Chapter 8: The Flower Banquet (1)

Liu Chang walked over refreshed, and saw Peony and Yu'er standing under the corridor from a distance, uneven in height, Yan Thin and Fat, each with its own merits, it was really eye-catching, and he couldn't help but feel good, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yu'er's eyes were sharp, and she was the first to see Liu Chang, seeing that he was wearing a jade crown today, wearing a scarlet round-necked gauze robe, stepping on green silk cloud shoes, and hanging a silver sachet with flower and bird patterns and a jade silk silk around his waist, it seemed that the jade tree was in the wind, handsome, and couldn't help but be full of admiration, and curtsy and saluted: "The concubine has seen the son." Seeing that Peony was still in a daze, she hurriedly gently pulled the sleeve of her robe, and Peony woke up like a dream, and saluted Liu Chang mumudi: "Husband Wanfu." ”

Liu Chang waved his hand at Yu'er absentmindedly, looked at Peony and said lightly: "It's not a shame for me to look like this today." ”

Peony Mu looked at the floor tiles in a daze. Dregs! Dregs!

Yu'er's eyes went back and forth on the two of them, thoughtfully, and took Jiao Niang over and said with a smile: "Jiao Niang, please say hello to Daddy." ”

Jiao Niang didn't speak well, hanging on Yu'er's neck with sleepy eyes, frowning and looking at Liu Chang with a pout, with a look of grievance, just not to call people.

Liu Chang didn't like it in his heart, and walked through the venue to poke Jiao Niang's face: "This crying look, I don't know who to learn from, early in the morning, I will be bad luck when I look at it." As he spoke, he glanced at the peony, but the peony was gone.

Yu'er was so sad that she hugged her mother tightly in distress.

Mrs. Qi's voice sounded in the curtain: "Come in." ”

When Mrs. Qi saw the peony's dress, her eyes lit up, and she smiled: "That's right, this is what my Liu family's daughter-in-law should look like!" He looked back at Liu Chang and said, "Zishu, I just told Danniang yesterday that in a few days, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at her, prescribe a prescription to regulate her body, and quickly give birth to a grandson for me." ”

Liu Chang let out a faint "um" when he heard this, but he didn't say it was good, and he didn't say it was bad. But Mrs. Qi knew that his attitude was equivalent to agreeing, and she couldn't help but feel good, "Husband and wife are united in their interests, Danniang is the first time to hold such a banquet, Zishu, you have to protect her, if she doesn't understand, you can teach her well, don't make her angry again." ”

Liu Chang said "um" again, and absentmindedly touched Qi'er's head on the knee.

Biwu, who had been listening under the curtain for a long time, lifted the curtain and walked in, put the food box on the table with a smile, greeted everyone, and said, "Is Madame eating at the moment?" ”

Mrs. Qi glanced at her coldly: "Why didn't you do what I said yesterday?" ”

Bi Wu was taken aback, thinking that Peony had sued her, she glared at Peony resentfully, and squatted down to salute aggrievedly: "The concubine went to the young lady first, but it was late when she saw that the young lady had not yet freshened up." The concubine was afraid that she would not be able to serve her wife, so she gave the young lady and rushed over to serve her first. ”

She sounds exquisite, it's late, but the peony hasn't been freshened yet, and she is not afraid of not being able to serve Mrs. Qi, so she is obviously deliberately neglecting. Mrs. Qi sneered: "Clever words! According to the rules, you should serve your young lady to freshen up, I have someone to serve here, why do you want to do a lot of things? You can't even do what you do, and you dare to do more things without permission? I think you are bullying the young lady for being kind, and you don't take her seriously! ”

Biwu wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, and while looking at Liu Chang, she said: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore." ”

Liu Chang just looked at the tea bowl in his hand, and did not say anything to intercede for her as usual.

Peony coughed low and said with a smile: "Mother Mo is angry, it's not a big deal, the daughter-in-law did agree to Biwu to come first." ”

Mrs. Qi sighed: "That's it, since your young lady intercedes for you, I have to give your young lady face." But you don't know the rules for a long time, so today I will punish you from attending the banquet and learn the rules by my side! ”

"Huh?" Biwu never imagined that it would be such an ending, thinking that in order to participate in this banquet and give the peony a good look, he got up and dressed up carefully before the fifth watch, but now he has such an end, he can't wait to cry for a while, and his eyes are even more sad when he looks at the peony. This cunning and vicious woman, this is afraid that she will steal her limelight at the banquet, knowing that Mrs. Qi is unique, and deliberately set this trap for herself to jump, but she hated herself for being blinded by lard at that time, how did she fall for this thief!

Looking at Yu'er again, the corners of Yu'er's mouth turned up, and her face was gloating. Biwu was so aggrieved that she hated the peony for a moment.

Peony received Biwu's vicious gaze, a little inexplicable. Supposedly you're interesting enough, right? I have never beaten or scolded anyone, I have calculated anyone, all I want is the word stability. She didn't want to serve herself, she was busy trying to please Mrs. Qi, so she let her go, she was not clever herself, and she was angry with herself after eating Mrs. Qi's hanging? How can there be such a reason, and glared back unceremoniously at the moment.

Liu Chang happened to see it, and snorted coldly, secretly thinking that the original peony's indifferent wood was all pretended, and he was still jealous and eventful in his heart, and this trick was called wanting to catch the old man. Since she likes to pretend, she pretends, and in the end, she doesn't have to beg herself!

After Mrs. Qi dealt with Biwu, she left Peony to have breakfast with Liu Chang, Peony thought about the people and things she was going to see later, and she couldn't swallow it, and Liu Chang didn't know what she was thinking, so she seemed absent-minded. Seeing this, Mrs. Qi drove people away dissatisfied: "Let's go, let's go, go and get busy with you." ”

Peony didn't want to wait here for a moment, and immediately got up to say goodbye. Mrs. Qi stopped Liu Chang: "Zishu, I have something to say to you." ”

Peony didn't care about him, and took Yu'er's hand affectionately and walked out: "I haven't participated in such a banquet for a long time, I'm a little scared, I just want to watch the excitement on the sidelines, how hard you have to work." ”

In the past, Biwu was in the limelight, but I didn't expect that now I also have this opportunity. Yu'er saw Biwu crying with a pink face under the curtain, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and thought of Mrs. Qi and Liu Chang's attitude towards peony, but she was afraid that the young lady was going to turn over. The banquet is brilliant, the young lady is happy, and the prince will also be happy, and he must seize the opportunity not to disappoint the young lady and the son. At that moment, he was on the heart of twelve points, and Peony told the arrangement of today's banquet in detail: "The guests will come one after another when they are about to be right, which is nothing more than to enjoy flowers and poems, watch songs and dances, watch hundreds of operas, and garden banquets, and then fight flowers and grass, play with barleys, how happy and how to come, and there is nothing surprising." ”

Peony said: "Who are the people here?" ”

Yu'er smiled: "This is simple, let people ask Xi Xia for a list to know." As he spoke, he raised his hand and called the personal maid Green Waist over: "You go and ask Xixia for a list of today's guests, and say that the young lady wants to see it." ”

The green waist led the order to leave, and Yu'er said again: "It's still early, should the young lady go back to the room to rest first?" The concubine saw that you didn't use much breakfast just now, so you just went back and used a little. ”

Peony smiled: "It's okay." The two of them went back to the peony's yard with a smile, and Mother Lin saw that the two of them were suddenly so affectionate after only half a day's work, and she was slightly surprised, and her face was not obvious, so she came up and smiled: "The young lady can have breakfast?" ”

Peony said: "Put it on." He also invited Yu'er to have breakfast with her: "There are no outsiders here, you can use it with me, so you don't have to go back to the room to eat later, which delays the time." ”

Yu'er excused herself and ate while standing.

As soon as the dishes were removed, Green Waist took the list and gave it to Peony with both hands. Peony saw the names of two people at first sight, one was Liu Chang's old lover, the newly widowed Qinghua county lord a few years ago, and the other was He Peony's cousin, Li Jing.

The others were not interested, so they casually threw the list on the table and walked down the porch to shake it. Mother Lin brought Mother Li and Lanzhi, who were assigned by Mrs. Qi, to kowtow to the peony.

Seeing this, Yu'er retreated with a very good look, saying that she would come over later to serve the peony and go to the garden together.

Peony sighed, glanced at Li's mother and Laneige casually, and said, "I don't have any rules here, the important thing is these pots of flowers, don't touch them." ”

Mother Li and Lanzhi both laughed: "Young lady, don't worry." ”

Peony nodded, leaving them alone. I went back to the room and took a few paper bags that I pasted, and while the sun was still not big, I walked to the side of a few peonies that were about to bloom, picked up the largest and strongest buds, carefully removed the petals, leaving only the stamens and pistils to self-pollinate and reproduce, and then put the paper bag tightly, and told Kuan'er Shu'er to pay more attention.

They were no longer surprised by her behavior, but Mother Li and Lanzhi were distressed and disapproving. What distressing is such a peony, if it is in full bloom, if it is sold outside, it is worth hundreds of dollars, but the young lady is good, spicy hands destroy flowers, destroy a few at a time, it is really a tyrannical thing.

I don't think so, but I think this is the peony to give them a dismount, is it to warn her two to be careful, otherwise the end will be like this peony flower? Before they came, they were all advised by their ladies, so they were not afraid of this sick, soft and unpleasant young lady. So as soon as these two people saw each other, they became resistant to the peony.

Peony didn't know what they were thinking, and only remembered what they had to do. I inspected it all around, and secretly thought that although the color and flower shape of these pots of peonies were not good, it would be enough to breed these varieties in the first two years, and as for other hybrid varieties, it was not an overnight effort, and I couldn't be in a hurry.

After inspecting the small garden, Peony beckoned Yuhe to come over: "Later, Li Gongzi will also come, you can go and tell him that I have something to discuss with him, and I told him to find an opportunity to meet me." When the time comes, you will want to lure Mother Lin away. ”

Yuhe's eyes rolled a few times, and he smiled: "Hmm, my cousin is a good candidate." ”

Peony pinched her cheek and bared her teeth: "What nonsense!" I'm on business. ”
