Chapter 274: The Reunion Banquet in the Governor's Mansion (2)
There is less happiness, more sorrow, life is unsatisfactory, ten are often seven or eight, and being able to be happy in suffering is also a kind of great wisdom.
It is difficult for ideas to cross thousands of mountains, and gathering and dispersing have always been unpopular for reasons.
After receiving the kindness of Xia Muchao for many years, seeing that the young master was in this predicament, Yi Mei Siyuan's temperament could not sit idly by. Although Bailisi was a little reluctant, he had to let Mei Yuanchen return to the capital to help Xia Chengxuan. The only son must be in danger here, and if you are a mother, it is too late to worry, where is there any joy?
It's just that she has no power to change it, so she simply set up this temporary banquet.
There were three tables of eight immortals with a girdle above the dining room, and several old mothers were bringing dishes to the room.
"There are all relatives and friends in Meifu here, it's rare to get together so much today, let's have a reunion banquet together. Mei Siyuan walked to the middle and laughed loudly.
After speaking, he led everyone to their seats.
On the upper seat are Mei Siyuan, Bailisi, Yun Kite, Yun Po, Zhan Tong, Zhan Cheng, and Zhan Jue. The other one was originally left to Hu Xiwei, but he shirked the future.
On the left seat are Mei Yuanchen, Yun Hu, Yun Harrier, Begonia, Bailing, Shui Ling, Bai Ze, and Xiaoxue, among which Bai Ze and Haitang are holding Fu Changsheng and Mei Xinyue respectively.
On the right seat are Fu Punishment, Fu Chou, He Jing, Yin Chenghui, Xue Renmo, Gu Yiqing, Zhai Kai and Shen Sentinel Camp Zuo Weilin Jueming.
Although Lin Jueming was ordered by the emperor to lead fifty divine sentinels to protect Mei Siyuan, he had worked hard and done everything for several months, which was not much inferior to the Zhiyun and Fu families. The banquet here is both for food and gratitude, and he deserves a seat.
Twelve dishes were placed on each of the three dining tables, Mei Siyuan toasted the wine, and everyone ate and drank. For a while, there was talk and laughter in the hall, so it was lively and festive!
... ...
In the old courtyard, which was less than 300 zhang away from the Yanyun Governor's Mansion, Hu Xiwei stood under the eaves, holding tightly the secret letter sent by him for a long time.
"Master Mei, you and I respect each other, Hu didn't dare to lose each other. Hu Xi sighed slightly, "However, the Lord's order is difficult to disobey, and the will of heaven makes people... If you know that you are reluctant, only you can only fulfill your wish. Looking forward to the next life, you and I will no longer be enemies. ”
Last night, he came to visit and talked with Mei Siyuan for a long time, knowing that his talent, morality, and feelings were all first-class in the world, and he hated to see each other late. thought that the two could become confidants and conspire for a big thing, but he didn't want such a sudden change to happen here, which caught him off guard.
Early in the morning, Mei Siyuan sent Xue Renmo to invite him to the house for dinner, but Hu Xiwei had to excuse himself.
Where does he dare to go?
"Hall Master, the line is all in order. A man in gray walked over from the courtyard and bowed down to report.
Hu Xi nodded slightly, and commanded softly: "Tell the brothers to change into new clothes and stand by on the spot." ”
Although the act of replacing the head is to cover up the ears and steal the bell, it is better than killing the Yanyun Minister's Mansion in a grand manner. He didn't want and didn't dare to let Mei Siyuan know that the people who wanted to harm him were actually those who claimed to protect him.
"People who die with resentment cannot be reincarnated, they will turn into powerful ghosts and wander in the yang world..."
Hu Xiwei hopes that no one will ever know this secret.
... ...
Hate Hongchen didn't sleep well last night, and dreamed all night.
In a dream, she vaguely saw an old couple. The old couple stood three or four feet away from her, their foreheads furrowed, and they kept saying something, but she could not hear half of it.
In another dream, she dreamed that she seemed to have turned into a red carp, swimming in a pool of shallow water. Although she didn't see it, she could feel that somewhere in the water, there was a "self" quietly looking at her.
Hate Hongchen rarely dreams, and the previous Bodhicitta once said that she was destined to be a ruthless person.
"You are an extremely rare destiny that will kill everyone close to you, and you are destined to be lonely and miserable in this life..."
The previous bodhicitta was a scholar who brought her to the Nine Halls in the early spring of seventeen years ago.
Usually, the people of the Nine Halls do not bring babies back from outside, they prefer children as young as three or four years old. After all, babies are not easy to feed and much more troublesome to care for.
Bodhicitta says that it is a condition.
The world is vast, and it is a fate to be able to meet her on the road, and her life is a fate for the two lonely stars that have not been met in a century. The fate of the Heavenly Demon Shuanggu has a demonic gravitational pull for those who are destined for each other. Therefore, he made an exception and brought her back, and she has been carefully cared for in the temple all these years. not only taught her to read and write, but also taught her all the martial arts.
In terms of fate, the two are the love of master and apprentice.
Of course, there is no master-apprentice relationship in the Nine Halls. Bodhicitta is a master, she is a "childish" who wants to be a killer when she grows up.
The first time she carried out her mission, she went to the Snow Country Unharmed Mountain with Bodhicitta to kill the owner of the Pure Court Villa, Yin Wuji.
Of the ten most precious medicinal herbs in the world, two are only produced in the unharmed mountains in the far north of the Snow Country: Huarong Snow Lotus and Black Blood Ginseng. And seventy percent of the Huarong Snow Lotus and Black Blood Ginseng from Wushu Mountain have entered Jingting Villa, so the Yin family has been the richest man in the Snow Country for many years.
Someone came to the Nine Palaces and paid a high price to buy Yin Wuji's head.
She brought back Yin Wuji's head, but Bodhicitta and more than fifty dead people remained in the snowy region forever.
On the day of the handover, she also had a dream for the night, just like last night.
... ...
In the dining room, although everyone had their own thoughts, they did not show it, eating and drinking recklessly.
Although the women of Begonia, Bai Ze, and Xiaoxue are not good at drinking, they also frequently raise their glasses during the banquet. Mei Yuanchen was worried that they were drunk, so he brought a kettle and poured half a jar of hot water into the wine jar.
It's really strange today, at this time, "the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed the five flavors", but no one shows a drunken state, no wonder the world will say "parting wine, a thousand cups are not intoxicating".
The cups are exhausted, the plates and bowls are borrowed, and the sound of the excitement gradually subsides. Without wine to cover up, how can you decorate your feelings?
Thinking about it, Mei Yuanchen was about to leave the house for a while, and I don't know when I would meet again, Baili couldn't help but feel emotional, and his eyes were red and he left the table. Fu Punishment, Bai Ze and others were also reluctant and helpless, and returned to each room and courtyard one after another.
"Childe, come to my room, I have something for you. Begonia's cheeks were slightly red and drunk, and she whispered Mei Yuanchen.
After finishing speaking, he went straight to the backyard.
Mei Yuanchen felt as uncomfortable as pressing a boulder in his chest, and followed closely behind her.
Begonia's bedroom is at the outermost point of the backyard, and it takes only twenty breaths to go.
"Squeak~~~" With a sound, Mei Yuanchen closed the door smoothly, and before his body turned around, he felt that he was being hugged tightly.
