Spring Banquet

Chapter 25: The Marriage of Lord Ziyang

Naturally, Lu Jingxing thought about it, closed his fan and tapped on his palm, wanting to respond.

However, before the word "good" was uttered, the surrounding crowd started to commotion.

"Hey, here we come!"

"You really deserve to be a descendant of the Jiang family. Look at his demeanor, it's just different from ordinary people."

There were voices of praise everywhere, and everyone looked at the square stone road leading to the front hall.

At the end of the road, Jiang Yan came striding forward. The red embroidered gold collar, the soap-colored cloud boots, and the red jade-encrusted belt fasten the snow-white brocade robe so well that this young master has a good figure. Even if his black hair is tied casually behind his back, he still has an extraordinary bearing. The dragon and the phoenix.

"The Feng Shui of Jiang's family is really good, and all the children raised are in good spirits." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

Li Huaiyu nodded in agreement: "This is the truth."

Jiang Yan was considered to be the most promising grandson of the Jiang family, and he was also close to Jiang Xuanjin. Those outside who liked to praise the Jiang family often praised the uncle and nephew together. What "Jiangfu Shuangyu, Yanxi Yanxi, my dream is looking forward to it, I can't be jealous in the end", is so numb that I can get goose bumps all over my body.

However, the sensuality belongs to the sensuality, which actually hit the minds of many daughters in Kyoto. No, Jiang Yan walked towards Jiang Xuanjin step by step, and the cheeks of the ladies who came to the banquet were flushed, especially Bai Xuanji, who was standing at the front of the entrance of the lobby, her eyes were shining, and she was extremely happy up.

She had already greeted the elders of the Jiang family just now, and now she and Bai Dezhong are standing beside the Jiang family, as if they were half the hosts.

Seeing Jiang Yan approaching, Bai Xuanji stood more dignified and looked away, but she still glanced at him from the corner of her eye, hoping that he could look at her.

However, Jiang Yan came here to perform the hairdressing ceremony, and his eyes were fixed on his uncle, so he didn't look away.

"The time is just right." Jiang Chong reached out and handed a jade crown and a brocade headband to Jiang Xuanjin's hand, "After the ceremony is over, I will invite my father to have a banquet."

Jiang Xuanjin nodded, took the things and walked to Jiang Yan.

The hair-tying ceremony is a custom for men in the Northern Wei Dynasty when they are 18 years old. The uncle with the highest status in the family will tie up their hair, which means that they are no longer a child with long hair and can be alone.

Of the generation of uncles in the Jiang family, Jiang Xuanjin is naturally the one with the highest status. Li Huaiyu stretched his head and watched him tie Jiang Yan's hair in a bun and put on a jade crown, and suddenly remembered his own ceremony.

When the first emperor died, she was only twelve years old, and when she was fifteen, the only uncle in the royal family died at her hands. So Jiang Xuanjin came to perform the ceremony for her.

At that time, Jiang Xuanjin was very serious. He was clearly young, but his face was as straight as an old man's face. He pinched the jade hairpin to tie her hair, and his strength was inappropriate, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

But looking at it now, he seems to know how to tie his hair, and the strength in his hands is gentle and steady.

Cursing her lips, Li Huaiyu rolled her eyes, thinking that it's right that this person just doesn't want to see her.

The hair tie ceremony was soon over, and Mr. Jiang came out to hold a banquet, and the guests took their seats one after another.

Bai Dezhong led Bai Xuanji to the first three seats.

"This is Miss Bai?" Old Master Jiang looked at Bai Xuanji and smiled kindly, "You've grown into a big girl."

Bai Xuanji saluted politely: "I've met Master Jiang."

"Okay, go and sit down." Old Man Jiang said, "After lunch, I will ask Yan'er to accompany you to the garden."

Overjoyed, Bai Xuanji quickly responded: "Yes."

It's done, Mrs. Jiang nodded, her marriage must be done. Bai Xuanji lowered her head and suppressed a smile reservedly, but the hand holding the handkerchief couldn't help trembling.

The marriage she had been looking forward to for so many years finally fell on her head!

Jiang Xuanjin quietly picked up the dishes, and didn't care much about this conversation. However, while putting down his chopsticks, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of Miss Bai Si.

Li Huaiyu followed Lu Jingxing and sat on the mat in the middle of the courtyard. Since she hadn't eaten anything good in the White Mansion, she couldn't help herself when she saw the delicacies on the table. The chopsticks were as nimble as hands, and they quickly moved between the dishes. Shuttle between.

Lu Jingxing helplessly spread out his jade fan to shield her face, and said dumbfoundedly: "You didn't like meat so much before."

"If you eat porridge and cabbage for a few days, you will love meat as much as I do." Huaiyu snorted, "The concubine daughter of Baifu is not a human being!"

Looking at her sympathetically, Lu Jingxing stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some meat for her.

Looking away, Jiang Xuanjin thought indifferently, the relationship between these two people is really unusual, as if they have known each other for many years. If the marriage between Bai Zhuji and Jiang Yan really ended, she might marry into the Lu Mansion as soon as she turned around.

It's really not my fault.

Jiang Shen, the second son of Jiang, who was next to him, was happily eating food, and suddenly felt that his side was getting cold.

"Third brother?" He asked inexplicably, "Why are you unhappy again?"

Jiang Xuanjin picked up the chopsticks and continued to pick up food: "No."

With a calm expression and normal eyes, why does he look unhappy

Jiang Shen looked at him seriously, and said: "You have become weird since you finished the funeral of the eldest princess. I must not be the only one who thinks so. What do you think, big brother?"

Jiang Chong was named, and he also took a look at Jiang Xuanjin, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Look, tell me the truth." Jiang Shen put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Is it because Yan'er is about to get married, and there is no one around you, so you are in a hurry?"

With a dark face, Jiang Xuanjin said in a deep voice: "I don't plan to marry a wife."

"Nonsense!" Old Mr. Jiang rolled his eyes, "Before you said that the big thing was not done, and you had no intention of starting a family. Now that everything that should be done is done, you really want to snuff out one of the three incense sticks that I have been raising so hard Son?"

Jiang Xuanjin was silent.

The old man Jiang said slightly annoyed: "You have never worried me about anything since you were a child, so you can't be perfect, and don't worry about your marriage?"

"Father, calm down." Jiang Chong said, "To be honest, there are very few women in the capital who are worthy of the third brother. He hasn't met a suitable one, and we can't force him to pull one."

"It's better to pull hard than to cut off the incense!"

Seeing that the old man was angry, Jiang Shen quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, my son went to the temple a few days ago to give the third brother a fortune-telling. They said that his red luan star is moving, and good things will come soon."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang was slightly delighted: "Really?"

"It's more real than real gold." Jiang Shen said with a smile, "Don't worry, the third brother has always had his own opinions, so let him decide on his own marriage."

If he was in another family, he would definitely have to listen to his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, but Jiang Xuanjin has been terribly well-behaved since he was a child, and he can do everything very well.

Mr. Jiang didn't want to be harsh on such a child, and he even thought aggrievedly that as long as he was willing to marry, even if he married a beggar from the street, he would make a big deal of it!
