Chapter 19: Cousins
The eldest princess of Ji Yang looked at her grandson's heroic and granddaughter-in-law's charming and young 'spring' appearance, and she didn't want to sweep their young people's interest too much, so she smiled slightly and said: "This palace is looking forward to being healthy and long-lived, so I can see you a lot, if I can see how old my great-grandson is, it would be better." ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie lowered his head shyly, but Ning Shaobi smiled heartily: "What is this wish of grandmother?" The grandson still expects his grandmother to help raise his son' or two. ”
The 'waiters' around were all interesting, and they all said that the eldest princess of Jiyang, Qing 'Chun', was still there, and the 'jade' body was healthy, and she would be able to live a long and healthy life, and she saw that the descendants of the Marquis of Yongcheng were full of children.
After making such a fuss for a while, the eldest princess left them to eat some snacks and fruits, which made them bring a few bags of pastries back to the Hou Mansion.
There is nothing to do here in the Hou Mansion, the two are newly married, and they have to get tired of it, after two days, it is the Zhending County Palace's banquet to celebrate the princess of Zhending County to enter the 'door' for more than a year, and finally have a happy day, so get up early to dress up, order all the gifts, and go by car together.
- The princess of Zhending County is of course Zhao Caolu, when the king of Zhending County was supported by the saint and the queen, he didn't need the help of the Zhao family very much, and Zhao Caolu was estranged for a while, and later Zhao Caolu took advantage of Zhuo Zhirun to get married, and when he went to Zhuo's family with his elders to celebrate, he asked Zhuo Zhaojie to ask Ning Shaobi to help him inquire about the meaning of the king of Zhending County - what was the inside situation, at that time the Zhuo family was in a hurry, Zhuo Zhaojie had no intention of asking more about others, and it was not very clear, all in all, the king of Zhending County later showed the saint and the queen, A year and a half ago, he officially married Zhao Caolu and passed the 'door', and he seems to be doing well after marriage.
It's just that Zhao Caolu was also a leading figure in Chang'an Gui's 'woman' before leaving the cabinet, and after leaving the cabinet, it was a little vanished, in addition to the housekeeper director in the county king's mansion, he went to the East Palace or Daming Palace to accompany the princess and the queen, and the previous general handkerchief 'handkerchief' was a little estranged, and even with the Zhending County King opened the mansion for the first time in this county palace banquet.
The county king's mansion is in the sixteen king's mansion next door to Xingning Fang, adjacent to the Jin king's mansion, and not far from the Yanchang County palace - after all, these palaces are just in one square no matter how far away they are.
Although it is a great thing that the princess of Zhending County is happy, especially the king of Yanchang County, who was married nearly four years earlier than the king of Zhending County, and has no son-in-law under his knees, because the queen is disgusted with men and concubines, the king of Yanchang County, who is not liked by the queen, does not dare to let the concubine be born before the son-in-law, in comparison, the king of Zhending county has the eldest son first - even if this child is only the eldest 'daughter' now, it is one step ahead of the king of Yanchang County, who is still empty under his knees.
But also because the king of Yanchang County has nothing to do so far, and now the princess of Zhending County is pregnant and celebrates it vigorously, which inevitably ridicules the eldest brother, and the prince is partial to the king of Yanchang County, so this time it is a celebration, and it is just a small banquet.
Zhuo Zhaojie was helped off the carriage by Ning Shaobi, and it happened that Shi Caifeng and Mu Kong Cicada also arrived, but Shi Caifeng did not take the car, he rode a green horse, and when he saw Ning Shaobifu's 'woman', he hurriedly grabbed the reins, jumped off the mount and went up the stairs to greet him: "Jiulang, Qi Niang, you have also arrived?" As he greeted him, he pulled out a folding fan from his waist and bowed his hand.
Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie stayed behind when they heard the sound, and they both returned the salute, Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Mu is in the car?" ”
Shi Caifeng snorted and said, "This is nature." "Since he went up the steps, he stood and greeted Ning Shaobi, Mu Kongciao's carriage was naturally not as convenient as his green horse, slowly walked behind, said a few words on both sides, the carriage stopped at the bottom of the steps, and after stopping, the 'female' picked up Mu Kongcicada and got off, Zhuo Zhaojie was busy on the steps and beckoned to her - originally she intended to go down a few steps to greet her, but Ning Shaobi held her hand, and could only wave, their loving appearance fell in Mu Kongciao's eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Caifeng, But seeing that he was talking to Ning Shaobi casually, he didn't even look at himself, and Mu Kongciao's eyes sank.
She quickly concealed this trace of emotion, and the smiling step up the stairs and Zhuo Zhaojie laughed.
The four of them chatted and went inside, the king of Zhending County had personally welcomed him outside when he heard the news, and happened to meet behind the wall, and the four of them wanted to congratulate a few words, the king of Zhending County smiled, bowed his hand, thanked him, and teased Ning Shaobi and the two together with Shi Caifeng, and said: "Shi Wu has the eldest son, and now the lonely princess is also happy, but I don't know when Xiao Qi Niang will also report a good news?" ”
When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he was so ashamed that he raised his sleeves to cover his face, and said angrily: "The king of the county is about to be happy with the unicorn now, and he is losing his shape more and more, I kindly followed Jiulang to congratulate the king of the county, but the king of the county made fun of me." ”
King Zhending smiled: "What kind of joke is this? Lone's mother picked the pot of 'early birth of a noble son' in the treasury for a day, and today you came to congratulate Gu's princess with joy, how can Lone not also wish you good news as soon as possible? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly pulled Mu Kongcia to help him, and said: "Sister Mu, you are so happy to hear that the king of the county is now happy, and you are making fun of me!" ”
Before Mu Kong Chan could answer, Ning Shaobi had already scolded with a smile: "Now that I am still newly married, I will accept the blessing of the king of the county first-didn't you say that he came to congratulate the king of the county?" How can you say that you can't leave the Zhao Festival? ”
Mu Kong Cicada then said: "What grievances did you tell me at the beginning of your life? You see, it's not that Sister Mu doesn't love you, it's that your husband has long protected you impenetrable, and even your cousin is happy today and wants to tease you for a few words, but you ask Sister Mu how can she be useful? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie blushed more and more, and said softly: "Your cousins and sisters can bully people, I won't tell you." ”
Shi Caifeng said with a smile: "What's wrong with Sanniang's words? Since you have known each other, Ning Jiu, this kid, has always regarded you as a rare pearl, who doesn't know this Manchang'an? ”
"Say us back." Zhuo Zhaojie can be regarded as grasping the handle, and immediately said, "Sister Mu teased me a few words, and you were busy answering the call, you and Sister Mu are kind and loving, and you help her fall into the well everywhere!" ”
When Mu Kongcian heard this, he couldn't help but think of the fact that he saw Ning Shaobi accompanying Zhuo Zhaojie in the carriage in front of him, not to mention, when he got off the car, it was clear that Zhuo Zhaojie was not a person with 'legs' and feet, and there were also 'women' people beside him, but he had to carefully help his wife get out of the car with his own hands to rest assured, and his husband was bored with the carriage, so he insisted on riding a horse alone, and even met his friends, so he just chatted and greeted, and didn't care about himself at all, only the 'woman' helped him out of the car, she couldn't help but flash a trace of sparseness in her eyes, and her smile was a little light.
I didn't want to pick the wind and shake the fan gently, smiled slightly, and said with a natural face: "This is natural, Jiulang wants to protect you, how can I not go to Sanniang?" ”
Although Shi Caifeng has a son under his knees, he is still young 'spring', and he has added a little mature elegance after becoming a father, at this moment on the verandah of the palace with carved beams and paintings, lined with the bright 'spring' light outside the railing, his light robe is slowly belted, the folding fan is gently shaken, and the indescribable charm of the hope can really lead countless little ladies to bend their waists.
Mu Kong Cicada obviously knows that such sweet words are completely commonplace for Shi Caifeng, and he doesn't know how many times he has talked to many people until now, even herself, and it is not the first time she has heard Shi Caifeng say this, but she can be seen by Shi Caifeng's charming eyes, and a heart seems to have fallen into the morning sun of early 'spring', and she only feels that she is warm and soft and unspeakably comfortable and sweet, and she only feels that the grievances that Shi Caifeng has never lowered to help her before are gone.
She was bitter and willing to think: "It's just for Gorou to look at me at this moment, just for his occasional warm words, those people, those things...... I...... I'll just assume I don't know! ”
Mu Kong Cicada was easily 'fascinated' by Shi Caifeng here, throwing all the resentment in his heart, as if he was stepping on a cloud pile under his feet, and almost subconsciously followed everyone all the way to the backyard of the Zhending County Palace.
This backyard is deliberately dressed up today, the ground is paved, the brocade screen is around, the four 'flowers' are clustered, the melons and fruits are listed on the table, the breeze blows, the fragrance of melons and fruits comes slowly, and the middle seems to be 'mixed' mixed with the 'spring' day when everything is awake and the natural chirping Qingfen, everywhere is full of a sense of vitality.
Princess Zhao Caolu sat on the right side of the couch with a smile on her face, and left the left of the couch to the king of Zhending County, the princess of the county was dressed very festively today, and the dazzling garnet red ground Sihe Ruyi brocade "crossed" collar narrow sleeves, covered with purple ground and half sleeves, because she was pregnant, the waist belt was "exposed" out of the meaning of relaxation, tied a pair of colorful silk "flowers" palace silk, and the lower head was the autumn fragrance of the continuation of the brocade fairy skirt, the head was only simply curled with a vertebrae, obliquely "inserted" a pair of Luan Feng beads step shake, decorated with two dotted emerald beads' Flowers', lightly applied fat powder, the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, are all 'exposed' out of the heartfelt joy.
At this time, there were already a few guests who had arrived, not to mention the county lord of Dingcheng, Su Yumo and Su Yuyan's brothers and sisters were also here, and there was the prince of the king of Jin and Tang Qianxia, the small lord of the king of Jin - before on the verandah, the king of Zhending had already said that he would invite them today, counting the two pairs of husbands and women of Ning Shaobi and Shi Caifeng who were the last to arrive.
It was because of them that they came in, and Zhao Caolu turned his face and pretended to be majestic: "You came the latest, and we people waited and waited, what should we be guilty of?" ”
"In my opinion, he should be innocent." When Ning Shaobi and Shi Caifeng heard this, they didn't think about it, and said in unison.
Everyone laughed all at once, and the king of Zhending invited them to sit down first, and when they were all seated, Zhao Caolu said with a smile: "I just said that this is useless to them, these two people, what they have always been best at is to treat other people's politeness as a blessing." ”
Su Yuyan was very disappointed when she heard this, and said: "This is true, I thought that Ning Jiu was married, and with Xiao Qi Niang by his side, he should be more restrained no matter what, and I don't want him to be as lazy as before." He also said Zhuo Zhaojie, "You don't care about him!" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was about to speak, but Ning Shaobi had already snorted: "It turns out that Cousin Su is sowing discord, I'll just say, the county princess also said on the verandah on the road that we don't have to be polite, and it's the same as before, I don't want to go to the backyard, the princess of the county turned her face, the princess of the county has always been the most virtuous and supple, why did she suddenly change today?" But it's your cousin, you're not good, you don't have to teach the princess of the county. ”
Su Yuyan slowly and methodically took a sip of Luofu's 'spring' in the bottle, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Good for you, Ning Jiu!" In front of me, he sowed discord, and he was embarrassed to say that I sowed discord? ”
But the people here are tacitly aware that Zhao Caolu, the princess of the county, loves the king of Zhending, and has always treated people and things, and even dressed up, and everything is coveted by the king of Zhending, but whenever the decision made by the king of Zhending, even if she is sometimes wronged, she will never say half a word - so Ning Shaobi deliberately said that the king of Zhending County said something to let everyone not be polite, with Zhao Caolu's Of course, the temperament has to follow the king of Zhending, so it naturally seems that Su Yuyan is instigating Zhao Caolu to rebel against the king of Zhending.
I heard King Zhending say with a smile: "Cousin, don't you listen to Jiulang's nonsense, when did Gu Fang just say something on the verandah to tell him not to be polite?" ”
Everyone burst into laughter and said, "Jiulang is getting more and more ridiculous, the king of the county is here, and you dare to say it?" ”
"Although you haven't said it, Fourth Cousin, as far as I know about Fourth Cousin, at such a family banquet today, Fourth Cousin must not want us to be polite, so I just asked 'sex' to say it for your cousin." Ning Shaobi's face did not change his 'color', and said, "I know that the fourth cousin has always loved his younger siblings, but he can't be too partial, Mu Sanniang and Cousin Su are the cousins of the fourth cousin, why am I not your cousin, cousin, are you right?" ”
This time, the king of Zhending couldn't hold it anymore, and pointed at him and said to everyone: "Have you ever seen a sharpening gun more than this?" usually has a county king, and when he wants to let him go, he called his cousin. ”
"Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light." Ning Shaobi said 'color', "Although we are separated by one layer, we break bones and connect tendons, and we are always cousins, cousin, why are you willing to see that I can't get off the stage?" Isn't it? ”
"Jiulang, Jiulang, it's still like that when you get married, let's not expect to take advantage of him!" Zhao Caolu picked up a waist fan, half-covered his face, and shook his head and smiled.
