Chapter 24: The Brothers at the Banquet (2)
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were obviously stunned, and watched Qi Su Niang come forward to ask for peace, and the thirteenth elder brother smiled: "Miss Qi, I heard that you have arrived in the capital, and I only saw you today." With that, let her get up.
The people from the clan also arrived, and the ninth elder brother followed the two ******** of Nersu and Yaerjiang, Qi Su Niang smiled and led the two elder brothers into the front hall, and after their brother and brother finished greeting each other, they personally served tea to the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.
The fourteenth elder brother kept looking at her with a smile, took the tea and took a sip, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that it came out of the palace, where will your brother know this?" Tilting his head to look at her, he said: "It is said that the Han girl is charming, and the flag girl is precious, I think it is all about this clothes, then again, I look at you as if you are in the flag, and you are lining this dress, and you will wear it more in the future." ”
The thirteenth elder brother nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea, glanced at the fourteenth elder brother, turned his head and asked, "You are still screwing the relationship with the changed family?" ”
The smile on Qi Su Niang's face was retracted, and she said softly: "Back to the words of the Thirteenth Master, the slave maid is trying to ask the Fourteenth Master to talk to the emperor and show him a good kiss, and he will be smooth in the future." ”
The thirteenth elder brother shook his head and said, "Where is he for these people who have withdrawn their relatives?" Why do you force him again? Now that he is alone, he has treated you as a close relative, and you have some sympathy for him. ”
Qi Su Niang bit her lip slowly, but the fourteenth elder brother frowned, and said: "Thirteenth brother, sooner or later, Huang Ama will always give him a marriage, she has no foundation, she has to be wronged, is it possible to wait to be pressed by the concubine, or to be a concubine?" ”
The thirteenth elder brother shook his head again and again, and said, "Change will not fail her." Seeing that the ninth elder brother recruited Qi Su Niang over, he glanced at the fourteenth elder brother and said: "She is not in the banner, and when she comes to you, she is at most a concubine with no name, and her grievances are even greater." ”
The fourteenth elder brother snorted and said, "If I can't even manage the affairs of the house, will I be able to lead the army to battle in the future?" ”
The elder brothers in the hall were talking, and the clan relatives outside came in, and there was a rush again, and after a while, Qin Daoran came out and invited the gentlemen to the table.
Qi Su Niang saw Qin Daoran come out to preside, although she couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a bite, she was also relieved.
The nobles were seated one after another, and the front was empty, and the minions did not have time to catch their breath. The remnants of tea are all cleaned up; The middle seats with the horses, the cars, and the sedan chair are placed, and the groom's food and drink must be sent outside; The washing and adding pots in each house were counted one by one, and the books were made, waiting for the ninth master and the Wanyan family to pass through and then enter the warehouse; The Su opera troupe is ready, and the master will go on stage as soon as he calls. In this way, Qi Su Niang made arrangements one by one, and then went to the room where the cronies and eunuchs rested.
When I opened the door, I saw that there was a good table in the room, two little guys were waiting at any time, and a small actor was singing. This kind of appearance is beyond the norm, Qi Su Niang just took advantage of Qin Daoran's ignorance and took the money in the public as a favor. With such small hands and feet, Qin Daoran will naturally turn a blind eye to Qi Qiang's sake. Anyway, she didn't mean to please her master, and she would come to do an errand next time.
There are only four or five people who are eating, and the rest think that they are still listening to the errand in front of the master, but the personal eunuchs of the eldest brother, eighth elder brother, tenth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother are all there, Qi Su Niang secretly wondered, who formed a party with whom, just look at these eunuchs can understand.
Li Quan'er saw Qi Su Niang when she entered the mansion, and now when she saw her come in, she stood up and said with a smile: "In the end, it is Miss Qi who is sympathetic to the slaves and gives a few more decent." After that, he poured two glasses of wine to toast her.
The rest of the people naturally cheered, Fu Yourong personally held the wine, how could Qi Su Niang not accept it, and said politely: "The father-in-law is the most important thing for the masters, Su Niang has to take care of the father-in-law on weekdays, it should be Su Niang's respect for the father-in-law." Then he took the pot and poured it for each of them, and drank it together.
The so-called flowery sedan chair carries people, these eunuchs have eyes above the top and are not slippery, but they have dealt with Qi Su Niang in the palace, knowing that Qi Su Niang is not a slave in this house, and she will go out in the future to either be a person in the brother's house, seeing her modest, she became more and more polite.
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, Qin Quan'er and Qin Shun'er walked in, and when they saw Qi Su Niang, they all smiled, and they stepped forward to toast and drank together. Qi Su Niang entertained for a while, drank four or five glasses in a row, and felt that it was almost over, so she confessed, told her subordinates to serve well, and left.
When Fang went out, he heard a shout from the front: "Miss Qi, the holy decree is here, the prince is here." ”
Qi Su Niang sent someone to the back to inform the ninth master, and on the other hand, she sent someone to prepare the incense case, took three steps and made two steps by herself, and stepped forward to follow the prince and Li Dequan, who were wearing regular clothes, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid ask for peace for the prince, and ask for peace for the father-in-law." "But it's a little strange in my heart, this man loves to show off his bright yellow clothes the most, why did he change his sex today?
The prince and Li Dequan were stunned, the prince raised his hand to let her excuse herself, but he didn't speak, but Li Dequan smiled and said, "Miss Qi, when will you come to Beijing?" How did you get to the Nine Masters' Mansion? ”
Qi Su Niang bowed her head and replied respectfully: "If you go back to your father-in-law, Su Niang's brother is the steward of the Ninth Master's Mansion, and Su Niang will go to Beijing with her brother." The corner of his eyes slipped, looking at the prince's slightly clenched fist.
Li Dequan nodded slowly, and then he didn't speak, and then the brothers all came out, knelt down together to listen to the order, but they gave the name to Da Gege, and rewarded jade Ruyi, gold lock plate, Ruyi gold slull, ruler and other things.
Brother Jiu thanked him, hugged Da Gege out and let Li Dequan see it, invited him to drink a cup of tea, and Qi Su Niang offered a reward and sent him away.
At this time, all the elder brothers looked at Qi Su Niang, with a lot of surprise on their faces, looked at her a few times, and then followed the prince into the table.
Seeing that the nobles were full of food and drink, and listening to the play, Qi Su Niang went to the front again to make everything clear, the crown prince, the third elder brother let the carriage and horses go to the front, the eighth, tenth, fourteenth master and the eldest brother pressed back a little, the fourth master and the thirteenth master together, and the other masters came in order, the clan relatives and foreign officials could not go over to the head of the elder brothers, so that the outside laughed at the Nine Emperors' Mansion did not know the rules.
Qi Su Niangfang took a breath, ran over with a sweat on her head, and said: "Girl, Aunt Shi begs you for help, when the prince came back from changing clothes, Shuanghong didn't look at it, and hit the prince, this is going to be a seizure." ”
Qi Su Niang was also shocked when she heard this, shook her head and said, "What can I do if I go?" It's the great housekeeper of Qin, I'm afraid it's useless. But he didn't stop, and hurried to the side yard by the atrium.
