Hearing Xiao Liang come back and say that Tang Lu'er had left the house from the back door, and King Anyuan had also come in from the gate, Chen Yanhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, since the invitation was sent out in the house last night, her heart has been hanging. Because she couldn't be sure whether King An Yuan would come to the banquet today, even if she was anxious, she held back and quietly left Tang Lu'er in the mansion. It wasn't until now that she was sure that King An Yuan would come over, and she let the people out, the purpose of which was to cut off all opportunities for them to meet.

Maybe she was too careful, but this matter had to be guarded against.

Chen Yanhong looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"Why is the girl sighing?" Xiao Liang was instructing the little maids to clean up the house, and then turned around and covered the bottles and cans of rouge powder on the dressing table one by one, just when she heard Chen Yanhong's sigh, she asked puzzledly, she was in a good mood to see the four girls in the morning.

"I didn't want to do this to her, but she shouldn't ......" Chen Yanhong muttered in a low voice, using such means was actually not what she wanted. Xiao Liang couldn't hear what Chen Yanhong said just now, so he asked again: "What did the girl say?" Chen Yanhong smiled faintly, then stood up and shook her head, and asked another question: "You just came over there, but who are the female guests?" ”

Xiao Liang put on Chen Yanhong's cloak and said, "The county lord of Duanyuan has already come over, and he is talking to his wife, and several girls from the Song, Qi, and Xu families have also arrived. ”

"Lord Duanyuan, did you see her?" Chen Yanhong asked as she walked out.

"I only glanced at it from a distance, but I couldn't see it clearly." Xiao Liang said, glanced at Chen Yanhong, and said with a flattering smile, "But just from a distance, I also think that the Duanyuan County Lord is not as good as the fourth girl." ”

Chen Yanhong glanced at her and pretended to reprimand: "This can also be nonsense, how can I compare with the county lord, let's go, take care of your mouth, be careful of saying the wrong thing and be punished." ”

"Isn't this the truth of the slave maid, after all these years, the slave maid has never seen anyone who can compare with the girl's appearance." Xiao Liang saw that Chen Yanhong was not really angry, so he made persistent efforts to pat the horses.

Chen Yanhong ignored her anymore and walked forward, but sighed softly in her heart, no matter how good her appearance is, everything may not go well, and she needs something else......

As soon as Shangguan Yu entered the Chen Mansion, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion bowed down and led him all the way to the garden where the banquet was placed.

In the cool autumn, it is the season when the chrysanthemum blooms.

Therefore, in the name of flower appreciation, the banquet Chen Mansion uses flowers as a screen in the center of the garden to separate the positions of men and women. This is not only charming, but also more elegant. The most important thing is that these unmarried men and women, who are inconvenient to meet on weekdays, can take advantage of this banquet to facilitate each other. It also paves the way for the next autumn hunting. In short, this is a good thing for everyone, so today's banquet, whether it is the host or the guests, is extremely attentive.

The seats in the garden have already been arranged, the female guest side is just a round table, and the male guest side is arranged with several large long tables to form a missing horizontal word, and the open space specially left in the middle is for the artists to play and sing for a while. In the eyes of such nobles, the so-called banquets, especially the banquets for the guests, are indispensable for the enjoyment of the silk and bamboo pipes.

Before Shangguan Yu entered the park, he heard the faint sound of conversation. The voice is not very loud, and they are all a little gentle and self-controlled, even when they occasionally meet the subordinates who come out of it, their behavior is also appropriately elegant.

There were a lot of guests invited by the Chen Mansion today, there were more than twenty men and women combined, and most of them had already come over, and Shangguan Yu was the last. Therefore, as soon as he showed his face, the guests who were talking stopped and got up one after another, and Old Man Chen walked over with a smile and invited him to take a seat. The two of them humbled for a while, and then sat down at the same time, followed by mutual greetings, and after a while, the female guest was also led by Mrs. Chen, slowly walked from the other side of the garden, and slowly took a seat.

When the golden chrysanthemum bloomed, Zhong Ming Ding Food House, the meeting of red men and green women, the air was suddenly filled with all kinds of impatient feelings.

As soon as Chen Yanhong entered the garden, her gaze passed through the row of brilliant dragon claw golden chrysanthemums, and accurately fell on the purple-robed man opposite. The moment they entered, almost everyone on the male side, consciously or unconsciously, looked over here, except for the one in the first seat, who was still slightly lowering his eyes and talking to her grandfather in a low voice.

"That is King Anyuan!" Just as he was in a daze, a slightly proud voice suddenly sounded next to him, Chen Yanhong came back to her senses, retracted her gaze, glanced at the Duanyuan County Lord next to her, nodded slightly, and then said, "County Lord, please take a seat." ”

The county lord of Duanyuan glanced at Chen Yanhong, smiled meaningfully, and then turned around and said a few polite words to Mrs. Chen before slowly sitting down.

Chen Yanhong was a little unhappy by the glance of the Duanyuan County Lord just now, so when they were seated, she quietly glanced at the Duanyuan County Lord again. I saw that the other party had a silver basin face, and the facial features on the face were not very good, but under the curved green eyebrows, the slender Danfeng eyes were extremely attractive. Look at the clothes on her body, because of the plump figure, so the clothes on her body are very dazzling, the red magpie plum is full of gold, the waist is tied with a gold silk dark pattern belt, and the bottom is a water red satin Luo skirt, and the skirt is also embroidered with gold thread The pattern of the magpie plum fighting for spring is also embroidered with gold thread.

Chen Yanhong had only been in contact with the county lord of Duanyuan for a short time, and she had spoken less than ten sentences, and she found that the arrogance of this county lord was a naked expression, and the other party was not at all like the women of these families, no matter what emotions they had, they had to hide seven points.

But this is just a difference in personality, it doesn't mean that the other party is reckless. Chen Yanhong slowly retracted her gaze, thinking secretly in her heart, she didn't know who this Duanyuan County Lord was, but who she liked, she thought, and raised her eyes to look at the first seat of the male guest.

When Tang Lu'er walked home slowly, for some reason, she always felt as if something was missing from her side.

When she was scratching her head and puzzled, a big yellow dog next to her suddenly barked twice, she was startled, and suddenly remembered that Zhaocai was still in Chen's mansion! Oh no, I forgot about the little guy, Tang Lu'er quickly turned around and walked back.

Recently, Zhaocai seems to have become addicted to playing with Jiaojiao, so much so that Zhaocai sometimes sneaks to Chen's house to find her to be coquettish, and bullies the petite dog by the way. This morning, she still watched the two little ones making noise in the garden, and she wanted to take it back at lunchtime, but she didn't want to forget the stubble when she just came out.

Gotta go back and bring it back, the little guy is very clever and knows the difference between good and evil. But she knew in her heart that if people's hearts really gave birth to evil thoughts, animals would really only suffer losses, not to mention that there were indeed a few people in the yard who did not like to see the fortune.

……

At the same time, the banquet in Chen's mansion has already made people start to serve food.

Embroidered high gluttony eight fruit base, wisps of gold incense medicine, carved nectar decoction, brick fragrant salty and sour, flower cooking quail, lychee white kidney, eel fried horseshoe crab, goose gizzard palm soup...... The dazzling delicacies were sent out of the kitchen like flowing water, and Mama Rong stared at every person who received the dishes with a pair of lantern-like eyes, and reprimanded a few words from time to time.

It wasn't until the first round of dishes was served that Mama Rong confessed a few words with a tiger face, and then hurriedly walked out to relieve herself and come back. But she didn't want to see a small gray hairball squatting next to the flower garden over there as soon as she walked out.

I felt a little familiar for a while, and I quietly walked in to take a look, and I recognized it as the wild cat! Rong Mama's eyes suddenly lit up, and she remembered the claws she was scratched that day, and said in her heart, Okay, you, this will be sent to the door by you, I can't help your master, and I can't help you a wild bastard, now let's count the old and new hatreds together!

After Tang Lu'er hurriedly came in from the back door, she was rushing to Chen Yanhong's yard when she suddenly heard a few faint sounds of cats and dogs barking from the other side of the garden. She carefully distinguished, that is, she was stunned, and then she was shocked, she knew that the Chen Mansion was hosting a banquet in the garden today, and if Zhaocai really collided with a guest there, it would be amazing!

Rong Mama wanted to use the net pocket to catch the fortune, and then teach her a good lesson, but she didn't find a suitable net pocket for a while, and she was afraid that the fortune would run away while she was not careful, so she broke a branch nearby, and then quietly walked behind the fortune, intending to directly see the cat's legs discounted.

That will Zhaocai just finished peeing, is seriously digging the sand to do cleaning work, I don't want to dance a stick from behind, it is so frightened that its tail stands up, and it jumps up in an instant, narrowly dodging the evil blow, who knows that the next stick is swung again. With a loud meow, it jumped aside, and when it looked back, it recognized it as its master's enemy.

Fortune reflexively put on a fighting posture, Rong Mama didn't want to miss it, and her heart was even more angry, so she immediately picked out a few stones from the ground, and said to a few maids over there: "Catch this wild cat quickly, kill it, don't let it disturb today's distinguished guests." ”

Zhaocai is a smart little raccoon cat, when he sees that he is outnumbered, and the other party has a weapon for long-range attack, so he no longer loves to fight, and immediately turns around and flees.

At the other end of the garden, the guests on the seats were talking about wine, and the servants under the seats were smiling and pouring wine, and at this moment of joy, a subordinate's exclamation suddenly sounded, and then there was the sound of pots and bowls falling to the ground! Before everyone understood what was happening, they saw a gray hair ball jump over out of nowhere, and it landed directly on the male guest's side, one of the tables full of delicacies!

"Aim-" Zhaocai stepped over a few plates and bowls, and then stood on the table, frying his hair, flapping his tail, and shrinking his pupils, staring in the direction that was chasing him. It's just that there are still people over there who dare to chase after her, in fact, when she chased halfway before, Mama Rong was already frightened.

The whole garden, for a moment, was silent, and all eyes fell on the wild cat.

Chen Yanhong was stunned for a long time, and Shangguan Yu was also stunned when she saw this arrogant little civet cat. And Qiao Shizi, who was sitting next to Shangguan Yu and came from Changxin Palace, looked at Zhaocai with interest, he has always loved pets, so when he saw Zhaocai, his heart began to jump wildly.

"Where did this wild cat come from, don't catch it yet!" Chen Jiansheng was glanced at by Old Man Chen, and immediately came back to his senses, and immediately drank a sentence.

Although Zhaocai still felt a little confused, he had already found that the feeling of such danger was stronger at this time. As soon as Chen Jiansheng's obviously angry voice fell, several skilled nurses walked over quickly, blocking all the ways out of Zhaocai, and at the same time grabbed it.

At that moment, Shangguan Yu's eyes narrowed, and Qiao Shizi was about to open his mouth, and at the same time, a girl wearing a green dress with green onions suddenly rushed to the front from behind one of the nurses, and opened her hand towards the little civet cat who was a little flustered, and shouted: "Fortune!" ”

"Meow~" Zhaocai jumped and threw himself into Tang Lu'er's arms from the long case, squinting his eyes, shaking his head and rubbing against her.

The nurses were stunned for a while, and the surroundings fell into a new round of silence.

"This, which girl in the courtyard is this!" Chen Jiansheng's face was so angry that he almost didn't have a heart attack, and now Chen's face can be regarded as a complete loss!

Mrs. Chen over there also had a gloomy face, and she couldn't wait to let someone go up and shave the girl's ears dozens of times, and then let someone drag her down. Thinking so, she glanced at Chen Yanhong reproachfully, Chen Yanhong lowered her face slightly, but immediately raised her eyes again, looked at the first seat of the male guest, and suddenly felt a lot of bad taste in her heart, and her palms were quietly clenched. That girl, she obviously sent it out, why did she run back again, and it's still ......

And Chen Yijie, who was sitting on the other side, the injury on his face was almost healed, looked at Tang Luer with some worry at this time, thinking about whether to say something for her.

"Why don't you pull this girl off with a clear mind! What a system this becomes! Mrs. Chen forcibly suppressed the fire in her heart and glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, who knew herself, so she opened her mouth and gave an order, and walked to Tang Lu'er by herself.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, and I didn't mean to invite money, it was just ......" Tang Lu'er was really a little panicked at this time, looking at the head of the banquet, and then looking at the person sitting there, he knew that they were all noble masters.

Her fortune was really in trouble, and she knew it was a big disaster with her toes.

It's just that when she apologized and explained before she finished speaking, she saw the purple-robed man on the first seat, who was looking at her, her voice suddenly stopped, and then she stood there stunned with Zhaocai in her arms.

Mama Zheng had already walked to Tang Lu'er's side, and Zhao Cai moved her body uneasily, just before Mama Zheng's big hand grabbed Tang Lu'er's arm, Shangguan Yu withdrew her gaze from Tang Lu'er, turned to Old Man Chen, and said slowly: "That girl, and that cat, have an old relationship with Lone, can Old Man Chen give Lone a thin face, don't embarrass them." ”
