Chapter 187: The End of the Banquet
Chuqiu and Liqiu's faces were a little strange, and they glanced at each other before saying, "It's Sister Mingji." ”
"Huh, she?" Zhuo Zhaojie was in his infancy because of his weak body, it was difficult to support him in his own home, according to the rumors that he could not be placed next to his parents for a long time, and he was sent to Moling Youjia for foster care in a hurry.
However, considering that Zhuo Zhaojie will always return to Chang'an, if the people who have served for many years can't follow, I'm afraid they won't be used to it, so after Zhuo Zhaojie was a little longer, Ban asked about the "milk" mother and son who he gave his grandson's 'daughter', and they all had a small family in Moling, and they couldn't go north with Zhuo Zhaojie in the future.
The later Siming, Ming He, Ming 'Yin', and Ming Ye, the four ambassador 'women', were orphan 'women' specially bought by the Ban family, and they were not dragged down by their families, so they could follow Zhuo Zhaojie to serve all the time, so they stayed all the time.
But two years ago, Mingji and Minghe waited for Zhuo Zhaojie to go back to Mingyue Lake, because Zhuo Zhaojie caused something halfway, and it was very likely that they would be beaten and taught a lesson by Ban's, Mingji and Minghe cooperated as the personal envoy 'girl' who accompanied them, and after returning home, they were afraid of being affected by Zhuo Zhaojie, so they wanted to get out with bitter 'meat', and didn't want to anger Ban, thinking that they had served Zhuo Zhaojie for many years, although there was no additional punishment, but they were also exempted from continuing to serve Zhuo Zhaojie's messenger, and directly sent to the inner courtyard and sent to the outer courtyard - what Zhuo Zhaojie knew, It's Ban's who said that they would be assigned to serve casually for two years, so that Zhuo Zhaojie didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Because the usual ambassador 'female' lacked two people, and then four people were filled in the early autumn, and they arrived in Chang'an with Zhuo Zhaojie.
It is said that these two 'women' should be in Moling now, why did the early autumn and the beginning of autumn meet Mingji here in Qujiang?
Could it be that he followed You Huan to the north? But this is not right, You Huan only brought a small servant at all, and a few 'girl' servants are also mothers-in-law, in the end, he is here to study, and he is far away from his parents, You Ruoheng and You Xiao have to worry that if there is a young maid by his side, he will seduce him badly.
Besides, who in the You family doesn't know that Mingji and Minghe are Zhuo Zhaojie's people, even if the person who serves You Huan on the pillow will not choose the person who has been his cousin's personal ambassador 'daughter' - not to mention that the cousin's personal envoy 'daughter' made a 'waiting' concubine for his cousin, and it is not good to spread it out, and the Ban family hates the person who makes the 'woman' climb the 'bed' and can't tolerate such a thing.
What's more, if You Huan brought Ming Ji here, where is the reason not to talk to You's?
Zhuo Zhaojie asked suspiciously: "Don't be mistaken, how could Mingji be in Chang'an?" ”
Chuqiu and Liqiu pursed their lips and said: "'Meng' Banniang permission, the maid also talked to Sister Mingji for a while, you won't be mistaken, Sister Mingji knows that the lady is here, and said that she wants to come over and kowtow to say goodbye...... I told her that the lady was ordered by the lady to entertain all the ladies and ladies today, and I am afraid that I will not receive her courtesy......"
While saying this, the two looked at Zhuo Zhaojie's face, Guy Mingji is not only Zhuo Zhaojie's former ambassador 'daughter', but also the predecessor of Chuqiu and Liqiu, no matter what the two of them are now, it is natural to ask the old master to say goodbye, and whether to see Zhuo Zhaojie himself as the master, but Chuqiu and Liqiu are blocked, this is obviously a bit overstepping, and they are also suspected that they are jealous of their predecessors and don't want Zhuo Zhaojie to see the old servant, the two naturally have to worry about Zhuo Zhaojie thinking so.
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at them deeply and said, "She lives around here?" "If Mingji also arrived in Chang'an, could it be that there is no subordinate from the You family, and there is someone else who happens to be brought to Chang'an? That's a coincidence.
"Not really." Chu Qiu hesitated and said vaguely, "She is following today...... I happened to meet someone who came here to play. ”
"Let's go back, can you ask where she is now?" Is it the personal envoy 'woman' who has served for many years, if Mingji and Minghe are not doing well now, it doesn't hurt to help, since Chuqiu and Liqiu have blocked each other from coming over to ask for peace, there must be an inside story, and their personal envoy 'female' may not be able to believe it, but smart or confused Zhuo Zhaojie is still clear, Chuqiu and Liqiu have been sent away by the time Mingji and Minghe have been sent back, and now there is no reason to ask them to come back, normally there is no grudge, even if you don't want to see the master's envoy to the front'Female' is good, with these two 'females' would not be so obvious, but now is obviously not the time to ask about this matter in detail.
When she asked about the early autumn and the beginning of autumn, Zhuo Zhaoshu tried her best to appease He Siniang and He Wulang to go upstairs, and when Zhuo Zhaojie finished speaking, Zhuo Zhaoshu came over and whispered: "That 'girl' looks at the dress is acceptable, and it can't be compared with us for sure, but she is also wearing Qiluo and wearing a pearl hairpin...... I didn't listen to them, but I didn't see much sadness on their faces. ”
"Thank you, Ba Niang." Zhuo Zhaojie patted her hand lightly and said with a sense of excitement.
Zhuo Zhaoshu is really considerate, she saw that Mingji had something to do with Zhuo Zhaojie, and was worried that Zhuo Zhaojie would be inconvenient to see that person now, but she was distracted by this, don't be distracted by the jokes at the banquet, describing Mingji's good life, if Zhuo Zhaojie is thinking about her, don't be very anxious when she knows the news.
This day is the first 'chaos' and then smooth, except for Shi Weining and Chun Yu Pei when they arrived, but there were not many guests who arrived at that time, Luo's, He's came down to round the field, so it didn't sweep everyone's interest, and the birthday banquet was very smooth, the wine was in full swing, and everyone had to play with the pipa, and there were songs according to the festival...... Although there are not many people in Qujiang on rainy days, the beauty wine and silk bamboo singing on the first floor have also attracted many people to come and watch the excitement outside the building.
Zhuo Zhaojie ran around to greet and socialize, knowing the news and sending people down to tell the people to be vigilant, although the identity of the 'women' in the building is now, and the prince can not be very offended, but who knows if those people downstairs have one or two bold 'waves' and 'swings', looking for space to break in and make trouble? Since you want to let your subordinates pay attention to leaving a few capable people to take care of the back 'door', windows, etc., don't let people come in and disturb everyone's interest.
After being busy all the way to the end, everyone finally returned happy, and they all praised Zhuo Zhaojie's good preparations, and also relieved Xiao Qi Niang, who presided over the banquet for the first time.
Breathe a sigh of relief, the matter is not completely finished, after the banquet is over, Zhuo Zhaojie has to greet each other one by one, a few people in the room have drunk too much, and they have to give a few extra words, or send more people to help escort them back, so that everyone is gone, she stayed at the end, waiting for the next person to clean up, and settle the silver money with Man Xiangyuan, at this time, you can see the benefits of packing a building outside - the so-called cleaning is to take the utensils and utensils brought by the Zhuo family and buy the dishes, and the rest is to settle the silver money with Man Xiangyuan, As for the mess after the crowd dispersed, there was no need for Zhuo Zhaojie to stay and watch it himself.
After all, it is the first time to host such a banquet, Zhuo Zhaojie used to be a person who did not 'worry' about everything, and today he has been carrying a heart for fear of something going wrong, and he is always ready to deal with changes.
Seeing her tired appearance, Ah Xing hurriedly handed over the ginseng tea: "Before coming out, Aunt Mao beside Mrs. quietly gave the maid, saying that the first time the lady did such an errand, she must be conscientious and afraid of making mistakes, and she was tired at the end of the day, and it would be better to drink a few sips of this tea." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie ate two lamps according to his words, and really felt relieved, and said with emotion: "In the past, I can't say that I look forward to going to the banquet, but I think it's always fun to have a lively gathering, but now I know that it's not easy to do such a show, this is still my sister-in-law and sisters are helping, and I do it outside, if I am at home, this will be gone, and I can't finish it." ”
Ah Xing pursed her lips and smiled: "But the lady is doing very well, who doesn't say that the lady is capable today?" This is the first time that a lady has hosted such a banquet! ”
"You have all worked hard, let's drink some ginseng tea, where can I finish it alone?" Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and ordered Ah Xing to distribute the ginseng tea to everyone, Ah Xing did not shirk, thanked Ah Li, Chu Qiu, and Li Qiu together, and each poured tea and drank it - Zhuo Zhaojie will be very tired, and after returning to the Hou Mansion, he may be able to be released to rest immediately, they are not qualified to be so considerate, they must be called to ask about the situation of the day immediately, so that You Shi can understand the performance of her beloved little 'girl' today.
Moreover, at the banquet, they have been following Zhuo Zhaojie, the person responsible for organizing the banquet, to greet each other, and like Zhuo Zhaojie, they have no time to eat at all, and now they don't drink ginseng tea, where can they hold it back.
Because the rain had not stopped at this time, on the way back to the Hou Mansion, he was not in a hurry, and the coachman asked Zhuo Zhaojie, so he walked slowly to be safe.
In this way, the master and servant drank ginseng tea together and breathed a sigh of relief, and looked outside the car curtain, but it was just on Suzaku Street, and there were several squares on the road, Zhuo Zhaojie remembered and asked Chuqiu and Liqiu: "Mingji's matter?" ”
"Lady, we didn't deliberately stop her from coming to see the lady." Chu Qiu hurriedly explained, "It's because her identity is a little ...... now Today, the lady is busy again, and there are many people in the Manxiang Garden, I am afraid that the same as the eldest lady I met in Qujiang last time, she will be used by someone to make gossip. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie frowned suddenly.
Last time, for a pot of "Yu Ji's 'Yan' outfit", Zhuo Zhaojie didn't take it to heart, he didn't want to be involved in such a big event as 'Spring', and he was forcibly pressed by the title of "Jiangnan's No. 1 talented 'woman'", and then he also alarmed Min Pinghou, and went up to heaven to listen - even if he didn't want to be inexplicably involved in the matter at that time, he was frightened by the inexplicable involvement of things, just said that he was locked up in another courtyard and trained by Min Pinghou and Wenzhi for several days, if it wasn't for the call in the palace, I don't know when the days of studying so hard would be a head!
If it weren't for that time when they entered the palace, the saint and the queen unexpectedly chose the king of Zhending County, which set off a terrifying 'wave' in both the government and the opposition, and Minping Hou couldn't take care of his grandson's 'daughter' at all...... Maybe Zhuo Zhaojie will still be detained in another courtyard to learn the Fu Wen of Na Lao Shizi!
Thinking of those days in the other courtyard, the indifferent and harsh faces of Marquis Min Pinghou and Wen Zhizhi, and the treatment of himself and Shen Dangu was completely different...... And the homework that must be done every day...... Zhuo Zhaojie's face suddenly turned a little blue!
She said, "You should be cautious, Chang'an is not Moling, there are many people here, sometimes it is just a trivial matter, but it has become a spark in the prairie fire, you must not guard against it!" ”
