Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tears of the East China Sea

Suddenly, there was an endless stream of guests inside and outside the Shilang Mansion, and there were people bustling everywhere. The stage in the garden also started, she put Chu Li on her side, the little doll naturally didn't like the babbling drama, and was bent on eating the pastries on the table, Chu Yunjing ordered someone to take the pastries away, Chu Li pouted unhappily, so she took a puppet for Chu Li to play, which was honest.

At this time, Chu Yunxi, who had a disgruntled face, came to the garden, and Chu Yunxi instantly turned into an unhappy face when she saw her.

She glanced at it leisurely, very satisfied, this body looked much safer.

In the garden, there are not only hundreds of delicate and beautiful flowers, but also dozens of beautiful flowers, red and willow green ladies, and also young men who are full of spirits, each with their own hearts, to say that this is an ice feast, it is better to say that it is a blind date banquet.

The seats in these two rows are one step higher than the front, so that the rear ones don't get obstructed by the front ones.

On her left is the wife of the Wenhou family, and on the right is the wife and young daughter of the Liu family of the Marquis of Mingyuan, and the three of them are the three women with the highest status in this banquet.

Today's banquet of the Chu family has more high doors than the Zhengguo Mansion, perhaps because the Zhengguo Gong does not know how to be a man, and the real power of the household department is indeed more than that of the Hao family.

Marquis Mingyuan is the younger brother of the first queen, Yu Gui She wants to call Mrs. Marquis Mingyuan an aunt, her family has a fifteen-year-old young daughter, but unfortunately she has already married, and the Liu family may not be able to look at the Chu family, the Liu family has always been low-key, and it is estimated that it is also for the face of King Qi to come to the banquet of the Chu family today.

Wenhou is mostly a man, today Mrs. Wenhou brings the third young lady, the fourth lady, the fifth lady and the fifth son, the Wen family is one of the few princes and marquis who is still fighting on the battlefield, and the third prince Wen Shao is a general who leads the troops under the command of King Qi.

Mrs. Wen worships the first product, even Mrs. Mingyuan Marquis is only a second grade, just because Mrs. Wen is a heroine among women, and she was the only female general in Dafeng.

The fourth lady is also bold, and she followed the sons to try her archery, and she was really the girl who came out of the door.

"I heard that Niangniang was sick a few days ago, but now she is getting better?" It was the third young lady of the Wen clan who spoke.

She looked to the left, and there was a young woman wearing a blue light veil about twenty-three or four, and the small jasper was very clear and handsome, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

"The palace feels sorry for me, and the good medicine is sent to the house, and now it's very good." She replied with a smile.

The Wen family still has some relationship with the Chu family, the eldest son of the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Chu family, the eldest aunt of Chu married General Yu died more than ten years ago, she has been in the empty door for many years, and rarely mixed with some things, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Yu family are busy with family affairs, and today they also brought the eldest son of the family to sit next to the Qiao family.

Wen Shao's wife has also been alone in the empty house for many years, and when Wen Shao comes back every year, the two have a son and a daughter, which is considered happy.

"It's good that the body is well, the concubine has always wanted to visit, but I'm afraid that the mother will be sick and disturb the mother's cultivation."

She sat on the cushion of the low stool, folded her hands on her knees, and replied politely: "You have a heart, let's move around more in the future, lest I have no one to speak to in the house." ”

"If the mother is bored in the house, go to our house more, a few girls are not much different in age from you, and there is something to say." Mrs. Mingyuan waited for a talk.

Liu is close to her husband, and the words she says don't seem rusty, even if it's just a hasty side on the wedding day.

After marrying the prince, she knew that the Chu family was just a medium-sized high-ranking family, even if the He family lost power or the Hao family lost power, it was beyond reach, and the princes and princes were the real nobles, and it was precisely because of marrying the prince that the Chu family's family was carried a lot, so there was such a big banquet.

Several people were chatting left and right, He Wen ushered in a young lady who was holding the moon with stars, and He Wen and a woman in brocade clothes who had never met followed behind.

Who is the young lady who is jeweled, dressed in red and yellow, with a big flower and tree? Didn't He really get a princess? But there is no princess of this age.

She was puzzled, Aunt An leaned in her ear and said: "Walking with the master mother is her maiden sister, the young lady in front is the lord of Zhuwen, and her maiden sister is the lady of the Earl Jiang's mansion, the Jiang family has always been close to the Hengwang family, and the county lord of Hewen is the young daughter of His Royal Highness the Heng king." ”

King Heng is the cousin of today's saint, and this county is mainly called her imperial sister-in-law according to generation.

I saw that the lord of Zhuwen County had a delicate face, snow-white skin, round eyes, and a small mouth like a cherry, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Chu Yunjing, but his temperament was very different.

In a hundred or ten steps, the county lord of Zhuwen walked up to her with great attention and raised his face: "Zhuwen has seen my sister-in-law!" ”

Then the women saluted the county lord of Hewen, and Qiao Shi gave up his seat below him and asked the county lord to take a seat.

Zhu Wen raised his voice, and pointed to Chu Li's seat with satisfaction: "No need, I'll be next to my sister-in-law, both of us are the highest here!" ”

Everyone present was shocked when this sentence was said, this little county lord was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and no one taught him when he went out?

Qiao's family is making a difficult mistake, and according to the ceremony, the county lord should be shorter than the princess.

Chu Yunjing said to the maid with five expressions: "Hold Li'er down, the eldest aunt will arrange for the county lord to be by my side!" ”

The two were speechless, the atmosphere was a little awkward, the two sisters-in-law who had never met sat so close, her movements seemed stiff, but Zhu Wen didn't care, and watched the play with interest.

It's almost noon, and at this moment, the old tree knows that it can't stop screaming, but fortunately, the eaves of the pavilion are big enough, and the people below are tightly covered, plus the cool air of Bingjian, and the maid behind her is shaking the fan unhurriedly, which is very comfortable.

After a while, Zhu Wen was hooked away by the sound of throwing pots in the courtyard of the square, and went to throw pots with a group of young ladies, and she was relieved.

"Niangniang, you see, there are also the young lady of Guo Shaoqing's family and Dr. Ma's sister who throw pots with the county lord over there, and the young lady of a small family can throw the pot with the county lord, but it is a blessing from several generations of cultivation." Aunt Ann whispered in her ear, her eyes sweeping the ground in all directions.

She followed the prestige, and there was an inconspicuous little girl with a sad face at the back of the crowd, who looked really moon-like, and her posture was also knowledgeable, wearing an apricot-colored full-breasted skirt, and she was a beauty, she was squeezed behind the crowd, and she didn't dare to go in to play together, maybe because she was excluded.

I hadn't noticed this young lady before, and if Aunt An hadn't pointed it out, maybe I wouldn't have paid too much attention to it.

No wonder Qiao's fell in love with this girl, not to mention her beauty, her brother is Dr. Guozijian, he must be talented and well-read, how can a woman from such a family be a non-polite? Although her brother is in the Guozijian office, but the reputation of the champion is not covered, there must be a day to get ahead, and now he is close to the Chu family, and he reminds each other that he will get a high-ranking official in the future, and he will also be related to the Chu family, so he is calculating.

At this moment, it was Zhu Wen and Miss Guo who threw the pot, and with one cheer after another, it was obvious that Zhu Wen had won, and the girl's family laughed like a copper bell.

This high-door and low-door are indeed different, one dares to go in and fight, and the other only dares to wait and see.

At this time, a group of boys behind him shouted: "Let's all come to the competition to see who can be superior in this archery!" ”

"Good! And Bibi, I will beat you to the ground. ”

The one who spoke was Wen Zhao, the fifth son of Wen, with a light gray narrow-sleeved round-necked robe and a silver crown to tie his hair, he was just tied last year, his complexion was wheat-colored, and his body was much stronger, which was probably the reason for many years of martial arts. Seeing that there is a gap between this man who practices literature and martial arts, the few in his own family are a little angry.

Hearing the clamor of the young men, she got up and walked back, and stood still at the steps of the pavilion, looking at the energetic and eager faces of several people.

There are four or five acres of land at this target area, with a two-meter-wide cobblestone path leading to the Xiang Pavilion, and four or five target posts are erected in the green grass on the left side of the Xiang Pavilion. On the right is the shooting area, with more than a dozen quivers and more than a dozen bows and arrows hanging on the four- or five-meter-long weapon rack, and the teenagers have gone to pick out the weapons they have in hand.

"Wen Gongzi Hugh wants to make a big fuss, and he won't be able to hang his face if he loses later, hahahahaha!"

A few boys joked and provoked.

"Hahahaha, my Wen family is never afraid of archery competitions, everyone let the horses come!" Wen Zhao patted his chest heroically, not afraid at all.

"What are we going to do for the competition?"

"This is inevitable, please also ask the princess to take some lottery heads, and a few of us will fight for it!"

These sons have their own three younger brothers, including Wen Zhao, the eldest grandson of the eldest aunt and grandmother, Yu Jian, the youngest son and the sixth son of General Zhao's family, the third son of Qiao Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, the son of Xu Duwei, and the second son and the third son of Huang Thorn Shi..... The eyes of everyone present were all cast towards Chu Yunjing who was standing on the steps.

A total of fifteen or sixteen sons coaxed to participate in the battle in the center, and the young ladies who threw pots, enjoyed flowers, and frolicked everywhere also gathered around to watch the excitement.

Chu Wei was listening from the sidelines, and when he heard that he wanted to ask his sister for a reward, he hurriedly interjected worriedly: "The princess doesn't like to wear hairpin rings, and this time she is begging for luck, I'm afraid that my sister will dress up today and the only few hairpins are gone!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and said yes, she smiled in her eyes, and then touched the back of her neck with both hands, and took off the large string of pearls around her neck: "This string of tears of the East China Sea mermaid is the marriage of the palace, and it will be used as today's color head!" ”

Aunt Ann put a whole string of evenly sized pearl necklaces on the color plate and brought it to the audience, and everywhere the women looked at it in amazement.

"This mermaid tears in the East China Sea are the most precious pearls in the world, and it is rumored that the tears of the mermaids in the East China Sea turn pink, like this kind of beads of size and color, I am afraid that it is even rarer, and the princess is really generous!" Mrs. Wenhou said with joy.
