After Ban Hua had a fight with Ban Heng, she dragged him to buy things with him on the grounds of exercising his body. As soon as the siblings walked to the door, they heard the noise outside, and they didn't know what was going on.
The two walked to the door and saw that the two servants were helping their father out of the carriage. The father looked drunk, obviously drinking.
"Sister, has mother gone out?" Ban Heng glanced behind the door. If his father was seen by his mother, he didn't know if his mother would be angry.
"No, mother just said she was going to take a nap." Ban Hua glanced at Ban Heng sympathetically, and was about to go to help Ban Huai with Ban Heng when another person walked out of the carriage.
"The county master, Shizi," Rong Xia straightened her clothes and apologized to her sister and brother, "I was just here to eat with Lord Hou, and I accidentally made him drink a few more glasses of wine, I'm really sorry."
"Uncle Lao brought my father back," Ban Hua felt that it was not Rong Xia's fault for this. She knew how bad her father's drinking was. The only thing she didn't expect was that her father could get together with Uncle Rong. It was like a cat playing with a swan, so it made people feel awkward, "My father is not good at drinking, if there is any offense. , Uncle, please don't take it to heart."
"The county master's words are serious, and the Hou Ye has no offense," Rong Xia said, seeing that Ban Huai had been helped into the sedan chair by the servant, "The Hou Ye has been delivered safely, and I will say goodbye."
"Uncle, why don't you stay and have some refreshments before leaving," Ban Heng came over and bowed to Rongxia, "Uncle, please."
"Why bother again..."
"Uncle Rong," Ban Huai, who was sitting in the sedan chair, stuck his head out of the sedan window and said drunkenly, "I've made a deal with you as a friend!"
"Cough," Ban Heng coughed dryly, "Uncle, you're welcome, please!"
Ban Hua silently covered her face, turned her head and signaled to the servants to carry her father into the inner courtyard as soon as possible, and leave the rest to her mother to worry about.
"Then Rong Mou dared to interrupt."
Rong Xia followed his sister and brother into the door. This was the first time he entered the gate of Ban's house. The inside of Ban's house was similar to what he imagined, with many differences. The mansion is luxurious and exquisite, with famous flowers and trees, carved beams and painted buildings. If you want to enter the second gate, you have to pass a nine-curved back bridge. Under the bridge is a clear lake. The golden koi waving their tails leisurely, looking fat and lazy. But the servants of the Ban family are more disciplined than he imagined, unlike some families who are closely related to the royal family.
I think this is Mrs. Hou's credit. It is said that the eldest princess liked Mrs. Jingting Hou very much, so she specially asked someone to marry her for her son. Fortunately, although Jingting Hou has accomplished nothing and spends his free time, he is very kind to his wife, even he has heard people say how smart and beautiful Mrs. Jingting was when she was young.
He glanced at the Ban family's siblings, but this pair of siblings might be more like Jingting Hou
The three of them took their seats at the viewing pavilion in the middle of the lake. Ban Heng was the most impatient to talk to the humanities, but after saying a few words to Rong Xia, he and Rong Xia became brothers and sisters. There is no other reason, just because this man's words are too appetizing. Although he is brilliant in writing, he doesn't hang a book bag in front of him. His temperament is also more appetizing than those famous literati. He finally understands why his father can sit with this man. Dine and drink together.
"I just wish I could get to know Brother Rong as soon as possible," Ban Heng held up the tea cup, "Come on, I will use tea instead of wine, and toast Brother Rong with a cup."
"Brother Ban, you're welcome." Rong Xia picked up the teacup, touched it with Ban Heng, raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.
"Refreshing, I'm the least patient of those who break the rules when others pay attention to drinking tea," Ban Heng said. "If you're thirsty, drink it big, and when you're not thirsty, drink it slowly. There are so many breaking rules."
"Brother Ban is a cool person, Rong is not as good." Rong Xia picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them. She turned to see Ban Hua holding her chin with one hand and did not speak, so she emptied the cold tea in her cup and continued. Serve warm tea, "Why doesn't the county master speak?"
"What?" Ban Hua blinked and waved, "I'm not interested in the topic of your men."
Rong Xia couldn't help laughing: "What is the princess interested in?"
"Jewelry, the more beautiful things I like, the more beautiful things I like," Ban Ma sighed with emotion on his face, "Life is too short, I feel distressed when I think that there are so many beautiful jewelry in the world that don't belong to me."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Ban Heng coughed several times. My sister, can you have some snacks? How bad is your reputation? Dare to say clearly that I like such tacky things as jewelry, can't we pretend to be more elegant
Ban Hua rolled his eyes at him, and a person who said the behavior of "cow chewing peony" was not qualified to dislike her.
Rong Xia pretended not to see the little eyes between the sister and brother, but smiled: "The princess is beautiful, indeed only the most beautiful jewelry in the world can match you."
Ban Hua's eyes suddenly turned into crescents, and in this world, only men with beautiful mouths and sweet mouths are likable.
"Uncle Rong, this dessert tastes good, you can try it." Ban Hua pushed a light green pastry in front of him to Rong Xia. This dim sum looks simple, but it is actually very labor-intensive to make. It will cost nearly a hundred taels of silver to make a plate of dim sum, but because she likes it, the house has to make it a few times a month. dessert.
"Thank you." Rong Xia took one of the silver chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The pastry tasted very light, with a faint tea scent and... the smell of spring grass everywhere. it is good.
"It's delicious," Rong Xia took a sip of tea and wiped the corner of her mouth, "The chefs in your house are really superb."
Ban Hua looked at the four pieces left on the plate, picked one piece away with chopsticks, and pushed the plate in front of Rong Xia again, "Eat more if you like."
Rong Xia saw the reluctance in Ban Hua's eyes, and then took the chopsticks and slowly ate all the three pieces of dim sum with great enjoyment.
Ban Hua's mood is very complicated. She is very happy that other people like the things she likes, but her limited supply of dim sum for a month, so people eat four pieces, and she feels a little pain in her heart.
She touched her chin, is this the "pain and happiness" described in the book
Rong Xia stayed in Jingting Hou's mansion for over an hour, and when he returned to his mansion, he still had a smile on his face.
"Uncle, did something good happen to you today?" His close waiter brought hot water and waited for him to wash his hands and wipe his face, "I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."
"Is it a good thing to grab a little girl's snack to eat." Rong Xia wiped her hands, took a book and lay down on the soft couch, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare less dinner."
"Yes." The little servant was suspicious, what happened to their uncle now, and even grabbed the little girl's snacks. If it spreads out, what should I do
The rules of the Daye Chaohui are the three-day small meeting and the five-day grand meeting. People like Jingtinghou who have a free job and are unwilling to go to dinner will only go to the meeting when they are in the big meeting. body, standing in the crowd to make up the number of people.
However, at today's court meeting, he was extraordinarily energetic. Not only did his hair comb without a trace, but his waist was straight.
He walked into the crowd, and after seeing Uncle Zhongping, he gave him a contemptuous look, and turned his head to stand with the other idle princes.
Uncle Zhongping was glanced at by the Duke of Jingting, but he couldn't look back, let alone hit him, and he felt extremely aggrieved. After a while, he saw Ban Huai and a few locusts in the court chatting and glancing at him from time to time. Uncle Zhongping was even more angry. These were not productive, and he was idle all day. What right does the locust have to speak ill of him
"Hey, I heard no. The concubine of Mr. Wang's family gave him a son. Oh, he is in his fifties, and he still pays no attention to his body, tsk tsk tsk."
"What is this, that Li Yushi, who always speaks righteously, went to a brothel two days ago, and was seen clearly by my servant."
"What is your servant doing in that fireworks place?"
"The wine in Baihuayuan is delicious, can't I ask the servant to buy me a few jars?"
"Shuiqing, I heard that you have bought a lot of good things recently. Madam Zun doesn't care about you?"
"My wife is the most gentle, when did she take care of me?"
The few idle princes were talking about some gossip, but in the eyes of Uncle Zhongping, they were talking and laughing for a while, and they were talking bad about him. He held the banwat in his hand tightly, worried that he would endure Can't stop rushing over to give Ban Huai a plan.
"Quiet!" An eunuch walked in and gave a high five, "My lords, Your Majesty is here."
The lobby suddenly became quiet, and the courtiers were ranked in order, and the idleness just now was no longer seen.
Halfway through the court meeting, Wang De, who was standing beside the emperor, said: "If you have something to play, you can retreat to the court if there is nothing."
Ban Huai stepped out with one foot, but someone else moved faster than him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to announce." The one who stood up was the Yushi Li who had been to the brothel a few days ago.
"The minister wants to participate in Zhong Pingbo's eldest son, Xie Chongjin, during his tenure in Pingzhou, who practiced favoritism and cheated his subordinates.
Ban Huai didn't really like seeing this Yushi Li at first, thinking that he had sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and a mean look. Now that he has participated in the Xie family, I feel that his pointed chin is wise, and his unsightly cheeks are also wise, and even the whole person is pleasing to the eye.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has also heard about this matter. As an official of the great cause, Wei Chen asks the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly."
This time, it was Yan Hui, the left minister, who stood up.
Although His Majesty trusts the Right Prime Minister Shi more, but even Yan Hui has stood up for this matter.
Ban Huai rubbed his hands, barely suppressing the excitement in his heart. This was really a good show, both lively and exciting.
The author has something to say: Ban Huai: Tear, tear it louder.
