Chapter 184: The Begging Festival (Part II)
"It's okay to learn more from me, and it's good to quarrel in the future."
Not ashamed, but proud, Tang Lei couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart that he really liked this hot feeling.
Compared with the previous ones, this banquet meeting was very relaxed, and after several eunuchs and palace maids in charge of eating arranged the scene, they retreated. The sons and ladies who participated in the banquet scattered in twos and threes.
Unlike the previous men and women, no one cared about these things at this night party, and it was good to meet the person you liked and talk.
Most of them are young ladies who throw olive branches to the young ladies, and a very small number of young ladies take the initiative to talk to the princess, but these are very few.
"The fourth princess didn't say before that the county lord of Jiahe was accompanied by a man."
Qin Ao frowned slightly, looked at Li Youran in the distance, and whispered to the little guy beside him.
"It happened suddenly, and we waited and saw what happened."
The man dressed as Xiao Si beside him stared at Li Youran and said leisurely, Qin Ao nodded, did not speak, dispelled the idea of taking the initiative to talk to Li Youran, and waited quietly on the side.
"Feng Gongzi, our young lady suddenly felt unwell, rested under the big tree by the bridge, and begged Cheng Gongzi to help take a look."
Just when Feng Yu was about to go to Li Youran, the maid next to Guo Xiaoxiao looked anxious and ran over to Feng Yu and said.
"Feng Gongzi, our lord's status is low, these noble ladies look down on us, and our young lady here has no other people she knows, so she can only come to trouble you."
The little maid saw that Feng Yu was unmoved, so she said to Feng Yu with a sincere face.
Ever since Feng Yu met Guo Xiaoxiao, he knew that things were not so simple, he didn't expect it to be so fast, and then he made a move.
Feng Yu, who was originally going to refuse, thought to himself that if he blindly retreated, he didn't know what tricks he would play next, so it was better to see what tricks he Guo Xiaoxiao would play.
So Feng Yu followed the little maid and walked towards the opposite side.
"Oh no, it's overboard, come and save people."
"It looks like someone has fallen into the water by the lake, let's go over and have a look."
Li Youran said as he hurriedly lifted his skirt and ran towards the lake.
"I didn't expect you to be such a warm-hearted person."
Tang Lei, who was following behind Li Youran, couldn't help but praise Li Youran's panicked figure, so he followed closely behind Li Youran and walked towards the lake together.
Xiaohong, who was slow down, couldn't help but pout when she heard Tang Lei's words, the lively expression on the face of the county lord of Xindao couldn't be more obvious, but she was really blinded by love!
"It's big brother."
After Feng Yun arrived, he saw that among Ruoshui's men and women, the man was the eldest brother Feng Yu, he didn't have time to think about it, and jumped down directly.
Jiang Qianqian, who was standing on the shore, frowned slightly, why did Feng Yu fall into the water with a strange woman? This is no small matter.
She looked up at the crowd and walked around, but she didn't see Li Youran's figure. At this moment, she suddenly saw a long purple dress swaying towards her.
"It's like a duck."
After Jiang Qianqian saw the purple figure clearly, she couldn't help laughing, and she wanted to talk about it.
God is fair, how can a person be perfect enough to have no flaws.
Li Youran, who is as beautiful as a fairy on weekdays, no one can imagine that her biggest shortcoming is that she runs and sways on the road, which is really unimpressive.
I saw that Li Youran stopped when he ran to the crowd, and returned to his previous dignified atmosphere.
"Feng Yu, why did you fall into the water with this woman, where did you go leisurely?"
Zhou Caidie was not as steady as Jiang Qianqian, and when she saw that the woman who fell into the water with Feng Yu was actually a strange woman, she couldn't help but ask Feng Yu questions.
Originally, everyone was puzzled, but after Zhou Caidie opened this head, everyone started talking about it word by word.
"I know who this girl is, she is Zhou Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Lord Fuguo, her father was implicated and punished just a few days ago because of the matter set by the third prince. Supposedly he shouldn't have come to this banquet, so why was she here? β
"Isn't Feng Yu's fiancΓ©e the county lord of Jiahe? How could Guo Xiaoxiao and the others, lonely men and widows, do here? β
"Since ancient times, the male and female audiences have not been light, Feng Yu and Guo Xiaoxiao fell into the water together, even if there is nothing between the two, I am afraid that it will not be clear."
Li Youran, who rushed to join in the fun, never thought that she would actually eat her own melon. With doubts in my heart, I squeezed into the crowd and came to the front.
She saw Feng Yu and Guo Xiaoxiao sitting on the ground wet.
"Feng Gongzi, but what happened? The good ones fell into the water. β
Li Youran asked knowingly, and said to Feng Yu in an innocent tone.
Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but feel upset for Li Youran in their hearts.
"The emperor has already given marriage to the two of them, and seeing that the wedding is approaching, what should I do if such a thing happens?"
"It's not simple, Guo Xiaoxiao's status is low, it's a big deal to marry a concubine."
Feng Yu, who didn't know how to explain to Li Youran, couldn't help but turn red when he heard everyone's discussions, and his ears were red all the time.
"Leisurely, Miss Guo and I are really not what you think."
Feng Yu wanted to explain what happened to Li Youran, but he didn't know where to start, and after holding back for a long time, he just said such a sentence.
"Feng Gongzi, you have a deep affection for the county lord of Jiahe, and the slave doesn't dare to say anything, but you can't let down our young lady! Now that our young lady has lost her youth, how should you let her live? β
I saw Guo Xiaoxiao looking at Feng Yu with a disappointed look after hearing Feng Yu's words.
Guo Xiaoxiao, who was wet all over, already made people feel distressed, and now with this expression, it is even more pitiful.
"Not a lot of mouths."
When everyone heard the little girl's words, they knew that there was something in the words, and an expression of eating melons was waiting for the development of the following.
I saw Guo Xiaoxiao look at the little maid and scolded angrily, and then burst into tears, forcibly got up and trotted all the way away.
"Feng Gongzi, you better hurry up and go see Miss Guo, after all, if something like this happens, it's not good to cause death."
"In the end, he lost his innocence, and now Feng Gongzi doesn't admit it, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Miss Guo to marry in the future. If you can't think of it, maybe you'll find a place where no one is around. β
The onlookers sympathized with Guo Xiaoxiao when they saw this.
Although Guo Xiaoxiao's status is humble, she is a woman in the end, and she has lost her innocence, not to mention what happened between her and Feng Yu, just looking at the scene that everyone saw, they all thought that Guo Xiaoxiao was the vulnerable group among the three and a victim.
"Big brother, you still have injuries on your body, and now you have fallen into the water again, so you should go with me to change your clothes quickly so as not to catch a cold."
Just when Feng Yu didn't know what to do, Feng Lei took a step forward, helped Feng Yu up, and then pulled him out of the crowd.
Feng Lei, who was in the downtown area, had never seen any kind of wind and waves, it was obvious that the eldest brother was calculated, so after Feng Yu changed his clothes, he hurriedly took Feng Yu away.
"Leisurely, don't think about it too much, maybe Miss Guo accidentally fell into the water, and Feng Yu went down to save him."
After everyone dispersed, Li Youran still stood in place and did not leave.
Jiang Qianqian was very distressed, took Li Youran's hand, and said to Li Youran, for Jiang Qianqian, when a woman experiences such a thing, the sky must have fallen.
"Leisurely, you and Feng Yu haven't gotten married yet, so he did something sorry for you, so I'll go with you to Feng Yu and ask this matter clearly! If he really does something sorry for you, let's go to the emperor and let the emperor judge us. β
Zhou Caidie gritted her teeth and said fiercely, thinking that if Feng Lei did such a thing, he would never spare it.
"I'm fine."
Li Youran said as he hurriedly put away the smile on his face and replaced it with a sullen expression.
At this time, Xiaohong, who was standing aside, was embarrassed again. The smile on the county lord's face couldn't be more obvious, does everyone really have the ability to be selectively blind? Why didn't she ......
"It's just a little Guo family girl, and it's a big deal to get married and bring it into the house as a concubine."
After Feng Yu returned home, he had a high fever, and because this incident really affected his mood, he was bedridden.
After learning about this, Uncle Guo hurriedly returned home, he looked at Feng Yu who was lying on the bed and said.
"You think it's like you're a bad old man, and you want to take a concubine at every turn!"
Before Uncle Guo finished speaking, Mrs. Guo glared at Uncle Guo, and saw that Uncle Guo changed instantly. The previous momentum was swept away, and he turned into a soft little sheep, sitting on the bench without speaking.
"It's already happened anyway, so what do you say about it?"
Uncle Guo said in a low voice, only to see that Uncle Guo ignored Uncle Guo's words, got up and walked towards Feng Yu's bed, sat on the edge of the bed and said to Feng Yu.
"Son, my mother thinks there must be a conspiracy behind this matter. Think about it, Miss Guo is not qualified to participate in this banquet, if she really follows her Tao and includes her in the mansion as a boundary, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future. β
Uncle Guo's wife is old, and the things in the backyard are very clear, and she can see through at a glance that Guo Xiaoxiao's matter has been calculated.
"What my mother said is that Guo Xiaoxiao was originally sitting on a stone by the river, and when I helped her up, she suddenly seemed to be tripped by something, fell towards the lake, and fell into the water with the child."
Lying on the bed, Feng Yu also thought a lot, he carefully recalled what happened before Guo Xiaoxiao fell into the water, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"The county lord of Jiahe is also the county lord anyway, and he is the sister of the crown princess, so I am afraid that he will not agree to the matter of taking a concubine. If you take a concubine, I am afraid that the county lord of Jiahe will not agree, Guo Xiaoxiao must want to destroy your marriage with the county lord of Jiahe. β
Mrs. Guo Xiu sighed as she said and continued.
"Even if you don't take a concubine, if you have such a thing with Guo Xiaoxiao, you can't tell it clearly, I'm afraid that the county lord of Jiahe has already misunderstood you."
Feng Yu didn't think of this, but now that his high fever has not subsided, he really can't go to the Ranfu Mansion to apologize and make this matter clear.
"Son, you hurry up and write a letter to the county lord of Jiahe, and send someone to send the letter to the county lord of Jiahe for your mother, such a thing can't be delayed, you have to explain it as soon as possible."
After seeing that after Mrs. Guo's wife finished speaking to Feng Yu, she turned her head to look at Lord Guoxiu and said to him in a very disgusted tone.
"What are you still doing here stupidly, why don't you send someone to tell the Guo family and let them stop thinking about it, my son will never accept Guo Xiaoxiao as a concubine."
When Uncle Guo heard Mrs. Guo's words, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted all the way away.
When such a thing happened, Li Youran thought that there would be a scandal in the capital, and Feng Yu was a negative man, but he didn't expect to throw this melon back on his body.
"The reason why Feng Gongzi did this must be to take revenge on the county lord of Jiahe and raise his face behind his back."
"I think it doesn't matter if Feng Gongzi has some things with Guo Xiaoxiao, after all, he is the first person to raise noodles in Jiahe County. Besides, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. β
Li Youran, who stayed in the mansion to study the new formula, was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died after hearing Xiaohong tell her these rumors.
"That's it......"
Li Youran underestimated this male-inferior society in the end, and it is better to leave it behind than to be half angry.
"I didn't expect that Miss Guo would do this thing so beautifully, even if Qin Ao didn't talk to Li Youran, but our goal was still achieved."
As she spoke, the four princesses took out a piece of paper with the recipe for the hot pot base from her cuffs and handed it to the four princes to set.
"The hot pot base thing has also been done, it is exactly the same as you planned, and it is really easy to get the recipe."
The fourth prince glanced at the hot pot recipe, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking to himself what Li Youran could do even if he was smart, but he was just a woman.
"We still have to hurry up the matter of opening a hot pot restaurant."
Speaking of which, the mood of the fourth prince was a little depressed, thinking that he was also a prince, but he didn't expect to do such an unpopular thing for the sake of money, but there was no way, he had to endure hardships to become a master.
Thinking of the crown prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince suppressed these negative emotions again, and he had to raise more money in the shortest possible time.
"Uncle Guo did send someone to look for Lord Guo, but I didn't expect that after Uncle Guo left, Lord Guo went directly to the palace to find the saint."
In the evening, Tang Lei came back in a hurry and told Li Youran what he saw.
"Uncle Guo is looking for Lord Guo, he must be talking about what happened during the day, Lord Guo's status is humble, and it is not easy to enter the palace. He risked his life and death and entered the palace to find the emperor, maybe it must be because of this incident. The reason why Lord Guo is like this is that Uncle Guo does not plan to take Guo Xiaoxiao as a concubine. β
Li Youran said with a frown.
