The banquet was placed in the back garden of King Xin's mansion. At this time, the spring in Beijing is cold, warm and cold, the back garden of the Xinwang Mansion naturally shows the royal atmosphere, the flowers in the garden are red and willow green, the peach and plum bloom in turn, the begonias in Xifu are drooping, and there are more herbs and flowers dotted among them, although Song Haonian said that he could not go out of the door, but in his eyes, he only felt that he could not speak

Comfortable, every place is better than the painting.

It's just the same, the cold wind in the north is like a knife, and the wind blows on the face and still has some stinging, Song Haonian is worried that he can't stand the wind, but seeing that the king and the princess are full of relief, they press down the conversation, thinking that they will have to hide Ruzhen in their arms later.

I didn't want to turn a delicate rockery, and suddenly there was a pavilion with carved beams and paintings, flying eaves and corners, and large pieces of crystal glass were embedded in the windows on all sides.

King Xin said: "I can burn small pieces of glass and glass in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor's brother Tianzong is a talent, improving the glass firing technology, and now the people in Beijing are more inlaid with glass in the window, which is bright and warm." ”

He admired the emperor a lot in his words, and Song Haonian couldn't help nodding and said: "My daughter-in-law also has a glass mirror, which is very clear when she shines on people, which is all the kindness of the emperor." ”

The father and son, one who was rich and five cars, tried to say some common words so that the son who was longer than the people could understand and the other was not very literate, and thought about replacing all the foul words with good words, so as not to believe in the king. In the matter of worshipping the Son of the day, it is exactly the same.

King Xin took the princess and her children and grandchildren into the pavilion, which was already splendidly decorated, and the princess of King Xin specially arranged a small table for each person, and listed a few boxes on it, which was both exquisite and could take care of everyone's taste.

Princess Xin hugged Ruzhen over again, and asked Song Haonian and Lily to sit closest to them, and the rest of the people sat down in turn.

The pavilion was as warm as spring, and the gilded Boshan furnace spit out a rich aroma, and Ruzhen was very curious, and kept looking around, trying to find out the source of the fragrance.

Dozens of maids in colorful clothes stood quietly with their hands down, all dressed in palace costumes, and did not hear a word.

King Xin smiled before he picked up his wine glass, and suddenly someone outside came to report: "Lord Zhaoren has returned." ”

Princess Zhou said happily: "Hurry up and call her in to see her second brother!" and said to Song Haonian, "Zhaoren is your little sister, named Shujiao, born in the nineteenth year of the Apocalypse, this girl has a wild temperament, refuses to go home all day long, and only runs to the girls' school, I told her before that, you have to go home in the next two days, tell her to come back early, look at her, hurry up, it's later than you."

Some. ”

The lord of Zhaoren is the youngest child of Princess Shin, and he has always been very favored, but Princess Shin has a resentful tone, and he has never really blamed her.

King Xin loves this daughter for ten minutes, and even though he has always been polite, he can't see people who have no rules, and he is reluctant to criticize Zhaoren.

After a while, I saw a group of maids come in with a girl who was looking forward to Shenfei, she was born like Princess Zhou, but her complexion was not as fair as Princess Zhou's, and her eyes were more like King Xin.

The girl was impatient with the slow pace of the maids, and rushed forward to greet the king and the princess first: "Father, mother, daughter is back!"

He turned around and stared at Song Haonian for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Second brother?"

Song Haonian originally only had one sister, Song Xiuxiu, and the two brothers and sisters were like enemies, Song Xiuxiu tossed Song Haonian and never relented, and he had to find something for him if he had nothing to do. After going through hardships later, Song Xiuxiu became sensible, but unfortunately by that time, Song Haonian was no longer her son.

Song Haonian originally thought that this county lord's mother was a hundred times more noble than Song Xiuxiu, but she was afraid that her temper would be a hundred times greater. Unexpectedly, this pampered county lord was not arrogant at all, but readily accepted his identity, and quickly stood up and said, "Sister." ”

Zhaoren was very happy: "I heard my father mention you when I was a child, second brother, you really look like someone from our family!"

Her eyes were joyful and her speech was bright, not much different from the folk women that Song Haonian was used to, and it was not as bullying as expected, Song Haonian couldn't help but feel relieved.

Princess Zhou said angrily: "He is your own brother, why doesn't he look like someone from our family?"

Zhaoren didn't reply either, and sat down beside Princess Xin with a smile and coquettishness, and teased Ruzhen curiously, his lips and tongue flicked, making all kinds of strange sounds.

If you really have a good temperament, you only giggle when you hear the movement, and you don't have the slightest intention of crying.

Xinwang Shizi said: "Little sister, I said that I would welcome the second brother, but you only came back at this time, and you should be punished for drinking." ”

Zhaoren smiled: "I didn't run around. As he spoke, he ordered the maid to bring the food box.

The maid took out a few plates of snacks from the food box and put them in front of everyone in turn, Song Haonian looked at it intently, and saw that the pink and pure white colors were coiled into a snail shell, which was very beautiful.

Zhaoren said proudly: "I picked these plates of ghee pickled snails by myself, and it took several days of hard work to finally catch up with my second brother to go home, and it wasn't my work in vain." ”

Song Haonian was moved in his heart: "If you don't do this, I'm happy to see you." ”

King Xin smiled: "It's rare that Zhaoren is willing to cook, you all try it quickly." "The county lord of Zhaoren is obsessed with women's learning, and he refuses to bother at all about the needlework female worker, "If it weren't for Brother Xuan'er coming back this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to eat Zhaoren's craftsmanship." ”

There was a lot of ridicule in King Xin's words, and Zhaoren immediately stopped doing it, and said angrily: "Since my father said so, unless my second brother takes care of me in the future, I won't cook again, even my father won't think about it!"

King Xin laughed and said repeatedly, "It's my father's fault." ”

Zhaoren was happy at this time, and urged everyone to try her craftsmanship quickly.

King Rongjun is only two years older than Zhaoren, and he is usually lively, and the two brothers and sisters are aggressive, and they laughed: "What are you urging us to do?

Zhaoren was so angry that he wanted to argue with him, but Princess Zhou hurriedly held her down: "If you want to make trouble, you will make trouble again in your spare time, your second brother will come back today, let's go back to the family banquet, don't mess around." ”

Lily picked up a butter bubble snail and put it in her mouth, this thing melts in the mouth, fragrant and sweet, the taste is very similar to cream, and the shape is also a little like a piping on the cream. She pondered, turned around and asked Zhaoren how to make this thing, and she could make it and eat it herself when she turned around. Zhaoren didn't know that Lily had such a simple mind in her heart, she had seen Lily earlier, but she didn't know her mother's attitude towards Lily, so she didn't greet her, and at this time she sat next to Princess Zhou and laughed a few words, so she smiled and said to Lily: "Second sister-in-law, they are hateful to several men, I only listen to you."

, do you think the snails I picked are good?"

Lily put down her chopsticks and said, "The appearance is also handsome, the color is good, the taste is also fragrant, and there is nothing bad about it." ”

Zhaoren couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, my hard work in the past few days has not been in vain. ”

At the banquet, there was a sound of music from a distance, and everyone looked at Song Haonian and his wife attentively, only to see that although they did not understand the court etiquette, they were also polite and polite, and they had not gobbled up, which was very different from the expected appearance of Zhongyun.

Princess Zhou thought with satisfaction, in the end, it was the blood of the Heavenly Family, and she had never been the same as a farmer after being in the people for many years.

She didn't know that this was because Song Haonian had a good life in the past two years, as the saying goes, the body moved to nourish the qi, and when Lily married him, he really devoured his meals, and it seemed that he wanted to eat a bowl.

In the past two years, they have slowly improved, and they have eaten sweetly, but they are not as disrespectful as starving people, and seeing that their husbands and wives have good appetites, even King Xin and the princess use a few more bites.

After eating, King Xin said, "You two have come from afar, are you tired? ”

Princess Zhou's mother and son reunited, and they couldn't leave Song Haonian for a moment, so they got up and said, "I'll take Brother Xuan to his room." ”

Princess Xin personally arranged for her son and daughter-in-law, and the prince and concubine did not dare to be idle, they all listened to the instructions on the sidelines, and the remaining county kings and county lords also liked to join in the fun, and a large group of people crowded to the courtyard prepared for Song Haonian.

When King Shin saw this posture, he followed suit: he also wanted to communicate more with his lost son.

Princess Zhou knew that Brother Xuan was still alive on the day, so she urged King Xin several times to pick up his son back, and King Xin said: "Send someone to pick it up early, otherwise where do I know what Brother Xuan has been doing all these years." Princess Xin quickly arranged the Gantang Courtyard for her son to live in, every piece of furniture and curtains were personally inspected by her, and the brocade clothes sent up from the bottom were inspected layer by layer, she was still not at ease, a pair of jade hands touched every seam, lest she leave a thread, and she was wronged until she finally returned

The son of the family.

Begonias are planted all over the courtyard of this gantang, and one tree by one is very luxuriant, light red and pink, and it is very beautiful.

Princess Zhou didn't know if Song Haonian loved this flower, she was a little hesitant, and Lily smiled beside her: "We also have a begonia tree planted at home, and he loves it very much." ”

Princess Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, took her son's family into the house, checked inside and out, summoned the maids and servants who were serving in the courtyard, and repeatedly told them to serve well, and not to be disobedient and lazy.

Song Haonian said: "Don't worry, any room here is very good, and I don't have anything I can't get used to." ”

Princess Zhou's eyes turned red: "How much has my son suffered......

Song Haonian was self-defeating, and couldn't help but look at Lily in a panic, Lily shook his head at him, and motioned for him to look at Lord Zhaoren.

Sure enough, at this time, Zhaoren had to be able to coax Princess Zhou, she said: "Mother, it's a happy event for the second brother to go home, what do you always do when you mention those bad things in the past?

Only then did Princess Zhou stop her tears, told Song Haonian and his wife to rest, and assigned the grandmother who had to be used by her side to stay, suppress the disobedient slaves, and send two nurses to help Lily take care of Ruzhen, so she left step by step.

Song Haonian and Lily stood in front of the door and watched her go away, only to hear the county lord of Zhaoren gag: "Mother concubine go faster, the second brother will live at home, and he will not lose it again, what are you doing like this?" Princess Zhou said: "I am like a dream today, for fear that if I am not careful, I will wake up from a sweet dream, and your second brother will not see ......"
