When Mrs. Han came to the official banquet, she already felt a little exhausted, and the light and delicious dishes on the table would even make her feel tired when she looked at it more, but as half of the host, she couldn't move the bowls, and swallowing tofu was as painful as swallowing a knife.
Chungui didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Han's expression, but paid more attention to Mrs. Shu, but saw that her expression was calm and square, no different from ordinary, and she didn't observe Mrs. Han much, Chungui probably understood that the mother must have made up her mind in her heart, and she no longer considered marrying the Cheng family at all.
It's just that the plan still has to be pushed forward, because Shu Niangzi still lacks enough reasons to persuade Shen Ge Lao to refuse Cheng Du.
Mrs. Han was already having a hard time swallowing, but her henchman Mother Xu still stepped forward to report: "Shen Langjun and the Seventh Master are outside the garden, and they all said that they were coming to toast to the elders, and Shen Langjun was especially polite, saying that today was all because of his whims, first, he had to thank Mrs. Shu for coming out to ask Mrs. for lending the annex to entertain him, and secondly, he should thank Mrs. Chengquan for making such a thoughtful arrangement, but without the permission of the elders, they didn't dare to rush into it." โ
Nowadays, it is true that men and women are guarded against each other, but between mothers and sons, between elders and juniors, there is no taboo saying that it is taboo to meet each other, and the guests present actually know that Shu Niangzi is to see Cheng Yu today, and no one thinks that the behavior of the two young men to toast at the women's table is abrupt and rude, and they all look at Mrs. Han and Shu Niangzi with a smile.
Mrs. Han forced a smile in a cold sweat: "Both of them are filial children, but today Shu Niangzi is the host, and whether to drink this toast or not depends on the wishes of the lady." โ
Shu Niangzi smiled lightly and happily: "There is no lady present today, we are all parents, only Xiao Gu is younger, but there is no need to be taboo like the girl's family, I mean, you also need to take care of the children's intentions." โ
Mrs. Han gasped sharply and bowed slightly.
Everyone's attention shifted to Cheng Yu, who appeared step by step, and Chungui was no exception.
To say that she hadn't actually seen Shen Xiaolang, but because Shen Xiaolang's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Shu Niangzi, Chun Gui could easily distinguish that among the two young men, the shorter one must be Cheng Yu, and sure enough, she listened to the words of the two and confirmed that her judgment was correct.
Cheng Yu didn't have the vicious hawk hook nose summarized by Yin Xiaomei, he looked gentle and elegant, and Chun Gui could only see his eyes
Agile enough, it looks a little dull and unfocused, in short, this defect can't make Chungui have a good impression of his appearance at first sight, and if you look closely, Cheng Yu's physique is not thin, but his hands are extraordinarily rugged, just like a thin layer of skin directly attached to the outside of the hand bones, and the sudden protrusion of the bone joints can be seen from afar.
He likes to keep his head down when he speaks, and his smile always makes people feel forced, but Chungui is not sure if this is because he has preconceived preconceptions.
gloomy and sickly, just like the knuckles of Cheng Yu's hands, are actually visible under the flesh and skin.
Although it is to look at each other, but on such an occasion, it is impossible to show the intention too much, whether it is Shu Niangzi or Xiao Gongling, neither Cheng Yu is looking at the bottom of the test on the spot, but in contrast, he has more conversations with Shen Xiaolang, Xiao Gongling even proposed: "The Queen Mother heard that your gathering today is to appreciate the poems, although you can't be present in person, you are also very interested, and I specially explain to you all Lang Jun's excellent works at the meeting, and copy a copy and send it to the palace to present to the mother for a look, especially San Lang Jun, the Queen Mother can be interested in testing your literary talents." If you don't grow, the mother will punish you. โ
San Langjun refers to Shen Xiaolang.
But everyone actually understands that what the Queen Mother really wants to test is Cheng Yu's literary talent.
Mrs. Han couldn't help but say: "Shen Langjun's writing is naturally good, but he is a dog...... has always been clumsy and unmotivated, and his reluctantly written poems are afraid that they will be laughed at and generous. โ
Xiao Gongling couldn't help but feel a little bored: How does it sound that Mrs. Han seems to be reluctant to marry this marriage, which is ...... It's not so much self-humility, but more like a hint that Cheng Yu shouldn't steal the limelight from Shen Sanlang?
Originally, Shu Niangzi didn't tell the truth to the Empress Dowager Shengde, Xiao Gongling was serious about checking for Shen Wu's girl this time, didn't she leave a comment just now, Mrs. Han was absent-minded and anxious, and thought that this was because she was flattered and worried that her son would not be able to win recognition, but she actually said such a thing in front of everyone...... Xiao Gongling was suspicious in his heart.
Chungui left an opinion Cheng Yu listened to Mrs. Han's words, and his breath seemed to be choking his chest, and there was a touch of blood in his eyes, and then although his clenched fist was quickly hidden behind his waist, Chungui could still see his phalanges more and more violent.
But it was impossible for the two young men to stay at the banquet on the side of the ladies for a long time, and they quickly retired.
Chun Gui estimated that when she was full of wine and food, Shi Tuiguan thought that she would be able to rush here, and these dishes today were carefully prepared by Shu Shimu, so it was not easy to enjoy
It's really wasteful, so no matter what kind of farce will happen next, the return of spring still hasn't affected the interest of feasting.
When the banquet was over, Mrs. Yi pulled Chungui aside and pinched her fingers, and joked in a low voice: "I can't swallow the food of the main family, but you eat very happily, just seeing you eat so happily I feel that the dishes are a little more delicious." โ
"It's only eight points full." Chun Gui quietly put his hand on his lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "And I still have two intestines and wait for a while to taste the tea fruit made by Shu Shimu's cook, Shu Shimu quietly told me that there is a tea fruit filling today that is fresh lychee meat, and the source of cooking is the imperial kitchen in the palace. โ
Mrs. Yi knew that Chun Gui was talking funny, so she pinched her twice: "Knowing that Shu Niangzi loves you the most, just remind you what is the best to eat, and her host's heart is also boundless." โ
"Today's banquet can be just me a gluttonous cat, and I don't know, Mrs. and you need to get Shu Niangzi's special reminder, no one is as greedy as me, and just by looking at the eyes, you can also see what tea fruit is uncommon and the most delicious, unlike me who only feel dazzled and see everything fresh, and I can't eat it without special reminders."
"This clever mouth, but anything can be said in the past." Mrs. Yi was so amused that the corners of her mouth trembled, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat Chun Gui's cheek, as intimate as a mother and daughter.
Chungui left an opinion, Xu's mother panicked and went to Mrs. Han's side - seven or eight steps away from this pavilion, Mrs. Han was accompanying Shu Niangzi and Xiao Gongling to look at the railing, Mrs. Han seemed to have discovered Xu's mother's abnormality, and Chungui couldn't help but poke out a little when she saw her body.
"How does it look like something has changed?" Chungui motioned to Mrs. Yi: "I've always seen that the servant woman is still old, but when I look at her appearance again, my feet are staggering, how can I be so panicked if there is no major event?" โ
"Then let's go and have a look, speaking of which, Mrs. Han's expression today is indeed strange." Although Mrs. Yi doesn't like to take care of other people's affairs, but considering Shu Niangzi's intentions today, of course Chun Gui will care about the affairs of the British Mansion, not to mention that the affairs of the British Mansion are not completely irrelevant to Mrs. Yi, she has decided to seek justice for Xie Siniang, and of course she will also pay attention to the mistakes of the British Mansion.
No matter what happens, it's always necessary to watch.
