Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Moment of Steps

The big red lantern swayed gently with the faint wind, Liu Zhenhan dismounted at the side gate of the Changfu Garden, a girl with a delicate and pleasant face wrapped in a thick cotton cloak that looked clean and refreshing, seeing Liu Zhenhan coming down, he quickly caught up, stood two steps away from him, leaned over to see the salute, and introduced himself in a crisp voice like a silver bell: "The second young master of the Liu family, the slave maid is a first-class girl next to the eldest young master of the Chang family, named Biluo, on the order of the young master of our family, I am here to greet you." The Second Highness, the Third Highness, and the Young Master of the Fang Mansion, and the Young Master of the Sun Mansion have all arrived, and the banquet is officially held at the end of the day, please come with the slave maid. ”

Liu Zhenhan looked at Biluo carefully a few times, nodded with a smile, "There is Miss Lao." ”

Biluo smiled and walked two steps, came to Liu Zhenhan's side, Liu Zhenhan was slightly flustered for a moment, stretched forward with the hand holding the rammer, handed it to Biluo, clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "This is a gift for the old lady of your mansion, bother the girl to take it." ”

Bi Luo took the rammer and bowed his knees back, "Second Young Master Liu, you are polite, this is what a slave should do, please." ”

Liu Zhenhan was slightly behind Biluo three steps away, followed behind her, and looked at the scenery of Changfu while walking, in fact, in Jinjing City, Changfu is not big, but after all, Chang Lao Lady is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, although because of his own uprightness, the official rank has not been promoted, but it is a rare loyal and good minister in the heart of Long Live life, so this mansion is not big, but exquisite, and the scenery is pleasant.

Liu Yi had something in his heart, so he was naturally too lazy to greet a group of young masters of the family in the house, discussing some topics such as national social affairs, and there was a step in the yard that he slipped around without a step, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and squinted his eyes, and when he saw that it was Liu Zhenhan, his eyes instantly enlarged, and his face was full of joy, and he almost trotted and rushed to Liu Zhenhan, "Zhenhan, why did you come!" ”

Biluo stopped for a moment, and immediately bent his knees at the two of them and retreated.

Liu Zhenhan patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, smiled and said politely, "Why don't you enter the house?" What is a person doing out there? ”

Liu Yi was unimpressed by the politeness revealed in Liu Zhenhan's words, and complained to himself: "A group of people in the house are all ambitious people, and they can't talk to me, and I don't bother to talk to them, so I went out for a walk by myself, but I didn't expect to meet you, anyway, why did you come?" ”

"Hehe, it's a little delayed." Liu Zhenhan felt slightly uncomfortable about Liu Yi's direct way of talking to him, and beat the drum a little in his heart, he didn't inquire about this Liu Yi, and naturally knew that this person was a gentleman, but he was by no means a fool, and it could even be said that he was very shrewd, from that time he hurt himself and let his uncle-in-law Li Chenghui, the son of the Loyal Marquis, be scolded by the emperor, you can see the clues, this thing happened, and the coincidence is too much in line with the emperor's intentions.

"That...... Well, will you go back with Yunyun today? Liu Yi smiled and asked tentatively, he vaguely heard from his father that the brothers and sisters of the Liu family now live together, Liu Yi relied on his brain, probably guessed that the two of them should be protected by the annoying Second Highness now, but ...... Although he knew that His Royal Highness's move was well-intentioned and necessary, he still felt a little unbalanced in his heart, in fact, the Liu family could also protect them, and there was no need for His Royal Highness to come down and make up this part!

"It should be, as long as Yunyun doesn't go crazy, she has to stay in Changfu and continue to make trouble!"

"She can play so ......" Before Liu Yi's question was finished, he saw a handsome little guy in a green coat and a small hat hurriedly rushing to the two of them, stepped forward to salute first, half-bowed, and said respectfully: "Two young masters, it's time for a banquet in a while, His Royal Highness the Second Highness sent the little one to invite the two to the table." ”

Liu Zhenhan thanked him, took out a silver dumpling from his waist bag, threw it to the little servant, and said, "Thank you, little brother, let's go in." ”

The little guy thanked him, and respectfully led the two of them to wear flowers and rockeries and willows, and walked to the main courtyard next to them.

Liu Yi piled up his stomach and didn't finish his words, but he was interrupted by the person sent by the Second Highness, although this little guy was respectful and polite, and he looked very festive with a smile, but he was unhappy in his heart, Liu Zhenhan turned his head and glanced at it, seeing that he was puffing up, and reminded in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk in private, and we are not in a hurry at this time, right?" ”

Liu Yi smiled reluctantly and nodded in agreement.

The banquet of Changfu is placed in the flower hall connected by several verandahs on the west side of the main courtyard by the lake, a pipa sound faintly came from the water pavilion in the lake, the second prince and the third prince have already sat down on the main seat in the hall, Liu Zhenhan went straight to the inner kneeling to greet the two princes, and the second prince took the lead in saying: "No courtesy, today is a sign of Chang Daren's love, everyone does not need to be formal, sit down." ”

The third prince quietly raised his eyes and glanced at his second brother, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he usually called for this salute person, as long as the two brothers are together, they are their own errands, and they should be called by themselves, why is it abnormal today? When did the second brother become so approachable?

Liu Zhenhan thanked the two princes, and thanked Chang Daren, who was sitting beside the second prince, and then greeted everyone in the hall, and everyone was confused for a moment and took their seats. Liu Zhenhan walked to Sun Zhiping and sat down, Liu Yi had no choice but to sit down beside Zhao Enhao, the prince of Jian'an, the Hou of Jian'an. The music in the lake is getting higher, the curtains of the water pavilion are rolled up in all directions, several dancers stretch their wide sleeves, singing and dancing, in the flower hall, the little girl in Tsing Yi and white skirt sends all kinds of dishes up like flowing water, and the maid who serves the wine sits on her knees, pours warm wine, and waits thoughtfully.

The second prince Zhou Minhao seems to be very happy today, and his cold and sharp facial features are much softer than usual, and everyone is also a little let go of a little because of his softness, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the few young masters of the family who came to the banquet were already a little dizzy and didn't know the north and south, and the Chang adults were very eye-catching and let the little maid wait for the young master of the family who had already had a little too much wine to go to a few guest rooms in the courtyard not far away to rest and sober up.

Seeing that many noble young masters who were not strong enough to drink or pretended to be too strong to drink were helped out of the flower hall during the banquet, Zhou Minhao swept his sword eyes, Liu Yi still stayed in the banquet without long eyes, Zhou Minrui naturally saw Liu Yi's strong support, and gave a color to Zhao Enhao, Zhao Enhao shook his head helplessly at him, and said that he had done his best, but he really couldn't persuade Liu Yi who was determined to stay in the banquet.

Zhou Minrui blinked, turned his head to look at Zhou Minhao and said with a smile: "Second brother, I really want to thank Master Chang today, this banquet is really thoughtful......" Zhou Minrui looked at his second brother Zhou Minhao, whose face was instantly gloomy, and he couldn't wait to bite off his tongue, as if he had an opinion on the presence of Chang Daren, Zhou Minrui's mind turned quickly, and he continued with what he said: "I don't know how the little ladies in the backyard are playing, it's not too early this day, we can delay for a while, If the little ladies go home too late, it is estimated that everyone in the family should be worried! ”

After listening to the words of the third prince, Lord Chang hurriedly got up and saluted with his fists, and said: "The ministers will arrange people, go to the backyard to see, the banquet in the backyard is arranged by the old minister's clumsy Jing and daughter-in-law in person, and please rest assured, if they are over, Clumsy Jing has already arranged manpower to escort the little ladies of each province back." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Chang, just send them home before three o'clock." Zhou Minhao politely let Chang sit back in his seat. glanced at Liu Yi who looked at him with crystal bright eyes for an instant, and saw that there were no outsiders in the dazzle hall, so he said, "You guys come closer and sit." ”

Liu Zhenhan's eyes flashed with caution, there was no slowness in his movements, and he followed Sun Zhiping a few seats forward, and Sun Zhiping's leg under the table touched him lightly, "Don't be nervous, Your Royal Highness has his own measure!" ”

Chang Daren gave his eldest son a look, Chang Zhangdi, the eldest young master of the Chang family, immediately understood, quickly stood up and walked out of the side hall, and ordered the little girl who was waiting under the corridor to stay away, and arranged for the courtyard to guard around the flower hall, and looked at a few people in the guest room, and then turned around and returned to the flower hall.

"How's it going?" Zhou Minhao saw that Master Chang had made all the arrangements, and Xiao Cuizi also handed him the color, so he looked at Lord Chang and asked.

"The second miss of the Liu family is really ...... The granddaughter taught by Brother Liu really has to be admired...... "Master Chang remembered the words that Liu Yunyun handed to him today, and said with envy and emotion: "It can't be smoother anymore, it's not just the marriage of the third lady of the Lu family, but also the content of the agreement reached between Concubine Xian and Mrs. Lu, which is really a weight to increase our chances of winning!" ”

Mrs. Chang walked out of the flower hall where the little ladies were entertained for dinner, looked up at the bright moon in the sky that seemed to be unchanged for a hundred years, and sighed: "I really have to serve the old, looking at this little lady with flowers and branches, she is really young and energetic, I can't do it, when I see so many people, my head is bulging and protruding, and I can't cope with it." ”

"Look at what the old lady said, but this time flies really fast." Mrs. Chang also sighed.

The little ladies in the flower hall ate the banquet in a regular manner, and as soon as the dishes were removed, they immediately rolled their eyes one by one, and they wanted to play crazy together, and it was not suitable for Mrs. Chang to stay with them, and let the children be restrained, so they made an excuse and quit the flower hall.

"Sister Wu, what are you doing today?" He Yuan couldn't hold back in the end, waited for the little girl to put on tea, approached Wu Jing and sat down, blinking curious eyes and asking.

"What else could it be? Of course, the Wu family's sister's family affairs have been decided! Liu Yinxiao pulled Liu Yunyun to sit beside her and said with a smile.
