Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Unbearable Taste
Lu Jiayue hurriedly stood up and saluted Ding Can.
Ding Can ignored Ding Yu and smiled at Lu Jiayue: "It's lively today, why is the niece of the Lu family here?" ”
This can stop Lu Jiayue.
This spring banquet is obviously set up to facilitate the marriage between the prince and the eunuch, no matter how she answers, it will inevitably be misunderstood by Ding Can that she is here for her own marriage.
But he was an elder, and even if he asked, she couldn't refuse to answer.
So he smiled and said, "... I'm just going to see what happens. ”
But in my heart I was secretly annoyed.
Let him misunderstand, can't you tell him that he came to see King Jin?
Ding Can heard this, but only smiled faintly and sat aside.
Ding Yu tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile: "Second uncle, you haven't answered me yet, you didn't say you couldn't come, why did you come again?" ”
"Didn't your mother ask me to come?" After a while, Ding Can spoke, and his tone seemed to be a little irritable.
"Angry? Second uncle, are you angry? Ding Yu seemed to be very surprised, and asked Ding Can vigorously.
Thinking of Ding Can's appearance like a spring breeze in the past, Lu Jiayue couldn't help but be curious--- I don't know what he would look like when he got angry?
So he quietly set his eyes on Ding Can.
Presumably, because he entered the palace today, he was dressed a little more solemnly than usual. Wearing a red gold feather crown on his head, wearing a royal blue satin silk flat gold embroidered python robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and soap boots on his feet, his posture is straight, his shoulders and back are broad, and his whole body is full of majesty.
The eyebrows are still warm and elegant, but compared with what they have seen in the past, there is a faint and a faint look of amazement.
It doesn't look like I'm angry... At best, it's just a little unhappy.
Lu Jiayue secretly scolded herself, but her eyes still fell on Ding Can's face, Ding Can seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his face sideways, facing Lu Jiayue's eyes.
His eyes burned, and he looked into her eyes for a moment, and saw that she was somehow panicked, her face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
It was only a breath, but it raised its head and looked at him.
The gaze seemed to ask him, why did he look at her like this?
He smiled suddenly, his eyebrows stretched, and his eyes were instantly gentle.
Her face turned redder in surprise, and she lowered her head again.
Between this coming and going, a cat's paw came out of nowhere, gently scratching Ding Can's heart, and there was an itchy and unbearable taste, which flashed away.
Ding Can's eyes narrowed.
The little girl came with makeup today.
Not only is the clothes bright, but the little face that was originally white like congealed fat also has a thin layer of fat powder, and at this time the cheeks are crimson, lined with a pair of clear and agile eyes in Gu Pan, like autumn water waves, rippling and vibrant.
With such intentions, do you want to come out on top at this spring palace banquet and pick a satisfactory husband?
The cat's paw scratched at his heart again, but this time it was a little sore.
Qu Yi, who was sitting in front, suddenly stood up, turned around and nodded to Ding Can, Ding Can got up, and the two of them went out with their front and back feet and stood under the corridor of the hall.
Qu Yi glanced at Lu Jiayue and said with a smile: "I just heard the second brother ask why the girl Yue came--- I brought her here on purpose, didn't Brother Rui disagree with her marriage?" I saw that this girl was strange and cute, so I wanted to pick a good family for her. ”
Ding Can was silent and said indifferently: "How old is she, my sister-in-law will protect her media, can Mrs. Qu allow it?" ”
Qu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
When he said last time that he wanted to marry the moon girl for Brother Rui, the little uncle didn't say that the moon girl was young, and it didn't take much time to change his style?
Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to save a good marriage for the moon girl, which will not only delay the moon girl, but also hurt the relationship between relatives?
"Yu'er, her eldest aunt naturally agreed, so I dared to open this mouth." Qu Yi hid the doubts in her heart, and said with a smile, "The moon girl is also fourteen this year, and it is not too small, I will pick it for her with my heart, and I will choose a satisfactory husband for her, settle down first, and then marry in a year or two, which is just right." ”
Ding Can sighed and said, "Yu'er is sixteen this year, sister-in-law should first set the marriage for Yu'er, why bother to make wedding clothes for others." ”
Qu Yi couldn't help frowning and glanced at his daughter, "You think I don't want to, but you also know that none of the men in Kyoto City can get into her eyes, what can I do?" ”
Ding Can looked at the side hall on the west side of the main hall.
In the hall of Naxipei, there have been many princes and princes in Beijing, and the men of the official eunuchs and dignitaries are all about twenty years old and have not yet married.
"So many children of families who are full of poetry and books and have outstanding appearance, there will be a banquet in a while, and my sister-in-law should let Yu'er personally pass through it, and pick one of them, maybe there will be someone she can fancy it?"
Qu Yi also followed Ding Can's gaze, looked into the West Side Palace, and said with a smile: "You are right, in fact, I already have a few satisfactory candidates in my heart--- what do you think of the second son of the Jing'an Hou family?" I've seen it with my own eyes, and I'm very good at looking and learning, and I am very good at talking and behaving. ”
Ding Can laughed and nodded, "I've also seen that kid, it's really good, my sister-in-law's vision is very good." ”
Qu Yi was very happy, "You said it was good, it must be excellent--- with the appearance of a girl in the moon, presumably Jing'an Houjia also likes her." ”
Ding Can frowned suddenly.
"Didn't the kid from Jing'an Houjia be picked by my sister-in-law for Yu'er?"
"Yu'er has already met him, saying that he is too weak and unmanly--- I see that he is a polite child, and it is just right to come to match the moon girl."
Ding Can was silent for a moment, smacking his lips, and his face was suspicious.
"What's wrong?" Qu Yi looked at Ding Can, "Do you think there's something wrong?" ”
Ding Can shook his head, with a look of pity and pity.
"Actually, I also heard rumors that the kid from the Jing'an Hou family raised a concubine outside, and two children were born, how can such a person marry?"
Qu Yi didn't believe it, and muttered to himself: "How could it be... I inquired clearly, and said that he only had two maids in the house, and he only liked to read on weekdays, so where did he come from..."
Qu Yi always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
*
More and more officials and their families came, and the east side hall dedicated to entertaining officials and relatives was already full.
Lu Jiayue and Ding Yu sat in the main hall drinking tea and talking, Qu Yi and Ding Can were still standing under the corridor of the hall, commenting on the boys.
It's just that Qu Yi said one, and Ding Can denied one.
Qu Yi said four or five in a row, but none of them were praised by Ding Can.
Qu Yi was unwilling and sighed: "Speaking of which, it is best to be the second son of the Jing'an Hou family, and after I go back, I will let people inquire about whether he has an outer room." ”
Ding Can was about to say more, when suddenly a team of palace ladies hurriedly walked in and smiled at the officials: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Danyang is forgiven, please excuse your ladies and young ladies from giving a big salute." ”
The officials and their relatives looked at each other, wondering what they meant, and saw another team of palace ladies, surrounded by a woman in brocade clothes and walking in.
The woman strode straight into the courtyard, smiling coquettishly, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Guo, didn't you say that Uncle Guo is here--- where is Uncle Guo?" ”
