112 Priceless Treasures (and Updates.)
Because there are male guests at today's banquet, and they are businessmen and commoners, they are not as good as the noble ministers at the banquet in the palace, so the male and female guests are separately present, and there are more gauze curtains in front of the female guests.
Even if she called her a countryman before seeing Hui Li, even if she looked down on her from the mountains in her heart, she was all courteous and polite, like an old acquaintance who had known each other for many years. A few people who had met her in the palace thought they were closer than others, and greeted Hui Li with warmth, making her feel uncomfortable.
Zhuo Xi returned to Xiangtai's side, and saw that the four princes looked focused, and they couldn't wait to nail it to Huili's body through the gauze curtain, and even the thoughts of the four highnesses, Zhuo Xi persuaded him: "Your Highness, haven't you calmed down yet?" ”
At the end of the day, Xiangtai said to let him calm down, he did spend a lot of time to calm down, but if it worked, how could he stare at Huili at the moment, but he realized that his gaffe would bring trouble to Huili, and he had already retracted his gaze and objected to Zhuo Xi and said: "If I have a gaffe, Zhuo Xi, you must remind me." ”
At this time, there was a bustle outside the door, saying that Princess Jinzhu and the second miss of the Han family arrived, except for Xiangtai and Jinzhu on an equal footing, everyone was under the princess, and Xiangtai has always been polite to his sister, so he went out with the county lord, and the people of Wu Yang bowed down outside the door to salute the princess, Jinzhu liked to see such a scene very much, her eyes swept over every face faintly, and suddenly fixed on Zhuo Xi's body, her heart throbbed, and she turned to Han Yue Roubi's eyes: "See?" ”
Of course I saw it, but this was not the person Han Yuerou wanted to see, Liang Dingshan was not in Chiba or there, they were sleeping sweetly and flying together, and they were at ease far away from the capital. Han Yuerou really didn't want to come to this party, preferring to hide in the palace alone and fantasize about the future of her and Liang Dingshan.
"Sister Huang, please take a seat." The county lord led the way for Jinzhu and took her to the tallest and most gorgeous seat behind the gauze curtain, knowing that Jinzhu has always attached importance to the dignity of status, the county lord deliberately made this arrangement, but before walking through the gauze curtain, Jinzhu asked, "What is this thing doing in the way, you invite all the famous businessmen to raise funds, and you have to guard against others?" It's hard to set up a banquet in the palace, and you can learn like this, which time is not everyone gathered together to have a good time, in the face of the catastrophe, what kind of etiquette and religious rules are placed, and quickly withdraw. ”
Jinzhu's meaning is very clear, she sat behind the curtain, but she couldn't see Zhuo Xi, it was rare that there was a man in this world who she could look at, just looking at it was half satisfied, if it was through the curtain, every face looked the same eyes and nose, what else did she come to do?
So someone came forward and removed the curtain, and there was no obstruction for a while, and those young ladies and noble ladies were a little embarrassed, except for a few who came with their husbands and took the initiative to return to their husbands, the others were very restrained with red faces.
But seeing Hui Li get up and not greet the people next to him, he floated from the seat, arrived next to Zhuo Xi and Xiangtai, and said to Zhuo Xi: "Brother, I'll sit next to you, I'll see the excitement, don't you complain?" ”
Zhuo Xi said angrily: "Since you know that you are afraid, you still want to come, Erniang must have been hidden by you, isn't it?" ”
Huili has been spoiled since she was a child, Zhuo Xi is like a brother, she smiled coquettishly: "What's the matter, let's go home and talk about these things." She was a little excited, and after sitting down, she nodded to the fourth prince, then took out a thick stack of silver tickets from her sleeve cage and showed it to Zhuo Xi, and whispered, "I brought a lot of silver." ”
Zhuo Xi asked uneasily, "What are you going to do?" ”
Hui Li said unconvinced: "Raising funds, who told Liang Dingshan not to take me to help the victims, he didn't take me there, what do you say I won't do kung fu to walk slowly and drag him back, dare to love Chiba will do kung fu?" Liang Dingshan is becoming more and more unreliable now, this kind of thing can be said, he won't let me go to disaster relief, I will donate here, anyway, I don't spend his money. ”
Zhuo Xi looked around, frowned and reproached: "Don't mess around, don't hear it, give me the silver ticket, and I'll send you back later, otherwise think about what to do when your brother comes back." ”
Hui Li's gaze crossed Zhuo Xi, and saw the four princes beside him, who were looking at him in a friendly manner, and Hui Li, who had no idea about the love of the children in his eyes, had an idea, and asked Xiangtai: "Your Royal Highness, if I have something I like to buy in a while, can you take a look at it for me?" I'm a man from the mountains, and I've never seen the world. ”
Xiangtai saw that Hui Li took the initiative to speak, and was already overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Willing to serve Miss Liang, I think gold and silver jewelry, such vulgar things, Miss Liang must not like it, but I just saw a few calligraphy and paintings, it is worth it." ”
Hui Li nodded again and again: "Then please ask the Fourth Highness." She turned to Zhuo Xi again and deliberately said, "Brother, can you help me take a look too?" ”
Zhuo Xi smiled faintly, slapped the folding fan in his hand twice in his palm, as if a silent threat, and only nodded silently. Hui Li bit her red lip lightly, in fact, she thought about it when she came, sooner or later her brother would know, and she would be scolded, but she didn't expect to meet Zhuo Xi. But since I met, it was better than her being alone, and when the time came, I had something to say to argue for myself, although Brother Zhuo Xi even coaxed and threatened her to settle down, Hui Li became more and more open, and her eyes rolled, and she actually got up and left the table again, turned to the side of the fourth prince, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, let's sit together, it's more convenient to discuss, isn't it?" ”
Xiangtai nodded again and again: "I will do my best." ”
Zhuo Xi coughed a few times, Hui Li ignored him, he was worried and helpless, where did he really care that Hui Li was greedy for playing nonsense, she just demolished this palace, Zhuo Xi can also take it for her, but it is the fourth prince, does this stupid girl know that she is messing with other people's minds?
The banquet soon began, starting from the hairpin bracelets donated by the county lord and the princess, one by one for people to appreciate and bid, all of them were people with heads and faces, and those rich businessmen were also very discerning people, today's party was just a show, they didn't care how much the bidding thing itself was worth, and the human affection behind the thing was to be measured with real money.
But Hui Li's side is very serious to participate in the fundraising, the whole coral she brought is a priceless thing, but no one gave face to the Shenshan Hou Mansion, after the starting price of 10,000 taels of silver, a few people competed, hovering at 11,000 taels and no one responded, Xiangtai saw Hui Li's face was angry, and he hurriedly reported 20,000 taels of silver, and accepted the things Hui Li brought.
Jinzhu sat on the side and ate the grapes peeled by the palace maid, and when she ate a mouthful of sour, she blamed the palace maid for not choosing it well, spit the grape seeds on her face, and asked her to roll. Seeing Jinzhu like this, Han Yuerou really felt embarrassed, and kindly stepped forward to persuade her: "Cousin, outsiders are watching, if you go back to make up something in front of your aunt, why should we make ourselves unhappy?" ”
Jinzhu naturally knows how to write noble and elegant words, and she has been very strict since she was a child, but in recent years, she has become more and more "free and easy" and casual, anyway, no matter how bad she is, no one will say that she is not, and she can't restrain herself. She glared at Han Yuerou faintly: "What's the matter, you think I'm embarrassed?" ”
Han Yuerou sneered in her heart, and said with a kind face: "Sister Huang, Gongzi Zhuo is here." ”
Jinzhu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly looked towards Zhuo Xi, but happened to see Liang Huili next to Xiangtai standing up, her cherry blossom color was hazy, and her face was more beautiful than flowers, like a fairy who came out of a dream. But before Jinzhu could take a second look at the beauty of this little girl, Hui Li was shocked, and she angrily accused: "Is this silver hairpin dug up from the ancient tomb five hundred years ago, fifty thousand taels?" I will pay 500,000 taels, do you dare to sell it? ”
The whole coral was despised, and at this time, a broken silver hairpin actually won 50,000 taels, and Miss Liang, who was full of justice, was not convinced, in fact, she also understood the truth here, and she understood that she must not cause trouble to the family, and it was all rules and regulations to enter the palace with Chiba before, but today I don't know what happened, and she actually rushed out and blamed it in public.
Hui Li said that she was also stupid, and secretly thought "Oh no".
"The little girl has a lot of tone." Zhuo Xi got up to relieve the siege, the folding fan gently knocked on Hui Li's head, and hugged his fist to everyone, "The sister is young and ignorant, please bear with me, this hairpin must be a priceless treasure, and how can it be measured by 500,000, and please continue, don't be disturbed by the ignorant little girl." ”
He bowed to everyone, and then quietly left the table with Hui Li, and Jinzhu on the seat saw Zhuo Xi's demeanor, and he was even more obsessed, and pulled Han Yuerou beside him and said: "You go and take a look, see if he can't come back, I'll move the crowd as soon as I walk away here, if he doesn't come back, you can tell me immediately." ”
Outside the door, Hui Li was being trained with her head down, and Zhuo Xi was inconvenient to teach her outside, so she only reasoned: "They have their rules, since they are here, they should understand this truth, and they are not allowed to mess around anymore." After a while, you really like it, my brother took a picture for you, and you are not allowed to bid again, which girl here is like this. ”
Hui Li muttered in her mouth, she was not convinced and didn't dare to talk back, she followed Zhuo Xi back to the banquet in a gloomy way, and met Han Yuerou coming to them, but Han Yuerou was not good at revealing her purpose, she only pretended to be a chance encounter, nodded and smiled, and passed by, she kept watching Zhuo Xi and Hui Li walk over, and was suddenly attracted by a gaze.
"Fourth Highness?" Han Yuerou inadvertently caught Xiangtai's gaze, and the affectionate style that looked at Huili couldn't be clearer. Although the four princes also restrained themselves, they couldn't hide their joy when they saw Liang Huili go back.
"Really?" Han Yuerou felt as if she had seen the secret of the Four Princes, but she didn't know that His Royal Highness was affectionate, so Miss Liang was interested?
