Chapter 32: Going to the Feast
The next day.
Shi Jin got up early in the morning, dressed up as a small servant, and his hair was pulled into a high bun with ink and ink, and he looked like a small guy who was not enough from a distance.
Seeing Shi Jin dressed like this, Shi Mo couldn't help but joke with her, "Be vigilant today, they are all masters in high-ranking families, don't make trouble for the master." ”
Shi Jin nodded, and went to Qi Mojing with Shi Mo, and saw the master pointing to the gift box on the table of the Eight Immortals, "This is a gift to the Lord of Yichang County, Shi Jin and take it." ”
Shi Jin answered, picked up the gift box, and stood on Qi Mojing's side.
After the second master finished breakfast, a little servant came to tell Shi Mo that the carriage was ready.
Qi Mojing wore a round-necked navy blue wide-sleeved gown today, with a white ring around his waist and a delicate jade bead and jade pressure angle, and a high hair of black jade, which added a bit of elegance and elegance to the past.
He pinched the gold ebony folding fan, and the rabbit fan pendant on it swayed. Shi Mo and Shi Jin bit their ears, "Last time, somehow, the second master was angry and directly threw a fan pendant, and then a fan pendant came out again." ”
Shi Jin ignored him, for fear that he would be picked up by the second master for a while and lose his temper.
The two followed the second master into the carriage. Shimo sat on the wheel with the coachman, and Shi Jin sat in the corner of the carriage with the second master, and after a while, the curtain opened again, and the second son, Qi Tianyi, was also indiscriminate, bending in.
His gaze swept over Shi Jin, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he calmly took his robe and sat down, "Second Uncle values you, and he will take you with him to this banquet." ”
Shi Jin lowered his eyebrows, and because he was dressed as a little girl, his voice was also thicker, "The slave listens to the arrangement of the second master." ”
Qi Mojing snorted coldly and motioned for Shi Jin to sit closer.
Shi Jin moved two more seats and stopped, only as a wall flower, refusing to move again.
Qi Tianyi's gaze circled around Shi Jin again, so he avoided her, and talked to Qi Mojing.
The lord of Yichang is the youngest daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and lives in the Shengguo Mansion with her mother. The eldest princess of Qinghe has been married into the mansion of Shengguo Mansion for more than 20 years since Huaxin married.
The lord of Yichang has had a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was a child, and the more she grows up, the more the eldest princess of Qinghe has the idea of marrying her daughter to the prince as a concubine.
It's a pity that the prince set up the eldest daughter of General Weiyuan's mansion as the princess in the early years, and the eldest princess Qinghe was reluctant to take her daughter as her side, so this family matter was delayed back and forth.
Although the lord of Yichang held a sixteenth birthday banquet today, in the end, there is a meaning of seeing each other.
The carriage winds through West Avenue and heads north until it reaches a courtyard with a magnificent plaque.
The carriages and horses at the gate of the Shengguo Mansion were weaving, and the ladies of the Gaomen were dressed and fragrant, and the nobles were chatting around, compared to them, the two carriages of the Jing'an Hou Mansion also seemed small.
Shi Jin and Shi Mo got off the carriage with Qi Mojing, and Qi Shu and Qi Wanran in the back also got out of the carriage under the guidance of the eldest lady.
Xiao Ce, the crown prince who was talking to people over there, saw the arrival of the carriage and horses of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, confessed to the people around him, and walked towards this side with a smile.
He is already tall, with a bee waist and ape arms, and a bright yellow narrow-sleeved round-neck embroidered python robe, which makes the whole person heroic and extraordinary.
"It's been a long time." The prince smiled closely.
Qi Mojing bowed slightly, "Your Highness said with a smile, you have a lot of opportunities, and I, an idler, naturally can't be compared." ”
The two talked briefly, and Qi Mojing said goodbye to the prince and went straight to the banquet place of the Guogong Mansion.
The Shengguo Mansion is different from the Jing'an Hou Mansion. Xu is the eldest princess of Qinghe who loves flowers, and the flowers in the garden of the entire Shengguo Mansion are stacked and arranged in rows according to categories, and the sea of flowers is staggered and staggered.
Shi Jin handed over the gifts to the housekeeper who was responsible for the collection of gifts to register and make a book, and followed his master all the way inside, only to feel that the whole person was dizzying, and there were several glass conservatories in the distance shining in the sun, reflecting psychedelic colors.
walked all the way until she was outside an independent palace in the back garden, and then a small servant of the Shengguo Mansion stopped her and took her into the resting place next to her.
The little guys are in a hugging building, and from their side, you can see that the masters on the opposite side are talking and laughing.
Shi Mo didn't know what to do, but only told Shi Jin to take care of his second master, and the whole person disappeared. Shi Jin grinded his teeth while continuing to stay by the window and stare at the place where the masters gathered.
Next to her, who was stepping on the chair with one foot and impassioned, was Chen San'er, a young servant in Uncle Chen's mansion. Because there is a favored concubine in the house, Uncle Chen has always looked at people with his nostrils, and even the subordinates in the house are proud of this, which is very arrogant.
There were so many small people around Chen San'er who held his stinky feet and coaxed Chen San'er together.
"Our uncle got a new Yangzhou thin horse two days ago, that figure, that look, tsk~" Chen San'er was squinting and smacking his lips, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shi Jin'an sitting quietly in the corner without speaking.
His eyes lit up, and his gaze suddenly swept around Shi Jin's body. If you want to say that Uncle Chen's thin horse appearance is outstanding, this little guy is also red lips and white teeth, and he is handsome.
He couldn't help but push aside everyone, and the monkey came to Shi Jin's side, "Which little guy are you?" It looks like it's very raw. ”
Shi Jin had already heard his nonsense and didn't want to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, this Chen San'er was thick-skinned, and when he saw Shi Jin move his position, he followed him again.
"Tell me, which little guy are you? It's a little more beautiful than the skinny horse. Chen San'er looked itching, but saw Shi Jin glaring at him fiercely, got up and stood under the eaves outside the hugging building.
Qi Mojing was pouring wine at this time, and took a drink by himself with the sleeves of his robe. Just as he was pitching, the prince Xiao Ce raised his glass with a smile and said, "It's a fine day today, the county lord and the girls are bending in the garden, raising the ropes, we are rough people, although we are not as meticulous as the girls, why don't we go together to have a good time?" ”
His proposal naturally won the approval of everyone. Most of the people here are sons of families, and they have long had a glimpse of the ladies in the garden, so they naturally will not refuse.
For a while, they got up one after another, and you pushed me to occasionally hold a pot, or a fan, or take a cup, or talk and laugh, or frown, but you actually took out the posture that you thought was the most suitable and walked leisurely.
Qi Mojing didn't move, leaned his neck and drank a glass of wine, then heard Xiao Ce take a few steps behind and smiled at him, "Is it difficult to show that you don't want to take a look?" ”
He raised his eyes, leaned slightly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness raises love, and a certain person should go." ”
The smile on the corner of Xiao Ce's mouth was even worse, and he made a gesture of please, and Qi Mojing got up and entered the garden with him.
On the other side, Shi Jin saw his second master enter the garden and hurriedly followed.
However, in front of a natural mountain and stone barrier, a servant girl who was waiting for her stopped her. Shi Jin had no choice but to find a place where he could find shade, fan the wind and wait for Qi Mojing to come out.
On the other side of the mountain and stone barrier, there was a faint sound of laughter, smiling warblers and soft words, which made Shi Jin feel like he had entered Wu Nong's soft country for a while.
From her side, a stream of water could be seen like a stream, slowly coming out from the rocks of the mountain, zigzag forward.
There are homemade lotus lamps in the flowing water, and occasionally float by, or send a leaf in the lamp, or wrap a handpa, and even worse, a pill in the ear, hanging on the petals.
Shi Jin felt interesting, picked up a branch from the downstream, picked up a golden lotus lantern from the flowing water, and picked up a handkerchief from it.
The handkerchief is pale pink, and the inscription is a poem: Yingying and falling leaves, Miao Miao and flowing water are wide, where is the way back, and the heart is happy with a long river.
This boudoir lady is really interesting, euphemistic, and full of thoughts.
Shi Jin tied the square handkerchief back to the lotus lantern, and then put it into the water again.
Just as she was enjoying herself, an angry female voice came into her ears, "Whose little girl is this?" I actually salvaged the lotus boat put by the ladies! ”
