A Dance in the City (2)
When the girl took off her mask, as everyone admired, someone exclaimed, "The county lord, it's the county lord!" Zhu Changluo was also stunned, blinked hurriedly, and said, "Ajuan, is it really my baby daughter?" ”
The surname of the lord of Huaishu County is Zhu, Fang's name is Huijuan, and his nickname is Ajuan. The lord of Huai Shujun walked to Zhu Changluo's seat, knelt down on his knees, lightly opened his jade lips, revealing a row of white jade teeth, and said softly: "I wish my father a long life and a long life, and I will always enjoy the blessings of immortals." Zhu Changluo laughed heartily, personally helped up the county lord Huaishu, and said, "Good! Good daughter, really a good daughter of this palace. ”
When Xu Kuang took off the mask from Lord Huaishu, he already looked like a wood carving, and his eyes did not blink. He had also seen Lord Huaishu, but it was all a quick glance, not to mention that it had been a long time. The county lord of Huaishu is still young, and now he looks slim and elegant, and his elegance is peerless, how not to make him feel relaxed and happy, how not to make him feel excited. If you can spend the rest of your life with a beautiful woman, what more can you ask for!
Xu Kuang was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that his face was wet with wine, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He hurriedly wiped the wine from his face. Princess Tiantai raised her eyebrows upside down, and her round-eyed face appeared in front of Xu Kuang's eyes.
Xu Kuang didn't know when he offended the unstoppable princess, so he was frightened, and hurriedly stood up to make amends. Princess Tiantai pointed at Xu Kuang and said, "Don't think about any ideas. You're mine, I don't understand! Xu Kuang bowed his head in resignation.
Princess Tiantai looked at Lord Huai Shu, who was sitting next to Zhu Changluo, and picked up the full wine from the top and wanted to drink it in one gulp, but she was choked and coughed. She suddenly became nameless and angry, and threw the wine glass at the palace maid, who hurriedly caught it, and sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead. Princess Tiantai did not say goodbye to Zhu Changluo and left directly.
Lord Huaishu got up slightly and said, "Father, go back to the room and tidy up your hair." Zhu Changluo stroked her long black and soft hair and said, "This is very good!" Li Xuan, who was sitting at the bottom of Zhu Changluo, hurriedly said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that the county lord's hair is ten times better than that of a bun." Zhu Changluo looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yes! She resembles her deceased birth mother. Pity! ”
When Lord Huaishu heard the mention of her deceased biological mother, she couldn't help but snort and felt a little sad. She hurriedly stopped and forced a smile: "Father, today is your birthday, don't mention the old things." Come, Erchen toasts you! Zhu Changluo wiped a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Yes! Right! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return! ”
Father and daughter have a drink together. Don't look at the county lord of Huaishu, although he is delicate, he looks weak and can't help the wind, and the wine strength does not let him shave his eyebrows. Today's house was full of friends, and the county lord of Huaishu didn't dare to be happy, so he only drank a few glasses of wine.
Li Xuanzhi drank a cup with him and said, "I don't know how the county lord can learn to dance well?" Zhu Changluo also said: "My father has never seen my son's music and dance, but where did Naruto learn today's dance?" ”
Before the county lord of Huaishu could speak, Zhu Youxiao stepped forward and said: "Father, do you know that my sister gave you a surprise in order to be able to pay homage to her birthday, and she specially apprenticed to learn art and practiced hard for several months. The emperor lived up to his heart, and finally won a smile from his father, I see that my sister is happier than you! ”
A fair-skinned eunuch beside Zhu Youxiao, who was about forty years old, bowed down and said with a smile: "Speaking of filial piety, Xiao Shizi also took great pains to make small puppets to be filial to Your Highness!" Zhu Changluo nodded and sighed: "They are all good children, I am very happy for my father!" ”
Li Xuanzhi said with a smile: "Since the children are so filial, it is better to choose a daughter-in-law for them!" Zhu Changluo groaned: "Youxiao is still young, and I'll talk about it later." Huai Shu has passed the age of Lu can be considered. Li Xuanzhi clapped his hands and smiled: "Congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the county lord." ”
Lord Huaishu's cheeks turned crimson when he boarded, and he said coyly: "Father, the son wants to accompany you for a few more years." Zhu Changluo said: "Silly girl, it's not for you to marry someone else, but if you choose a good son-in-law in the capital, you can still accompany the orphan, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”
The eunuch standing beside Zhu Youxiao said again: "The slave thinks that there are only a handful of people in the city who can match our county lord." However, there is a candidate in the minion's heart, I wonder if His Highness is satisfied? Zhu Changluo pointed at the eunuch and said, "Wei Zhongxian, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "After the King of Zhongshan, Lord Taichangqing Xu Kuangxu. Zhu Changluo said: "Xu Kuang? Wei Zhongxian said to Xu Kuang with his mouth: "Your Highness, you see that he is a talent, and he is the queen of the gate, so he is a good choice for choosing a son-in-law." ”
Zhu Changluo looked at Xu Kuang. Sure enough, he is well-dressed, his face is handsome, and his demeanor is different, and he can indeed match his daughter. Li Xuanzhi smiled: "Wow! The two are really a perfect match, a natural pair. However, I wonder if Lord Xu has a wife? ”
Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Masters, you can rest assured that Lord Xu has not yet married a wife. Zhu Changluo said: "Okay! After the banquet, you go and ask him what he means. Wei Zhongxian said happily: "The slave must live up to His Highness's entrustment." ”
Lord Huaishu didn't expect his life's event to come so suddenly. Although it is still unknown whether Xu Kuang can agree, she has never considered marriage. I just want to travel through the years and live a carefree life.
Every day is to sit in the garden in the county lord's mansion and watch the flowers and plants, watch the servants busy, fish and fish by the pond when they have time, or enter the Forbidden City to see the emperor's elders, play with the royal family, or wander around the capital, when they are tired, they sit in the teahouse and drink tea, taste delicious food in the restaurant, or learn from a teacher, blow the flute, dance, and dabble in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If you get married one day, how can you have such a comfortable day. It's good that the husband has the same interests as herself, but if he goes against her interests, it will be very bad for him. The more the county lord Huaishu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he just wanted to go back to the county lord's mansion as soon as possible. Take a flower bath and wash away today's troubles.
Unexpectedly, she was just about to leave Ciqing Palace after the banquet, but Zhu Changluo actually left her to return to the county lord's mansion after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lord Huaishu had no choice but to obey orders.
When I returned to the room, it was nightfall, and Lord Huai Shu sat in a daze by the candlelight. One of her personal maids named Zizhu said beside her: "Master, what are you thinking?" Lord Huaishu shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything." Zizhu smiled: "Master, how about the slave maid boil water for you to bathe?" Lord Huaishu said thoughtfully: "You put my hair in a bun for me, and I'll go out for a while." Zizhu said: "Yes!" ”
Someone outside the door whispered: "County Lord! The lord of Huaishu had already tied his hair in a bun with a hosta, and said, "Come in!" I saw a little eunuch walk in, holding a box in his hand, and said respectfully: "County Lord, this is the osmanthus cake that Grandpa Wei gave you to eat." Lord Huai Shu said: "Put it down!" The little eunuch put down the box, slowly exited the room, closed the door, and left.
Zizhu opened the box, there were a few delicate pastries inside, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant!" It must be delicious. Lord Huaishu smiled: "Little gluttonous cat, look at you, saliva is about to flow out!" Zizhu said: "The master eats first, and the slave dares to eat." The county lord Huaishu smiled: "What to pretend, if it is in the county lord's mansion, you have already finished eating, and you will ask me." That's it, I'll give it all to you. ”
Zizhu blinked and said, "Master, you really don't eat it?" Lord Huaishu touched his stomach and said, "Today's banquet is still in my stomach." If you eat it again, you won't become a big fat pig. Zizhu had already put a piece of pastry into her mouth and said, "It's delicious!" Delicious! Master, you're right. You don't look good if you get a little fatter. It's better to let the slave and maid become fat, and the slave and maid are not afraid of being fat. As she spoke, she ate another piece.
Lord Huaishu looked at Zizhu's mouth full of stuff, how could there be a shadow of a woman's eating appearance, it was like a gangster in the market, and he unconsciously covered his mouth and smiled: "Look at you, you just can't change this eating appearance." Be careful that you can't get married. Zizhu's cheeks were already bulging, and she said to herself: "The slave maid never thought about getting married, but she only wanted to follow her master for the rest of her life." ”
Lord Huaishu pointed at her and said with a smile: "This is what you said. Don't run away as soon as you see a handsome man. I don't want to do it! Zizhu shook her hands and said, "No, no." No matter how handsome a man is, the slave and maid are not moved. But! She suddenly became mysterious, and said with a sly smile: "If the slave really meets a handsome man, she will definitely give it to the master." ”
Lord Huaishu smiled and said, "Dead girl, you dare to make fun of me." You have to pick your skin. Zizhu jumped back, pretending to be pitiful and pleading, holding half a piece of osmanthus cake in her right hand, and said: "Master, the slave is extremely confused, how can a handsome man in the world be worthy of you!" Only the immortals in the sky are worthy of you, the master, you are really the relatives of the gods, and you envy others! When she said the sentence "The relatives of the gods and goddesses, envy others", she shook her head, quite like a Confucian reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, and was intoxicated.
Lord Huaishu had already stood up, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile: "The girl who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead is still talking nonsense. If you don't give some color today, you can see who is the master in the future. She threw herself at Zizhu with her hands outstretched. Zizhu flashed to the side and swallowed the osmanthus cake in his right hand.
Lord Huaishu pounced again and said, "Yo! Dare to hide! Don't run! Zizhu flashed and said, "Master, spare your life, the slave won't dare next time." Lord Huai Shu said: "You say next time every time, this time you will never be tolerated." ”
This room is a bedroom, the area is not large, it is not suitable to jump, Rao is Zizhu is flexible, and he was almost caught by Lord Huaishu several times. As a last resort, Zizhu hurriedly opened the door and ran out. Lord Huaishu also pounced.
