Chapter 70: The Marquis of Yongcheng
Ning Shaobi openly defended Zhuo Zhaojie like this, and the attitude of the king of Zhending County was also placed there, Zhao Caolu, Mu Kongjian, Fan Deyi and others could no longer be vigilant, that is, they muttered in their hearts, and their faces were always enthusiastic, plus they were threaded from time to time, and gradually everyone talked lively.
At this moment, the 'door' of the private room was knocked again, and everyone only thought it was the 'waiter' of the Tianxiang Pavilion to deliver food, and they ignored it, only the 'waiter' closest to the 'door' went to open the 'door', looked at it, and suddenly sighed.
This voice was not high, so it didn't attract the attention of a few people, Shi Caifeng happened to be close to the 'door', and when he looked back, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing here?!" ”
He drank, everyone looked over, because it was blocked by the half-open 'door', at this moment in the private room can only see the 'door' standing a little lady with an aggrieved face, moth eyebrows, phoenix eyes, bright teeth and red 'lips', wearing primrose narrow sleeves 'handover' collar undergarment, tied a hundred 'flowers' and wearing a butterfly brocade skirt, with a silk 'color' shawl on the arm, combed a single snail, hairpin 'jade' and 'inserted' gold, and pinned a green incense ball just picked on the sideburns.
Zhuo Zhaojie recognized that this little lady was the Mu Kong Cicada who had seen it once at the princess's 'Spring' banquet, she remembered that although this Mu Kong Cicada was not as lively and noisy as the Chun Yu sisters, but it was also a generous and decent little lady, but this Mu Kong Cicada was a look of 'desire' crying at any time, and her cheeks didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed or angry, red and red, like wine and makeup, she stood ' At the door, everyone looked at her, but she didn't dare to look at anyone, staring down at her feet, her hands clutching her sleeves tightly, and her eyes were better and she could see that her hands were trembling slightly......
Zhao Caolu naturally knew Mu Kong Cicada, and at first he didn't see anything wrong at a cursory glance, but only greeted with a smile: "Hey, Sister Mu, can't you find a good position?" Thanks to Ning Jiu's big room, come in...... Ning Jiu, aren't you so stingy? ”
Ning Shaobi glanced at Mu Kongcicada, and said hesitantly: "I don't have any opinion, but you have to ask Shi Wu." ”
At this time, Mu Kongjian's face was not very good-looking, and he stared at Shi Caifeng and said: "This private room is not yours, what are you doing to my Sanniang like this?" ”
Shi Caifeng retracted his gaze, sat back in his place, poured a full glass of mint 'dew' without saying a word, and drank it all, before he said coldly: "Whatever you want, just ask her to sit away from me!" ”
…… He said so politely in public and to his face, even the king of Zhending didn't think of Yuanchang's words for a while, so he had to set his eyes on Ning Shaobi.
Ning Shaobi didn't bother to pay attention, but Zhuo Zhaojie saw Mu Kong Cicada's face turn red, and she was about to cry the next moment, although she didn't have any 'friendship' with Mu Kong Cicada, she was a little lady in the end, she couldn't bear it, and secretly pulled Ning Shaobi's sleeve, Ning Shaobi looked at her, her heart was clear, she groaned, and shouted to Samana: "Don't you have long eyes?" Why don't you go and invite Mu Sanniang to come in and sit with Zhao Daniang? ”
When he said this, Zhao Caolu suddenly choked - now the 'women' who are qualified to sit in the private room are Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhao Caolu, obviously Zhuo Zhaojie can't bear to be embarrassed by Mu Kongciao, so he signaled Ning Shaobi to relieve him, but Ning Shaobi didn't ask Samana to place Mu Kongcian by Zhuo Zhaojie's side, his intention was very clear, that is, to let Mu Kongcian not disturb Zhuo Zhaojie and him - the problem is that Zhao Caolu didn't want to be disturbed and talk to the king of Zhending County 'privately'!
After all, Ning Shaobi has always done her own thing, and today she can ignore others, including the king of Zhending, but why does the king of Zhending have to say a few words of fan proudness? So there are not many Chenguang who talks to Zhao Caolu in private, Shi Caifeng is so mean, Mu Kongcia can cry at any time when she looks at it now, how can she say that she is also the cousin of the king of Zhending, can Zhao Caolu, the future sister-in-law who is wholeheartedly with the king of Zhending, not persuade him? With such persuasion and accompaniment, where does she still have the kung fu to say a few sweet words to the king of Zhending County 'in private'?
Thinking like this, Zhao Caolu's eyes were almost red!
But Ning Shaobi has already scolded the 'woman' like this, Zhao Caolu doesn't have his shamelessness in the end, so he can only regret and secretly grit his teeth at Ning Shaobi......
I didn't want Mu Kong Cicada to hesitate here and didn't know whether to sit or not, and looked behind me from time to time, but didn't come in for a while, but said timidly to the back: "The prince first, please!" ”
Hearing this prince, Zhuo Zhaojie hadn't reacted yet, but Ning Shaobi suddenly felt a little bad-
Where Mu Kongcia let out, a middle-aged man wearing Zitang's usual clothes put his hands behind his back and paced in slowly!
This man is about thirty or forty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white skin, a purple and gold crown on his head, a cat's eye hairpin fixed with black hair, and a short beard under his chin.
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know this person, and looked at him with curious eyes, speculating on the identity of the person, but the other people in the private room, when they saw this man, their expressions became strange for a moment, and the corners of the mouth of the king of Zhending County 'twitched', and he was stunned for a few breaths, before he coughed and stopped the man from saluting, but he got up and said: "Since it is not a great ceremony, how can it be reasonable to ask my cousin to bow to Lonely?" ”
He did this, and the others also came back to their senses, Shi Caifeng quietly handed Zhuo Zhaojie a "take care" look, and said loudly: "My nephew has seen my cousin, but my cousin didn't accompany Aunt Ji Yang's grandmother today?" ”
Aunt Ji, Aunt Ji Yang's grandmother?!
Zhuo Zhaojie was shocked, and before he could react, he saw that Ning Shaobi had already frowned and made a family ceremony, and said concisely: "Why did my father come?" ”
………… Sure enough, it was the Marquis of Yongcheng!!
Zhuo Zhaojie's heart was a mess, and her next thought was - what should I do now?!!!
In the 'chaos' and 'chaos', she subconsciously followed Zhao Caolu to see the elders, and her mind was blank!
The Hou of Yongcheng looked indifferent, first waved his hand to let everyone sit down and talk, and then sat on the seat that everyone gave up, and then said lightly: "I happened to pass by in front of the museum, and saw that Mu Sanniang seemed to be a little bad, so I stopped my horse and asked, and when I learned that Mu Shilang was here, I sent Sanniang up, so as not to worry about you." ”
…… Mu Sanniang may indeed be like this, looking at her hesitant appearance at the 'door' is not like daring to run up and knock on the 'door', the problem is, today is the first day of the peony 'flower' meeting, the east and west cities say that the crowds are not too much, in previous years, the entire 'flower' will be basically in the Hou Mansion or the eldest princess's mansion without leaving the house, you are so leisurely and elegant today, with a hundred refinements' The will of Jing'gang to see death as if it were home squeezed through the crowd and the peony, so persevering, arduous, arduous, and arduous struggle firmly passed by the Tianxiang Pavilion?!
Mu Kongjian secretly vomited a mouthful of blood, but he had to thank Yongcheng Hou on this topic.
Zhuo Zhaojie was frightened here, but the Marquis of Yongcheng and Mu Kongjian had finished their greetings, and they didn't even glance at her, the more so, the more Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know what to do - she dealt with the elders among the foreign men, and it was just like officially seeing Su Shina before, anyway, there were the elders of her own family watching, saluting, greetings, receiving the greeting gift, or no greeting gift, the 'waiter' stood back to the elders, listened to a few polite compliments that were mostly not new, and appropriately blushed and sprinkled a little coquettish...... Occasionally, a few compliments, anyway, the main chatter and entertainment have their own elders, and she, like many juniors, is just there to make a set for the elders to show off, sometimes for their parents to show off, sometimes to show off to the guests, and sometimes to show the guests that they have become a good family...... Or sometimes? Maybe my parents just want to get back the gift they gave out......
All in all, she is very nervous now, the problem is that Yongcheng Hou didn't ask her anything, she didn't say anything, she will start to answer with a red face and a shy look...... Zhuo Zhaojie thinks that he has not been fierce to the point of Zhao Caolu......
Zhuo Zhaojie was sitting on pins and needles freely, and the Marquis of Yongcheng had already finished greeting Mu Kongjian, his eyes naturally looked around, and he smiled indifferently: "You are all together today?" ”
Ning Shaobi said lukewarmly: "Father, Mu Sanniang is fine, and my father is going back to accompany my grandmother?" ”
He drove people so unceremoniously, seeing that the face of the Marquis of Yongcheng quickly sank, the king of Zhending County secretly screamed bitterly, for fear that the father and son would pinch it up first, and asked the king of Yanchang to see a ready-made joke, and quickly rounded the field: "Uncle cousin, the 'flower' tea in the Tianxiang Pavilion is good, Uncle Cousin tastes it?" ”
In front of people, if you don't give Ning Shaobi face, you always have to give face to the king of Zhending County, Yongcheng Hou just glared at Ning Shaobi fiercely, and took a sip of 'flower' tea without saying a word - he also saw that Ning Shaobi didn't want to stay for a long time, so he put down the tea bowl and said directly: "This little lady looks at her eyes?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was suddenly awe-inspiring, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "The little 'female' Zhuo Zhaojie has seen the prince!" ”
Yongcheng Hou looked at her indifferently and said, "Oh, your surname is Zhuo?" I don't know who my father and brother are? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was about to answer, but he didn't want Ning Yaobi to 'interject' and said, "Didn't you already know?" Even Zhaojie is from the Zhuo family's fourth room, Yu Jiangnan, has inquired, and now he is still asking why is this? ”
…… The Marquis of Yongcheng almost failed to maintain the image of an indifferent and alienated elder, and he was about to smash the tea bowl over!
King Zhending wiped his cold sweat and said with a forced smile: "Uncle Cousin, it's not bad to look at this rose 'dew', Uncle Cousin, please taste it!" ”
Mrs. Zhao made a look, and the waiter was busy pouring a rose 'dew' for the Marquis of Yongcheng, Mu Kongjian and Fan Deyi did not squint, and raised the lamp while looking solemn, and praised the rose 'dew' of the Tianxiang Pavilion loudly, trying to dilute the embarrassing atmosphere.
Thinking of the face of the king of Zhending, the Marquis of Yongcheng suppressed his anger in the end, and snorted without knowing the taste - Zhuo Zhaojie secretly pulled Ning Shaobi and said respectfully: "My father is a doctor, and his name is on the courtesy, the eldest brother Xuande Lang Zhuo Zhaoqian, and the second brother Zhuo Zhaocui, who has no fame." ”
Yongcheng Hou snorted and said, "Really? Then why didn't you follow your second brother Zhuo Zhaocui, but instead ran here? He pointed to the private room of the king of Yanchang County, "Your second brother is now inside, why is it difficult for you, a little lady, not to follow her brother, but to come here to join in the fun?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie's face turned red all of a sudden-Ning Shaobi said coldly: "I invited Zhaojie to come, and this private room was also set by me, and the Duke of Qi Guo is not here today, father, didn't you follow your eldest brother, but came here?" And didn't my father say to send Mu Sanniang up? Now that everyone has arrived, does my father want to stay and join in the fun? ”
…… King Zhending shouted: "Uncle Cousin! Quickly picked up a plate of rose cakes in person, rushed to the Marquis of Yongcheng with lightning speed, and said solemnly, "I think this pastry is very good, I can bring some back to the palace to honor my mother and grandmother, what does my cousin think?" ”
Mu Kongjian and Fan Deyi also seemed to suddenly find out that the appraisal of the plate of rose cake was a major event related to the livelihood of the society, and they got up one after another, surrounded the Marquis of Yongcheng and said: "Please also ask the Marquis to taste!" ”
Zhao Caolu, who has always done whatever the king of Zhending County says, did not go up to help this time, but hesitated before picking up a plate of pastries next to him, and said sneeringly: "This ...... It's better to take a look at this peony cake, it's just the right time today. ”
King Zhending frowned, just followed Zhao Caolu's hint and looked over, only to find that he was in a hurry just now, and although it was indeed a rose cake in a hurry, there were two or three pieces in it that had been bitten into a small bite...... This is Zhao Caolu's habit of eating, she doesn't like to finish eating, she just eats a little bit of everything......
