Chapter 268: To Each His Master
Shi Wang promised General Qin to invite him to a meal when the matter was completed, although this request was strange, but General Qin himself put it forward, so he agreed.
He helped himself see Uncle Xiugu, and transported Uncle Xiugu's body out to be buried properly, which made Shi Wang very grateful.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival was set, I invited someone to send a post to the Qin Mansion.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is usually gathered in the palace before returning home.
It can be seen that Shi Wang's indifferent expression on the table, except for some conversations between King Xiaoli and Princess Sangping, no one has paid attention, and Empress Dai asked her a word, but she also ignored the past as if she hadn't heard it.
Empress Dai choked a few times, but she still didn't see Princess Yuanping fight back, so she didn't continue.
I thought she was running out of thoughts this day, but she didn't expect to disperse and come to him in person to invite.
The two walked side by side to the street, and saw Qi Ping waiting at the corner of the street.
Qi Ping's current general position is not high, and he is not qualified to enter the royal banquet, so he waited at the street corner to look back, and when he saw the person who came back with Shi Wang, the smile on his lips froze again.
As soon as General Qin and Qi Ping looked at each other, there was an invisible electric current.
"Go back, Aunt Chun should be in a hurry." Shi Wang said, not affected by the atmosphere of the two of them.
The three of them entered the mansion together, Lu Ying was waiting at the door, and when she saw General Qin, she was very disdainful and didn't even look at it, but she smiled on the other side and pulled Qi Ping into the room.
"General Qi, come in, don't stand outside, it's all a family."
He had already learned the news that General Qin would come to the mansion from Shi Wang, but he still couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
General Qin didn't care that he and Qi Ping looked at him differently, and if no one else entered the mansion, like a regular visitor, he was led to the meeting room by Shi Wang.
Aunt Chun has always been friendly and equal to others, and when guests come to the house, she is naturally happy, and she has arranged a lot of dishes to bring the guests a home-like feeling.
Qi Ping grew up with her, naturally kind, this General Qin looks a little fierce, and there are some bad rumors on weekdays, but since the princess invited him back, he naturally will not snub him.
For a time, osmanthus wine, osmanthus cake, osmanthus moon cake, osmanthus sweet soup, chrysanthemum tea, chrysanthemum rice, chrysanthemum sachet, all put on the table together, some edible, and some small gifts for guests.
Qi Ping knew these conventions, so he was not surprised, and only thanked Aunt Chun and received the placket.
But General Qin was still a little stunned when he looked at it in the palm of his hand and faintly smelled a wisp of chrysanthemum fragrance on the tip of his nose.
I thought it was a home-cooked banquet, but it was a bit of a big deal like this.
He held up the wine in his hand, it was sweet in his mouth, warm in his throat, not as cold and dry as he usually drank it.
When he was a little tired of drinking, he raised the tea to dissolve it.
When I was hungry, I took a bite of a pastry, not thinking that there was something else in it.
It looks like a simple table, but everything has a special meaning.
Those customs that have only been heard of in the mouths of the elderly have become all these things in front of us.
He has been in various military camps all the year round, and he has long had no concept of these festivals, and the royal banquet is just a task that flows through the water, and suddenly he is a little at a loss after such a festival.
Perhaps, everything in the princess's mansion is an experience he has never had.
Originally, I wanted to come to the princess's mansion to spend more time with Shi Wang, but I didn't expect that I would be like this.
But when she looked at it, she was still the same as before, and there was no unusual look, which was just a home-cooked meal for her.
"Princess, Lord Huang is outside the door, saying that he is coming to the banquet, you see?"
Aunt Chun, who was smiling at Bu Cai, was stunned for a moment, and finally put down her chopsticks.
Shi Wang saw her movements clearly, and said to the waiter: "There are already guests in the mansion today, if there is one more person, I am afraid that the hospitality will not be good, please go back to Lord Huang." ”
The waiter nodded and walked away.
General Qin glanced at Shi Wang, and then raised his glass and drank slowly.
After a while, the waiter returned.
"What's the matter, Lord Huang is still outside?"
"No," replied the waiter, "it is from General Jane's mansion, and it is said that Madame Jane has given birth to another son, and you are invited to go to the full moon wine." ”
"I know, you go back to him, I'm busy with military affairs, so I won't go, the child's birthday gift will be sent by someone."
The waiter knew and stepped back again.
Aunt Chun put on a smiling face again: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Wu Nian for a long time, she has had a smooth life in the past few years, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter to General Jian, which can be regarded as a family and beauty." ”
Shi Wang also showed a smile of relief on his face.
"I was a little unbearable to miss a talent, but now it seems that I was wrong."
"I think Nian'er's girl is not suitable for the barracks, although the martial arts are good, but there are still some girls with temperament and can't take on big responsibilities, so it's not bad to be in charge at home."
"It's a pity that Nian'er," Shi Wang also felt a little regretful, and then smiled, "But there is still Ping'er shining in the army, which is also a good thing." ”
Qi Ping was a little shy when she said it: "It's all taught well by the princess." ”
"What about me," Lu Ying praised Qi Ping when she saw it, and she wanted to be praised herself.
After so many years, it's still this temperament.
Shi Wang was not annoyed, and praised him a few more words: "Grand Master Lu is now a celebrity in front of the teachers of Tai Academy, and he is naturally powerful." ”
Lu Ying has been in Tai Academy for so many years, and she is the oldest, so she is naturally a celebrity.
Ordinary people go to be officials when they reach their age, but Lu Ying continues to study because of her identity and has not yet become an official, which is better than being idle in the house.
When Lu Ying saw Shi Wang, she pursed her lips and looked sad, which amused Shi Wang, Aunt Chun and Qi Ping.
General Qin sat among the three of them, one did not know their causes and consequences, and the other was difficult to integrate into their atmosphere, and he was really a little uneasy.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Shi Wang suddenly sighed: "In the future, maybe there will be no such calm time." ”
She drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, and there was already an indescribable sharpness in her eyes.
After the banquet, Shi Wang personally sent the two of them out of the mansion, signaled for Qi Ping to go first, and left General Qin to speak under his worried look.
She took a step closer to General Qin, and there was seriousness in her eyes.
"I know that General Qin is still on the side of the Queen Mother, and I want to make it clear to you today. I have already had a gap with the Queen Mother, and there must be more opportunities for hostility in the future. ”
"Princess, you mean, you want me to be on your side?" General Qin just wanted to agree, but was vetoed by Shi Wang.
"I want General Qin to draw a line with me."
General Qin was at a loss for a moment.
Shi Wang said: "You and I are enemies, but because you have helped me, I will return the favor to you." If you don't think it's enough, you can also make conditions for me in the future. It's just that the position between you and me can't change, and there is no need to pity each other in the future. ”
At this point, it seems that it is back to the far point.
