He Danggui remembered that Baoding Bo Mengshan had eleven sons, and this seventh son, Meng Xuan, should be his sister-in-law, but why was the little general of the dignified Bofu chased and killed by Jinyiwei?

As far as she knows, Meng Shan is brave and good at fighting, is the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, and is also one of the few founding heroes with heavy troops, Liu Bowen, Lu Zhongheng, Chen Huan and others who were awarded at the same time as him have been degraded, and this Meng Shan is a rare evergreen tree in the government and the opposition, since 30 years ago with Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, he has always been a saint. It can be called a miracle that he can be trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, who is extremely suspicious, and has maintained it for thirty consecutive years, which can be called a miracle, which shows that Meng Shan is by no means simple, and he is very different from ordinary reckless men who lead troops to fight.

Take a closer look at Meng Shan's face, the heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the long eyelashes are deep, he should be a beautiful man when he was young, no wonder the son Meng Xuan was handsome like a female doll, and his facial features are so delicate that he seems to be a character cut out of a painting, it is estimated that if he changes into a woman's clothes, he will even be compared, He Angelica pouted and thought like this. Fortunately, he was in a coma when he rescued him that day, otherwise he would have suddenly burst out today with a sentence "I have seen this sister before!" "I don't know how to get through, after all, it is a felony to obstruct Jinyiwei's case.

At this time, Fake Fengyang and Ning Yuan walked into the hall and sat on the seat opposite Meng Shan's father and son. He Angelica put the chrysanthemum cake on his face, and on the other hand, he used the chrysanthemum cake to look at Meng Xuan's expression, only to see his clear ink pupils stop for a moment on Ning Yuan's face similar to Lu Jiangbei for a moment, and then as if he was sure that Ning Yuan was not Lu Jiangbei, he breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the wine glass and looked up. He Angelica saw it in his eyes and was even more convinced that he was the seriously injured young man who was chased and killed by Lu Jiangbei and others that day, and then hid in the grass. If she remembers correctly, Meng Shan is now the chief soldier stationed at Shanhaiguan, and he is leading his troops through Yangzhou to go to the coast of Fuzhou this time......

"Third sister!" A male duck's voice sounded in his ears, "Why don't you just look at it, isn't your chrysanthemum cake delicious?" Then eat my plate! Peng gradually held a plate of mandarin duck dumplings, ran from the opposite seat to the last seat on her side, pulled out a stool and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, why is your face not quite right, are you sick?" ”

He Angelica Leng was taken aback by him, and whispered angrily: "I just like to eat chrysanthemum cakes, I'm not sick, my face is tanned." ”

This scene fell in the eyes of the old lady, and it was clear that the two juniors had seen the right eye, and now they were whispering, and their hearts were immediately overjoyed. The old lady turned her head and saw Xuan Xiaogongzi, Peng Shi, Ning Yuan and several other children holding the wine jug and drinking endlessly, and couldn't help but worry: "The banquet hasn't started yet, and the brothers are not dizzy from drinking." So the old lady asked someone to replace the wine in front of everyone except Meng Shan with grape juice mixed with honey, and asked someone to ask Mama Tang when she could start the banquet.

Meng Xuan, Peng Shi, Ning Yuan, Fake Fengyang and others grabbed the newly raised grape juice at the same time and took a sip, and then Meng Xuan, Peng Shi, and Ning Yuan immediately frowned and put down their cups, such a sweet thing is only a woman willing to drink! Fake Wind drank most of the cup beautifully, and inadvertently raised his eyes to see that the other three were staring at him, so he put down his cup with some disdain.

Meng Xuan saw that his father was talking to Luo Lao Taijun about the old affairs of Luo Maitong, the world's first divine doctor, so he looked at Feng Yang, the young master of the Cao Gang who was sitting directly opposite him, and asked: "Gongzi must be the 'Whisking Willow Sword' Feng Yang that people in the rivers and lakes have been talking about recently, right?" ”

Fake Wind Yangmu nodded dumbly: "Hmm." ”

Meng Xuan smiled and said: "I heard that Feng Gongzi has studied art in Wudang Mountain for ten years, and he has the true biography of Jiao Youwu, the 'master of the people', and is the first comet figure in the rivers and lakes who has recently risen. The younger brother has been fond of Jiao's predecessors for a long time, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet him, and since he met Jiao's seniors' senior disciples today, he had to ask for two tricks, and he hoped that Feng Gongzi would not hesitate to give advice. ”

"Huh?" Fake Fengyang hesitated for a while, but when he looked at the slightly mocking eyes on the other side, he couldn't help but respond, "Okay, anyway, the banquet hasn't been held yet, so it's better to pass the time with two tricks!" "I'm also one of the few masters in Wu Yingge, are you still afraid of an eleven-year-old boy?

Ning Yuan immediately felt that something was wrong, since Meng Shan dared to put his youngest son on the battlefield, he must have full confidence in him, and besides, the kid on the other side had a shiny look in his eyes, which was clearly a manifestation of deep internal strength. Regardless of whether Mingyue can win against that kid or not, he shouldn't fight the other party with Feng Yang's identity, what if something goes wrong and leaks their secrets? So Ning Yuan immediately interrupted and said, "Feng Yang, didn't you say that you were dizzy today?" ”

Fake Fengyang's back stiffened when he heard this, and then he immediately understood what his master meant, and immediately covered his face and said, "Dizzy, so dizzy!" ”

The old lady was talking to Uncle Baoding, and she took time out of her busy schedule to shake her head in the direction of the fake wind and said, "Brother Yang, the old man has said that children should not drink, and now the stamina is up, right?" Someone, bring him a bowl of decanting soup! "Alas, children can drink, and now they have a decanting soup before the feast!

On the other side, Peng Shi turned his head and saw that on the last seat at the entrance of the hall, his younger brother was sitting there eating as if he had taken root, his mouth was stuffed with chrysanthemum cakes and he kept talking, because the environment in the hall was noisy and far away, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but looking at the stone statue-like expression of the third sister of Dongfu, it was estimated that he was very impatient with him. So, Peng Shi shouted through half of the hall: "Xiao Yan, come back quickly, our chess game is not finished yet!" “

Because everyone in the hall was waiting for the banquet to open and waiting for the state of boredom, even if they were talking, they were looking for something to say, and when they suddenly heard such a call, they were immediately attracted to attention, and turned their heads to look at Peng Yan, who was eating fragrantly, at the door of the main hall, and He Angelica, who bowed his head and studied his fingers. Peng gradually stopped eating or speaking, looked up at his brother with raised eyebrows, reluctantly got up, returned to his seat and continued to play the interrupted game of chess.

The chessboard was carved into the wall of the main hall at the level of the seated person, and the chess pieces were small semicircular balls that could be embedded in the grid. There are more than a dozen similar chessboards carved on the walls of the entire hall, but in Luofu, almost no one has ever used them to play chess, so they are pure decorations from the beginning of their making, and each one has been polished to the brightness of the crystal hall, and they look at the crowd of people waiting for the meal with empty bellies. On this side, Ning Yuan got inspiration from Peng Shi and the others, and also pulled the fake wind to play on one of the chessboards, so as not to chat with him again and talk about any flaws.

So, except for Meng Xuan in the main hall, everyone began to play or talk happily in pairs, of course, He Angelica sitting at the gate was not counted, because she had the ability to make herself more inconspicuous than the subordinate who served tea and poured wine, which was also the rule of survival in Luofu in her previous life. However, the old lady was very concerned about the situation in the main hall, and immediately noticed that Xiao Gongzi Xuan was not only sitting there alone in a daze, but also the cup of grape juice in his hand was full of sip.

Baoding Bo Mengshan is a distinguished guest who has not been met in Luofu for ten years, and his little son is also a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests, and his preciousness is even ranked above Brother Shi'er's brother and Brother Yang'er's Yuan'er, how can he feel bored and neglected? So the old lady caught the figure of her granddaughter at the door for the first time, and shouted across the entire hall: "Sister Yi! Didn't your mother teach you how to play chess? Hurry up and accompany Xiao Gongzi Xuan in the next game! ”

He Angelica was summoned, slowly moved to the table of Baoding Bo, looked at the beautiful eleven-year-old boy, and patiently asked, "(Children) Do you want to play chess?" ”

The pretty boy nodded: "Whatever." "Playing chess can pass the time, but he doesn't want to play chess with a ten-year-old child.

"Oh," He Angelica also nodded, "Actually, I'm casual." ”

The pretty boy was bored for a moment, maybe he was really bored at this moment, even if his opponent's intelligence was only ten years old, he wanted to play a game of chess to pass the time, so he asked, "(Little sister) Which board shall we use to play?" ”

He Angelica tilted his head and said, "Whatever." ”

Meng Xuan also tilted his head, said no more, and walked straight to the largest chessboard in the main hall, which was as big as four or five of the other chessboards. He Angelica walked behind him, and found that the other party was a head taller than himself, and then thought of the other party's appearance that was more beautiful than himself, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: What is the anger of the little brat, I have also taken off your clothes.

The two stood on the edge of the large chessboard carved on the wall, Meng Xuan adjusted her gaze slightly, frowned and looked at each other, listening to the meaning of Luo Taijun's words just now, could it be that she had just learned to play chess? He Angelica saw that Meng Xuan seemed to be stuck again, so he took the initiative to take off the chess basket hanging on the wall and asked, "Do you use white or black?" Meng Xuan subconsciously replied: "Whatever." ”

He Angelica rolled his eyes, reached out to take the sunspot, and found that the other party's hand also stretched out to the sunspot, so he turned his hand to take the white, but there were two fingers hanging above the white, so she simply stopped and let the other party choose first, only to see that the hand paused slightly, and then grabbed a handful of sunspots. The last time it was late on the mountain road, so I didn't pay attention to his hands, but now I looked closely, only to find that his fingers were not as white and tender as the average boy, and many joints had a thick layer of calluses. Moreover, compared to the few masters she had seen, such as Lu Jiangbei, Duan Xiaolou and Ning Yuan, there were more and rougher cocoons on his hands, which showed that he was really diligent.

Then, it was time to set the chess game first, this time He Angelica didn't bother to ask him for his opinion again, turned around and went to the fruit plate on the table to pick two slender leaves, knotted the leaves into a cross, and handed one of them to the other party, saying: "Let's fight the grass, whoever wins will be the first!" Meng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself, has he been reduced to the point of drinking sweetened fruit juice and then playing grass with little girls?

The hands of the two of them each held one end of the blade of grass and pulled it back, and with a "snap", the grass in He Angelica's hand broke, so she nodded and said, "You go down first." "Anyway, even if he is twenty sons, he will not want to win himself.

At this time, Bao Dingbo got up to change clothes, and the old lady hurriedly walked out of the hall to find Mama Tang, and asked in one breath: "Hongjiang, what are you doing?" Why hasn't the feast been held yet? What about Sister Ying'er, Sister Qiong'er and her ex-brother? What about the second daughter-in-law? The grape juice guests just now don't like to drink it, are there any other drinks? ”

Mama Tang spread her hands with a bitter face and said: "The kitchen steward was newly replaced by the Yangwu family five days ago, and now she has nothing to do, and when she meets such a big banquet, the kitchen is even more chaotic, so I have to ask the guests to stay for a while." It's not the same to let them wait, but there are few gentlemen in our family, and there are no dancing girls and singers, otherwise, I will call that group of actors to sing a big drama for the fourth lady to sing a few times? ”

The old lady waved her hand and said: "Now they are all playing chess, and they are having fun, I have a headache when I listen to the plays sung by Sister Shao'er, Ming'er will send those people away, Sister Shao'er should also go to the academy to study when she comes back from the Taoist temple!" ”

Mama Tang continued to report on the question just now: "The second lady went back to her parents' house at noon, and she was in a hurry and didn't have time to take leave from you, I don't know what happened to the Sun family; The eldest young master was not at home all day, and his personal servant Xionghuang didn't know where he had gone; The eldest lady sent someone back and forth to say that since she fell into the water that day, the eldest lady's body has not been very good, and she was afraid of losing her temper during the banquet, so she didn't come to join in the fun. ”

"What about Sister Joan?" The old lady was irritable, and there was no one to do at the critical moment! None of the eldest men are at home, the eldest is still busy in Sanqingtang, and the second is going to tinker with his business again!

Mama Tang wiped her sweat and replied: "The second miss naturally announced that she was coming early in the morning, but she never picked the clothes she wanted, and now she is still choosing clothes!" ”

The old lady instructed in a deep voice: "Send someone to urge Sister Qiong, and then send someone to help in the kitchen, and tell the Yang Wu family that the grade of the mat can be moderately reduced, but it must be served as soon as possible. ”

Mama Tang nodded yes, then remembered something, and asked, "Since the guests don't like to drink fruit juice, and desserts should not be served before meals, why don't you make them some red fruit tea to drink?" ”

"Red fruit tea?" The old lady was confused.

"That's right," Mama Tang reminded, "It's the kind of red fruit tea that the third miss gave you in the carriage last time, and the third miss made two catties of red fruit tea a few days ago, and asked people to send the licorice in the tea water to Fushouyuan, and now you haven't drunk it once." The aroma of that tea is fragrant, refreshing, I want to hold it up and drink it when I smell it, you and I are full of praise after drinking it, and I can also rush to the guests to taste it. ”

"Okay, then you go and prepare!" The old lady saw that Uncle Baoding had come back from changing clothes, and waved her hand at Mama Tang in a panic, "Then go to the kitchen to urge!" ”

The old lady turned around and walked into the Xinrong Hall quickly, and was surprised to find that Peng Shi and Ning Yuan, who were still playing chess just now, were all not playing chess now, and the four of them were all gathered behind Xuan Xiaogongzi and Sister Yi, pointing at the big chessboard on the wall and not knowing what they were talking about, what was going on?
