Chapter Ninety-One: The Banquet of the Taishou Mansion

"Why didn't you tell me about the people in the yamen without authorization?" Zhang Changxiu took advantage of the situation to hold him accountable.

Chang Le looked at him in surprise, thinking that he would blame her for finding Liu Chengyan, but he didn't know that Zhang Changxiu just changed his statement because of Mu Yingjun's presence. Chang Le thought that he had accepted Liu Chengyan's help, and immediately explained with Yan Yuese.

"Although Liu Chengyan, the master of Baguizhai, is my master, I am afraid that people will misunderstand, so I ask Liu San to be with Liu Zhai, so as not to let outsiders think that I have any personal relationship with the master."

Mu Yingjun didn't wait for Zhang Changxiu to speak, and first said with great interest: "Who is this Zhai Master?" What did you teach Mrs. Taishou? ”

"Lord Liu Zhai is just a scholar, and he opened a shop that buys and sells paintings and calligraphy. My ability to draw is Bishop Liusai's. ”

Chang Le was once again aggrieved about surrendering his identity. Fortunately, Liu Chengyan was not as shameless as her, and forced her to call Master, otherwise she would really be angry.

When Mu Yingjun heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Mrs. Taishou is already so powerful, presumably this fasting master is not simple." I don't know when, Mrs. Taishou will be able to introduce you? ”

"Master is really a rare gentle man, I will also hire him as a calligraphy and painting master in the school, and I will definitely introduce him to Mrs. Du Wei when I have the opportunity." As soon as Chang Le mentioned Liu Chengyan, he felt that Bei'er had face, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Such a proud look and a heartfelt smile pierced Zhang Changxiu's eyes to the point of pain, and his heart also ached faintly.

Once upon a time, her pride had changed, and it was no longer him.

"Listening to Mrs. Taishou's words, I am even more curious, so I just wait." Mu Yingjun said with anticipation.

Chang Le nodded with a smile and turned his head to look at Zhang Changxiu: "Is there something wrong with Taishou coming today?" ”

Zhang Changxiu's chest was stuffy, and he said in a deep voice: "I just came to ask about Liu San." Since Liu San is for the sake of the school, the yamen has not been very busy recently, so I will borrow it from you. Next time, remember to let me know in advance. ”

Chang Le can think of letting Liu San accompany Liu Chengyan and take the initiative to ask to do things under the supervision of his subordinates, which shows that he still takes care of his feelings, and it can also prove that the two of them are indeed innocent. Since there was no outrageous behavior, he had nothing to say.

It's just that this feeling of not being relied on makes him deeply uncomfortable.

Why did she go to a master who had been recognized for a few months, and she didn't want to come and say a few more words to him?

If she is serious, sincere, for the sake of many years of husband and wife, it is not difficult for him to help.

However, she didn't.

I didn't ask, I went to find someone else.

"This also came to me on the spur of the moment."

Chang Le casually found a reason, and saw that the four maids had been guarding the kitchen for a long time, as if the meal was ready, but they were struggling with whether to come and ask if to start the meal. immediately beckoned, and Shili ran over.

"But is the meal ready?" Chang Le asked.

Shili nodded: "Yes." ”

"If Mrs. Du Wei doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay and eat together?" Chang Le warmly entertained Mu Yingjun.

Mu Yingjun also wanted to stay a little longer, so he responded unceremoniously.

Chang Le turned his head towards Zhang Changxiu. Zhang Changxiu's face did not change, but the fingers placed on his legs were inadvertently bent, swaying through the clothes, waiting for Chang Le to speak.

"The food over there should be ready, don't you hurry over?"

Zhang Changxiu was slightly surprised, raised his eyes to stare at her, and slowly clenched his hands into fists. She smiled disappreciably.

"Don't let Hua wait for a long time, it's not good if the food is cold."

That thoughtful look really makes people feel hypocritical. Zhang Changxiu got up reluctantly and said, "That's exactly what I wanted." The official didn't accompany him much, and Madame remembered to entertain Mrs. Duwei well. ”

When the words fell, Zhang Changxiu turned around and left.

"Where else are you pushing your husband out?" Mu Yingjun was puzzled and glanced around at the environment of the pot courtyard. It's obviously a cold yard, and she found it when she came, and it's the same as the rumors.

Chang Le shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "What push." The concubine is pregnant, and he should accompany him more, after all, he is the descendant of their Zhang family. ”

"Mrs. Taishou has been married to Taishou for three years, so she didn't conceive a child?" Madame Du asked curiously.

was repeatedly questioned by the people around him, and Chang Le also began to doubt himself, isn't there something wrong with this Chang Le's body? couldn't conceive a child for three years, not to mention that she and Zhang Changxiu were quite affectionate before, which is really incredible.

"It's up to providence. Does Mrs. Captain have a child? ”

Mrs. Du Wei said: "There are two sons......"

……

Mrs. Duwei chatted with Chang Le in the Taishou Mansion and forgot the time, and Duwei kept the empty room alone.

The lieutenant sat down at the table, and asked people to heat up the meal for a dish or two, and the person sent out to pick up his wife did not return for a long time. Immediately couldn't help but complain.

Madame, this is a new love, forgetting the old love.

This is the first time he has been so snubbed, and all because of Chang Le!

The vinegar bottle was knocked over, and a terrible thought was immediately born.

Wouldn't the way Mrs. Taishou want to repay her favor was to snatch his wife away from him?

"Master, why don't you eat first?" The subordinates next to him were worried about asking.

The stunned lieutenant suddenly slapped the table in annoyance: "Why hasn't Madame come back yet?" ”

The subordinates were helpless: "I have already sent a third person to urge." I think I'm coming back soon. ”

"Send the fourth one again, and say that there is an accident in the house, and Lao Tzu has an accident!"

……

Two days later, it was overcast and not sunny.

The Taishou Mansion held a banquet as scheduled.

The lights are colorful, and the cars and horses are full of doors.

Chang Le stood next to the housekeeper at the door and greeted Zhang Changxiu together.

Today, she is wearing a foggy blue flower placket with wide sleeves and a thin jacket, dark red silk silk, and gray orchid embroidered plum dress. The bun is tied into a hanging cloud, the golden jade beads and hairpins are symmetrical and beautiful, the silver hooks are golden and jade, and the neck is slender and white. Dai eyebrows, pink cheeks, and lips, and plum blossoms between the foreheads.

From beginning to end, she held an ivory fracture fan in her hand, but she smiled silently and stood still like a lotus. is a dignified and dignified housewife, a steady housewife.

Zhang Changxiu was very satisfied with Chang Le's performance, his eyes wandered on her wrist from time to time, there was nothing empty on it, and he couldn't help it when he wanted to speak.

Usually in formal scenes, she will wear the pair of white jade bracelets carved with blue birds.

Mo said that today, I didn't see her wearing it when I went back to the Assassin's Mansion.

Thinking that she had given everything to herself, she didn't want to verify the current situation of the white jade bracelet at all. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself when he knew the truth!

"Head of the house, Madame has a nightmare again."

A little maid from Hongdouyuan suddenly ran over and quietly reported the situation to Zhang Changxiu, her eyes showing urgency, as if the situation was very urgent.

Chang Le glanced at the voice, secretly laughed contemptuously, smirked twice at the guests who came in to congratulate, his mouth didn't open much, and mocked: "Hurry up, the banquet has begun, don't go wrong." ”

She really couldn't open her mouth. Zhang Changxiu glared at her, turned around and followed the little maid to the Red Bean Garden.

As soon as Zhang Changxiu left, Chang Le's whole person was relaxed, and he dealt with the guests very easily, and methodically commanded the servants and maids to serve the guests.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Taishou." Greeted by the jeweled Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin, "Finally, someone can renew the incense for you." ”

Mrs. Jin hugged Jin Chusheng, and the smiling branches trembled wildly, domineering.

Chang Le deeply remembered that this Mrs. Jin once ridiculed her in the Assassin's Mansion. But Mrs. Jin looks like this now, obviously she doesn't remember the last time she was slapped in the face.

"What nonsense?" Jin Chusheng obviously felt that his wife was too rude, which made him look bad, so he hurriedly scolded, "Jing's clumsy words are disrespectful, don't mind Mrs. Taishou." ”

"How? Mrs. Jin is also telling the truth. Chang Lepi didn't smile, he didn't want to communicate with them more, and said directly, "Come on, serve Mrs. Hejin, who is in charge of Jin." ”

A servant next to him immediately stepped forward and led the couple into the door.

"I can't conceive myself, and in the end I have to hold a banquet for the concubine who is pregnant with a child. In this way, you deserve to be bullied. ”

Lady Jin's voice floated from behind her.

"Take care of your mouth."

"That's what the whole city says now, and I'm not alone. The first of the seven is childlessness. She should have been divorced a long time ago. ”

"Okay, let's say a few words."

The two of them faded away, and whispers of the same content came from all directions again. At this time, she was in the doorway, like a clown who was ridiculed.

I was a little angry when I first heard this kind of talk, but after hearing it too much, Chang Le behaved lightly, laughing and laughing at these stupid groundhogs.

But in fact, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

It seems that today's banquet is going to be lively again.

Talking and laughing, ushered in a very gorgeous carriage. The groom got out of the car.

can be exaggerated as a groom official every day, but it is not King Huai alone.

Wherever King Huai passed, everyone bowed their hands and respectfully approached. The housekeeper Zhang Shou had already gone down to greet him.

Chang Le stood at the door with dignity, and did not go down to greet him warmly.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Taishou."

King Huai walked up to him, pinched the fan and arched his hands as if he were in shape, and said an auspicious word.

"The person who wants to congratulate King Huai is not here now."

Chang Le glanced at the demeanor of the people around him, and those noble ladies all cast mocking glances, and gathered in twos and threes behind their backs, adding fuel and vinegar and sneering at her for not having a child.

Obviously, Chang Le was not in a good mood. What is the reason, King Huai is neither deaf nor blind, so he naturally sees it clearly, and he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. On the other hand, her appearance today is very radiant, and she can't help but ridicule.

"Mrs. Taishou is really getting more and more beautiful day by day."

"Thank you Huai Wang for the compliment. King Huai is also getting more and more beautiful day by day. ”

Chang Le smiled and went back. Looking at his white face and tender skin like a peeled egg, the style between his eyebrows and eyes made the little girl feel ashamed when she saw it, and she also felt a little inferior and jealous.

It's strange to say, it's obviously all seductive eyes, and the little guy shows that it's kitsch, even if he throws flattering eyes, people can't say a word "Sao", and the only gesture is the word "merry".

"If King Huai continues to look so good, we women may be so ashamed that we women will cover our faces and close the door."

"Looks are innate, men and women are even different, how can Mrs. Taishou make fun of this king's appearance?" King Huai narrowed his eyes as he spoke, indicating that he was a little angry now.

Chang Le blinked and smiled brightly: "If you say it sincerely, where to have fun, it's just an analogy." Speaking of which, what did King Huai bring today? ”
