Chapter 84: Hairpin Feast 1
Ning Ruyan turned her head, and met the other party's slightly sneering and disgusted eyes, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, in this life, she had only seen each other at the palace banquet last time, and she was not familiar with it, but in her previous life, they knew each other, and they had even been slapped by each other, but she didn't hate each other at all, because this was really a downright and bright girl.
"I've met Miss Sui, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Sui Changying looked at Ning Ruyan, her eyes were a little complicated: "Ning Ruyan, I know you are innocent, but what if Jiang Bonian has amnesia?" He owes my big brother a leg. ”
Sui Changying's father, Sui Yuan, was the Enwei general of Zhengsanpin, and led troops to garrison the northern frontier all the year round.
In fact, before that, the general of Dingguo was stationed in the northern frontier, the old general of Dingguo had the grace of Sui Yuan, and later the old general passed away, Jiang Changgong took over the Jiang family army and became the border commander, but unfortunately, the ability was not enough, after several defeats, he was abandoned by the emperor, and Sui Yuan became the commander.
However, Sui Yuan has always respected the Jiang family and Jiang Changgong.
When Yu Linwei besieged the Jiang family, the other families were afraid of being implicated, but only the Sui family sent someone to ask, and later Jiang Bonian came to the funeral, and the Jiang family also came to condolence and even help for the first time.
However, Jiang Changgong occasionally felt that Sui Yuan had robbed him of his position and credit, so he felt that whatever the Sui family did, he felt that it was right.
Sui Yuan and his wife gave birth to three sons and a daughter, the eldest son Sui Changsheng was both civil and military since he was a child, followed his father to the battlefield in his teens, and made many military exploits.
However, every time it is compared, it seems that Jiang Bonian is inferior.
This time, Beiyuan committed the border again, Sui Yuan sat in the clinic, and the coach of the battle was Sui Changsheng, and Jiang Bonian was his deputy general.
But Jiang Bonian's ability is not good, but his self-confidence is strong, he is just compared in the capital, and he is a head shorter than the other party on the battlefield, so how can he do it?
Therefore, he was bent on proving that he was stronger than the other party, so he blindly advanced without listening to the command, which led to the fiasco of Antongguan, resulting in the tragic death of all 30,000 Jiang soldiers, and no one survived.
Antong Pass was lost, and the Northern Yuan army was equivalent to opening the door of the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the end, it was Sui Changsheng who fought bloodily with the Sui family's army, almost exhausted the last drop of blood, and finally regained Antongguan, but it was also in that war that the Sui family army led by him was almost wiped out, and he himself suffered more than 40 blows all over his body, and he was carried out of the pile by his own entourage.
Later, although he picked up a life, he was disfigured and broke a leg, and since then, the heroic General Sui Xiao with red clothes and white horses can only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
"I don't know him well." Ning Ruyan raised his eyes and looked at Sui Changying, and said in his heart that he owes your eldest brother a leg, he still owes the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and owes three lives to our master and servant.
"You ......"
"On the day of the wedding, he took off his hijab and left, I waited for more than half a year, what I was waiting for, I believe Miss Sui also knows, so, you tell me this...... I feel aggrieved. Ning Ruyan took a deep breath, her eyes reddened slightly, "Now, my Wutong Courtyard is open and exiting alone, and my dowry has even been taken away." ”
A trace of guilt flashed in Sui Changying's eyes, when Jiang Bonian came back, what happened at the gate of the city had already been spread, and when she saw Ning Ruyan just now, she was just angry, she was not a vicious person, but at this time she was a little sympathetic to the other party, and then her expression became a little sneering: "That...... I'm sorry. ”
"Miss Sui." Ning Ruyan smiled, "You are not sorry for me, it is Jiang Bonian who is sorry for the Sui family, he is sorry for the Great Xia Kingdom, and he is sorry for me." ”
Sui Changying opened his mouth, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
It also happened that at this time, a eunuch came out to sing and said: "The eldest princess has arrived." ”
Then everyone hurriedly stood up.
Soon, the eldest princess Xia Xue, who was dressed in a bright dress, walked over with Mama Hong's hand, glanced at everyone, and then sat down on the main seat.
The crowd hurriedly saluted collectively.
"Let's all sit down." The eldest princess gestured.
After everyone thanked them, they sat down according to their status.
Ning Ruyan has no decree or canonization, and the Jiang family now belongs to the category that has declined, so her position is relatively low.
"The days are so fast, it's been another year, last year, Bengong remembered that Miss Liu and Su Lao Er won the first place." The eldest princess smiled, "Let's see who can replace them this year." ”
No matter what kind of banquet it is, it will basically be reduced to looking at each other in the end, so the guests will have a talent show, but this one is mostly participated by single men and women, and only when it is displayed can people see it and like it.
Anyone who participates in the performance will receive flowers from the audience, and whoever has more flowers will naturally be the leader, and moreover, men and women will vote for each other.
But anyone who can participate in the banquet of the eldest princess is the children of the nobles of the major families, and the children of these families will receive a good education since childhood.
After receiving a post to attend a banquet, those who want to perform will fill in the items to be performed, and when they enter Manheyuan, they will return the post, and the host of the banquet will prepare according to the items filled in the post.
The first one to play last year was Miss Liu, that is, Liu Sisi, who has been married, her piano skills have been praised by the queen, and the original song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" has been talked about for a long time.
And the first one to play this year is Liu Jiajia.
Liu Jiajia has been dancing since childhood, and she danced at the palace banquet at the beginning, and this time she naturally danced, but this time it was obviously carefully prepared, and the dance was inspiring.
Soon, a giant drum was lifted up, and Liu Jiajia, dressed in a red dance dress, jumped barefoot on the drum surface, and the silver bell on her ankle made a crisp and pleasant sound.
Accompanied by music, Liu Jiajia flips and moves, the person is beautiful, and the dance is even more beautiful, not to mention men, even women can see straight eyes.
No wonder the eldest princess once said that the two girls of the Liu family are very good.
It's just that Ning Ruyan can't understand why Jiang Yan doesn't like such an outstanding girl? In his previous life, he even scolded others for being ugly, where was it ugly?
After the dance, Liu Jiajia won a full house, and then the number one appearance of the male guest, surprisingly, the first male guest to appear was Jiang Peng, the second young master of the Protector's Mansion. (End of chapter)
