Chapter 197: The Descendants of the Duke of Huaiguo
In the afternoon, when Lu Jun came from Longquan Town, Yi Yu was leading Pingtong and Chen Qu to taste dim sum in the big kitchen, and the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet in the Wei Wangfu was famous not only for the opportunities it provided, but also for its high-end specifications, as large as the banquet table Chen blanket, as small as a dim sum, all of which were not vulgar things.
"Princess Qiyu, Second Prince Lu has arrived, and he is waiting in the flower hall of the East Courtyard." Yi Yu had instructed before that the porter would not slack off if he did not recognize Lu Jun.
"Well," Yu Yu tasted another half of the lotus seed cake, wiped the crumbs on her fingers with a handkerchief, and there were more than thirty kinds of desserts on the long stove, she pointed out a few of them, and instructed Chen Qu:
"These can be withdrawn, these kinds of slightly sweet ones can only be sent to the women's table."
"Yes." Chen Qu carefully read the four or five plates so as not to make mistakes.
Yi Yu explained a few more words, and then took Pingtong to the flower hall to see Lu Jun.
He is wearing a bamboo-colored double-strand brocade deep coat today, which is also sewn by the Lu family in his spare time, taking advantage of his tall and strong figure just right, just like bamboo, if there is any fly in the ointment, that is, there is a faint scar at the corner of his eyebrows, which was left when he rescued Song Enxiao's subordinates, as soon as Yu Yu saw this scar, he remembered Song Xinci who was still in Yangzhou prison, and he was anxious about Lu Jun's marriage.
"What's for lunch? It is not appropriate to use it more at night, you must not be full, how about I ask someone to cook a bowl of fresh soup wonton for you? ”
Lu Jun took his eyes off the tiger fur blanket hanging on the wall of the flower hall cupboard, shook his head and smiled, "I'm not hungry at this time, wait, isn't the prince in the mansion?" ”
"I was invited away by Master Xie after lunch, probably to the Literature Museum," Yi Yu proposed, "There are some beautiful scenery in the palace, why don't I take you around?" ”
Lu Jun responded in a kind manner, and the brother and sister walked to the back garden with their children, followed by five or six attendants, holding tea trays, food boxes, mats, pu fans and other things in their hands, so that they could rest at any time.
Lu Jun saw it in his eyes, knowing that Yiyu had a good life in the palace, Li Tai took care of her very well, so he put some heart, he himself is a person who likes to stay outdoors, and it didn't take long for him to swim out of interest, the two of them walked down from the flower gallery carved with a hundred birds, and went around the small lake in the garden for half a circle, fed the fish, enjoyed the flowers, climbed the pavilion, went around the rockery, and talked while talking, it was rare to have fun, and I didn't know when it passed.
"Master, it's not too early, it's time for you to change your clothes." Ping Tong saw that the two of them were going to Xiyuan again, so he hurriedly reminded the hour.
Footsteps stopped, Lu Jun said, "You go, I'll go shopping by myself," and thinking that it was inappropriate to come to the back garden of the Wei Wang's Mansion by himself, he changed his words, "I'll go to the hall and wait." ”
"I'll pack it up for a while, this is the big maid next to me Pingyun, just ask her to take you to the west, and I'll send someone to find you later."
Seeing that she didn't mind, Lu Jun was not hypocritical, and followed Pingyun away, Yiyu returned to the Jade Courtyard, bathed and changed clothes, picked up for a while, put on makeup, hung up hairpins, and was sitting on the edge of the bed to put on shoes, Li Tai came back from outside.
"Why did you come back?" Yi Yu stood up from the side of the bed, and Da Da stepped forward to grab him who was still wearing a robe, "Hurry up and change your clothes, it's getting dark." ”
"There's no hurry." Li Tai swept her carefully groomed up and down, pulled her palm away and pinched it, Yiyu was so hot by him that his face was hot, he twisted it twice and took off his hand, went to get the clothes prepared on the hanger, and went to urge him.
Li Tai changed his clothes slowly and methodically, and was dragged by her to the dressing table to comb his hair and wear a crown, the two of them wore clothes with red lines on a purple background, cut and fitted, one wore a six-clawed gold crown with jade inlay, and the other had a set of two-inch three-edged gold twisted orchids, next to each other, looking in the mirror, rich but not ostentatious, gorgeous and beautiful, and the momentum was very calm.
"Hehe," Yi Yu fiddled with Li Tai's crown in the mirror, laughed, saw the confusion in his eyes, and quipped:
"The golden objects are the most picky to wear, one is not good, it is vulgar, I am the light of His Royal Highness, standing next to you, wearing so many is not vulgar, do you think I want to add two more?"
It is an exaggeration to say that it is full of exaggeration, but as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, dressing and wearing is extremely provocative, and you can be casual before you get married, if you dare to wear such a gold jewelry at such a banquet, it will attract criticism, what a little green in the flowers, pretending to be elegant, pretending to be high, it is very courageous, in contrast, she would rather follow the crowd, anyway, with Li Tai's aura, no matter how you wear it, it will not look ugly.
Li Tai was blatantly slapped by her, and his heart was happy, but he still had to educate her in his mouth, "Things must be reversed." ”
"It varies from person to person." Yu Yu smiled.
"Lord, princess, the banquet will be held in two quarters of an hour, and the guests have arrived, and Steward Sun has come to ask, are the masters going over?" The voice of a subordinate was heard outside the door.
Li Tai got up, pulled the jade up from the cushion, walked to the back of the door, and then turned his head and instructed Ping Tong, "Go and get the cloak." ”
Yi Yu knew that this was for his own use, and said busily, "It's not necessary, it's not cold." "She wears this for style, the material is already heavy, and with a cloak, it won't look good.
Li Tai glanced sideways at her waist wrapped in a circle of tassels, slender and easy to grip and too attractive, and said to Ping Tong, who was standing there without moving, "Go get it." ”
Pingtong didn't dare to disobey, so he picked out a dark brown half-cut cloak in the wardrobe and handed it over, Li Tai took it, put it on the reluctant Yuyu's shoulder, just enough to cover most of her body, lest she rebel, and explained:
"If you don't feel cold now, it will be cold at night."
Yi Yu thought about it, the night banquet courtyard in Xiyuan was next to a lake, and it would indeed be cold at night, he was concerned about himself, so he was happy all of a sudden, consciously tied the strap of the cloak hanging on his chest, took the initiative to hold his hand, and said with a smile:
"Then let's go."
Pingtong followed behind, lowered his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, he had never seen a woman who was as coaxing as his master.
There are several large and small lakes in the Wei Palace, which is the largest one in the Jade Courtyard that opened later, followed by the night banquet garden in the West Garden of the Palace.
Before Yi Yu went down the corridor, he heard the sound of people humming inside, and the musician team of the palace was playing in a corner, and the invitations were all learned and reasonable literati, no matter how loud the voice was, it did not overshadow the music.
turned a corner, walked down the corridor, and immediately someone reported, saying that it was the princess of Wei who had arrived, and the remnant of Yu fell down the steps in one step, and before the hind feet landed, he heard the sound of rubbing clothes, and the sound of talking and musical instruments stopped.
"Meet the King of Wei, Princess."
The same is a light black stone jade slab paving the road, the left and right sides of the mixed and orderly seats, two circles of colored lanterns hanging above the head, but only two black pressed heads can be seen, about a hundred and ten people came, and the seats were full.
"No courtesy." Li Tai cherished the words like gold, and did not say anything polite, the guests straightened up, and most of them still bowed their heads to send them to the table, but nearly a hundred eyes secretly fell on his body, with various meanings of visitation, so that Yu Yu wanted to ignore it.
The feeling of being in the limelight is not only vain, but also uncomfortable.
Li Tai walked through the two crowds without squinting, and after Yi Yuping followed him with two steps with his wide sleeves, he glanced back at Lu Jun who was following her and Li Tai, and saw that he was just looking at the banquet left and right, and did not show a restrained look, so he was a little relieved.
To be honest, in such an atmosphere, she can't help but be a little nervous, I don't know whether to say that Lu Jun has a good mentality, or that men's endurance and adaptability are stronger than women's.
Lu Jun was led to the second seat by the steward halfway through.
There are already a few adults present on the north seat, in addition to Du Chuke, Su Miao, Xie Yan, the most eye-catching is the Ministry of Rites, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, if you talk about dignity, as one of the three founding fathers, and the emperor's closest cousin, even if it is the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Qiao and other important ministers, they have to wave their hands in front of Li Xiaogong.
Therefore, tonight is different from three years ago, Yu Shinan's eldest grandson Wuji Fang Qiao was present, and such a person is in charge, which also makes people clear about Li Tai's methods.
Li Tai first saluted Li Xiaogong, then nodded to Du Chuke and the others, turned sideways and let Yi Yu step forward, and led Li Xiaogong, who was still sitting on the seat, with a smile on his face, and said:
"Come to see Uncle Huang."
Yu Yu exchanged his hand and saluted, "I've seen the prince of the county." ”
"This is the first time this king has seen his nephew and daughter-in-law, and he didn't bring any gifts, so you don't need to be polite." Li Xiaogong waved his hand, but in the surprised eyes of everyone, he got up and accepted her with a smile.
Yi Yu naturally knew the high status of this person, so he attributed Li Xiaogong's special treatment to Li Tai, and saw that the kindness on his face was obvious, and he couldn't help but smile back.
Li Xiaogong paused with a smile, retracted his gaze without a trace, and sat back.
Yi Yu didn't notice anything unusual about him, but Li Tai was keenly aware of his momentary stunnedness, frowned secretly, held Yi Yu's elbow with one hand, led her to sit down, and glanced at Li Xiaogong again.
"Huh? Who is this son, why hasn't the old man seen it? Li Xiaogong curiously stretched out his hand and pointed to Lu Jun in the second seat.
"It's my brother-in-law." Li Tai's words set off a thousand waves, which made everyone at the table divert their attention, Princess Wei is the granddaughter of Huaiguo Gong, which everyone knows, doesn't it mean that she is an orphan and widow, oh, by the way, her eldest brother Lu Zhi, wasn't he executed because he killed the second young master of the eldest grandson family who was a relative of the emperor
Where did this brother pop up again?
Lu Jun got up and bowed to Li Xiaogong, "In Xia Lu Nian'an, I have seen the prince of the county." ”
Lu Jun's coming-of-age crown ceremony was not officially held, he took the word "Nian'an" by himself, and Lu Xiping asked him to continue to use it.
"It was originally a descendant of Huaiguo Gong, well, it is really a talent." Li Xiaogong nodded, and went sideways to talk to Su Miao, and did not show any other attitude, but these two sentences, one sentence naming the most noble part of Lu Jun's background, and one compliment, are enough to keep people talking.
(There is a reaction of 193, 194 is heavy, the fruit is invisible, so I went to the background and brushed it again, you can go and see it again.) )
