Chapter 68: The Banquet
Sure enough, as Xiang Zhu was worried about.
Within two days, the city was overwhelmingly proclaimed that Meng Zhipei had waited outside Zhuangzi all night, and his love was stronger than Jin.
Some people even say that the two are a spring supper.
The more the story of the last shadow is spreading, it becomes more and more realistic, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.
And it was Meng Zhipei himself who gave the real hammer, and when his friends visited him, he personally admitted that he had reunited with Jiang Lingran.
Like manna in a long drought, these rumors almost immediately relieved the urgent need of the Pingsu Marquis Mansion.
The spectators guarding the gate of the mansion heard the news and felt that their fun was cut off, and they hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded Jiang Lingran for being spineless.
Daoist Li happily turned around and left a trail to look after his family, while he himself went to the Pingsu Marquis Mansion to invite merit.
Xiang Zhu almost cried when he knew it, and he didn't care about any condescension, and scolded Meng Zhipei for being a bastard and a brute.
Jiang Lingran sneered: "He's trying to force me to compromise." ”
Delusion!
"Girl, what are we going to do?" Qingyu was anxious and afraid, lest Jiang Lingran step into the deadly quagmire again.
Jiang Lingran got up and came to the back of the desk, laying out the paper and grinding ink: "Naturally, it is a tooth for a tooth!" ”
......
Wang Lu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiao, arrived at Sanqi and came down from Baoshan to Meng Zhipei for leave.
Just after the afternoon, Yun Xi in Meng Zhipei's courtyard got the order to find Wang Lu.
"Master Hou asked you to buy medicine for him." Yunxi said in a low voice.
After experiencing Zheng Qingyi, Meng Zhipei opened his mind, and several rooms were more useful under his teaching.
The Spring Festival is short, and Meng Zhipei is reluctant to waste a moment, but after a long time, he is a little unbearable.
Wang Lu was sensible and consciously found medicine for Meng Zhipei.
"Didn't you just send ten pills the day before yesterday? That's gone? When Wang Lu heard Yunxi's intention, he exclaimed.
Yun Xi waited for Meng Zhipei's daily life, and she also understood what kind of medicine it was, and when she heard Wang Lu ask her, where could she answer? The dark skin was faintly red, and he said angrily: "What does the Hou Ye command, what do you do, what do you do, so many words to do!" ”
Wang Lu looked at Yun Xi and was embarrassed, his eyes rolled, and his mind became active.
This Yun Xi was originally used by Mrs. Hou to Meng Zhipei to pick up the book and study ink, and the length is very ordinary, plus the skin is dark, Meng Zhipei didn't even give him a straight eye.
However, Yun Xi is loyal, and he always completes Meng Zhipei's instructions very well, so he is gradually reused.
Now he is not only in charge of everything in the study, but also in charge of Meng Zhipei's food, clothing and housing.
After Jiang Lingran married in, Yunxi's errands were handed over to Jiang Lingran, and now the two are making peace and leaving, and Yunxi will take over the affairs again.
He is Meng Zhipei's close servant, but he is in charge of the outer courtyard, and as soon as Meng Zhipei enters the second door, it is not easy for him to inquire about anything.
If you can keep an eyeliner by Meng Zhipei's side, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
Thinking like this, Wang Lu took a citrus on the table and stuffed it into Yun Xi's hand, and said with a smile: "It's me who is too talkative." I'm also worried that Hou Ye's body won't be able to bear it. ”
Yun Xi was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
Wang Lu pulled Yunxi to sit down, and said courteously: "You must be thirsty after walking this way, eat an orange first, and I will make tea for you." He went to the kitchen.
Yun Xi felt a little gloomy when he stayed alone in the room where Xiao Pozi's spiritual position was held, got up and chased to the kitchen, looked at Wang Lu in front of the stove and said, "I'm not thirsty, it's better to hurry up and pay the errand." ”
Wang Lu pointed to the sun and said with a smile: "It's still early, Hou Ye only uses it at night." As he said what he thought, he said, "It's just that I have a lot of things at hand, so it's better to be like this, and you can go with me to get the medicine later." ”
Yun Xi frowned and said, "I'll go?" ”
That kind of medicine, she is a girl's house, how to get it?
Wang Lu looked at her like this, and his face was low and sad: "Today, I want to talk to my mother more." ”
"If you take the medicine back, you won't have to make a trip for me."
Wang Lu's father left early, and there was no sister or brother at home, so Wang Lu was all up to him to take care of everything.
The deceased is the greatest, and Yunxi is really hard to refuse.
Wang Lu took Yunxi around the street, bought a lot of delicious and fun food, and said that he was thanking her for helping.
At the beginning, Yun Xi was still holding it, pretending that it was not rare, but he was coaxed by Wang Lu's kind words to offer, and he also softened his temperament.
By the time the medicine is in hand, it will already be cooked.
Wang Lu looked at Yun Xi's back, sneered, spat on the ground, and turned around to go to Beishi.
There are not only many flower buildings in Beishi, but also many gambling houses, teahouses, and restaurants.
If you want to spread some news in the capital, Beishi is a good place to go.
Daoist Li didn't return until he returned after dinner in the waiting house, the courtyard was dark, and the trail had already stopped.
After drinking some wine, I felt very sleepy, I lit a lamp and candle in the dark, poured half a cup of herbal tea, kicked my shoes, and was about to lie down in my kimono, but I suddenly saw the letter on the table.
I was in a cold sweat!
He hurriedly got off the bed, tore open the envelope, and after reading the contents of the letter, Daoist Li sat on the ground with weak feet.
On the second day, the situation reversed.
Meng Zhipei angrily smashed everything in the house that could be smashed, and roared: "Go and check for me, who is behind the traitor!" ”
The housekeeper wiped his sweat in fear, and his face was bitter.
After checking for a long time, I found a rough mother-in-law in the courtyard of Mrs. Lao Hou.
The mother-in-law was tied up and shouted wronged.
She didn't even know about Meng Zhipei's trip to Baoshan, so how could she know that Meng Zhipei and Jiang Lingran had not repaired it?
will not know that Meng Zhipei deliberately fabricated and spread lies for the sake of decency and to force Jiang Lingran to turn back.
Meng Zhipei gritted his teeth with hatred, how could he listen to her justification, beat him to death with a stick, and threw him to a mass grave.
Make an example!
Because of this, no one in the house dared to say a word of gossip again.
The concierge seller of the news is also out of business.
Daoist Li came to Pingsu Houfu again.
Mrs. Lao Hou heard him say that she was going to hold a banquet and raise the identity of the child in Zheng Qingyi's belly.
frowned and said: "The identity is naturally to be raised." I have thought about it, the child will be recorded in the name of his mother-in-law when he is born, and when the moon is full, he will let Pei'er go to him to ask for the title of son. Who will dare to despise him then? ”
Li Daoshi said: "Now there are rumors outside, aren't they scolding Zheng Qingyi just scolding the child?" If the Houfu does not act at this time, it will be difficult for them to turn the situation around when they have settled down on these contempt and ridicule. ”
Mrs. Hou's brows furrowed even deeper: "But holding a banquet at this time, isn't it adding fuel to the fire?" ”
Everyone scolded Houfu one-sidedly, and they were also trying to persuade Jiang Lingran back, if they helped Zheng Qingyi's child hold a banquet at this time, would it be too high-profile?
Mrs. Hou's recent summing up of experience, high-profile and being scolded are equated.
Daoist Li said: "After the banquet is over, you personally go to invite Jiang Lingran and tell her about going to the mother and leaving the son." ”
"Jiang Lingran has a face, and he has personally gotten your words to get rid of Zheng Qingyi, what else will he be dissatisfied with?"
"Who would let Mrs. Hou of the scenery not do it, and go and leave to be an abandoned woman?"
Daoist Li believes that as long as Jiang Lingran is not stupid, he must know how to choose!
Mrs. Lao Hou agreed with Daoist Li's words.
No matter how Jiang Lingran tosses, she will never believe that she will leave!
can ask a mother-in-law to pull down her identity to pick up her daughter-in-law, as long as she thinks about it, Mrs. Hou feels unhappy.
He breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said earnestly: "For the sake of the Hou Mansion, I have to whisper once!" ”
Seeing that she agreed, Daoist Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
He also said: "Before that, the prophet will meet the Jiang family, and the Jiang family will attend the banquet." ”
Mrs. Lao Hou was not worried that the Jiang family would not agree.
"In order to maintain the in-law relationship between the two governments, and for Jiang Yu's future, their family wants to send another concubine with a face!"
With the attitude of the Jiang family, Mrs. Lao Hou never panicked!
Daoist Li's heart was heavy, looking at Mrs. Hou's face, he said with some difficulty: "My heart and you are the same, both for Pei'er's better." ”
Mrs. Hou glanced at him with disgust and let Mother Song go to Jiang's house.
The banquet was quickly finalized.
In order to appear grand, the mansions above the fifth grade in Beijing have sent posts.
It was lively again outside the gate of Pingsu Houfu, but Mrs. Lao Hou asked the people from the patrol camp to help and drove them away.
When Meng Zhipei came back from Baoshan, he thought that Jiang Lingran thought very much, and sent someone to inquire, and when he learned that she was going out in the past two days, he moved his mind.
On that day, Jiang Shiyun was forced to ride with him due to the damage of the carriage and horse....
