Chapter 30: The Banquet

Chapter 30 Banquet

The seven days passed quickly.

It was raining lightly yesterday, but today it is excellent weather.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, with only a few wisps of gauze-like white in the distance. The air is filled with the freshness of the trees after the rain.

In the yard, the caretaker nun was carrying flower pots from the porch to the yard. She almost ran into a hurried little eunuch. One of them was protecting the flower pots, and the other was protecting the food box. After a few

Xicai glared at each other and separated.

"Master, breakfast is here~" the little eunuch put on a festive smile as soon as he entered the room.

His name is Liu Shunan, and he is the godson adopted by Liu Fudou. He is not a bully who runs errands, but someone who truly keeps him by his side and prepares him to teach him well and work for him in the future to support him in his old age.

"Put it on!" Yu Xian responded while casually passing the last step towards Tang Xi behind him.

Cuixi, who changed her name to Tangxi, took over the job of the second-class hair-combing girl. She was not as persistent in her job as her predecessor. She did whatever she told her, and now she only used the hairdresser she had just picked out.

A pair of ruby ​​​​pure gold steps and a peony hairpin were used to complete the hair style. Coupled with silver-red and navy blue flowers and a bustier skirt, I nodded with satisfaction through the mirror. What a beautiful flower of wealth in the world!

The banquet was held in the afternoon, and it was just the right time to get up and wash up, wash up, and eat after the meal.

Only then did Yu Xian put down his chopsticks and wash his hands, and Jiule strode into the room: "Master, Manager Wei sent a message to say that all the guests are here."

"Then let's go!" The place where the banquet was held was not far from her place. It was in the boat on the lake in the southwest. She only had to walk through the peach forest to the back door of Qisui's yard and then walk straight west along the stone road.

arrive.

The original owner was very wealthy and built a two-story boat directly on the lakeside, half grounded and half in the water, and planted a large number of lotus flowers in the lake.

Now is the time for lotus appreciation, and it is rare that the lotus flowers in the lake have not been taken care of for more than half a year, but they are still blooming beautifully, so we decided to hold the banquet there.

It just so happens that the first floor of the boat can accommodate male guests and the second floor can accommodate female guests. There is also a water pavilion not far to the south. The theater troupe can be invited to have a lively entertainment on the water pavilion.

"The Yuan family is actually here too! I heard that Prince An's Mansion never sent a message to the General's Mansion!" The girl who spoke had a clear and soft voice, but it was full of disgust.

"They have taken advantage of the people's support and rushed to the door. How can Prince An's Mansion keep them out? Then I'm afraid there will be another civil uprising in Cangzhou!" The woman who spoke spoke in a clear and cold tone, but with a lot of anger.

Satire.

"It's really unlucky. Why are the Yuan family indispensable everywhere! They said it's a lotus appreciation feast. What can they do here? Why don't they go into the water to pick lotus pods to eat?" This person's voice was soft and waxy, but full of malice.

.

"Hahaha~ It has to be Zhou Qi's mouth. I couldn't be more relieved!" The girl's voice was extremely high and her laughter was even higher.

"I'm just telling the truth. Can any of the Yuan family members write poetry or paint? They know that they need food every day, and they are so energetic that they can eat more! How can they understand the elegance of these things?

Yeah~"

"Fengya? I can't control Fengya now. If I had known that the Yuan family would come, I would never have come. I'm afraid of the Yuan family. My second brother can't get out of bed now!" Hearing this movement

He was still young and his voice was weak, but full of resentment.

"Good sister, when you get to the boat soon, you can't show everything on your face like this. Yin Er is too straight-tempered and dissatisfied. We know how to make trouble in front of the Yuan family.

It's good for him, he has a reputation for being generous, but Yin Er has suffered a lot from his family, and now his reputation has been ruined!" The woman who spoke out the advice had a gentle tone, and she seemed to be a little older.

"I know Sister Qu San is doing it for my own good, but when I think of my second brother, I can't help it! He is obviously talented and charming, and he will definitely be one of the top three in the rankings next year. But now! Mancangzhou

They say that my second brother is jealous of talents and talents! Jealous of talents and talents? He

What is there about Yuan Baihua that makes my second brother jealous? Yes, his family sacrificed their sons to defend the border! But my grandfather, father and uncle never worked hard for Cangzhou and the people of Zhongzhou?" A childish voice sounded.

With sharp resentment and grievance.

"The Yuan family has always been like this. They can see themselves but not others. The Yuan family is never the only one guarding the border. The Zhenbei General's Mansion in the north and the Zou family of the Qinghai Navy in the south have lost 70% of the border.

But which family is like his? It seems that no one in the world is right.

Just like his family, Cangzhou Dingguan only knows the Yuan family, and I am afraid that I have forgotten the name of the country! I feel that it is better for Cangzhou to become the fiefdom of King An, so that those people can know that since

Whose bowl are you holding and whose rice are you eating?"

I Xian followed the sound of conversation and came close, but did not go any further. Not far away, in front of the Taolin stone table, six women were sitting around. They looked at the maids who should be very close to them. After all, they were following.

The children were all sent away far away.

Yu Xian listened for a while, took note of which one was which, and then left with Jiule.

"Master?" Jiule endured the whole journey, and when he was about to leave the peach forest, he said, "Is the Yuan family right or wrong?"

Yu Xian was stunned for a moment when asked, and then spoke after a long while: "There are many people and many things in this world that are difficult to explain simply by right or wrong."

From the perspective of the Yuan family, 70% of their descendants were lost on the battlefield, but the military achievements they received made the emperor fear them and even wanted to get rid of them! Should he be aggrieved? Should he be angry?

Should!

From the perspective of the emperor of Zhongzhou, when Cangzhou Dingguan was established, he only knew the Yuan family but not the royal family. The Yuan family even deliberately incited public opinion to exclude people. Should he be angry? Should he take precautions?

Should!

"That···"

"But you have to have a bottom line when doing things for others. Survive? But, you can't ignore right from wrong and eliminate dissidents by any means! Centralize power? Yes, but you can't treat the 100,000 lives of the Pingxi Army as nothing!"

"Then they are both right, and neither of them is right?" Jiule felt that he was confused.

Yu Xian smiled and quickened his pace.

She wants to meet the Yuan family.

The play has begun.

It was very lively when I got free time.

"I've met the princess."

It was so dark that I knelt down and saluted, and I couldn't tell which one was which for a while.

"Here we come." Qi Sui stepped forward and took Yu Xian's hand.

Only then did Yu Xian realize that the men and women were not having separate banquets in the boat, but the whole family was gathering together.

That's okay! Although Zhongzhou has more restrictions on women, the border customs are open, and it's common for women to set up stalls and shops, ride horses on the street, and drink tea in theaters!

It seems that this is because of the Western Desert. The former Western Princess and now the Western Queen Mother have a female army. It seems that there are only a thousand people but they are very good at riding and shooting. It is very difficult to deal with. Many people in the border areas feel that their daughters are not inferior to the Western Desert, so they

In addition to being a female housekeeper, I also had to find someone to teach me riding and shooting since I was a child.

Knowing this in his heart, Yu Xian smiled and put his hand into Qi Sui's palm and told everyone to stand up.
