[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 171 Chapter 171 Opening of the Distillery (4)

In order to celebrate the opening of Piaoxiang Winery, Lu Xianger specially prepared a banquet in the restaurant near the winery to thank the guests who came to congratulate. However, Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that the four princes, Zhao Chengmin, and other high-ranking 'nobles' would also stay for the banquet. Before everyone rushed to the restaurant, Yuan Musheng quickly ran to the restaurant and added two tables of the best wine and food in the restaurant.

Because of the sudden arrival of Princess Jingrou, Lu Xiang'er arranged the two tables of banquets in a room, separated by a big screen in the middle. can have that lively atmosphere, and can avoid suspicion, which can be regarded as making Princess Jingrou nod slightly.

As for the peers of the Jingshi, Yuan Musheng will deal with it, and there is no need for Lu Xiang'er to worry about it. And what made Lu Xianger most helpless was that the uninvited Zheng Tong brothers and sisters, one flattered Princess Jingrou, the other took the initiative to get close to the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin, as well as Wen Song and Li Wenhao, all followed to the restaurant.

The two brothers and sisters don't think they are outsiders at all, and they say pleasing things to Zhao Chengmin and Princess Jingrou everywhere as masters. Thinking that Zheng Tong was a little more reserved in the face of Huo Qingsong's cold face, Zheng Fangfei completely forgot that she was still a guest, and took the initiative to sit next to Princess Jingrou.

Looking at this little lady of the Zheng family who was not clear in her mind, 'flattering' regardless of the occasion, Lu Xianger was very speechless, and she didn't want to pay attention to her. just did his duty as the owner's family, so he talked to Chaoxia, Huo Qingqing, and Wen Yao and ate vegetables.

The most strange thing for Lu Xiang'er is that Princess Jingrou, who is arrogant in nature, doesn't bother to talk to people who tend to be inflammatory, but listens to Zheng Fangfei with a smile. He also nodded from time to time to express his opinion. This scene made Huo Qingqing, who knew the temperament of Princess Jingrou very well, have many very strange feelings. But Wen Yao felt that Princess Jingrou must have some purpose, and she was a little worried about Lu Xiang'er.

Soon, after three rounds of wine, the atmosphere at Lu Hong's table had slowly warmed up because of the aroma of soju. Li Wenhao, who has a hearty personality, suddenly discovered that in addition to the four princes Zhao Chengmin and Huo Qingsong, he and Lu Hong, Wen Song, and Zheng Tong were all students who participated in the martial arts palace examination. With such an opportunity, Li Wenhao talked loudly about guessing the rankings of several people even if he went to the palace exam.

Princess Jingrou listened to the bustle on the other side of the screen, so she motioned to the palace maid behind her, Chunxi, to pour herself a cup of tea, and said softly to Zheng Fangfei: "Sister Zheng family, I seem to have heard that Gongzi Lu and you are half-brothers." ”

"Ah, the princess heard me right. Lu Hong is indeed the elder brother of me and my brother, but he robbed me of the name of 'Mrs. Zheng' because of jealousy of my mother, and refused to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Zheng Fangfei also seemed to know the taboo, and did not mention Lu Erniang's name.

Princess Jingrou glanced at Lu Xiang'er, her eyes flashed with pride, and she said again: "Oh, I said why Gongzi Lu is not close to you, his own sister, but he is so envious of Lu Xiaoniang's cousin." ”

As soon as Princess Jingrou's words fell, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were immediately stunned, and they didn't understand what she wanted to say. But Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao lowered their heads slightly, and there was some anger in their eyes. Zheng Fangfei's hand placed under the table on the opposite side was gently pinched by Princess Jingrou, but her face showed joy.

Glancing at Lu Xiang'er, Zheng Fangfei followed Princess Jingrou's words and said, "The princess is right, my brother is really not as good as Sister Lu for me, my own sister." Sometimes, I really think that Sister Lu is my brother's own sister. ”

"The sister of the Zheng family doesn't eat it either, and Lu Gongzi and his cousin grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is naturally deeper." After Jing Rougong said meaningfully, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao's faces changed again, both of them were from upper-class families, so they naturally understood the twists and turns inside. If they don't refute Jing Rougong's words now, the two believe that tomorrow the entire Jingshi will spread all over the world, Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er are childhood sweethearts, sharing joys and sorrows, and the two are happy. If Lu Xiang'er and Empress Lu discuss family affairs, no one will believe that Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong are innocent, then her reputation will really be gone.

Lu Xianger and Chaoxia both grew up in the people, where would they understand this. Although they both understood that Princess Jingrou would not say this for no reason, the two of them couldn't think of what she really meant. I can only guess the purpose of Princess Jingrou while being inexplicable.

Wen Yao saw the appearance of Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, sighed in her heart, and said with a smile: "What the princess said is that Wen Yao also envies the brother and sister relationship between Lu Gongzi and Xiang'er. Even his cousin often talked about it at his father, although he did not have biological blood, but he had a pair of filial children. ”

Although Wen Yao used the words "brother and sister" and "children", the accentuated tone also made Princess Jingrou look awe-inspired. But Princess Jingrou's face didn't change slightly because of a few words, she remembered Song Yuan. Princess Jingrou's impression of Song Yuan was still stuck before Song Yuan left Jingshi, and Song Yuan at that time was not someone to offend.

Although Princess Jingrou had not seen it with her own eyes, she had heard from her mother. There was once a prince of the clan who was scared of Song Yuan's favorite bird, and was beaten by Song Yuan on the street with a blue nose and swollen face. Although Song Yuan was finally led by Song Beiqiao to apologize, he was not punished by anyone. Princess Jingrou has also heard people talk about how much Song Yuan loves Lu Xianger and Lu Hong now. If she provoked Song Yuan, she really didn't know what Song Yuan would do.

Thinking that she had forgotten Song Yuan after all her calculations, Princess Jingrou's face was a little ugly. In this way, the subsequent arrangements cannot be used, and Jing Rougong is very unwilling to think of this. At this moment, when she heard that the guys from the winery came to report that Feng Wen and Liao Wenbo had come to congratulate the opening of the winery, Princess Jingrou's expression eased.

Zheng Fangfei, who was sitting next to Princess Jingrou, felt the change in her mood throughout the whole process. Seeing the ruthlessness in Princess Jingrou's eyes, Zheng Fangfei wondered for a moment if she was wrong to be so close to the princess. But seeing Princess Jingrou's smiling face at her, this idea was immediately put to the back of her mind.

Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia on the opposite side only knew the true purpose of Princess Jingrou from Huo Qingqing's mouth at this time. Thinking that if Wen Yao hadn't exited in time, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong would have been calculated by Princess Jingrou, Chaoxia's whole body was cold. Just when she wanted to get up, Lu Xiang'er quickly grabbed her hand and said in a low voice: "Sister Chaoxia, she is a princess." ”

When Chaoxia heard this, her figure froze, and her mind turned a few times before she sat back. Seeing Chaoxia sit down, Lu Xiang'er was slightly relieved. She could also tell from Chaoxia's face that Chaoxia wouldn't be so calculated. Lu Xiang'er could stop her for a while, but she couldn't look at Chaoxia all the time. However, Lu Xiang'er didn't plan to continue to be patient, because Princess Jingrou had gone too far.

Princess Jingrou is the 'body of a daughter', and she uses such a means to do this. Just because she hated an ordinary little lady, she ruined her reputation, you can imagine what kind of person Princess Jingrou is. For such a person, even if Lu Xiang'er leaves Jingshi and never sees Huo Qingsong again, she will not be at ease. The condition that can make Lu Xiang'er completely get rid of Princess Jingrou's entanglement is that she has no chance to calculate Lu Xiang'er anymore.

Lu Xianger's principle of being a person is not to take the initiative to cause trouble, and she is definitely not afraid of things. Princess Jingrou just didn't want her to come into contact with Huo Qingsong, so that she could marry Huo Qingsong. Lu Xiang'er decided, but she couldn't follow her wishes. Moreover, Lu Xiang'er also wants Princess Jingrou to never dare to provoke herself again. Even if the other party is a princess, Lu Xiang'er will not endure it again.

Liao Wenbo and Feng Wen were led upstairs by Tie Ge'er, and Lu Hong got up and went out to greet them. How to say it, the two of them can be regarded as Lu Hong's fellow villagers and classmates, Lu Xiang'er is inconvenient to greet her, and Lu Hong must come up with this head. The fourth prince, Zhao Chengmin, is a person who likes to make friends, he knows that Liao Wenbo and Feng Wen are hot topics in this imperial examination, and he also wants to intersect with them, so he asked Lu Hong to bring the two of them in to sit down and chat.

Lu Hong couldn't refuse, so he had to lead Liao Wenbo and Feng Wen into the room. When the two of them saw the people in the room, the surprise in their eyes flashed, obviously the two did not expect that there would be so many famous Jingshi characters in the room. But after all, the two of them have experienced a big scene, and they didn't panic at all.

Under Lu Hong's introduction, Liao Wenbo and Feng Wen first saluted the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin, and then walked to the other side of the screen to salute Princess Jingrou. Princess Jingrou smiled, obviously interested in Liao Wenbo, and her eyes kept rolling over him. Liao Wenbo felt strange in his heart, but there was no trace of abnormality on his face. But when he got up and was about to go to the other side with Lu Hong and Feng Wen, Princess Jingrou didn't say anything to let him leave.

"This is Liao Gongzi who shines in Wenhua Academy. My cousin He Yuan has been thinking about making such an interesting character as Liao Gongzi these days. After Princess Jingrou finished speaking, she looked at Lu Xiang'er again, and a hint of different color flashed in her eyes.

Lu Xiang'er, who was paying full attention to Princess Jingrou, saw the change in her demeanor very clearly. Thinking of what had just happened, Lu Xiang'er suddenly had a premonition in her heart, this Princess Jingrou would not have just failed to calculate her, and this time she wanted to use Liao Wenbo's old tricks again.

To Lu Xiang'er's surprise, Princess Jingrou was annoyed that Liao Wenbo actually said: "Liao is honored to be remembered by Her Royal Highness the Princess." However, today it was Liao who came to congratulate Senior Brother Lu on the opening of his winery, and I really wanted to have a drink with him. I also asked the princess to forgive her sins, and Liao said goodbye-"

Princess Xiang Jingrou hugged her fist again, and Liao Wenbo didn't look at any of the little ladies here, so he walked to the other side of the screen. Feng Wen was also a little uncomfortable facing the little lady at the table, and followed Liao Wenbo closely. However, Lu Hong felt the strange atmosphere on the table, and some doubts rose in his heart, but he left casually on the surface. I didn't look at Princess Jingrou at all, and she was already desperate to show her resentment.

"It's getting late, I want to go back to the palace to accompany my father, you can do it yourself." Princess Jingrou coldly threw down such a sentence, and then slammed the door away with spring joy.

The fourth prince, Zhao Chengmin, turned his head sideways, glanced at the door that made a loud noise, and sneered and talked to Liao Wenbo and Feng Wen later. But Huo Qingsong turned his head to look at the screen, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something. In short, Princess Jingrou's departure, except for Zheng Fangfei, who was a little lost, all the rest of the people didn't care at all. Lu Xiang'er and the others relaxed even more, and chatted briskly until the end of the banquet.
