Chang Anqing

Chapter 74
When Mrs. Cao's birthday comes, it is already after Chongyang. Compared with the deliberately low-key and simple in the past, this year's birthday is extraordinarily grand.

Before it was dawn, the maids and maids in the house were already shuttled, hanging silk and hanging lamps, and they were very busy.But each of them still had a happy look on their faces, and their eyes could not hide their gratitude, just because Cao Shi was happy today on his birthday, he took out some of the money from his private house and gave it to the next people to have fun together.

Because the great man Yang Jinfang named him a marquis this time, the limelight was in full swing, and those courtiers had already seen Yang Chongyuan's love for this eldest son, so although it was Mrs. Cao's birthday banquet, anyone who was friendly with the Yang family or attached to the Yang family. All of them brought their own daughters and relatives, and came to celebrate their birthdays with heavy gifts.

For this reason, the banquet during the day was divided into male guests and female guests. Yang Chongyuan led a group of Langjun to welcome the male guests into the main hall of the flower hall for a banquet. Welcome people to the waterside pavilion in Taiwei's mansion for a banquet.

The birthday banquet was not over from the morning until the sunset. The running water banquet was managed by the mansion, and the chefs were invited from the four famous buildings outside to make this famous Chang'an dish. Add to the fun with the troupe outside.

Although everyone at the banquet did not speak, they could see that the liveliness of the day was already approaching the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Li last year. It can be seen that the mother is as precious as the child. Mrs. Wei sat on an equal footing.

When the last rays of light faded in the evening, and the last rays of light were slowly falling, leaving only a rosy glow in the sky, the banquet was transferred to the upper and lower floors. Then, Mrs. Li took a group of female relatives to rest on the second floor, because the court was open, and although there was a bead curtain hanging in front of the second floor attic, the curious lady gently opened a corner to visit, only waiting for her mother to come out. The voice called, and then stuck out his tongue and put down his hand. Even more daring, he opened the bead curtain, revealing the snow-white arc under the silk cloth between the probes. Lang.

Under Yang Chongyuan's suggestion, the maid went up to the second floor and presented the play sign in front of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li was indifferent, only when she turned to look at Li Sui beside her, she had a mild smile: "Your wife's family likes to be lively, so Let's see what to choose."

Seeing Mrs. Li say this, Li Sui naturally did not delay, just nodded, and the maid bowed her head and presented the golden lacquer play card to her.

Li Sui took out the "Brahmin" without thinking and handed it over, and immediately someone hurried to the backstage to report for the show.

"Brahman" is a Buddhist tune in the Western Regions. It was introduced during Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not a serious and upright repertoire. Instead, it is a lively drama that tells the interesting things about Buddhism in the Western Regions. When I patted Li Sui's hand, I naturally understood that the little lady followed her wishes and ordered her favorite scene to make her happy.

When the play cards were handed over to Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Cao was no longer as humble as before, and she didn't know whether it was because people were in good spirits during happy events, or because of the red and gold peony palace satin dress, she looked more and more energetic at the moment. Yiyi, you are so extravagant.

I saw her sitting there with her back straight and her chin slightly raised, her eyes lowered with a somewhat complacent expression, she glanced at the sign, and then at the bowed eyebrows, the respectful maid said with satisfaction: "Just click on "King of Lanling"."

Hearing this song, Li Sui looked sideways calmly, only to see Cao shi leisurely taking the Qing Li handed over by the maid, with undisguised contentment on his lips.

In contrast, Mrs. Li's expression was much more easy-going and indifferent, with a faint smile as usual, but Li Sui, who was sitting beside him, could see the sneering and chill on Mrs. Li's lips.

"Lanling King" is about Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling of Northern Qi, who went into battle with a mask under Jinyong City to kill the enemy and defeated the Northern Zhou army. During the battle, it is undoubtedly a tribute to this prince who conquered the battlefield and established immortal achievements.

Although Yang Chongyuan has always liked these songs and dances, but at this moment, Cao's performance in front of everyone, especially in front of his aunt, is more a silent show and provocation.

It can be seen that the current Cao family is no longer the Cao family who used to look at his aunt's wink and be careful to flatter him.

Thinking of this, Li Sui silently retracted his gaze and took a sip from a cup of Pu Tao wine in front of him, but saw Baoying sitting across from him with a strange expression. There is restraint and sadness.

Li Sui followed and saw that Chen Zhiyan, the king of Bohai County, who was wearing a sapphire blue tee shirt, seemed to have come under the order of the king, followed by dozens of eunuchs and maids, all holding lacquered red gift boxes.

This scene naturally attracted everyone's attention. Under the personal reception of Yang Chongyuan, Chen Zhiyan launched the imperial decree. Except for Yang Chongyuan, who stood upright leisurely, everyone stood up and worshipped.

"The sage's decree, the Cao family, the mother of the brave lord, is of honor and honor, has a prudent heart, and is endowed with kindness and kindness.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They never thought that even the emperor would give Yang Chongyuan such a big face now.

The Yang family only had two appointments. The former Taiwei's wife, Li's, was naturally named a first-rank Qin lady due to her position as a Taiwei. Now Cao's has surpassed Cui's wife, who is from a noble family. Being the first to seal Liupin'an people, it can be seen that nurturing a capable son is not inferior to marrying a powerful husband.

In the dazzling light and shadow, Li Sui saw Mrs. Cao being lifted up by someone who was almost weeping with joy, and Mrs. Li, her aunt, looked very much like the statue of Guanyin she worshipped every day. Laughing, but it is a solemn treasure, with a tendency to attract people who are not close to strangers.

"Go, let someone set a seat on the side of the Taiwei, and invite the King of Bohai County to take the seat. Today, the King of the County has the imperial decree and should not be neglected."

Hearing Li's order, Yinniang naturally went down to take care of herself. When she turned around, Li looked at him and was excited. Cao, who pretended to be calm, laughed in her heart, but her hand was kindly covered.

"Dalang is now the pillar of our country, and you can be regarded as guarding the cloud."

Hearing what Mrs Li said, Mrs Cui, who was on the side, gave a rare smile, and came up and said, "No, it's more than a happy day today. My sister congratulates my sister."

In the sound of congratulations, Mrs. Cao saw Mrs. Li's closeness and Mrs. Cui's ingratiating face. Thinking of Mrs. Cui, who had always been proud of her, respecting her sister for the first time, she suddenly felt light and happy, and she couldn't help but feel proud. , and immediately held back the tears of joy, holding back Li Shi with a peach blossom face, and said with a smile: "Dalang has his current achievements, and it is mostly because of His Majesty's holy grace, and the Taiwei's careful teaching—"

Hearing Mrs. Cao's "sister", it was not like she was regarded as his wife before, and Mrs. Li smiled even more, and then even heard Mrs. Cao pretending to add: "Naturally, it is inseparable from the cultivation of Mrs."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Sui pulled Baoying forward and followed the crowd to congratulate them politely. When the song and dance drama started again, Li Sui looked at Mrs Cao who was not far away. The glory of Cao's family has become like cooking oil on fire, and the battle between Cao's family and Li's family has intensified.

Over the bead curtain railing, Li Sui looked at Chen Zhiyan, the king of Bohai County, who was drinking with Yang Chongyuan, and his eyes became more profound and silent.

Taking advantage of Yang Jin's achievements, Emperor Yuan Cheng first personally welcomed the victory of the army as the emperor and made him a marquis, and now he ordered his trusted brother Chen Zhiyan to follow the imperial edict, and made Cao's wife his wife. This not only raised Yang Jin, but also won Yang Chongyuan. The intention also aroused the aunt's vigilance, and completely provoked the dispute between the Li family and the Cao family. It would be too naive to say that this was not deliberately done by Yuan Chengdi.

I'm afraid that now under the pressure of Cao's step by step, my aunt has no time to analyze Yuan Chengdi's provocation, and Yang Chongyuan is now above ten thousand people, and he is so self-confident that he did not put Yuan Chengdi living under his nose at all. In my eyes, at this moment, I am afraid that I also think that Emperor Yuan Cheng is trying to please him, and I have never noticed it.

When the snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins.

Emperor Yuancheng brought this to the extreme with only these four or two moves.

Is it about to do something...
