Chapter 268: Preparing for the Banquet
Yue Shi was shocked in his heart and called: "Dad, don't go, you will die!" ”
But no matter how she screamed and screamed, Yue Peng didn't look back. A thick fog hit, and when Yue opened his eyes again, he could only see Daddy's corpse, lying there cold.
Yue's spirit, when he woke up from a dream, he was already in a cold sweat.
"Xiaoxiang."
Xiao Xiang, who had been guarding the door, pushed the door and hurriedly ran over, and said with concern: "Madam, what's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”
"It's okay, I'm sweating a little, I'm going to prepare hot water, I'm going to bathe and change my clothes."
Only then did Yue Shi feel that his body was sticky, and the soft satin was sticky to his skin, cold and piercing.
On this night, many people had trouble sleeping.
Those who received chrysanthemum posts, and those who did not, all have their own hearts.
Xiao Yong practiced until late at night, he should have returned to the barracks in a rage, but he was really unwilling, afraid that his grandmother and grandmother would arbitrarily marry him.
Especially when he knew that Yan Qingyi had also received the news of the chrysanthemum banquet and was coming to the banquet, he was even more jealous and hated Xiao Yao to the core.
Xiao Yao was also sleepless this night because of his mother's words, but Gu Fanghua, who was remembered by many people, slept well until dawn.
"County Lord, take a look today, choose that outfit?"
Gu Fanghua yawned, patted her lips, and said casually: "It doesn't matter, you must be." ”
Lu Ju, who was combing Gu Fanghua's hair, smiled and said softly: "County Lord, today is a chrysanthemum banquet, how can you be casual?" ”
"Isn't the chrysanthemum banquet a daughter-in-law for Xiao Yao? I'm just going to have fun, and I'm not running, so why can't I just do it casually? ”
Gu Fanghua ignored the trace of discomfort in her heart, and attributed it to the fear that Xiao Yao would be careless in choosing a wife, and a flower was inserted on cow dung.
When Xiao Yao marries a dominatrix, the house is restless, how can he have the energy to assist Rong Ling's brother?
Danzhu happened to come in with a silver basin, and when he heard Gu Fanghua's words, he said with a smile: "County Lord, if you don't run for election, you can still dress up beautifully." The Queen Mother sent so many clothes, and the county lord wore them all a day, and they didn't wear them the same until they went back. ”
After Danzhu served the clean face, Gu Fanghua looked at the young and vivid self in the mirror, hooked her lips and smiled.
Joked: "If I dress up, won't I steal the limelight from them?" ”
Lu Ju complimented: "The county lord is the proud daughter of the sky, and the pearl in his palm is naturally beautiful." The county lord was like that yesterday, and the slave and maid looked at everyone else with straight eyes. ”
Gu Fanghua pondered for a moment, feeling that it was okay, she couldn't lose the face of the Queen Mother's grandmother, and turned her head to look at the few sets of clothes to be selected.
"It's just that set of apricot yellow, it's not easy to contrast."
Danzhu took the jewelry box, picked out a set of red gold eight treasures, put it in front of Gu Fanghua, and asked, "County Lord, do you think it looks good with this dress?" ”
"Anything else? The eight treasures seem to have taken some flowers, the white jade ones are too plain, the amethyst ones are not suitable, and the amber and agate ones are too bright. ”
Gu Fanghua glanced at it, and the apricot-yellow set of colorful cross-collared skirts embroidered with peach blossoms was a little difficult to choose for a while.
Zimei, who had cleaned up the bed, came over, and her eyes sparkled as if she saw some treasure. laughed and said: "County Lord, didn't Mrs. Hou give you a set of carmine jade?" The slave and maid look very compatible. ”
Gu Fanghua remembered it, and simply asked Zimei to take it out and take a look at it again.
This set of carmine red jade head face is finely made, the design is simple and generous, and it is very beautiful. Glamorous but not demonic, dignified and noble, without a trace of variegation as a whole, it is extremely rare.
Gu Fanghua played with it for a while, put it back and said: "This jewelry is not a new thing at first glance, and it is completely qualified to be used as a bride's jewelry, and it is more joyful than gold." It seems that if you want to find a time to return it to Xiao Yao, you can't accept Mrs. Hou's kindness in vain. ”
"What does the county lord mean?"
"Don't use this set, don't you bring a set of red treasure phoenix head shakers? Use that set. ”
Danzhu pursed his lips and snickered, although the county lord said that he didn't care, but in fact, he still had to dress up beautifully. Suppress these young ladies in Liaodong, lest they covet Xiao Gongzi.
As soon as Gu Fanghua was dressed neatly, Zhong Taojiao came over with a food box.
complained: "Mingzhu, just to accompany you, otherwise I will go to the street with Changxin." It's good now, he and Yan Shaoxun, as well as the eldest brother and the second brother Gu, have all gone to the street, leaving us, and they have to be with a bunch of women, and they are bored to death. ”
"Jiaojiao, if you are not there, if I am bullied, who will save me?"
Gu Fanghua flattered Zhong Taojiao, with an expression of begging for protection, and successfully teased Zhong Taojiao.
"Just blow it! Who doesn't know now, the lord of Mingzhu can't be provoked! The entire Chenliu Palace's mansion has been served by you. Besides, with Madoka and Madoka here, who can hurt you? There is also a rich father-in-law, even if there are assassins, he is not afraid. ”
As soon as Zhong Taojiao finished speaking, Gu Fanghua pinched her face, and said coquettishly: "Take back the words, otherwise there will really be an assassin, and it will be your gang." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll take it back. Mingzhu, I heard that Xiao Yao went to Orchid Garden early in the morning, saying that he was going to accompany Mrs. Hou for a day, would he come to the chrysanthemum banquet? ”
Zhong Taojiao remembered Mingzhu's luck of making trouble, and hurriedly changed her words.
Gu Fanghua sat down at the table and explained: "Xiao Yao won't come, they are all female dependents, and I just went to sit and give Lord Fuling this face." ”
"This Fuling County Lord has a big face, I heard that the top ladies in Liaodong, she has posted posts, I don't know how many people will come?"
Zhong Taojiao was a little funny, thinking that this was equivalent to choosing a concubine, which was grand enough.
Gu Fanghua shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't know who people will come?" This is very good, you can come if both parties are interested, and if you don't want to come, you won't come, and it won't hurt the peace. ”
"Also, when the time comes to return to Beijing, you can also ask your mother to hold a lotus banquet for your eldest brother, an osmanthus banquet or something, and you can also find a daughter-in-law for your eldest brother. Otherwise, he will rely on himself, and it is estimated that he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of his life. ”
Zhong Taojiao remembered the stupidity of her eldest brother, and she was worried that she would never have a sister-in-law.
The two laughed and had breakfast, rinsed their mouths again, and then went to the Kangning Courtyard. On the road, I saw the shadow of a man in the distance, flashing away under the tree.
"Who?"
Xiao Yuanzi was about to catch up, but Father-in-law Qian, who was silently walking behind, suddenly spoke: "No need to chase, it's Xiao Yong." ”
I heard that it was Xiao Yong, thinking of the bet he lost, no wonder he wanted to hide. Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't care about his idiot.
As soon as the two of them saw Kangning Courtyard from afar, they saw Fang personally come out and welcome a mother and daughter in.
"It's kind of familiar."
Gu Fanghua couldn't see it really, but it was still Father-in-law Qian's eyes, and he said: "Just now, the princess and daughter Yan Qingyi of the Bei'an County Palace. ”
"Oh, it's the one I met last time I went to the Purple Bamboo Forest, the young lady who likes Xiao Yao?"
Father-in-law Qian smiled and nodded, not breaking the sourness in the words of the lord of Mingzhu County.
