Zhennan Wang led the crowd to Sulou with a red face, where today's reception banquet was held.
The servants and servants of the palace are all well-trained. After King Zhennan and the others took their seats, the maids in lake-colored dresses came over and started to serve the dishes quickly. In less than a cup of tea time, the delicious food and wine had already been served. There are three tables full.
Then, there was another melodious sound of the piano, which was cheerful but not noisy, making the listeners feel at ease.
Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner, Nanny Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a few words to a lady in Tsing Yi beside her, who nodded and bowed in response, and then hurried to Bixiao Tang replied to the concubine Shizi.
At this moment, Nangong Yue's room was very lively, Han Qixia and Xiao Fei had already returned from Zuixiao Tower, and were talking with Nangong Yue, while Xiao Ni went back to her yard to rest on the pretext of being tired.
"Sister-in-law, it's a pity that you didn't go to Zuixiao Tower with us today." Xiao Fei sighed regretfully to Nangong Yue, "It was very lively when the army entered the city, and the people lined up to welcome and cheer..." I must wait for eldest brother and An Yi When they return in triumph, it will be even more lively!
Nangong Yue listened to Xiao Fei's words with a smile. At this moment, Huamei entered the room quietly and whispered a few words in Nangong Yue's ear. Nod to show that I understand.
Then, Thrush went out and sent the old woman away.
Xiao Fei continued: "When Sister Xia and I came back, we went to Jade Brewery to buy some rose wine..."
Rose wine? Could it be for Ah He to drink? Nangong Yue glanced at Han Qixia intentionally or unintentionally, and Han Qixia said nonchalantly: "Grandfather likes the rose wine from Jade Brewing Workshop. Since I passed by, I want to bring some back to my grandfather. Yue'er, my grandfather said that we girls should drink this rose wine." It's also very good, so I bought an extra jar and gave it to you for evaluation."
Nangong Yue covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Sister Xia, then I will not be polite. Grandpa said yes, then it must be a good thing."
Han Qixia cleared her throat, avoiding Nangong Yue's teasing gaze, and said again: "Yue'er, when I was going out this morning, my grandfather asked me to pass a message to you, asking you to take time to go to Lin's house tomorrow." As she spoke, she Thinking of something again, "Grandfather also said, if Yue'er, you can contact my eldest brother and Imperial Physician Wu, let them go there together."
Nangong Yue naturally thought of the jar of Wuhe ointment that she ordered Baihui to send to Lin's house, and she nodded with a frown.
"Baihua..."
She let out a soft cry, and Baihui immediately understood what she meant, and after bowing her knees to accept the order, she quickly backed away.
Nangong Yue blinked at Han Qixia, then said with a smile: "Sister Xia, since you're here, why don't you just stay here and have lunch before leaving."
Xiao Fei also looked at Han Qixia, her earnest gaze seemed to say, Sister Xia, you can stay.
Han Qixia's little face turned crimson, but she still tried her best to respond calmly.
Huamei, Yinger and the others immediately ordered their servants to set up lunch. Because of today's welcome banquet, the palace's kitchen prepared a lot of dishes just in case, and in a short while, a delicious and tempting lunch was on the table...
From time to time, someone from the Xingsu Building came to report the latest developments at the banquet, such as several generals starting to punch wine and drink orders, for example, the stage had started to sing, for example, the banquet had already dispersed, and the prince was a little smoked from drinking. Went to Concubine Wei, for example, Fu Yunhe and others were dragged to the Tianfu by Tian Detao to continue drinking, or Baihui came back and said that she had sent a message to Han Huaijun...
When she heard that Fu Yunhe had left, Han Qixia couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. She originally thought... Forget it, the future will be long.
Meeting Nangong Yue's teasing eyes, Han Qixia tried her best to pull herself together, stood up and said, "Yue'er, I should go back."
Han Qixia had been out for a long time, and Nangong Yue didn't keep her. She wanted to send a carriage to take Han Qixia and the jar of rose wine back to Lin's house, but Han Qixia declined.
"Yue'er, don't bother, it's just a jar of wine, I'll just carry it back by myself." Han Qixia smiled nonchalantly, that bold look made Nangong Yue almost suspect for a moment that the person in front of her was the second sister-in-law of Liu Niang .
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't sister Xia be the third sister-in-law of the second sister-in-law in the future
What should I call myself
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, she smiled and told Que'er to send Han Qixia to the gate of the East Street.
At this time, around Shen time, the sun had just started to set, and the sun shone warmly on my body.
Han Qixia was still a little disappointed. After walking out of the gate of the East Street, she breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to the right, when she saw a familiar slender figure standing diagonally across the street, holding a white horse in one hand, facing her Put on a big smile.
Why is he here? !
Han Qixia was startled, as if infected by him, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up...
Until now, she had a real feeling that her cousin He was back!
The two of them didn't speak, they walked slowly in tacit understanding, the sun softly shone on the two of them, coating them with a layer of golden halo, at this moment, silence speaks louder than sound...
…
At dawn the next day, Nangong Yue took Baihui to the Lin House in the west of the city in a green-covered carriage.
When she arrived, the first sun had only fully risen from the east, but Han Huaijun arrived earlier than her. Han Huaijun, Han Qixia and Lin Jingchen were drinking tea around a stone table in the yard.
"Yue'er!" Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia blurted out in unison, beckoning Nangong Yue to come and sit down.
After the four of them greeted each other, they sat down again.
Nangong Yue raised her brows slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Young Master Han, did Imperial Physician Wu come today?"
Han Huaijun's eyes flashed, he put down the teacup in his hand, nodded, and then explained: "Last night, the side concubine of Gongjun Wang and Baiyue came to envoy Lie Birui to come to me and Wu Taiyi, saying that there will be a batch of Wuhe ointment today. Arrived, so Imperial Physician Wu stayed at the inn to prepare for the drug test."
After a pause, Lord Han Huai said again: "Prince Gong's side concubine also said that their people in Ruijiang City have already raised enough Xuanying fruits, and they will definitely be able to give enough for the fifth prince this month, so..." As he said that, he glanced at his younger sister Han Qixia with complicated eyes, and continued, "So, before the end of the month, we may leave for the capital."
Han Qixia was startled, unable to hide the reluctance in her expression.
She also knew that it had been a long time for Han Huai Jun to stay in Luoyue City for a month, but when she knew that the moment of parting was coming, she still couldn't help but be reluctant to part.
After Nangong Yue responded, she half closed her eyes.
As far as she knew, after the Wuhe ointment was robbed on the fourth day of the fourth day, Baiyi did not tell Han Huaijun. It was not until the sixth day, when the ten-day period expired, that he reluctantly delivered Wuhe ointment of less than a catty. , delayed for a while.
However, it has only been a few days, and Bai Yi did not use Xuanying fruit as an excuse, but instead gave such a clear time to donate the medicine... It seems that Kui Lang has already made up his mind about the conditions proposed last time.
However, Kui Lang is in the capital thousands of miles away, so these few days are not enough to send people back and forth to the capital to ask Kui Lang for instructions. But this matter concerns half of Baiyue, does Bai Yi dare to entrust the heavy responsibility to a carrier pigeon? or…
"Grandfather," Nangong Yue looked up at Lin Jingchen thoughtfully, and asked, "You asked me and Mr. Han to come over today, but that Wuhe ointment..." made progress
Lin Jingchen straightened his face, stroked his beard and said, "Yue'er, Mr. Han, come with me."
The four of them got up and went to the backyard.
Lin Jingchen led them to the pharmacy in the backyard. Lin Jingchen opened up the two rooms in the backyard and converted it into a pharmacy. There were all kinds of medicinal materials, pots and pans, stoves, stoves, etc. in the pharmacy. With the strong medicinal fragrance permeating it, Han Huaijun almost thought he had come to a kitchen.
"Squeak..."
The cry of the mouse attracted everyone's attention, and there were two iron cages on a stone countertop in front of them, and a huge squirrel was locked in each cage. The two mice were holding a piece of dry steamed bun with their front paws, eating with relish, and seemed to be in high spirits.
Nangong Yue immediately understood that Lin Jingchen should use these two mice to test the medicine.
Sure enough, Han Qixia glanced at a funnel beside her and said, "Grandfather, it's almost time."
Lin Jingchen nodded, then Han Qixia put on a pair of deerskin gloves and tried to open the cage on the left...
