In the banquet hall of Jiang Hou's Mansion, the beads are surrounded by greenery, and the plots are staggered, and it is a prosperous scene of wealth and elegance.

The ancestor of the Jiang family came out on crutches and sat down with a smile.

The table next to her were all the dukes of the Four Great Mansions.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wang of the Duke of Shengguo Mansion all bowed slightly and expressed their politeness.

In terms of grade, the ancestor of the Jiang family is one level higher than the four duchesses, and she is the oldest, and she is the main family today, so the four duchesses respect her.

"Thank you, guys." The ancestor of the Jiang family said with a smile, and also returned the salute to the four duchesses.

The maid brought hot dishes and soup plates one by one.

Zhou Huaili sent Jiang Siniang all the way to the door of the women's banquet hall in the inner courtyard before turning around and going to the second door.

Grandma Wu San and Grandma Cao were sitting together, and they caught a glimpse of Zhou Huaili's figure at the door, and when they looked back, they only saw Jiang Siniang walking in, and Grandma Wu San hurriedly smiled and beckoned to her: "Siniang, sit here." ”

Jiang Siniang hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and curtsied to Grandma Wu San.

"Don't be so polite, come, sit on my side." Grandma Wu San smiled and pointed to the position beside her.

Grandma Cao hurriedly said: "She is a little girl, and there is a special table for the little girl over there." ”

"One" book "Reading" "Aunt is very loving, and Siniang is grateful." Jiang Siniang greeted with a smile, "But the seats are already lined up over there." I'm going to sit here, and there's no place for anyone else. Jiang Siniang smiled and nodded, another blessing.

Grandma Wu San had no choice but to smile and said, "That's right." Go ahead, and don't disturb your little girl. ”

Jiang Siniang smiled slightly. He took the maid and went to the table on his side.

Feng sat across from Grandma Wu. I don't know Grandma Cao. I only talk to Grandma Tian, the daughter-in-law of the prince of Zheng Guo's mansion that I am familiar with.

Everyone was halfway through eating, and suddenly the voice of the steward came from the door: "Ancestor, the saint has come up!" ”

The people in the room were shocked, and then they all looked at the Jiang family with envy on their faces. - This face is really not small!

The ancestor of the Jiang family hurriedly came out on crutches, holding the maid's hand and saying repeatedly: "Help me to the front hall!" Help me to the antechamber! ”

When the Holy Carriage comes, if it is a loss of etiquette, even if the Holy One does not blame it. They themselves can't hold their heads up in front of people.

As a result, the Holy One came faster than everyone thought.

As soon as the ancestor of the Jiang family crossed the threshold of the banquet hall, he saw Emperor Xia Zhao, dressed in a regular uniform with a light blue background and dark color, striding around the shadow wall in the center of the courtyard and walking over.

"Greetings to the Holy One." The ancestor of the Jiang family hurriedly knelt down with the maid's hand.

"The old lady is flat." Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and raised his hand, and the attendants beside him hurriedly went over to help the ancestor of the Jiang family up.

The ladies in the banquet hall saw that the saint was actually here, and immediately knelt down, and only the princesses of the four major princes stood and blessed and did not kneel.

"Let's all be flat. I just came to see Mrs. Jiang and join in the fun. Emperor Xia Zhao raised his hand with a slight smile, and his gaze quickly swept into the hall.

I didn't see Sheng Siyan.

Why didn't she come?

Could it be that someone deliberately gave her a look in the face? Didn't invite her?

For such a big feast, the dukes and ladies of the four major princes came here. Sheng Siyan didn't come. - This is because the Jiang family doesn't take Emperor Xia Zhao in his eyes, right?!

Emperor Xia Zhao's face sank, and his brows frowned slightly. Standing on the cloister in the doorway.

The ancestor of the Jiang family looked at Emperor Xia Zhao's face, and his heart moved, secretly wondering if the saint came to see Shanshan?

Because Shanshan's identity is not yet clear, at today's banquet in the Jiang Hou Mansion, the ancestors of the Jiang family did not let Shanshan come out, but only let people take the dishes to her yard and ask a few little maids to accompany Shanshan to eat, drink and play.

Shanshan always thought that she was the cousin of the Jiang family, just a guest, so she didn't feel unhappy about this arrangement, but felt that she was comfortable in this way, and had a lot of fun with a few little maids in her room.

"Holy Lord, please." As soon as the ancestor of the Jiang family changed his mind, he decided to take Emperor Xia Zhao to see Shanshan.

Emperor Xia Zhao glanced at her, "Aren't you here to feast guests?" ”

"There are more distinguished guests, and there are special people to serve them." The ancestor of the Jiang family said with a smile, turned around and ordered Grandma Cao to greet the guests in the hall, and took Emperor Xia Zhao to the other side of the corridor.

Emperor Xia Zhao also thought that the Jiang family had opened up another place to entertain Sheng Siyan, and suddenly "Longyan Dayue", he felt that this Jiang family was really knowledgeable and interesting, and knew who was more noble!

Emperor Xia Zhao had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, followed the old ancestor of the Jiang family around the corridor, walked out of the courtyard of the banquet guests along the corner gate, and went to the courtyard where the old ancestor of the Jiang family lived.

Entering the house, the ancestor of the Jiang family smiled and whispered: "Holy Lord, Shanshan is in this house." As he spoke, he pointed to the door of the moon cave on the right.

Emperor Xia Zhao was stunned, frowned and asked, "Shanshan? "-Why isn't it Sheng Siyan =_=.

"yes. The saint finally came to our Jiang Hou Mansion for a trip, but we were stained with Shanshan's light. The ancestor of the Jiang family said with a smile, and he was about to call Shanshan out.

Emperor Xia Zhao raised his hand, stopped the ancestor of the Jiang family, and said lightly: "I'll go and take a look." As he spoke, he walked over.

A maid hurriedly opened the curtain of the moon cave door.

Emperor Xia Zhao stood at the door of the Moon Cave, watching a six- or seven-year-old girl sitting on the kang with one leg, shouting "one, two, three, four, five", and playing Go with a few little maids, laughing crisply and very happy.

Emperor Xia Zhao exhaled softly.

Shanshan heard the movement at the door, and when she looked back, the emperor and the ancestor were standing at the door, hurriedly throwing the chess pieces in their hands, and came down from the kang to salute, "I've seen the saint, the ancestor." ”

"Get up." Emperor Xia Zhao said warmly and slowly walked in.

Shanshan stood up, looked up at Emperor Xia Zhao and smiled.

Emperor Xia Zhao lowered his head and carefully looked at Shanshan's appearance, except for a pair of smaller phoenix eyes, Shanshan's face did not have the slightest resemblance to Sheng Siyan's.

Looking at Shanshan's clothes, the jewelry on her head, and her proper smile. And impeccable manners. Emperor Xia Zhao inevitably thought of Sheng Siyan's ill-fated encounter since he was born. and when he was in Wangjia Village, Sheng Siyan lived a poor and embarrassing life with the Wang family......

Emperor Xia Zhao closed his eyes, and what flashed in his mind was the appearance of Sheng Siyan he had seen when he was recuperating from his injuries in Wangjia Village that year.

At that time, she was about the same age as Shanshan now, but much thinner than Shanshan.

At that time, Emperor Xia Zhao didn't know at all. It turned out that the lively and lovely little girl next door to the Wang family was the child born to him and the woman he loved the most......

"Holy Lord, please have tea." Shanshan walked to the tea hole in the corner and poured a cup of tea for Emperor Xia Zhao.

Emperor Xia Zhao took the hot tea, turned it in his hand, put it on the kang table, reached out and touched Shanshan's head, "Be good, listen to Mrs. Jiang's words." After saying that, he nodded and strode away.

For the sake of the ancestors of the Jiang family. This is the indescribable love of Shanshan's father, which can only be expressed in this way.

"Ancestor. What's wrong with the saint? Shanshan curiously leaned up to Old Madam Jiang and looked at Emperor Xia Zhao's back.

"Holy Lord, this is a pain for our family." The ancestor of the Jiang family smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

……

Coming out of the inner courtyard gloomily, Emperor Xia Zhao thought about it, and went to the hall of the banquet in the outer courtyard of the Jiang Hou Mansion.

"The Holy One has arrived!"

The guests of the outer courtyard welcomed the arrival of Emperor Xia Zhao together.

Except for the four princes, everyone else was kneeling.

"Let's be flat." Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and raised his hand, and was greeted by the new Marquis Jiang to sit down with the wind.

The guests get up and return to their seats.

Emperor Xia Zhao glanced into the hall, but he didn't see Zhou Huaixuan, his brows paused, and he asked Jiang Houye with a smile, "Sui Feng, your post is good, and the people here are really complete." Look, even the four princes appreciate face. Saying that, Emperor Xia Zhao bowed his head to the four princes one by one, "Zhou Guogong, Zheng Guogong, Wu Guogong, Sheng Guogong, it's rare to see the four of you in one place." ”

"Don't say that, the four of us also drink together and play chess from time to time." Old Man Wu raised his wine glass with a smile and squeezed his eyes at Old Man Zhou.

Since Old Man Zhou has Sheng Siyan as a chess partner, it has long been not uncommon to play chess with others, and when he heard this, he just snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Old Wu, we haven't played chess for a while, right?" ”

"Haha, Old Zhou, are you thinking about it again? If you want, I can reluctantly accompany you for a few rounds! Old Man Wu smiled happily.

"It doesn't have to be. Now that I'm going to play chess, naturally I have someone to accompany me. You have to put away your tricks and deal with others. Old Man Zhou also raised his glass in return.

Old Man Zheng smiled: "This is strange, you can actually find an 'opponent'?!" ”

"It's nature." Old Man Zhou was very proud, and said with emotion: "The so-called chess opponent will meet a good talent, and you can't stop it when you get up!" ”

However, thinking that Sheng Siyan was pregnant, and he would have to wait at least another year to play chess with her, Old Man Zhou felt a little sorry, but the desire to hold his great-grandson was still far greater than playing chess, so he also enjoyed it, even if he waited for a year, it was worth it.

Emperor Xia Zhao listened patiently to what they said next to him, and then said casually: "I see that all the people in your mansion are here, why didn't our Zhenguo General come?" ”

Zhou Huaixuan's newly sealed official position is the general of Zhenguo.

Old Man Zhou smiled and said, "Huaixuan has something to do, so he can't come." ”

Jiang Houye was busy beside him and said, "Yes, the eldest prince of Zhou sent a big gift, and I said that it was too polite." ”

Emperor Xia Zhao's heart was relieved, and then tightened, but he also knew that these people around him were the best of the best, and whenever he showed a little special care for Sheng Siyan, it would make these people suspicious, so he had to say haha: "It should be, it should be." Everyone is here today, but if the eldest prince of Zhou didn't come, he should actually be punished with three glasses of wine! As he spoke, he called the chamberlain over, "Come on, go to the Shenjiang Mansion, just say that I said that the eldest prince of Zhou missed today's feast and will punish himself with three cups!" ”
