Chapter 293: Wedding Banquet
The night is endless.
On the branches of the moon, under the flower window, Ye Lingwu was only wearing plain clothes and lying on the windowsill, and the long green silk was scattered behind his back.
Rong Xiu found a gown and put it on Ye Lingwu's body, and said: "Girl, the slave maid lit a soothing incense for you, you have been tired all the way, you can rest and recuperate early tonight." ”
"Thank you, Sister Rongxiu." Ye Ling Wu'er.
As soon as the words fell, the door was quietly pushed open, Qingtang held a wooden basin, and Yuan Tao walked in with a facekerchief.
"Big girl, the slave maid will wait for you to wash." Qing Tang was cautious, and his eyes glanced at Rongxiu from time to time.
For this first-class female envoy of the Hou Mansion, the two little girls are most ashamed of themselves in their hearts, but they have only been in the Hou Mansion for half a day, and they have seen Rong Xiu's steady and careful work, as well as the lack of stage fright when calling the little female envoy.
Rong Xiu looked nervous at these two little girls, couldn't help laughing, and said like a big sister: "I haven't introduced myself when we meet today, my name is Rong Xiu, I was sold into the Hou Mansion since I was a child, and I am much older than you, you can call me Sister Rong Xiu, and we will serve the girl together in the future." ”
Qingtang nodded, still restrained: "My name is Qingtang, and I hope that Sister Rongxiu will take care of it more in the future." ”
"Hello Sister Rongxiu, my name is Yuan Tao." Yuan Tao laughed.
"When you come to the Hou Mansion, the two of you are a lot quieter, you were in the Ye family before." After that, Ye Lingwu turned to look at Rong Xiu, "These two little girls will trouble Sister Rong Xiu to mention it more in the future." ”
Rong Xiu said: "The girl is serious, how can the slave and maid mention something." ”
"Sister Rongxiu has a lot of places to mention," Yuan Tao said with a smile, "The flower cheese you made for the eldest girl today is very delicious, I am still hungry, when will Sister Rongxiu teach me?" ”
There was silence in the room, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
Rong Xiule said: "Okay, I'll teach you when I'm free." ”
Ye Lingwu said angrily: "You little girl knows how to eat." ”
Yuan Tao smiled and lowered his head.
The two little girls waited for Ye Lingwu to finish freshening up, and then they were dismissed, leaving Rongxiu still making up the bed.
Ye Lingwu sat on the chair and stopped talking for a long time before he spoke: "Sister Rongxiu, why is it so much quieter than before when I come back to the mansion today?" ”
This question is a bit sudden.
After Rong Xiu heard this question, she looked a little dazed, turned her head around and understood, and replied: "After the third girl got married, this mansion will be a lot more deserted, plus the Hou Ye moved to the military camp on the outskirts of the city a few days ago, isn't the Ningbei Hou Mansion much quieter than before." ”
"Master Hou moved to the military camp on the outskirts of the city?" Ye Lingwu was slight.
Rong Xiu smiled lightly and said: "Hou Ye is probably impatient, just a few days ago, the housewife and the old lady kept nagging to let Hou Ye get married as soon as possible, this nagging is too much, Hou Ye has no choice but to hide." ”
Ye Lingwu was silent.
“…… I want the slave to say, it's good that the Hou Ye is not in the Hou Mansion, at least the ears are idle, but a few days ago, the slave and the maid heard the old lady say that the Hou Ye asked His Majesty to resign from the position of the pillar country, which can make the old lady and the master mother angry. ”
Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "Why do you want to resign?" ”
Rong Xiu was speechless, and said after a moment of silence: "The girl's heart is like a mirror, why do you still ask the slave maid." ”
"......" Ye Lingwu pursed his lips.
"Then Your Majesty has agreed?" She asked again.
Rong Xiu shook his head and said in a suppressed voice: "Naturally no, Your Majesty is old, but the Zhao Kingdom is still not peaceful, if you really agree to the Hou Ye, then the court will inevitably be shocked." ”
There is a huge disparity in power between the crown prince and several princes, and Shen Zhan seems to be friendly with the prince over the years, but in fact they are opposites.
Shen Zhan's power is even greater than that of the crown prince, if Shen Zhan resigns and retreats to northern Xinjiang, then the capital and the throne will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the prince sooner or later.
Not to mention that His Majesty disagrees, even other princes can't agree either.
"The girl asked a lot about Hou Ye tonight, and the girl still cares about Hou Ye?" Rong Xiu whispered.
"Nope." Ye Lingwu's eyes fluttered.
Rong Xiu saw through it and said: "It's okay if you don't have it, the girl's future husband is a scholar of Jiang University, and it is important for the girl to care about a scholar of Jiang University." ”
Ye Lingwudai's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Suddenly remembered that in the dream, Rong Xiu followed her into the private courtyard of "Shen Zhan", the boxy courtyard was full of constraints, she could obviously go back to the Ningbei Hou Mansion to continue to be a first-class female envoy, but she was still willing to follow her to the outer room that could not be on the stage, no matter whether the dream was true or not, this friendship was very rare.
She nodded, looked at Rongxiu with a smile and said, "I know, I remember what Sister Rongxiu said." ”
Two days passed suddenly, and it was finally the day of the wedding banquet.
Before the hour, Ye Lingwu was pulled up by Mama Xuan and Rong Xiu to dress up, wearing a crimson placket jacket, with a pleated makeup skirt underneath, the long green silk was all coiled on the top of the head, and there was no broken hair left, and then fixed it with a little emerald inlaid treasure red hairpin, I thought this was the end, but at the end of the sideburns, two tassels were inserted in the sideburns, and if they were not upright, they would jingle loudly.
Completely dressed as a woman.
Ye Lingwu looked at himself in the mirror, his voice seemed to be stuck with something, it was very good-looking, but it looked weird.
The wedding banquet was personally posted by Mrs. Shen, and a full sixteen tables of feasts were held in the outer courtyard hall, with the male guests eating wine in the outer courtyard hall and the female guests setting up another drinking banquet in the inner house.
After a while, there were more and more visitors, only to see that the begonia Zhai room was full of beads and greenery, the rings were ding, the old lady Shen was sitting on the top, Qin Mingyu was second, and the two-room couple went to Fuxian a few days ago, and they were absent today.
A group of girls were led into the side hall to eat tea, and Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er personally greeted them.
This morning, Shen Yue'er saw Ye Lingwu's red-hot appearance, and she almost didn't recognize it, and the fact that the woman was dressed properly from head to toe made her unable to react.
It's ridiculous to say that Shen Paner, who is older than her, got married two months ago, and Ye Lingwu, who is younger than her, has also been married, only she is caught in the middle and has not yet landed.
Just when the girl's seat was lively, someone from the outer courtyard said that the Jiang family had arrived, and Shen Yue'er and Ye Lingwu could only come out of the side hall and go to the hall of the outer courtyard.
"I heard that the eldest brother was not in the capital a few days ago, but he went to Yuzhou?" Shen Yue'er couldn't hold back her curiosity.
Ye Lingwu was unaccustomed to flicking the steps on his head, and when he heard the movements in his hands, he suddenly stiffened, and asked rhetorically, "Who did the fourth girl listen to?" ”
Shen Yue'er watched her reaction, and her heart suddenly understood, and she chuckled: "There is no wind and no waves, not to mention that there is no impermeable wall under this sky." ”
Ye Lingwu said solemnly: "Fourth girl, you can't tell the master mother about this. ”
"I don't say they all know." Shen Yue'er's tone was quiet, "To be honest, I really admire Sister Ling Wu, I originally guessed that you would be my eldest sister-in-law or my second sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that you would marry Scholar Jiang in the end." ”
Ye Lingwu frowned, and said, "Fourth girl, don't make fun of me, how can I be worthy." ”
After the words fell, the two entered the hall of the outer courtyard.
