Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled and smiled at her, saying that he had thought about asking Huan Yehe to inquire about something before, but since the last time they met in the middle of the night, the Jingshu County Lord had not asked her again. Sleeping crane.
Of course, it's possible that he was found, but in private, and Sheng Suihe kept it a secret.
We met today at this banquet that I really didn’t want to come to. Maybe it’s an opportunity
With this thought in mind, she turned around and whispered to Lu Jin beside her: "You will look at County Master Jingshu later and remind me when there are fewer people around her."
Lu Jin quickly agreed.
"There are so many of us here, but Sister Fourteen doesn't even see a single figure. This show is really extraordinary!" After Sheng Weiqiao told Lu Jin, she was following Meng Guihuan as she walked inside when she saw a few people being beaten. Meng Lijiang, who was sitting around the girls, glanced at them, raised her voice slightly and said, "You know, my fourteenth sister always likes to be quiet, and she is the most impatient of people disturbing her Manjuan Studio; I don't know. , I thought she was looking down on many of us!"
"Miss Fifteen is as sharp-tongued as ever!" Meng Lijiang was favored by Duke Zheng because of her coquettish aunt. Although she was the daughter of a concubine, she had been flattered since she was a child, even if she was not well-informed. Knowing that their mother and daughter were in a bad situation, and still accumulating power, they would say such words in public in Meng Bijun's boudoir, but no one dared to say a word for a while.
Sheng Weiqiao was having a headache. The birthday banquet hadn't officially started yet, and a storm was about to start, but he saw Huan Yehe turned his head and said with a smile, "I obviously want to go upstairs to tell Miss Fourteenth, we are all here." , please leave Miss Fourteen for a moment and come down to have a chat with us, but you want to say something that seems to blame Miss Fourteen! This is obviously because he is afraid that we will think that Miss Fourteen is being neglectful, so he deliberately speaks like this first, so that we can I'll turn around and persuade you to calm down, so you won't have to blame Miss Fourteenth!"
Without waiting for Meng Lijiang's answer, she turned to everyone and said, "But everyone has known each other for a long time. She can't deceive us no matter how much she pretends, don't you think?"
The hall looked at each other for a moment, and then a few laughs rang out.
But no one said anything, because although they saw Huan Ye's intention to reconcile, they were not sure whether Meng Lijiang would take the opportunity to step down. If Zheng Guogong, an old lady who has always been wary of his beloved, refuses to let go, they may get into trouble if they agree to Huan Yehe's offer.
Fortunately, Meng Guihuan, Meng Liyi, and Meng Liti are the daughters of the Meng family after all. They are worried that the atmosphere will be very bad now, and the lunch later will become even more unpalatable. They all said: "Bingxue, the head of Jingshu County, is smart and understands best." These two sisters of mine.”
"They are sisters living in the same room, isn't that great?"
"Fifteenth sister has always been sarcastic since she was a child. The more she cares about who she is, the more mean her words will be. I really agree with the saying that spanking is a kiss or a scolding, or love. We have known about her nature for a long time, but she has always refused to admit it. We have no choice but to pretend we don’t know. Now that County Master Jingshu has spoken out, we can’t open our eyes and tell lies!”
"That's right!"
Sheng Weiqiao listened to the three sisters of the Meng family singing and doing bad things. She held Meng Lijiang there and stopped making trouble. She felt very speechless. She said to herself that it was no wonder that she felt uncomfortable in Chang'an City. He has the ability to tell lies with his eyes open and still show off in public. I really am not that good at all!
Well, at least Sheng Weiqiao thinks so!
He couldn't help but look at Huan Yehe a few more times, and saw the county owner smiling with sincerity on his face, as if every word he spoke came from the heart... He couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration: compared to his innocent self, this person was simply born. He should be living in the palace of Chang'an!
Because Huan Yehe thought of Meng Bijun upstairs at this moment, and thought that in terms of appearance, Miss Meng Fourteen was very beautiful and majestic as the Lord of the Sixth Palace should be. The problem was that she wanted to be in the harem, especially in today's harem. Stand still, even with the support of Empress Dowager Meng and the Meng family, I'm afraid it would have to be Huan Yehe who is so versatile, right
Meng Bijun, who takes action whenever they disagree, doesn't know what will happen in the future
What she was thinking about here was that Huan Yehe was smiling and making witty remarks over there. He put the situation right in a few words and actually took Meng Lijiang's hand and went upstairs to invite Meng Bijun.
Sheng Weiqiao was worried whether Meng Bijun and Meng Lijiang would fight upstairs, or get into a ball in public after coming down, but he didn't expect that Huan Yehe had the real ability to dare to take over this matter. A moment later, he actually One of them came down safely, holding the enemy sisters on his arm.
And looking at the expressions of Meng Lijiang and Meng Bijun, although they are not smiling to welcome people, they are not so stormy that it makes people worry that they will pounce on each other at any time and fight to the death.
Under this situation, Sheng Weiqiao admired Huan Yehe and secretly sighed in relief, saying in his heart: "With this person here, it seems that no matter whether there will be any twists and turns in private today, at least the situation can be settled. "
As long as the scene goes well, Sheng Weiqiao doesn't care what kind of hysterical things will happen secretly in Zheng Guogong's mansion today!
It was not long before noon at this time, and everyone gathered around Meng Bijun to have a conversation, because the girl's attitude was very cold. Basically, she would not answer even ten words to her. Occasionally, she would only respond with a faint "hmm" , or a cold "Oh."
So even though the people who gathered around to talk to her were very enthusiastic at first and tried their best to find nice things to say, after all they were all unmarried young girls. No matter how thick-skinned they were, their ability to face such an iceberg was always limited in the public eye. People, including Yin Qin Wei Jiu, also showed their embarrassment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to cool down again, Huan Ye hurriedly said a few words and brought the topic to the luncheon.
"The banquet has already started in Guichun Garden. Why don't we go over and have a look? It's a very cold day. Although the earth dragon is burning here, I still feel uncomfortable just sitting like this." Meng Limin, the second room of the Meng family Hearing the words, he understood and said, "If they have everything done after we go, why not just have a banquet like this. Have some water and wine to warm up!"
This proposal was approved by everyone. Although according to the plan, the luncheon would not start until some time, but with Meng Bijun as the protagonist, I didn’t want to just sit and look at each other, or let her read upstairs while a group of guests were downstairs. If we want to chat on our own, we can only start the banquet in advance.
At least the banquet will not only include wine and food, but also singing and dancing performances. Even if Meng Bijun doesn't say a word, everyone can cover their faces with wine or enjoy the singing and dancing, so they won't be left speechless because of the protagonist's indifference and uncooperativeness. It's embarrassing to say the least.
Meng Guihuan also specifically used Sheng Weiwu as an example and said with a smile: "It's cold today and people tend to get hungry easily when sitting around. Miss Sheng Ba is young and she just had breakfast in the house, but it didn't take long after she arrived." She was hungry again. Fortunately, her sister, Miss Sheng San, told the maid here. The maid went to the kitchen to get pastries and put them on her bed. I also had a piece of pastry. Otherwise, if the twelve sisters didn’t tell me, I would have both. I asked if the banquet can be held in advance!"
"How can one piece of pastry be enough when I'm hungry?" Meng Lifei joked after hearing this, "This is obviously Sister Eleven. You are greedy. Seeing how sweet Miss Shengba's food is, you can't help but steal it. Eat pastries!”
Meng Liti also smiled and said to Sheng Weiwu: "Next time the maid brings you cakes, you have to be careful! Especially when our eleventh sister comes close, don't let her steal a few pieces accidentally!"
"Look at you people!" Meng Guihuan stomped her feet in disbelief and spat, "How could Miss Sheng Ba be as evil-minded as you? I took food in front of her, and Miss Ba was very generous. Do not care!"
"Look, I said you're not hungry, but because Miss Eight is eating well, you can't help but take it, right?" Meng Lifei shouted as if she had grasped the handle, and said with a smile, "No, if I follow you later, Sister Shiyi, if you sit down together, I have to watch the dishes in front of me and don’t ask you to take away all the delicious food!"
Meng Guihuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you say so, I will take away all your food later! You won't be able to eat anything!"
The three sisters bickered for a few words, but Meng Bijun's indifferent atmosphere only improved.
Others added a few words that were neither salty nor bland to lighten the atmosphere. It is estimated that the little maid who ran to Guichun Garden after hearing Meng Lifei's words should have brought the news there, and she would have received the news in advance. After the banquet was arranged, they greeted each other and stood up, straightening their skirts and hairpin rings, and looking at each other's hair and makeup to see if there was anything messy.
After clearing things up for a while, and humbly talking to each other about who would go in front, they gathered around Meng Bijun and moved forward.
When they arrived at Guichun Garden in such a grand manner, there were cups and plates in full display, and the maids and servants were lined up in front of the hall like wild geese wings. However, they were all ready and waiting for the master to bring his guests to the table.
This Guichun Garden has the word "Gui" in it. When I walked in, I didn't see many osmanthus trees. On the contrary, there were many flowers blooming in the greenhouse placed on the high and low tables in the room. They were colorful and fragrant. If it weren't for the heavy snow outside, it would look like spring has returned to the earth.
After the girls arrived here, they naturally had to give in to each other for the seats.
... As the owner and protagonist, Meng Bijun has nothing to argue with, so she takes the lead.
However, the seats to the left and right of Meng Bijun were decided after a lot of negotiation: Among the guests who came here today, the one with the highest status was of course Princess Deping. Normally, Princess Deping should be invited to sit in the seat of host and guest. .
However, this princess was rejected by the Gaomi Palace, and Concubine Mo seemed to be willing to let her fend for herself. Since she had no power and was the blood of Meng's number one political enemy, it was obviously impossible to give her the position of host and guest.
Next is Huan Yehe. Although she is not an eldest daughter like Princess Deping, she is also the title of county princess. She is also the direct granddaughter of the important minister Huan Guanlan. The most rare thing is that she is a good smoothie and one of the important guarantees that this birthday party can maintain the apparent peace and joy!
Relying on this, Meng Guihuan, Meng Liyi, Meng Liti and Meng Shuangxiao unanimously sat her down on the seat to Meng Bijun's left hand and refused to let her leave!
As for the seat to Meng Bijun's right, Meng Lijiang originally wanted to sit in the order in front of Queen Mother Meng, but she didn't care about the face of the Duke of Zheng. Meng Guihuan and other Meng family girls didn't want to be laughed at, let alone because she had to wait. They took advantage of being nearby to start a fight with Meng Bijun, causing them to be implicated.
Therefore, both parents are here, and although they are a head shorter than the eldest family due to Empress Dowager Meng's favoritism, they are not as completely vassal of the eldest family as the fourth bedroom of the Meng family. Lianhe pulled Meng Lijiang to a seat several seats away. The reason was: "We sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Sister Fifteen, please give us some face and sit with us today! Let's sit It’s closer to the high platform below, and it will be more intimate to watch the theater and listen to the music later!”
Then, because the sisters went to see Meng Lijiang, the seat was given to Meng Guihuan under the refusal of other guests.
The reason is also ready. Since the other guests are not willing to sit down, because they do not live in Zheng Guogong's mansion, they are actually considered guests today, and they are still the eldest among the Meng sisters present. If Meng Guihuan refuses to sit down, Meng Shuang cannot be allowed to sit down. Should Xiao, the niece, sit on top of the aunts
Although Meng Shuangxiao's daughter is honored by her father, her status is indeed better than that of several aunts who were born as concubines, and much better than Meng Guihuan, a legitimate aunt whose parents both died. However, in the scene, the order of seniority still needs to be taken into consideration. .
Now that Meng Bijun and Meng Lijiang had someone to accompany and supervise them, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other seats were easily arranged, and everyone found a place to sit down in an instant.
