"Rong Xia?" Ban Hua had heard of the name of this Uncle Rong, the unparalleled son of the capital, Rong Xia, who was both excellent in calligraphy and painting, better in appearance than Pan An, and a man who would be chased by women when he went out.
"Why, don't you look down on it?" Princess Anle looked at her with a half-smile.
"The elegant gentleman is unparalleled in the world, and even a talented woman like Shi Feixian has personally praised a man, it is no longer a problem for me to look down on it," Ban Hua thought very openly, "such a person is probably born to like She's like a fairy and a concubine, so I won't join in the fun."
In her memory, she has not seen Rongxia many times, but every time she sees this person, she feels that the other person is not a human being. It's the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains and the bright moon in the night sky, so the two of them don't meet at all.
Seeing that Ban Hua didn't seem to have any affection for Cheng Anbo, Princess Anle was relieved: "Fortunately, you are not like some women, and I am relieved for the sake of Rongxia."
How can Ban Hua be in the mood to think about such things as men at this time, as long as she thinks that she will no longer be a village king in five years, she will feel that the whole world is desolate.
The crab feast was used at noon. Ban Hua sat on the right side of Princess An Le, and on the left of Princess An Le was the Princess Kang Ning, the daughter of the younger brother of the current Sheng Shang. The relationship between Ban Hua and her was only reluctant, and the relationship in normal time was not. hot. Ban Hua knew that she had a cold personality, and she didn't like to lean beside her, so she only lowered her head and picked fat crabs to eat.
"Ban Xiangjun seems to have lost a bit of weight recently, but you should pay attention to your body," a daughter-in-law looked at Ban Hua with a yin and yang tone.
"It's better to wear clothes when you're thin. I never hold back my anger. Usually, it happens on the spot." Ban Hua put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the talking daughter, "Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Hua, she is Master Li's daughter Li Xiaoru, and she often gets together with us," County Master Kang Ning smiled and explained softly, "How come you haven't seen it before?"
Ban Hua raised her eyebrows and said lazily, "I never noticed it." She wanted to make fun of her being divorced by Shen Yu, but Ban Hua never gave face to such people, "Maybe it's because Miss Li is overdressed. So clean, I have always liked to be lively, and people who are not very conspicuous can't remember it."
"You..." Li Xiaoru's eyes were red, and the tears in her eyes seemed to fall, like a small flower bone that was devastated by the wind, very pitifully shrinking, waiting for the protection of others.
"Mr. Ban Xiang," Shi Feixian frowned slightly, then looked at Ban Hua with a smile, "Why are you doing this?"
The table was silent.
Ban Hua lowered his head and knocked on a crab claws, turned his head to Princess Anle and said, "This crab is good, and the meat is fresh and tender."
Princess Anle knew that she was deliberately ignoring Shi Feixian, and smiled helplessly: "If you like it, you can bring a basket back later."
The whole table knew that Ban Hua deliberately pretended not to hear Shi Feixian's words, and his disgust for Ban Hua was even greater in his heart. Isn't it because of having a grandmother who is the eldest princess that she can show off her power like this? Shi Feixian was the granddaughter of the right minister, and she was much more powerful than her father, who had a title but no real power.
In front of so many people, not giving Shi Feixian face is like putting the face of the Right Prime Minister on the ground and stepping on the ground. Is Ban Hua crazy
They don't know if Ban Hua is crazy or not, but now no one dares to provoke her, who knows how she will react? A person with a normal mind has a track record of doing things. Such a mindless style of behavior depends entirely on emotions. It is humiliating to quarrel with her, and it feels aggrieved not to quarrel with her, so it is best not to provoke her.
Both Xie Wanyu and Shi Feixian had been embarrassed by her, so why did they have to beg for this boring
I don't know if it's their illusion. Although Ban Hua was a bit casual in the past, it's not as shameless as it is today. What's going on today? Could it be that Shen Yu's divorce has stimulated her and made her break the jar
Many people present thought so, some soft-hearted began to sympathize with her, and some began to gloat secretly.
With the lessons learned from Shi Feixian and Xie Wanyu, no one went to provoke Ban Hua afterward, and no one said a few words to Ban Hua until the Chrysanthemum Banquet was over.
"It's okay if you don't change your temper," Princess Anle couldn't help sighing when she sent Ban Hua away, "I'm even more angry now, if it goes on like this, how can I bring disaster to you?"
"One day after a good day, I just want to be drunk today," Ban Hua said indifferently, "They don't like me at all, even if I talk to them in a good voice now, when I'm down, They still can't wait to see my jokes, why should I give them a good face."
"What's not down and out, what are you thinking about?" Princess Anle laughed, "Be careful when my aunt hears this and cleans you up."
Ban Hua smiled and said nothing more. After saying goodbye to Princess Anle, she got into the sedan chair.
In a famous antique shop in the capital, Ban Huai looked at the jade pendant held by the shopkeeper and shook his head: "This is not good, is there anything else?"
"Master Hou, how dare I lie to you, this is already the best thing in the store," the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Why don't you look at other things?"
"Don't look," Ban Huai turned his head, "I will come to see you when you have something good here."
"Okay, Lord Hou, walk slowly." The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Although this Jingting Hou is a little picky, he is generous and can't find anyone he likes, nor will he take his anger out. He is a good customer to serve. . So even though people outside said this was a scoundrel, they, who were businessmen, really liked this Marquis of Jingting.
"Master Hou, there seems to be an accident ahead." The long and small Zhu'er beside Ban Huai approached the sedan chair that Ban Huai was riding, and whispered, "The road will not work."
"What's the matter?" Ban Huai opened the sedan curtain and heard cries coming from the front. Many people gathered in front of them, making noise and making noise, not knowing what happened.
"Go and ask, what happened." Ban Huai was in a hurry to go back to the house. He was crying and making trouble, and he was too lazy to take a detour, so he had to ask the next person to ask.
After a while, Xiao Zhu'er ran back: "Master Hou, I found out that there is an old couple who came to the city to sell mountain goods. How could they know that they met a liar and gave them fake copper coins. fainted."
In the past, Ban Huai would not have cared about such trivial matters, but today the money in his pocket has not been spent, so it is rare for him to take a little bit of leisure and take out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, "Give this money to them. ."
Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"Okay." Xiao Zhu'er took the silver, trotted all the way to squeeze into the crowd, and put the broken silver into the hands of the crying old lady: "Old lady, take this silver and ask a doctor to show it to the old man. "
"How did this happen?!" The old lady looked at the piece of silver in her hand, her face changed with fright, and when she saw that the person who gave him the money was wearing a fine cotton robe, she didn't dare to ask for it, "My lord is kind to the old woman. The heart has taken it, but the old woman is ashamed to bear so much money."
"Take it at ease, this is given to you by our Marquis." Xiao Zhu'er sighed when she saw the old man lying on the ground with a sallow complexion. After putting the broken silver into the old lady's hand, she turned around and walked back.
"Good man!" The old lady, holding the broken silver in tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times in the direction of Banhuai's sedan chair.
A young and strong person saw her and called a doctor to help her. The old man woke up after a while. The old lady was so happy that she cried and laughed, and finally remembered to ask the people watching the lively around who was the adult who helped her just now.
"I know that person. His aunt and our family are distant relatives," a middle-aged man in clean clothes said slowly under the admiration of everyone, "I heard that his family are all working in Hou's mansion, and they are dressed in upper The cotton clothes are good, and there is meat to eat every day, and many of the servants of the Hou residence are under his control."
"It turned out to be a man from the Marquis Mansion," the people next to him suddenly realized, but the most important thing in the capital is the Marquis, so someone asked, "Do you know which Marquis Mansion he is?"
"Then the origin is big. Do you know the eldest princess? This marquis is the son of the eldest princess, Jingtinghou, who just gave this old lady the silver. It must be Jingtinghou."
The son of the eldest princess, that is His Majesty's cousin, he must be a very powerful person.
"This Lord Hou is really a kind person."
In the end, ordinary people who didn't know anything about the capital's aristocratic circle came to this conclusion.
Not far away, the man sitting in the sedan quietly watched this scene, and when the crowd began to disperse, he lowered the sedan curtain: "Go home."
"Uncle, are you not going to Uncle Zhongping's mansion?"
"Don't go," the man's calm and serious voice came out of the sedan chair, "I'll go tomorrow."
"Yes."
The sedan chair turned around and walked back. It didn't go very far. A red satin and fragrant sedan chair was approaching this way. At first glance, it was a sedan chair that was exclusively used by noble ladies.
The man lifted the curtain of the sedan window and saw that the sedan curtain on the opposite side was embroidered with intricate peonies, or decorated with jewels and jade, which was very luxurious. His eyes swept across the ruby embedded on the top of the sedan chair, and slowly lowered the curtain.
Fortunately, the road is wide, and there is no need to let anyone else, this red satin fragrant sedan will pass by this blue-topped sedan, and after walking far, you can still hear the jingle bells from the sedan.
Although Ban Huai took a detour before returning to the house, he thought that he had done a good thing today, and he suddenly felt that the jade pendant hanging on his waist became brighter, and even brought his son to him to ask for money. At that time, I couldn't help giving him an extra one hundred taels.
"Father, when someone else makes a shot, it costs thousands of taels to tens of thousands of taels, and our dandy can't lose to others," Ban Heng shook the one hundred tael silver note in his hand, "This makes our Houfu's face look bad. Where to put it?"
"When did our family have shame, anyway, we are shameless," Ban Huai raised his chest, "don't go out and go back to the room to read."
Ban Heng: …
