1365th: The Tea Party of the Ladies (8)
The genius remembered the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Jiang Pengji held a New Year's banquet as usual, and invited all the ministers to celebrate the New Year together.
Huang Song attended as a special guest. Although he was not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Jiang Pengji, his seat was second only to Jiang Pengji.
"Can't sit still?"
Huang Song did not bring his two sons with him to the New Year's banquet, but his daughter instead.
When the daughter saw a few friends of the same age, she couldn't sit still immediately, but she didn't dare to leave the table without her father's permission.
Mrs. Qi wondered, "At this occasion...something happened accidentally..."
Usually it's nothing to fight and fight, but now it's Jiang Pengji's New Year's banquet, if the child accidentally touches bad luck, it's not good.
Huang Song was about to speak when Jiang Pengji said, "Is that Bo Gao's daughter?"
"It's the little girl."
"Let her come forward, let me see." Jiang Pengji smiled slightly, "Yuxue is really cute."
Huang Song caressed his daughter's back, pushed her lightly, and encouraged her to find Jiang Pengji.
The little girl was a little shy, looked left and right with her chubby face, and finally walked towards Jiang Pengji timidly.
After approaching, she bowed awkwardly.
"I wish Lord Lanting a happy new year."
The baby voice with a baby voice not only made Jiang Pengji cute, but even the 850,000 salted fish in the live broadcast room were KO'd.
"Happy New Year." Jiang Pengji stretched out her hand and hugged her onto her lap, shaking her, and asked, "You and your father?"
The little girl nodded and said, "Well, father is over there."
Jiang Pengji smiled and grabbed a kit containing a New Year's red seal and hung it on the little girl's waistband.
"Just now I see that you can't sit still, you want to play with your brothers and sisters?"
The little girl bit her lips in embarrassment, as if she was thinking about how to answer, but finally obeyed her heart and nodded heavily.
"Then let's go, come back when you're hungry."
Jiang Pengji smiled softly, and told Changsheng's older children to play with the little girl.
Seeing this, Huang Song was completely relieved.
The program of the New Year's banquet is refurbished every year, and the food dishes are becoming more and more abundant. Even an old gourmet like Yang Si can't go wrong.
If people pay attention, they will find that this year's Yang Si is finally no longer alone!
Jiang Nongqin at the side was wearing a brightly colored new dress, even with a cold face, he looked softer than usual.
While eating, Yang Si noticed that Jiang Nongqin's gaze was on his side.
"What's wrong?"
With a cold face, Jiang Nongqin stared at a certain dish that had not been touched, and raised her chin slightly.
Seeing this, Yang Si immediately brought the dish to her side.
Because it is a meal sharing system, although there are many dishes on everyone's food table, the amount of each plate is not large, and she has already eaten her portion.
"You seem to be very addicted to spicy food these days?" Yang Sishun asked, "I remember you didn't like it very much before."
Jiang Nongqin said, "I like it in the past few days."
Yang Sidao, "You still like to eat it. I'll ask the maid to serve another plate, but it tastes sour and spicy. If you eat too much, it will affect your sense of taste."
He is a fastidious person, and he always has to take a sip of clear soup to dissipate the taste in his mouth when he touches food with a strong taste.
Otherwise, the taste of the previous dish will overwhelm the taste of the next dish, and it will not be enjoyable to eat.
Jiang Nongqin nodded.
Jiang Pengji noticed the movement on their side, clicked her tongue lightly, and sent someone to deliver a stack of things to Yang Si.
"Thank you, my lord, for the food."
Yang Si smiled, and after opening it, the smile on his face slowly froze.
Red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds.
The food plate contained these four things, not the delicacies in Yang Si's imagination.
Why did the lord give him this?
Yang Si looked up at the lord, and the lord gave him a supercilious look.
He is not a dull person either, he came back to it as soon as he thought about it, and almost overturned the food case in excitement.
At this New Year's banquet, some people happily want to go around in circles, while others are anxious and frightened.
Whether you are valued by the lord or not, you will know if there is a New Year's party invitation.
People who have no one will work harder and work harder in the coming year.
Those who receive the invitation are naturally proud and look forward to their official career in the coming year.
The most embarrassing thing was that the invitation was taken back after receiving it, which was not a big loss of face.
They secretly inquired and found that more than one family faced such a predicament.
only--
What exactly did they do wrong?
Why did you suddenly withdraw the New Year's banquet invitation?
This is undoubtedly a harbinger of being abandoned by the lord. Every household is not in the mood for the New Year, and they are looking for ways to find out the truth.
There was no lively laughter in the mansion, only a dignified and nervous atmosphere remained.
A certain house in Chang'an Lane——
"You widow of Kefu, why are you crying! My son's good official career will be washed away by your tears!"
The brightly dressed old woman was so angry that her eyebrows were raised upright, and she looked at her daughter-in-law with a knife in her eyes, as if she wanted to put her to death.
The daughter-in-law's left cheek was swollen high, and the thick powder on her face could not hide her embarrassment and haggardness.
The hair on the temples is loose, withered and yellow, and she looks ten years older than her actual age.
The daughter-in-law was so frightened by the old woman's drink that her eyes were swollen from crying and her tears stopped, but she felt even more aggrieved and sad.
The old woman said humanely, "I told you that your horoscope Kefukezi is not conducive to my son's official career. You see—isn't this fulfilled? You can make my grandson deaf, and my son's career will be hindered! Tomorrow, you will ask yourself to come down, If you continue like this, my son won't be ruined by you? You loser!"
The old woman had a fierce expression, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
If this daughter-in-law is not yet sensible, it's no wonder she is cruel.
As a mother, she couldn't allow a widow of Kefuke to continue to occupy the position of her son's main wife!
After the old woman finished speaking, the delicate woman with her belly patted the back of the old woman's hand softly to comfort her.
The woman is the niece of the old woman's natal family, and also the old woman's favorite candidate for a daughter-in-law.
Wangfu Wangzi looks good, and the horoscope is also very good.
Since his son accepted her, his official career has been smooth, and the niece's belly has also been uplifting, and she became pregnant not long after.
Seeing this, the old woman was even more eager to force her daughter-in-law to abdicate to make room for her niece.
The chaotic night passed quickly.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a piece of news turned the peaceful Maruzhou upside down.
The old woman turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground with a thump.
Even if she is a woman, she also knows how big a hat it is to "disregard the etiquette and overstep the rules".
Not only can one person be crushed to death, but three clans can also be crushed to death.
"When did you make such a big mistake of ransacking your family and exterminating your family—"
The old woman looked at her son in despair, but the son didn't respond in a daze.
At this time, the unlucky daughter-in-law came up to help her up, and the old woman's anger immediately found an outlet to vent.
She raised her big palm like a cattail fan, and slapped her daughter-in-law with great strength.
Weeping and cursing, "You widow of Kefu, where did you come from, we have no grievances, why do you stay in our house and harm people!"
If it was normal, the son would act as if he hadn't seen it.
He doesn't like his wife either, she's old and ugly and doesn't know how to flatter her.
Now he was so upset that he raised his hand to stop his mother's atrocities.
He said in embarrassment, "The disregard of etiquette is because of doting on concubines and destroying wives, and the reason for overstepping the rules is because of taking concubines!"
Although the family can be regarded as a small rich family, it is not qualified to accept five, six, seven or eight concubines.
The old woman used to dislike her daughter-in-law, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would control her son's heart, so she bought a few decent looking ones and sent them to her son's room to serve them.
result--
It's really shooting yourself in the foot.
The ghost knows that taking a few concubines is still breaking the law!
