Chapter 130: Birthday Party

"Mu Qing" Xiao Sa looked at Shen Muqing with scorching eyes, and said softly: "Someone recommended me to him Zeng Ju!" ”

Shen Muqing raised his head and looked at him blankly like a deer lost in the forest.

Xiao Sa's expression was faint, but he couldn't help but hold his breath: "Mu Qing, someone recommended me to Zeng Ju He wants to find a governor with better writing, you say, I am staying in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" Or go to Gansu? ”

There is hope, hesitation, and apprehension in the eyes.... And the pain!

In the flint lightning, Shen Muqing suddenly understood.

This is temptation...... The smart Xiao Sa quickly sorted out her emotions and tested her.

She couldn't help but scrutinize him.

The hands clenched tightly into fists, the lips trembled slightly, and the body stiffened...... are telling her about his waiting...... What did he expect......

Shen Muqing lowered his eyelids.

The rounded nails sink deep into the palm of the hand without feeling pain.

She spoke slowly: "I heard the master say that Zeng Ju is a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years...... You're still young, and you still have the time and capital to fail......"

Xiao Sa closed his eyes.

He was afraid, afraid of seeing those eyes like a clear breeze and bright moon, afraid of seeing his own cramped and uneasy reflection in his eyes, and even more afraid that he would be unable to help but refute and let his dirty thoughts be unobstructed in front of her.

What are you longing for?

Could it be that you will drag her into the water too?

The thought flashed, and my heart ached like a knife!

For their own incompetence...... For their own powerlessness...... For their own inaction......

But Shen Muqing's crisp voice was as clear as mercury, and the words he said were sprinkled on his heart like salt: "Although Gansu is bitter, Zeng Ju is lonely, you can learn a lot of useful things for you when you go...... Military attachés are no better than civilian officials, and their promotion and deposition all depend on military merit, and they are fought together with one sword and one sword...... Don't you want to leave your name in history and deserve to enjoy the Taimiao? The Great Zhou Dynasty is not allowed to be crowned a king without military honors, you know......"

It turned out that the pain was so extreme that it was numbness.

The corners of Xiao Sa's mouth curled slightly.

The girl tasted anger and grievances...... One day, will you forget? Can you forget?

The carved mallet fan behind the car was gently blown up like a veil, and Xiao Sa's sleeves waved, like a crane falcon flying out of the sky......

After sacrificing to the god Vesta, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the blink of an eye, it is the ninth day of the first month.

Shen Muqing invited Wang Wenhui, Jiang Shuangrui, Liang Xihui, Feng's cousins-in-law, Feng Wanqing, Princess Fuhua and several concubines from her uncle to come over and play: "Although I can't have a big banquet, I might as well come and sit down." ”

During the Chinese New Year, there was another excuse for the birthday, except for the eldest cousin of the Feng Mansion who wanted to entertain guests at home, and Princess Fuhua said that she was unwell, everyone else arrived.

Everyone gathered in the Diecui Courtyard, and there were a few older concubines on Mrs. Tai's side, who sat with Feng for a while and left. A group of female relatives of the same generation were not lively, fighting cards, throwing pots, eating and drinking, and playing happily for a day.

In the evening, Shen Muqing stayed with everyone: "Tomorrow is Youhui's birthday, you can't favor one over the other." ”

Wang Wenhui also said: "I have cleaned up the place where I live." It's in Youhui's Hsinchu Courtyard, which is remote and quiet, and doesn't need to be under the noses of the elders. (Baidu crosses good things and grinds more than you)

Everyone was a little moved when they heard it, except for the two uncles and concubines who were a little cowering because of the decline of their family, the others stayed.

Feng Youhui couldn't stay up late, Shen Muqing said that she left her in Diecui Courtyard, and moved herself and a group of concubines to Hsinchu Courtyard to fight cards.

She fought with the Feng family's third cousin-in-law, fifth cousin-in-law, and an uncle and concubine known as the sixth sister-in-law, and Feng Wanqing sat beside Shen Muqing and watched. On weekdays, Shen Muqing rarely participates in the card fights between relatives, and when he goes to the table, his hands and feet are very slow, but his luck is good, and in less than an hour, there are a lot of broken silver on the table.

The third cousin-in-law was a little breathless, and complained: "Mu Qing, can you hurry up with your hands and feet?" ”

Shen Muqing sighed, took out the cards in his hand and inserted them again, repeated them several times, and finally played one by one.

The other three people at the table were all anxious for her, and they were all relieved to see the cards played.

"Seven cylinders, nine ropes, thirty thousand" was quickly thrown out, and it was Shen Muqing's turn.

Touched a card and inserted it, she counted back and forth several times, and then smiled and poured the card down: "Big Four." ”

"Hey!" The three of them gave money with a long sigh.

The third cousin-in-law glanced at Wang Wenhui, who was standing aside and commanding, bringing tea and pouring water and charcoal.

Wang Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the third cousin-in-law and sat down: "Why is the third cousin-in-law's luck so bad?" I'll take a look. ”

Just a few hands, Lilac said: "Grandma, the cards on Mrs. Tai's side are about to disperse, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

The third cousin-in-law hurriedly grabbed Wang Wenhui's hand: "Wait a minute, you will go again after this game." ”

Wang Wenhui hesitated for a moment: "It's not necessary to go...... Just tell the kitchen to prepare a supper for Mrs. Tai's side......"

Shen Muqing got up when he listened, "Otherwise, I'll go and see on behalf of my sister-in-law...... My sister-in-law has been so busy these days that her feet don't touch the ground, so she should sit down and rest! ”

The sixth sister-in-law hurriedly pulled Shen Muqing: "No, if you win, you will leave!" ”

Shen Muqing pulled Feng Wanqing over beside him: "Or, let Wanqingfu beat me!" ”

The third cousin looked at the pile of broken silver in front of Shen Muqing, and said "Okay"

Feng Wanqing has been low in front of Shen Muqing for a day today, if he hadn't stood like this at home on weekdays, he was afraid that he would have been unable to stand it and would have collapsed.

"No, no, no," Feng Wanqing looked at the pile of broken silver, and shirked: "I, I can't play cards!" ”

"Can't play cards" The third cousin was very enthusiastic about Feng Wanqing coming to the table, and changed her luck, "I can't play cards, I just told Mu Qing that it has become a whole color, don't push it, start the cards quickly......"

Feng Wanqing still hesitated for a moment.

Shen Muqing already smiled and said: "You just fight, I won't export the money I won, and none of us will want to sleep tonight." ”

Feng Wanqing didn't know the temper of her cousin-in-law, and she was afraid that she would lose Shen Muqing's lottery and blame her if she didn't go to the table. Now that he got Shen Muqing's words, he naturally had no scruples, and sat down on the brocade let by Shen Muqing with a smile.

"I didn't play well...... Sisters-in-law should be merciful. ”

The third cousin-in-law saw Shen Muqing walking out with the two rings, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "You family, why do you have to say two words." ”

Feng Wanqing's face immediately turned crimson.

The sixth sister-in-law didn't walk around the Liang family until the New Year's holiday, and she was a little puzzled when she heard it: "Who is the same family with whom?" ”

The third sister-in-law covered her mouth and smiled, and was about to say something, when she saw Wang Wenhui gently pinching her arm, and said with a smile: "She said it was fun, everyone played cards, played cards!" ”

The sixth sister-in-law looked at the two of them, and felt more and more that there was a problem here, so she pulled the sleeve of the third sister-in-law: "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

The third cousin's gaze swirled on Feng Wanqing's flushed face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

The sixth sister-in-law looked at Feng Wanqing with some suspicion.

Feng Wanqing was very cramped and uneasy.

"There is no one else here," the fifth cousin-in-law, who had never spoken, looked at Feng Wanqing and smiled, and said faintly: "After the New Year, our fifth sister will marry into the Liang Mansion." (Baidu crosses good things and grinds more than you)

The people playing cards were stunned, and the room was silent.

Although everyone usually heard a little bit in private, no one heard the exact news.

Surprised, contemptuous, disdainful, gloating...... All kinds of eyes fell on Feng Wanqing.

Feng Wanqing is like sitting on pins and needles. With a pursed mouth, he stood up suddenly, and shouted "Fifth cousin" with shame and anger

"Even though it's a concubine for Ji Min, are you still going to carry it in silently!" The fifth cousin-in-law did not show weakness at all, and said with a frown, "You have to prepare a few tables of wine to entertain our relatives!" A sarcastic tone.

Feng Wanqing's face was red and blue, and he trembled with anger, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Wang Wenhui saw it, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "The fifth cousin's mouth is too fast." This is just Mrs. Tai's private meaning, what is it, there is no conclusion, everyone plays cards, play cards! ”

Ji Min's relatives immediately said: "Yes, the fifth grandmother of the Feng family, don't worry, if this matter is decided, you and I will have to add boxes, and you and me will have to drink." ”

"yes, yes!" The female dependents who have reacted have turned big things into small things, and small things have been attached to them. "Who's going to wipe the cards......"

Wang Wenhui took the opportunity to press down Feng Wanqing, who was standing there straightly: "Play cards quickly, be careful when Mu Qing comes back and finds that you have lost money absentmindedly and asked you to settle accounts!" ”

Feng Wanqing sat down a little annoyed.

She was uneasy, and after a few laps, the broken silver in front of Shen Muqing was missing a small corner.

The third cousin's eyes flashed with a hint of pride.

When Shen Muqing returned to Hsinchu Courtyard, there were only a few pieces of broken silver left in front of Feng Wanqing, and in the winter, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing Shen Muqing coming back, Feng Wanqing stood up a little unwillingly and shouted "third sister-in-law"

Shen Muqing winked at her playfully, turned to the people in the room and smiled: "It's the middle of the night, sisters-in-law, let's play after supper!" ”

"The third grandmother has worked hard!" Everyone thanked Shen Muqing with a grin.

After playing a game, I pushed the cards, and I didn't finish the game and accelerated the pace.

Shen Muqing whispered to Feng Wanqing and smiled: "Let's go for supper, maybe we can change our luck later." ”

Feng Wanqing nodded, took Shen Muqing's hand, and said gratefully: "Sister is so good to me!" ”

Everyone went to the east wing, where the table had already been set up, there were spiced cashew nuts, peanut sticky such as the opening plate, there were also dense sauce spicy yellow, Du Hua kohlrabi such as the next meal, porridge, dumplings, dumplings and so on There are more than a dozen kinds each.

A group of women sat down with a smile, and the maids obediently stepped forward to serve.

Shen Mu beckoned to Qing Chao.

Ying Fan immediately put a bowl of white porridge in front of Feng Wanqing.

Shen Muqing whispered to her: "I heard Ugin say that you like to eat white porridge, this was originally prepared for Mrs. Tai, you can taste it." ”
