Extra 1st Birthday Banquet (1)
On this day, the wind is soft and the day is warm.
The clouds in the sky floated in wisps, and the sky became more and more blue.
The Dongxiang Hou Mansion is like a city, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going.
Today is the day when Shangguan Feng, the son of Su Chong, the grandson of the Marquis of Dongxiang, and the great-grandson of Chonglao Guogong, Shangguan Feng, turns one year old.
There were a lot of guests, but no one had an invitation in their hand.
This time, the Marquis of Dongxiang did not send invitations, but only said in the court, "Two days will be my grandson's first birthday banquet, if the ministers are free, you might as well go to the Chongguo Mansion to have a good time." ”
The Marquis of Dongxiang has been in Beijing for a long time, and the banquet has only been held a few times, once no one has come to the door to send a post, and once the Manchu Dynasty has been forced to even have the emperor present.
Dongxiang Hou is not a person who likes to persecute people, but he needed that pomp at that time, so he had to be a little domineering.
Now it's just his grandson's first birthday party, everyone can come to him happy, and it doesn't matter if they don't.
After all, with his and Chonglao Guogong's identity, who will be invited to be there?
Even if it is lying on the sickbed, it will be supported by people.
Say it casually, if you can, you will come.
It's just that I didn't expect him to say casually, and almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have arrived.
The big kitchen is busy with your feet not touching the floor.
There were too many people, and I temporarily invited the chef of the Drunken Immortal Building and the imperial chef of the Beauty Pavilion, otherwise only half of the people could sit and watch the other half eat.
Dongxianghou's waist was pinched and swollen.
This banquet was discussed between the eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion and the Tang family, thinking that eight tables were enough, and the children's first birthday banquet would not be large.
Who would have thought that Dongxiang Hou would say casually, and the sixteen tables may not be able to sit down.
Isn't it a shame that others come to congratulate them, and they don't even have all the food, and they are in a hurry temporarily?
Originally, the arrangements were properly arranged, but now she had to pull Mrs. Shen to greet the guests, so she could free up her hands to arrange the maids.
Backyard rockery.
Young Master Su was eating candy and shaking his feet.
There were a lot of people, and the Tang family was afraid that they would make trouble, so they drove them to the backyard to play.
Young Master Su was very unconvinced.
What kind of mess can they make?
They don't know many of those people, and it is impossible for them to get into trouble if they are so calm and serious.
But her mother was too busy to be patient, so they could only be obedient.
With so many guests, how faceless is it to be hung in a row?
But the front yard is so lively, and the back yard is cold and boring.
They're the ones who love to join in the fun.
Young Master Su bit the candy and said, "What did you catch when you were a child?" ”
The Nine Emperors replied, "I asked the old lady in the palace and said that I was holding a book. ”
"I'm grasping an abacus," Young Master Zhao said.
"I'm grabbing a book," Young Master Shen said.
After they answered, they asked Young Master Su, "What are you catching?" ”
Young Master Su looked at the sky and was melancholy, "I asked my father and mother, and they said they didn't remember what they caught." ”
"Mother Jiang said that I didn't hold a birthday banquet at all, and that day it happened to be a robbery, and my father was busy robbing and couldn't take care of me."
“……。”
Watching the tiger baby hold such a lively first birthday party, and then thinking that his father was busy robbing and couldn't even take care of his first birthday party, his heart couldn't be said to be desolate.
He also wanted to know what he caught.
After the sugar man finished eating, Young Master Su lay flat with a wooden stick in his mouth, very comfortable.
The quieter it is, the clearer it will be to hear the sounds around you.
The joy of the crickets.
This voice is crisp and loud, and you know that the combat power is very strong when you hear it.
Young Master Su grew up in Qingyun Mountain since he was a child, and he didn't catch crickets to play.
He sat up and jumped down the rockery, searching for the sound to catch the crickets.
The Nine Emperors and Young Master Shen helped.
Four people block a cricket, that is, it is difficult to fly with wings.
In front of the gate of the Dongxiang Marquis' Mansion.
After listening to the soft sedan chair, Su Jin came out of the sedan chair.
She couldn't hold back, and threw up while holding the stone lion.
Xing'er looked at her, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
Xie Jingchen was a little scared.
Su Jin was dizzy, only to feel that the world was spinning, and Tang came out and said, "You are pregnant, why don't you stay in the palace and take care of the baby?" ”
Su Jin shook his head, "Mother, I'm fine." ”
"I'm tired of sitting in a carriage and want to sit in a soft sedan chair, who would have thought that the soft sedan would be more bumpy."
Her internal organs were upside down.
Tang Shi said angrily, "It's not that I haven't sat in a soft sedan chair." ”
Su Jingang wanted to say that she had never sat on it, and suddenly remembered the experience of getting married and sitting in a soft sedan chair.
It's just that she stabbed herself unconscious that time, and she doesn't remember the pain of the bump at all.
Xie Jingchen helped Su Jin into the mansion, but Yuan'er didn't bring it, and the prince and princess also came.
As soon as they entered the mansion and saw Xie Jingchen, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh.
On the day he came back, Su Jin took the child and Xie Jingchen into the palace to greet the emperor, and Yuan'er soaked gold on the emperor, and Su Jin couldn't take care of it because she was pregnant with morning sickness.
The emperor ordered Xie Jingchen to hug Yuan'er.
Xie Jingchen also disliked Yuan'er's dirty body, and let Xing'er take it away.
Before Xing'er stepped forward, the emperor directly stuffed Yuan'er into his arms.
According to the guards and palace maids and eunuchs who were watching at the time, if they hadn't run fast, they might have laughed out loud and their lives would have been lost.
Yuan'er changed his clothes, and the emperor changed his dragon robe, thinking that Yuan'er wouldn't anymore, so he continued to play with him.
The emperor hugged for a while, and then let Yuan'er lie on the dragon case.
In view of the experience of the king of Nan'an County being urinated on by his own son, Gonggong Fu also stuffed the diaper a little tighter to ensure safety.
But I can take care of the front, but I can't take care of the back.
Yuan'er urinated on the dragon case.
When Xie Jingchen picked up Yuan'er, his urine accidentally dripped on the fold.
And then—
The emperor asked him to finish the recital before leaving the palace.
The emperor teased his grandson, and Su Jin sat there to rest, and he was commenting on it......
When the time came, the eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion put the things used to catch lots on the big round table and let the tiger baby catch them.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone.
Gold, silver, beads, treasures.
There are also daggers, books, abacus, flowers, eggs......
A table was full.
The nurse came with the tiger baby in her arms and placed it in the middle of the big round table in the curiosity of everyone.
The tiger baby is not afraid of life, her eyes are very similar to Su Chong, seeing so many people, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she smiles.
He only cares about looking at people, and the bunch of games in front of him are not attractive.
The eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion walked to the table and said with a smile, "Tiger baby, grab things and play." ”
She grabbed the pen in her hand and shook it, attracting the tiger baby to crawl over.
The tiger baby really passed, crawled staggeringly, tilted her body, and smashed her head on the steamed bun.
However, the tiger baby didn't like to cry, so she continued to crawl, grabbed the pen in the hand of the eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion, played for a while, and used it to poke the inkstone......
Obviously, he is used to seeing Su Chong dipping ink, and he has learned from him.
It's amazing to have such a good memory at such a young age.
However, the tiger baby was not very interested in the pen, so she put it down after playing for a while and went to get something else.
But none of them he couldn't put down.
Everyone watched quietly and let him make his own choice, including the eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion.
In the quiet room, the cries of the gnats were particularly loud.
Listening to the sound coming from the table, Dongxiang Hou saw the bamboo cage used to hold the grasshoppers, and his face turned black into the background color of the pot.
Who put the gnats on the table?!
He looked at Young Master Su, who shrank his neck.
Finished.
I'm going to be beaten.
The tiger baby has good ears, and crawled to the side of the gnats with a cry, and watched the gnats crawl in the cage.
The first time I saw the grasshopper, the tiger baby was very novel, and she looked at it seriously.
Dongxiang Hou wanted to drag his son out and beat him.
There are eggs on the side of the grasshopper, and the tiger baby picks it up and feeds the grasshopper, "eating the eggs...... ”
An egg smashed down, and the gnats were directly smashed to death.
Everyone," ....... ”
Young Master Su's heart hurts.
This is what they finally caught, it is the best among the grasshoppers, and they were brutally stoned to death.
The grasshopper stopped screaming, and the tiger baby didn't care about the grasshopper, and after reading the things on the table, he couldn't mention his interest, so he continued to look at people.
"It seems that there is no such thing as a tiger baby," Dongxiang Hou said with a smile.
"Bring the Flying Tiger Seal."
Uncle Lin went to the study to get the Flying Tiger Seal.
The seal was placed on the table, and the tiger baby crawled over and wanted to pick it up, but his strength was definitely not able to take it.
He leaned in and nibbled.
Dongxiang Hou has a black line on his face.
That's not food.
Dongxiang Hou asked the nurse to carry the tiger baby, and the tiger baby cried on the nurse's shoulder, grabbing her little hands at the table, obviously asking for something.
The eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion gave him a pen, but the tiger baby didn't want it.
Take one and don't want one, and the last thing you want is the Flying Tiger Seal.
He can't take it, Su Chong can't take it for him, he must be held by the nurse.
The nurse is terrified.
It wasn't something she could touch.
Those ministers Kua Huwa will inherit his father's business in the future, and he will definitely be a great general who gallops across the battlefield in the future.
The Dongxiang Marquis and the Chonglao Guogong were both happy.
The king of Nan'an County stood aside and watched, "I don't know what my son will catch Zhou in a few days?" ”
Hou Shizi of Beining patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although your son is young, he looks similar to you, I am really curious about what he will catch." ”
Not only Chu Shun is curious, Princess Nan'an is anxious, and she can't wait to celebrate her grandson's first birthday in advance, how interesting is this.
After the week, everyone sat down for a feast.
After Young Master Su took the cicada and buried it, he obediently went back to the house to read, and he was as serious as he wanted.
After the banquet was dispersed, Dongxiang Hou went to look for him, and Young Master Su directly admitted his mistake, "Dad, I'm already copying the house rules." ”
The Nine Emperors didn't speak, but they were obviously copying.
Dongxiang Hou said, "Go and catch a few more gnats." ”
Young Master Su looked frightened, "Dad, I really know that I was wrong. ”
"Don't let me eat gnats."
Dongxiang Hou, "......." ”
For the sake of his mistake, Dongxiang Hou didn't plan to beat him.
But when Young Master Su spoke, he was looking for a beating.
What do you mean not to let him eat gnats?
Is he the one who will make him eat gnats?
Dongxiang Hou said, "Go and catch it, I'll accompany you to fight crickets." ”
Young Master Su was stunned.
He leaned in and sniffed it, it smelled of alcohol, but it wasn't very heavy, "Dad, how much wine have you drunk?" ”
Dongxiang Hou touched the back of his head and said, "Your father, I'm not an unreasonable person. ”
"I'm interested in these things at your age, too."
Young Master Su's eyes lit up.
His father had never been so talkative.
"Then I'll really catch it," Young Master Su said excitedly.
"Go ahead, grab a few more," Dongxiang Hou said with a smile.
Young Master Su ran out of the door quickly, lying on the ground and catching crickets.
It's dirty, but it's happy.
I caught five or six crickets.
The Marquis of Dongxiang asked them to pick crickets first, and then fight crickets with them.
Uncle Lin stood aside and said, "What's so fun with this cricket without betting?" ”
Young Master Su looked at Dongxiang Hou, "Dad, if we win, will you let us go out to play?" ”
Dongxiang Hou looked at him, "Then what if you lose?" ”
Young Master Su discussed a few times, "Then we won't go out to play for half a month." ”
Inevitably not admitting the account afterwards, Dongxiang Hou asked Uncle Lin to write down the note, and everyone pressed down their handprints.
Young Master Su fought with Dongxiang Hou first and lost.
And then there are the Nine Emperor Princes.
Then there is Young Master Shen.
Finally, there is Young Master Zhao.
Without exception, they all lost.
Young Master Su was not convinced, "Dad, your crickets must be more powerful, let's change them." ”
Dongxiang Hou agreed.
He looked at Young Master Su and said, "Bet again, if you win, you will be allowed to go out, and the note that you are not allowed to go out for half a month will also be invalidated, and if you lose, you will not be allowed to go out for twenty days." ”
Young Master Su thought about it and decided to bet on it.
And then—
Four lost again.
Young Master Su was even more unconvinced.
The same cricket, why does it win in the hands of his father and lose in their hands?
Young Master Su wants to continue gambling.
Dongxiang Hou agreed.
The four continued to catch crickets the next day.
Lost a mess.
Continue gambling on the third day.
Lost miserably again.
The four of them haven't been able to go out for half a year.
But the more I can't get out, the more I want to continue gambling.
None of the four of them woke up, and they were already indulging in winning.
If you don't go out for half a year, who can bear it?
Two years after losing, Young Master Su cried.
If he doesn't go out for two years, isn't this his life?
Young Master Su went to Dongxiang Hou to regret it.
Dongxiang Hou flipped through the notes in his hand and said, "With the notes as proof, do you want to repay the debt?" ”
"But Dad, you are bullying the small," Young Master Su was unconvinced.
Dongxiang Hou looked at him and said, "No matter how old you are in the casino, as long as you have money and gambling funds, there will be a bunch of people who gamble with you." ”
Young Master Su was dumbfounded, "I don't bet with them." ”
"Are you sure you can bear it when you go to the casino?" Dongxiang Hou asked.
"I'm sure I can!" Young Master Su was categorical.
"Others will tempt you," Togo Hou said.
"I won't be tempted by them!"
Dongxiang Hou nodded, "Very good." ”
"Then Uncle Lin deliberately tempted you, why didn't you notice it?"
Young Master Su, "......!!! ”
The Nine Emperor Princes, you look at me, I look at you, dumbfounded.
Dongxiang Hou patted Young Master Su's head and said, "You are defensive against me, but not Uncle Lin, in the casino, there are many people who tempt you to fall into it step by step." ”
"You lose once, you want to win back, and finally you fall into it step by step, regretting not being at the beginning."
"But it's too late for you to regret it."
Young Master Su was teary-eyed.
Dad won't really let them go out to play for two years, right?
Dongxiang Hou looked at him, "Now that you have lost to me for two years, what are you going to do?" ”
Young Master Su didn't dare to say anything.
Dongxiang Hou knew his thoughts, and said, "Do you want to practice your gambling skills and then gamble with me and win back what you lose?" ”
Young Master Su nodded.
Dongxiang Hou smiled, "It's good to win, but if you lose again, you won't be able to go out for another two years." ”
Young Master Su's heart collapsed a little.
He hates gnats.
Young Master Su hugged Dongxianghou's leg and said, "Dad, I won't gamble anymore, you let me go out to play." ”
Dongxiang Hou looked at Uncle Lin, "Ordinary casinos don't admit it, what happened in the end?" ”
"Those who have been chopped off and have broken their legs," Uncle Lin replied.
“……。”
Dongxiang Hou picked up Young Master Su and said, "In the past two days, Dad will take you to the casino." ”
It's just that Dongxianghou went to the casino as a scare, but I was afraid that the casino would be closed.
The Marquis of Dongxiang let them change their appearance, and the Nine Emperors dressed up as little servants.
There are all kinds of people in the casino, and Young Master Su watched a rich kid gamble the money on his body, mortgage the family heirloom jade pendant, and then borrow money, sign the document, and press his fingerprint.
After losing the bet, the rich kid went out with a haggard face.
The next day, he stole the family's deed to continue gambling.
Day 3......
Wait four days......
Half a month later, he said that he had no money, and the gambling house took a large pile of money to ask him for debts.
The rich kid didn't admit it, and his nose and face were swollen after being beaten.
The gambling house came to ask for debts, and Dongxiang Hou took Young Master Su and them to see it.
The rich boy's father was stunned on the spot.
That situation left a lot of shock on the young minds of Young Master Su and them.
"Still interested in betting?" Dongxiang Hou asked.
"I'm not going to bet if I die!" Young Master Su's face was unprecedentedly serious.
Dongxiang Hou said that he returned home.
Young Master Su followed behind his ass and begged bitterly, "Dad, I've done deep introspection, you let me go out to play." ”
"Ming'er is the first birthday of the young master of the palace of Nan'an County, and I still want to send a congratulatory gift."
Dongxiang Hou looked at him and said, "Do you think your father and I are so easy to talk to?" ”
Young Master Su, "......." ”
Dongxiang Hou walked away.
Young Master Su went to find Tang, and Tang only said, "I am willing to lose the bet." ”
Young Master Su sat down, "Mother, if you don't let you go out of the house to play for two years, I'll go crazy." ”
Tang said, "Why didn't you think about it now when you made the bet?" ”
Young Master Su, "......." ”
Young Master Su hung his head in frustration.
Tang looked at him and said, "Your father won't detain you for two years and won't let you go out to play, but don't think about it this month." ”
Young Master Su breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, after a month, he will still be able to go out?
But how did he survive this month?
