Chapter 11
The banquet has begun. All kinds of dishes are exquisitely arranged, with a wide variety and attractive colors. The wine and pastries are sweet and delicious.Everyone began to taste it one after another. Situ's family cooks are very skilled.In the hall in the middle of the banquet, there were also many pots of flowers that were not commonly seen. The colors were gorgeous, and the blossoms were blooming, and the pleasant fragrance wafted everywhere.

During the banquet, Jiang Sijun ordered Lin Zi to go to the mansion to find out the whereabouts of the scroll, maybe it was hidden in Situ's mansion.

Situ Nan filled a wine glass with wine in his hand, slowly came to Lin Zixian's table, and said with a respectful smile, "Brother Zixian, you are really the hero at hand, and the victory in this battle is indispensable. Congratulations on the promotion.

Lin Zixian stood up and replied modestly: "Brother Situ has won the prize, thank you for your warm invitation, I will drink this glass of wine first."

After finishing speaking, he raised his glass and drank heavily, and Situ Nan also raised his glass and drank it down, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zixian, you must take a good rest when you come back this time. If you have time, I will take you here in the capital. Have fun and relax."

He turned his head, glanced at Princess Kangping who was sitting next to her, took two steps, came to her side, and said with a smile: I have heard the name of the princess for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. It really looks like a fairy, with different reactions, I will be lucky.Princess Kangping said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Situ, for your praise, I am ashamed."

Situ Nan went on to say: "Princess, don't be modest. Only after meeting you will you know that there is such a beautiful woman in this world. I don't know who is so lucky to marry you home." He turned his head and looked at the sitting Lin Zixian, who was at the side, smiled at him and said: "Looking at the entire imperial court, only brother Zixian has this kind of blessing for such a beautiful woman. A beauty with a hero is really envious of others!"

Lin Zixian was a little embarrassed by what he said, so he blushed and replied shyly, "Brother Situ, don't be joking."

After Princess Kangping heard this, he smiled at Situ Nan very calmly and said: "Everyone says that Mr. Situ is good at hearing and seeing, and eloquent. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

Situ Nan quickly said: "Thank you Princess for the compliment, Xiaosheng is flattered!"

After Princess Kangping returned him politely, Situ Nan went to the next table to toast the guests.

She inadvertently raised her head and looked towards the opposite side, her eyes just fell on Jiang Sijun who was sitting on the opposite side, Jiang Sijun happened to be looking at her too, her eyes met each other, she quickly averted her eyes, and looked away in a panic .He didn't dare to look in the direction where Jiang Sijun was sitting.Heart pounding.She didn't know whether he would come today, and she also knew the current situation of him and his cousin. She was worried about meeting him, afraid that he would recognize her, and was quite afraid of seeing him. The situation left her at a loss.The unintentional staring at each other instantly made her heart beat faster and her heart feel guilty. What's wrong with her? Why should she be afraid of him? I don't owe him anything. I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't feel sorry for him, so why should I care about him so much now.But just looking at each other, why did I see his gaze so affectionate, as if I saw the eyes full of love when the long-lost partner reunited, it seemed to wake up the day that I didn't want to think about and couldn't erase She tried her best to hide her emotions, trying to hide all this, for fear of being seen by others, and she didn't want others to find out.

Situ Nan toasted everyone present today. When he came to Jiang Sijun's side, he smiled triumphantly and asked softly in his ear: "Brother Jiang, last time Lingxiang Pavilion arranged for you Satisfied." Jiang Sijun looked serious, and said in a low voice: "Brother Situ's arrangement is not a blessing for me, next time I'll leave it to you." Situ Nan was not angry, but said with a playful smile: "You really are You're an idiot who failed my good intentions, such a beautiful woman, what a pity." Jiang Sijun looked at his leaving back with a disgusted expression on his face.

After eating, everyone moved into the courtyard to enjoy the beauty of the garden.Flowers of various colors bloom in full bloom.Many of these flowers are very precious varieties, which are not seen by ordinary people, and only powerful and well-off families like Situ's family can collect them.

In a year, there are rare opportunities for men and women to meet. Most of the time, women live in deep boudoirs, stay at home, and have no chance to come out at ordinary times. Now it is just in time for this opportunity, so naturally they will not let it go. While enjoying the flowers, you can show off your talents in order to find a good marriage.

Amidst the cheers, Lin Zixian showed everyone a set of sword skills. He was holding a long silver sword with a top-quality ruby ​​inlaid on the body and a red tassel on the hilt. Dancing with the wind, wielding a sword in a heroic manner, this set of swordsmanship is like flowing clouds and flowing water, with many changes and extremely fast speed. The petals of the nearby flower trees fell one after another after being shaken, and the afterglow of the evening just happened to shine on his handsome face. Let those girls watching around jumping excitedly, shouting, applauding like thunder.Fascinated by him.At the end, they all scrambled to hand over their tokens to him, hoping to be favored by him.

Situ Feng has practiced the piano since she was a child, and she is very skilled at playing the piano. She is playing the piano at the moment. The sound of the piano she plays is clear and melodious, and it is melodious. , the cooperation between the two is wonderful.

Everyone also appreciated it.

There are also other families who are good at dancing, good at working girls, and those who recite poems and paint, and they all show their talents in the courtyard one by one.

Princess Kangping drew a painting, which is a picture of orchids. With a few simple strokes, the lines are smooth and beautiful, and the painting skills are exquisite. It is comparable to famous artists in the world. There is also a poem written on the painting: "No one knows the valley of Lansheng, Kezhong Dongxuan left me a fragrance. I know that there is a clear fragrance that can relieve the filth, and I feel more sorry for the fine leaves and frost." Everyone praised, Princess Kangping is really talented and beautiful.

Princess Kangping stole the limelight this time. No matter in terms of talent or beauty, other women seemed ordinary, but she amazed the audience. All living beings admired her.

After so many years of keeping a low profile, it blooms perfectly at this moment.

Halfway through the banquet, Princess Kangping was used to being quiet and not suitable for this noisy environment. She came to a place with few people alone. Just as she was admiring the blooming flowers in the garden, Jiang Sijun came to her room at some time. Behind him, he watched her silently.

When she turned her head and saw him, she was a little stunned, not knowing how to speak for a while.

But Jiang Sijun spoke first and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the girl is fine." Princess Kangping politely replied to him: "My lord, you have mistaken someone, we have never met before!"

Hearing her answer, Jiang Sijun felt a dull pain in his chest, and said in a low voice: "Liu Shiyue, Princess Kangping, the girl is really changeable."

Princess Kangping was shocked when she heard this, but she calmed down immediately, and said with a smile, "Young Master, you have good eyesight, so what do you want me to be?"

Jiang Sijun fixed his eyes on him, leaned closer deliberately, and said coldly: "It seems that I underestimated the girl, who are you?"

Princess Kangping didn't answer his question, but was disturbed by the anger hidden in his bright eyes, turned around and left.

Princess Kangping didn't know why, but I always felt guilty. When I saw his disappointed expression when I heard that I didn't admit to knowing him, I felt sore in my heart. I don't know why, but now I feel very upset. It seemed that he had done something irreversible, maybe some time ago, she heard that he was not afraid that something happened to the Liu family would hurt her, he insisted on the marriage contract of the Jiang and Liu families, and even more so, he ran around and did many crazy things for Liu Shiyue .

She thought it was very strange at the time. She had heard that he was very dissatisfied with his marriage with his cousin. She had never cared about it for so many years. She thought he didn't like her cousin, and even thought he didn't like women. But now, for some reason, it could have been cancelled. He tried his best to keep the marriage contract, even for this matter, he did not hesitate to fall out with his family members, but also to fulfill the marriage contract and marry her.Could it be that he mistook himself for Liu Shiyue to act like this, could it be him?Impossible, it must not be like this, there may be other reasons, how could he fall in love with herself, it is impossible for her to accept such a fact, Princess Kangping defended herself in her heart, she did not want her cousin to misunderstand her relationship with Jiang What is there between Sijun.

Situ Feng looked for Jiang Sijun everywhere in the crowd, and saw him sitting under a flower tree at the moment, with a solemn expression and a preoccupied look.She happily yelled, "Brother Si Jun, so you are here, and I am so hard to find."

Jiang Sijun had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "Miss Situ, what do you want me for?" Situ Feng replied excitedly: "Did I see you, I want to take you to my small courtyard for a while, some poems and paintings I don’t quite understand, but I still want to ask you, Young Master.”

Jiang Sijun replied: "Men and women are different, not to mention that the young lady is waiting to marry in the boudoir. She is afraid of insulting the girl's reputation and asks the girl to respect herself. Jiang has a marriage contract, so it is even more inconvenient to go."

After finishing speaking, he was about to get up and leave. At this time, Situ Nan came over, patted Jiang Sijun on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jiang, you don't know Lingmei's intentions. What's wrong with marrying her? It's bad for our two families." It's all beneficial." Jiang Sijun replied, "Thank you, Brother Situ, for your kindness. The road is different, so we don't conspire with each other." Situ Nan said angrily, "Don't toast or eat fine wine, I don't know what is good or bad." Jiang Sijun ignored him , and walked into the crowd without looking back.

Li Qingzhu treated him so indifferently, he was not even willing to admit their previous past, which made his hot heart fall into the ice cave all of a sudden, feeling a piercing pain!The love that I had just sprouted was pushed back like this!
