Chapter 139: The Newly Adopted Godson
After tossing all morning, Zhou Liniang, who finally finished dressing up Qu Qingge, raised her eyes and looked at her.
Dressed in a purple brocade robe, the young man Changsheng Yuli, wearing a purple and gold crown, a white jade belt around his waist, although his body looks a little thin, but he is tall and spirited, with a gentle temperament, a circle of white fluffy fox fur around his neck, and a circle of white fluffy fox fur collar around his neck further sets off his fair and handsome appearance, his eyebrows are picturesque, his peach blossom eyes are amorous, and the tails of his eyes are full of flowing style.
sighed in her heart that her daughter's face was really evil, and Zhou Liniang finally hung a hand-sewn purse with a green bottom bamboo pattern on Qu Qingge's waist, which was a great success.
"My daughter is really handsome!" Zhou Liniang joked with a smile.
"That's also a good mother's birth. Qu Qingge complimented, which made Zhou Liniang laugh even more happily.
"It's time for the guests to arrive, and come with me to receive them. Zhou Liniang remembered that the start time of the banquet was almost coming under the whispered reminder of the big girl on the side, and hurriedly pulled Qu Qingge to the front yard to receive visitors.
At this time, outside the gate of the Qu family in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, there was already a lot of traffic, and the flow of people was endless, and many or luxurious, or elegant, or simple sedan chairs and carriages stayed outside the gate of the Qu family, and people dressed in brocade clothes walked down from the inside, and went to the house elegantly.
The big housekeeper standing at the door with a few small maids was busy receiving these distinguished guests, the female relatives were led to the backyard, and the male guests were led to the front yard.
"Sister Gao. Zhou Liniang saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and her eyes lit up, and she greeted her with a light song.
Not far away, a noblewoman with an elegant appearance and a demure and dignified temperament heard Zhou Liniang's call, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Zhou Liniang calling her, and she was immediately overjoyed.
This noble lady is from the Jinbohou Mansion, the second line of the family, is a daughter-in-law, and married to a distant cousin of the childhood sweetheart Nanguo Gongzi as a wife, the two love sweetly after marriage, and there is no concubine room involved, after the death of the old Nanguo Gong, the prince inherited the title, and she naturally became the super Nanguo Duchess.
Because when Nanguo Gong was still the son of the world, he went to the border pass guarded by Qu Qiaoshan as a general for a few years, and had a good personal relationship with Qu Qiaoshan.
Later, because the Qu family had an immortal daughter, the status of the Qu family rose with the tide, and Jin Zhongxun wanted to make friends with the Qu family, which made the Qu family annoying, and the Nanguo Gong's family became more and more precious before the Qu family was developed.
Therefore, the Duchess of Nanguo is one of Zhou Liniang's rare handkerchiefs in gold.
"Sister Zhou. Nanguo Duchess Gao affectionately grabbed Zhou Liniang's arm, exchanged a few words with her, and saw the handsome young man who followed Zhou Liniang politely, and couldn't help but praise in her heart, what a noble and elegant young man.
"This is your newly adopted godson, right?" The Duchess of Nanguo had a good relationship with Zhou Liniang, and she was curious, so she asked bluntly.
"Indeed, this is the new child I and my husband have adopted, named Ge Qing, because he has not yet reached the crown, he has not yet spoken, he is a good child, I regard it as a parent, and he is the most beloved. Qing'er, come and greet your aunt. Zhou Liniang gently beckoned to Qu Qingge behind her.
"Boy Ge Qing, I've seen Aunt Gao. Qu Qingge bowed to Gao, but did not bend down and bow his head, which was actually a bit rude, but seeing that Zhou Liniang didn't say anything, Gao also ignored this point with interest.
"Good boy, my aunt just has a piece of beautiful jade here, and the beautiful jade matches the young man, it is a good match, you can accept it. Gao smiled and gave a unicorn jade pendant that he knew at a glance was specially prepared in advance to Qu Qingge.
Qu Qingge smiled gently, elegantly stretched out his hand to take it, and bowed to Gao's hand to say thank you.
This is a child who knows how to be grateful, Gao looked at Qu Qingge's eyes with a trace of gentle love, and he seemed a little closer.
The Qu family set up two banquets in the inner and outer courtyards, set up dozens of tables of feasts, the male guests sat in the outer courtyard, accompanied by Qu Qiaoshan and Qu Qingge Qu Qingge, and the female guests were in the inner courtyard, accompanied by Qu Zhang's and Zhou Liniang, Qu Qingxian was still young, not among the men and women, and there was no need to care about avoiding danger, so he stayed in the inner courtyard to take care of Qu Zhang's family.
Qu Qiaoshan laughed heartily and took Qu Qingge to introduce people everywhere, he hadn't been so excited for a long time, this kind of thing that can wantonly take his children everywhere to introduce and show off to others really makes people feel happy.
In fact, according to the customs of Dayang, the first time she met the elders, as a sign of respect for the younger generation, she had to bow down, but except for her own father and grandmother, no one here was qualified to let her bend over and bend her respect, so she bowed and handed it over.
The Gao family didn't care about it before, and the men had big hearts after all, most of them didn't notice this detail, and the people who noticed it didn't dare to offend her because of the power of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, so until the end of the banquet, no one embarrassed her about it.
Today's plum feast is an all-day feast, and it will not end until the dinner has been eaten in the morning, so after the luncheon, these people will gather together in twos and threes, or talk highly, or whisper private affairs, or meet to enjoy flowers, compose poems, write lyrics, paint, play chess, throw pots, etc., in short, each has its own entertainment.
"It's just that the plum blossom is boring, so why don't I wait and invite all the ladies to play drumming and passing flowers. "The third son of the Zhenguo Mansion, Qi Xiuyong proposed with great interest.
"Yes. Qu Qingzhen glanced at his sister beside him and nodded in response.
Nowadays, the atmosphere is more open, although the secular world will still take care of men and women to a certain extent, but under the influence of the cultivation world, the secular rules are not so strong in the constraints on women, if any little lady has great ambitions, she can also take the imperial examination, enter the court as an official, and even take a look at Qu Qingge's previous life, take the road of joining the army, and become a generation of female generals.
Generally, as long as there are elders or more subordinates watching, and it is an upright occasion, the nobles and sons of various families can still get together to have fun, and it will not affect the reputation, so Qi Xiuyong's proposal is not too much.
And Qu Qingzhen wants her sister to have fun too, watching her practice hard every day, and when she doesn't relax, she has been used to it since she was a child, and she doesn't know how sorry she feels, but their family members feel distressed.
Qu Qingzhen is also a favorite sister, he understands in his heart that the essence of this banquet held in the house today is to let his sister relax, don't be tense all day, at this time, as soon as he heard Qi Xiuyong's proposal, he swept Qu Qingge's interested eyes, and naturally agreed to it.
Qu Qingge is indeed interested in this game, but this is more of a nostalgia, she still remembers that in her previous life, she liked to play this game with her close friends, she had practiced martial arts, she was agile, and every time she could send out the flower balls that fell in her hands, naturally every time she watched others being punished, and she was happy to watch the excitement on the side.
It was the most relaxed and happiest time in her two lives, and it was only natural that she remembered it deeply.
"Then the male guest will invite the participants by me, and the female guest is in the inner courtyard, I can't wait to get in, so I bothered Brother Qu and Brother Ge to invite them. Qi Xiuyong said to Qu Qingzhi, with a graceful demeanor and a gentle and polite attitude.
"It's okay, let's set up the place to play in the garden lake pavilion, and when you invite someone, you will go first, and I'll go to the inner courtyard to invite the ladies who are interested in playing together. Qu Qingzhen nodded calmly, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard with Qu Qingge.
The two voices, one tall and one short, were gradually moving away, with the same outstanding demeanor and extraordinary bearing, and they were the leaders of a famous and noble son, which made Qi Xiuyong, who was standing in place, darken his eyes.
"It seems that the newly adopted godson of this Qu family has a high status in the Qu family, look at the appearance of the song being maintained everywhere, and you have to look at the eyes of others to play a game. Standing behind Qi Xiuyong, a stocky man with a slightly stronger face shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, pretending to be elegant, and said with a chuckle, and said with a chuckle, and he looked down on Qu Qingge very much in his words.
"Since you know that someone is precious, don't offend him easily, otherwise you will cause more trouble and ruin a big thing, and the boss will not spare you. Qi Xiuyong's face remained unchanged, but the words he said became extremely cold, implying a gloomy owl.
"Got it. The stocky boy shook his head and replied respectfully.
Qu Qingge followed behind the eldest brother, and when he was about to turn a corner, he slightly turned his head and looked back at the two people who were still standing in place, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his lips.
How sharp her ears were, how could she not hear the words of the two, I'm afraid her eldest brother also heard it.
The emperor is old, the princes are gradually growing up, the position of the prince has not yet been established, and the battle for the position of the central government is gradually surfacing, and the world will be chaotic.
As long as she doesn't harm her family, Qu Qingge doesn't bother to pay attention to the open and secret battles of those princes, in her opinion, whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't need to think about it more.
Now that she has really stepped into the path of cultivation, after reaching this level, she understands that the predicament in her previous life is actually just a trivial thing for her in this life, and it is not enough to worry about.
The Qu family has an immortal master, this is something that everyone in the Great Yang Dynasty knows, as long as the reigning emperor is not stupid, he will never dare to move the Qu family, because no matter how great their power is in the secular world, they are just a mortal, and they can't bear the anger of a cultivator, or the anger of a cultivator with a very high status in a big sect.
To put it mildly, even if there is a rule that a cultivator is not allowed to interfere with things in the secular world, but with Qu Qingge's current identity, as long as she finds a reasonable reason, even if the entire Dayang royal family is slaughtered, her sect can save her, at most, let her enter the sinful abyss for a few years, and she will definitely not die.
After a few years, after the limelight passed, she was released, and she was still the core disciple of the Lingyun Sect, with unlimited scenery, who would avenge the poor royal family?
Of course, although Qu Qingge is belligerent, she is not a person who loves to kill, and she will not be forced to that point, her principle is that she will never let her do such a thing, but if her family is hurt by anything, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not go crazy.
At that time, Qu Qingge, who has lost his mind, can really do anything!!
This is the difference between cultivators and ordinary people, the difference between the strong and the weak, the difference between heaven and earth, who can cross it?
Most of the female guests in the inner courtyard are admiring the flowers and chanting poems, and a few are painting and playing chess.
