Chapter 22: The Dragon Boat Festival
The Hou Mansion rebelled for a few days, and the Wenhou couple did not meet or speak.
Whenever Wen Hou went to court, he would go to Bo's room to rest, go out to drink and feast, and often did not return all night.
Mrs. Wenhou froze with him for a few days, and when she saw that he did not change her mind, she panicked first.
In the hospital where her daughter Wen Hongyao was in the hospital, it was even more tricky.
The Jin Wangfu called Ziqian over every once in a while, and it was a flower viewing and horseback riding, endless excuses.
Purple coriander is partial and cheap, when you go, the flowers and branches are spreading, and you come back like rain to hit plantains.
When I returned home in the middle of the day and night, I was so tormented that I was unclothed, I lost all my shoes and socks, and I was helped barefoot by the maid to enter the room.
The most disturbing thing, she is not ashamed but proud, talking about bed affairs in the sky and daytime, deliberately making Wen Hongyao hear.
When Wen Hongyao was angry and scolded, she cried and rushed to find death and life, and made a lot of contrived appearances.
The eldest lady was so angry that she had no way to control her.
When the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Mrs. Wenhou finally couldn't bear it, so she brought the housekeeper and grandma to the house, and forcibly commanded.
"Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, and I even forgot about the Duanyang Festival. Always have a family reunion and drink realgar to solve zongzi. Outsiders don't need to invite more, the last time Yan's Mansion Jiao has not been returned, just invite Prime Minister Yan and his wife and the book. Shuqin was too busy to bother him. β
When all the servants saw that the lady was the first to succumb, they were overjoyed, and they all said, "Exactly! There are a lot of things to do these days, and we haven't been together for a long time to drink. β
The steward and the servants were all around. The courtyard is full of lights, and the five-colored silk threads are tied with wormwood and calamus.
The courtyard is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the garden is packed up with warblers and butterflies.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun is warm, and the main hall of the back house is a high color shed, and various colored paper kites are tied to it. Xiao Shizi wears a longevity lock, and the sisters of red medicine, green tang, and purple coriander wear five-color sachets.
Wenhou and his wife sat in the shed, and the eight concubines sat left and right, and the family was smiling and thinking about each other, eating wine and watching singing and dancing.
Wen Hou wanted to invite the King of Jin to come to the house, but Wen Hongyao refused to die, for fear that Ziqian would not be honest and shameless, and he would be reluctant at home.
Only Prime Minister Yan and his wife and the second son Yan Shuzhen came. This family is seated in the guest seat. For a while, the cup was staggered, and it was not lively.
At the banquet, Aunt Bo, who had a "miscarriage" the day before yesterday, was the most showy, taking the lead in carrying the wine jug, giving the Wenhou couple a cup, kneeling in front of his wife, and kowtowing improperly.
"The day before yesterday, I confronted Mrs., and I was blinded by the slave's lard, and I lost my heart and went crazy. There is a Taoist family with a thousand mouths, the master is one person, I will pass when the lady raises her hand, and I can't pass if the lady does not raise her hand. Madame had a drink, treated the slave family as a paper kite, and let it go. β
She twisted her words three times, as if she couldn't kneel weakly. Mrs. Wenhou hated this slut when she saw her, and she ignored it, so she couldn't resolve her grievances with her husband.
Looking up at Prime Minister Yan and his wife, seeing Prime Minister Yan raising a glass and nodding at her, Mrs. Yan even smiled and advised: "Why didn't Mrs. Gu take this glass of wine?" Your sisters are reconciled, so my aunt can rest assured. When Mrs. Gu saw that there were many sisters in our house, she was noisy on weekdays, and she was still kind during the New Year's holidays! β
Wen Hou hurriedly smiled and raised his glass, saluted Prime Minister Yan and his wife, and said hesitantly: "Brother in-law is blessed, and sister-in-law governs the family well!" β
Prime Minister Yan Cheng said with a smile: "Where is the brother-in-law!" Although my sister has a temper, her heart is warm, and her brother-in-law forgives her more! β
Mrs. Yan also drank a cup and said, "Mrs. Gu, let's have a drink!" β
When Mrs. Wenhou saw everyone's faces, she had to take a sip of wine from Bo's hand.
Bo bowed two more times, got up and sat next to Wenhou, poured wine and cloth and served him, pampered and proud.
On the surface, the husband and wife reconciled, and Xiao Shizi also hugged him and put it in front of his wife, and Mrs. Wenhou hugged her son, only to be a slut who couldn't be seen as a demon.
The little concubine who was sitting at the head of the lower seat was not idle in her mouth, and she had to point at Sang and scold Huai for being idle.
Seventh Aunt Qi said with a smile: "The sister of the Bo family was just a little moon before, and she went out today, so be careful of the wind!" β
Fifth Aunt Wu sneered: "What is it to go out? Within two days of the miscarriage, the Hou Ye was left in the room. How many times has Hou Ye been to her room these days! β
Liu sat between the two, bowing his head and pretending to be low-key.
Who knew that the Qi family called her: "Sixth sister, the lord favored you more a few months ago, and now he is also in a cold pot." It's good that we sisters, it's all decorations. β
Liu smiled at this time: "You can go to any room with him, but it is just a few of our sisters." is gossiping like this, but it seems to be fighting for the marquis. Let the uncle and the uncle laugh. β
Wu hurriedly said: "Sixth sister can speak!" It's not like the one above, relying on a few years younger, just a year after entering the house, and he is used to bullying men! coaxed Hou Ye so much that he couldn't leave her, and instigated other husbands and wives to turn against her! β
"She talked to herself about miscarriage, who saw the child? will instigate the marquis to marry the lady! Now she is a foxy marquis, I am afraid that in a few days, there will be goods in her stomach! β
They were talking cool words, who knew that Bo would hear a sentence or two from afar.
She rolled her apricot eyes and sneered, "What kind of jokes are you sisters talking about?" Hou Ye is in his prime, and his sisters are like flowers. Who doesn't know how to give birth? Feed one in three years and two years, what are you afraid of! β
A few little aunts don't know the importance of it, and they talk for fun and compete for favor.
But the old aunts refused to speak. They have been in the house for a long time, and they have seen Mrs. Wenhou's wind and thunder methods, and they all bow their heads without saying a word.
Mrs. Wenhou heard the yin and yang weirdness of the concubines, although she kept her face open, she already hated poison in her heart.
After three rounds of drinking, the singing and dancing on it took a temporary break, and a hundred plays were performed.
For a while, the flying pills were stacked and the fish and dragon were drumming, and everyone stopped talking and concentrated on watching the play and cheering.
Lutang sat in the banquet and saw that the red medicine was not there. Zi Qian wore a red and purple wide-sleeved long coat, and her head was full of beads and emeralds, and she laughed proudly with the maid.
Su Su replied with an ear: "The Jin Palace's palace sent a festival gift, the three young ladies and the little prince, each with a five-color silk carved gold gourd. In addition, give more to the eldest lady and the third lady, each with a set of gold silk dotted green heads. The eldest lady was a little unhappy because the things were the same as the third miss's. Who knows, King Jin privately gave the third lady a pair of gold-threaded shoes. She was even more mad and went back to the house first. β
Lutang casually swiped down, and Ziqian had already put on her new shoes. The gold thread is full of embroidered mandarin ducks, and the tips of the shoes are decorated with gold beads and golden bells.
Lu Tang didn't hear it, and Zi Qian deliberately angered the words of the medicine.
"The last time I served His Highness, he stained my embroidered shoes, and today I am rewarded with a new pair of shoes. His Royal Highness said that there was a quiet sound in the quiet place of the golden shoes, and the action was to place the golden bell. If it is shaken on the couch, it will be filled with golden wind and jade dew. His Royal Highness ordered his sister to wear it when she was close to her. β
It's no wonder that Wen Hongyao is not crazy.
Lu Tang smiled and drank two sips of realgar wine, and suddenly felt ominous when he looked up.
There was a glimmer of thief light that was always staring at her, making her uneasy to eat.
Yan Shurut!
He is still a thief, and his eyes and thoughts fell on Lu Tang alone during the banquet.
"Susu?" Lu Tang sneered, turned his head sideways and ordered: "Take the betel nut purse sealed in my makeup." β
"The purse and betel nut are both inferior goods bought in the shop outside, do you want to bring them?" Su Su ripped off the betel nut purse on her waist, "Miss bring this first, I'll go back and give Miss a rookie?" β
"No, just take that." As Lu Tang spoke, he deliberately smiled in his eyes and met the thief's gaze, "This kind of goods is worthy of that!" β
Su Su listened to Lutang's careful instructions and went back to the West Garden with Ling'er to get things.
The green begonia was also drunk and walked to the back garden.
"Sister Lutang? I haven't seen her for a few days, and my sister is more iconic again! β
Sure enough, the beast followed suit, shaking the fan and clinging to it, so that Lutang had nowhere to hide.
"Second son." The green begonia bowed uprightly.
Yan Shuzhen hurriedly grabbed two steps and helped her get up with both hands, "Sister Hugh wants to salute, brother can't stand it!" β
His hand rubbed the green begonia's arm and refused to let go.
"The second brother Hugh wants to pull and let the family gossip." Lu Tang pretended to be shy, and looked around with flashing eyes.
Lutang has always only called him "Yan Ergongzi", and this amorous "second brother" is the first to be exported.
Yan Shuzhen could hear her delicate and soft words, it was like eating half a bowl of Tongqi Pills, and her whole body was flowing smoothly with qi and blood, and she didn't know what her surname was.
"The day before yesterday, I begged my aunt to be a matchmaker, but my sister was not happy and caused civil unrest in your Hou Mansion. Good sister, you don't know that your brother has already taken you in his heart, if he can't get you, how can he live? β
Yan Shuzhe has a long jade faΓ§ade and a handsome face, but it is a pity that he has been indulged in lust for a long time, and his eyes are blue and purple, which is quite broken.
Lu Tang was angry, broke away from his hands, walked to the garden pond, and sneered in his mouth: "Chongxian Guan Jiao, the second brother asked the old Taoist priest to say that I am ominous, pull me off the horse, and let your cousin be the princess!" Dare to talk about my brothers and sisters in front of me! Bah! β
The beauty is angry and has five points of cuteness, and Yan Shuzhi is fascinated, so she hurriedly chased after her and stopped the person.
"The old Taoist priest said on his face, what can I do? I didn't need to pick him up. Good sister, you don't know that King Jin is also a bastard, and it's nothing good to be a princess. If you don't want to be a princess, you just have our fate! β
Lu Tang didn't appreciate it, and snorted angrily: "Don't tell me to smack you!" It's your dearest sister who is the princess, what kind of thing am I? β
Yan Shuzhen couldn't see her coquettish and angry anymore, so he hugged her and smiled: "She's just a cousin, and Sister Lutang is my own sister in my heart!" β
After that, he was bullied and kissed and touched, and he shouted "kiss my sister" endlessly.
Lutang let him be light, pushed him away hard, smiled on his face although he hated it in his heart, stood on the stone by the pond, and deliberately said: "Let's talk well, if this is the case again, see if I don't drag you to jump into the lake!" β
The flowers and branches of laughter trembled.
Yan Shuzhen has coveted Lutang since she was a teenager, and she is charming and charming, but she only hates her for abiding by her boudoir and being polite and self-controlled, but she can't get it.
Now that I see that she is also a frivolous woman, why is she not overjoyed when she sees the meat in her mouth?
He stood by the pool with a smile, and waved helplessly: "Sister, be careful, don't fight!" β
"Which one has trouble with you!" Lu Tang pouted and grimaced, pointed at him and smiled: "Your aunt pointed to you and got engaged to me, and wanted to ignore my dowry, do you know?" If it weren't for the patriarch, I would have become a poor girl! β
Yan Shuzhen hurriedly said: "Good sister, dear sister!" It's good that you just come here! What do we don't have in the Prime Minister's Mansion? The baby of gold and silver, my sister just takes it to play! Where is your dowry rare brother? β
Lu Tang snorted coldly, and said, "It's a good thing to say!" Let me be a concubine for my second brother, I have no name and no share, and I will be a girl for your young lady in the future! Am I willing to be bullied like this? β
"How can I be willing to let my sister be small? In the future, you two will be big or small. I've only met the girl of the Zhou family twice, where do I recognize her? It's also your sister who is in charge, and it's your sister who is favored, and even your son is your sister! β
The obscene appearance of this beast is quite similar to that of the previous life.
Lu Tang's face was full of smiles, and he already had killing intent in his heart.
"Whoa! Which bears a son with you! Shame on you! She covered her face with a handkerchief and laughed sneeringly.
Yan Shuzhen only felt that everything was burning, and he rushed up to hug the person in one step, panting and saying obscenely: "Sister Lutang, my brother has watched you grow up since he was a child, and he can't wait to please you in the room!" You don't know that my brother is sick for you. If I can't get you, will I die? β
Lu Tang sneered and didn't move, stared at him deadly, and chuckled: "Why doesn't my brother die?" β
