Chapter 10 The little marquis of the countryside
The Peach Blossom Banquet is set up in the suburban villa of the Zhenguo Mansion.
The villa is surrounded by mountains and water, and the peach blossoms are clouds, and the maids and maids are all dressed in splendid embroidery, and they serve plates of delicious wine and food diligently.
He Yao and Yuan Yu entered the garden, and from a distance, they saw that the sideburns and shadows were fragrant, and they were all rich and lively between laughter.
The two stood under the peach blossom tree, He Yao pointed to Lang Jun in the distance, and introduced Yuan Yu, "The one who wears the hairpin is Zhang Cuifeng, the uncle of the small country, who is arrogant and domineering, relying on his sister is the queen's mother to mess around with flowers and grass, and has a bad reputation in Luojing City." The one wearing the embroidered crane robe is Gu Zhizhou, the sister-in-law of Gu Taiwei's family, who is very talented and martial, although it is worth befriending, but it is treacherous and unapproachable. That's ......"
She introduced it and drank half a cup of fragrant tea with a dry mouth.
Yuan Yu leisurely folded a peach blossom, "I heard that Guo Duanping, the assassin of Liangzhou, was promoted to Luojing and shot for the left servant, I don't know if the people of their family can go to the banquet?" ”
He Yao shook his head, "I don't know about this." ”
Yuan Yu got up, "I'll go look elsewhere." ”
He is a thief, and every time he goes to a new place, he is used to familiarizing himself with his surroundings first.
After Yuan Yu left, He Yao picked up a piece of crystal clear mare's milk jade cake from the desk, and just took a bite, a pair of twin sisters with charming faces suddenly came over.
Xue Ningyun smiled: "Yo, isn't this He Er?" You're going to eat it before the feast begins? Where is your fiancé from Liangzhou, pull it out and let us open our eyes! Hiding it like this, is it a country village man who can't be on the stage, and he is unsightly? ”
Her sister Xue has the word "Qiao" in her name, but she is naturally stumbling when she speaks, so she habitually echoes her sister, "The country man is unsightly!" ”
He Yao rolled her eyes.
The Xue sisters were born bad to the bone.
In their previous lives, these two sisters also entered the door of the Wei family, although their backgrounds were not as prominent as Luo Ciyu, but they often helped Wei Jiuqing with all kinds of tricks and solved the stumbling blocks on the road to power.
The officials who died in their machinations could not be counted on two hands.
After Luo Ciyu's death, these two people even instructed the housekeeper to quietly let Luo Ciyu cover his face with chaff when he was buried, which can be described as extremely vicious.
She also suffered a lot under the hands of these two sisters, and it was common for her to be beaten and starved, and once they even wanted to take her as a favor and give her to a sixty-year-old official as a concubine, but fortunately they were stopped by Sister A.
The Xue family sisters were hostile to her in their previous and present lives, not only because they both admired Wei Jiuqing, but also because the He family and the Xue family did not deal with each other in the court.
He Yao didn't like them either, "I haven't seen me, so don't jump to conclusions." ”
"It's just a villager, and I don't deserve to lift my shoes." Xue Ningyun sneered, "It's a pity that the sister of the He family, with this pair of ice muscles and jade bones, ended up marrying a rural villager!" ”
"What are you talking about?" Luo Ciyu led a group of famous girls to come over.
Xue Ningyun looked back and smiled, "I am boasting about the good fortune of his sister, her fiancé is poor and white, and he doesn't even have a house, and he can live in her house together when he gets married in the future, and he is no different from his son-in-law." It's not like us, we don't know where we're going to marry in the future. If you marry far away, it will be difficult to see Aya Niang. ”
Luo Ciyu knew that Xue Ningyun was deliberately embarrassing He Yao.
Although she doesn't like He Yao either, He Yao's sister has a marriage contract with her brother, and as the host, she can't let others bully He Yao.
She said: "The banquet is about to start, He Er, you are ready to prepare, and play a song for us with the little marquis." ”
All guests are seated.
He Yao looked left and right, but he didn't see Yuan Yu come back.
She had to go on her own and go first.
Xue Ningyun was the first to laugh out loud, and explained to the little ladies next to him: "That little marquis is from the remote and poor Liangzhou countryside, I have never seen the prosperity of Luojing, I heard that he fell ill when he first entered Beijing, where did he participate in such a lively and exquisite banquet?" This son, I'm afraid that he is scared like a rat crossing the street, and he doesn't know where to hide! ”
The little ladies who were good friends with Xue Ningyun covered their sleeves and sneered:
"He Er is crazy, a person who is a powerful man on weekdays is willing to marry a rural villager! If I were her, I wouldn't even nod my head in this family business! ”
"What do you say about the ensemble "Alpine Flowing Water", He Er's straw bale, when Guozi Jian was studying, she skipped class for three days and two ends, can she play the pipa? And the so-called little marquis, I'm afraid he doesn't understand the music law at all, he doesn't want to lose face so he deliberately hides, right? ”
"Speaking of which, I wonder what that countryman looks like? How can it be compared to Wei Lang? ”
"Are you being funny? He is also worthy of being compared with Wei Lang? ”
“……”
Wei Jiuqing sat on the men's seat and couldn't help but hook his lips.
He didn't know where He Yao got the courage to dare to bring that little marquis to the peach blossom banquet.
The people here are all sons and daughters from high-ranking families, all of them are raised in the splendid pile, are the countrymen from Liangzhou worthy of eating at the same table with them?
I'm afraid I've never eaten such a delicate pastry, nor have I ever drunk a good wine.
It's just a dirt dog.
Wei Jiuqing's gaze fell on He Yao's face, He Er didn't know how much he loved him before, and the reason why he brought the little marquis was probably to deliberately anger him, so as to make him jealous.
It's naïve, ignorant, ridiculous!
He closed the folding fan, the He family's military power was something he was bound to get, in order to appease He Yao, maybe he could reluctantly show a jealous posture.
I just hope that the villager is not too bad, otherwise it will be a loss of grace to even be jealous.
In the field.
He Yao lowered her eyes, the little marquis may have lost her way in the garden, it seems that she can only play solo.
Fortunately, in order to compete for anger, she was not lazy this month.
The girl settled down, and her jade hand stroked the pipa, and the sound of flowing water soon poured out from her fingertips.
Xue Ningyun and the others were originally waiting to see the joke, but they couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the sound of the piano.
Why didn't they know that He Yao could also play the pipa?
In the past, when she was studying in Guozijian, she clearly couldn't even memorize the score!
Seeing that there was nothing wrong in the pipa song, Xue Ningyun sneered, started from elsewhere, and pretended to be pitiful: "He Er is really pitiful, his fiancé escaped from the battle, and he didn't even dare to show his face." Marrying that kind of cowardly and cowardly country man, this life is over. ”
Another little lady laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I'm ugly, I don't dare to come out to meet people, right?" ”
When the words landed, a clear flute suddenly came from the depths of the peach forest.
Everyone looked back, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xiao Langjun came with a bamboo flute in his hand.
The spring breeze rises and falls.
Xiao Langjun wears a vermilion round-necked robe with a lack of crotch, and his posture is as tall as pine bamboo.
He tied his hair with goose yellow ribbons, his forehead hair was slightly curly, his eyes were like peach blossom eyebrows like distant mountains, his straight nose bones revealed the unique heroism and rebelliousness of Liangzhou teenagers, his thin red lips were slightly upturned, and his body was endlessly handsome.
This skin and bearing, how can he be like a country man who has never seen the world, and he is clearly more eye-catching than the prince and grandson in the nine-fold palace!
