Chapter Seventy-One: A Family Banquet with Constant Farce
Since you want to meet those people in the Ming Mansion who have their own ghosts, you naturally have to dress up well.
Mingyue Ke changed into the golden peony palace skirt with pomegranate flowers and burning pomegranate flowers given by the prince Xiao Shaojun, and even wore a green feather hair tassel as a decoration.
A red jade agate pendant on the forehead is decorated, and it looks good in a flash.
Seeing that noon was coming, Mingyue Ke also set off to the flower hall in the backyard of the Ming Mansion to eat.
Mingyue Ke came in time, not early or late, but many people in the Ming Mansion had already taken their seats.
Glancing around, it seemed that apart from her, the old lady had not yet arrived.
However, my grandmother has always been of high seniority, and her status in the Ming Mansion is noble, and it is normal for everyone to wait for her grandmother.
Even Aunt An, who has always been neglected, was notified this time, it seems that today's banquet is really a Hongmen banquet.
Because the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen was grounded, she did not appear in the banquet.
Tomorrow Wei will sit on the right hand side of Ming Xiang, and Ming Xiang will sit next to the main seat, and the main seat will not be thought about without thinking, and it will be left to grandmother Ming Lao Taijun.
And the other empty position left is on the other side where the three sisters of Ming Mingwei, Ming Xiyue, and Ming Zhenru are sitting.
It was next to Ming Zhenru, the fourth lady of the Ming Mansion, and the fifth lady Ming Chulu.
There are a total of seven golden flowers in the Ming Mansion, which means that Ming Xiang has seven daughters.
The youngest are all about eight or nine years old.
Five of them are the eldest lady of the Ming Mansion.
Needless to say, the three sisters of Ming Wei, Ming Xiyue and Ming Zhenru are good daughters raised by the Bai family.
The fifth lady appeared at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and she was in the prime of her cardamom years, and she was born by the second lady of the Ming Mansion.
In the previous life, there was no contact between Mingyue Ke and the fifth sister, and it belonged to the kind of well water that did not interfere with river water.
The second lady of the Ming Mansion, Shen Shi, was a smart person, and when the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen was in charge of the internal affairs of the Ming Mansion, she chose the route of Ming Zhe to protect herself.
's unassuming temperament also made the Bai family relax their vigilance against the second lady Shen.
Because in this Ming Mansion, for the eldest lady Bai Shi, there has always been only one enemy in her eyes.
That is the white moonlight in Ming Xiang's heart - Qin Huaiyu, the daughter of Ying Mugong.
So by the way, even Mingyue Ke hated it, not to mention that Mingyue Ke was still the eldest daughter of the Ming Mansion?
Because of Mingyue Ke's existence, it has blocked the status of her daughter Ming Mingwei, so the Bai family must find a way to get rid of Mingyue Ke.
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Mingyue Ke naturally had no choice, and it seemed that he could only sit between Ming Zhenru and Ming Chulu for the time being.
In fact, this kind of position arrangement is wrong, logically speaking, Mingyue Ke, as the eldest daughter of the Ming Mansion, is the one who should sit next to Mingxiang.
In the case that there is no eldest son in the Ming Mansion in the mansion, shouldn't the most noble status among the younger generation be the eldest daughter?
But Mingyue Ke didn't want to care about this.
Although this is obviously deliberately done by the Wei sisters tomorrow, the purpose is to show everyone's status in the Ming Mansion from this seat.
They want to inform Mingyue Ke in this way that they can suppress Mingyue Ke.
But in Mingyueke's opinion, this is simply a child's trick.
What's more, Mingyue Ke is actually not interested in this position.
The less she cares, the more the other party will not be able to succeed.
And speaking of which, Ming Yueke still has a little mind in his heart, and he doesn't want to sit down next to Ming Xiang.
Otherwise, the father and daughter have not communicated for many years, and when they came back this time, Mingyueke repeatedly made such a big fuss.
I'm afraid that the father and daughter will only be embarrassed and speechless.
So Mingyueke still wants to thank Tomorrow Wei for helping her solve this embarrassment.
At this time, Mingyue Ke settled down and prepared to walk towards his position.
However, before he could move his pace, he heard a strange female voice.
"In the end, the eldest lady is different from the other people in the mansion, and she has made Xiangye wait for so long. ”
The female voice who spoke was the seventh aunt in the house.
In terms of qualifications, the seventh aunt was the latest to enter the Ming Mansion, and naturally she was the youngest.
But this seventh aunt is too young and beautiful, but she is deeply favored by Mingxiang, so she is also pampered and proud.
Usually, when the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen is there, she will be slightly restrained.
Now, the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen has fallen out of favor and has been grounded, so this seventh aunt naturally has no opponents.
I felt a little lonely, and when I saw the younger and more beautiful eldest lady Mingyue Ke, my heart was a little sour.
Since giving birth to the fifth son of the Ming Mansion two years ago, his figure has been a little out of shape.
If it weren't for the appearance of other aunts in the Ming Mansion who were not as good as the seventh aunt, then her status would be really worrying.
However, the seventh aunt heard that Ming Xiang recently wanted to take a concubine.
The seventh aunt was a little anxious.
So at this time, I was even more flustered and irritable.
Naturally, when she saw the eldest lady, Mingyue Ke couldn't hold back and said a few words.
And after Aunt Qi finished speaking, I saw that everyone in the Ming Mansion at the table changed their faces.
Mingxiang's face was a little unsightly.
He originally saw that Mingyue Ke was late, and his heart was a little unhappy, but when he thought of it, everyone came early today.
In fact, Mingyue Ke was not late.
In addition, Mingyue Ke is about to become the crown princess.
Ming Xiang also thought about turning a blind eye and this matter was over.
But this seventh aunt, I didn't expect which pot to open and which pot to mention.
At this time, the atmosphere in the entire Ming Mansion Flower Hall fell into embarrassment.
And tomorrow Wei and Ming Zhenru's faces showed playful smiles.
They all looked at Mingyue Ke in front of them mockingly, wanting to see how she was going to explain this time.
And Ming Xiyue's face didn't have any more reactions, it seemed that she was born with a cooler temperament.
I don't like joy, sorrow, or sorrow.
As for the people in the other courtyards, they all watched with an attitude of watching the show.
They are respectful of this eldest lady.
After all, although Mingyue Ke is the eldest daughter in the Ming Mansion, she will marry after all.
When she was in the Ming Mansion, the identity of the eldest lady was naturally much more noble than that of their aunts.
"Blame me, this morning I forcibly left the eldest lady to drink two more cups of tea in the small lotus garden, which delayed the eldest lady's time. ”
Before Mingyueke responded, someone defended her one step ahead of Mingyueke.
And this person is Aunt An.
If it is a seniority, Aunt An is the fourth aunt in the house.
I saw that after Aunt An finished speaking, Aunt Seven snorted coldly.
"I'm talking to Xiangye, what's your share?"
Aunt Seven looked at Aunt An in front of her, but her heart was full of disgust.
Although this Aunt An entered the house more than ten years earlier than her, she has never seen Aunt An pampered by her since she entered the house.
It's just that this Aunt An's appearance is not lost to her, so naturally she will mind a little.
Aunt Qi thought, anyway, this Aunt An is not a corner, if it weren't for the family banquet held by the eldest lady Mingyue Ke today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see her on this important occasion.
So Aunt Seventh didn't put Aunt An in her eyes, and even scolded the other party directly.
Now it was Mingyue Kelai's turn to frown.
"Father, when did the Ming Mansion actually encourage this kind of atmosphere?"
"A concubine, dare to speak in public?"
Mingyue Ke didn't want to stand up and talk, but looking at Mingxiang like this, he was a little annoyed in his heart.
So when I opened my mouth to speak, I was faintly angry.
"Why is there such a big smell of foxes?"
Although Mingyue Ke did not name names, everyone present also knew who she was talking about.
is already a mother, but she is still wandering, dressed up the same as the women in the green building, and she is showing off all day long.
"I don't know, I thought I came to the Qinglou?"
Mingyue Ke sneered, and said mercilessly.
"Presumptuous, you..."
Aunt Seven yelled directly, pointed at Mingyue Ke and said.
But for a long time, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
At this time, Ming Xiang looked at this from the side, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
The seventh aunt he loved before was indeed because of the other party's good looks, coupled with the personality that was very different from the women in the house who only knew their husbands and children.
That's why I get a little bit of preference from Mingxiang.
But in the end, Ming Xiang still prefers more docile women.
At this time, looking at the seventh aunt in front of me, I was a little bored.
"Okay, let's not say a word. ”
Ming Xiang also said impatiently.
This sentence was naturally said to the seventh aunt on the side.
Afterwards, Ming Xiang also looked at Mingyue Ke on the side.
Then he spoke.
"Take a seat, Cole, too, and when your grandmother comes, the feast will begin." ”
After listening to Ming Xiang's words, Ming Yueke also nodded.
In front of the Ming Mansion, the face that should be given should still be given.
What's more, Ming Xiangke has also paved the steps.
Mingyue Ke no longer paid too much attention to the little role of Aunt Seven.
In fact, in this house, I'm afraid that the seventh aunt herself doesn't know.
In fact, for Ming Xiang, the pampering she gets is no different from the pampering that a pet gets from its owner.
Shouldn't she really get a little more favor from Mingxiang, and she will become different, right?
But after all, she's just an aunt.
It's not on the table.
Therefore, Mingyue Ke will not worry so much about the other party.
He went straight to his seat.
As Mingyue Ke walked, she saw that there was a foot, but it quietly stretched out and put it on the road she was going to pass.
And the owner of this foot is undoubtedly Ming Zhenru.
A glimmer of light flashed in Mingyue Ke's eyes.
Originally, I thought that I didn't want to fight with the three sisters today.
But unfortunately, the other party ran over and took the initiative to stir up trouble.
Will she be able to endure this?
Mingyue Ke deliberately took a step, and he was about to settle down, and he was about to trip over Ming Zhenru.
And the consequence of stumbling is naturally to be thrown on the table.
But in the next second, I heard a howl like killing a pig.
"Ahh
"Mingyue Ke!
Ming Zhenru's tears of pain were about to fall, and she pointed at Mingyue Ke and questioned the other party.
And the other people around also looked at Ming Zhenru's strange behavior, and their faces showed puzzled expressions.
Naturally, all the people around them didn't know what was going on.
"I'm going my way, what's wrong with me?"
"Oh, I think I stepped on something soft just now. ”
"It can't be your feet, right?"
"By the way, how can your feet end up under my seat?"
Mingyue Ke naturally debunked Ming Zhenru in front of him without mercy.
And after Mingyue Ke finished speaking, everyone also understood what was going on.
It turned out that it was Ming Zhenru who took the initiative to stretch out his foot and wanted to trip Mingyue Ke.
But instead, he was stepped on by Mingyue Ke, and screamed in pain.
Although everyone didn't show it on the surface.
But secretly, in fact, they are all snickering, and they all secretly scold that Ming Zhenru really deserves it.
Because Ming Zhenru has been pampered by the Bai family since she was a child, and she is spoiled to the point that everyone can't stand her bad temper.
What's more, Ming Zhenru has had a problem of liking to rob other people's things since she was a child, so she naturally loves to rob everything.
I fell in love with the things in the yard, and I didn't even say hello, so I moved back to my residence.
So in fact, in this Ming Mansion, no one will like this fourth young lady.
Everyone saw that Ming Zhenru was degraded, so they were all secretly happy.
And Ming Xiang frowned even more.
"Ru'er, you're messing around again, even if it's a joke, you have to have a degree. ”
"Also, what kind of body is it for the girls to shout and scream?"
"Don't sit down yet. ”
Ming said to Ming Zhenru reprimanded.
After that, he looked at Mingyue Ke.
"Cole, sit down, too. ”
After Ming Xiang finished speaking, Mingyue Ke also nodded and sat down.
And that Ming Zhenru pouted even more, looking unhappy.
Wasn't she so naughty in the past?
None of her father ever murdered her.
And at that time, there was also his mother Bai to protect him, so no matter how fierce the trouble was, he could be safe and sound.
But now, how did it become like this?
Ming Zhenru was a little angry in her heart, but she counted all the losses she would suffer today on Ming Yueke's head.
But she never thought that at the beginning, it was she who provoked Mingyue Ke herself.
If she hadn't provoked Mingyue Ke, how could she be reprimanded by Ming Xiang?
About a quarter of an hour later, Old Taijun Ming was late.
It can be seen that Mrs. Ming's complexion today is very good.
Because of Mingyue Ke's recovery today, and he also went to visit her, the old lady's face was always full of smiles.
After Mrs. Ming came, she naturally sat down directly.
Of course, no one dared to say anything more.
