Chapter 557: Before the Banquet
"Wei Yaoqing", pretending to be a jujube cake, squinted on the side, as if she was pretending to sleep. The Li family and the Xiao Zhou family told the Wei family sisters.
"It's not better here than at home, I'd rather not say it than say more, it's wrong to say more, you know?"
"Also, don't bump into any nobles!"
……
In fact, these don't need to be said to the sisters of the Wei family, the girls in the long room and the second room who came with them are all obedient masters, and they are not people who will cause trouble, but as elders, they still take the trouble to nag again.
Jujube Cake held her chin and pretended to sleep for a while, and then a medical woman from the garden came over, saying that it was a medical girl called by Miss Xue.
"Miss, please, stretch out your hand." The doctor said.
Jujube Cake glanced at the medicine girl and took out a purse from her sleeve.
A few people on the side looked over, is this going to give a reward? The sixth sister is really different from them and behaves decently...... Hey? The purse was not filled with silver, it seemed to be a sugar pill, she threw it into her mouth, and then stretched out her hand: "No energy, the mouth is very light, eat a plum candy." ”
Everyone fell silent: it turned out that they were thinking too much, and the sixth sister was just greedy for herself.
Seeing this, the doctor said, "Plum candy can be eaten, but spicy things should be avoided." ”
Jujube Cake nodded, stretched out her hand, the doctor girl checked the pulse for a while, and after a while, she glanced at her again, and then said, "I'll prescribe the medicine, and let the kitchen people help boil it for the young lady in a while." Miss's symptoms are not serious, just raise it for a few days. ”
Jujube Cake nodded again, watched the doctor girl leave, and squeezed her purse. Fortunately, the young lady had taken precautions, and something was added to this sweet plum candy-like sugar pill, which could make the medical woman who diagnosed the pulse a little similar to the pulse of the cold.
After checking again and making sure that everyone was here, Miss Xue rubbed her tired eyebrows, sat back on the chair, took the tea handed by the maid and took a sip, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Call Ah Yao to see me." ”
The maid next to him answered, and soon called Ah Yao.
Ah Yao, who was dressed as a medical girl, stepped forward and saluted, and called the eldest lady, she is the medical girl in the Huaiguo Mansion, specially for the female relatives in the mansion, this time the eldest lady brought her over, even if the young lady is uncomfortable here and there, you can take a look first.
"How's Miss Wei Liu?"
"That Miss Wei Liu did suffer from the cold, but the condition is not serious, take two patches of medicine, and rest for two days." Yao said.
Xue Zhirou seemed a little surprised when she heard this: "I didn't expect it to be true!" ”
"Miss?" Ah Yao was puzzled.
Xue Zhirou rubbed her eyebrows and smiled tiredly: "Maybe I'm thinking too much!" She came to the feast, veiled, and did not speak much, and I was a little suspicious. No way, since I was a child, I knew that everything I saw had to be seen with suspicion, and Miss Wei Liu was obviously not normal. ”
But saying that she was not normal, she took the initiative to pull down the veil again. Although I am not familiar with her, I can still see that this is indeed the appearance of Miss Wei Liu. Xue Zhirou said and shook her head, "No way, I'm used to being suspicious, it's always good to be careful." ”
……
The lights in the garden were already lit up, and it was bright and dark in the twilight of the mountain.
The most beautiful thing in the Zhiwei Garden is the Jiuqu Pavilion in the middle, on the huge lake, the bridge path is covered with long carpets, and the banquet is placed around the lake, with a cool breeze. The maids walked around the nine-curved path with wine and food, their skirts fluttering, and there was an inexplicable artistic conception of extravagance and elegance, which was completely different from the royal grandeur of the Furong Garden in Chang'an City.
Today, there is no screen separating the male and female guests, only the winding path in the middle is far away, and the situation on the opposite side is unobstructed. Although today was only a small banquet, this did not prevent the young lady from talking in a low voice about the person opposite, and let out a chuckle or two from time to time.
The Wei family's seat is not in the front, and several girls are also honestly sitting on the seat with some wine and food, whether it is Xiao Zhou's or Li's who came today, they are not the kind of people who want to sharpen their heads and drill into the circle of powerful wives, so several people are sitting quietly in their seats. The chef invited is very good, and the food is delicious. Jujube cake seriously pretended to be "Miss" and was using some food, but fortunately, Miss had almost no taboos on weekdays, and she ate a lot.
After sitting for a while, the dignified and elegant girl walked around the winding path, walked to Wei Yaoyu's side and stopped: "Sister Wei, someone wants to see you." ”
Although she couldn't find anything wrong with her words, her tone was hard, and she seemed to be a little reluctant, Wei Yaoyu raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her, she stretched a face, and there was a faint hint of impatience on her face.
Wei Yaoyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly recognized the girl in front of her: "Miss Cui? ”
Cui Jiahan's wife, Cui's daughter-in-law, it is said that such a person will not have any friendship with him, but this is not the case, this Miss Cui can't get used to her, and once wanted to tease her but was tricked by the sixth sister. Compared with Cui Han, who was reluctant but seemed to have to come, Wei Yaoyu was a lot calmer. She knew that she used to only want to get married, although she had her own reasons, but in the eyes of others, she was indeed not a good girl with good conduct. Now it seems that he is also a little ashamed.
The jujube cake on the side glanced at her, lowered her head, and the young lady said, don't make trouble, wait for the young lady to come.
No matter what you say, she exchanged Geng posts with Cui Cong, and Wei Yaoyu didn't want to offend Cui Han, so she stood up: "Miss Cui will lead the way!" ”
Cui Han walked ahead with a stiff face, and walked out of the nine-winding path in a short time: "You wait, starling will come over in a while." ”
When she went back to find her brothers in the clan, Cui Han naturally didn't keep her face tight, she walked up to her brother Cui Jing, and shouted sweetly: "Ninth brother." Although his brother-in-law is unapologetic to himself, and sometimes he is indifferent, but in Cui Han's impression, his brother will be in charge of the Cui family in the future, so it should be. What's more, as a woman, I am afraid that I will have to rely on my brother when I marry in the future, so in front of Cui Jing, she has always been very obedient.
Cui Jing responded and called Cui Cong: "Starling, take Miss Wei Er to meet your aunt!" It's always a family in the future. ”
Cui Cong smiled: "Actually...... It doesn't matter if you see it or you don't see it. After a pause, he said, "However, Xiao Jiu is still thoughtful." ”
Cui Jing nodded, sideways and out of the way, Cui Han pointed in the direction, and Cui Cong went over to find Miss Weier.
Waiting for Cui Cong to leave, Cui Jing got up, Cui Han hurriedly followed, and Brother Jiu didn't catch her, so she followed.
After taking two steps, Cui Jing stopped: "I'm going to talk to a few colleagues, what are you doing with me?" ”
"Brother Jiu, you're composing poetry over there, why don't you go?" Cui Han was puzzled. Brother Jiu's colleagues are those officials in the officialdom, most of them are not young, for Cui Han, the attraction of these officials is far less than that of those young sons who write poems and lyrics, Brother Jiu's poems are very good, otherwise they will not be spread in Chang'an City. But since the imperial examination, I haven't seen Brother Jiu compose poems and lyrics. Probably busy!
"Not interested." Cui Jing said that after being a powerful person, he was born with a lot more choices than many people. can be an elegant idler who writes lyrics and poems all his life, or he can rise and fall in the officialdom, and for him, he prefers the latter. In the past, composing poems and writing lyrics was just a means to become famous, and he was not a person who really liked to compose lyrics and poems.
"That's right," Cui Jing looked at Cui Han who pouted and was dissatisfied, and suddenly remembered, Ah Han seemed to have some festivals with the Cui family sisters, just now he greedily asked Cui Han to call someone, thought about it, and asked, "What did the young ladies of the Fang Cai Wei family say about you?" ”
To listen to Cui Han tell the truth, you need to ask this.
"Nope!" Cui Han replied, saying that she was also a little puzzled, she was deeply impressed by this young lady of the Wei family, especially the sixth young lady, and remembered that she made her lose a big face for Miss Wei Er last year, and she just went over by herself, her attitude was so bad, she actually didn't say a word, it's really weird! Could it be that he saw that Wei Er was going to marry into their Cui family, and deliberately curry favor with her?
