Chapter 109: Attending the Banquet
The ice basin filled with ice cubes unceremoniously released the chill, and on the round table, all kinds of delicate pastries were placed there, and on one side there was a sweet soup with ice cubes, and the sweet soup was dotted with a few fresh peach petals that were not seen at this time of year.
But these delicate meals did not attract the attention of the owner of the house, who was now carefully examining his dress in front of the bronze mirror.
Meng Wencong looked at himself who was slightly blurred in the bronze mirror, and with some dissatisfaction, he threw away the mutton fat white jade pendant that was worth a lot of money at a glance on his waist and said, "Give me another one, this piece of jade doesn't match my outfit today." ”
The little servant who was waiting nimbly caught the piece of jade pendant with his hands and feet, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He didn't dare to judge the young master's actions, so he could only silently find a new green jade for him and help Meng Wencong tie it around his waist.
Meng Wencong didn't seem to be very satisfied with this piece of kodyu, but seeing that the time was almost up, he could only give up for the time being.
He secretly remembered in his heart that when he came back, he would definitely go to the Jewel Workshop to pick up a few more things that he liked, and said to the little guy next to him: "What, have you inquired about everything you asked?" ”
"Back to the young master, I have inquired clearly, the eldest lady of the Su family has already given a reply, saying that she will come to the banquet today." The little guy replied respectfully.
Meng Wencong was satisfied.
In fact, as early as after Emperor Wei's birthday banquet, he wanted to find an opportunity to contact Su Hengyu, but because the other party moved to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion would not bring this daughter to the banquet, so he never saw Su Hengyu again.
This time, it took a lot of effort for him to let his friend, the prince of the Marquis of Yongsheng, help him, and invited someone out in the name of the sister of the Marquis of Yongsheng.
"Alright, let's go." Meng Wencong said.
The little servant silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then followed Meng Wencong out.
The Yongsheng Marquis Mansion is more liked by Emperor Wei than the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, unlike the mediocrity and incompetence of the current Zhongyong Marquis, the head of the Yongsheng Marquis is a smart and good camp.
Not only does he know how to make friends with the family in Beijing, but he is also close to local ministers.
Marquis Yongsheng was an extremely smart person, and he was very good at reading Emperor Wei's eyes. For the nobles who will not make trouble for themselves, but will bring some benefits from time to time, Emperor Wei will naturally not be too harsh.
With these relationships, although the Marquis of Yongsheng did not serve in the court, his family also had a good life. Therefore, his family held a banquet, and the courtiers and other nobles were also willing to give some face.
By the time Meng Wencong arrived at the Yongsheng Marquis Mansion, half of the guests here had already arrived. He had a close relationship with the prince of Yongsheng Hou, and as soon as the other party saw him, he took the initiative to greet him.
"It's really strange, it's rare to see you one day early." Fang Ruoqi, the prince of Yongsheng Hou, had a smile on his face, "What, is it still for the beauty you saw?" ”
Since he was asked by his friend to entrust Su Hengyu to the post, Fang Ruoqi has figured out what Meng Wencong meant. He knew that his friend was a little, but Meng Wencong did have some flaws in women's sex, but there was nothing in his way as a friend.
So even if he understands that Meng Wencong will not be a good match, Fang Ruoqi is willing to match him with Su Hengyu.
Anyway, it's not to marry his sister to Meng Wencong, then Su Hengyu heard that she is not young, but no one in Beijing is willing to propose to her family, Meng Wencong is willing to contact her, isn't it also a good thing?
Fang Ruoqi thought so, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
was teased by his friends, Meng Wencong had a rare smile on his face: "Yes, isn't it that when I saw her that day, I thought I didn't belong, and I wanted to see that Miss Su again today, if people are also interested in me, then I can go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to propose marriage." ”
"I think that as long as you take the initiative to express your heart, that Miss Su will definitely not refuse." Fang Ruoqi said.
After all, he had heard of what Su Hengyu's reputation had become in the capital.
Finally, with a ship like Meng Wencong willing to rescue her from the bitter sea, it is no wonder that this Miss Su is unwilling.
The two said that Meng Wencong was already secretly looking for Su Hengyu's whereabouts.
It's just that the positions of the ladies and men are not in the same place, and today's banquet is also held for young people, and the people invited are all people who are a little closer to the Yongsheng Hou family.
Meng Wencong couldn't go over to find someone straightforwardly, and at a glance, he couldn't find any trace of Su Hengyu.
Just when he was thinking about whether to send someone over to call Su Hengyu out to meet him, a light blue figure slowly walked over from the direction of the gate.
The woman was wearing a pale blue dress, and the hair ornament on her head was not complicated, but it shone in the daylight.
If you look closely, it is actually made of colored glass!
The glazed hairpin was made in the shape of a flower, and a few round and crystalline glass beads fell down and fell between the girl's black hair.
It's obviously a very simple dress, and it can even be called low-key. But the moment she appeared, it attracted the attention of many people, just because of her overly clear face.
Meng Wencong even heard the obvious inhalation sound of his friend next to him, and then Fang Ruoqi whispered into his ear and said: "I said that this kid loves to stare at beauties, this time I heard you say that you liked that Su Hengyu, and I thought you had changed your temper." I didn't expect this Su Hengyu to be such a beauty! ”
Ruoqi had also seen Su Hengyu from the front, but although Su Hengyu looked good-looking at that time, he was not as glamorous as he is today.
Unexpectedly, today's Su Hengyu is like a pearl that has been wiped off the dust on it, and finally released the fluorescence inside without hesitation.
After Meng Wencong had already taken a fancy to Su Hengyu, he directly regarded the other party as his belongings. At this moment, when he heard his friend praise the beauty of the girl he fancied, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, the pride on his face could not be concealed.
As soon as he put away the fan in his hand, he wanted to step forward and make contact with Su Hengyu.
However, Su Hengyu didn't pay any attention to Meng Wencong's meaning, she noticed Meng Wencong's gaze on her as early as she entered the door.
Not to mention Fang Ruoqi's scrutiny, just Meng Wencong's inevitable eyes made Su Hengyu very disgusted.
She still remembers the other party's face, and even remembers the unpleasant chance encounter at the door of "Hua Xiangrong" that day.
Thinking about it again, this person didn't show a look of surprise or surprise after seeing her, and then another relief that he had finally waited, Su Hengyu guessed that he would be invited to the Yongsheng Marquis Mansion It was probably related to this person.
Since he knew that this banquet was a Hongmen banquet at all, Su Hengyu certainly wouldn't let himself have too much contact with the young man.
She walked to the side of Fang Ruoxin, the young lady of the Yongsheng Hou family, and said to the girl who still had some baby fat: "Thank you Miss Fang for inviting me to come to the banquet, Hengyu has seen Miss Fang." ”
Fang Ruoxin actually noticed Su Hengyu early on, such a strange beauty appeared in his yard, Fang Ruoxin was not blind, of course he saw it soon.
It's just that she didn't recognize Su Hengyu's identity, and now she heard her take the initiative to come up to say hello, so she remembered the person in front of her, and then immediately came back to her senses, greeted Su Hengyu and greeted each other, and led her to the place where the girls were.
Meng Wencong saw that the beauty had left, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.
But it doesn't matter, there is still a lot of time today, and he will create opportunities to have contact with Su Hengyu.
