper kite is a floating rootless thing, unlucky"
Xue Wan answered: "What he caught was a paper kite with a broken thread, which is even more unlucky." He smiled, "Not everyone is as ambitious as a child." β
Jiang Zhenyuan said loudly: "What happened to these six princes later? β
Xue Wan glanced at him and smiled without answering.
The entire courtyard was silent for a moment, and Chen Shanglu whispered: "Silly you, the previous dynasty has been destroyed, what else can the prince of the previous dynasty do?" β
"Paper kites, floating without roots." Ming Chu muttered, and she smiled, "I don't think so, the paper kite with a broken thread will not be bound from now on, it will no longer belong to anyone, the sky will let it fly, and you can go wherever you want!" β
Yuewu's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Ming Chu, with gentle ripples in his eyes.
