The Saburo Banquet, which many people were looking forward to with different thoughts, finally arrived a few days later.

San Lang refers to Cheng Lanyuan, the champion of this year's imperial examination, Cao Ye on the list, and Lu Yin on the flower, all three of whom were born into famous families, handsome and chic, and graceful, which attracted countless hearts in Tianhao City.

Cao Ye is the son-in-law of Cao Shangshu, the current secretary of the household, so this year's San Lang banquet was grandly held in Cao's mansion as ordered by the emperor.

The San Lang Banquet is a grand banquet designated by the royal family and supervised by the prince, so all the officials in Tianhao City sharpened their heads and wanted to get an invitation to the San Lang Banquet, so as to have a glimpse of the style of San Lang, feel the royal feast, and also prepare for the important discussions of the next year.

As soon as the sky was bright, the mansions in all corners of the city were already dressed up and ready to ride the carriage to Cao's mansion.

Isn't it just early? A quarter of an hour late, the hordes of carriages could keep you waiting for an hour without getting into the house!

And Li Yuerong also came to Cao's Mansion early today, with anticipation, and Cao's eldest lady Cao Lan, that is, Cao Yue's sister, was sipping tea and eating snacks under the carved small building.

"Is Ah Yue's injury better?" Li Yuerong elegantly wiped her red lips with a silk handkerchief, and looked at Cao Lan with beautiful eyes, "Are you still making trouble every day these days?" ”

Cao Lan sighed, "With Ah Yue's temperament, can you not make trouble?" I've been hanging myself several times, and my mother is worried about her gray hair. ”

"Although Ah Yue is a little more ruthless and willful," Li Yuerong furrowed her eyebrows when she heard this, "but in the end, she is simple-minded, and the disciples of Ling Ze's class are inevitably too inconsiderate, and they actually caused Ah Yue to drop out of school, which is really uneasy in people's hearts." ”

"Isn't that it?" Speaking of this, Cao Lan couldn't help but be indignant, "The small fight between the disciples of the academy actually alarmed Lord Liu, if it wasn't for the father who personally came to the door to make amends, and Lord Liu sued the emperor, Ah Yue is afraid that it will be difficult to marry a good family in this life!" ”

The two of them exhaled at the same time, silent.

Although what Cao Yue did was wrong, but in the end, it was the daughter of Cao Fu's grandson, and the aunt of Liang Guifei, who didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, and couldn't do things without leaving a way out for people, right?

Don't you really think that their Cao Mansion is easy to bully?

"Ah Yue asked you to help you get angry, did you agree?" Cao Lan put down the teacup and asked softly.

Li Yuerong bowed, "Ah Yue is my cousin who has been close to me since I was a child, how can I not be unkind?" ”

Concubine Liang's ability to get to this day depends on Cao Shangshu's strong support, and whether Li Gu can have the opportunity to win the throne in the future is inseparable from the assistance of Cao Fu.

With such a small matter as Cao Yue, she would naturally help.

Cao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her with a smile, and added, "The eldest brother was so entangled by her that he couldn't help Ah Yue vent his anger today." ”

As time went by, more and more people came to Cao's mansion, and the maidservant came to inform the situation, Cao Lan stood up when she saw this, held Li Yuerong and said, "Let's go to the front first, and I'll tell you about it in detail." ”

Jiang Shuli and Zhou Jiaying were almost the last people to enter Cao's Mansion.

The two entered the house hand in hand, and Zhou Jiaying's big eyes were shiny, and she looked around, looking like she wanted to investigate and solve the case immediately.

Li Shiqing, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly walked over, took Zhou Jiaying's hand and warned in a low voice, "Jiaying, don't look around!" There are many hidden guards sent by the palace in Cao's mansion today, and if they are targeted, it will affect our plans. ”

Zhou Jiaying touched her nose, hurriedly lowered her head, and whispered, "Is my movement obvious?" I just want to see the terrain and act on it later. ”

Li Shiqing grabbed her, pinched her arm with her fingers and pinched it vigorously, but she was silent on the surface, still gentle and pleasant, "You are honest, don't run around." ”

Jiang Shuli couldn't help laughing, only Li Shiqing could suppress Zhou Jiaying, who was easy to escape, she was about to follow, but was pulled by someone, "Shuli, you are here." ”

It's Ouyang Cen.

Jiang Shuli smiled at Li Shiqing and Zhou Jiaying, and then followed Ouyang Cen to the entrance of the Weeping Flower Corridor, "Cousin, how long have you been here?" ”

"We also just arrived," Ouyang Cen smiled gently, his gaze wandering a little, "I came with my second brother, and he went over there to talk to someone." ”

Another striking feature of the Saburo Banquet is that the guests are mostly young and talented women from the boudoir court, and unlike the usual banquets, men usually gather in the outer courtyard and women enjoy in the inner courtyard.

At the Saburo Banquet, men and women can move together in the same area, and there are many traditional programs that do not distinguish between men and women, and everyone participates together.

That's the real point of everyone's yearning, isn't it?

I heard that every year because of the San Lang banquet, many good couples are born, and good stories are circulated, who doesn't want to be the protagonist?

Jiang Shuli nodded, and was about to speak, but was pulled over by Ouyang Cen to the side of the path, and only then did he stand still and raise his head, and saw the oncoming champion Lang Cheng Lanyuan.

"Brother Cheng." Jiang Shuli smiled and saluted, but in her heart she understood the reason why Cousin Cen pulled her all the way, didn't she see Cheng Lanyuan coming in this direction?

Glancing at Ouyang Cen, who was gradually flushed, Jiang Shuli grabbed her and took two steps forward, "Brother Cheng, this is my cousin Cen." ”

Ouyang Cen didn't expect Jiang Shuli to take the initiative to introduce her like this, she was both happy and shy, and lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Ouyang Cen saw Cheng Gongzi." ”

Cheng Lanyuan is a hearty character, because Zhou Jiaying and Jiang Shuli are friends, so Jiang Shuli is treated as a sister, the beautiful girl with Xia Fei's cheeks in front of him, he has an impression, "I have seen Miss Ouyang, the double-sided embroidery you gave to my grandmother last time, my grandmother likes it very much, and praises it from time to time." ”

Ouyang Cen's face was even hotter, and he tried to muster up the courage to raise his head to meet the handsome smile, his eyes were full of affection, "It's Cen Er's honor to be able to make the old lady like it." ”

Cheng Lanyuan stared at the bright eyes that wanted to speak, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he didn't speak for a while.

Jiang Shuli couldn't help but smile when she saw the two facing each other, "Brother Cheng has seen Cousin Cen's double-sided embroidery with his own eyes?" It was carefully embroidered by my cousin after half a year's effort. ”

Cheng Lanyuan was surprised and blurted out, "Embroidered for so long?" ”

"Isn't it like this," Jiang Shuli said as if she had something to do, "My cousin is very attentive." ”

"I see that the embroidery is really good-looking," Cheng Lanyuan sneered, "but I didn't expect it to take so much time, Miss Ouyang really has a heart." ”

"That's as it should be." Ouyang Cen was so dry that his back was sweating, and he was like a mosquito.

Cheng Lanyuan looked at Ouyang Cen, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly put a hand on his shoulder, "Zhuangyuanlang, why don't you come over and drink three glasses!" ”

Cheng Lanyuan was dragged away, turned around and made an apologetic gesture to Jiang Shuli and Ouyang Cen, and saw the two smiling, so he reluctantly followed and left.
