This "blind date banquet" seems to be harmonious.

The queen sat on the top and looked at the head, and everyone smiled slightly: "In the past, the girls of various families have also seen it in the palace, and it has only been about half a year, and the girls are almost unrecognizable." ”

The first courtier's wife hurriedly smiled and agreed: "No, this is only half a year in the blink of an eye, and the children are all older." ”

"yes, yes......"

The queen smiled and greeted everyone with a smile, turned to look at Bo Yan and said: "This small banquet is also what Jingyang only thought of when I mentioned it, saying that this palace has been in the palace for a long time, and I have never gathered with everyone, so don't be restrained today, and have fun together." ”

Everyone leaned over and responded, and the palace people rushed in, and the small banquet officially began.

The ladies looked at the eyes of the head, at first they also put on a gentle and humble appearance, after a long time, seeing that the queen did not restrain them, they all let go, and they were no longer so cautious and cautious in their words, Bo Yan sat among them and talked about homely things, and the ladies made calculations in their hearts while talking: since this time it was for marriage, I think the queen sent Princess Jingyang to sit here to check the conversation and behavior of herself and others, and after thinking about this, everyone worked harder and harder to enliven the atmosphere, wanting to get Bo Yan's favor.

Bo Yan took a sip of tea, looked at the situation around him, smiled slightly, and felt that it was almost.

"The hairpin on Sister Su's head is so strange, I haven't seen it before." Bo Yan said casually.

That Su is the youngest daughter of Lord Wuwen, seeing that the princess took the initiative to talk to herself, she was quite proud, and hurriedly smiled: "This style was personally designed by Mr. Wenwen, a craftsman in Suzhou, some time ago on my birthday, my brother found it to give me, and my name was engraved with a small seal." As he spoke, he handed it to Bo Yan so as not to pull out the golden hairpin.

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows and took the hairpin, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad." "I secretly calculated in my heart that the workmanship of this object would cost at least 1,000 taels of silver, and the Su family was really willing to do it!

The Su family became more and more proud after receiving Bo Yan's praise, and said: "If you want to talk about the kung fu of making hairpins, you still have to count the Suzhou and Hangzhou sides, and all the beautiful styles come from there." ”

"That's not necessarily," the second daughter of the Lu family, who was standing on the side, pouted and said: "Although there is something fresh in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is just a freshness, and you won't be able to wear it in two years. ”

When everyone heard this, they quietly shrunk their necks and shook their heads secretly: Here we go again.

It turns out that the Su family and the Lu family have never been harmonious, both of them are famous and noble women, and their temperaments are very arrogant, but the aesthetics and ways of doing things are not the same, so every time they meet, they always have to compete for a high level, and no one can persuade them.

Bo Yan's eyes rolled between the two of them, but he didn't speak.

Su Shi was used to seeing Lu's appearance, and immediately replied without showing weakness: "Aren't these clothes and jewelry just fresh, is it possible that a piece of clothing and jewelry will be worn for more than ten or twenty years?" Stay and make heirlooms? After all, it was everyone's door, and it didn't make people laugh at it. ”

Lu Shi smiled coldly: "I just said that the hairpin ring style can't be on the table, you just said a bunch of words, did you really not understand what I said?" ”

Su Shi was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Lu Shi was really sarcastic at the beginning that the jewelry he was wearing was not on the table like himself, and he took out everything to show off, and immediately turned pale, bit his lower lip and said angrily: "You are knowledgeable!" To put it bluntly, aren't you jealous that I have a good brother, and I have the ability to let your stepmother's brother find you some good things! ”

Lu Shi's face also changed: "Who are you talking about!" ”

Su Shi shrugged: "Whoever knows in their hearts, has the ability to come up with something, don't envy other people's good things, just say some sour things." ”

Lu Shi gritted his teeth, tore off the gold wire collar around his neck and sneered: "You are afraid that you have never seen this stack of gold craftsmanship, no wonder you only have gold and silver styles in your eyes and can't tell what is precious, your Su family is a mason, how do you know what is called a family noble?" said that you couldn't get on the stage and wronged you? ”

……

The two of them quarreled when they saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, sighing in their hearts, these two people are both artillery fighters, just one point, and the quarrel is not divided into occasions, the queen mother and the princess are still sitting on it.

The queen, who was chatting happily with the courtiers over there, was also attracted by the sound of the quarrel, and looked over here: "What's going on over there?" ”

The palace people were ordered to retreat to investigate, but after a while, they came back again and reported the situation there truthfully, and repeated the words of the Lu family and the Su family word for word.

The queen was just silent, and the mothers of the Lu family and the Su family became whiter and whiter the more they listened, and they knelt in front of the queen in shock.

At the same time, Bo Yan came to the queen's side with a small group of female dependents.

"Miss Su and Miss Lu were angry, but they had a few words, but their daughter was incompetent, so they didn't stop them." Bo Yan said without being salty.

A few women who were just present subconsciously raised their eyebrows: Oh, you have to speak according to your conscience, did you stop it......

Su and Lu knelt down, and they didn't dare to come out, only then did they think of reviewing their own mistakes, and just now under Bo Yan's proposal, they often lost their sense of proportion, and they forgot where they were for a while, and they quarreled like this.

The queen smacked her tongue, swept her eyes over everyone, and said slowly: "Quarrel if you quarrel, children, this is common." ”

Su Lu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they listened to the queen continue: "But the Su and Lu families are big families, how do they teach their daughters on weekdays, and the quarrel actually tells people about each other's net worth and life experience, which kind of family is this." ”

Su Lu's heart, which had just been put down, jerked up again.

"The queen mother forgives her sins, but the courtiers forgot to do it for a while and said the wrong thing." Su Shi reacted quickly and hurriedly kowtowed.

Seeing this, Lu Shi also drew a gourd and apologized.

The two ladies of Sulu also hurriedly admitted their mistakes and said something such as "the goddaughter is not strict, and she will be strictly disciplined".

Bo Yan gave the queen a look, and the queen squinted, raised her hand to support her forehead, and made a headache.

Bo Yan hurriedly said: "The queen mother has a headache, hey, I saw that the queen mother had too many things to worry about recently, so I proposed to hold this small banquet to be lively, but I didn't expect it to happen, it's all mine." ”

The two ladies of Sulu were discerning, and said busily: "How can this make the princess not, in the final analysis, it is the concubine who has no way to teach the daughter, and provoked such a thing, which ruined the interest of the queen mother and everyone." ”

"Yes, yes, there is no way for a concubine to teach a daughter."

Bo Yan didn't pay attention to the two, and only continued: "Mother has been thinking too much lately, and she must be worried about being a son of man. ”

The two ladies of Sulu were stunned for a moment, and read Bo Yan's words...... This doesn't seem to have anything to do with what the two of them just said, but since Bo Yan has mentioned twice that the queen is "too worried", then......

"The queen's daughter is a jade body, I don't know why she is worried, can she be useful to the place where the concubine is located?"

When the queen heard this, she slowly opened her eyes and sighed: "The emperor has not had a good rest for a long time in recent days because of the border war, and the palace is in charge of the harem, but he can't share the emperor's worries......"

babbled a lot of words, all in all, they were all distressed by the emperor's words, the more the two ladies Su Lu listened, the more cold they became, and they became less flustered, and the others seemed to realize this: The reason why the queen brought everyone here today does not seem to be for the so-called "marriage".

Later, the palace gate opened again, and the carriages of the various prefectures waited at the palace gate early, and the ladies got into the carriage one by one, but there was no joy on their faces......

In the evening

Lord Su returned to the mansion after the party, and met Mrs. Su and the others entering the mansion.

Mrs. Su was obviously in a bad mood, she didn't even go back to the room directly, Mrs. Su also looked gloomy, Lord Su was in a good mood after today's entertainment, and didn't care about this, went back to the room and took off her shirt and wine and woke up a little, and continued while cleaning her hands: "What's the matter?" Didn't work out? Look at your faces. I didn't hear Mrs. Su's answer, turned around and realized that something was wrong with Su, looked at her twice, and said while cleaning her hands: "You seem to have been robbed by a trip to the palace this time?" In the morning, you wore your pearl head very neatly. ”

Mrs. Su smiled coldly: "Heh, isn't it just a thief!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a pair of jade bracelets that he had worn on his wrist were gone: "It's a robber at all!" ”

The more Mrs. Su thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and she almost cried out in distress, how could the objects brought into the palace be sloppy, they were all good things, and now they are all filled with the treasury!

Only then did Lord Su realize that something was wrong, and sat down next to Mrs. Su: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mrs. Su tried her best to suppress her anger and said what happened in the palace today, and said: "The princess has always said that the queen is too worried, and those of us who have made mistakes naturally want to solve the queen's worries, and the queen said that the treasury is empty, and the harem has been reduced, so the princess proposed that the female relatives present donate some money and materials, which can be regarded as the children of the deep boudoir to serve the country, our daughter has just made a mistake in the palace, how dare she say no!" The princess and the queen just sang and snatched the things away! ”

Lord Su's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't expect the queen and Bo Yan to do such a brazen thing: "Then you don't have to be so realistic...... Nothing left? ”

Mrs. Su sneered: "Not left? How dare you leave it! The queen and princess took off all the jewelry on their bodies in front of everyone, can we not follow? The princess also openly and secretly mentioned how valuable the jewelry worn by the female family today is, is this clearly a threat! If anyone is reluctant, they will inevitably have to check it in the future, and they are also officials in the court, how can they have such a rich family background, and it will not be a matter of one or two pieces of jewelry at that time. ”

"This ...... Isn't this just a robbery! Lord Su was shocked.

"Isn't it just a robbery!" The more Mrs. Su spoke, the more aggrieved she became: "It's still the kind we have to send willingly!" ”
