Chapter 262: The Chrysanthemum Feast Begins
Yan Qingyi wanted to be cheeky and go to grill fish with Gu Fanghua, but it was difficult to speak.
And I was worried that Fuling County would mainly hold a chrysanthemum banquet, and I still needed to go back quickly to read the invitation and prepare clothes and jewelry. After weighing it again, I got up and took my leave.
"County Lord, we came out early in the morning, and it was almost time to go back. When Fourth Brother Xiao and them come back, please speak on our behalf, let's go first. ”
Gu Fanghua was a little surprised.
This Yan Qingyi is obviously interesting to Xiao Yao, but she can still control it and don't seize every opportunity to post it. It's not easy to keep a distance that isn't too close.
"It's okay, Miss Fang and Miss Wang also want to be together?"
Fang Xin's big eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Lord Mingzhu, can I stay and go to the barbecue with you?" I also like grilled fish. ”
Wang Lili looked in the direction where Yan Shaoxun and the others were going.
After hesitating repeatedly, he said softly: "Lord Mingzhu, I will also stay and see if there is anything that needs help." ”
Yan Qingyi was a little embarrassed, and when she was about to leave, Gu Fanghua spoke.
"Miss Yan, since you are here together, it is safer to go back together. In a few days, I will attend the chrysanthemum feast, and I hope to see you then. ”
As soon as Gu Fanghua said this, Fang Xin and Wang Lili's faces were extremely embarrassed, and when they looked at Gu Fanghua's eyes, they both dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
Fang Xin reluctantly smiled: "Okay, let's leave first and disturb the county lord." ”
And Wang Lili was so ashamed that she turned around and left, and didn't even say hello to Gu Fanghua again. Xiao Manzi was about to stop her, but Gu Fanghua glanced at her and let Wang Lili leave.
Seeing that they were out of the purple bamboo forest, Gu Fanghua walked slowly towards the bamboo house.
"Master, I don't understand a lot, I wonder if the master can solve my doubts?"
"Amitabha, good, good. The county lord's fate has changed, and the old man can't see it really. However, as long as the county lord is dedicated to goodness and always thinks of the people of Limin, it will naturally be extremely good and turn evil into good fortune. ”
Gu Fanghua lowered her head and sighed lightly: "Master, I only have one thing to do. It's better to be good to yourself first, have the ability, and then help the world. ”
"The county lord underestimates himself too much, and only hopes that the county lord can leave a line in everything and be good for himself and others."
After the old monk finished speaking, he turned around and sat facing the wall, Gu Fanghua stayed for a moment, and finally left quietly. Therefore, I didn't hear a soft sigh from the old monk.
Then the delicious purple bamboo shoot rabbit soup, coupled with the spicy and crispy grilled fish, everyone had a delicious meal.
Yan Shaoxun found a gap and wanted to test Xiao Yao, pulled him out and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yao, have you heard of Shunan Zhuhai?" ”
"Shunan Bamboo Sea? Haven't heard of it. Is it in Shuzhong? Is it like this purple bamboo forest? ”
Xiao Yao looked surprised, and Yan Shaoxun couldn't tell if he really didn't know, or if he didn't know. Continue to probe: "That's not it, it's Cuizhu, and there's a in it." ”
After speaking, Yan Shaoxun stared at Xiao Yao and did not let go of a change in his expression.
What disappointed him was that Xiao Yao looked calm, without the excitement he imagined, and there was no trace of surprise in meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country.
"Cuizhu is also beautiful, but what is a gray chicken? Is it a pheasant? ”
Xiao Yao's expression was slightly puzzled, and he couldn't see the pretentiousness at all. Yan Shaoxun couldn't tell whether he was relieved or regretful, and said lightly: "Well, the is a kind of pheasant, and it tastes good." ”
They had a good time in the purple bamboo forest, and went back to the Hou Mansion to find Xiao Yao's Weiyuan Hou, but they pounced.
Hearing that Xiao Yao accompanied the five princes and the county lord of Mingzhu and went out of the city to play, he frowned slightly. Hearing that his mother was going to hold a chrysanthemum banquet, Wei Yuanhou thought about it again and again, and still came to Kangning Courtyard to see the lord of Fuling.
Mama Wei hurriedly came out and saluted: "The slave has seen the Hou Ye, and the old lady is still resting, so it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”
Wei Yuanhou glanced at Mama Wei lightly, and said calmly: "Mama, I just want to see my mother." I heard that my mother is going to hold a chrysanthemum feast, so I'll take a look, is there anything I need help with? ”
It was about the chrysanthemum banquet, and Mama Wei didn't dare to refuse as before, so she could only say: "Master Hou, wait a minute, the slave maid will go and tell the old lady." ”
Wei Yuanhou nodded and stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands in his hands.
He knew his mother's intention to hold a chrysanthemum banquet, but Xiao Yao now took refuge in the six princes, and he had the emperor's holy favor, if he made a marriage indiscriminately, he was afraid that it would disrupt the arrangements between the emperor and the six princes.
Besides, the lord of Mingzhu is still together.
What if the county lord of Mingzhu is interested in Xiao Yao and knows the meaning of the chrysanthemum banquet, and he won't make a storm in the city?
After a while, Mama Wei came out again and saluted, "Master Hou, please." ”
Walking into the courtyard and coming to the inner room, the thick curtain was lifted, and there was a hot breath blowing in the face.
Lord Fuling is afraid of the cold, and the earth dragon has not yet begun to burn in the courtyard, but the brazier has begun to burn in the house. Wei Yuanhou untied the big hat and handed it to the little girl, came to the Lord of Fuling, and saluted: "The son has seen his mother. ”
Lord Fuling sat on the first seat, and asked with a faint expression: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Wei Yuanhou looked at it carefully, and saw that his mother was wearing a jujube red vanzifu cardigan skirt today, and she looked very good. He wears a royal blue forehead on his head, and a garnet-red round jade is inlaid in the center, which looks very festive.
"Mother, I heard that you are going to hold a chrysanthemum banquet, I don't know if you are holding it in this courtyard? Or is it in the Tsinghua Academy? ”
The county lord of Fuling lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Now the Qinghua Academy is the Qingbo Academy, don't be mistaken, the plaque that the county lord of Mingzhu personally replaced." There aren't many people, so it's here. ”
Wei Yuanhou saw that his mother was cold, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still asked, "Mother, do you want to choose a daughter-in-law for Xiao Yao?" ”
"What, do you have an opinion?"
Lord Fuling didn't believe it, now that the Yue family was locked up, Xiao Jing could still find a daughter-in-law for Xiao Yao by himself.
Marquis Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "The son doesn't dare, it's just that the lord of Mingzhu is here, and the son is worried that his mother will backfire." ”
"Do you know that the Six Princes and the Nine Princes both like the Lord of the Pearl County? That's the pride of the sky, Xiao Yao can't climb it. ”
Lord Fuling also had similar considerations, so he couldn't wait to hold a chrysanthemum banquet.
Marquis Wei Yuan was silent for a moment, but still said: "Mother, since the emperor and the six princes treat Xiao Yao differently, then Xiao Yao will return to Beijing after the year." It's better to wait for him to return to Beijing, marry the right person in Beijing, and have an arm in the future. ”
Lord Fuling raised his head in surprise and sneered, "This sun has come out of the west? You would actually plan for Xiao Yao? ”
Wei Yuanhou lowered his head a little embarrassed, and said sincerely: "Mother, I know how much I owe to Xiao Yao's mother and son. But Xiao Yao has always been my son, and I hope he is well. ”
"Although there are many ladies in Beijing, most of them are waiting for the price to be sold, waiting for the three princes who have not yet married. Xiao Yao's age is not too young, I can't afford to wait, I still count on holding my great-grandson. Besides, Xie Lan can't do it, do you have to wait for three years of filial piety? ”
