Chapter 3 The Homecoming Banquet
Zhou Lingqing, with the support of the little servant, walked into the hall smoothly.
Then there was my father's flattery, he greeted Zhou Lingqing to the main seat with a huff, and then asked the maid to make new tea, and he stood aside to ask for warmth, completely ignoring the three of us who were stunned.
After Zhou Lingqing demoted the wife given by the Holy God to a concubine by himself, he naturally saved a lot of links, and even welcomed his relatives on behalf of others, and before today, his father had never met him - I wondered, how did my father accurately put his enthusiasm at this moment?
After all, the legendary blind prince is fierce and vicious, with five scars on his face, dark skin, and a rough voice. Now the man standing in front of him was polite, noblely dressed, with an elegant face, and even his hair was meticulously combed—not a single one.
He ...... Is that Prince Ling? My sister asked blankly, pointing to the accessories around the man's waist.
I looked over, and it was very good, very good! On a delicately carved jade pendant, the words "King Ling" are written impressively, and this guy is hanging his identity and household registration.
"King Jing doesn't have to be polite, the tea is very good!" As if in order to meet his praise, he took another sip of tea, paused and said, "I was going to accompany Le Ming to go through the house, but Le Ming felt sorry for my hard work yesterday, and he didn't wake me up when he saw me asleep, so it was too late, rude and rude——"
"What did the prince say! As soon as the prince came, the humble house was full of flowers, and the cold house was full of light! If there is anything inconsiderate about the little girl, please bear with me! "My father was very dog-legged in his words.
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the blind prince's mouth, "Le Ming is naturally good!" ”
I was probably the only one who could hear the taste of gnashing my teeth.
My father continued to work hard to set off the atmosphere, and even pushed me to Zhou Lingqing's side, saying that people had many inconveniences due to eye diseases, so I was waiting for my life, and then asked my mother to invite the cook of Wanbaolou to prepare lunch.
The mother stood there, neither advancing nor retreating, and was about to slip away at this time, but as soon as she turned around, she ran into the blind prince's subordinates carrying three or five boxes.
"Everything is complete, Lord Wang!" A big man with a face full of stumps and muscles stepped forward and replied.
The blind prince waved his hand to let them retreat, and stopped his mother with his empty eyes, "Lunch is not in a hurry, Madame will take a look at the contents of the box first, can it be in the eye?" ”
Mother laughed and ordered the box to be opened.
If you don't open it, it's enough, and if you open it, you can't take your eyes off it - what is the night pearl of the North Sea, An Xiang pillow, purple jade pot, gold silk shirt......
Whole... It's all treasures.
Not only did my father and mother look straight, but even my sister, who was used to seeing good things, was a little dumbfounded.
This unpacking directly led to my mother inviting seven or eight cooks from Wanbaolou to make lunch, and the original bitter and hateful homecoming banquet became a full banquet for the Manchu and Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that the blind prince can't see the grand occasion in front of him, after leaving the little guy, it is simply my other mouth, taking my food, he actually thanked him very politely, and his mouth still muttered that Chu Huai is not good, and we will have a banquet that is not very good, in fact, it is not a bad mouthful.
I really don't know how people sit at home all day and night know everything in the world - the blind prince not only knows that King Jing's mansion has two thousand gold in one day, but even another aunt's name is Chu Huai, and he is the imperial doctor.
When Fang Cai still knew that people were also coming here for the banquet, he just said that "I went out in a hurry, I didn't have breakfast, and I'm a little hungry now", isn't it urging the banquet to start? finally opened the table, and began to worry about Chu Huai again.
Inconsistent heart, cunning and hypocritical, Zhou Lingqing is also.
And because my father was busy "entertaining" the blind prince after the banquet, he didn't find out that Chu Huai didn't show up until he started eating, and Sister finally lost her good temper, and even had a little face on me. Seeing this, my mother pulled the two of us to a hidden place to try to persuade them to make peace.
Who knew that Sister Ah stabbed someone's lungs at the exit, "Le Ming is a trick now, but he is just a concubine, and my father is proud of you!" The coaxing prince is so favored, I'm afraid I'm going to have a concubine soon-"
"Nonsense! Leping doesn't shut up yet! You have completely forgotten that your sister suffered for you! She's just a little better, and you say something that hurts your conscience! How many days has it been? Can you tell whether the prince is good or bad? Your sister is suffering, where do you know?! ”
My mother was so eye-catching that I almost gave her a thumbs up.
I only heard her say to Sister A again, "What you have to do now is to capture your husband's heart!" I know that Chu Huai didn't come, and you feel uncomfortable, but you don't need to show your face for this and other things, the housewife of the family, you have to catch the big and let go of the small! ”
After finishing speaking, he took my hand again and said, "Ming'er, this matter has made you suffer, and my mother is also poor in donkey skills, so I just owe you!" But there is a sentence, my mother has to advise you, although you are a concubine, don't be discouraged, he has an eye disease now, but it is your time! It's best to have a son and a half daughter, even if you don't have it, you have to seize the opportunity to let him put you in his heart, so that in the future, his eyes will be bright, and he won't just look at those empty appearances! ”
Mother spoke so tactfully.
Then my mother nagged a lot, and Sister Xu figured it out, for example, she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and took the initiative to show favor to me.
I gladly accepted the olive branch she had handed me - I really had no need to deal with her, she was occasionally willful, but she had been there for me in the seventeen years I lived.
When the three of us went back, the banquet was nearing the end, and I saw Zhou Lingqing sitting on a mahogany bench, and his father said flatteringly, "Dog Leze is going to participate in the imperial examination this year, and he doesn't dare to relax for a moment when he is stepping up his studies at the master's house. ”
"It's what I should do, King Jing is polite!"
Xu heard me standing behind him, and he turned to the side and said, "Where have you been?" I've been there for so long. ”
"Toilet! Is the prince going too? ”
“……”
After the feast, my mother took me and my sister by the hand and told me a lot in front of the blind prince, what are the things that often go home to see, on weekdays, only the husband is obedient, if you don't fight back, if you don't scold back, and so on - a good mother holds hands and lectures, intending to please the blind prince.
As soon as this "warm" moment passed, I took a carriage with him at the invitation of Zhou Lingqing and went home.
Naturally, my sister's face was as dull as before - because of Chu Huai, she didn't come after all.
The carriage was bumpy, the prince was as steady as Mount Tai, and I was like sitting on pins and needles, I really hated this damn silence.
"Is the prince's wound better?" I'm trying to activate the care skills.
"Much better—thanks to your care yesterday—otherwise I would have been able to ride my horse today......"
“……”
Oh, yin and yang!
"I'm hurt—is there a second one who knows?" He asked.
When I'm stupid! If you are blind, you know that you should ask the imperial doctor to make a conclusion to diagnose pseudoblindness, and if you have a wound, you don't know to ask a professional doctor to take a look? What's up? The people on the map are not strong? Figure hurts up and irritates?
Naturally, there is some ulterior secret that even the imperial doctor does not dare to invite! Can I still spread the word all over the world?
"The prince's blindness is well known, is there anything wrong with him?"
“……”
"You can teach—"
Pull a quack for a while, life is the most precious! I know it!
There was nothing to say all the way, and when I arrived at King Ling's mansion, it was almost dusk when the sun was gone, and I parted ways with the blind prince after getting out of the carriage.
This "parting of ways", the blind prince seemed to have disappeared, and never appeared again - along with the medicine box I brought into the mansion! Don't underestimate it! The small medicine box is full of painkillers, cough suppressants, fever reducers, scar removals, and anti-inflammatory elixirs that I have developed for many years! If you don't ask yourself, you steal, under the gorgeous clothes, they are all chickens and dogs! Bah!
I went back to my breath angrily, thanks to Grandma Xu who was worried about my food and clothing, soothed my emotions, and asked the little maid below not to chew her tongue beside me three times or twice! But, my dear grandmother, they don't chew by my side, they run to the yard to chew, you are deaf and can't hear, but I can hear clearly.
"Although we call us Mrs., it's just a concubine given by the emperor, and the specifications for returning to the door are only a carriage..."
"Speaking of returning to the door that day, the prince was so anxious to catch up with a white face, he thought he was a favored master, but when he came back, he was beaten into the 'cold palace'..."
People are in a hurry to chase their "pigtails", afraid that I will spread the fact that others are injured with my big mouth!
"She doesn't look like the legendary fairy daughter, I'm afraid it's not that our prince is blind now, so I just caught someone to make up for it..."
"Shhhh
Hearing this, I no longer had the heart to look through the ancient books and medical classics in my hand - the prince is blind, and the people around him are like human spirits!
I also know that I am a fake, but Zhong Kui will be frightened by being told like this every day.
"Maybe I'm not busy here, I have the time to chat and bask in the sun-" Suddenly, a clear voice came, and I saw a woman in a light blue shirt with only a hosta tied in her hair coming over the window.
I hurriedly got up, thinking that no matter where the gods would welcome into the house first, who knew that Mama was faster than me, trotted to the door, and said from a distance, "Miss Zifeng, how did you come here?" ”
Zi Feng? When the blind prince was bleeding that night, wasn't it the name of the girl he shouted?
"Mama will rest from now on, Madame is moving to Xinyuan-"
When Old Mama Xu heard this, she was a little overjoyed, and her eyes lit up in confirmation, "Really? ”
"Of course it's true," said the maple girl, who walked over to me, "Madame's things are packed, and I'll take Madame over—"
"It's good here, why..."
"What a good! Xinyuan is good! Mama walked up to me vigorously, with tears in her eyes, "Xinyuan is the residence of the prince, and it is naturally good for Madame to go!" I have been getting along with my wife for the past few days, and I feel that my wife is a good girl, and the prince is fortunate to have the care of his wife, and he is also blessed! ”
