Chapter 47: Invitation

Zhuo Zhaojie was detained in the Binwei Courtyard and punished, and the matter of You Ju could only be taken from the mother-in-law who came to deliver the meal, and of course the mother-in-law could not know much, as if the second lady planned to ask to see the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, but was reprimanded by the Ban family...... So You Ji accompanied You Ju to the court again, because there were witnesses on both sides, and there was Meng Yuanhao behind Zhao Liu, Wei Xing was not a person on either side, so he could only spend his days with the mud, and this case gradually spread in Moling City, and the reputation of the You family and Zhao Liu was compared, and most people still believed in the You family, but some people felt that Zhao Liu's words were not necessarily false......

"Yesterday morning, the old lady was still saying that it was rare for the You family to make the Moling City up and down lively." Minghe sent his mother-in-law away, came back and whispered, "But the old lady didn't seem to be very angry when she said this. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie counted the days, if Ban sent a letter on the day he was beaten, then it would take another two or three days to receive a reply, nodded and said, "Give her some benefits when the mother-in-law comes in the evening." ”

Minghe pursed his lips: "The servant knows." ”

It's just that I didn't wait for dinner, but the tortoiseshell that I hadn't seen for several days came, and when Minghe opened the 'door', Zhuo Zhaojie was in the study, copying the "Book of Rites" by the window, and saw the tortoiseshell being accompanied by Minghe through the courtyard and thought that the tortoiseshell was accompanied by Minghe, and couldn't help but be overjoyed - only the tortoiseshell came over, she suddenly became angry again, her head was lowered, her face was flat, and her pen was accelerated, as if she hadn't seen the tortoiseshell at all.

Minghe snickered and whispered to the tortoiseshell: "Sister, don't complain about the 'girl', the 'girl' is still young." ”

"How dare I blame her?" The tortoiseshell chuckled and said, "You don't know how many times the old lady has read it these days, there is a fish on the table at noon today, and the old lady is still used to saying 'fish belly is left to Zhaojie, she doesn't like to eat places with many spines'!" ”

"Sister came over suddenly, but the old lady ......," Minghe asked not surprised at all.

The tortoiseshell pursed her lips and smiled: "I have to ask Qi Niang." ”

Because Zhuo Zhaojie continued to write in a negative mood, although the tortoiseshell knew that she was angry, she didn't dare to disturb at will, and stood outside the study for a long time, Zhuo Zhaojie wrote more and more sloppy, and couldn't hold back his mood, so he put down the pen calmly, took the paperweight and pressed the corner, and then asked lukewarmly: "What's the matter?" ”

The tortoiseshell was funny in her heart, but she was afraid that she would not be able to get off the stage with a smile on her face, so she coughed and suppressed the smile, and then said: "The little lady of the Meng family came to the post to invite the 'girl' to the Meng Mansion for a banquet the day after tomorrow." ”

"Meng Miaorong?" Zhuo Zhaojie originally said that Ban was reluctant to do this, and wanted to call the tortoiseshell to announce the revocation of his disposition, but he didn't expect that it was Meng Miaorong who sent the post, first disappointed, and then understood, I am afraid that Ban also took this opportunity to gradually cancel the previous punishment, so thinking about it, a little smile finally appeared, "I remember that her birthday is in the second half of the year, what will she do with this post?" ”

Seeing her smile on her face, the tortoiseshell finally relaxed herself, pursed her lips and said, "The post said that it was Little Lady Meng who wanted to apprentice." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie became curious: "What kind of teacher?" ”

"It's a person named Li Yanjing, the post didn't elaborate, and the maid didn't know." The tortoiseshell shook her head, "The old lady called the maid to ask Qi Niang if she is going?" ”

Of course I'm going!

Zhuo Zhaojie has been locked up for so many days, although she has been in this Binwei courtyard for a long time, although the ancient apricots and ancient peaches in her Binwei Courtyard are the grand scene of Moling in this season, but she is tired of looking at it all day, and she has such an opportunity to go out, maybe she can lift the ban like this, she is desperate.

The tortoiseshell saw her intentions and said, "The old lady said that it is okay to go." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie waited for a long time and saw the tortoiseshell standing quietly, and said in astonishment: "Grandmother said this? Isn't there a follow-up such as "Take this opportunity to summon yourself to Duanyi Garden, play tricks on yourself, and your grandmother will push the boat down the river and forget the words that punished you before"?!

"That's what the old lady said." Tortoiseshell smiled.

"......" Zhuo Zhaojie said depressedly: "I know, you go." ”

When the tortoiseshell was gone, Zhuo Zhaojie called Minghe without "fineness": "Back up the ceremony, pick another dress." ”

Minghe couldn't help but smile and comforted her: "The 'girl' is relieved, and the 'door' will always go to the old lady to say goodbye when the sun goes out." ”

"Humph! What am I not relieved about! Zhuo Zhaojie pursed the corners of his mouth and said loudly.

"'Girl', please see if it's okay to wear this in the Taishou Mansion the day after tomorrow......" Ming Ji quickly changed the topic and took out the skirt from the suitcase to show Zhuo Zhaojie......

On the day when Meng Miaorong wanted to apprentice, Zhuo Zhaojie got up early in the morning, picked a chezi embroidered with a butterfly on a yellow background of primrose and a 'flower', a lotus 'color' shirt with wide sleeves and crepe tops, an apricot red Luo skirt, a brocade around the waist, and a bean green palace tape, and Ming He held a 'jade' comb, and asked: "Is the 'girl' still a double snail?" ”

"Just double screws." Zhuo Zhaojie was thinking about going to Duanyi Garden for a while, and he was absent-minded.

Tied a good double snail bun, decorated with a little bead 'flower', a short hairpin on one side, a wisp of red coral beads from the sideburns all the way to the gills, green sideburns and red cheek beads, it is very good-looking.

Ming Ji took the snail Dai from the makeup box, and lightly traced Zhuo Zhaojie's eyebrows, and then looked in the mirror, the little lady with snowy skin and 'flower' appearance naturally had dizzy cheeks, bright red lips and bright color, and there was no need for rouge at all.

Hastily had breakfast, Zhuo Zhaojie tried to hold down the pace, and arrived at Duanyi Yuan at a normal speed, and when he didn't want to enter the 'door', he saw Ban's smiling and 'groaning' and 'groaning' sitting on it, and his eyes turned red in the end - Ban's heart was also a little crying and laughing, and he said angrily: "Look at this look of being a little wronged...... The past really taught you plainly! ”

"Since my grandmother knows that I am this 'sex', she will punish me!" Zhuo Zhaojie was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry again, so Ban had to call her to his side, wiped her with his own handkerchief, and said kindly: "Then should you be punished for deceiving your grandmother?" ”

"......" Zhuo Zhaojie was speechless.

Ban asked again: "You know that Ning Shizi is from Chang'an like Zhaocui, but now your second cousin has been falsely accused of involving Chang'an, and even your second aunt doesn't know, but I first talked to you, Rao is so, you met Ning Shizi or your second uncle came to say it, you say ......"

Zhuo Zhaojie's face was flushed, and he couldn't say anything angry, so he lowered his head in embarrassment and 'rubbed' the corners of his clothes.

Ban Shi saw it in his eyes, smiled secretly in his heart, but sighed on his face: "You know that you feel sorry for your cousin and cousin, and you would rather deceive your grandmother for them, alas, ......" Ban 'touched' her hand sadly, "In the end, you play together every day, what is my old woman's ......"

"It's me who was wrong, my grandmother is right!" Zhuo Zhaojie collapsed, and knelt down convincingly.

Ban deliberately asked, "Do you really know it's wrong?" So who deliberately ignored the tortoiseshell? ”

“…… Sister tortoiseshell, it's me who is wrong, don't worry about me. Zhuo Zhaojie obediently apologized to the tortoiseshell next to him.

The tortoiseshell smiled and said it was fine.

Ban Shi saw that Zhuo Zhaojie was really not angry, so he smiled and said, "You will lift the ban when you come back from the Meng family." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered You Can, and said puzzledly: "By the way, why isn't the third cousin here today?" ”

"Why did she come here?" Ban said, "I want to ask you, what happened to Canniang and the little lady Meng?" Why did Meng Xiaoniang give you a post but didn't give it to her this time? ”

"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie said unexpectedly, "I don't know, before the third cousin said that Meng Xiaoniang was a very arrogant person...... But last time Sister Bai came out of the cabinet, I didn't see the third cousin arguing with Little Lady Meng? How so? ”

Ban said: "When I was a 'girl', I was used to being held by the elders, and each one was more like the other, and they all came over like this...... Since Meng Xiaoniang didn't give Canniang a post, then you should be alone, and I just don't plan to lift Canniang's ban! ”

"Why?" Zhuo Zhaojie was tired of falling into her arms, "I've lifted the ban, but the third cousin is still puzzled?" ”

Ban snorted: "Don't come to this set!" But Zhuo Zhaojie shook his arm a few times, and finally let go of his mouth, "This is what your second aunt means, your future second cousin's mother's funeral will end next year's summer, and it was said that Hu Xiaoniang's mother's funeral will pass the 'door' as soon as it is finished, and Bai Wulang is ready to try tomorrow in the autumn, if you can be lifted, the Bai family means to let Canniang open the 'spring' out of the cabinet the year after tomorrow, so that Bai Wulang will come over to ask your grandfather for homework, and secondly, he will enter Beijing to take the exam in the future, just let Canniang accompany him to take care of one or two." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought about the inseparable appearance of You Can and Bai Zijing that he had seen before, and couldn't help but smile, and asked, "Since you are going to leave the cabinet, why do you want your third cousin to be grounded?" ”

"Although our family can afford to invite an embroidery girl, the new 'woman' must always take out something to suit the occasion when she passes through the 'door'?" Ban asked rhetorically, "Canniang's 'sex', don't restrain her, don't say that the 'spring' will be out of the cabinet the year after tomorrow, just wait for another two years, what can she embroider?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was speechless, and Ban Shi had already waved his hand and said, "Chenguang is almost there, you can go." ”

"Hey!" Zhuo Zhaojie responded, stood up, and thought about You Ju again, although he hurried out of the 'door', he still asked, "Second cousin...... What about Meng Yuanhao? ”

Ban frowned and said: "This matter has subsided, and Meng Yuanhao has also explained it clearly, you should not have such a thing when you see the little lady of the Meng family, do you know?" ”

"How did it calm down?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked curiously, didn't the mother-in-law who delivered food still say that the whole city was watching the excitement of Youjia?

"The matter spread, the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng heard it, and took the initiative to call someone to the court to testify, and the people who were falsely accused were beaten and driven out of Moling......" Ban said, "Today, your grandfather and second uncle will lead your second cousin and sixth cousin over to personally thank you - speaking of which, you are too ignorant, even if you are afraid of being punished, you dare not tell your family, so you can also make someone go to the 'door' to thank you afterwards?" You don't even have this 'private' room? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was ashamed and said: "It's also because the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng has repeatedly said that it is a trivial matter, and he is afraid that it will disturb ......."

"The Hou Shizi of Yongcheng said that it was a trivial matter, that was his magnanimity, you fools just took it seriously, that was a fool!" Ban snorted, "If this thing gets out, the whole city of Moling will really see a big joke!" The grandchildren and grandchildren of the Hanlin family and the grandchildren and grandchildren of the Hanlin family don't even understand the etiquette that the old women in the streets and alleys know! That's why I want you to copy the Book of Rites! Now that you are half a year old, you can still say that the little mother's family is young, frightened and negligent, and when you return to Chang'an, do you think everyone will tolerate you as generously as the family? Do you know how many people in this world have accidentally 'made' a good thing into a bad thing, or even become a friend and an enemy? Especially the more noble the person, the easier it is to be offended! ”

Seeing that Zhuo Zhaojie was depressed, Ban Shi slowed down his tone again, "I'm not complaining that you missed the opportunity to 'communicate' with the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng!" Our family is not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory! But you're so rude this time! Your grandfather has a little shameless to go to the 'door' of the world! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was trained to say no more, and only said: "I know it's wrong." ”

"Go, go, go." Ban Shi waved his hand, "If you delay any longer, Meng Xiaoniang is afraid that she will not go because of you." ”
