Chapter 32: The Banquet of the Zhou Mansion
A smile appeared on Chu Qing's originally indifferent face, and he said, "The fifth princess trusts her so much, how can this palace live up to it?" ”
"Okay, it's not early, and if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid that the main hall won't be able to get to the resting place tonight."
Chu Qing turned around and left.
"His Highness Yasu."
Ye Sili opened his mouth to call, and Chu Qing turned to look.
Ye Sili folded his hands and sent each other with the gift of Da Zhou in a proper manner.
"This is far away from the mountains and rivers, and I hope Your Highness will cherish it."
Chu Qing solemnly returned the salute.
In the seventeenth year of Xining, on the fifth day of the lunar month, the road outside the city, the three of them were convenient to separate.
When Ye Sili returned to Yugong Mansion, he was very uneasy.
"Why haven't my grandfather and Ah Yu come back yet?"
"Today, His Royal Highness Lisu has left Beijing, and the emperor naturally has to discuss many things with his courtiers." Jian Xia replaced Ye Sili's heavy cloak, and the cloak was still stained with early morning frost and dew.
When Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liwu returned home, Ye Sili was relieved to learn that Zhou and Liang had rebuilt.
"Three days later, it will be the Laba Festival, and at that time, Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Rites will hold a banquet in the mansion, Ah Li can go?" Gu Liwu asked what Ye Sili meant.
"I'm afraid it's hard to shirk." Ye Sili motioned for Due Chun to step forward.
Duchun stepped forward and took out the invitation card and said, "This morning, the prince of Zhou Mansion specially sent someone to send an invitation. ”
If someone else came to send it, Ye Sili would definitely not want to go, after all, every time he met Zhou Jiu'er, it would be no good thing, but Zhou Ziyu and Gu Liwu had a very good relationship with them, if they accepted the invitation and did not go to the banquet, I am afraid it would be unreasonable.
"Grandfather, will you go?" Ye Sili turned his head and asked.
"This kind of banquet is mostly for you young people, what do I do as an old man?" Ye Zhongyao refused.
Ye Sili was about to persuade a few words, and then heard Ye Zhongyao say slowly:
"Mu Xiang asked me to go to the mountains to make tea early in the morning, and I learned a thing or two after making tea, wouldn't I be happy?"
“……”
Ye Sili and Gu Liwu glanced at each other, and sure enough, his old man just wanted to move his muscles.
Xu is close to the end of the year, the Zhou Mansion held a banquet and invited guests. During his lifetime, Zhou Daren was dedicated to his duties and upright, and was respected by many officials and even the younger generations of literati.
On the day of the Laba Festival, not only did the Zhou Mansion hold a banquet, but the Zhou people also specially ordered the porridge in the west of the city for a whole day, which was a bloody capital for the Zhou people who were honest and honest and had clean sleeves.
"If I say I won't go, I won't go, and it's useless for you to push me." Under the "persecution" of Ye Sili and Gu Liwei, Mu Jiufeng finally stood in front of the gate of the Zhou Mansion.
Today, with Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng, Ye Sili also gave a small vacation to the twilight spring and summer, and did not let them follow, and Qingluo was unwilling to enter the Zhou Mansion again, Ye Sili naturally would not force it.
"Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu went to the mountains with their grandfather to make tea today, you are the only son of Ning'an Hou, and you naturally have to attend on such occasions today on behalf of Ning'an Hou's Mansion."
Ye Sili explained, suddenly thought of another reason, and couldn't help but quip:
"You're not still angry with Ziyu, are you?"
Mu Jiufeng immediately retorted: "Who wants to be angry with him? It's just a nerd. ”
"The character of the Nine Winds Boy has really not changed at all."
"Ziyu." Ye Sili looked at Zhou Ziyu who walked out of the house, he hadn't seen him for a while, and his speech and demeanor seemed to be more scholarly.
That's right, Zhou Ziyu is a literary genius.
"Lord Le'an, son of sorrow."
"Boy of the Nine Winds."
Zhou Ziyu saluted in turn, except for Mu Jiufeng who refused to respond, the other three exchanged pleasantries for a while.
There were many guests today, so Zhou Ziyu ordered his entourage to take Ye Sili and the three of them into the house.
Zhou's mansion is a scholarly family, the furnishings in the house are full of paintings, fish, birds, flowers and plants are poetic, and there are many guests today, most of whom are also literati.
In the final analysis, this is a literati exchange.
Mu Jiufeng still hated Zhou Ziyu in his heart, and he was already very unhappy at the moment.
"You two are just going to be good with me."
Ye Sili knew that he was unhappy, so he grabbed his sleeve and said flatteringly:
"You should have come with us today, how about I invite you to Zuiyun Tower for a big meal another day?"
"Two meals."
"It's a deal." Ye Sili and Mu Jiufeng high-fived as an oath, but before the slap touched, they were directly taken away by Gu Liwu.
"What kind of system is pulling." Gu Li was cold and threw down such a sentence, which made Ye Sili confused.
"Ye Sili? How did you guys get here? Zhou Jiu'er saw them in the distance, so he walked over and questioned.
Mu Jiufeng was not happy, and when he learned about Qingluo before, he looked at Zhou Jiu'er at this moment, and his eyes couldn't wait to drag Zhou Jiu'er out and beat him violently.
Of course, his Jiufeng son has always been really kind, unlike a certain son who is fake and pure, he naturally can't deal with a female streamer.
"Naturally, we were personally invited by the eldest prince of Zhou, otherwise who would rarely come?" Mu Jiufeng said with a stinky face.
"......" Ye Sili watched Zhou Jiu'er's face change and change, and turned her head to look at Mu Jiufeng beside her, she never thought that Jiufeng would say it so bluntly, and she didn't give Zhou Jiu'er face.
However, today's banquet was held by the Zhou Mansion anyway, and no matter how stupid Zhou Jiu'er was, it was impossible for him to make trouble on his own territory, so he had to give up.
The banquet was really boring, Ye Sili and the three of them lost interest after shopping for a while, and found a seat at random.
Ye Sili and Mu Jiufeng are all noisy personalities, and it is really difficult to pass the time on such an elegant occasion for literati.
"Why hasn't Ah Wei come back yet?"
Ye Sili sat for a long time, and then felt a little cold, Gu Liwu went to help her get her clothes, but she didn't come back for a long time.
"Didn't something happen?" Mu Jiufeng also looked out suspiciously.
They came earlier today, and there were not many guests in the Zhou Mansion at the moment, but they still heard a discussion in one place.
Gu Liwu was stopped by a group of female dependents, and he couldn't advance or retreat.
"I said who is going to bump into it so without long eyes, it turned out to be the eldest prince of Ye Mansion." A shrill female voice rang out from it.
"Miss Liang's nonsense skills are good, but everyone can testify that I didn't touch you at all, but you bumped into me yourself."
Gu Li explained coldly.
"Master Gu is so good at reversing black and white, how can I, a woman, pounce on you regardless of your reputation?" Liang Caicai suddenly realized, "After staying in Yugong Mansion for a few years, do you really think that you have flown on the branches and become a phoenix?" ”
As soon as Liang Caicai's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they talked about Gu Liwu's life experience.
"It's just a little beggar that Ye Sili picked up casually, but now it's talking nonsense in this Zhou Mansion, do you really think it's leaning on a big tree?"
"You say everyone can testify?"
"Who testifies to you?"
Liang Caicai's eyes swept around, and everyone was silent.
