Chapter 113: Tea Banquet
The night was dark, and a house with a few lights still burning was not too bright.
On the contrary, it is a little chilly.
But in that study, it was as warm as spring.
On the big kang near the window, a middle-aged man sat leaning back, looking slightly sad, twisting a jade bead in his hand as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, the man sighed, "The palace is not over yet?" ”
The candle flame jumped, and someone knelt.
"Yes, the emperor is furious, and this time it is a bit big."
"Yes, the emperor even showed his backbone again!"
"Master, if this continues, the dark lines in the palace will be cleaned up, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"It's nothing." The man smiled: "Even if it's all cleaned up, what does it matter, as long as you don't have it, it's enough?" ”
These words made the hearts of the black-clothed people who had to kneel on the ground warm, "Master rest assured, his subordinates will definitely live up to expectations." ”
"Get up, I've always been reassured of you."
"Yes......"
The man stretched out his legs, and his hands kept moving, "Speaking of which, that kid from the Han family has some skills with King Jin, and he can track it down to this point." ”
"Master, as far as I know at this time, it is not their master, but the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, and they also went to Xiangguo Temple to check the silver gourd bracelet."
"Oh? The children of Jiang Yunting's family? ”
"Yes!"
The man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's really a hero out of a teenager." ”
Unable to hear what this meant, the man in black didn't dare to talk casually, so he had to stand silently.
"Keep an eye on the actions in the palace, and if necessary, you will clean up yourself, and you must not let people find out here."
"Subordinates obey!"
"Hmmm......"
"That'...... Second Miss, do you want to make another arrangement? ”
"No need, if you don't have any ability, what's the use of keeping it?" The man turned his face to look at him.
It's obviously with a smile, but it makes people shudder.
The black man immediately bowed his head, "Yes, master." ”
……
On the day of the tea banquet, the five rooms of the Jiang family were properly arranged under the control of Xiuchen and Shu'er.
Invited girls came one after another, adding a lot of color to the originally slightly single yard.
Some of the girls who came together exchanged gifts one after another, and sat down in the banquet hall under the arrangement of the host's family.
There are not many people who come, and they are all from famous families, even if they are not familiar with each other on weekdays, they all recognize them.
This is true for others, but it is different for Jiang Shu'er.
Everyone knows that she is arrogant and domineering, and she is not easy to get along with, and it is strange to suddenly give them a post at this time.
One of them whispered to the people around him with trepidation: "So suddenly, could it be some conspiracy?" ”
"It's unlikely, but the purpose is certain, so let's see!"
"We haven't offended her in our lives, have we?"
"It should ...... Didn't you? ”
"I hope so."
Lin Youwei, who was sitting not far away, listened to their words in full, not only laughing.
It seems that this Shu'er's "prestige" is really extraordinary!
Soon, the main lord came, Jiang Shuer and Jiang Xiuchen came to the upper seat and sat down, and the former's eyes swept over everyone.
Everywhere the line of sight passed, their bodies tensed.
"Why are you so nervous?" She suddenly laughed, "It's just to invite my sisters to have a cup of tea, so there's no need to be so vigilant, besides, even if I want to do something, I won't be in my own house, right?" ”
Sure enough, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Jiang Shu'er was smiling, but she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, it turned out that her popularity was so bad!
However, when she came into contact with the eyes of Lin Liu and a few acquaintances, she felt a little comforted.
I really want to know what the expressions of these people would have been like if they really did something.
"Shu'er, don't be naughty." Jiang Xiuchen couldn't help but remind Shu'er when he saw Shu'er, whose eyes were restless and wandering.
Jiang Shu'er pouted, "Okay, I'm just thinking about it." ”
As he spoke, he instructed the maid who knew how to make tea in the house to come forward and fiddle with the tea utensils.
For a while, the tea in the hall was overflowing, the maid's cloud sleeves were slightly swaying, and the plain hands were flipped, and the cups of fragrant tea were brewed.
and gave it to the people, and then he knelt down again.
"This is my father's collection of 'snow between the eyebrows', which is a treasure in tea, and even the annual tribute in the palace is only half a catty."
"Is it Meishan's precious snow tea?"
"Yes, my father has always been good friends with the lord of Meishan, so he also got some. I begged for several days to get this tea today, how do you sisters? ”
"Okay, the 'snow between the eyebrows' is naturally excellent, if this is not good, there is no good." Cao Huanting, a girl from the Cao family, slapped her hands and said.
Jiang Shu'er looked at her with a smile.
Immediately afterward, more and more people chimed in.
Jiang Xiuchen watched his sister cope with it with ease, and felt very relieved in his heart.
It seems that she has finally grown up, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Fifth sister, Shu'er, you taught you this?" Jiang Yongqing leaned over and asked.
To be honest, this is the first time she has seen such a Jiang Shu'er, and she has no patience in the past, but has become one with these daughters of the family.
Jiang Xiuchen didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head.
The crowd that had already gathered together was laughing, and they had long lost their initial vigilance and scruples, and they all laughed.
Jiang Shu'er looked at a woman who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, "...... Sister's bracelet looks really chic, I remember seeing a silver bracelet before, with a gourd on it, it looks very delicate and cute! ”
"Is this it?" The woman said, "This is what my mother ordered to be beaten on my last birthday, and if you like it, I will have another pair for you when you come back." ”
"It's not necessary, I like it, I can't wear these jewelry."
"That's a shame."
Jiang Shu'er smiled, "My sister looks good when she wears it, I think it's good for my sister to wear it, but if you wear it with the gourd bracelet that Fang just said, it's also good." ”
"Gourd bracelet?" The girl asked, "What is it?" ”
"It's that there are nine silver gourds on it, and I think I've seen them in someone's hand before." Jiang Shu'er said as if thinking.
Her gaze swept secretly at everyone.
"I seem to have one of the silver gourds," someone replied, "but the gourd is also engraved with Sanskrit?" ”
"yes, that's it." Jiang Shu'er's eyes lit up, "I saw it on you, but unfortunately I didn't remember it clearly at the time." ”
The girl laughed and said, "I don't necessarily see it here, I heard that there are nine bracelets, and as far as I know, there are three people here who have them." ”
"Well, are your bracelets still there? Can you show it to me? I've heard that the Sanskrit characters on the gourds are different, and it's amazing to be able to engrave words on such small things! ”
"What's so difficult about this, I'll send someone back to the house to fetch it for you to see." The girl said, and really called her maid over.
Seeing this, Jiang Shu'er also looked at the others, "Is there any other sister who has it?" It's a coincidence today, I don't know if I can get together nine of them! ”
