Sheng Weiqiao specially took Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu to find a seat near the bottom. Looking at it, the distance between Meng Bijun and Meng Lijiang can be said to be thousands of miles. Although it is inconvenient to watch the performance on the stage, the people in front of them are The cups, plates, and utensils are obviously not as good as those above, but it doesn’t matter!
They didn't really come here to eat or feel the wealth of the Duke's mansion. They just wanted to come in peace and go back in peace!
In such a mood, with the sound of gongs and drums, the colorful dancers appeared on the stage, and the delicacies on the jade plate came in. This birthday banquet has officially begun!
After three rounds of drinking, the singing and singing were still the same, but everyone in the audience felt more or less relaxed, and they also relaxed a lot in their speech and behavior.
Although the place where Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were sitting was inconspicuous, when they were talking in twos and threes in front, back, left, and right, some people noticed them and stuck their heads to talk to them.
However, Sheng Weiqiao was very cautious. When he saw this, he quickly winked at Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu. The two of them understood and quickly took out the "" which they had practiced for several hours in Sheng's house. It was the first time they came out of a remote country to attend a banquet at the level of the Duke's Mansion. He is so nervous that he doesn’t know where to put his hands and feet." The embarrassed country bumpkin mode.
When people asked me anything, they would blush and bow their heads in fear... At first, a few girls kindly tried to comfort them, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this! They are all here to attend this birthday party, and they are all sitting in this corner. , we are not from a wealthy family. We are just sitting around talking, what are you afraid of?"
But when the three of them kept doing this, some of them became impatient and tried to persuade their companions: "Hey, what do you care about them? If they don't want to talk to us, forget it... Anyway, they have three of them, so they won't be alone. Didn't you see them eating and drinking happily before you talked to them? Now that you greeted them, their teeth and chopsticks stopped, and they didn't dare to take the silver spoon. Do you want to do evil or not? Don't disturb them, just go with it. Let them go!”
Although there was a lot of contempt in the man's eyes when he said this, Sheng Weiqiao didn't care. As long as he could get through this birthday banquet, which Sheng Sleeping Crane estimated to be a high-risk risk, safely and smoothly, all these were just clouds!
However, just when the wine was intoxicating, Sheng Weiqiao accidentally looked up and saw that Meng Lijiang seemed to have been persuaded to drink too much. Her face was red after drinking, she drunkenly raised her arm, tilted her head and talked to Meng Liyi. Although they were far apart and couldn't hear what they were saying, looking at their words, it seemed that the conversation was peaceful and it didn't look like something was going to happen.
Look at Meng Bijun at the top... Why is Meng Bijun missing
Sheng Weiqiao was startled, but then he thought that even Meng Bijun, the guest who had just arrived, refused to go downstairs to greet her. The three of them even followed Meng Guihuan upstairs to congratulate her and looked at her expression. , it is indeed impossible to attend the entire birthday party.
Even if this birthday party is held for her.
"However, if she leaves now, I don't know if she will fall into Aunt Jiaoyu's plot?" Sheng Weiqiao has no resentment towards Meng Bijun's cold attitude. After all, compared to other members of the Meng family, at least this girl has never found anyone. The trouble for him and others is that this girl is the same age as him, but she has to be promised the same life as she is in her fifties and still dotes on the Shu sisters, which makes Sheng Weiqiao somewhat sympathize with her.
Although I had made up my mind not to interfere with anything in the Duke of Zheng's palace at this meeting, with the safe entry and exit as the first goal, seeing that Meng Bijun had left the meeting, I felt a little worried in my heart, thinking to myself, "But Madam Wang Xiang is more powerful and protects her." !”
Of course, she just prayed like this, but she was not enthusiastic enough to leave the table and ask Meng Bijun to remind her.
When Ben came here, Sheng Weiqiao thought that nothing major would happen today.
After all, Meng Bijun has left here, and Meng Lijiang is in full view of the public... The fight between wives and concubines in Zheng Guogong's mansion, no matter who loses or wins, will be resolved in private, so as not to turn the city upside down and drag down all the guests. .
Thinking of this, she was somewhat relieved.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a maid in colorful clothes suddenly came up from behind, came to Sheng Weiqiao, bowed deeply, and said softly: "Miss Sheng San, my county master said that she is waiting for you outside, and she wants to say something to you alone!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked up and saw that this maid was Wangyou. Although she did not trust Huan Yehe, considering that the county owner was cooperating with Sheng Suihe and was involved in the Bishui County matter, You should not dare to plot against yourself.
At least he would never dare to joke with the safety of the three of them.
However, looking at the noisy scene in front of him, Sheng Weiqiao had some instinctive resistance to leaving the crowd to see Huan Yehe, so he hesitated and said, "Do we have to say it now? We can wait until the banquet is over and leave the Zheng Guogong's mansion to find a place to say it." Can?"
Hearing this, Wangyou lowered his voice and said, "Miss Sheng San, it's not that my county master deliberately disturbed your banquet, but the birthday banquet today is not peaceful. My county master is worried about you, so he took advantage of Meng Meng's birthday banquet. When Miss Fourteen left the table, on the pretext of changing her clothes, I asked my slave to ask you to go out and give me a few words!"
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao thought that Huan Yehe had some confidential information, or that the three of them might get into trouble if they stayed here. After thinking about it for a while, he finally dared not to go, so he said, "Let's go then!"
Before he could finish his words, Gongsun Yingjiang, who was listening carefully, immediately said: "Auntie, I'm going too!"
She was ordered by Sheng Sui He Er to mention her face. No matter where she went today, even if Sheng Weiqiao was changing clothes, she would have to guard her every step of the way!
Now of course I have to ask for a companion!
And if she went too, Sheng Weiqiao would of course not be able to leave the nine-year-old Sheng Weiwu alone, so he persuaded Gongsun Yingjiang a few words, and seeing that she insisted on following him, the three of them simply followed Wangyou away. .
Some of the guests nearby knew Wangyou. After they left, they said sourly: "Strange Road ignored us just now. It turns out that he has something to do with the Lord Jingshu County. No, it's actually the maid in front of the County Lord who came to invite us." ! It is estimated that I will not come back after leaving now. The county leader must be kind enough to open a new banquet for them above. The people I will get to know are all serious young ladies, not like us. The official position of father and brother is not considered low. It’s not even that high.”
"Ignore them, just ignore them. Fortunately, we didn't say anything to offend them just now." Some people were angry, but others were thankful, "Today's banquet... it would be nice if it was a peaceful one. It's a shame you have such a big heart. Don’t worry about those who have some and don’t have them!”
Sheng Weiqiao and the other three were unaware of the discussion of these two guests.
They took the maids with them and followed Wangyou out of the hall where the banquet was held. They passed the corridor they walked through when they came in, and after a twist and turn, they entered a small pavilion.
This small pavilion is very delicate. Because the snow was still falling, they walked through the veranda all the way. They did not enter through its main entrance and were blocked by the cornices of the verandah, so they could not see the name of this pavilion clearly.
After entering, I saw that earth dragons were burned inside, and several bonsais of plum blossoms were placed. The cold fragrance was soaked in the warm warmth, adding a touch of elegance to the originally gorgeous and luxurious furnishings in the room.
Huan Ye hugged a fat civet cat and sat sideways on a soft couch by the window in the small xuan. When he saw Sheng Weiqiao and the others coming in, he quickly put the civet cat on the couch and stood up to greet them.
She probably came out as an excuse to change her clothes. Now she has changed her outfit, and even her hair has been restyled. It was originally a dignified cross bun, but now it has been changed to a more casual bun with clouds, and her hairpin has also been changed. Several pieces.
"This is not the dressing place arranged for today. It was requested by me and the servants I know from Zheng Guogong's mansion. It was temporarily packed out for us to have a rest." After Huan Yehe and Sheng Weiqiao greeted them, he smiled and asked them to take a seat, and he took the initiative. , "I thought that although the dressing place is also exquisite and tidy, and much more spacious than here, but there are so many people coming and going, it's hard to calm down even if you just say a word, so it's better to come here to be clean."
Sheng Weiqiao praised: "This is why you, the county master, have such dignity. If it were us, even if we think so, we would not have such dignity."
Huan Yehe smiled slightly: "That's it for now. It's hard to say in the future. Maybe I won't be able to compare with you at all in the future?"
"I don't understand what the County Lord said?" Sheng Weiqiao felt a slight movement in her heart when she heard this, and looked at her, "Just now Wangyou said, does the County Lord have anything to tell us about today's birthday party?"
"Oh, that's a lie to you." Huan Yehe said nonchalantly, "Actually, before I came here, Mr. Shanda privately sent someone to entrust me to take care of you... But I see that you are all very smart, and you have always stayed away from Meng. My family, we were huddled in that corner at the table just now, and we have nothing to take care of. But I wanted to talk to you again, and I was afraid that you wouldn’t agree, so I asked Wangyou to make an excuse."
Sheng Weiqiao was unhappy after hearing this: "County Lord!"
"Miss Sheng San, don't be angry!" Huan Yehe said with a smile, "After all... I can see that the doubts and confusions in Miss Sheng San's heart are not inferior to mine! In this case, why don't we cooperate and be honest with each other? , each trying to solve the other’s doubts?”
"Originally, that was my plan!" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, but did not smile. He stared at her for a while, his face gradually turned cold, and he shook his head and refused, "But I didn't expect that the county master would be so smart, elegant and brilliant in front of others. In private, you tell lies without blinking an eye! With your character, I can’t trust you! After all, I don’t have the ability to tell lies the same as the truth. This is what the county leader calls openness and honesty, and everyone can explain to the other party. I am confused, could it be that I tried my best to answer the questions for the county master, but in the end the county master made up a bunch of answers to deal with me?! Although I am stupid, I am not stupid enough to take the initiative to be fooled even though I know I will suffer a loss!"
Huan Yehe didn't expect that she would say this, so he felt a little embarrassed on his face. Fortunately, this rich man was not as shameless as an ordinary girl. He straightened his face, coughed dryly, and said: " Just kidding! Actually, I do have news to tell you about this birthday party!"
