Chapter 265
Attending the Banquet
Jiang Changning, the first son of the first year of junior high school and the second son of the second year of junior high school, did not return to his natal family, but because of his relationship with the King of Jin, he and the eldest princess of Jiashan were close to each other as mother and daughter. On this day, the couple took Xiao Ming to the Xinjian County Duke's Mansion.
When I entered the Duke's mansion, I saw the imperial doctor coming out with a medical box.
"Who in the house is feeling unwell?" King Jin asked.
The young prince smiled and said, "My father is a little uncomfortable."
On New Year's Eve, Duke Xinjian was still in high spirits. It had only been a day, so why did he feel uncomfortable?
When he saw the eldest princess of Jiashan, Jiang Changning asked with concern, "Why is the princess sick?"
The eldest princess of Jiashan complained unceremoniously, "Yushilou has launched a new wine. He drank too much and ate the cold crystal meat. He had diarrhea and couldn't get out of bed. He deserves it."
Jiang Changning's mouth twitched slightly, he is really a young man.
The eldest princess of Jiashan liked Xiao Ming very much, and the specific manifestation was that she gave a big red envelope. The specific denomination, Jiang Changning only saw it after returning home, was six thousand six hundred and sixty-six taels.
Four sixes, it’s really a smooth six!
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there was a banquet at Prince Qing's Mansion. Although he hated Prince Qing's Mansion, he didn't really break up with each other after all. Jiang Changning still had to go to the banquet with Prince Jin.
As soon as she entered the hall, Princess Yiya greeted Jiang Changning like a normal person, and Zheng Mingzhu also called out sweetly, "Auntie."
Looking at Zheng Mingzhu, who has thin arms and legs and a slender waist, Jiang Changning frowned slightly. Can a little chicken like Zheng Mingzhu rescue her from the lake?
Zheng Mingzhu diligently pursued a relationship with Jiang Changning, but the circles of married women and unmarried girls were different, and the topics of conversation were also different.
Before Jiang Changning could chase the people away, someone said, "My Lord, the girls are dancing the Flower Goddess over there."
Hurry up and play with the little girls, don't let them get in the way of gossiping about your parents' affairs.
"Those are what little girls love to play. I stopped playing them a long time ago." Zheng Mingzhu smiled at Jiang Changning, "I want to accompany Aunt Jiang."
"Good boy, we are hosting a banquet at Prince Qing's Mansion today. If you are tired of accompanying the guests here during the Chinese New Year, go and play. Be light and brisk. Don't stay here." Jiang Changning said with a genuine smile.
After hearing this, Zheng Mingzhu couldn't stand it and said, "Aunt Jiang, your voice is so nice. Can I go to Prince Jin's Mansion to chat with you in the future?"
"You girl, you are teasing me like an oriole." Jiang Changning said with a straight face and displeasure.
"No, Aunt Jiang, I. I." Zheng Mingzhu was born in a noble family and always wanted others to please her. She did not please others and would not please them.
"Don't be upset, Princess. She can't speak as a child. Just be a grownup and don't argue with her. County Lord, go play with the girls." Wen Bingqing smoothed things over.
Zheng Mingzhu left helplessly. This Princess Jin was really hard to please.
As soon as she walked away, Crown Princess De asked in a low voice: "Ning Ning, why do I feel like she is trying to please you?"
"You feel wrong. I have nothing to please her with." Jiang Changning decided to pretend to be confused.
"There are at least two reasons why it is worthy of her to please you." Princess De Wang held out two fat fingers and said.
Jiang Changning waved his hand, "No matter what the reason is, I don't care about her flattery. By the way, why didn't Princess Yu come today?"
It’s better not to say certain things clearly, but to leave them vague.
Princess De Wang was a smart person. Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, she followed her wishes and changed the topic, "I heard that Princess Wenhe is in poor health."
"I heard that I can't eat anymore. It probably only happened in the past few days." Zeng Zhaofu said in a low voice.
"Birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable." Jiang Changning sighed.
The atmosphere was stagnant, and everyone's mood was affected. Wen Bingqing hurriedly said: "It's Chinese New Year, stop talking about this, let's listen to the play, this is a new play."
On the stage, an actor was singing: "The little slave speaks too willfully, and every word you say hurts my father's heart."
"If it wasn't because of your daughter's rude words, why would you want to break off the engagement, dad?"
"What kind of drama is this? Why are you singing about breaking off the engagement?" Zeng Zhaofu asked.
Crown Princess Deok replied: "This is a new play. I haven't seen it before. I guess it's not a tragic play, but a happy play."
Jiang Changning heard the maid ask: Where are the three girls going?
The one dressed as a young lady sang: Go and save yourself in a cold kiln.
He knew what kind of play it was and said with a smile: "This play is adapted from the storybook "The Cold Kiln". You must have seen "The Cold Kiln"."
At this time, she saw Zheng Mingzhu coming over again, and deliberately raised her voice: "There is something wrong with the third sister Wang. She is a prime minister's daughter, and she should be married to a minister who will stabilize the country, but she wants to marry a beggar as her wife. She is not from the right family."
The account is wrong."
Although she felt that Zhou Duxin was more than suitable for Zheng Mingzhu, but Zhou Duxin had no affection for Zheng Mingzhu, so she had to help Zhou Duxin break this bad relationship.
Marriage is a good relationship between two families. If it is consensual and the burden of shaving is too much, it will not work.
"This Third Sister Wang is a stupid woman. She could have married into a good family, but she chose to marry a beggar. She stayed in a poor house for eighteen years while the man married someone else." Zeng Zhaofu said in support.
"As the saying goes, when a woman gets married, she is reincarnated for the second time, so she should keep her eyes open and find a good family." Wen Bingqing also said.
Under the guidance of Jiang Changning, several people chatted about getting married. In a simple word, getting married must be a well-matched match, otherwise there will be all kinds of troubles.
Jiang Changning didn't know if Zheng Mingzhu heard these words. Of course, she didn't intend to wake Zheng Mingzhu up with these few words.
She said these words just to show her attitude, so as to avoid Zheng Mingzhu from bothering her again.
Princess Yiya wanted to push her into the lake and asked Zheng Mingzhu to save her. She would not just change the story. One of them, mother and daughter, had to go to the lake. Otherwise, it would be hard to get rid of her heart.
the fire.
Jiang Changning has not yet thought of how to get one of the Zheng family's mother and daughter into the lake. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Runan Prince's Mansion hosted a banquet.
Princess Runan hired a group of skilled craftsmen to carve many beautiful ice sculptures in the garden.
Princess Huizhu couldn't resist the girls' invitation, so she took them to the garden to see the ice sculptures.
"Come on, let's go take a look too." Zeng Zhaofu said with great interest.
"I won't go. I'll keep my belly full, otherwise I'll be in trouble if I slip." Princess Deok said.
Jiang Changning also shook his head and said: "It's too cold, I don't want to go out."
"It's not convenient for me to go out." Wen Bingqing said, pressing her belly.
"Are you happy again?" Zeng Zhaofu asked in a low voice.
Wen Bingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "I've had a little time last month. I'll ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look after the Lantern Festival."
"Congratulations." Everyone laughed.
These few people didn't go out, and no one was interested in seeing the ice sculptures. They chatted about parenting.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, they saw a maid rushing in and said to the eldest princess Yiya: "Princess, the county master has fallen into the water."
Princess Yiya's face suddenly changed, "Where is my pearl?"
She followed the maid out, and Zeng Zhaofu pulled Jiang Changning and the ladies who liked to join in the fun to follow.
Chapter completed!
